Until he arrived at the side hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qi You hugged Xibao and sat down first, while Qi Zhe and Jiang Hengkun were still waiting, and Qi You only spoke after he sat down: "Sit down." ”

Qi Zhe did as he liked, so he picked up the position close to Xibao and did it, and Jiang Hengkun could only sit down next to Qi Zhe.

Qi You spoke first: "Jiang Hengkun." ”

Only then was his name called, Jiang Hengkun stood up nervously and said respectfully: "Humble duty!" ”

Qi You smiled and said, "Sit down, don't be nervous, I just want to ask, how did you feel about your trip south?" "Ask some questions first, to ease the atmosphere, a group of adults can't be so embarrassed by a child; Second, I have to give the little woman next to me some time to observe.

Jiang Hengkun heard that this was asking him about his life in the south in the past three years, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you go back to the emperor, this time you have gained a lot from the south, not only have an in-depth understanding of the customs and geography of the south, but also have the opportunity to learn the art of war in the south. ”

Qi You originally wanted to ease the atmosphere and ask a few casual questions, but he didn't expect Jiang Hengkun to answer quite in line with his heart, not humble, not arrogant, not pretentious, but a good one.

Thinking of this, Qi You asked, "I heard from the generals who went south before, you have been injured a few times, what's going on?" ”

Jiang Hengkun was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "This ...... If you go back to the emperor, this is all a relationship between carelessness and inferior skills, it is really humiliating, and ...... lowly duty"

"Hey...... I've heard that you were injured because of your heroism in saving people, what is the situation? "Qi You is interested.

But Qi Zhe on the side was a little confused, this was obviously for the sake of joy, why did the imperial brother ask about Jiang Hengkun's south, Qi Zhe looked at the imperial brother in confusion, but he happened to see Xibao with a serious look. Qi Zhe suddenly understood something, and sighed silently in his heart: The imperial brother is willing to do anything for the sake of his sister-in-law.

Jiang Hengkun also thought that he must have been asked about Huan Yan when he entered the palace this time, but the emperor did not mention anything about the matter between Huan Yan and him, but was quite interested in his injury during his southward trip. This made Jiang Hengkun a little stunned, and then a little relaxed.

Since the emperor wanted to hear it, Jiang Hengkun had no choice but to reply truthfully: "If you go back to the emperor, that time was because of the raid of the Salt Barons Rebellion, and most of the lowly people were from the north. Unable to move the water, so he was caught off guard, and fell into the water one after another, fortunately he went to the south to learn the trick of water, but he barely got out, and a group of dozens of people was left with only the lowly post and a local officer, and the other brothers were captured or captured because of falling into the water, and what was even worse was that the secret order in the army carried by the lowly party was also intercepted together.

The Salt Barons are very arrogant, and the brothers are indeed dying, and they know that if they don't act in time. The result will still be unimaginable, in order to save people and humble duty, can only dive back into the water with the officer, secretly looking for an opportunity to light the grass boat to attract attention, while taking the opportunity to row away the boat with the soldiers, the salt lord saw this and immediately sent someone to chase him, and the lowly duty can only fight to the death, while fighting, while guiding the boat to the place under the jurisdiction of the barracks, this is the solution to the crisis.

But he was slashed several times by the salt lords because of his poor martial arts, and fortunately the reinforcements in the army arrived. This saved several people from the lowly rank, and as for this injury, it is indeed a little unspeakable, firstly, it is a lowly rank and a light enemy, and secondly, it is indeed because the lowly rank is inferior to others. That's why he was seriously injured in this way, but he kept his humble duties in mind for the rest of his life. ”

Qi You had long known about Jiang Hengkun's single-handedly battle against the salt lords, and as soon as it happened, Qi You received a reply from the southbound generals, after all, it was also a major event that alarmed the entire southern military camp. For this reason, the entire southbound military camp immediately ordered the encirclement and suppression of the salt lord bandits who were rampant in the canal area, and the description on their folds was very different from Jiang Hengkun's own description.

The generals of the southbound battle were very appreciative of the bravery of the kid in front of him, but when it came to Jiang Hengkun's mouth, he became very low-key, cautious, and even a little introspective, so Qi You had a little good impression of the kid in front of him.

Qi You was asking Jiang Hengkun about the group of people traveling south, and Xibao looked at it secretly, and listened to his answer by the way, to be honest, Xibao was quite satisfied with Jiang Hengkun's answer, and his eyes softened a little with the eyes that looked at him.

After looking at it for almost a quarter of an hour, Xibao retracted his gaze, for Xibao, I have to say that the young man in front of him can indeed afford to be one in a million, in terms of appearance is indeed handsome and jade, compared to Qi Zhe in this hall, Qi You can not be worse, looking at the bearing is also a steady and humble person, Xu is because of the three years of experience in the south, this child has a kind of stability and ability beyond his age, I don't know why Xibao can always think of his second brother who has been in the northwest for six years at this time, In a trance, she could see her second brother's original appearance from the kid in front of her, maybe because of this relationship, Xibao was pleasing to Jiang Hengkun.

Looking at Xibao from the initial wary look, to the later brows slightly loosened, the corners of his mouth rippled, Qi Zhe knew that this should be almost the same, so Qi Zhe said loudly: "Brother Huang, Jiang Hengkun's south affairs will not be finished for a while, isn't there other things today, you ......"

Before Qi Zhe's words were finished, Qi You smiled and said, "By the way, by the way, I have more important things to ask, to be precise, my concubine wants to ask." ”

After speaking, Qi You turned his head sideways to Xibao and said gently: "This time is okay, right?" ”

Xibao glanced at Qi You and nodded, and Qi You smiled and said, "It's done, then it's time for the concubine to continue." ”

Xibao raised his head slightly and asked, "Jiang Hengkun!" ”

"Humble duty!" As soon as Jiang Hengkun heard that he was going to change the concubine, he immediately became nervous again, he knew that the emperor was okay to say, in fact, the most important thing was that the concubine was here, in the carriage, Qi Zhe had already communicated with him.

Seeing Jiang Hengkun's calm face, Xi Bao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why, I'm so terrible, I need you to be so vigilant?" ”

Jiang Hengkun was stunned, he really didn't know how to answer this, he was indeed more nervous about the concubine sitting in a high position, indeed more nervous than the emperor, and the concubine was not wrong, but this made him not know how to answer, and this anxiety made him even more nervous. As soon as I was nervous, I was a little short of breath, and my face turned red when I was short of breath.

Qi Zhe on the side smiled and said, "Little sister-in-law, you call his name like this." I'm nervous, right? ”

Xibao glanced at Qi Zhe and said, "We still have something to say about you, so don't put yourself in it." ”

Qi Zhe touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then sat on the seat and played with the tea cup in his hand, while Jiang Hengkun, who was standing, thought for a long time before he spoke: "You can also see that this is the first time I have seen you and the emperor. I was a little nervous and overwhelmed, and I didn't know what to say. ”

Jiang Hengkun told the truth, he is indeed a little master of the six gods now, and he came in with a heart of criticism, but it has been half an hour, he didn't say a word about this topic, but it made his heart hang high, and he was not nervous to call it abnormal.

When Xibao heard this, Ying Ying smiled and said: "Just now the emperor said how you can kill the enemy bravely, how can the dignified hero Jiang Xiaowei be so nervous in front of the palace, isn't the palace more powerful than those salt lords?" ”

As soon as Qi You heard Xibao's words, he glanced at her with some disapproval. How can this be easy to say, Xibao pouted and glanced back as if he was threatening, and then continued: "Captain Jiang, you should explain to this palace." ”

Qi You knew that Xibao was playing again, so he looked at Jiang Hengkun, who was standing there a little helplessly, and felt a little sympathetic, he knew that this girl was very bluffing when she joked, he didn't know how many times he was scared, and now it was Jiang Hengkun's turn again.

Qi You was helpless, Qi Zhe was even more helpless, and Jiang Hengkun also knew that he had to reply. And he still has to tell the truth, because when he first saw the concubine Xibao standing next to the emperor, he knew that she was an extremely intelligent and wise woman, and those eyes were so clear that people didn't want to lie and deceive.

Jiang Hengkun was entangled for a long time before he said slowly: "The noble concubine is a noble person, and it really can't be compared with such a salt lord. What's more, as a soldier, you should be brave and fearless when facing the enemy, but in the face of you, the lowly position is indeed a little afraid, not because of you, but because of the lowly duty itself. The concubine Niangniang, the humble post received a message from the fifth prince yesterday, and she knew that she would naturally be questioned when she entered the palace today, and she was already ready, Huanyan The princess and a delicate woman can be so brave, and the humble duty as a man should be more courageous, the emperor! Concubine Niangniang! The lowly has liked the princess Huanyan for a long time, although he had concealed it before, but now he wants to admit it frankly, maybe ...... Maybe ......"

"Maybe Hongu will agree?" Xibao said the last sentence for him.

Jiang Hengkun was stunned for a moment and knelt down on his knees and said: "The humble position does have this idea, the humble duty and the princess Huanyan are happy with each other, although they have not been able to get along day and night before, and because of the humble duty southward travel for three years, the relationship between the humble post and the princess Huanyan is more firm, the humble duty knows that the princess Huanyan is the most cherished treasure of the two of you, and the humble duty also knows that the humble duty naturally can't give the princess Huanyan the honor that only has in the royal family, but the humble duty is willing to love her with this life, take care of him, cherish her, just like the emperor loves the concubine so deeply You, The lowly will use this life to give happiness to Princess Huanyan. ”

In the face of Jiang Hengkun's sudden and somewhat abrupt affectionate style, Xibao frowned slightly, Qi Zhe was a little worried when he saw it, and Qi You gave him an unhindered look, because Qi You knew that Xibao's expression at the moment was just that she was a little disappointed because she couldn't bluff Jiang Hengkun because of the joke, so Qi You gave Qi Zhe a slightly calm look and signaled him to continue looking.

Xibao was really stunned when she heard Jiang Hengkun's sudden turn, but in an instant, she smiled slightly: "You said that you will love and take care of Huanyan, then this palace has to believe it, there are more people who can talk sweetly in the sky, why if they say so, does this palace also have to believe it?" ”

Qi You glanced at Xibao as if to say, don't make fun of him anymore.

Xibao stuck out his tongue at Qi You, blinked his eyes, and looked at Jiang Hengkun with a noble and cold look, as if he was really waiting for his answer.

Jiang Hengkun was a little confused, and couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart: This noble concubine is really as the fifth prince said, sometimes perversely, this sentence is not expected by him.

However, it is precisely because of this that Jiang Hengkun can say more real inner thoughts, instead of the words that have been prepared before. (To be continued.) )
