Zhang Xiaowu took them to the inn, retreated from everyone, and then asked about their plans, the boy had the ambition to recapture the country, but Zhang Xiaowu said: "Now that the court is balanced inside and outside, you are categorically unable to recapture the country, and the prince's commander of the Qinglong Army was defeated in Saibei, resulting in the separation of many wives and families, and many people in the Qinglong Army hate him to the bone." If you raise an army, the first to crusade against you will be your father's former men, who will fight to the death to prove their loyalty to the new emperor. ”

Cold sweat broke out on the boy's forehead and he asked, "What shall we do?" Will you protect us? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I made a deal with your father to protect you, but I will not support you to regain the throne, after all, the empire can no longer afford that kind of loss - and there is nothing we can do." ”

The boy's face was bitter, obviously he couldn't understand but had to accept the reality, and smiled bitterly, Uncle Huang has become the emperor, and he, the prince who has been protected, has really become a commoner.

"Alas......" the boy said helplessly, "what's your name?" Who is my father? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I am half a friend of your father, my name is Zhang Xiaowu. ”

The two were taken aback and said, "Are you a ghost general?!" ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded.

The boy said excitedly: "You are really a ghost general, did you kill tens of thousands of dogs?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The one who killed tens of thousands of dogs was a ghost guard, not a ghost general." ”

The boy said, "Then are you going to let me go to the Ghost Guard?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "You are not suitable to go to Saibei, your biological father's concubines and children are in Saibei, and there are more men and fewer women in Saibei, your father's concubines arrived in Saibei, and they were married to single soldiers early, and some are even pregnant, I am afraid that you will be angry after seeing them." ”

The boy smiled and said, "I won't be angry if the ghost is wrong, I know that my father is protecting us." As the grandson of the emperor, we have long known that if we want to live, we must hide. My father was all to protect us, so they were sent to the Saibei Chong Army as slaves, and I successfully obtained the reputation of Xiucai. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't think you should give up your fame, you should continue to take the national examination, I will sponsor you to buy another courtyard in Jingshi Longdu, hire servants for you, let you study with peace of mind, and raise people in high school as soon as possible." Your talent should not be underestimated, if you are not loyal to the emperor, you must also serve the people of the world. He looked at the boy's slender figure, shook his head, and said, "You are not a soldier, so you should study." ”

The boy had to agree, but the girl remained silent and unusually quiet.

"What's your real name?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.

The boy said: "Just call me Meng Shi, I don't want to use my real name anymore, the surname Xuanyuan is even more of a curse." He looked at his sister and said, "I am Meng Shi Meng Zifan, she is my sister Meng Ran'er, and I will rely more on the general's support in the future. ”

After a night's rest, everyone immediately left Chechi County, but not long after leaving the county, they encountered several small boats to intercept them. Looting and looting in broad daylight? Ruan Qingwen was also very surprised, saying that Chechi County is under the jurisdiction of Longdu Mansion, there should be no water coars, and the water army is not far from here, so they are not afraid of being wiped out.

Waiting for a few small boats to approach, a big fat man stood at the bow of the boat and said coldly: "I don't know where the dragon who crossed the river came to our Chechi County, and he was not sick in Xiahan, but he was the boss of the boat gang." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I rushed to Beijing to participate in the national examination, passing through Chechi County, and I have never met him, please forgive me." ”

Han Wuxian said: "I don't know, but you kidnapped my fifth brother's concubine, it's your fault." Listen to me and put Meng Ran'er off the boat, I am not to blame for the past. If you want to use some crooked brains, I'm afraid that you have a life and want to live. ”

Although Meng Ran'er was quiet and serene, she had a resolute personality at this time and said: "Phew! I'm not his Han Wujian concubine! Even if I die, I won't be a descendant of your Han family. ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but admire this girl, this pair of children, the personality is much stronger than that of the prince Xuanyuan Zixun, one knows how to advance and retreat, and the other is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, completely avoiding all the shortcomings of Xuanyuan Zixun - they should have inherited the excellent genes of the old palace maid.

Han Wuxi sneered, raised his neck and said, "That's your stupidity, you don't want to think about it, if you leave, can your grandfather live?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu patted his head, turned to Bao Yin and Jia Si and said, Let's go, we really hurt Mr. Meng, it's better to arrest this person and use him to threaten the people of the Han family. When Bao Yin and Jas also heard this, they were immediately excited, and jumped from the boat to Han Wuxi's boat in three or two steps. Han Wuxi's subordinates are all running boats, and they hate them very much, and the general water bandits are not their opponents, but it is a pity that they encounter the most elite ghost guards in the world.

Bao Yin and Jas also shot at people's throats, eyes, hearts and lower bodies, even if they didn't use knives and blades, they were deadly. Three punches and two kicks crippled all Han Wuxi's subordinates to the ground, humming and howling in pain, and even some fell into the water and were too scared to get on the boat.

Han Wuxi was also dumbfounded, what kind of people are this group of people, and why are they so cruel? Today, he is overpowered, and he should let the second brother's subordinates come together. He saw that he couldn't beat the opponent left and right, so he hurriedly shouted: "If you do it to me, you won't be able to get out of Chechi County, tell you, my eldest brother Han is invincible, but ......"

Bao Yin stepped forward and pressed Han Wuxi to the ground, Han Wuxian's mouth was still screaming and threatening, so he only felt a buzz, and his eyes were dark. When he awoke, he found himself tied to an ox cart, which staggered along, and in private was a group of brightly clad soldiers, all dressed in armor and face scarves, looking at him like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Who are you? I...... I was wrong, I was really wrong. "Han Wuzhi is simply neat, he is a man from the rivers and lakes, he has no backbone, he is used to bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard, and these people in front of him are obviously officials who cannot be provoked. If it was an ordinary petty officer, he would not be afraid, but it was obvious that these people were officers who could not be provoked, and they were officers of the elite army.

Wang Yijin stepped forward and smiled: "Didn't you threaten our general?" Why, do you have the courage to threaten the general, but don't have the courage to resist to the end? ”

Han Wuxian said: "You guys first tell me who you are, my eldest brother is a fast catcher in the yamen, maybe you know." ”

Wang Yijin smiled: "We don't have the heart to know each other, but you should have heard of the name of our general." ”

"Is he?"

"Ghost General!"
