After three o'clock in the morning, the old gentleman who went to the study put away his lesson plan, glared at the four princes who had just woken up and were yawning, and then walked out of the study without looking back.

The fifth prince, Li Shangyin, covered his mouth and chuckled, then patted Zhou Budo's shoulder, who was sitting in front of him, and whispered in Zhou Budo's ear

"Don't doubt brother, do you see if the fourth brother just slept like a female cat rolling."

Flutter

Zhou Budo thought of the strange posture of the four princes sleeping beside him just now, and subconsciously couldn't help laughing, which attracted the attention of everyone in the study.

Fortunately, the old gentleman who taught the class had already gone away, otherwise the mere fact that Zhou Budo laughed in class would have been enough for him to go home and be beaten by Zhou Dunyi.

The fourth prince wiped his sleepy eyes with his hand, and then gave a long yawn, stretching, he was easy to get sleepy every time he went to class, just looking at the old man's face, he would suddenly be sleepy all over, obviously he didn't sleep late yesterday, how could he still be so sleepy?

But when he reacted, he saw Li Shangyin, who was making fun of himself, rolled his eyes, made a big grimace, and mocked

"Fifth brother, you have to take care of your meat when you have dinner later, hum, the fourth brother is very hungry when he wakes up this sleep, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not secretly take away any meat such as chicken legs after a while."

Li Shangyin's face darkened when he heard this, the reason why he likes to tease his fourth brother so much is that this fourth brother has always relied on himself to be older than himself, and often robs his own things and playthings, and afterwards, the mother concubine of the two will still favor his fourth brother, saying that he is still young and must know how to be humble, so that he can't do anything about him.

However, today's words, Li Shangyin looked at Zhou Budo, who was thinking about something else.

Is there a suspicious brother here, I'm still afraid that you won't be able to rob me of my chicken legs?

After thinking about all this, Li Shangyin rolled up his sleeves, gestured to the four princes, and replied quite toughly, "Come on, I'm still afraid of you?"

Looking at Li Shangyin, who suddenly didn't know why he was angry, the four princes were stunned for a moment, and then they glanced at Zhou Budo who was still in a daze, and then he came to his senses.

Okay, this kid thinks that there is no doubt here today, and I'm embarrassed to do it, right?

Hey, I'm going to show you today, the name of Li Shangkui, the fourth young master of Jinling, is not blown.

Unlike the princes of the previous generation who were active in the rivers and lakes, none of the princes of this generation of emperors were fuel-efficient lamps, and there were few who had the ability, but they were fooling around.

For example, the eldest prince, as the eldest son of the queen, although his temperament is a little reckless, but his background makes the position of the crown prince simply easy for him, but he went to the frontier to serve in the army without hesitation with the help of his master Bai family a few years ago.

The second and third princes also have their own ideas, and now they are all active in the political arena, and they have each attracted a group of their own customers, and they all seem to have a little covetousness for the position of the crown prince.

When it comes to the four princes and the five princes, the style of painting is different, the fourth prince Li Shangkui, has not paid attention to anything since he was a child, but he is particularly fond of their strange food, for the position of the prince, it seems that he has never thought about it at all, anyway, he is still young, and he has never been out of the cabinet to give the title of king, and it is not a good thing to be involved early at this time, but although it seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but don't think that Li Shangkui is the master who is easy to mess with, this guy is the favorite guy of the princes of Nanli to go out of the palace and wander among the pawns of the peddlers, Regarding Li Shangkui's arrogant and domineering deeds, it was so provoking that the emperor couldn't stand it, and ordered Zhou Dunyi, who was Zongzheng, to confine Li Shangkui several times.

As for the fifth prince Li Shangyin, this master is also a character that the master who went to the study loves and hates, because the birth of this guy makes these masters believe that there is really that kind of genius in this world.

At the age of three, he can pick up a pen, at the age of five, he is familiar with the four books and five classics, and at the age of seven, he can compose poems, and at this age, he has been considered by many young people in Jinling to be a poet immortal, and Li Shangyin himself is also a lover of literature, every half month will pay out of his own pocket to hold a poetry meeting on the waterside of Jinling, and the people who can receive Li Shangyin's invitation to participate in this poetry meeting are all young talents.

As for the remaining princes who are still children, they haven't made any moths yet.

Li Shangyin looked at Zhou Budo, who was in a daze, quietly walked behind him, and suddenly shouted

"Sister Qingtan is here"

Thump

Zhou Budo was almost frightened by this sound and fell to the ground, and then subconsciously hurriedly hid in the corner, looked at Li Shangkui, who was looking at him with some disdain, and gestured to him to be quieter.

Damn, why did Qingtan, the female devil, come here suddenly, she shouldn't be here to beat me, right?

After a while, the expected female devil had not yet appeared, but Li Shangyin's unbridled laughter on the side first reached Zhou Budo's ears.

Zhou Budo immediately reacted that he was being tricked by this guy, and after climbing out of the corner of the table, he stared at Li Shangyin with an angry face, and was about to make a move, only to hear Li Shangyin say first

"Don't doubt brother and slow and slow, I just don't know, why are you also a prince of the palace, why are you afraid of a woman? Hahaha, really, this matter really makes the little brother puzzled."

Accompanied by Li Shangyin's laughter, not long after, Li Shangyin covered his reddened cheeks and looked at Zhou Budo with an aggrieved expression, like a little girl who had been bullied, it was simply funny.

After muttering a few times secretly, Li Shangyin asked Zhou Bu

"Don't doubt brother, can you go with our brothers to taste the food in the palace today? Anyway, didn't you say that Zhou Wangye was not in the house today, just after the three of us finished eating, it would be good to go with me to participate in the little brother's poetry meeting in the evening, don't doubt brother along the way, tell me about the situation when you were bullied by Sister Qingtan at that time, haha"

Saying that, Li Shangyin couldn't help laughing again, unlike just now, this time Zhou Budo looked at Li Shangyin with no anger in his eyes, and there was only pity.

Looking at his younger brother who was still laughing in the dark, Li Shangkui glanced at Qingtan, who was dressed in an official robe not far behind Li Shang's invisibility, and then looked at his younger brother.

Then Li Shangkui and Zhou did not doubt, and the two glanced at each other

Sooner or later, this guy will suffer a catastrophe because of this poor mouth, the two of them thought to themselves.

Li Shangyin, who didn't realize that Qingtan was behind him, was still happy at this time, and he couldn't breathe when he laughed.

It wasn't until he looked at Li Shangkui and Zhou Budo that he didn't look at him with the right eyes, that he seemed to react, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and slowly turned his head to look behind him.

I saw that Qingtan had already picked up Li Shangyin, who had just reacted, with one hand at this time, as if he was carrying a little chicken, with his head down, and that beautiful face was so terrible and terrible in Li Shangyin's eyes at this time.

"What did the fifth prince just say about this?"

Qing Tan's other hand reached out to Li Shangyin's face, pinching his cheek vigorously, and the force that hurt Li Shangyin began to grin.

Li Shangyin's entire body was already hanging in the air at this time, and he looked up at Qingtan with great effort, and said flatteringly

"Sister Qingtan, I just now, I just gave that nonsense, you and you have a lot of adults, don't worry about me as a child, okay?"

"Oh? Is that the case? Could it be that I am behind my ears? ”

After Qingtan finished speaking, he directly threw Li Shangyin out of the door, and then looked at Zhou Budo, and said with some hesitation

"No doubt, you come with me now, I have something to tell you"

Zhou Budo nodded, glanced at Li Shangkui beside him, Li Shangkui pursed his lips and signaled him to be casual.

In this way, Zhou Budo followed behind Qingtan, left and right out of the upper study, and came to a remote and uninhabited corner.

Of course, Zhou Budo was very puzzled at this time, why Qingtan called him to this place, but out of the habit of being beaten by Qingtan, it was better to listen to the words of this female devil.

Qing Tan first took a deep breath, then stared at Zhou Budo with both eyes, and finally took the lead in speaking

"No, do you know where your father has gone today?"

Zhou Budo shook his head and asked puzzled

"Wasn't he called by His Majesty?"

"That's a pretext to the outside world, in fact, your father, that is, King Zhou, he has now set off for Shangzhou."

Zhou Budo's eyes widened suddenly

"He, what is he doing in Shangzhou?"

Qingtan sighed, and glanced at the child in front of her guiltily, in fact, she didn't want to tell this child these things, but her master said that this child has the right to know about it.

"King Zhou was ordered to go to Shangzhou to sort out the army, because a few days ago, Jinyiwei received a tip-off that Dongxun and Xikun seemed to be secretly plotting a big thing, and they were suspected of wanting to leave my south, so after His Majesty discussed with the prime minister and others, he felt that King Zhou was a good choice, so he sent King Zhou to Governor Shangzhou to be responsible for a possible war with Dongxun in the future."

Zhou Budo blinked, even more puzzled in his heart, and said

"Is there anything wrong with that? Could it be that I can't defeat these two countries in the south? ”

What his father looks like, he must be a son, he is very clear, that is a ruthless character who once led an army of 200,000 to repel the coalition forces of all countries, if it weren't for the prestige of the old marshal of the Bai family, I am afraid that his father would have been the honorary marshal of Nanli a long time ago.

However, now Qingtan told himself about this with a sad face, what, is this war very dangerous?

"I'm afraid, for now, I'm at a disadvantage in the south, and.... The garrison of Shangzhou was transferred by His Majesty a few days ago to change more than half of the guard, and so far there has been no timely replenishment of troops, so King Zhou has to temporarily recruit a group of new soldiers to resist the pressure of Dongxun. ”

Qingtan said this, his face was a little ugly, yes, even if Zhou Dunyi led the troops to fight, no matter how good he was, let him bring a group of recruits who were estimated to be unable to even hold weapons to fight with the veterans of Dongxun, it would be good to be able to hold Shangzhou well, and the cards in Zhou Dunyi's hand were too bad.

When Zhou Budo heard this, he still couldn't understand it, and when he thought that his father was facing a huge crisis at this time, Zhou Budo hurriedly asked

"What about me? How can I help? ”

Qingtan stepped forward and stroked Zhou Budo's head, looking at the teenage child in front of her, if she could, she didn't want this child to experience life and death at the age when she should be playing, but these were all named by her master, and she couldn't disobey.

"What you have to do is to follow my senior brother Kumu and the commander of the Zhijin Division, and follow the two of them to Dongxun overnight to spy on intelligence, although I don't know why I want you to be involved as a child in this matter, but I think that arranging you in should also have his old man's intention."

After finishing speaking, Qingtan patted Zhou Budo's shoulder vigorously, took out a delicate small sword from his arms, handed it to Zhou Budo, and said

"This little sword was forged by a blacksmith overnight, and it was given to you, I heard that you have a sword book on you, when you go to the road, just learn it, if you don't understand anything, just ask my senior brother Kumu, and he will give you the answer."
