Han Du smiled... Dad is a traditional literati, so of course he would not have such thoughts. Han Du didn't even dare to mention these words in front of his father, so he could only say them in front of Zhu Biao.
Following Han Du's gag, Zhu Biao's mood suddenly improved a lot.
A sincere smile appeared on his face, and he sighed: "I know that my father did everything for his own good..."
Just know... Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao meaningfully, don't take Lao Zhu's kindness as solid food. Among Zhu Biao's younger brothers, no one knows how many people want this kindness day and night. , can’t get it yet.
Seeing that Zhu Biao was in a much better mood, Han Du asked the doubt that he had been holding back in his heart since just now, "Your Highness, why does the Emperor want His Highness to patrol this time?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a smile: "Gu really doesn't know. Gu and you just went to the father's place. How do you think Gu knew?"
Han Du nodded and asked, "What places will His Highness visit this time?"
"My father and I have told you that this time, my father mainly wants me to inspect the border, so I will inspect several chief secretaries at the border."
Is it mainly patrolling... Han Du nodded secretly. If it was a border patrol, that would make sense.
In recent years, Lao Zhu has been enfeoffing the kings to guard the borders, and on the other hand, he has sent large armies to continuously clean up and suppress the grasslands. The entire Ming Dynasty's border gates have rarely been harassed by the grasslands in recent years, and Lao Zhu has made great contributions.
However, the kings have been guarding the border for more than ten years, and Lao Zhu knows exactly how the grassland has changed since Lan Yu defeated the imperial court, but this does not mean that Zhu Biao also knows everything.
After all, Lao Zhu is getting older, and Han Du has also seen that he is somewhat unable to do what he wants in the past two years. I'm afraid he knows his physical condition better than anyone else. If he sends Zhu Biao to patrol the border at this time, he has no intention of paving the way for Zhu Biao.
But even if Han Du thought about it, he couldn't tell it. The emperor's health stakes were always extremely secretive, and if it was leaked, it would be easy for people to fall to the ground. And these are just Han Du's speculations, how can he put them into words?
Even Han Du's expression did not change at all.
"Your Highness...is leaving?" Han Jingyun didn't know what was going on yet, but listening to the conversation between the two, he felt something was wrong.
Zhu Biao turned around and smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell my concubine just now, yes, Gu Buri will patrol the border, and Han Du will also go with him. This is my father's will."
Hearing that it was his father's order, Han Jingyun didn't say much, but his expression was a little downcast. He lowered his head and said softly: "Then, your highness has a safe journey."
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Han Du.
Han Du naturally understood the girl's worries, nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Your Highness for you."
After comforting his sister, Han Du turned back to Zhu Biao and said, "Then, I will take my leave."
"Well, you should hurry up and get ready. Gu predicts that we may set off soon, leaving you not much time." Zhu Biao nodded and gave instructions.
Han Du nodded and stepped back.
Early the next morning, I hurried out and headed to the Shanziying camp.
Unlike the other five military camps stationed in the main campus, the Shanzi Battalion was still stationed near the banknote bureau, closely guarding the banknote bureau.
After all, guarding the banknote bureau is Shanziying's main responsibility on weekdays.
Although most of the Shanzi Battalion was lost on the grassland last time, they made great contributions because they almost wiped out the entire army of 50,000 cavalry. Therefore, not only was it not abolished, but it was rewarded and expanded from 8,000 to 15,000 people.
Han Du looked up at the brand new gate of Shanzi Camp, with a smile on his face and walked up.
"Who is here? You dare to break into Shanzi Camp!" The soldiers guarding the gate saw that Han Du was dressed in extraordinary clothes. He was obviously not an ordinary person. But this is an important military camp area, and no matter how extraordinary it is, it is not something you can break into.
Before Han Du could speak, the man was slapped on the back of the head by a veteran, causing him to stagger.
"You are so blind that you don't even recognize the commander!"
After scolding the soldier, the veteran nodded and bowed to Han Du with a flattering expression, "Forgive me, Mr. Hou, but this boy has just arrived here not long ago and has not seen the true face of Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou is a large number, so there is no need to be familiar with him. "
"Master Hou, please!"
Han Du glanced at the soldier, then looked away with a smile, and asked the veteran: "It seems that there are a lot of people in the camp."
"That's right, that's right. The Marquis also knows that we suffered too many casualties on the grassland last time, so the Fifth Army Commander's Office has given us a large number of additional troops." The veteran explained with a flattering smile, and then glanced at the soldiers. The tone changed: "But the Marquis also saw it. The people are correct, but they are new recruits who have never even seen blood."
The soldier's face turned red at what the veteran said, and he lowered his head in shame.
Han Du glanced at him and raised his voice: "It's no big deal if you haven't seen blood. If you haven't been on the battlefield and fought with the enemy with real swords and guns, who would really see blood? I, the Lord, have never seen blood." When I went to the battlefield, didn’t I never see blood?”
When the soldiers saw what Han Du said, the shame on their faces suddenly improved a lot.
When the veteran saw the Marquis speaking for the soldiers, he no longer belittled him blindly. He nodded repeatedly and said: "That's, that's..."
"Is Marquis Kuang Yi here?" Han Du asked directly.
The veteran nodded repeatedly and replied: "Yes, yes, Marquis Kuang Yi is in the camp now, why don't you lead the way for the Marquis?"
"No need." Han Du smiled and waved his hand, pointing at the soldier, "He can just take me there."
The soldier was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that the Marquis would ask him to lead the way.
The veteran was also surprised. After he came to his senses, he stepped forward and pushed the soldier and said, "It is your blessing to lead the way for the Marquis. Go quickly."
"Oh...Okay, Lord Marquis, please come here." The soldier suddenly came back to his senses.
Han Du nodded and followed the soldiers into the Shanzi Camp.
Shanzi Camp has changed a lot. Han Du hasn't been here for so long. If it weren't for the soldier in front of him to lead the way, it would be really difficult to find the camp.
After following the soldier for a while, the soldier gradually slowed down, turned around and bowed his head to Han Du, "Thank you, Mr. Marquis."
"Thank you for what?" Han Du looked at him with interest.
The soldier lowered his head and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Marquis, for speaking for me just now."
"It's a small matter, let's continue leading you." Han Du waved his hand with a calm look on his face.
The soldier was stupid and didn't know what to say. He nodded and walked ahead without saying a word to lead the way.
Han Du stepped into the tent and saw Xu Chengfei sitting behind the desk, lowering his head and frowning without saying a word.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Han Du walking in. Xu Chengfei didn't have any good feelings towards Han Du, and said angrily: "You still know how to come to Shanzi Camp? I thought you didn't know that you are still the commander of Shanzi Camp."
Han Du knew that he was in the wrong. After all, he was very embarrassed to leave all the affairs of Shanziying to Xu Chengfei.
He smiled and said: "Isn't it because I'm busy... Besides, with a marquis like you guarding me, I feel like I have nothing to do. Otherwise, I'll ask the emperor for help later. Is there a decree for you to be the commander of this mountain camp?"
Xu Chengfei rolled his eyes at Han Du and said, "Don't come here! If I wanted to lead a battalion by myself, I would have gone a long time ago. The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army has come to see me more than once and twice. Even if I wanted to lead a battalion by myself, I would give it up." Rejected."
"Oh? Why is this?" Han Du was very puzzled.
Xu Chengfei is also a marquis and has long been qualified to lead an army alone. However, he did not leave Shanzi Camp, but was willing to stay here as Han Du's deputy.
Han Du was a little moved by Xu Chengfei's friendship and sighed: "Actually, you should have led an army by yourself a long time ago. There is no need to be a lieutenant here and wrong you."
"Aggrieved?" Xu Chengfei snorted.
He looked up at Han Du and sneered: "Who can make me feel wronged, you?"
Han Du smiled awkwardly, coughed and said, "I know that the feeling of being someone's second-in-command can never be compared to having one-third of an acre of land where you can make the final decision."
"Haha..." Xu Chengfei sneered.
Crossing his hands, the old god leaned back and put his entire body weight on the back of the chair. "You have the nerve to say that you are the commander of Shanzi Camp. Let me ask you, have you been here for a day since you came back from the grassland? If you want me to be angry with you as the commander, then you have to come to Shanzi Camp? "
"Go out and try to see if the soldiers in Shanzi Camp know you more or me more? What is the difference between me, the deputy general, and the chief general?"
Han Du looked even more embarrassed. Indeed, didn't the soldiers guarding the gate just now not recognize him?
Xu Chengfei didn't care so much about Han Du and asked casually: "Tell me, you never think of Shanziying when you have nothing to do. What happened to you this time?"
Han Du felt embarrassed that Xu Chengfei had taken the opportunity to ridicule him, but he had no way to refute him. He had indeed gone too far.
Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, there are too many lice and it doesn’t itch. Han Du changed the subject, nodded and said: "The emperor wants to go out to Shanzi Camp. You should prepare."
"Where to go?" Xu Chengfei sat up straight and got closer to Han Du in confusion.
Since the Shanzi Camp is going to be used, it must be a war. But recently, Xu Chengfei had not heard that the imperial court wanted to prepare for a conquest of the grassland, so he felt strange.
Han Du took one look at Xu Chengfei's solemn expression and knew that he must have gone astray. "It's not what you think. This time, Shanzi Camp is just walking around the territory of Ming Dynasty. As for where to go, to be honest, I don't know until now. So, don't ask me."
Xu Chengfei nodded to express his understanding. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Sometimes, military orders are received in the middle of the night, and even if the destination is not stated, people can only follow the orders and leave.
