After dinner, Yang Shu talked about his situation: "...Actually, the real person in charge of the army is General Cao Xian. His family has been generals for three generations. He has both fame and ability, and he can also control those generals. As for me, I have nothing to worry about.
He has no real power, and now he just hangs around with King An."
Ah Xuan came back from his stroll. He had not eaten a few bites before, but now he was eating happily with a soup pot. He interrupted by the way: "Your Highness just has to go about his life. The credit is not yours anyway, so why are you so diligent and willing to die? No matter what
In this way, we can’t deprive you of food and drink, right?”
Yang Shu looked at him with disgust: "When you eat, eat well! With Ah Wan's absence, you are even more shameless! Look at you, you are so full of food, are you ugly? Only a tolerant master like me can allow you to fool around like this.
day."
Ah Xuan gave up on himself and continued to eat. Anyway, his image as a cold-faced guard had already collapsed.
——Turn grief and anger into appetite!
Mingwei asked: "What kind of person is that old General Cao?"
Yang Shu twitched his lips: "Since you plan to kill me, the person who will be sent to command the army is naturally his. This old general Cao has a moderate temperament. He is more cautious than brave in fighting. He usually does not offend anyone." He paused.
After a moment, he said, "When my grandparents were here, he would come to deliver Boxing Day gifts every year. He was quite respectful."
"So, he won't openly embarrass you?"
"Yeah." Yang Shu sneered, "If he dares to make things difficult, I will make trouble. Who is afraid of whom?"
Knowing that he was a victim, why was he being so polite? The emperor wanted him to take credit for Prince An and then kill him when it was done. Would he still make people happy as he wished?
"That's good." Mingwei nodded, "I feel relieved if you stay here."
Yang Shu heard something was wrong and asked quickly: "Aren't you going to stay?"
Mingwei and Ning Xiu looked at each other and said, "My husband and I have discussed it. If Mingxiao knows I'm coming, he will definitely not miss this opportunity. Why not lure the snake out of its hole..."
"No!" Yang Shu interrupted her, "This is too dangerous. Besides, you are not in good health now. What if something happens to you?"
"Sir is here!"
"That's not possible, what if?"
"Be obedient." Mingwei reassured him, "Sir and Duofu will stay together, nothing will happen to you."
"But……"
Ning Xiu interrupted him calmly: "You are watching too many people here, and all of them have malicious intentions. How can it be safe? The action tomorrow night is nothing more than mysticism and martial arts. This is exactly what we are good at. Stay here
People around you may be killed by other means, but there is nothing you can do."
"..." Yang Shu was speechless.
"That's it." Ning Xiu didn't give him a chance to get involved. "Since you know someone wants to harm you, you should take care of yourself first. Remember to take care of each other with Xuanfei and don't mess around."
"...Oh." He responded dully.
"That's it, let's go first." Ning Xiu stood up and put his piano on his back.
"Leaving so soon?" Yang Shu reluctantly said, "How long have you been here?"
"It will get dark if you don't leave." Ning Xiu said, "If you hear anything, we will come to see you."
"It's not safe to send messages after all. If someone gets robbed..."
Mingwei whispered softly: "This is a big deal, please feel sorry for yourself. This war will not last long, and we will return to Beijing together when the time comes."
"All right……"
…
When Ming Wei and Ning Xiu left the camp, someone immediately reported the news to a camp.
"Are you leaving now?" A veteran with gray hair and beard frowned after hearing the report.
Sitting in front of him was a burly middle-aged general. Hearing this, he asked: "Father, what tricks are they doing? My son inquired and found out that Miss Ming Qi did follow him thousands of miles when he went to the northwest, and even
Follow me to the military camp. Now that you're following me again, why don't you stay here instead of leaving?"
The veteran said slowly: "Whether she can live here or not, it doesn't matter. It's strange that your highness's senior brother doesn't live here."
"How do you say this?"
The veteran sighed slightly and said: "Because the reason why the eldest princess found him such a master is for his safety."
"That's a bit strange to say. Doesn't he realize the risks?"
After thinking about it over and over again, the veteran felt that it didn't make sense.
Others may look down upon His Royal Highness the King of Yue, but he will not.
He saw with his own eyes how the eldest princess and Lord Boling taught him, and he also heard with his own lips the eldest princess's praise of him.
How could a person who could be recognized by the eldest princess be a fool? In the Battle of the Northwest, others thought that Zong Xu deliberately gave him the credit, but he believed that not even 10% of the battle achievements were true, but 80% of them were true.
The veteran said: "Be more careful. Once this battle starts, it will be easy for people to fish in troubled waters."
"Yes." The middle-aged general hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Father, that Wu Yao has been gesticulating in front of His Highness Prince An all day long, and even criticized military affairs. Should we..."
The veteran waved his hand: "He is just a clown, don't do unnecessary things."
"All right."
…
The account was raised on the second day.
King An sat in the middle, Yang Shu was in second place, then the general Cao Xian, and the commander of the Jiangyang camp Meng Chong.
These two, one is the general sent by the emperor, and the other is the commander of the main navy. It is mainly them who have the final say on how to fight this battle.
The generals below were discussing in a lively manner and wished they could fly across the river immediately and annihilate all the ungrateful Chu soldiers.
King An was bored and didn't understand much, so he slowly dozed off.
"Ha..." He yawned long and rubbed his eyes.
I was so sleepy that I burst into tears.
It seemed like someone was contagious. After he finished spanking, Yang Shu over there also yawned, rested his head on his elbows, and straightened his eyes.
There was silence for a while, and the discussion continued.
King An yawned again, and Yang Shu followed.
The generals were quiet again, and after seeing no reaction from the two of them, they continued.
After doing this several times, Meng Chong couldn't bear it anymore.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I heard that you have made great achievements in the northwest. I think you are proficient in military affairs. Can you give me some advice?"
Forget it for King An, as the future prince, he can only endure it.
You, a man who has done meritorious deeds, are acting like this. Where do you think his Jiangyang camp is?
Yang Shu rubbed his eyes and looked sleepy: "What are you advising me on? I don't know how to fight a water fight. Of course, I want to listen to what you, a professional, have to say. Don't ask, tell me what you think. This is what I'm talking about.
Can’t sleep anymore.”
"..."
What do you mean? Using their speeches discussing the war as hypnosis?
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue!" Meng Chong couldn't bear it anymore. "You are trying to sacrifice your merits. Why don't you take it seriously? How can you tell the last general?"
Yang Shu lazily said: "Then why do you want me to care? Do you want to speak? OK, I think what you are saying is nonsense, can't you just run over?" (To be continued)
