I saw an official in the age of a sixtieth year kneeling forward tremblingly, his head almost touching the ground.

When Duanmu Furong heard this, his face was much better, and he raised his hand and said, "Liu Aiqing got up and spoke."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old official stood up tremblingly, then arched his hand.

"Liu Aiqing said quickly, what is the strategy for retreating from the enemy." Duanmu Furong couldn't wait to ask.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the reason why the Eastern Jin Kingdom dares to invade our Western Xia territory so vigorously is because they think that we have no brave generals in the court."

As soon as these words came out, Duanmu Furong's face could wring out a puddle of ink, nonsense, who doesn't know this, and was about to scold, when he heard the old official continue:

"The old minister thinks that in addition to Prince An in Western Xia, there are also many brave generals, such as Prince Chen, Prince Jia, and King Lanjun, who were all great heroes back then, and there are fierce generals in my court, why don't the emperor use it?" After the old official finished speaking in one breath, he was a little out of breath.

The court suddenly quieted down, although this was a good idea, but it was not easy to invite these two princes and the king of Lanjun to come out of the mountain again.

Back then, Prince Chen, Prince Jia, and King Lanjun made great achievements for the stability of Western Xia, but just when they became famous, Duanmu Furong took over their military power, and the three of them became nominal princes, and now they have retired for many years, may they abandon their previous suspicions and lead troops to the battle?

Obviously, Duanmu Furong was also well aware of this, and he was entangled and looking forward to it in his heart, and then turned his gaze to other officials: "Do you Aiqing have any other opinions?"

"The ministers seconded Lord Liu's words—" Another chorus of chanting.

Duanmu Furong squinted his eyes, looking at every official below as if he was indiscriminate, and when he heard their unanimous answers, he wanted to eat them all alive.

Duanmu Furong stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode away, and the personal eunuch Chen Gonggong hurriedly shouted: "Retreat from the dynasty-" and then hurriedly chased after him, and the officials below stood up one after another, wiping the sweat on their foreheads one by one, and their hearts palpitated.

Duanmu Furong sat in the imperial study, and Gonggong Chen hurriedly served tea, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are angry, but don't be angry with the dragon body."

"With such a group of wine bags and rice bags, how can I not be angry?" Duanmu Furong said angrily: "I am a big country in Western Xia, and so far, there is not even a general who can handle it, it is the group of ministers who tend to be inflammatory." The more Duanmu Furong talked, the more angry he became, and now, he regretted a little that he had asked Duanmu Gong to investigate Prince An.

"Your Majesty, you extinguish the fire, according to the slaves, this method that Lord Liu said may work, after all, Prince Chen, Prince Jia and King Lanjun are all siblings of the emperor, as members of the royal family, when the country is in danger, you must come forward, why doesn't the emperor send someone to try?" Gonggong Chen whispered.

"But ......" Duanmu Furong was still a little hesitant.

"The slave knows what the emperor is worried about, he is afraid that the prince and the prince of the county will have a stomach in their stomachs, so why doesn't the emperor let the prince lead the princes to go forward on behalf of the emperor, so much sincerity, I believe that the prince of Chen, the prince of Jia and the king of Lanjun will not give the emperor a son." Chen Gong is fair.

These words made Duanmu Furong's face gradually soften, and he immediately said: "You go to the prince's mansion and the princes' mansions now to deliver the decree, and order them to let the second, third, and fourth children respond to this matter no matter what."

"Yes, the minion obeys." Gonggong Chen's face was also happy, and suddenly something sounded, and he said carefully: "Your Majesty, the three princes ......."

"That's it, this time let him make meritorious contributions, and if he can't succeed, he will be punished for both crimes." Duanmu Furong said angrily, if it weren't for Duanmu Gong's improper handling and making things in Chaozhou so stiff, he wouldn't be so difficult now.

"Minions, let's do it." Gonggong Chen received the order and slowly retreated.

People say that it is easy to share wealth and prosperity, but for the three of Chen, Jia and Lanjun, it is the opposite.

Let the prince lead the princes to go, to put it bluntly, the prince and Duanmu Gong are two, Duanmu Jun is not in Kyoto, and the fourth prince Duanmu Huan is only eight years old, and it is difficult to be a big responsibility.

There is no accident, the prince and Duanmu Gong's first stop at the palace of King Chen, the prince of Chen on the grounds of leg damage, tactfully refused the invitation of the prince and Duanmu Gong, to the mansion of Prince Jia, the two simply did not even see the face of Prince Jia, they were kindly invited out of the mansion, with the last hope to come to the mansion of King Lanjun.

The two sat in the hall, and they didn't see the king of Lanjun coming for a long time, and they couldn't sit still for a while, and the prince said to the servant: "This palace and ask you, when will the fourth uncle come back?"

The little servant walked over and said respectfully: "My county king has recently become obsessed with planting flowers and grass, usually living in another courtyard, no one is allowed to disturb, sometimes live for three or two days, sometimes live for a year and a half, the specific time is also uncertain, if His Royal Highness the prince and the third highness wait patiently, they will always see my county king."

These words made the prince and Duanmu Gong completely ruined, thinking that they had successfully entered the Lanjun Wangfu this time, and they would be half successful, so they pinned all their hopes on the Lanjun King, who knows, but when they heard such words, they were not angry.

"You little, why didn't you just say it? Let's wait so long in vain! Duanmu Gong couldn't help but scold.

"What the Third Highness said is not right, when the two Highnesses came down, they only said that they wanted to see the king of my family, and they didn't ask anything else, how did they rely on the little one at this time?" The grievances on the faces of the little guy told the injustice of the two.

When the prince saw that this little guy was not surprised, he didn't expect it to be an ordinary little guy, so he had a little more heart, and said: "You don't have to be angry, the third brother is just anxious, since the fourth uncle is not in the house, then we will visit the other courtyard, can you tell the palace, where is the fourth uncle's other courtyard?"

The little guy immediately stretched out his fingers, fiddling with them one by one, and kept muttering in his mouth, the two stared at the little guy in puzzlement, and the prince asked again: "Why didn't you answer for a long time?"

The little servant bowed his hand respectfully and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really not that the little one doesn't reply, but that there are too many other courtyards of my county king, and the small ones can't remember which one my county king went to this time."

"Then write down the locations of all the annexes." Duanmu Gong said impatiently, the first two failures had made his patience almost to the extreme.

"The little ones can't read." The little guy said in embarrassment.

"Let people take pen and ink, you say, this hall will write." Duanmu Gong gritted his teeth and said.

The little servant finally nodded and said, "Wait a minute, your highness, the little one will go and get the pen and ink." With that, he walked out slowly.

In the anxious waiting of the two, the little guy finally came back with the pen and ink, and Duanmu Gong couldn't wait to take the pen and ink: "Say it."

The little guy nodded and said, "The first annex of my county king is in the southwest of the suburbs of Kyoto, about three miles, then turn right, then walk five miles, see a farewell pavilion in the suburbs, then turn left, and then walk half a mile, you will see a lake, take a boat on the lake to a fisherman fishing place in the northeast to get off, and then hike two miles up the mountain, after going up the mountain, cross three bends ......"

Duanmu Gong wrote and wrote, he couldn't write anymore, and the prince was stunned, this little guy talked for such a long time, and he didn't even say a place clearly, and he seemed to understand something in his heart, and finally couldn't help but interrupt the little guy's words, and said: "Okay, don't say it, since the fourth uncle is no longer there, then we will come to visit another day."

After that, he gestured to Duanmu Gong, and the two of them left the Lanjun Palace.

The little maid watched the two of them go out of the mansion gate, hurriedly asked people to tie the mansion door, and then ran in the direction of the back garden.

Not long after, this little guy appeared in an attic in the back garden, and there were two people sitting in the attic, a man who looked no more than forty years old, was the king of Lanjun, and the person sitting face to face with the king of Lanjun turned out to be a person who no one expected - Prince An.

The two were playing chess with great interest, and the king of Lanjun was holding the sunspot in his hand, and when he heard the footsteps, his hand paused slightly, and he said casually: "Sent away?"

"Back to the master, they were all sent away, and it is estimated that they will not come back." The little guy said with a grin.

"Alright, got it, you can go." King Lanjun said without raising his head.

"Yes, the little one." The little guy slowly withdrew, not the slightest surprise because of Prince An.

Prince An couldn't sit still, so he made a move, and King Lanjun followed closely behind, threw the extra sunspot in his hand into the chess box, and said, "The prince lost again."

"If your skills are not as good as others, you are willing to bow to the wind." Prince An also put down the chess pieces in his hand and said with a smile.

"It's not that the prince's skills are inferior, it's that the prince's heart is not in chess at all." Lanjun Wang said with a smile, although the two looked polite, but almost no one knew that these two people would be friends for many years, and they had nothing to talk about.

"Hey......" Prince An sighed, and all his thoughts floated on his face: "I'm worried about the people of Chaozhou."

"If it's just because of this matter, the prince doesn't have to worry so much, seeing the defeat of the third prince, you know that Ah Gan is not a problem to deal with him at all, Chaozhou has him, and the prince can rest assured. However, according to my guess, the prince is worried about more than that. "King Lanjun seems to have seen through Prince An's mind a long time ago.

Prince An glanced at King Lanjun, and sighed again: "I really can't hide anything from your eyes, I'm worried about the war between the two countries."
