At this time, several of the personal guards outside the door of the study were silent, all of them were lying on their backs, as if King An inside was reprimanding them.

And in the study, there was a constant reprimand from King An: "You are an unsuccessful thing, you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, that "funeral knife" has come back, and it has revived, but it has hurt my innocent people in Ningxia!"

Zilong walked quickly to the outside of the study and said loudly: "Xu Zilong asks to see the prince!"

The reprimand inside gradually subsided, and after a while, there was a weak voice: "Zilong, come in!" Zilong smiled at these personal guards, walked in, and saw Zhu Zhi hanging his head and kneeling in the middle of the study.

Sun Jingwen frowned and stood aside, but An Wang was slumped on the Taishi chair, looking weak.

Zilong bowed down and said, "Xu Zilong has seen the prince!"

King An waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, Zilong came here today, what is the matter?" Xu Zilong succeeded in offering a plan a few days ago, but King An was more and more favored by Zilong, so no matter how angry he was today, he didn't show it in front of Zilong.

"I just heard that Black Wind Village is resurrected?" Zilong said directly. I didn't want his words to be in Zhu Zhi's ears, but I heard Zilong's ridicule of him, but at the moment, Zhu Zhi's heart was full of resentment and he remembered it in his heart.

"Yes!" King An nodded heavily, and said, "It's all this rebel! I actually let the owner of the village pretend to be a thief and escape, but the one he killed was fake!"

Now he has brought a large number of bandits and bandits to burn, kill and loot, and yesterday he even attacked several granaries in the north of the city and killed dozens of officers and soldiers! Now that I have heard that the emperor has already known about this, Long Yan is furious, and he is afraid that the Qin Cha is already on the way, and the will to condemn the crime is about to come!"

Hearing that the Black Wind Bandits had actually attacked the granary, Zilong was shocked in his heart, these bandits were just mountain bandits and thieves, how could they dare to act like this. Moreover, Ningxia is very far away from Jingshi, at least two thousand miles away, what happened here is only a few days, how can Jingshi respond so quickly.

Thinking about this, Zilong also understood where the joints were, and immediately said: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid that this time the bandits are raging, it's not so simple!"

"Oh?" said King An, who was shocked for a moment, "and try to say it!"

Zilong slowly said his inference at the moment, Sun Jingwen was shocked after hearing it, and said: "Lord Wang, I'm just afraid that what Zilong said is reasonable, this time the matter is not a simple bandit raging. It is likely that Liu Jin of the Jingshi realized that what happened last time was done by us, and he took revenge on us!"

"Hmph!" King An said abruptly, "Liu Jin is just a eunuch, a slave of my royal family! He actually calculated against me in every possible way! Regardless of whether this incident has anything to do with him or not, the top priority at the moment is to exterminate the Black Wind Village, lest my Ningxia be further poisoned!"

"Father!" At this time, Zhu Zhi raised his head and said, "I can dispel the Black Wind Village once, I can destroy him a second time, and I also ask my father to allow me to make meritorious contributions!"

"Hmm!" King An pondered for a moment before he said, "That's it, don't bother the second master, this time you can continue to take command of the expedition!"

"Lord Wang, Zilong also asks to go on the expedition to follow!" Zilong felt that if he really had anything to do with Liu Jin this time, he was afraid that it would not be so simple, but he was worried that Zhu Zhi acted recklessly and fell into the trap of the black wind bandits, so he asked to follow.

Zhu Zhi had just misunderstood Zilong, and when he heard Zilong say this, he only thought that Zilong looked down on himself and wanted to rob him of his credit, Huo Ran stood up, glared at Zilong angrily, and said: "I can exterminate Black Wind Village for the first time, and I can exterminate him for the second time, without the help of others!"

King An also had high hopes for Zhu Zhi, Zilong was not there, so he reprimanded him, but in front of Zilong, he couldn't pull his face down and reprimand Zhu Zhi no matter what.

Therefore, seeing Zhu Zhi's strong request, he immediately said: "Okay! Then are you willing to make a military order?"

"The child can!" Zhu Zhi was afraid that Zilong would rob him of his credit, and immediately said, "The child is willing to make a military order, if he does not win this time, he will not exterminate the Black Wind bandits, and he will not capture the bandit leader 'Funeral Knife', and he is willing to be dealt with by military law!"

"Okay!" King An perked up slightly and said, "This time, the palace guards will transfer another 3,000 men and horses to you! plus 10,000 garrisons in the north of the city, a total of 13,000 people, are you sure?"

Zhu Zhi originally wanted to proudly say that it would be enough to bring the garrison in the north of the city last time, but after thinking about it, this time the Black Wind Bandits are menacing, if there are fewer people, they will not be able to exterminate the Black Wind Bandits, but I am afraid that it will not be good.

The three thousand guards of the palace are all skilled in drills and superb in martial arts, and if they take them with them, at least the grasp of capturing the "mourning knife" is much greater.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhiwei arched his hand and said: "The child must be for the people of Ningxia City and the father to clear the bandits!"

"Okay, you go down quickly and get ready!" King An nodded and waved his hand to let Zhu Zhi retreat. Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Zilong shook his head slightly at the moment, and said to King An: "Then Zilong will retire!"

"Well!" King An said, "You can go down and rest first!" This time, Commander He will follow Zhi'er on the expedition, and then Zilong will act as the head of the guards, and lead the total remaining two thousand guards in the palace, and the safety responsibilities will be bothered by Lao Zilong!"

"Don't worry, Zilong is here, and he won't let Xiaoxiao watch the palace for half a step!" Zilong surrendered his order and retreated.

When I came to the door, I happened to see Wan'er outside. greeted him with a smile at the moment.

"How's it going?" Wan'er was originally going to follow Zilong closely, but after thinking about it, at this time, King An was reprimanding Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi was the strongest person, if he was seen by himself, the little brother and sister love that was finally repaired, I was afraid that it would be gone again, so I had to hesitate outside the study and wait for news.

I just saw Zhu Zhi come out with a smug face, and I was going to say hello, but I didn't want Zhu Zhi to be angry with Zilong, so I ignored Wan'er.

Wan'er was also about to be depressed, when she saw Zilong retreat later, she couldn't help it at the moment and asked directly.

"Ningxia City has indeed suffered heavy losses this time!" Zilong said sadly, "This time the prince sent the little prince to lead the army to conquer!"

"Didn't you ask to go with the army?" Wan'er also understood Zilong's thoughts, and immediately asked.

"Why not!" Zilong said with a wry smile as he walked back with Wan'er, "It's just that somehow, I thought that I had made peace with Zhu Zhi at the last banquet, and I didn't want to offend him this time, and I was excluded from this conquest army!"

"No wonder ......" Wan'er also understood why Zhu Zhi ignored herself just now.

"What's the wonder?" Zilong asked directly.

"It's nothing!" Wan'er shook her head and said, "But the eldest brother didn't do his best last time, and if he goes again this time, I'm afraid it's also dangerous!"

"Who said it wasn't!" Zilong nodded and said, "This time there is still Liu Jin's shadow behind him, I'm afraid that this expedition is indeed unpredictable!"

"Huh?" Wan'er's eyes widened and she asked, "Liu Jin, why did you get involved with him again?"

"It's just speculation!" At that moment, Zilong told Wan'er about the speculation in the room and Sun Jingwen, Wan'er listened to it, pondered for a moment, and said: "I also agree with your speculation!

"Don't worry!" Zilong patted Wan'er on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "This time, the prince is also in order to make a foolish decision, and transferred the three thousand guards of the palace to the little prince, I believe that with this well-trained and strong martial arts guard, even if the little prince can't do his best, he can get out of the way!"

"Oh?" Wan'er was also relieved, and said, "That only hope that the eldest brother will be victorious and return safely!" At that moment, the two stopped talking about this, and walked back to Wan'er's courtyard with heavy thoughts.

......

But said that Zhu Zhi turned around directly and found Qiu Yue, Qiu Yue heard that this time King An allowed Zhu Zhi to lead the troops to the battle, and the deputy general was himself, and he was very happy at the moment. So he said goodbye to Zhu Zhi, went to the garrison camp in the north of the city, cleaned up the soldiers, and set out on a certain day.

Then Zhu Zhi came to find He Jin, the commander of the palace guards, and He Jin listened to King An's order, so he had to order three thousand palace guards to listen to Zhu Zhi's dispatch.

Zhu Zhi was able to take charge of the army again, but he was also excited, and that night he rushed to the garrison camp in the north of the city with 3,000 palace guards, preparing to set out the army on the second day.

Qiu Yue and He Jin also knew that the bandits were harassing urgently, so they did not object.

On the fifth watch of the second day, the officers and men of the three armies had a full meal and fired artillery out of the camp. Zhu Zhi made meritorious contributions and personally led a thousand cavalry troops first, and He Jin arranged ten of the most skilled palace guards to accompany him.

Qiu Yue led 9,000 troops to follow, thinking that the Chinese army. Because He Jin was close to Zilong, he was arranged by Zhu Zhi to lead the three thousand palace guards with the strongest combat effectiveness to escort grain and grass as a rear team.

The little prince Zhu Zhi was dressed all the way and led a thousand fine horses, galloping all the way, and quickly swept north. Along the way, there were no people, only the burned and empty village houses, and the looted granaries stood on the side, as if mocking the incompetence of the officials and soldiers.

The soldiers and soldiers were all blushing, obviously ashamed of themselves and others as officials and soldiers, but they were powerless against the bandits, resulting in the displacement of the people. Each of them secretly tightened the weapons in their hands, hoping that they could meet the bandits earlier and kill a few to relieve their anger.

Seeing that the morale of the generals under his command was high, the little prince was secretly proud in his heart, and his confidence was greatly increased, but in a moment, he crossed the farm in the north of Ningxia City and plunged into the mountainous area where the Black Wind Village was entrenched.

In the mountains, this cavalry is very inconvenient, and the cavalry that could have traveled 100 miles a day is considered fast if it can travel 40 miles in the mountains.

The little prince just wanted to hurry up and take this vanguard cavalry to the Black Wind Village.

It's just that this mountain road is difficult to walk and can't go fast, so the little prince has to be patient and march slowly.
