Three quarters of an hour.

The day had just dawned, and the light broke through the darkness and returned to the earth, but the sun that brought the light had not yet risen from the eastern horizon, and only the yellow halo behind the white clouds could be vaguely seen.

Fifty thousand soldiers stood outside the north gate of Maojing, all in darkness.

As the battle flag whistled, on the solemn and ancient city gate was the king of Dayin.

The purple gold embroidered dragon hovered over the black clothes, and Emperor Hui stood there majestically and firmly with the crown on his head.

"Today, the Northwest Dog Army is surrounding the border city of Dayin to settle down. Their intentions are wrong, and their hearts can be punished. I have appointed General Lu Yue to lead the army. You must wholeheartedly obey General Lu's dispatch, and clean up the thieves for our Dayin. The family defends the country. I and the people are in Dayin, and in Maojing, you will return to the court after a big victory."

When Emperor Hui's oath to the army fell, the [-] troops shouted, "Defend the family and defend the country! Protect the family and defend the country! Protect the family and defend the country!"

At this moment, Song Zhuo was wearing cloth armor and standing in the army.

The voices of the soldiers were deafening, but Song Zhuo just shook the spear in his hand indifferently and looked in the direction of Emperor Hui.

The place where he was standing was about 500 meters away from the city gate. Emperor Hui was just a black and golden shadow in his eyes, but he still seemed to be able to see the aura that belonged exclusively to the superior from Emperor Hui.

In Song Zhuo's memory, he was Emperor Hui's favorite child in the first life. Although his mother died young, Emperor Hui always favored him, and he ignored the opposition of his officials when he was just over a year old. Make him, the third prince who is neither a direct descendant nor an eldest son, the heir apparent.

For this matter, the empress who gave birth to the first prince has always held a grudge.

Later, King Lian conspired against him, and the queen's family also contributed a lot.

Song Zhuo remembered that Emperor Hui had always doted on him, and Emperor Hui always looked like a loving father in front of him. Sometimes he even spoiled him too much, and he would be censored by the grand master.

Song Zhuo in the first life seemed to have never had the chance to see Emperor Hui with such an expression.

Alone, aloof, shouldering the world, majestic.

After the first Song Zhuo was buried in the flames of the Maojing Palace, when he saw Emperor Hui walking behind the ghost guard by the Naihe Bridge, he once asked Chu Sheng, "I know that people's life and death have a definite number, but why do they still feel uncomfortable? .”

Chu Sheng returned to him, "This is the first time you have been reincarnated as a human being, and it is also the first time you have experienced life and death. It is inevitable to have emotions. Moreover, Emperor Hui is too weak and stubborn. Sitting on the throne of Emperor Dayin for more than ten years has already taken advantage of other people's luck. Afterwards, Emperor Ming will lead the Dynasty of Dayin to a more prosperous and prosperous period, so don't worry about it any longer. In two hours you will be Entered the second reincarnation."

But even if there is no emperor's order, why let him ascend the throne? If he is just a lazy prince, can Emperor Hui live a few more years?

Fate, whose fate is it?And by whom?

The emperor is already a dragon among men, above ten thousand people, but he still can't escape the fate of a certain god randomly drawn down in the dark.

But even he, a god, is running around for a calamity judged by someone. How can anyone in this world escape?

The oath at the North City Gate ended, and the [-] troops marched northwest against the rising sun.

Because the frontier situation is critical, the marching speed must naturally be accelerated.

In this life, Song Zhuo's body does not have the slightest magic power. The little prince lives a comfortable life on weekdays, and is often lazy and does not practice martial arts. Naturally, his physical strength cannot keep up. Song Zhuo walked with the army all morning and felt a little powerless.

Isn't it all autumn?Why is it still so hot?Why is the cloth armor so thick?

Song Zhuo is now sticking to the walking movement mechanically with difficulty.

All he could feel now was smoke in his throat and a fire in his head.

Song Zhuo raised his head vigorously and looked forward, seeing the soldiers on horseback in the front row, his guts were cleared of regret.Why didn't they sneak into the cavalry battalion?At this time, having a horse to ride is a life-saver!

"Hi, Brother Zhuo."

Just when Song Zhuo was so tired that he could only bow his head and move around, he heard someone calling him beside him, and when he looked up, he found that Lu Shu had slipped here on a horse.

It may be because during the march, Lu Shu had too many eyes and mouths. In order to avoid being heard by others, Lu Shu deliberately concealed the word "Prince", and only called Song Zhuo his elder brother.

Song Zhuo naturally wouldn't care about Lu Shu at this time, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, give me the whole horse, I'm about to die."

Lu Shu rode on the horse, walking side by side with Song Zhuo. "Mr. Wei is in the carriage behind. He asked me to pick you up. You follow me quietly, so as not to attract the attention of others."

When Song Zhuo heard the phrase "Mr. Wei is in the carriage at the back", he already tied Wei Zheng to the sky-swapping monkey in his heart and set him on fire to let him fly.

This old bastard, sitting comfortably in a carriage by himself, actually let him walk with the army all morning, it's too much!

Song Zhuo deliberately slowed down, allowing the soldiers beside him to pass through him. Finally, more than a quarter of an hour later, he ushered in the carriage of Wei Zheng, who was walking at the rear of the camp.

When he arrived, Wei Zheng took the initiative to lift the curtain of the carriage, and stretched out his hand as if concerned, "Come up quickly."

"Hmph." Song Zhuo gave him a sideways look, and the expression on Wei Zheng's face immediately lost control, and changed into a face of a successful prank.

Song Zhuo had the backbone to plan to support the carriage by himself, but because the carriage was still moving, he bumped into the big rock suddenly, and Song Zhuo's arms went limp because of this, and he was about to fall to the ground.

At this time, the face is obviously not as important as the injury.

Song Zhuo quickly grabbed Wei Zheng's leg and almost pulled Wei Zheng off the carriage.

After a lot of tossing, Song Zhuo finally got into the carriage. Wei Zheng wanted to talk to him to relieve his boredom, but he was rejected by his expression of pretending to close his eyes and rest.

Lu Shu watched Song Zhuo get into the carriage, and hurried forward with a few whips.If he disappeared for a while longer, he was afraid that General Lu and Lu Shen, the leader of the team, would become suspicious.

It's just that Lu Shu didn't know that since he slipped away, Lu Shen had already looked towards the rear of the troops.

In Maojing, where the [-] elite soldiers are drifting away.At this time, the palace was very busy because it was the prince's birthday on the ninth day of September.

The congratulatory gifts from several princes and court officials were transported to the palace one by one.

Because today is also the time when the army is going out, the emperor replaced the big banquet that was originally scheduled to be celebrated by the whole court in the evening with a family banquet, and the imperial chefs did not relax because of this. Adjusting for drinks.

During lunch time, many congratulatory gifts had already been delivered to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the emperor also took his share there.

Unexpectedly, when he walked into the main hall of Supreme Harmony, he did not see the figure of the little prince. Instead, he found a small flag tied to a chair in the back room.

Emperor Hui was furious and asked Xiao Qizi where the prince was going, but unexpectedly Xiao Qizi didn't know either.

Fortunately, Emperor Hui realized that Xiao Qi had grown up with Song Zhuo, otherwise he would have beheaded this useless slave with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, a palace official with no eyesight brought in General Lu's birthday gift to the crown prince.

Among a pile of famous calligraphy and paintings, treasures and ancient books, an erhu was caught.

And behind the palace people are several men and women in civilian uniforms.

"Who are these people?" Emperor Hui tried his best to suppress his anger and asked reluctantly.

The man in the palace bowed his head and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, these are congratulatory gifts from General Lu. These people are members of a folk band in the north. The last time the prince went out of the palace to watch their singing and dancing, so Mr. Lu specially sent these people Find it and send it to the palace to perform for the prince. I heard that this erhu was created by a master a hundred years ago, because the prince has recently become obsessed with rhythm, Mr. Lu sent it specially."

"This Lu Shen..." Emperor Hui calmed down a little, remembering that the last time Song Zhuo went out of the palace privately was to see an opera troupe who was very famous in the north of Dayin and finally came to the south, he guessed, maybe this time Song Zhuo is going to join in the excitement again.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hui immediately sent people out of the palace to look for Song Zhuo everywhere in Maojing, especially those places for fun.

Of course, Emperor Hui still remembered that Song Zhuo came to him in the early morning to ask to go out with the army.

It's just that the little prince Song Zhuo of the first life is used to being lazy and mischievous, but he is a little ancestor who can't bear hardships. Emperor Hui only regarded him as a whim, and it was impossible for him to really go.

What's more, the leader of the army is Lu Yue, and Emperor Hui believes that General Lu will never let Song Zhuo mess around.

Emperor Hui suppressed the matter of the prince leaving the palace privately in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Song Zhuo didn't know, but Emperor Hui knew very well that the Hall of Supreme Harmony was not only Song Zhuo's residence, but also his protection.

Out of here, many people want Song Zhuo's life.

Among those who coveted Song Zhuo's life, the most eager ones were those who were going to attend the Prince's birthday banquet tonight.

This must be concealed.

So at the dinner that night, we had to declare that the prince had an emergency.

Emperor Hui originally thought that it would not be difficult to find Song Zhuo, but unexpectedly, the hidden guards sent out turned Mao Jing upside down and did not find Song Zhuo.

When Emperor Hui realized that Song Zhuo might have followed the army secretly, the [-] army had been away for nearly two days, and it was about [-] miles away from Maojing.

"Bring the prince back to me! Don't let any news out!"

"Yes." The head of the first dark guard next to Emperor Hui took the order.

Song Zhuo also guessed that Emperor Hui might send someone to the army to look for him, but at this time he could no longer be distracted by it.

The army walked for four days and arrived at Yuzhou, which is only a day's journey from the northwest border.

Just in case, General Lu specially ordered Lu Shen to lead another team of elites to set off from the small road.

What Song Zhuo didn't expect was that there was a place for him among the legendary elite.

Song Zhuo in the carriage saw Lu Shen riding a black horse to the front of the carriage, and heard him say in a calm voice, "Come out, follow me."

Song Zhuo, who thought he was hiding very secretly, looked at Wei Zheng who was sitting beside him, "He called you."

Wei Zheng said calmly, "No, he was talking about you."

Song Zhuo was stunned, what?How could this person know that he was here?

Although he didn't want to, Song Zhuo had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out in the face of Wei Zheng's affirmative gaze and the urging of General Lu Shen outside the car.
