The general will eat grass

Zhao Yuansong returned home with the good news that Feng Jingde could lead troops to Puyang County, but was invited by Steward Wang to go to Princess Dingguo's home. "Mother is angry and sick? Uncle Wang, what's going on?"

Steward Wang said angrily: "It's not Ms. Feng! A few days ago, she clearly disapproved of the marriage arranged by the madam for her at the Qing family of Honghe Temple. Yesterday, the madam invited Mrs. Honglu Temple to have a banquet at the mansion to make amends. But Miss Feng suddenly ran out and said she agreed to marry her. She made such a fuss, as if Madam was deliberately treating her harshly and oppressing her. Madam is kind and doesn't care about her children. Today, I asked Madam Honglu to go to Baima Temple to get married. It is auspicious day. The appointment date has also been fixed, but this Miss Feng is going crazy, and after hearing what Madam said, she left a book and ran away!"

"Is she running away from marriage?"

"That's right, Madam fainted from anger when she saw the book left. The commander-in-chief is also furious, and has already asked Master Yanting to lead people to chase after him."

Zhao Yuansong frowned, not understanding what Feng Cuier was thinking.Is there any benefit to her if she loses the face of the duke's mansion and ruins her own reputation?

Zhao Yuansong stepped into the middle hall of the main house, greeted everyone, and found that Wan's complexion was very bad, he glanced at it, went to Feng Jingde and asked about the situation of Mrs. Ding Guogong, and heard that Doctor Bai had been invited, so he calmed down a little Heart.After a while, there was a cry of surprise from the girl in the bedroom, so that the lady woke up.

Everyone raised their hearts, and then put them back into their stomachs.Doctor Bai said that Mrs. Dingguo is in a hurry, and she can't work hard in the near future, and needs to rest for a few days.Mrs. Dingguo was really hurt. She couldn't speak up and felt powerless. She recruited the children and began to arrange the affairs of the mansion. She planned to hand over all the business in the mansion to Zhao Yuansong.

Wan's already dark face became even darker, and the hands holding Jingyi's baby tightened involuntarily, and the baby cried out with a wow.

Everyone looked back at her, and she immediately coaxed the baby with distress: "Jing Yi, be good, don't cry, grandma is fine. Look, grandma is looking at you, it's fine." Then she raised her face and explained to everyone: "This child sees you Mother is sick and must have been terrified."

Zhao Yuansong withdrew his gaze, knelt in front of Mrs. Dingguo's bed, and gently held her hand, wondering: "Mother, I'm afraid the child will disappoint you, and I can't take over the family property for the time being." He told the palace in detail. The family members finally said: "My son is indeed afraid of the Tiangang Army when he sees the emperor's attitude, and I hope you can arrange for them to shed their armor and return to farming as soon as possible."

Hearing that he was reactivated, Feng Jingde looked at Zhao Yuansong with deep eyes.He didn't take Zhao Yuansong's words seriously that day, and he didn't expect that he would actually help him fulfill his wish.Feng Jingde's heart throbbed again. After being with Zhao Yuansong, he was always moved.

Ding Guogong saw that his old wife was fine, so he asked Zhao Yuansong and his sons to go to the study for a detailed discussion.Mrs. Dingguo sighed, and turned to look at the Wan family who stayed behind, "In that case, this small seal will be kept by you for the time being. You should worry about the affairs of the mansion during this time."

Wan Shi knelt down excitedly: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will definitely be careful."

Mrs. Dingguo let out another long sigh, and waved her to leave.She asked herself how she devoted herself to Feng Cui'er, but she did not expect that she would be a heartless person, not only humiliating her in front of Mrs. Qing of Honglu Temple, but also digging the face of Duke Dingguo into the mud.Her son and daughter-in-law had never been angry with her, but she never expected to be so angry with this girl when she was old.

"Jing Yi, what do you want to eat, mother will buy it for you." Wan Shi walked out of the main courtyard with Jing Yi in his arms, with a smile on his face, and his attitude changed very quickly.

She was also pissed off before, she let Feng Cuier bad reputation, she wanted her to seduce Feng Jingde, but she didn't expect her brains to be eaten by a dog, and she resorted to tricks of cheating and escaping marriage.She didn't even think about it, how could Feng Jingde have anything to do with such a disturbance, let alone being a concubine for others, this time they probably won't even have to be serious relatives.

April is the time when willow catkins are flying, but there are still uncultivated streams in the north, and the temperature is a season worse than that in Kyoto.It was the first time for the Ninth Prince to lead an errand out of Beijing. In the luxurious carriage, he opened the curtain to look at the scenery with great interest.

The third prince clashed with the disaster victims in Puyang County, which aroused people's resistance and began to rebel against the imperial court.The Ninth Prince brought a hundred personal guards and two thousand soldiers to support them. They rushed across Liangshan, Jinzhou, stayed overnight in the small town of Fengkou, and rushed to a small river for repairs at noon.

The Ninth Prince jumped out of the carriage, saw Feng Jingde led the troops to patrol the surroundings, and immediately went to Zhao Yuansong's side: "Yuansong, I let you ride with me in the carriage and talk with me, why don't you agree?"

Zhao Yuansong untied the cloth bag from the saddle, took out the oiled paper bag from inside, and handed it to the Ninth Prince: "Ninth Prince, although we are both men, sometimes we have to talk about whether we can accept it or not."

The Ninth Prince smelled the smell of roasted chicken, so he didn't care to get angry, he opened the oiled paper bag, held the roasted chicken and gnawed.He said vaguely: "By the way, you are a married man, no wonder General Changying stares at me from time to time!" They marched for days, and they didn't eat well all the way. Zhao Yuansong prepared roast chicken for him, which really moved him.The Ninth Prince asked casually, "Where did you buy this roast chicken?"

"Fengkou Town." Ma Hong bought the roast chicken.

Ma Hong is one of the hidden guards left by Zhao Yuansong's aunt. He is the most powerful in martial arts. He has been staying in the Marquis Mansion of Changle to monitor Aunt Hua and listen to the news in the mansion.It is very dangerous to go to Puyang County, the little Wu Gong was sent to Xiyi, and Feng Jingde could not bring Dingguo Duke's mansion with him.Seeing that Feng Jingde was really worried about him, Zhao Yuansong dispatched Ma Hong to secretly protect him.

This time the Ninth Prince was the commander, Feng Jingde was the commander, leading the soldiers transferred from the Fuguo General.The Ninth Prince doesn't understand military affairs, Feng Jingde has to manage many things by himself.In order to reassure him, Zhao Yuansong also took a lot of wound medicine from Doctor Bai, and transferred dozens of small sepak takraw balls from Feng Jingyan for his self-protection.

"Well, it's quite fragrant." The Ninth Prince gnawed until his mouth was full of oil, and he clicked, biting something, and he screamed in pain.

The eunuch next to the Ninth Prince panicked and called the military doctor. Zhao Yuansong went over to look and found a small bamboo tube engraved with three-leaf fire lotus in the chicken's belly. He put it into his sleeve pocket without any trace. "Master Jiu, are you okay?"

"Woo, I seem to have bitten a chicken bone, it hurts so much."

Liu Yong glared at Zhao Yuansong, blaming him for feeding the Ninth Prince indiscriminately. "Your Highness, let's not eat this anymore, let's have a golden silk cake."

The Ninth Prince glanced at the roast chicken in Zhao Yuansong's hands. Although his teeth hurt, he still wanted to chew on it, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

Zhao Yuansong couldn't laugh or cry, and returned the roast chicken to him.Liu Yong was not happy, and frequently threw his eyes at Zhao Yuansong.Zhao Yuansong ignored him, and when he saw Feng Jingde coming over, he gave him a wink, and hid behind him to see the contents of the bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube should have been put by Ma Hong. Zhao Yuansong took out the note inside to check it. It said that Mr. Jiang had just returned to Beijing. He heard about Jiang Guifei and the third prince and sent people to stop them.

Zhao Yuansong snorted in disgust, and showed Feng Jingde the note.Feng Jingde frowned after reading it, and called scouts to check if anyone was following him.

"Cough, what, what's the matter?" Seeing them like this, the Ninth Prince immediately became nervous as he stopped eating the chicken.

Zhao Yuansong walked up to him and said with a comforting smile, "It's nothing, it seems like we have a tail behind us."

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yuansong shrugged: "Some people think we are not pleasing to the eye, so they just come here to wait for the opportunity. Don't be nervous, Master Jiu. The Vajra clothes you are wearing are so densely woven that arrows can't penetrate them."

The Ninth Prince: "...." You haven't been comforted at all!

Liu Yong called out the head of the Ninth Prince's bodyguard to come over, "Quick, be careful of assassins, strengthen the guard."

The chief guard was taken aback by what he said, looked around, and then at Zhao Yuansong.

Zhao Yuansong gave him a helpless look, and explained: "My people sent a letter saying that we seem to be being followed. In the afternoon, we will pass Yanbei Gorge, which is known as 'a line of sky'. This kind of terrain is most afraid of being ambushed. The command has sent scouts to investigate, if there is something abnormal, we have to change our route."

When the head of the personal guard heard him talking about his people, he was not too surprised. Those who come from aristocratic families always have several people around them to protect them.Although the emperor didn't let Feng Jingde bring his own people, but based on the relationship between Zhao Yuansong and the Ninth Prince, it doesn't matter if they bring a few, not to mention that they didn't put people in front of them, these big soldiers would just turn a blind eye and close their eyes .

At this time, Feng Jingde came back and said: "It seems that we have to detour to Ganzhou."

The head of the personal guard: "Is it true that you are being followed?"

Feng Jingde: "I'm not sure. The scouts said that the group of people dressed as peddlers is two miles away from us. To be on the safe side, let's take a different route." As we all know, many places ahead have been affected by disasters, and peddlers will not be doing business for the time being. But this group of people went the other way. Of course, it doesn't rule out that their hometown is just ahead.

"Ganzhou? No way, my second brother's power over there." The Ninth Prince wiped off the oil under Liu Yong's service.The Ninth Prince was a little jealous of the Second Prince, because the Second Prince was the most powerful person in the court other than the Prince.

The second prince was calm and steady in situations, and won the support of ministers from poor families in the court.The third prince had an accident, and the ministers preferred him to lead troops to rescue him, and the second prince expressed his determination to the emperor.Going out this time means fame and military power.But no one expected that the Ninth Prince jumped out to vent his anger on A Niang, and the Second Prince was furious. He told the Emperor that the uprising of refugees in Puyang was related to people's livelihood and the country. The child is going to mess around.When was the emperor scolded by the juniors, he became angry on the spot, and loudly reprimanded the second prince for wooing officials, eager for quick success.

The second prince made a faceless mess, and when he was practicing for the ninth prince, he had a black face all the way, and stared at the ninth prince very fiercely, which made the ninth prince's heart tremble wildly.It was only then that the Ninth Prince realized that his actions were very inappropriate, and he accidentally made it clear that he wanted to compete with his brothers.However, the little fat man didn't have such ambitions, he just wanted to take advantage of this incident to suppress the third prince, so as to save him from bullying himself in the future and making his mother worry.

He is well aware of the tricks of the imperial brothers. He offended the second prince this time, and he feels that the second prince will definitely not make him feel better.Ganzhou is not too far from Kyoto, and homing pigeons go back and forth every half a day.The more the Ninth Prince thought about it, the more worried he became, his face suddenly wrinkled into a bun.

Feng Jingde glanced darkly at the Ninth Prince, and said indifferently: "If you don't go to Ganzhou, if you pass the 'line of the sky', you may be plotted against by someone. If the villain succeeds, you can pretend to be a refugee and evacuate."

The Ninth Prince was so frightened that he unconsciously hid from Zhao Yuansong.

Zhao Yuansong comforted softly: "Don't worry, the second prince is your elder brother, he just scares you."

The Ninth Prince nodded slightly.

Before departure, Zhao Yuansong returned a note to Feng Hong, asking him to arrange for the third master Shu to take care of the Huanyue Building secretly.He had entrusted Li Yuanxing before, but now that the spring is approaching, he needs to concentrate on taking the exam and doesn't have much time.In desperation, Zhao Yuansong found the third concubine who was also a dude.The dandy has a relatively wide circle of people, and can talk a few words with people in the powerful circle, such as disputes, it is easier to resolve some conflicts with dandy methods.Alas, it's just that their relationship is quite awkward now. If Mr. Jiang hadn't returned to Beijing, Zhao Yuansong wouldn't have asked him for help.

They changed their route to Ganzhou, and finally entered Puyang County from Yanzhou. The distance increased, and they had to speed up their march if they wanted to reach the front line within the specified time.When they hurried to Ganzhou, they were stopped outside the city by the tall black city gate.

The Ninth Prince cried and said with a sad face: "Look, I said that the second brother will trouble me!"
