Yang Rong nodded with lingering fear and said,
"yes...."
Yang Shiqi was obviously nervous and asked quickly,
"How's it going? Didn't you offend that Highness?"
"No."
Yang Rong saw Brother Yang looking so panicked, and when he thought about what he had just done to open the door to His Highness's room, he felt frightened.
"That's fine."
Yang Shiqi breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this and relaxed visibly. Yang Rong was puzzled. He just vaguely felt that His Highness was a little scary.
Since entering the capital, Yang Rong has made some insinuations about His Highness, but everyone has basically kept silent about it, so Yang Rong really doesn't know what is so scary about His Highness.
"Brother Yang, why are you so afraid of His Highness?"
Yang Shiqi's breath stagnated, and he remembered in his mind that Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were trying to coerce Zhu Yunxi into overthrowing His Highness Shengsun.
I was still anxious all day long, thinking about reporting it to His Highness Shengsun, hoping to make early preparations.
But later I learned that all this was the fault of the young highness. Even Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng disappeared out of thin air and never appeared in the court again. No one knew where they went.
There is no doubt that all this has something to do with that little highness,
Then there is what Yang Shiqi heard a long time ago.
I heard that five years ago, there were not only two His Royal Highnesses, but also His Highness Zhu Yunzhen, but they were also dissolved in water.
Yang Shiqi shook his head and said in a heavy tone,
"It's best not to pry into these matters, and just stay away from that young highness. Do you understand?"
Yang Rong had never seen Brother Yang with such a serious look on his face. He couldn't help but feel anxious and nodded.
"Hey! Don't think about this! Everything will be fine when His Highness Shengsun comes back! It's just cold in the capital without His Highness Shengsun..."
Yang Shiqi sighed with emotion. He was deeply touched. Without Zhu Xiongying’s bright appearance,
Everyone in this royal family, including His Majesty, including Zhu Yunxi, etc., are all ruthless and cold-blooded Tianjia.

Northern Territory Unknown Place
The sky and the earth are covered in white, the wind is howling, and a long black line spreading vertically is slowly moving between the white sky and the earth. This is the army of the Ming Dynasty.
Every soldier tried to cover every part of his body so as not to be exposed to low temperatures.
The further north you go, the colder it gets.
As for the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty, their marching speed can be called a turtle speed.
He lined up in a column, regularly changing the group of soldiers and horses facing the wind, and the rest of the soldiers following behind marched with their heads lowered.
Zhu Xiongying has been at the front of the column, and the soldiers behind him are constantly changing one after another, but he is the only one who has not changed.
Zhu Xiongying's whole body was wrapped in a large felt, with only one pair of eyes exposed, but the eyelashes had already been frozen.
Zhu Xiongying lowered his head and looked at the thermometer in his hand. It was minus thirty-three degrees. If the temperature reached this temperature during the day, it would plummet to fifty degrees at night.
"My eldest nephew, let's rest in the back row."
Zhu Xi pressed up against the strong wind and blocked his huge body in front of Zhu Xiongying.
As soon as the second uncle came over, Zhu Xiongying could clearly feel that the cold wind in front of him was blocked, and the oncoming low-pressure air flow was suddenly relaxed.
Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said,
"According to our current marching speed, we can reach the next outpost in about two hours. We must arrive before sunset."
Zhu Xi was a little surprised. He was originally going to report this matter to his eldest nephew.
The third child spent a long time in the rear army and finally judged the current location roughly. The time he gave was far less accurate than that given by his eldest nephew.
Now in this situation everything is a rough estimate.
The surrounding scenery is exactly the same, and it even gives people the illusion that they are still standing still after walking all day.
In this environment, people's sense of distance and time are distorted, and even these generals who have been fighting for a lifetime have difficulty judging.
But the eldest nephew seems to have been determining the position of the army. Not only that, the eldest nephew has never withdrawn from the front line.
"Ah, yes, I understand.
Well, eldest nephew, how are you so sure? "
Zhu Xiongying looked at his second uncle. Although talking in this state was a waste of energy, Zhu Xiongying himself was choked up enough, so he spoke,
"We have determined the distance between the two outposts. Since leaving the previous outpost, I have been calculating the marching distance every hour. Add it up, subtract it from the total distance, and then remove the current marching speed. ....”
The second eldest brother, Zhu Xiang, felt dizzy and quickly covered his head and said,
"Eldest nephew, please stop reading, my second uncle knows!"
Zhu Xiongying glanced at his second uncle helplessly, but Zhu Xiongying said it is simple, but if he wants to accurately calculate the marching distance without being interfered by external conditions,
Except for Zhu Xiongying, who has a brain comparable to a computer, most people really can't do it, just like reciting numbers silently, from one to one hundred, no one can make mistakes.
But from one to ten thousand, the error rate will increase exponentially, because the human brain is always disturbed by all kinds of information and cannot concentrate on one thing for a long time.
Not to mention someone like Zhu Xiongying, who has been calculating silently for who knows how long,
"However, Second Uncle, my algorithm is not accurate. I am calculating using the same marching speed. But from this point of view, the marching speed is constantly decreasing, so we have to increase the speed to let the soldiers work hard."
Zhu Xiongying sighed. The sentry towers were built at intervals of one day's marching speed.
This is to ensure that Zhu Xiongying's sergeants do not march in the cold night. Therefore, the third uncle's method of building a sentry tower is really amazing. It not only helps to connect the food and grass supply lines, but also is of great benefit to the march.
However, the soldiers who built the forts were also human beings. The closer the forts were to the border, the simpler they were.
Just like the last outpost that Zhu Xiongying and the others left, it cannot be compared with the first outpost that they just left Yandi.
Moreover, the further back you go, the greater the difference in distance between outposts. It is obvious that the Yandi engineering soldiers have miscalculated this intermittent distance. If they don't speed up their pace, they will definitely not be able to reach the next place before dark.
When Zhu Xi heard this, he smiled confidently.
"Eldest nephew, you don't have to worry about this anymore. The soldiers can still move, don't they just need to increase their speed? I'll just tell them to hurry up."
Zhu Xiongying frowned slightly. The physical strength of marching in the low temperature was exhausted very quickly.
Asking the soldiers to increase their marching speed was not as simple as what the second uncle said. Just as Zhu Xiongying was about to say something, Zhu Xi said,
“Eldest nephew, you still don’t believe it?
If you don’t believe it, look back! "
Zhu Xiongying turned around doubtfully,
The scene in front of him instantly caused an electric current to pass through his body.
