Chapter 252: The princess invites
Zhang Xiaobao originally belonged to the command of the Micheng Army, and he only moved here because he followed Lu Tianhui, Micheng is his hometown, and if he goes back, maybe he can go home to see his parents and brothers.
The former teammates have begun to pack up their things, everyone left so simply, and they looked like they would never come again, Zhang Xiaobao hesitated.
"If you want to go back, go with it." Lu Tianhui squatted down and comforted softly, "You haven't seen your family for almost a year, when the Liang army will attack Xiliang, the danger is not something that everyone can predict, if you go back, at least you can keep you safe." ”
Zhang Xiaobao's eyebrows furrowed, and the young man with a milky voice, puffed: "What do you mean?" Do you think I'm afraid of going to war? ”
Lu Tianhui pouted, he was not afraid of going to the battlefield, he was afraid of pain...... Seeing Lu Tianhui's awkward expression, Zhang Xiaobao's cheeks flushed, and he stomped his feet in shame: "I knew that you all laughed at me for crying too loudly when I applied the medicine last time!" ”
"Ah, no, no." Lu Tianhui panicked and denied it again and again, "I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh, our Xiaobao is the strongest." ”
Zhang Xiaobao crossed his waist, pouted, and made a decision arrogantly: "I won't go back, maybe I won't come back in the future, why are all the limelight of annihilating Xiliang out of you, I also want to participate." ”
There are too many traces of angry words, but when he thinks that Xiaobao is willing to stay with him, Lu Tianhui is very happy.
"Then you can decide, you can't go back, the king of Chu will leave in two days."
"Let's go, let's go." Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, not caring, "I see that the King of Chu is suddenly leaving, but he is afraid of the battle behind, you said that he has not been asked to go to the front line, what is he afraid of......" Zhang Xiaobao couldn't control his mouth again, and began to babble and complain.
This matter came really suddenly, Shen Tianming did not receive any news from the Jingshi here, so the king of Chu said that he was going back, and he also used the banner of the emperor's serious illness.
Even if such news is told in front of them, when it reaches the army, everyone is panicked and easily distracted.
On the eve of departure, the king of Chu deliberately avoided him and did not meet him, Shen Tianming couldn't see him, so he naturally couldn't ask about his father's situation and the specific reason for this matter, until the king of Chu got on the carriage back to Beijing, Shen Tianming looked like he was in a fog.
Bai Shuo thought that Shen Tianming would be clearer, but he didn't expect that the two of them were both simple.
The two took a moment to get together to discuss the next tactics and chatted about the topic.
"Do you mean to say that His Majesty didn't give the order to come?" Bai Shuo was suspicious.
Shen Tianming shook his head: "No, I thought that all of you had received the will, but I just didn't know it." ”
"I haven't received it either!" Bai Shuo was shocked, "Could it be that only the King of Chu has received the will?" He's taken all the guards of the Secret City. ”
The more we talk, the more wrong it becomes, Shen Tianming has just recovered his royal identity, the forces behind him are not yet mature, and it doesn't matter if the contact with the capital is not close, but Bai Shuo has the background of the Bai family, and it is not difficult to inquire about the news from the capital.
"Bai Hua!"
"The subordinates are here."
"You ride back to the capital, first make sure that my father is safe, and then explore the imperial city, if Your Majesty is really sick and unable to govern the court, then the early dynasty will be suspended, and there will be no ministers to go to the court, the king of Chu has a little problem, send someone to keep an eye on him."
Bai Hua was stunned for a moment, he has been the deputy general by Bai Shuo's side since he was a child, in such an important place at the border, he actually broke himself apart, and he was not by Bai Shuo's side, how could he rest assured.
"General, are you sure you let your subordinates go?"
Bai Shuo paused, his eyes firm: "Yes, I don't worry about handing over this matter to others, my father is already paralyzed, if the King of Chu makes trouble in the palace, no one can stop him, if you go back, you can also mobilize the guards of the White Mansion, remember, you must protect my father and Your Majesty!" If there is any situation, send me a message immediately. ”
Bai Hua bowed: "Subordinates obey orders." ”
If these arguments are just used by the king of Chu to coax them, then the king of Chu must have a plan to return to the palace, His Majesty sent out the guards of the capital, and the guard force of the entire capital was greatly weakened.
Looking at Bai Shuo's anxious and sweaty appearance, Shen Tianming said lightly: "Is General Bai suspicious of King Chu?" Bai Shuo glanced at him: "Don't you doubt it?" ”
The broken hair on his forehead covered Shen Tianming's eyes, and his blood disappeared when Shen Dewen died, and now he just wanted revenge.
"My task is to lead the troops to annihilate Xiliang, and I don't think much about the rest."
Bai Shuo was puzzled: "Doesn't the Fifth Highness have any thoughts about the position of the prince?" ”
"Prince?" Shen Tianming was dazed, his black and white pupils twitched slightly, and he could see that he really hadn't thought about it, "Do you say I'm the prince?" How is it possible, in terms of knowledge and politics, which prince is not more suitable than me. ”
"You are a descendant of the Middle Palace, just with this identity, you have a lot of advantages compared to other princes, and the situation is ......" Bai Shuo sighed, since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, no matter which prince ascends to the throne, he will deal with the person who poses a threat as soon as possible.
The fifth prince has been in exile for many years, and it is not easy to recover his identity.
At the thought that after the King of Chu became the new emperor, he would kill Shen Tianming, Bai Shuo shuddered.
"And what does General Bai think?" Shen Tianming asked rhetorically, his clear eyebrows were elegant and indifferent, "The factional battle between the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the Bai family has not yet stood in line." ”
Bai Shuo's eyes dodged, avoiding this topic: "My Bai clan is brave and loyal, and I am only loyal to Emperor Daliang, and now that Your Majesty is still here, the Bai clan will not participate in these battles." ”
Shen Tianming smiled and lifted his lips lightly: "I thought that General Bai would be more optimistic about King Chu." ”
"Where to start?" Bai Shuo raised an eyebrow.
Shen Tianming said: "Wasn't General Bai the companion of the King of Chu when he was young. ”
"You know!"
Shen Tianming spread his hands: "Isn't this something that everyone knows?" I know, don't be so surprised. ”
Like a caught little tail, he wants to deny it but can't.
"I do have some relationship with the King of Chu, but it doesn't mean that my Bai clan is on the side of the King of Chu, in fact, the King of Qi also ......, "Hey! The more you talk about it, the more chaotic it becomes, the kings of Qi are dead, what else is there to mention.
As long as the dispute between the princes is involved, the atmosphere will become grim and embarrassing, not to mention that Shen Tianming is still beside him, if he talks more about supporting the king of Chu, wouldn't it be disgusting to Shen Tianming.
"General Bai will be a general who can reassure the monarch."
Shen Tianming's words pierced Bai Shuo's heart, all the battles after he took over as Shuai Yin, Shen Tianming saw it in his eyes, he thought that he would be the same as Lu Tianhui, hating him and not optimistic about him.
"Do you really think so?"
Bai Shuo's tone was much softer, he was like an immature child who needed to be coaxed.
But Shen Tianming didn't follow his topic, but frowned, and said seriously: "I heard that you like Su Qingyan?" ”
With a bang, Bai Shuo's reason was broken!
"Huh? This, this ......" "That's not going to work. Shen Tianming crossed his arms and severely reprimanded him for this thought, "Su Qingyan is my brother Alin's wife, if you dare to covet her, I will be anxious with you, and besides, you two don't fight in the army, otherwise, I will be on Alin's side." ”
Last time, he was injured by mistake, and his chest hurt for a whole month, and it has only now gotten better.
On the wide official road, an army that was originally heading towards the secret city suddenly made a half-detour, turned a corner and went in another direction.
