galloping all the way, on the third day, Zhao Ming and the Shenwu army finally arrived in Xiping City, the capital of Xiping Prefecture.

During the entire march, Zhao Ming and the Shenwu Army had only rested twice, and each time it did not exceed two hours, so Zhao Ming and the others looked a little embarrassed.

Zhao Ming called Feng Wu to explain a few words, and asked the deputy general of the Shenwu Army to take the army to camp outside the city, and then bring Feng Wu and a hundred heavily armed Shenwu soldiers to the city. The Wei brothers dressed up as soldiers and rushed to accompany them.

It is a clear rule that no Dazhao army is allowed to enter the city without reason, in order to prevent the army from disturbing the people. Even if Zhao Ming is a prince, he can enter the city, but he can't bring the Shenwu army into the city.

At this time, the city tower was already in a panic, and anyone who saw an army suddenly appear outside the city would be a little apprehensive in their hearts, and everyone knew that Xipingzhou was in rebellion.

Fortunately, it was under the banner of the Shenwu Army, and it was all cavalry. The gatekeeper general was only a little more relaxed in his heart, and the rebels couldn't take out so many horses.

When I thought of the official document I had just received a few days ago, my heart tightened again. If it is really a Shenwu army, then there is a prince from Beijing in this army. The rebellion was put down just a few days ago, and this is not to be offended.

Seeing that the army was stationed in the distance, it was only close to the state city under the escort of a hundred people. is even more convinced of his own judgment, and the one who only wears a samurai uniform and makes people feel extremely luxurious in the heavy guards is afraid that it is the legendary six princes.

The gatekeeper hurriedly shouted: "The person who came is the commander of this counterinsurgency, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Great Zhao?" ”

This doesn't have to be answered by Zhao Ming personally, if he comes to answer, it will seem abrupt. The herald replied: "It is the sixth prince who is here, and he will go to the city to rest and recuperate when he returns to Beijing this time." ”

"Your Highness, forgive me, can you take the order of the Tiger Talisman to take a look?"

Seeing Zhao Ming nodded, the herald took the tiger talisman from the quartermaster and the order that came with the official document and stepped forward and put it into the basket hanging down from the city tower.

Zhao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, the official document that the old man made up behind him could be regarded as helping Zhao Ming solve a big trouble, at least so that Zhao Ming would no longer have a headache for entering the city. Otherwise, there is only a tiger charm, and there is no official document, and he wants to take these hundred people into the city, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome.

"Your Highness, the last general is abrupt, open the city gate now and welcome His Highness into the city." The general guarding the gate checked the official document of the tiger rune and saw that there was no problem at all, so he did not dare to slack off, and signaled his sergeants to open the city gate. He hurriedly ran down the city tower and waited by the roadside.

Zhao Ming looked at the slowly opening city gate and sighed a little in his heart. He did not hesitate to disobey his father several times, racked his brains in the counterinsurgency, and finally came to this point.

As long as tonight passes, he will achieve all the goals of this trip to Beijing and calm the anger that has been depressed in his heart. For this reason, even after returning to Beijing, he Zhao Ming will bear all the consequences.

After settling down, Zhao Ming shook his horsewhip and said loudly: "Enter the city!" ”

Walking to the city, Zhao Ming saw the guards who were already waiting on the side, nodded reservedly and asked, "You are alone?" What about the other officials in Xiping Prefecture? ”

"Your Highness forgives your sins, Your Highness came a little suddenly. The humble has already made people quickly inform the Lord of the Mansion. ”

Zhao Ming was overjoyed in his heart, his face did not change, and he pretended to have no intention of asking: "Oh, Lord Fuzun hasn't left yet?" ”

"Lord Fuzun is arranging things after leaving office, and I planned to start tomorrow."

It's not in vain that I'm in a hurry day and night! Zhao Ming smiled very satisfied: "Oh, that just happens to go back to Beijing with me, I have to send him off." ”

"Your Highness is kind, thank you for your majesty."

"No thanks, this is what Ming should do." The road to the Ghost Gate has been paved for you, have a good trip!

When Zhao Ming was chatting with the general guarding the gate, Li Huai, the governor of Xiping Prefecture in the distance, came with the officials of the state capital, and before anyone arrived, there was a hearty laugh: "Li Huai, the governor of Xiping Prefecture, has seen His Royal Highness the Sixth. Courteous. ”

Zhao Ming carefully looked at the Zhizhou in front of him. Li Huai is over forty years old, with a thin face, three long beards, bright eyebrows, and a heroic and righteous face with a national character. At first glance, no one would be associated with the big villain who didn't care about the lives of the victims and embezzled and took bribes, and in order to cover up his ruthlessness, he killed the people in Ningxian County.

"Lord Li, let His Highness wait." Zhao Ming didn't return the salute, and sat on the horse and pointed at Li Huai with a horsewhip.

"Your Highness, forgive me, Your Highness came down too suddenly. Li Huai was unprepared and neglected. Seeing that Zhao Ming was so arrogant, Li Huai felt a little angry and relaxed a little, "Please let Your Highness enter the mansion prepared by the lower officials in the lower city to rest first, and later the lower officials will set up a banquet for Your Highness to wash the wind and dust and then make amends." ”

"Okay." Zhao Ming withdrew his impolite horsewhip and put on an arrogant and unreasonable appearance of the second ancestor: "I want to meet all the civil and military officials in Xiping Prefecture tonight. If you don't come, you won't use it later. There is also the Shenwu Army, which has already been trapped all the way, so let the state soldiers vacate the barracks! ”

"This..."

Before Li Huai could speak, Zhao Ming took the lead: "In addition, please ask Lord Li to help prepare some special products, and I will be filial to my father when I return to Beijing." Zhao Ming focused on strengthening the word specialty in his tone.

Li Huai's heart was relieved, what else should I do! However, another greedy person, to see the entire Xiping Prefecture civil and military is just to receive a few more courtesies. I'm afraid you won't accept it!

What was the official worried about being found before, and the bribes were so obvious, the greedy face was clearly a straw bag? Blind that talent. The successful suppression of the rebellion can only be done with the help of the combat power of the Shenwu Army and the Jingzhai Army.

"This is natural, and I should satisfy His Highness." Li Huai decided to forgive Zhao Ming for his rudeness and smiled very sincerely.

"Oh, then His Highness will wait and see. Lead the way! Zhao Ming also smiled very sincerely.

His own subordinates stepped forward to lead the way, and when Zhao Ming and his party walked away, the gatekeeper general approached and whispered in front of Li Huai: "My lord, really let the state soldiers move out of the camp?" ”

"Let's move, but it's only a day's work. Isn't there also a camp further away? Anyway, the rebellion has been put down, and there is no danger compared to Fucheng. Far away, far away. Also, the state soldiers have resumed their previous treatment, and the state soldiers have eaten too well during this time, and the capital city can't supply it. ”

"Yes, sir."

In the evening, Li Huai took all the civil and military forces of Xiping Prefecture to stand under the drunken immortal tower and wait for Zhao Ming's driver. Zuixianlou is already the best restaurant in Xiping Mansion, and the drunken goose is a must.

It didn't take long to see Zhao Ming and his entourage coming, and the hundred soldiers of the Shenwu Army who accompanied them into the city were all with him, Li Huai frowned, what are these six princes going to do?

"Forgive me, Master Li." Zhao Ming saw Li Huai's doubts and bowed his hand apologetically, "His Highness has killed too much in the rebellion, and the rebels hate His Highness to the core. The endless assassinations along the way made the adults laugh. ”

"Oh, is Your Highness alright? These untouchables are so bold! Li Huai put his mind at ease and spoke a few points lower to Zhao Ming. Greedy and afraid of death!

"Heh, His Highness is foolproof under the escort of the Shenwu Army, and those rabble still want to take His Highness's life?"

"Your Highness is brave, those rebels have no eyes and no beads, and they are vain to resist the mandate of heaven. Your Highness please! ”

"Master Li, please!"

The two foxes with their own ghosts entered the building hand in hand, and Li Huai was half a step behind to show respect. Xipingzhou Wenwu then followed up, and there was a big wave of people.

Zhao Ming turned his head and nodded slightly. Feng Wu understood, and when all the staff went upstairs together, Feng Wu waved his hand, and seventy Shenwu soldiers surrounded the restaurant, and Feng Wu took the remaining twenty or so soldiers to guard the only staircase on the first floor, waiting for Zhao Ming's call.

Speaking of the second floor, Zhao Ming only brought five guards to the second floor, and he was not allowed to sit on the main seat at the highest place, without any image of reclining seats.

Li Huai smiled embarrassedly, this highness is really rude, he has no intention of being humble at all, and waved his hand. The respective officials took their seats according to the size of their official positions.

Seeing everyone in place, the atmosphere was a little dull. Li Huai, who regarded himself as the master, stood up and raised his glass to Zhao Ming first: "This first cup of the official first respects His Royal Highness, and congratulates His Highness on his success." His Royal Highness went out, and the rebels broke the news, so as to avoid the suffering of the war in Xiping. ”

Zhao Ming sat on the chair and casually picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, his brows furrowed. It's still a juice-like drink, it's boring! "Lord Fuzun praised it, and the soldiers are just powerful." His Royal Highness is just a little hard work. ”

Know how to be humble at this time? Li Huai had a little headache about the changing personality of the six highnesses, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is modest, and the lower officials only received the news that the rebellion has been put down." I don't know the specific situation, I don't know what happened? Let the lower officials appreciate the heroic posture of His Royal Highness. ”

Zhao Ming played with the wine glass in his hand, the wine is not good, this wine glass is good, it is very delicate or sterling silver, and some hands are falling: "Self-damage is not more than 100, more than 200 enemies are killed, and more than 5,000 prisoners." ”

What the? This highness is blowing again, right? Five thousand captives? Is this perverse battle damage possible? Even if you want to claim merit, it's not such a trick. Li Huai's smiling face was completely stiffened on his face, and he didn't know how to take it for a while.

At this time, Zhao Ming seemed to come to the spirit. He looked at Li Huai with a smile: "Lord Li, what do you say these captives should be done?" What a waste of food! ”

"This?" Li Huai's heart suddenly, there is something in Zhao Ming's words: "This is naturally His Royal Highness and the imperial court, and the lower officials have no right to put their beaks." ”

"Still." Li Huai's words changed, "These rebels attacked the county government, attacked the city with the victims, and openly rebelled. It was an unforgivable crime committed by Zhao Luli, and waiting for Jingli's trial was nothing more than a death. ”

"Moreover, the leader of the rebels, Wei Ziqi, has a very strong ability to deceive people, and most of the rebels blindly obey. I'm afraid that I will have a long night and a lot of dreams, of course, I don't doubt His Highness. I'm afraid that if something happens..."

"My Xiping Prefecture has just experienced floods, and there are not many stocks. The Jingzhai army also has to prepare food to guard against the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there are many deficiencies in raising these 5,000 people. ”

Hehe, Zhao Ming smiled, although Li Huai's words did not mention the slightest intention to kill them all, but all of them wanted Zhao Ming to want to go in this direction. It's kind of interesting. "What is Master Li worried about?"

"What's the lower official worried about? Your Highness was too worried. What does this mean, Your Highness? "Old God Li Huai is here, even if these 5,000 people are escorted into Beijing, what can they do to catch him?

Wei Ziqi came with this, and he Li Huai didn't say a word of nonsense to the surnamed Wei and ordered his subordinates to release arrows. Coming with the crowd can be said to be the rebels who want to attack the city, and it is his responsibility to shoot all of them. Anyway, since the moment when the Shuai Min of Wei Zi attacked the county government of Ning County, he had already become a rebel. Li Huai has no faults!

Of course, Zhao Ming also thought of this, this Li Huai is a master, and he does things seamlessly. I couldn't help but applaud.
