Mrs. Gao was immersed in the grief of losing her son and her husband's serious injury, and her reaction was far less sharp than usual, and after hearing the news, she was stunned for a moment before she whispered: "When the prince returns home, I will definitely come to the door to ask to see the prince, and ask the prince to lead the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to pacify Qinghe County. Also, bring my husband and son back to the capital safely."

Zhao Xiyan said softly, "I don't know the military, so I can't promise anything on behalf of the son. However, the prince will definitely do his best. Madame, please relax."

Zhao Xiyan stayed for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Gao calmed down, wiped her eyes vigorously, and cheered up to arrange the funeral of her second son.

The disciples of the sect died on the battlefield, and the corpses have not been transported back to the capital, and most of them set up mourning halls first. When the body returns, it will be buried.

That night, the Gao family hung up the white skin, set up a mourning hall, and everyone in the house was vegetarian.

Early the next morning, the relatives and colleagues who had received the bereavement letter passed away and came to the door to express their condolences and not mention it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace sent subordinate officials to come to offer condolences.

Xu Jing, the prince of Beihai, who returned to Beijing all the way, came to Gao's house first, and bowed down three times in front of the coffin where Gao Erlang's clothes were placed.

Life and death on the battlefield are impermanent. They had fought side by side before, but it was only a few months later, and Gao Erlang was dying. The daughters of the Gao family were in mourning, and Gao Erlang's wife cried and fainted in front of the spirit. It's so bleak that it's unbearable to witness.

Xu Jing was full of heart, left the Gao family, and immediately entered the palace to meet him.

After a day and a night, Emperor Yongming's anger subsided a lot. The tone of his voice to Xu Jing was rare and gentle: "The prince said to me, let you lead the new army to Qinghe County to suppress the bandits. The Duke of Dingguo also approves of you leading the troops."

"This time, the 20,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion are also under your command."

"I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Xu Jing did not hesitate and said, "The ministers must do their best to live up to the emperor's high expectations."

Last year, he went to Jizhou with the prince, and the prince was the main general. Xu Jing, the prince of Beihai, led the troops into battle on behalf of the prince. won the battle and made contributions, all of which belonged to the prince.

This time, he was the main general. Winning battles and making meritorious contributions are all one's own. However, once the bandits are defeated and defeated, no one can stop him.

Xu Jing was not afraid, and blood surged in his chest.

Leading the troops to the expedition is not a trivial matter, after leaving the Jinluan Palace, the prince said to Xu Jing, "Go to the East Palace, I have something to discuss with you."

Xu Jing nodded, stretched out his hand to hold the prince's arm, and returned to the East Palace together.

Xu Jing's entry and exit from the East Palace is a common thing. More than a dozen officials of the East Palace were summoned by the crown prince, and when they saw Xu Jing, they bowed their hands one after another.

The prince sat in the East Palace, and the prince of Beihai led the troops to suppress the bandits and stabilize Qinghe County, so it was very suitable for this cooperation.

The prince's gaze swept over the subordinate officials, and he said in a deep voice: "This time, the prince of Beihai led the troops to Qinghe County, and he wanted to send two people to go out with the army. Who will go?"

As soon as the words fell, all the subordinate officials looked at each other, and soon two people got up and automatically asked Ying to go with the army.

These two people, one is Donggong Xima, surnamed Liao. The other is a native of the East Palace, surnamed Shen. Both of them are about thirty years old, and it is the time when the young spirit is used.

The prince was very satisfied: "Okay, Liao Xima and Shen Sheren set out with the new army. The two of you have entered the army, representing the face of loneliness."

"There are people in the army who are making trouble, you two don't have to be polite, just deal with it. It's all alone."

This is left by the good people to the sons of the world, and the wicked are kept by them!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really loves the prince very much!

Liao Xima and Shen Sheren sighed in their hearts, and they surrendered their lives together.

Xu Jing was moved in his heart and said in a low voice, "Thank you, cousin."

The prince turned his head to look at Xu Jing: "I didn't do this all for you."

"You are young and have little experience in the army, and the new army was trained by you, so you must obey your orders. The 20,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion may not be able to withstand it."

"I sent Liao Xima and Shen Sheren to you, you don't have to be polite, use it when you use it. If there is any criticism, I will bear it for you in the court. However, you must be in the shortest

to quell the bandits."

Speaking of this, the crown prince paused, sighed, and said, "In the past few years, there have been continuous wars, and the treasury is empty, and it has long been unable to support it. Now it is Yin who eats the grain and works hard to stabilize the government and the opposition. In this battle of Qinghe County, you must not only win, but also win cleanly. In this way, we can shock the world. Otherwise, the destruction of the Great Jin Dynasty is just around the corner."

This is not sensational.

The Great Jin Dynasty is like a decayed and dilapidated wooden ship. People can carry boats, but they can also capsize boats. If this continues, the ship will sink in a few years.

Xu Jing restrained his smile and said, "I have written down everything my cousin said. I don't know the situation in Qinghe County now, so I don't dare to say how. However, I will put down the bandits as soon as possible."

The prince nodded, and said, "After exterminating the bandits, you still have to appease the people of Qinghe County."

"It's not something that can be done overnight, so it will take a few months to go to Qinghe County, to say the least. When you get home, talk to your brother and sister."

Zhao Xiyan was pregnant with twins, and Xu Jing was silent. Therefore, the prince inferred from the day when an ordinary woman was pregnant and about to give birth.

As everyone knows, as long as Xu Jing leads the troops to the battle, nine times out of ten he will not be able to catch up with the birth of the child.

Xu Jing sighed secretly and nodded.

Next, everyone discussed together how to suppress the bandits and appease the people, and they did not disperse until dark.

The crown prince personally sent Xu Jing out of the East Palace.

The evening breeze blew away the heat of the day, and the bright moonlight fell on the prince's pale and thin face.

Xu Jing glanced at the crown prince and said in a low voice, "Cousin, there is something I want to tell you."

"Sister Crescent Moon is pregnant with twins."

The prince was a little surprised: "This is very good."

The royal heirs are thin, and the words are mean in private, saying that the withering of the royal family is a sign of the death of the country.

Zhao Xiyan is pregnant with twins, but it is a great joy. For the Beihai Palace, it is even more joyful.

Seeing that the prince was so happy, Xu Jing felt a warm current in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I haven't told Sister Yue'er, in fact, I have a plan in my heart, when the child is born, both men and women, will be hugged into the East Palace......

The crown prince interrupted Xu Jing with a smile: "How can I rob your eldest son and eldest daughter."

"Don't think about it. This matter, even if my brother and sister nod their heads, I don't agree with it."

"Chunsheng, my own body, I know it myself. God doesn't have much time left for me, I can hold on for three or five years, and when you can stand firm and take over the East Palace, it's a blessing. I don't have the energy to raise a child, and I don't have the time to wait for them to grow up."

"This Great Jin is the country that our ancestors of the Xu family have beaten down, as long as it is passed on to the descendants of the Xu family, it is enough."

"If you really feel sorry for my brother, grow up faster, let me worry less and live a few more years."
