Inside Jiangyin City.

This place is only eighty miles away from Yingtian.

With the current footsteps of Zhao Ding and the others, they will be able to enter the city almost the next morning.

Looking at the guards in front of him, there were two or three big cats and small kittens, all of whom were wearing tattered clothes.

Zhang San looked at Zhao Ding with some resentment and said: "Lord, we have all returned to Daqian, and now we see that after Yizhou, we are about to arrive in Yingtian, we don't need to do this." ”

The original team of 500 people was forced by Zhao Ding into more than 50 teams, and there were only ten people in each team.

And their team is only him, Lu Tao and Zhao Ding.

Even Yang Fu and Yang Hu were dismantled by Zhao Ding and scattered to respond to the sky.

The most excessive day and night of the journey, he was a mule and a horse along the way.

The horse was not tired, he led the horse and dragged Zhao Ding.

Ma was tired, he led the horse and carried Zhao Ding on his back.

After a day and a night's journey, his feet were almost worn bald.

And the green peach is in the back, carrying a small bag.

Riding a limited amount along the way, they spent three taels of silver on the mules that came "by the way" from the villagers.

"Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, in case your prince and I go to the banquet, what if Zhao Hua's kid gives your prince and me a bitter trick and puts himself in danger?"

Zhao Ding rolled his eyes, and bent down and slapped Zhang San on the back of the head who was leading the horse.

Zhang San pursed his lips and said with some resentment: "In my opinion, Lord Wang, you are Gou." ”

"Hey? What do you say, you tell your lord again. ”

Zhao Ding came to the fire, and he was about to smoke Zhang San when he took off his shoes.

Zhang San was so frightened that he hurriedly ran.

The green peach on the side, looking at the scene of his own prince and Zhang Sansan's trouble, hugged the clothes he carried with him, sat on the back of the mule and pursed his lips and smiled.

It seems that it has been a long time since I have seen my prince fighting with him.

……

Yingtian, inside the palace.

It was late at night.

Most of them have long since rested.

Outside the noon gate.

The two sedan chairs came to a quick stop.

A team of chamberlains dressed in court chamberlain costumes quickly walked out of the noon gate.

Seeing two young men in royal robes walking from under the sedan chair, he quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Two princes, please go back, Your Majesty has already rested at this time, if the two princes want to meet the saint, it is not too late to wait for tomorrow to dawn and then march into the palace to ask for a meeting." ”

The internal guard headed by is none other than Wang Lishi.

Half a year has passed at this moment.

The slender old eunuch didn't seem to have changed from before, the only change was that there seemed to be more white hair between his temples and silence.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng brothers, a professional smile still appeared on their faces.

Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng brothers were also shocked when they saw that it was Wang Lishi who walked out in person.

After glancing at each other.

In the gap where Zhao Gang did not react, Zhao Heng quietly took half a step back and put on a posture led by Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang's eyelids jumped wildly, but he could only clear his throat and look at Wang Lishi and said: "Father-in-law, come here late at night, this king doesn't want to, but the king of Jin didn't say that he had something important to report, and he had to be accompanied by this king, this is not a way, I can only come here late at night to disturb my father-in-law and father." ”

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Wang Lishi didn't say anything.

Zhao Heng's originally low-eyed eyes suddenly jumped.

Good guys, who the hell is it?

Why are you so shameless?

Obviously, you said that you took advantage of Zhao Ding's failure to come back to the palace to visit Zhao Ding, how could he be the king? ?

"Father-in-law, it's not...."

As soon as Zhao Heng wanted to speak, a sharp pain suddenly came from under his feet.

Looking down at Zhao Gang, who was standing in front, he didn't know when he had stepped on his toes, and while stepping on his toes, he came back to his senses quietly, looking at him with frowns.

Ahem....

The night was dark.

But under the illumination of the lights on both sides, Wang Lishi, who was close, could still barely see this scene clearly, his throat did not move at the moment, his expression cleared, and he turned his head and pretended not to see it.

After Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng brothers divided a "victory or defeat".

Only then did he clear his throat again and said, "I don't know what the two princes are talking about?" If you can, you can talk to the slave and maid, how about the slave and the maid convey it for the two princes? ”

As the great eunuch close to Zhao Chongyuan, he is also Zhao Chongyuan's most trusted right-hand man.

Others may not have this authority, but Wang Lishi still has this authority.

"This...."

"I'm afraid it's not good."

Before Zhao Gang could speak, Zhao Heng looked at Wang Lishi with a sneer.

Zhao Chongyuan cares most about the face of the royal family, especially the matter of the separation between their brothers and sisters, and he is extremely concerned, and now they are going to secretly beat Zhao Ding's little report when they enter the palace, in case outsiders know about this matter.

Wouldn't it be a loss of face for his royal family?

However, after all, Wang Lishi is an old eunuch who has been by Zhao Chongyuan's side for many years, although he doesn't know what Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng brothers are talking about, but looking at the posture of the brothers who want to speak and stop, they almost understand.

Immediately get out of the way.

Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng were also overjoyed when they saw this.

However, before the two of them could follow the path into the palace.

A group of palace guards in armor and torches had already trotted out of it.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng's faces changed slightly.

This team wearing armor and holding torches is no one else, but the most elite palace feather guards around Zhao Chongyuan, and now that the feather guards are here, it basically means that Zhao Chongyuan is here.

Sure enough, when the two of them just looked up, they looked at a small sedan chair carried by four people, and walked out slowly, and Zhao Chongyuan was looking at the two brothers with interest.

Poof!

Poof!

The two of them knelt straight on the ground.

"Father... Father! ”（*2）

"Second, fourth, come and let your father and me hear, what is the matter with you coming to your father in the middle of the night?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Chongyuan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng with a smile on his face: "It's still inconvenient to talk to Wang Lishi?" Come on, come closer, talk to your father. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the two, "Let me see, you two brothers, what great news is there now, which of your two younger brothers is this?" ”

"Well, in my opinion, it should be Lao Jiu, and now Lao Jiu has messed up my affairs, and your two brothers should be going to see the stitches.

No matter what, I have to find a way to let you Lao Tzu and I punish Lao Jiu.

So, do you two want to talk about it, how do you want to punish Lao Jiu?

Is it exile?

Or is it solitary confinement?

Or do you want to go back to Youzhou? Let Lao Jiu make meritorious contributions?

It's okay, you say, what do you say, your father and I will listen tonight. ”

Zhao Chongyuan looked at Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng with a smile.

It's just that every time Zhao Chongyuan says one more word, Zhao Gang and Zhao Heng brothers are one point lower.

Don't dare to raise your head at all!
