Chapter 398: The Reason for Not Leaving

If luck comes, it can't be stopped, if it weren't for the fear of exposing himself, Du Changfeng couldn't wait to go up and give General Han a big hug, this proposal is simply good, it is simply wonderful, it is simply quack. He was worried that he couldn't go to Bai Qianfan, so General Han immediately paved the road under his feet.

Although the army of the king of Chu is brave, and the prince of Chu is also good at deploying troops and arranging troops, it is a fact that his troops are insufficient. In order to strengthen the troops, all the generals below were thinking and meditating hard and painstakingly. General Han Tong was inspired by the fact that the army and the people worked together to put out the fire that night, and saw the power of unity.

He wanted to gather the middle-aged men from the nearby villages and towns for training, not only to strengthen their physique, but also to serve as a reserve force, to work in the countryside in their spare time, to do business, and to integrate once the war was tense, and to be a well-trained army, better than a temporary recruitment.

General Han reported this proposal, and the King of Chu only asked, "Is it your idea or Du Changfeng's idea?" ”

General Han was very complacent, "Naturally, it was the idea of the last general, Du Changfeng is good, but he is inexperienced, how can he think of this?" That kid has a high spirit, and I want to send him down, but I'm afraid he won't be happy. ”

When the king of Chu heard him say this, he pondered for a while, "This proposal can be tried, since you think of it, you are solely responsible, if it is feasible, you can promote it in the future." ”

General Han took the order and left.

The crown prince walked in, with a somewhat ridiculous tone: "What is the King of Chu busy with?" ”

King Chu smiled slightly, "The second brother is a busy man, and it is really hard to go out early and return late every day." The second brother should pay attention to his body, and let the people below do the trivial things. ”

The crown prince smiled and said, "Compared to the errand in the East Palace, this is nothing. There is a difference between a city and a country. ”

The prince has never liked to speak too clearly, they are all smart people, and they will know the meaning with a little mention.

King Chu looked at him, "Second brother, do you think I've stayed here for too long?" ”

The prince changed the subject, "Is there any news about Zhao'an?" ”

"Jiangbei is also the emperor's territory, this matter can only be carried out secretly, I asked Li Tianxing to run in person, and I haven't seen Liu Xuan for the time being."

"Are you sure?"

"It's man-made."

"I know a thing or two about Liu Xuan, he is low-key, has no bad habits, neither forms gangs, nor does he get close to anyone. It seems that he ignores the world, but this kind of person can't guess his thoughts. The more cautious we are, the more difficult it is to make up our minds, and if the matter of Zhao'an is delayed, it will not benefit us. ”

"What do you mean by second brother, should I fight?"

"Fighting Liu Xuan with our troops will not be a loss. If the time drags on too long, the north will have more time to fight. The First Battle of Jiangbei was nothing to us, but the First Battle of Weishui was crucial. ”

"Can you not fight or not, with the lesson of Yan Shouyi, I am afraid that Liu Xuan will become the second Yan Shouyi. Su Cheng is still recuperating, and our strength is also a problem, Han Tong has just proposed a plan, I think it's not bad, let him start to do it, it will take a while. ”

The crown prince glanced at him, "The third brother insists on staying here, but there are other reasons?" ”

King Chu smiled, "Why would the second brother ask that?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask casually." The prince arched his hand, "I still have something to do, take a step ahead, let's have a drink." ”

The king of Chu replied yes and got up to send him out.

He knew why the prince asked so, it was not his character to stop in the middle of the battle, and the king of Chu should take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight to Lin'an City in one fell swoop.

What was the prince thinking? He knows it well. In fact, you should go, and the most taboo thing to hesitate on the march is because there are too many uncertainties, too many variables, and too many accidents. He should leave no matter what, and even a few old subordinates complained about it, but he just couldn't make up his mind.

Maybe it's because I want to understand Du Changfeng's secret, or maybe it's because of the little expectation in my heart. Along the way, no city can give him such a feeling, obviously checked that she was not there, but he just didn't want to leave, as if there was always a concern for him here, he couldn't explain this inexplicable state of mind.

The prince returned to his place and called Li Xiaolu in, "How are you getting along with Jia Tong recently?" ”

Li Xiaolu hung his hands, his white face was respectful, "Jia Tong is a cheerful person, and his subordinates get along with him very well." ”

"Are you sure you haven't found out about the princess?"

"Yes, that's what Jia Tong said, he said sure the princess is not here."

The prince turned the jade wrench on his index finger, "Then why does the King of Chu refuse to pull it out?" ”

Li Xiaolu couldn't answer this question, so he could only be silent.

"You go down," the prince waved his hand, "Jia Tong don't relax there, report to me immediately if you have any news." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Li Xiaolu saluted, turned around to leave, and was stopped by the prince again, "Is there any news from Wang Shi?" The king of Chu said that he had not yet met with Liu Xuan and asked him to think of a way. ”

Li Xiaolu was a little unsure, "What does His Highness mean ......?"

"I want a quick solution and a way for him to figure it out for himself."

"Yes, my subordinates understand," Li Xiaolu arched his hand and turned to leave.

Li Xiaolu left, the prince was still a little upset, and the new district planning map was in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see anything. He tossed the drawings aside, got up and walked out of the room.

The buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are known for their beauty, and the pavilions and pavilions are hidden in the mist and rain, which has a unique charm. He took his hands, walked slowly to the backyard along the verandah, passed a moon cave door, and there was a delicate attic, which was Miss Jiangnan's embroidery building, and now Huangfu Zhu'er lived.

A servant girl happened to come down from the upper floor, and when she saw him, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness." ”

The two maidservants beside Huangfu Zhu'er are all his people, one is called Yinyu, the other is called Caifeng, for more than three years, they have been following Huangfu Zhu'er's side, until Huangfu Zhu'er entered the Chu Palace, they were separated, this time the army, many things Murong Mian already knew, there was nothing to hide, so he sent them back to Huangfu Zhu'er.

"Is the girl there?"

"The girl is upstairs."

The prince waved his hand and went straight upstairs, and the narrow wooden staircase made a rattling sound, and the people above probably heard it, picked up the curtain, and looked out, and saw that it was him, and blessed himself and went forward to salute.

He raised his hand slightly, and through a bead curtain, he saw Huangfu Zhu'er get up from the soft couch and stand there without moving, probably waiting for him to enter.

With a smile on his face, he stepped into the boudoir, "Pearl, how are you doing?" ”

"I'm fine, but the prince's brother goes out early and returns late every day, and it's not easy to see each other." Huangfu Zhu'er's voice carried a hint of complaint.

The prince asked, "What do you have to do with me?" ”

"It's nothing, I just want to meet you." Huangfu Zhu'er sighed, "I stay in the embroidery building every day, and I'm about to suffocate to death." ”

"Why don't you go down for a walk?"

"That green lotus and I always don't deal with each other, I don't want to quarrel with her, so I don't want to make it difficult for the third brother."

The prince frowned, "A maid is also worth your competition." He straightened his face, "You should put more effort into King Chu." He stayed here and didn't leave, do you know why? ”

Huangfu Zhu'er lowered her head and didn't speak, she hadn't been to Murong Mian for a long time, and the last time they met was in the camp outside the city, he said that he used to like her, but now he loves Bai Qianfan.

That word hurt her vitality, and she has not recovered until now. Therefore, she was reluctant to see Murong Mian.

She didn't tell anyone about it, buried it in her heart, and now that the prince questioned her, she didn't know how to answer.

The prince looked at her for a long time, and sighed, "Go, go see him and talk to him." ”
