The general will eat grass

The Ninth Prince's equestrian skills are not very good. After they ran out of Ganzhou City, he sat on the grain and grass carriage behind the team, rubbed his thighs, and stared at Zhao Yuansong, who was talking and laughing, "Hey, Yuansong, come here, Do you mind leaving me here alone?" He carefully avoided Feng Jingde's gaze, thinking that he sometimes gave people a scary impression.

Zhao Yuansong had no choice but to separate from the male god and ride in the carriage with the Ninth Prince, acting as a wooden mound for pressing grain and grass.

"Yuan Song, did the scouts come to report what happened after Ganzhou? In the end, what did you say to the governor of Ganzhou? I think he lost his eyes from laughing."

Zhao Yuansong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Jiu Ye, the tail behind us is indeed coming for us, but it has been captured by the Ganzhou commander. As for me and the Ganzhou prefect before leaving, it was nothing more than a 'business'. "

"what?"

"The word 'profit' comes first, and 'profit' for officials is nothing more than merit. I just told him that natural disasters came and the people appeared, and the emperor was angry about it. He kept the refugees out of the city and opened warehouses at every order. Food disaster relief, although reasonable, is not timely. People in the inspectorate are everywhere. If he thinks wrong for a while, he is likely to be slack in public office by someone with a heart. So, he must be able to "make a big splash" to help the people and promote the emperor. Love the people like a child's heart, maybe it will please the emperor."

"So simple?"

"That's right, it's that simple. After all, Master Nine, you are the emperor's favorite. You can go out of Beijing this time because you 'figured out' the emperor's mind." Zhao Yuansong blinked, implying that the prefect of Ganzhou thought so.

The Ninth Prince was stunned for a moment, looked around and asked in a low voice: "Yuan Song, do you think there are really inspectors in our army?"

Zhao Yuansong also lowered his voice: "What do you think?" With the emperor's suspicious nature, it would be no wonder that he could easily send them out and not let people follow him to monitor him!

The Ninth Prince sighed helplessly, "All right."

When he came out this time, the little fat man shouted that it was to make the third prince unhappy.But in fact, he really wanted to do his job well so that His Majesty the Emperor would treat him differently.However, the opportunity he managed to win did not get his father's full support, and he put someone beside him to watch his every move, which made him feel untrusted.

Zhao Yuansong comforted: "Don't think too much, Your Majesty..."

"Report!" There was a galloping horse in front of him. The soldier on the horse had a scarf on his head, a black flag on his waist, and a three-foot arrow hanging on his saddle. It was a scout.He reined in his horse and stopped abruptly, turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt down in front of Feng Jingde, cupped his fists and said: "General, there are a large number of refugees in front, a rough estimate is that there are thousands of people."

There is no difference between a hungry refugee seeing grain and silver and a hungry wolf seeing a rabbit. Feng Jingde leads people to report to the Ninth Prince, and suggests hiding the grain and silver carts first.

The Ninth Prince nodded: "It's all up to the general's arrangement." He couldn't help but mutter in Zhao Yuansong's ear: "How come I met so many refugees along the way!"

Zhao Yuansong looked at Feng Jingde, and they all felt very strange.The appearance of a large number of refugees can only show that the disaster ahead is more serious, or that the Huns have already taken the opportunity to go south.

Zhao Yuansong decided to leave a secret letter to Ma Hong at night, asking him to go to Yanzhou to check first.

In the capital, the third master concubine had nothing to do, so he invited some friends to play in the Huanyue Building.

Since their secret guard identities were revealed, he and Zhao Yuansong have changed from uncles and nephews to masters and servants, and they have been a little embarrassed to meet since then.The third concubine did not expect Zhao Yuansong to ignore the past and assign him a task. Although it was just a small looking after business, it was enough to prove Zhao Yuansong's acceptance of him.

The main store of Huanyue Building on Ping'an Avenue was full of people, and there was a long line of people. The friends of the third master repeatedly confirmed to him, can they really go directly into the building?The shop assistants there are all tough, so it doesn't matter what the status of the customer is, as long as they break their rules, they will directly disgrace them.

"Don't worry, let's enter through the back door, you just follow me." The third master ordered: "But, after this, don't say that I can take you in."

Everyone nodded and smiled: "Understood, I understand, Brother Zhao, don't worry." These people have a lot of face, and they can only rely on these people if they want to restrain Mr. Jiang from doing bad things.

Walking around to the Liuxu alley where there were no people, the third concubine entered the back door of the Huanyue Building, followed the shop assistants around, and came to the front hall on the second floor.The friends looked around, and suddenly pointed to the moon-white figure behind a screen of gauze curtains, and said softly: "Look, there is a small official here, so beautiful."

Everyone searched and looked, and there was a handsome young man with pink cheeks and red lips, his eyes were soft and soft, and he nodded and looked up, with a different style.Everyone was attracted by him, and saw that his sallow fingers were slightly raised, he gently picked up the wine glass on the table, and handed it to his lips, his red lips parted slightly, his little tongue stuck out, quickly dipped into the wine glass, then retracted, There is a sparkle on the red lips.

Gudong, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva. "Hey, Xiao Er, who is that person?" A friend immediately stopped the shop assistant leading the way and asked.

The shop clerk looked sideways and shook his head: "I don't know, this young master is also a customer."

"Look, there are other people with him." Another friend pointed to a long leg hidden behind the gauze curtain. Judging from the complicated patterns on the hem of the clothes and the style of the shoes, the man must be either rich or expensive.

"Oh, I can only take a look, let's go." A friend greeted, seeing that the third master was still squinting at the person behind the gauze curtain, he stretched out his hand and tugged on the sleeve of the third master: "Brother Zhao, Zhao Brother?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's go." Third Master Shu suppressed the shock in his heart, and followed his friends into the private room prepared for them.

That handsome young man gave Third Master Shu such a sense of familiarity that he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.Also, just at a glance, he saw a man hidden behind the veil, only showing his long legs.On his hands on his knees, he wore a Qilin Mocui finger ring.If the information he got was correct, the person with the finger puller was Prince Pingnan.

In the Marquis of Changle, the marriage between Miss Zhao and Prince Pingnan's son is not a secret.Spring is approaching, and the emperor arranged the marriage after Princess Taihe got married for the sake of the safety of the capital.The son of King Pingnan has a special status. His grandfather and the old king of Zhenbei were conferred the title of side-by-side king by the Tai-zu. Their vassal land has autonomy and they don't have to pay taxes to the court at all, which has left serious troubles for the current emperor. .

The king of the vassals is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict.Because of this rule, Prince Pingnan didn't have to be present when he married his bride.Of course, if he wants to express the importance he attaches to the bride and wants to come and marry him in person, he has to write a report in advance and wait for the emperor to approve the number of accompanying guards.

The third concubine guessed that Prince Pingnan's son came to Beijing secretly this time, what purpose does he have?Do you want to inform Eunuch Li to know?

With such doubts in mind, Third Master Shu and his friends went back to Changle Hou Mansion to ask Grandma Hua.Granny Hua's cloudy eyes moved slowly, and finally fixed her eyes on the wooden fish in front of her, "Report to Li Yi, hehe, do you Zhao Shouli have this ability?" After being transferred away, can you break into the palace at night? Ah~ tell me, what else can you do? Hahaha, we can’t do anything, we are just servants Li Yi and the others brought in to guard Zhao Yuansong!"

Granny Hua waved away the wooden fish in front of her, got up and rushed towards the Third Master Shu, shouting, "It's all your fault, Zhao Shouli! Why should you give the Jilan Jade to him? Why! I'm also a member of the Xuanyuan royal family, I Why can't you be the master of those people, why?"

"Aniang, calm down." Grandma Hua is usually quite sober, and the third master controlled her scratching hands, trying to bring her back to her senses: "Didn't we agree at the beginning, for the safety of the little master, Ji Lan The emerald is temporarily kept by Auntie."

"Calm down, how do you tell me to be calm? Ma Liu has been transferred, who else can we use to avenge? Ah? Tell me, what is our forbearance for so many years?" Grandma Hua didn't listen, her expression became more and more crazy, The third concubine almost couldn't catch her.

"Aniang, calm down, we will avenge ourselves!"

"Report by yourself? Hahaha, it's not that Zhao Shouli looks down on you, you report one for me to see! You coward, when I asked you to take Jilan Jade to find Bai Ba to ask for poison-medicine, you didn't dare, or I personally That old thing Zhao Zongshen was poisoned to death. Hmph, Zhao Shouli, why do you think I want you! If you weren't my own, I would have strangled you to death long ago!" Grandma Hua said viciously, with cloudy eyes Crazy flashes.

Grandma Hua punished her heart with every word, and the third master's heart was riddled with blood, but it still hurts.Extremely sad and angry, his eyes were red, he pushed away the crazy Grandma Hua, and growled: "Enough, it is my own father you want me to kill!"

"What kind of father is he? If it weren't for him, I would have been a member of Xuanyuan Longji long ago. It's all him, and it's all his fault!"

The third master concubine endured the beatings and insults from his mother since he was a child, but now seeing his mother insane, he finally broke out: "Mother, don't be attached to things that don't belong to you!"

"Things that don't belong to me, yes, everything doesn't belong to me. No, no, go get Ma Liu back quickly and order him to kill Xuanyuan Longji, go quickly, go quickly, I have to If you don't get to him, no one can get it." Grandma Hua got up from the ground, grabbed Third Master Shu and ordered: "Zhao Shouli, if you are disobedient, don't even try to keep your wife and daughter, you go to me quickly!"

"Aniang, wake up, they are already dead, you don't need to threaten me with them again!" Third Master Shu half knelt down, looked deeply into Grandma Hua's eyes, and asked, "Aniang, tell me , Why did you give birth to me in the first place?"

Grandma Hua was stunned for a moment, then giggled and said with a strange smile: "Of course it is to anger that bitch Sha! He, Zhao Zongshen, can let his concubine kill his wife, so he can allow it a second time, but who would have thought that you, a disgraceful You can't even protect your own wife and daughter. Oh, yes, your wife and daughter were killed by Zhao Guoshi long ago. Zhao Guoshi is the current Mrs. Hou. Hahaha, you are going to take revenge, go find her Ah! Useless thing, you have been bullied since you were a child, and you will only look for A Niang."

Third Master Shu closed his eyes in pain, let go of Grandma Hua, staggered up and left.He also wants to live out his own self, and wants to be tough, but he has a controlling aunt who doesn't listen to her, and all he has to do is beat and scold him.The third master concubine felt that in A Niang's eyes, everything his son did was wrong, and he shouldn't even exist.

The Third Master Shu, who was running around, did not see Grandma Hua sitting on the ground, and a gleam of clarity flashed in his eyes.

In the dark night, the third concubine rushed out of Grandma Hua's small courtyard and stopped under the banyan tree next to the hanging flower gate, slowly calming down.He smiled wryly, and murmured: "I've been hurt so many times, why haven't I given up yet!"

At this moment, a figure hurried past in front of the vertical flower door, the profile of that person was actually the handsome young man he saw in the Huanyue Building.

Who is this man?Why does it look so familiar?What is the relationship between him and Prince Nan?

The third master concubine thought for a while and followed quietly.
