The people Xiao Yuan led before were disrupted and organized into the Xiao family's army. Things went unexpectedly smoothly, and even he himself found it unbelievable. In the end, Xiao Zhong was afraid of problems, so he sent his subordinates to do tricks. Someone sneaked in and inquired, and then they understood the reason.

The reason is surprisingly simple: most of the people under Li Shouyuan were recently recruited, and by coincidence, the place where the soldiers came from was the place where there had been severe disasters in the past. Originally, there was a disaster, and the treasury should have provided relief, but at that time the eldest prince was about to open a palace, so his uncle's family took action, and the money...

Anyway, they didn't have a copper or a grain of rice. It happened that the imperial court was recruiting troops at that time, so they followed suit.

Even if you know that being a soldier means going to the battlefield and killing people, there is nothing you can do about it, and if you stay, it will be a dead end.

Later, when they entered the barracks, there were more sources of information, and they knew that there were actually disaster relief funds and relief grains... Some smart people guessed the reason. Everyone passed the news to each other, and it was good if they didn't hate the current Emperor of Western Chu. , how can you still be loyal to him?

Later, when Li Shouyuan heard about it, he didn't stop him, and even added fuel to the flames, which made them hate Emperor Xichu even more.

They were already prepared to die outside during this expedition, and they were counting on the military pay to be sent back and used as money for their hard work. Who would have thought that the Emperor of Western Chu would actually cry for poverty?

In the end, Li Shouyuan sold his property and gave them military pay.

They didn't understand the truth, but they could see it with their eyes. When Li Shouyuan was rumored to be cruel, they didn't believe a word of it. It was obvious that he was beheading those corrupt officials. It should be a very satisfying thing, so why did he do it? Being spread like this?

In addition, Li Shouyuan arranged for people to preach (wash) and lecture (brain) them from time to time. Anyway, they don't recognize anyone as the emperor now, but they recognize Li Shouyuan as the general.

Under such circumstances, everyone was filled with indignation at Li Shouyuan's plot against Emperor Xi Chu. Knowing that he was now following Xiao Yin, they could accept it. Besides, the Xiao family had sufficient funds. After being incorporated into the Xiao family's army, their treatment was not even the slightest bit better. Of course it doesn't matter.

Xiao Yuan didn't even expect that the effect he achieved by "dispersing all the family wealth" at that time was so good. God knows, he really just didn't have time to transfer the last part of the money confiscated from the family. He thought that he couldn't take advantage of Emperor Xichu, so he said to donate. Use it as military expenses...

Xiao Yuanliang, who felt that he had deceived other people's feelings, suddenly felt pain for a second. The next second, he heard footsteps coming from outside the tent.

"Boss, I'm here."

"Enter"

Hearing this title, Xiao Yuan knew that it was news from the Intelligence Department.

After being upgraded from a department to a branch, those assigned to his branch all called him eldest brother. Although the people in the intelligence department also called him the same way, the one who called Xiao Zhong was not the second brother, but the boss.

The tent was opened, and sure enough, it was the person in charge of Emperor Xichu's part of the Intelligence Department.

When the message was sent, Xiao Zhong read it first and then handed it to him.

"Here, the news you wanted is here."

Xiao Yuan took it and saw that it was indeed the order from Emperor Xi Chu.

Xiao Zhong was really right. Emperor Xi Chu asked them to come back slowly. Then they would no longer be stationed at the border, but would march directly towards Kyoto.

"What is he going to do?" Xiao Yuan was a little confused.

"Your biggest traitor is dead, and those in charge of these people are his confidants. What do you think he is going to do?" Xiao Zhong asked.

"You mean, he plans to eliminate dissidents?" This conjecture came to Xiao Yuan's mind.

"That's the 'Qing Jun Side', can you speak?" Xiao Zhong said with a smile.

"That's what you mean. Have you made arrangements with the people over there?" Xiao Yuan asked.

He was talking about being sent to protect the Xiao family who were disguised as the "Li family".

"It has been arranged a long time ago. If I had waited until you came to remind me, I would have been dead." Xiao Zhong rolled his eyes.

"Okay." Xiao Yuan was not angry after being told that, and smiled.

Anyway, Xiao Zhong's dog mouth didn't say anything good, so he just let it go.

"Don't worry so much, he won't be so quick. You have to know that the Li family is very famous now. If he takes action at this juncture, he might not think that his position is too stable." Xiao Zhong saw that he had no reaction at all. A surprising explanation.

"Okay, you are responsible for this matter and I won't care about it." Xiao Yuan saw the news that he wanted to know and knew that he had arranged it properly, so he prepared to escape.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Go and visit some of the big camps, lest your people think what we did to you." Xiao Zhong warned.

During this period, Xiao Yuan returned to the Xiao family and didn't go out much - after all, he was the boss of this group and could participate in many decisions of the Xiao family.

He has been following Xiao Yin on official business recently and rarely enters the military camp. If he had not come to find Xiao Zhong this time, he might not have entered the military camp once every ten days and a half.

"What, is someone making trouble?" Xiao Yuan was a little stunned by what he said.

It stands to reason that this kind of situation should not happen in the Xiao family's army, and he knows that the soldiers under his command, although their loyalty may be doubtful, are still very strict in discipline.

"That's not true, but who made you hate others? You were the second prince back then, and now you are the emperor. They are scary. Once you enter the Xiao Mansion, you will not be able to get out." Xiao Zhong thought of the rumors he had heard and also Some dumbfounded.

This was the first time he encountered this kind of problem. He didn't know how those people would react when they heard the true identity of "Li Shouyuan".

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yuan thought about the official duties that needed to be handled on his case, thought for a moment, and decided to go see them.
