As soon as he heard these words, Xu Jing's expression suddenly changed.
Xu Jing first signaled Xu Shiyi to shut up with his eyes, and then entered the room with a calm expression. He smiled at Zhao Xiyan and said, "There is a message from the military camp. There are some things that need to be handled by him. I will go take a bath and change clothes first, and he will be here later."
Zhao Xiyan raised her eyes, looked at Xu Jing for a moment, and suddenly said: "What happened? It shouldn't be the military camp. Could it be that something happened in the palace? What happened in Beihai County?"
Xu Jing: "..."
The bad thing about being a childhood sweetheart is that he can't hide any secrets from Yue Yaer's sister.
Xu Jing tried very hard to hide it: "Don't worry too much. It's nothing serious. It's just that a few soldiers from the military camp sneaked out and were caught. Xu San was not sure how to deal with it, so he sent someone back to deliver a message."
Zhao Xiyan ignored Xu Jing's nonsense, stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, and asked Xu Shiyi who was standing outside: "Xu Shiyi, what happened?"
Xu Shiyi glanced at his master for help.
Zhao Xiyan's pretty face sank, and there was a hint of displeasure in her voice: "I won't tell the truth in front of him. It doesn't matter, I am the prince's personal soldier, so I really don't need to take his prince's concubine in my eyes."
Xu Shiyi: "..."
Xu Shiyi couldn't resist such a rush, so he had to whisper: "Prince Princess, don't be upset, just tell me. Something happened in Beihai County! The prince sent people to deliver the message all the way, and Zhou Sui led a group of bandits to attack Beihai County.
, Your Majesty has issued an order to seal the city gate!"
Zhao Xiyan's expression suddenly changed, and her body was trembling slightly.
Xu Jing came over quickly and held Zhao Xiyan's cold legs: "Don't panic, sister Yue Ya'er, there are two thousand troops stationed in Beihai County and tens of thousands of people. We have sealed the city gate and guarded it for two or three months."
It's difficult. He immediately went to the palace to see his cousin and asked his cousin to convince the emperor to send troops to suppress the bandits."
Zhao Xiyan's legs trembled, and her face turned red: "What if the emperor refuses to send troops?"
Emperor Yongming didn't care at all about the life and death of the vassal kings. Maybe he secretly hoped that King Beihai would die in the legs of the bandits. How could he be willing to mobilize troops so easily?
Zhao Xiyan was extremely anxious. In fact, Xu Jing was equally worried. There are more than 2,000 members of the Zhao family in Beihai County, and his father, queen, mother, concubine, and fourth sister are also in Beihai County. In case the bandits invade Beihai County...
…I don’t even dare to think about going east.
Xu Jing cheered up and comforted Zhao Xiyan: "It concerns the stability of the country. No matter how stupid the emperor is, he will not ignore it. I am waiting for good news from him."
Zhao Xiyan nodded first, his eyes flashed with water, and he choked in a low voice: "Counting the time and months, his father and uncle are very far away. I don't know if they know that Beihai County is besieged by bandits."
After all, Beihai County had a tall city gate and two thousand garrison guards. Zhao Yuanming and the others were afraid that they would lose their lives if they ran into the bandit army.
Xu Jing whispered: "Don't be afraid. There is a bandit trouble in Beihai County. Even the city gates are sealed. There is such a big movement. My father-in-law and uncle will definitely receive the news. Just ask them to find a safe place to hide. There will be no big trouble."
hinder."
Thousands of miles away, there's no point in being impatient.
Zhao Xiyan wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and urged: "Stop lingering and enter the palace immediately."
Xu Jing nodded and left quickly, galloping along the way.
The feudal prince's palace was very close to the palace. In just a moment, he was outside the palace gate. It was already dark, and there were palace lanterns hanging outside the palace gate. There were more than ten guards guarding the palace gate.
Wearing soft armor, his eyes are bright.
Xu Jingdong rode up and hurried outside the palace gate. When the guards were on duty, they were not allowed to remove their armor or be polite. Even if they knew whether the person in front of them was the Prince of Beihai, they still had to ask for a waist test card.
Xu Jing suppressed the eagerness in his heart to deal with the guards. After entering the palace gate, he quickly went to the East Palace.
The prince was frail and sick, and was used to going to bed early, so he was already sleeping in the east.
Eunuch Lu smiled and said, "The master of the palace has gone to bed to rest. If there is anything going on with the master of the palace, please come back again if the moon shines brightly!"
Xu Jing glanced at Eunuch Lu: "He is in a hurry and asks to see his cousin immediately. I will go in and wake up my cousin."
Eunuch Lu: "..."
In other words, if it were Xu Jing who was the prince of another feudal lord, Eunuch Lu would not pay attention to him at all.
Eunuch Lu agreed in a low voice and entered the dormitory. Within a moment, Xu Jing was invited to enter the dormitory.
The prince got up from the bed, feeling a little confused: "Chunsheng, it's rare for me to take a break. I'm not with my newlywed wife in the palace, so why did I come to the East Palace?"
Xu Jing took a step forward and knelt down in front of the bed: "Cousin, he has something urgent to ask of me!"
The prince was startled, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He stretched out his legs and pulled Xu Jing up: "What happened? Tell me quickly!"
Xu Jing's eyes were a little red and his voice was calm: "Something happened in Beihai County. He just received the news that a group of giant bandits surrounded Beihai County. There were nearly ten thousand bandits. His father had no choice but to order a blockade.
City gate. There are two thousand troops stationed in Beihai County, and they should be able to guard the city wall for two or three months."
"Bu Nao, Beihai County is far away and the transmission of news is inconvenient. The imperial court wants to send troops to suppress the bandits, and it will take a month to travel. He came to ask his cousin to persuade the emperor to send troops to suppress the bandits immediately."
Anger flashed in the prince's eyes: "Those bandits are really rampant. He will go see his father then."
Xu Jing was filled with gratitude and said: "Thank you very much, cousin."
The prince's body is weak and his legs don't have much strength. Holding Xu Jing's legs at this moment is particularly reassuring: "I don't need to thank him. He is the prince of the Jin Dynasty and will never allow bandits to cause trouble in the country. I will go to Fu with him."
Youdian meets father."
…
In the Beihai Palace, Zhao Xiyan was so distraught that she waited in Zhuhuodong for two hours until Xu Jing returned after midnight.
"Brother Chunsheng," Zhao Xiyan hurriedly came forward to greet him, her eyes eagerly passing over Xu Jing's handsome face: "Have I seen the prince and the emperor here?"
Xu Jing looked complicated and sighed in a low voice: "I saw my cousin. My cousin immediately led him to Fuyou Hall. The emperor was summoning the concubines in the harem to drink and have fun. They waited for an hour, but the emperor did not see them.
.”
"My cousin asked him to come back first and then enter the palace early in the morning."
Anger and disgust flashed in Zhao Xiyan's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and whispered: "That foolish king will beg to die sooner or later when the beauty falls."
Xu Jing was also holding back his anger, and he and his sister Yue Yaer scolded the foolish king together.
After Zhao Xiyan calmed down a little, Xu Jing opened his mouth and said: "Sending troops to fight is not a trivial matter. It will not be the emperor's request to send troops to suppress the bandits, nor will it be dispatched immediately. The army will go out in July or August at least."
"There's no point in being anxious. Just be patient and wait. It's getting late, so go to bed first!"
Zhao Xiyan responded in a low voice.
That night, the young couple tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Early the next month, when it was dark, Xu Jing got up and went into the palace again.
