After the queen's funeral, Shen Leng began to prepare to leave Chang'an, and calculated that the patrol division had already entered Liaobei Province, so Shen Leng could only take his own soldiers to catch up by land, and if the speed was fast enough, he could also meet with the sailor at the warehouse dock of the Northern Xinjiang Waterway.

Shen Leng hurried back from Qiu Li and didn't bring a few people with him, but the speed would be faster when there were fewer people, he just didn't expect that there would be more people when he finally came out of Chang'an.

In the palace of Concubine Zhen.

Shen Leng squatted at the feet of the tea master and hugged her legs, like a child who was about to be sent to the primary school hall but was unwilling to hold the legs of the adults in the family.

The tea master rubbed the head of the stupid lengzi: "The wind and snow in the north are strong, I sewed a new robe for you, thick, to keep out the cold, you try?" ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Mm-hmm, try it." ”

The tea master turned around and went to the cabinet to take out the newly sewn robe and handed it to Shen Leng: "Don't laugh at my ugly sewing." ”

Shen Leng: "How come, it's not that I'm uninformed." ”

The tea master smiled, and then he realized that Shen Leng's words were not beaten.

Shen Leng buttoned up his new clothes, and then was stunned for a moment.

"Master?"

"Huh?"

"Generally, the buttons and openings are symmetrical, why does this garment have six openings and seven buttonholes?"

The tea master's face was slightly red: "Every button should have the right to choose freely, one more choice, one more button." ”

Shen Leng: "That makes sense. ”

Tea Master snorted: "In order to show the difference of this dress, I deliberately made a very delicate design, the buttons are not exactly the same, one big and one small, it looks staggered, the first one is a big button, the second is a small button, the third is a big button, and the fourth is a small button, doesn't it look very chic?" ”

Shen Leng: "Quite chic. ”

The tea master was proud.

Shen Leng: "Big brother, the first one is a big button, right?" ”

"That's right."

"Then why on the other side, there is a small buttonhole corresponding to the first big button? And the second small button corresponds to the big buttonhole? Big brother, don't you plan to let me tie my clothes, thinking of what you said just now that the northern Xinjiang was snowy, this is obviously an evil idea of murdering my husband. ”

Tea Master: "......"

She took her clothes over and gestured at them, and it was.

Then she suddenly thought, "Wouldn't it be right to wear the clothes in reverse?" ”

Shen Leng covered his face: "In the future, let Concubine Zhen take more of our children, and try not to interfere in education." ”

Tea Master: "......"

Shen Leng put the clothes up: "I'll just change it myself." ”

Tea Master: "It's easy to change, you sew a little bit of the big buttonhole, and open the small buttonhole a little more." ”

Shen Leng: "Why don't you change the position of the button......"

The tea master paused for a moment: "I will let Concubine Zhen bring more in the future, don't worry!" ”

Shen Leng: "Work hard!" ”

Tea Master: "Get out of ......"

Shen Leng: "Okay. ”

He put the package on his back, walked out a few steps and ran back, hugged the tea master and kissed it vigorously, smashed it, smashed it, and ignored so many palace maids in Concubine Zhen's palace stared at the two of them with wide eyes and opened their mouths, and hugged them again.

"It may take a long time to go out this time, and you will live in Concubine Zhen's Palace, and the house will be deserted."

The tea master nodded: "You are a big hero, just go out casually and come back after you finish what Your Majesty has explained." ”

Shen Leng: "Don't worry." ”

After finishing speaking, he left Concubine Zhen's bedroom, and then went to Dongnuan Pavilion, where His Majesty was still waiting for him.

What Shen Leng didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also there, the plain white prince looked a little haggard, but when he saw Shen Leng, he smiled kindly, Shen Leng hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and the prince walked over quickly to support Shen Leng's arm: "General Shen don't want to be so polite, my father said that General Shen is the pillar of Daning and the pillar of the imperial court, and he has long wanted to meet General Shen, but he has not been able to meet him." ”

He looked at Shen Leng's eyes and said: "General Shen is careful all the way to Northern Xinjiang, the black warriors are scheming, and the Bohai people are sinister and cunning. ”

Shen Leng leaned over: "Your Highness, when you return to Chang'an, you will pay a visit to Your Highness." ”

"That's good, you have to come."

The crown prince turned around and bowed to the emperor: "The son of the minister retires." ”

The emperor nodded: "You are also tired these days, go back and rest." ”

The prince lowered his head and snorted, turned around and left the Dongnuan Pavilion.

The emperor just sat there looking at the prince's face and looked at Shen Leng's face, the prince showed kindness and kindness, and Shen Leng showed humility and courtesy, which made the emperor feel more comfortable, and he pointed to the stool opposite: "Sit down, I have a few words to explain to you." ”

Shen Leng sat down with his buttocks: "Please command, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor said while looking through the folds: "I have officially sent a reply to the Black Warrior Khan Emperor Sambrü, calculating the days, it always takes half a year to go back and forth, you have to go to the north for two months, and then wait in the north of Xinjiang, but the sailor should run how it should be, and it is better not to let the black military envoy see the sailor, and it is enough to leave a few ships for use." ”

"I understand."

"Heiwu Khan Emperor Samburu's sister is called Kuo Kedi Qinse, there are rumors that she has fled to the northern Xinjiang, maybe it is over there in Xifengkou, Meng Changan has left Xifengkou and returned to Baishan Pass, you have been in Northern Xinjiang for a few months to wait for the delegation of the Heiwu Kingdom, so you can go to Baishan Pass, you and Meng Changan may not have seen each other for a long time, it is good to go and meet, by the way, check the whereabouts of Kuo Kedi Qinse."

"Remember."

"After the envoys of the Heiwu Kingdom come this time, I will also consider arranging for someone to go to Heiwu to have a look, are you interested in going?"

Shen Leng was stunned, this shouldn't be his turn, even if he wants to arrange someone to visit Heiwu and have a representative of the military, it shouldn't be him, the commander of the sea patrol division, there are so many people in the northern Xinjiang, and so many people in the military department.

"I really want to go and see it."

"There's no urgency here, you go to Northern Xinjiang first."

The emperor asked: "The matter of the bearded man building a crossbow array car has also begun to bear fruit, and the few planes that have been built are indeed amazingly powerful, I have already seen it, you go to the military department before you leave Chang'an, and see if there is anything that needs to be improved, if you think it is available, you will take two and send them to the north to hand them over to Wu Xinyu, arrange for the border soldiers to rotate and practice with familiar control, remember to keep it secret, and never let the black warriors find out." ”

"I understand."

"I have already arranged in advance for the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to go to Northern Xinjiang, and the site in Hanhai City will be selected to build a martial arts workshop, and the bearded man will go to Northern Xinjiang with you, and if the crossbow array is perfect, it will be built in Hanhai City."

The emperor said so much in one breath, took a sip of tea and slowed down: "You don't have to worry about Cha'er and the children, I have explained, they live in the palace, don't go back to your general's mansion first, Concubine Zhen likes those two children, I like them very much, I also feel cute when I look at them." ”

Shen sneered: "The cuteness is mainly due to the fact that there are more followers." ”

Emperor: "......"

He glanced at Shen Leng and continued: "Ye Yun is scattered in the northern frontier, you can meet him more, and he knows more about the things that are wide and invincible. ”

"The ministers have written it down."

"You rushed back from Qiuli in southern Xinjiang this time without a few personal soldiers with you, and you had to escort the crossbow array car when you went north, so I asked the forbidden army to assign a group of people to follow, and Xiahouzhi came back and will go with you."

"General Xiahou is back?"

Shen Leng was overjoyed.

Xia Houzhi came back, which means that things on the grassland have been settled.

"Xiahou Zhi took 10,000 forbidden troops to fight a few battles on the grassland, and it was quite smooth, and the few little Aijin who secretly wanted to kill Yun Sangduo were removed, but the environment on the snow mountain side was harsh and difficult to enter, so it was not easy to find the hiding place of the ancient Mongolian people, I ordered him to come back because he was bent on going to Northern Xinjiang to make contributions, you are all young people, you can also talk more along the way, learn more from each other, it will definitely be beneficial."

The emperor said it lightly, but Shen Leng thought about it and knew that Xiahou Zhi's battles must not be so easy and simple, if it was so simple to defeat the grassland cavalry on the grassland, Chu would not have fought so tragically in the northern expedition to the grassland, when Chu had the first battle of the northern expedition to the grassland, the 200,000 army lost half of the battle, but fortunately, the vitality of the grassland people was greatly damaged in this battle.

In the next few years, the Chu army continued to transfer northward, filling in the big pit with human lives, and it took five years to conquer the grassland, in order to exchange for this inexhaustible horse farm, a total of 150,000 Chu troops died in the sea of grass, but fortunately, with the Chu before this reckless conquest, Daning will seem to be smoother when he takes over the grassland.

This time, Xiahouzhi only went with 10,000 cavalry of the forbidden army, although the forbidden army was elite, but he had no actual combat experience.

Xiahouzhi's ability can be seen.

There are also many talents in the forbidden army, in addition to Xiahouzhi, the younger Shantai grass field has been impressive, some people assert that the next time the army competition, the Shantai grass will definitely shine.

This is Daning, a military general of Wenchen and a lot of talents.

Shen Leng left Weiyang Palace and went directly to the military department to get the transfer order, and then rushed to the forbidden army camp to pick up the beard.

has not yet left Chang'an, and has been busy for most of the day.

When I arrived at the camp of the forbidden army, I first went to meet the general Yuanshu, and inquired and learned that the general was practicing in the small school field behind, Shen Leng was already familiar with this, so he looked for it directly, and he was far away to see the general fighting with the young man called Shantai Caoye, the young man had a good basis for advancing and retreating, although he fell behind, but there were not many defeats, and there were occasional counterattacks, which were extremely sharp.

Shen Leng stood aside and watched for a while, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, Yutai Caoye was three or four years younger than him, thinking about it, if he fought with the general at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was afraid that he would be beaten.

"Your Majesty has already explained."

After Yuan Shu withdrew his hand, he saw Shen Leng standing in the distance, and came over with a smile: "The bearded man has already packed up and saluted, just waiting for you to pick him up, in addition to this person, I have one more thing for you." ”

Yuan Shu turned around and instructed his soldiers: "Go and get the gift I prepared for General Shen, and take another one as well." ”

The pro-soldiers hurriedly ran out, and after a while, they came back with a long wooden box, which looked full of weight, and there were two pro-soldiers carrying a box behind them.

Yuan Shu took the wooden box and handed it to Shen Leng: "I know that your archery skills are good, but you haven't had a bow to take advantage of, I asked the Chang'an City Martial Arts Workshop to refine an iron tire bow, it is difficult for ordinary generals to pull it away, but you should use it easily, I have already tried, this bow can send arrows to kill the enemy in one hundred and fifty steps, and can pierce the stake within a hundred steps, but the number of special feather arrows is only more than 100, you take it first." ”

Shen Leng was overjoyed: "General Xie! ”

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Actually, Your Majesty also has a gift I want to give you, but I am afraid that the courtiers will say that Your Majesty prefers you, so I put it here in advance." ”

He beckoned, and two soldiers came over carrying a wooden box, which made a thud when it was placed on the ground, obviously heavy.

Yuan Shu opened the wooden box: "Come and see." ”

Shen Leng leaned forward, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden.
