Pick all the cold branches

The next day, Jia Fei didn't let Zhen Xian go out.

His Royal Highness King Jing insisted on letting him stay in the house so that he could rest and do nothing. He also left the guards to guard him and took Yuqing out alone.

Although Zhen Xian was unwilling and had stubbornly protested, he still couldn't resist the prince's insistence and could only give up.

The person His Highness was going to see was Lu Lan, and if he was not allowed to go, most of them were worried about his embarrassment, and the other half were probably still upset.

Zhen Xian knew it in his heart.

They came to Longhuzhai to "borrow soldiers".Running into Lu Lan was unexpected.But this plan must not delay the business.

During this trip to the south, His Highness is nominally the "Great Governor" appointed by imperial decree, but in fact, there is not a single soldier or general under his command.

The real military power in the southeast is Hu Jingcheng, governor of Zhejiang Province.

Hu Dutang has been in Zhezhi for more than eight years. He is a big official with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. He is diligent and dedicated to everything. He has supervised the battle on the front line of this long sea for eight years, so he naturally has the heart of the army.

Now, a "Great Governor" suddenly came in, who was also the son of His Majesty the Emperor. Everyone thought that His Highness Prince Jing was here to seize the military power.

Seizing power is certainly a mediocre concern, but if His Highness wants to settle down in the southeast and achieve something, he must have a bargaining chip.

When Zhen Xian was young, he had met Hu Dutang once, and he felt that he was a calm and vigorous elder, well-versed in people and the world, but he didn't do anything, and was different from many mediocre people who mixed up in the officialdom.

Hu Jingcheng is a capable minister.His Majesty the Emperor also knew this very well, so he entrusted Hu Dutang with the important responsibility of the southeast.

However, the Japanese pirates who caused disasters in the southeast have been suppressed for eight years. Although there have been many successes, they have not been eliminated.

Zhen Xian once speculated that the crux of the problem might be that the imperial court's military resources and salaries are often not enough to support the military, which makes the officers and soldiers weak in combat power, so they can only fight and rest, and cannot take advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It wasn't until he came to Zhezhi twice with His Royal Highness King Jing to see it for himself that he suddenly understood that it is fatal that the treasury is empty and difficult to maintain, but what is even more fatal is that there is a force in this southeast country, and even in the court, that is unwilling to wipe out The Japanese pirates quelled the war.Compared with the Jing'an Kingdom, which returned peace to the people, they were more happy to see the southeast maintain chaos. While taking advantage of the chaos to profit and erode the country, they thought that the southeast war situation would raise military pay as a threat to play a game with His Majesty the Emperor.

These people were Chen Shiqin, Lu Shiquan, an interest group centered on the chief eunuchs, and even the entire officialdom from the two provinces of Zhejiang to the central government.

In an important town in the southeast, with half a wall of rivers and mountains, only one Hu Jingcheng fought against the Japanese, and he was still tied to his body with a big weight. The ending can be imagined.

Especially, if Hu Dutang has also been voluntarily or involuntarily involved in this big mess spread by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau... I am afraid that even he himself will not want to eradicate the Japanese plague.

As long as the Japanese pirates in the southeast have not been killed, Zhezhi still needs Hu Dutang, and His Majesty the Emperor still needs him Hu Jingcheng.

This unstoppable battle has become a life-saving talisman, and a pair of hands that were supposed to help the country and protect the common people are tightly clutched on it, fearing that if they let go, their heads will fall to the ground.

Now His Royal Highness King Jing suddenly went south to lead the southeast war and drive out the Japanese pirates.

This is to kill people.

In order to survive, these people will definitely try their best to obstruct it.The resistance His Highness will encounter will be even more tragic than what Hu Jingcheng encountered in the past eight years.

The only one who can be an ally is Hu Jingcheng.

But His Highness cannot rely on Hu Jingcheng.

His Highness needs his own strong soldiers, a force that is completely separated from the officialdom of the court and the thorns of Zhezhi's power, to support him in fighting a bloody road, first to win the trust of Hu Jingcheng, and then to help each other.

So His Highness must borrow the "soldiers" from Longhuzhai.

But this dragon and tiger village belongs to Lu Lan.

Lu Lan had resentment towards him, even greater than the resentment towards the palace, Zhen Xian thought it was reasonable.After all, he had made a promise to Jun and failed to keep it. He has no excuse.

His Highness did not want him to have contact with Lu Lan, but mainly to protect him.

But if Lu Lan insisted on making things difficult for this and refused to cooperate with His Highness, it would not be worth it.

If Lu Lan was determined to lend his troops to His Highness, no matter what he was asked to do, Zhen Xian would never hesitate.

Zhen Xian sat alone in the room, staring at the slightly yellowed window paper, feeling extremely anxious.

Yesterday, although Lu Lan had been deliberately targeting, he did not seriously do anything to hurt His Highness.Zhen Xian wondered if he should.Even if something happens, with the abilities of Yuqing and the guards, they can protect His Highness comprehensively.He was only worried that Lu Lan would embarrass His Highness endlessly.

However, Zhen Xian never thought that Yu Qing, who followed Jia Fei on the other side, also felt restless in her heart.

Ever since Boss Lu knocked on the door last night, Yuqing's expression has been in a very strange state.

It's like eating a mouth full of sand by mistake, unable to swallow, but unable to spit it out.

Just last night, Yuqing finally realized a big "secret" for the first time.

It turned out that the prince and Mr. Zhen had "that kind of" relationship...

No wonder the prince's behavior is abnormal every time Mr. Zhen is involved...

No wonder the old boy would look at him with "Are you stupid" every time he wondered why the prince always loved being with Mr. Zhen...

For the first time in his life, he even witnessed the prince's fighting spirit for Mr. Zhen and that surnamed Lu, and almost thought he had seen a fake prince.

But why there are so many colleagues, but he seems to be the only one who just discovered the "truth"?Could it be that he is really stupid...? !

The brothers who guarded the gate together last night had an unusually calm expression from the beginning to the end, as if they had been familiar with it for a long time.

But he had never seen him once before, avoiding every delicate moment when the prince caught, hugged, hugged or held down Mr. Zhen on various occasions, it was perfect.

Yuqing felt... she had been hit a little bit.

It's not because of the relationship between the prince and Mr. Zhen.

Who the prince loves is the prince's business, what right does he have to control.Besides, there is nothing wrong with Young Master Zhen.The princes and nobles have played much more lawlessly.For so many years, the prince of their family has only loved the lovers who knew each other when they were young. Their love is pure and rare. Compared with those who raise Yingyan extravagantly and messily, they are simply saints.

Unlike Tongqian, Yuqing doesn't have so many secular rules in her mind, let alone being obsessed with etiquette.What he cared about was that he was so slow-witted.

Logically speaking, it is impossible.

As a guard, he is the most trusted person by the prince's side. He should know every move of the prince, even a glance, better than others.

Unless the prince intends to avoid him.

Thinking about the news that Mr. Zhen fell into the hands of the Tatars at the beginning, he was the one who found the news. After the report, the prince immediately replaced him, and took the old boy to the northern border, and let him stay in Suzhou to guard the Fourth Highness.

Later when Mr. Zhen came back, he also dispatched Tong Qian more than him, and always dispatched him to follow the Fourth Highness, or do other things.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were old and young children in front of Tong, it might not be his turn for Yuqing to follow the prince.

I didn't think deeply about it before, so I didn't notice it, but thinking about it now, it really makes Yuqing anxious.

Why does the prince avoid him alone?

Could it be that he did something wrong to make the prince not trust him?

Yuqing really wanted to ask His Highness Prince Jing, but she didn't know where to start.

Recently, he also felt vaguely that the prince seemed to have some thoughts about him, but the prince had always treated him very well, even if he got into trouble, he would protect him and rarely criticize him.How can he question whether the prince is alienating him?That would be a disappointment to the friendship that the prince has treated him for many years, and it is even a crime.

But if he doesn't ask, and he can't figure it out, what should he do...?

Yuqing followed Jiafei closely, her mood was complicated as if she was about to go to the execution ground.

How could Jiafei not see his look like a light on his back.

But what His Highness Prince Jing had in mind was much simpler.

Of course he didn't disbelieve Yuqing.

Although compared to Tong Qian, Yuqing is a little younger and immature, but after all, she has been with him for seven years.

Yuqing is also a person with the heart of a child, and Jiafei has always seen this clearly.

With Tong Qian's keen mind, one day, he may be able to leave the house as a general, but Yuqing is just the opposite, and it is best to stay with her.

But Yuqing still needs experience and encouragement.

Jiafei didn't think it was a bad thing to occasionally make the kid nervous.

On the contrary, this kind of tension will make him more focused, like a loyal hunting dog, no longer so easily attracted by other voices, but always alert to the owner's orders.

Especially to recognize who is the master.

Before entering the main hall, Jiafei stood down and took a look at Yuqing.

"Yuqing, if you have anything to ask, I promise you to ask it now. No matter what you ask, I will answer you honestly. But after this time, I don't want you to be shaken. Otherwise, you will leave Prince Jing's mansion, and I will give you an honest answer." I will find another place for you."

His Highness Prince Jing didn't even move his eyelids, and his voice was as flat as stating the facts.

Yuqing stared at him blankly for a moment, then immediately bowed down.

"The subordinate's life belongs to the prince, and the prince's decision has nothing to ask. The subordinate just wants to beg the prince...don't drive the subordinate away. The subordinate is willing to smash his body to pieces for the prince—"

"You don't need to say these, I know it in my heart."

Jiafei interrupted him, and didn't reach out to help him up, but just lowered his head slightly and looked down at the top of his head.

"You and Tong Qian are both my confidantes. I entrust my life to you, so I naturally trust you. Therefore, I hope you can understand that, to me, there are people in this world who are more important than my life."

Yu Qing's shoulders trembled slightly when she heard the words, and she was enlightened in an instant.

There are some things that the prince cannot speak to him too bluntly.But he was so slow that he couldn't comprehend it until now, which made the prince have to say such words to him.

No wonder the old boy always disliked him.

No wonder even the prince has started to dislike him recently.

He really is a fool.

"This subordinate understands that this subordinate will treat Mr. Zhen as their master and will protect him to the death. As long as I have a breath, I will never let Mr. Zhen lose anything."

Yuqing didn't even dare to raise her head immediately, she hurriedly gritted her teeth and clasped her fists, while secretly raising her eyes to see the reaction of His Highness Prince Jing.

"You remember what you said today."

Hearing Wang Ye Shen Shen say this to him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the cold sweat was falling all over his body at this moment, so he quickly got up and followed the Wang Ye, and walked forward quickly.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw Lu Lan already waiting in the hall.He was the only one there, and Gu Sanniang, Zhang Er and other people in the village were not there. Presumably, he had made arrangements and asked them to avoid him in advance.

This person looked as if he had expected it a long time ago, obviously he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Jiafei and Yuqing coming in, he squinted at them and smiled.

That smile is so annoying, it is clearly intended to be intimidating.

A burst of disgust suddenly surged in his chest, and he seemed to see that boss Lu with his first-class acting skills and cold eyes in Ji Garden that day.

It's just that today, this mockery is all aimed at himself.

Jiafei suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and asked, "Has Boss Lu settled everything?"

"My lord slept soundly last night? Why didn't you see me, Brother Xiuwen?"

Obviously it was almost winter, but Lu Lan was still waving her lupine leisurely, with smiles on her brows and eyes.

Asking is knowingly asking, sincere teasing and teasing, no one really cares.

But Jiafei was no longer willing to pick on him anymore, and just looked at him indifferently.

Lu Lan couldn't respond, and felt that he was bored, so he finally restrained his smirk a little, and sighed, "It's good, it's good, if the prince doesn't agree, it's nothing."

Jiafei frowned and said coldly, "Boss Lu should be clear about what can be done and what can't be done."

His attitude is very firm, and there is no room for bargaining.Lu Lan stared at him for a moment, showing a sad face.

"Since that's the case, as long as the prince can decide to avenge Sanniang and all the brothers in the village, they will be willing to drive for the prince, and Lu Lan can take nothing."

But there is no real "no money" business in this world.

"Then what do you want, Boss Lu?" His Highness Prince Jing immediately asked.

Lu Lan met his gaze and was silent for a moment, "I only have one condition. I want Zhen Xian—"

"It can't be done." Jia Fei refused.

Lu Lan chuckled, "Don't worry, my lord, it won't be too late to get annoyed after listening to Lu."

He paused for a while, making sure Jiafei was still listening, then stretched out a finger, "A glass of wine. I just want him to drink with me. This is what he owes me. Isn't it too much?"

Jiafei's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression was still displeased, "He doesn't owe you anything. You can't blame him for what happened to you today."

"Naturally, there is an injustice and a debtor. Lu will not wrong a good person."

Lu Lan looked relaxed and comfortable, using a feather fan to brush a little dust on the sleeves of his robe, and his smile deepened.

"But my lord, have you ever thought about it? Just because he is a good man, I don't blame him, and he always owes me in his heart. If the lord doesn't let him drink this glass of wine, he will always miss me and miss me. Me, I think of me every once in a while, and every time I think of it, I feel depressed. As time goes on, time will wash away the dirt on my body. Although there are not many things that can stay in my heart, they are all beautiful relatives, and I have infinite regrets. Feeling sad... Even if you can bear it, my lord, can you bear it?"

He also looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jing with an anxious look on his face.

Jiafei's heart was suddenly congested.

But he couldn't deny it.

Lu Lan didn't miss a single word.

He really should allow Xiaoxian to make a break with Lu Lan.

It turned out that the surname Lu meant that.

But this person, obviously with good intentions, wants to put on a bad look to make people hate him, it's really... so why bother.

Jiafei suddenly felt inexplicably sad.

"Xiao Xian is still injured, so it is not suitable for drinking, why not write it down first."

His voice could not help but soften, and his frown gradually spread. Although he no longer looked at Lu Lan with repulsive eyes, he still refused to let go.

Lu Lan looked at him with a smile, pretending to be thinking.

"That makes sense." He picked up the wine cup in front of him, shook it twice, filled a bowl, and handed it to Jiafei, "No, the prince will drink it for you?"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Qing who was beside him was almost in a hurry.

Even though His Royal Highness Prince Jing didn't take this air, from Yuqing's standpoint, she felt that her prince was a man of gold, how could she casually drink this kind of wine of unknown origin.

Besides, it was Lu Lan's wine.This man surnamed Lu is crazy in his speech and actions, and he has no routine. Who knows if he has poisoned him.

Yuqing immediately took a step forward, reaching out to stop her.

But he heard a whisper.

"I'll drink this bowl of wine."

Yu Qing was startled for a moment, then turned her head to see Zhen Xian walking in from the door flicking her sleeves.

Mr. Zhen has a slender figure, handsome eyebrows and eyes, a humble and warm disposition, neither high nor low voice, clearly a graceful and picturesque appearance.But I don't know what happened, at this moment, when Yuqing saw him walk in the door, against the white light cast by the scorching sun, she actually felt a heroic spirit like dragons soaring, clouds rising, tigers roaring and wind blowing.

It should be the appearance of an exiled immortal, which is not like what can be seen in the mortal world.

For a moment, Yuqing was so dazzled by the sight, she was stunned for a long time before she suddenly woke up, and hastily shook her head vigorously twice.

Jiafei was also taken aback.

His Royal Highness Prince Jing naturally didn't want Zhen Xian to come here at this time.Otherwise, there is no need to deliberately leave the Yedo Guards to stare.

But Xiaoxian still came.

Jia Fei raised his eyes and glanced at the string of tense faces following Zhen Xian, feeling annoyed at the moment and feeling emotional at the other.

In fact, he should have known earlier that as long as Xiaoxian himself is unwilling to stay in the house obediently, of course these people cannot stop him.

He couldn't help wanting to lock Xiaoxian up, not allowing him to go anywhere, not being seen by anyone, but how long would it last.

Xiaoxian has never been the kind of person who is content to hide behind him and wait.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he wanted to lock him up even more, lest one day he would not pay attention, and he would run to a place beyond his control and disappear.

"Xiaoxian—" Jia Fei's slightly relaxed brows furrowed again.

He turned around and grabbed Zhen Xian, not allowing him to go any further.

But Zhen Xian was extremely determined.

"Your Highness, don't stop me. I have to do what I should do."

In this situation, even if Lu Lan really gave him a bowl of poisoned wine, he must drink it.Besides, he didn't think Lu Lan would do it.

Zhen Xian resolutely pushed Jia Fei twice to break free.He took the full wine bowl from Lu Lan's hand and held it in front of him, his eyes filled with sincerity.

"Brother Lu, I'm really sorry that I failed to keep the promise I made to you. But I haven't regretted it."

Lu Lan smiled upon hearing this, but didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

That look made people even more embarrassed.

Zhen Xian could only smile wryly, his eyes were full of water.

"It doesn't matter if you blame me or understand me. You are too deep. I can't save you, and I can't save you. All I can do is try my best to prevent others from following in your footsteps. Even if I do it all over again, I can't help it." choice, and it will still be the case.”

After saying that, he took a deep breath and brought the wine bowl to his mouth.

He didn't actually hesitate.

It's just that Jiafei made a quick move.

Before Zhen Xian even had time to react to what happened, he snatched the wine bowl away.

This is grabbing, there is no time to think about it.

His Highness King Jing raised his head and gulped it down. He covered his mouth and almost spat it out. He couldn't even stand still.

"My lord!" Yuqing yelled suddenly, she couldn't care about anything, and rushed to help him.

"Your Highness!" Zhen Xian came back to his senses, also frightened out of his wits, hurriedly hugged him tightly, his eyes full of fear.

His Royal Highness Prince Jing still covered his mouth with one hand, coughed until his lungs were about to spit out, and supported the ground with one hand to stabilize his position so that he would not fall too embarrassingly. He stared at Lu Lan in disbelief, unable to say a word for a long time.

In Nuo Da's main hall, only Lu Lan finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

He pressed his stomach with a smile, leaned back and forth for a while, even tears flowed out, and finally managed to utter a few words.

"My lord, is this bowl of vinegar delicious?"

It turned out that the wine cup contained no wine at all, but burnt rice vinegar.Zhen Xian never drank too much alcohol, and he didn't care to distinguish carefully.And Jia Fei was afraid that Zhen Xian would suffer, so he rushed to grab the bowl of "wine" and didn't have time to tell.

From the very beginning, Boss Lu planned to use this bowl of vinegar to run on His Highness Prince Jing.Zhen Xian came unexpectedly.Seeing that he really wanted to drink this bowl of "wine", Lu Lan had planned to give up.Unexpectedly, Jiafei snatched it back and drank it clean in one gulp.

When he said the word "vinegar", he was out of breath from laughing again, and almost rolled on the ground without kicking.

Over there, His Royal Highness Prince Jing was suddenly bored with a bowl of vinegar, and his brows and eyes were wrinkled from the sourness, so there was still time to care whether he liked to smile or not.

Zhen Xian was stunned for a long time before he finally understood. He was dumbfounded and dizzy with anger. While he was busy looking after Jia Fei, he stared at Lu Lan in confusion.

It was too much for him to tease His Highness like this.

Zhen Xian never knew that Boss Lu's desire for revenge was so strong.

"Lu...you—" He wanted to blame Lu Lan.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't get them out, so he could only let out a deep sigh.

Lu Lan smiled contentedly, and even his eyes lit up.

"You are the cloud in the sky, and I am the mud in the ground. The difference between the cloud and the mud is ultimately a different way. You are the one who shines brightly, and I really don't deserve it. I can only do my best and wish you all your wishes come true. Pengcheng thousands of miles, come to the Rihe Qinghai feast, when the time and the year are rich, and then give wine to the king."

He looked deeply at Zhen Xian, and his voice was soft and gentle, as if filled with infinite melancholy and affection.

Zhen Xian's throat burned, and he wanted to say something to him, but he had no choice but to remain silent.

However, Lu Lan seemed to have fulfilled his wish. He bowed and saluted solemnly, and said with a smile: "Sanniang has already ordered all the troops in the school yard, and the prince will come to pick them up after the jealousy is over." Walk.

Yuqing was still jumping in anger, yelling, saying that she was going to catch Lu Lan and press her into the vinegar vat to soak until swollen.

His Royal Highness King Jing was force-fed this bowl of vinegar, so sour that he couldn't stand up for a while, and could only hold on to Zhen Xian with a black face.

Fearing that he would hurt his stomach, Zhen Xian hurriedly asked the guards to fetch water and milk, and fed him with his own hands to rinse his mouth and drink a little. Only then did he feel relieved a little, but felt sad for no reason.

The bandits who were supposed to be suppressed by the southeast frontier guards were beaten up by the same bandits who were supposed to be suppressed by them, and they beat them very fiercely. I heard that they even drove a boat to chase them out for a distance of [-] nautical miles. This group of Japanese bandits dared not dare for ten days. Show up offshore.

This style of play is completely different from the past when they met on a narrow road and killed a bunch of loot.

Xu Dahu, the commander of the Lin'an Guard, was circling around the guard in all sorts of entanglements, with his hands behind his back, clutching the latest letter sent by Tan Ma.

This Dragon and Tiger Village is a bandit village that has sprung up in recent years, a nest of desperadoes, the leader is said to be from Jinhua, who is engaged in ore trading.

Xu Dahu has heard of Jinhua's tough folk customs, especially those who open stones and mines. There are often private fights with weapons.

The same is true of the reputation of Longhuzhai. None of the officers and soldiers of Zhejiang Zhizhi wanted to provoke them.

But why did this group of robbers suddenly compete with Japanese pirates?

Xu Dahu couldn't figure it out, his face turned green with worry.

It's a good thing to just compete with Japanese pirates.

But why, he always felt that Longhuzhai was actually chasing his ass away?

He was dispatched by Hu Dutang to stop the Japanese pirates who tried to land in Lin'an area, but the imperial court's military salary was never paid on time, and the soldiers were hungry and full, and their stomachs were empty. Japanese pirates fight?

Can barely fight.If you really can't fight, run away, and just retreat to the guard post to report the military situation and ask for support.Anyway, these Japanese pirates were only planning to go ashore to burn, kill and loot, so they would not fail to attack the guard post.

Since the court doesn't take the lives of the brothers seriously, why should the brothers die in vain for the court?

Xu Dahu always fought like this.

Until more than ten days ago, the gang of bandits from Longhuzhai suddenly came out when he was about to retreat.

In fact, there are not many people, just two hundred infantry, the leader is a small man, wearing a very ferocious bronze mask, and he came to kill him with a battle roar, armed with firecrackers and bayonets, cutting melons and vegetables all the way up Chong, don't die at all, kill the pirates when you see them, if you can't kill them, they will all be thrown into the water.

The Japanese pirates were also very skilled. Seeing that the opponent was strong, they hid back on the boat and attacked with firearms in the offshore.

Unexpectedly, the gang of bandits in Longhuzhai also had warships, and there were magic machine cannons on board, and after they had driven all the Japanese pirates aboard, they fired at them with full force.

The Japanese pirates are used to the weak resistance of the southeast border guards, who would not expect to encounter such a counterattack of pressing down and beating to death, let alone being blasted from behind, fleeing as fast as they can. .

At first even Xu Dahu was frightened, he didn't know what was going on at all, after he realized that these bandits were here to kill the Japanese pirates, he was quite happy to see the result, so he led his troops to wait and see.

Unexpectedly, after the bandit army drove all the Japanese pirates away, they turned around and rushed towards him.

On the first day, Xu Dahu was frightened back to the guard.

Obviously the other party only has 200 people, I really don't know what the hell they are afraid of, but they are so afraid.

Those bandit soldiers drove him all the way back to the guard post, without doing anything else, they threw the supplies they took back from the Japanese pirates in front of the gate, and retreated three houses to stare at them.

The soldiers had been unable to eat a full meal for a long time, and they had long since lost their attention. When they saw the situation, they rushed out, snatched all the food and supplies back to the camp, and went straight to the pot.

Seeing this kind of battle for the first time, Xu Dahu saw it, his heart was bleeding, he was ashamed and angry, he felt that his general was a worthless man, and he still needed to be helped by bandits, wishing he could draw his sword and kill himself.He had just pulled out the sword, and when he smelled the aroma of rice and meat wafting from the pot, he couldn't bear it, so he threw his bones away and went to eat with the big guys.

Even if you die, it's better to be a hungry ghost than a hungry ghost.

However, it was the same for three consecutive battles, Xu Dahu felt as if he had grown hair in his heart.

These gangsters suddenly stopped going to take their own ore, what did they come here to chase him?

Especially the Japanese pirates have been beaten away for the time being, why don't they leave?Why do you still hang around his guard every day like this?

Is it just to come to Japan to do a good deed and give them food? !

Xu Dahu thought left and right, really couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help it, finally when the people from Longhuzhai came to throw grain and grass again, he led a few people out and shouted: "What the hell are you trying to do?"

The little man with a grimace over there couldn't see his expression at all, and he also yelled at him: "Our prince invites General Xu to discuss something important."

"My lord? What lord?" Xu Dahu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't feel sorry for it at all.

The person on the other side didn't seem to understand much better than him. He couldn't explain it, and he didn't bother to explain it, so he snorted impatiently: "The prince is the prince, what's the matter. You have eaten my rice for more than ten days, how dare you?" Afraid to go with me?"

It seemed that he knew that all the military horses in the guard had been killed and there were only a few horses left, so the man specially brought a good horse here.

Suddenly Xu Dahu blushed with embarrassment.

That's right, I've eaten the food sent by them for more than ten days, and I don't even know who they want and what they want... I think he is a dignified fourth-rank military general, and he is also a soldier who commands a guard, why is he so stupid? dying for food...

So Xu Dahu broke his heart, turned around and explained to the adjutant, jumped on his horse and followed the grimacing little man.

On the way, he gradually came to his senses.

The "Prince" that this guy is talking about... Could it be His Highness Prince Jing who came from Beijing? !

How is that possible!It was too much of a joke.

Although Xu Dahu dared to guess, he couldn't believe it.

There was no news of His Royal Highness Jing's entry into Nanjing City at all, and the officials dared not announce it. After searching for a few days to find the whereabouts of the Prince, they began to publicize that His Highness had arrived at the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Nanjing City to sit in charge.

Therefore, none of the frontline soldiers knew the whereabouts of His Royal Highness Prince Jing.

Of course Xu Dahu had heard of Wang Jiabei's great reputation as the king of Tatars.

But if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's always hard to believe, and even more dissatisfied.

Historically, soldiers on the frontline fought bloody battles, but those who received credit and rewards were mostly officials hiding behind.

Not to mention the son of His Majesty the Emperor.

Xu Dahu really didn't believe that a prince who was born in honor and favor and grew up in Anle could make such great military exploits himself.

Even less believed that His Highness Prince Jing would come to the southeast front in person.

My lord, I must sit in the city of Nanjing and dictate, otherwise I will open the Governor's Mansion.

Xu Dahu has never seen a second general like Hu Dutang who personally went to the front to supervise the battle.

I can only hate those civil servants who are full of filth and not doing business. Otherwise, they would have beaten those bastard Japanese pirates back to grandma's house...

Thinking about it, Xu Dahu felt upset again, and even his face became a little fierce.

Over there, Jiafei and Zhen Xian were waiting at Longhuzhai. They saw that Gu Sanniang had returned as expected, followed by a big man with fierce eyes. He was wearing the armor of a fourth-rank general. Xu Dahu, the commander.

"You look so fierce, how can you know how to run when you start a war?"

Yuqing glanced around from the side of the prince, and couldn't help being speechless.

"You have been hungry for a year and a half, and you are still driving you to charge the battle. If it's you, you run too." His Highness Prince Jing raised his foot and kicked the boy's ass angrily.

Zhen Xian smiled and watched silently.

Yuqing felt extremely embarrassed, and while rubbing her buttocks, she muttered, "It took me so much food and meat to bring back such a big fish, how could I dare to compare with him. It took more than ten days to eat it. Thinking about it, I want to see who gave the meal?"

Yuqing has probably never been hungry.That's why I can honestly say such things.

Zhen Xian couldn't help feeling a little bit sentimental.

"Under the famine, a grain of rice can stump a hero. The feeling is indescribable. General Xu has already had a hard time, so it's better not to embarrass him too much."

Whether His Highness's plan can be realized, Xu Dahu and Lin Anwei are the crucial link.Success or failure, this is really not the time to criticize the details.

He comforted Yuqing, but his eyes subconsciously looked at Lu Lan who was beside him.

Lu Lan finally threw down his feather fan, but instead played with two walnuts in his hands. Seeing Zhen Xian looking at him, he smiled innocently.

"I'm not messing around. Really. I'll just stay here and watch you, and do nothing else."

Then the next moment, he smiled and shouted "See you, General Xu" to meet Xu Dahu.

Xu Dahu's expression was as if he saw a ghost.

Since Lu Lan has been operating in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, no one in Zhejiang Province knows Boss Lu, from the officials of the third department to the county magistrates.

Xu Dahu is no exception.

But in the eyes of everyone, Lu Lan is already a dead person.

That day when the Ji Garden was in full swing, the murderous aura from Jin Yiwei with his saber had not yet dissipated.

But this person reappeared alive in front of his eyes, and came forward to greet him with a smile, holding him and exchanging greetings.

Xu Dahu immediately yelled and pulled out the saber from his waist.

It took him a while to gradually understand.

Lu Lan did not die, but went to vote in Longhuzhai.And he naturally didn't see ghosts in daylight, what he saw was the real Lu Lan himself.

Xu Dahu is a soldier, and Lu Lan is a businessman. Although the two have met several times, they can't talk about friendship, and they don't recognize each other.Even when he heard that the emperor issued an order to kill Lu Lan and confiscated all of Lu Lan's family property and put it into the treasury, Xu Dahu was the one who applauded, mistakenly thinking that killing a big family would save two months of military resources.

Now seeing that Lu Lan is still alive, even though he has become a bandit, he has made a living for them to expel the Japanese bandits, and even sent them food every day...

Xu Dahu felt as if he had been slapped loudly on the face, it was so hot and painful.

Lu Lan was very happy. After scaring everyone, he greeted him happily and led him to His Highness Prince Jing himself.

"Come on, General Xu, let me introduce you, this one... You have seen the prince yourself."

Xu Dahu seemed to be hit hard repeatedly, five thunders struck him.

"Old Lu...Are you serious? Your lord? Here?"

The young man in front of him is extraordinarily heroic and imposing, and he can tell from a glance that he has a lot to offer.

But if it is really His Royal Highness King Jing... Even if the prince and prince from the middle of the capital did not enjoy the blessings in Nanjing, how could he condescend to come to such a bandit village to kill Japanese pirates for fun?

Xu Dahu stared, pulled Lu Lan for a long time, and said with a frown, "Don't fool me, you will be killed if you talk about such nonsense!"

Lu Lan glanced at him with a look of disgust, and was too lazy to waste his time talking, so he took a step back and made a gesture for His Royal Highness Prince Jing to talk to him.

Jiafei also looked at Lu Lan with almost disgust, and when he turned to look at Xu Dahu, his eyes were sharp for a moment.

"Xu Dahu, the commander of the Lin'an Guard, you resisted the enemy passively, allowed the Japanese pirates to burn, kill and loot within the borders of the country, until the common people were devastated, can you be convicted?"

Xu Dahu was dumbfounded, and with his hips on his hips, he put on a face of "I have to believe you if you say you are a prince".

Until Yuqing brought His Royal Highness King Jing's golden book to him.

Xu Dahu blinked several times fiercely, and the cold sweat broke out "shua", and he almost fell to the ground with a sprained foot.

"The final general... greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing... the final general is convicted, but the final general refuses to accept."

He hastily bowed his head and bowed his military salute. There was a moment of panic in his voice, but more grievances.

"My lord, since you came here in person and saw everything, you should know—"

He defended vigorously.

Jia Fei interrupted him.

"You are a soldier. After losing a battle, what excuse can you find? Hu Dutang has the king's command flag to kill you, and I also have my father's imperial edict. I can kill you directly to show the power of the army."

Xu Dahu was at a loss for words.

That's right... Of course he also knows that he is a soldier, and his existence is meaningless if he can't win a battle.But isn't this a battle they don't want to win?

He was very aggrieved in his heart, so he simply got angry, spread his hands and feet and knelt on the ground, and said in anger: "...then the prince will kill me."
