"Extremely stupid."
The eldest prince was imprisoned in Tiewang Mountain, and Emperor Xiande was no longer in the mood to fight a siege. More importantly, the Yan royal family was embarrassed in front of the Mongolian ministries.
Of the only two adult princes, one assassinated the prince and the other was wounded.
The siege that showed off one's power became a joke, a joke to the royal family and a joke to Dayan.
How to deal with the eldest prince has become the emperor's biggest headache.
and……
Xian De stared at the eldest prince angrily. He had been staring at him all night. After arriving at the camp from Tienwang Mountain, Emperor Xiande kept staring at him.
If being laughed at by various Mongolian ministries is a diplomatic failure, then Jia Rong's ambush is an act of chaos.
"Heroes shouldn't bleed and shed tears." Xian De said angrily: "Everyone understands the truth, why don't you understand it? Think about what Jia Rong has done over the years, is he someone you can touch? Can the royal family touch him without reason? ? You know how many people’s hearts this move will chill.”
"Father..." The eldest prince opened his mouth, trying to say something but couldn't. Kneeling on the ground, my legs were numb, and my stomach was still screaming with hunger.
"Controlling water in the south of the Yangtze River, digging canals to enclose lakes, diverting the Huaihe River into the river. Camping fields in the capital, building embankments and dams, turning drought into water, and building new agricultural works. For these items alone, the royal family should give him glory, wealth, and promotion. Lord."
Emperor Xiande thought about the consequences of this incident. Now the official documents and memorials from Shenjing City have not arrived.
He is waiting.
When several yamen in Shenjing City officially report the attack on Jia Rong, they must calculate the response before that, how to avoid chilling the officials who are close to the Jia family, and how to protect the eldest prince.
Likewise, he was also waiting for an urgent letter from Thirteen.
Unfortunately, one day has passed since Jia Rong was attacked, and the letter from King Zhongshun has not yet arrived.
Probably won't come.
He's a good brother, I'm not trying to harm him for my brother's sake, really.
Emperor Xiande felt a little sad, a little desolate and depressed, feeling depressed about being misunderstood by his closest brother.
"Long live."
Commander Jinyi suddenly came in and handed over a letter. But it didn't come from Shenjing, but a secret letter from the Jinyi Division. The eunuch beside him carefully took it to the emperor and unfolded it gently. There was only a line of small words written on it.
Just after taking a look, the emperor smiled angrily and kicked the eldest prince on the shoulder.
The eldest prince crossed his shoulders in surprise and looked at the small piece of paper thrown by the emperor on him.
"Nie Zhan, take a closer look, you ruined all the calculations between me and Thirteen."
The eldest prince unfolded the puzzle and read in a low voice: "It has been found out that Prince Zhongshun's method of treating acne came from Jia...Jia Rong?"
Bewildered for a while. He yelled and crawled over on his knees, hugging his father's legs. He shouted excitedly: "Father, I did nothing wrong. Jia Rong is truly a heavenly being. Otherwise there would be no way to save the world. He deserves to die. I did nothing wrong."
"I didn't know he was a heavenly being? How could I not know that?"
The emperor looked at the eldest prince in disappointment and let out a long breath. No wonder Shisan didn’t want to write to me. I had expected that Shisan wanted to protect him. I had already expected that Shisan wanted to borrow Jia Rong’s talents to build our country. Shisan didn’t let Jia Rong get this limelight because he wanted him to go back to the future. Damn it, royal.
Now everything is ruined by this evil thing.
Xian De has always been a person with ideals. He wants to build an extremely powerful and wealthy Dayan.
The former emperors were afraid of it and did not dare to use it.
he……
Show virtue...
If you dare to use it, you must use it.
Facts have proved that Xian De's choice was right. Whether it was Jiangnan flood control, Huai'an salt class, or even field camp, Jia Rong did a good job. As long as Jia Rong Ansheng guards the Ningguo Mansion, doesn't have any wrong ideas, and honestly dedicates her life to Dayan.
Xian De is confident that Dayan will achieve unprecedented wealth in his own hands, and even build a holy world without cold or hungry people.
The holy name that manifests virtue will be remembered forever.
"You should reflect on it." A cold voice came into the ears of the eldest prince, and the majestic figure led the eunuchs and emissaries away. The camp where the eldest prince was suddenly turned into a tightly guarded prison.
Xiaoqingliang Mountain.
Brother Rong curled up uncomfortably. Feeling the movement of Aunt Xue, I thought she had been bitten by an insect or caught a cold, so I had to hold her tattered coat with one hand and hug her.
"Where are the bugs? Madam, don't move, I'll get them for you." Brother Rong didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only speak softly into Aunt Xue's ear.
Warm breath came out of his mouth and reached Aunt Xue's ears. There is still a slight feeling of being crawled by insects, and I twitch suddenly, causing the fallen leaves on my body to make a rustling sound.
Two more branches were shaken, one was a small branch in the grass, causing the branches and leaves to tremble.
The other root was unknown, and only the two of them could feel the slight movement.
Brother Rong was startled by these two movements and broke into a cold sweat. He secretly pressed down Aunt Xue with his hands and feet to stop the movement in the grass. He raised his head and looked towards the shed through the gap in the haystack. Fortunately, there was no one around, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, madam?"
"No..." Aunt Xue replied shyly, paused, and then said: "Rong'er, take the leaves on my neck."
His hands were moving quietly, for fear of making any noise. In the darkness, I found the back of Aunt Xue's neck and followed the delicate skin, which was as smooth as silk.
Finally I touched the annoying leaf and took it away carefully.
It occurred to me that I had not thought about it too much. It was good to hide in the grass, but it was uncomfortable to be surrounded by fallen leaves and insects.
On the contrary, it is easy to cause trouble.
Gently blow on the back of Aunt Xue's neck, the back of her head, and the side of her face. It seems to be blowing away all the dirty things that come in.
Forehead……
"I just didn't pay attention. My wife just lowered her head." Brother Rong said sarcastically, gently scraping his lips with his fingers.
Aunt Xue's face felt hot and she felt even more uncomfortable. He just lowered his head and quietly took out a hand to touch the cheek that had just been touched by warmth. The unspeakable feeling made her body heat rise again.
In her ears, she could only hear Brother Rong's cautious airway, "Madam, please bear with me for now. If you really can't bear it, it's okay. I've already seen the way. If I run out, they may not be able to catch up with me."
Rong'er is serious and very thoughtful in handling things.
Aunt Xue stopped talking and let Brother Rong hug her and lay on the ground. She propped her chin on her arm and looked at the face that could not be seen so close in the darkness.
Very reassuring.
Nothing to worry about.
In fact, she had already thought about it if the thieves really came here. He must hold them back to prevent Ronger from having an accident. The Jia family needs him, Bao Yatou also needs him, and there are many people who need him.
Make up your mind, a very firm decision.
At this moment, I was relieved about everything else, not to mention those empty rules.
Lying on the cold ground, hiding in the cold grass, I also feel warm.
"Someone is coming."
Brother Rong forced a breath out of his mouth. One hand was holding Aunt Xue's waist, which was not slender, and one foot was placed behind Aunt Xue's leg, nervously watching the movement in the shed.
As long as someone is looking for him, he will immediately get out to attract firepower.
That's what he thought.
No matter how afraid of death, people will make special choices at certain times.
Time passed by bit by bit, and I just saw a figure from the other side of the shed sneaking into the shed. In the forest at night, birds were flying across the sky, and the chirping insects seemed to have stopped for a while.
There was more than one of them.
A person does not have this kind of battle. No matter how careful he is, no one can avoid the detection of birds and insects in the grass.
After waiting for a long time, Brother Rong opened his eyes so hard that they were sore.
Only then did he see a small black figure coming out of the shed, holding in his hand rags abandoned in the shed and a few broken bowls burned with mud. A special sound came from the black figure, like the cry of some kind of bird.
The voice was obviously not loud, but Brother Rong could hear it clearly.
This is reporting.
The guy was reporting to their buddies.
Jia Rong became nervous. He could predict that it wouldn't take long before many people would appear from everywhere.
The wind is howling and the moon is cold.
The birds are in chaos and the chirping insects are frightened.
really.
Black shadows emerged from a few hundred steps away, and after a while, the valley became bright.
Torches were lit in the night.
Life or death is at this moment.
He gritted his teeth and prepared for the worst.
Little did he know that Aunt Xue, who was hiding under him, was staring at the dark figure with an extraordinarily gentle look, as if she was saying her final farewell.
"Brother Rong..."
"Sir Rong..."
"Lv Zetang, the second-class bodyguard of the loyal and obedient palace, is here to serve on the orders of the Thirteenth Master."
The sound of shouting is endless.
Brother Rong lay in the grass and was stunned for a while, but he didn't react. Is he a member of Prince Zhongshun's palace? Brother Rong has an impression of Lu Zetang, and he can be regarded as an old acquaintance.
What happened in Qingxu Temple back then was the help of Lu Zetang, Duan Yu and others.
However, although he was relieved and very happy, he decided to hide for a while longer. Being ambushed yesterday was not something ordinary people would dare to do.
Who knows if this Lu Zetang has been bribed by someone, so be careful and sail the boat for thousands of years.
Uncle Rong was overly cautious this time.
I heard people holding torches and shouting for a while, and Lu Zetang shouted again: "General Yu is on his way over. Brother Rong, please don't worry, we are not pretending to be thieves."
Duan Yu is here too?
"Madam, please bear with me a little longer. Let's wait until our old acquaintances get here before we go out. I can't trust other people."
Aunt Xue's expression was complicated, but she definitely applauded with both hands to continue lying down for a while. He even shrank and nuzzled into Brother Rong's arms.
"There's movement over there."
Someone held a torch and pointed in the direction of Uncle Rong and said to Lu Zetang.
"Wait, don't go there. When General Yu comes, no one should act rashly." Lu Zetang glanced at everyone present and counted them one by one. Except for the two who went back to report to Duan Yu, the remaining twenty people arrived.
He said: "Set up a bonfire here, everyone will warm themselves by the fire, and wait for orders."
Lu Zetang is not afraid of someone playing tricks. If Jia Rong is stabbed secretly at this time, then he will really fuck the ghost in the mountain.
Not only did he lose his credit, he also had to bear a big blame.
What you are most afraid of when doing things is being overly excited and greedy for success.
"Rong'er, I'm a little cold."
cold?
Brother Rong frowned slightly, and after hearing Aunt Xue's words, he wanted to rush out immediately to find Lu Zetang to get the medicine. Aunt Xue's injury cannot be delayed, and Aunt Xue's illness cannot be delayed.
He was about to get up.
But Aunt Xue pulled him and said, "Don't go out yet, just hold him tight."
Ragged coats were draped over the two of them, and the two figures were already nestled together in the darkness.
"Hold tighter."
"Um?"
In the dark grass, the two of them were leaning sideways. Aunt Xue leaned her face against Brother Rong's neck, smelling the scent of Brother Rong's body silently and greedily.
There was an unpleasant smell of sweat and an indescribable smell of rot in the grass.
But this made Mrs. Xue, who had never been slovenly since she was a child, a little addicted and reluctant to give up.
Quiet, very tacit quiet.
No one spoke anymore, neither in the grass nor around the campfire.
Time passed slowly, I don’t know how long. Aunt Xue fell asleep peacefully in his arms. When a team of people came to the campfire, Duan Yu slowly walked towards the grass with a torch.
Only then did Brother Rong realize that the person in his arms was sleeping with a smile on his lips.
"Let them all avoid it."
Jia Rong saw Duan Yu's face clearly. Duan Yu was seen waving over there, and everyone stepped back in unison.
He just picked up the slightly bulky Aunt Xue and came out of the grass. He said thank you to Duan Yu with a cold face and said nothing else. He slowly carried Aunt Xue back to the shed, put her down gently, and watched the embarrassed beauty's eyelids move.
Brother Rong said in a low voice: "I'm going to say a few words, thank them, and ask them to open a road early tomorrow morning and carry the sedan to pick us up."
Aunt Xue didn't reply.
But Uncle Rong had already covered her with a tattered coat, pulled up the fence, and left the shed.
"Brother Yu, you've worked hard these past two days." Brother Rong gently cupped his hand.
"I've made you suffer." Duan Yu looked at him and took off his big coat. "Put it on. Are you not injured?"
"I didn't, but the people inside were wounded by muskets." Brother Rong replied with a dark face, "Do those who ambushed me have any clues?"
Duan Yu didn't dare to look into Brother Rong's eyes and said sarcastically: "You have to give brother some time. People from the Jiumen patrol camp and the county government are looking for traces of thieves in the mountains. Our royal family and you, the Jia family and the Wang family They’re all looking for you.”
"No news at all?"
"No way. All the adults in the city have gone to Tienwang Mountain, and the only one left in the city is the Thirteenth Master. Brother Rong can't doubt that it's the Thirteenth Master."
Brother Rong politely took the big coat and put it on him. "Okay, you are tired after two nights. Find someone to send a message to the Wang family and Jia family. Then go and have a rest. We will go out again tomorrow morning."
"The Thirteenth Master and your concubine are still waiting to see you."
"There are still injured people inside. We'll talk about everything tomorrow." Brother Rong said angrily.
Duan Yu couldn't do anything, so he only left a dozen people standing guard nearby, and asked a group of guards to take out the various medicines he carried. He led a group of palace guards and servants out of the mountain to prepare things to keep Brother Rong and the guards staying in the mountain warm and full.
At the same time, as the head of the palace guards, he had to report back to the palace immediately at this time.
Brother Rong smiled and thanked the other guards, and also said a lot of kind words. There is no need to pretend in front of Duan Yu, but it is still necessary to pretend in front of others.
He gathered all kinds of food and went into the shed. He went to the stream and took a good bath, which froze his whole brain and made him think clearly.
"Wake up, madam. Let's eat something and take some medicine. Today is the last night in the mountains. We can go home early tomorrow morning when the sun rises."
Aunt Xue felt uncomfortable looking at Brother Rong's smiling face.
Momo took the water Brother Rong gave him and took the pills. Then he put on the new coat and felt tent handed over by Brother Rong.
"Let's take a rest and don't worry about the people outside." Brother Rong tightened his new coat and lay down against Aunt Xue.
Some people had a faint smile on their lips...
