Chapter 16: General Ben is a man of His Royal Highness

Seeing Xuan Mo coming over, the well-trained subordinates in the garden scattered and secretly guarded, guarding this place impenetrable.

And several people around Shu Zhao knelt on one knee and gave a military salute: "See the general." ”

Xuan Mo didn't even glance at it.

He stood next to the flower tree, looked down at a set of tea sets placed on the table, and said calmly: "Dadu Hu is not staying in your Zhennan Du Protector's Mansion, what are you doing in Fengyang City?" ”

Shu Zhao frowned at his unceremonious words, if he hadn't known that Mo Xuanhui was such a cold, hard, soft and hard person, he would almost have wondered if he had offended him when.

He raised his eyes to look at the young man in front of him.

At the age of less than thirty, he was in charge of the 400,000 army in 19 cities on the border of the Yin Dynasty, and since the army has led countless large and small battles, but he has never been defeated, and he directly replaced the position of the Wen family after Wen Duo's accident and became the head of the generals.

Even he was half a grade lower than Xuan Mo.

Shu Zhao smiled, and there was no annoyance on his face: "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and please don't blame the general, it's better to sit down and have a cup of tea, let's talk first." ”

Xuan Mo glanced at the mountain spring water boiled in the small stove next to him, and frowned almost imperceptibly, expressing his displeasure for his behavior of driving ducks to the shelves.

But since he came, he didn't expect Shu Zhao to let him leave without saying a word, so he also sat down unceremoniously: "Most of the guards have something to say, General Ben is busy with official business, and he doesn't have time to go around here." ”

Shu Zhao looked at him: "The old man is curious, what kind of official business you will handle outside the barracks." ”

Xuan Mo's already cold face looked even colder, but he didn't speak.

"If you let the emperor know that the general left his post without permission, I'm afraid that you will not be able to explain it at that time."

Xuan Mo's face was slightly gloomy: "Are you threatening me?" ”

"You can interpret this as a reminder to you."

Xuan Mo sneered: "Didn't most of the protectors also appear in Fengyang City?" ”

Seeing that Shu Zhao's expression was a little disapproving, the Xuanmo knife poked at the painful place: "Don't tell this general that you are here by the emperor's order, otherwise...... It's just that there is a sister who is a favorite concubine in the palace, so I'm not afraid that the emperor will blame me? ”

"Anyway, when the wind blows on the pillow, the emperor will keep any anger left, right?"

Shu Zhao hated it the most in his life, and some people said that he relied on his sister to be favored in the palace to have his current status, but this time he didn't react, and the person behind him sank his face first: "Don't talk too much, general." ”

Xuan Mo acted as if this person didn't exist, and his tone was light and light: "If it's nothing important, General Ben will leave first." ”

Shu Zhao felt helpless about his temper.

If it is a different person, no matter how impatient he is in his heart, he will not show it so clearly, which person who can have a place in the court has not become a fox who has become a fine fox? No matter how much you hate it behind your back, you can't even stab someone to death with a knife, but on the bright side, you can still push the cup and change the lamp, smile and Yan Yan is a ball of harmony.

But the person in front of him is such a personality.

Shu Zhao didn't even doubt that if he said these things again, Xuan Mo would turn against him.

Seeing that Xuan Mo was about to leave, Shu Zhao finally couldn't help but speak: "What if the old man said that he came to apologize for the third prince?" ”

Xuan Mo raised his lips: "What did His Royal Highness do to be sorry for General Ben, and he actually needs Dadu Hu to come and apologize in person?" ”

Shu Zhao was ugly, he didn't expect Xuan Mo to say it so bluntly.

But Xuan Mo has that confidence and qualifications, he doesn't have to look at his face to act, and Shu Zhao can't treat Xuan Mo with the same attitude as his subordinates.

Xuanmo's official rank is higher than him, and he has more troops in his hands than him, and even the holy family is more prosperous than him.

Even if he was full of anger, he could only hold back.

"Ming people don't say dark words, the assassination of the general a few days ago was done by the third prince."

"It turned out to be because of this." Xuan Mo lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and there was no surprise in his expression, obviously he had already found out who was doing it.

Xuan Mo seemed to smile, "...... The third highness is the king, the general is the minister, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, and there is no need for the Metropolitan Protector to apologize for this. ”

Shu Zhao said lightly: "This matter is the third prince's impulse, he was also bewitched by a traitor so he did this kind of thing, the third prince originally wanted to come in person, but he couldn't leave Beijing recently, so he asked the old man to apologize to the general." ”

Hearing this, Xuan Mo raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Something happened in Beijing?" Or is the emperor planning to establish a prince? ”

Shu Zhao was stalked by him...... His face turned blue suddenly.

"If not, how could His Royal Highness ask you to come over and apologize, you know, General Ben is a person from His Second Highness."

"Moreover, it has only been a few days since General Ben was assassinated, if Dadu Hu only got the news from Zhennan Du Hu Mansion after my assassination, I am afraid that he is still on the way."

"So, Dadu Hu came over when he learned that His Royal Highness wanted to do something to General Ben? Or was it earlier? ”

"Dadu Hu wants to stop His Royal Highness from making a move against General Ben?"

"A dignified son, how arrogant his temperament is, and apologetic should be the meaning of Dadu Hu, right?"

Shu Zhao saw a person like Xuan Mo for the first time.

His original idea was that he and Xuanmo both sat down and talked calmly, he apologized for the three princes, and Mo Xuanhui also accepted the apology of the three princes, and everyone laughed and hated the matter of enmity.

But who knew that Xuan Mo's temper was as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit, and he actually pushed him back so bluntly.

On the opposite side of Xuanmo's cold expression, the gentle face is clearly without half a trace of edges and corners, but it feels like being wrapped in frost and snow, obviously in this early spring, but it makes people feel like winter.

There was a long silence.

Shu Zhao was not originally a person who would bow his head, it was common for him to fight to the death in the officialdom, but Xuanmo's attitude, such a clear position of saying that he was the second prince, clearly rejected their wooing.

There is not the slightest possibility of peace talks.

Unless the two princes shook hands and made peace, it was almost impossible.

Seeing that his face was gloomy but still holding back his anger, Xuan Mo smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on a handsome young man behind him: "Why hasn't this general beside him seen this one before, and he has been newly raised?" ”

The young man bowed slightly: "The last general, Zhao Guangzhi, the deputy lieutenant of Yilu, has seen the general." ”

Xuan Mo was slightly stunned, and instantly remembered what the villagers had said about Zhao Guangzhi in front of Changshu before.

Could it be this?
