The King of the North Sea was seriously ill, so the important task of welcoming the imperial envoy naturally fell on him, the crown prince of the North Sea.
Xu Jing nodded slightly.
Xu Erwu whispered again: "General Zheng and Commander Xie have received the news and have led their people to go first. Don't delay, Your Majesty, it's better to go now!"
A chamberlain, so impressive.
Xu Jing snorted from his nose.
Seeing Xu Jing about to show off his face, Zhao Yuanming glanced at him disapprovingly: "Ma Sansi has served the prince for more than twenty years and is a confidant of the prince. Although this person is a servant, he is resourceful and has unfathomable thoughts.
Don’t underestimate it, it’s better to deal with it carefully.”
Zhao Xiyan took over the conversation: "What my father means is that Ma Sansi is cunning, cunning, and full of bad intentions. We can't give such a villain any chance to do harm."
Zhao Yuanming: "..."
Xu Jing was very curious about knowledge: "Master, is what sister Yue Ya'er said right?"
Master Zhao coughed: "That's the truth, but don't be too mean when you say it."
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled.
Xu Jing grinned.
Even Zheng Xuanqing, whose eyes were red, couldn't help but be happy.
So, that Ma Sansi is indeed a guy with sores on his head and pus on his soles!
"Your Majesty, let's go together." Zheng Xuanqing wiped his eyes hard.
Xu Jing nodded.
Zhao Yuanming had left officialdom a long time ago, and naturally he would not go to such occasions.
Zhao Xiyan couldn't go even more.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince indulged in beauty, and Ma Sansi was constantly looking for beauties for his master. Even though Zhao Xiyan was wearing coarse linen clothes, it was difficult to conceal her beauty, so it was better not to show her face much during this period.
Xu Jing and Zhao Yuanming looked at each other tacitly, and then Zhao Yuanming said: "Yueya'er, go back to the boudoir."
Zhao Xiyan knew it well and didn't ask any more questions. She nodded in agreement.
…
After leaving Zhao's house, Zheng Xuanqing suddenly leaned into Xu Jing's ear and whispered: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince loves beauty the most. You must hide your sister Yue Yaer."
Look, even idiot Zheng Er can see it.
Xu Jing felt both proud and a little depressed.
He is proud that his sister Yue Yaer is the best girl in the world, like a pearl at night, shining brightly no matter where and when.
What is depressing is that such outstanding beauty has become a burden for Yue Yaer's sister. It is like a peerless treasure that cannot be easily revealed to others, lest it attracts everyone's covetousness.
"Zheng Er," Xu Jing suddenly spoke in a low voice: "We will become stronger together. Only when you are capable and capable can you protect the important people around you."
Zheng Xuanqing nodded heavily, clenched his fist vigorously, waved it in the air, and swore loudly: "That's right. From today on, we two brothers will work together to be the true heroes of Beihai. We will never be idiots again!"
"
Xu Jing was so angry that he stretched out his foot and kicked him: "Get out! You are a fool. My prince is handsome, civilized and military, and extremely smart. How can I be a fool?"
Zheng Xuanqing dodged away and showed his first smile in several days: "Yes, yes, I am a big straw bag, you are better than me, you are an embroidered pillow."
After saying that, he laughed, got on his horse, raised his whip and ran away.
Xu Jing immediately mounted his horse: "Bah! Don't run away! Let me catch up and let you look good."
The sun was warm and the spring was bright. The young men whipped their horses and galloped all the way, leaving the spring breeze behind them.
…
Sheriff Xie was waiting with a dozen civil servants from Beihai County. On the other side were General Zheng and seven or eight generals.
After Wang Tong committed a crime, General Zheng appointed a low-level general from the original East City Gate military camp to temporarily serve as the city gate officer. This general was grateful to General Zheng and obeyed his orders.
The serious injury of the eldest son was undoubtedly a heavy blow to General Zheng. General Zheng had not slept for several nights. At this time, his face was haggard and his eyes were red.
The civil servants and military officers formed their own factions and were naturally arranged on both sides.
The personal relationship between Sheriff Xie and General Zheng was average. However, on the night when Wang Tong's incident occurred, the two of them racked their brains to come up with countermeasures, and they became quite close.
Sheriff Xie came over and sighed in a low voice: "My son was accidentally injured, which is really heartbreaking."
"The imperial court sent an imperial envoy here, and also sent the imperial guards and the Jiaodong Army to suppress the bandits. The bandits in Qinglong Village will definitely be killed this time. The blood of their heads will be used to comfort your son."
However, no matter what, Zheng Xuanfeng's legs could not come back.
General Zheng tried his best to cheer up and said: "Master Xie is right. When I see the imperial envoy later, I will take the initiative to ask for help and go with the army to suppress the bandits."
It is only right for me to avenge my son.
Commander Xie thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "I heard that Colonel Murong, who led the troops, was young and accomplished, and had extraordinary skills. He was trusted and respected by the prince."
"Facing a person like this, General Zheng might as well lower his body a little."
General Zheng nodded: "Thank you for reminding me."
As a military commander, General Zheng knew Murong's power better than Commander Xie.
The Duke of Dingguo is the head of the nobles who have retired from the country, and the Gao family is the new noble force in the military.
As for the Murong family, they have always guarded the imperial guards. They can be said to be the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are in the emperor's heart.
Murong Shen is the next head of the Murong family, and will be the general of the Imperial Guard in ten or twenty years. General Zheng is not stupid, how can he easily provoke him?
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in my ears.
General Zheng, the governor of Xie County, turned his head to look and immediately greeted him with his hands: "I have met the prince."
After the King of Beihai fell ill, all foreign affairs were handed over to his son. Xu Jing is now the highest-status person in Beihai County.
Xu Jing was naturally indispensable for such a big event as welcoming the imperial envoy.
Xu Jing quickly dismounted from his horse and bowed his hands in return. Before he could exchange greetings, he felt his feet vibrating slightly.
Immediately, a muffled sound like thunder came into my ears. Then there was billowing smoke and dust all over the sky.
The imperial envoy finally arrived.
Xu Jing raised his eyebrows and looked over.
General Zheng, the governor of Xie County, stood behind Xu Jing, and behind them were a group of civil servants and military officers. Everyone looked solemn and waited quietly.
The first thing that caught the eye was a luxurious and spacious carriage. It was pulled by four white horses.
There were also more than a hundred men wearing silver soft armor riding horses.
"These are Praetorian Guards."
General Zheng reminded in a low voice: "The leader should be Colonel Murong, who came to deliver the order to suppress the bandits on the prince's orders."
Xu Jing groaned and stared at the tall and heroic young man on the horse.
They were still far away and couldn't see each other's faces clearly.
However, Xu Jing somehow didn't like the high-spirited and seemingly powerful young man.
"What's his name?"
Xu Jing turned around and asked.
General Zheng replied: "The eldest son of the Murong family, Murong Shen."
Xu Jing snorted from his nose.
He is the son of a soldier leader, a half-servant of the royal family, and he looks so impressive.
