Houtu country, the capital.

At this time, the early dynasty has passed, as the emperor of the Houtu Kingdom, this king is in the Xuanhe Hall to review the folds, review today's work matters, and arrange one by one, and issue the holy decree.

At this moment-

"Qi Qi Sheng, Ding Dang Xiang Ding Horse asks to see!"

Hearing this brother-in-law's request to see him, the emperor's eyebrows raised slightly, and a slightly complicated and unpredictable expression appeared on his face. He put down the recital: "Let him in." ”

The voice fell, and after a while, the eunuch led Ding Dangxiang and walked in slowly. The general Ding put down a long brocade box in his hand and bowed three times and bowed to the emperor.

"Wei Chen Ding Dang Xiang see the saint! I wish my emperor long live, long live, long live!"

The Emperor nodded, and in an instant, a very angry expression immediately appeared on his face, and he exclaimed.

"Ding Dangxiang, you are so bold! Don't think that if you become my brother-in-law, I won't dare to punish you. You have not even taken a leave of absence for no reason this morning! Are you here to apologize to me?"

Ding Dangxiang hurriedly bowed down again, his forehead touched the ground, and his voice said in a panicked voice: "Weichen should die! Wei Chen interrogated a robbery and murder case overnight yesterday, but it was really because the case was complicated, and in order to avoid the morale of the military from being shaken, the trial lasted until the sunrise in the east today! In order to prevent the saint from seeing Wei Chen's delirious and ugly state, he slept and came back again. ！”

Smack!

The emperor slapped his hand heavily on the table and snorted coldly, "Very good, Ding Dangxiang, you are really good! You can even get out of the barracks with robbers and murders? You are a good army!"

Ding Dangxiang's body shook, and he continued to kowtow and said, "Weichen is guilty! Wei Chen brought the clothes of the culprit today to plead with His Majesty. Now, these gangsters have been executed by military law. But some of the small amount of money that was stolen is really impossible to find, and Weichen has no way to discipline him, so please also ask His Majesty to give him the guilt!"

After speaking, Ding Dangxiang lifted the box, and the eunuch next to him glanced at the emperor, and only after getting the emperor's nod and permission did he come over to take the box.

The eunuch opened the box and made sure that there were no other mechanisms in the box, and then handed the box containing four pieces of clothing to the emperor.

Clothes. Two men and two women. On it, there were stains of blood.

The emperor didn't look closely at the two men's clothes, and his eyes swept carefully over the two bloodstained women's clothes.

When it is confirmed, a smile that is not noticeable enough...... At this moment, the corners of the Holy Emperor's mouth floated.

"Well, I've seen it. ”

The smile no longer continued, and the anger on the emperor's face was still very palpable. He waved his hand and asked the eunuch next to him to put away the clothes box and return it to Ding Dangxiang. sneered: "Ding Dangxiang, you have no way to govern the army, so there will be theft and murder cases in the army, I should have punished you." But the mind is in your retention. And the amount of money stolen is not large and does not matter, so it is not too late. I will punish you for three months, and then go back to manage the army well. So that this doesn't happen next time!"

"Xie Majesty xià atonement for his sins! ”

Ding Dangxiang thanked him loudly, holding the box. He retreated and left the Xuanhe Palace.

Walking towards the outside of the palace, Ding Dangxiang's mouth always had that smile on his lips, and he did not have the slightest dissatisfaction because he was fined for three months. However, when he saw a little boy of about seven or eight years old in a yellow pony coat running in front of him, he immediately put away the smile on his face and bowed to the boy.

"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The little boy didn't seem to care much about Ding Dangxiang's salute, and when he saw the general, he immediately ran over, and his little face looked very impatient.

"Uncle, I heard that my father has punished you? Is this true?"

Ding Dangxiang stood up, smiled, and said, "It's true." I didn't see the early dynasty, which should have been punished. Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you going to study now?"

The little boy sighed, shook his head, and said, "Yes, I'm going to the teacher's place to read the four books and five classics that are useless...... Alas, I wish my uncle could be my teacher. My uncle knows a lot of things, and those teachers can't even compare to my uncle's finger!"

Ding Dangxiang shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "After all, my uncle was born in a common man, and he hasn't read many books. All I know is some secular wild history. ”

"But my uncle's lectures are more interesting! My uncle always finds some interesting stories to illustrate what he teaches, unlike those old pedants who only know how to call me rote memorization! Damn, I must let my father change my teacher, let my uncle be my teacher, I believe that my learning will definitely not be bad, but will be better!"

Ding Dangxiang nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go study first~~! I'm going back, or your aunt will be worried." ”

The prince nodded, waved his hand, and reluctantly walked towards his destination: "Goodbye! I'll go to play with my aunt and uncle next time!"

Looking at the back of the little prince leaving, Ding Dangxiang smiled, took another step, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Leaving the palace and getting into the carriage.

The coachman waved his whip and headed towards the Pony's house. Ding Dangxiang returned home, said goodbye to Princess Shaohua, took care of some affairs, and had dinner.

After dinner, he dressed in civilian clothes and left the Pony Mansion without a single attendant. After observing the people's situation on the street for a while, Ding Dangxiang came to a private house, stretched out his hand, and knocked lightly on the door.

Knock - Knock Knock - Knock Knock - Knock

After what seemed to be a chaotic knock on the door, there was a soft click in the door.

The door opened, and through the crack in the door was the face of an old woman.

After seeing Ding Dang, the old woman opened the door and let him in.

The door was closed, and Ding Dangxiang looked at the house, although it looked a little simple, but all the things needed were available, and it was also cleaned very clean, without any dust.

"Are you still used to living there?"

The old woman slowly walked over to a chair and sat down. She seemed to be acting carefully while clutching her stomach. On that very old face, a pair of eyes looked very young and ethereal.

"Thank you General Ding for your kindness, great kindness, Li'er can't repay it......"

Ding Dangxiang smiled, shook his head and said, "What are you doing to be polite to me?" It's just temporary now, I'll arrange a better place for you in a few days." No matter what, I can't wronged the Holy Lord's favorite concubine......"

"And, the dragon seed in the belly of the concubine, right?"

In Ding Dangxiang's modest and gentle smile, the old woman reached out and touched her stomach again. Those young eyes revealed infinite anticipation...... (To be continued......)
