Crossing the East Palace

Tang Luojin's smile made Ning Junchi feel warm.

As for the others who saw His Highness the Prince's smile for the first time, they were all stunned.

They used to only know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an extraordinary appearance, that he has learned from others, has extraordinary skills, and is capable of leading troops, but they don't know that there is something about His Royal Highness that makes them completely dumbfounded, and can only look at the Crown Prince foolishly. , but can't say a word.

Just a smile.

Tang Luojin was still smiling at first, but seeing that everyone was stunned, she slowly put away that shallow smile.

When everyone came back to their senses, they knelt and kowtowed subconsciously while stroking their chests.

Ning Junchi looked at him and slightly bent his knees to kneel.

Tang Luojin took a quick step and didn't make him kneel down.

"How can uncle be the same as other people?"

Ning Junchi just smiled: "Sooner or later, everyone will have to kneel."

Tang Luojin thought that after Ning Junchi said he ascended the throne, no matter what, Ning Junchi would kneel down to him once.

But Ning Junchi didn't think so far in his heart, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips as he looked at Tang Luojin.

"Since uncle is here, let's rest for a day and wait until tomorrow before dealing with the people and supplies brought by uncle."

Anyway, things and people have been delivered, Tang Luojin is not in a hurry now.

Ning Junchi nodded, and saw Tang Luojin put away her smile, standing on a high place, talking loudly to the person he brought.

Everyone looked at his Xiao Qi excitedly, as if they were looking at the supreme god.

Isn't that so?

A person who can change the fate of others can be called a god?

Ning Junchi looked at the young man in black with deeper eyes.

It's just that it's not easy for Ning Junchi and others to come to the border. Although Tang Luojin understands everyone's hard work, he has to make many arrangements.Although Ning Junchi didn't have to immediately count the supplies and people he brought, but except when the bonfire was lit at night, the two of them never got angry alone.

Until outside the tent, a bonfire was lit.

Frontier fighters are not stupid.

They saw the carts of supplies brought by Lord Xin Guo, the carts of people, men and women.

Needless to say, men are used for work.With these men, they will be much more relaxed.What's more, the crown prince also made a promise that if these sent men with slave status did a good job, they would be rewarded for eliminating their slave status.

And those women... At the bonfire party this time, the prince only sent food to the tent where the women gathered, and didn't force them to come out.

However, even so, everyone knows that those women came here to marry in the local area and then take root in the local area.

Although what many soldiers and soldiers look forward to most in their hearts is to return home in good clothes, go home to marry a wife and have children.However, whether it is Datang or the previous dynasties, unless the war is really over, or they are disabled on the battlefield, or they try to climb up to a certain position, they can take their parents, wives and children to live nearby. Otherwise, it is impossible for them to live with their families.

However, if you marry a wife and have children here...

Many soldiers who were pushed out by their families to serve in the military without getting married began to feel itchy in their hearts—most of them were the second sons or the middle sons in the middle. How can I serve in the military when I have to bear the burden of supporting my parents?The younger brother in the family is pitiful, he is so young, and he was pampered since he was a child. He went to the battlefield, and within a few days, something happened?So they were pushed out.

Now that they were pushed out, why did they want to go back?

Around this seemingly barren place, a city will soon be built.Perhaps, they can take root in this city, truly marry wives and have children, and defend their family and country.

What those soldiers were thinking was exactly what Ning Junchi had guessed in his mind when he came up with this method.

Although for those women, it may not be the best choice to travel thousands of miles to settle on the somewhat dangerous border and marry a soldier.However, it seems to be a good thing for them to be able to escape from slavery and become a real commoner, so that their future children will not be restricted by their status.

And for those thoughtful soldiers, even if they can go home in the future, their beds may be gone early at home, and it is not unacceptable to stay here and settle down.

Of course, what Ning Junchi thinks about the most is that once these soldiers settle in the city newly built by his Xiaoqi, they will work harder to guard the city and Datang in order to protect their own home.For Xiaoqi, this is the best.

However, Ning Junchi knew that he didn't have to say these thoughts, Tang Luojin could understand them.

What he is worried about now is, does what Tang Luojin said two years ago in Chang'an City still count?

The bonfire lit up, illuminating the surroundings with light.

Ning Junchi was holding a wine glass, sitting aside, watching many soldiers start to dance indiscriminately - it was so ugly that people couldn't look directly at it.

His eyes turned slowly, and slowly searched for the boy's position.

The young man was still dressed in black clothes, with a golden belt around his waist. He had a slender figure and a slender waist... Every time Ning Junchi took a look, he felt a little drunker.

It's a pity that he stared at Tang Luojin all night. Tang Luojin was busy with socializing all night, and when he wasn't socializing, he just sat upright. The prince was full of aura, as if he had never met his gaze.

Ning Junchi waited and waited, knowing that he couldn't wait like this.

Perhaps what the second sister said was very true, he was too confused, it's not good to like anyone, but Tang Luojin?However, if the person you like can control, then the love in this world may not be so precious.

What's more, for Ning Junchi, his love for Tang Luojin grew slowly from long-term thinking.When he found out, that feeling had already been deeply rooted in his heart, how could he get rid of it?

"Mr. Xin, you are drunk."

Ning Junchi's dark eyes were slightly distracted, and his whole body was swaying, but he didn't speak, only frowning.

Pity the people around Ning Junchi, they originally wanted to please the uncle of the country, the uncle that His Royal Highness valued, but Ning Junchi suddenly became "drunk" at this time, that person wanted to help Ning Junchi, but I don't dare, for fear that Ning Junchi has some eccentricity, and it would be bad if he wants to chop off his hand after he wakes up.

"Your Highness!" Luckily, that person was quite clever, and when he saw Tang Luojin coming towards him, he hurriedly called out, and said after saluting, "Your Highness, Duke Xin seems to be drunk."

Tang Luojin gave Ning Junchi a cold look.

drunk?

He clearly remembered that this uncle of his was the best drinker, he could get a lot of people drunk every time, and he was still sober enough to figure out how long it would take before he could get the rest drunk too.

Can a person with such a capacity for alcohol really get drunk so easily?

"It's okay." Tang Luojin knew that Ning Junchi would not get drunk so soon, but he still took a step forward, put Ning Junchi's arm on his neck, and slowly helped him up, "Gu send him back to the tent."

The person who called Tang Luojin to stop hurriedly stretched out his hand, intending to help Ning Junchi on the other side, but Ning Junchi pretended to be drunk and suddenly opened his hand.

Tang Luojin said expressionlessly, "Back off."

As if he had been pardoned, the man hurriedly withdrew.

Although Tang Luojin knew that Ning Junchi was pretending to be drunk, she still managed to help him into the tent.

——In the two years at the border, he has grown taller and stronger, so it's no problem to support Ning Junchi.

However, facing Ning Junchi alone gave Tang Luojin a headache.

"Xiaoqi."

"Ok?"

"Xiaoqi."

"..." Tang Luojin turned to look at Ning Junchi who was being helped to the bed, with a blank expression.

"Xiaoqi."

As if chanting a mantra, Ning Junchi, who closed his eyes and pretended to be drunk, suddenly yelled again.

Tang Luojin stood up.

Shake the clothes.

Ning Junchi finally stopped pretending to be drunk, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Tang Luojin looked at him quietly.

Ning Junchi said: "The clothes are not good-looking, uncle brought you a lot of clothes, you wear those."

Tang Luojin: "Huh?"

Ning Junchi's voice was slightly hoarse: "Those are the ones I wore when I was your age." However, as the Duke of Xin, the prince's uncle, and the famous person in front of Emperor Tianyuan, Ning Junchi's clothes are too much. up.The few outfits he picked out are all well-preserved, a few that he has worn but not often.

"..." Tang Luojin said, "Uncle is drunk."

"Really?" Ning Junchi simply stopped pretending, got up from the bed, walked slowly towards Tang Luojin step by step, lowered his head, and looked at the young man in front of him with burning eyes, "In that painting, Xiao Qi is wearing uncle's clothes. clothes? Xiaoqi in the painting is very beautiful."

Tang Luojin remained silent.

Ning Junchi sighed, and said: "Xiaoqi, there must always be a beginning and an end in everything you do. You gave me that painting two years ago, so you should have thought about what I would think in my heart. Two months ago, you wrote to me , and said, 'I hope my uncle will come in person'. Since you are looking forward to it, I will definitely come."

"Xiao Qi, no matter what you think in your heart. Since you started this matter, you can't have a beginning without an end. Uncle, we are still waiting for the day when Xiao Qi really puts on uncle's clothes."
