Raise an emperor as a villain

When they entered the city, they saw the long-lost General Zhan Taihong. Zhan Taihong was full of beards, which he hadn't taken care of for a long time. He laughed and came out to greet them.

"My lord came just in time, otherwise my brothers and I would have died here." Zhan Taihong said this with sincerity from the bottom of his heart. In the past, he fought against Ming Jue because Ming Jue violated him. He is a warrior, and he does not have the same loyalty and patriotism as those civil servants, so Emperor Mingrui's usurpation of the throne did not affect him at all. For fighting, who is it not to sell?Because of this, he didn't care about Ming Jue's identity as the eldest son of the first emperor.

It turned out that he thought that Mingjue was just a scheming villain, hanging out with those sloppy literati all day long, but now Mingjue's actions made him admire.Mingjue relieved him, and he regarded Mingjue as one of his own.

"General Zhan Taihong is polite. Yancheng and Qizhou City rely on each other. If the general is at fault, this king will not be spared." Ming Jue did not regard himself as Zhan Taihong's savior, but made it clear that the two of them are actually in fact now. The truth in a boat.

"Oh, let's not talk about it, the lord has worked hard. Tonight I will hold a banquet to celebrate the achievements and clean up the dust for the lord. Now please don't be disgusted with the lord, just rest in our mansion first!" The mansion that Zhan Taihong said was the original Yancheng city guard At that time, the Mongolian army was so powerful that they broke through the city in less than two days.The generals defending the city died in the scuffle, and most of the soldiers fled for their lives.This city guard is a scholar with integrity, although he does not have the ability to mount a horse to kill the enemy, but he refuses to lose in integrity, and jumped from the tower in front of everyone when the city was broken.Presumably he never imagined that his elegant courtyard would end up being ruined by a warrior!

"What do you want from the general, I can't wait to ask for it." Ming Jue was very modest, and didn't ask about the deployment of the defenders in the city, the number of casualties on the battlefield, etc., which would touch Zhan Taihong's power.This made Zhan Taihong very happy, he didn't want to let a person climb on his head to point fingers.

"In that case, Polu, go and take the prince and several adults to find a place to live." Zhan Taihong ordered the young man who followed behind him.

"Yes, my lord." Polu cupped his fists to accept the order, turned around and made a "please" gesture and said to Mingjue, "My lord, please follow the future."

Ming Jue and Lu Hengxiu exchanged glances and followed.Lu Hengxiu looked at Polu secretly, and found that the young man in front of him was very young, probably about the same age as Tianshu, but he looked like a typical general in the army, presumably he was a trusted confidant of Zhan Taihong.

Polu led them around and finally arrived at the place. "My lord, please forgive me. My general also complained. Although the literati's house is big, it has too many twists and turns."

"It doesn't matter." Ming Jue opened his mouth to signal that he didn't care, and the Polu bowed and retreated.

Zhan Taihong was a warrior, and he was not very considerate. Although he thought that Ming Jue should rest after fighting for a night, he didn't want Ming Jue to be a king and grandson, so he should send someone to serve him.But Ming Jue would not care about such trivial matters. If Zhan Taihong not only kept them here but also sent someone to wait on them, it would be difficult for people to feel at ease and not to suspect his intentions.

"In short, what do you think of our current situation?" Ming Jue entered the room and found that the room was quite big, and it looked like a main room.

"Your Highness, don't think about it so much. You should go to sleep first, and it won't be too late to worry about anything after you wake up." Lu Hengxiu looked at Ming Jue's eyes full of red blood that represented fatigue and lack of sleep, and secretly felt distressed. So he urged Ming Jue to rest.While speaking, he took off Mingjue's battle robe, and then reached out to untie Mingjue's armor, but Mingjue covered his hand unexpectedly.

"Your Highness, don't make trouble." Lu Hengxiu smiled helplessly.

"Jane, are you afraid? Are you afraid of seeing so many dead people?" Ming Jue asked repeatedly.

Lu Hengxiu didn't answer, he was afraid, how could he not be afraid when he saw so many corpses for the first time.But no matter how afraid he is, he has to go on. He knows that there will be a more difficult road to go in the future, and he can't show weakness first.

Lu Hengxiu took off Ming Jue's silver armor, pushed him onto the bed, and covered Ming Jue with a quilt.Just as he was about to leave, Ming Jue suddenly grabbed his hand. Ming Jue has practiced martial arts all year round, so his strength is naturally not comparable to that of Lu Hengxiu.With a strong pull, Lu Hengxiu fell on Ming Jue's body.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Even though Lu Hengxiu had a good temper, he couldn't help Ming Jue tossing and tossing, now Lu Hengxiu was very angry.

Unexpectedly, Mingjue lifted the quilt that Lu Hengxiu had just covered himself, stared straight at Lu Hengxiu and said, "Jianzhi, come up and sleep for a while! You must have been up all night last night, don't hold on, Come, come up and rest with me for a while."

Hearing the words, Lu Hengxiu stopped struggling and climbed up to lie down beside Ming Jue.In the past, Mingjue and Mingjue were in the East Palace because it was too cold in winter, and the two of them just hugged each other and slept like this.Later, Ming Jue developed a habit of hugging him to sleep every night.But since he came to Qizhou, Lu Hengxiu started to take charge of the affairs of the palace, so he went to live alone.Lu Hengxiu felt a little uncomfortable sleeping together again after several years, after all, he was no longer the boy he was back then, and it was no longer the timid child in his arms.

Ming Jue was really tired, and fell asleep as soon as he wrapped Lu Hengxiu in his arms.Lu Hengxiu was restless all night, and even after relaxing now, he felt very tired. Although the tip of his nose was still lingering with a faint smell of blood, Lu Hengxiu still couldn't resist the drowsiness that hit him like a tide, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already sunset time, Lu Hengxiu wanted to get out of bed quietly, but Ming Jue was disturbed.

"Jane, you're awake!" Ming Jue raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, a little confused just waking up.

"Your Highness is making noise?" Lu Hengxiu said shyly.

Mingjue sat up and looked at the sky and said: "It's not too early, isn't General Zhantai going to hold a celebration banquet? I should get up and get ready too." It was only when I was full of energy that I realized that I was really dirty, with blood stains mixed with dust all over my body.

Lu Hengxiu also noticed this problem, so he hurried out to find someone to let Ming Jue take a bath.In fact, he hasn't done serving people for a long time, and now he is not very proficient in doing it suddenly.

The location of the celebration banquet was set in the big camp in the west of the city, and all generals, regardless of their status, participated.The grandeur of the scene to some extent determines that the style of this celebration banquet is destined to be bold and unrestrained, not to mention that the participants are all generals who fought on the battlefield.

Ming Jue and Lu Hengxiu took a bath first, then changed their clothes, and then got into the vehicle prepared by Zhan Taihong for them to go to the banquet, and Zhan Taihong arrived ahead of time as the host.

On the other hand, Li Yimo didn't dare to slack off, he was responsible for Mingjue's safety.There was no guarantee that there would be no accidents at the banquet, so he didn't care about rest, and took his brothers who had followed him the night before to the West Camp to familiarize themselves with the situation ahead of time.

The dark night shrouded the direction of Zhongxiying, but the sky was full of flames. This was not a fire, but the flames from the bonfire and the barbecue grill.These men who had just escaped from the battlefield were eating meat and drinking heavily. The scene was a mess. Zhan Taihong has always been informal, so no one of his subordinates was restrained. Some even enforced the drinking order. It is far from the Peony Flower Banquet held by Chen Ding back then.

The person in charge of escorting Mingjue was Polu who led them to find a room that day. When the chariot arrived at Xiying, Polu who was riding a horse in front shouted: "Your Majesty is here."

However, although his voice was not low, he was still submerged in the hustle and bustle, which made him a little embarrassed. He turned to Mingjue's carriage and said, "My lord, my general is bold and unrestrained. If the etiquette in the army is not good, please forgive me." Forgive me, my lord."

Ming Jue couldn't say anything when he heard the words. Over the years, he had participated in a lot of various banquets, but they were all small elegant gatherings held by literati students. It was indeed a little uncomfortable for today's one.But now he is away from home, and this is the territory controlled by Zhan Taihong, so can he care about anything?

Lu Hengxiu saw Mingjue's repressed anger, and knew in his heart that Mingjue hated being despised the most.He had no choice but to pat Ming Jue's hand to comfort him, then lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.

"General Polu, my Highness said it's all right, now that we have arrived at the West Camp, I would like to ask the general to inform General Zhantai." Lu Hengxiu's words were well-founded. Polu is a simple warrior, so he heard the words and thought it made sense, so he went forward. I went to report.

Li Yimo saw Lu Hengxiu getting out of the car from a distance, and knew that Ming Jue had arrived, so he quickly brought the hidden guards behind him to pay his respects.

"My lord is well, my subordinates have figured out the situation here, and they will definitely be able to guarantee His Highness's safety." Li Yimo was able to handle affairs efficiently and courteously, which made Ming Jue feel a little better.

In fact, when Li Yimo was designed by Lu Hengxiu to join Ming Jue, he felt very unwilling.Later, following Tianshu, he became more and more restrained, and it was difficult to see the reckless aura of the rivers and lakes in his body at a glance.
