In the days that followed, the two seemed to have forgotten the events of that night, and got along like before, but there were still some changes, Bai Xiaofu began to help Jiang Zhen sincerely, and Bai Xiaofu also felt Jiang Zhen's change, and let go of the first master who taught him martial arts when Jiang Zhen obeyed his request.

When Jiang Zhen was sixteen years old, Jiang Zhen also left the palace to be crowned king, and Concubine De didn't know if she had been discouraged about her uncompetitive son over the years, except for letting Bai Xiaofu report Jiang Zhen's situation regularly, she didn't care much about her son. Jiang Zhen was named the King of Fu, and when Jiang Zhen heard his title, he couldn't control his emotions as before, as if Jiang Zhen seemed to have become calm all of a sudden after the incident at the age of fourteen, and he was even more silent when he only faced Bai Xiaofu, except for explaining Bai Xiaofu's tasks, he hardly talked to Bai Xiaofu much.

On the day he moved into the new palace, Bai Xiaofu could feel that Jiang Zhen was in a good mood, and he finally began to gradually get out of the cage that imprisoned him and cultivate his own strength. In the past few years, Jiang Zhen has continued to improve his strength, and now Jiang Zhen's knowledge is definitely no worse than the crown prince and the second prince who are five years older than him. Not to mention the three princes, since the death of Princess Changhui, the three princes have shown his lack of intelligence, paying more and more attention to martial arts, and gradually becoming a military general, I don't know if it is the attention of military power.

Just a few days after Jiang Zhen moved out of the palace, Concubine De wrote to ask the emperor to hand over the inspection of the customs to Jiang Zhen to be responsible, the emperor actually agreed, the court was rumored that the emperor wanted to reuse the four princes, and even the prince wrote to the emperor to inspect the customs The emperor did not agree, the prince showed great hostility to the four princes during this time, on the contrary, the second prince was still always gentle and polite, although he also wrote to the emperor to inspect the customs, but when the emperor handed over this errand to the four princes, he did not show anything, and even calmly said hello to the four princes.

This time to inspect the customs, the road is far away, the emperor lined up a team of elite soldiers to protect the four princes, the leader of this team of soldiers is called Zhao Ji, and Concubine De Niangniang is to let Jiying's father-in-law follow Jiang Zhen throughout the process. In the name of protection and promotion, in fact, it is to guard and monitor. On the other hand, Jiang Zhen only brought Bai Xiaofu, who was serving him closely, and on the first day of departure, Jiang Zhen sneered and said to Bai Xiaofu: "There is only one person in this team who is my own." After speaking, he looked at Bai Xiaofu, and then continued: "Nominally, he is also someone else's person." ”

Bai Xiaofu didn't know if Jiang Zhen's words were warning him, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to remain silent. And Bai Xiaofu also found that Jiang Zhen seemed to have increased his tolerance for himself for so many years. The master and servant gradually formed a tacit understanding, Bai Xiaofu only listened to the tone of Jiang Zhen's speech to know whether Jiang Zhen was casually speaking or tentative, and just by looking at Jiang Zhen's facial expression, he knew whether he was acting or relaxing.

Jiang Zhen obviously didn't think about what Bai Xiaofu would answer, and after speaking, he looked at the book by himself.

Although the father-in-law of Jiying who went was also in the team, he did not wait beside Jiang Zhen, but had a separate sedan chair, and a sedan chair was Jiang Zhen's, because Bai Xiaofu was Jiang Zhen's attendant, and he was very young, so he was always in Jiang Zhen's sedan chair, and Zhao Ji and other soldiers were on horses, and a team of more than 200 people went on the road like this.

Now Bai Xiaofu's dynasty is the Great Qi Dynasty, the capital of Jiangjing, now Shanxi and Shaanxi junction near the Yellow River Basin, the inspection of customs is along the Yellow River Basin to the current Yantai, Shandong Province, in the center of the Great Qi Maritime Aviation is here, named Loulan, the coastal defense and maritime trade of the Great Qi is very prosperous, Loulan is the most prosperous place in the Great Qi in addition to Jiangjing.

The first half of the journey is on a dirt road, because the river is too fast to drive a large boat, and after this half of the journey, you can take the waterway.

It has been nearly a month since the departure, and in a few days you can change the waterway to hurry, it is now the hot season in July, and it could have been a faster trip, but Jiang Zhen disliked the hot weather again and again, and asked for a stop and rest in the process of successful delay, and every time Jiang Zhen went to a prosperous place Jiang Zhen had to go there to play in the flower street and willow lane, if it wasn't for Jiying's father-in-law to follow Jiang Zhen this trip, the backyard of the palace could be filled.

On this day, Zhao Ji proposed to Jiang Zhen that he could arrive as soon as possible by taking the small road instead of taking the official road, because the delay on the road was too long, and now he had to step up the road, Jiang Zhen rolled up his trouser leg, put one leg on the desk, and had just been fed a peeled grape by Bai Xiaofu in his mouth, raised his eyebrows, spit the grape seeds in the tray handed over by Bai Xiaofu, and said twice: "Lord Zhao is responsible for hurrying, this king is responsible for patrolling, Lord Zhao is not in a hurry, to the point that he wants this king to carry this black pot with you, this king has also been very hot in the past two days, If Lord Zhao could hurry with all his heart, this king would probably have already boarded the boat, so why endure the hot weather. ”

Zhao Ji's face darkened when he heard this, but it was the prince in front of him, and he couldn't offend him, so he had to say: "The minister is guilty, and the minister retires." ”

As soon as Zhao Ji got off Jiang Zhen's carriage, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and rude scolding from the carriage: "What a stupid gelding dog, you can't peel a grape yet, idiot." The dog slave barked twice to the master. ”

"Want Want!"

"Haha......"

The road is very bumpy, Jiang Zhen has to stick his head out of the sedan chair from time to time to scold a few words, Zhao Ji pretended not to hear, continued to hurry, and did not know where Zhao Ji found this road, the road is getting narrower and narrower, surrounded by small hills, not even a village, this day Jiang Zhen is complaining in the sedan chair, the team in a hurry suddenly stopped, the carriage suddenly shook and almost fell Jiang Zhen from the couch, Jiang Zhen was so angry that he didn't even wear shoes, he waved the curtain barefoot and poked his head out and shouted: "Zhao Ji, you have a problem, what car suddenly stopped!" ”

But when he saw the scene outside the sedan chair, Jiang Zhen frowned, stared at Zhao Ji, who surrounded the two carriages with the soldiers, and said coldly: "What do you want to do, Lord Zhao, do you want to rebel!" I'm the prince, and Lord Zhao really wants to kill this prince. ”

Zhao Ji laughed twice and said, "Prince, I'm so scared, but I have a legitimate reason to kill you, do you know?" The four princes want to kill you but no one else, it is the current saint, your own father. After speaking, you laughed loudly, and there was a twisted pleasure in the laughter, as if expressing that he could now ride on the head of a prince and kill a noble prince. In this way, you can get closer to the pinnacle of power.

Jiang Zhen's expression changed instantly, his face was incredulous, tears dripped from his eyes one by one, and then he seemed to suddenly realize his situation, his whole body was trembling, and he looked at Zhao Ji who showed a sneering expression at him in horror, and kept muttering: "Don't kill me, I'm the prince, you can't kill me, what do you want, money?" I have money, I have a lot of money, give it to you, don't kill me, please. ”

At this time, in another sedan chair, Jiying's father-in-law was also restrained by two people and walked out of the carriage, Bai Xiaofu has always been curious, what did Jiying do before he was not a eunuch, his majesty can't be concealed even as a eunuch, Bai Xiaofu feels that he should be a general, not a eunuch every time he sees him. Just like now, it is clear that he is being restrained, but he is still unyielding, and his back is straight.

On the other hand, Jiang Zhen is called miserable, although Bai Xiaofu can see that all Jiang Zhen's movements and expressions are pretended, but such a misdemeanor still makes Bai Xiaofu feel unbearable to look at directly, tears and snot are smeared, and his body is even more trembling like a sifting chaff, using life to interpret what is a qualified wreck.

Zhao Ji saw Jiang Zhen's cowardly appearance, and smiled even more presumptuously, "Do you want the four princes to try to get under the minister's crotch, maybe the minister may spare His Highness's life as soon as he is happy." Zhao Ji's smile became distorted. Raise one leg and step on the stone next to it, leaving room for one person to drill through.

Bai Xiaofu paid attention to Jiang Zhen's expression when he heard Zhao Ji's words, he was afraid that Jiang Zhen would impulsively expose his strength, and he didn't want to see Jiang Zhen really bow his head to the person in front of him, Bai Jiang Zhen's expression suddenly became sluggish, as if he was making some decision, his hand behind his back suddenly clenched, Bai Xiaofu knew that Jiang Zhen couldn't resist now, and it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn't leave a living mouth if he resisted now, although Jiang Zhen's martial arts were also very strong now, but it was impossible to fight against more than 200 people. And the depth of Zhao Ji's martial arts is unknown, and it is too reckless to expose his identity now.

Zhao Ji was dissatisfied: "What? The four princes will not be proud of themselves, but it is just a bubble of urine sprinkled by the emperor. The four princes can think clearly, the minister can only give this one chance, as long as the four princes drill through, the minister will let His Royal Highness go. ”

Jiang Zhen's eyes changed from sluggish to cold, on the verge of rage, at this time, the anger that Jiang Zhen usually hid in his body suddenly emanated from his body like opening the floodgates, Bai Xiaofu's heart was terrible, Jiang Zhen couldn't bear it, before Jiang Zhen could speak, Bai Xiaofu pounced on Zhao Ji and bit Zhao Ji's wrist, Zhao Ji didn't confront Jiang Zhen in pain, and waved Bai Xiaofu away, Bai Xiaofu's small body was thrown out of a distance of more than three meters, which shows Zhao Ji's strength, Just when everyone was surprised by Bai Xiaofu's performance, Jiying directly kicked the sedan chair, took off in the air, and then landed in front of Zhao Ji, clamped Zhao Ji's neck with one hand, and picked Zhao Ji up, before Zhao Ji struggled, twisted his neck like one side, Zhao Ji hung on Jiying's hand like this, and the other soldiers saw this, they all panicked, and a few even wanted to scatter and escape, only to see Jiying take off again, and at some point held the arrow on Zhao Ji's body in his hand, and then saw a sharp arrow flying towards those who wanted to escape, Hearing only a series of popping sounds, several people fell to the ground in response. This hand succeeded in deterring the other soldiers, who did not dare to attack or flee, and stood trembling in place. Ji Ying fell back to the ground steadily, glanced around coldly, and said lightly: "The fourth prince passed through Tumu Mountain, met mountain bandits on the road, and Zhao Ji and others died in order to protect the prince from breaking through, do you understand?" "Even if he became a eunuch, his voice was not sharp at all, and when he shouted loudly, there was a kind of grandeur that came out of his chest.

Jiying walked to Jiang Zhen's side, helped up Jiang Zhen, who looked stupid, and said, "Let Your Highness be frightened, Your Highness, please set off." ”
