Yan Ruyu looked at the abbot's indignant look and couldn't help but remind him.

"After this time, you have realized it, right? Power is heaven here. If you are not absolutely sure, it is best not to provoke it easily."

The abbot still wanted to say something, but Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Of course, we are not afraid of trouble. I am not asking you to be a coward. If anything happens, the prince and I will take care of it for you."

The abbot nodded: "I understand, Ruyu, don't worry, if you protect me like this, I won't let you down. As I said, we will always be our own people."

There were footsteps outside, Yan Ruyu stopped, and the abbot became serious in an instant.

"Okay, the poor monk will go ahead. Princess, we'll talk about it later if we have anything to do."

The abbot turned around and walked away, meeting Huo Changhe and the secret guards he had brought back at the Moon Gate. The abbot even recited "Amitabha."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Huo Changhe asked: "Has the abbot finished talking to you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I was just worried about whether I was injured, so I asked."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the secret guard: "Let's go."

……

In the afternoon, the sky became gloomy and gray, and it seemed like it was going to snow again.

Shen Huaixin glanced at the people tied to the racks outside the tent and sneered silently.

He didn't want to see any of Huo Changhe's men, it was best to kill them all!

"So, are they willing to plead guilty?"

"Sir, no."

Shen Huaixin flicked the whip in his hand, quickly walked out of the tent, and approached those people.

They were injured and frozen, their breath was dying, their heads were lowered, and they didn't even have the strength to raise their heads.

Shen Huaixin slapped his whip on his palms: "I'll ask you again, have you collaborated with the enemy?"

"Was it Huo Changhe's instigation?"

When several people heard this, they suddenly seemed to gain strength, raised their heads suddenly, and their eyes widened.

"We have never collaborated with the enemy, and we have nothing to do with King Zhennan!"

"We...have not contacted King Zhennan for a long time, and we only took a look at him from afar at the city gate."

"Sir, you have something to do with us!"

Shen Huaixin was so furious that even the ice and snow could not suppress his anger.

"Crack!" The whip swung and hit one of them, causing the skin and flesh to rip open immediately.

The man gritted his teeth and didn't even hum.

"I'm going to attack you, okay, then think carefully about whether I'm collaborating with the enemy!"

"no!"

"No!" Several people said in unison, scattered in the cold wind, and the surroundings were shaking.

Shen Huaixin's eyes were on fire: "Okay, okay!"

He raised his hand and was about to crack the whip again, when suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

He looked back and saw three people and three horses galloping towards him like lightning in the cold light.

The leader is a man with a black horse and a black robe. The black cloak is floating like waves behind him, and the sword is looming at the side of his waist.

He was sitting on the horse, as steady as a rock. With a slight lift of the reins, he passed directly over the gate fence and landed easily in the military camp.

The soldiers guarding the door held up their spears and retreated instead of advancing. When they saw Huo Changhe clearly on the horse, they all changed their faces and did not dare to take another step forward.

Huo Changhe reined in the reins and sat on the horse. His cloak fell like a cloud behind him, and his voice was as leisurely as a gentle breeze.

"Shen Cheng's envoy is really strict in running the army. This camp is really defended like an iron barrel."

Shen Huaixin's face turned into a black pot: "..."

That's it? drum? You jumped in easily, what a damn bucket!

Shen Huaixin put away his whip and said with a smile: "The king of Zhennan has given you a compliment. Your Majesty is here. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

"Oh, look at the memory of this city's envoy. Now that the prince is guilty, I'm afraid he won't be able to give you advice."

Huo Changhe's expression did not change at all, he chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you give me advice or not. I don't care about such nonsense."

He leaned forward slightly: "I am here today. I really have something to ask for."

Shen Huaixin's eyes gleamed. Did he hear it correctly? Please?

Huo Changhe begged him?

The desire to win and lose suddenly exploded, stronger than ever before.

"What does the prince ask of me?"

Yan Ruyu was outside the railing, smiling imperceptibly at the corner of her mouth. Shen Huaixin was too narrow-minded and too conceited. How could such a person compare with Huo Changhe?

Huo Changhe sighed: "Envoy Shen Cheng didn't know something. Governor Cao gave me a difficult problem."

"what?"

Shen Huaixin didn't realize it himself. He was always talking to Huo Changhe with his head held high and looking up.

Huo Changhe slightly held the reins: "The governor Cao asked me to suppress the bandits. This should be the business of the city envoy, but Cao assassinated him but he was not assigned to me. As the city envoy said, I am now a guilty person. , Where will the people come to suppress the bandits? There is no one in the governor's office, so I have no choice but to ask the city envoy to borrow a few people."

Shen Huaixin was startled, then gave a short laugh: "Your Majesty is asking the envoy of this city to borrow someone? Did I hear that right?"

"Of course not. It is the duty of Envoy Shen Cheng to protect the people of Youcheng. Although I need to obey the governor's deployment now, I can't refuse. If I don't go, this job will still fall on Envoy Shen Cheng. ?”

"But, since I have just arrived, I still don't want to cause trouble to Governor Cao, and Ambassador Shen Cheng doesn't want to spread the news about bandits in the surrounding villages, right?"

"I remember that at this time in previous years, some tribesmen from outside the customs would sneak in and burn and loot everywhere. Could this group of gangsters be them?"

Shen Huaixin gritted his teeth secretly, hating that Huo Changhe had been at the border for many years and knew many things well.

Huo Changhe smiled: "It's okay if you don't want to borrow it. Then I will go to Shencheng to borrow it. I think I can borrow it too."

He picked up the reins and wanted to leave, but Shen Huaixin said: "Slow down!"

If he is allowed to go to Shencheng, there is no doubt that there will be any trouble. Wouldn't that be like letting the tiger return to the mountain?

Shen Huaixin forced a smile: "The envoy from this city can borrow them. I wonder how many people the prince wants to borrow?"

"I heard that the city envoy has an elite force with about five hundred people?"

Shen Huaixin's temples bulged several times, wishing he could tear Huo Changhe off his horse.

Elite, five hundred people, how dare he open his mouth!

"Is your lord drunk too much? Five hundred elite soldiers are going to suppress the bandits?"

Huo Changhe sighed: "I have not led troops for a long time, and the troops I am leading are Shen Cheng envoy's troops. I have to be safer, don't you think?"

Shen Huaixin's eyes rolled around, and the deputy general behind him stepped forward and whispered: 'My lord, no. ’

"He knows the number of your elite men from the first word. He is clearly well prepared. Who can tell clearly about the suppression of bandits? What if he deliberately loses some people?"

"It's not easy for you to train these many people!"

Shen Huaixin thought the same way. Huo Changhe was treacherous. If all his people were killed and damaged outside in the name of suppressing bandits, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

"So, what do you think?"

The deputy general glanced at the people tied up on the shelf: "In my opinion, it's better to give him the more than a hundred people. Anyway, they will be charged with the crime that was notified. The suppression of the bandits was successful, and it will not be possible to punish them when they come back." Chi, the credit is also yours."

"If it doesn't work...those gangsters are fierce and they deserve to die."

Shen Huaixin nodded: "It makes sense."
