After refusing to marry the prince, the general regretted it too much

Out of the line of sight of the crown prince and Duke Ding, Ning Xun gritted his teeth and limped out step by step.

The man in black had two wounds, one on his calf and the other on his right arm. Although they weren't three-pointed, they were not too serious. Because they hadn't been bandaged, they were still bleeding.

Although his martial arts are not low, he is not someone who has been honed in the army for a long time. He has never suffered much since he was a child. He didn't feel anything during the fierce confrontation just now. When the cold wind blew, he felt a bit unforgettable.

This is the place where the crown prince went hunting, not the territory of the king of Jin. Of course Ning Xun didn't have a special tent.

Fortunately, the Tai Hospital set up a medical hut for fear that the nobles who participated in the safari would be injured and no one would heal them. Only then could he find a place to bandage and rest.

People from the East Palace were all around, and the prince didn't know whether he was really assassinated or was disrupted by Duke Ding, so he stopped in time. Ning Xun didn't dare to show it at all, but thanked the imperial doctor who bandaged him, and leaned on the sick man alone. Suffering from rest, Xiao Teng adjusted his breath silently.

Only halfway through the breath adjustment, the curtains rattled, and the familiar footsteps approached from far to near. Ning Xun managed to wipe away the obvious pain on his face, and opened his eyes slightly.

It was he who brought the personal servant of the palace from the mansion, and the panic on his face turned into joy the moment he saw him.

"Young master! Why are you here? His Royal Highness King Jin is looking for you all over the mountain. Tell me to inform His Highness as soon as I see you!" News you don't want to hear.

A few drops of sweat that appeared on Ning Xun's forehead due to the pain of the wound immediately dripped down.

He has already thought about it flawlessly, why Xie Ke didn't receive the post but still appeared here.

Ning Xun only knew that if Jin Wang saw his current appearance, he would go crazy on the spot!

There are many guards and palace servants around, so the Prince Jin Wang will naturally not be able to fight, but these two are really going to make a big scene, and the emperor and all the officials will mark it down severely, who else but Ning Xun?

"No, help me up and go back to our own room, let's go now!"

Ning Xun gritted his teeth and stood up, holding onto the boy's arm. There was a strong smell of medicine on his body, and he felt a little pale in front of his eyes.

The young man realized later that his young master was injured, and after hurriedly helping him, he couldn't help but wondered: "Young master, you came out to hunt this time, why did you get injured? Since the crown prince invited you, the king of Jin If His Highness can't find you, I'm afraid he may not be willing to let it go..."

Ning Xun knew this very well in his heart, he closed his eyes when he heard the words, and said: "You send someone back to report to His Highness."

"Let's just say... let's just say that I lost money in hunting with others, and sold his whereabouts to the third lady of the Shangshu family of the household department when I had no money. Now I am ashamed. He doesn't have to waste his time."

"If Your Highness is afraid of being entangled by others, it's best to be quiet and avoid running outside."

The third lady of the Hubu Shangshu family has been in love with King Jin for a long time, and everyone in the city knows it.

Since ancient times, it has never been heard that the Minister of the Household Department was from a poor family. If he really wanted to sell the whereabouts of King Jin, the third lady would give it no matter how much money he had.

But... How is this different from directly telling King Jin, 'I sold you, and at a good price'?

Fortunately, my son still said calmly that he was ashamed and shameless to see King Jin.

The boy was dumbfounded, for a long time he couldn't even answer a sentence, he just helped his young master to go out.

-

Prince camp.

After Qin Ye entered the tent, the crown prince was not in a hurry to drink tea with him, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to change clothes alone", then turned and went to the inner room.

Qin Ye was not in a hurry, after asking the little eunuch who was serving him, he also turned around and went to the tent next door to "change clothes".

Unaccustomed to dismissing the accompanying eunuch, Qin Ye looked around and found a basin of clear water on the low table in the tent, which seemed to be used to wash the hands of the nobles and princes who came and went.

He took out the "rare and hard-to-get" hidden weapon from his arms, and washed it gently in clean water.

The poison needle was made of a special material, and he threw it with such inner strength, but it was not twisted or damaged, only because it passed through the body, it was stained with a lot of blood.

The time was too short, the blood hadn't dried yet, at this moment, it was soaked in warm water, and the blood stains were gone in an instant, and it was as bright as new.

Qin Ye exhaled lightly, took a piece of silk, wiped it dry and put it away.

Almost as soon as he put it away, Qin Ye belatedly realized how abnormal he was.

It was nothing more than a poison needle, he didn't do it on purpose, but he was in the palace without a hidden weapon, and he threw it out when he saw the prince in distress.

Picking it up eagerly without letting the prince know, because he was afraid that the prince would mistakenly think that he had neglected his gift?

Or... afraid that the crown prince would know that he put this thing in his arms?

He has always been in the army since he was a child, and he has always been straightforward in speaking and doing things. What annoys him the most is the so-called boudoir's twists and turns. How come he has been contaminated with such an aura after only returning to Tangjing for a few months?

Qin Ye frowned and felt a bit annoyed with himself, but suddenly, he heard the movement of the tent next door——

Yun Zhou followed his master into the inner room, and was about to get used to it when he saw His Royal Highness waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to serve, then he reached into his bosom and took out something, and put it gently on the table next to him .

Yun Zhou has served the East Palace for many years, and he has some experience. He only glanced at the things on the case, and then suppressed his voice and exclaimed: "Heart-protecting mirror?"

"Your Highness, didn't you go out to chat with Mr. Ning Xun? Why are you carrying a breastplate in your arms?"

Xie Heng gave him a helpless look, didn't care about answering, and took off the fox fur and a piece of soft armor.

Yun Zhou was even more shocked.

"The golden silk soft armor newly developed by Tiangongfang can withstand the one pierced by the magic weapon? When did you bring it out, Your Highness, the slave has no idea..."

Xie Heng still didn't answer, and then took out a tube-filled object from the inside of the long sleeve.

Yun Zhou no longer knows how to speak: "Huo... an improved version of the fire gun? Recently, the Tiangong Workshop has progressed so fast. Is the master selected by His Highness from the Lushan County Prince's Mansion really good?"

This slave talked too much and asked too many questions, Xie Heng couldn't explain clearly for a while, so he simply didn't answer, he just ordered: "Take these things back to the inner bedroom of Ren Mingdian, and put them in the small box next to the solitary bed. through someone else's hands."

Yun Zhou responded and went out, Xie Heng changed another clothes in the inner room to relieve his mood, and then walked out slowly.

Qin Ye's movements were sharper than his, and he sat back upright at this time.

I don't know if it was Xie Heng's illusion. He felt that Qin Ye in front of him was trying to maintain a serious and serious appearance, but it seemed to be broken by something. They all seemed a little awkward.

Xie Heng had something on his mind, so he didn't expect Qin Ye's hearing to go up, and he just sat down with some doubts.

"Mr. Ding is here, is there anything going on?" Xie Heng asked.

The prince's voice was always clear and gentle, as calm and serene as a warm spring breeze, as if he was not the same person who put the mirror in his arms solemnly for him just now.

Thinking of what he was going to do, Qin Ye's heart tightened unconsciously.

He looked at the long sword he brought from his house, such a sharp weapon should have been handed over and put away when he had an audience with the prince.But these days, the guards of the Eastern Palace are already familiar with him, and the crown prince is also very close to him, so many rules are naturally not rules.

When he went out to "change clothes", he handed over the long sword to the guard in front of the tent, and now it was put on the desk so directly.

He remained silent for a long time, Xie Heng tilted his head in surprise, and saw that the original smile on the man's face hadn't faded away, and he was struggling hard to appear dignified and aloof.

"The reason why I came here is naturally..." Qin Ye said, "To withdraw the engagement."

-

Yan Ran Xiaozhu.

Since Emperor Hui was assassinated last time, he restrained himself and stayed in his palace for two days, but after a long time, he finally lost his temper and came to look for the Beidi princess again today.

The surroundings were still filled with the fragrance of grass and trees and the slightly bitter smell of medicine. The two imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, trembling, were on standby outside the hall at any time, and were ordered to take care of the skin trauma on Emperor Hui's body due to the assassin's appearance a few days ago.

Emperor Hui leaned on the guiding pillow, and was served by the beauties to feed all kinds of melons and fruits, and Wang Ruhai, the great eunuch in the palace, stood aside, holding various memorials newly handed in, and reading one by one that the emperor was interested in. out.

"Duke Ding went to find the prince to divorce the engagement?!"

Emperor Hui's eyes, which had been half-opened all the time, finally opened completely. He put aside the hand of Princess Beidi, and stared at Wang Ruhai with wide eyes. There was even a little excitement in those cloudy eyes.

Wang Ruhai nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that Duke Ding went to the prince's camp early this morning with a long sword. The two chatted for a while before there was a noise in the camp. What was the quarrel because they couldn't get close and couldn't hear it well?" Qing. After a while, Duke Ding came out again with a sword in hand, His Royal Highness smashed everything that could be smashed in the tent, it was very scary."

"Young Master Ning Xun was originally invited to go on a safari with His Highness the Crown Prince today. His Royal Highness King Jin searched all over the mountains and plains for traces of Young Master Ning Xun, but he couldn't find him. He said he still wanted to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, but everyone had already arrived at the entrance of the camp. Seeing this, I was afraid of disturbing the prince, so I didn't go in again."

Wang Ruhai said this implicitly, but Emperor Hui, who claimed to know his two sons very well, immediately understood.

"Are you afraid of being disturbed?" Emperor Hui laughed when he heard this, "This kid takes Ning Xun more seriously, I'm afraid he can't find anyone who wants to trouble the prince, but he has never seen his brother get so angry. Absolutely terrified."

Wang Ruhai also apologized, but he didn't dare to answer the words about King Jin. He just said: "His Royal Highness is always gentle and elegant, and rarely does anything. He was provoked like this. It seems that Duke Ding's words... are not very respectful."

Emperor Hui didn't care much.

He waved his hand and said, "With Qin Ye's temperament, he is not very respectful in front of me, let alone in front of the prince? Well, since he has made up his mind to take over his southern border military power, there is no need to win over him. He and the prince It wasn't a good match."

"I have already said that I would choose a marriage for the prince from a scholarly family of Qingliu sect. He refused to listen and insisted on contaminating military power. In fact, how could Qin Ye be easy to sell? Children are messing around, and now they can eat Bitter."

Wang Ruhai responded a few times, and Emperor Hui's mood became more comfortable. He pulled the princess of Beidi beside him with one hand, her eyes were already slightly blurred.

Hearing the sound, Wang Ruhai waved his hand and gestured to other people in the hall, and went to untie the gauze curtain in front of the bed curtain to change the incense, and then prepared to serve Emperor Hui to bed.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the house, and another eunuch in front of the hall rushed in without any orders, holding something high in his hands, and knelt down on the ground anxiously.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Southern Border!"

The originally charming atmosphere in the hall ceased, and Emperor Hui's turbid eyes, which had already moved, calmed down in an instant. He coughed, and signaled Wang Ruhai to pick up the brocade box held high in the hands of the great eunuch.

Wang Ruhai took the box and put it on the case table, but backed away, and within a few breaths, a palace attendant in front of the hall who specially prepared the secret military newspaper stepped forward, verified the authenticity and unsealed it before handing it to Emperor Hui desk.

With a sullen face, Emperor Hui finished flipping through the military emergency report with scribbled and concise handwriting, and then threw the fluffy piece of paper out.

An exasperated voice mixed with a bit of self-deprecation resounded through the room.

"Xu Daoyan, the General Who Conquered the South, whom I personally promoted, brought with him [-] elite soldiers..."

"Inverted?"
