Brother, did you confess today?

Early the next morning, Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang were woken up by the noise outside.At this time, the sun is just right, and the weather is not so hot in early autumn.

Xu Xiangfei got up and opened the window, trying to see the source of the movement, but found nothing, turned his head and urged Zhu Xuguang to get up quickly: "Let's go and see what's going on."

Zhu Xuguang hummed: "Go find something to eat first, I think the Seventh Prince is delaying on purpose, I don't know what he is thinking."

The two of them talked about it yesterday, and now the two of them have quite a lot of chips, and General Qi will probably stand on their side. If the little prince can't prove that he is a wise king, anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so General Qi will simply not help.

As for General Chang's old department, if he insisted on rebelling, it would bring some troubles, but this is the worst policy, if it is not necessary, Xu Xiangfei thinks it is better to make friends with the little prince.

The identity of the little prince is logical, and there are things they can't see through. It is really inappropriate to fight against such a person, even if they don't die.

However, Xu Xiangfei guessed that the little prince had no intention of attacking them, but he had to discuss carefully what he wanted.

After the two of them washed, they opened the door and a maid greeted them. She bowed slightly and led the two to sit aside. She served them breakfast and said, "The lord is training soldiers in the front yard. After breakfast, go to the front yard to discuss important matters, and the slaves will take the two of you there later."

The maid also looked to be in her 20s, she was quite mature and stable, and she spoke slowly, but her tone was brisk, and she was not cautious about the Seventh Prince.

Xu Xiangfei thanked her, and sat down with Zhu Xuguang. On the table were shredded chicken porridge, two dishes of side dishes, and steamed buns with eggs. The meal was just a bit more than the two of them could bear, and it seemed that it was carefully prepared.

Xu Xiangfei took the steamed buns, tore them piece by piece, fed them to Zhu Xuguang, and said with a smile: "It seems that we have a lot of face, at least the senior brother will not prepare this dish."

They seldom eat breakfast when they go out, or they just eat two mouthfuls of dry food, and occasionally pass by the steamed bun shop to buy a few steamed buns. They need to eat porridge and rice slowly, and they don't have this time.

The shredded chicken porridge is still warm, and it tastes smooth and soft. The rich aroma of the chicken soup mixed with the fragrance of the rice grains makes it even more exciting. It looks like it was made by a good cook.

After the two of them finished their breakfast, before the maid came to look for them, Xu Xiangfei slipped aside to look, and saw the maid eating with several young girls. From his eyes, he could tell that although the dishes were different, the ingredients were similar.

He sneaked back again, and whispered in Zhu Xuguang's ear: "I see, life here is really good. Those little girls are eating the same food as us, and there is no surprise in their eyes, it seems that it is usually the same."

To see how a family is doing, it depends on how these maids and servants are treated. The meals are too different from those of the guests. Those who are afraid of the master's family, those who are cautious and dare not be generous, are mostly not very good.

In the past, all the maids in the He family were terrified, and they were terrified at first glance. If they said there was no secret, no one would believe it.At least with the Seventh Prince, the ordinary people he saw along the way were doing well, and if ordinary people were like this, it meant that he was at least not a cruel and extravagant master.

The maid came and led the two of them to the front yard. The house is not big, and there are only a dozen maids and servants, but there are quite a lot of young men and women with martial arts skills. They all gather in the front yard to compete in pairs. Walking in ranks, shouting one, two, three, four, making some strange movements of turning left and right.

The two were curious, stopped in their tracks, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what you're doing?"

The maid looked at them strangely. She was of a humble status and came here after being rescued by the soldiers led by the Seventh Prince, so she didn't know the outside world.But in her opinion, it is said that the outside is gorgeous and colorful, so why don't these two people even know about training?

She thought about it: "It's just training, turning left and right, and then standing at attention. The maids like slaves have also been trained. It's just that slaves are not talented, so they can't stay by the Lord's side and do their best for him."

The maid was really sad, and she sighed as she spoke, Xu Xiangfei smiled back when she heard it: "You entertain the guests for His Highness, and you do what you are supposed to do, and you do your best."

The words were the same as what the master said, the maid had a little affection for Xu Xiangfei, and she rolled her eyes: "I have already brought the two of you here, so I left first."

The Seventh Prince and Elder Xu were both on the other side of the front yard, staring at the young men and women who were training. He saw Xu Xiangfei and Xu Xiangfei coming, and turned his head to give Uncle Xu a word. The Seventh Prince walked away.

Elder Xu stood directly behind the seventh prince on the left, and Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang couldn't take the liberty of standing side by side with the seventh prince, so they stood behind the right.

The Seventh Prince stood with his hands behind his back, with a tall and straight figure, like a pine and cypress standing proudly in the snow, his eyes were calm and firm, and his demeanor was outstanding.He didn't stop the actions of the two, nor did he speak, but continued to watch the training.

Standing in front of the phalanx was also a middle-aged man about the same age as Elder Xu, but he was tall and tall, with a cloth scarf covering his head, and he had a fierce aura, shouting loudly: "Two people fighting——"

After giving an order, the young men and women stood facing each other, and took advantage of the crowded terrain to wrestle. They didn't use internal strength, they were just training physical skills, and the boxing and palm techniques were obviously of the same origin.

Zhu Xuguang has also seen this method with Uncle Nan, but it is not as systematic as the Seventh Prince's. It is obvious that he has a unique training method.

The Seventh Prince suddenly said: "These people lost their relatives in the disasters in the past, some were displaced, lived by begging, and some were sold as slaves. But looking at them now, who would think that they used to know nothing about martial arts?"

This time Zhu Xuguang was really surprised.

Practicing martial arts is not an easy task. Generally speaking, the older you get, the harder it is to practice martial arts. You can practice moves at most, but without internal strength, you can only beat ordinary people.Even Duyingmen, which also adopts orphans, takes gifted children back for training since they were young, and does not accept older children or adults at all.

But the Seventh Prince said that these people did not know martial arts at all before.

Zhu Xuguang observed them carefully, and found that although these people were not burly, they obviously had been practicing martial arts for a long time. Their lower back flying kicks were very beautiful, their eyes were firm and calm, neither fearful nor fierce.

The Seventh Prince saw his doubts and smiled softly: "I just used some methods to train these people like this. What do you think is the difference between them and the soldiers in the past?"

Zhu Xuguang thought for a moment: "The eyes."

The Seventh Prince nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's the eyes. Maybe they are not as strong as you, but they know why they are fighting."

Only now did he look at the two seriously: "What about you, why did you come here?"

Mr. Xu stepped back in time, and the front yard was instantly emptied, leaving only four people standing.

The Seventh Prince continued: "This is the method I learned from other people. In the past, the conscripts were loose peasants who had not received serious training and were afraid of the enemy ahead. Even if there are famous and powerful troops, The family soldiers raised by some people have the name of a country, but have no reality. The people here may not be as strong as some family soldiers, but their loyal object is not me..."

He fixedly looked at Zhu Xuguang: "It's the life I gave them."

Zhu Xuguang thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No, they are loyal to His Highness, even if someone else can give them more favorable conditions, these people will not betray His Highness."

"That's right." The Seventh Prince didn't deny it, "But it's just because I appeared in front. In the past, I couldn't figure out why the hearts of the people were scattered and why the originally powerful army was defeated. Now I have some ideas."

He didn't continue to talk about what he was thinking, but laughed again: "I know you are scared, looking at the people on my side, they are much stronger than those on your side, and you are worried about their lives, right? "

Zhu Xuguang was silent, and Xu Xiangfei then took the words: "Your Highness's words are wrong. Fumo is the only son of General Chang, and General Chang has served the country all his life. His generals had to hide because they were afraid of being plotted against by traitors. These people are not Fu Mo's soldiers are Da Qi's soldiers."

The Seventh Prince laughed loudly: "You are very smart. You not only expressed your loyalty to me, but also hinted that I can't touch your junior brother... Tsk, it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see you in the past."

This remark was a little strange, Xu Xiangfei blinked, pondered it carefully, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your praise, Your Highness, I think His Highness's words have already explained what this army is going for. If this is the case, why don't you speak up?"

The Seventh Prince wondered: "It's strange, I can win without you now, what are you going to use to convince me?"

His phoenix eyes are cold, and he speaks innocently, but in fact, he hides coldly, intending to let Xu Xiangfei and the two of them confess all their bargaining chips.Naturally, Xu Xiangfei couldn't let him do what he wanted.

"Does Your Highness really think that he will definitely win?"

It was only Xu Xiangfei's words that made the Seventh Prince's expression really change, and the atmosphere froze for an instant, and Elder Xu also narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Xu Xiangfei.

The Seventh Prince's silence did not prevent Xu Xiangfei from speaking. He lowered his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness can do it, so I naturally dare not doubt it. But Your Highness said earlier that destiny is man-made, and destiny can be man-made. Why does His Highness think that he can do it?" What about this destiny?"

"This is...very interesting." The Seventh Prince straightened his collar and put his hands behind his back, "Do you think I can't?"

"If Your Highness is really sure, why do you have to do everything possible to let us come here? When Xu went to Yu Langzhong to seek medical treatment, he once met a blindfolded Taoist pointing out the way. Should be able to clear up the confusion, right?"

Xu Xiangfei doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, it's good if the Taoist's words are half-truth, half-false, and it's weird if they hit all of them.He once thought it was from Zhu Xuguang's mother's family, and he also wondered if it was specially sent by General Chang's side.

But it was Uncle Nan who stood by Zhu Xuguang's side. If he did it, Han Deyu wouldn't know about it.And isn't the person from Zhu Xuguang's mother's family the little prince?

It is impossible for the little prince to not want the support of General Qi, but he could not win his trust, so he turned to his relationship with Han Deyu. Although Han Deyu and Xu Xiangfei first sought the Taoist priest for fortune-telling that day, the Taoist priest must follow them all the way. Not counting, there is always a time to count.

This was indeed a coincidence, maybe it was just one of the people arranged by the little prince, but since the goal was successfully achieved, it didn't matter so much.Later, Han Deyu told Uncle Nan and Zhu Xuguang about the little prince, which indirectly explained what he had found.

Han Deyu didn't believe in ghosts and gods even more than Xu Xiangfei did. The Taoist priest asked him to give Xu Xiangfei something, but he didn't investigate people to find out the truth.

The Seventh Prince didn't answer, but said: "You think so, I need you?"

"Do you dare to say, how did you know all this, Your Highness?"

The Seventh Prince's eyes became colder.
