Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

The eighth prince looked at the third prince, blinked twice, and then suddenly said:

"It seems like you, too, are short-tongued."

"Fuck you!"

The third prince raised his hand to deal with the eighth prince, but found that Princess Lizhao was between them.

The eighth prince smiled mischievously and used Princess Luzhao as a shield for himself, looking at the embarrassed look on the third prince's face.

"Okay, okay, two royal brothers, stop making trouble."

Princess Ankang reluctantly comforted the two.

Among all the brothers and sisters, these two are the most difficult to deal with. There is never a time when they meet without quarreling.

The third prince snorted coldly, put away his hand, and then said:

"I'm just telling the truth."

"I have been in the military before and didn't know much about Ankang, but in the past few months, I have seen it clearly."

"Whether you were hiding your clumsiness before or whether you had other opportunities, I am just not as good as you now."

After the third prince finished speaking, he took a big sip of tea and then fell silent.

His words also touched the heartstrings of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, making them think a lot.

"Hmph, you guys..."

The Eighth Prince smiled proudly, pointed at a circle of people, then smiled and said to Princess Luzhao:

"Not counting the Second Emperor Sister, you have been away cultivating before."

After the Eighth Prince finished explaining to Princess Lu Zhao, his expression changed again and he said proudly:

"You guys are short-sighted, that is, I have a keen eye to recognize heroes and cherish heroes, so that I can play together with Ankang."

"Hahaha."

The eighth prince smiled proudly.

After all, Princess Ankang is awesome, and he, as a starling, has a bright face.

Several other people shook their heads and ignored the eighth prince's words.

However, Princess Luzhao couldn't help but look at Princess Ankang a few more times.

Princess Ankang is indeed the biggest variable since she returned to the palace this time.

Jingyang Palace, which had no sense of existence before, suddenly became a presence that no one in the palace could ignore.

And the more Princess Luzhao got to know Princess Ankang, the more inscrutable she became.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Princess Ankang just smiled sheepishly.

Then she brought the topic that had gone off track back onto the right track.

"I wonder what the royal brothers and sisters think of my father's southern tour this time?"

Several people were shocked, finally knowing why Princess Ankang held a banquet tonight.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince looked at each other, and then realized that everyone else was also looking at them.

Among the people present, their stance was the most vacillating.

On one side is the identity of the royal heir, and on the other side is the family of the mother-in-law and concubine who have come together with King Zheng.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this southern tour is a further escalation of the conflict between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng.

Regardless of the outcome of the southern tour, the two sides will only become more incompatible.

At that time, everyone needs to make their own choice.

Even the princes and heirs like them are no exception.

Xungui has always stood with Emperor Yongyuan, so the third and eighth princes have no other concerns.

It was impossible for them to get together with King Zheng who was dedicated to supporting civil servants.

Their mother-in-law's family would not agree with this at first.

At least, judging from the current situation, there is no opportunity for reconciliation between civil servants and nobles for the time being.

And the conflict will continue for a long time in the future.

Unless an opportunity arises to break the deadlock.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince also knew what Princess Ankang wanted to ask.

The fourth prince nodded slightly to the eldest prince.

"Ankang, although the southern tour only lasted a few days, we can see the results."

The eldest prince spoke slowly.

"We also didn't expect that the situation outside the capital would be so bad."

The eldest prince looked a little sad.

After all, most of the officials in charge of local areas are from their civilian lineage.

After coming out and seeing it, they realized that many things were different from what they had heard before.

Their grandfather, the current head of the Zhang family, is still in the capital to maintain the operation of the imperial court, Zhang Zhixian.

He used to always tell the two brothers that there is a general plan for governing a country and a general strategy for planning enemies. You must have a big-picture view and not be too limited to details.

But when you come out and see it, these so-called details are related to each and every living life.

They have always been educated to regard the common people as a number and a resource, just like a load of grain and a war horse.

I have never realized that the common people are also living people like them.

But the attack in Jinghou County shook the brothers' world.

People die too hastily and unreasonably.

The brothers had to wonder if something like this would happen to them too.

Even though they are what people call noble people, they are not equally powerless when faced with beings who can also crush them.

Attachment can bring a sense of security, but it also deprives one of the ability to be autonomous.

The feeling of being dependent on someone else is so unsettling.

"Perhaps there are indeed some issues that have to be changed."

The eldest prince hesitated for a while and said this.

Princess Ankang looked happy, and others also looked surprised.

They didn't know why the eldest prince and the fourth prince were shaken.

But their wavering is a good thing.

The two are an important link between the Zhang family and the Daxing royal family, and their fluctuations will greatly affect the Zhang family's future decisions.

Unless the Zhang family is determined to follow King Zheng to make a big bet, they cannot ignore the attitude of the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

After all, the two of them are also two important trump cards of the Zhang family.

The fourth prince on the side also nodded silently and echoed the eldest prince.

"Since the two royal brothers think so, we must complete the task assigned by our father in the future."

"Ankang will use tea instead of wine to toast the royal brothers and sisters and wish us a successful completion of the task!"

After that, Princess Ankang took the lead in drinking the tea in front of her.

The others smiled slightly and toasted together.

No matter what they had done before, at least they now have a short-term common interest.

This also laid the foundation for their future cooperation.

After eating and drinking, and talking smoothly, several people went back to their rooms to rest.

Tomorrow they will continue to travel until the imperial edict of Emperor Yongyuan to them is conveyed, and then they can join the team on the southern tour.

While they were acting separately, the team on the southern tour would speed up, shorten the scheduled schedule, and only stop at a few necessary places.

According to Shang Zongguan, the situation in these places was more complicated and could not be solved by an imperial edict, so Emperor Yongyuan had to go there in person.

The counties that were assigned to Princess Ankang and her team were all small-scale counties with irrefutable evidence.

Otherwise, it was not impossible that some masters were hidden in some prosperous places.

Especially these corrupt officials, who had done countless bad things, naturally had to spend more money to hire some powerful guards to save their lives.

Although the possibility of blatantly disobeying the imperial edict or even resisting by force was not high, it was still necessary to be on guard.

Otherwise, if something went wrong with several of their sensitive identities during the southern tour, it would be troublesome.

No words were spoken overnight.

They assembled the team early the next morning and prepared to set off.

The streets of the county were in a mess, and it seemed that there was a carnival yesterday.

The newly appointed officials saw Princess Ankang and others off.

Since it was still early, the whole Lantian County was still quiet.

They rode on the streets of Lantian County, and the bustle of yesterday seemed to be just a dream, making people feel dazed.

Lantian County is not large in scale, it is a small county town, but there are many fertile fields suitable for farming around it, so it is also prosperous, and many people have settled here.

All the way to the city gate, the heads of Fang Datong and others were hanging high there, attracting attention.

Anyone who enters and leaves the city gate can see these eye-catching heads.

Princess Ankang and others came to the city gate tower, and immediately a flowery eunuch performed light skills, went up and took Fang Datong's head off, put it in a prepared wooden box and took it away.

These heads were specially treated before being hung high for public display, which can ensure that they will not rot for several months.

With Fang Datong's head, their mission in Lantian County was successfully completed.

"Okay, you'll be sent here."

"Remember, take good care of the people of Lantian County for Daxing."

"I don't want to take your heads one day."

Princess Ankang said lightly.

But the newly appointed officials were awed and did not dare to be careless.

"Your Highness's teachings are engraved in our hearts."

None of them dared to look down on the young girl in front of them.

Although they had not been in contact with Princess Ankang for a long time, they had already been convinced by the various methods they had used before.

Especially, the treatment of Fang Datong and others was clean and neat, and a good show was played in front of the people of Lantian County, winning many people's hearts.

In this way, their next work will be much smoother.

Princess Ankang waved her hand indifferently, knowing that a few words could not restrain people's hearts.

She just said it today, so that they would not blame her for not reminding them.

Princess Ankang immediately turned her horse's head and led the team out of the city.

Out of the city gate, the official road was in front of them.

But on both sides of the official road, some people actually gathered.

"Your Highness!"

"It's Your Highness the Princess!"

They shouted excitedly when they saw the team leaving the city.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen from the east mountain, and the sky was only slightly bright.

But these people had been waiting here for some time.

There were not many people, just a few dozen people.

They were old and young, and they looked at Princess Ankang with particularly kind eyes.

Seeing someone, the team quickly slowed down, fearing that they would bump into the people.

The people rushed towards the team, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes subconsciously isolated the crowd.

When they saw the alert eunuchs in flowery clothes, they also realized that something was wrong and stopped their excited steps.

There was an old man in front, who couldn't even walk well, and was helped to the front by someone.

"Your Highness, we are here to see you off."

"We don't have anything good to offer you, but we have gathered some dry food, which may help you on your journey."

The old man spoke a little awkwardly, as if he had prepared his words for a long time, but he still stumbled.

Then the old man nervously took a large bag of dry food from behind him and presented it with both hands.

There was a distance between them because of the flowery eunuchs.

Princess Ankang's nose was slightly sour when she saw the old man's skinny body and dark hands.

The flowery eunuchs did not act rashly, and continued to block the crowd, but looked at Princess Ankang, waiting for her instructions.

Princess Ankang immediately rode forward and waved to the eunuchs in flowery clothes to make way.

She reached out to take the dry food, then bowed and thanked:

"Old man, thank you for your dry food, it's enough for me to eat for a while on the road."

The old man saw Princess Ankang accept it, and then he put away his nervousness and smiled simply.

"Your Highness, you are too polite."

"We should thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid all of us would die with regrets."

Seeing Princess Ankang's doubtful look, the old man smiled and explained:

"We all have blood feuds with the people hanging on the top of the city, and there was no hope of revenge."

"We watched at the city gate all night last night, but we still couldn't see enough."

The old man's smile made Princess Ankang feel uncomfortable.

Li Xuan took the opportunity to stand up and put his head into the bag of dry food.

"Big pancakes, dried meat, dried vegetables..."

"Hey, there are dried fish."

Li Xuan sniffed with his nose and picked up a dried fish to taste.

The dried fish was made from unknown small river fish that were dried in the sun. It was only the size of a finger. Although it was harder to chew than the dried fish he usually ate, it also had a different kind of salty and fresh taste. The more you chewed, the more fragrant it became.

Li Xuan was mainly to identify whether it was poisonous, not just because he was greedy.

When you go out, you must be on guard against others.

But after his identification, this bag of dry food was fine, and the quantity was really quite large.

Big pancakes and dried vegetables were okay, but dried meat and dried fish were worth a lot to the people, and it was difficult for them to collect this portion of dry food.

They should have thought for a long time before they decided to give Princess Ankang a portion of dry food.

As for the others, judging from their clothes, they probably couldn't come up with anything better.

With the farewell of dozens of people, Princess Ankang and others set foot on the official road.

At this time, at the end of the official road, the morning sun just appeared, like an orange egg yolk.

The light of the morning sun was not dazzling, but it gave people enough warmth to sweep away the dampness and coldness of the morning dew for them.

There was a lot of dry food, and Princess Ankang asked Li Xuan to help him collect it.

She looked back and found that the people in front of the city gate had not dispersed yet, and they were holding their hands high and waving them gently.

This scene made Princess Ankang tighten the reins.

When she looked at the road ahead again, her eyes became more determined.

Princess Yan Zhao, who was on the side, had been observing Princess Ankang. After noticing her expression change, she couldn't help but say in her heart:

"Treating the people as children, saving disasters as if rotting hands, so the four seas are happy, and they all work together."

"Ankang is just the opposite of me, and is a temperament of practicing in the world."

"If she is here, maybe I can..."

Princess Yan Zhao fell into her own thoughts.

Not only Princess Yan Zhao, but others were also paying special attention to Princess Ankang.

It's just that they have different thoughts in their hearts, but they are all influenced to varying degrees by Princess Ankang.

And this influence may be the key opportunity to change the overall situation in the future.
