I was a prince in ancient times

After the two had cleared up their emotions, they saw Lu Chuyi who was standing by and crying.

Xie Anlan, "..."

Lu Chengjie, "..."

"But what happened?" Xie Anlan raised her eyebrows, this child usually smiles at everyone, but crying like this today, it must be because something happened.

Lu Chuyi sobbed and shook his head, "No...no...it's just that the eyes are covered with snow, and it hurts."

Xie Anlan looked suspiciously at the snowflakes floating in the sky, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Chengjie handed a handkerchief to Lu Chuyi, and after he wiped off the tears on his face, he slowly told, "My lord, young master, the emperor sent someone to send me a reward."

Xie Anlan joked, "Why, I was moved to tears when I was rewarded."

"No... besides rewards, there are also those who come to pass on the dictation of the sage. They are waiting in the front hall." Touched is moved, Lu Chuyi has not forgotten his purpose of coming to find someone.

Xie Anlan frowned, turned around and walked quickly to the front hall.

Before he got close, he heard a bustling sound coming from the front hall. He turned to the corridor and saw eight|nine servants carrying a large mahogany box into the front hall in pairs.

It seems that there are still many things.

As soon as the servants saw him, they stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

Xie Anlan nodded slightly and entered the front hall.

Sure enough, I saw a servant who was dressed differently from the outside carrying the box.

"Old slave Chen Gui pays homage to Prince Chen."

As soon as he saw Xie Anlan, he hurriedly smiled and greeted him.

After Xie Anlan saw his face clearly, she was taken aback for a moment. This person was really weird. He had white hair all over his head, but his face looked like he was only in his 30s.

I don't know whether it is well maintained or premature aging.

"Excuse me." Xie Anlan raised her hand, and asked softly, "I wonder if the emperor has something for Mr. Chen to convey?"

Although she knew that the servant in front of her was an eunuch, Xie Anlan couldn't say the word "father-in-law" no matter what, and felt a little insulting, so she changed her name.

"This old slave can't afford to be a lord. If the lord doesn't mind, just call the old slave by his name." Chen Gui's chest felt warm when he heard Xie Anlan calling him a lord instead of a father-in-law. , but the rules that should be observed are still to be observed.

"That's fine." Xie Anlan also felt that it was inappropriate to call him an adult. Calling him by his first name could not only save him embarrassment, but also address him properly.

Chen Gui smiled. On his abnormally white face, a few crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. Looking at it, he felt benevolent, but also permeating. It was indescribably weird.

Xie Anlan took a few steps away quietly.

"Your Majesty ordered that the Huo|Yao Battalion be led by General Huo Sen to support Weiyuan Hou in three days, and the prince will supervise the army."

"Cough, cough, cough—"

As soon as Chen Gui finished speaking, Xie Anlan choked on the tea she had drunk.

What a joke, let him, who can't fight a battle, go to supervise the army, he can't think about it, or the emperor can't think about it.

Seeing that Xie Anlan was coughing badly, Chen Gui quickly pressed several acupuncture points on Xie Anlan's back.

Not long after, Xie Anlan couldn't cough up a dry cough.

Xie Anlan, "..."

"This old slave is bold, please punish him." After curing Xie Anlan, Chen Gui not only refused to take credit, but became even more respectful.

"Forget it, forget it, you are also kind." Xie Anlan waved his hand and asked curiously, "You also know medicine?"

Chen Gui, "I learned a little in the palace, but it's not worth mentioning."

"Oh." This can explain why the person in front of him is so young but has gray hair. It turned out to be well maintained.

If you have the opportunity, you can ask for advice.

"That Chen Gui, do you know why His Majesty chose me to supervise the army?" Xie Anlan didn't shy away from it, anyway, everyone in the imperial capital knew that he was an idiot, and this servant was obviously not an ordinary person who could pass on His Majesty's orders. If you know some inside information more or less, if you ask a question, you will not suffer a loss if you can get an answer.

Chen Gui smiled and said, "Even if the prince doesn't ask, this old servant will tell the prince the reason. This is what His Majesty ordered."

Selecting Xie Anlan to supervise the army, Xie Cangming also made careful consideration.

One is that this gunpowder was developed by Xie Anlan, and it would be more suitable for him to lead the army than anyone else.

Second, Xie Cangming was afraid that Huo Sen would not be able to suppress Weiyuanhou, so that the Huo|Yao camp would fall into Weiyuanhou's hands.

In the past few years, Weiyuan Hou has already become the dominant family, but if he mastered the gun|powder, it would be a master of great achievements.

Xie Cangming has long wanted to find an opportunity to support someone to fight Wei Yuanhou, but he has been suffering from no chance.

The appearance of gun|powder just gave him an opportunity, but Huo Sen is still far behind Fu Zheng, so he must find someone who can hold Fu Zheng down.

And the identity of Prince Xie Anlan couldn't be more suitable. In addition, Xie Anlan has the princess Lu Chengjiao beside her. The Lu family soldiers back then had to buy Xie Anlan's face no matter what they said, which invisibly suppressed Fu Zheng. One end.

Unless Fu Zheng wanted to rebel, he had to look at the Buddha's face even if he didn't look at the monk's face!

"Can't you co-author other than me?" Xie Anlan choked speechlessly. He managed to make gunpowder to save his life, but now he sent him to the most dangerous battlefield. He worked a lot to let himself carry it. Catching fire|Pharmaceuticals for war?

Chen Gui saw what Xie Anlan was thinking, and immediately said, "My lord, don't worry, this old slave will advance and retreat with you."

"Why, you want to go to the battlefield?" Xie Anlan raised his eyelids, weakly, "What can you do if you go?"

Chen Gui pursed his lips and smiled slightly, but said nothing more.

The sudden news made Xie Anlan lose interest in counting the gold, silver and jewelry brought in by the servants.

Turning around and leaving the front hall, went to the backyard to discuss countermeasures with Lu Chengjie.

Only now did Xie Anlan realize that Lu Chengjiao was really a treasure.

Always help him in every way.

Whether it is money.Or business, even going to supervise the army this time can also help.

Based on his family background, in modern times, he is a proper son of a high-ranking military family, and he is not the kind of idle boy, maybe he is a serious trainer.

If he doesn't care about men and women in modern times, he can burn incense if he can marry and return home.

When Lu Chengjie heard that Xie Anlan was going to supervise the army, he was also obviously startled, but he reacted quickly.

This should be His Majesty's way of weighing.

He should have thought of it earlier, but he didn't expect His Majesty to choose Chen Wang.

But when he thought of his own life experience, in an instant, he completely understood.

"On the first day of the junior high school, you go out of the house to inquire about the news." After Lu Chengjiao figured it out, he reacted instantly, and ordered Lu Chuyi who was beside him.

Lu Chuyi took the order to retreat.

Xie Anlan saw that Lu Chengjia had a charter in his heart, so he was not in a hurry, and sat quietly under the plum tree to drink tea with Lu Chengjia.

The two waited for almost an hour before Lu Chuyi came back to reply, "Young master, I just heard that His Majesty went to the barracks to recruit [-] elite soldiers today. If there is no mistake, this should be the guard for the prince."

"Understood." Lu Chengjiao nodded.

Xie Anlan spread her hands, and naturally leaned back to the chair behind, looking extremely helpless, "It seems that I have to go this time."

Lu Chengjiao looked at Xie Anlan's side face buried in the shadows for a while, his eyes sank, as if he had made some important decision, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will go with you."

"No, no, I'll go by myself. Besides, Brother Huang has sent me a servant to accompany me, so I don't need to bother you." Xie Anlan waved his hand and refused.

Then he took off the plum petals that were blown to his cheeks by the wind, sat up straight again, approached Lu Chengjiao, and said cheekily, "If you really want to help, why don't you tell me about the supervisor What needs to be done on weekdays, and what are the precautions for marching and fighting."

Xie Anlan had never committed a crime in his two lifetimes except for a group fight of 30 to [-] people at school. Suddenly, he was forced to go to war and was inevitably a little nervous, and he always wanted to be fully prepared.

Lu Chengjiao said, "Your Highness, it's actually not difficult to supervise the army. You only need to be responsible for daily supervision on weekdays. If the battle is urgent and even General Huo can't command it, it's up to Your Highness."

Xie Anlan understood, to put it bluntly, it was nothing to do with him, unless he was about to lose the battle, let him decide whether to escape or defend.

"As for the precautions for marching..." The words of precautions sounded strange to Lu Chengke, but somehow he felt that they were very concise and clear.

I recalled it in my mind, and told the truth what I needed to prepare before going out at home.

In addition, in these years, he often went to the Northwest to do business, so he knew the climate and environment there, and he also mentioned the places that needed attention.

Fearing that Xie Anlan would not be able to remember, he even wrote a list.

The two were discussing back and forth, and the sky darkened before they knew it.

Lu Chuyi originally didn't want to disturb the two of them, but he couldn't control his excitement, so he rushed in with a letter.

"Master, Uncle Zhong and the others wrote back to us, saying that they will arrive in the capital in a few days to congratulate the young master on their wedding."

"Uncle Zhong and the others are back?" Lu Chengjiao's eyes showed surprise, he stood up from the stool, his slender fingers plucked the brown envelope, opened it in twos and twos, read the contents of the letter at a glance and two lines, with a smile on his face. I can't hide my joy.

Seeing this, Xie An was very curious about what kind of person moved Lu Chengjiao, who had always been calm.

"Who, one or two are so happy." Xie Anlan thought in her heart, and asked the same question.

Hearing Xie Anlan's voice, Lu Chengjie recovered from his joy, and said to Xie Anlan unabashedly, "Your Highness, the elders of the family will arrive in the capital in a few days, I... Come out of a courtyard for them to stay in, but... is it okay?"

"Yes." Xie Anlan's heart skipped a beat when he saw Shanglu Chengji's hopeful eyes and his cute tone of pleading, he found that he couldn't refuse at all!
