"You continue to track the situation of the Xiongnu, and this palace needs to know when the Xiongnu will launch a general attack on the Chu State."

Zhan Jun hugged his fists, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Let Zhan Jun stay in the capital today to investigate this matter thoroughly, and Li Yunxing can also take a step back to consider the disaster relief in Jingzhou.

Judging from Gao Changzhuo's letters, Zhu Honglang's project to repair the embankment and rebuild the Zhijiangyan is progressing quite smoothly.

Li Yunxing sent troops to transport silver and grain from the most rugged mountain roads to Jingzhou, and presumably they could be delivered smoothly.

It's just that this disaster relief incident cannot be simply revealed.

What's more, there are rebels in Jingzhou, and if they ask for silver for food, if they are handed over to Liu Chen to suppress, I am afraid it will cause a popular uprising.

Moreover, although those rebels have no armed forces, they are still difficult, and if he takes people to Jingzhou, he may have to be besieged for several months.

Moreover, Chen Jinyan did not go to Gao Changzhuo, which surprised Li Yunxing.

When he was thinking about how to deploy manpower, he saw Zhan Jun go and return.

"Why are you back?" Li Yunxing asked.

Zhan Jun first half-knelt on the ground and clenched his fists with his hands, expressing his apologies to His Royal Highness the Prince, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the last general was about to leave the palace and met this person at the palace gate. He said that he had a relationship with the prince and wanted to ask to see the prince. ”

He did not report his name, nor did he reveal his identity, and the guards guarding the gate did not dare to let him go. But this person and the last general are old friends, so the last general specially turned back to pass it on his behalf. ”

"Who?" Li Yunxing asked.

"Former Tingwei Mansion Yin, Chen Guang's son Chen Jinyan."

Hearing Chen Jinyan's three words, Li Yunxing was stunned.

When he first saw Chen Jinyan, Li Yunxing persuaded him to join his command to no avail, and let him go to Gao Changzhuo as if he had sunk into the sea.

I didn't expect to find the capital by myself?

This made Li Yunxing very strange, it stands to reason that Chen Jinyan should be ready in Jingzhou now, waiting for the delivery of relief food and silver, how could he come to the capital?

After thinking about it again, Li Yunxing decided to announce his audience first.

There are some things that it is better to explain clearly in person!

After Chen Jinyan walked into the palace, he felt that the surrounding environment was very quiet.

The palace was empty, except for the occasional shrill chirping of cicadas as patrols passing by, and no other animal cries could be heard.

He is very grateful to Zhan Jun in his heart, he was taken in by Lian Zhan at the beginning, and then grew up with Zhan Jun and Lian Jirou.

It stands to reason that he is older than the two.

But after many years, I didn't expect that Zhan Jun had been trained to become a real soldier, and his whole body exuded a solemn atmosphere.

When the two met, Zhan Jun was shocked, but he didn't show it.

Chen Jinyan and Chen Guang are taboos that cannot be mentioned in the court, so Zhan Jun has a lot of impressions of the former best friend in front of him, but does not point out his true identity.

He bowed solemnly to Chen Jin and said, "Brother Chen." ”

"Commander Zhan." Chen Jinyan also returned the salute respectfully.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I invite you to talk about it in the East Palace, here is the common waist card."

Zhan Jun took the waist card, handed it to Chen Jinyan, and then turned around and left.

Chen Jinyan watched Zhan Jun's back disappear, and then followed a little eunuch into the palace.

The scenery in the palace is beautiful and elegant, rockery, ponds, pavilions and pavilions, revealing wealth and magnificence everywhere.

Is this the palace where Emperor Wu lived?

Chen Jinyan looked up, his heart full of complicated emotions.

Built by the Emperors, this ancient palace is a historical and cultural treasure as well as a source of war.

He took a deep breath, then continued on his way with a resolute and steady step.

After walking for about half a cup of tea, Chen Jinyan finally arrived at the gate of the East Palace, where two rows of guards were standing.

The group of guards were all wearing armor, with grim faces and sharp eyes.

Each one of them is like an elite in swords, guns, and halberds.

"Who?" Luo Zipao stopped Chen Jinyan.

Chen Jinyan hurriedly lowered his head and presented the waist card in his hand.

After the guard picked up the waist card and observed, he waved his hand to signal that Chen Jinyan could enter.

Chen Jinyan held the waist card, with mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't expect that he would actually set foot in the royal palace in this life.

After entering the East Palace, it was Jinxi himself who led the way.

"Young Master Chen, please come with me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting inside." Jin Xi said politely to Chen Jinyan.

Chen Jinyan nodded slightly, and followed the other eunuch into the hall.

After entering the hall, Chen Jinyan saw a person sitting upright on the top, with a majestic expression.

When he saw him in Jingzhou market that day, it seemed that he was judging the two of them again, and the golden python robe set off him as mighty as a god, and his momentum was compelling.

Needless to say, this person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - Li Yunxing.

"The grass people knock on His Royal Highness the Prince."

Chen Jinyan knelt on the ground and saluted Li Yunxing.

"Let's get flat!" Li Yunxing said indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." Chen Jinyan stood up straight, and then paid attention to the person in front of him.

Although the person in front of him was only in his early twenties, the arrogance between his eyebrows made Chen Jinyan feel a little afraid in his heart.

"Why did you come to the capital thousands of miles away, what is the important matter of looking for the main palace?" Li Yunxing's tone was calm.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the grass people have a doubt in their hearts that has been troubled for a long time. I wanted to give up several times, but I always couldn't sleep. Over the past few years, the grass people have been thinking hard, but they have never been able to know the answer......

When Li Yunxing heard this, he said unhurriedly: "Oh? That being the case, you speak slowly. ”

"Your Highness, I don't know how much His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about the anti-thieves in Jingzhou in recent days."

Li Yunxing frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Chen Jinyan arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the grass people dare to guess about the anti-thieves in Jingzhou, maybe it is not as the people say, but just the homeless people. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it."

"The grass people themselves are in the small county town of Jingzhou, secretly investigating the iron mine. The flood was ruthless and washed away the county, and the grass people followed the fleeing people to Gangneung. ”

"When the old blacksmith saw that I was in great shape, and that he had no son or daughter to rely on, he accepted me, and took me as an apprentice, for me to eat and drink."

"Previously, a group of homeless people with swords came to the old blacksmith to make weapons, but the laws of the Wu Dynasty clearly prohibited the private casting of knives, so they refused. Therefore, the old blacksmith was beaten up, because I was still recuperating from my wounds, and I did not know about it until the blacksmith returned home. According to the old blacksmith's careful observation, many of them were holding official knives. ”

Chen Jinyan told the things he had experienced in the people one by one.

After Li Yunxing listened, he fell into silence.

After a while, he asked, "Does the old blacksmith know the group of outcasts with official swords you mentioned?" ”

Chen Jinyan shook his head and said, "The old blacksmith said that he had never seen it. ”
