Minglang pondered for a while: "This matter can't be known to the queen mother, now that the military power is still in his hands, we can't openly turn against him now, otherwise he will rebel without scruples, and our mother and son have no chance of winning." I need to outwit him and let him understand that I am not a soft persimmon to be kneaded by him. ”

Yanran looked at him, his expression was calm and steady under the light, his eyes were deep, and he completely got rid of the childishness of last year.

"In my opinion, you still need to find a way to remove him from his military power, or you will always be constrained by him."

Minglang nodded. "Come on, I'll come up with a plan for me tonight......"

When the morning glow opened the curtains, the guards who had been patrolling all night saw their Prince Xuanyuan open the window and stretch outside.

The night's patrol work finally ended, and they evacuated the Zhongcui Palace with wandering steps.

After washing, the energetic prince took the shy Rong Liangyuan to Fengyuan Palace and asked the queen to say goodbye. Ming Yan looked at the two of them and was overjoyed: he had finally subdued this demon king of the mixed world.

She looked at Rong Liangyuan, who lowered her head, and asked meaningfully, "Are you okay at night?" ”

Rong Liangyuan's face was flushed, and she replied respectfully: "Go back to the queen's mother, be well!" ”

Minglang interjected: "Queen Mother, she is also very good!" ”

Mingyan laughed heartily. "In this way, you will continue to sleep peacefully tonight, but don't be too greedy and mess around, and you will follow General Shi to Luoding Mountain early tomorrow morning."

"Queen Mother, are you going this time?"

"Don't go, I'm old, and I'm afraid of being tired, so let's look at this imperial city for you."

After chatting a few words, the two retreated, Rong Liangyuan returned to his residence, and Minglang still returned to Zhongcui Palace.

Yanran didn't leave until early in the morning, and the two discussed all night and made a plan to deal with Shi Wenyuan. Minglang was in a good mood at this time, firstly, because the queen mother had temporarily concealed the past, and the farce of the concubine could be temporarily ended, and secondly, Yanran returned, and he felt full of heart.

The next day, Ming Lang led two hundred imperial guards, took Rong and Li, two good yuans, and followed Shi Wenyuan to Luoding Mountain. Ming Yan personally sent them out of the east gate of the imperial city. In the early spring sun, Minglang, dressed in sky blue and refreshed, waved to her repeatedly on horseback, and she stood at the city gate, watching their figures disappear into the dust.

There are palaces on the road, and they don't feel tired when someone arranges their itinerary. On the first night, Minglang still took Rong Liangyuan to rest, but he suddenly had a whim before going to bed, and he was going to play chess with Feng Zhan, the commander of the imperial guard. Although Feng Zhan is young, he is a good chess player, and almost all of the Manchu civil and military forces are not his opponents. Minglang also challenged him, but he was defeated again and again, and finally fled without a fight. I don't know what stimulated him this time, but he remembered to play chess again.

From time to time there was a crackling sound of chess pieces falling in the room, and a clear shout, Feng Zhan was a courtier after all, and his voice was soft, which meant forbearance. Shi Wenyuan paced back and forth in front of the prince's door a few times, but the two of them were still interested. couldn't help but knock on the door and said, "Prince, rest early, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”

Minglang replied impatiently: "Got it, three more rounds!" ”

obviously stinks chess, and refuses to spare people. Shi Wenyuan snorted in his nose, flicked his sleeves, and went to rest.

Inside, Minglang held his head with one hand, knocked on the chess pieces with the other hand, and shouted indiscriminately in his mouth. At the other end of the room, Feng Zhan and Rong Liangyuan were snuggling together and whispering.

Feng Zhan is Rong Liangyuan's cousin Rong Rong. The two have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have been in love for a long time. Rongrong's grandfather couldn't look down on Feng Zhan, so he had to send his granddaughter to the palace, so he broke up a pair of little mandarin ducks alive. That day and night, Rong Rong and Ming Lang told each other stories, and Ming Lang knew that Rong Rong's intended person was his own guard commander, and this time he came out, so he managed to create an opportunity for the two.

Listening to the whispering words of the two in his ears, thinking of his own girl, he was sad and satisfied. The mind is drifting away.

An hour later, the two little mandarin ducks held hands and knelt down in front of Minglang, thanking him for his accomplishment. Minglang was still knocking on the chess pieces while waving his hand at the two. The two stood up, Minglang also shook the chess pieces, and said loudly: "Don't play, I'm tired, fight again tomorrow!" ”

Feng Zhan comprehended, and also echoed: "Okay, fight again tomorrow!" ”

Seeing Feng Zhan go out, Minglang really yawned and said to Rong Rong: "You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the carpet." ”

Rong Rong hurriedly said: "Cousin said, you are the future emperor, since we are pretending, I can't sleep in your bed......" She lowered her head, "In the future, I will sleep on the ground, and Your Highness will sleep in the bed." Otherwise, I'll lose my life......"

Minglang had no choice but to surrender.

Nothing was said all night.

On the night of the second day, Feng Zhan played chess with the prince until late at night. On the afternoon of the third day, they arrived at the Luoding Mountain Hunting Ground.

At night, more than 200 people, all young people, far away from the oppressive place of the palace, burst out with great enthusiasm in this high ground and wide environment, singing and dancing, and playing for most of the night. Minglang and Liangyuan are naturally no exception.

When the bonfire was extinguished, Feng Zhan beckoned the guards to rest and keep vigil, and Minglang ordered the two Liangyuan to sleep together, and he went to bed and lay down alone.

I slept until midnight, when I heard a "boom" and the barracks caught fire. The guards were startled, fighting the fire, saving people, Shi Wenyuan suddenly pointed to the northwest and shouted: "Someone is attacking the camp, chasing!" ”

Suddenly, except for those who put out the fire or were wounded, all the other guards followed him towards the northwest of the night.

Minglang stumbled out of the camp, his face blackened with smoke, and under the escort of Feng Zhan and four other guards, he also rushed away.

galloped for a while, but still couldn't see the shadow of Shi Wenyuan and the guards, and wanted to come and go far away. Feng Zhan was worried about the prince's safety, so he wanted to turn around.

The horse's head turned around, and a whistle sounded, and a group of black-clothed men appeared in front of them, all holding torches and swords.

A black-clothed man with a full beard pointed to Minglang in the crowd and said: "This mountain is the master, this tree is the master, you have to pass by here, leave the money to buy the road!" ”

It turned out to be a group of robbers.

Feng Zhanyue stepped forward immediately and shouted: "Dog thief, there have been no robbers in Luo Dingshan, where did you come from?" ”

The man in black in the lead snorted coldly: "A certain family is a thief in Baling Mountain." He stretched out his hand and waved it back, shouting, "Do it!" ”

Dozens of people picked up their swords and surrounded them, not asking for money, but only taking their lives.

Feng Zhan and four guards surrounded the prince in the middle, and one of the guards put his hand to his mouth, and a scream pierced the night and spread far away.

Immediately, ten feet away from the man in black, suddenly a dozen more horses appeared, all of them masked, and the torches flickered, illuminating their eyes like wolves. A masked man shouted: "Dog thief, I've been tracking you for half a year, and I'll see you run there tonight!" ”

The man in black who came first turned to look back, surprised. Hell, they're just gang names that came out randomly, where did they come out of the "Three Kingdoms Heroes" who have been tracking them for half a year?

The whistle guard pointed at the man in black and shouted, "Release!" ”
