The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Huo Zhanting is a military general, and his home ground is on the battlefield.

Only by galloping on the battlefield can Huo Zhanting feel at ease.

However, not everyone can squeeze into the court and abuse power to manipulate people's hearts.

Shen Qinglan could understand Huo Zhanting's emotion, but she did not agree with it.

"You are an eagle on the battlefield, so you must soar into the sky. An eagle can only survive in the sky. However, the people in the court always want to break your wings and make you crawl and fight in the snake cave with them."

In this case, how can the advantages be reflected?

Huo Zhanting looked at Shen Qinglan with some surprise, as if he didn't expect that he would appear like this in Shen Qinglan's eyes.

His eyes were burning and eager. Shen Qinglan felt as if she was pushed into a fire, and her earlobes were bleeding.

Huo Zhanting reached out and grabbed Shen Qinglan's hand, holding her in his arms, and said with a hint of joy:

"Am I really that outstanding in your eyes?"

Shen Qinglan was helpless, but still said with certainty: "How many people in the world can be called the God of War?"

After Shen Qinglan finished speaking, she felt Huo Zhanting's chest, whom she was leaning on, vibrating slightly, as if he was laughing.

Huo Zhanting thought about it, and then asked seriously: "What about you? I am an eagle, so what are you?"

Shen Qinglan raised her head from Huo Zhanting's arms, stretched out her hand to pinch Huo Zhanting's chin, and said with a smile:

"Me? I'm a falconer."

Huo Zhanting smiled when he heard this, buried his head in Shen Qinglan's shoulder, and said seriously:

"If so, I am willing."

In the past, he could charge into the battlefield fearlessly, but now, with Shen Qinglan, it seemed that there was an invisible rope pulling him and Shen Qinglan together.

Shen Qinglan was also used to Huo Zhanting's stickiness with him from time to time, so he just poked his forehead and said:

"In any case, sending troops to encircle and suppress the Black Swallow Mountain must be done without delay. In my opinion, we should nominate the Ninth Prince for this matter."

"Ninth Prince?" Huo Zhanting pondered for a moment, then immediately understood what Shen Qinglan meant.

Now, since only the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince were left competing, then encircling and suppressing Black Swallow Mountain and capturing the Fourth Prince would become a great achievement.

Whoever can handle this matter well will surely gain more favor from Emperor Jingren.

Although the Eighth Prince has lost his maternal grandfather's royal family, his influence in the court is still very indestructible.

Furthermore...

The Fourth Prince's escape from the Heavenly Prison may not have been without external help.

Either the eighth prince or the ninth prince.

After all, Emperor Jingren at that time was still hesitating whether to kill the Fourth Prince or not, but if he allowed the Fourth Prince to escape, Emperor Jingren would have no worries.

And now Shen Qinglan said that he would help the Ninth Prince, which meant that Shen Qinglan believed that the Fourth Prince was most likely released by the Eighth Prince's party.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhanting couldn't help but ask with some doubt: "Do you think the Fourth Prince was released by the Eighth Prince's party?"

Shen Qinglan nodded and said with certainty: "It must be."

Shen Qinglan had been suspicious ever since the Fourth Prince escaped.

After all, the prison is heavily guarded, how can it be easy to escape?

And last time, Wang Heng also died in the Heavenly Prison. Shen Qinglan concluded that there must be traces of the Eighth Prince's party among the people in charge of the Heavenly Prison. Therefore, Shen Qinglan believed that the Fourth Prince's escape this time was the work of the Eighth Prince's party.

Do not……

Or to be more specific, it was more like the queen's method.

Seeing Shen Qinglan's determination, Huo Zhanting was silent for a while and then said:

"Logically speaking, the Eighth Prince has no reason to release them, unless they have a bigger conspiracy?"

Seeing that Huo Zhanting seemed to have a guess, Shen Qinglan smiled and hugged Huo Zhanting's neck, praising him:

"Prince Zhan is really smart. The Queen may have considered capturing the Fourth Prince as a great achievement, but she has already been in the spotlight this time. How can everything go as she wishes?"

"Besides, the art of being an emperor is all about balance. If the center of gravity has tilted towards the Eighth Prince, we naturally need to pull it back."

When the snipe and the clam fight, only the fisherman can gain.

The Thirteenth Prince is lying dormant now, only for the sake of his brilliant future.

The next morning's court session was exactly as Shen Qinglan had guessed.

Emperor Jingren wanted to send people to wipe out the group of bandits raised by the Fourth Prince in Black Swallow Mountain. Of course, it would be even better if the Fourth Prince could be captured on the way.

But the court was completely silent, and no one dared to respond.

Instead, the Eighth Prince spoke up, which was very rare for him, and said that he was willing to go and suppress the bandits and pacify Dayong.

But once the Eighth Prince made a move, the Ninth Prince naturally refused to give in and also wanted to fight.

The court was immediately divided into two factions and began to argue.

The husband said he was right, and the wife said she was right, which made Emperor Jingren frown and feel it was a noisy situation.

In the end, Emperor Jingren couldn't help but looked directly at Huo Zhanting who was sitting in a wheelchair and asked with a smile:

"The War King's ability to march is rare in the world. In your opinion, who should be sent to Black Swallow Mountain this time?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhanting immediately cupped his hands and said to Emperor Jingren seriously:

"In fact, the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince don't need to fight over it like this. After all, our Great Yong Dynasty is now strong and powerful, and we have a strong military. No matter who goes to the small Black Swallow Mountain, they can take it down."

As soon as Huo Zhanting said this, everyone couldn't help but look at him twice more, expressing their surprise.

How long has it been since this god of war returned? How come he has already learned to smooth things over in the court?

He said this, but it seemed as if he hadn't said it. He really performed Tai Chi very well.

Emperor Jingren naturally thought so too, but at this time the court officials were arguing loudly, and he just wanted to find a middleman to say something unbiased.

Just when Emperor Jingren's face looked unhappy and he was about to get angry, Huo Zhanting suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Of course, either of the two princes can go, but in my opinion, the ninth prince is more suitable."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Eighth Prince looked at Huo Zhanting with eyes that were about to spit fire.

Huo Zhanting pretended not to know and continued to play:

"The Eighth Prince is good at literature, and the Ninth Prince is good at martial arts. Three years ago, the Ninth Prince went to Lihe to watch the battle and made great achievements. I believe that if the Ninth Prince were to lead the troops in such a small Black Swallow Mountain, it would be no problem at all."

As soon as these words came out, the Eighth Prince's face turned even greener.

Wasn't Huo Zhanting saying that he was a coward?

The Eighth Prince wanted to explain, but Emperor Jingren had already made up his mind. He immediately ordered the Ninth Prince to lead the troops to conquer Black Swallow Mountain.

The Ninth Prince really didn't expect that such a big pie would suddenly fall in front of him, and he immediately thanked and accepted the order happily.

The Eighth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince's arrogant look and was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

It was obvious that it was the Queen Mother who deliberately planned for him and let the Fourth Prince go on purpose, wanting him to step on the Fourth Prince to ascend to the throne.

Such a good job was a sure thing, but it was given to the Ninth Prince! And it was Huo Zhanting who helped!

Could it be that they are already in the same group?

The Eighth Prince was suspicious, and when he was leaving the court, he directly stopped the Ninth Prince and his two companions who were thanking Huo Zhanting.

"This prince didn't know when Ninth Brother and King Zhan became so close."
