After chatting with Emperor Jingyu for less than ten minutes, this conversation ended. From beginning to end, Jing Yu didn't ask Luo Chong about 'how many soldiers and horses you have to help me defeat the Qingyuan Army'.

Because it was a vain question to ask, Emperor Jingyu had long disbelieved the similar promises made by his courtiers.

Especially the military generals, before the battle, they swore and shouted, give me 20,000 soldiers and horses, and promise to beat the enemy, but in reality, those who have some dignity will die on the battlefield, and those who have no dignity will come back and cry bitterly and ask the emperor for forgiveness.

Mu Hanshan, the only one who can fight, became the emperor of the soil in the western Xinjiang a few years ago, and now he is directly independent.

However, through this communication, Emperor Jingyu has some understanding of Luo Chong's character: he is a great master of martial arts, and everything he does now is just enjoying life, in fact, he doesn't see the position of emperor in his eyes at all.

I can't tell the specific reason, anyway, Emperor Jingyu really believes that Luo Chong, this kid, really doesn't look down on the so-called throne, and he has a more exciting life to enjoy.

Of course, Jing Yu can't say how wonderful it is, but there is a faint envy in his heart: If I were like this, I might not want to be this emperor......

The final conclusion is that this is a courtier who is almost impossible to control, but in general principles, there is no need to be too wary of him. If you don't mess with him, he won't bite you in turn.

Although Jing Yu's character is poor, he still has some eyes for people, after all, he has been an emperor for nearly twenty years, and he has dealt too much with all kinds of ministers below.

After leaving the palace, Luo Chong did not return to the barracks, and lived in Princess Yongning's mansion again, because he knew that she ......

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the same day, Yongning came.

"Congratulations, you've done a great job again. ”

Seeing him return triumphantly, Yongning was happy from the bottom of his heart, but still asked: "Do you think that the Qingyuan cavalry will still come to the capital to retaliate?"

"No, it won't. ”

This question, Luo Chong answered Emperor Jingyu once in the palace, and then said at this moment: "Even if they haven't been disabled, they are stunned, what they should do is to hurry back to the nest to lick their wounds, how can they dare to come over." ”

"You really did a miracle, and I knew that you could do things that no one else could do. ”

Yongning's beautiful eyes unabashedly bloomed with a strange brilliance, staring at him and saying softly, "It depends on whether you are happy or not." ”

Luo Chong smiled and didn't answer the question.

But Her Royal Highness refused to let him go, and her tender eyes contained a sense of aggressiveness, and asked him, "Am I right?"

"Yes and no. ”

Luo Chong could only reply vaguely: "The key depends on what is going on." ”

Yongning pursed his lips and smiled, walked past his face with a faint fragrance, slowly came to the window, looked at the elegant little garden outside, and didn't say anything for a long time. In fact, under the calm on the surface, I was quite nervous at this moment.

Because then she was about to ask: "I heard that you haven't married yet, and you only have a child daughter-in-law in your hometown, right?"

It is said that this kind of talk should be more appropriate for someone who is suitable for the matchmaker to ask Luo Chong, but Princess Yongning thought about it, but there was no suitable candidate. The key is that when Luo Chong first came to the capital, he had no social circle to speak of here, and he was his most familiar friend.

Forget it, let's do it yourself! Her Royal Highness the princess also summoned up this courage and fought for her own happiness.

"Yes. ”

But for Luo Chong, this is the most headache topic, what is the sin of wanting to be an innocent man in this life, but it means that you must refuse others ruthlessly?

Yongning was so nervous that he didn't dare to look back at him, just looked out the window and asked softly, "You are also almost twenty years old, and you have already reached the age of marriage, right?"

"Yes. ”

Luo Chong responded stupidly, and actually had a strange feeling of being interrogated.

Seeing him so passive, the delicate-minded Yongning suddenly had a bad premonition, and realized that if he said it too clearly in the future, he was likely to get the answer he least wanted to hear from him, and he would drive this matter into a dead end.

This will not work!

Are you too anxious?

Later, she didn't dare to say or ask, and then it became: "Once the reward comes down, you will return to Guangling, right?"

"Well, it's been a long time since I came out, and my family must be worried all the time. Luo Chong nodded and replied, "It's almost time to go back." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Yongning's love fell suddenly, but this was far from enough to crush her, and after a few seconds of silence, she actually asked again: "Can you take me, let me go out for a walk, go out and see, since I was a child, I have never been to other places, and the farthest is Muyang County." ”

"Okay. ”

With such a request, Luo Chong would refuse ruthlessly, and immediately agreed: "As long as you can ask for leave." ”

Leave?

Yongning was already accustomed to his way of speaking, so he replied softly: "Father is too lazy to care about me, as long as I am willing to agree to some conditions of the imperial concubine in some aspects, there should be no problem in leaving the capital for a while." ”

The customs of the Jin Dynasty in some aspects were not as strict as in ancient times, and girls were much freer before they got married.

Moreover, there are some things that Yongning did not say: Knowing that I am with you, it is estimated that my father will also be happy to see it, right?

The marriage of the royal family only talks about interests, not feelings, if his eldest daughter has a way to firmly tie Luo Chong, a super thug, it is no wonder that Emperor Jingyu is unwilling.

"Okay, I'll take you around. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand: "First take the land route, enter the Quang Ninh territory, and then take you to the canal by boat." You're not seasick, are you?"

Yongning shook his head, smiled, and replied with tenderness in his eyes: "Listen to you, I'm just ...... Very much looking forward to it. ”

"Hmm. ”

Luo Chong nodded, estimating that his reward should come down in the next few days.

Three days later, the scouts on this side of the capital were really determined, and the remaining more than 10,000 horsemen of the Qingyuan cavalry were assembled in a small town dozens of miles away, but they did not come to the capital, but made a detour to the north, obviously to return to Qingyuan.

As soon as this news reached the ears of Emperor Jingyu, it had already spread in the capital. Many things are like this, and His Majesty the Emperor, as the most honorable prisoner in the deep palace compound, may be the last to know.

Not to mention the reaction of the military officials in the court, anyway, the people's call for Luo Chong's promotion is getting higher and higher.

A few days later, Wang Zhuoqing, the right attendant of the military department, came to Luo Chong and revealed in private: "Congratulations, General Luo, your reward has been decided, and the general of Zhengsanpin's conquest allows you to form a cavalry team of 5,000 people, and expand the scope of your cavalry to the three provinces of Guangning, Jinzhou and Yuzhou, which are not under the jurisdiction of the general army of any province, and are directly responsible to the emperor and the military department." This is a very strange but very special appointment, but you must know the specific meaning of this 'conscripted general', right?"

Luo Chong nodded, how could he not understand that the emperor and the imperial court meant: You are allowed to form a cavalry team of five thousand people, but when necessary, you have to lead the army to conquer the Qingyuan Kingdom and give a bad breath for our Jin Dynasty.

The so-called conquest of the general is just a transition, because the imperial court really can't think of a more suitable position for Luo Chong: placing him in the capital, or obeying the orders of the general army of a certain province, will greatly limit his development, and the 5,000 cavalry may not be able to be formed for many years.

You have to let him maintain his riding style, just one Quang Ninh province is not enough, and you will be given the boundaries of two provinces at your disposal.

This is not indulgence, but because the imperial court can't give him the money to recruit, raise, and train soldiers, it can only give him a title, a piece of soil, and watch the development himself.

The current Jin Dynasty is already sick and rushed to the doctor, lost Mu Hanshan, and finally jumped out of a Luo Dong, at this stage will definitely be pampered as much as possible, but one day, when he is really radiant and powerful in the world, there will definitely be a group of people who are jealous, and will criticize him in the court and in the emperor's ear.

This is how the human heart is, when they can use you, they can do anything, and when they have eaten and drunk enough, and there is no need to worry about it, they will start to think about how to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

There is nothing to say about the process of accepting the reward, on the Jinluan Palace, Luo Chong cast a large-scale illusion, stood in the middle of the hall and got the holy decree in a big way, what kneeling and kowtowing to thank the Lord Longen and the like, all to hell with it.

On the day of the award, Emperor Jingyu also set up a dinner party in the imperial garden to entertain Luo Chong, and there were only two key questions during the banquet, Jingyu asked: "Aiqing formed a cavalry, where did the money come from?"

"Rob!"

Luo Chong replied: "Now that bandits are rampant, I will exterminate all the bandits in the three provinces, and rob all the property they have robbed, and it should be enough to raise 5,000 men and horses." In this way, it can bring peace to the local area without the need for a tael of silver from the imperial court, and it can also be used to train troops, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Actually, that's how my current Five Hundred Rangers came out. ”

"Good!"

Jing Yu slapped the table and said happily: "Expand your riding range to three provinces, in fact, that's what I think." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

Luo Chong laughed in his heart, you don't need to pay a penny, you can still bring all kinds of benefits, but you won't applaud.

"I believe others flattering me, but what ...... you?"

Jing Yu held the wine glass and said with a smile: "Actually, as a great martial arts master, you are on an equal footing with me in terms of Cheng Dù. ”

He, the emperor, is like this, when he uses you, he can say even the best words, but when he needs you to carry the black pot for him, it will be extremely ruthless and unceremonious.

Next, Jing Yu asked again: "What's the matter with you and Yongning?"

"Nothing?" Luo Chong pretended to be stupid.

"The eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, follow you all the way south and down to play in the mountains and rivers......"

Jing Yu played with the jade wine glass in his hand, and said in a low tone: "This kind of thing will inevitably spread all over the world, she is a girl who has not yet married, don't you think about her reputation?" Now, I just ask you from the position of a father, Luo Dong, what do you think?"

"It's better to go with the flow. ”

Luo Chong has never been a dish for him, the emperor, and of course his tone was relaxed when he answered: "Since she is willing to follow, I am also willing to take it, so let's go all the way and talk about it depending on the situation." Anyway, she, the eldest princess, has already resisted marriage several times, and there is no good way for Her Majesty to take her. ”

"Resist marriage?"

Jing Yu put down the wine glass and sighed in a low voice: "I'm afraid, her eldest sister has brought all the other princes to ruin, if it weren't for her mother's affection, I would really be ......."

When he said this, he glared at Luo Chong and said silently: Don't think I don't know, this last time to resist marriage, it was your kid who was secretly playing ghosts. Tobe Shangshu cried in front of me all day long, and the second boy of his family was a little insane, and after returning home, he was studying fishing and hunting every day, identifying wild fruits and other wild survival skills, and dared to eat anything in a mess......
