Prince Zhao waited for a moment and saw that the three generals were hesitant. He felt very unhappy and his face suddenly darkened: "What? You don't listen to my orders?"
General Zhao Shen and others said they did not dare and bowed their heads to accept the order.
The Crown Prince of Zhao also promised benefits: "You guys have accomplished this thing, and I will never treat you badly. Each of you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver and promoted to two levels."
To the military generals, money and silk were not as attractive as promotion. Prince Zhao made a promise, and they all beamed with joy and patted their chests to express their loyalty.
Prince Zhao was satisfied with his dignity now, and raised his eyebrows proudly at Zhu Yang and Ding Lang.
Half an hour later, Zhao Shen quietly withdrew the three men from the military tent. At this time, the soldiers in the military camp had already fallen asleep and were snoring.
Cui Xiaowei and General Ma went to the military tent of General Zhao Shen with a tacit understanding. The three of them relied on the support of King Zhao to achieve their current situation. On weekdays, General Zhao Shen was the leader, and they paid homage to him in private.
sworn brothers.
"Brother Zhao," Lieutenant Cui lowered his voice, with worry flashing in his eyes: "The Crown Prince gave the order just now, and the three of us have to respond. But this matter is really tricky! If one of us can't do it well, let alone get promoted and make a fortune.
Your future and my life are all over."
"Exactly." Ma Zongbing's face was tense, and there was unhappiness in his voice: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has been very kind to us. If His Highness has an order, we will not frown even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire. But this matter
, made it clear that the prince’s own intention was not known at all by His Highness.”
Captain Cui continued: "Moreover, General Shen is a close confidant of the emperor and has served as the commander of the Imperial Guard. He was promoted to the second rank of a mighty general at a young age and is only under General Meng. The three of us
We are doing something secretly, and once we are discovered, even the emperor will not be able to spare us."
General Zhao Shen frowned and sighed: "Second brother and third brother, I don't know what you are talking about. But today, the crown prince has given the order in person, and we cannot refuse at all and have no choice but to comply."
Captain Cui looked at the rough man, who actually had the most clever ideas, and immediately whispered an idea: "It's better to do this. Let's deal with the Crown Prince first. Anyway, the Crown Prince and his party will return to the capital soon. It's better to start sooner or later, it's not us.
It’s up to you. Use this time to quietly send a letter to the capital to His Highness King Zhao.”
"If His Highness nods in agreement, we will fight for our future and have to say this for the sake of the Crown Prince."
"On the other hand, if His Highness prohibits us from acting rashly, we will have an explanation to the Crown Prince."
This is not a bad idea.
Zhao Shenjiang thought for a moment and nodded: "I will write a letter now and send it out overnight."
Send the letter to the capital quickly, and it will take about ten days to come and go. Prince Zhao has not yet arrived in the capital, and the reply from King Zhao should have arrived.
Cui Xiaowei, General Ma, repeatedly echoed: "Brother, write a letter quickly! We will see what to do when His Highness King Zhao's reply comes."
…
Prince Zhao, who was so proud and confident, never expected that as soon as he turned around, the three of them would start discussing how to eliminate the problem.
Prince Zhao proudly declared in front of Zhu Yang and Ding Lang: "Just wait and see! This time, I will make Shen You suffer a big fall."
Zhu Yang immediately flattered him: "The prince still has a way."
Ding Lang muttered casually: "The three of them can't be unreliable, right?"
Prince Zhao raised his eyebrows and his words were full of pride: "Don't worry. They are all my father's people. They dare not disobey my son's words."
In fact, Zhu Yang didn't feel at ease at all, but he was more discerning than Ding Lang. He followed Prince Zhao and said, "That's right. Today, the Crown Prince is so majestic and majestic that we are really envious."
A proud smile flashed across Prince Zhao's face.
At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew from nowhere and penetrated through the cracks in the tent. Prince Zhao was the fattest and most afraid of the cold. He couldn't help but shuddered and said: "I will never stop this damn place from now on." Not coming again."
Zhu Yang Dinglang also didn't want to stay any longer: "I'll leave tomorrow."
Early the next morning, as soon as General Meng arrived, the three princes and princes of Zhao announced that they would leave for Beijing that day. General Meng's enthusiastic attempts to persuade them to stay could not sway them.
They didn't want to stay in this cold and windy place for any longer.
General Meng had no choice but to arrange travel arrangements and send someone to send a message to Shen You. No matter what grievances he had privately, he had to show off publicly and give Prince Zhao and the three of them a ride!
Shen You led fifty of the emperor's personal guards to see him off.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet... The main reason is that Young Master Ding Langding's eyes are extremely red. Crown Prince Zhao and Zhu Yang are relatively wealthy, and they cannot break up on such occasions.
Prince Zhao said with a smile: "My prince will set off back to the capital today, and he will be able to return to the capital within ten days at most. It is a pity that General Shen will stay in the border army in the future, and I will not be able to see him even if he wants to see him."
It is soft yet thorny, and the sarcasm is clearly visible.
Unfortunately, Shen You didn't care at all and responded calmly: "It's hard to say. Maybe the prince will be ordered to come to the border army in the future. The general will still have a chance to deal with the prince."
The Prince of Zhao was choked, and a suffocation filled his chest. Looking at Shen You's handsome and majestic demeanor, he felt even more stunned.
You can't win after fighting, and you can't get the upper hand in verbal exchanges. You want to use your power to overwhelm others, but Shen You doesn't do this at all.
Yeah, the more I think about it, the worse it gets. Let’s go, let’s go!
…
After sending off Prince Zhao and his entourage, General Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said Wen Wen to Shen You: "It's hard work for General Shen to make this trip today. After all, they are members of the royal family, and their status is noble and should not be messed with. Now they are safe." Returning to Beijing is also a good thing."
Shen You respected General Meng very much and hurriedly responded: "General, your words are serious. The prince and his entourage are leaving. It's both emotional and reasonable. We should all come to deliver the letter. It's not hard work."
General Meng smiled and said: "There is nothing to do now. General Shen will take them back to settle down and have a good rest. They can come back to the military camp in five days."
Shen You bowed his hands and accepted.
A group of people rode home. They all lived in the same place and happened to be traveling together.
As soon as Shen You got off his horse, Shen Jia called out: "Come to my place for a drink tonight. The beef and mutton from the border city are thick and delicious. I'll have someone go to the restaurant to order some dishes to be delivered tonight, and we can also try the flavor of the border city."
Before Shen You could say anything, Fang Peng had already rushed to respond: "I will definitely come earlier. By the way, remember to prepare some fine wine from the border town. I won't come home until I'm drunk tonight."
Shen You laughed: "Why do you need to drink again?"
Shen Jia grinned and said: "You can still rest for five days! When you enter the military camp, you will have to stop drinking. If you have the opportunity in these days, drink one more meal."
