obey

Just when Ying Qi drew his sword to stop the second young master of the Kong family, the other party's fingertips directly pressed on the blade of Ying Qi's sword. With the sharpness of the two green snake swords, they could cut gold and iron, but they still couldn't touch Kong Lanjiao's skin. Isolated by his layer of external internal force.

Although the two of them broke up at the first touch, their internal forces had clashed several times, so that even after the second young master of the Kong family left, Ying Qi was still having heart palpitations, and his grip on the sword was numb.

Let Yingqi feel a kind of absolute power suppression.

During the conversation, Li Yuan had already peeled a small handful of melon seeds and poured them into Ying Qi's palm.

The Lord's reward must be received, Ying Qi received it with both hands, thanked His Highness, and ate one by one, the fluctuation of the body's internal force gradually stabilized, and the heartbeat slowly recovered.

Li Yuan asked him again: "Then what do you think about Ying Wu's match against him?"

Ying Wu is the most powerful among the Shadow Guards of the Taotie Group of the Shadow Palace, and even surpassed the strength of the previous Fighting Saint Ghost Guard.Ying Qi thought for a while: "It's hard to say, I haven't seen Fifth Brother use all his strength. I just hope that the second young master of the Kong family will not become an enemy of the palace."

Li Yuan leaned against the wall of the car relaxedly: "He just has a prejudice against me... Today, there are two generals who are famous all over the world. The other is Zhennan Wang Chuwei."

"When Chu Wei was not a general, he was a soldier under my father's command, and he was appreciated and promoted by his father. Now he is a general, he has pacified Nanyue and made him the king of Zhennan. No matter how you say it, he is protected and supported by my father. Brother Chu treats me It’s very good, and every time I come back from the war, I will bring some gadgets.”

"The Kong family has been educated and blessed by General Chu Wei, and Aiwu and Wudi are pretty good with our family."

"The imperial court has been on guard against our palace, but has not acted for a long time. It is still afraid of Brother Chu's prestige in the army. Although our two families are not an alliance, we support each other after all. Everyone knows the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. The court thinks If we want to take back the military power and weaken the power of the vassals, we cannot fulfill their wishes."

"Besides, Brother Chu Wei is a true loyal minister and good general. In the eyes of the court, I am afraid that I am not the same as the so-called son of a prince who "overlords the stars and deliberately plots against the sun."

These few words touched the worry that had been in Ying Qi's heart for a long time, and his brows frowned.

"Your Highness..." Ying Qi knew that he shouldn't ask too many questions, if he was just a shadow guard, there was really no room for comment, the death of the shadow guard, if there is no reason, then there is reason.But now, he can't accept any possibility of being separated from his master, no matter life or death.

"You...really...will you?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What will happen? Rebellion?"

Ying Qi suddenly looked like a kitten with its hair blown, looking at Li Yuan very nervously, her whole body was stiff, probably because she felt that Li Yuan's voice was too loud.

Li Yuan pulled Ying Qi into his arms and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's so easy to make, even if I sit on the dragon chair now, no one will listen to me."

"Because I don't have combat achievements."

"step by step."

Ying Qi relaxed a little, grabbed Li Yuan's lapel cautiously but presumptuously, the only way to calm himself down.

"Are you scared?" Li Yuan lowered his head and asked him.

Ying Qi shook her head silently: "It wouldn't be if you were here all the time."

"Before you left, did your father ask you to talk?"

"Ah."

"Did your father give you anything?"

"Have."

Li Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth reluctantly: "The old man is still afraid that I won't take it. You can keep it for me, take it."

"Yes."

Li Yuan patted his head: "Have you had enough rest? We'll leave when we're done resting. We'll take a good rest at the next station."

Ying Qi helped Li Yuan into the carriage, got on the horse and set off.

The ghost guards hiding in the surroundings were all traveling in groups of two. Taking advantage of this time to rest for a while, seeing His Royal Highness's carriage moving, they all got up to follow.

Ying Wu and Ying Si walked together, Ying Wu murmured softly: "I have never fought against Young Master Kong Er, how do I know I can't beat him, find a chance to beat him down for you to see."

Shadow Four always pays attention to whether there are any changes around him, and has no time to chat with Shadow Five.Ying Wu suddenly pinched a bug and held it in front of Ying Si: "Look, I've caught the mosquito that bit us, I'm going to give it a big punishment for the dead mosquito."

Gaba was crushed by the mosquito, and Ying Wu was shocked: "Hey brother, look at this blood, it must be our blood, it's melted together, it really is a brother."

Ying kept his eyes straight: "I've bitten a donkey and yours can melt together."

Ying Wu pouted: "I don't believe it."

Ying Si turned his head: "Hurry up, look ahead."

On the way, I passed through a few post stations, and I was not in a hurry. Li Yuan was more leisurely, and passed a hot spring pool in the middle, and went down to soak in it.

Passing by a small town a hundred miles away from the capital, I saw several porridge sheds still standing, and refugees sat around and drank porridge under the porridge sheds.

Ying Qi originally wanted to buy some melon seeds and snacks for His Royal Highness to pass the time on the road, but after asking, he found out that this small town was flooded a few days ago. Town, helped to make plans for disaster relief, and built a porridge shed with his own money.

The flood damage was not too big, and the resettlement was almost done within a few days. When the name of the prince was mentioned in this small town, the villagers worshiped like a god who saved the world.

Li Yuan was sitting in the carriage, lying in front of the small window and listening to Ying Qi's report.

"Oh, that means there are no melon seeds sold, so let's go." Li Yuan said boredly, resting his chin.

Ying Qi nodded, and asked again: "Your Highness, do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Yuan straightened his long hair: "I won't go. I'm an unruly, non-human, playboy, don't spoil my good reputation."

Ying Qi caressed the small window comfortingly: "Your Highness, let's go."

Li Yuan sighed and smiled: "Building sheds to give porridge and helping refugees are all obvious jobs. There are many floods this month. If you save this time, there will be a next time. Why don't you raise the wages at this time? The price of food in each town is suppressed, and the townspeople are hired to dig canals to store water. After this period is over, the dam will be built, so that the drought and flood in the next year and the next year can be prevented. I am lazy and like to do it once and for all. I am still a cousin of the prince will work."

There is often a small water disaster, and it is often rescued. This small town is not far from the capital, and news spreads quickly. His Royal Highness's kindness and reputation can often be spread. Compared with the stability of the people, it is of course the reputation of the Prince. more important.

Ying Qi stared blankly at His Royal Highness, and blinked: "You really know a lot."

"It's useless anyway." Li Yuan crossed his legs and leaned against the wall of the car with his head on his head, "Let's go."

The carriage of King Qi's son slowly drove into Yanjing, and there was a team of horses outside the city to meet him. Ten strong horse-drawn carriages with red boxes contained Yuezhou silks, jewels, and other items that had been purchased half a year ago. There are rare calligraphy and paintings, and all kinds of gifts.As if it was brought by Li Yuan all the way from Yuezhou.

When entering the city gate, Ying Qi took the token and handed over to the city gate guards, Li Yuan sat in the carriage and straightened his clothes, at this time a familiar adult happened to enter the city gate.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites Xiumu returned to the mansion, and went out of the city to do business with the order of the Holy Majesty.This Mr. He is the prince's Taifu, and he is very close to the prince's cousin Li Yuan.

Li Yuan lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and greeted Mr. He.

When Master He saw that it was Prince Qi's son, he quickly saluted and greeted him: "The old minister's eyesight is poor, he was only busy with paperwork, and he didn't see His Royal Highness. It was really hard work to come from a long distance. The old minister's mansion is near Xuanwu Gate, so it's not as good as Your Highness..."

Li Yuanxu helped Mr. He's slightly bloated body: "Your Excellency, you are welcome. I will definitely visit you some other day. Li Mo'er and the others have urged me many times, saying that the prince's cousin is in a hurry, so I dare not touch the prince's cousin's face." no?"

"By the way, my lord, I heard that there was a flood in the suburbs of the capital, how is it now?" Li Yuan asked sincerely, as if he really didn't know.

His Royal Highness is considered Lord He's student, and Lord He is naturally proud of doing something to benefit the people. What he wants people to ask most when walking on the road is the flood disaster in the suburbs of Beijing.

Master He's eyes were full of pride: "Thanks to the prince, the disaster relief has been done well, and it has been pacified for a long time."

Li Yuan thought about it for a while, then nodded sincerely: "The prince's cousin is kind-hearted and talented in governing the world, Yuan'er is really ashamed."

Master He was in a good mood, cupped his hands and said modestly: "What is your Highness talking about?"

This prince of Qi has no airs and is extraordinarily polite, Mr. He is very helpful in his heart. In fact, Mr. He is most satisfied with Li Yuan's respectful attitude towards His Royal Highness.Mr. He is the prince's tutor, and he must be considerate of the prince first in everything. In the palace, all princes and princes who hinder the status of the prince will be thorns in Mr. He's eyes.

Li Mo'er, the eldest son of Lingnan Prince, is one of the thorns.Among other things, Li Mo's combat achievements are really hard. At the age of 20, he has honed many times in the frontier, and led the soldiers to fight twice in battles where he won more with less. No prince and prince can compare. Prince Grandpa is the same.

Any credit can be erased with time and slander, but military exploits are the hardest amulet.

When you come to the capital, if you don’t give a gift, it’s not thoughtful. Li Yuan has never been willing to come to the capital to gather with the princes and nobles. He laughs more in half a month here than in a normal year. Although the prince of Qi has a bad personality, he is not extraordinary. The advantage is that he has a good temper and can talk, and he is good at dancing with both sides. No one cares whether Li Yuan is acting on the spot, who doesn't like to hear nice words.

Ying Qi had already stood by the side for a while, and when Lord He left, she came back with the token and returned it to Li Yuan.

"Your Highness." Ying Qi returned the token to Li Yuan.

Suddenly received a letter that the cousins ​​were celebrating the concubine's pregnancy at Zhennan Palace, and invited Li Yuan to stop by and have a look.

Li Yuan took the letter paper and dusted it off: "Look, this is so spoiled, if a pregnancy is diagnosed, we have to go and have a look... Let's go."

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion was extremely lively today. General Chu Wei, the King of Zhennan, also returned to Beijing today. He heard the good news that the princess was pregnant as soon as he entered the house. It happened that the Crown Prince was not long after he came back from the flood control, so he stopped by the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to take a look.

When Li Yuan stepped into Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Ying Qi disappeared suddenly, climbed up to the eaves lightly, and waited quietly.

The hall was more lively than Li Yuan imagined.

"As soon as I entered Yanjing, I came to see my sister-in-law first, how about a cup of tea? Yo, my cousin and sister-in-law are here?" Li Yuan stepped into the hall, and everyone in the hall saluted after seeing that it was the son of Prince Qi.

General Chu Wei didn't even take off his battle armor, and the beautiful princess who was holding the weak Liu Fufeng couldn't put it down, and she clumsily cared about his wife: "I'm the last one to know if I'm pregnant and still don't write to me... Do you feel uncomfortable? "

The concubine shook her head, smiled sweetly, and complained to him: "Oh, I have asked ten times, and I am not uncomfortable. What if the child is born and talks about me like you?"

Seeing Li Yuan coming in, the concubine waved her hand: "Yuan'er is here, come and sit down quickly. Pour tea for His Royal Highness."

Concubine Yan Wanning is a lively and lovely lady, but she is the daughter of Prime Minister Yan, the old enemy of the Qi Palace. Fine Hair didn't want to touch her either.

Both the crown prince and the princess concubine were there, and the two youngest sons of the crown prince ran to Li Yuan's side like little milk balls: "Little uncle, little uncle, give me a hug!"

"No, there is no candy today. I finished eating on the way." Li Yuan pressed the heads of the two little milk balls, and suddenly took out another piece of crispy candy from his pocket, and held it in front of him, "The last piece, let's guess the fist, Give it to whoever wins."

The little milk balls jumped up to guess fists, and while the two children clenched their fists, Li Yuan first opened his palms and clenched the two fat little fists, quickly stuffed the crispy candy into his mouth, and spread his hands: "I won!" .” He said twice: “Well, it’s delicious.”

The children were furious, one hugged Li Yuan's thigh, the other pulled Li Yuan's long hair, dangling their cheeks puffed up: "Little uncle is robbing children for candy again!"

Ying Qi sat on the cornice opposite the courtyard surrounded by four sides, quietly looking at His Royal Highness Shizi surrounded by children in the opposite hall.

Do all the children in the world like His Highness...?

Your Highness is very kind.
