The sun is rising, outside the south gate of Qingcheng.

The 8,000 Silver Armor Army lined up neatly and was ready to go.

On the other side, Emperor Jingren and his Imperial Forest Army looked at each other from afar, and their momentum did not lose at all.

It has been many years since the founding of the Great Prosperity Kingdom, and there has not been such a big battle.

The emperor glanced at Lu Youzhi, who was low-browed and pleasing not far away, and stepped forward with a smile and patted Wen Chen's shoulder.

"What? Is there something uncomfortable, why are you covering your waist and eyes? ”

Wen Chen smiled and arched his hand, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, it's just that you didn't eat smoothly in the morning." ”

Every man will feel a pain in his lower abdomen after a night of dissatisfaction, and the pressure on the cavernous body cannot be released, and there must be several hours of recovery time.

Emperor Jingren smiled heartily and raised his voice slightly, "This time, you have to take care of your body, you must not forget my explanation to you, within a year, you have to try your best to give me an answer!" ”

He deliberately said that the matter of instructing Wen Chen to improve the steam loom was very ambiguous, which made Lu Youzhi, who was delicate-minded on the side, think wildly.

Wen Chen snorted secretly, Lao Yinbi, he is leaving, and he doesn't forget to pit Lao Tzu!

There was a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will do his best to serve my Dasheng!" ”

"Okay, it's not too early, it's important to hurry, I will treat the Tan family well, you can rest assured!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two of them talked and laughed, and there was a harmonious picture of gentlemen and ministers, which made people look quite comfortable.

Secretly, they fought many times, but no matter how Emperor Jingren hinted at the provocation, it was like a heavy punch on cotton, and he didn't get a response from Wen Chen.

Before the battle, Han Chuang turned over and waved his big hand.

"Let's go!"

Nearly 10,000 people escorted the troika and headed south.

Yuzhou, where Qingcheng is located, is only less than 300 miles away from Jingzhou, one of the territories of the King of Zhennan, but after crossing the border of the two states, it will continue to march south for seven days before it can reach the base camp of the King of Zhennan - Lincheng!

So the journey along the way is destined to be boring.

Occasionally, during breaks, Lu Youzhi in the carriage would open the curtains and look for His Royal Highness the prince.

But without exception, Wen Chen's complaints about his mother's dissatisfaction can always be heard.

"Mother, this carriage is too bumpy to sit on, can you rest for two days and then continue to hurry?"

"Mother, the dough is hard and the teeth are hard, the child wants to eat Guifenglou's elbow!"

"Mother, can't you just let Lingyu and Lingyu and me ride in a carriage, the children need their comfort!"

……

At this time, Concubine Chen will show feminine care and gently comfort this precious son who owes a lot.

In addition to not letting the two girls go with Wen Chen, he even really ordered the whole army to be stationed, and he took his son to the passing city to relax.

This made the soldiers who didn't know much about Wen Chen complain.

The march is like a war, you have to act according to the plan step by step, and these soldiers who are used to the battlefield and have strict discipline naturally don't like Wen Chen to be special at this time.

The most infuriating thing is that the more than 100 men brought by His Royal Highness the Prince from Qingcheng are also treated much better than them, almost all of a sudden, there is wine and meat, and they really can't be more happy!

Even Han Chuang, the general who had been looking forward to Wen Chen before, was full of complaints when he saw him suddenly exposing his true nature and acting like a gentleman, and frequently complained to his subordinates that he looked away.

On the eighth day of departure from Qingcheng, the sun was setting, and the army found an open area in the field, ready to set up camp and rest the soldiers and horses.

I saw Wen Chen holding a map, jumping out of the carriage and coming to Concubine Chen's side.

"Mother, the map shows that there is a small town three miles to the west, and the child wants to eat osmanthus cake, so my mother will take the child to buy it!"

This tone of requesting orders made Han Chuang, who was guarding Concubine Chen's side, very dissatisfied, and he snorted with a cold face.

"His Royal Highness, this time to welcome the return of His Royal Highness, in order to ensure your safety, there is a time limit on the prince's side, the army was originally able to pass through the Henan-Hebei border in seven days, it is because you have delayed the trip, so that we are still in Yuzhou today, I will hope that in the next few days, you can be honest, don't ask too much!"

This is not only Han Chuang's heart, but also the words of the silver armor army in their stomachs.

As the elite around the king of Zhennan, what they are most unaccustomed to is procrastination.

Wen Chen Jian raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "The surname is Han, how can you talk to His Royal Highness?" ”

"Do you know that I am different from the past, why do you dare to order me?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll go back and tell my father that he will remove you from the military?"

The attitude was really arrogant, and when he heard the anger of several silver-armored soldiers nearby, he stood up with a bang, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.

"What? Rebel isn't it? Sit down for Lao Tzu! Han Chuang turned around and scolded sharply.

As a close confidant of King Zhennan for many years, he will not be blamed for saying such a few ugly words, but this group of pawns under his hands is different, in case Wen Chen really holds a grudge, with his status as His Royal Highness, it is easy to ask for the lives of a few people.

Fortunately, Concubine Chen saw that the situation was not right, so she hurriedly came up to play a round, patted Wen Chen's chest and comforted, "Chen'er, General Han is also thinking about our safety, there is no malice, you must not hurt the harmony." ”

Wen Chen snorted and laughed, "It's okay if you don't hurt your anger, I have to eat this osmanthus cake in my mouth today, but now I have changed my mind, and I want General Han to personally escort me to the town to buy snacks, are you going?!" ”

Han Chuang's eyes were slightly cold, this kid had become so cautious compared to his timid and kind childhood, did he have to save face in front of everyone?

"What do I ask you? To go, or not to go?! ”

Wen Chen slapped the armor on Han Chuang's chest provocatively, and was extremely arrogant.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you have Lu accompany you?"

Everyone turned around and saw Lu Youzhi dressed in a green shirt and slowly walking towards them with his hands behind his back.

"The last general will see the military division!"

Han Chuang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"General Han, you will take someone with you, and it just so happens that Lu also wants to chat with His Royal Highness the Prince."

"No!"

Now that the military advisors have spoken, Han Chuang has no reason to refuse at this time, and turns around to prepare the horses.

Wen Chen frowned, along the way, Lu Youzhi didn't communicate much with himself except for saying hello in the morning and evening, he originally wanted to take the opportunity of being alone to try Han Chuang, what did this guy do when he suddenly stepped in?

The two got up and got on their horses and slowly wandered along the path of the plains.

Han Chuang in the rear took a few personal soldiers and followed not far away.

"Your Royal Highness, what are you thinking?"

Lu Youzhi smiled and looked at Wen Chen, who bowed his head and was silent.

Wen Chen glanced at him, "I'm thinking about osmanthus cake." ”

The middle-aged man in green shirt shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not the first time that His Majesty the Emperor has used a borrowed knife to kill people in front of Lu, if you can trust Lu, why don't you open your heart and chat a few words?" ”

Wen Chen was surprised, he didn't expect that his little Jiujiu would be able to hide from Lu for a long time, but he didn't expect Lao Lu to directly puncture this layer of window paper.

"Who has the emperor ever been separated from before?"

Lu Youzhi took a deep breath and looked at the slowly sinking red sun in the sky, "The minister and the lord." ”
