King Yan and the generals waited in the lobby of the mansion, and after a short time, they saw a young man running in quickly.

Yan Keng did not have the slightest nervousness and restraint about to meet a prince, you must know that there are two preparatory princes in Beijing who play with him in class every day, and even the prince of the dynasty is kind to him, and only when he meets Zhu Yuanzhang will he feel the pressure.

He raised his leg and was about to enter the lobby, but as soon as he raised his head, he met the scrutinizing eyes of the generals, and his steps couldn't help but slow down.

I don't know what they were talking about before, but Yan Keng could feel the residual solemn atmosphere here.

Seeing that the comer was so young, the generals' eyes couldn't help but pass with contempt, and a few people narrowed their eyes to look at him.

Walking into the lobby, a unique iron-blooded aura of battlefield battles came to his face, and Yan Keng's somewhat excited emotions were instantly suppressed, followed by depression, and even a little ...... Fear?

He swallowed, and Yan Ya's advice before leaving came to mind.

"When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, remember to be cautious. The kings of the border domain are all fighting in blood and fire, they will not treat you so leniently as the crown prince, don't be dismissive! ”

His gaze wandered, and then he stopped at the middle-aged man in the center of the generals, his figure was quite strong, his face was dark, he had a long beard, he was wearing a python robe, his eyes revealed a fine light, he looked like Zhu Yuanzhang, very majestic, and was looking at him with scrutinizing eyes at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di.

Yan Keng recognized the main master, immediately knelt down and saluted, and said:

"Subordinate Yan Keng, meet His Royal Highness King Yan. The subordinates were ordered to come and take over the post of Tongzhi, the commander of Yanshan's right guard. ”

He didn't mention his father and brother, Yan Keng at this time was like any fledgling young man, wanting to break out of the world on his own.

Zhu Di said lightly "um" and said:

"Get up. Since you are here to defend the border, you must remember to abide by the rules of the army and do not overstep them. ”

"I'm going to lead the army to go on an expedition, and then you will lead Yanshan to guard a thousand households on the right side, and stay in Beiping Mansion to guard it."

Since you have to take care of this second son of King Jingping, you will take care of it to the end. Beiping is a big city, and it is the rear, and there is absolutely no problem with safety, so he will be gilded a few times, and then sent back to Beijing to be his son-in-law.

This is Zhu Di's idea.

It's no wonder that Zhu Di has such an attitude, Yan Keng is too young, as the saying goes, "if you have no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well", although Zhu Yuanzhang praised him.

And Zhu Di has also maintained a skeptical attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to recognize people over the years.

After all, in his eyes, the last Li Jinglong, who was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, has no big achievements except for good military training, isn't this another Zhao Kuo who talks on paper?

For Zhu Di, who crawled out of the pile of dead people and had already made great achievements at this time, he was indeed qualified to look down on these two "second generations", and he was also worried that if this guy came nonsense, he would not delay his major event.

The left-behind mission is simply tailor-made.

But this perfect plan in Zhu Di's eyes did not satisfy Yan Keng, and he immediately said:

"Lord Yu, Keng is here to fight against foreign captives, protect the northern frontier, and serve the imperial court! It's not like sitting in the city and eating all day long! Please also ask Your Highness to allow your subordinates to go on the expedition with the army! ”

Zhu Di sneered when he heard this:

"Expedition? Do you think war is a game you play? It's nonsense! If you look at you, and if you read two books on war, you will feel that you understand military affairs, and if you are allowed to go to the battlefield like this, I don't know how many of my soldiers and brothers will be killed. ”

"Yan Tongzhi." At this time, a general spoke, he was about forty years old, and he seemed very steady and old:

"Mengren is brave, although our army has won many victories, but the casualties are also heavy, even His Royal Highness King Yan is inevitably injured, and our generals have died countless times in these years.

"What's more, the conditions of the Beidi soldiers are difficult, not as good as the guards of the Beijing Division, you are a newcomer, and you are afraid that you will not be adaptable, so you should sit in this Beiping City for a period of time, be familiar with military affairs, and then make plans."

These words were originally kind, telling this young man that the sword has no eyes and the battle is hard, but it is not the feather fan you imagined that you can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, that is, you have to go to the battlefield, and you have to adapt to it first.

didn't want this sentence to anger Yan Keng, as if he was saying that he was greedy for life and afraid of death. He is a high-minded and arrogant person, the son of King Jingping, the younger brother of the contemporary Yue Guogong, how can he stand such humiliation?

His face was flushed with anger, and he immediately said loudly:

"Subordinates are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of hard work! The subordinates are skilled in bows, horses, swords, and swords, and they will not be ignorant of military affairs! If this general doesn't believe him, he can try with his subordinates and see who is capable! It's just that if you win, your subordinates will go out with the army. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di was stunned and shouted:

"How daring! Commander Hong is your superior, you know a commander, how dare you challenge him, but you still know that you are inferior and inferior? ”

Yan Keng was indignant, but under the gaze of King Yan, he had no choice but to clench his fists:

"Commander Hong, my subordinates are rude, please forgive me."

The general waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, he was a good person, and he could see that this kid had some background, and the other party said something offensive, so he just didn't hear it.

Zhu Di's face softened, and at the same time, he nodded secretly in his heart.

can say this, but he is not a real gold-plated and blessed person, he is not afraid of fighting, he has the least courage and blood of a martial artist, and he is not a gentleman who holds his own identity.

His impression of Yan Keng was a little better.

However, if you want to go to the battlefield like this, it is still not enough, and if this kid dies in the north, it will inevitably be difficult for his father to explain, after all, the Duke of Yue is famous for being favored by His Majesty.

"Shihong, you go and have a good time with him." Zhu Di turned his head and ordered, and then said: "Yan Tongzhi, if you are defeated by this Zhu Tongzhi's men, you will not mention the matter of the army." ”

A strong man with an old-fashioned and serious face walked out, he was the commander of Yanshan's right guard, Zhu Neng, this person was burly, muscular, and extremely tall, which made people stunned when they saw it, and when they went to that station, it was like an iron tower.

"Yan Tongzhi, you can think clearly, Shihong can hold the stone lock with one hand." There are generals who speak.

"Zhu Tongzhi went out last time, but he killed more than 40 Mongolian troops in a row, Yan Tongzhi is by no means his opponent, so he still admits defeat early to avoid this flesh and blood suffering." Another general said.

Yan Keng's words in his ears were unheard, he looked at Zhu Neng, who was taller than him in front of him, and there was not a trace of fear in his eyes.

He turned back first, came to the courtyard, and took off his robe, revealing a short beating.

"Please!"
