The rebirth of Jiangshan is hired

"Your Highness..."

Seeing that His Royal Highness was obviously becoming more and more difficult to fool, Mu Qiu suddenly felt some headaches.He shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, and was about to think of some way to persuade him, when the soldiers who were exploring the way in front ran back quickly: "General, it has been found out. The front is indeed a canyon, and the details can't be ignored. Zhang Yu, the road is rugged and bumpy, if you want all the troops to pass through, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

"Understood, let's go down first."

Song Zichen nodded, and was about to tell the soldiers to go down to rest first, but Mu Qiu suddenly raised his hand to stop the man: "Your Highness, why don't you just call the generals over to discuss matters. First discuss the arrangements for crossing the valley, and the rest of us Talk about it later."

"Alright, then send an order to the Chinese army to set up camp on the spot and make preparations—call some of them over and say that I have something to discuss with them."

Song Zichen nodded, and gave instructions to the soldiers, and ordered people to quickly clean up a flat place, and tie up the Chinese army tent first.Mu Qiu looked at his commanding and steady posture, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Your Highness is indeed quite talented in the military formation, and such power would be extremely difficult to develop if you hadn't spent a few years in the military camp. "

Song Zichen's family knew their own affairs well, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little guilty when Mu Qiu praised him like this, but it was difficult to explain clearly, so he could only bite the bullet and answer vaguely—it's not that he never gave birth to counting everything with Mu Qiu The idea of ​​explaining, but every time I lose my courage before opening my mouth.He didn't dare to think about it, if Mu Qiu found out that he suddenly changed his mind because of a new start, what kind of reaction would he have, and whether he would still get along with him as he does now.Rather than lose that person because of this, he would rather bury all of this deep in his heart, and just keep deceiving himself and others to hold the peace at present...

"Your Highness didn't have such a shy temper when he was praised, when did he become so shy?"

Suddenly Mu Qiu's teasing voice came from beside him, and Song Zichen regained his composure, coughed lightly and said solemnly, "Don't talk nonsense, haven't I always been such a humble person?"

Seeing Song Zichen's upright expression, Mu Qiu spontaneously showed some respect, nodded sincerely and said with a light smile, "Your Highness really has a lot of skills—if you can keep this state, the affairs of the court will come true." With eight or nine points of confidence, I can finally rest assured."

"You'd better not worry, I can't maintain such a shameless state..."

Song Zichen couldn't bear it himself, he waved his hands impatiently, and his expression instantly collapsed.Mu Qiu slightly opened his eyes slightly in surprise, seeing his sudden change of temperament, couldn't help laughing out loud, and inadvertently choked by the cold wind, covered his mouth and coughed lightly again.

"Mu Qiu—"

Song Zichen hurriedly helped him up, patted his back gently, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't keep laughing at me... and cough every time you laugh, I feel distressed, and I don't want to be with you Care about. If this continues, I will be completely determined by you."

"Don't dare." Mu Qiu waved his hands with a smile, slightly calmed the surging blood in his chest, coughed lightly and said solemnly: "I was determined by His Highness—remember the attributive words that the Grand Master gave His Highness back then It's 'too strong and doesn't know how to be flexible', looking at it now, only 'flexible' is left in these eight characters..."

Song Zichen didn't know that he had some kind of grand master to give him an attributive sentence. He listened to it in surprise for a while, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.Just about to try my best to explain one or two more, a bold voice suddenly came from the side: "The prince is hiding in the side with Mr. Joining the Army and whispering again - what are you talking about so happily, why don't you let us have fun? Happy?"

When he came out, in order to make things easier for Mu Qiu, Song Zichen indeed asked his father for an official position in the army on his behalf.It's just that Mu Qiu has been watched by him all the way, and he is not allowed to be overworked, and joining the army is of no practical use. Even Mu Qiu himself can hardly remember that he still has such a position.At this time, someone suddenly called out, and it took him a moment to realize that he was addressing himself, coughed lightly, raised his hands and cupped his fists and smiled, "General Meng, you're being polite."

"There's no need to behave so much in the army, and you don't have to be polite when you join the army. If you don't turn around, we'll have to ask the prince to beat you up again."

The man who came here had a dark complexion and a rough and naive demeanor. He hugged Song Zichen and Mu Qiu carelessly, and called out respectfully to his lord.Song Zichen nodded with his hands behind his back, kicked him suddenly, and scolded him with a smile: "You talk too much all day long, what did you do with joining the army while staring at me - if you have the ability, go find a wife yourself, the army You are the only one left in the middle school, too much free time, isn’t it?”

The man was not annoyed by being kicked, he waved his hand happily, rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "How can it be, I have to urge food delivery to set up camp, and I am the busiest job all day long. If the prince If you can show compassion and ask us to change jobs with Lao Peng, then I promise not to disturb the meeting between the prince and Mr. Joining the Army..."

This man's name was Meng Daxian, and he was the only one called Song Zichen who could be trusted among the generals who came out to fight with him. It wasn't because of how loyal he was later, but because he died in battle when he first conquered the west of Liaoning. , did not catch up with the subsequent mutiny in the army.

Seeing that the only person with no black history had such a heartless attitude, Song Zichen couldn't help but feel that his previous life was really miserable.He sighed secretly with complicated emotions, and told Meng Da to wait outside the tent to wait for the rest of the people to arrive. He led Mu Qiu into the tent and sat down together, secretly thinking about the son Chou Yinmao of these people in his heart.

This time there were four generals who came out, besides Meng Daxian, who was accompanying the army in charge of grain, Xue Zhao from the left army, Tian Wenkai from the right army, and Peng Feigui from the front army—this was the person he had confirmed to be Song Zixuan remaining after removal.Except for Meng Daxian, the rest of the four had participated in the counter attack against him, but Peng Feigui had never made a move from the beginning to the end, and Tian Wenkai and Xue Zhao also kept their sense of proportion when they attacked. He thought twice before leaving. Finally, the four of them were taken on the road together.

After all——with the degree of betrayal in his previous life, if he really wanted to eliminate all those who had slightly different intentions, apart from Mu Qiu, he might not even have a serious person left...

Rubbing his forehead with a headache and sighing softly, Song Zichen almost wanted to punch the old self.Just as he was in a trance, a map was gently laid out in front of him, he subconsciously raised his head, and met Mu Qiu's concerned gaze: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, as long as you can ensure stability, you must pass the valley smoothly." It's actually not difficult. It's just that our matter needs to be considered a little more, but it may not be that there is no solution."

"Okay, don't think about it too much."

Song Zichen let out a long breath, wiped his face vigorously, and turned his attention back to the map in front of him.Forced himself to watch for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind, rubbed his forehead and raised his head, tentatively whispered: "Mu Qiu, you have seen the four of them in the past few days... What do you think? Which of them is more trustworthy?"

"I don't know each other very well, and I just have a hunch—Your Highness just listen to it, don't take it too seriously."

Mu Qiu shook his head, and sat down by himself, pondered for a moment before saying slowly: "Tian Wenkai and Xue Zhao are unreliable people. These two people may not have differences now, but they may not always have them. They actually There is no position to speak of, it's just a grass swaying with the wind, and it's all about following whoever sees who is strong and gaining power. As for General Meng - he has a straightforward temperament and is a serious warrior, but he is a bit too straightforward to entrust him with great responsibility..."

"At this point, the two of us want to go together." Song Zichen shook his head and smiled wryly, and threw himself back into the chair with all his strength, sighing helplessly, "Those who are trustworthy are not trustworthy, and those who are reliable are not trustworthy—I What have you done all these years to get yourself to this point..."

"His Royal Highness is not yet able to gain a firm footing, how can he be so disheartened?"

Mu Qiu warmly persuaded him, patted his arm twice, and then said slowly after a moment of pondering: "Actually——in my opinion, General Peng may not be unable to accomplish great things. This person stands upright and acts with restraint. If His Highness can have a deep friendship with General Peng and treat each other with sincerity, maybe you can get a good general in exchange."

Listening to his words, Song Zichen was terrified in his heart—he only thought that those people who betrayed relatives in his previous life were not worthy of trust, but he forgot what he had done under Song Zixuan's instigation in his previous life, but he might not be able to win the hearts of the people.If he blindly sticks to the confinement of the previous life and stands still, he is afraid that he will inevitably walk on that dead end in this life.

"But judging from the current situation, General Peng is still needed in the army. If something happens to me and Your Highness, only by relying on General Peng can we have a chance to turn things around—so we can't entrust him with the matter of luring the enemy. Do……"

Mu Qiu didn't know what was going on in his heart, and continued thinking slowly.Song Zichen recovered from his contemplation, and after hearing his words, his complexion sank slightly: "After all, you still want to go by yourself—but what if I disagree?"

Mu Qiu was interrupted by him, subconsciously raised his head to meet His Royal Highness's serious eyes, paused for a moment before calmly said: "Then I will knock His Highness unconscious and send him there in a carriage."

"what?"

Song Zichen didn't expect such an answer, he blinked his eyes in astonishment, seeing Mu Qiu's expression that didn't seem to be joking, suddenly a little chill came down his back.Standing up abruptly, she took two steps back vigilantly: "Mu Qiu, you can't bully people like this..."
