Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bandits of the Southeast

Mu Fan asked, "Last time I heard you say, Zhao Yanyan is the daughter of King Fu. ”

"That's right, Yanyan doesn't like Uncle Huang very much."

"Why?"

Zhao Jianyan said: "Uncle Huang is dissolute and uninhibited, and often wanders into Fengyue places. Yanyan has a strong personality and has a very bad relationship with Uncle Huang. Why did you suddenly ask about her? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little curious."

Zhao Jianyan stood up with the tree and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

Mu Fan shook his head, "It's gone." ”

"I left first. The proposal you gave me, I will think about it again, think it through, and I will give you an answer. After Zhao Jianyan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Mu Fan said: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

As it grew dark, he hung his chair outside and returned to the house, where he saw a striking red food box on the table.

Mu Fan opened the food box and stretched out his head to take a look. Inside are some fruits, which are covered with ice cubes and there is almost no melting ice water under the ice cubes. He lifted the food box, and at the bottom of the food box he saw a small formation, which should have prevented the ice from melting.

When Zhao Jianyan instructed the servants to take the fruit, it was some time since now. The servants brought the fruit up, and Bacheng saw that Mu Fan and Zhao Jianyan were talking about it, so they didn't dare to disturb, so they put it on the table in the house.

Mu Fan ate a few grapes, and he was very refreshing. After eating the fruit, I took a hot bath, breathed for half an hour, and then slept happily.

It's a comfortable life, and even more so if no one disturbs him sleeping.

Zhao Jianyan said in the evening that he would think about it, and within a few hours, he couldn't wait to wake up Mu Fan.

"Yan Qing, I think clearly, find a big tree to enjoy the shade, and just find a big brother!" His voice was very excited, and unlike the anger of the day, it was pure joy at the moment.

Mu Fan shook his head and said, "Great! ”

"When Zhou Xun proposed it before, I thought about it, but I can't recruit people now. I decided to defect to Big Brother for the time being and slowly develop my power. Zhao Jianyan smiled, "How do you say that there is a saying, selling dog meat on a sheep's head, is that what you say?" ”

Mu Fan said: "There is such a sentence. ”

Zhao Jianyan said: "My father successfully quelled the rebellion and established his prestige in the government and the opposition, and this autumn hunt is preparing for this autumn, which is our opportunity." ”

Mu Fan wondered, "What chance?" ”

"Father doesn't have time to prepare for autumn hunting, I want to try, what do you think?"

"Help prepare for the autumn hunt?"

Zhao Jianyan nodded and smiled: "That's right, this matter is done, and it can be seen by my father and the Manchu Dynasty, what a good opportunity!" ”

Mu Fan said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this matter is indeed an opportunity, what do you want to do, what about the other princes?" ”

His words poured cold water on Zhao Jianyan, and Zhao Jianyan wrinkled: "I heard...... The eldest brother and the second brother also want to do it. ”

"In that case, I suggest that Your Highness release kindness." Mu Fan said softly.

"You want me to give up this opportunity?" Zhao Jianyan was obviously reluctant.

Mu Fan said: "Yes, everyone is robbing, and His Highness is afraid that it will be difficult to grab it." As...... Be a favor and give it to the prince. ”

Seeing that Zhao Jianyan was silent, he continued: "If Your Highness wants to borrow the power of the eldest prince, you have to express your mind first. Both the eldest prince and the second prince want to do it, and His Royal Highness should strongly recommend the eldest prince. ”

Zhao Jianyan was a little embarrassed, and after being silent for a long time, he coughed lightly: "I took the initiative to withdraw from this matter and support the eldest brother." ”

Mu Fan said: "There are so many things to solve in the world, and it is not difficult to find a few things that we can do." ”

"The southeast of the imperial court wants to suppress bandits, I'll go."

Mu Fan asked, "When are you going?" ”

"Time...... Let me think about it. Zhao Jianyan lowered his head and thought for a while, "Go before the autumn hunt." ”

"So early!"

"Where's the morning?"

Mu Fan said: "Your Highness doesn't wait for the end of the autumn hunt before going?" ”

Zhao Jianyan waved his hand and said: "After the autumn hunt, it is too slow, and the purpose of the father is to deter all parties, if you can't handle the autumn hunt, it is better to go to the southeast to suppress the bandits." ”

"Where's the southeast?"

"Jiezhou."

Mu Fan asked again: "Is the bandit serious problem?" ”

Zhao Jianyan said: "It's not too serious, but it's always incomplete." Every time they were suppressed, they would be silent for a while, and after the limelight, they would come back again. ”

"There are not enough troops in Jiezhou?"

Zhao Jianyan said: "It should be enough, Jiezhou is one of the origins of several major crystal ores in the country, and there are a lot of troops guarding it." The bandits did not dare to be excessively rampant, but the banditry could not be eradicated. ”

Mu Fan asked, "What is the topography of Jiezhou?" ”

"I don't know, I've only heard of banditry, but I haven't noticed it." Zhao Jianyan took out a map from the storage ring, looked at it briefly, and put it back again. He smiled: "I took it wrong, the one above is not from Jiezhou." ”

He took it back and forth three times, and finally found the map of Jiezhou.

Mu Fan took the map, spread it out and looked at it carefully, and said, "This map is really fine enough. ”

Zhao Jianyan said: "This is what I can touch, there are better and more refined ones at home, but unfortunately I don't have the right to touch them." ”

Mu Fan looked at the map of Jiezhou and found that the terrain was rugged, mountainous and hilly. The reason for the constant troubles may be related to the topography.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to go into the mountains to suppress bandits!" He pointed to the map and said to Zhao Jianyan.

The mountains are vast, the woods are abundant, and if you go deeper, spirit beasts are rampant. Deeper down, not only bandits are a threat, but powerful spirit beasts are also enough to pose a threat to the army.

Zhao Jianyan said: "After solving the bandit problem in Jiezhou, we got not only the praise of our father, but also the favor of the local wealthy businessmen." It's hard to do! ”

Mu Fan persuaded: "Let's figure it out first, we have more information, and it's not too late to do it." ”

"I'm not going to ask my father for my father's life for the time being, I'm going to go to the military department these days to find out the situation of the army over there. You're right, this matter is urgent, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

"Your subordinates wait for the good news of Your Highness."

Zhao Jianyan said: "I'm not good at leading troops, and when the time comes, I should be a minister, and I can only help supervise this matter." You can take a look at the specific war, and it's no problem for me to help you support the team. Of course, there may not be many people. ”

"Your Highness Xie, your subordinates have learned the military formation, but they have never used it." Mu Fan paused, and then said, "So...... The subordinates are not ready. ”

"Then put it off, anyway, we are young, and we have time." Zhao Jianyan laughed, "Father's body doesn't look bad, at least it's not as bad as expected, I can wait, don't be in a hurry." ”

Mu Fan nodded and said, "With His Highness's words, his subordinates will rest assured." ”

"Since you don't lead the troops, then follow me, and if you encounter something when you suppress the bandits, we will deal with it together."

"Yes."

Zhao Jianyan patted Mu Fan's shoulder, "Hey, you go to bed first, I'm so excited, I can't help it!" ”
