The Southwest Army's offensive was effective, and the battle report was sent to Qingdu along with the first batch of gold scoured. Today, I am very satisfied. I lightly mentioned the matter of Lu's massacre of civilians and insulting the royal family of Nanxu, and reprimanded him with a few words. give up.

Tian Zong saw that the holy intention was so, although it was annoying, he didn't want to say much, and ordered the deceased Nanxu royal family to be buried according to the traditional Nanxu etiquette.The whereabouts of the Nanxu King's Lord was unknown, and he couldn't be found for a long time. Tian Zong gradually didn't take it seriously. After the Nanxu Palace was renovated, he moved into the side hall of the former King's bedroom.

Because he was taught a lesson by Ning Xingye last time, Lu Xiuluan didn't dare to do anything wrong, and carefully tried not to meet Tian Zong. He only led the Southwest Army to restore order in the South Ruins, recruit remnant soldiers and prisoners, and settle the people's livelihood. Tian Zong was very dissatisfied with the people's complaints; but the emperor's order was clear, only Tian Zong was allowed to supervise the gold harvest, and he was on the ground of the Southwest Army, with no power or soldiers in his hands, so he had to turn a blind eye to Lu's actions, feeling depressed. Annoyed and helpless.

One night when he came back from the city, he hurried past the flower hall, and saw a figure standing by the wall in the distance, as if he was staring at the palace in a trance.As he got closer, the figure heard his footsteps and hurriedly dodged in the dark.

Before Tian Zong opened his mouth, Ning Xingye could see clearly, and asked, "Who is sneaking around here?! Why are you so rude when you see His Highness?"

The figure walked from the dark corner of the wall to the moonlight, but still stood upright, with its chin raised, and did not bow down.

Tian Zong took a closer look and found that it was the woman who was hiding in the copper pillar that day.Her face was pale, but her amazing beauty could not be concealed in the night; a drop of tears that could not be wiped away in the future was still hanging on her cheek, and the moonlight shone on her, crystal clear.

The beauty was tearful and the pear blossoms were raining, which was heart-stirring, but Ning Xingye didn't buy it, and asked, "Princess Nanxu, why are you here at night to disturb Your Highness?"

The woman sneered and said: "This was originally my Nanxu Kingdom's place, I went wherever I thought, why should I tell you guys?!"

Ning Xingye was not a good tempered person, he was about to explode when he heard the words.Tian Zong held him down, and said softly, "So it's Princess Qiluo. How is your arm recovering?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, Tian Zong went on to say: "It's late at night and the dew is heavy, the princess should not stand in the wind for a long time, please rest earlier. The king will not bother you any more."

After all, I really felt tired after a busy day, so I went straight to the hall.

Ning Xingye followed behind, turned to stare at Princess Qiluo, and muttered: "If it wasn't for His Highness's kindness, how could she have survived until now? Look at her arrogant and rude appearance."

Tian Zong rubbed his forehead and didn't take it seriously: "Forget it, we invaded her homeland in the first place, and it's human nature for her to hold grudges, just tell her not to embarrass her."

Ning Xingye snorted, "You were almost hurt by her, and you didn't blame her. Who dares to embarrass her? She still lives in the former Princess Palace, and is still served by the former people. She is the only one left in the Nanxu royal family. , when we go back to Qingdu, do you want to take her to Shunyi Hall?"

Whenever Da Ying invaded the territory of other countries, he would bring the original royal family back to Qingdu for resettlement. Therefore, Shunyi Hall was specially set up to arrange the lives of these captured royal families.

Tian Zong sighed: "Let's talk about it, Your Majesty wants us to stay here for a while and watch the work on that river."

Ning Xingye could see that Tian Zong was not in a good mood, so he didn't say any more, and saw Li Qiu bring people up to take care of him to wash up, and then left.

Tian Zong stared at the gold mining data reported by the river every day, and his heart became more and more depressed.Is the treasury really as empty as the rumors say?Otherwise, why did the father and elder brother attach so much importance to a gold-producing river in the remote borderlands? Could it be that they really believed the rumor that there was gold soup flowing in the river, and hoped to make up for the deficit of the national treasury from here?

While he was depressed, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced that he was not the eldest son of the royal family. Although he was mediocre, the burden of the hundreds of years of foundation was not on his shoulders.

Perhaps the big scandal has been going on for too long, and Ji's blood has become accustomed to power. In addition, since childhood, he has been taught differently from his elder brother. Tian Zong has lost his desire for power, except that when he was young, he was envious of others in the battlefield. Apart from the heroic deeds of killing the enemy and rushing to the head, he has always been laissez-faire; even at that time, he recklessly went to the western border to suppress bandits, but he almost lost his life and returned home.

Since then, he has realized that his abilities are limited, and he no longer struggles, and honestly lives the life that the emperor's second son and prince's younger brother should have lived in the past: poetry and wine are romantic, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all first-class, Yewu has a majestic and beautiful sword, but he has nothing to do with power and tactics.

As the second son of the royal family, the above are the qualifications of Tianzong: he is not deeply involved in the world, and his relationship with the high-ranking families in Qingdu City is not far or close, neither painful nor itchy. Discuss matters with his father and brother openly; taste elegant, make friends widely, often hear some anecdotes, and often collect some new gadgets to present treasures to the palace, attracting father and brother, so that they can get along intimately.

Although it is not his turn to inherit the Daying foundation, it is still his ancestral inheritance. Although he has no ambitions, he must be very dedicated, so he is deeply trusted by his father and brother.Ordinarily, the conquest of Xiaoxiaonan Ruins this time was effortless for Da Ying, and he did not need to work. He, a valuable prince, came here to supervise the battle in person, but the emperor sent him to the edge of the southern border, in fact, he wanted him to monitor the legendary Flowing the river of gold and supervising the amount of gold produced on the river is also out of trust in him, his own family.

The prince's talent from heaven is far superior to him, and he will surely bring blessings to Da Ying.In fact, although Tian Zong is not good at strategy, he can see clearly: the Daying Dynasty has continued for hundreds of years, from the time when it was full of vigor, to now it is like an old man, with many problems and disadvantages piled up and hard to recover.

Every time Tianci talked to him about this, he always frowned; he understood the troubles and pressures of his elder brother as the crown prince, but because of his limited ability, he couldn't tell the tricks, so he could only express every time that he would try his best to help in the future, Tianci He smiled reassuringly and patted him on the shoulder.

****

The scenery of Nanxu Country is very different from that of Daying, with plenty of sunshine, lush flowers and trees, strong men, and enchanting women; but it is far inferior to Qingdu's rich and natural treasures, exquisite and elegant. The prince is a school, and often enjoys flowers and dances in the old palace of Nanxu, and relieves his nostalgia in the exotic atmosphere.

——Hey, Xinghe, if you are here and see me like a dude, you will frown again.

I don't know how your situation is now?With your character and strength, you will definitely have a good future in the imperial guards. In the future, you will confer your wife Yinzi, Guangzong Yaozu, and take root for your Ning family in Qingdu, where there are many noble families; It will eventually be forgotten.When you are old, sitting in the courtyard with your children and grandchildren around your knees, you will not even recall this short and silent youthful absurdity.

——That is what you deserve, and what I hope you can have, a complete life.

Going on like this, Tian Zong's boredom accumulated day by day, but he couldn't find any outlet to vent it.

But this exit found itself.

That day, he returned to the sleeping hall slightly drunk, walked back to the other couch after taking a bath, and saw Princess Qiluo from the South Market kneeling impressively under the lamp.

Tian Zong was startled, and immediately sobered up from the drunkenness: Why did this woman appear here without a sound?Then he was slightly annoyed, his group of guards were so careless, he closed his eyes and fell asleep in the bathtub just now, if this woman took the opportunity to kill, I'm afraid the consequences would be unpredictable.

But he immediately discovered that Qi Luo did not carry the murder weapon.

Because she had stood up, slowly took off the thin robe on her body, loosened her black hair like a waterfall, and stood on the ground with bare feet.

Originally, she was only wearing a robe, with not a single thread under the robe.

Tian Zong didn't move, and looked at her in place.This princess Qiluo has a well-proportioned figure, with undulating curves, and is extremely attractive; her skin is not the white that is admired by beauties, but soft and slightly honey-colored, with an exotic taste.Da Ying is rich all over the world, and Tian Zong, as a prince, has never been used to seeing beauties like clouds, but this sentiment is new to him.

But fresh is fresh.Tian Zong gathered his bathrobe, and his voice was still gentle and coercive as usual: "I don't know if the princess came here late at night, what do you want to ask for?"

Qi Luo didn't expect Tian Zong to be so calm, and she was a little flustered, and knelt on the carpet again naked/naked: "Qi Luo has seen His Highness benevolent, kind and heroic these days, and never kills innocent people indiscriminately, so she admires and wants to get close to His Highness. "

Tian Zong was lazily sitting on the side of the couch, exposed to too much sun during the day, he was already a little sleepy at the end of the day, and he didn't have the patience to flirt with the princess.Looking at her graceful curves trembling with her nervous breathing under the shadow of the lamp, she was not interested, and only waved her hand to make her retreat: "I don't know how the princess got in, and I'm not interested in knowing. , you go back the same way.”

But the woman came over timidly, and obediently crawled to the side of the wide couch to lie down.She clenched her hands tightly, her chest rose and fell, she couldn't hide her fear, but she insisted on putting on an emotional expression, it seemed that she was unwilling to return without success.

Tian Zong looked at the jade body in front of him, and his eyes wandered casually, but fell on her long hair scattered all over the bed.This long hair is soft and shiny, with a cool luster under the lamp, very much like that person's hair.

Tian Zong couldn't help but stretched out his hand to smooth this beautiful hair, and sighed softly: "Don't be afraid. Da Ying's conquest was very inhumane to the royal family of Nanxu. Although it was not ordered by this king, as the commander-in-chief, this king cannot deny it." Yu, since you insisted on coming here, let me make it up to you. You can rest here tonight, so that when you return to Qingdu with me in the future, you can have the title of Prince Lin's side concubine, which is enough for you to live and work. Come to ask me about the matter, as long as it is not too much, the king will agree."

Her lips were already plump and moist, but she bit them with her white teeth because of emotional tension, like a plump cherry, attractive to pick.Tian Zong was not calm anymore when he was drunk, but he could still clearly see the deep hatred hidden in her eyes.
