Chapter 210: On Merit

How mean that is.

Rao is Murong Yaocheng Mansion is deep, and he was also so angry that his heart was surging, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and responded: "Marquis Zhongyong said this, I am really ashamed." ”

"It is the duty of the Praetorian Guards to protect the safety of His Highness, and it is not a credit to say anything. It was the Iron Guard Battalion, which made a great contribution this time. The three bandit stockades were all defeated by the siege weapons of the Iron Guard Battalion. ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass: "I salute General Feng." ”

This riposte is also really powerful.

General Murong made it clear that he was poking at the sore spot of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

The cavalry battalion fought unfavorably for a long time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince traveled thousands of miles, and finally relied on the Iron Guard Battalion to defeat the bandits. What kind of face does the Marquis of Zhongyong have to say here that the Praetorian Guard will make military merit if they don't do anything?

Marquis Zhongyong's face was quite ugly, and he stared at the prince of Dingguo.

The prince of Dingguo raised his glass unhurriedly, first drank a drink with General Murong, and then said with a smile: "The cavalry battalion is all cavalry, and the iron guard battalion is dominated by infantry, and there are some means of attacking the city, which is not surprising." I think that the first merit of this battle should be His Royal Highness the Prince, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting in the Chinese army, the army's heart is like a rainbow, and the baggage is abundant, and the soldiers can win battles again and again. ”

"We salute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together."

General Murong and Marquis Zhongyong glanced at each other, each sneered in their hearts, and happily responded with joy on their faces, raising their glasses together.

Xu Jing saw this scene in his eyes and couldn't help but be secretly amused.

The Chinese officials of the DPRK formed a party in private, and on the surface they were all harmonious. Generals, I don't like to go around and around. No one obeys anyone, and everyone thinks that they are the first person in the army.

The prince of Dingguo said with a smile: "The prince is brave and unparalleled, he is like a god of war on the battlefield, and the second merit should be returned to the son." I'll wait for a cup of toast to the son. ”

Xu Jing smiled and raised his glass to drink.

In a mass of harmony (verbal swords), a celebratory feast ended perfectly.

Several generals said goodbye and left, and the prince personally sent them out of the military tent, and then smiled at Xu Jing: "Cousin Jing, you stay, we will sleep together tonight." ”

Xu Jing responded with a smile.

Due to his health, the prince could not practice martial arts. After coming to Jizhou, he stayed in the barracks and gave orders. Every time Xu Jing returned to the barracks after the battle, the prince had to ask about the war in detail. In Xu Jing's vivid description, it seems to be immersive, incarnated as a young man riding a horse and wielding a long knife, charging on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Xu Jing is him, he is Xu Jing.

This delicate mood is only understood by Xu Jing.

Therefore, Xu Jing talked for an hour, until the third watch, and his voice was about to smoke and did not stop.

Gonggong Lu, who was waiting outside the military tent, couldn't help it, and reminded with a cough: "It's so late, Your Highness should rest in peace." ”

The prince was hearing the excitement and glanced at the past unpleasantly: "Stand down." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed gentle and good-tempered. However, this does not mean that the prince has lost his temper. Once you put on a straight face, the people around you are just as trembling.

Father-in-law Lu withdrew from the tent in a gloomy manner.

Xu Jing took advantage of this effort, drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and deliberately said with a bitter face: "Cousin, I'm also very tired, so let's rest early!" Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be more time, and I will tell my cousin slowly. ”

The prince's heart warmed.

In the eyes of everyone, the prince of Beihai is unruly and willful. If you are really close, you will know how careful and considerate Xu Jing is.

For example, right now, Xu Jing will not say, "My cousin is not in good health, he can't work hard, and he shouldn't stay up late", but opened his mouth to shout that he was tired.

"Okay, then rest early." The prince quickly changed his mind and called Father-in-law Lu in: "Let someone bring some hot water." ”

……

The conditions in the barracks were rudimentary. Even the honorable Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a larger military tent. What separate clean room is not.

The chamberlains busied themselves carrying large wooden barrels and pouring hot water into them.

The prince untied his clothes, entered the barrel, and greeted Xu Jing with a smile: "You come too." ”

Xu Jing was never polite to the prince. Every time he returned to the barracks from a battle, he ate and slept with the prince, and it was common for him to bathe together.

The barrel is so wide that it doesn't look crowded for two people to sit in.

The prince still looked a little dressed in his clothes, and when he took off his clothes, he looked extremely thin. The chest is thin and there are not a few taels of flesh.

Xu Jing is just the opposite, he is dressed as a handsome boy, taking off his clothes, he is tall and has long legs, wide shoulders and narrow hips, a firm chest, smooth lines, and is very good-looking.

When stepping into the barrel, the prince looked between Xu Jing's legs with envy, looked down at himself again, and couldn't help but sigh.

After Xu Jing sat down, he grinned at the prince: "Don't look at it!" Look at the long needle eye again. ”

The prince smiled dumbly, thinking of what Imperial Doctor Wan had said that night, his mood suddenly fell and depressed.

"What's wrong with cousin?" Xu Jing seems to be very arrogant, but he is actually sharp-minded.

The prince settled his mind and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I think of a big victory, and I'm happy." Next, settle the people, and we will return to the capital as soon as possible. You'll also be able to get together with your crescent sister sooner. ”

Xu Jing smiled casually: "My cousin is a year older than me, and he delayed his marriage for a year because of filial piety. When I return to Beijing this time, I can get married and marry Miss Su into the palace. ”

The prince smiled.

Xu Jing stretched his arms lazily in the hot water and laughed: "What's wrong?" Isn't it full of imagination? ”

The prince was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I won't marry Cousin Jin." ”

Xu Jing was startled, looked the prince up and down, and reached out to probe the prince's forehead.

The prince was angry and funny: "I don't have a fever, and I don't talk nonsense." ”

After a pause, he whispered: "You know this matter in your heart, don't say it." ”

Xu Jing was full of doubts, looking at the prince's inexplicably depressed eyebrows, a vague thought flashed in his heart.

Without waiting for Xu Jing to think about it, the prince smiled and opened the topic: "Tonight, the Marquis of Zhongyong and General Murong are arguing with each other, and the prince of Dingguo seems to be harmonious, but in fact, he is secretly secretive. ”

"You've dealt with all three of them a lot over the past few months. In your opinion, who is the best? ”

Xu Jing also came to be interested: "There is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts." If you only talk about skills, it should be Murong Yao who is the most powerful. However, it is also the way it should be. He commanded the Janissaries and guarded the Imperial City. If you don't even have this ability, you should have given up the position to someone else. ”

"In terms of the ability to march and lead the troops, the loyal and brave marquis is even better."

"What I admire the most is the prince of Dingguo. He was strict in governing the army, cherished his soldiers, and he was brave and resourceful, and he was calm. ”

A smile flashed in the prince's eyes: "I can see it." You really hate Murong Shen, and you can't even bring General Murong and the Praetorian Guards into your eyes. ”

Don't forget to give Murong Yao eye medicine in private chats!
