Seeing the young man in front of him eating the delicious food in front of him with a bite of chicken leg and duck neck, Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help frowning.

"It doesn't look like you can't afford to eat, why do you look so indecent?"

The man continued to gulp, looking contented, "If I could, I'd rather not wear this, but I really don't have any other clothes." ”

Ning Xiaochuan was speechless for a while, and with this kind of flaunting wealth, it was more than enough for this kid to eat in Zhenbao Zhai for a month.

"You've almost eaten too, shouldn't you say something?" Ning Xiaochuan took a sip of tea, knocked on the table, and looked at the man speechlessly.

The man wiped his mouth, "Jumbo Zhai tastes good, I can tell you, but you have to promise me to keep it a secret for me." ”

"Say, I'm definitely not going to spread the word."

"My name is Gao Chang, and I slipped out of the palace......" Gao Chang breathed a long sigh of relief and said calmly.

Ning Xiaochuan's heart moved, the imperial surname still slipped out of the palace, and his identity was about to come out.

"Are you the third prince?"

Everyone knows that there are three princes in the Dafeng royal family, the crown prince and the second prince Ning Xiaochuan have seen each other, so there is only one possibility for the man in front of him, and that is the third prince.

However, this third prince made Ning Xiaochuan a little surprised, unlike Gao Yuan and Gao Ling, this prince didn't feel like a prince, and actually sneaked out of the palace by himself.

was chased by the hotel owner and hit him because he didn't bring any money, and he was almost beaten by himself, this has to be known to be the prince, let alone himself, even Ning Xiaochuan has to finish playing, what is the crime of beating and threatening the prince, Ning Zhi can't keep him.

Gao Chang nodded innocently, "yes, don't talk nonsense." ”

Ning Xiaochuan walked to Gao Chang's side and looked Gao Chang up and down, which made Gao Chang a little uncomfortable, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm wondering if you're the third prince after all, and you're not here to deceive Young Master Ben." Ning Xiaochuan pretended not to believe it and said.

Gao Chang stood up with an arrogant face, with a piece of chicken wings stuffed in his mouth, and muttered: "I am a veritable third prince of Dafeng, if it is fake, okay, return my jade pendant to me." ”

Ning Xiaochuan threw the jade pendant to Gao Chang casually, Gao Chang quickly took the jade pendant with both hands, almost spit out the chicken wings, and said nervously: "I'm scared to death, you dare to throw this jade pendant casually, what if it breaks." ”

"There are so many delicious delicacies in the palace, and they are not enough for you to eat, so it is quite surprising that you actually went outside the palace to eat some things that ordinary people eat."

Ning Xiaochuan stared at Gao Chang, regardless of Gao Chang's complaints, when he knew that the man in front of him was the prince, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

In the palace, everyone knows that the competition between the crown prince and the second prince for the position of the crown prince is extremely fierce, so in comparison, the three princes, who are also princes, seem to be a little too quiet, do not fight or grab, and some things have nothing to do with themselves.

Gao Chang pinned the jade pendant to his waist again, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "No matter how much delicious food in the palace is, you will get tired of eating, besides, how can there be roast chicken, roast duck neck and roasted sweet potatoes in the palace, these can only be eaten outside." ”

Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help but nod and give a thumbs up, "Tired of eating?" Only you dare to say this, admire. ”

"Don't talk about me, talk about you, you are Ning Wushao who has been circulating in Yin Capital for a long time." Gao Chang looked at Ning Xiaochuan, to be honest, this was also the first time he bumped into Ning Xiaochuan, when he slipped out of the palace before, he had only heard about some of Ning Xiaochuan's deeds, but this time he didn't expect that they would actually meet in such a way.

Ning Xiaochuan straightened his clothes and cleared his throat, "How is it?" Isn't this young master personable and extraordinary? ”

Gao Chang also looked up and down, and finally nodded slightly, "It's indeed a little handsome, but it's not as heinous as the rumors, and it's a heinous crime." ”

"Hahaha, it's rumored that I'm a monster with a blue face and fangs." Ning Xiaochuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Speaking of the Third Prince, Your Royal Highness, you just went out of the palace to eat these?" There is no other purpose? ”

Gao Chang thought for a while, and then shook his head, "It's just to come out to satisfy your hunger, the palace is stuffy and boring, and even the food is always so much, how can it be so lively and fun outside the palace." ”

Although Gao Chang said so, Ning Xiaochuan didn't believe it, after all, he had seen more princes recently, and he had to pay attention.

After eating and drinking, Gao Chang rubbed his stomach with satisfaction, then got up and looked at Ning Xiaochuan, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner, when I invite you to dinner next time I leave the palace, it will be settled." ”

"You're really interesting, this prince." When Ning Xiaochuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Gao Chang straightened his outfit and stretched his waist, "That's, I never like to owe people something, it's not too early, I have to go back, see you next time." ”

After eating, he wiped his mouth and left, Gao Chang's open-mindedness made Ning Xiaochuan a little surprised, such a prince is indeed different from his two elder brothers, or rather, this is not like a prince.

Ning Xiaochuan did not make a noise about the encounter with the third prince, even Song Jing did not tell him, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

……

In the palace, Gao Zhen, as the Son of Heaven, really knew the world without leaving home, and as his tailwind ear and clairvoyance, the great eunuch Han Zhongxuan played a huge role.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince went out of the palace to see Ning Xiaochuan." Han Zhongxuan arched his hand and said.

"What's the situation, let me guess, the crown prince played a set of Tai Chi, threatened Ning Xiaochuan with the matter of the second prince, and forced Ning Xiaochuan to have to serve him?" Gao Zhen said slowly: "This is a dead move, Ning Xiaochuan has no way out." ”

"Your Majesty, the truth may be about to disappoint you." Han Zhongxuan grinned, and his smile was a little eerie.

"Oh?" Gao Zhen looked at Han Zhongxuan unexpectedly, "Could it be that this Ning Xiaochuan still has a way to crack it?" ”

Han Zhongxuan shook his head and arched his hand and said, "It's not Ning Xiaochuan, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be doing this, but wants to persuade Ning Xiaochuan." ”

"Convince Ning Xiaochuan?" Gao Zhen was still very surprised by this result, he put down the music in his hand and smiled slowly, "This prince, I have underestimated him a little, and his courage is not small." ”

"Your Majesty, although the crown prince intends to make Ning Xiaochuan sincerely submit, but this is not the case on the second prince's side, the Jiangnan Gongsun family has changed again, and three high-grade masters have sneaked into Yindu, and it seems that they want to attack Ning Xiaochuan."

Han Zhongxuan frowned and said, Jiangnan Gongsun family, the real wealthy family, Jiangnan Sanzhou is not so much in the hands of the Dafeng royal family, but in the hands of the Gongsun family.

Jiangnan Wealthy Family, for Dafeng, is also a big problem.

"It's getting bolder." Gao Zhen said obviously unhappily.

Han Zhongxuan spoke again, "Why don't you go and deal with these people?" ”

"No, isn't there Song Jing by Ning Xiaochuan's side, besides, the Gongsun family's goal is Ning Xiaochuan, and I am too lazy to get involved." Gao Zhen looked at Han Zhongxuan, slowly got up, and helped Han Zhongxuan, who had been giving up, "There is a good saying, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, let them fight, it will only be good for us, there is no harm." ”

Han Zhongxuan nodded knowingly, "Your Majesty, the old slave understands, and the three princes run out of the palace every three or five times, do you think it's time to remind me." ”

At the mention of the third prince, Gao Zhen's face was a little complicated, and he shook his head, "Forget it, let him go, you understand what I mean, as long as you don't cause trouble, you can do anything." ”

"Yes, the old slave understands." Han Zhongxuan retreated.

Gao Zhen in the study slowly opened the piece in his hand, and it was written: Shuzhou 800 miles urgent.

Gao Zhen showed a rare smile under the candlelight, everything is going according to his plan, it seems that it will not be long before the land of Sichuan and Shu will be completely submissive to him.

……

On this day, Ning Xiaochuan, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by Su Su.

"Young master, young master, wake up, the master is looking for you." Su Su said very anxiously, Su Su would not be so anxious on weekdays.

"It's early in the morning, I'm trapped in Young Master Ben, don't go, I'll talk about it when I get enough sleep." Ning Xiaochuan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, turned around and continued to sleep.

"It's the son of the agricultural doctor Hu Tongxun's family who came to find the master, and the master asked me to call you, and now the person has arrived in the hall." Su Su said anxiously while pushing Ning Xiaochuan.

"Huh?"

Hearing Hu Tongxun's son's words, Ning Xiaochuan's eyes opened suddenly, and he bounced up directly from the bed, looking at Su Su with some surprise, "Hu Shangyi? Are you sure it's him? ”

Su Su nodded, "Exactly." ”

It's strange, why did Hu Shangyi come to find his father early in the morning, could it be that something happened?

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaochuan jumped off the bed with his legs, took two clothes and walked out.

"Young master, wash up." Su Su shouted from behind.

"I won't wash it."

When he came to the living room, Ning Zhi was sitting on the top seat, and Hu Shangyi below was sitting on the right side, rubbing his hands nervously, looking up at Ning Zhi from time to time, and when he saw Ning Zhi's serious face with a hint of majesty, the words that came to his mouth were swallowed by him again.

"Shang Yi, Shang Yi, what's wrong." As soon as Ning Xiaochuan entered the door, he shouted Hu Shangyi's name.

Seeing Ning Xiaochuan walk in, Hu Shangyi breathed a sigh of relief, got up and came to him, looking anxious, looking at his blood-red eyes, it was estimated that he hadn't slept all night, "Ning Wushao, you can count it as coming, I'm ...... Something big is going on in our family. ”

"Don't worry, say something slowly, my father is here." It can be seen that something is indeed wrong with the Hu family, and Hu Shangyi's tone of voice is like crying.

"Chuan'er has also arrived, nephew Hu Xian, let's repeat what you just told the old man." Ning Zhi said solemnly.

Seeing Ning Zhi so serious, Ning Xiaochuan also felt a little wrong, maybe this matter was indeed a little serious.

"Ning Wushao, do you remember what I told you that day that my father raised military rations for King Anxi?" Hu Shangyi said anxiously.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded, "I know, what's wrong?" It can't be that something happened to this batch of military rations, right? ”

The transfer of military rations is a major event related to the battlefield, and generally speaking, the transportation of military rations is extremely strict, and there are few accidents, but once something happens, the lightest thing is the head on the ground.

"It's fine for this military ration to start from Yindu, but it happened as soon as it arrived in Shuzhou."

Sure enough, Ning Xiaochuan frowned, something happened to the military rations, as a doctor of agriculture, Hu Tongxun must be to blame, and no wonder Hu Shangyi was so anxious.

"Don't worry, you talk slowly, what the hell is going on."

"Yin soldiers borrow the way, and a hundred ghosts travel at night!"
