"What? Your Highness, you are going to Ava City in person? ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I said don't get excited, don't get excited, look at you like this." ”

Yang Youcai sat directly on the ground: "If Your Highness wants to go to Ava City, it is better for me to slaughter it before going." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I said it all, it's not Ava City, it's the Gui family, why don't you understand what I mean?" ”

"It's on the edge of Ava City, what's the difference between going to Ava City, Your Highness, I didn't say you, no matter how you risked before, I was on your side, have I ever been vague? But this time it really doesn't work, Ava City is full of enemies, even if we don't reveal our identities, if there is a little bit of news to pass through, we will definitely be unable to fly, and when I accompany His Royal Highness to die, I will die, and Jinyiwei will have to fall into the infamy of a flattering monarch and misleading the country and the people. Jumping into the Yellow River can't be washed. ”

Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand to pull him: "You stand up first and listen to me, okay?" ”

"It's the same if I sit down, you don't have to persuade me, Your Highness, if you can convince me, I will naturally stand up, otherwise if you want to go to Ava City, you will have to step on my corpse."

Cheng Xiaolian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you are willing to sit and listen to it." Why did I go to Ava City to meet the people of the Gui family, you don't know, we came from afar, why did we let those people work for us? They originally entered Burma with Emperor Yongli, but after all, they have lived a normal life, so if we say a word, people have to take their wives and children to accompany us to play with our lives, why? ”

Yang Youcai snorted: "Those people were originally the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't follow the Yongli Lord before and after the saddle, and their loyalty was no longer enough, but now if His Royal Highness doesn't respond to his call, it will be a complete decision to betray our Ming Dynasty." Since their loyalty cannot be trusted, then there is no need for His Highness to take risks. ”

Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "There is still a Ming in the hearts of you people, and it has been thirty years since Chongzhen was hanged on the coal mountain." The people who died in the country are running around, not as good as the dog of peace, those people finally have such a place to settle down, just a few years have passed, let's pass a word to let them work hard, let you say are you willing? ”

"Naturally, I am willing, and I will not hesitate to do it for the sake of Daming."

"Yang Youcai, don't raise the bar, they are not you, they followed Emperor Yongli into Burma, they have already suffered a lot, if we don't have a little sincerity, I'm sorry for their persistence, let people look down on them. Second, some of them may not be willing to fight with us, if there is a hint of news that they are so close to Ava City, what do you think will happen? ”

Yang Youcai hesitated: "Then, Your Highness doesn't have to go in person, and it's the same for me on behalf of Your Highness." ”

Cheng Xiaolian shook his head: "It's different, their confidence is not from Yongli Ye, and they have to get it back from the surname Zhu, if they can't see the surname Zhu, they will have no confidence in their hearts, this surname Zhu is not worth their lives, and if they don't have the confidence, they can only use thirty percent." Why did Guanning Tieqi lose Ningyuan Jinzhou? Isn't it because Inspector Yuan was killed, and the battle is unconfident? I went, and they agreed, we can do things with a lot of strength, so we can plan, otherwise in the end it will be just a death, what is the difference between dying first and then dying? ”

Yang Youcai waved his hand: "Your Highness is sharp-toothed, I can't say anything about you, but your subordinates lose your temper with Your Highness, otherwise you can't work together for so long, since Your Highness has already thought about it, your subordinates will accompany Your Highness on a trip, but on the way, Your Highness has to listen to your subordinates, if the situation is not right, withdraw immediately, although it is important to persuade them, but it is not as important as our lives, if Your Highness does not listen, then I will tie Your Highness to Mengyang City and hand it over to Confucius, and then commit suicide in front of Your Highness." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Okay, good, listen to you." ”

Yang Youcai carefully selected thirty people, and there are Jinyiwei who have been here for a long time, and they have a certain understanding of the customs and customs, and of course, Meng Ke is almost invincible alone.

Before leaving, Cheng Xiaolian handed over the affairs in the city to Mu Xiaodi: "Xiaodi, the two of us are not a few years old, I will take advantage of being your eldest brother once, and all the affairs in the city will be handed over to you, you remember, once the news of my departure spreads, my situation will immediately become extremely difficult, so no matter what, you have to pretend that I am still there." ”

Mu Xiaodi was obviously also a little nervous: "But Your Highness, I, how should I pretend?" I don't want to kill you. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Those people around you are experienced, you can ask them if you have any questions, you can hide it for one more day, and my safety will be more guaranteed." ”

Mu Xiaodi nodded heavily: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust." ”

Out of the door, Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness really trusts this kid, even if this kid doesn't have any bad intentions, what about those people under him?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to be emperor from the beginning. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "He will know about our departure sooner or later, it is better to explain it clearly than to hide it, and besides, my highness has a lot of water, which is more difficult than the situation of a bandit leader, if his subordinates are not stupid." I would never do this kind of loss-making business. ”

The group pushed a cart of silk and began to march towards Ava City, Yang Youcai advised: "Meng Guangcheng and Meng Yangcheng are occupied by us, this side is a place of war, we can only send silk to Ruan Qingting's family in the name of sending silk, Ruan Qingting is a cabinet scholar, people inside and outside the court dare not embarrass him, let's just say that it is up and down so that we don't delay the effort to send things over, before I came, I have asked Jinyiwei to say hello to that side, Ruan Qingting will help us cover up one or two." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Now that the war continues, Ruan Qingting still has the heart to buy silk, and this reason is afraid that it will not convince others." ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "I also thought of this, Lord Ruan said, his son is dead, he wants to marry a new wife, how can he do a happy event without silk, so he ordered a batch of silk urgently, although it will be ridiculed, but we are free from suspicion." ”

Cheng Xiaolian sighed: "Yang Youcai, we have to remember this lesson, if there is a minister who loses his son in his old age in the future, and dies as his only son, the reason is still unknown, we must give someone an explanation, otherwise this revenge is really unbearable, it is simply a mess without scruples." ”
