"There is the sound of horses' hooves!"

Liao Fan looked into the distance, and said to Qin Hong beside him with some excitement, this should be His Royal Highness the Prince, and Liao Fan naturally became excited.

Qin Hong didn't care about this, he was also young, and he had been in the officialdom for so many years, of course he knew Liao Fan's thoughts. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming, which is not only an opportunity for Liao Fan to meet an idol, but also an opportunity. If you do it well and can be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, wouldn't it be a success?

Qin Hong thinks that Liao Fan is a good person, the official has done his best, and at his age, he likes to promote his juniors.

Of course, this younger generation does not want to get anything in return, and he has not lived for a few years, but I just hope that I will not bury the talents, and I hope that I can make the best use of talents.

For Liao Fan, Qin Hong is still very optimistic, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he does not complain in the northwest border, he is a very good official, and he can recommend it to His Royal Highness the Prince. However, Qin Hong also knew that he still had to give him a chance to show his face first. While Qin Hong was thinking about how to let Liao Fan behave like this, the horse team on the ground had already come closer.

These men were dressed simply, with a simple cuirass up to the lower abdomen, a kneeplate at the knees, and a helmet on top of their heads.

This kind of equipment looks very simple, but Qin Hong is at the border pass, and he is also a battlefield general, and he also knows a lot about armor and weapons. This armor looks very rudimentary, but at a glance, it is all good steel, and the protection is very strong. Although there are many places where there is no armor, it is not a lethal place.

There is also armor at the joints, plus the cuirass and helmets, but in fact, they are far less lethal than they seem.

They all carried crossbows diagonally on their backs, bows on their right sides, swords with short-handled meteor hammers, and even each of them had different equipment. The armor and sabre are the same, and the others are more or less different. At a glance, you can see that these people are scouts, looking at the tendon meat on their bodies, the sturdy horses under their crotches, and the exquisite riding skills, you can know at a glance that these are elite scouts.

After the leader came here, he directly turned over and dismounted, hugged his fists at Qin Hong and Liao Fan, and then said loudly: "The Black Dragon Army scout guards Baihu Qi Fu has seen Lord Qin, Lord Liao!" ”

Qin Hong looked at the red-faced man in front of him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Excuse me!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" After Qi Fu agreed, he stood up straight, and then spoke: "I have obeyed the imperial order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is camped outside the city with the army, so I will not enter Guyuan City. All of them were canceled. If you want to meet you, you can go to the barracks, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summons you. ”

Listening to Qi Fu's words, everyone was stunned, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this?

"In order not to let your lords wait, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially sent a lowly post to spread the word." Qi Fu didn't care about the attitude of these officials, and finished what he was going to say: "Now that the word has been passed on, I will resign from my humble position." After saying this, he bowed to Qin Hong and the others, then turned around and got on the horse and rode away.

Qin Hong laughed first, and Liao Fan beside him was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Looking around, Qin Hong sighed lightly, and then said to Liao Fan beside him with some emotion: "Do you know where this official and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince met three years ago?" ”

Liao Fan was blessed to his heart, and said with a smile: "Is it also in the barracks?" ”

"yes!" Qin Hong nodded, and said with a smile: "Three years ago, the old man received the holy decree of the imperial court, the northwest was newly defeated, and the imperial court wanted to let the official go to the northwest to preside over the overall situation, the old man traveled day and night, and when he walked through the capital, he heard someone say that His Royal Highness the prince had led the troops to the expedition, with 5,000 men and horses, and it would really frighten the official at that time." ”

"Once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has few mistakes, who will take care of it? So the official hurried faster, and finally caught up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before reaching Guyuan. ”

"The official remembers very well, it was one night, and the scouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even detected the identity of the official, I didn't think much about it at the time, but now I think about it, it's really suspicious." Qin Hong was even more emotional when he said this, smiled self-deprecatingly, and continued: "This official allows himself to know the soldiers, but the people who are traveling with him don't know if they are scratched by His Royal Highness the Prince's people. ”

"After entering the camp of His Royal Highness the Prince, I found out when I counted the number of people, I was ashamed at the time, and at the same time, I also took a fresh look at the soldiers brought by His Royal Highness the Prince. At that time, the soldiers trained by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were really disciplined and majestic. I originally thought that I would have to wait to see him this time, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to still not leave the barracks, it's good, and the official will take you to see it today. ”

Saying that, Qin Hong strode over like a carriage parked on one side, his face was actually a little excited, and he was also a lot more energetic when he walked, which was quite a bit tiger-like.

Hearing Qin Hong's words, Liao Fan naturally became interested, and followed with a smile, he also wanted to see what Qin Hong said about the majestic and mighty army, and this was also an opportunity to get close to His Royal Highness the Prince, how could he miss it?

In the camp of the army, Zhu Houzhao is patrolling the camp with Wang Shouren, in fact, Zhu Houzhao's behavior is more symbolic, showing that he is with the soldiers, and it has little effect other than that. First, the Black Dragon Army is highly disciplined, and everything is done in an orderly manner from top to bottom, even if there is no existence of His Royal Highness Zhu Houzhao, the crown prince, there will be no delay.

Second, Wang Shouren is staring here, Zhu Houzhao is really useless, in fact, both Zhu Houzhao and the Black Dragon Army know that although His Royal Highness the Prince is nominally in charge, but in fact, Wang Shouren is in charge of the specific matters, and this is indeed the general of the Black Dragon Army who has impressed with his strength and personality, so Zhu Houzhao is not there, and it is not a big problem.

Of course, now that the expedition is away, it is normal for Zhu Houzhao to care about it, and the meaning expressed is that this prince is with you.

In fact, in the hearts of the soldiers, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince important? The answer is very important, what is the importance? With His Royal Highness the Prince, eat well, with His Royal Highness the Prince, the salary is high, and there is no deduction, with His Royal Highness the Prince, meritorious service will be rewarded, and it is a heavy reward, for the soldiers, this is enough, especially the sons and nephews of the first batch of meritorious soldiers of the Black Dragon Army are about to graduate from the martial arts academy recently.

The desire for meritorious service is even higher, and at the same time, the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even higher, so Zhu Houzhao walked in the camp, and there were excited shouts of "See His Royal Highness the Prince" everywhere.
