Beimu's attack this time came and went quickly. The Winter-Cloth Legion only repaired in Shangyang City for three days, and just waited for the three battalions brought by Zuo Jiu, Beimu retreated to the waste pass.

Zuo Jiu, who came with a large army, did not stop in Shangyang City, and went directly to the waste pass with the army. However, as a prisoner, he and the prince lived in Shangyang City.

As soon as they lived with the prince, the Wang brothers moved to the military camp outside the city without thinking about it. Li Mingyi was afraid that the prince would ask him about Lu Gongtang, after all, it was he Li Mingyi who did it. Wang Mingyi didn't know why he saw this prince, just like a mouse saw a cat.

As soon as the two brothers practiced martial arts in the morning, Li Mingyi couldn't help but ask: "Why doesn't General Mingli live in the city and hide outside this city?" ”

Wang Mingyi asked angrily: "Didn't you, the hero of Mingyi, also hide outside the city." ”

Li Mingyi said very calmly: "I hid outside the city because of Lu Gongtang's affairs, what about you, a big general is embarrassed to hide outside the city." You're now the representative of the Coldcoats. ”

"On behalf of your uncle." Wang Mingyi scolded, "The hell knows why that bastard came to supervise the army." ”

Li Mingyi instantly came to his senses, pulled his neck and asked, "Tell me, how did you offend that master." ”

"Actually, there's nothing to hide." Wang Mingyi looked at him, and then after making sure that there was no one around, he said, "I'm in the south, sometimes I'm bored, and I always try to find a way to have some fun." Then once I came out of the Qinglou and met a woman. ”

"Not Fluttershy?" Li Mingyi asked. Fluttershy is Wang Mingyi's current wife, and she is a foreigner.

Wang Mingyi said, "It's not Fluttershy, don't interrupt." ”

Li Mingyi hurriedly sat down obediently, his eyes shining with gossip. Wang Mingyi said impatiently: "It's the daughter of that master." It's called Ji Fangduan. You say, "It's a good prince's daughter." ”

The fire of gossip burned in Li Mingyi's heart, and Li Mingyi asked curiously, "So you slept with her?" ”

"Nope! Am I that kind of person? Wang Mingyi shook off the hand he put on his shoulder and scolded angrily, "What the hell are you thinking?" Just ......"

"Just what?" Halfway through speaking, Wang Mingyi stopped talking, and Li Mingyi hurriedly asked.

But Wang Mingyi just looked at the distance and smiled awkwardly, ignoring him. Li Mingyi followed his gaze and saw a thin man who looked malnourished. The man was wearing the daily military uniform of the Ming army and was walking towards this side.

Li Mingyi didn't care, such a man should not be too common in the army. So Li Mingyi continued to ask: "So what's wrong with that Ji Fangduo, you haven't slept before, you're afraid of a dick." Say it, say it. ”

Wang Mingyi was very embarrassed and tried his best to make eye contact with him. Li Mingyi was confused and asked, "Why are you squeezing your eyes, there is sand in your eyes." Don't you want to run, tell me what's wrong with that. ”

At this time, the thin man had already walked behind him, and he heard the two words that Li Mingyi said. Li Mingyi didn't care about it, this kind of topic between men should not be too normal.

But soon Li Mingyi was stunned, and the thin man asked in a female voice that he was somewhat familiar with: "Prince Mingyi is very curious, what happened to me with him?" Do you want me to tell you about it? ”

Li Mingyi was excited, and instantly understood why Wang Mingyi was like this. She shouted that she was righteous, that must be shouting Wang Mingyi and reasoning. And it's a woman again, and all of a sudden, Li Mingyi's name instantly appeared in his heart. This thin man is Ji Fangduo, the county lord.

"Not curious, not curious." Li Mingyi hurriedly shook his head to relieve his embarrassment. After speaking, he hurriedly said: "I still have something, I'll leave first, you talk slowly." ”

After saying that, Li Mingyi wanted to escape, but Ji Fangduo obviously didn't plan to let him go, and said: "Prince Mingyi, please don't leave, my father has something to look for you." ”

Li Mingyi stopped and said with some embarrassment: "My name is Wang Mingli, and Mingyi's son is the one." ”

Wang Mingyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Ji re-introduced, my name is Wang Mingyi, also known as Li Mingli." It's not wrong for you to call him Mingyi Gongzi. ”

Now it's Ji Fangduan's turn to be embarrassed. She was stunned for a moment, secretly scolded the shamelessness of the two brothers in her heart, and said: "I don't care what your name is, anyway, I want to see Wang Mingli and Wang Mingyi with the prince." I don't care, you just come with me anyway. ”

The two brothers knew that they couldn't escape, so they changed their clothes and followed Ji Fangduo into the city and went to see Prince He.

After coming to Shangyang City with the prince, he lived in the Li family's mansion. At this time, I was leisurely reading a book in the courtyard. Seeing Ji Fangduo coming over with the two of them, he stood up with a smile.

He said to the prince: "Wang Shouyi really gave birth to two good sons, and he can lead the troops to repel the Beimu army at a young age. ”

The two brothers Wang Mingyi hurriedly knelt down and said, "Meet His Royal Highness." ”

As soon as the two knelt down, they were helped up by Prince He. And the prince said: "No need to be polite. Your father and I are brothers with different surnames, so just call me uncle. Don't shout anything Your Royal Highness. ”

The two brothers stubbornly called out to uncle. He asked the two brothers to sit down, and ordered Ji Fangduo, who was standing aside and refused to leave, to make tea.

Prince He said: "The two nephews have such martial arts at a young age, and they must have inherited the mantle of Wang Shouyi. I don't know what position I have in Xiliang? ”

The two brothers didn't think too much about it and answered truthfully.

Wang Mingyi said: "I am now the commander of the cavalry in Liangzhou, and I am responsible for commanding the cavalry of Liangzhou. ”

Li Mingyi said: "I have one for three people." I'm not interested in joining the army, so I help my eldest brother take care of some chores. ”

"Qu Cai, Qu Cai." Prince He said, "This time, the two leaders drove away the 100,000 troops of Beimu, which is a great merit, how can they still do this small position." ”

The two brothers also did not understand what medicine was sold in the gourd of this prince and the prince. Is there an army of 100,000 Beimu that others don't know, and he and the prince can't know? The group of Beimu troops outside Shangyang City could not survive more than 10,000 people, even if those who withdrew first were added, it would not exceed 30,000 people. Where did the army of 100,000 come from?

Wang Mingyi hurriedly said: "Your Highness is serious. We were just lucky enough to defeat some of the remnants of the Northern Herds. Don't dare to take credit. ”

Prince He pretended to be angry and said, "What is the remnant army?" This Beimu army captured more than 20 prefectures and counties in less than a month, how can it be called a remnant army. Could it be that the virtuous nephew thinks that the defenders of these states and counties are all wine bags and rice bags? ”

This kind of offending words, the two brothers dare not accept it. Although they all thought in their hearts that this group of defenders was actually similar to wine bags and rice bags. So, both of them sat there and did not speak.

Prince He said again: "Don't worry, the court will not treat the two of you badly." You have done such a great thing, and in a few days I will go to the court and ask for a knighthood for you. will definitely not let the court treat the two virtuous nephews badly. ”

I know what I do, and the two brothers are still a little self-aware. understands that if the two of them rely on this to fight, they will be able to have a knighthood, and then I am afraid that there will be titles everywhere in the Coldcoat Legion. Since King Liang was knighted, the Ming Kingdom has rarely knighted military generals. Bai Wushu fought so many battles before he barely became an earl.

So Li Mingyi hurriedly said: "Your Highness is polite. The little nephew knew how much weight he had, and he would never dare to ask for a knighthood with such a small credit. ”

Wang Mingyi also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't be like this. This little nephew didn't dare to accept it. ”

Titles are useless in a sense. For the two brothers Li Mingyi, even if they were knighted, they could only supply them with money and food in Liangzhou. It's just an extra name than it is now. Besides, Liangzhou is very poor, and it is difficult to say whether it can really be given. They don't want to turn their faces with Wang Mingren because of this matter.

Prince He apparently intended to use this title to divide the two brothers. After all, news came from the Fire God Sect in Liangzhou, saying that someone from the two brothers wanted to replace their eldest brother as the king of Western Liang.

So he continued: "This title also has many benefits. With a knighthood, it is much easier to do certain things. At least you can justifiably take two more equal wives. ”

Although Li Mingyi married three daughters, it was only because the three daughters did not fight. According to the etiquette of the Ming Kingdom, only Wei Lan can be called a wife, and the other two can only be concubines. And the prince's words, it is obvious that the two of them have been investigated. As soon as these words came out, he was already hinting that he was willing to support Li Mingyi to become the king of Xiliang.

It was only at this time that Li Mingyi understood that Zhou Weiming's words meant this. Therefore, Li Mingyi stopped talking.

Wang Mingyi didn't think about it so much, and said: "The eldest husband should kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, how can he be entangled in the love of these children." ”

As soon as he said this, Ji Fangduo's face next to him fell. If he hadn't been with the prince, Li Mingyi thought he would have to be in trouble.

Prince He looked at his daughter and said, "What a meritorious service for killing the enemy." No wonder General Wang didn't take a fancy to the little girl. ”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became awkward. Wang Mingyi lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, but Ji Fangduo turned his head and stopped looking at him. Fortunately, he and the prince did not dwell too much on this matter.

Next, he asked the prince about the situation of Xiliang, including the Winter-Cloth Army. Then he asked some information about Beimu that the two brothers had. The two brothers also answered truthfully one by one. I don't dare to say whether it's true or not, at least it's about the same as what was reported to the imperial court.

After a while, Prince He suddenly said: "I heard that someone in Liangzhou has made a fire cannon, and the power is very good, I don't know if there is such a thing." ”

Li Mingyi knew that he would ask this question. I have already made plans. Li Mingyi directly took out the Fire Mystic Technique from his bosom and said, "In recent days, the craftsmen of Liangzhou City have created the Vulcan Cannon, and they are about to dedicate it to Your Majesty. When His Highness asked today, he just handed it over to His Highness. ”

Prince He didn't expect Li Mingyi to be so refreshing, but he still took over this fire mystic technique with a smile. smiled and said, "In this way, I will help Your Majesty thank your nephew." ”

I don't know if it was because of the secret art or what, but the rest of the conversation ended in this peace.
