Chapter 283
The next day, Lei Er came to find Ren Ning.

"Old Ren, I heard from Datou that we are leaving soon?"

"Are you planning to go to Salt Lake?"

Ren Ning patted the grass beside him with a smile: "No rush. Just let them prepare first."

At least the large amount of gold and silver treasures, weapons and equipment brought by the camels must be settled first, and at the same time, they must wait for Matthew to completely integrate the various caravans.

These all take time.

Lei Er nodded, and sat down beside him.

"Time flies so fast." He looked up at the sky, "It's getting colder again, it seems like Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."

"Mid-Autumn Festival?" Ren Ning looked strange, "I see that you clearly want to eat mooncakes. It's a pity that Mid-Autumn Festival is over early."

He has been counting the days all the way west, so he naturally knows the current season.

"So fast?" Lei Er couldn't believe it.

After reading Ren Ning's notebook, he let out a long howl, "Fuck, my moon cake!"

Ren Ning laughed out loud and didn't answer, Lei Er suddenly lost the desire to perform.

He sat up straight, "I don't know how the fortress, Dingxi County, and Guangxin County are doing now."

Ren Ning nodded and remained silent.

They are already too far away from the border of Yunchui, and now that the trade route is cut off, all news cannot be transmitted here.

Just stop worrying about it.

Speaking of domestic, Lei Er suddenly became interested.

"Old Ren, this year is coming to an end soon."

"The one-year training of the princes should have ended, and it is time to return to Xingji City."

He rubbed his fists together: "Would you like to bet on which prince or prince can be No. 1?"

Ren Ning stroked his bare chin thoughtfully.

He understood what Lei Er meant.

Emperor Changxing is not young anymore, and his health has not been good.

He has yet to set up a reserve.

There has been much discussion in the empire about this.

Last year, he suddenly proposed the prince's frontier experience, which immediately alarmed all the high-ranking officials and wealthy families in Xingji City.

After discussing privately, everyone felt that this experience should be Emperor Changxing's selection of the crown prince, that is, the establishment of the crown prince.

Prince.

Lei Er muttered the word.

Suddenly, I felt that the sauced lamb shank that I had just stuffed in my mouth was no longer fragrant.

That will be the next person to sit on the dragon chair after Emperor Changxing, and also their future immediate boss.

This person's disposition and thinking will affect the fate of Yunchui in the next few decades, and it will also affect their future.

In the future, whether these frontier generals can continue to ride their horses and whip their horses in the frontier or stay in the border and watch the foreigners trample on rivers and mountains will almost depend on the results of this experience.

So be careful and careful.

flutter.

Lei Er spat out the bones in his mouth and pondered on his own.

"The eldest prince is also the King of Qin. Although he was the first to be promoted to the prince, he has always been the only one who has no image of a king. I look down on him."

"The second prince is also the King of Jin. We are most familiar with that fat man. After all, his training place is in Guangxin Yingshan camp."

"He's not bad. It's a pity that he doesn't look good, and he's lustful and inner-phobic. The most important thing is that he has no self-motivation."

"If such a person becomes Yun Chui's emperor..."

As Lei Er spoke, he shuddered.

Ren Ning couldn't help but also laughed.

Princess Jin often invites Yingpan to the palace as a guest, and occasionally she also visits Ren Ning's General Xuanwu's mansion.

When he was in the imperial capital, he had met the famous Jin Wangfei several times.

On the surface, she appeared to be a gentle and generous woman.Who would have thought that she would hunt down her husband, a prince of the empire, with a knife.It's incredible.

No wonder everyone in Xingji City knew about this matter.

"As for the third prince, Chen Xiuzhu," Lei Er curled his lips, "This His Royal Highness King Qi is a good-looking talent."

"He's not like the first prince who stands tall and straight, but always makes people feel like he's shrinking his head; he's not like the second prince who looks like a ball from a distance..."

"It's just that somehow, I just don't like him."

Ren Ning nodded in understanding.

When they sent Ling back to their hometown, they returned to Longyuan City in Xingluo County.

As the prince, Chen Xiuzhu didn't think of ways to eliminate the epidemic that was raging in Yunzhong County next door, but he kept trying to get close to them, and even wanted to take away the telescope in his hand.

With Lei Er's personality, he really wouldn't like such a person.

"Except for the seventh prince Chen Xiujian and the eighth prince who died, what are the names of the other princes?" Lei Er scratched his head, momentarily confused.

"The naming of the princes is regular," Ren Ning reminded with a smile: "They are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and Aoyou Jianyi."

"Forget it. Whatever they are called." Lei Er waved his hand indifferently, "It is said that the nine sons of the dragon are different. They have been unknown for so many years, and they must not be very famous in the future."

"Ignore it."

"Perhaps." Ren Ning agreed with a smile.

"Although I don't like Chen Xiuzhu the least," Lei Er sighed, "but he is the best among the short ones, and he is the best among all the princes."

"It would be the best if Chen Xiuzhu could sit on the dragon chair. At least the future of the empire can be expected."

"That's right! Old Ren," Lei Er asked, "Where did Chen Xiuzhu practice?"

Ren Ning looked up to the northeast, "Beijiang, Yumu County, Beihaiguan!"

North Customs.

The soldiers guarding the city clasped their hands and stomped their feet heavily.

After autumn, the weather gradually starts to get colder.

It’s okay to have the sun during the day, but it’s freezing cold at night.

"I don't know when this year's padded clothes will be distributed?" A soldier shivered from the cold.

"It should be soon." Another soldier saw that there was no general around, and lowered his voice: "Isn't His Royal Highness practicing in our North Customs? He hasn't left yet to return to the imperial capital."

The Ministry of War would not dare to miss this gentleman's padded clothes.

"Really?" Someone next to him couldn't believe it: "Isn't the prince's training already over? Why hasn't His Highness left yet?"

Gee!

The well-informed soldier shook his head triumphantly, "You don't know that."

"His Royal Highness King Qi is not only not planning to return to the imperial capital, but he is also planning to go to the Baekje Peninsula to fight Japanese pirates."

The other soldiers couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Isn't everyone saying that this prince's experience is actually His Majesty's selection of the prince?"

At this critical juncture of establishing a crown prince, if the princes and princes are not in front of the emperor but in a remote border, they will not enjoy the advantage of being close to the water.

Furthermore, Emperor Changxing has many sons, and he has been unable to see anyone, maybe he has forgotten about this son.

"The position of the crown prince is indeed very important. But His Royal Highness Qi Wang said that he has more important things to do first. Therefore, he will not return to Xingji City for the time being."

"What's the matter?" The others stretched their necks curiously and pricked up their ears.

"Your Highness said that Japanese pirates are the most greedy."

"If they gain a foothold in the Baekje Peninsula, sooner or later they will move westward and harm our northeastern and northern counties such as Yumu, Yanhui, and Jinghu."

"So he has to go to Baekje first to drive the Japanese pirates into the sea."

hum.

Most of the soldiers are locals, and they are very moved when they hear it.

"This is the prince we want."

"Yes. Such a prince is the best. He doesn't bother to fight for the position of the crown prince. He only cares about the fate of us people in remote counties..."

Inside the pass, the residence of King Qi.

Chen Xiuzhu was looking at the letter from his grandfather.

"Your Highness," seeing him put down the letter, the staff couldn't help but ask, "What did Luo Shangshu say in the letter?"

"Grandfather asked us to go to Baekje with all our heart and soul, and strive to drive the Japanese pirates into the sea as soon as possible. As for the matter of resisting the edict and not returning, he will solve it for the king."

The staff let out a long sigh of relief.

There is a grandfather who is a minister of the Ministry of Industry, which is worry-free.

As long as it wasn't a blatant rebellion, Luo Ken would probably be able to solve it for his grandson if he opened his mouth.
