Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ji walked towards the study, giving instructions as he walked.

"Go to Kaiyang Street and prepare a shop."

Gao Shan reminded: "Our family does not have a store on Kaiyang Street."

He wanted to talk about this just now, but he was too embarrassed to speak because of the presence of the princess and Feihe.

He thought King Zhao had forgotten about it. After all, there were too many shops under the name of King Zhao, and King Zhao didn't like to care about these trivial matters on weekdays. It was normal not to know where the shops were.

Li Ji glanced at him lightly.

"This king says it will be there."

Of course he knew that he had no shop on Kaiyang Street.

But what does that matter?

Even if you don't have one, you can spend some money to buy a shop.

Does he still need this little money?

Gao Shan was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, and quickly responded: "Your servant understands."

He had to ask someone to go back to the palace as soon as possible, and asked the cashier to pay a sum of money to buy a shop in Kaiyang Street.

Chen Wangbei stood straight at the door of the study. His clothes were covered with a lot of dust. Although his face was clean after washing, there was a lot of stubble on his chin and his hair was a bit messy. When he came back from other places, he looked like he was in the dust.

When he saw King Zhao coming, he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"This subordinate pays homage to His Royal Highness King Zhao."

Li Ji: "Have you waited long?"

Chen Wangbei: "No, my subordinates have just arrived."

Jin Shu pushed open the door.

Li Ji walked in first, followed by Chen Wangbei.

Jin Shu poured a cup of herbal tea for the two of them.

Knowing that the two of them had something to say, she left silently, not forgetting to close the door at the end.

Chen Wangbei took out a letter from his pocket and put it on the desk solemnly.

"This is a letter written by General Xuanwei who is in charge of guarding the south of the mausoleum. He asked his subordinates to bring it back and hand it over to the prince."

General Xuanwei was once a military general who was single-handedly promoted by Lord Zhen Guo. Later, because of political disagreements, the relationship between the two broke down and they parted ways directly.

Afterwards, he was sent by the emperor to Lingnan, where he was in charge of the 50,000 Tianwei army.

They haven't been in touch since then.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are already inseparable enemies.

But Li Ji knew that those were just illusions for outsiders to see, in fact, they had a secret relationship in private.

With the death of Lord Zhen Guo, the communication between the two was also cut off.

In the past few years, Li Ji has never received any letters from General Xuanwei.

He thought that General Xuanwei didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but he didn't expect to receive a letter from General Xuanwei suddenly at this time.

Li Ji opened the letter and took out a thin piece of rice paper from it.

A lot of words were densely written on the paper, and it can be summed up in two things——

The first thing is that after Dongyang King fled to Lingnan, he hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and married the daughter of a local village owner. With the support of the village owner, it was very difficult for the court to win them down.

The second thing is to tell Li Ji that the reason why he hasn't contacted Li Ji for so many years is not because he has forgotten his friendship with Duke Zhen, but because he wants to protect Li Ji.

At that time, although Li Ji was well-known on the battlefield, he still had the spirit of a young man. General Xuanwei was worried that he would do something uncontrollable on the spur of the moment, so he deliberately and unilaterally broke off the relationship with Zhen Guo. public contact.

But in fact, for so many years, General Xuanwei has sent people to secretly protect Li Ji.

Seeing Li Ji grow up to this point, General Xuanwei was very pleased. If he had the opportunity, he hoped to meet Li Ji.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Ji didn't have much reaction.

He casually threw the letter paper into the pen sink.

The ink on the rice paper quickly melted away, blurring into one piece.

Li Ji knew very well in his heart that he could not believe everything General Xuanwei said.

What they said about sending someone to protect him secretly was actually more about monitoring and observation.

Since the death of Duke Zhen, Li Ji is the only person in the world who knows of the relationship between Duke Zhen and General Xuanwei.

General Xuanwei was worried that Li Ji would betray him, so he sent someone to watch him secretly. As long as he showed the slightest desire for Gao Mi, his life would be gone.

After six years of observation, General Xuanwei found that not only did Li Ji not betray him, but he climbed higher and higher, and his accumulated achievements even surpassed that of Lord Zhen Guo. This gave General Xuanwei the reason to secretly contact Li Ji idea.

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.

There is nothing to blame for General Xuanwei's actions. Li Ji would do the same thing if it were Li Ji.

Li Ji sat on the low couch, leaning back lazily, with his right hand casually thrown aside, his wide sleeves hanging down the armrest.

"Tell me, what's going on with King Dongyang?"

Chen Wangbei immediately told their experiences in detail.

He was ordered to chase the rebels with the Dragon Knight.

King Dongyang and Xu Jiwu took the rebels and fled all the way to Lingnan, and finally fled into the deep mountains and old forests.

The terrain in the mountain was complicated, and Chen Wangbei didn't dare to go too deep. He only searched around the edge of the forest, but returned in vain.

In desperation, Chen Wangbei could only contact General Xuanwei who was stationed in the south of Lingnan, hoping to get help from him.

General Xuanwei was very enthusiastic.

He personally led the troops to lead Chen Wangbei and his party into the mountain, and found the traces left by the rebels.

It's a pity they were one step too late.

When they found the rebels, King Dongyang had already married the daughter of a local village owner.

There are many ethnic minorities gathered in the Lingnan area, and these ethnic minorities have formed villages of different sizes. The new father-in-law of King Dongyang happens to be the owner of the largest village among them, and everyone has to honor him as the owner of the village when they see him.

Those villages are united together and have their own set of rules.

No matter what happened to the people in their village, it was discussed and resolved within the village, and outsiders could not intervene at all.

Even the local government can't control them.

Facing the imperial army who came to capture King Dongyang, the village master led the villagers to surround them.

The number of the two sides is about the same, but the court army is not familiar with the place, so they are not sure that they can win.

The most important thing is that if they really want to fight, the peace that has been maintained for many years in the local area will be broken. At that time, King Xiaonan who lives next door may take advantage of the situation.

After weighing, General Xuanwei decided to take a step back.

He led the people out of the forest.

It didn't take long for the imperial army to rush to Lingnan.

General Xuanwei came forward again and took them into the mountains to capture King Dongyang.

However, when they found the stockade, they found that the entire stockade was empty, and there was no one in it.

The imperial army searched for a long time in the mountains, but not only failed to find any traces of the rebels, but because they were not familiar with the terrain, many people fell into the trap, and lost hundreds of people in just three days.

General Xuanwei noticed something was wrong.

He suspected that this was a deliberate trick set up by the rebels, and proposed to withdraw the troops temporarily, and after going back, he would think about a way before deciding what to do next?

However, the two generals who were ordered to suppress the rebellion were unwilling to return empty-handed and decided to set fire to the mountain.

As a result, this move aroused the anger of all the villages in the mountain, and even the villagers living at the foot of the mountain were excited.

I've been out of town for the past few days, so the update time is confusing, sorry! QQ
