"Report to General Zuo! The princess has entered the military camp!"

"General, the princess has a distinguished status and should not be too negligent. We have already entered the military camp, so we should go and greet her!" The person who cautiously spoke was the messenger who went to Nanyang Prince's Mansion to deliver a message that day. This person's surname is Shan, which has the character Wu.

General Zuo, who was sitting on the high chair of Da Ma Jin Dao, glanced at his confidant: "A yellow-haired girl is just not convinced, so what can I do? I, the general, will be waiting here today!"

Shan Wu had no choice but to shut up, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.

That day, he went to Nanyang Prince's Mansion and personally experienced the power of the princess. He was quite wary and gave advice more than once after returning. However, his master was too stubborn to listen.

In just a few words, the sound of noisy footsteps reached his ears.

The princess and her party have already arrived.

Yu Chong was the first to enter the Chinese army's tent. He stepped forward quickly and handed over his hands to report: "To General Zuo, the princess is here. General, please greet me!"

General Zuo's buttocks were firmly glued to the chair, showing no intention of moving. His tone was lazy and dismissive: "Please come in, Princess."

Yu Chong's brows jumped, and anger flashed in his heart.

This Nanyang Army was originally organized by the King of Nanyang. In the past few years, after Zuo Zhen came, he promoted a group of people, suppressed a group of people, divided a group of people, and used various methods. In short, he is somewhat capable.

What's more important is that Zuo Zhen is backed by the Zuo family and has big backers in the court. As a guerrilla general, he really can't afford to offend him. I had to bow my head and endure it.

But Zuo Zhen's actions today were really too much, and he didn't take the princess seriously at all!

Yu Chong was so excited that he couldn't hold it back and said, "General Zuo is so contemptuous of the princess. Aren't you afraid that the princess will be angry and punished?"

Zuo Zhen sneered and changed to a more leisurely sitting position: "Yu Chong, you usually put your tail between your legs and don't dare to show off in front of me. Today you are more courageous. Could it be that the princess is supporting you? Are you confident?"

A group of soldiers behind Zuo Zhen burst into laughter.

The middle and low-level generals lined up on both sides, most of whom were promoted and appointed by Zuo Zhen in recent years, also started laughing.

Yu Chong's face was red with anger.

Amidst the roar of laughter, Nanyang Princess Jiang Shaohua stepped in.

Chen Zhuo and Song Yuan followed closely behind, one on the left and the other on the right. Behind them are Master Wen and Meng Dashan. Dozens of personal guards gathered around him.

As soon as Jiang Shaohua showed up, Zuo Zhen couldn't sit still no matter how big he was.

He stood up unhurriedly, dusted off the non-existent dust on his clothes, and then pretended to cup his hands: "The Princess is here in person, I will not be able to greet you in time, please forgive me, Princess."

Song Yuan snorted coldly and touched the handle of the knife with his right hand.

Chen Zhuo's face darkened: "Zuo Zhen! You are so courageous! The princess came in person, but she didn't greet you. I am going to file a memorial, and I will punish you for being disrespectful!"

Zuo Zhen was really arrogant and laughed out loud: "Chen Changshi just writes the memorial. Let's see how the prime minister will punish him!"

The prime minister Zuo Zhen spoke of was none other than Prime Minister Wang Rongwang, the leader of the hundreds of officials in Daliang who had disciples all over the court. He was also the father-in-law of Jiang Shaohua in his previous life.

The Zuo family can become the top general in Daliang, all because of Prime Minister Wang's unremitting "support". It can be said that Zuo is the most loyal lackey of the Wang family.

Zuo Zhen was able to come to Nanyang Army that day because of the instruction of Prime Minister Wang. Prime Minister Wang had been the prime minister in the court for more than 20 years. The late emperor was a great leader. When the late emperor passed away and Emperor Taikang succeeded to the throne, he would be unable to suppress the powerful Prime Minister Wang.

Some people rumored privately that all memorials in the imperial court first passed through the hands of Prime Minister Wang and then reached the hands of Emperor Taikang.

With such an indestructible backer in the court, Zuo Zhen didn't even pay much attention to King Nanyang. Not to mention, King Nanyang died a year ago, and the current Princess Nanyang is just a ten-year-old girl.

Zuo Zhen said something arrogant, his eyes almost rolled to the sky, and he has not looked at the princess in the eyes until now.

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death. In his rage, Chen Zhuo rarely took the initiative to speak to Song Yuan: "Commander Song, go ask General Zuo for advice."

Teach him a lesson!

Song Yuan could no longer hold back any longer, and with a clang, he pulled out his long sword. Dozens of personal guards behind him drew their swords together.

The soldiers behind Zuo Zhen sneered and drew their swords. The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Yu Chong and others were shocked by this turn of events. He and the other generals in the military tent looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Whether they are facing the princess or siding with Zuo Zhen, in the final analysis, they are all ordinary generals. It's okay to stand on the same team, but it's too much to get into a sword-fighting situation.

"You all stand aside for now." The princess, who had been silent until now, finally opened her mouth, and the slightly immature girl's voice clearly reached the ears of the generals.

Yu Chong was the first to accept the order. The other generals did not want to dare or wade into the muddy water. They each shrank their heads and silently retreated to the corner. Leave an open space in the middle.

Zuo Zhen finally lowered his head slightly and looked at him seriously: "Is the princess also coming to blame the general?"

"The Nanyang Army has the responsibility to protect Nanyang and send troops to suppress bandits. Why did the Princess bypass the Nanyang Army and instead order the Guards Battalion to send troops? This is not in line with the rules of the army, let alone the rules of the court."

"The last general has written a memorial and sent it to the capital. The prime minister can decide for himself what is right and what is wrong. Chen Changshi has such a leisurely mind, so he should first think about how to deal with the imperial court's accusations!"

Sure enough, someone who can control the Nanyang Army in just a few years cannot be a useless idiot. Zuo Zhen's words are reasonable and well-founded.

However, the next words are harsh and unpleasant:

"I would like to give you a few words of advice to the princess. Fighting and killing are not suitable for women. It would be great for the princess to stay in the palace with peace of mind and enjoy the wealth and honor..."

Jiang Shaohua suddenly smiled and interrupted Zuo Zhen's eloquence: "I have long heard that the Zuo family is the loyal lackeys of Prime Minister Wang. When I saw it today, it turned out to be the case. General Zuo keeps saying that he will never leave Prime Minister Wang. This is because he is afraid that the princess will not know about Zuo. Who is the master of the house?"

Zuo Zhen: "..."

The word "running dog" was like a sharp thorn, which made Zuo Zhen's expression suddenly change, and he touched the handle of the knife with his right hand.

Everyone in the Zuo family is proud to have taken refuge with Prime Minister Wang, but no one dares to curse a loyal lackey in front of the Zuo family.

"What? General Zuo wants to draw his sword?"

Jiang Shaohua's smile remained unchanged, but his voice suddenly turned cold: "A mere garrison guard dares to be disrespectful and draw a sword on this princess. Who gave you the courage? Is it Prime Minister Wang?"

"General Zuo, don't forget, this is the Jiang family, not Prime Minister Wang's empire. The emperor sitting on the dragon throne is the direct cousin of this princess. This princess is the princess conferred by the late emperor, and is the head of Nanyang County. the master."

"Even if your master, Prime Minister Wang, comes to Nanyang County in person, when he sees the princess, he will greet me and call me princess."

"You, Zuo Zhen, are nothing!"
