What should come will always come. In April of the second year of Jianwen, the Ming court finally completed a new round of troop gathering after several months of deployment.

Li Jinglong, who was defeated last year, regained an army of 600,000!

The imperial court transferred troops from all over the country, and even the Yunnan soldiers thousands of miles away also arrived, and they were commanded by Lu Liangwei to make Teng Ju under the command of Li Jinglong. In addition, Guo Ying, Wu Jie and other nobles led their troops in Zhending and Hejian, all of which were under the command of Li Jinglong.

No one can really explain why Li Jinglong is commanding the army again! However, one thing is certain: Just as Lee Kyung-lung won from a few candidates last year, this year the DPRK and China will certainly go through a complicated game, and the process is difficult for outsiders to guess.

When the generals of Yanshi discussed in the palace, and the news confirmed that the commander of the official army was still Li Jinglong, based on Li Jinglong's performance last year, all the generals were excited!

However, when Zhu Gaoxu heard that Qu Neng, Ping'an, Sheng Yong and others were among the generals, his heart was not as relaxed as the generals...... Zhu Gaoxu personally experienced fighting with those people, and there was no time when he didn't feel very difficult! He relied on luck every time to get out of danger, and this time his luck will be so good?

The embarrassment and hopelessness of being besieged several times still exists in his psychological shadow to this day; Zhu Gaoxu only hopes that he will not be arranged to play as a striker again.

The laughter in the hall was very arrogant, and Zhu Gaoxu forcibly laughed along, laughing more than crying.

In a war that is fought for others, the fruits of victory are those of others...... It's no wonder he can laugh! However, if he slackens the battle, in case he plays a smaller role than the historical King Gaoyang, he may immediately capsize; At least a few more years to live.

…… No matter what kind of mood he was in, Zhu Gaoxu put on the three-layer armor weighing fifty pounds again.

Wang Gui, Cao Fu and others next to him were so tired that they were sweating profusely, so they finally hung the parts of the armor on Zhu Gaoxu's body. If Zhu Gaoxu was allowed to wear this armor by himself, it would be impossible to wear it, and he had to be helped by others.

"Fortunately, the prince is born with divine power, who can afford to wear this armor except the prince?!" Wang Gui was busy with his work, and muttered, "It's too heavy, it's good for ordinary people to wear it, let alone walk, and be able to stand up." ”

Zhu Gaoxu got along with Wang Gui day and night, and he was also very familiar with each other at this time, so he said casually: "I feel very heavy and tired when I wear it." ”

Wang Gui said: "I'd rather be heavy, and don't let the arrow hurt the prince." ”

Zhu Gaoxu packed up and walked from the hall to the courtyard outside. Inside and outside the gatehouse, there were heavily armed soldiers and generals who came first.

Zhu Gaoxu took out a piece of paper, handed it to the generals who greeted him for inspection, and said, "According to the order of the Yan Palace, the people of my headquarters will go out of Beiping first and be stationed in Gu'an; In addition, the Daning Domain commanded the chickens to be dispatched by me. ”

Several generals circulated it and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the crowd, his eyes stayed on a sweaty face with pigtailed hair and dark skin, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, General Ji'er has a Chinese name that is easy to remember, otherwise I am afraid I would have to call the wrong name." ”

The cavalry general looked dazed, and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu with his hands on his chest.

At this moment, a eunuch ran over from among the centaurs, clasped his fists and said, "King Gaoyang, the princess heard that you are leaving, please go and see you again before leaving." ”

"Okay, I got it." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.

He glanced at the soldiers around him and said, "Wei Da, Wang Bin, and Ji'er will lead the army out of the main gate of Li first." Half an hour later, Chen Da Hammer and I went out of the city to catch up with you. ”

The generals clasped their fists and said: "The last general will wait for the order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu made proper arrangements, and then beckoned Chen Dazhui and more than 200 other horsemen to accompany him, and rushed to Yanwang's Mansion first.

When he arrived at the front gate of Yanwang's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu asked Chen Dazhui and other soldiers to rest outside, and he went to the mansion first. When he met a eunuch, he took out the Yanling knife and short sword on his body and handed them to the eunuch for safekeeping, and went straight to the inner mansion.

In the courtyard where the princess lived, Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward to pay a visit. Princess Xu is no longer the heroic appearance in the Beiping Guard, but has become a mother who has been told a lot.

Zhu Gaoxu is grateful, but there is no mother-son relationship. Fortunately, Princess Xu has other children, and Zhu Gaoxu has less guilt.

The person he paid the most attention to was Xu Miaojin, the little aunt wearing a skirt next to him.

Xu Miaojin's expression was normal and his mood was calm. But Zhu Gaoxu still can't forget her excitement and collapse that night, and she is still very confused...... I don't know what happened to her that she couldn't survive. But now that a few months have passed, isn't she alive and well?

After a long time, Zhu Gaoxu and his mother had been talking for a while, and they were about to leave.

At this time, Xu Miaojin said: "I'll send King Gaoyang out." ”

Seeing Princess Xu nodding, Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and said, "There is Aunt Lao." ”

The two of them walked out of the small courtyard from the corridor one after the other, and walked out along the road. Xu Miaojin walked ahead, turning her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu from time to time, her face was still cold, but the look in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes was very different.

It was late spring and early summer, but spring in Beiping was a little late, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of various flowers. People were also dressed thinly, and Zhu Gaoxu walked behind, admiring Xu Miaojin's twisted waist and rounded hip silhouette, while preventing her from looking back, and pretending to admire the pink petals floating down from the trees.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Gaoxu took the initiative to speak: "I kept my promise about that night and never mentioned it to anyone. ”

Xu Miaojin didn't respond, but after a while, he looked left and said, "The heavy armor worn by King Gaoyang, I'm afraid only you can wear it?" ”

Wang Gui also said it when he was at home. Zhu Gaoxu repeated casually: "Actually, I feel very heavy and tired when I wear it. ”

As he spoke, as he moved, the thick piece of iron was making a "tinkling" sound.

It was rare that this high-minded little aunt was willing to pay attention to him, and took the initiative to find a topic, so Zhu Gaoxu said a few more words, "Sometimes the army is camped, in case the enemy attacks the camp, and it is too late to put on the armor in a hurry, we don't take off the armor when we sleep." Every time I go to sleep without removing my armor, I almost have nightmares. ”

The moon cave door in front of her was already faintly in sight, and Xu Miaojin's pace slowed down a little more, she turned around, looked up at Zhu Gaoxu's face, and asked softly, "What kind of nightmare?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I dreamed of a scene when I was a few years old, I carried a bag of things on my back and walked from the foot of the mountain to the mountain. I forgot why I memorized those things, but I only remember this paragraph, and I remember it very deeply. It was very tiring and heavy, but I had to carry it up the mountain...... When I take a breath occasionally, I feel that in this world, as long as I am relaxed, it is the most lively thing. ”

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu probably remembered the cause and effect, he was talking about his past life...... Because the adults are busy with farming, the children also have to help, and he is carrying the sweet potato vine that feeds the pigs, and if he does not carry it, he will be beaten.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but stop when she heard this, and the bright gaze in her beautiful eyes brushed over Zhu Gaoxu's face again. After knowing each other for so long, Zhu Gaoxu estimated that the number of times Xu Miaojin has seen him in the past few years has not been more than a day today.

Although she said angrily that night, don't care about her life or death, Zhu Gaoxu can clearly feel it now that Xu Miaojin's attitude has changed a lot...... At this time, his gaze was not as indifferent as before, and there seemed to be some kind of concern hidden.

"I didn't expect you to be born in the prince's family and go through such hardships." Xu Miaojin said, and slowly began to walk forward.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "My little aunt is also from a good background, don't you still have hard work?" Many people look good, but they don't. Dare to be in front of my aunt, should I be carefree? ”

Xu Miaojin groaned, not knowing what it meant, did she agree or sneer?

Zhu Gaoxu even felt that he didn't know what Xu Miaojin meant, and she still seemed to be a fan. Sometimes it seems to know her details, and sometimes it doesn't know it; seems to understand her joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but doesn't seem to understand them at all.

Even though the two of them walked very slowly, the moon cave door still arrived, and it was right in front of them.

Zhu Gaoxu exhaled, hugged his fists and said, "Farewell, I'm leaving." ”

Xu Miaojin nodded and responded: "As the princess said, you have to be careful when you go into battle." ”

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu walked out of the moon cave door, he heard her call "Huh"! He turned his head and heard Xu Miaojin say, "That...... Thank you, King Gaoyang. ”

"Thank me for what?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

But at this time, Xu Miaojin had turned around and walked away, and she could only see her hurried back. The plain dress, dancing in the shade of the trees; At this time, the petals that fell, Rao is best to bloom the last soft posture, and suddenly eclipsed.
