Beiyang new warlord

At this time, an orderly walked in hurriedly, bent down, and reported in a low voice.

"My lord, His Royal Highness is visiting..."

"I don't have time to waste time with that trash, let him wait!"

Before the report could be finished, it was interrupted impatiently by Adelaine. Mao Xingjian, who was choking along with the orderly, was outside the door. Under those dim pupils, the muscles on his face could not help Twitching, even for a moment, his fists were twisted and creaked, but when the orderly came out helplessly, he had lowered his head, sat quietly in the cold wind, and waited on the cold bench in the corridor .

In the conference room, during Mao Jue's unique staff discussion session after he established a new army, each of the top students in the military academy spoke freely without fear, arguing blushingly. During their debate, the time passed extremely long. I don't know how many hours passed Then, a large group of generals came out of the war room on the top floor.

"Prince?"

Hearing the strange questioning voice of the messenger, Mao Xingjian nodded silently, stood up from the bench, and walked straight into the room without any snowflakes falling on his body.

Adelaine seems to be a little tired. It is said that people will become very similar after being together for a long time. She also spread her arms and legs indecently, lying on the rickety armchair like Mao Jue. On the map, those daggers were still inserted on the map, but a huge fork struck shockingly on the Snake River Plain and on the paradise created by Mao Xingjian. Looking at this, Mao Xingjian's eyebrows twitched violently unconsciously. few times.

"What are you here for?"

Mao Xingjian was still familiar with him, and with his usual annoying tone, he didn't seem to intend to stand up. Adelena just asked lazily, but one word made the prince tremble violently. For a few seconds, he said It was extremely difficult, and the voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

"I..., how are you going to deal with me?"

"Disposal?"

With a snort, Adelaine slightly turned her head aside coldly.

"I don't have any authority to dispose of you."

"But I'm really glad to see you in such a mess!"

When I mentioned this, I finally got some interest. I leaned over and lay down on the table, with one hand resting on my slender chin. There was still that kind of hair on my face that Xingjian hates the most, like watching cockfights and racing cars. Looking at his face full of roughness and frostbite after being blown by the strong wind, he said frivolously with such an expression.

These words finally aroused a bit of Mao Xingjian's unconvinced rebellious heart, he was a little trembling, a little lonely, and said mockingly: "Yes, this time he can justifiably abolish me, and then you , Aunt Qiandai, Aunt Le, you all have a chance again, don’t you?”

"Really, have you forgotten what His Majesty said before leaving? You will always be the prince, his successor! Because you are the prince he hates the most!"

Standing up with a smile, Adelaina's slightly heavy high-heeled boots stepped on the wood, making a rattling sound. In Mao Xingjian's astonishment, she walked to the window with her hands behind her back. The puzzled words were explained.

"A good emperor will either care about everything that is wise, or ignore everything that is useless. The former is like Emperor Qin, Hanwu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, and the latter is like Wenjing, Renxuan, and even Tianqi. There is no need to be wise and powerful. , Xiao Guicao can do whatever he wants!"

"Do you know who you were like before? You are like Chongzhen!"

Seeing Adelaine's finger pointing on his nose, Mao Xingjian visibly shook twice, full of anger, he wanted to argue, but the words were stuck in his mouth, and he didn't say anything.

The cold facts were right in front of his eyes. When he closed his eyes, he couldn't seem to see the angry faces of Zhao Conglong, Jin Laoliu and the others. He didn't know how many undead were screaming in his ears. Isn't he Chongzhen?He obviously has no ability, but he has to intervene in everything. The only thing he is stronger than Chongzhen now is that Chongzhen has not repented until his death, but now he is decadent.

Seeing whether to speak or not, Adelaine seemed too lazy to bother with him, and waved her little hand like chasing flies.

"Go back! Tomorrow I will arrange a boat for you to go back to Daming to inherit your Wanguan family business! Be a Daoist with peace of mind, and just rule with ease. The world, we courtiers will understand!"

I'm afraid Mao Xingjian has never encountered such an insult in his life. His shoulders trembled violently again because of his anger, but he was still speechless. In the end, he turned around and left the room in silence.

But before leaving, he glanced at the cowhide map and looked at the eye-catching huge fork. Suddenly, he still couldn't help turning his head and asked in a whisper.

"This, this battle, how do you... Marshal plan to fight?"

This question caught Adelaina by surprise, but she didn't take it seriously. She explained indifferently: "Three days of preparations, I will make a big move to the south, end their navy in the Gulf of Mexico, and then capture Mexico. city."

"You..., you don't intend to take back the Snake River? There are tens of thousands of blood feuds there!"

With eyes wide open, Mao Xingjian raised his voice for the first time tonight, yelling inconceivably, but Adelaine was still smiling and shaking her head.

"No amount of blood feud is your blood feud. The mission of this expedition is to defeat Spain, capture the isthmus of the New World, and open up the route to Europe."

Speaking of this, Adelaine's eyes became mocking again, and she hummed sharply.

"Thanks to you, Snake River has [-] barbarians who have several years of food, a lot of ironware, and are extremely good at playing hide-and-seek in the mountains. With three months of military rations, the life and death of [-] troops are playing hide-and-seek with them in the mountains. ? Sorry, I'm not stupid!"

"The Snake River is worthless!"

.........

Mao Xingjian didn't even know how he walked out of Adelaine's headquarters, his mind was blank, although he was still alive, but at that moment, he felt that his whole body was dead, all his ideals, all Pride, actions, and even his personality were rejected by Adelaine.

If Mao Jue sent him here this time to watch him stumble and tell him to shut up completely, then he should have done it. It seems that the former Mao Xingjian has been wiped out!All that was left was a walking dead named Prince.

Just like a corpse, he swayed back to the tent in the medical care area with a blank mind, and suddenly opened the curtain. The next second, Mao Xingjian's pupils shrank again.

Han Xiaomo, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, was gone! ! !

Chapter 8 Seventeen. There is nothing to lose in the prince chapter

Perhaps Han Xiaomo was already the last link supporting him, Mao Xingjian. If it wasn't for her, perhaps he, the crown prince, would have died in Snake City and merged with that Xiaowan soul. I don't know if I still have the courage to live.

Like a lunatic, he rushed out of the tent anxiously. Fortunately, just before he went mad, Han Xiaomo's shivering body like a little quail was reflected in a bright fire not far from the tent. into his eyes.

At that moment, maybe everything in the world was unimportant, and the corners of his eyes were even a little wet, full of surprises, Mao Xingjian ran over quickly, blaming him angrily, and at the same time, he suddenly opened the mask Wearing his own fur cloak, he wrapped the girl's cold body in it from behind.

"You are crazy! Do you know that you almost died! If you don't lie down in the tent, you run around..."

But before he finished yelling, Han Xiaomo turned his head abruptly, and looked at him with such a lifeless and strange look, as if he had no soul. For a moment, just when he felt hopeless , fortunately, there was another familiar, charming smirk on her face, and she responded excitedly.

"Eldest nephew, you are back!"

His heart relaxed, but then he tightened again, his hand waved in front of her eyes, looking at her unresponsive eyes, Mao Xingjian swallowed hard, so as not to let his choking show, pulling his cold hand, Mao Xingjian He said hastily again.

"Stop messing around, your high fever has just subsided, you can't catch a cold anymore, hurry back to the tent with me!"

"Don't worry, once when I was young, because I stole Mongolian Naiyan's steamed buns, he threw them into the snow and froze all night. I heard my grandma said that my head was hot enough to boil eggs, and I didn't burn to death. That's fine." What, it’s you! You haven’t eaten for another day, right? If you don’t eat any more, you will fall ill first!”

It was only then that Mao Xingjian realized that there was an earthen pot hanging on the small fire, and the familiar fragrance wafted out of it. Seeing Han Xiaomo's little hands groping around him again, his trembling became more intense. He couldn't have imagined that this woman How to stir up the ingredients when he was blind in both eyes, light a fire in the ice and snow, and cook supper for him.

And all of a sudden, he also suddenly thought of how hard it is to have warm porridge every night, which he has become accustomed to and doesn't care about.

After wiping his eyes twice, Mao Xingjian hurriedly grabbed her cold little hand again, but sat down side by side with her, supported her with one hand, and used her hand to fill the pot with hot porridge. , Regardless of whether it is hot or not, while she was listening, she raised her head and poured it into her stomach violently.

There was a trace of joy on the small face, but immediately, Han Xiaomo blamed him a little anxiously: "Slow down! It's hot! Why are you in such a hurry? Are you stupid?"

The warm porridge dispelled the lingering chill in her body, holding her cold little hand, Mao Xingjian's voice was so rare that he couldn't believe it, and he asked reproachfully.

"Then are you stupid? Why do you block it for me, you can't see anything now! Let's see how you get married!"

"I'm not stupid! I promised Sister Changping, and there is another very gentle and sweet big sister who will take care of you, and I, Han Xiaomo, must do it! Otherwise, am I still me?"

She shook her fist angrily, and after a while, she murmured weakly again: "If you can't see it, you can't see it. I, I will not get married at all. What's the big deal!"

In the dark, sometimes someone must be another person's light. It is rare for this girl to say a philosophical sentence, but Mao Xingjian was once again in a daze, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"I..., is it still me?"
