In order to reasonably explain their appearance in Xiliang, I don't know how many arrangements Zhao Chengyuan made before and after, so that Emperor Qingming couldn't find a flaw.

Looking back on this year, he seems to have calculated every step he takes, and every word and deed has a purpose, even if they get married, they have to be careful to get there.

Han Youning sighed, "How hard the prince has been all these years, I feel tired when I hear it."

Zhao Chengyuan took her hand and led her to sit on the couch, "It's okay to get used to it. If I had walked wrong, I would not have lived to this day. A shrewd and strong person like King Xiliang can suffer at the hands of the imperial brother, and the imperial brother has his own advantages. Look, Lu Yushi will come soon to find out the news."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Yushi to come over with a pair of pheasants and smile.

"The officials went to the mountains to hunt and gave the prince and princess stewed soup to drink."

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was indifferent, and he didn't save face at all, "Lord Lu has visited all the mountains around Geduo these days, right? But what's wrong?"

Lu Yushi hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The lower officials don't dare! Xia Guan just loves hunting, and when there is nothing to do in the city, he goes to the mountains to hunt and spend time."

Zhao Chengyuan took the tea lid and slowly stirred the tea soup, and said lightly, "Lu Yushi is conscientious and conscientious, and it is rare to be in an enemy country and still have the heart to hunt."

Lu Yushi smiled, "The Xiliang Army hasn't moved for a long time, so it dares to relax...... No, they're all retired now!"

"In order to ensure the tranquility of the border of the Great Zhou, the prince of Dingguo trekked through mountains and rivers to aid the Northwest Army, what risks are taken in this, Lord Lu should be clear as a military general."

Lu Yushi echoed, "Yes, yes. The prince has the world in mind, and the officials admire him to the extreme."

"Then what are you worried about, why don't you tell me about it?"

Lu Yushi smiled and said, "There is nothing uneasy about Xiaguan......

He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Xia Guan heard that the Southwest Army has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Geduo, so that the King of Xiliang is like a great enemy, so he urgently dispatched a large army to Liuze to defend. However, in fact, the southwest army is only 100,000, and it seems that the rumors cannot be believed."

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, Lord Lu should know. 100,000 soldiers and horses can be disguised as 50,000, and naturally they can also be disguised as 150,000."

"That's what the prince said." Lu Yushi smiled and agreed, but said, "It's really strange that the 180,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army were scared by the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Dingguo Gong and retreated. I heard that the Xiliang army is fierce and brave, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

"You should have read the letter of the king of Xiliang to the prince of the kingdom. To each of you, the borders remain the same."

"Xia Guan has seen it. It's just that...... Geduo was captured by the Southwest Army with great difficulty, but now it is going to be returned, isn't the prince of the world coming for nothing?"

Zhao Chengyuan's eyes were slightly cold, "Come for nothing? The Southwest Army came to Xiliang, so that Da Zhou kept the Northwest Taiping without spending a single soldier, and it was already a victory without a fight, what are you going to do? But what if this king is the master and keeps you here, and you come to guard the city of Goddo?"

Lu Yushi hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The lower official lost his words, and the prince forgives him!"

Zhao Chengyuan lowered his eyes and drank tea unhurriedly.

This Lu Yushi is notoriously difficult to deal with, a hard bone, and never really afraid of anyone. This is true for military generals, and it is also true for civil ministers. Because of this, it is quite important to the emperor. ….

Emperor Qingming lost a long-sleeved Yongping Marquis who was good at dancing, and the one who could share the most for him was Lu Yushi.

In a short period of time, Lu Yushi was able to find out that the number of soldiers and horses was inappropriate, as well as the strangeness of Xiliang. If he hadn't withdrawn his private soldiers early, I'm afraid he would have been exposed by now.

Lu Yushi knelt for a cup of tea, but the prince didn't say to let him get up, he could only kneel.

Seeing that the prince had not spoken, he coughed lightly twice.

Zhao Chengyuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him lightly, "Why is Lord Lu still here?" You are a minister of the Imperial Mission, representing the emperor, how can you make such a great gift to this king. Get up."

Lu Yushi thanked him and got up, "Even if the lower officials are Qincha, they can kneel to you, the prince, and the princess. It's a pity that the princess is in poor health, and the lower officials can't kneel down in front of her to ask for peace......

He had a worried face, "The prince went out for half a moon this time, I don't know if I can find the thousand-year-old snow lotus?"

Zhao Chengyuan put his hands on his knees and said lightly, "What's the matter, Lu Yushi is not only suspicious of the Duke of Dingguo, but also suspicious of the king?"

Seeing that he didn't answer directly, Lu Yushi became more and more suspicious, what he had done in the past half a month, it was really hard to say.

"The lower officials don't dare! Xia Guan just wants to share the worries of the prince......

Zhao Chengyuan opened the box, and a pair of snow lotus flowers inside were presented in front of Lu Yushi.

"This largest flower is only five or six hundred years old, and if you have the ability to find a thousand years, you can ask for as much silver as you want."

As soon as Lu Yushi took a look, he saw that this snow lotus was freshly picked, and such a big one was already extremely rare, and it was impossible to find it. If you want to get it from someone else temporarily, it is very unlikely.

The doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he arched his hand and said, "The lower official is ashamed, the lower official is afraid that he doesn't have that much ability."

The box snapped shut, and Zhao Chengyuan snorted coldly, "I don't have the ability, and I still talk so much here."

Lu Yushi heard the anger in it, and did not dare to challenge the patience of King Jin again, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Han Youning was terrified when he heard it in the inner room.

If Zhao Chengyuan didn't think of it, I am afraid that Emperor Qingming would catch the handle.

Zhao Chengyuan pushed open the door of the inner room and came in, looking at the stunned little girl with a smile, "It's not a thrilling thing, why is this expression?"

Han Youning got up from the couch and got into Zhao Chengyuan's arms and hugged his waist, "I just feel sorry for you."

Zhao Chengyuan's eyebrows softened, and he felt sorry for him...... Others respect him, fear him and guard against him, only this little girl said that she felt sorry for him.

He patted her on the back, "With your words, I don't feel hard at all for my husband."

That is to say, he used to feel hard.

Han Youning raised his head and asked in a low voice, "The prince has 50,000 private soldiers, if it is to protect himself, it is far-fetched. But in your previous life, until my death, you never rebelled, why?"

Zhao Chengyuan pinched her nose, "Why did you say that?"

Han Youning thought for a moment.

"The time has not come?"

"The prince has no intention of taking the throne?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and looked at her silently.

Han Youning hugged his arm and shook it, "Why the hell?"

Zhao Chengyuan opened his arms, "Help change the clothes for the husband."

"Your hands are already ready."

"It still hurts. Frostbite on the snowy mountains."

Han Youning stretched out his hand and looked at it in the opposite direction, his hands were as slender as jade, where was there any frostbite.

She glanced at him with disgust, "It turns out that the prince can also tell lies and deceive people."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and groaned, "Internal injuries, I can't see it."

Han Youning pursed his lips and smiled, bowing his head to change his clothes, "Since the prince likes me to change your clothes for you, to put it bluntly, you don't need to find so many reasons."

Zhao Chengyuan laughed.
