"If you don't go to this palace, how can you know how many years he has been entrenched in Jingzhou?" Li Yunxing asked rhetorically, and then sighed, "The palace has been delayed for five years, and if it is delayed any longer, it will only delay the fighter." ”

Lian Zhan said eagerly: "Prince, think twice. ”

Li Yunxing patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was serious, "General Lian, don't worry, I am not only the crown prince, but also the future monarch of the Wu Dynasty!" ”

"......"

Li Yunxing waved his hand to stop Lian Zhan's continued dissuasion, "This matter has been decided by the palace, so there is no need to say more." ”

Lian Zhan wanted to say more, but Li Yunxing held his shoulders hard.

"Although Bengong is the crown prince, he is not so fragile, let alone such a reckless and impulsive person. If there is real danger, the main palace will be evacuated immediately, and there will be no risk. ”

"If you don't go to this palace, how can you know how many years he has been entrenched in Jingzhou?" Li Yunxing asked rhetorically, and then sighed, "The palace has been delayed for five years, and if it is delayed any longer, it will only delay the fighter." ”

Lian Zhan said eagerly: "Prince, think twice. ”

Li Yunxing patted him on the shoulder, and his tone was serious, "General Lian, don't worry, I am not only the crown prince, but also the future monarch of the Wu Dynasty!" ”

"......"

Li Yunxing waved his hand to stop Lian Zhan's continued dissuasion, "This matter has been decided by the palace, so there is no need to say more." ”

Lian Zhan wanted to say more, but Li Yunxing held his shoulders hard.

"Although Bengong is the crown prince, he is not so fragile, let alone such a reckless and impulsive person. This trip to the palace can also take you out of the capital, and when you leave the restrictions of the capital's eyeline, you can take them to the Western Regions instead. ”

Li Yunxing will naturally spare his life, but he has to go this way.

Seeing that the persuasion did not move, Lian Zhan could only nod his head, "I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be careful in everything, if this country is without you, it will be all over." ”

Li Yunxing smiled faintly, "This palace knows it. ”

When Lian Zhan heard this, he finally let go of some of the big stones in his heart.

Now that the crown prince has an arrangement, then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore. He believed that the prince's foresight was unmatched by others.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the cold wind is gusting.

Li Yunxing and Lian Zhan each led a team and quietly left Beijing.

The horse's hooves clicked, raising layers of dust, covering the footprints behind them, and heading straight out of the city.

Li Yunxing sat in the carriage and quietly thought about the arrangements for this matter.

Shu Qingling's fleet must be on its way to Xuzhou now, but the Yellow River waterway is turbulent, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of delays on the way.

Jiang He was already on his way back to the capital, and it seemed that the southwest camp had no other thoughts for the time being.

The most important question now is how the king of Zhaoyang dealt with the disaster in Jingzhou, after he rejected his previous request for farmers to sell their fields, and finally left the capital with 200,000 taels of silver at the behest of Li Yunxing.

King Zhaoyang has the intention to make political achievements, but it is inevitable that the people below will disobey orders.

Li Yunxing was not afraid of this little trouble, the only thing he was worried about was the people of Jingzhou, who died of hunger because of the lack of food.

Therefore, he must go to Jingzhou.

As for the Chen Jinyan recommended by Lian Zhan, he also happened to be able to meet him.

If he really has the ability, he will be transferred to his side, such a person is a real loyal minister.

Suddenly, there was a bump in the road, and the horse neighed and stopped.

The driver tightened the reins to stabilize the horse, and Li Yunxing heard a slightly familiar male voice from outside the carriage, with gentle comfort.

"I'm sorry General Lian, an old woman just fainted, we don't dare to approach easily, please wait."

Li Yunxing felt that this voice was particularly familiar, and then suddenly opened the curtain and saw Lian Jirou disguised as a woman and mixed into the guards.

happened to collide with Li Yunxing's sight.

Looking at each other, she suddenly hung her head in panic.

Li Yunxing narrowed his eyes and stared at her, as if he was wondering why she was dressed like this?

"You come up to Hongu!"

Lian Jirou lowered her head, timidly moved over, and then knelt obediently on the inside of the carriage.

"The little girl sees His Royal Highness the Prince."

Lian Jirou's posture is very dignified, and even the title is a little girl with rules, and there is no transgression.

Li Yunxing looked at her with an indifferent expression as ice, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.

"When did you get in?"

"In the middle of the night last night." Lian Jirou lowered her eyes.

Li Yunxing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?" ”

Lian Jirou bit her lip, her face flushed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this trip is dangerous, the little girl is willing to follow the prince and wait beside him to protect the prince's integrity!"

"This palace is a dignified prince, do you need your little woman to risk her life to protect it?"

If a man needs his wife to protect him everywhere, then what kind of man is he?

Li Yunxing's words were sharp and aggressive, so frightened that Lian Jirou shrank his neck and defended in a low voice, "The little girl only wants to be by the prince's side and take care of him." ”

Immediately, his eyes were sour, and tears rolled down.

Lian Jirou is quite beautiful, her skin is like cream, and her shy appearance is pitiful.

She does look a lot like a little daughter-in-law, but ......

"You shouldn't be here," Li Yunxing frowned and said, "This matter will be properly handled by the palace, you go home!" ”

Hearing this, Lian Jirou bit her lower lip and didn't say anything, and her delicate face was dyed with a touch of sadness.

"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince willing to let the little girl follow?"

She asked aggrievedly, Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made the man feel pity.

Li Yunxing looked at her, and said after a while: "You go back first, and then I will go to you after the palace has dealt with the affairs of Jingzhou." ”

Lian Jirou sniffed and insisted, "I'm not going back." ”

The atmosphere between the two of them instantly dropped to freezing point.

Li Yunxing was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

"It seems that this palace is usually too used to you."

"That's it, you stay around, but don't mess around, let alone tell others about your disguise as a man!"

Lian Jirou's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, thank you, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Yunxing shook his head and smiled, he really couldn't be ruthless, now that he had left the capital for two days, if he let Lian Jirou return alone, he would be very uneasy.

He can only take it all the way, and when he arrives in Jingzhou, he will find another place to settle.

Li Yunxing had no choice but to arrange the carriage and continue to speed forward.

Seeing this, Lian Jirou breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she won the bet!

Starting from the capital of Sili, the road to the south through Xiangyang and Jingmen to Jingzhou, an important town in the south, is also called Jingxiang Ancient Road, which is the main land passage between the north and the south.

Fortunately, the distance between the capital and Jingzhou is only 500 miles, but it is crooked and narrow, the road is rugged, and it takes a lot of time to walk.

Li Yunxing drove for five days and finally arrived in Jingzhou.
