Han Lingfu hugged Bai Muxiao tightly, with tenderness and sweetness in her heart. Her heart, which had been empty these days, seemed to have found something again, and she felt relaxed.

"Your Highness," Bai Muxiao raised her head and looked at Han Lingfu. She bit her lower lip with her jade teeth, half lowered her eyes as she hesitated to speak, and said slowly, "Xiao'er just heard what Xiao Lizi said. His Highness has been in a bad mood recently... Is His Highness angry with Xiao'er?"

"How could it be?" Han Lingfu said hurriedly, "Xiao'er, how can I bear to blame you..."

"Your Highness..." Bai Muxiao smiled slightly, pretending to be touched, and sneered inwardly, "Your Highness, that day Xiao'er was also confused because she suddenly heard that the princess was pregnant. Fang Cun... Xiao'er thought that His Highness would not want Xiao'er and his mother since he had a legitimate son in the princess's womb..." She half-closed her eyes uneasily.

Han Lingfu hurriedly grabbed Bai Muxiao's hand and assured: "Xiao'er, believe me, I don't care about that child at all." It just represented his shame and helplessness.

"Xiao'er, only you and my child are the only heirs in my heart!" Han Lingfu said solemnly, wishing he could cut his heart open to let Bai Muxiao know his feelings.

Bai Muxiao's heart was still calm, and there was an ironic smile in her heart: the only heir, but not the only child! She and his standards are different after all!

"Your Highness, Xiao'er naturally trusts Your Highness." Bai Muxiao bit her lower lip, "It's just... because of Your Highness's love for Xiao'er, the princess has never liked Xiao'er..." She reluctantly He showed a somewhat pale smile and said, "Your Highness, the prince's concubine is your royal concubine after all. It's all Xiao'er's fault. Don't worry, your highness, Xiao'er will work hard to please the prince and concubine in the future..."

Seeing Bai Muxiao acting uneasy but pretending to be strong, Han Lingfu was heartbroken. He blamed himself for being too weak and relying on the power of the Cui family, so that the woman he loved had to bow down to Cui Yanyan. Yes, Cui Yanyan didn't like Xiao'er before and made things difficult for Xiao'er everywhere. Now that Cui Yanyan is pregnant, she thinks she has someone to rely on, so she may be even more confident!

Then Xiao'er and the child in Xiao'er's belly don't know how they will be ruined...

He couldn't help but feel agitated.

"It would be great if the princess could give birth to the eldest son for His Highness." Bai Muxiao's right hand caressed his abdomen and murmured, "The best thing for Xiao'er's belly is a daughter. This way If so, the princess will be able to accommodate our mother and daughter in the future..." As she spoke, there was a hint of sadness in her tone.

Han Lingfu was stunned and his eyes darkened.

Yes, he almost neglected it. What if Cui Yanyan gave birth to a boy.

Even if Xiaoer is pregnant with a son, the age gap between the legitimate son and the concubine is too small, which will be a big problem in the future. What's more, if Xiaoer gives birth to a daughter, Cui Yanyan will have her eldest son in her belly. In the future, even if he wants Xiaoer's child to inherit everything, it may not be that easy.

Furthermore, with Cui Yanyan’s temperament, once she is allowed to give birth to her eldest son, there’s no telling how arrogant she will be! Can she tolerate Xiaoer and Xiaoer's children in the future?

The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more solemn his face became, and his fists clenched involuntarily. Cui Yanyan's child came at the wrong time.

Bai Muxiao meekly leaned her head on Han Lingfu's chest and said nothing, but Han Lingfu's expression remained in the corner of her eyes. Han Lingfu seemed to have made a decision and said loudly: "Here comes someone!"

Xiao Lizi immediately walked in quickly, bowed and saluted: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Xiao Lizi, go and prepare some incense for me..."

When Xiao Lizi heard this, he was shocked. This hundred incense is the secret incense in the palace, and it can be called the king of incense. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "one inch of incense, one inch of gold". It's just that this hundred incense is precious, but there are two kinds of people who can't smell it. Firstly, it is difficult for women to get pregnant if they hear too much; secondly, it is easy for pregnant women to miscarry. Now the pregnant ones in the prince's palace are Concubine Bai and Princess Cui Yanyan, and Concubine Bai is here. Who do you want to use it on? This hundred incense sticks is self-evident.

Xiao Lizi did not dare to say anything, so he could only accept the order and retreat.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Bai Muxiao's mouth...

Xiao Lizi left in a hurry and returned in a hurry.

Of course there is no such thing in Bai Zhuoxiang Mansion. Xiao Lizi just told someone to take the token from the Third Prince's Mansion to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to report it, and a greeting card was handed over to the office, so Xiao Lizi hurried back to report it. , said: "Your Highness, this is a post from His Highness." Along with the post, there was a secret letter sealed with fire paint. The secret letter was personally delivered to him by the person who came here.

Han Lingfu quickly opened the letter and read it at a glance. His expression relaxed and he said with a smile: "Xiao'er, the eldest brother made an appointment with me to go to Taibai Tower. He said that the matter was settled... I'll just go there. Come back!"

"Then Xiao'er is waiting for His Highness in Xinghui Courtyard." Bai Muxiao nodded meekly, sent Han Lingfu out personally, and then returned to Xinghui Courtyard.

Han Lingfu didn't come back until midnight.

The next day, Lu Huaining, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who was ordered to investigate the assassination of the fifth prince, hurried into the palace to see the emperor after the morning court and stayed in the imperial study for a full hour before coming out.

Subsequently, a storm shook the entire royal capital!

Lu Huaining led the Jinyi Guards and others to surround Prince Ning's Mansion with lightning speed.

On that day, Prince Ning and his son were imprisoned, and the entire Prince Ning's mansion was sealed, preventing anyone from entering or exiting at will.

Immediately afterwards, boxes of letters and books were carried out from Prince Ning’s Mansion by Jin Yiwei...

The whole kingdom was in a state of violence, as if it was back a few years ago when King Yan and Marquis Yongding forced the palace to rebel. At that time, the emperor was furious and blood flowed everywhere. In addition to the two families of King Yan and Yongdinghou, many officials in the capital were also involved. No bones were left. The execution lasted for three full days. On that day, the smell of blood in the entire vegetable market has not dissipated for nearly a month.

And now... in the royal capital, some keen noble families seem to have smelled the atmosphere of the past again. More and more mansions have imitated Nangong Mansion and closed their doors to welcome guests, hoping to avoid this wave of turmoil.

Even the residences of several princes are no exception.

It seemed that even God felt the oppressive and tense atmosphere in the city. The originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy in the afternoon, and a thick layer of dark clouds shrouded the royal capital, so heavy that it was almost suffocating... …

Thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, it was still cloudy, and the scorching sun at noon was as hot as midsummer.

Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi hurriedly rode towards Yanding City.

At this moment, the joy on the faces of the two young people could not be concealed.

Since the task of picking up corpses around Yanding City was completed, Xiao Yi gave everyone a new task. Because of his poor performance before, Qiao Shenyu was sent to the Weng City to work as a coolie moving bricks. As for Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, they received Xiao Yi's approval and asked them to separate with several other teams to explore the terrain near Yanding City in order to draw a more complete map.

In the past, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi might have found exploring the terrain boring and boring, but since they picked up those rotten and smelly corpses with different forms of death, this new mission is simply too relaxing and enjoyable. !

This mission has been going on for several days. They leave the city at sunrise and return to the city at sunset every day. Their schedules are very regular, but today is different. The two of them made an unexpected discovery, so they immediately returned to the city and planned to report it to Xiao Yi.

Maybe that will be a great achievement! Their trip to Yanding City was not in vain!

Thinking about it, they both felt very excited.

Tap tap tap...

The tall city walls of Yanding City appeared in front of them. The two of them clamped the horse's belly between them, lowered themselves, and the horse galloped faster.

The two horses were getting closer and closer to the city wall. Yu Xiufan was about to reveal his identity and let the soldiers on the wall open the city gate, but saw the heavy city gate in front of him slowly opening with a creaking sound...

Yu Xiufan raised his head and looked intently at the city wall, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Brother, you came just in time! We just have something to report to you!" He waved to Xiao Yi on the city wall with all his strength and shouted at the top of his lungs. It's great now, you don't have to go to the garrison to find your big brother! It seems that he and Xiao Xizi are indeed lucky today!

On the city wall, in addition to Xiao Yi, who was wearing a purple brocade robe, there were also Li Shoubei and Mr. Jing Qian, who were accompanying Xiao Yi to inspect the city defense.

Xiao Yi looked down at the two people on horseback from the city wall, with a slight curl in the corner of his mouth.

In just a few days, these two once delicate young men have been tanned as if they were black coal, and have lost weight. They don't look haggard, but are full of energy.

As soon as the two entered the city, they immediately dismounted and quickly walked up the stone steps leading to the top of the city wall.

At the same time, several guards worked together to close the city gate below, and the heavy city gate made a creaking noise.

"Brother!" Yu Xiufan was so excited that his three steps turned into two, he came to Xiao Yi and clasped his fists, "Brother, Xiao Xizi and I have something important to report!"

Yu Xiufan said enthusiastically, but Chang Huaixi, who was two steps behind him, frowned. If Xiao Yi and Li Shoubei weren't here, he really wanted to shout, "Who is Xiao Xizi?" !

Yu Xiufan was unaware of this and looked at Xiao Yi expectantly.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, and everyone stepped back ten steps as ordered, and then heard Xiao Yi say: "Say it."

Yu Xiufan quickly said: "Brother, Xiao Xizi and I accidentally discovered a trail among the thorns in the northwest of the swamp today. We checked the map carefully and found that this road has indeed not been marked. We followed the trail to I walked a mile, but didn’t dare to go far. Depending on its direction, I might be able to bypass the swamp..."

The swamp Yu Xiufan mentioned is located to the southwest of Yanding City, about ten miles away. It is densely covered with miasma and no humans or animals are allowed to set foot in it. Otherwise, if they fall deep into it, they are likely to be overturned. Therefore, that area Few people go there.

Every team that goes out to explore has a map in their hands for better comparison and completion. At this location on the map, there is only a swamp clearly marked.

The swamp is surrounded by dense thorns, and the trail intersection they saw was submerged in thorns. If they didn't look carefully, they would never be able to find it.

A new road represents a new possibility. Maybe they can find a new marching route and take back Denli City by surprise.

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment, he slowly said: "Xiao Fanzi, Xiao Xizi, do you dare to go and find out?"

At this time, Chang Huaixi no longer cared about hating the name Xiao Xizi, and was even a little happy. As far as he knew, the prince would only use nicknames for people he knew well, just like the current people in the Divine Arm Camp. Lieutenant Fu!

Chang Huaixi suppressed his excitement, turned around and exchanged glances with Yu Xiufan beside him. They both saw each other's intentions. The two young men clasped their fists at Xiao Yi in unison and responded in unison. : "Your Majesty, I would like to give it a try!"

Every word is sonorous and powerful, and the tanned face is filled with a dazzling look!

Xiao Yi laughed loudly and said, "Go. Remember, although exploring the road is important, it is not more important than life. Your two lives come first. If there is danger, return immediately."

"Yes! Your Majesty."

Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi hurriedly got off the city wall, and then Li Shoubei and others stepped forward, clustering around Xiao Yi as before.

Xiao Yi looked down at the two men from the city wall as they rode out of the city gate, walking farther and farther, and then withdrew his gaze.

Just as he was about to continue talking to Li Shoubei, a sentry in armor trotted over from the direction of the sentry tower. As he walked, the armor plates collided with each other and made a thumping sound. It was obviously urgent.

"Your Majesty," the sentry came closer and solemnly reported with clasped fists, "There are seven or eight people riding horses two miles away. Judging from their clothes, they should be from Nanliang."

With these words, the city wall fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, with everyone's expressions solemn. Xiao Yi stretched out his right hand, and Zhuzi immediately handed him a clairvoyant skillfully.

Xiao Yi looked in the direction pointed by the sentry, adjusting the distance of the clairvoyant with one hand. Wherever the clairvoyant could see, he could see seven or eight men wearing Nanliang robes and Nanliang scimitars riding tall horses. Coming this way, where the horses' hooves flew, a cloud of dust was thrown up...

There were only seven or eight people who came, and it was clear sky and daylight now. It was obvious that they were not here for a sneak attack.

It’s not a sneak attack, that’s...

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered loudly: "Mr. Jing Qian, put the archers on standby!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mr. Jing Qian clasped his fists and accepted the order.

When the seven or eight Nanliang people approached the gate of Yanding City, they immediately found hundreds of gleaming arrows on the city wall pointed at them. They were dazzled by the scorching sun, but they didn't know it was the sun that was more dazzling. , or those cold and sharp arrows...

A few Nanliang people subconsciously slowed down their horses. When they were dozens of feet away, a young captain shouted in a loud voice: "Who is coming? Please identify yourself quickly!"

The leader from Nanliang is a dark-skinned, lean man with some stubble on his face. Being pointed at by these hundreds of feather arrows, he felt a little lacking in confidence, and quickly clasped his fists to reveal his identity: "I am Tu Wu Gu, an envoy under the command of Marshal Ikaro of Nanliang. I came here to ask for an audience with the Crown Prince of Zhennan on the orders of my commander. !"

The young captain did not reply immediately, but turned to look at Xiao Yi, Mr. Jing Qian and others behind him.

When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed.

This has been a rule for thousands of years. This group of eight people came to Yanding City as envoys, so they should be well accommodated and entertained. The generals on the city wall were all ashen as water, waiting for Xiao Yi to say something and open the city gate to let them in.

"Southern Xinjiang will not accept any negotiation except surrender and return of the city." Xiao Yi's face was stern, and he said word by word: "Within ten breaths, retreat or die!"

Everyone was shocked. President Jing Qian and Li Shoubei looked at each other, both of them felt something was wrong.

Mr. Jing Qian clasped his fists and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this... is not good, right?" Although the prince's actions were for the sake of temporary pleasure, they would inevitably be criticized by others. The final sight of the general..."

Xiao Yi raised his right arm to indicate that he did not need to say any more, and said with cold eyes: "The Nanliang people occupied my city and killed my people. Now they dare to come to my door with such arrogance. I really think our Southern Xinjiang Army is good. You can’t bully me!”

Xiao Yi's voice echoed on the city wall, and the soldiers couldn't help but feel excited and secretly happy.

The young captain was even more excited. He couldn't wait to turn to the few envoys from Nanliang in front of the city gate, and said sternly: "The prince has a destiny, ten breaths, retreat or die!"

Those feather arrows adjusted their direction slightly, and the sharp arrows pointed directly at the leader Tu Wu Gu.

Tu Wugu couldn't help but be shocked. He was now an envoy from Nanliang. As the saying goes, "When two countries are at war, the envoy will not be killed until the envoy is killed." Don't the people of Dayu always attach the most importance to the so-called rules and face? Why doesn't this prince act according to common sense?

Thinking of this, Tuwugu hurriedly said loudly: "Admiral Ikaro ordered me to come and discuss the exchange of the Nine Kings with Prince Zhennan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a black arrow shot out of the air, hitting the ground in front of him with lightning speed, only a few inches away from the horse's iron hooves.

The horse neighed in fright, raised its front hooves high, and kicked in mid-air...

Fortunately, Tu Wu Gu’s riding skills were pretty good. He quickly hugged the horse’s neck and comforted the black horse under his crotch.

Black Horse calmed down quickly, but Tu Wugu himself could not calm down for a long time. How could this happen? ! How dare these Dayu people really take action against themselves?

"One!..."

The young captain began to count in a cold voice, and the soldiers on the city gate also counted in unison: "Two! Three!...Five!..."

Hundreds of voices overlapped together, and the shouts shook the sky. Coupled with the hundreds of arrows that were ready to go, the murderous intent made people shudder.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the arrow that was only a few inches away from his horse. Tu Wu frowned and finally said loudly to his companions: "Let's go!"

Today we can only return in vain!

We can only wait until we report back to the marshal before we can make long-term decisions.

"...eight!"

Tu Wu Gu did not dare to delay any longer, so he quickly led his men on horseback and rode away, drifting away...

On the city wall, Xiao Yi watched them go away, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Nine King Langma is indeed in Yanding City now. After capturing him alive, Xiao Yi ordered him to be spared for the time being. Although Jiuwang was of no use, he had a special status in Nanliang. Thanks to him that day, Icaru was in chaos, and they were able to easily capture the cities of Yongjia and Yanding.

Even if a person like this is going to die, he must display his greater value before dying!

Xiao Yi raised the corner of his mouth and suddenly asked: "Li Shoubei, is Langma still alive?"

Li Shoubei on the side showed a strange expression on his face. He took a half step forward, clasped his fists and replied: "According to your instructions, Langma is still moving bricks, and he won't die for a while."

Li Shoubei felt from the bottom of his heart that his son was really creative and unique! The captured prisoners were neither detained nor killed. They were immediately shackled and rushed to work.

The prince said that we, the people of Dayu, still need to support themselves, so we can’t keep these Nanliang prisoners in vain and eat up the military pay of their Southern Xinjiang army!

If you want to eat, you have to work!

Even the dignified Nine Kings of Nanliang are no exception.

This is really... so relieved!

Thinking about it, a flash of indignation flashed in Li Shoubei's eyes.

When Nanliang captured Yanding City, they massacred the city for three days, and 70% to 80% of the young men in the city were killed or wounded. Li Shoubei was originally worried that reconstruction would be difficult, but now that there are so many more prisoners, everything It went very smoothly.

The Nine Kings of Nanliang have long lost the aloof look they once had. The originally thin skin and tender flesh had become dark and rough after being exposed to the scorching sun for days and days of hard work, and the whole person had lost a lot of weight. I guess the King of Nanliang wouldn't recognize this younger brother when he saw him!

Everyone on the city wall also felt very happy, looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

After that, Xiao Yi returned to the garrison mansion. This was his daily schedule. He would practice martial arts when the rooster crows, and then patrol along the city. Around noon, he would return to the garrison mansion to deal with official documents and trivial matters.

This happens every day without getting tired of it.

A few more days passed in this way. On this afternoon, Xiao Yi had just finished reading a stack of official documents in the study room and stretched himself. Suddenly, a faint eagle cry came from the window. ……
