Shizi's farm husband

"My son, you are my son."

Du Shicheng immediately recognized Xiao Ling's identity, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Third uncle, what are you talking about, the prince? Isn't Xiao Ling a farmer?" Du Chunsheng was stunned by Du Shicheng's words. Although he felt that Xiao Ling looked familiar, no matter what, he would not think of that prince. .

Because Du Chunsheng knew that the only prince who could make Du Shicheng look like this was the prince of Zhennan who had disappeared five years ago and was considered dead by default.

"Chunsheng, don't be rude."

Du Shicheng knelt down on one knee on the spot, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it's really great that you are safe and sound, it must be God's blessing."

"Uh, Shicheng, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all. How come it's a son of a prince? A farmer's son?" Lu Chenghao scratched his hair in confusion.

Li Lie is also in the same situation.

"Teacher, I never thought we would see each other after so many years."

Xiao Ling helped Du Shicheng up in front of everyone, indirectly acknowledging his identity.

Du Shicheng was the original teacher in the palace who had been teaching martial arts and enlightenment to him. Just now, the moment he saw Du Shicheng, Xiao Ling knew that Du Shicheng would definitely recognize him.

"My son, the last general has been looking for you, why haven't you returned to the palace?"

Du Shicheng said excitedly.

For so many years, Du Shicheng was the only one who never gave up looking for Xiao Ling. He came here this time because of the familiar sentence in Du Chunsheng's letter.

"Teacher, do you know why I disappeared back then?"

Xiao Ling pondered for a while, and asked questions instead of answering.

"Didn't you stumble and fall off the cliff?"

Du Shicheng was puzzled.

His heart was full of self-blame. If he had gone out with Xiao Ling, such an accident would never have happened.

"no."

Xiao Ling shook his head, let go of Du Shicheng's hand, walked a few steps forward, and then continued, "Back then, I didn't make a mistake at all, but was tricked by Qi Ye and almost lost my life, but luckily I was lucky. Escaped."

"How, how could..."

Du Shicheng was dumbfounded. He wanted to say it was impossible, but when he thought of Qi Ye's abnormal behavior in recent years and King Zhennan's chronic illness, he fell silent.

If what Xiao Ling said is true.

Doesn't it mean that the current Zhennan Palace has fallen into Qi Ye's hands?

"Teacher, I don't want to believe it either. Qi Ye, who has always been caring for me, would do this, but this is what I saw with my own eyes, so I can't believe it." Xiao Ling replied word by word.

"Qi Ye, how dare he..."

"Because he wants his son to be the king of Zhennan, isn't it?"

Xiao Ling directly pointed out Qi Ye's ambition, "Teacher, I hope you can help."

"I help."

Du Shicheng didn't even think about it, and immediately agreed, "My lord has the kindness to know me, and you and I have the love of disciples. How can I just watch Zhennan Wangfu fall into the hands of traitors."

"Wait, listen to me first."

Lu Chenghao yelled, then cast his unbelievable eyes on Xiao Ling, swallowed, and said, "You, could you be the prince who disappeared from Zhennan Palace five years ago, Xiao Junyan? "

Hearing so much from Du Shicheng and Xiao Ling, if he couldn't figure it out, he would be an idiot.

"My name is Xiao Ling now, and Xiao Junyan died five years ago."

Xiao Ling said meaningfully, his eyes gradually became sharper, he looked at the three of Li Lie back and forth, and said, "I believe you have only noticed my purpose now, Lord Lu, Lord Du, and the head of a thousand households will help me ?”

"Uh……"

Du Chunsheng was the first to react.

Xiao Ling's move was obviously intended to drag them into trouble, wasn't it?

Danger and opportunity have always been interdependent.

If they succeed in this move, it means that they have joined Xiao Ling's camp. As long as Xiao Ling becomes the prince, they will rise with the tide.

But if it fails, it will fall into hell beyond redemption.

The Qi family behind Qi Ye is not so easy to overthrow. Besides, the Qi family now has a Ning Gui servant in the palace who is being favored by the emperor, which is even more powerful.

"Okay, I'll help you with this."

Li Lie responded decisively.

Although Xiao Ling's true identity shocked Li Lie, Li Lie is an ambitious person who is willing to gamble. In addition, Li Lie has paid attention to Xiao Ling from time to time in recent years, so he naturally knows that Xiao Ling will not do it. things to grasp.

"Since Shicheng wants to help you, please join me."

Lu Chenghao also replied readily.

Lu Chenghao originally didn't want to join any forces, but after what happened with the Seventh Prince, he changed his mind.

"Master Du, what about you?"

Xiao Ling asked again, not giving Du Chunsheng any chance to escape.

"It's… okay."

Du Chunsheng sighed, and agreed, "Third Uncle wants to help you, if I refuse, is it reasonable?"

"I owe you all a favor."

Xiao Ling's move was undoubtedly an olive branch to them.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, Zhennan King was one of the three kings with military power. Although there were accidents in recent years and it began to decline day by day, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses. Even the current emperor dared not move easily South Palace.

"My lord, I don't know what you plan to do?"

Du Chunsheng took advantage of the situation to ask questions.

But before Xiao Ling could answer, bad news came from outside.

"My lord, the enemy army has started to attack again." A soldier shouted nervously outside the tent.

"Too bad." Du Chunsheng's expression turned ugly in an instant, "My lord, the situation is urgent now, please allow me to deal with the matter at hand first, and talk about other things."

As he spoke, Du Chunsheng turned his gaze to Li Lie.

"Li Lie, where are the soldiers under your command? Let them join the defense of the city. The most important thing for us now is to defend Qinzhou."

"Master Du, there is something unclear about this subordinate. Didn't you say before that Qinzhou can last a little longer?"

Li Lie asked puzzledly.

"Hmph, our army will be in such a state now, we must thank the Seventh Prince who wholeheartedly wants to make military exploits."

Mentioning the Seventh Prince Xiao Qize made Du Chunsheng very angry.

Not to mention the tricks that hindered his careful planning, he also lost a battle that should have been won, causing countless soldiers to die in vain, and then because of fear, he left the people of Qinzhou and returned to Beijing in despair.

If he hadn't been concerned about his status as a prince, Du Chunsheng would have executed him long ago.

"Chunsheng, don't talk about the royal family."

Lu Chenghao reminded him.

"Lord Lu, I don't want to say it either, but this time, the Seventh Prince has gone too far." Du Chunsheng sneered disdainfully.

"I have a way."

Suddenly, Xiao Ling said, "Later, you continue to guard Qinzhou, while I will lead people to attack the enemy's rear."

As soon as these words came out, Du Shicheng immediately exploded.

"My lord, this is absolutely unacceptable, if your illness..."

"No problem."

Xiao Ling shook his head and interrupted, "I'm no longer the thin Xiao Junyan back then. Besides, I had a similar experience before, so there won't be any problems."

"My lord, is your method really useful?"

Du Chunsheng frowned and questioned.

"The head of the thousand households also knows that if Mr. Du doesn't believe it, he can ask."

"it is true."

Li Lie nodded, "Master Du, do you still remember that I was injured a few days ago? It was Xiao Ling, uh, no, he was the prince, who not only successfully burned the enemy's granary, but also shot at me Only by saving me can I escape the catastrophe, the son's skill and courage are really extraordinary."

"My son, can you do two tricks with me?"

Lu Chenghao made an invitation, and seemed to be very interested in Xiao Ling's skills.

"can."

"That's offended."

After speaking, Lu Chenghao took the lead in attacking. Xiao Ling knew that Lu Chenghao intended to test out, so he directly fought with Lu Chenghao with military fists, which made Lu Chenghao more and more frightened.

"Assigned."

While Lu Chenghao was absent-minded, Xiao Ling's knife had already landed on Lu Chenghao's neck.

"The son is really powerful, and Lu is willing to bow down."

Lu Chenghao stroked his beard and laughed, "I originally thought that the prince wanted to rely on our identities, but now, I am not sure what the prince thinks."

"I will rely on my own strength to return to Zhennan Palace."

Xiao Ling replied plainly, "And you will be my secret line, helping me spy on the movements of some people, that's all."

"Good good."

Du Shicheng said yes repeatedly, "The prince back then also won the title of King of Zhennan in this way. I believe that with the ability of the son, he will definitely be able to do it."

Du Shicheng was a well-known Confucian general. Just by carefully observing Xiao Ling's movements and the thin calluses on his hands, he knew that Xiao Ling had put a lot of effort into these years of disappearance.

Du Chunsheng's words about peasants are probably true.

……

"Well, Lord Du, this time I really showed a real sense of prestige. In the future, when I am disarmed and return to the field, I must tell my son and grandson that I know the story of the son of Prince Zhennan."

Li Lie stretched in a relaxed mood.

"Li Lie, tell me, does Qi Jingyuan know that Xiao Ling is the missing Prince of Zhennan?"

"Ah? What does this have to do with Qi Jingyuan?"

Li Lie couldn't turn his head around for a while, and looked at Du Chunsheng suspiciously.

"The second concubine of Zhennan Prince's Mansion is Qi Jingyuan's first-born brother, and the elder brother of Qi Rui, the wife of Xiangfu. Do you think it has anything to do with it?"

"Uh……"

Li Lie was dumbfounded.

"I guess Qi Jingyuan doesn't know that Xiao Ling is the missing son." Du Chunsheng's expression gradually became serious, "Otherwise, why would I just give you some money to 'greeting' Xiao Ling instead of taking the opportunity Drive Xiao Ling to death?"
