Wang Zheng didn't know what a painting cake was, but he probably understood what he meant, and after a few seconds of silence, he said: "Outside the port of Lanzhou, there is a small island in the southeast, and there is a reclusive blacksmith living on the island.

He can fix the broken knife for you, if you tell him that from now on, he will not owe anything to the court. ”

Fix the Hongming Knife?

I have to say.

This benefit really made Ren Pingsheng excited.

Having said that, it doesn't seem appropriate to refuse.

Ren Pingsheng was no longer entangled, and turned to another matter: "The case of the Lanzhou Mansion has been clarified, except for the first Lanzhou Governor, who died of natural causes, the other two were all killed by the barbarian priests.

The reason for killing them was the collusion between the government and the barbarians, which was discovered by them. ”

Wang Zheng didn't care about the case of the Lanzhou Mansion, but after hearing about the barbarians, he became more serious and asked, "What is the collusion between the Lanzhou Government and the barbarians?" ”

Ren Pingsheng truthfully recounted the results of the investigation.

Including how he regained weapons and armor from the hands of two thousand barbarian elites.

Of course, the specific process is only a passing one.

"With so much armor and weapons, a small Lanzhou Tongzhi doesn't have that much courage and not so much ability."

Wang Zheng frowned, and pointed out the key in one sentence.

It can be seen that he can sit in the position of the eunuch who is the master of ceremonies, not only relying on super cultivation.

Ren Pingsheng said: "I think the same way, there must be someone behind him, but the clue is broken, and it won't be found out for a while." ”

Wang Zheng bowed his head slightly, and said with a straight face: "In this matter, our family will make a 1510 report to the Holy Lord, and we will also ask for credit for His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Just ask for credit, and it is estimated that there will be no reward." ”

“……”

The corners of Wang Zheng's eyes twitched, speechless.

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "What to do with these armor and weapons?" ”

After thinking for a few seconds, Wang Zheng said: "Our family is in charge, these weapons and armor can be used by the prince himself, in case of future emergencies." ”

Implication.

Keep these armor and weapons for yourself, and you will not be able to use them in the future.

Hear this.

Ren Pingsheng was a little confused, and hurriedly asked: "How many soldiers does Your Majesty plan to transfer to me for the matter of clearing the forces in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Wang Zheng replied with a serious face: "Elite cavalry, one hundred horses!" ”

A hundred cavalry, stepping on the rivers and lakes?

This is what Emperor Zhaowu said before.

In the future, the Demon Suppression Division will become no less than the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard?

Ren Pingsheng wanted to pick a son directly, but after thinking about it, if he had enough armor and weapons, it would not be impossible to give himself only a hundred people.

That's it.

He looked at Wang Zheng and said, "I can also do without this hundred horses, but I have one condition." ”

Wang Zhengdao: "His Royal Highness, please speak." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "The Demon Suppression Division recruits errands, what kind of people to recruit, how many people to recruit, I can call the shots alone, and I don't need to ask Your Majesty." ”

"This ......"

Wang Cheng looked hesitant, and for a while he didn't know whether to agree or not.

When Ren Pingsheng saw this scene, he opened his mouth and was about to refuse.

Wang Zheng hurriedly said: "This matter is not impossible, but our family has to inform Your Majesty first, and after Your Majesty agrees, the prince can recruit messengers." ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Wang Zhengdao: "Your Majesty's will, our family has been delivered, His Royal Highness, farewell!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Before he could take a step, he suddenly thought of something, stopped again, looked at Ren Pingsheng, and said: "His Royal Highness Yunhe is simple-minded, ignorant of the world, and has never left the Jingshi, and asks the prince to take care of it." ”

Do you need to say this?

Ren Pingsheng thought so in his heart, but he didn't say so, just waved his hand and replied, "I remember." ”

Back in the house.

As soon as he pushed the door, he saw Liu Yunmeng sitting quietly at the table, looking a little dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing Ren Pingsheng come in, her eyes lit up, and she stood up busily, smiling like a flower: "You're back." ”

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and asked curiously, "What is Your Highness thinking?" ”

Liu Yunmeng hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "This palace is thinking, if one day, you and your father go against the emperor, how should this palace deal with itself." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "There will not be that day. ”

"Why?" Liu Yunmeng blinked and asked.

Your father is planning to make me the queen of the future mother's world, and rounding this country is also mine, how can I fall out with him......

Ren Pingsheng slandered in his heart, but he said seriously: "For the sake of His Royal Highness, the ministers will keep to themselves, strive to become the pillars of the court, and share worries for Your Majesty." ”

For Hongu?

Liu Yunmeng was slightly stunned, his eyes were filled with a layer of mist, he raised his head slightly, stared at Ren Pingsheng, and asked, "Why are you so good to this palace?" ”

Ren Pingsheng, who is familiar with the words of a scumbag, is about to speak.

Before he could speak, he was gagged.

Liu Yunmeng stood on tiptoe, closed his eyes, and his pretty face was as bright as the sunset.

It's rare to take the initiative once, but my heart is still nervous, and my body trembles slightly.

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hand to support her slender waist, a smile appeared between his eyebrows, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Your Highness is a little rusty......"

"Hmm......"

Liu Yunmeng let out a sigh, buried his head in his arms, twisted his waist, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Then don't speak, just ......"

What was said later, Liu Yunmeng didn't hear it clearly, but he was stopped by Ren Pingsheng and hugged him.

Moonlight shines through the cracks in the window and spills onto the head of the bed.

Two shadows, accompanied by the candlelight of dusk, swayed slightly.

Following.

Dawn.

Liu Yunmeng curled up in Ren Pingsheng's arms.

There seemed to be a slight tiredness between his eyebrows.

Ren Pingsheng stroked her cheek, and when he saw that she didn't mean to wake up, he got up from the bed alone.

Just as he was about to practice for a while, he saw a booklet on the table.

picked it up and flipped through a few pages, only to find that it recorded the forces in the rivers and lakes that he needed to completely exterminate.

Together, there are thirty-seven.

It's not too much to say, but it's not too little.

The forces of the rivers and lakes that can be registered by the celebrant will never be too weak.

They should not be taken lightly.

Thinking so, Ren Pingsheng sat down and carefully checked the information of these thirty-seven Jianghu forces.

After reading it, I found that there was a force in it, which was on the mountain near Lanzhou, called Zhenwu Village.

According to the booklet.

The owner of this real martial arts village is named Zhuo Deguang, and he is a martial artist at the peak of the four grades.

Twenty years ago, he used to be the commander of the city defense army in Lanzhou, but because of some trivial matters, he had a conflict with the deputy commander, and finally killed the deputy commander in a fit of rage.

Afraid of being beheaded by the court, he chose to go up the mountain.

With its strong strength, it quickly conquered the major cottages, and integrated them into Zhenwu Village, and became the owner of this village by himself, and his cultivation grew day by day, from six to five and then to four grades.

The imperial court took a fancy to his strength and sent people to recruit him several times, but he ignored it.

Later, he killed the envoy sent by the imperial court.

It stands to reason.

Such a force should have been exterminated a long time ago.

It's just that the most powerful prefect in the entire Lanzhou City is only the fifth grade, and it doesn't have the ability to exterminate him at all, so it has been delayed until now.

"A cottage that is opposed to the imperial court, even if it is destroyed, it will not be able to make any waves on the rivers and lakes...... In that case, let's start with it! ”

Ren Pingsheng made a decision, put the booklet in his arms, glanced at Yunhe, and left the house.

Yesterday I fought to the death with the barbarians.

Whether it is Chang'an or Little Green Tea, they are tired enough to choke and still rest in the house.

In the lobby, only the little Heavenly Master Mu Rou and Qiu'er who stayed in Lanzhou were quietly eating breakfast.

saw Ren Pingsheng appear.

The two looked a little surprised, and were stunned for a second before they remembered to say hello.

"The ...... of the Prince"

"Ren Gongzi ......"

Ren Pingsheng walked up to them, picked up a piece of pastry casually, and said, "I have something to go out, if the two highnesses wake up, I bother Miss Mu to talk to them." ”

Hear the two Highnesses.

Mu Rou didn't know what she thought, her expression became a little strange, but she didn't say anything, nodded lightly, and said "um".

Ren Pingsheng coped with a few mouthfuls, then took the Hongming knife and left the inn.

Turned over and went straight to the port of Shanzhou.

In one day, the wooden thorns in the port of Lanzhou had been almost demolished.

As far as the eye can see, you can see many fishermen and slender men, who are busy with their work.

Experienced being kidnapped by barbarians.

The people near the port of Lanzhou have all known Ren Pingsheng.

Seeing him, they all stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Lord Qincha......"

"Lord Qincha, Wan'an!"

Ren Pingsheng bowed slightly, in response.

That's when it happened.

A familiar figure came over, and his tone was unusually eager: "Childe, you are here, what do you command, the little one will do it immediately!" ”

It was Liu Laosan who Ren Pingsheng planned to rent a boat with him at the beginning.

"Liu Laosan."

Ren Pingsheng looked at him and called.

As soon as the words fell.

Liu Laosan's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked moved, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe still remembers the little one." ”

Ren Pingsheng saw that he seemed to see his father, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "This son is not a fool, it has only been a few days since we last met, and this is not to be forgotten." ”

Liu Laosan opened his mouth with tears in his eyes, and wanted to say something.

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Ren Pingsheng: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, prepare a ship for this son, with a helmsman and a few sailors, and this son is going to find a small island." ”

Liu Laosan hurriedly said: "Son, don't worry, the little one will definitely arrange it for you." ”

That sounds strange.

But Ren Pingsheng didn't bother to care, waved his hand, and said, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes, Childe!"

Liu Laosan saw that Ren Pingsheng had something to do, so he stopped talking nonsense and turned to leave.

Just a moment.

He came back and said, "Childe, the boat is ready, do you want to use it now?" ”

Ren Pingsheng was a little surprised: "So fast? ”

Liu Laosan said: "After the previous incident, the ships and people in the port are very idle, even if you want to find a reliable one, you can find it immediately." ”

After a pause, he said: "The little one also found an old man for Gongzi, he has been fishing at sea since he was a child, and the small island and big island near here are not unknown to him, if Gongzi is looking for a place, ask him right." ”

I have to say.

Although this guy's tone and demeanor are a little exaggerated, he is quite careful.

Ren Pingsheng bowed his head slightly and said, "If everything goes well, this son will have his own reward." ”

Liu Laosan hurriedly said: "Being able to do things for the son is a small blessing, how can I ask for any reward." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "Then it won't be rewarded." ”

"Little Thanksgiving......"

Before the words were finished, the brain reacted.

The rest of the words were blocked in my throat, I couldn't spit it out, I couldn't swallow it, and my face was red.

When Ren Pingsheng saw him like this, he felt funny, waved his hand and said, "The benefits are indispensable to yours, take this son to board the ship." ”

There were steps.

Liu Laosan finally relieved himself and hurriedly agreed.

After two sticks of incense.

Ren Pingsheng got on the boat and asked the old man Liu Laosan was looking for: "Is there a small island in the southeast?" ”

The old man replied: "If you go back to your lordship, outside the port of Lanzhou, no matter which direction, there are many small islands, I don't know which one the adult is looking for." ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "I heard that there is a blacksmith living on it. ”

"Blacksmith ......"

The old man's brow furrowed, and he fell into thought.

After a while, he shook his head and said, "Little Lao'er has been fishing for forty or fifty years since he was a child, and he has never heard of a blacksmith living on a small island. ”

No blacksmith?

Could it be that Wang Zheng's big eunuch is deceiving himself?

It shouldn't be, and it's not necessary......

That's right.

Wang Zheng said that the man was a hermit.

Since he is a hermit, it is reasonable that others do not know his identity.

That's it.

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Is there a small island where a person lives alone?" ”

"One ......"

The old man was lost in thought again.

After a while, as if thinking of something, his cloudy eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "There is indeed an island, and this wild man lives on it......"

After a pause, he added: "He is the only one on the whole island, and he can't find anyone else." ”

Savages......

Ren Pingsheng suddenly became interested and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

The old man frowned, thinking carefully.

racked his brains, and only said one sentence for a long time: "I remember the first time I saw that wild man was six or seven years ago, he picked up dead fish on the beach, grilled and eaten, and his body was dirty, and then I saw it two or three times, and it was still the same clothes, I don't know what it was made of, it was all rotten, and I was still wearing it." ”

Ren Pingsheng asked curiously: "After so many years, no one has gone to see him?" What if he was washed up on the island after falling into the water, and he couldn't walk if he wanted to? ”

"Falling into the water and rushing to the island ......"

The old man never seemed to have thought of this possibility, and froze in place.

“……”

Seeing his expression, the corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched.

Now.

He very much hoped that the so-called wild man was the blacksmith that Wang Zheng was talking about.

Otherwise.

That guy is too pathetic.

Encountered a shipwreck, died nine lives, and finally ended up on a desert island.

can only rely on picking up some stinky fish and rotten shrimp to barely make a living.

Every day, I watched all kinds of fishing boats come and go on the beach, but no one came to save me, so I could only live alone on the island.

Boy.

If that were the case.

It's much worse than Robinson......

I thought about it for a while.

Ren Pingsheng said to the old man: "Just go to that island and see if he is the person I am looking for, if not, ask him if he is willing to go with us, if he is willing, we can also be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good." (End of chapter)
