On the long street, Xue Zhen was shaken by Li Yuejiao's arrogant attitude, a pair of peach blossom eyes that were easy to misunderstand him because of their gentleness, chasing Li Yuejiao's car shadow until they couldn't see it.

However, he still couldn't see Xiao Ningchen, but led the horse to the front of the martial arts iron shop, and said in a slightly higher voice:

"Is Brother Samurai here?"

In the martial arts iron shop where there was only the sound of striking iron, this time there was no sound, and the martial arts people hurriedly ran out and gave up their hands, and Wu Xiaowu, the only one who "can speak", said humbly:

"General, the little one has seen the general, what does the general command."

Xue Zhen didn't have much of a fight, and bowed back to the older Wu Laosan and the others, before he said to Wu Xiaowu: "There are some errands in the martial arts camp, let three people from your family go and have a look, and the salary is still the same as before."

"Yes, yes." Wu Xiaowu replied cautiously and sneeringly.

The rest of the Wu family also hunched their waists, looking very humble, knowing that something had happened in front of their house, they were busy returning to the shop after listening to the order, for fear of being contaminated with the disputes of the nobles.

Wu Laosan was even more afraid of delaying Xue Zhen's affairs, so he immediately arranged for his three sons, brought the tools he had, and went to the military camp north of the town when the weather was good.

On the street outside the door, Xue Zhen finished talking about business, and then he turned around and looked at King Huai, who had been staring at him, made an unexpected appearance, and said:

"Your Highness? Why is Your Highness still here?"

Xiao Ningchen's anger at this time because he had nothing to do had already reached the Heavenly Spirit Cover, but because of his rather innocent question, he was immediately deflated.

"What? Isn't this king still here?" Xiao Ningchen asked with a sneer.

Xue Zhen lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "How could it be, it's just that the minister thinks that His Royal Highness is a prince, his status is noble, and he knows etiquette and feelings, how can he brave the wind and cold and get angry for an outer room on the street?"

As soon as he said this, Qi Zhiqing, who was hiding in the car, the blood on his face faded in an instant, and his face was as white as the Anhua County City that was covered by heavy snow after the previous snowstorm.

Xiao Ningchen was choked by his clear praise and derogatory words, and simply said, "Oh? This is the reason why Zhong Jing ignores this king and does not bow to this king?"

Xue Zhen smiled: "Ah, it turns out that His Highness is angry with his ministers because of this? His Royal Highness always speaks of affection and affection, and I should see His Highness on the street now, and I should treat it as an uncle and nephew. Uncle will never give his nephew a look for an outer room, and he should understand that his nephew is in military affairs and should put his business first. In that case......

As he spoke, his face straightened up, his expression was solemn, and he saluted in the army:

"The last general, Xue Zhen, has seen His Royal Highness the King of Huai, and now the last general is in armor, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to salute. And some time ago, due to the busy military affairs, the last general had a lot of rushes, but he was unable to greet the prince in time, and I ask His Royal Highness to take the matter first and forgive."

Xiao Ningchen was still sitting upright on the horse, so angry with Xue Zhen that the hand holding the reins was extremely hard, and the joints were white.

His mother's body resurfaced in front of him.

It's all because of him that he broke his own Qingyun Road; It was because of him that his mother had to die.

And he still dares to be rude to himself in front of him!

However, although Xue Zhen's words were sarcastic, what he said was the truth, even if he wanted to.

Mr. asked him to raise the outer room to defile himself, in order to catch Xue Zhen for fooling, not to really let him really do the stupid thing of beating the nominal general Zhenbei on the street.

His mother is gone, his father is obviously no longer on his side, and from now on, he can only take what he wants.

Yes, Xiao Ningchen's gaze at Xue Zhen could quench poison, but he still relied on this clear restraint to refrain from becoming angry on the street, but turned to laugh at himself indifferently:

"It's okay, this king is just an ordinary prisoner, so where is he worthy of saying that Zhong Jing is not? After all, this Anhua county city, this northern Xinjiang, Zhong Jing is right."

Xue Zhen rarely heard a bit of clever words from Xiao Ningchen's mouth, raised his eyebrows lightly, smiled lightly and did not pick up or refute, only asked:

"Since His Highness is the supervising army, then during these days, His Highness lives in the military camp in the north of the town?"

Xiao Ningchen sneered, "What is this king? Where can I get into the Zhenbei barracks?"

Speaking of this, he was even more angry.

As a prison soldier photographed by the imperial court, he has been in Anhua City for four days, but he has not been able to enter the gate of the military camp so far!

*

In fact, Xiao Ningchen returned to Anhua County this time, with dissatisfaction from Emperor Jianlong to Xue Zhen, if it weren't for Mr. Advice, let Xiao Ningchen be low-key, light and simple, he is afraid that he can directly lead people, go straight to Anhua County, rush into the camp of the Zhenbei Army, and give Xue Zhen a dismount.

It's just that when he followed his husband's advice and secretly arrived in front of the Zhenbei military camp, Xue Zhen was not in the barracks.

And because Xue Zhen was not there, he couldn't even enter the gate of the barracks, and the sergeants on duty not only refused to say where Xue Zhen was, but also took him as a detailed work to arrest.

After he took out the holy decree appointing him to supervise the army, although the sergeants released him and called the camp general, those generals still only recognized the Zhenbei Army token and did not recognize the holy decree.

He still didn't even go into the barracks.

Forced into desperation, Xiao Ningchen could only go to the general's mansion in the city, where he met an acquaintance, General Yu, who was one of the deputy generals beside Xue Zhen.

Vice General Yu was really polite to him, but when he proposed to enter the Zhenbei military camp or stay in the general's mansion, Vice General Yu's face changed and he said: "The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, and now when the northern Xinjiang is in crisis, the last general really does not dare to act without permission, and asks His Royal Highness to stay in the post house and wait patiently for the general to come back and make arrangements."

Xiao Ningchen was so angry that he almost jumped to his feet, but he was helpless.

It was only that night that he got a note from his husband in the post house, reminding him to "be restless and not be impatient, arrogant enemy nature", so that he suddenly understood.

That's right, he is a supervisor sent by the imperial court, and now his father still trusts Xue Zhen?

If he trusted, how could he be stripped of his position as a general and sent to supervise the army?

Even if the father did not admit the matter of the blood edict in order to protect the royal face, but Xue Zhen's behavior of not obeying the edict, which emperor could bear it? new

The father did not move Xue Zhen for the time being, because there was a new victory in northern Xinjiang and the city was captured, so it was not easy to move.

Xue Zhen is a good general, but he is not the only general who can fight.

In this way, wouldn't the more miserable he is, the more he can sit on Xue Zhen to support the army and respect himself?

As a result, he and Qi Zhiqing mingled for a few days, and he also went in and out of the washer in the north of the city for a few days to watch the excitement, making a foolish appearance, but he had already secretly asked people to monitor the military camp in the north of the town and the general's mansion to contact and communicate.

It's just that although he thinks he has a plan, but at this moment, because he was annoyed by Xue Zhen, the anger caused by not being able to enter the barracks before surged up exponentially, so he said it so indifferently.

Who knew that Xue Zhen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, the military discipline of the Zhenbei Army is really still strict, so that at such a time, they can be praised by His Highness, and the last general will inevitably praise them."

Xiao Ningchen was shocked by Xue Zhen's ability to beat snakes and sticks.

I'm not! I didn't! Who praised them?

I'm obviously angry! Can't you see I'm angry?

But Xue Zhen's bright and soft peach blossom eyes, when he looked up at him, were crystal clear, as if he really didn't know that he was angry.

It was completely different from the Xue Zhen he had seen before.

Xiao Ningchen looked at those eyes, and suddenly understood the reason why the elders in the temple felt that Xue Zhen was difficult.

I also understand the gentleman's jealousy of him.

I understand that before today, Xue Zhen was cold, silent, polite and alienated to him, but-

I just don't like him.

After thinking about this, the anger in Xiao Ningchen's heart was extinguished by cold water.

It turns out that now, he has become the person Xue Zhen has to treat with heart.

He calmed down, but he was not in a hurry, and said to Qi Zhiqing in the car:

"Qing'er go back to the post house first, Zhong Jing and I will go to the army, yes."

Get down to business."

"Yes." Qi Zhiqing, who still didn't have much blood on her face, lowered her head in response, glanced at Xue Zhen who never looked at him resentfully, and shouted angrily at the maid, "What are you doing in a daze? Don't get in the car yet? What an idiot."

The little girl climbed into the car in a panic, and was secretly twisted twice by Qi Zhiqing.

She didn't dare to speak, with tears in her eyes, and kept her head down and didn't speak.

When Qi Zhiqing did these things, the corners of her eyes were on Xue Zhen's face.

However, the young general did not squint, and only dealt with Xiao Ningchen gently, and treated her as many times before, but he couldn't see her.

Qi Zhiqing hated his ignorance.

Even if it is the respect of the prince, there are countless women, and when they saw her for the first time, they were all stunned.

How can anyone not like to look at themselves?

Before lowering the curtain, Qi Zhiqing suddenly called Xue Zhen:

"General."

The voice is not coquettish, but rather provocative.

Xue Zhen then moved his gaze to her.

I saw Qi Zhiqing looking directly into Xue Zhen's eyes, and asked with a smile, "General, why didn't you burn the carriage where the concubine was sitting today?"

Xue Zhen looked at her, no joy or sorrow, and he couldn't see emotions such as disgust, but said very normally:

"The girl is the prince's person, sitting in the prince's car, and the prince guarding her side, how can the last general disobey His Highness's wishes?"

Qi Zhiqing snorted coldly, straightened her sideburns, and sneered:

"Ah, it turns out that the general is just a bully and a fearful of the hard, and he is just a person who succumbs to the powerful, and before the concubine, he was really a fair and selfless general."

After that, she held her head high, looked at Xiao Ningchen, and smiled: "Lord, the concubine will go back first, and wait for the prince to come back."

Xiao Ningchen suddenly felt a sense of pride in the field because of Qi Zhiqing's words, and said with a smile: "Qing'er, don't worry."

Xue Zhen watched Qi Zhiqing's carriage leave, noncommittal, and did not look half depressed, just turned over and got on the horse, and said to Xiao Ningchen, "Lord Wang, let's go."

Xiao Ningchen defeated a rooster in a fight, and rode his horse and Xue Zhen to the military camp outside the city.

Qi Zhiqing, who was just secretly observing everything through the crack in the car curtain, looked at Xue Zhen's indifferent back, and was so angry that she kicked the little girl twice.

Xue Zhen, now that I have a prince, I will make you regret it.

In the alley over there, Li Yuejiao was sitting next to the car and asked Du Tian with concern:

"Why did my cousin get here today? I asked Cuiliu to give my cousin laba tofu today, and my cousin can see it?"
