On the school ground, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition were bare-armed, waving the weapons in their hands again and again, and under the sunlight, you could see drops of crystal Han beads sliding down their faces.

The bronzed skin was already rendered with sweat, but none of them put down the weapons in their hands, and they were still waving them firmly, because that was their faith, and they were ready to go to war at any time.

"Ru'er, come with me." Duan Bailan came to the school field and called away Liu Nianru, who was watching the soldiers train.

Among this group of soldiers, someone glanced at the direction in which Duan Bailan and Liu Nianru left, and that person was Gu Huan, who was also training with these soldiers every day.

Of course, he did not forget his job, and every night he was still in front of the diligent postman, writing down everything that happened here in detail on stationery, and then asking the carrier pigeon to send information to His Majesty the Emperor.

……

Far away in the palace of the Kyoshi.

It has been some days since the great battle that day, and His Majesty the Emperor has also received information, and at this moment, he and General Liu are sitting at the same table.

"General Liu, the current situation is very unfavorable for us." The emperor said that he had temporarily abandoned the plan to assassinate Duan Bailan because of the matter of the Xuaniron Mine, but now, the Northern Expedition Army led by Duan Bailan repelled the barbarian army, which made the people of the Da'an Dynasty very excited, and the people's voice for Duan Bailan was higher, and the emperor's sense of crisis became more and more serious.

Although the victory of this war was a good thing for both the stability of the Da'an Dynasty and the territory of the frontier, in fact, it was a very dangerous thing for His Majesty the Emperor, and it already threatened his position.

Duan Bailan made His Majesty the Emperor feel a very deep sense of crisis, this person must be eliminated.

In fact, the most important thing is that the Xuaniron ore in the Northeast has almost been mined, and for His Majesty the Emperor, Duan Bailan has no practical use.

"Your Majesty, the little girl is still by King Ding's side." General Liu said, he promised the emperor to deal with Duan Bailan together, but for Liu Nianru, no matter what General Liu said, it was still her father.

"Don't worry, don't worry, since I agreed, I will definitely not hurt Liu Nianru." The emperor hooked the corners of his lips, and said so, but what His Majesty the Emperor thought in his heart, then who knows?

"Your Majesty, the army of the Northern Army has joined them, and the next step is for us to send out grain and grass." General Liu nodded and spoke.

"Grain and grass ......," the emperor muttered for a while.

No matter how powerful Duan Bailan is, if there is no food and grass, it will be equivalent to cutting off their back road and putting the Northern Army in an isolated and helpless situation.

"General Liu, who do you think would be better to leave this matter to?" The Emperor looked at General Liu.

General Liu paused, and finally spoke, "Weichen thinks that it is best to leave this matter to the Seventh Prince. ”

"Xiao Heng

？ The Emperor raised his eyebrows, as if he did not expect to get such an answer in the end.

"Yes." General Liu nodded, "The Seventh Prince doesn't like His Royal Highness Dingwang, as long as His Majesty reveals a little news to him, Weichen believes that the Seventh Prince knows what to do." ”

"Hehe......" Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor actually let out an inexplicable laugh, "Then do as General Liu said, I will let Xiao Heng go to you when the time comes." ”

General Liu nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which naturally did not need to be said.

Later, the emperor summoned Xiao Heng into the palace again.

"Son-in-law, see father!" I haven't seen him for many days, and Xiao Heng has been a lot haggard recently.

Since Duan Bailan led his troops to the northeast, Xiao Heng has become thinner and thinner for some reason.

Liu Wanyan is very glorious as the Seventh Imperial Concubine, but Xiao Heng actually doesn't like her, so there is no need to say how Liu Wanyan is doing with Xiao Heng.

"Get up." The emperor glanced at Xiao Heng and told him to get up.

"I have something I want to leave to you."

"Erchen must do his best."

The emperor hooked the corners of his lips and asked Xiao Heng to sit down.

"The salary and rations of the Northern Army, I want you to escort it."

Xiao Heng raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in confusion.

"Xiao Heng, it's okay to go to your father-in-law's place to sit down." The emperor didn't say anything more, just patted Xiao Heng on the shoulder.

Then, the two chatted for a while, and the emperor put Xiao Heng back.

Xiao Heng left the palace and did not return directly to his mansion, but asked people to drive a carriage to the general's mansion.

The emperor's words still have some effect, and Xiao Heng must also have his own considerations.

General's Palace.

"The minister greets His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." General Liu had already heard the news and was waiting at the door.

"General Liu doesn't have to be polite," Xiao Heng smiled and helped General Liu up, "General Liu just call me Xiao Heng." ”

"Okay, Xiao Heng, please come in." General Liu was not polite at all, and spoke directly.

Xiao Heng followed General Liu to the garden, and the small pavilion in the middle had already been set up with tea and pastries, which was exquisite and elegant.

"Please." General Liu made a gesture of please and let Xiao Heng sit down first.

The two sat on the stone bench drinking tea and admiring the flowers, and neither of them spoke, just silent.

"Recently, I heard that the Northeast is very good." In the end, it can only be said that Jiang is still old and spicy, Xiao Heng couldn't help it at first, and sighed.

"yes." General Liu nodded, "Thanks to the little girl's assistance from the side, she made weapons to manage the army, and also helped His Royal Highness King Ding train the Northern Army." ”

Xiao Heng smiled on his face, but his hands hidden in his long sleeves were already clenched into fists.

Why.

Why can he Duan Bailan get Liu Nianru's assistance and get Liu Nianru's heart?

Duan Bailan...... What qualifications does he have!

Liu Nianru...... It was supposed to be his woman!

But now......

General Liu looked at Xiao Heng's performance and knew what the Seventh Prince thought.

…… The two chatted again

Some other topics, after all, Xiao Heng's identity is not only the Seventh Prince, but also Liu Wanyan's Zhang Copy.

"Seven Princes," and finally, General Liu's address to Xiao Heng changed back to the Seventh Prince.

"Then the matter of escorting the military salary, grain and grass, please leave it to the Seven Princes." General Liu got up and bowed to Xiao Heng.

"General Liu doesn't have to be polite, Xiao Heng knows what to do." Xiao Heng hooked the corners of his lips, looking like he was still in a good mood.

General Liu sent Xiao Heng to the gate of the General's Mansion.

"General Liu, come back when you have time." After Xiao Heng finished speaking, he turned around and was about to get into the carriage.
