Mingda refused to leave Beijing, and had no time to leave Beijing, but it was better not to give people a chance—as she said, not only the Tang family was anxious about her marriage with Tang Zhao, but she herself was also very anxious.

Not two days after receiving the secret letter, Her Royal Highness the Princess finally agreed to leave the Princess Mansion, not to look for Emperor Yanping, but to find an excuse to inspect the Fourth Battalion of the capital.Tang Zhao didn't hide anything from her, Tang Mingdong naturally told Mingda in the conversation with her that day, Tang Jing's marriage was just mentioned casually by Tang Mingdong, but the two of them obviously cared about it.

Finding a sunny day, Mingda took Tang Zhao with him and set off.

The four battalions in the capital, Dongyu, Nanjian, Xilin, and Beiding, each battalion has more than [-] elite soldiers, and they jointly guard the capital and are also responsible for guarding the twelve gates in the four directions of the capital.If Mingda wanted to inspect the fourth battalion, he would almost have to go around the entire capital, not to mention the time wasted in inspecting the military camp, but the time spent on the road, and he was a bit rushed in a day.

Mingda didn't make things difficult for himself, and directly divided the itinerary into two days.On the first day, go to the Dongyu and Nanjian battalions, and on the second day, go to the Xilin and Beiding battalions.In the middle of the night, if you have enough time, you can go back to the princess mansion to rest, and if you are delayed by something, it doesn't matter if you live in the barracks.

As for the four camps, Tang Zhao might be more familiar with them than Mingda.Thinking back when she was still in Song Ting, Ding Guogong asked her to join the army to practice, and she did not stay away from the capital, so naturally she also entered the fourth battalion, and she went through rounds one by one.

The carriage was on the way to Dongyu Camp, Tang Zhao said casually: "There are many good archers in Dongyu Camp. I remember that Tang Jing's arrow skills are good. He just entered Dongyu Camp. He is probably still in the camp now." Only Shangguan is willing to marry his daughter to him after he has emerged. I don’t know anything about the officers of the Fourth Battalion, Mingda, can you find out which family wants to marry the Tang family?”

There was the turmoil ten years ago, and the Mingda brothers and sisters have been particularly strict in controlling the army in the following years.Leaving aside the imperial guards, they stayed in the palace to be on duty only after a thorough investigation to confirm their loyalty.The Fourth Battalion, which was slightly farther away from the Imperial City than the Forbidden Army, was naturally also the focus of the two, and any generals and officials who had any doubts would be transferred away.

Due to several purges, the officers in the Fourth Battalion were no longer what Tang Zhao knew ten years ago.Mingda didn't intend to let her eyes go dark, so he handed over this document, which not only included the generals of the Fourth Battalion, but also their respective profiles.

Tang Zhao flipped through it casually, and occasionally compared it with the figures in her mind, but found that at least half of them were unfamiliar faces, and she didn't know or understand them at all.But this is also normal. Ten years is enough for many people to succeed, and it is also enough for many people to fall. It is not an exaggeration for the people in the fourth battalion to say that they have completed a replacement.

Mingda handed over the documents, and replied casually: "Your cheap brother Tang has some skills, but he is the most common captain in the Dongyu camp, and he has been appreciated by the deputy commander of the left camp in such a short time, Hong Zhan, even his daughter I'm going to marry him too."

The Dongyu camp is divided into two battalions, left and right, each with a commander, and two deputy commanders under the commander.Speaking of which, the deputy commander of Zuoying is only a fourth-rank official, and his power as a deputy is not concentrated, but compared to Tang Jing, his status is much higher.Even the generals of the Fourth Battalion have a bright future, which is not comparable to Tang Mingdong's nominal general. He is also a fourth-rank military officer, and the Tang family is definitely the one who is the best when the two families are married.

Tang Zhao didn't care how Tang Jing came to be, she raised her head after reading Hong Zhan's message and asked, "Mingda, do you think Hong Zhan simply appreciates Tang Jing and wants to marry his daughter to him, or has he been punished by the Tang family?" Winning defection?"

This Mingda actually checked it out, but now he blinked and said, "This one, let's go and have a look together."

Seeing her like this, Tang Zhao knew that he couldn't ask any more questions. He was curious and defensive, but he didn't refuse Mingda's proposal.She closed the document and tapped it on the palm of her hand, a little curious about what might be going on in Dong Yu Camp.

The fourth battalion garrisons were all on the outskirts of the city, and after driving out of the city, Princess Chang went straight to Dongyu Camp, which was not too far away.

He went out early in the morning and arrived at the military camp before noon, but was stopped outside the camp by the soldiers on duty without any surprise.However, the army on duty in Beijing naturally recognized the logo of the Princess Mansion, and the sergeants on duty did not dare to neglect it.YouQi asked that the person in the car was the eldest princess herself, and even hurriedly sent someone into the camp to invite the general to come.

Tang Zhao raised the curtain of the car and glanced at the military camp with strict military discipline outside, and couldn't help but praise: "I haven't been here for many years, but now this military camp has stricter military management, and the momentum is quite different from that of back then."

Mingda loves to hear these words, even straightened his back and smiled triumphantly: "That's right, it doesn't matter who rectified it."

Tang Zhao was a little surprised this time. The ten years she had missed was too long. Even if she tried her best to understand Mingda's experiences in these years, she still couldn't know everything.For example, the rectification of the Fourth Battalion, she did not expect that Mingda was responsible for it.You must know that the Fourth Battalion had been in peace for 20 years under the hands of the first emperor, and it was more or less intended to be reorganized. It was almost like cutting flesh and bones, which was not easy.

So Tang Zhao cupped his fists and praised sincerely: "Your Highness is still amazing."

Mingda has calmed down a long time now, and even has an aloof image to the outside world, and only in front of his sweetheart will he show some elation because of the other party's praise.But it was this particularity that made Tang Zhao almost reach out his hand.

Simply because the outsider general Dong Yu came very quickly, and the other party came out to welcome the eldest princess in person after receiving the news.Seeing the driver of the Princess Mansion from a distance, he quickened his pace, and when he got closer, he saw that the person in the car was the Eldest Princess, and immediately bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness, the Eldest Princess. I'm wearing armor, so I can't fully salute. Please forgive me, Your Highness." .”

Only then did Ming Da get out of the carriage and went outside: "General, you don't need to be polite, I just came to make an inspection as usual."

General Dong Yu stood up straight when he heard the words, and did not show any abnormality to Ming Da's words.In fact, since the reorganization of the Fourth Camp, Mingda has been visiting the Fourth Camp every year to prevent a relapse, but the time is not fixed.

This year Mingda came a little earlier, but it's not too unexpected.

Tang Zhao followed Mingda and got out of the carriage.Maybe it was because she was born too thin, she looked like a literati, and she was just a young man. General Dong Yu took a look at her and didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and went to lead the way.

On such occasions, Mingda naturally walked in front, and Tang Zhao followed behind a little slower. What she saw after entering the camp was somewhat similar and somewhat different from what she remembered—the similarity was the military camp itself, but the difference was the people in the military camp.

General Dong Yu knew Ming Da's temper, so he didn't take it seriously, and directly led Ming Da to look around in the camp.

There are more than ten thousand elite soldiers in the Dong Yu camp, and the imperial court spends a lot of money to support them. The so-called elite soldiers are not only well-equipped, but also have extraordinary spirit and spirit.Whether it is training, patrolling, archery, or even passing sergeants, they all have their heads held high and their chests held high, full of vigor.In addition to not seeing much blood, this already has the prototype of an elite teacher.

Under the influence of Duke Ding, Tang Zhao had quite high requirements for the army, but he couldn't make a mistake with the current Dongyu camp... She was just thinking about it when she suddenly heard someone shout: "careful!"

As the voice fell, there was the sound of arrows piercing through the air.

Tang Zhao raised his eyes hastily, and saw an arrow flying from obliquely.Before she had time to think about it, she turned around and threw Mingda under her body to protect her. The arrow also flew past Tang Zhao's shoulder, not to mention scratching her clothes, and it even brought out a little blood.

Everyone was confused by this sudden turn of events, and General Dong Yu felt his brain explode, and when he realized it, he hurried forward and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"

Naturally, Mingda was fine, she was well protected by Tang Zhao, and Tang Zhao took most of the strength off when she fell.However, as soon as she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the blood on Tang Zhao's shoulders, and naturally her face was not good.She even broke away from Tang Zhao's arms in a panic, and raised her hand to cover the wound on her shoulder: "Azhao, Azhao, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"

Apart from feeling a little pain, Tang Zhao was fine. He hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm fine."

How could Mingda feel relieved?She turned her head and turned coldly at General Dong Yu, and ordered: "Where's the arrow, go and get the arrow quickly. There's also a military doctor... Forget it, what about the golden sore medicine, do you have any golden sore medicine?"

It's not a time of war now, so General Dong Yu naturally didn't bring any medicine for sores, but he gradually calmed down after hearing Ming Da's instructions.On the one hand, he sent people to protect the eldest princess, on the other hand, he sent people to find the arrow that hurt people, and on the other hand, he sent people to get medicine.After giving these instructions, he turned cold again and asked people to investigate the origin of the arrow.

Tang Zhao and Mingda were quickly surrounded by sergeant guards, and soon the arrow that injured Tang Zhao was also found. Mingda checked the arrow to make sure there was no poison on it, so he relaxed a little.

Even so, she hugged Tang Zhao tightly, ignoring the eyes of others.

Tang Zhao felt that the shoulder injury was not serious, at most it was just a little flesh injury, and wanted to speak to comfort Mingda, but then he thought of something, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Not long after, the medicine for golden sores arrived, and Mingda personally applied the medicine to Tang Zhao to stop the bleeding.

On the other hand, General Dong Yu's investigation was also very fast. In fact, he knew the arrow that was recovered when he saw it - it was an arrow used in military practice. There is no killing such as blood barbs.But arrows will always hurt people when shot out, I don't know which bastard is it, he led people away from the back of the shooting range, but he can still shoot arrows!

Sure enough, a recruit was brought over with a flustered face, still holding a bow in his hand: "General, general, villain, villain, I just learned archery, I just missed it, I missed it..."

General Dong Yu had a headache looking at the trembling recruits. He didn't know if it was an accident before, but he felt that the eldest princess, who had been assassinated all year round, might not believe in accidents.In fact, he himself didn't quite believe it, so he squinted at the recruit, and then ordered: "Take it down first, and then check!"

The author has something to say: Tang Zhao: Look, I was injured trying to save Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness was moved and offered her body...
