In terms of background, several of them are the sons of the princes. He Qi and Jiang Yao have decided on a family affair, Zheng Qinghuai and Ye Lingyun have not yet decided on a relationship, and they are on an errand in front of the palace. The family has not set up a marriage for them for a long time, so it may be to wait for Emperor Xuanhe to choose a horse for Princess Kangning.

As a result, Emperor Xuanhe picked Zhu Qijue.

What is Zhu Qijue better than them?

There is only one answer!

Born handsome!

Zheng Qinghuai and Ye Lingyun were happy for Zhu Qijue, but they secretly felt sour in their hearts.

Ye Lingyun still nodded his face, and he was embarrassed to reveal it. Zheng Qinghuai was born with a mouthful, and when he saw Zhu Qijue's smirk, he couldn't help it for a while, and opened his mouth to joke a few words.

Zhu Qijue quickly came back to his senses, kicked Zheng Qinghuai unceremoniously, and scolded with a smile: "you!" ”

Several people were used to laughing, Zheng Qinghuai was kicked to the ground, and he turned over with one heel, deliberately showing a look of jealousy and hatred in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and greeted Ye Lingyun: "Ye Si, let's go together!" Let's beat up the future two horses. ”

Ye Lingyun let out a happy sigh and rushed forward with a scream.

He Qi let them make a fuss for a moment before he said with a smile: "You two are almost done." ”

"Qijue won the favor of the emperor and promised to be Princess Kangning. It's a great event. Today we should have celebrated Qijue. However, he will leave Beijing tomorrow and should not drink alcohol. It can only replace wine with tea. ”

Everyone laughed together.

At noon on this day, Zhu Qijue was poured several pots of tea and ran to the hut several times in a row, and the group of friends were overwhelmed and laughed.

……

In the early morning of the second day, a carriage left the palace, walked out of the palace gate, walked onto the official road, and headed for the border pass thousands of miles away.

The Tatar prince Yuan Silan sat in the carriage and did not show up. In front of and behind the carriage were Yuan Silan's personal soldiers.

These soldiers have been imprisoned in the capital for more than a year, and they don't know how aggrieved they are. At this time, they were riding horses, carrying long knives at their waists, and their eyes were sharp and fierce.

Compared with the ferocious and exposed Tatar cavalry, the Imperial Forest Army of Da Chu was much calmer and calmer. These two thousand Imperial Forest Army were personally selected by the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

The two hundred imperial guards were the list set by He Qi himself. Zhu Qijue and others are on the list.

In terms of military appearance and style, the imperial guards are even better. They are all disciples of the Great Chu Generals, who have practiced martial arts since childhood, are innocent, and are loyal to the Son of Heaven.

When it comes to employing people, of course, we must pick trustworthy ones.

Pei Zhang originally intended to go to the border pass, but he went to He Qi in private, but He Qi clearly refused: "Pei Zhang, don't say dark words in front of Ming people." You and I can only go to one of these two for this trip. The Tatar prince took the initiative to open his mouth and let me accompany him. Dismiss this idea completely! ”

Pei Zhang endured his anger and said in a low voice: "This is what His Royal Highness the Second Prince meant. The Tatar prince is the cousin of His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the fiancé of Princess Shouning. This went to the border pass, thousands of miles away, and it was to persuade the Tatar cavalry to surrender. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not worried about the safety of the Tatar prince, so he wants me to go with him......"

He Qi raised his eyebrows and sneered, interrupting Pei Zhang unceremoniously: "These high-sounding words, you can just say them to others, and there is no need to say more in front of me." ”

"I'm still saying that. You and I, we can only go to one. If I go, you can't go. ”

"If His Royal Highness the Second Prince is angry and unhappy, let His Highness come to see me in person."

Pei Zhang's face was so angry that his face turned blue and he brushed his sleeves away.

Thinking about it, the second prince was also very angry. He Qi made it clear that he would not buy the account of the second prince, and he was determined to stand on the side of the sixth prince.

However, the second prince endured this sulking and did not go to He Qi.

He Qi is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he is also the prince of Pingguo. These two layers of identity are extremely weighty. The second prince couldn't win over, and he didn't want to open the sin head-on.

"Cousin!" Zhu Qijue leaned over and asked in a low voice, "The carriage behind has not moved, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

As he spoke, he yelled at Nunu, the carriage that Yuan Silan was riding.

Since leaving the palace, Yuan Silan has been sitting in the carriage and has never shown up, so she is honestly overdone. Zhu Qijue stared at Yuan Silan's carriage all the way, and he was about to stare at each other.

A trace of coldness flashed in He Qi's eyes, and he said lightly: "I just left Beijing today, and there will be no movement." You can just keep an eye on it, and you don't have to go over, so as not to attract too much attention. ”

That's just as well.

Zhu Qijue nodded in response.

He Qi glanced at Zhu Qijue, and suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed. Zhu Qijue was so laughed that he was furious: "Cousin, what do you think of me like this?" ”

He Qi quipped in a low voice: "I suddenly remembered something just now. The emperor issued an order yesterday to marry you and Princess Kangning. The Tatar prince is the future concubine of Princess Shouning, haven't you become a brother-in-law with him? ”

Zhu Qijue: "......"

He doesn't want to do anything with Yuan Silan!

Zhu Qijue complained silently in his heart, but he couldn't talk nonsense in his mouth, so as not to fall into the ears of others and give birth to tongue and wrong.

……

That night, the group rested in the post house on the official road.

No matter how big the post house is, it can't accommodate so many soldiers. Two thousand Imperial Guards and five hundred Tatar cavalry set up camp outside the inn. The two hundred imperial guards were divided into two shifts, taking turns to guard the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

When you go out on the march, you can't be at ease in the capital, and the cooks in the post house are mediocre. However, everyone was hungry and tired after walking all day, and there was nothing to be faulted with when there was a hot meal and hot water to bathe.

Yuan Silan, who had been separated for a whole day, finally began to sprout moths. Send the soldiers around him, ask He Qi to go to dinner together, and discuss the next itinerary by the way.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. Yuan Silan has a special identity, and he put on the stand of the Tatar prince, and He Qi can't refuse.

Zhu Qijue's heart tightened, and he subconsciously glanced at He Qi.

I saw He Qi raise his eyebrows, and said lightly: "You go back to His Highness, and there is no need to eat together." lest they face each other and have difficulty swallowing their meals. When I finish eating, I will go to see His Highness. ”

The Tatar soldiers who were proficient in the Great Chu dialect had already been secretly ordered to be executed by Emperor Xuanhe. Now a few of the pro-soldiers around Yuan Silan are not so proficient in Da Chu's dialect.

However, the ridicule on He Qi's face was clear and clear, and he could understand it if he didn't understand it.

Tatars are martial, and it is their nature to be brave and ruthless, how can He Qi humiliate his master?

The pro-soldier suddenly stepped forward, clenched his right fist and shook it in front of He Qi's eyes. A long list of Tatar words burst out of his mouth.

Zhu Qijue and the others were confused.

He Qi raised his eyebrows and sneered, and threw a punch that hit the face of his own soldier.
