"His Royal Highness the Prince, how should we fight?" Gu Chen clenched his fists, the order he received was to suppress the bandits with His Royal Highness the Prince, and to protect His Highness at any time, but who knew that the prince had found a house to live in?

"Don't rush, just be ready." Xiao Daxing rubbed the drawings in his hand and had a strategy in his heart.

"Then what should you do to prepare?" Gu Chen frowned, could it be that the prince was really as idle as Qi Wangdang and others said, and he had no big mind.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not answer him, but asked, "How can I believe you?" ”

As soon as Gu Chen heard that this was testing him, he immediately knelt on the ground and let out a muffled sound.

"Your Highness believes it or not, since I am sent by the emperor to protect you, there will naturally be reasons from the emperor, as for whether I can be trusted? Your Highness doesn't need to weigh it, after all, I've never stood on the side of the party, no matter who is the prince, it's just a Ming monarch. ”

"Oh......" Xiao Daxing sighed meaningfully, and then there was a long silence, during which Gu Chen kept kneeling on the ground with his fists clenched and his head down, but he didn't hear the sound, and he even thought that the prince was gone.

After a long time, Xiao Daxing opened his mouth, "I don't plan to bring so many people, a hundred is too much, I don't need so much, you just follow me, and the rest of the people will let them stay in place!" ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, "Back then, three thousand elite soldiers didn't exterminate this group of bandits, and now we only have a hundred people, it's even more difficult, these hundred people don't need to do it, only you and me, how can we resist those bandits who are as shrewd as foxes?" ”

"Please think twice about His Royal Highness the Prince, don't insist on going your own way and make irreparable mistakes!" Gu Chen added, and kowtowed on the ground again.

Xiao Daxing nodded, this person is available.

So he made his own plans one by one.

"What? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can you risk your life? If something goes wrong, how can I explain it to the emperor? Gu Chen looked terrified after hearing this! Although this plan is ingenious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a prince, and it is too risky to do.

"Do you think that my father will give me a hundred people, so I won't risk going like this?" The prince picked up Gu Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, looked into his eyes, and said almost word for word.

The words were all pointed out, even if Gu Chen was a fool, he weighed the pros and cons and understood that no matter what, it was a risk, and it was better to choose the one with a better chance of winning.

"Okay, I believe in His Royal Highness the Prince."

……

Just do it, the two of them found their way and turned into a body, Xiao Daxing became a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and Gu Chen became his scholar.

"There is a post station on the official road, these bandits are not bold enough to that extent, let's still take this mountain trail, there are two on the drawing, we all go for a walk, so that the possibility of "throwing yourself into the net" is higher. ”

When he really arrived at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Daxing looked at the drawing, his eyebrows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, the drawing was drawn on two paths, but the mountain was full of thorns, and he couldn't even find two paths, I really don't know how the person who drew the drawings judged that the half-human-high grass in front of him was a road.

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Gu Chen also glanced at it suspiciously, he was also there when I caught the bandits, he was the one who went up the mountain to search for them, and he still remembers the picture at that time.

Obviously it is a cottage of more than 100 people, and the officers and soldiers have also surrounded the mountain from the foot of the mountain to the waist of the mountain, and they have been passing through layer by layer, until they reach the top of the mountain, but the whole village has been checked from house to house, and there is no one in it, and some people propose to use fire to attack the mountain and force these thieves out, but the jungle on the mountain is luxuriant, if the mountain is burned, I am afraid that it will be affected within a radius of several miles, so I will do it.

"These people are very good, maybe it was indeed a road before, but after being discovered, they took another way." Xiao Daxing exhaled, it seems that this trip is not only dangerous, but also difficult, and his father really gave him a hot potato.

"So what now?" Gu Chen looked at the prince, although he didn't have much time together, but after observing the past two days, he knew that the prince was definitely not the incompetent person that the Qi Wang Party said, so now he was used to asking the prince what he meant before making any decisions.

"Keep walking, the way is made by people, isn't it? It used to work, and it still works, but there are fewer people walking. Xiao Daxing brushed aside the grass and walked forward.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince be careful, I'll explore the way ahead!" Gu Chen took three steps and made two steps, surpassing Xiao Daxing.

Xiao starling glared at him back, a little angry in his eyes. "Why can't you change it? Call me Xiao Gongzi. ”

"Okay, Childe, I'll go ahead!"

Xiao Daxing waved his sleeves, "You can help me carry these books on my back, it just rained yesterday, the mountain road is muddy, you look at it under your feet." ”

Xiao Daxing walked in front, a little wanted to laugh, Gu Chen, this idiot is only afraid that he is stupid in the military camp, which scholar has he ever seen walking in front of his son-in-law? It's not all farts and butts following behind, this scene doesn't look like it at all.

The two of them walked up the hill one after the other, and under the cover of thorns halfway up the mountainside, someone looked at them.

"What's going on with those two guys? How did you come up to our dark path? The two of them were fat and thin, and the fatter one had slightly better eyesight, and he saw a low voice from afar and said to the person next to him.

"Not good...... That...... There...... "The thinner one stuttered a little, and he couldn't understand what he said, so the fat man was in a hurry."

"It's okay to say a few words, what's wrong?" The fat man was a little impatient, today was their boss's big day, originally thought that if there was no movement, he hurried back to the mountain to drink wine after watching it for a while, but who knew that two people came, and sent a stammerer to guard with him.

"Snake ...... Viper...... Dangerous...... Danger" stammered and swallowed his saliva for a long time before he could hold back these words, and his face turned red.

However, he reminded the fat man of this reminder and remembered something, and then hurriedly ran down the mountain with a smoke.

After passing through the grassy area, there is a poisonous snake pit, after the imperial court searched the cottage, the owner of the village in order to prevent outsiders from invading the cottage raised, on weekdays, they will sprinkle a kind of medicinal powder on their bodies when they pass by, and the poisonous snake will not bite them, but the two people are approaching the poisonous snake pit little by little, completely unaware.

"Hey, you two don't know where you guys came from? Hurry home and wonder what this place is? Whose territory is it? Is this a place where you can come casually? The fat man was wide-hearted and fat, and he ran down all the way, panting, but fortunately, when he had a loud voice, when he was closer to Xiao Daxing and the others, he shouted loudly.

Xiao Daxing smiled at Gu Chen, "The opportunity will come, I didn't expect it to be so smooth." ”
