Chapter 472: The Imperial Driver's Expedition (3)

King Pingnan's words completely ignored Xie Xun, the coach, and Xie Xun was not annoyed. Compared to King Pingnan, who was completely unlikely to defect to the Xie clan, Xie Xun was more interested in the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Although the Marquis of Zhongyong promised to marry his daughter to the fourth prince, he delayed sending his daughter to Beijing for a long time, and his attitude towards the battle for the heir was ambiguous. The key is that Mrs. Xie once said that the loyal and brave marquis has a heart that worries about the country and the people. From his own pocket to send troops to exterminate the bandits in the two lakes, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

Such people are worth fighting for!

Xie Xun smiled at the Zhongyong Marquis.

The fifty-year-old Marquis of Zhongyong, medium height, perhaps because of his perennial military training, has dark and rough skin, hard facial features, and a fierce atmosphere. With this face, frowning slightly, children can be scared and cry by him.

Perhaps he didn't expect Xie Xun to be so kind to him, so he was stunned, and then nodded at Xie Xun in return, but he didn't mean to be close.

Xie Xun was about to go up and chat for a few words, when Mr. Youya rushed over, "Brother Liu Xian, you are here!" I've made all the hot tea, come with me for a cup of tea to warm up. It's a cold day. ”

Marquis Zhongyong glanced at the direction of the emperor and King Pingnan, and hesitated, Mr. Youya pulled his arm, and dragged it away, "Let's go, the emperor has me over there." ”

Marquis Zhongyong followed Mr. Youya away, but he didn't look at Xie Xun.

Jiuwan asked softly, "Lord Shizi, what should I do now?" ”

The person was dragged away by the old thief, wouldn't the prince's plan be in vain?

Xie Xun looked calm.

If the Marquis of Zhongyong was caught by Mr. Youya in a few words, this person would be nothing more than that, and it would not be worth his waste of thought at all.

In Mr. Youya's tent, there was already a young man sitting at this time. As soon as the two of them came in, the young man stood up and respectfully saluted the Marquis Zhongyong, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”

Zhongyong Hou frowned suspiciously at first, and only then did he understand what was going on when he saw the other party's dress?

Four Princes!

"Don't dare to be." The loyal and brave marquis made a royal salute to the four princes.

The faces of the Four Princes and Mr. Youya changed slightly.

What do you mean by not daring to be?

Do you think that your daughter has not yet married and dare not call herself her father-in-law, or do you think that the position of the side concubine is lowly and refuses to recognize this family? Mr. Youya couldn't help muttering in his heart. However, he did not show his face, and calmly invited the Marquis of Zhongyong to take a seat.

During the march, Xie Shizi announced that alcohol was forbidden and that he could only be entertained with tea. Fortunately, the man's craftsmanship is not bad. "Mr. Youya sandwiched a piece of braised pork for the Marquis of Zhongyong," Brother Liu tasted. ”

"It's time to ban alcohol on the march." The Marquis of Zhongyong did not shirk, picked up the braised pork, stuffed it in the king's mouth, and chewed it heavily, "I have been marching in a hurry these days, and I have eaten dry food on the road." When I saw this braised pork today, I was really hungry and hungry. ”

After saying that, he kept eating for a while, without even raising his head. This way of eating made Mr. Youya, who wanted to talk to him, embarrassed to bother, and could only silently watch Zhongyong Marquis take a big bite of rice.

Finally waited for the Marquis Zhongyong to put down the bamboo chopsticks, and the fourth prince hurriedly spoke, "Father-in-law, this palace has admired my father-in-law for a long time, and I can finally see it today." ”

Marquis Zhongyong blinked a little stunned, "Your Highness admires a martial artist? ”

Hiccup, what the four princes wanted to say was choked back by this hiccup.

Is this man a fool?

Can't you see that he's forcibly trapping almost?

If he didn't need the protection of the 80,000 people brought by the Marquis of Zhongyong, he really wanted to leave.

Mr. Youya was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the Marquis of Zhongyong stood up, "Your Highness and Mr. Xie have entertained you, the army has just arrived, and there are still many affairs to be arranged, so I will return to Your Highness and Mr. again another day." ”

Without waiting for Mr. Youya to speak to the four princes, the Marquis of Zhongyong withdrew from the tent.

"Brother Liu, don't stay!" Mr. Youya hurriedly chased out, but he was no longer the Marquis of Zhongyong, so he could only return to the tent unhappily.

In the emperor's tent just now, he saw that Marquis Zhongyong was unapologetic to Xie Xun, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, who would have thought that Marquis Zhongyong would have such an attitude when he entered his tent?

The fourth prince angrily pointed in the direction outside the tent, "What's the matter with that Zhongyong Marquis?" This prince flattered him several times, but he didn't seem to understand it at all......"

"Military generals are all like this, with well-developed limbs and simple minds, and there are also people who don't understand His Highness's intentions for a while." Mr. Youya patiently appeased, but his heart was cloudy.

Although the Marquis of Zhongyong looks like a rough man and a martial artist, he is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, as can be seen by pretending to eat happily and preventing them from talking.

Letters were exchanged before, although the attitude was ambiguous, in the end, he still agreed to the marriage with the fourth prince, but now it seems that he does not intend to fulfill the marriage contract at all.

Could it be that the Marquis of Zhongyong wants to give up the four princes?

The more Mr. Ariya thought about it, the more he realized that it was possible.

This time I went to Jiuquan, without the protection of the 80,000 soldiers and horses of the loyal and brave marquis, the lives of the four princes were worried. In other words, he would most likely regret his marriage.

Now it seems that the four princes are even inferior to the five princes who stayed in the capital to supervise the country. The key is that the fifth prince has not yet married a concubine. Although the prince's side concubine can also be a jade spy, in the end, it is a concubine, and it is not as good as the benefits that the mother family who is the concubine can grab.

Although the fourth prince didn't have much wisdom, he also figured it out at this time, and immediately became anxious, "The Marquis of Zhongyong refuses to help this prince, and when he arrives at the battlefield, the prince's ruthless heart will definitely kill me, and that Xie Xun ......"

Mr. Youya's heart is also like an ant on a hot pot. Neither he nor the Yu family had a chance to change their ways, so they could only hold the four princes and live and die with them.

"Your Highness, don't worry." Mr. Youya's mind was spinning rapidly, "There must be a way...... By the way, I just heard that Marquis Zhongyong brought his two sons~"

Mr. Youya's eyes flashed away.

Marquis Zhongyong had a total of five sons, two of whom were adults, one was born and one was born. The second son of the concubine is brave and good at fighting, and even the loyal and brave marquis often praises him in public as the most like him. is a loyal and brave marquis, but he attaches great importance to his concubine, and he said early that the title can only be inherited by his son.

According to the news sent back by the spies, Liu Ergongzi has a lot of opinions about his father, and he is respectful on the surface, but secretly he is wooing the generals in the military camp and wants to overthrow his father.

The best thing is that the girl of the Liu family who is married to the fourth prince is the sister of the second son of Liu!

The Marquis of Zhongyong went to check on the situation of the 80,000 soldiers stationed, and then returned to his camp. As soon as he took off his armor, his own soldiers came to report, "Master Hou, the fourth prince is here." ”

Marquis Zhongyong frowned, why is this Highness here again?

In Mr. Youya's tent before, he deliberately pretended to be stupid. I want to anger the high-ranking prince with an arrogant and rude attitude, so as to confuse the marriage. The big war was imminent, and he didn't want to waste his energy and troops on the conspiracy to seize the heir.

After many years in the army, he knows how important it is to cooperate sincerely in this battle, and once there is infighting, everyone will be in great trouble. If he enters the camp of the Four Princes, he and his 80,000 soldiers will inevitably be involved in the conspiracy of those people.

The other party is a prince, so it's not easy to turn him away.

Marquis Zhongyong could only take his two sons out to welcome him.

The fourth prince had a decent smile on his face, and he gestured humbly and politely, "I just heard my father-in-law say that he was marching in a hurry all the way, and his physical strength would inevitably be greatly consumed, so this prince selected three top old ginseng and sent them to his father-in-law and two uncles. I also hope that my father-in-law and two uncles will not be too polite. ”

A thin word choked the words of Zhongyonghou's refusal in his throat......
