When Xiao Moxi was eighteen years old, Prince Ping gave the emperor a gift and passed the throne to him. In this way, he became the youngest prince in the dynasty.
In order to distinguish him from Prince Heping to Prince Weiyuan, everyone called him Little Prince Xiao.
In the same year, because Gu Jian returned to Taohua Village, the emperor left all political affairs to his grandson, and he took the prince Heping to Taohua Village to accompany Gu Jian.
This year, Xiao Moxi was taken away from his labor by his grandson and thrown into the Jinling Guards to help him deal with various difficult matters.
"With outstanding abilities and outstanding martial arts, in just three years, Prince Xiao's reputation has spread throughout the provinces, and officials all talk about Prince Xiao with rave reviews.
"At the same time, it also attracted the secret love of many ladies, many of whom came to propose marriage. Unfortunately, Prince Xiao had a pair of irresponsible parents.
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang spend at least ten of the twelve months out of the year traveling around the mountains and rivers. Others who want to come to propose marriage can't find anyone.
Regarding their son's marriage, the two of them were very open-minded and directly stated that as long as their son liked them, they had no objection. They really just put their hands down and just ignored it.
The young and energetic Prince Xiao, who is eager to pursue a career, is not anxious about his own marriage. He is even more rare to see in person than his parents.
People in the capital have three major questions: When will the emperor pass the throne to his grandson? Can the concubine who gave birth to three golden flowers in a row give birth to a son for her grandson? Finally, when will Prince Xiao get married?
"The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry!"
?¡
Since the emperor's indifference to political affairs, northern Xinjiang, which has been peaceful for more than 20 years, has shown signs of instability. Officials have reported that Tatars have appeared in Liaodong territory again.
After Taisun learned about this, he secretly ordered Xiao Moxi to take people to Liaodong to investigate the matter.
?¡
In August, the temperature in Liaodong is already a bit cold.
In a post station dozens of miles away from Haqi City, the capital of Liaodong Province, in the guest room on the second floor, a graceful young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was binding her breasts with white cloth.
With layers of white cloth tied around her body to make sure that no one would see that she was behind her daughter, Ye Yueying grabbed the men's clothes on the bed and put them on.
After getting dressed, Ye Yueying sat in front of the dressing table. She first combed her hair into a man's bun, then thickened her eyebrows, darkened her skin tone, and finally raised her collar to cover up the fact that she didn't have an Adam's apple.
After doing this, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Yueying paused, picked up the sword on the table and opened the door.
The person knocking on the door was a middle-aged man.
¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of frowning all the time. Middle-aged people have deep wrinkles in the middle of their brows, making them look very serious.
Looking at Ye Yueying dressed as a bodyguard, Leng Feng was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the scenes of the little girl gritting her teeth and practicing martial arts in front of her over the years, she couldn't help but sigh.
It would be great if the bloodline left behind by Brother Ye was a boy. In his heart, girls should not have to bear this.
"Uncle Leng."
Lengfeng came back to his senses: "Let's go, I have already arranged for the servants of your grandfather's family. They are not accustomed to the climate. I will probably have to lie in bed for several days, which is enough for you and me to go to the city to do things."
Ye Yueying nodded, Uncle Leng has always been thoughtful in doing things, thanks to him helping her over the years.
Neither of them spoke, and walked quickly downstairs.
Soon, the two came to the backyard and were ready to lead the horses.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Several strong men jumped down from the broken window on the second floor, holding sharp knives in their hands, and stabbed anyone they encountered.
Within a moment, screams, calls for help, and shouts began one after another.
"Everyone, stay close to cover and don't run around!"
A loud voice sounded, covering all the noise.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yueying saw several people in uniforms jumping from the second floor and running quickly towards the strong men who were killing them wantonly.
"It's Jin Lingwei!"
Recognizing the person, Leng Feng quickly pulled Ye Yueying, who was about to draw her sword, to hide behind the stone mill nearby.
Ye Yueying watched the two sides in the fierce battle closely. After recognizing the strong man's moves, she said coldly: "Uncle Leng, those strong men are barbarians!"
Lengfeng narrowed his eyes: "Humph, the Third Division in Liaodong is becoming less and less effective. The barbarians have all moved into their own inns." As he said that, he looked at the Jinling Guards who were fighting fiercely.
"This team of Jin Ling Guards is much stronger than the ones we encountered before. They are no longer just silver pewter spearheads who only know how to bully the weak."
Ye Yueying's eyes flashed: "Jin Lingwei intervened, the problem in Liaodong"
The snort of the cold wind interrupted Ye Yueying: "Don't have too much hope. The sky is high in Liaodong and the emperor is far away. It has become a climate for officials to collude with each other to protect each other. Unless the court can send someone like King Weiyuan over, even if the investigation If there are some problems, it¡¯s just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.¡±
Ye Yueying was not talking.
It didn¡¯t take long for the battle to end.
All the Hu people were killed. Jin Lingwei wanted to keep them alive, but unfortunately the other party committed suicide by taking poison.
With the danger gone, people hiding everywhere ran out and rushed to their injured relatives.
Many people were injured and hacked to death by the barbarians. Looking at the people holding their loved ones in pain, Xiao Moxi frowned. This encounter with the barbarians was actually an accident. If he had been prepared, he would never let the people get involved. of.
Xiao Moxi took out the banknote from her arms and handed it to the man beside her: "Take it to the station official and let him make compensation according to the casualties."
Ye Yueying and Leng Feng, who were not far away, saw this scene in their eyes and their expressions moved.
The two of them had a bad impression of the Jin Ling Guards in Liaodong. They had great power but no one to supervise and restrain them. They were domineering and bullying the weak. They did this kind of thing often. The lives of ordinary people were not worth these people. Take it seriously.
Just when Xiao Moxi signaled his men to collect the body of the Hu man and prepare to take it away, something unexpected happened again.
I saw the body of the Hu man lying on the left rear of Xiao Moxi suddenly exploded, and a flying knife shot straight at Xiao Moxi.
"Zheng!"
Two rays of cold light flashed at the same time, and with a clang, the flying knife was knocked away by the sharp sword.
The moment the accident happened, Jin Lingwei came up and restrained the Hu man who was still alive.
"Stay alive!"
Xiao Moreng first ordered his men to stay alive, and then looked at Ye Yueying and Lengfeng with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for helping me!"
Ye Yueying looked at the hidden weapon in Xiao Moxi's hand that was about to pop out. She knew that even if she didn't take action, the other party would be fine. She put the sword into the scabbard with a cold face, said nothing, took the horse led by Leng Feng, and walked quickly Head towards the back door.
When he was about to reach the door, Yi Cheng rushed in with the officers and soldiers. Seeing that Ye Yueying and Leng Feng were carrying weapons, he waved to the officers and soldiers to arrest them without saying anything.
"Bold thieves who dare to cause trouble in the post house will risk their lives."
Seeing Yi Cheng coming up and convicting them, Leng Feng and Ye Yueying, who carried secrets on their bodies, naturally wanted to resist. In an instant, both sides were fighting together.
Xiao Moxi looked at this scene and straightened her face: "There is news that Liaodong officials like to catch innocent people to talk back to them. It seems to be true."
As he said that, he strode forward.
"Stop!"
It¡¯s a pity that both sides of the fight ignored it.
Seeing this, Xiao Moxi could only take action to stop this farce.
"Bang bang bang"
With just a few pinches of wrists and kicks, the officers and soldiers surrounding Ye Yueying were knocked to the ground by Xiao Moxi, who also grabbed Ye Yueying with his hand.
His original intention was to ask her to stop, but by chance, when he stretched out his hand, he happened to press it on Ye Yueying's chest.
In an instant, both of them froze at the same time. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
