As soon as these words entered his ears, Xu Jing's face changed.

Xu Jing first signaled Xu Shiyi to stop, and then entered the room with a complacent expression, and smiled at Zhao Xiyan: "There is a message from the barracks, there are some things that I need to deal with." You go to the shower and change your clothes first, and I'll come later." ”

Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes, looked at Xu Jing for a moment, and suddenly said, "What's wrong?" It shouldn't be a military camp, could it be that something happened in the palace? Or is there something wrong with Beihai County? ”

Xu Jing: "......"

The disadvantage of his childhood sweetheart is that he can't hide any secrets in front of his crescent sister.

Xu Jing also tried in vain to conceal it: "Don't be careful. It's not a big deal, it's just that a few soldiers on the side of the barracks secretly ran out and were arrested, Xu San wasn't sure what to do with it, so he sent someone back to the house to deliver the letter. ”

Zhao Xiyan ignored Xu Jing's nonsense, got up to the door, pushed open the door, and asked Xu Shiyi, who was standing outside the door: "Xu Shiyi, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Shiyi glanced at his master for help.

Zhao Xiyan's pretty face sank, and there was a faint displeasure in her voice: "Don't tell the truth in front of me." Maybe you are the prince's personal soldier, and you really don't need to take me, the princess, in your eyes. ”

Xu Shiyi: "......"

Xu Shiyi couldn't resist such a run, so he had to whisper: "Don't worry, the princess, let's say it." Something happened in Beihai County! The prince sent people all the way to deliver the letter, Zhou Sui led a group of bandits to attack Beihai County, and the prince had already ordered the city gate to be sealed! ”

Zhao Xiyan's face changed suddenly, and his body trembled slightly.

Xu Jing walked over quickly and held Zhao Xiyan's cold hand: "Sister Yue'er, don't panic, there are two thousand garrisons in Beihai County, and tens of thousands of people. It is not difficult to seal the city gates and guard them for two or three months. I immediately went to the palace to see my cousin and asked him to persuade the emperor to send troops to suppress the bandits. ”

Zhao Xiyan's hand trembled, and his face turned strangely pale: "What if the emperor refuses to send troops?" ”

Emperor Yongming didn't care about the life or death of the vassal kings at all, maybe he secretly looked forward to the death of the king of Beihai at the hands of bandits. How can you easily move troops?

Zhao Xiyan was anxious, in fact, Xu Jing was also anxious. More than 2,000 members of the Zhao family are all in Beihai County, and his father, princess, concubine and fourth sister are also in Beihai County. In case the bandits invade Beihai County...... I didn't dare to think about it at all.

Xu Jing cheered up and comforted Zhao Xiyan: "It's about the stability of the country, no matter how mediocre the emperor is, he won't sit idly by." You wait for my good news. ”

Zhao Xiyan nodded first, his eyes flashed with water, and he choked up in a low voice: "Calculate the time, my father and uncle are still halfway." I don't know if they know that Beihai County is besieged by bandits. ”

Beihai County is still guarded by a tall city gate and 2,000 garrisons, and if Zhao Yuanming and them crash into the bandit army, they are afraid that they will lose their lives at that time.

Xu Jing said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, there is a bandit in Beihai County, even the city gate is sealed, and the movement is so big, my father-in-law and uncle will definitely receive the news." As long as they find a safe place to hide, it's fine. ”

Thousands of miles away, no matter how anxious it is, it's useless.

Zhao Xiyan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and urged: "Don't rub it in, go to the palace immediately." ”

Xu Jing nodded, left quickly, and galloped all the way.

The vassal king's mansion is very close to the palace, but after a stick of incense, it will be outside the palace gate. At this time, it was already dark, and there were palace lamps hanging outside the palace gate. More than a dozen guards guarding the palace gate were all dressed in soft armor and their eyes were blazing.

After Xu Jing dismounted, he walked quickly to the palace gate. When the guards were on duty, they could not remove their armor or salute. Even if you know that the person in front of you is the prince of the king of Beihai, you have to ask about the waist card.

Xu Jing pressed the eagerness in his heart to deal with the guards, and after entering the palace gate, he walked quickly to the East Palace.

The prince was frail and sickly, accustomed to going to bed early, and had already fallen asleep at this time.

Gonggong Lu said with a smile: "Your Highness has gone to bed and rested." If Your Highness has anything to do, let's come back tomorrow! ”

Xu Jing glanced at Father-in-law Lu: "I have something urgent, and I want to see my cousin immediately." You go in and wake up your cousin. ”

Father-in-law Lu: "......"

That is, Xu Jing, who changed to another vassal prince, Lu Gonggong would not care at all.

Father-in-law Lu answered in a low voice and entered the bedroom. In less than a moment, he invited Xu Jing into the bedroom.

The prince sat up from the bed, still a little confused: "Chunsheng, you rarely take a break, you don't accompany your newlywed wife in the palace, why did you come to the East Palace?" ”

Xu Jing took a step forward and knelt down in front of the bed: "Cousin, I have something important to ask you!" ”

The prince was startled, a little sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he stretched out his hand to pull Xu Jing: "What's wrong?" Say it! ”

Xu Jing's eyes were a little red, and his voice was quite calm: "Something happened in Beihai County." I just received the news that a group of huge bandits surrounded Beihai County, these bandits were nearly 10,000 people, and my father had no choice but to order the city gate to be blocked. There are 2,000 garrisons in Beihai County, and it should be no problem to hold the city wall for two or three months. ”

"However, Beihai County is a long way to go, and it is difficult to pass on information. If the imperial court wants to send troops to suppress bandits, it will take a month on the road. I came to beg my cousin to persuade the emperor to immediately send troops to suppress the bandits. ”

Anger flashed in the prince's eyes: "These bandits are really rampant. I'm going to see my father. ”

Xu Jing was full of gratitude: "Thank you, cousin." ”

The prince's body is weak, and his hands don't have much strength, but holding Xu Jing's hand at this time is particularly reassuring: "You don't have to thank me." I am the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I will never allow bandits to cause trouble. You come with me to the Blessed Hall to see your father. ”

……

In the Beihai Palace, Zhao Xiyan was in turmoil, and waited under the candlelight for two hours, until it was too late, and then waited for Xu Jing to return.

"Brother Chunsheng," Zhao Xiyan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, his eyes eagerly swept over Xu Jing's handsome face: "Have you seen the crown prince and the emperor?" ”

Xu Jing's expression was complicated, and he sighed in a low voice: "I saw my cousin." My cousin immediately led me to the Hall of Blessings. The emperor was calling the harem concubines to drink and have fun, and we waited for an hour, but the emperor didn't see us. ”

"My cousin asked me to come back first and enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

Zhao Xiyan's eyes flashed with anger and disgust, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "This faint monarch will die on the beauty sooner or later." ”

Xu Jing also held back the fire in his belly, and scolded the faint king with his sister Yue'er.

After Zhao Xiyan's mood calmed down a little, Xu Jing opened his mouth and said: "Sending troops to fight is not a trivial matter, or the emperor should send troops to suppress bandits, and it is not immediately dispatched overnight." When the army goes out, it will take seven or eight days, to say the least. ”

"It's useless to be anxious, wait patiently. It's getting late, so go to bed first! ”

Zhao Xiyan responded in a low voice.

This night, the young couple tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Xu Jing got up and went to the palace again.
