Seeing that it was Zhao Quan, the foreign manager, Hu Hai lazily lay back again, with no waves in his eyes. At this time of the day, I, the foreign steward, would habitually come over and ask for advice on the affairs of the house.

But now, where else do you need to ask for advice in your own house?

It's nothing more than what you eat in the morning, what you eat at noon, what you eat at night, or which wife and concubine you go to bed at night......

Nothing new!

Without waiting for Zhao Quan to open his mouth, Hu Hai waved his hand a little irritably.

"Go and tell them, Ben Gongzi, I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm resting in the study by myself......"

Zhao Quan opened his mouth, but bowed down first.

"No, the villain will let people burn the floor heating over there first, and use the aromatherapy to ......"

Although there are people cleaning the study every day, since being claustrophobic at home, the eighteenth son of his own family has not been to the study for an unknown amount of time, and after all, there is a lack of smoke from some people. Now that Childe plans to go over at night, he naturally has to pick it up first.

Hu Hai nodded indispensably, waved his hand at Zhao Quan, and signaled that he could go down.

After a while, seeing that Zhao Quan was still standing there, he said in a slightly surprised way.

"Don't you have anything else to do......"

Zhao Quan bowed his body and said respectfully.

"Back to the son, the fourth prince's mansion sent someone to send an invitation to the lady, saying that she was going to invite the lady to the banquet, and the lady was a little undecided, so she specially asked the villain to come over and ask the son to ......."

"The fourth prince's mansion invites your wife to a banquet?"

Hu Hai almost couldn't believe his ears, since he was convicted and imprisoned in the mansion by his own Ah Weng, he has almost become a plague god, and everyone avoids it, even if he wants to donate some family property to the Daqin Charity Hall, he has repeatedly hit a wall, let alone others.

Today, I didn't expect that my fourth brother's mansion would invite my wife to a banquet.

Zhao Quan nodded excitedly.

"It is said that this time, I also invited the wives of many ministers and powerful families in Xianyang City, saying that they had invited a master of the drum and piano, and invited everyone to come over the house to enjoy the ......."

Although Hu Hai was confined at home by the First Emperor and was not allowed to go out of the mansion, he was only imprisoned by himself, and these relatives and subordinates in his mansion could move freely as long as they did not leave Xianyang City, so they were not completely ignorant of the news from the outside world.

He naturally knew that his fourth brother was no longer what it used to be, not only set sail for the sea, traveled overseas, and sought the elixir of life for his own Ah Weng, but also married two extremely powerful relatives.

The daughter married the upstart in the army who swept through Mobei and was famous, and now Xiang Yu, the county guard of Yanbei County, and even the niece of his sister-in-law's maiden family were married to another general in the army, Jingbian Marquis Han Xin.

It's a beautiful place.

At this time, his sister-in-law invited his wife to a banquet?

Hu Hai pondered for a long time, and he didn't understand the brain circuit of his sister-in-law, but now, for him, what situation would be worse than now, since Mrs. Zheng is willing to extend this olive branch, he Hu Hai naturally has no reason to refuse.

Thinking of this, he sat up straight.

"In that case, then let your wife prepare and go over......"

"No—"

Zhao Quan got Hu Hai's order, nodded immediately, and was about to leave to inform his wife, looking at Zhao Quan who was about to step out of the door, Hu Hai hesitated slightly, and finally opened his mouth to make up a sentence.

"When I let my wife go, take the pearls of the East China Sea that are treasured in my treasury and go there a little early......"

When Zhao Quan heard this, he couldn't help but pause slightly, then turned around and saluted seriously, and then turned around and left. It wasn't until he walked out of Hu Hai's field of vision that he raised his sleeves and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

His own son-in-law, who has been favored by the first emperor since he was a child, has unlimited scenery, how could he be so careful about even the fourth son's family going to a banquet once, and even need to try his best to please ......

……

Meanwhile.

On the Gongzi Gao Mansion, Mrs. Zheng was looking at Mr. Yi, a "master" with a calm expression, with an uncertain expression.

"Sir, is there really no problem with giving an invitation to the eighteenth son? Will it make Your Majesty unhappy......"

Looking at Mrs. Zheng, who had already arranged for the invitations to be sent out in person, and was still entangled there, Mr. Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart, and once again doubted whether his original decision was reliable.

is such a wonderful couple, they can stand up.

One has obviously led an army alone and occupied Yingzhou, which is almost equivalent to the actual princes, but he thinks about his eldest nephew every day, and the other is so stupid that people are speechless.

But after all, he still squeezed out a smile and explained patiently.

"It's okay, Madame, just rest assured, even if Your Majesty hears about it, you will only approve it in your heart......"

Speaking of this, seeing that Mrs. Zheng was still confused, she could only try to speak more clearly.

"After all, the eighteenth prince was His Majesty's favorite son, since he committed a serious crime, he was still reluctant to kill him, but he was confined in the house, and the supply was perfect at four o'clock, so he naturally would not want to see the eighteenth prince die well in the future, and now, Xianyang is up and down, and the eighteenth prince is afraid of it, and if the lady can not avoid suspicion and take the initiative to get close, His Majesty will definitely be relieved in his heart, thinking that the lady cares about family affection, and although the world does not say it, it will only think that the lady is a loyal and friendly elder......"

At this time, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but reminisce and couldn't help nodding her head again and again.

"Yes, yes, Mr. is really a master in the world, if there is no Mr., the concubine will almost make a big mistake!"

Speaking of which, it also touches the tunnel.

"Recently, the subordinates of the house got a good mink from the north, and in a few days, I made a fur and sent it to the eighteenth brother in person......

Mr. Yi: ......

I'm so tired!

Once again, the thought of going back rose in my heart.

……

"Hey, hey, I said Brother Peng, Peng Da is in charge, I said why don't you let us go back, as long as you let us go back, we have the right to have nothing to happen today......"

was only honest for a long time, and Xiaoyaosheng, who remembered to eat or not, couldn't help but stretch his neck to tease Peng Yue again.

Seeing that Peng Yue was only in a hurry and refused to take care of him, this product became more and more energetic.

"I said that Peng Da is in charge, I am not scaring you, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson of our family, that is really amazing, believe it or not, if you really dare to take us away, I can't say that my own people haven't gone back, the family will have to be served by our Royal Highness, and you won......'t be able to cry when the time comes."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Peng Yue turn his head and command lightly at Wang Laosi.

"Fourth, if he continues to make noise, I'll smash his mouth......"

When Wang Laosi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and the horsewhip in his hand snapped, and when he saw it, he immediately closed his mouth with interest, and plunged into the corner of the carriage and pretended to be dead.

The world is instantly pure.

Although Peng Yue ignored him, Wang Laosi did not forget to continue to tease him.

"Your Highness still serves our home? Why did he take our home, I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the situation of our cottage? Between the two mountains, there is only one sheep intestine path that can be passed, and in a narrow place, even if it is a person, you have to be careful! We only need to send dozens of people to guard the pass, not enough to stop the tens of thousands of troops! Without our people, let alone your Royal Highness, even if the first emperor of your family comes, he can only honestly show Lao Tzu......"

Xiao Yaosheng had dealings with this group of bandits, and had also been to their stockade, so he naturally knew that Wang Laosi was not bragging, that path was indeed rugged and difficult, extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a natural dangerous place. What's even more terrifying is that there are also huge boulders prepared on both sides, once the situation is not good, you can directly push down the boulders and block the mountain road, even if you have wings, you don't want to fly over.

Of course, when they are idle, they will not push themselves off the boulder, after all, once they push down the stone, others will not be able to get up, but they will not be able to go down, it is a proper lose-lose situation.

I don't think about it later, unless I chisel through a boulder, or hang a rope from a cliff and climb down......

Therefore, Wang Laosi's words made him really powerless to refute, so he could only give Wang Laosi a disdainful look, in order to avoid finding an opportunity for this guy to beat himself again, he didn't bother to bite the tongue, which made Wang Laosi a little disappointed.

I don't know where Peng Yue is going to take everyone this time, this elite team of dozens of people just walked in the mountains for most of the day, so they directly gave up the carriage and horses, turned to walking, and took a group of people to climb deep into the mountains.

Fortunately, probably Peng Yue really didn't want to completely anger Zhao Ying, the eldest grandson of the mighty Great Qin Emperor, and provoked the meaning of endless pursuit and killing, and did not kill the surprise and others, and got rid of the burden of the surprise and others.

Even in order to avoid their accidents, they also deliberately asked people to find a rope, tied the surprise and others into a string with ropes, and arranged special people to lead them.

Surprised and noisy, while honestly following Peng Yue and the others, over the mountains and mountains, while silently observing the surrounding terrain, wanting to judge where his group has arrived now.

Unfortunately, when they were in the car, they rushed in the middle of the night in the dark, and soon after dawn, they went into the mountains and forests, even if he had a detailed understanding of the maps of all parts of the world, it was not easy to determine his current location.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious in my heart.

I and Xiaoyaosheng have disappeared one after another, and I don't know where my Royal Highness is at this time, and how I will react, but don't miss the big things of my Highness.

……

"Ovary, where are we now?"

Zhao Ying slowly pulled the reins, turned his head to look at Zhang Liang on the side, Zhang Liang took out the map in his arms, compared it carefully, and then said seriously.

"Back to Your Highness, at this time, we have arrived at the foot of Jinji Mountain, and after seven or eight miles of road, it is the lair of Peng Yue's thief!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying nodded slightly.

Jinji Mountain is located on the bank of the Jin'an River, the mountain is steep, all around are cliffs, only an extremely rugged sheep intestine trail can lead to the top of the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Peng Yue, this group of bandits, the reason why they can be entrenched here for many years, so that the officers and soldiers of Ba County and Lujiang County are helpless, one of the very important reasons lies in this.

Peng Yue, in particular, also ingeniously found two huge stones on the mountain walls on both sides, and also built two simple passes in the most dangerous places, which made this place a moat. Unless the officers and soldiers fight with them, they are blocked outside and guarded, or they are willing to fill in with human lives, otherwise, there is really no way to take them.

"Pass my order, the whole army dismounts, rest in place, and after half an hour, give up the baggage carts and horses, and walk into the mountains to suppress the bandits!"

"No!"

The order was quickly passed down.

In the past few months, the elite of this forbidden army has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the rapid march of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, at this time, although a little tired, not only did they not complain, but there was a faint excitement in their eyes.

Finally, you can fight with His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun!

Half an hour later, the army left only a small team to guard the chariots and horses, and the rest, following His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, continued to march towards the lair of Peng Yue's thieves marked on the map.

Although it was a rapid march, after all, the number of people was there, and these subordinates of Peng Yue, even if they were hasty, could not find this fierce army of officers and soldiers who came to the door.

However, they are also quite experienced in dealing with officers and soldiers, and they know that these people will not be able to break through the cottage and will soon retreat on their own, so except for some panic at the beginning, they quickly stabilized.

The heavy mountain gate was slowly closed, and many bandits with rough bows and arrows climbed up the cottage to defend with shoddy bows and crossbows.

By the time Zhao Ying and the others arrived, they were already ready to deal with it.

Looking at the rugged and difficult path in front of him, Zhang Liang couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Your Highness, this place is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has forced the officers and soldiers of Ba County and Lujiang County to return many times without success......

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Ying looking up and down at the sheep intestine trail in front of him, and there was a eager expression in his eyes, as if he was going to lead the army to charge in person, and he was suddenly a little stunned. At this moment, he suddenly heard Zhao Ying's deep voice ordering.

"The left army is out of the ranks, all of them are thrown, cover for me!"

When Zhang Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and grabbed Zhao Ying's sleeve.

"Your Highness, no!"

Zhao Ying couldn't help frowning, and turned his head to look at Zhang Liang, if he had changed his usual life, Zhang Liang would not dare to be disobedient, but now, his whole person has been completely bound to Zhao Ying's ship, how can he let Zhao Ying take such a risk.

"Your Highness, the son of a daughter can't sit down, these mountain bandits are just ringworm scabies, how can it be worth your own risk! If you make a mistake, where will you leave the soldiers under your Royal Highness......"

When Zhao Ying heard this, he stretched his brows and pulled down the mask on his face with a smile.

"I have this armor, what arrow can hurt? What's more, there is also a large army to suppress the formation, and the bow and arrow to suppress ......"

After speaking, he had already taken off the five-stone strong bow in his hand and shot an arrow.

This long arrow, if there is no meteor, without waiting for the mountain bandits on both sides of the stone wall to react, has already spanned more than two hundred steps, shot through the two people one after another, and with a loud sound, it was nailed to the stone wall behind the bandits, and the arrow feathers trembled lightly, buzzing.

This arrow completely calmed everyone.

Ordinary longbow, the range is only 100 steps, beyond 100 steps, it can already be regarded as a strong bow, and Zhao Ying's arrow, a full 200 steps away, one arrow and two eagles, and the stone does not fall, what kind of arm strength should this be.

"Your Highness wins, Your Highness wins!"

In just a short moment, Zhao Ying's personal soldiers and the Praetorian Guards reacted, and one by one they couldn't help but raise their arms and shout, looking at Zhao Ying's back, their eyes became more and more fanatical.
