A house full of cannon fodder reads my mind. Who knows? I’m going crazy.

Before the emperor returned to the capital, Yan Bao took Brother Shen around the island and said it was a small island.

In fact, it's not small at all.

Yan Bao checked the flora and fauna here, as well as the climate, and counted the residents on the island. After he had a good idea, he knew that there was still a shortage of people on the island.

Yan Bao asked Brother Shen, apart from having children now, how can we increase the population?

Brother Shen: "You ask me who should I ask?"

Yan Bao: "..."

[Alas, I am a second brother with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and only Sister Yuanyuan doesn’t dislike me. 】

Brother Shen stared and almost defended himself. How could he have a simple mind and developed limbs?

He is so smart!

At this moment, Yan Bao felt that the emperor was too ruthless in ransacking all the houses. Before those family members were beheaded, Yan Bao immediately went to beg the emperor, flattering him, serving tea and water to the emperor, and beating his legs and shoulders.

The emperor felt very comfortable being pleased by her and asked, "Yan Bao wants something from me. As long as you ask, I will agree to it."

Yan Bao's eyebrows were filled with joy and he immediately showed the written note to the emperor. He looked at the emperor eagerly and expectantly, waiting for him to nod.

When the emperor saw Yan Bao's request, he almost couldn't stop smiling.

I regretted it!

I don't want to be slapped in the face!

Yan Bao, aren't you embarrassing me?

Yan Bao saw the emperor's little thoughts, and she took out another note and told how to solve the problem, which would not make the emperor break his promise, but also reflect the emperor's magnanimity and understanding.

After the emperor looked at it, his unhappiness disappeared with Yan Bao's flattering pinch on the shoulder.

"Okay, as Yan Bao said, I will make an exception for you this time, but I won't make an exception next time. I have no joke." The emperor warned.

Yan Bao smiled and nodded, thanking him again: [I won’t look for you next time, I’ll look for the Thirteenth Prince! 】

On that day, those criminals who had been sentenced to death received the latest imperial edict, saying that Princess Taining interceded for them and sent them to Taining Island to atone for their sins. They were sent to Taining Island that day.

The sinners who heard the news were greatly relieved and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, thanking Yan Bao, a princess with whom they had no connection, for standing up for them.

They all thought they would die.

The people Yan Bao begged for mercy were the family members, not those who followed the Dongshan King in rebellion. They should be beheaded as a warning to others.

At night, Yan Bao and the others were preparing to return to Beijing the next day. Yan Bao sensed something was wrong, went to the emperor and sent him a note. The important information written on it made the emperor's expression change: "Is this news reliable?"

Yan Bao nodded.

The emperor said: "Very good, I will deploy immediately. What do you think of your second brother staying?"

Yan Bao nodded: [Of course, sister Yuanyuan is still here. If those Japanese and pirates come ashore, Yuanyuan will also be in danger. My second brother is here to protect her. 】

[The two of them go back and forth, doesn’t this confirm their relationship? 】

【Such a good opportunity, don’t miss it! 】

The emperor also felt that it was right to let the second son of the Shen family get more experience. There were too few young generals at the moment, and the second son of Shen could train them up so that he could be used by Thirteen in the future. He could also be regarded as a capable general prepared for him by his father, the emperor.

As for whether I am afraid that relatives of the Shen family will be in power in the future.

Let’s take a step at a time and then talk about it.

Take advantage of it now if you can.

Brother Shen didn't expect that he would be left behind. He thought he would follow his master back to the court.

The good thing is that Brother Shen was promoted and performed outstandingly in defeating the King of Dongshan this time. The emperor saw it. As soon as the King of Dongshan died, he was promoted from a second lieutenant to a general who led 20,000 people.

The emperor took the others away, leaving only the 20,000 people in Brother Shen's hands and a dozen ships. They were deliberately hidden to give the impression that the emperor had taken everyone away.

On the tenth day after the emperor's army left, those watching at sea received news from the town's informants. They knew that the town now still had Taining Island, and its defense was lax, which was the best opportunity for robbery.

More than 20 boats took advantage of the darkness and quietly approached, intending to burn, kill, rob, and then escape out to sea, making it impossible for Dajin's people to catch them.

They landed quietly, but who knew that not long after they landed, they became the target of 20,000 soldiers. Five hundred people were not enough for Brother Shen and the others to practice their skills.

The pirate named Daye and the Japanese people did not expect that they would be shot on the beach before they even touched the common people. They thought they would return home with a lot of money, but in the end they died.

Brother Shen took stock of the Japanese pirates and took out his eyeliner.

People in the small town heard noises at night and were so frightened that they dared not move.

The second time they looked at the yellow sand dyed red with blood, and then looked at a corpse that served as a warning, the people were so scared that they did not dare to go to the beach.

Three days after the corpses were exposed to the public, the corpses of these Japanese pirates were all burned. Finally, when the tide came in, all their ashes were swept away.

Brother Shen is now a general of Ping Kou and has a station on Taining Island. Yan Bao asked them to train troops there.

Brother Shen didn't expect that almost everything Yan Bao predicted in his heart would come true. For example, he would really become a general.

Although there is still a big gap between him and a general, he has finally entered the ranks of a general.

.....

Yan Bao originally wanted to stay and see how her second brother killed the Japanese pirates, but the emperor did not allow it. He brought the people out, how could he leave them behind? If she ran to the sea alone, how could he help the Shen family? Talk to Thirteen.

The emperor disagreed, so Yan Bao had no choice but to return to the capital.

The emperor was too old to ride a fast horse, so it took him seven or eight days to reach the capital on his way back. He led the emperor's elite soldiers to the outside of the capital, and was greeted by hundreds of civil and military officials.

Thousands of people turned out to welcome the emperor back to Beijing.

Yan Bao saw the leader Shen Shoufu among the hundreds of officials and almost couldn't help but say hello.

After Shen Shoufu saluted, he glanced at the figure standing behind the emperor. He looked darker, taller, and seemed to have lost a lot of weight. This child had been out for two or three months and was very wild.

The emperor won the battle, solved a major issue on his mind, and was in a good mood.

When Xie Zhiluo came to greet him, the emperor smiled, helped him up, and patted his thin shoulder: "I haven't seen you for almost three months. The prince has grown a lot. How is everything in the capital?

Xie Zhiluo held up his hands and said, "If I go back to my father, everything is going well in the capital. My father will show off our country's prestige and be known to the world for his bravery and skill in fighting!"

The emperor laughed out loud at the compliment. Although he did not go to the battlefield in person, if he had not been on the battlefield personally, the soldiers would not have been inspired. They were all so brave that they beat the enemy to pieces.

The father and son complimented each other for a while, and when it was almost time, the emperor drove back to the palace.

Only then did Xie Zhiluo have the opportunity to look at Yan Bao a few more times.

When he saw Yan Bao before, he didn't dare to stay for long. He also found that Yan Bao was thinner, darker, and taller.

When Yan Bao saw Xie Zhiluo looking over, he smiled at him and congratulated: "I heard that Yan Bao has a small island, congratulations!"

Yan Bao smiled and nodded: [You can also go to the island to play when you have the opportunity in the future. It’s better not to go now. It hasn’t been built yet and there’s nothing interesting about it. 】

Xie Zhiluo added in his mind, OK!

Yan Bao looked at Xie Zhiluo, who had grown much taller, and raised his eyebrows: "Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few months. The Thirteenth Prince seems to have become more handsome again. He is becoming more and more handsome and handsome as he grew up. He must eat well to avoid becoming disabled." . 】

Xie Zhiluo: "!!!"

Long-term disability?

Yan Bao didn't know what he was saying in his heart, and he was so frightened that Xie Zhiluo had to eat two bowls of rice every meal. After eating so much, he was still tall and thin, and he only grew taller but not fatter.

Later, when I grew a beard, I felt disabled.

When I changed my voice, I felt disabled again.

That's called appearance anxiety.

Unfortunately, Yan Bao didn't know any of this.

It’s also a scam.
