Chapter 393: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy, Never Be Passive !
Not to mention that the people who interact with each other on weekdays are among the best households in Tai'an County, the children study and take the initiative to accept disciples, and the children are generals as backers.
Now, even the prince has become a junior of the Tai family!
If one day he saw the emperor sitting in the courtyard of the Tai family and sucking noodles, he probably wouldn't be surprised!
The sixth prince Xu is also aware of his special identity, so he first bowed his hand to Chen Zhao, "Speaking of which, Ruiyang calls my aunt my stepmother, and I am with him." If Shopkeeper Chen doesn't mind, I will also call you Uncle Chen along with my cousins? ”
Where did Chen Zhao dare, he waved his hand frantically, kept giving a salute in return, and responded, "Your Highness, no, no!" The villain is just an ordinary businessman, and he deserves to be like this! ”
Or Tai Jiye helped round the field, and finally settled, Chen Zhao called the six princes His Royal Highness, if there are outsiders, it is inconvenient to call him so, just call Kang Cheng.
And the six princes called Chen Zhao the shopkeeper Chen, and they did not mess up their dignity.
For a while, everyone sat down, and He Xiong personally instructed the guards to cook a new plate of dumplings for the six princes.
The sixth prince was not polite, he ate most of the plate in one go, and praised with a smile, "This is the second aunt's craft, speaking of which, I haven't been to the house for a long time, I don't know if grandpa is in good health?" How's life at home? ”
Tai Jiye responded with a smile, "The family is fine, my father's body is better than anyone else, at least I can be beaten, and the cigarette pouch and pot can fly." He took Brother He and them into the mountains to hunt, and he even brought a brown bear and a Siberian leopard! ”
He Xiong was surprised, grabbed the conversation and asked, "Uncle Tai has been retired from the army for many years, but he hasn't forgotten this knife effort!" However, brown bears and Siberian leopards are not good at stubble, and uncles should also take care of their own safety! ”
Tai Jiye waved his hand and quickly explained, "Speaking of which, it's not the brown bear and leopard that my father killed, it's really these two guys fighting, and my father took someone to pick up a leak." ”
Speaking of this, it is natural to explain where the two good skins went, after all, the Tai family did not send the general, nor did they keep it for the six princes.
But when it comes to where the skins go, the premise is that the two boys were kidnapped. Tai Jiye pondered and explained a few words.
The sixth prince frowned at that time and asked, "Who is so bold and dares to tie up our family?" Can you find the mastermind behind it? ”
Tai Jiye wanted to say it, but his father was secretive, and he didn't dare to ask.
At this time, he could only come up with the Tai family's unified statement to the outside world, "It is estimated that the family is having a good time, which makes others jealous, so I think of tying up our family and blackmailing some money."
However, fortunately, Yonglu and Yongyue are smart, and Sesame Ball has a good nose, and they met Brother Chen who came back from the south with the convoy, so he successfully rescued the two boys.
"You also know that my father is already generous and righteous, and he naturally wants to thank the Wu family and the Min family for their contributions, so the two skins were given away. The next time I get something good at home, I will definitely keep it for the general and His Royal Highness. ”
He Xiong immediately excused himself, "It's all your own family, don't be so polite." As long as the family is safe, the rest is not important. ”
The sixth prince also responded, "General He is right, nothing is more important than the safety of the family. ”
After a pause, he brought up his previous words again and asked, "I just heard outside that Shopkeeper Chen is going to the grassland royal court to help the third prince win the throne of the Khan?" ”
Chen Zhao was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he still responded, "Yes, Your Highness is right. I had a fateful friendship with the third prince, and I wanted to help him in this grassland crisis. ”
The sixth prince frowned, looked at Tai Jiye and a few boys and said, "Shopkeeper Chen values love and righteousness, and I can't stop it." But this trip must be dangerous, shouldn't the third uncle and cousins follow? If there's anything missing in the house, just tell me I'll have it delivered to your home. ”
Tai Jiye didn't know the situation on the grassland before he set off, but when he heard the inside story, he was also a little entangled.
As a man, even if it is dangerous, he has the heart to go with Chen Zhao. But he was still accompanied by a few boys, plus more than 20 tribesmen, in case they all folded in the grassland and couldn't get out......
Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Chen Ruiyang all saw the clues, and they were afraid of being left behind, so they made promises one after another.
"Third uncle, cousin! Don't leave us behind, we're going to go into the prairie too. ”
"Yes, yes! We're all out and definitely won't be going back! ”
"We are obedient and will never be a drag! And grandpa let us come out just to practice our courage, we are not afraid of danger! ”
Tai Jiye was embarrassed and didn't speak for a while.
Chen Zhao felt guilty and said, "Jiye, it's better for you to go back with your children and clansmen." I'll lead the convoy into the grassland, and I'll leave your goods at my disposal. ”
Tai Jiye immediately objected, "No, Brother Chen, I can't watch you go on an adventure alone." ”
When the two sides couldn't hold each other like this, the sixth prince spoke again, "In that case, why don't I send more guards to you, if something happens, I can also protect the safety of our family." Of course, they will disguise themselves as convoy guards or coachmen, and they will only be responsible for your integrity, and the rest will not interfere.
In addition, Shopkeeper Chen wants to help the third prince win the throne of Khan, I also have a plan, do you want to hear it? ”
"Okay, Your Highness, please speak." Chen Zhao hurriedly responded, looking very humble.
The sixth prince poured him wine with his own hands and said, "The third prince is a little inferior in power compared to the rest of the princes. If the Khan died suddenly, the princes fought each other, and the three princes had very little chance of winning. Since the Living Buddha supports the three princes, he is also willing to persuade the Khan King to inherit the throne. Then let King Khan live now, even if he insists on it for another year and a half, it will be beneficial to the third prince.
"I have a good doctor by my side, I can bring some more medicinal herbs, follow you on a trip to the grassland, and try to cure the Khan King. Even if he can't extend his life for a year and a half, he can tell the third prince a deadline and let him know it. And you can also deal with it in time, get out early, and return safely. ”
"Is that true?" Chen Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly got up and saluted and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help, we have a little more protection for this trip." ”
The sixth prince refused to take credit, and returned the salute, "Shopkeeper Chen doesn't have to be like this, the premise of these is your friendship with the third prince, and you can gain his trust." Otherwise, I am a miracle doctor with the flesh and bones of the living dead, and I am afraid that I will not be able to send it to the Khan King. ”
Tai Jiye watched from the side, and his heart was clear.
Chen Zhao agreed to this plan, in the final analysis, it was the trust of the Tai family. Without the relationship of the Tai family, he would not accept the guards and doctors so easily. After all, if these people are a little selfish, they will ruin his friendship with the third prince. It will even take everyone's life!
He Xiong thought more, the guards and doctors of the six princes sent them to the grassland, and when they returned, they would definitely bring back first-hand news from the royal court.
Although there is no war between the grassland and the Great Wei now, it will never hurt to know oneself and the other......
