Before the end of the year, there were a series of things in the first month, Lan Qiduo went out of the palace to walk around and heard so many gossips, and after coming back, he had to endure all kinds of temptations and inquiries from his father's palace concubines.

What's more, starting from the fifth princess, several unmarried sisters can't sit still, if the father is willing to recruit horses for the ninth sister, then what about these older princesses who have not yet married, for a while there is a little more resentment in the harem, they are all daughters, and they are not so eccentric!

However, just after February of this year, the second dragon raised its head, and all of them could no longer care about arguing about these things, and everyone was silent!

Because they have always been gentle and elegant, their suave father and emperor have demoted dozens of officials in the court and confiscated their homes, among which the Xie family, which is based far away in the southeast, has more than 300 members of the whole clan who have been sentenced to be executed! In the history books, Kangtai's early spring of the 14th year shocked the government and the opposition as the "Double Two Incident"!

It was a good day for the second dragon to raise its head in February, and the folk had the saying that "on the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and everyone made a small household to plough the cattle", and Emperor Kangtai took his children and harem concubines to "drive and plough pro-ploughing".

However, as soon as he came out of Yutian and walked to the palace, there was an 800-mile urgent battle report: a large-scale bandit outbreak broke out on the southeast coast, in addition to the proper prevention of Guangzhou Prefecture, nearly 400 people in three small fishing villages in Zhangzhou Prefecture were slaughtered, and there were no chickens and dogs left where the water bandits passed!

Lan Qiduo was laughing with Emperor Kangtai at this time, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but shake the things in his hand out of his hand!

In the previous life, it was obviously a small fishing village near Guangzhou Mansion that was slaughtered, and the casualties were less than 100, why did it become Zhangzhou Mansion at this time!

However, no one cared about Lan Qiduo's inner activities, Emperor Kangtai hurriedly took the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, and the admiral of the navy stationed in Zhangzhou Mansion even asked for support, it is said that the water bandits are more violent than in previous years, and the local officers and soldiers have been exhausted!

The military situation was urgent, and the fighter plane could not be delayed, so in the afternoon of the same day, the monarch and ministers discussed countermeasures, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed to Zhangzhou Mansion with 20,000 horses day and night!

Hearing that her brother was going to war, Lan Qiduo was stunned for a moment, and before she could recover from what she heard in the morning, reality gave her another blow, and she ran to the East Palace in a bit of a panic, and saw that the crown princess was packing for the prince.

When the prince and his wife saw Lan Qiduo coming, they couldn't help but smile and said, "Lan Lan looks like she is about to cry, but she is worried about being a brother?" ”

"Hmm!"

Unexpectedly, Lan Qiduo was so simple, the prince sighed, pulled Lan Qiduo out of the main hall of the East Palace all the way, and walked to the courtyard before saying: "I don't know when this water bandit will be finished, your imperial sister-in-law is about to give birth, I may not see the child born, you take care of your imperial sister-in-law and nephew for your brother!" He tightened the collar of his cloak for Lan Qiduo: "Father and the emperor are busy with state affairs, you must remember not to force yourself in everything, and when I come back, I will be the master for you!" ”

Lan Qiduo felt a sour nose, and forced back tears and said: "Then brother be careful, I will take care of the imperial sister-in-law and nephew!" ”

Standing on the high tower of the city and watching the team of the army leave, Lan Qiduo was reflecting, it seemed that many things were a little different from his previous life, he could no longer be caught off guard like today, and he was not as calm as the imperial sister-in-law! But she forgot about a person who was far away in Guangzhou Mansion!

At this time, Xiahou Yi ordered people to inspect various ports from time to time, and even organized local villagers to strengthen vigilance in the nearby fishing villages, and did not return to his residence until the second half of the night.

The weather in February, the south is not as dry as the north, but wet and cold, although Xiahou Yi has a servant, there will be no charcoal basin in the room, take a sip of tea, feel the ice seeping, but he didn't say anything, just drank a whole cup of cold water.

It was only then that he had a chance to think about something, and after fighting with the bandits and pirates for almost a day and a night, his mind was still clear, but no amount of clarity could hide the shock he received from the spies at that time!

Since he left Beijing, he didn't take the words of the little princess to heart at all, for the general, he made a decision to kill, he had his own hills and valleys in his heart, and he didn't go through the heart of the little girl's unfounded one-sided words at all.

The reason why the vicinity of Guangzhou Mansion was not slaughtered was also a good habit that Xiahou Yi had cultivated for many years as a general, finding out those obscure corners that were more vulnerable to attack and using them for analysis, arranging troops to take precautions, and conducting strict inspections. But also because of the difference in the geographical environment between the north and the south, the soldiers were not good at water warfare and were caught off guard.

In fact, what the war report said was not entirely true, and the area around Guangzhou Prefecture was not impregnable, and it was not attacked by water bandits at all, but it was too insignificant compared to other places.

Compared with other places, there was no accident in Guangzhou Mansion, and when he heard the news of the Xie family's beheading, the local governor was in a cold sweat, glad that he was not too embarrassed by this group of Dingxi Army, and secretly sighed that he was not subdued by the wealth and silk, and did not have a deal with the water bandits like the Xie family, so that the head of Xiang Shang could be saved. He couldn't wait to enshrine Xiahou Yi's wave of people, and the small casualties of several people were well ignored, and Zhizhou even wrote a recital, which had no shortage of praise for Xiahou Yi.

Xiahou Yi recalled in his ears that the girl sat in the carriage and said calmly: "There are bandits in the southeast every year, but they used to be petty fights, so the sailors sent out are all locals, because they know the actual situation better, although General Xiahou can kill those murderous water bandits at that time, but the local yamen will definitely not want you to stay!" ”

At that time, I only thought it was funny, an innocent princess, I am afraid that it was from the emperor and the crown prince who heard a few words and looked at this matter solemnly, and used it to make a deal with him, in his eyes, it was not easy to play with a child, but now the actual situation is that he has been ruthlessly put into an army, if it is not for the good habits that have been cultivated in the army for many years, I am afraid that the port of Guangzhou Mansion will not be so light as a few casualties!

He pinched the colorful braided rope that was carefully wrapped with a handkerchief by himself, and he had mixed feelings for a while, and he became more and more convinced that Lan Qiduo was not thin on him, from when he was a child when he just returned to the capital to now he arrived at the center of this storm, every time he accepted Lan Qiduo's love, and Lan Qiduo's bad, rough, and fierce face on him was selectively forgotten by Xiahou Yi, and Lan Qiduo was still a kind, cute, and delicate little princess in Xiahou Yi's heart......

But the doubts in his heart still lingered, if the little princess heard about this from His Majesty or the crown prince, so heavy news, why didn't the two most powerful people in Daqi even take any precautions? Even at the end of the thirteenth year of Kangtai, he asked for a transfer to Guangzhou Mansion and His Majesty had no objection?

Looking at the delicate and gorgeous braided rope in front of him, Xiahou Yi once again fell into deep thought......
