Tongzhou Wharf ushered in the kings who returned from the patrol, King Huai was the first to arrive, King Ping's team was one day away from him, they met at the Tongzhou Station, King Huai had rested for a day, his spirit was radiant, although the injured arm was hung with a cloth towel, but the whole person looked very good.

King Ping was helped out of the car by the palace people, and the palace people who supported him were so drunk that their faces were crimson, and their steps were a little staggering.

"What's wrong with you?" King Huai frowned and looked at King Ping.

King Ping raised his drunken eyes and glanced at his brother, "Fifth Emperor Brother."

"What are you ......" King Huai pinched the handkerchief and covered his nose, frowning displeasedly.

King Ping laughed, "Brother Five Emperors, forgive me, younger brother, I'm a little dizzy when I'm drunk, so I'll retire first." After speaking, without waiting for King Huai to say something, the palace people helped him away.

"What's the matter with your master? How did you drink like this?" King Huai stopped a eunuch and asked.

The others had already followed King Ping, but the little eunuch, who was about ten years old, was still a little ignorant, so he didn't keep up with everyone's footsteps, and was stopped as a result.

The little eunuch looked up at King Huai, and then at the two eunuchs who stopped and looked back at him, he was terrified, but he still remembered that the masters asked questions, and he couldn't pretend to be dumb.

"Return, return, return, the king's word. Small, small, master, not good, sleep."

So drink to help you sleep? King Huai let go of the little eunuch and calculated in his heart, how long has it been, why is it still not easy to sleep?

King Huai has been held in the palm of his hand by the Queen Mother and Concubine Yang since he was a child, although he is the oldest prince, but he really doesn't have the slightest bit of a brother, and he has to take care of his younger siblings, so after asking, he doesn't know how to deal with it. Turning his head to ask the eunuch beside him.

"What's going on with the eighth? Even an assassin like that can be scared like this?" This seemed to be strange to King Ping, as if it was useless, the little eunuch who had just been caught and questioned and the two eunuchs who stopped to wait for him were all angry when they heard this.

With this kind of brother, their Royal Highness is really pitiful!

King Huai didn't know that his question made King Ping separated from him from then on, he had the imperial doctor to take care of him along the way, and let the Pingzhou prefect send a few servants when he was free. And the beauty sent by the Kishu prefect drinks and has fun. The guards protected him well, and his life could not have been more comfortable.

King Ping's people went to settle down, and King Huai wanted to go over and take a look. Thinking of King Ping's drunken appearance, Huaiwang Aijie, think about it or forget it.

"Let people ask if there's anything good to eat nearby. It's delicious, and it's all delivered! "

"Yes." The palace people left in response. There are few people who are as relieved as their masters!

Several of the master's staff members have been sad all the way, and after returning to the palace, how can they get back to the emperor! His master didn't go to Hainan at all. If the emperor asks about the disaster in Hainan, how will he deal with the past?

King Huai didn't care about this at all, the sky was falling anyway. With the Queen Mother on top, what are you afraid of?

King Ping arrives at Tongzhou Station. In the next morning, King Cheng's convoy also went outside Tongzhou City.

"Lord Wang, Tongzhou City is ahead, should we enter the city?"

King Cheng pondered for a long time, "Let people inquire and see if those princes have arrived in Tongzhou."

After a while, the imperial guard reported that King Huai had arrived the day before, and King Ping had just entered the post station.

"Lord Wang, are we going to wait for His Highness the Ninth and Tenth Highnesses?" The confidant eunuch asked.

King Cheng asked, "Where have they gone?"

"The Nine Highnesses and the Tenth Highnesses entered Jiangning City yesterday." Jiangning City is an ancient city in the south of Tongzhou City, which is about half a day's trip from Tongzhou.

"Let's not enter Tongzhou City first, let's find a place to settle nearby!"

"Yes."

King Cheng also ordered people to pay attention to the Nine Emperor Princes, "Let's meet with His Royal Highness the Nine, and then enter Tongzhou together."

"Got it."

The attendants promised in unison, and King Cheng's motorcade stopped in a small town outside Tongzhou.

The Nine Emperors and the Ten Princes are two of similar ages, one is a queen, one is from Concubine Lan, since childhood, the relationship is good, this time out on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol, it was a very new thing for them, but they didn't expect to encounter assassination, the assassins were menacing, so that the two pampered princes were frightened a lot, after meeting in Jiangning City, they told each other their experiences, the more they talked, the more energetic, at this time when they talked about the thrilling experience at that time, they were a little unable to talk.

It was still a few grandmothers who came up to persuade them, and then they hastily rested.

The Nine Emperor Princes put their hands on the shoulders of the Ten Princes, "Fortunately, the father of our Sixth Emperor Sister-in-law is reliable in the manpower given to us, otherwise it would be us who lie down and go back today."

The tenth prince had a handsome and childish face, and he raised his head and smiled when he heard the words, "Brother Jiu is really so powerful when I am my brother-in-law?"

"Or else? You didn't see it! As soon as those assassins appeared, their crossbows were already on target, and I hadn't even reacted yet! Those Assassins had already been shot with crossbow arrows."

The Tenth Prince couldn't help but smile when he saw his ninth brother making a serious gesture. Brother Jiu, the ones with crossbows were transferred from Beijing by my father to protect you! "

"Huh? How do you know?" The eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes sparkled slightly.

Under the dim light, the ten princes smiled brightly, "Yao Du commanded the soldiers around him to be good at crossbows, since he entered Beijing, he has not led troops, where did his people get crossbows, you just said, those people are masters of crossbows!" Except for Jingying, where can you use crossbow masters."

The Nine Emperors asked, "Is it really the people from the Beijing camp that my father transferred to protect us?"

"Well, I don't know if the Fifth Emperor Brother and the Seventh Emperor Brother are there?" The Ten Princes rubbed their chin and said

[,！ The Nine Emperor Princes pondered for a long time, "Probably not! You have forgotten that the foreign family of the Fifth Emperor Brother and the Eighth Emperor Brother is the Yang family, and the Yang family must have sent a family general to protect it, and the father-in-law of the Seventh Emperor Brother is the protector of the country, and their family will be no worse than the Yang family."

The Tenth Emperor nodded, "What the Ninth Brother said is that it's just that the generals of the two of their families are like this, how could it be that the Fifth Emperor Brother was injured, and the Eighth Emperor Brother died like this?"

Uh, this one! The Nine Emperor Princes shook their heads, "How do I know! "

Thinking that King An was dead, the love between the two and a half sons was lowered, and the grandmothers hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded the two to hurry up and go back to the room to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, the royal guards waited for the two princes to set off, and they came to the city of Tongzhou not far away, and they saw King Cheng's people and went to the small city where King Cheng rested.

King Cheng carefully looked at his younger brothers who had been separated for several months from top to bottom before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay for you guys to be fine."

"What can we do! They protected us, and we couldn't go there! "I can finally complain to someone, the Nine Emperors unceremoniously complained to King Cheng.

The Ten Princes also said, "Because there are assassins who are causing trouble, don't say that they won't let us look around, even the magistrates along the road won't let us look around."

King Cheng smiled and comforted them a few words, then asked, "Hasn't the eleventh emperor brother arrived yet?"

"The eleventh emperor seems to have been staying in Kishu all the time! I heard from them that the Kishu Cui family was very hospitable to him."

King Cheng sank his face slightly, ordered people to wait for the two princes to wash, and turned his head to explain to the people: "Go and see if His Highness Eleventh can go back."

"His Royal Highness Eleventh is still in Kizhou, I heard that he is with the daughter of the Cui family, and in the past two months, he has lived in the Cui family."

King Cheng sneered, "I remember that except for Cui Shiming, who is an official in the fourth room, everyone else has no official status?"

"Yes, but the Cui family is a century-old family in Kizhou, and Cui Shilang is a concubine, I heard that before he came out, he was suppressed by the concubine."

The staff around King Cheng shook their heads and sighed, "Cui Shilang is also rare, his mother is filial, even if the elders make things difficult everywhere, he will obediently accept it."

"I remember that he had a young son who was studying at Guangling Academy."

"Yes, Cui Sangongzi went to the second class seventy-six in the scientific examination, and now he is the parent official of Shancheng County, Ningzhou."

King Cheng bowed his head, "What about Cui Sangongzi's brother?" Also in the court?"

"No, the children born by Cui Shilang are close to the concubine, but they are not close to Cui Shilang and his wife, and the eldest son and the second son are only children."

Oh? Half-brother, younger brother high school jinshi, as a local parent official, but the brothers are still only children?

"Go and find out, see that the Cui family girl has such a good wrist that His Royal Highness Eleventh didn't even pay attention to the death of his own brother."

The guards took the order and left.

When the guards left, a staff member said hesitantly, "The student remembers that this Cui family was in collusion with that pirate named Gu Sihai at the beginning."

King Cheng nodded, "How can the family be so lightly destroyed."

The eleventh prince stayed in Kishu and did not move, and King Cheng repaired the town for two days, and then set off into Tongzhou City.

When they entered the palace to resume their lives, King Huai was still lying on the high bed in the post station, and King Ping slept all night with a wine jar.

When he learned that King Cheng and his children had entered the palace to resume their lives, King Huai jumped to his feet in anger, "This cunning guy, they didn't go to Tongzhou to rest?"

"No, I heard that King Cheng and they entered Tongzhou City before dawn, Yi Cheng received the news, and waited until the third pole of the day, but no one was seen, and sent someone to inquire, only to know that after they entered Tongzhou, they entered Beijing and entered the palace directly without stopping." The eunuch who replied lowered his head and shook his head secretly.

"The three of them together?"

"Yes." Originally, King Huai was the first to come back, and they were robbed into the palace by King Cheng, so that King Huai could not complain.

If the emperor knew that they had returned to Tongzhou a long time ago, but they had not moved, would it make the emperor think that His Royal Highness King Huai was deliberately delaying?

"Don't worry, you still have a wound on your arm! It's normal to have a tiring journey in Tongzhou for a few days, and the emperor will not blame you."

It seems to make some sense! King Huai touched his chin, and the staff said: "Prince An has passed away, but until now, His Highness Eleventh has not seen anyone!"

Even if they enter the palace tomorrow, they will definitely be ahead of the eleventh prince.

It's just that they forgot a very important thing, the kings went out of Beijing to patrol for the emperor, and King Huai, who didn't do anything right, was thinking about entering the palace to resume his life, but he forgot how to restore his life when the time came!

King Ping also got the news, he didn't care about the order of entering the palace at all, on the contrary, he would rather not be the first, knowing that King Cheng and they entered the palace, he held his head and ordered everyone, "Clean up, let's go to the palace immediately!" (To be continued)
