Zuo Xiangfu.
In the study room, the young master of the Lin family was like a frightened quail, frightened in front of Lin Qiushi, bowing his head and saying nothing.
"idiot!"
"Are you so brave that you dare to plot against the second prince?"
"You are trying to kill my Lin family!"
Lin Qiushi looked at his stupid son, trembling with anger, pointing at his nose and yelling curses.
"Father, isn't he just a good-for-nothing prince who doesn't deserve divine favor?"
"presumptuous!"
Listening to Lin Qiushi's scolding, Lin Chong was a little disapproving, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He was not causing trouble for no reason this time, but was considering it from the standpoint of His Highness Prince Sheng!
"You think you are so smart that you think everyone else is a fool?"
"Isn't he just a fool?" Lin Chong muttered: "I just said a few words, and that loser went and drugged others, and in the end, they found out..."
"It's so stupid!"
Lin Qiushi's face was full of disappointment: "You regard His Royal Highness King Xuanyong as a fool, but is His Majesty also a fool?"
"Do you think the Duke of Jingguo's Palace would have married Cheng'an Bo Palace without your intervention?"
"What kind of existence is Duke Jingguo?"
"That is the God of War of our Kingdom of Dayu, the minister of Conglong who once supported His Majesty to the throne!"
"How could he let his daughter marry the son of a little earl?"
Lin Qiushi had a look of disappointment on his face. After the anger in his heart was vented, his face gradually returned to calm, and he sighed sadly: "As the prime minister of the dynasty, my every move is watched by countless eyes at all times."
"Now just because of your self-righteousness, my prime minister's office is in catastrophe!"
"Father...Father, it's so serious..."
Lin Chong seemed to be frightened, his face turned pale, and there was a look of panic on his face.
Didn't he just plot against a useless prince?
Moreover, the matter was not done, but looking at my father's posture, it seemed as if the sky was about to fall.
"Hmph, if I make His Majesty jealous and mistakenly believe that my prime minister has participated in the seizure of the legitimate son, my entire Lin family will be in catastrophe!"
Lin Qiushi sighed with regret and said, "I work very hard on weekdays, walking on thin ice, for fear of arousing His Majesty's suspicion!"
"It's good for you. I have offended both Prince Xuanyong's Palace and Duke Jingguo's Palace in one fell swoop!"
Lin Qiushi looked at the traitor in front of him and wished he could slap him back into his mother's belly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Master, someone is coming to the palace. His Majesty wants you to enter the palace..."
…
The Duke of Jingguo.
Li Xiuning heard the news of Ning Fan's visit and came out to greet him personally. Li Yan looked at Dian Wei with a hostile face, snorted and turned his head away.
"Princess, please don't blame me for causing trouble!"
"What are you talking about? It would be great for our Duke Jingguo to receive a visit from His Highness!"
After some pleasantries, they walked towards the palace. They heard shouts of killing in the distance. Before Ning Fan had time to ask questions, he heard Li Xiuning explain: "There is a martial arts training ground in the Duke of Jingguo's palace. Now there are people who follow me." The soldiers returning to Beijing are training!"
"oh?"
Ning Fan had a look of surprise on his face and said with a smile, "Can I go and have a look?"
"Your Highness is also interested in martial arts skills?"
"Hahaha, I am not only interested, but I also hope that one day I will be able to kill enemies on the battlefield, carry a three-foot sword in my hand, perform immortal feats, and open up new territories for my Dayu!"
"This is how you show your true qualities as a man!"
Hearing Ning Fan's bold words, Li Xiuning's face showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that the most recognized dandy in the capital could say such a thing.
Li Yan sneered: "Your Highness is so tall that even a war horse can't sit still... and he still kills the enemy on the battlefield..."
"Yan'er, don't be rude!"
Li Xiuning quickly scolded Li Yan and turned to apologize to Ning Fan.
Dian Wei also looked at Li Yan silently and raised his fist with a warning look on his face. The latter shrank his head and looked at Dian Wei with fearful eyes.
"Haha, the young master is right. With my current weak body, I'm afraid I can't even lift a knife!"
"However, killing on the battlefield never relies on the bravery of an individual, but on strategizing, arranging troops, and taking into account the overall situation!"
"Oh?" A trace of ridicule appeared on Li Yan's face: "His Highness, it seems that he also has some insights into the command of troops?"
"I just read a few books, it can't be called an insight."
"Appreciate further details!"
"Soldiers are deceitful. The way to use soldiers is to be ever-changing and unexpected. How can it be summed up in a few words?"
Ning Fan shook his head slightly, showing an enigmatic smile, and the group also arrived at the martial arts training ground of Duke Jingguo's mansion.
Hundreds of men in armor were seen practicing fighting skills. When they saw Li Xiuning's figure, two burly men strode forward and saluted.
"See General."
Li Xiuning nodded slightly, asked them to stand up, looked at Ning Fan aside, and said with a chuckle: "Your Highness, these men are the elite of the Changning Army under my command. These two are my generals, Qu Yang and Zhang Jun!"
"You two, come forward and pay homage to His Highness King Xuan Yong!"
"King Xuan Yong?"
Both of them looked startled, their eyes fell on Ning Fan, and they instantly showed a hint of anger: "General, is this boy the one you used those despicable methods?"
"presumptuous!"
When Dian Wei heard the rude words spoken by the two of them, he stepped out and glared angrily: "You guys, how dare you, my master, be rude!"
"Who are you?"
"Hmph, I am Dian Wei, your lord's bodyguard!"
"It turns out to be this dandy's lackey!"
Dian Wei's face instantly showed anger, and he rushed towards the two of them with his iron fist brandished. Qu Yang also showed no sign of weakness, and with one step, he punched out and rushed straight towards them!
There was a muffled sound, and a look of surprise appeared on Dian Wei's face. On the other hand, Qu Yang kept retreating, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. When Zhang Jun saw this, he also rushed forward to help.
The three of them were going back and forth, fighting each other with fists and palms. Li Xiuning and Ning Fan did not dissuade anyone. They stood quietly aside and watched with cold eyes.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid Dian Wei is going to suffer a lot. Qu Qi and Zhang Jun's skills are ranked among the best in our Zhenbei Army."
"In my opinion, Dian Wei can hardly survive under the hands of the two of them..."
Li Yan's face showed the pleasure of getting revenge. He accidentally caught a glimpse of his sister's cold gaze, and his smile froze in an instant. He stepped forward and lowered his head: "Sister..."
"What was your idea?"
"Sister, I...don't want them to vent their anger on your behalf!"
Li Xiuning stopped talking and looked at the battle circle. Dian Wei used his iron fists to suppress the two generals of the Northern Army. Qu Yang and his two men were already defeated.
"How can this be!"
Li Yan watched Qu Yang being punched by Dian Wei and stood up again, holding his chest. Zhang Jun also received a kick forcefully, his face turned pale, and he was about to take action again.
"enough!"
Li Xiuning's pretty face was as cold as ice. She shouted in a low voice and said in a deep voice: "Qu Yang, Zhang Jun, and Li Yan ignore military regulations. If the following offenses are committed, each will be given fifty hard blows and demoted three levels!"
