Due to the good performance of the staff, Xu Yihuan also brought Xu Tai's staff with him. Xu Yihuan was very friendly and left the job of looking after Xu Tai to the staff.

"Miss Xu, Vice General Cui is a very good chess piece. Miss Xu can ask him about his attitude later." The staff followed closely behind on horseback.

In just a moment, he accelerated his horse and rushed between the steward and Yeshang.

Xu Yihuan drove his horse and turned a corner: "Okay, my staff will go with me later."

The steward wanted to rein in his horse and squeeze the staff out, but found that after the staff squeezed in, they could no longer retreat.

Xu Tai was thrown across the horse by his staff, groaning and crying as the horse bucked. The staff thought he was noisy, so he fainted with a slap.

After a while, Xu Yihuan and others arrived at the door of Xue Mansion.

Xue Mansion, there are only two simple words on the door of the mansion, and the plaque of Xue Mansion is not made like the plaque of a wealthy family.

Xu Yihuan dismounted and looked slightly stunned.

The steward had a keen eye, dismounted and trotted forward and said: "Marshal Xue retired and returned to his hometown, so it is no longer suitable to use the imperial official plaque. Marshal Xue keeps a low profile."

Xu Yihuan nodded, and the staff on the side looked at the steward who snatched away what she was going to say like a flatterer, and looked slightly annoyed and muttered to herself: "Flatterer."

Xiaochun and Moer stepped forward and knocked on the door, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Clang" the door opened.

Xu Yihuan looked back at the person who opened the door. Mo'er stepped forward and said, "Is this the home of former Marshal Xue Marshal? We are from the Jin Palace."

The guard was a lame old man in his fifties or sixties. Hearing Mo'er's words, he limped forward and said, "Prince Jin, what do you want from our master?"

Xu Yi stepped forward with a smile: "I heard that Marshal Xue is ill. We are people under Marshal Xue's account and came to visit. I would like to ask if Vice General Cui is here too?"

When the old man heard this, he also looked for Vice General Cui and came forward, cupped his hands and said: "Vice General Cui is here, he is here."

Ever since the master resigned, Vice General Cui has completely become an idler, and his position as deputy general has become a decoration. The Cui family came to find another job for Vice General Cui many times, but the master refused. So when the old guard heard In the army, he became more and more polite to Vice General Cui as he became acquainted with him as a colleague.

Since Marshal Xue resigned, the once bustling Xue Mansion has now become a crowded hall. After all, noble people have arrived, and the concierge has a smile on his face.

Xu Yihuan and others successfully entered the Xue Mansion. Xu Yihuan sighed in his heart. Xu Tai was worthy of his ruthless vision and his eclectic approach to staff selection. It was a pity to have such a person beside him.

In just the blink of an eye, Xu Yihuan decided to keep his staff by his side and rely on him more in the future.

When the staff saw that Miss Xu had used their suggestions, they couldn't help but feel a little prouder on their faces, and they followed Xu Yihuan into the Xue Mansion with satisfaction.

The steward followed closely behind Ye Shang. Although there were some things that he couldn't help with, his eyes were sharp and it only took him a moment to figure it out.

Prince Jin has a very deep position in the eldest lady. I think the eldest lady must need the help of Prince Jin. Although the staff is capable, they are not as good as Prince Jin. He has thought clearly that he will not compete with the staff for status. He wants to stay in Jin with peace of mind. The king was waiting for an opportunity.

The layout of the Xue Mansion was simple and plain. Xu Yihuan followed the guard into the two courtyards and saw the servants and maids in groups of three or three, many of whom were disabled.

Xu Yihuan and Ye Shang walked side by side, their eyes lighting up wherever they passed.

As soon as they stepped into the living room, Xu Yihuan said to Ye Shang: "Marshal Xue is indeed a veteran general of the Jin Kingdom for many years." Being able to take in the remnant soldiers after retiring is not something ordinary generals can do.

What's more, after he retired and returned home, there were not many people around him who could protect him and treat these veterans well.

Xu Yihuan's respect for Marshal Xue ignited in her heart, and she had wrongly blamed Marshal Xue at the beginning. "Wait a moment, distinguished guest. I will send someone to invite Vice-General Cui." The guard waved his hand and asked the maid to serve tea. He then turned to whisper to the boy at the door and then left.

Just as he was serving tea, he heard brisk footsteps coming from outside the door.

Xu Yihuan looked along the sound and happened to fall on the person coming.

"Xu Xiaowei, Jin Wang" Vice General Cui stood at the door with a face full of joy. When he saw Xu Yihuan and Jin Wang, his eyes were full of smiles.

King Jin nodded slightly, and after a while of greetings.

Xu Yihuan said bluntly: "Vice General Cui, to tell you the truth, we came today to see Marshal Xue."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Cui's face darkened at first, and then he said, "I wonder what Captain Xu is doing here?" In the killing last night, any nobleman with a military background would have guessed how bloody the scene was.

Lieutenant Xu's appearance in Yuncheng and the camp was not seen by Lieutenant Cui. Today, she only looked a little tired on her face, but she didn't look injured. Lieutenant Cui knew that the assassination was not over yet, and who It is not certain who will win.

"Marshal Xue is willing to plead for the people of the world and seek a life for the Xue family and Vice General Cui." Xu Yihuan didn't want to beat around the bush at all.

After hearing this, Vice General Cui's face darkened.

He leisurely stood up and took two steps, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "Although my uncle has retired and returned to his hometown, the foundations of the Xue family and the Cui family are still there, and they have not lost their vitality."

Xu Yihuan smiled when he heard the words and said: "Vice General Cui, I don't tell secret stories, but Marshal Xue's ability to pretend to be sick makes me think that I can escape His Majesty. Even if I escape, what about the servants of the Xue family outside the door, and where are the Cui family?" ?”

"And, where are you, Vice General Cui?" Xu Yihuan stepped forward and patted Vice General Cui's chest.

Vice General Cui frowned when he heard this.

"Not to mention whether you escaped the Yuecheng riot and dispatched troops, even if you escaped, can the matter of returning to the court with the army stand up to investigation?"

He added: "The county magistrates of Yuncheng and Yuecheng are both from the Xie family of the queen's natal family. After everything calms down, there is no guarantee that the Xie family will not blame all this on Marshal Xue in order to evade responsibility."

"Prince Jin and I did not have military power at the time, but the three princes fought their way back."

As soon as Xu Yihuan nodded, Vice Admiral Cui's face turned from green to white, and then from white to green.

Ye Shang sat in the chair and watched Vice General Cui hesitate. He stood up and walked to his side and said, "Don't Vice General Cui and Marshal Xue want a bright and clear world? For so many years, the Cui family and the Xue family have been hampered by others. There are not many things to do?"

Ye Shang snorted coldly and continued: "With Marshal Xue's talent, he has been fighting in the north and south for so many years. Why do you still have to look at the queen and the Xie family when you are old?"

"And Your Majesty, how have you treated your loyal ministers and veterans over the years? Is it worthy of your loyalty?"

"Stop talking." Vice General Cui pursed his lips, his face full of sorrow.

"Hahaha" Marshal Xue came out from the back room of the living room with a smile.

When Xu Yihuan and Ye Shang heard this, they turned around and saw that there was still a trace of illness on Marshal Xue's face.

Xu Yihuan knew at a glance that she was at the right place this time. She stepped forward and cupped her hands and said, "I have met Marshal Xue."

"I've met Marshal Xue." Everyone saw Xu Yihuan salute to Marshal Xue and followed suit.

Marshal Xue waved his hand gently to let everyone avoid the ceremony and said to Vice Admiral Cui: "My guess is not bad."
