Steward Liu kept bowing to the ground, and didn't dare to raise his head, but just kowtowed three times, saying that he was willing to listen to the old prince's dispatch.

The Liu family has always been the steward of the old prince's family, since the father of the Liu housekeeper, he has been following the old prince and helping the old prince manage this huge palace, the most important of which is:

"Absolute loyalty, absolutely not much to say, the housekeeper is to do a good job of the housekeeper and obey the master's arrangement! Be sure to! ”

The old prince's face returned to his previous boldness, and he repeated the exhortation in his mouth:

"What kind of character my son Ling Xingyue is, I know best, in my opinion, he does not have the spirit of a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy, so he must not be provoked to act arbitrarily and act recklessly.

Although the war is about to be peaceful, it is also the time when the enemy army is the most desperate to counterattack, which is even more dangerous, if I return safely this time, then I can still protect the Ling family for at least 20 years, if I die on the battlefield, you must protect the Ling family for me, protect the good lady, and protect the only descendant of my Ling family, my son Ling Xingyue.

Although I have fought all my life, but in my heart I still hope that the world can be peaceful forever, even if I give up the current position of this military candidate, I don't feel pity at all, but it is a pity that this world often backfires, you and your father are my Ling family's henchmen, and your father and I are like brothers, so I will say these words to you, I hope you can understand the deep meaning. ”

The old prince helped Steward Liu up with his own hands, and then looked at the face that was still a little young at the time, and explained in a low voice:

"Your father is old, and I can't bear to put a heavier burden on him, and I know that your father has taught you well.

Therefore, if one day my Ling family has to leave Beijing to go to the "Lanke Ranch", you must keep some henchmen in the capital, so that you can know the situation in the capital at any time.

You can do these things, but you must be careful and careful, and you must not let any outsiders know, even if it is Ling Xingyue, don't let him know until the last resort, this matter, one more person knows, it is a great danger to the Ling family and you, do you know? ”

Steward Liu agreed with a solemn face, and just when he wanted to bow to the ground again, the old prince pointed to a round stool next to him and motioned for Steward Liu to sit and talk.

When Steward Liu sat sideways facing the old prince, the old prince squinted, and there was not the slightest wave in his eyes, but Steward Liu seemed to faintly hear the sound of the sword and sword shadow Jin Ge Iron Horse, and it came with a sonorous voice:

"I have sent Si Jinyao to the "Lanke Ranch", and asked him to organize the operation of the ranch, and it is best to create a place where my Ling family can really call the shots.

His military prowess is no less than mine, and when the time comes, he will manage the entire ranch for my Ling family, and if it is really necessary, he will secretly train some soldiers to be his family or wranglers.

These private matters, if one day, he needs your assistance, you must do your best to help, then I will hand over the Ling family to you and Si Jinyao, now I order, you two must protect the Ling family, if you protect the Ling family, it is to protect the safety of the two of you, cut! ”

Steward Liu has already been agitated, knowing the great significance of this Tuogu, due to the crazy counterattack of the enemy army last time, a new deputy general of General Ling has died under the random arrows in order to save the old prince, so the danger of this expedition, even the old prince does not know what his fate is.

That's why there is this entrustment, and there is also this private matter to tell.

Steward Liu's family is deeply favored by the old prince, since his father, the Liu family has already handed over their lives to the old prince, although this time the old prince's sorrow and loneliness are obvious, but after all, it is also a military family.

After listening to the old prince's instructions, Steward Liu's face suddenly changed from sad and sad to sharp, and solemnly overflowed from the corner of his lips:

"Please rest assured, old prince!"

Then there was no more words, but there was a rumbling in Steward Liu's chest, and the new mission and responsibility made him more mature and stable in an instant.

So if Steward Liu hadn't guessed wrong this time, Si Jinyao must have already known that the imperial court intended to test the little prince and let him go out to fight against this riot grassland frontier soldiers and bandits, otherwise, Lan Keman's mother was sick and Lan Keman had been at home for a few days, so he would not have been completely blind to the figure of Situ.

Although Steward Liu usually speaks indifferently and doesn't talk much, he has already figured out the affairs of these children, but these entanglements are not what he should take care of Steward Liu, so he just understands and knows, and doesn't say much, and this is not something he can manage.

In the past few days, the little prince has helped Mrs. Lan to find a doctor and a doctor, and he has personally gone to visit, and Steward Liu has already guessed eight or nine, but the little maid he sent to inquire said that he did not see the young master of the Si family helping in the Lan Mansion.

At that moment, Steward Liu knew that it must be Si Jinyao who began to discuss this campaign with Si Tu as soon as he knew the thoughts of the imperial court, which was also the reason why Si Jinyao hired a martial arts master to teach Si Tu all the year round, plus Si Jinyao's teaching in the war that he had been doing himself, it should also be for the sake of one day, Ling Xingyue needed to go to the battlefield, and Si Tu would follow him at any time.

Thinking of this, Steward Liu rarely said some more words about this war:

"I shouldn't have said anything, but the old prince once entrusted me to take care of your safety, if you haven't healed now, Si Jinyao and I will help you push this expedition away, Situ can go on as a general, he was originally my Lingwang Mansion's disciple, it is natural for me to go on the expedition for you, my son Liu Qizi will also follow the left and right, and will definitely not let the old prince be ashamed, you can rest assured."

Ling Xingyue listened to Steward Liu's words of Chicheng, and also felt full of emotion in her heart, knowing that this was the most daring word that Steward Liu had ever said.

raised his eyes to look at Liu Qi, but saw that Liu Qi had already knelt down at his side, kowtowing and petitioning.

Ling Xingyue's face was flat, she lowered her body to help Liu Qi, and said solemnly to the two:

"You have done a very good job this time, if the Holy Lord decides that it is my Ling family to go on the expedition this time, I Ling Xingyue will definitely be duty-bound, even if I hand over the work of this expedition to others, I am not very relieved, no matter what, I will protect this pasture."

Then, the white and slender knuckles lightly buckled a few times on the table tops, and then raised his head and said earnestly to Steward Liu and Liu Qi:
