The next day, at dawn, Murong Shen, who had been standing in the darkness all night, left the palace and led a group of soldiers on horseback to leave.
Xu Erwu, who had been watching Murong Shen's movements, came to report: "Your Majesty, Captain Murong is gone."
Xu Jing, who felt refreshed after a good sleep, got up and went to bed: "Well, let people throw away everything he used."
Xu Erwu: "..."
Xu Jing first went to the martial arts studio to practice boxing and kicking, and then practiced long swords. Several private soldiers who were training with him were knocked down by his master one after another, and they screamed in pain.
Xu Jing was angry and funny, and glared at him: "Get up, stop pretending. Use all your strength. If you dare to act like this again, I will never spare you."
This slightly exaggerated atmosphere was brought about by Xu Shiyi.
Xu Shiyi got up from the ground, with a troubled look on his face: "The prince has really wronged me. Even though I tried my best, I couldn't stop the prince's ten moves."
The other soldiers also nodded in agreement.
Xu Jing had many tricks up his sleeve: "You come one by one, and it doesn't matter if you use ruthless tricks or tricks. As long as you can defeat me within a hundred moves, I will be a matchmaker for him. He can choose any of the young and beautiful maids in the palace."
All the soldiers: "!!!"
And such good things!
The eyes of all the soldiers suddenly lit up. They were all eager to try. It was a life-long matter, so you couldn't be polite.
An hour later, the soldiers were lying on the ground again. This time, no one gave in, and they really lost.
Xu Jing was sweating profusely. After bathing and changing into new clothes, he felt refreshed and went to pay his respects to his father.
As soon as Eunuch Ma left, King Beihai's condition began to "get better". At this time, his two daughters helped him to lie down and sat under the eaves to bask in the sun.
Pretending to be sick is not easy. You have to be calm and endure loneliness. In order to appear realistic, Bei Haiwang reduced his food intake by more than half and drank medicine for real. He has lost a lot of weight, and his huge belly has shrunk a lot.
The facial contours are also clearer.
To be able to give birth to a son as handsome as Xu Jing, King Beihai's appearance is naturally good. When he was young, King Beihai was also famous for being handsome!
Xu Jing stepped forward with a smile, and spoke to his biological father in a formal manner: "Father has lost a lot of weight, but he looks handsome."
King Beihai chuckled: "That's right, even though everyone praises you for being handsome, in fact, you are still a bit inferior to what you were as a father."
Xu Ying and Xu Wan both pursed their lips and smiled.
Princess Beihai also had a smile on her face and boasted: "Isn't it true? When the prince was young, he was a famous and handsome boy in the capital. Back then, the late emperor decreed a marriage, and I don't know how many noble ladies in the capital were envious of me."
King Beihai smiled and looked at his old wife: "It's useless for them to be envious. This flower of mine fell into your hands."
Princess Beihai smiled proudly.
We are an old married couple, and we don’t mind being cheesy.
Xu Jing coughed: "Father, mother, concubine, I have something to tell you. Sister Yue Ya'er has grown hair, and I want to go to Zhao's house today..."
"You are too impatient." King Beihai glanced at his impatient son: "Getting married is a big deal, how can we be hasty. After a few days, my father can barely move around, so he will go to the Zhao family in person to propose marriage."
Can you not be in a hurry?
He wished he could marry Yue Ya'er's sister back home immediately, so that those crazy bees and butterflies who coveted Yue Ya'er's sister would give up as soon as possible.
Xu Jing murmured in his heart and nodded reluctantly: "Then wait five days."
North Sea King: "..."
…
Three days later.
In the military camp outside Qinglong Village, Li Ji led Li Xiao and other generals to see Captain Murong off.
Murong Shen was in a bad mood. He had not even smiled in the past few days and spoke extremely concisely: "I want to return to Beijing to resume my duties. General Li has made great achievements in suppressing bandits this time. I will definitely take credit for General Li."
Li Ji smiled heartily and said, "It's all Colonel Murong's command who deserves the credit. I'm just following Captain Murong to take the credit."
Murong Shen didn't want to say much, said goodbye to all the generals, and then led the imperial guards to leave the military camp.
The mountain road was difficult to navigate, so the Imperial Guards formed two long queues and marched slowly.
Li Ji suppressed his smile and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Brother," Li Xiao came over and said, "This Murong Shen has higher eyesight than a bully. Why does it seem like he suffered a heavy setback when he came back from Beihai County this time?"
Li Ji hesitated: "There must be some reasons."
After a pause, he ordered: "Go to Beihai County and give Cao Gui's head to General Zheng."
The bandits were alive, and under torture, they confessed that Cao Gui had injured Zheng Xuanfeng that day. Li Ji was rough on the outside but subtle on the inside, and acted in an orderly manner. This was because he wanted to have a good relationship with General Zheng.
Li Xiao was bored in the military camp all day. When he heard about such a leisurely errand, his eyes lit up: "I'll leave today."
With that said, he rushed out of the military tent like a gust of wind.
Li Ji was so angry and funny that he had to call a few reliable soldiers: "You go to Beihai County with Li Xiao. Keep an eye on him and don't let him do anything extraordinary."
These two soldiers were both sons of the Li family. They were loyal to their master and accepted orders without hesitation.
…
Murong Shen led the imperial guards on their way back to the capital, not to mention it for now.
Let's talk about Li Xiao, who led more than a dozen soldiers. After leaving Qinglong Mountain, he got on the official road and rode all the way to Beihai County.
Arriving at the East Gate of Beihai County, the gate officer who had been in office for a few months immediately stopped Li Xiao.
Li Xiao reported his identity and origin.
The city gate officer was a confidant of General Zheng. Hearing that Li Xiao had sent Cao Gui's head, he felt excited and immediately said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the second young master to come over immediately."
He turned around and gave orders, and within a moment of burning the incense, a young man dressed like a low-level general arrived.
Li Xiao glanced at him.
One's aura cannot be concealed. The Second Master Zheng had obviously tried his best to appear calm. When he opened his mouth, he revealed his secret: "Thank you, General Li, for sending Cao Gui's head. I have sent someone to deliver the message."
When I get home, my dad and my eldest brother will be very happy to hear this."
"It's rare for General Li to come to Beihai County. I will be your host and treat General Li to a few days of food, drinks and entertainment."
Li Xiao entered the military camp at the age of fourteen and was detained in the military camp all day long. He didn't know how depressed he was. After hearing these words, his heart was moved, and his face looked serious: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, for your kindness. I came here on the order of the general."
, it’s important to run your errands first.”
After that, he and Zheng Xuanqing went to Zheng's house.
General Zheng got the news and hurried back to Zheng's house.
Zheng Xuanfeng, who had a broken leg, improved quite a bit under the careful diagnosis and treatment of famous doctors in Beihai County. Now he could sit up from the bed and thanked Li Xiao with a pale face.
Seeing Zheng Xuanfeng's miserable state, Li Xiao felt a little pity in his heart, and whispered: "Qinglong Village has been leveled. More than four thousand bandits have been killed, and there are still hundreds left alive who will be used as military slaves."
In this way, Zheng Xuanfeng can be comforted a little.
At this moment, a very handsome young man dressed in rich clothes walked in.
