I am a ruler in troubled times
Chapter 57
Following Chongyi and Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe also met the loyal servants sent by the Lu family from Xianyang.
The loyal servant of the Lu family arrived two days later than the Song family because the route to Qizhen was different from that of the Song family.
The more Lu Jihe learned about the situation at home from his loyal servant, the more eager he was to return home as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, there is no need for him in Qizhen's construction of the city. He might as well go back to Xianyang as soon as possible, so that he can grasp the changes in Xianyang in his hands and send a letter back.
Although other members of the Lu family and the Song family can also send messages, these people may not look at things from the perspective of the East Palace. After all, it is not as convenient as him to control the news himself.
After figuring it out, Lu Jihe immediately went to ask Chongyi to resign, but met Song Peiyu's servant in Chongyi's yard.
Speaking of which, he was the one who led the door in person. It seems that his name is Jin Bao. He is indeed very sensible and much stronger than Da Zhuang.
Lu Jihe stopped in his tracks, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and the pictures of the countless times before reappeared in his mind again.
Jin Bao took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Lu"
Lu Jihe nodded absently, and said casually, "Where is Laifu?"
Unable to bear the turbulence for several days, Eunuch An fell ill as soon as he arrived in Qizhen, but Laifu should not be there.
Unless...someone deliberately sent Future Fuzhi away.
Jin Bao didn't doubt that he was there, and explained happily, "Laifu has a stomachache. Seeing that the little one is here, I went to find a doctor."
When Lu Jihe heard this, the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
Based on Jin Bao's words alone, he couldn't guess whether Fu was suffering from abdominal pain or was suffering from abdominal pain.
A gust of wind mixed with heat waves and dust was afraid of hitting the face, Lu Jihe suddenly laughed, closed the fan and patted it on the palm of his hand, whether it was right or not, he could just ask?Guess what.
Lu Jihe looked at Jin Bao with a smile, "I have something to tell His Highness, go and report it to me."
In just two days, Jin Bao had discovered that Song Peiyu not only became closer to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but also had a different friendship with Bo Yang and Mr. Lu in front of him. How dare he accept Lu Jihe's words casually.
"It's so troublesome, you just go in." Jin Bao quickly turned sideways, made way for Lu Jihe, and explained, "Our master came to see His Highness to see the city wall under construction with His Highness. I went to look for Mr. Bai and you. I think I lost track of you, so I didn't meet you."
Lu Jihe didn't doubt Jin Bao's words at all.
Firstly, Jin Bao didn't dare to lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.
Secondly, Song Peiyu did call them all from time to time to check the situation at the city wall construction site.
He nodded to Jin Bao, passed Jin Bao, and walked briskly towards the door.
When he got closer and saw that the door was not closed at all, the smile on Lu Jihe's face became more relaxed, and even his eyes became quicker, and he walked in without hesitation.
"Your Highness, I..." The smile on Lu Jihe's face froze, and his nimble eyes were once again turned into dead fish eyes. He looked back and squeezed out a distorted voice from his throat, "You don't even know what to do?" The door is not closed?"
Song Peiyu, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes brushed Chong Yi's angular profile, and his heart trembled when he saw Lu Jihe's distorted face and flaming eyes.
Song Peiyu half-raised her hand at Lu Jihe, and hurriedly said, "No! Then listen to me..." Shi.
Before Song Peiyu could finish her sentence, Lu Jihe had already walked away.
After stepping out of the door, Lu Jihe still thoughtfully closed the door for the wild mandarin ducks in the house.
Jin Bao looked at the angry Lu Jihe in surprise, "You came out so soon? Mr. Bai hasn't arrived yet."
Before Lu Jihe took it back, he felt that Jin Bao's clever words were like that inside, but Jin Bao could still put him in. Is there no one in the Song family who can use it?
"Go and watch outside." Lu Jihe pointed in the direction of the gate and said in a muffled voice, "I'm wandering in the yard."
Jin Bao immediately sensed the change in Lu Jihe's attitude towards him, he was quite kind when he entered the door, why was he so angry when he came out?
After thinking about it, Jinbao can only put the reason on Song Peiyu in the house.
It must be that Mr. Lu had a dispute with the master and failed to win the master in front of His Highness, so he became so angry from embarrassment.
Thinking about it this way, Jin Bao was even more unwilling to provoke Lu Jihe, and immediately retreated outside the courtyard according to Lu Jihe's request.
Seeing Jin Bao obediently, Lu Jihe became even angrier.
What happened to Song Peiyu's servant?
Why is it so boneless, anyone can make it move.
If one day the room was like this again, General Murong or others insisted on seeing His Highness immediately, wouldn't this boy just disappear?
Imagining what might happen, Lu Jihe felt a throbbing pain in his head.
No, he can't go!
Even if he didn't leave, the two wild mandarin ducks were so loose.
If he left, wouldn't it be that just after he left Qizhen, the news about these two people would spread throughout Qizhen?
Song Peiyu in the room could already imagine how Lu Jihe would make up his mind, but he really couldn't imagine that Lu Jihe could make up his mind so far. He looked awkwardly at Chong Yi who was looking at him with unpredictable eyes, stiff The corner of his mouth twitched, "Are you having a nightmare?"
After saying that, Song Peiyu realized that since arriving in Qizhen, Chong Yi didn't seem to have any nightmares again.
Song Peiyu immediately forgave Chong Yi's crazy behavior, and carefully stretched out his hand to shake Chong Yi's direct gaze, "Are you okay? Do you remember who I am?"
Chong Yi blinked, and fell towards Song Peiyu's side.
From the posture of suppressing Song Peiyu to lying on her back beside Song Peiyu, staring straight at the bed curtain above her head.
Fortunately, Chong Yi's bed was big enough, even if he and Song Peiyu were lying side by side, it didn't seem crowded.
Song Peiyu already believed that Chong Yi was so abnormal because he had a nightmare, and he didn't dare to make any moves to make Chong Yi even more abnormal, so he could only turn his eyes to observe Chong Yi's expression.
Feeling the eyes that never moved away from his body, Chong Yi finally spoke, "Beaver slave"
Song Peiyu jumped up from the bed like a sensitive cat, changed to kneeling on the bed, poked her head in Chong Yi's direction, and said in a surprised tone, "Can you still recognize me?!"
It seems that Ping Zhang didn't lie to him at first.
Chongyi's nightmare can indeed heal with age.
Isn't this getting better and better?
Chong Yi let out a muffled hum from his throat, acquiescing to Song Peiyu's words.
As the 15-meter-high city wall of Qihuo City was completely erected, not only Murong Jing, Lu Jihe and others who had never seen such a high city wall were amazed.
Even Song Peiyu, who had seen taller buildings, felt the vastness of the world and the smallness of herself when she looked at the city wall standing in the wasteland outside the city.
This is the building that pursued gorgeous appearance and simply pursued a larger space in the previous life, and it will never feel like it.
Once the city wall is erected, the Qihuo City is more than half completed.
All that remains outside the city is to plaster the ditches of the moat with cement to slow down the rate at which the water from the moat seeps into the ground.
As for the city, it is even simpler.
It is entirely possible to wait for the strange goods city to operate, and then slowly repair it.
After thinking briefly, Song Peiyu decided to put aside the repairs in the city. He wanted to build a concrete road leading directly to Qihuo City and Yu County while other countries did not react.
In the past, if one wanted to travel from Yu County to Qi Town, it would take two full days, even if it was done quickly.
When the concrete road is completed, Song Peiyu estimates that it will take at least three hours to travel from Qihuo City to Yu County.
Once this cement road is completed, the safety of Qihuo City will definitely be further guaranteed.
After Song Peiyu and others disappeared in Huashan last year, Xianyang has started to build cement roads from the city.
Murong Jing once returned to Xianyang, and faced Emperor Yonghe's report on Huashan's situation, he also saw the cement road.
Therefore, Murong Jing very much agreed with Song Peiyu's idea of building concrete roads.
But once the cement road is repaired beyond the bandit circle in Qizhen, it will be easily discovered by traveling merchants passing by or spies from other countries.
At that time, whether it is the cement road or the strange goods city, it will inevitably appear in the eyes of the public.
The most important thing is whether this road can be repaired unimpeded to the outside of Yuxian County.
Just when everyone was worried about this, the flames of war in Zeng Zhen spread again.
Another prince of Wei died in Zengzhen battlefield circle.
In just two months, the death of two princes in a row was unbearable for any emperor.
Even though Emperor Wei had many sons, the two who died were not his favorite sons.
In terms of face, he can't make it through.
The death of the second prince was far less honorable than the death of the first prince.
The second prince didn't die on the battlefield, but on the belly of the dancer.
After the incident became serious, General Wei Guo found out that the Prince Wei Guo who died on the dancer's belly had been poisoned with extremely strong drugs, and the dancer who had committed suicide in fear of crime was not an ordinary dancer, but a daughter of a family from the Li Kingdom.
She is not an ordinary family, but a girl from the Lin family, the first family name in Li country.It's not a girl who has only a surname left in a down branch, but a concubine from a direct branch of the family.
When the news spread to all countries, countries couldn't believe it right away.
It would be outrageous for a girl from the Lin family to appear in Zeng Zhenzhan's circle, but she was brought by the prince of Weiguo as a dancer... I dare not write like that in the script.
Song Peiyu still doesn't know how Wei Guo and Li Guolin's disputes and how the talks collapsed, but he knew that Wei Guo sent more troops to Zeng Zhen's battle circle, and sent two more princes there.
Under the chain reaction, Yan Guo and Li Guo also had to increase their troops.
After all, everyone has been fighting for the Zengzhen Gold Mine for nearly two years, consuming countless manpower and material resources, and even the people of the country complained.
In fact, everyone understands that in this unexpected and protracted war, their initial investment has exceeded the value of the gold mine itself, but they have to continue.
It's good to be able to win Zeng Town. Even if the gold mines in Zeng Town can't completely erase the losses caused by the war, at least it can appease the foolish people and give an explanation for the tax increase and conscription.
If he didn't even win the gold mine, it would be a serious injury to his vitality.
The expansion of the war in Zeng Town is good news for Song Peiyu and the others to build a rare goods city.
Song Peiyu immediately came up with an idea, Zeng Town's fight was fierce, as long as they temporarily drove away the traveling merchants and tricked Prince Rui of Liangzhou, they would be able to repair the cement road.
Murong Jing ate a cup of iced herbal tea, and when he was full of energy, he immediately thought of the bandit village outside Qizhen.
Because the bandit ring was used to keep Qizhen mysterious, none of the bandit villages outside Qizhen were actually destroyed. With the help of Liu Li, Zhao Jun perfectly disguised himself as a bandit and threatened the surrounding merchants all day long. They are not allowed to get half a step closer to Qi Zhen.
Just as Murong Jing had an idea, Song Peiyu was able to come up with a rough plan that could be implemented.
Song Peiyu said one sentence to the left, and Lu Jihe said one sentence to the right.
In a few words, the plan is almost perfected.
The two looked at Murong Jing one after another, waiting for Murong Jing to make a decision.
With the expansion of Zeng Zhen's battle circle, the flames of war are about to spread to Qi Zhen.
The so-called bandits in troubled times, the bandits outside Qi Town take advantage of the fire at this time, or a big bandit suddenly appears to unify all the bandit villages, it is not too normal.
As long as the bandits outside Qizhen occupy the road section between Qihuo City and Yu County that is going to be built for a month, it is enough to build this cement road.
If Yu County pretended to be at war with the bandits, King Rui of Liangzhou who was also affected would not be in a hurry to make a move.
It would be too late for Prince Rui of Liangzhou to discover something was wrong when the concrete road was built.
Murong Jing went through the completed plan of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe carefully in his mind several times, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Wonderful! I'll ask someone to write a letter to Jing Jue who is in Yu County, and ask him to arrange the plan there. thing."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Chong Yi who was drowsy, and the smile on Murong Jing's face restrained a little.
Comparing Song Peiyu's and Lu Jihe's high-spirited faces, Murong Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It has always been a taboo for ministers to be strong and masters to be weak.
If His Highness can have His Majesty's arrogance, he can hold down the Song and Lu families.
Zhao Guo has both good seeds and a wealth of talents, so why worry about being unhappy?
Chong Yi, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the horizon.
Murong Jing's heart moved, and he followed Chong Yi's movements to look over, and soon saw Hai Dongqing swooping down.
Murong Jing spent a lot of effort to domesticate this Haidongqing himself, and it is much smarter than ordinary eagles.
Seeing that Murong Jing was not wearing armguards, it slowed down on Murong Jing's head. After circling a few times, it landed on the stone table obediently, and fixed its eyes on Murong Jing.
Seeing Hai Dongqing's 'accusing' gaze, Murong Jing slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and ordered the waiter outside to go to the kitchen to get meat strips.
I don't know if Haidongqing can understand the meaning of "meat strips", but he even flapped his wings a few times in place, looking very happy.
Not to mention Song Peiyu and the others saw Lie Xinxi, even Chong Yi took a few extra glances at this 'clever' bird of prey.
Seeing that everyone likes Hai Dongqing, Murong Jing is also willing to form a good relationship, saying that there happen to be a few eggs that are about to hatch in his eagle camp.Give it to them if they like it.
As for whether to wait until the kitty hatches, or wait until the kitty is trained to recognize the way to communicate, or even fight with the same kind in the sky, and then take the eagle away, it all depends on their own wishes.
Song Peiyu hesitated for a while, "If you live in Xianyang with me, don't you feel wronged?"
Murong Jing laughed loudly when he heard the words, "What's the grievance? No matter where it is, it will fly in the sky by itself. Can my nephew still fly with it?"
Song Peiyu laughed, and readily accepted Murong Jing's kindness.
Seeing Murong Jing looking at him, Bo Yang nodded excitedly, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you General for your kindness."
Bo Yang has almost given up his heart to go back to the country of Yan, at least he shares the sorrows with Chong Yi, and when he returns to the country of Zhao, he will not be as embarrassed as before.
When he first settled down in Qizhen, Bo Yang made up his mind that since he has no chance of official career, he might as well concentrate on studying medicine.Therefore, he has long wanted to raise a medicinal eagle, and it would be great to have a condor under Murong Jing's tent.
Even if you fail to raise it successfully, it doesn't matter if you can't find medicine. It's so majestic to take it out when hunting in autumn!
Lu Jihe also nodded reservedly. He seemed much calmer than Bai Yang, but instead he had a dispute with Song Peiyu over how to raise an eagle. Neither of them could convince the other, and they also refused to back down. This time, Murong Jing was not let down. To determine who is right and wrong means.
Poor Bo Yang wanted to persuade the fight, but he became a fool without realizing it. Sometimes he felt that what Song Peiyu said was right, and sometimes he felt that Lu Jihe's opinion was reasonable.
Murong Jing looked at the dispute between Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe with great interest, feeling even more regretful.
It is rare that Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe have the friendship of classmates, and the friendship of sharing weal and woe. Even if they return to Xianyang and may turn against each other because of family interests, they will always have a love for each other.
If His Highness is willing to put some thought into it, he can balance the Song and Lu clans, and then subdue the Mu clan's influence, so that the court will become a three-legged confrontation... Sigh.
Thinking of this, Murong Jing realized that everyone else had agreed to go to Eagle Camp to see eagles, but Chong Yi remained silent.
"What kind of eagle does Your Highness want to choose?" Murong Jing looked at Chong Yi with a smile.
Chong Yi lowered his eyelids, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Hai Dongqing who was eating on the table.
"Your Highness! No!" Murong Jing was shocked when he saw this, and hurried to stop Chong Yi.
His Hai Dongqing is a descendant of the Eagle King. Not long after he was able to fly, he was accidentally targeted by a boa constrictor and was injured, so he fell into Murong Jing's hands.
Murong Jing loves Hai Dongqing's Shen Jun very much. He not only asks the military doctor to treat Hai Dongqing's injuries, but in order to subdue Hai Dongqing, he will stay by Hai Dongqing's side as long as he has time.
It's a pity that the Eagle King is the Eagle King, and what he yearns for is freedom.
After recovering from the injury, Hai Dongqing escaped from prison.
Murong Jing didn't want to think about the long process of boiling the eagle afterwards.
He even felt that not only he was the one who was tormenting the eagle, but the eagle was also tormenting him.
Anyway, when this sea dongqing gets old, he won't make another eagle.
But now, this sea dongqing has nothing to do with the old man, and can even help Murong Jing kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Murong Jing saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
Chong Yi spread his slender fingers, and easily grasped his Hai Dongqing in the palm of his hand, and used the other hand to look at Hai Dongqing's claws and wings.
He hates being touched the most. Over the years, Hai Dongqing, who has pecked through countless people's skulls and blinded countless people's eyes, is honest like a docile pigeon, allowing Chong Yi to lift it up and put it into any pose at will.
After Chong Yi checked Hai Dongqing's situation, he raised his hand and threw Hai Dongqing out.
Hai Dongqing fell in the air for a certain distance as if his wings were tied, and then he spread his wings and hovered over Murong Jing's head, making sharp calls from time to time, and refused to leave or land for a long time.
Others only think this scene is strange, but they have seen more exaggerated pictures before.
Chong Yilian was seriously injured and poisoned, and fell into a coma for three days.If he can wake up and kill more than a dozen vicious bandits, what if he just grabs Hai Dongqing in his hands and plays with it?
They have long agreed with Bo Yang's saying that 'heavy martial arts reach the pinnacle'.
Although I was surprised, I felt it was reasonable.
Murong Jing is different, he knows Hai Dongqing who he raised by himself too well.
Just based on Hai Dongqing's movements and calls at this time, he knew that just now Hai Dongqing nestled in Chong Yi's hands like a dove. It was not because he liked Chong Yi that he was so obedient, but because he couldn't resist.
After flying up, Haidongqing made angry and threatening voices but did not attack for a long time, also because it was frightened, it was afraid of Chong Yi, and could not even think of attacking.
If he was not still sitting here, Hai Dongqing was worried about him, otherwise he would have flown away long ago.
Chong Yi withdrew his gaze from Hai Dongqing, and looked at Murong Jing whose eyes darkened, "Using it to send a message, will you really not be caught?"
Chong Yi doubted the most proud number one eagle in the Eagle Camp. Instead of being offended, Murong Jing became very interested and asked Chong Yi if he would like to see Hai Dongqing kill the enemy with his own eyes.
Just now they had initially agreed that the first step for Qizhen's bandits to become more and more active was to eradicate all other bandit villages around them, so as to prevent them from making changes when they secretly built roads.
Chong Yi turned to look at Song Peiyu, "Do you see?"
Of course Song Peiyu didn't want to watch it. He was neither a general nor liked bloody scenes. Why did he rush to the front line of suppressing bandits?
But Chong Yi's posture, it is obvious that if he goes, Chong Yi will go, if he does not go, Chong Yi will not go.
Seeing the anticipation on Murong Jing's face out of the corner of his eye, Song Peiyu gritted his teeth fiercely, "Look!"
He still doesn't know why the Emperor Yonghe in the book suddenly dislikes Chongyi, and he doesn't know when Emperor Yonghe will dislike Chongyi.
What can be done now is to increase Chongyi's weight.
If Chong Yi could get Murong Jing's approval, his status would definitely be much more stable.
In Song Peiyu's view, Chong Yi's most likely to impress Murong Jing in a short period of time is his superb physical skills.
Even Chong Yi in the book was disliked by Emperor Yonghe in every possible way, but because he was the only son of Emperor Yonghe, Gou finally succeeded to the throne.
If Chong Yi can be canonized as the prince in advance and get the approval of more courtiers, his path will only be easier.
Because the Haidongqing that was found suddenly, the bandit suppression that could have been easily handed over to a general, became managed by Murong Jing himself.
The target that Murong Jing chose to do it himself was the largest bandit village between Yu County and Qi Town besides the bandit circle in Qi Town.
Different from the bandit villages around Qizhen, there are not only bandits in this Qingshan village, but also the bandits’ family members, and they will not kill all passing caravans every time. If the caravans can pay them a satisfactory protection fee, Qingshan Not only will the village not rob the caravan, but it will also escort the caravan to a safe place.
It is precisely because of this that if the Qihuo City wants to drive away all the caravans and secretly build roads, it will not tolerate this Qingshan Village.
In the early morning, the people in strong attire followed the three hundred soldiers personally selected by General Murong, and set off from Qizhen on fast horses, and did not arrive at the foot of Qingshanzhai until the afternoon.
Under Murong Jing's enthusiasm, Chong Yi was invited to the front.
Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe, and Bo Yang followed behind, feeling very embarrassed.
Lu Jihe couldn't help complaining to Song Peiyu in a low voice, "It's fine, Your Highness, why are we here?"
They don't need to establish prestige among the frontier army. When they see the bloody scene later, they don't show any strange expressions, so it's not bad for the frontier army to watch jokes.
As he said that, Lu Jihe couldn't help turning his head to look at the three hundred frontier soldiers behind him, and secretly said that Murong Jing went on the road.
Of the 300 people, he could recognize most of them, almost all the generals under Murong Jing's tent, and the people at the end of the team were all from hundreds of households.
Song Peiyu tightened the reins, struggling to control the galloping horse under his crotch, and said in a low voice, "If I said I didn't want to watch it at the time, what if His Highness directly rejected General Murong?"
How could such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed!
Not to mention asking him to watch the process of suppressing the bandits, even if he was asked to personally suppress the bandits, he would have to grit his teeth and agree.
Lu Jihe's pupils silently spread half a circle, and he stretched out his hand to cover the pain on his face. After running fast for a day, he should feel hungry, but for some reason, after listening to Song Peiyu's words, he was inexplicably full.
"Then you just come! Why do you have to let me and Bo Yang also come?" Lu Jihe gritted his teeth.
Of course, it was because he had known for a long time that Chong Yi would not change his face no matter how bloody the scene was.
Song Peiyu was worried that she would accidentally expose herself, so she grabbed Lu Jihe and Bo Yang to support him.
Naturally, the truth cannot be told to Lu Jihe, who is already blazing and unable to hide the anger and remorse in his heart.
Song Peiyu had an idea, and thought of an excuse that Lu Jihe couldn't refuse, and said seriously, "Don't you think it's strange that only me and His Highness came out to fight against the bandits with General Murong?"
Bo Yang, who had been listening silently for a while, couldn't help interrupting, "What's so strange?"
"Hmm..." Song Peiyu blinked her eyes, her face full of innocence, "It's just that it's easy to think of weird aspects."
Bo Yang was even more confused when he heard the words, and said aggrievedly, "Can't you be more straightforward? What's so weird..."
Lu Jihe stretched out his hand expressionlessly to push Bo Yang's face away, and stopped Bo Yang's questioning in time. It was rare for him to kindly remind Bo Yang, "Trust me, you don't want to know what weird things he is talking about."
The three murmured in the back, but Chong Yi in the front was unwilling.
He turned his head frequently to look at the back, and after looking a few times, he simply pulled up the rein and wanted to go to the back to find Song Peiyu and the others.
Seeing this, Murong Jing had someone call Song Peiyu and others to the front.
In a bandit village with more than 1000 people, not all of them are young and strong bandits. In Murong Jing's eyes, there is almost nothing to pay attention to.
But the main purpose of his trip was to show Chong Yi the frontier army, and he even had the idea of letting Chong Yi take people to suppress the bandits himself.
Murong Jing thought he couldn't guess Chong Yi's meaning, so he cut straight to the point, "Your Highness, please personally lead the troops to boost morale."
The eyes of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, who stood quietly in place, lit up. They were waiting for this sentence.
With this sentence in place, any bloody scene you see today is worth it!
Lu Jihe knew that if Chong Yi opened his mouth, it would be a blurted refusal, so he rushed ahead of Chong Yi and said, "His Royal Highness said in the past that he must personally defeat the Yan army in the future to avenge Huashan. Today is just to practice with these bandits. "
Song Peiyu seamlessly continued, "With Your Highness's skills, mere bandits will surely be unable to do anything to you."
Seeing this, Bo Yang opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, so he said in a daze, "I'll go with His Highness!"
Lu Jihe: ...
Song Peiyu: ...
Chong Yi closed his mouth, his eyes flicked across Bo Yang's face, and stayed on Song Peiyu's face for a long time.
Lu Jihe quietly took two steps back, squinted at the white clouds in the sky, smiled broadly, and said in a loud voice, "Today, His Highness went out for the first time, and he wrote down the incident of suppressing the bandits in writing, and sent them to Xianyang as soon as possible. I think His Majesty will receive the letter After that, you will definitely be happy."
In the end, Bo Yang, who offered to accompany Chong Yi to suppress the bandits, stayed at the foot of the mountain, but Song Peiyu, who had an innocent face, was taken away. Before going up the mountain, he looked at Bo Yang with an unusually 'kind' gaze.
When the dust raised by the horse's hooves had settled down, Bo Yang suddenly sighed melancholy, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
Lu Jihe patted Bo Yang's shoulder affectionately, "Your Highness is willing to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and you must be fully credited."
"Really?" Bo Yang looked at Lu Jihe hesitantly, but there was an unconcealable excitement in the depths of his pupils.
When Lu Jihe saw that Bo Yang really believed him, the kindness in his eyes became even stronger, and he nodded affirmatively, "Really!"
The process of going up the mountain to suppress bandits is very simple and rough.
From the very beginning, they didn't intend to treat Qingshan Village like they did to the Qizhen bandit circle, leaving no one alive.
Odd goods city needs a lot of labor to build roads and repair the city.
And the flames of war in Zeng Town are spreading faster and faster, and it is unknown when it will spread to Qihuo City. The garrison in Qihuo City must practice diligently and be vigilant at all times.
The people in Qingshanzhai can just replace the garrison and go to build roads or repair the inner city.
As far as they know, there are several factions in Qingshanzhai. Some have married wives and had children to open up wasteland in the mountains, some survive on protection fees from businessmen, and only a small part are the same as the group of bandits in the Qizhen bandit circle. Burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil.
This time the bandits are suppressed, only these bandits are really going to be suppressed, and they are also the bandits with the most voice in Qingshan Village.
If you are crushed by strength, you don't need any tricks.
Murong Jing divided the frontier army into three teams, and the two teams went to capture the bandits on the other two hills, while he led Chong Yi and Song Peiyu straight to the most "prosperous" place in Qingshan Village.
As soon as he entered the range of the thatched cottage, Song Peiyu heard the man's grinning laughter and the girl's crying and begging for mercy.
The faces of all the people who went up the mountain changed drastically, and their pace increased silently.
The spectators outside the thatched hut also saw the frontier army rushing up the mountain. After a short period of panic, they all raised their swords, shouted and cursed, and rushed towards the frontier army.
Perhaps it was because the panic on Song Peiyu's face was too obvious, or Chong Yi's face and the young body that hadn't fully grown were too confusing, there were nearly [-] bandits here, and a small half of them rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Song Peiyu took two steps forward subconsciously, grabbed Chong Yi's clothes, and realized that he might restrict Chong Yi's movements, so she quickly let go of her hand and looked to the left and right blankly.
With Murong Jing's thoughtfulness, he will definitely arrange someone to protect him.
Before Song Peiyu could figure out why, Chong Yi had already pulled him into his arms.
Chong Yi held the back of Song Peiyu's head that was about to be lifted with his hand, and said softly, "Don't look up."
Song Peiyu shut up honestly, he could already smell blood.
Murong Jing, who stood half a step behind Chong Yi, took out his saber and handed it to Chong Yi, without any intention of actively stopping the bandits.
Chong Yi didn't need Murong Jing to help him stop people, he held Song Peiyu in his arms with one hand, and swung a knife with the other to meet the bandits who rushed to his face.
Killed with one blow, never swung the second knife.
Murong Jing's grip on the handle of the knife gradually loosened, and he focused on Chong Yi, who was heroically killing the bandit.
Although these bandits have no rules, they are all young and strong, and they have been licking blood on the tip of their knives for many years, so they naturally have a sense of evil spirit and drive.
However, while Chong Yi was protecting only one person, he dealt with all the bandits who were close to him like he was chopping melons and vegetables, without even changing the frequency of his breathing.
Murong Jing's adjutant did not know when he stood behind Murong Jing, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty hid His Highness really well, I have never heard that His Highness has such skills."
Murong Jing shook his head, as if he was asking the adjutant, but also talking to himself, and said in a low voice, "How could it be possible to hide it?"
Although he could understand that Emperor Yonghe died in battle because of Chongzong, he didn't want Chongyi to contact the army again.
But since Chong Yi has such talent, it should never be wasted.
Even if Chong Yi doesn't have the ability to form troops, as long as he can stand on the battlefield and inspire the troops.With his status, he can gain the support of countless soldiers.
If Chong Yi can quickly grasp the general power in his own hands.
Even if the Song family and the Lu family can flutter, what's the matter?
The corner of Murong Jing's mouth raised a spine-chilling smile, and his eyes staring at Chong Yi became brighter and brighter.
He doesn't seem to need to resign.
Chong Yi suddenly frowned, and turned to look at Murong Jing who was several people away from him.
Murong Jing was standing calmly under a lush tree, looking at him with a smile on his face, without even pulling out his knife.
Although he was wearing a riding suit, he looked more like a literati who was reciting poems and painting.
Song Peiyu was always paying attention to Chongyi's movement, and found that Chongyi's movements stopped, but the sound of weapons colliding around did not stop, and immediately wanted to lift his head from Chongyi's shoulder, "What's wrong, are you injured?"
"No..." Chong Yi temporarily put Song Peiyu down, pressed one hand on the back of Song Peiyu's head, and asked Song Peiyu to bury Song Peiyu on his shoulder again.The wrist holding the knife was reversed, just touching the big knife coming from behind, and said softly, "I saw a fox."
Song Peiyu said 'ah' and didn't say anything else, for fear of distracting Chongyi.
fox?
Although the bandit village was in the mountains, the fighting here was so fierce, why would the fox run this way.
Is it lost?
Feeling the splash of liquid on her cheek, Song Peiyu immediately put the fox aside, and buried her face on Chongyi's shoulder vigorously.
He was wrong. At this time, he should be guiding the townspeople to build roads in Qihuo City, instead of becoming Chongyi's pendant in broad daylight in full view.
From the very beginning, he shouldn't have promised to come and see the bandits obsessively.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that Lu Jihe stayed at the foot of the mountain, otherwise he would definitely have strange thoughts again.
Murong Jing's adjutant hesitated, and reminded Murong Jing vaguely, "Your Highness is always holding Song Binke like this? Why don't I go and pick Song Binke over, so as not to distract His Highness."
"No need." Murong Jing waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll watch here and definitely won't hurt them. Let's see where His Highness's limit is."
As he spoke, Murong Jing winked at the adjutant.
The adjutant hesitated to speak, and the general was right to say so, but he always felt that there was something strange about it.
But I can't say what is strange about it.
Forget it, don't think about it, the general can't be wrong.
He then drove the other bandits over.
Even if something is wrong, it will definitely not be hidden from the general's eyes.
The loyal servant of the Lu family arrived two days later than the Song family because the route to Qizhen was different from that of the Song family.
The more Lu Jihe learned about the situation at home from his loyal servant, the more eager he was to return home as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, there is no need for him in Qizhen's construction of the city. He might as well go back to Xianyang as soon as possible, so that he can grasp the changes in Xianyang in his hands and send a letter back.
Although other members of the Lu family and the Song family can also send messages, these people may not look at things from the perspective of the East Palace. After all, it is not as convenient as him to control the news himself.
After figuring it out, Lu Jihe immediately went to ask Chongyi to resign, but met Song Peiyu's servant in Chongyi's yard.
Speaking of which, he was the one who led the door in person. It seems that his name is Jin Bao. He is indeed very sensible and much stronger than Da Zhuang.
Lu Jihe stopped in his tracks, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and the pictures of the countless times before reappeared in his mind again.
Jin Bao took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Lu"
Lu Jihe nodded absently, and said casually, "Where is Laifu?"
Unable to bear the turbulence for several days, Eunuch An fell ill as soon as he arrived in Qizhen, but Laifu should not be there.
Unless...someone deliberately sent Future Fuzhi away.
Jin Bao didn't doubt that he was there, and explained happily, "Laifu has a stomachache. Seeing that the little one is here, I went to find a doctor."
When Lu Jihe heard this, the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
Based on Jin Bao's words alone, he couldn't guess whether Fu was suffering from abdominal pain or was suffering from abdominal pain.
A gust of wind mixed with heat waves and dust was afraid of hitting the face, Lu Jihe suddenly laughed, closed the fan and patted it on the palm of his hand, whether it was right or not, he could just ask?Guess what.
Lu Jihe looked at Jin Bao with a smile, "I have something to tell His Highness, go and report it to me."
In just two days, Jin Bao had discovered that Song Peiyu not only became closer to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but also had a different friendship with Bo Yang and Mr. Lu in front of him. How dare he accept Lu Jihe's words casually.
"It's so troublesome, you just go in." Jin Bao quickly turned sideways, made way for Lu Jihe, and explained, "Our master came to see His Highness to see the city wall under construction with His Highness. I went to look for Mr. Bai and you. I think I lost track of you, so I didn't meet you."
Lu Jihe didn't doubt Jin Bao's words at all.
Firstly, Jin Bao didn't dare to lie to him, and there was no need to lie to him.
Secondly, Song Peiyu did call them all from time to time to check the situation at the city wall construction site.
He nodded to Jin Bao, passed Jin Bao, and walked briskly towards the door.
When he got closer and saw that the door was not closed at all, the smile on Lu Jihe's face became more relaxed, and even his eyes became quicker, and he walked in without hesitation.
"Your Highness, I..." The smile on Lu Jihe's face froze, and his nimble eyes were once again turned into dead fish eyes. He looked back and squeezed out a distorted voice from his throat, "You don't even know what to do?" The door is not closed?"
Song Peiyu, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes brushed Chong Yi's angular profile, and his heart trembled when he saw Lu Jihe's distorted face and flaming eyes.
Song Peiyu half-raised her hand at Lu Jihe, and hurriedly said, "No! Then listen to me..." Shi.
Before Song Peiyu could finish her sentence, Lu Jihe had already walked away.
After stepping out of the door, Lu Jihe still thoughtfully closed the door for the wild mandarin ducks in the house.
Jin Bao looked at the angry Lu Jihe in surprise, "You came out so soon? Mr. Bai hasn't arrived yet."
Before Lu Jihe took it back, he felt that Jin Bao's clever words were like that inside, but Jin Bao could still put him in. Is there no one in the Song family who can use it?
"Go and watch outside." Lu Jihe pointed in the direction of the gate and said in a muffled voice, "I'm wandering in the yard."
Jin Bao immediately sensed the change in Lu Jihe's attitude towards him, he was quite kind when he entered the door, why was he so angry when he came out?
After thinking about it, Jinbao can only put the reason on Song Peiyu in the house.
It must be that Mr. Lu had a dispute with the master and failed to win the master in front of His Highness, so he became so angry from embarrassment.
Thinking about it this way, Jin Bao was even more unwilling to provoke Lu Jihe, and immediately retreated outside the courtyard according to Lu Jihe's request.
Seeing Jin Bao obediently, Lu Jihe became even angrier.
What happened to Song Peiyu's servant?
Why is it so boneless, anyone can make it move.
If one day the room was like this again, General Murong or others insisted on seeing His Highness immediately, wouldn't this boy just disappear?
Imagining what might happen, Lu Jihe felt a throbbing pain in his head.
No, he can't go!
Even if he didn't leave, the two wild mandarin ducks were so loose.
If he left, wouldn't it be that just after he left Qizhen, the news about these two people would spread throughout Qizhen?
Song Peiyu in the room could already imagine how Lu Jihe would make up his mind, but he really couldn't imagine that Lu Jihe could make up his mind so far. He looked awkwardly at Chong Yi who was looking at him with unpredictable eyes, stiff The corner of his mouth twitched, "Are you having a nightmare?"
After saying that, Song Peiyu realized that since arriving in Qizhen, Chong Yi didn't seem to have any nightmares again.
Song Peiyu immediately forgave Chong Yi's crazy behavior, and carefully stretched out his hand to shake Chong Yi's direct gaze, "Are you okay? Do you remember who I am?"
Chong Yi blinked, and fell towards Song Peiyu's side.
From the posture of suppressing Song Peiyu to lying on her back beside Song Peiyu, staring straight at the bed curtain above her head.
Fortunately, Chong Yi's bed was big enough, even if he and Song Peiyu were lying side by side, it didn't seem crowded.
Song Peiyu already believed that Chong Yi was so abnormal because he had a nightmare, and he didn't dare to make any moves to make Chong Yi even more abnormal, so he could only turn his eyes to observe Chong Yi's expression.
Feeling the eyes that never moved away from his body, Chong Yi finally spoke, "Beaver slave"
Song Peiyu jumped up from the bed like a sensitive cat, changed to kneeling on the bed, poked her head in Chong Yi's direction, and said in a surprised tone, "Can you still recognize me?!"
It seems that Ping Zhang didn't lie to him at first.
Chongyi's nightmare can indeed heal with age.
Isn't this getting better and better?
Chong Yi let out a muffled hum from his throat, acquiescing to Song Peiyu's words.
As the 15-meter-high city wall of Qihuo City was completely erected, not only Murong Jing, Lu Jihe and others who had never seen such a high city wall were amazed.
Even Song Peiyu, who had seen taller buildings, felt the vastness of the world and the smallness of herself when she looked at the city wall standing in the wasteland outside the city.
This is the building that pursued gorgeous appearance and simply pursued a larger space in the previous life, and it will never feel like it.
Once the city wall is erected, the Qihuo City is more than half completed.
All that remains outside the city is to plaster the ditches of the moat with cement to slow down the rate at which the water from the moat seeps into the ground.
As for the city, it is even simpler.
It is entirely possible to wait for the strange goods city to operate, and then slowly repair it.
After thinking briefly, Song Peiyu decided to put aside the repairs in the city. He wanted to build a concrete road leading directly to Qihuo City and Yu County while other countries did not react.
In the past, if one wanted to travel from Yu County to Qi Town, it would take two full days, even if it was done quickly.
When the concrete road is completed, Song Peiyu estimates that it will take at least three hours to travel from Qihuo City to Yu County.
Once this cement road is completed, the safety of Qihuo City will definitely be further guaranteed.
After Song Peiyu and others disappeared in Huashan last year, Xianyang has started to build cement roads from the city.
Murong Jing once returned to Xianyang, and faced Emperor Yonghe's report on Huashan's situation, he also saw the cement road.
Therefore, Murong Jing very much agreed with Song Peiyu's idea of building concrete roads.
But once the cement road is repaired beyond the bandit circle in Qizhen, it will be easily discovered by traveling merchants passing by or spies from other countries.
At that time, whether it is the cement road or the strange goods city, it will inevitably appear in the eyes of the public.
The most important thing is whether this road can be repaired unimpeded to the outside of Yuxian County.
Just when everyone was worried about this, the flames of war in Zeng Zhen spread again.
Another prince of Wei died in Zengzhen battlefield circle.
In just two months, the death of two princes in a row was unbearable for any emperor.
Even though Emperor Wei had many sons, the two who died were not his favorite sons.
In terms of face, he can't make it through.
The death of the second prince was far less honorable than the death of the first prince.
The second prince didn't die on the battlefield, but on the belly of the dancer.
After the incident became serious, General Wei Guo found out that the Prince Wei Guo who died on the dancer's belly had been poisoned with extremely strong drugs, and the dancer who had committed suicide in fear of crime was not an ordinary dancer, but a daughter of a family from the Li Kingdom.
She is not an ordinary family, but a girl from the Lin family, the first family name in Li country.It's not a girl who has only a surname left in a down branch, but a concubine from a direct branch of the family.
When the news spread to all countries, countries couldn't believe it right away.
It would be outrageous for a girl from the Lin family to appear in Zeng Zhenzhan's circle, but she was brought by the prince of Weiguo as a dancer... I dare not write like that in the script.
Song Peiyu still doesn't know how Wei Guo and Li Guolin's disputes and how the talks collapsed, but he knew that Wei Guo sent more troops to Zeng Zhen's battle circle, and sent two more princes there.
Under the chain reaction, Yan Guo and Li Guo also had to increase their troops.
After all, everyone has been fighting for the Zengzhen Gold Mine for nearly two years, consuming countless manpower and material resources, and even the people of the country complained.
In fact, everyone understands that in this unexpected and protracted war, their initial investment has exceeded the value of the gold mine itself, but they have to continue.
It's good to be able to win Zeng Town. Even if the gold mines in Zeng Town can't completely erase the losses caused by the war, at least it can appease the foolish people and give an explanation for the tax increase and conscription.
If he didn't even win the gold mine, it would be a serious injury to his vitality.
The expansion of the war in Zeng Town is good news for Song Peiyu and the others to build a rare goods city.
Song Peiyu immediately came up with an idea, Zeng Town's fight was fierce, as long as they temporarily drove away the traveling merchants and tricked Prince Rui of Liangzhou, they would be able to repair the cement road.
Murong Jing ate a cup of iced herbal tea, and when he was full of energy, he immediately thought of the bandit village outside Qizhen.
Because the bandit ring was used to keep Qizhen mysterious, none of the bandit villages outside Qizhen were actually destroyed. With the help of Liu Li, Zhao Jun perfectly disguised himself as a bandit and threatened the surrounding merchants all day long. They are not allowed to get half a step closer to Qi Zhen.
Just as Murong Jing had an idea, Song Peiyu was able to come up with a rough plan that could be implemented.
Song Peiyu said one sentence to the left, and Lu Jihe said one sentence to the right.
In a few words, the plan is almost perfected.
The two looked at Murong Jing one after another, waiting for Murong Jing to make a decision.
With the expansion of Zeng Zhen's battle circle, the flames of war are about to spread to Qi Zhen.
The so-called bandits in troubled times, the bandits outside Qi Town take advantage of the fire at this time, or a big bandit suddenly appears to unify all the bandit villages, it is not too normal.
As long as the bandits outside Qizhen occupy the road section between Qihuo City and Yu County that is going to be built for a month, it is enough to build this cement road.
If Yu County pretended to be at war with the bandits, King Rui of Liangzhou who was also affected would not be in a hurry to make a move.
It would be too late for Prince Rui of Liangzhou to discover something was wrong when the concrete road was built.
Murong Jing went through the completed plan of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe carefully in his mind several times, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "Wonderful! I'll ask someone to write a letter to Jing Jue who is in Yu County, and ask him to arrange the plan there. thing."
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Chong Yi who was drowsy, and the smile on Murong Jing's face restrained a little.
Comparing Song Peiyu's and Lu Jihe's high-spirited faces, Murong Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It has always been a taboo for ministers to be strong and masters to be weak.
If His Highness can have His Majesty's arrogance, he can hold down the Song and Lu families.
Zhao Guo has both good seeds and a wealth of talents, so why worry about being unhappy?
Chong Yi, who was squinting his eyes, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the horizon.
Murong Jing's heart moved, and he followed Chong Yi's movements to look over, and soon saw Hai Dongqing swooping down.
Murong Jing spent a lot of effort to domesticate this Haidongqing himself, and it is much smarter than ordinary eagles.
Seeing that Murong Jing was not wearing armguards, it slowed down on Murong Jing's head. After circling a few times, it landed on the stone table obediently, and fixed its eyes on Murong Jing.
Seeing Hai Dongqing's 'accusing' gaze, Murong Jing slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and ordered the waiter outside to go to the kitchen to get meat strips.
I don't know if Haidongqing can understand the meaning of "meat strips", but he even flapped his wings a few times in place, looking very happy.
Not to mention Song Peiyu and the others saw Lie Xinxi, even Chong Yi took a few extra glances at this 'clever' bird of prey.
Seeing that everyone likes Hai Dongqing, Murong Jing is also willing to form a good relationship, saying that there happen to be a few eggs that are about to hatch in his eagle camp.Give it to them if they like it.
As for whether to wait until the kitty hatches, or wait until the kitty is trained to recognize the way to communicate, or even fight with the same kind in the sky, and then take the eagle away, it all depends on their own wishes.
Song Peiyu hesitated for a while, "If you live in Xianyang with me, don't you feel wronged?"
Murong Jing laughed loudly when he heard the words, "What's the grievance? No matter where it is, it will fly in the sky by itself. Can my nephew still fly with it?"
Song Peiyu laughed, and readily accepted Murong Jing's kindness.
Seeing Murong Jing looking at him, Bo Yang nodded excitedly, cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you General for your kindness."
Bo Yang has almost given up his heart to go back to the country of Yan, at least he shares the sorrows with Chong Yi, and when he returns to the country of Zhao, he will not be as embarrassed as before.
When he first settled down in Qizhen, Bo Yang made up his mind that since he has no chance of official career, he might as well concentrate on studying medicine.Therefore, he has long wanted to raise a medicinal eagle, and it would be great to have a condor under Murong Jing's tent.
Even if you fail to raise it successfully, it doesn't matter if you can't find medicine. It's so majestic to take it out when hunting in autumn!
Lu Jihe also nodded reservedly. He seemed much calmer than Bai Yang, but instead he had a dispute with Song Peiyu over how to raise an eagle. Neither of them could convince the other, and they also refused to back down. This time, Murong Jing was not let down. To determine who is right and wrong means.
Poor Bo Yang wanted to persuade the fight, but he became a fool without realizing it. Sometimes he felt that what Song Peiyu said was right, and sometimes he felt that Lu Jihe's opinion was reasonable.
Murong Jing looked at the dispute between Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe with great interest, feeling even more regretful.
It is rare that Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe have the friendship of classmates, and the friendship of sharing weal and woe. Even if they return to Xianyang and may turn against each other because of family interests, they will always have a love for each other.
If His Highness is willing to put some thought into it, he can balance the Song and Lu clans, and then subdue the Mu clan's influence, so that the court will become a three-legged confrontation... Sigh.
Thinking of this, Murong Jing realized that everyone else had agreed to go to Eagle Camp to see eagles, but Chong Yi remained silent.
"What kind of eagle does Your Highness want to choose?" Murong Jing looked at Chong Yi with a smile.
Chong Yi lowered his eyelids, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Hai Dongqing who was eating on the table.
"Your Highness! No!" Murong Jing was shocked when he saw this, and hurried to stop Chong Yi.
His Hai Dongqing is a descendant of the Eagle King. Not long after he was able to fly, he was accidentally targeted by a boa constrictor and was injured, so he fell into Murong Jing's hands.
Murong Jing loves Hai Dongqing's Shen Jun very much. He not only asks the military doctor to treat Hai Dongqing's injuries, but in order to subdue Hai Dongqing, he will stay by Hai Dongqing's side as long as he has time.
It's a pity that the Eagle King is the Eagle King, and what he yearns for is freedom.
After recovering from the injury, Hai Dongqing escaped from prison.
Murong Jing didn't want to think about the long process of boiling the eagle afterwards.
He even felt that not only he was the one who was tormenting the eagle, but the eagle was also tormenting him.
Anyway, when this sea dongqing gets old, he won't make another eagle.
But now, this sea dongqing has nothing to do with the old man, and can even help Murong Jing kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Murong Jing saw a scene that made him unbelievable.
Chong Yi spread his slender fingers, and easily grasped his Hai Dongqing in the palm of his hand, and used the other hand to look at Hai Dongqing's claws and wings.
He hates being touched the most. Over the years, Hai Dongqing, who has pecked through countless people's skulls and blinded countless people's eyes, is honest like a docile pigeon, allowing Chong Yi to lift it up and put it into any pose at will.
After Chong Yi checked Hai Dongqing's situation, he raised his hand and threw Hai Dongqing out.
Hai Dongqing fell in the air for a certain distance as if his wings were tied, and then he spread his wings and hovered over Murong Jing's head, making sharp calls from time to time, and refused to leave or land for a long time.
Others only think this scene is strange, but they have seen more exaggerated pictures before.
Chong Yilian was seriously injured and poisoned, and fell into a coma for three days.If he can wake up and kill more than a dozen vicious bandits, what if he just grabs Hai Dongqing in his hands and plays with it?
They have long agreed with Bo Yang's saying that 'heavy martial arts reach the pinnacle'.
Although I was surprised, I felt it was reasonable.
Murong Jing is different, he knows Hai Dongqing who he raised by himself too well.
Just based on Hai Dongqing's movements and calls at this time, he knew that just now Hai Dongqing nestled in Chong Yi's hands like a dove. It was not because he liked Chong Yi that he was so obedient, but because he couldn't resist.
After flying up, Haidongqing made angry and threatening voices but did not attack for a long time, also because it was frightened, it was afraid of Chong Yi, and could not even think of attacking.
If he was not still sitting here, Hai Dongqing was worried about him, otherwise he would have flown away long ago.
Chong Yi withdrew his gaze from Hai Dongqing, and looked at Murong Jing whose eyes darkened, "Using it to send a message, will you really not be caught?"
Chong Yi doubted the most proud number one eagle in the Eagle Camp. Instead of being offended, Murong Jing became very interested and asked Chong Yi if he would like to see Hai Dongqing kill the enemy with his own eyes.
Just now they had initially agreed that the first step for Qizhen's bandits to become more and more active was to eradicate all other bandit villages around them, so as to prevent them from making changes when they secretly built roads.
Chong Yi turned to look at Song Peiyu, "Do you see?"
Of course Song Peiyu didn't want to watch it. He was neither a general nor liked bloody scenes. Why did he rush to the front line of suppressing bandits?
But Chong Yi's posture, it is obvious that if he goes, Chong Yi will go, if he does not go, Chong Yi will not go.
Seeing the anticipation on Murong Jing's face out of the corner of his eye, Song Peiyu gritted his teeth fiercely, "Look!"
He still doesn't know why the Emperor Yonghe in the book suddenly dislikes Chongyi, and he doesn't know when Emperor Yonghe will dislike Chongyi.
What can be done now is to increase Chongyi's weight.
If Chong Yi could get Murong Jing's approval, his status would definitely be much more stable.
In Song Peiyu's view, Chong Yi's most likely to impress Murong Jing in a short period of time is his superb physical skills.
Even Chong Yi in the book was disliked by Emperor Yonghe in every possible way, but because he was the only son of Emperor Yonghe, Gou finally succeeded to the throne.
If Chong Yi can be canonized as the prince in advance and get the approval of more courtiers, his path will only be easier.
Because the Haidongqing that was found suddenly, the bandit suppression that could have been easily handed over to a general, became managed by Murong Jing himself.
The target that Murong Jing chose to do it himself was the largest bandit village between Yu County and Qi Town besides the bandit circle in Qi Town.
Different from the bandit villages around Qizhen, there are not only bandits in this Qingshan village, but also the bandits’ family members, and they will not kill all passing caravans every time. If the caravans can pay them a satisfactory protection fee, Qingshan Not only will the village not rob the caravan, but it will also escort the caravan to a safe place.
It is precisely because of this that if the Qihuo City wants to drive away all the caravans and secretly build roads, it will not tolerate this Qingshan Village.
In the early morning, the people in strong attire followed the three hundred soldiers personally selected by General Murong, and set off from Qizhen on fast horses, and did not arrive at the foot of Qingshanzhai until the afternoon.
Under Murong Jing's enthusiasm, Chong Yi was invited to the front.
Song Peiyu, Lu Jihe, and Bo Yang followed behind, feeling very embarrassed.
Lu Jihe couldn't help complaining to Song Peiyu in a low voice, "It's fine, Your Highness, why are we here?"
They don't need to establish prestige among the frontier army. When they see the bloody scene later, they don't show any strange expressions, so it's not bad for the frontier army to watch jokes.
As he said that, Lu Jihe couldn't help turning his head to look at the three hundred frontier soldiers behind him, and secretly said that Murong Jing went on the road.
Of the 300 people, he could recognize most of them, almost all the generals under Murong Jing's tent, and the people at the end of the team were all from hundreds of households.
Song Peiyu tightened the reins, struggling to control the galloping horse under his crotch, and said in a low voice, "If I said I didn't want to watch it at the time, what if His Highness directly rejected General Murong?"
How could such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity be missed!
Not to mention asking him to watch the process of suppressing the bandits, even if he was asked to personally suppress the bandits, he would have to grit his teeth and agree.
Lu Jihe's pupils silently spread half a circle, and he stretched out his hand to cover the pain on his face. After running fast for a day, he should feel hungry, but for some reason, after listening to Song Peiyu's words, he was inexplicably full.
"Then you just come! Why do you have to let me and Bo Yang also come?" Lu Jihe gritted his teeth.
Of course, it was because he had known for a long time that Chong Yi would not change his face no matter how bloody the scene was.
Song Peiyu was worried that she would accidentally expose herself, so she grabbed Lu Jihe and Bo Yang to support him.
Naturally, the truth cannot be told to Lu Jihe, who is already blazing and unable to hide the anger and remorse in his heart.
Song Peiyu had an idea, and thought of an excuse that Lu Jihe couldn't refuse, and said seriously, "Don't you think it's strange that only me and His Highness came out to fight against the bandits with General Murong?"
Bo Yang, who had been listening silently for a while, couldn't help interrupting, "What's so strange?"
"Hmm..." Song Peiyu blinked her eyes, her face full of innocence, "It's just that it's easy to think of weird aspects."
Bo Yang was even more confused when he heard the words, and said aggrievedly, "Can't you be more straightforward? What's so weird..."
Lu Jihe stretched out his hand expressionlessly to push Bo Yang's face away, and stopped Bo Yang's questioning in time. It was rare for him to kindly remind Bo Yang, "Trust me, you don't want to know what weird things he is talking about."
The three murmured in the back, but Chong Yi in the front was unwilling.
He turned his head frequently to look at the back, and after looking a few times, he simply pulled up the rein and wanted to go to the back to find Song Peiyu and the others.
Seeing this, Murong Jing had someone call Song Peiyu and others to the front.
In a bandit village with more than 1000 people, not all of them are young and strong bandits. In Murong Jing's eyes, there is almost nothing to pay attention to.
But the main purpose of his trip was to show Chong Yi the frontier army, and he even had the idea of letting Chong Yi take people to suppress the bandits himself.
Murong Jing thought he couldn't guess Chong Yi's meaning, so he cut straight to the point, "Your Highness, please personally lead the troops to boost morale."
The eyes of Song Peiyu and Lu Jihe, who stood quietly in place, lit up. They were waiting for this sentence.
With this sentence in place, any bloody scene you see today is worth it!
Lu Jihe knew that if Chong Yi opened his mouth, it would be a blurted refusal, so he rushed ahead of Chong Yi and said, "His Royal Highness said in the past that he must personally defeat the Yan army in the future to avenge Huashan. Today is just to practice with these bandits. "
Song Peiyu seamlessly continued, "With Your Highness's skills, mere bandits will surely be unable to do anything to you."
Seeing this, Bo Yang opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say, so he said in a daze, "I'll go with His Highness!"
Lu Jihe: ...
Song Peiyu: ...
Chong Yi closed his mouth, his eyes flicked across Bo Yang's face, and stayed on Song Peiyu's face for a long time.
Lu Jihe quietly took two steps back, squinted at the white clouds in the sky, smiled broadly, and said in a loud voice, "Today, His Highness went out for the first time, and he wrote down the incident of suppressing the bandits in writing, and sent them to Xianyang as soon as possible. I think His Majesty will receive the letter After that, you will definitely be happy."
In the end, Bo Yang, who offered to accompany Chong Yi to suppress the bandits, stayed at the foot of the mountain, but Song Peiyu, who had an innocent face, was taken away. Before going up the mountain, he looked at Bo Yang with an unusually 'kind' gaze.
When the dust raised by the horse's hooves had settled down, Bo Yang suddenly sighed melancholy, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
Lu Jihe patted Bo Yang's shoulder affectionately, "Your Highness is willing to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and you must be fully credited."
"Really?" Bo Yang looked at Lu Jihe hesitantly, but there was an unconcealable excitement in the depths of his pupils.
When Lu Jihe saw that Bo Yang really believed him, the kindness in his eyes became even stronger, and he nodded affirmatively, "Really!"
The process of going up the mountain to suppress bandits is very simple and rough.
From the very beginning, they didn't intend to treat Qingshan Village like they did to the Qizhen bandit circle, leaving no one alive.
Odd goods city needs a lot of labor to build roads and repair the city.
And the flames of war in Zeng Town are spreading faster and faster, and it is unknown when it will spread to Qihuo City. The garrison in Qihuo City must practice diligently and be vigilant at all times.
The people in Qingshanzhai can just replace the garrison and go to build roads or repair the inner city.
As far as they know, there are several factions in Qingshanzhai. Some have married wives and had children to open up wasteland in the mountains, some survive on protection fees from businessmen, and only a small part are the same as the group of bandits in the Qizhen bandit circle. Burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil.
This time the bandits are suppressed, only these bandits are really going to be suppressed, and they are also the bandits with the most voice in Qingshan Village.
If you are crushed by strength, you don't need any tricks.
Murong Jing divided the frontier army into three teams, and the two teams went to capture the bandits on the other two hills, while he led Chong Yi and Song Peiyu straight to the most "prosperous" place in Qingshan Village.
As soon as he entered the range of the thatched cottage, Song Peiyu heard the man's grinning laughter and the girl's crying and begging for mercy.
The faces of all the people who went up the mountain changed drastically, and their pace increased silently.
The spectators outside the thatched hut also saw the frontier army rushing up the mountain. After a short period of panic, they all raised their swords, shouted and cursed, and rushed towards the frontier army.
Perhaps it was because the panic on Song Peiyu's face was too obvious, or Chong Yi's face and the young body that hadn't fully grown were too confusing, there were nearly [-] bandits here, and a small half of them rushed towards them.
Seeing this, Song Peiyu took two steps forward subconsciously, grabbed Chong Yi's clothes, and realized that he might restrict Chong Yi's movements, so she quickly let go of her hand and looked to the left and right blankly.
With Murong Jing's thoughtfulness, he will definitely arrange someone to protect him.
Before Song Peiyu could figure out why, Chong Yi had already pulled him into his arms.
Chong Yi held the back of Song Peiyu's head that was about to be lifted with his hand, and said softly, "Don't look up."
Song Peiyu shut up honestly, he could already smell blood.
Murong Jing, who stood half a step behind Chong Yi, took out his saber and handed it to Chong Yi, without any intention of actively stopping the bandits.
Chong Yi didn't need Murong Jing to help him stop people, he held Song Peiyu in his arms with one hand, and swung a knife with the other to meet the bandits who rushed to his face.
Killed with one blow, never swung the second knife.
Murong Jing's grip on the handle of the knife gradually loosened, and he focused on Chong Yi, who was heroically killing the bandit.
Although these bandits have no rules, they are all young and strong, and they have been licking blood on the tip of their knives for many years, so they naturally have a sense of evil spirit and drive.
However, while Chong Yi was protecting only one person, he dealt with all the bandits who were close to him like he was chopping melons and vegetables, without even changing the frequency of his breathing.
Murong Jing's adjutant did not know when he stood behind Murong Jing, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty hid His Highness really well, I have never heard that His Highness has such skills."
Murong Jing shook his head, as if he was asking the adjutant, but also talking to himself, and said in a low voice, "How could it be possible to hide it?"
Although he could understand that Emperor Yonghe died in battle because of Chongzong, he didn't want Chongyi to contact the army again.
But since Chong Yi has such talent, it should never be wasted.
Even if Chong Yi doesn't have the ability to form troops, as long as he can stand on the battlefield and inspire the troops.With his status, he can gain the support of countless soldiers.
If Chong Yi can quickly grasp the general power in his own hands.
Even if the Song family and the Lu family can flutter, what's the matter?
The corner of Murong Jing's mouth raised a spine-chilling smile, and his eyes staring at Chong Yi became brighter and brighter.
He doesn't seem to need to resign.
Chong Yi suddenly frowned, and turned to look at Murong Jing who was several people away from him.
Murong Jing was standing calmly under a lush tree, looking at him with a smile on his face, without even pulling out his knife.
Although he was wearing a riding suit, he looked more like a literati who was reciting poems and painting.
Song Peiyu was always paying attention to Chongyi's movement, and found that Chongyi's movements stopped, but the sound of weapons colliding around did not stop, and immediately wanted to lift his head from Chongyi's shoulder, "What's wrong, are you injured?"
"No..." Chong Yi temporarily put Song Peiyu down, pressed one hand on the back of Song Peiyu's head, and asked Song Peiyu to bury Song Peiyu on his shoulder again.The wrist holding the knife was reversed, just touching the big knife coming from behind, and said softly, "I saw a fox."
Song Peiyu said 'ah' and didn't say anything else, for fear of distracting Chongyi.
fox?
Although the bandit village was in the mountains, the fighting here was so fierce, why would the fox run this way.
Is it lost?
Feeling the splash of liquid on her cheek, Song Peiyu immediately put the fox aside, and buried her face on Chongyi's shoulder vigorously.
He was wrong. At this time, he should be guiding the townspeople to build roads in Qihuo City, instead of becoming Chongyi's pendant in broad daylight in full view.
From the very beginning, he shouldn't have promised to come and see the bandits obsessively.
The only thing to be thankful for now is that Lu Jihe stayed at the foot of the mountain, otherwise he would definitely have strange thoughts again.
Murong Jing's adjutant hesitated, and reminded Murong Jing vaguely, "Your Highness is always holding Song Binke like this? Why don't I go and pick Song Binke over, so as not to distract His Highness."
"No need." Murong Jing waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll watch here and definitely won't hurt them. Let's see where His Highness's limit is."
As he spoke, Murong Jing winked at the adjutant.
The adjutant hesitated to speak, and the general was right to say so, but he always felt that there was something strange about it.
But I can't say what is strange about it.
Forget it, don't think about it, the general can't be wrong.
He then drove the other bandits over.
Even if something is wrong, it will definitely not be hidden from the general's eyes.
