In the evening, as the young soldiers began to line up in the greenhouse to receive meals, the Xiyuan, which was in full swing during the day, finally gradually quieted down, only the sound of gobbling and the sound of chopsticks touching the coarse porcelain bowl, not even the sound of ear-to-ear. Because in today's military discipline, you are not allowed to talk when eating, and if you don't finish eating within the specified time, you are not allowed to move your chopsticks when you are half-full.

And Xu Xun did not supervise in the big shed at this time, but stood on the galloping road behind the small school field. There is a blazing pine resin torch on the side. The sun rose late and set early on this cold day, and he practiced archery with such a little effort in total, so he naturally didn't dare to waste time. Although no one in his subordinates has dared to question whether his skills are tough, and the officers recommended by the commander Sun Xu Guangzuo are also very handy, he can't always fool people with his lip service.

At this moment, he shot an arrow again, and when he heard the sound of the knock, he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and touched the quiver he was wearing, and as soon as the arrow was in his hand, he couldn't help but look down again, but found that there was only one of the ten arrows left in the quiver, and two bags of twenty arrows had been shot out at this time. Raising his head again to face the target, he slowly fed the arrow into the bowstring, leveled his right elbow and was about to draw the bow to shoot, when suddenly he heard a shouting not far away.

"Commander Xu, Commander Xu!"

This distraction, Xu Xun subconsciously let go of the bowstring, seeing that the arrow was blown crooked by a gust of wind not long after it went out, and it shot diagonally on the muddy ground, he couldn't help but shake his head, and then turned his head, only to see a person behind the horse bridge who should never have appeared here at this time.

"Commander Xu, the little marquis said that there is something important, and I want to see you no matter what!"

Because Xu Xun was afraid that too many people would get into trouble, only Ma Qiao knew about his practice of archery in this gallop, so that this big black man was honest. However, being honest does not mean that Mu Ne, at this moment, Ma Qiao glanced at the master behind him who had just been furious, and immediately bowed deeply after saying this: "I still have to watch over there, so I will retire first!" ”

Seeing that Ma Qiao slipped faster than a rabbit, Xu Xun realized that Zhu Houzhao's face was indeed a little scary. However, he was more worried about the impact of the dignified prince running out like this at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and only then did he call His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stretched out his hand, intending to pull his collar. He quickly dodged the grab, but the sleeve was finally not spared, and was fished out by the little prince.

"Xu Xun, why did you ask people to return my jade pendant?"

"What?"

Xu Xun was confused by this vicious questioning at first. However, when Zhu Houzhao repeated it again, he finally vaguely understood a little. Although he still didn't know what was going on, he knew that Zhu Houzhao, a spoiled child surnamed Ren, was going to be coaxed, so he immediately spread his hands and explained helplessly: "Your Highness, you must know that I haven't left Xiyuan for a single step these days, and I don't know what happened outside, you have to tell me the cause and effect, right?" ”

Zhu Houzhao asked Empress Zhang to summon Qi Jiliang into the palace with permission, and asked people for a while to learn the origin of this jade pendant, he was immediately annoyed, and went straight to Xiyuan regardless of it. Seeing Xu Xun's appearance at this moment, he said unconsciously angrily: "What cause and effect!" The jade pendant I sent out, how could it fall into the hands of Xing'anbo, Xing'anbo gave the things to Li Yifeng of the Beizhen Fusi, what did he say to let people transfer it to me, Li Yifeng met Qi Jiliang again, and somehow asked Qi Jiliang to hand it over to the eldest aunt to return the things to me! You say, what the hell is going on! ”

This Datong has no logic at all, and it may be foggy in the ears of uninformed people, but Xu Xun knows the surnames of Shen Yue and Xu Liang, plus as soon as Qi Jiliang is involved, he immediately understands seven points, and after thinking about it carefully, he almost understands the deep meaning of this one, and immediately takes a deep breath.

"I didn't think of this, but I can explain it to His Highness. But I can't tell you for a while, it's dark and it's windy outside......"

Zhu Houzhao was a little curious about Shen Yue, who had only been with him for most of the day, because it was different from any woman he had seen before, unlike Empress Zhang, not like several eldest princesses, not like Zhang Jingxuan and the cousins of the Marquis of Jianchang, not to mention those palace maids who were submissive or twisted, and even what he saw in the drama was different. At this time, he was annoyed that the things he had sent were returned, which was simply a rebellion he had never seen before!

"Don't you want to tear it off, don't say it's windy outside, even if it's a knife outside, you have to explain it to me first!"

"Good, good!"

Xu Xun really couldn't do anything about this little prince, so he pulled Zhu Houzhao to the cedar bench where he was tired from practicing archery and rested, and sat down Zhu Houzhao. Seeing that although Zhu Houzhao was wrapped in a thick coat, his nose was sucking hard, as if it was a little unsmooth, he was afraid that the other party would fall ill with a cold, so Suo took off the sheepskin coat on his body and put it on Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Highness, this matter is a long story, please listen to the minister tell a story."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's eyes didn't blink, Xu Xun thought about it, and talked about it from the time he woke up for the first time in Jinling City. From being seriously injured and diving into the water to save people but being rescued by others, to being angry when someone was trying to rob the family property, Shen Yue always treated people as girls when he disguised himself as a woman three times and twice, and then received Fu Rong's post on the Kuiyuan Tower, how to force Zhao Qin and Master Xu and others to force back from the coercion abacus of Zhao Qin and Master Xu in the ancestral hall, and finally to Zhao Qin's forced marriage to the Shen family, Shen Yue jumped on the Wende Bridge, in fact, how to cheat and escape, how did he find the person, and how did the last big case start and end it...... His eloquence has always been excellent, and he spoke vividly, Zhu Houzhao asked a few questions from time to time at first, but when he heard the end, he didn't say a word, obviously the whole person was immersed in it.

"There is such a thing, there is such a thing!"

Zhu Houzhao grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and at most what he saw was a small fighting eye between the eunuchs and palace maids, at most he was scolded by the courtiers, at most he was reprimanded by his parents, at most he heard one or two rumors and was depressed for a while, and at most he couldn't get used to the faces of the two uncles. He never knew that there would be such a thing that he had never heard of in the people, and Xu Xun, who he thought he knew a lot, was able to stand here because of the hardships he had experienced.

"Then Miss Shen is ...... It's ......"

Zhu Houzhao was only halfway through his words, and he saw Xu Xun nodding at him, he first took a deep breath in amazement, and the next moment he waved his small fist violently and shouted: "Tai...... It's amazing, it's ...... It's tough! Xu Xun, I originally thought you had a lot of ghost ideas, but I didn't expect you to be so bold! And Sister Shen, she really dared to jump into the river! ”

After being stuck for a long time, Zhu Houzhao finally gave up his efforts to continue to express his admiration in words, and stuffed the jade pendant to Xu Xun, and couldn't help but say: "If you return this thing to her, just say that the things I sent out have never been taken back!" ”

The reason why Xu Xun was willing to take the risk of letting Shen Yue enter Beijing was to bet on Zhu Houzhao's possible surname - such a thing, only this freewheeling prince could accept or even admire, and if he was someone else, he had already buttoned up the big hat of bullying the king. At this moment, he didn't shirk it, he directly put the jade pendant in his arms, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, no one else knows about this matter except for my father, and please keep it secret for us, otherwise Miss Shen is in a worrying situation." ”

"Of course!" Zhu Houzhao thought that he had also shared that big secret with Xu Xun that no one had told him at first, and when he heard this, his eyebrows fluttered, and his chest slapped loudly. But the next moment, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "However, why bother, why don't I go and ask my father to marry you and my sister?" ”

"Never!" Xu Xun knew that this little prince was a surname who could say and do, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Highness, although the emperor is the Son of Heaven, some things are not arbitrary. This incident caused a storm in Jinling at the beginning, but now the rumor has not passed, if another Shen girl is still alive at this time, it will definitely be another uproar. His Royal Highness should also know that the last time was such a trivial matter, and the minister was almost anxious. ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but pat his head in annoyance: "Ah, too, those old men are not easy to deal with!" ”

"Therefore, this can only be the secret of the minister and His Highness. When the time is ripe, it is not too late to try to explain to the emperor. ”

Although he was a little regretful, Zhu Houzhao still agreed with a frown, and then sneezed loudly. At this moment, Liu Jin's voice called out to the little marquis in the distance. Xu Xun saw that the sky was darker again, and hurriedly urged Zhu Houzhao to return to the palace, who knew that the little prince patted his ass before standing up, and suddenly looked at the bow and arrow that Xu Xun put aside, and then suddenly left him, and rushed to a target on the side.

"Okay, Xu Xun, you actually practice archery skills secretly!"

Zhu Houzhao tiptoed and looked at the dense arrow target that had ** arrows, and suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Xun viciously and said: "Don't go, this prince has been practicing for a few days, you can compete with this prince first!" Liu Jin! ”

When Liu Jin, who was guarding from afar, ran over with a smile on his face, he was stunned when he heard such a request, and only after a long time did he agree with a sad face, but he helplessly calculated in his heart how the pair of emperors and queens would be furious when he turned around. However, at this moment, seeing that under the pine resin torch, Zhu Houzhao slowly pulled his bow and arrows, and his posture was very similar to that thing, he was still a little in a trance.

This master, except for these days, has never done one thing so seriously and wholeheartedly in his life!
