Although Cui Gan broke up with Li Xiu last time, there was actually no personal grudge between the two, which could only be called a battle of ideas. However, now Zheng Zhong and other radicals have committed the assassination of Li Xiu, which has turned the battle of ideas into a life-and-death battle.

Although the aristocratic family is powerful, everyone is very afraid of Li Xiu's various unique talents, led by Cui Gan. After all, Li Xiu had already proved with printing techniques before that he had the ability to dismantle the aristocratic family, and no one was sure whether Li Xiu had any other ways to deal with the aristocratic family, so Cui Gan was very dissatisfied with Zheng Zhong and others' actions.

But things have happened. No matter how dissatisfied Cui Gan is, it is useless. The most important thing now is to solve the problem. So Cui Gan asked someone to send a letter to Li Xiu, hoping to meet him again. Even if it cannot eliminate Li Xiu's hostility, at least he must let him know that not all aristocratic families want to kill him.

However, just as Cui Gan finished speaking, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid knocking from the door outside, which made everyone present stunned. Then he looked at Cui Gan. This was a secret hall in Cui Gan's mansion, which was usually used to discuss some confidential matters, and usually no one would disturb him, so now someone suddenly knocked on the door, which surprised them a little.

"It should be that the person who sent the letter to Li Xiu has returned. I asked him to report it immediately after he comes back." Cui Gan said immediately, but when he said this, his face couldn't help but show a little nervous look on his face. After all, how Li Xiu responded means the attitude of his current aristocratic family. If Li Xiu was willing to see him, it means that both sides still have room for improvement.

In order to prevent the discussion from leaking out, there was not even a servant in the hall, so Cui Gan stood up in person and opened the door of the hall. It turned out that he sent a letter to Li Xiu outside. He asked the other party in, and then he asked, "Have the letter been delivered?"

"Master, the villain personally handed the letter to the prince-consort!" The servant answered with great certainty.

"What do you mean by the prince consort?" Cui Gan asked again, and the other people in the hall also showed concern, stretching their ears one by one waiting for the servant's answer.

"This..." But what was unexpected was that the servant who delivered the letter showed a hesitant expression when he heard Cui Gan's question, as if there was something hidden.

"If you have something to say, how do you feel hesitant?" Cui Gan saw the performance of this servant, and immediately scolded him angrily. He was extremely strict in his family. The servants in the family have always been known for being polite, but the behavior of this servant has been greatly rude.

Seeing Cui Gan getting angry, the servant was frightened and immediately replied quickly: "Don't calm down. After the villain handed over your letter to the prince-consort, he didn't expect that the prince-consort would tear the letter directly without even reading it, and...and..."

"And what?" Cui Gan tore it off when Li Xiu didn't read his letter at all, which made him angry. Although he hoped to reconcile with Li Xiu, it did not mean that he would give up his dignity and pray to the other party.

"And the prince consort also asked the villain to bring a word to the master, saying that he was different and did not make plans, so he asked him not to waste his time." The servant said again, but after he finished speaking, he was so scared that he was sweating profusely, for fear that Cui Gan would take his anger on him in anger.

"What a different way of doing things is not to do with each other. It seems that he is determined to be incompatible with us." Zheng Zhong, who was standing behind Cui Gan, couldn't help but sneer. He was originally a arrogant and arrogant person. Now that he saw that Li Xiu did not give them a chance to reconcile, he felt even more disgusted with Li Xiu.

"The Tao is different and does not plan for each other! The Tao is different and does not plan for each other..." However, Cui Gan repeated Li Xiu's words several times, and the anger just now slowly dissipated. Finally, he finally sighed, and he seemed to have grown much older and didn't speak again for a long time.

At the same time, Li Xiu also said goodbye to Cheng Yaojin and returned home, and then hurriedly ran to find Princess Pingyang. When he saw the other party, he found that Princess Pingyang was holding Xin'er and teasing Luo'er. Now she had taken off her armor and put on a skirt. Her white face was full of a loving smile. If it weren't for her own eyes, many people wouldn't believe that she was the hero who commanded thousands of troops before.

"Husband, you are back, what do you want to eat tonight?" Princess Pingyang also noticed Li Xiu's arrival at this time. She raised her head and smiled brightly at him, as if she was not troubled by the things today.

"Eat whatever you want, as long as you eat with your wife!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time. After experiencing a life and death, he cherished his family even more, especially after seeing Princess Pingyang change out of military uniform and return to the family, he felt even more at ease.

When Princess Pingyang heard Li Xiu's answer, she couldn't help but smile again, but at this time she seemed to think of something, and looked up again and said, "By the way, Uncle Ma has come, and she also said that you would go to the front yard to see him after you come back. I guess your husband will come directly to the inner house after he returns home. He hasn't seen Uncle Ma at all, right?"

"Uncle Ma is here too?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Princess Pingyang's words. Mr. Ma has been older in recent years, and after retreating from Feinusi, he no longer paid attention to any mundane things. He focused on accompanying Princess Guanghua to retire at home, and also helped Hener and Shangguan Yi take care of the children. He had all the joy of family life, but he didn't expect that even he would be alarmed today.

At that moment, Li Xiu said goodbye to Princess Pingyang and quickly walked to the front yard. As a result, Ma Master had just learned about his return and was about to find him. As a result, the two of them also met. However, when Li Xiu saw Ma Master, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Uncle Ma, why are you dressing like this?"

Mr. Ma was wearing armor at this time. Although his beard and hair were all white, he was not old at all, and he looked a bit like Huang Zhong, the old man of the Three Kingdoms.

"Nonsense, the princess took all the guards away this morning. She was worried that the house was empty, so she notified me to bring the guards to support her. And I heard that you almost died outside. How about it, where was the injury?" Although Mr. Ma deliberately said relaxed, he still couldn't help but show a look of concern on his face.

"It's nothing serious to hurt your arm. Uncle Ma has to worry!" Li Xiu also smiled and thanked Mr. Ma when he heard this. No wonder he was wearing armor, it turned out to protect his family.

"Since this time the matter is related to the aristocratic families, what are you going to do? Are you really planning to be enemies of the big families like the five surnames and Qi Wang?" Ma Ye suddenly spoke seriously at this time. Although he didn't like these big families, he had to admit the strength of the aristocratic families. Li Xiu was his closest junior, so he naturally didn't want anything else to happen to him.
