After accidentally having a cub with the prince of the enemy country

The auspicious stone is located on a mountain called Yuewangfeng. After Sui Heng arrived at Lishan Mountain, Huo Cheng, the commander of the Nine Battalions who had already carried out the defense mission here in advance, immediately led two deputy commanders to greet him.

"Your Highness will not be greeted."

Huo Cheng had a respectful attitude and led all the soldiers of the nine battalions present to kneel down and salute.

The Nine Battalions are almost all composed of noble sons, and Huo Cheng is also from the Huo family with a deep foundation and great influence in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. There was also a chief executive in the family, and now his father and brother hold important positions in the court.

When Sui Heng was young, he practiced in the Nine Camps, and even stayed in the same camp as Huo Cheng.Huo Cheng was able to become a commander at a young age. In addition to his prominent family background, he also has some real skills. His marksmanship is especially good. He is superb with a Huo family spear. In military competitions, he has won the title for many years.

But when he was in the Nine Camps, he was still under the pressure of Sui Heng day by day.

Sui Heng is the crown prince, with noble status, armed force, courage, and resourcefulness. He has been in the army for only three months, and he has subdued a group of noble disciples into obedience.At that time, Huo Cheng saw that His Highness was hanging out with a group of aristocratic dandies all day long, drinking and having fun, and thought that Sui Heng's ambition was just to hold the Nine Camps in his hands, shake hands with the aristocratic families, and use the most flat and smoothest way to make peace. Seize the throne firmly in a smooth way.He never expected that Sui Heng, a lunatic, would have the courage to leave the Ninth Battalion and take the [-] soldiers he had temporarily recruited to go to the northern border to fight against the coalition forces of the northern countries. Defeating the Sanu cavalry known as "□□", became famous in the first battle, and his reputation spread far and wide. He also took the opportunity to establish the Qinglang Camp. With this desperate battle, he completely gained a firm foothold in the court.

When the Qinglang Camp selects talents, it only considers their talents, regardless of their backgrounds. With Sui Heng running the army with an iron fist, he personally sits in the town, the power is getting stronger and stronger, and the combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger. He even got a "blood slaughter" because of the heavy killing The name.On the other hand, in the Nine Camps, the appointment and employment of all generals are still firmly in the hands of the aristocrats, and comparisons and cliques are prevalent in the camps. The prestige of the original "First Army of the Sui Dynasty" has almost been taken away by the Qinglang Camp.

Because of Sui Heng's cold-blooded and warlike behavior style, and some rumors of tyranny, true or false, the noble children in the army are all afraid of Sui Heng, the crown prince, including Huo Cheng.

At this moment, even though he was kneeling respectfully on the ground, Huo Cheng could already clearly feel the two extremely oppressive gazes from above.

"Commander Huo has worked hard."

After a while, a lazy voice sounded in my ear.

"Please, everyone, there is no need to be too polite. The stone transportation is very important, and this time it depends on your cooperation with Gu Tong."

Huo Cheng led the crowd to stand up, stepped aside respectfully, and reported the situation of the auspicious stone.

He was interrupted by Sui Heng as soon as he spoke.

Sui Heng said: "I heard that you have encircled the entire Lishan Mountain and expelled all the people at the foot of the mountain outside, regardless of food or housing, and let them fend for themselves. Is there such a thing?"

Huo Cheng was stunned, and said: "The general dare not, the general just cleared the place according to the rules, and temporarily moved those people to live elsewhere:

"Where is the other place? Why do you travel all the way alone and see all the displaced people?"

The tone of the other party has turned cold.

Cold sweat broke out on Huo Cheng's forehead, and he called the person behind him: "Vice Commander Yan, what's going on?"

The person called was Yan Bingyi, in his early 20s, with a handsome appearance, and he was a descendant of the Yan family who had won the competition for the position of deputy commander not long ago.

The Yan family is the most prominent family in the capital of the Sui Dynasty.

Relying on the influence of the Yan family, Yan Bingyi has always been used to being domineering and domineering, so he didn't take it seriously when he was called out for questioning, he smiled and said: "Returning to the commander, the general has always strictly followed the rules, it is those unscrupulous people who dislike the house. , If you want to make trouble and move to another place, there is no way...

Huo Cheng frowned.

Yan Bingyi continued: "At the end of the day, it's better to arrest all those unruly people, throw them into prison, and punish them well, so that they will know how powerful the court is, so they don't dare to make noise again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bingyi received a whip on his face.

The whip was so heavy that it almost broke the bridge of his nose, and blood flowed from Yan Bingyi's face immediately.

He covered his face and screamed, looked up, shocked and angrily.

Looking at it, another whip was drawn down, and half of his ear was directly removed.

Yan Bingyi uttered a beak that did not resemble a human voice.

Xu Qiao on the side shouted coldly: "What are you, you dare to look directly at His Majesty's majesty!"

Sui Heng held the other end of the long whip, his face sank like water, and asked Huo Cheng calmly: "Commander Huo, is this the newly promoted deputy commander you have chosen from thousands of people?"

Huo Cheng knelt down quickly, not daring to speak.

When the soldiers behind saw this, they all showed panic and fell to their knees.

They only knew that Sui Heng's army was strict and cruel, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.Yan Bingyi is a descendant of the Yan family, and he is used to being arrogant and domineering. On weekdays, even Huo Cheng would give him three points of favor, and the other honorable disciples were even more cautious in complimenting him, for fear of offending the Yan family.Looking at Yan Bingyi, who was covered in blood, howling and writhing in pain, and Sui Heng, who was casually playing with a long whip, the tip of which was still stained with blood foam and pieces of meat, everyone felt chills in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness, the last generals are not strict in discipline..."

Huo Cheng fell to the ground to plead guilty, cold sweat dripping silently from his forehead.

Huo Cheng was a little anxious. Although Yan Bingyi was stupid and hateful, he was a child of the Yan family after all. If something went wrong in his hands, the Yan family would probably blame him.He had to try to save him.

Sui Heng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Since Commander Huo can't manage well, Gu will take care of it for you."

His expression was as cold as frost for a moment, and he ordered: "Pull it down, hang it to the gate of the camp and beat it, two hundred lashes, all the personnel in the nine battalions, regardless of their rank, stand outside the gate and watch."

Two hundred lashes, for a playboy like Yan Bingyi who is pampered and only knows how to show his fists and legs, even if he can't be beaten to death, he will lose half his life.

Huo Cheng couldn't help but say, "Your Highness..."

"For the sake of Commander Huo's hard work these days, Gu will not punish you."

"If it's my own camp, if the imperial servants are not thoughtful to Commander Huo's level, at least they will be punished with the same crime.

Huo Cheng's face turned pale, he lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

Sui Heng glanced around, and said: "When you do things alone, there are always orders and prohibitions, and clear rewards and punishments. No matter what your customs were in the past, from today onwards, you must strictly follow the military orders of Gu. Laziness and delay for no reason. Yin and Yang violate, deceive the upper and lower, and opportunists will not be forgiven. Commander Huo, I will give you half a day to settle all the displaced people. From now on, no one will invade at will by closing the mountain. All civilians will be severely punished according to military law."

Huo Cheng trembling should be. Respectfully send him into the camp

Sui Heng took people to inspect the legendary "auspicious stone" before returning to the tent to rest.

Not long after, Xu Qiao came in and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, someone brought it here."

Sui Heng said: "Bring it in."

Two soldiers came in carrying a large sack and threw it on the open space in the tent, the things inside struggled and writhed.Sui Heng raised his hand, and the soldier immediately unsealed the sack, and a man dressed as a Taoist priest was bound hands and feet, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and he bared his head with a sob.

Opening his eyes, he first saw a few tall, burly soldiers, and couldn't help shaking violently. Then, he saw sitting on the main seat, with black hair and black armor. He looked very handsome. A handsome, sharp and intimidating young man.

The Taoist immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Sui Heng.

Xu Qiao took out the cloth strip from his mouth.

Sui Heng tapped on the table with his fingers, and asked, "Are you the real Yuheng?"

Real person Yuheng was the alchemist who first discovered the auspicious stone and reported the news to the imperial court.Not long ago, he was received by Emperor Sui.Because of this great achievement, he received a generous reward from the imperial court. He was originally planning to leave the Sui capital overnight and go to the south of the Yangtze River, but he was beaten unconscious halfway and kidnapped here with sacks along the way.

Master Yuheng didn't know Sui Heng's identity, nor did he know why the other party had kidnapped him here, so he nodded in panic: "Yes, it's the villain."

Xu Qiao then told him intimately that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on it.

Daoist Yuheng's eyes widened, he became more and more frightened, and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"I don't know... Why did His Highness call the villain over?"

He naturally heard that His Majesty sent the prince to Lishan to personally transport the auspicious stone back to the court, so he vaguely guessed that Sui Heng's kidnapping of him might have something to do with the auspicious stone.

Sui Heng didn't mention auspicious stones, but asked: "I heard that the Taoist master is not only good at observing the sky, but also good at divination and palm reading?"

Master Yuheng didn't understand what he meant, so he could only nod tremblingly.

"Slightly, know a thing or two."

Sui Heng stretched out his hand: "Then how about asking the priest to show Gu the palmistry?"

The real Yuheng was shocked and shook his head: "This, this is absolutely unacceptable. Your Highness has a noble status and is the future Emperor of the Dragon. How dare a villain offend you. Your Highness is a villain."

Sui Heng's eyebrows darkened.

"Gu ordered the Taoist priest to watch."

Yu Heng was at a loss.

Xu Qiao said on the side: "The Taoist priest should have heard about our highness's temper, so don't dawdle.

Daoist Yuheng didn't dare to say anything, stood up trembling, and knelt down in front of Sui Heng.

Sui Heng asked, "Which hand is the Taoist master good at looking at?"

"All, all are fine."

"Then this one."

Sui Heng stretched out his right hand.

Immortal Jiang Yuheng was trembling non-stop, he smiled and asked: "The Taoist priest seems to be very nervous."

Master Yuheng smiled wryly: "Your Highness is famous far and wide, villains, villains dare not be afraid."

Sui Heng patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Don't worry, as long as the Taoist priest sees it correctly, I will not make things difficult for you."

Immediately, real Yuheng laughed uglier than cried.

His scalp was numb and he asked, "I don't know Your Highness, what do you want?"

Sui Heng thought about it carefully, and said: "Forget it, the concubine in the lonely family will give birth to Lin'er for the lonely."

Xu Qiao: ...

Master Yuheng was taken aback.

He couldn't help but think of the rumors circulating between the government and the opposition that the prince killed too much and his heirs were weak.

Originally, he didn't believe that Sui Heng had taken so much trouble to tie him up to see palm reading, but at this moment, he had some doubts. Could it be that His Highness was really troubled by the problem of heirs and had to ask "gods" for help?

Immortal Yuheng regained confidence instantly.

Because he had seen too many things like begging for a child, half of the people who spent a lot of money to come to him for palm reading in the past were related to their heirs.

After years of exploration, real Yuheng has summed up a set of perfect rhetoric suitable for various situations.

The real old god Yuheng looked on the ground for a long time, showing surprise, and said: "From the palmistry, His Highness's offspring should come from the south, and must be assisted by noble people. Your Highness, this noble concubine, must be born on the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Go to the highest and largest Taoist temple in the south, offer a bunch of fresh peach blossoms, as long as you pray with all your heart, you will be able to enter the stomach with purple air..."

Master Yuheng said while secretly observing Sui Heng's expression.

Sui Heng smiled and listened, seemingly satisfied.

After listening, he withdrew his hand, Shi Shiran asked: "The Taoist priest has a clever calculation, didn't he figure out another thing?

Master Yuheng was at a loss: "What's the matter?"

Xu Qiao replied: "Our Highness's concubine is a young gentleman, not a young lady."

Immortal Yuheng's expression paled instantly.

Sui Heng's expression finally cooled down, and he asked: "Tell me, who is behind the auspicious stone matter?"

The author has something to say: Master Yuheng: Injustice.
