Jiang Zhen smiled at Bai Xiaofu and said, "I don't know, but every coincidence of the royal family is produced under a precise plan, and coincidence is only the inevitable result of the plan, don't think about it, go to sleep." ”

Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu blew out the oil lamp and went to bed, Jiang Zhen lay on the bed with his arms on his pillow, and looked sideways at Bai Xiaofu sleeping beside him.

"I'll treat you well."

The moonlight reflected Bai Xiaofu's face a little pale, Bai Xiaofu would unconsciously curl up his body when he slept, protecting the softest part of his body, exposing his spine to the outside, just like him, he seemed to have a hard shell, and he was steady and confident in everything, as if nothing could bother him, and his calm appearance seemed to represent his cold and hard heart. But no, I still remember the first time he begged himself to let go of the master who Concubine De found for himself to teach martial arts, he didn't remember anything he said that day, he only remembered a bunch of seemingly reasonable reasons, a slight frown and the corners of his lips between each reason, at that time he felt that he was pretending, there must be other intentions, but now after going through all kinds of things, he realized that he was really worried about that master.

Jiang Zhen was looking at Bai Xiaofu's side face and was fascinated, at this moment, the moonlight outside the window was suddenly blocked by something, and then the thing moved away, just for a moment, Jiang Zhen knew that someone must have passed by outside the window just now, who was it? Is it someone from the outside or someone from yourself? Is it the idea of fighting this time again?

Jiang Zhen hurriedly got up and gently pushed open the window, but he was a little hesitant in his heart, he only showed Qian Sanjin archery, he didn't want to expose his ability in other aspects, after all, a hunter's archery skills can be explained, but if he can also do light skills, then it will definitely arouse suspicion. Besides, he just wanted to use this caravan to reach the border smoothly and didn't want to cause more trouble, besides, there were night patrol thugs downstairs, if this person was fighting for goods, the idea would definitely be discovered by others, just when Jiang Zhen was about to close the gently opened window again, the figure flashed through the window again, this time Jiang Zhen recognized this person, this person is the Wu Gang that he and Bai Xiaofu talked about just now.

Jiang Zhen followed Wu Gang as soon as he made a light effort, the window seemed to be gently blown open by the wind and quietly closed by the wind, and no one noticed the faint opening and closing in the quiet night.

Jiang Zhen followed Wu Gang all the way to the gate of the capital, Jiang Zhen also saw that this Wu Gang seemed to want to lead him to come with him, at first he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up and deliberately slowed down, and then found that his light skills were better than him, so he quickly moved towards the direction of the capital.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Jiang Zhen really couldn't suppress his curiosity, chased to Wu Gang's side, and asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Wu Gang didn't look at Jiang Zhen who was still hurrying by himself, but the words that came out of his mouth surprised Jiang Zhen.

"Your Highness can not come."

Jiang Zhen squinted his eyes in an instant, and knocked Wu Gang to the ground with one punch, Wu Gang wiped the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, staggered to his feet, and knelt down facing Jiang Zhen, "Caomin Wu Gang is the eldest son of Wu Fang Geng, due to the discord between the father of the Yu family and severed the father-son relationship with him, and now the family is in great trouble, and none of the hundreds of people in the family survived. The grass people only begged His Highness to help the grass people steal their father's body and bury him properly. If His Highness can help the grass people, the grass people will die for His Highness. ”

Jiang Zhen said: "How can I believe you, you already know my identity." How can you not guess why I have fallen to this point, I am just a deposed prince, how can I be worthy of your allegiance, and besides, why do you want me to save you with you, and why do you want me to save you from you. I just want to live a plain life, but only if you die. ”

As he spoke, he rushed forward, the move was fatal, and the move was too violent, forcing Wu Gang to retreat and try to protect himself. After a few moves, Jiang Zhen had almost tested Wu Gang's strength, and Wu Gang could only avoid Jiang Zhen's attack dangerously, the sweat on his head was oozing a layer, and his breathing was a little disordered.

When Jiang Zhen stopped, Wu Gang even stabilized his figure, Jiang Zhen sneered and said: "Just like you, even if I want to use people, you are inevitably too weak." "Jiang Zhen is actually exaggerating, after all, he really doesn't have his own people now, although Wu Gang's martial arts are weaker than himself, but he can be regarded as a talent that can be recruited, and he just wants to test this Wu Gang.

Wu Gang calmed down his chaotic aura, stood up and said to Jiang Zhen: "Your Highness just wants to test the strength of the grass people, if you really want the grass people's lives, the grass people would have died in the hands of Your Highness just now, why do you have the life to live until now." ”

Wu Gang now just wants to win Jiang Zhen's trust earlier, he doesn't know the depth of Jiang Zhen's strength, he can recognize Jiang Zhen only because he was lucky enough to see Jiang Zhen when he lived in the capital, but he was only very surprised to see someone with Jiang Zhen's face similar in the ring, but the temperament is really very different, and later saw Jiang Zhen's amazing archery skills in the ring, Wu Gang had a strong suspicion. Later, after many inquiries, I gradually realized the strangeness of the matter, and what really confirmed what I was thinking was that Jiang Zhen and Bai Xiaofu secretly muttered their words when they first arrived at the Moon Tower that day. It would be impossible for an ordinary country man to notice the subtle features on his body, but these two people noticed him at a glance, especially the girl, although he couldn't guess what the relationship between Jiang Zhen and this girl was, but he was indeed very smart at a young age. If Jiang Zhen is surrounded by such talents, then it will be very difficult for him to gain Jiang Zhen's trust.

His father's current squire of the Left Military Department, everyone knows that the Shangshu of the Military Department is the mother family of the Third Prince, so they all think that his father Wu Fang Geng is also the person of the Third Prince, but no one knows that the Wu family has actually been in contact with the Second Prince a long time ago.

The last time there was a war with the border Xiongnu was ten years ago, that was the second prince was only ten years old, and he already had a mature thinking and style of acting, at that time the martial arts Geng was just a small matter, and at that time it was also a problem with the grain and grass escort level, and the military department Shangshu pushed the problem to the two military squires who were under his hands, but the left military department squire at that time was the mother of the three princes, and the two of them had a lot of unclean things in their hands, and they knew each other, and finally pushed all the faults to the martial arts who were a small matter, Wu Fanggeng was also conscientious and conscientious as a mid-state minister at that time, and now he was disheartened by this frame. Kneeling straight in front of the emperor, in fact, as a small matter, he is not qualified to see the emperor who is high, this position determines the life and death of the next person, but for him or the life and death of others, it is too shallow, so even if he kills by mistake one day, it is not a pity.

The emperor present was instructing his second son in his homework, and he never noticed the decadent man kneeling on the ground.

A majestic and loving voice sounded overhead, "What do I think of the war at the border now, as a monarch?" ”

The second prince's immature and serious Tongyin replied: "As a wise monarch, you must have a rational choice of talents, listen to the suggestions and opinions of your courtiers, but also maintain a clear and firm center and make decisive decisions. Jiang Xiao glanced at Wu Fang Geng, who was kneeling down, and continued: "Punish the greedy and beat the villain, and you can't let the rear delay the battle ahead." ”

The emperor on the throne seemed to be very satisfied with his son's answer, and laughed and said, "He is worthy of being a lonely son." ”

Then his tone changed, and he said in a cold tone to Wu Fanggeng, who was kneeling down: "Do you understand?" Convicted! ”

Wu Fanggeng is now like a fish pressed to the brink of death on a chopping board, and has lost the right to struggle. Now I just hope that my family will not be affected by myself.

Wu Fanggeng had no choice but to say: "The minister is guilty, but the minister's family is innocent, but the minister himself commits the sin, and the minister bears it alone." ”

At this time, the second prince Jiang Xiao interjected: "Father, the son forgot to say a little just now, can you allow the son to correct his mistakes, and add one." ”

The emperor had no choice but to look at this proud son again and said, "Xiao'er, say anything you want." ”

Jiang Xiao smiled at his father and said to his father in a childish voice: "As a king, in addition to making decisive decisions, you must also ensure the correctness of decisions, and even the correctness of decisions is more important than decisiveness. After speaking, he didn't forget to attach a sweet and proud smile and asked the emperor: "Does my father think that the son is right?" The appearance of a little adult made the emperor laugh again.

After laughing, he asked with relief: "My son feels that something is wrong?" ”

Jiang Xiao saw that the emperor was amused by his words, a little happy and as if he felt that he couldn't show it, he blushed a little, and forced himself to calm down: "Erchen just thinks that it is impossible to cause such a big loss in a small matter, after all, in addition to the grain and grass in the matter, there must be a unified inspection and verification by the Ministry of War, and after ensuring that it is correct, the squire of the Ministry of War and the secretary of the Ministry of War can sign in turn before it can be transported from the capital to the border pass." Now that the accident is just a small matter, doesn't it mean that this batch of grain and grass has not been reviewed by the squire of the military department and the secretary of the military department in turn? Isn't that a paradox. Erchen thinks that even if there is really a fault in this matter, it will not be all wrong, and now the grain and grass are the lives of the border soldiers, and Erchen believes that his father will be able to find out the moth who really wants to harm Daqi. As he spoke, he clenched his small fists tightly.

The emperor lovingly stroked Jiang Xiao's head and said to Jiang Xiao: "My son, Daqi is also lucky." ”

On that day, Wu Fang Geng miraculously left the palace, and then the emperor ordered that the matter should be treated strictly and that he should give an explanation to the frontier soldiers. Later, the soldier captured a sneaky soldier and learned from him that it was the military department Shangshu who mixed a large amount of sand into the grain for personal gain, and then transported the excess grain to the border to sell.

The emperor Long Yan was furious, and beheaded the family of the military department, and the left military department was promoted to become the current military department secretary.
