Mao County is not in Yunshan Prefecture, but on the ground of Hanzhou in the east of Yunshan Prefecture. It is a small county below Hanzhou. The geographical conditions are very general. Among the more than 20 counties under the jurisdiction of Hanzhou, Maoxian is really one of them. An unremarkable one.

Hanzhou got its name because there is a Han River running from north to south in Hanzhou. On both sides of the Han River, there are many steep mountains, cliffs, jagged rocks and majestic towering towers.

During the separatist regime of the feudal lords, most of Xishan Road was on the border of Wuling State, and a small part of it was occupied by Hanyang State at that time, while the eastern part of Hanzhou belonged to the border of Hanyang State during the separatist period. It was at the border between Hanyang State and Wuling State at that time.

Today's Saint Shang Yingyuan used to fight with iron horses and wars from south to north. The time and loss spent by the army to capture Wuling Kingdom was relatively the least. The people already hated the lord of the country at that time, and it was reasonable to be quickly conquered by the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.

However, although Hanyang Kingdom, which is adjacent to Wuling Kingdom, is not strong in national strength, the ruler at that time was very ambitious, and many of his ministers had virtuous ministers and generals. When the Great Qin Iron Cavalry attacked, the first line of defense of the Hanyang Kingdom's army was deployed in Mao County. There was a desperate resistance in the area, and the Daqin Iron Cavalry had to pay a big price every step forward. At that time, the people in Mao County fled before the war. Flow into a river.

The Han River also meanders through Mao County. It is said that the blood of soldiers from both sides flowed from the ground of Mao County to the Han River. People in the lower reaches of the Han River could only see red water for several months.

After the founding of the country, Mao County was classified as Hanzhou and belonged to Xishan Road, but it was rumored that there were many ghosts haunting Mao County, so Mao County is still populationless today.

The distance between Yunshan Mansion and Mao County is not really Taiyuan. Originally, Yunshan Mansion was located on the east side of Xishan Road. If the horse is fast, it will only take one day and one night from Yunshan Mansion to Mao County.

Qi Wang Yingren left Yunshan Mansion this time, taking advantage of Xu Congyang's lectures at major academies. Even himself, everyone was in disguise.

In fact, when spring comes, everything recovers. Every year, some dignitaries and wealthy sons go out for spring hunting, and this time Yingren went out to Mao County, pretending to be a rich son and leading his entourage to go out for spring hunting.

He also wanted to dress up in other ways to make it fresher, but he came from the palace, the royal emperor, and he had an unconcealable aristocratic temperament, and wearing other ways would only reveal his flaws.

This time when Yingren came out, Feng Wuma and Li Maotu, the two major guards in the guards, naturally accompanied him closely. In addition, there were four other school captains in the guards.

This time out of Beijing, a total of ten Shenyi Guards followed, besides the two hundred households, there were eight school lieutenants, these ten people were the best of the Shenyi Guards, one counted as ten, six followed, and the remaining four Yingren arranged for them to protect Xu Congyang.

In addition to the six Shenyi Guards, there are ten other elites of the Twelve Guards, all of whom are brave and skilled in combat. Chu Huan was ordered by Ying Ren to mobilize another five Imperial Guards to follow. Wang Han and Fatty Liu naturally followed.

There were a total of 25 people in the group, including Yingren. Yingren didn't even bring out Sun Desheng, and it was common for ordinary dignitaries to lead dozens of entourages in spring hunting.

Chu Huan did not tell the truth about Yingren's identity to Wang Han and other soldiers of the Imperial Guard, but these people were not fools after all, and they could guess Yingren's identity in their hearts.

When Chu Huan dispatched troops, Sun Desheng secretly communicated with Governor Qiao Mingtang in advance, only saying that the King of Qi wanted to employ people, and Qiao Mingtang naturally did not dare to stop him, but Sun Desheng naturally didn't mention anything about Yingren's use of transferring people, and Qiao Mingtang did not. I dare not ask more questions.

A group of people rode fast horses from Yunshan Mansion to Mao County. Except for Chu Huan and a few others, most of them didn't know that the destination was Mao County, but Wang Han, who was familiar with the traffic on Xishan Road, did. , this trip is led by him to Mao County.

Although Chu Huan is deeply liked by Yingren, but compared to his status, he still can't be compared with the two hundred households of Shenyiwei, and this time, Feng Wuma has become the head of the guards to protect Yingren.

Feng Wuma came from Shenyiwei. Although he acted decisively, he was more cautious. He, Li Maotu, and Chu Huan, whom Yingren personally named, were the personal guards beside Yingren. Wang Han and several other imperial guards Leading the way in the front, the remaining four Shenyi guards were separated from the left and right, while the ten soldiers of the Twelve Guards followed behind, completely guarding Yingren in the middle.

He also clearly planned the responsibilities of each person. There are outposts and rears, and they are scattered around Yingren. Quick, the entire formation also remains the same.

Seeing Feng Wuma's orderly handling of affairs, Chu Huan felt quite admirable in his heart, but the hundred households of the Shenyiwei were so capable, but he didn't know how amazing the four thousand households of the Shenyiwei were.

Along the way, apart from resting twice and using dry food, we didn't stop. Before dusk, we had already entered the border of Hanzhou, but Mao County is located in the eastern part of Hanzhou, but there is still some distance.

When it was dark, they arrived at a small town, Feng Wuma considered it unsafe to travel at night, and persuaded Yingren not to drive in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, Yingren stayed in the town and found an inn to rest.

Originally there were still guests in the inn, but for the sake of Yingren's safety, Feng Wuma took over the entire inn and transferred the other guests to another inn for money.

Everyone in the inn thought it was a rich man's ostentation, and they took the money out, so they didn't care.

Feng Wuma ordered people to guard the front and back of the inn, and the food and beverages were carefully checked, very careful.

Feng Wuma knew very well that although Yingren came out in disguise this time, no one would have guessed what would happen later. He was ordered by Bailou to go out to Beijing to protect Yingren, and he had a heavy responsibility, not to mention Yingren's appearance In a big accident, even if he was slightly injured, he, the guard of the gods, would also bear great responsibility.

He has a heavy responsibility, so he is naturally careful everywhere, not daring to neglect in the slightest.

Yingren didn't worry too much about his own safety. In his eyes, the scenery along the way was just right, and the people were docile, so there was nothing to worry about.

After walking for a day, Chu Huan didn't feel tired at all. Compared with the difficult environment he had experienced in the past, today's continuous journey is a piece of cake for him.

His room was arranged next to Yingren, and he could protect Yingren at any time. When everything was settled, he was about to spend some time practicing the "Dragon Elephant Sutra", but he heard someone outside the door shouting: "Chu Huan, Mr. Xu please past!"

When Yingren came out this time, he still asked everyone to call him "Mr. Xu" to deceive others.

When Chu Huan came to Yingren's room, Yingren was sitting at the table drinking. He didn't seem to be in a high mood, and his expression was a little sad. Seeing Chu Huan coming in, Yingren asked Chu Huan to sit down and said directly: "Accompany me for a few glasses of wine first!"

Chu Huan said: "Yes." Picking up the jug, he filled Yingren's cup with wine, and then poured it for himself. Yingren picked up the wine glass, raised it, and drank it down.

Seeing that Ying Ren seemed to be in a heavy mood, Chu Huan also drank the wine in his glass for some unknown reason.

Yingren put down his wine glass, sighed, and said, "Do you know what the biggest gain is this king's trip to Beijing?"

Chu Huan pondered for a moment before saying, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

The two of them spoke in low voices, and there were people on guard all around, so naturally they didn't worry that someone would overhear and know Ying Ren's true identity.

"My king's biggest achievement is getting to know you as a friend." Yingren leaned on the chair and sighed softly: "This king has now passed through seventeen years. As a prince, he is loved and loved by his father and mother. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wind is loved by thousands of people."

Chu Huan said: "Your Highness, the son and grandson of the dragon, this is fate, and God will naturally bless His Highness."

Yingren shook his head, pondered for a while, and said: "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and sometimes I really feel that I live very comfortably, but shallowly, in the past two years, I suddenly found that I seem to be missing something... …”

Chu Huan just listened quietly, knowing that what Yingren lacked must be unusual.

Ying Ren shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I feel like I'm missing something, I haven't been able to explain it clearly. I didn't know until I met you in Yunshan Mansion this time. What I've been missing all this time are friends, A friend who can speak his mind."

Chu Huan was stunned, and said, "Your Highness, your son and grandson, there are many, many people who want to be friends with His Highness...!"

Yingren had already waved his hand and interrupted: "Chu Huan, you don't understand. The people I see are either like my father and teacher, preaching to me from time to time, or they are like Sun Desheng, bowing their knees and saying Saying the same thing, if I say east, they dare not say west, if I say south, they dare not say north... Chu Huan, you think that this king can have everything, but you don’t know, this king In fact, it is very lonely. Since I was a child, I have no real intimate playmates, no women I really like, and I want to go out of the palace to see the outside world, but my father, queen and queen always don’t allow me... The things that the prince and third brothers can do, Ben The king can't do it, although he is favored by his father and queen, but this king knows very well in his heart that in the hearts of those ministers, this king is actually the most useless son of his father."

Chu Huan said solemnly: "Your Highness must not belittle yourself."

Yingren smiled lightly: "I'm not underestimating myself." He leaned on the chair, stared at the candle on the table, and said softly: "This king likes Miss Lingshuang, but he can't be with her in an open and honest way, and he can't even protect her in an open and honest way." She, Chu Huan, if it were you, how would you feel?" After a pause, he continued: "I saw Miss Lingshuang being bullied in the rain that day, but I couldn't make a move. At that time, I thought about it. , if it were the prince or third brother, he would never be like this king... At that time, this king was very angry and helpless. At that time, he even wanted to kill Luo Ding. At that time, this king suddenly I suddenly understand one thing, the king can call the wind and rain in the palace, it is only because of the protection of the father and mother, without their protection, the king has no one to trust, not even a person who can help the king to do things ...After losing his father and queen mother, this majestic prince, the Prince of Daqin, has nothing to do with a little dandy...!" At this point, his expression became even more ugly, and he grabbed the jug and filled it up. , Drank the cup in one gulp.

Chu Huan didn't say a word, but he also knew that Yingren's words might have been held in his heart for too long, so he came to him, just to speak out what was held in his heart.

Being able to let Yingren speak his mind to him also shows that Yingren really values ​​him very much——
