Chi An: "......"

He's not stupid.

Combined with the behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the meaning of his previous words, he can naturally taste something different.

After a pause, Chi An frowned and asked, "Your Highness thinks you can subdue them once?" ”

"Of course it's not that simple."

Qi Changrong rode a horse to the forefront, sighed heavily in the face of the cold wind, and said with half-squinted eyes: "The bones of these people are too hard, how can they be subdued at one time?" ”

Chi An pursed his lips and said disapprovingly: "Since His Highness understands that he can't be subdued at one time, why waste all this effort?" ”

"If it doesn't work once, then twice, three times, they will always have a blessed day."

Chi An was speechless: "...... His Royal Highness thinks very well, but there are only 20,000 people, and I am afraid that his Royal Highness's ambition will not be realized. ”

"You're wrong, it's more than twenty thousand."

"The grassland has begun to be chaotic, and when the chaos is at its most complete and the number of deaths gradually increases, they will panic in their hearts, and they will hope that someone can stop this disaster."

"At that time, those who can successfully reduce to repression will become the most feared existence in their hearts."

"At that time, it should be afraid."

Chi An: "Your Highness has only one person, and he will always return to Shangjing, when the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how can he suppress thousands of people in the grassland?" ”

"yes." The corners of Qi Changrong's mouth pulled out a relaxed smile: "So Gu has already thought about it, Gu will cultivate the strongest person who can suppress them, but if you suppress their strongest person again, soon, you will be able to achieve this goal." ”

All tribes are subjugated.

This vast and boundless grassland will eventually give birth to their king.

Seeing Qi Changrong's cunning smile, Chi An was stunned, and even Wei Heng, who had been listening quietly beside him, couldn't figure out why he came.

They always thought ......

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be the king of the grassland himself.

Outcome...... But suddenly it became to cultivate a king?

Facing their blank expressions, Qi Changrong explained casually: "Originally, Lone wanted to go in person, but then he thought about it, and Lone still wanted to live for two more years, so he had to retreat. ”

Chi An: "......"

Wei Heng: "......"

The two of them looked depressed.

For some reason, they felt more and more that their thinking could not keep up with the thinking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The heavy snow fell for ten days, and in these ten days, Qi Changrong led the people to beat aside the tribes that had provoked the deserted city before.

or directly hardened, or guerrilla does not retreat, in the end, it is impossible to guard against exhaustion, and finally wins.

Ten days later, Qi Changrong led the group back to the deserted city.

When Qi Changrong entered the city gate, he just turned over and dismounted, and before he handed over the reins in his hand to others, he saw a vague figure in the distance, rushing into her arms as fast as possible.

After such a collision, the heart goggles almost shattered.

Qi Changrong, who had a slight pain in his chest, thought about it.

Immediately, after hearing Shi Xia's low sobbing, she had no choice but to reach out and pat the shoulder of the person in front of her, and reluctantly comforted: "What is there to cry about, isn't Lone coming back with all beards and tails?" ”

Shi Xia wiped the corners of his eyes, withdrew from Qi Changrong's arms, and said with a nuisance on his lips: "There has been no news for ten days, how can Your Highness let the slave not worry?" ”

After hearing this, Qi Changrong pursed his lips and smiled indifferently.

The people who saw this scene couldn't help but immediately shift their eyes and put on a look that they couldn't see or hear.

Soon, Qi Changrong saw Zhao Yueqiu, who was not far away, and her face was slightly stiff.

The man was away from the cold wind, but his eyes were stubbornly looking in her direction.

In an instant, Qi Changrong understood why Shi Xia was so excited.

If the two of them were closer, Zhao Yueqiu would naturally understand that she had no chance.

Maybe one day, she will let go of the obsession in her heart.

But now, that day seems to be far away, this is a stubborn girl, and the person who is most like her.

At least for now, Zhao Yueqiu still has her in her eyes.

Qi Changrong saluted Zhao Yueqiu as usual, then looked away carelessly, handed over the reins in his hand to others, and whispered to Shi Xia with a smile.

No one knew what they said, but in everyone's eyes, they were so close.

Zhao Yueqiu's face became more and more pale, and no one noticed the loss in her eyes.

When Qi Changrong took a step, Zhao Yueqiu quickly put away all the loss, a shallow smile spread on her lips, her eyes like autumn water bent slightly, and she said softly: "It is excellent that Your Highness can return safely." ”

"I'm worried about Miss Zhao."

Hearing this, Zhao Yueqiu's face seemed to be even paler.

She could feel that the two of them had become more and more distant from each other through the thick barrier.

In the past, when she did anything inappropriate, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would refuse, scold and take a tough attitude, and she attributed these emotions to care.

She had thought that the crown prince at least cared about her.

But now, she has completely ignored her, only a distant sentence, and it is not a sincere thanks.

Qi Changrong walked forward, and the corner of his eye didn't know if he remembered passing over Zhao Yueqiu's body, and then retracted his gaze indifferently, and didn't look at her again.

did not debunk her lingering feelings, which is the greatest respect for her.

The group left as fast as possible.

Only Chi An stopped inexplicably, recalling the meaningful glance that the prince of the East Palace looked at him just now, and sighed in his heart in resignation, dealing with the peach blossom debt of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Miss Zhao, it's cold outside, let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion early."

The deep voice exploded in his ears, and Zhao Yueqiu, who was suddenly frightened, shook her body subconsciously, if it weren't for the fact that there was a stone pillar next to her, I was afraid that she would be planted like this.

Chi An was also startled, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to help but was afraid of offense, so he had to take his hand back in a daze.

"Miss Zhao is okay, right?"

"It's fine." Zhao Yueqiu stroked her forehead, and her tone couldn't hear any emotion: "It's just that my head is suddenly a little dizzy." ”

"It's okay."

Chi settled for a moment and repeated what he said before: "Miss Zhao, go home early." ”

There was a hint of urgency in the words.

Chi An is not blind, so he can naturally see the affection in Zhao Yueqiu's eyes for His Royal Highness the Prince.

But it was this undeserved affection that made Chi An difficult.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never expressed his intention to accept Miss Zhao, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has an extremely favored concubine by his side.

If these two people collide together, something will definitely happen.

Faced with such a bomb that could explode at any time, Chi An naturally avoided it.

What's more, as a military general in the army, it is not good for him to let a boudoir girl stay in front of him for a long time, so as not to ruin the reputation of others and his own future.

He saw it.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not accept Miss Zhao, he will not let others bully Miss Zhao.

Otherwise, how could he put people in his Westinghouse to take care of them on the first day of the thousands of miles coming?

After thinking about this clearly, Chi An didn't dare to be slack, and when Zhao Yueqiu walked slowly towards the City Lord's Mansion, he followed behind him in a daze, separated by a little distance, neither disturbing nor being too quiet.

The only thing that seemed to be the footsteps of the two of them was left on the entire street.

……

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, the kitchen neatly boiled two large pots of hot water, and Shi Xia instructed the two strong men to carry the bath bucket full of hot water into the clean room, and then ordered the secret guards to guard the surroundings and not allow anyone to approach.

Immediately, the door was closed tightly, and Qi Changrong took off his clothes.

Shi Xia looked at it carefully, and when he was sure that Qi Changrong had no new injuries on his body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until he entered the bathtub that Qi Changrong's frowning brows slowly loosened.

The sound of water gradually sounded, and with every movement of Qi Changrong, the steaming water droplets fell to the ground dripping.

Shi Xia took out the acupuncture bag, carefully pierced it on several acupuncture points on Qi Changrong's shoulder and neck, and said: "Your Highness has been running around for ten days, and the blood veins may be blocked, and the silver acupuncture points can relieve His Highness's discomfort." ”

Qi Changrong let out a 'hmm' sound, sat in the bathtub and closed his eyes to recuperate: "What can happen in the city in the past few days when Lone left?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Xia immediately remembered that there was still something to do, and hurriedly whispered: "After being reminded by His Highness, this festival slave has paid attention to the movements of that little girl, she seems to be ...... Something is wrong. ”

When it came to being different, Shi Xia's tone was also a little dazed.

And Qi Changrong didn't show the slightest surprise on his face, and only asked lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

"She is often near the city gates, and likes to walk around the city when she has nothing to do." Shi Xia paused and pondered, "She seems to be surveying the terrain, and it seems to be surveying the number of people in the city. ”

"Lone remember, she's twelve?"

"Yes."

Shi Xia bowed his head and understood the meaning of his Royal Highness's words: "A twelve-year-old child can already remember." ”

And will remember it very well.

Shi Xia thought about it, a look of shame appeared on his face, and he blamed himself: "She has very little time to act alone, so the slave is not sure." ”

Fortunately, there were soldiers guarding the gate of the martial arts arena.

And the city gate was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, and even if the little girl knew anything in the city, she would never be able to spread the news.

Thinking of this, Shi Xia relaxed, but asked, "Your Highness, do you need to deal with that little girl with a slave?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Shi Xia was stunned: "Why?" ”

According to the style of His Highness, when such a hidden danger is discovered, shouldn't it be immediately strangled in the cradle?

Facing Shi Xia's doubts, Qi Changrong's voice was very soft, as if he didn't have any weight, but what he said made it impossible to refute: "After dealing with her, you go to take care of Miss Zhao?" ”

Shixia: "......"

She can't.

Shi Xia's eyes were full of horror, in the eyes of Miss Zhao, she was a shameless rival who had occupied all the favors of His Royal Highness.

What if you dangle in front of others for too long, are too arrogant, and accidentally let people hate them because of love, and then turn to kill yourself?
