Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 336 Return 2
One person is 20, ten people is 20!Although the Xu family is powerful and powerful, they are not very wealthy. Even if someone would take the initiative to send money, [-] taels is definitely a huge amount for the Xu family.

Xiangdong: "This time, it seems that the Xu family is determined to put Zhenxing to death, and they probably want to give it a go! Kill Zhenxing, and destroy King Pingxi by the way, and remove the biggest stumbling block! Next , there should be several more major assassinations, we seem to have to figure out a way, we can't fight any more!"

Zhong Zijian: "How about this, let's stay in the county ahead for a while, take over all the taste buildings, and then send someone back to the capital to deliver a letter, asking for support!"

Shui Qingqian: "Isn't that good? With so many soldiers, how can a tasteful building in a county seat accommodate so many people? Why don't you find a hidden valley and let everyone set up tents and camp! Anyway, it's early autumn , the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it doesn't matter if you sleep in the open!"

Xiang Dong: "That's a good idea. I also agree with camping in the valley. It's safer than staying in an inn! I know there is a valley twenty miles ahead. I found it by accident when I was traveling with Zhenxing. It's also there. I lived there for a while. That place is very secret, with beautiful scenery, and a spring, a mountain stream, drinking water and bathing are no problem!"

Zhong Zijian thought for a while, and agreed: "Alright, then let General Rao lead the way!"

The twenty-mile mountain road, everyone arrived quickly at the speed of marching!It really is a good place to hide!After confirming the place to stay temporarily, Zhong Zijian immediately dispatched five pairs of messenger teams to the capital from different directions.

As expected, his worries were not superfluous. Of the five letter-delivery teams, only two teams arrived in the capital safely, and delivered the letters to Xiangxi and the prince respectively.

Before the five thousand soldiers left the barracks, they brought tents. Along the way, the soldiers set up tents in the wild by themselves for the night.Those who went to stay at the inn were Shui Qingqian, Zhong Zijian, Zhenxing, Xiangdong, and their respective guards, as well as the guards sent by the prince and the emperor.

This time, everyone camped in the wild, and the soldiers gave up two big tents for Zhenxing, Qingshui, Xiangdong and Zhong Zijian to stay.The problem of living is solved, and there is no need to worry about food. There are a lot of wild vegetables, pheasants and hares in the wild.Those present were either martial arts masters or elite soldiers who were brave and good at fighting. It was no problem at all to catch a few pheasants and hares.

If it wasn't for the worry that a killer would touch it, this should be a very interesting picnic, such a beautiful mountain and river, blooming like brocade, and the spring water is tinkling.If Da Ya was here, he would be very happy to see this scene.She likes nature so much, but it's a pity that such a beautiful scenery is also destroyed by those greedy bad guys!
Shui Qingqian sighed deeply, and dispatched ten groups of mobile posts, and five secret sentries, to keep an eye on the enemy's movement at any time.The other party is not a vegetarian, otherwise, they would not have to hide in this valley, waiting for the reinforcements to arrive from thousands of miles away!

This back and forth, if you hurry up, it will take at least 20 days!If it is normal, 20 days is nothing at all, it will pass in the blink of an eye.However, in this particular event, 20 days felt like a longer time than a year.It is not an exaggeration to say that life feels like years.

During the waiting days, Xiang Dong, Shui Qingqian and Zhong Zijian accompanied Zhen Xing to hunt every day.A few people wanted to practice Zhenxing's archery ability, the ability to use darts and hidden weapons, and the improvement of lightness skills.Zhong Zijian is an expert at using darts and hidden weapons, Xiangdong is an expert at archery, and his lightness skills in clear water are superb.

Xiang Dong said to Zhen Xing solemnly: "Yi Duo is not overwhelmed, take advantage of this good opportunity, you give me the unique skills of the two of them to study hard. No matter at any time, opportunities and luck are always given to those who are well-prepared." Yes! Maybe one day, you will have to rely on darts, hidden weapons or archery to save your life, or to protect the person you want to protect!"

Zhenxing: "I see, Uncle. I will definitely study hard and not be afraid of hardship or tiredness! Thank you Uncle for your teaching!"

In fact, since he was five years old, his mother taught him how to use archery and darts.However, compared with the three of Zhong Zijian, there was still a huge gap between him and Zhong Zijian.Especially Shui Qingqian's Qinggong is unrivaled in the world, Zhenxing thinks that compared with him, he is simply nothing.

Every day at dawn, Zhenxing will go out to hunt, and exercise his abilities during the hunt.Go back to have lunch at noon, then take a nap for half an hour, and go hunting again.It can be said that most of the meat that everyone ate was shot down by him.

The task of digging wild vegetables was handed over to Xiang Dong's soldiers.From more than 4000 people (more than 100 people were lost), a hundred people with high martial arts skills were selected, and they were scattered around Zhenxing and several people. While digging wild vegetables, they formed a protective circle: against beasts and assassins .

Everyone was so nervous, Zhen Xing really felt that the time in Peach Blossom Valley was the happiest time in his life.It's a pity, in the future, it will never be the same as before. Once you enter the deep palace, it is as deep as the sea, and it is impossible to be a free civilian again!

Zhenxing practiced archery, throwing darts and hidden weapons desperately, and practiced lightness skills like Shui Qingqian desperately.In the endless mountains, the practice environment is quite good. The flying rabbits, pheasants, ferocious tigers and wild boars, and tall trees all provide him with an excellent environment for practice.

His grades are increasing day by day. After 20 days, he has already made very obvious progress.Xiang Dong heaved a long sigh of relief, it seems that this child is really able to endure hardships, and his mind is also flexible.After returning to the capital, I have a little more ability to protect myself!
During this period, Xiangdong selected ten brave, honest and kind-hearted people from more than 4000 soldiers, and enriched them into the revitalized guard team.Zhong Zijian also selected five people from the imperial guards and Jinwu guards to fill the revitalized bodyguards.This was ordered by the emperor and Marshal Meng Jian also agreed, otherwise, the two would not dare to make their own claims.

Zhenxing's bodyguard team has grown stronger, and the sorrow between Xiang Dong's eyebrows has finally faded, and it is no longer so strong that it cannot be resolved.

In the capital, when the prince learned that his son was being surrounded and hunted down, his face was filled with murderous intent: "My surname is Xu, this prince is at odds with your family!" To this day, combined with Xu's side concubine, he gave the Xu family an unusual period of time. He also knows how to move with his toes. He wants to chase and kill people who are in Zhenxing, except for the Xu family!
The prince went to Qianqing Palace overnight and asked for an audience.

Emperor An He felt bad. After all, for so many years, except for the night when Zhen Xing disappeared, the prince had never asked for an audience late at night.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up: "Quickly pass the prince in!"

He is already very old, and he seldom favors his concubines, otherwise, it would be difficult for the prince to directly enter his bedroom.

"What great event happened?" Emperor An He asked quickly as soon as he saw the prince.

The prince knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice: "Father, Zhenxing has been assassinated! Now, a group of people stopped halfway and asked for help!"

Emperor An He turned pale with shock, and hurriedly asked: "Is Zhenxing okay? Is he injured?!"

Prince: "No injuries, but a lot of people were lost! The first time, the opponent dispatched about [-] martial arts masters; the second time, they dispatched thousands of people! Fortunately, King Pingxi had the foresight to dispatch [-] people." Elite soldiers escorted them all the way. Otherwise, King Pingxi and Zhenxing would most likely die for their country!"

Emperor An He: "What? How courageous and arrogant! To use so many people is clearly a desperate attempt to put Zhenxing to death! Tell me, did someone from the Xu family do it?"

Prince: "From the letter sent by Qingqian and the abnormality of the Xu family during this period, we can judge that, except for the Xu family, we don't think about anything else!"

An Hedi cut his hands behind his back, walked slowly a few steps, pondered for a while, and then nodded: "That's right, who else would make trouble with Zhenxing except the Xu family? If something happened to Zhenxing, the only person who would benefit from it would be Concubine Xu and her son? Hmph! How dare you attack my grandson again, I will never forgive you lightly this time, and the Xu family must pay the price in blood!"

Prince: "That's right. No wonder that bastard, side concubine Xu, has been cheerful all day long these days. I dare say that Zhenxing would not be able to save her life!"

This sentence, he said it like a gnashing of teeth.

Emperor Anhe: "How about this, I will send another [-] Imperial Guards, [-] Jinwu Guards, [-] soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion, and [-] soldiers from the Xida Camp to support them!"

The crown prince knelt down and kowtowed again: "My son and minister Dai Zhenxing thank you, father!"

Emperor An He waved his hand: "You should go back quickly, it's best to control Concubine Xu and her son, so that she will be a little scruples and dare not to kill Zhenxing again!"

The prince returned to the East Palace, and immediately dispatched a group of subordinates quietly, and quickly put Concubine Xu and her son under house arrest.

When we returned to the bedroom where the princess lived, it was almost dawn, but the princess still didn't fall asleep, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she couldn't cry.

Seeing her like this, the crown prince couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and sighed: "Don't worry too much, side concubine Xu and her son have already been placed under house arrest. This is the meaning of the emperor. Tomorrow morning, the rescuers will go to rescue Zhenxing , those villains are destined not to succeed!"

The Crown Princess choked up and said, "Really? Your Highness didn't lie to my concubines?"

Prince: "Why am I lying to you? You know, no matter whether it is Shui Qingqian, Zhong Zijian, or Rao Xiangdong, they are definitely not simple people! With the joint protection of the three of them, unless there is a knife in the sky, Nothing will happen to the revitalization! They wrote to ask for help, just in case, and to minimize the loss!"

If you rush and fight hard, it's not that Zhenxing can't arrive safely, it's just that the escorts are destined to lose more than half.This kind of situation, whether it is Qingshui, Zhong Zijian, or Xiangdong, is absolutely unwilling to see it!After all, those elite soldiers and generals are the right-hand men of the three of them.Unless it is a last resort, they will definitely protect it!
Not to mention that they would be reluctant, even he, the prince, would also be reluctant.You know, these three people and their confidantes will be his and Zhenxing's strong backing in the future.Every time one person is lost, it means that he, the prince, will lose a solid force on the road to succession in the future!

After hearing his words, the princess finally felt better, and no longer felt that the world was falling apart.However, my heart was still uneasy after all, so I squinted my eyes a little, and got up again.

The prince went to the morning court, and the princess drank half a bowl of lean meat porridge, and then asked the housekeeper: "The place where Concubine Xu and her son live, send more people and strengthen supervision. Be sure to take care of the two of them, and don't let them go. Anyone who helps this vicious mother and son deliver news! If there is anyone who disobeys, there will be no mercy, and there will be no mercy!"

The butler is a fat middle-aged man in his 40s, and he is also the prince's confidant, loyal and brave.He bowed and replied: "Yes, I obey! Please don't worry, the princess, the mother and son want to stir up trouble, unless they are dreaming!"

The princess nodded in satisfaction.

Very well, most of the people in the East Palace are under the control of the crown prince, and they did not take refuge in that bitch, side concubine Xu!Of course, there are also some people who were indeed bought by Concubine Xu.After the butler left, the princess cheered up and planned to sort out the East Palace to remove as much hidden eyeliner as possible, so as to return her son to a relatively safe living environment.
