When Pei Heng arrived in Lingcheng, it was the sixth day of the eighth month.

I haven't seen Shangguan Ji for a long time, and after the inspection, I talked in the house where Shangguan Ji temporarily lived.

Shangguan Ji is not as good as before, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and his people have changed a lot.

It's no longer the guard who followed Pei Heng in the past.

This is what Pei Heng himself clearly feels.

However, he was relieved.

Even, he somewhat understood Ning Zhi's intention to push out her own guard flying blade to take charge of it alone.

"You're good now, and the temple is very pleased." Pei Heng patted Shangguan Ji's shoulder.

"Thank you, Your Highness, your subordinates have today, and they are all cultivated by Your Highness. No matter what time it is, his subordinates are His Highness's most loyal subordinates. Never betray. "Shangguan Ji knelt on one knee, which is still the etiquette when he was a guard.

Pei Heng helped him up: "You are no longer a guard now." You are already a general in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers. It doesn't have to be that way anymore. Naturally, this temple believes in your faithfulness. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shangguan Ji got up and said with a smile: "My subordinates haven't congratulated you yet, congratulations to Your Highness." When His Royal Highness is born in the coming year, our soldiers of Dajin will be even happier. ”

"Well, it's a joy indeed." Pei Heng smiled: "It's worth your pleasure." ”

"Yes, it's a happy event." Shangguan Ji looked at Pei Heng's smile and thought to himself that His Royal Highness was looking forward to this child.

In fact...... If you can tell the side rooms to enter the door early, maybe there will be several children in Your Highness......

Born in troubled times, no one advises this matter......

Nor is it appropriate, he said. It's still a matter of thinking about it when you go back.

Although it is said that His Royal Highness and the Nine Girls have a good relationship, they are not so always guarding one.

The Pei royal family already has scarce blood, and it would not be possible if it had been so scarce in the future.

Now, since the ninth girl has a child, others can have it in the future.

"Do your subordinates remember that Mrs. Cai and Mrs. He are still in Linjing? Why don't you have someone to pick you up? Shangguan Ji said suddenly.

Pei Heng was really stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about his two concubines.

Pei Heng frowned: "Why did you suddenly remember this?" ”

He was now a stranger to those two concubines.

"Now that the princess is pregnant, naturally someone should share her worries...... Shangguan Ji smiled: "These things should have been arranged by the princess, but the princess hasn't gotten married yet......"

"Shangguan Ji, don't look at these places with your eyes." Pei Heng interrupted him: "The affairs in the backyard of the main hall will be handled by the main hall itself." ”

"The subordinates have overstepped." Shangguan Ji hurriedly knelt down.

"Okay, I know that you are for the main hall, but the main hall knows these things." Pei Heng helped him up: "Let's talk about Lingcheng." ”

"Yes." Shangguan Ji didn't dare to say it again, and it was useless for him to persuade him about this matter.

"This Lingcheng is indeed not bad. For most of the past six months, life has not been sad. Now that the autumn harvest has begun, although it is not as much grain as elsewhere, it is still very good. At the very least, the people had enough to eat. We don't collect taxes now, and we can still get by. ”

After all, it's August, and it's coming again.

The two of them talked about a lot of things in the army, and Shangguan Ji actually wanted to talk about the power of the Ning family now......

But I've said too much just now, and I'm a little afraid to say it at this time.

In his opinion, the power of the Ning family has not weakened at all because of Ning Zeli's death. On the contrary, because of Miss Ning Jiu, it is now more stable.

What's more, after Ning Yuan's death, Ning Yun succeeded him, and the Weibei forces were not damaged at all. And because the general is young, Weibei also has a new look.

Even Hong Cheng is Ning Jiu's people, and his current army is Ning Jiu's people......

There are also guards in the capital city.

This is not good for His Highness!

He didn't dare to say it, and Pei Heng didn't fail to see it.

After all, they grew up together, in addition to being master and servant, they are also friends and partners.

"If you have something to say, just say it, you naturally can't take care of the backyard of the main hall, and if you say anything else, you won't blame you for the main hall." Pei Heng sighed, he really couldn't bear to see Shangguan Ji holding back his words like this.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have something to say...... Don't vomit unpleasantly......" Shangguan Ji hesitated again and again, but still said: "You are kind and kind, naturally you will not suspect the people around you." But...... The Ning family's power is even stronger than it was a few years ago. ”

"Although it is the loss of Ning Zeli, the civil official's side is a little worse. But now is the time for war. The most important thing is that the generals are powerful. Ningjia ...... Weibei, Weinan, and Nanling cities are already firm and abnormal. Now...... Hongcheng and Lingcheng were also added...... There are even ...... in Linjing City"

Shangguan Ji knelt on his knees: "The subordinates are not suspicious of the princess, but they ...... Is the princess's ability too big? The subordinates knew that Song Xiujie was originally the princess's person. Even, there is a princess's eyeliner in Shengjing City......"

"Princess...... Or is it the Ning family, is it too long? There are ten soldiers and horses in the world, and the Ning family accounts for half of the ......"

"In the past, there was still the Peng family, but now the Ning family is the dominant family...... If the Ning family has a different heart, how can His Highness deal with himself? ”

Pei Heng looked at Shangguan Ji who was kneeling at his feet, and he thought in a trance that Shangguan Ji rarely knelt.

But today, I have already knelt twice.

He thought, Shangguan Ji is for him. These words, the eldest brother also said back then.

However, at that time, the Ning family's power had not yet reached this point. At least Flying Blade is not the general of Hongcheng.

At least, the eldest brother doesn't know how powerful Zhizhi is......

Wei Ling also mentioned these words euphemistically, but he pretended not to understand.

In fact, Pei Heng is kind in his heart. But he is also a prince. Since he was a child, he has learned what the prince should learn, and even what the prince should learn.

The art of the emperor, or the art of the human heart, he didn't understand.

The current situation is not very favorable for him.

Once the Ning clan wants to rebel, even if he still has Li Chengjin, he will definitely lose.

Will the Koning Clan be opposed?

Can't he trust Zhizhi? He can't say this, he knows better than anyone that Zhizhi is by no means a family woman who only blindly obeys the family.

Her own mind is definitely better than her family.

But didn't he really worry? Naturally, there is, but no matter how worried he is, he will not doubt Zhizhi.

At first, he had, but in the past few years, he has long lost that suspicion.

"Shangguan Ji, there is a saying, this hall doesn't know how to say it. Why don't you ask you a question? Pei Heng didn't help him up, but said softly.

"Your Highness, may I ask." Shangguan Ji raised his head.

"Although you are a guard of the main hall, you can choose another life. Perhaps, like Su Mu, he is an official in Linjing. But why are you willing to put on a cloth and go into battle, born and die, besides for the sake of the main temple? ”
