The experience of riding a horse for a long distance was initially new to the third prince, but after a long time, even if the two strands were specially padded, he still felt that some parts were grinding hot and painful. Moreover, compared to those who are skilled in riding, he must also concentrate on controlling his mount, otherwise even if Ah Liu can solve the siege in time next to him, he will be dismantled early.

Therefore, the young Royal Highness the Crown Prince gritted his teeth and endured hardship, even if there was no rest in between, he was stunned and silent. Even so, Ah Liu on the side was still on guard and ready to help at any time, but until he finally came to the small Baijia Village, he never found a chance, and the third prince endured it all the way.

That is, when he jumped off the horse, he found that the third prince who had stopped from the horse was a little difficult, so he immediately stepped forward to help without saying a word. When he stretched out his hand and gently helped the person to the ground, he couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw the person gritting his teeth and limping after taking two steps.

"Don't be pushy, take a carriage on the way back."

The third prince wanted to refuse, but then his eyes widened, and he instinctively asked in a low voice, "Where did the carriage come from?" ”

Seeing several family members of the Zhao State Mansion looking over to this side either unexpectedly or curiously, Ah Liu did not answer, but reached out and gently patted the third prince's shoulder as if soothing. Seeing his intimate behavior, others took it for granted that Ah Liu and the little attendant from this palace knew or had a friendship, and quickly withdrew his observational gaze.

And finding that others no longer paid attention to him, the third prince naturally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to ask again. When Ah Liu skillfully assigned everyone to defend everywhere outside the village, and took himself into the village, when he was completely out of the sight of those people, he couldn't help but ask: "Sixth brother, aren't you worried that I will leave the palace without permission and affect the teacher?" ”

Ah Liu's feet stopped slightly, and then he said without looking back: "After the eldest lady told me, I urgently went to the public school and brought a letter to the young master. "Although only three words were written, the young master should ...... You see, right?

Hearing that Ah Liu informed Zhang Shou, the third prince was not angry, but breathed a sigh of relief, but said to himself: "Although I was afraid that my father would blame the teacher, and I was afraid that the teacher would stop me, so I didn't talk to him beforehand, but if he really didn't know anything, maybe he would still be severely reprimanded by his father when he turned around...... Sixth brother, thank you for sending me over today. ”

"You should thank Miss Xie." Ah Liu replied seriously, and when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind him was suddenly dumbfounded, he added lightly, "If the eldest lady hadn't told me until today, and repeatedly asked sincerely, I wouldn't have agreed." ”

The third prince thought about Ah Liu's position and knew that these words were from the bottom of his heart, not to cater to himself. But the more he did this, the more peaceful his mood became, and the depression that he had lived in the deep palace since he was crowned prince was all replaced by an indescribable comfort. Therefore, when he saw a familiar figure from afar, he couldn't help but shout: "Fourth brother! ”

Cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, plus a thick felt hat, hands are still in the sleeves, and the clothes, shoes and socks are all a little ill-fitting fat, this is the image of the four princes at this moment. When he heard this call at first, he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that he was having auditory hallucinations.

Otherwise, how could his third brother be here? That's not the king of Jiangdu who has nothing to do, the third brother, as the crown prince, is very busy, and he has so many classes to attend every day!

The fourth prince smiled at himself in his heart, feeling that he had been outside for so many days, and he was bitter and tired, so he regarded anyone's voice as his third brother. However, he took two steps forward regardless of it, and suddenly heard the voice of the fourth brother again. This time, he couldn't help but look around a little dazedly, and soon caught a figure running quickly.

However, until the person hugged him, he still felt that his head was a little too stiff to turn. He wanted to ask you if you had recognized the wrong person, but when the words came to his mouth, it seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't spit out a word. It wasn't until the hands that held him gradually let go, and he finally saw the overjoyed face in front of him clearly, that he finally reacted.

But his reaction was to take a step back in a panic, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, stared at the other party several times, and finally stammered and asked, "Three...... Third brother? You...... How do you ...... How did it come? ”

Facing the four princes whose tongues were almost knotted, the three princes couldn't help but be a little confused. He took two steps forward again, but replied, "Are you upset that I have come here?" ”

"No, no, no!" The fourth prince shook his head into a rattle, and then looked around as if asking for help. However, Zhang Shou, who he thought would appear here, would follow his father and emperor, but he was nowhere to be seen, and even the most common villagers in the village in this winter and those children were not visible at this time.

He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then stepped forward and grabbed the third prince, and then ran away. However, when he ran to the back of a room with someone and saw that there was really no one in sight, he immediately asked nervously, "Third brother, how did you come here?" Why are you the only one? What about teachers? What about the father? What about the people who followed? How many people did you bring out......"

Seeing that the four princes continued to have problems, the third prince couldn't cry or laugh, and finally had to interrupt his younger brother and say word by word: "The father didn't come, and the teacher didn't come either." ”

The fourth prince almost didn't stare out of his eyes, it was not a relief, but a panic, but fortunately, the third prince's next words made him take a reassuring pill: "But I brought a lot of guards, and the sixth brother also sent me." ”

But this sense of stability only lasted for a moment, and the next moment when the third prince said the follow-up, he almost jumped up in shock.

"But I sneaked out during class, Senior Brother Lu stayed in Ciqing Palace to cover me, my father didn't know at all, and the teacher probably didn't understand the reason, because he just got a letter from the sixth brother. Grandmother and Sister Yingying helped me slip out. ”

The third prince didn't seem to see his fourth brother's big mouth as if he could swallow an egg, and his expression was calm and a little bitter: "My father and grandmother had a big quarrel, and I didn't live in Zhaoren Hall these days, but in my grandmother's Qingning Palace." ”

Even the details of the dispute that night did not confide in Zhang Shou, but the third prince told his fourth brother eloquently. Sure enough, the fourth prince was simply stupid, especially when he learned that the emperor even threatened to seal the palace, the bear child, who boasted that he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and finally swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Father...... Father, this seems to be too much, right...... But what the imperial grandmother said was not right in the first place! ”

Although the fourth prince had an awkward quarrel with the emperor, he has never been very close to the queen mother, and subconsciously still helps his father. However, he didn't expect that the third brother, who was not as talkative as himself in the past, would vividly relay the things about his father and emperor that the queen mother said, and now, he forgot to defend his father.

After all, although he and the third brother both grew up beside their father, they have seen a lot of ministers who can't see it, and even the queen and the second prince can't see it, and the father and emperor will tell them some things about the past in their spare time, but those are all the bridges of some wise ministers, and they will definitely not involve the matter of jumping up and down as a child.

And hearing that the two brothers were exchanging the emperor's childhood affairs, Ah Liu, who was watching the wind on the roof, couldn't help but touch his chin in annoyance.

He didn't want to listen to the emperor's unknown childhood troubles at all, but couldn't the third prince be cautious? Knowing that he might be watching the wind nearby, he still said it...... Or did the third prince completely forget about his existence? But after the third prince thinks about it, won't he have a pimple in his heart? Will the emperor be killed when he finds out......

But it's not that the emperor actually knows a lot of old things from his childhood. He heard Hua Qi spit and say that there was a star and a half, but because it had nothing to do with him at all, he just left it behind after hearing it.

Thinking of this, the annoyed Ah Liu shook his head, but in the end he did not leave because of avoiding suspicion, but waited patiently until the two brothers finished saying what they said about the emperor.

Fortunately, the third prince also knew that he was not only here to communicate with his fourth brother about his father's childhood troubles, so he picked a few things to talk about, and then paused.

"Fourth brother, I came today, firstly, because I haven't seen you for too long, and I am worried about missing you, and secondly, I am here for another thing. Luo Sanhe, who I sent here before, you sent him to another village, right? ”

Seeing that the fourth prince suddenly showed an extremely weak expression and avoided his gaze unnaturally, the third prince said calmly: "I know, he is a little self-righteous and a little unrealistically naïve, so he is not likable...... Of course, I don't like him either. However, just like I don't like Chu Kuan, but I have to keep him, sometimes I can't do everything according to my preferences. ”

"Fourth brother, there must be someone around us who dares to speak badly...... It's the same as my father who kept those imperial histories. ”

The third prince said to the fourth prince that he felt very right, but in fact, there was a lot of twisted reason, and after seeing that the fourth prince was stunned for a moment, he nodded hesitantly, and he sighed and said: "Of course, you can also think that I am spying on you." ”

The fourth prince was taken aback, and was about to explain that he didn't mean that, but he didn't want his third brother to suddenly change his words and say: "One more thing to tell you, there is one more Fanbang boy who is listening to the teacher." Here's the thing......"

Although he was a little confused, when he heard the third prince say what happened, the fourth prince, who had always been out of character, was very happy. He even gloated and pounded the wall on the side and laughed: "He actually got on the boat so recklessly, if he was really thrown into the sea, he wouldn't even have a place to reason!" He was lucky to make it ashore alive...... It's also the teacher and the third brother, you have a good heart! ”

Seeing that the four princes sighed with relish, and finally as if to please themselves, they added a sentence stiffly, and the three princes couldn't help but laugh. But then, he looked at his fourth brother and said in a very serious tone: "So, fourth brother, would you like to learn those words?" ”

The fourth prince was a little stupid all of a sudden. He stared blankly at the third prince for a long time before he said with a bitter face: "Third brother, those strange words are said to be difficult to learn...... And, what did you learn to do? ”

"The teacher once showed at the sutra banquet that the kind of boat that can move automatically on the water without wind or oars, so if such a boat can be built in the future, the place that was once far away will not be far away. And if the steel ship could be launched, it would be much safer at sea, right? ”

The third prince, who had never seen the sea and didn't know the furious side of the sea, said something completely taken for granted, as if he didn't see the eyes of the fourth prince that gradually changed from surprise to a little longing, so he said: "In the past, I always felt that Emperor Taizu went to sea by boat after his abdication, so that there was no news later, which was really too reckless and unwise. ”

However, when I heard the teacher talk about the country thousands of miles away, the different customs and customs of China, and all kinds of romantic characters, I gradually felt that it was no wonder that Emperor Taizu would go to sea by boat. With such ambition, he must feel that the current Daming is still too young. ”

The world is so big, for the brothers who used to only be able to watch the sky from the map, and now they can only sit on the ball and watch the sky, there has never been a very real concept, however, the third prince now understands more and more the weight of his own prince, so he listens to history and geography lessons very seriously, and sometimes takes the initiative to ask Zhang Shou to talk about it.

Because he has been deeply aware that compared with other lecturers, Zhang Shou's light-hearted stories are easier to remember, and Zhang Shou's views from time to time are also very unique.

This is also the origin of the sentence that he will say that Da Ming is too small. And at this moment, he looked at his younger brother who was about the same age as himself and had a different kind of brilliance on his face, but he suddenly smiled and said: "However, the boat is still too dangerous, and the teacher once told me that in the early Qin period, wooden rails were laid on the post road, and then horse-drawn carriages were used, so fast." ”

"If in the future ships can be mechanically driven, then what about horse-drawn carriages?"

"According to legend, Zhuge Wuhou once built wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport supplies, so why can't we now? If the track is paved all the way to the far west, and then it will be driven by a machine like a wooden ox and a flowing horse, then according to the map on the ball, won't it be able to reach those countries in the west? The land route is not as risky as the sea route. ”

The third prince said a very distant topic, and then smiled at the fourth prince and said, "What, do you think I want you to lead the team to the west by boat?" Of course not, how could I let my brother take this risk when everything was not safe! However, when once, twice, three times...... Many times, after proving absolutely safe, you can go! ”

"At that time, you can go and see the vast world in my place!"
