Early in the morning, the crown prince Ling Luotian summoned the Guiyi army and the soldiers of Zhuti County under Zhang Jian's command, and immediately issued rewards.

When the soldiers of the Guiyi Army heard the decree yesterday, they knew that not only had the generals who led them promoted, but they had also been rewarded twice as much for their bravery.

Seeing boxes of yellow and clear gold and copper coins being taken out, the soldiers pushed away the obstruction of the Imperial Forest Army, and they all rushed forward like crazy, and took the gold and copper coins and swayed them.

Although the Guiyi Army is like the Shengjie Army under Bai Wuye, it belongs to Zhao Wutang's personal army, and is only loyal to Zhao Wutang alone. For so many years, they followed Zhao Wutang from birth to death, fighting bloodily, not because of the empire, but completely because of Zhao Wutang's personal charm.

But even so, it can't erase their most primitive identity - people. People have seven emotions and six desires, so much money is in front of you, who is not excited, how many people in the world can achieve the level of a saint!

Seeing that the soldiers under his command were swaying the rewards given to them to the fullest, Zhao Wutang did not stop them. These soldiers have followed him for many years, and this is the first time they have seen so much money, and their excitement is right. What's more, they need venting in their hearts, and they also need comfort. These rewards are officially the most appropriate vents and comforters.

In addition to handing out rewards, Prince Ling Luotian and Zhao Wutang also set their itinerary in the future.

Ling Luotian's original plan was to start from Yi County, first pacify Yuewang County, followed by Yizhou County and Zhuti County, and finally Qike County. But because of the captivity, he also had to change his itinerary. He planned to send an envoy back to Chengdu today to report the capture to his father, and wait until the specific disposition was made.

And Zhao Wutang was originally here to greet the new local officials according to Wei Kai's military order, and then waited for Wei Kai to lead the army to return, and then escorted the prisoners and returned to Chengdu after meeting Wei Kai's deputy general in Yixian. Now, as soon as this prince comes, all the plans are messed up, and the most fatal thing is the problem of this captive, they are gone, what will happen to these captives.

Now, as soon as the two of them put it together, they found that everyone wanted to solve the problem of the captivity. That's good, according to Ling Luotian's plan, send the envoy back to Chengdu first, and they will wait here, and wait for Ling Luotian's envoy to come back before deciding what to do.

Just as they had discussed everything and were about to send their envoys, there was a noise at the gate of the camp.

A soldier guarding the door ran in: "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Zhao, there is a group of people outside the door who have asked to see General Zhang Jianzhang!" ”

Zhang Jian, who was following them, heard that when he saw me, there was only the gift-giving team of Lord Taishou, and it should have come to calculate the day.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it should be that they have arrived!" Zhang Jian stood beside Ling Luotian and hugged his fists.

Ling Luotian nodded, Zhang Jian told him last night that Lu Taishou had collected some precious animal skins from Zhu Ti County to be presented to the important ministers of the imperial court to buy people's hearts.

It seems that this is the team of Lu Taishou who gave gifts to the Lushui camp.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Under the leadership of Ling Luotian, everyone came to the camp gate. I saw an old man and two servants driving a carriage with three tattered chests, and some straw around them, which seemed to be for people to sleep on.

As soon as he saw everyone walking out, the old man walked up and saluted Zhao Wutang, Zhang Jian and the others: "The old steward of the Taishou Mansion has seen General Zhao, Zhang Duwei and the generals!" ”

Zhang Jian "ahh It's not that he is dissatisfied with the housekeeper calling him Zhang Duwei, it's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is standing here wearing a golden helmet and armor, and this old man saluted himself and General Zhao first, but did not salute the prince, is it a little too blind. Although those who don't know are not guilty, but in case His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unhappy, this crime of contempt for the Prince is not something that anyone can bear.

As soon as the housekeeper heard Zhang Jian's words, his eyes suddenly magnified several times in fright, his feet trembled, and he immediately knelt down towards Ling Luotian: "The old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that the prince has arrived, it's really a capital crime, a capital crime!" ”

When the two servants behind the old butler saw the old butler kneeling down towards the young general in the golden helmet and armor, and called him the crown prince, they immediately fell to the ground in fright, trembling all over.

"The old butler is exempt, the two are exempt, let's hurry up! The so-called ignorant are not guilty, this prince did not reveal his identity, you don't need to be so alarmed! ”

Although Ling Luotian said to let them get up, the old butler and the two servants still lay on the ground, for fear that Ling Luotian would be unhappy and behead them!

Zhang Jian looked at the old housekeeper's appearance, and helplessly helped him up: "The prince asks you to get up, you get up!" With Zhang Jian's support, the old housekeeper stood up tremblingly. When the old butler stood up, the two servants were bold enough to stand up.

The scene in front of him made Rocky and the others wonder, what is the situation, who is this old man, how can he be here? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously hadn't seen this old man, so why did he know what was going on?

Zhao Wutang saw that Luo Qi and them were like this, so he explained. After listening to Zhao Wutang's explanation, they suddenly realized what was happening in front of them. Although Rocky wanted to know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knew about this, seeing the scene in front of him and Ling Luotian's heart, this curiosity was suppressed.

"Old butler, can you show me what's in these two boxes?"

Looking at Ling Luotian and his pleasant appearance, how could the old butler refuse, and immediately commanded the two servants to open the box: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please look!" ”

The moment the two boxes were opened, Ling Luotian and the others all widened their eyes in disbelief. Inside the tattered box, it was really as Zhang Jian said, containing the incomparably gorgeous animal skin.

Ling Luotian walked up, and involuntarily picked up the animal skin and touched it. Gorgeous color, soft feel, this animal skin is really a treasure! No wonder Lu Mao wanted to give this animal skin to those ministers, even the prince was moved, not to mention those wine bags and rice bags!

Seeing Ling Luotian's flickering gaze, Rocky knew what was going on in his mind. Then he walked to the old housekeeper and asked, "Old housekeeper, do you have any name for you as a gift?" ”

"This is ......" Looking at this middle-aged man in a black official robe, with a medium stature and a flowing beard, the old housekeeper was puzzled again, who is this?

"This is the Imperial Doctor!" Zhang Jian said at the right time.

Hearing that it was the Imperial Doctor, the old butler was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down again, but he never wanted to be caught by Rocky: "The old butler doesn't have to be like this, just answer the official's question." ”

"Yes, yes! My family did give me a name! With that, he pulled it out of his sleeve and handed it to Rocky.

On the name post, the name of Lodge, one of the three princes, is impressively listed.

"Did your Taishou tell you which animal skins were given to which adults?"

"Yes, yes, the adults are all divided!"

"Okay, then please ask the butler to bring me the one given to me!"

"Yes!" The old butler gestured to one of the servants behind him, who nodded, and quickly retrieved the hides for Rocky from the chest.

"My lord, this is for you!" The old butler held the hide in both hands and handed it to Rocky.

Rocky's eyes lit up when he looked at the hide, it was an intact white tiger skin, the color and feel were of the highest quality. The ministers in the court and the central government all said that Lu Mao was a strong donkey, but he was not tough, but he could do things better than anyone else.

Luo Qi walked to Ling Luotian's side with this animal skin in his hand and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't dislike it, this white tiger skin will be given to His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

The white tiger skin in Rocky's hand, Ling Luotian could see at a glance, it was by no means the same level as the one in his hand, compared to the animal skin in his hand, the white tiger skin in Rocky's hand did not know how many times better.

"This, this is what Lu Taishou gave to you, Lord Luo, how can this prince be a good subordinate?" Ling Luotian wanted it very, very much in his heart, but after all, he still had to maintain his demeanor as a virtuous prince.

"Xia Guan is not too interested in these, and you also know the background of Xia Guan, and the knowledge of Xia Guan does not understand the quality of this white tiger skin. This thing should still be in the hands of people who understand, in order to reflect the real value, in the hands of the lower officials, it is really a waste! ”

"Alas, this is really inappropriate, Lord Luo don't say it again!"

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please be sure to accept it!"

……

After three pushes and three sends, Ling Luotian still accepted the white tiger skin "reluctantly". Touching the white tiger skin, Ling Luotian showed an expression of enjoyment.

Mo Feng looked at this scene and laughed unconsciously. The environment in which a person grows up and the people he comes into contact with have an immeasurable impact on a person's life. No matter how virtuous Ling Luotian was, the inferiority in the deepest part of his heart was still manifested without omission at this moment.

In an instant, Ling Luotian returned to his original state and said to Lu Mao's butler, "Old butler, you will rest in this camp for a day today. Tomorrow, my envoy will also go to Chengdu, and I will have a few guards escort you there. ”

Ling Luotian's words have been said very clearly, the envoy postponed for a day, and tomorrow he will go to Chengdu with the gift-giving team of Zhuti County.

"No!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

The messenger and the old butler, who were already preparing to leave, replied in unison.

"Alright, in that case, let's all go back!"

"No!"

Ling Tianmu was in such a hurry to let everyone disperse, it was nothing more than to go back to the camp to have a good experience of Bai Wupi. Clear-eyed people knew his thoughts, and they dispersed.

The soldiers happily returned to the camp with their rewards, and the old housekeeper and his party were also properly arranged by Zhang Jian into his camp.

And the officers of the forward battalion were once again summoned together by Mo Feng, and they thought that Mo Feng was going to hold a military meeting again. However, what they didn't expect was that they guessed the first half, but not the second half.
