Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Dragon Falls into the Quagmire

"That's right, this royal lady is no match for the palace, and the battle between the maids alone is already a sword and a sword.

It is even more difficult to imagine how the concubines of each palace ascended to the throne in that huge palace. ”

Si Yanyin said thoughtfully.

"Princess, this is not the time for you to think about it, now, how to grasp the third prince is the most important thing."

"Hold on to the third son?"

Here again and again, this Mama Zeng has simply become the matchmaker of the fox.

"I remember what I told you before, the third son is your backer and the hope of Kun Jiang."

"What does he have to do with Kun Jiang? Even if he ascends to the throne one day, as the king of the chariot, it is a fluke not to attack Kun Jiang. ”

"Whether you attack or not, whether you help or not, it depends on the relationship between the third prince and you......"

"With me?" Si Yanyin pointed at herself in disbelief: "Mama! I don't understand, why do you always think that Zhan Xiaokong can become the emperor?

And in the future, will he help Jiang Guo? ”

"Nature is to think with the heart......"

"Mama, don't be sloppy with me, let's not say that the eldest son is the prince's most favored son, and the second son is not a fuel-efficient lamp,

Although I have been with the third prince for many years and know that he is deeply hidden, how can the two mountains in front of him fall so easily? ”

Si Yanyin argued with reason, she must use Mama Zeng's words, why should she be so firm that Zhan Xiaokong can have the last laugh.

"Child, I once told you that there are no absolutes in this world, there is no strong man who will win the power, and there is no time when the weak will not turn over.

If the qi is exhausted, the karma is retribution, and this car will also have a day of destruction, don't look at these two mountains are now firmly stopped in front of the career of the third son,

If the time comes, overnight, he will be able to make a landslide and the earth crack. ”

"Mama...... That's nonsense, isn't it? The third son is weak, what ability does he have to become the king? ”

Si Yanyin shook her head, she still didn't believe that Zhan Xiaokong had such great ability.

"Can you, it's not you and me who have the final say, it's God who has the final say, it's the third son who has the final say, and you have followed him for many years.

Do you think he's a mediocre and useless person? Mama Zeng stared at her and asked.

"Naturally not, although the third prince is low-key and quiet on weekdays, I know that he is thoughtful and the city is quite deep.

He stayed in his study all day, and he was by no means escaping from the world, but like a ......"

"Like what?"

"It's like you're planning something......."

"That's right, he didn't give up on himself, gave up the throne, didn't he? That's all I can say to you.

Talking too much will only hurt you! But the princess must remember that your fate is linked to the fate of the third son. ”

"Why? How did my fate end up with him? ”

Si Yanyin was still confused, and she didn't understand what Mama Zeng meant.

"Ahem, cough, I'm tired, I have to sleep, don't talk to the princess, the princess left her clothes here, and there will be a maid to wash them in the afternoon......"

"Mama......"

There was only silence in response to her, she knew Grandma Zeng's temperament, if she didn't want to say it, she couldn't ask how she could not.

"Then I'll go first, Mama have a good rest."

Si Yanyin came out of the laundry yard and went to the back garden, the flower that Zhan Xiaokong planted had already passed the flowering period and began to wither.

She was thinking about Mama Zeng's unbelievable words in her heart, and her mind was in chaos, why was the fate of her and the fox prince entangled?

Was it Mama Zeng's casual words, or did she know something?

No matter, no matter, don't think about it for now, wait for the fox to come back, and probe his mouth.

In the southern military camp, Zhan Xiaokong was resting in the camp tent.

"Third brother, don't be like those soldiers, they don't read much all day, they only know how to shout and kill."

Zhan Xiuxian strode in from outside the tent.

"It's okay, I've long been used to cold words, and they are not malicious, they just said some facts.

I really have no experience in war, let alone strategy, and it is understandable for the soldiers to question me......."

"I believe in you, don't always be arrogant, they don't know a few big words, how can they be qualified to mock you?"

Zhan Xiuxian sat on the chair with his ass, looking angry.

"Second brother, what is at stake on this battlefield is the lives of thousands of soldiers, the comfort of the people and even the peace of the country.

I can't make a mistake in the slightest, and the third brother and I are also worried at this time, worried about ......"

"Don't worry, this rebellion in the south is nothing at all, but a few foreign tribes are making trouble, and it's a big deal to kill them on the spot!"

"Can the Holy One give an order?"

"Humph! will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected! We just need to quell the riot and give the emperor an explanation. ”

"What the second brother said makes sense......"

Zhan Xiaokong seemed to be frightened by Zhan Xiuxian's decisiveness, and he was a little panicked for a while.

Zhan Xiuxian also realized Zhan Xiaokong's embarrassment, and laughed even more arrogantly.

"Third brother, you still have too little knowledge, you only know how to squat at home and study, and everyone is about to read stupidly! In the future, follow the second brother to do things, don't be afraid! ”

Zhan Xiuxian patted him on the shoulder: "You rest for a while, and after half an hour, I will ask someone to push you to the big tent to discuss again." ”

"Good...... Second brother walks slowly......."

It wasn't until Zhan Xiuxian left the camp that Zhan Xiaokong put away his panicked expression, and his eyes became gloomy.

Don't be too sharp, so Zhan Xiuxian will definitely distract himself and guard against him,

One Zhan Tai Xian has not yet dealt with, and he can't let himself be exposed to the enemy.

can only pretend to be stupid and appear to be short-sighted, so that Zhan Xiuxian will neglect to spy on him.

In the past few days, he has even needed to be hugged around when he goes to the toilet, doesn't he want Zhan Xiuxian to completely believe that he is not pretending to be lame?

His second brother is very suspicious, and if he wants to gain his trust, it will not happen overnight.

Until then, everything must be done without loopholes.

Those who achieve great things can endure again and again, and can bend and stretch, Zhan Xiuxian is a person who stands on the tip and can't be a grass-tailed person, he will only expose his shortcomings to the enemy.

Want to be an emperor? You should have the perseverance that only the Son of Heaven has!

Real gold is not afraid of fire, and real dragons should not be afraid of quagmire......

In the afternoon, Zhan Xiaokong was pushed into the big tent of the military camp by the people sent by Zhan Xiuxian, and the soldiers had already started to discuss.

Seeing that Zhan Xiaokong was pushed in, Deputy General Ke, who was sitting at the door, spoke first.

"Why are these three sons so late? Let's wait a long time. ”

"I beg your pardon." Zhan Xiaokong smiled crampedly.

"I said Adjutant General Ke, what's the matter with you, the third son suffers from a leg disease and has difficulty walking, what's wrong with coming late?

Don't find fault......"

It was Luo Hu, a confidant of General Luojing, who was sent by the Holy Lord to quell the rebellion with them.

"Leg disease? Hahaha, what's a leg disease? I've only heard of eye and throat problems. ”

Vice Admiral Ke chuckled when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at? This is a barracks, not a kiln that you often visit! ”

Zhan Xiuxian opened the tent with an angry face.

As soon as he arrived outside the tent, he heard Luohu's turtle grandson and his lieutenant singing and sarcastically singing and sarcastic.

"If you dare to make trouble on my territory again, military law will deal with it!"

"General Zhan, we're just joking again...... It's just a joke......"

Vice General Ke saw Zhan Xiuxian's expression of wanting to kill, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

Although he and Na Luohu were specially sent by the saint, Zhan Xiuxian and Zhan Xiaokong are both princes.

Besides, Zhan Xiuxian has always been ruthless and resolute, offending him too much, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Want to joke? Go back to your northern frontier! ”

Zhan Xiuxian glared at him fiercely.

"The third prince and I were ordered to come to the southern border, who is not convinced, and I will go to face the saint to denounce it!"

“......”

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe anymore.

"Don't waste time, hurry up and study tomorrow's battle plan! Delayed timing,

I sent the troublemakers to the thugs for supper. ”

"Yes...... Be...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Deputy General Ke, who looked snarky just now, was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat.

"Come here and sit beside me."

Zhan Xiuxian motioned to him.

"Now, Zou Yan, you report on the situation of the three tribes."

"I sent spies to explore the southern border, and now there are more than 1,000 people from the three tribes, and they are stationed at the border with Kunjiang."

"Are you saying that they have left the planned area and run into the junction of Xun Che and Kun Jiang?"

"Yes......"

"Why don't they just sneak into the territory of Xi Yan Kingdom and hand it over to their Wind Arrow Army! It saves us a lot of hands! ”

Luohu pursed his lips, the saint was really confused,

It would be overkill and a waste of time to send him to quell the riots with these two princes.

"Then leave this errand to General Luo, you go and bring the thugs into Xi Yan, if you accidentally die heroically,

I will also say a few kind words for you in front of the Holy One, and maybe you can be rewarded with a seal and let you die a well-deserved death? ”

Zhan Xiuxian said coldly.

"Ahem! Cough! Am I just talking......"

This Zhan Xiuxian really didn't save him any face, but he was also a close confidant of General Luo.

On weekdays, no one dares to give a face to the general in the court, but this Zhan Xiuxian, it's not a bad thing,

Relying on the power of Prince Zhan to tilt the government and the opposition, he will be a blessing!

"If you don't have the guts, don't delay everyone's time."

Zhan Xiuxian's cold words fell down again, and his anger almost spurted blood on the spot.

"I remember that the southern border of Xunche and Kunjiang are on the precipitous terrain, and there are large swamps?" Zhan Xiaokong asked.

"Yes, it's a swamp near Lake Justice, and the tribal mob is now two kilometers away from the swamp."

Zhan Xiuxian's lieutenant Zou Yan replied.

"Wetlands and swamps are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"However, even with arrows, it is very difficult to hit the target......

Zhan Xiuxian touched his chin thoughtfully.

"It's better to ...... Drive them into the swamp! ”

"That's not right, is it?" Luohu stopped doing it: "The emperor told us to quell the war, didn't he tell us to kill them all?" ”

"The southern rebellion has been going on for some time, and the court has not denied them a chance, but they have taken the opportunity to threaten them to increase the livestock that they have been given every year.

The budget for negotiation was already exceeded, and the reason why the Holy Lord asked us to settle this matter was because we didn't want to entangle with them again.

Isn't it the intention of the Holy God to clean it up? ”

Zhan Xiuxian's words were so blocked that no one present could refute them, but did the Holy One really mean this?
