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

Real person Yuheng changed color slightly.

Quickly lowered his head, covering the strange look in his eyes: "The villain doesn't understand, what does your Highness mean.

Sui Heng said directly: "Chop off one of his hands."

The soldier next to him responded with a loud voice, and with a bang, he pulled out the long knife at his waist, dragged the real Yuheng and walked out.

When did Master Yuheng see such a scene, he was frightened out of his wits and shouted: "The villain said, the villain said, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Sui Heng raised his hand.

The soldier let go of the man, and the real Yuheng immediately rolled and crawled to Sui Heng's feet, his trousers were mostly wet, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he said in a trembling voice: "Someone gave the villain a large sum of gold, and let the villain People say that, the villain really didn't deliberately deceive His Majesty, deceive His Majesty."

Sui Heng asked, "Who is it?"

"The villain doesn't know either."

Master Yuheng stammered and described the other party's characteristics.

At the end, he said: "By the way, the villain remembers that he has a very big black mole on the back of his ear.

"mole?"

Xu Qiao searched quickly in his mind, and then said: "Could it be..."

Sui Heng raised his hand, did not let him continue talking, and ordered the soldiers to take him down and imprison him first.

Xu Qiao was a little worried.

Because according to the Taoist priest's description, the person who manipulated the auspicious stone was probably an official of the Ministry of Rites who was attached to the Yan family, named Liu Ziqian.After the Spring Banquet, Yan Bing claimed that he was ill and would not go to court. From top to bottom, the Yan family showed a rare low-key, for no reason, why did they invent a so-called auspicious stone, just to win His Majesty's favor?

That being the case, why didn't the official of the Ministry of Rites report the matter directly to the court, but to publicize it through the mouth of a Taoist priest?Xu Qiao began to worry about another, more terrifying possibility.

But he couldn't believe that the Yan family had such courage.

Xu Qiao tentatively said: "Do you want to try to catch that Liu Ziqian?"

Sui Heng smirked: "They are inviting Gu to enter the urn. If Gu Ruo scares the snake so quickly, wouldn't it be a waste of their painstaking efforts?"

Xu Qiao nodded.

Liu Ziqian was an official ordered by the imperial court, and without conclusive evidence, it was really inappropriate to arrest him just based on a Taoist priest's words.Moreover, His Majesty is currently enjoying the "auspiciousness" of Long Yan, if His Majesty stands up at this time and says that the auspicious stone was deliberately forged by someone, but the heavens did not send any auspiciousness, I am afraid that it will displease His Majesty.

This hand is really too dark.

The other party's thoughts were so meticulous that he could even figure out the matter that His Majesty would send His Highness to Lishan Mountain to transport rocks, which is really terrifying.

The matter of transporting the stone is of great importance. If something goes wrong, His Highness, the escort officer, will bear the brunt of it and cannot escape the blame.

Xu Qiao hadn't had such an ominous premonition in his heart for a long time.

Sui Heng knocked on the case with his fingers, but his eyebrows were extremely calm. After a while, he said: "I want a detailed topographic map and defense map of Lishan Mountain, the more detailed the better. With Wangyue Peak as the center, within ten miles The mountains, rivers, mountain roads, and garrison distribution must be mapped out in detail."

"Yes."

"Is the stone transporter and tools ready?"

"Everything is already in place, from the people to the carriages and horses, all are selected by the subordinates themselves, and there will never be any business trips.

Sui Heng nodded, and then ordered: "Call all the generals with titles, including the Ninth Battalion, to discuss matters in the solitary tent on time at [-]:[-] pm, and say... Gu must re-arrange the defense of Mount Li."

At a quarter of the unitary hour, everyone arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army on time.

Even Yan Bingyi, who had just received two hundred lashes and was already on the verge of death, was carried over on a stretcher.All the accompanying generals of the Qinglang Battalion and the Ninth Battalion sat on both sides, with a clear distinction between each other and non-interference, forming a silent confrontation.

Sui Heng entered the tent, walked through the crowd with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "I summoned you here to set up defenses on Mount Li. I have some new ideas."

Huo Cheng's heart sank.

He hesitated and said: "The Nine Battalions have always been responsible for the defense of Mount Li. Does Your Highness mean to rearrange everything?"

"That's right. Transporting the auspicious stones is a matter of great importance, and there is no room for any mistakes. I have inspected various places today and found that there are still many omissions in defense."

Huo Chengdao: "The defense of Lishan Mountain is a unified arrangement of the soldiers and horses. If your highness wants to change, should you first ask the soldiers and horses for advice?"

Sui Heng smiled: "I will not accept the order of the emperor outside. Since my father has entrusted the responsibility of transporting the auspicious stones to Gu, it is natural that Gu has the final say on the defense of this place, and there is no need to bother with the soldiers and horses."

The generals of the nine camps looked at each other in blank dismay.

The Bingma Division is in charge of the country's military, horse, food, and grass affairs. It is divided into two departments: the Ministry of War and the Hucao, both of which are in the hands of the aristocratic family. Salaries are all under the direct management of Bingmasi.Before the establishment of the Qinglang Battalion, the Nine Battalions were once the most powerful army in the Sui Dynasty, and there were many famous generals in the battalion.Lishan is the training ground and base camp of the Nine Battalions.

Even if the Qinglang Battalion is not under the direct management of the Bingmasi, but in case of war, the food and supplies and all the supplies must be provided by the Bingmasi. If the crown prince acts over the Bingmasi like this, it is almost tantamount to slapping the other party in the face. , In this way, isn't it a disguised way to cut off his own back?

This is the second time Huo Cheng felt Sui Heng's strength and madness positively today, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Sui Heng Shi Shiran sat in the commander's seat, and began to issue military orders in an orderly manner one by one.

Halfway through the announcement, the soldiers suddenly asked for an interview, saying that all letters from Sui Dynasty had been delivered.

Sui Heng raised his eyebrows, stopped immediately, let his personal soldiers come in, took the letter, read it with relish in front of a full tent of soldiers.

Huo Cheng was feeling uneasy, so he tried: "Dare to ask Your Highness, but there are new orders from the capital?"

Huo Cheng felt anxious like never before.

Lishan is of great significance to the Nine Camps. Once Lishan is lost, he will not be able to explain it when he returns to the capital.But Sui Heng trapped everyone in the tent and didn't give him a chance to report the news. He couldn't wait to hope that the Bing Ma Si could detect the prince's ambition in time.

Sui Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "It's a love letter from my concubine Gu."

Huo Cheng: "..."

Sui Heng went on to sigh: "There are a lot of words in the letter that make Gu feel ashamed after reading it, and I don't know how he came up with it."

Xu Qiao smiled and said, "Xiao Lang must be missing His Highness.

"Yes. When I was in the mansion, I kept pestering Gu. I wanted this and that. I was dissatisfied with my desires. After leaving Gu for a few days, I was dying.

He kept urging the orphan to go back, and at the end of every letter he had to write "I miss my husband, I'm so lonely and can't sleep", I've never seen such a clingy person.Is it the same for the concubines in your family? "

"..."

Xu Qiao recalled Mr. Xiaolang's elegant demeanor, and vaguely felt that his Highness's words could not be fully believed, but he had no evidence and dared not refute.

Others expressed embarrassingly that their concubines did not have the guts to write a letter at such a time. Sui Heng sighed leisurely, "Sure enough, I was spoiled by loneliness." Then he left a tent and wrote a reply letter on the spot. Give it to the soldiers.

Because of this little episode, it was already late at night when the discussion ended, and all the generals were forced to watch how His Highness the Crown Prince and his concubine were deeply in love with each other.

On the way back, his confidant couldn't help saying to Huo Cheng: "The prince replaced all the guards in Yuewangfeng and the core area of ​​Lishan Mountain with people from the Qinglang Camp. He made it clear that he doesn't trust our Ninth Battalion and the general. Why did the general just give in and not raise any objections?"

Huo Cheng frowned, but didn't say anything.

The confidant continued: "Before the prince went to Lishan to train troops, he blatantly invaded the training ground that originally belonged to the Ninth Battalion. Now this posture is to take advantage of the opportunity of transporting stones to turn the entire Lishan into the Qinglang Battalion. If things go on like this, what is the prestige of the Nine Battalions? The general doesn't feel aggrieved, and all the subordinates feel aggrieved for the general."

"okay."

Huo Cheng interrupted him irritably.

"Your Highness has his own reasons for doing this, don't talk nonsense anymore. Hasn't Yan Bingyi's end today taught you enough?"

The lieutenant who spoke was also a descendant of the Yan family.

Hearing Huo Cheng's words, his face should be true, but his eyes showed contempt. He felt that Huo Cheng was too honest and lacked decisiveness and aggressiveness. No wonder he was nailed to the position of the Ninth Camp for so many years and failed to move up. Take a step up.

The name of this Yan Wu was Yan Wu. After Huo Cheng called him back, he didn't go back to his tent to rest immediately, but went into the tent of another deputy commander.

After two days of leisure in the mansion, Jiang Yun drove out on the third day accompanied by Shi Fang and Ji An.

Because Fan Qi squirmed over early in the morning, saying that today is Aunt Fan's birthday, Aunt Fan cooked a large table of special dishes, and wanted to invite Jiang Yun over for a light meal.

Jiang Yun was bored in the mansion for many days and wanted to go out for a stroll, so he agreed.

The weather is fine today, and there are many carriages and horses on the street, noisy and lively, Jiang Yun and Shifang went to the street to buy gifts for Mrs. Fan, got in the car, and went directly to Fan's house, unexpectedly when they reached the corner of the street , collided with a bullock cart that rushed out diagonally.

The driver was an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes. Seeing that it was a nobleman driving the car, he was so frightened that he immediately apologized.

The guard wanted to reprimand him, but Jiang Yun stopped him.

Jiang Yun took a look and saw that the old man's ox cart had overturned, and the food on it was spilled all over the ground. He got off the cart, helped him up himself, and said, "It's okay."

He also asked the guards to help relocate a few bags of grain to the car.

When the old man saw that such a gentle and fairy-like young man came out of the car, he was stunned, and moved to kneel down again to thank him.

Jiang Yun hurriedly stopped him, turned his head, and suddenly saw some red powder on the leaked rice grains, walked over, picked up a few grains of rice and smelled them.The old man didn't understand what he meant, and stood aside in horror.

Jiang Yun then asked him: "Old man, do you know what is on the rice?"

The old man shook his head blankly.

Jiang Yun asked again: "Where did the old man buy these rice?"

His tone was gentle, and the old man relaxed quickly, and said with a smile, "I didn't buy it, it was Lumi."

"Lumi?"

"Yes, the youngest son of the old man's family entrusted his relationship to serve as a soldier in the Ninth Battalion, this is Lumi who was just issued today.

Jiang Yun was thoughtful, and when he arrived at Fan's house, he gave a gift to Aunt Fan, and Aunt Fan thankfully invited Jiang Yun into the house for dinner.

There is already a table full of dishes on the food table.

Jiang Yun saw with sharp eyes that one grain of rice was red on the bowl of rice in front of him.

He took out the grain of rice and put it in the palm of his hand. Seeing this, Aunt Fan said shamelessly: "It's all my carelessness, I didn't wash it clean, I'll give you another bowl."

Jiang Yun said no, and asked, "Is this the Lumi newly issued by Vice General Fan?"

Before Aunt Fan spoke, Fan Qi stared wide-eyed: "How do you know?"

Jiang Yun didn't answer, but said: "Can you give me some of the remaining rice?"

On the way back, Jiang Yun was still staring at a small handful of rice in his palm, and Shi Fang couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with this rice?"

Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I just feel a little strange, so I want to study it."

Shi Fang gritted his teeth and said, "That group of moths in the Nine Days Battalion have been deceiving their superiors and their inferiors, and greedy for the military pay. It's not a day or two, but I didn't expect that they even dared to shove the soldiers' Lumi as good ones."

Jiang Yun asked him: "Do you think this is inferior rice?"

Shi Fang nodded: "There are sundries in the rice, it must be old rice bought at a low price."

Jiang Yun's eyes fell back to the palm of his hand, he picked up a grain of rice, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I see, it's plump and crystal clear, it looks like new rice."

It was night, Jiang Yun was sitting under the window reading a book, and the soldiers sent letters back overnight.

Jiang Yun went to the corridor, took the letter in person, and saw that the soldier's face was a little strange, and he was not the same person as the previous two days, so he asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is fine."

Jiang Yun nodded, went to the house to open the letter, read it, and wrote a reply after arriving at the case, put it in an envelope and sealed it, and handed it to the soldiers who were still waiting in the corridor.

When the soldiers turned around, Jiang Yun suddenly said: "Didn't he ask you to bring me plums?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Your Highness said that the military affairs are busy today, and I will bring it to Mr. Xiaolang tomorrow."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "I know."

When the soldiers left, the smile disappeared from the corner of Jiang Yun's mouth. He slowly raised his head, looked at the empty and dark night, and gently squeezed his cuffs tightly.

"Sir?"

Ji An saw Jiang Yun in surprise after seeing him off.

Mr. Xiao Lang has fluttering sleeves, as if he has something on his mind.

Jiang Yun said: "Please give me a lamp, I want to go to Book Pavilion."
