The next morning, Yuan Xi was refreshed and came to the pavilion next to the pool where he was eating breakfast, only to see that Zhen Mi had already come first, and his face looked a little ugly.

Liu Quan, the housekeeper on the side, secretly gave Yuan Xi a look.

Yuan Xi looked at Zhen Mi, who had a cold attitude and completely ignored him, and laughed loudly: "Mi'er, it's so early!" ”

"It's already three poles in the morning, it's still early? Husband enjoyed it last night," Zhen Mi had a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Yuan Xi smiled awkwardly, and after waving away the people who served, he sat next to Zhen Mi and said with a gentle face: "Mi'er, don't be angry, no matter when, the most important thing in your husband's heart is always you, as for Hongxiu, if you really don't like it, send her back to Zhen's house."

A trace of emotion flashed in Zhen Mi's eyes, and then he glanced at him, "You have accepted others, how can you let the family go back, I have already asked Mother Zhang to go down, and Hongxiu will be your concubine in the future, and I will arrange two maids for her."

"Haha, Mi'er is really kind-hearted and generous" Hearing this, Yuan Xi hurriedly praised happily, although Hongxiu didn't have much affection for him, but after all, the two had already had a relationship, and Hongxiu was not like Zhen Mi, he could do whatever he wanted, but let Yuan Xi enjoy it, and he was naturally a little reluctant in his heart.

"Hmph, I know you can't bear it, let's eat" Zhen Mi said so, but he did pour a bowl of rice porridge for Yuan Xi personally.

"Okay, good" Yuan Xi gulped down.

"Slow down, don't worry" Zhen Mi said helplessly, she was actually not really angry, what is a mere concubine, and Hongxiu was arranged by her, what he needed was Yuan Xi to give him such a promise.

Yuan Xi nodded and said softly: "Mi'er, I am going to the military camp today, it is possible that I will not be able to come back at night, and you will be responsible for the affairs in the house."

"I know, you have to be careful outside, remember to bring the cow with you" Zhen Mi suddenly cared.

"Good!"

After eating a hearty breakfast, Yuan Xi was ready to leave for the barracks, Yuan Ping and Hu Meng had already led the guards in the palace and were waiting for him at the door.

"Second Brother"

"Childe"

After seeing Yuan Xi come out, the two immediately clasped their fists and shouted, only to see that the two were wearing thick armor at this time, one was heroic and the other was majestic and mighty.

Yuan Xi nodded, and asked Liu Quan, who was following, "Did you send all the pork, flour and the like that you prepared?" ”

"I sent it over yesterday, presumably General Jiao has already received it," Liu Quan replied.

"Good!" Yuan Xi waved his hand and got directly into a luxurious carriage in front of him, and Yuan Ping and Hu Niu'er also followed on the horseback.

"Let's go!" After Yuan Xi gave an order, everyone immediately set off and headed towards the barracks.

The military camp of the Iron Guard Battalion is located in the northern suburbs of Yecheng, while the Tiger Roar Battalion and the Xuanjia Army are located in the western and southern suburbs respectively, and their private armies are stationed outside the city, and only the city guards stay in the city to avoid too many troops and cause trouble.

The carriage drove slowly on the roadway, after leaving the wide city gate, all the way to the northern suburbs of the military camp, Yuan Xi sat in the carriage, looking at some bamboo slips, killing time.

After about half a pillar of incense, the carriage came to an area of mountains and forests, and Hu Niu'er, who was firmly guarding the carriage, suddenly stared into the distance, and said loudly: "Stop"

"Hu Junhou, what's wrong?" Yuan Ping asked suspiciously.

"Someone is coming, and there are a lot of them, and there is the neighing of war horses" Hu Niu'er waved his hand with a serious face, and suddenly more than a dozen palace guards immediately surrounded in a circle, firmly guarded the carriage, and pulled out the weapons on their waists one by one, showing a little evil on their faces.

"Niu'er, what's wrong" Yuan Xi saw the carriage stop suddenly, and couldn't help but lift the curtain and ask.

At this time, suddenly a huge sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, shaking the earth, and I saw a general wearing black armor, tall, with sharp eyes, holding a sharp spear, galloping with a group of cavalry, the number of cavalry was by no means less than a hundred.

After glancing at the carriage that appeared in front of him, the black-armored general immediately grabbed the war horse under his feet, and asked in surprise, "Is this the frame of the second son?" ”

"Second brother, it's Gao Lan, the general of the cavalry" After Yuan Ping saw it clearly, he hurriedly spoke, and at the same time asked the surrounding soldiers to put away their weapons.

"Gao Lan" Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and Gao Lan, one of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei, hurriedly put down the bamboo slip, stepped out of the carriage, and looked at the tall man not far ahead.

"The last general, Gao Lan, meet the second son" After Gao Ran saw Yuan Xi, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, rushed to the side of the carriage, and gave a respectful salute.

Yuan Xi looked at it slightly, and a trace of surprise suddenly flashed on his face.

"High Profile, Loyalty 59, Brawnpower 75, Intelligence 71"

Yuan Xi was surprised not by the high data of force and intelligence, but by loyalty, this famous general of Hebei actually had 59 loyalty to himself, which was simply unexpected, you must know that last time in the Great General's Mansion, none of the Wenchen generals had a loyalty value of more than 40 to him.

"General Gao doesn't have to be polite," Yuan Xi hurriedly stepped down from the carriage and said with a gentle face.

Gao Ran said with gratitude: "Last time, I didn't have time to thank the second son, so I was sent to Wei County, which is really embarrassing."

Yuan Xi was stunned, he didn't remember what the last time was.

"General Gao doesn't have to be polite, didn't you go out with your father?" Yuan Xi didn't ask what happened last time, so as not to leak it.

But a trace of surprise flashed on Gao Ran's face: "The second prince has forgotten that the last general offended General Yan Liang last time, if the second son hadn't come forward to speak for me, it is estimated that I would have been imprisoned, so the crusade against Gongsun Zhan, the last general failed to participate"

"Oh! So that's it" Yuan Xi finally understood, looked at the loyalty value that might break through 60 later, and smiled: "General Gao, if you have time, accompany me for a walk"

"Yes, second son," Gao Ran hurriedly replied.

After the two of them had just walked a few steps, Hu Niu'er hurriedly followed, with a majestic body, a fierce face, and eyes like a tiger, full of a terrifying deterrent.

"Niu'er, you don't have to follow, with General Gao here, I'm worry-free" Yuan Xi smiled.

Gao Ran took a closer look at Hu Niu'er at this time, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, although he hadn't fought yet, there were bursts of terrifying evil in the other party's body, which still made him clearly feel the extraordinaryness of the other party.

After Hu Niu'er heard this, he nodded slightly, stopped in place, and still looked at Yuan Xi.

After Yuan Xi took Gao Ran to a hillside not far away, he said softly: "General Gao, although you did not participate in the Battle of Yijing, your father still trusts you quite a lot, otherwise you would not be arranged in Wei County, monitor Yanzhou, and Sidai's movements, and unify the four continents, I believe that in a few years, my father will wave his troops south, and General Gao will be the vanguard general by then."

Gao Ran suddenly smiled bitterly: "The last general offended General Yan Liang, I'm afraid it won't be such an honor."

"Haha, General Yan Liang is indeed brave and invincible, but there are times when he makes mistakes, and I have always felt that the general has both civil and military skills, and he is not inferior to him" Yuan Xi praised with a smile.

Gao Ran's pupils shrank, and a little emotion immediately appeared in his heart, but he still hurriedly said modestly: "Where, where, the second son has won the award, how can the last general be compared with General Yan Liang?"

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, after the two chatted a few words, Gao Ran began to prepare to leave, he came back from Wei County this time to welcome the triumph of the army, and secondly, to tell some of the recent events in Yanzhou.

"General Gao, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can inform me at any time, I am willing to make a friend of General Gao" Yuan Xi suddenly said to Gao Ran, who was about to leave.

Gao Ran's face was shocked, and after his eyes flickered for a while, he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the appreciation of the second son, the last general will be grateful."

Yuan Xi smiled and nodded, and when Gao Ran left with the army, Yuan Ping immediately rushed to his side, and said expectantly: "Second brother, how is it?" ”

"How's that?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Would he like to follow you, second brother," Yuan Ping asked bluntly.

"Haha, the dignified general, why follow me now" Yuan Xi laughed loudly and walked towards the carriage.
