Zhu Youzhen was poured ** soup by Tu Zhong, and he was anxious for a while, and he just wanted to see how ** the "stunning singer" was.

But with the afterglow of his eyes, he saw that Qi Meifeng was calmly pretty, glaring at him angrily, and looked extremely unhappy.

This thing's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that he was going on the expedition on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not to visit the mountains and rivers. If you are busy looking for the flower girl as soon as you enter the city, what should you let the soldiers of the Qi family who get along with each other day and night think of themselves? It is up to them to ensure their safety along the way, but don't offend this aunt!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and said against his will: "Thank you Grandpa Tu for your kindness." However, the soldiers were ordered to be diligent to the king, and they did not remove their clothes along the way, even if they entered the city, dozens of people crowded into a room, and it was rare to have a good rest. Thinking of them, how embarrassed is this king to enjoy the blessings here. I still went back to the army to rest, and early tomorrow morning, according to the arrangement of the superintendent, I set off for Zunhua to inspect. ”

Tu Zhong was full of praise for Zhu Youzhen, but he secretly scolded in his heart: What are you pretending, what kind of goods are you, the factory supervisor has already explained it clearly! If you don't want to stay here, we will save a stunning beauty! As long as you obediently go to Zunhua, discipline you and have no return!

Out of the eunuch's mansion, Zhu Youzhen saw that Qi Meifeng was following silently, still angry with himself, so he had to salivate and say nothing: "Meifeng, are you sleepy, why don't you speak?" ”

Qi Meifeng said angrily: "The last general is afraid of disturbing His Highness's Qingxing!" Fang was guarding the eunuch's mansion just now, didn't Grandpa Tu want to find a singer for His Royal Highness? If His Highness agrees, the last general can easily spend the night! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "What, this king is not a womanizer!" ”

Qi Meifeng said disdainfully: "Just listening to a tune, how did His Highness get to 'lustful'?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was speechless for a while, and secretly complained that he was too careless, but there were no three hundred taels of silver here!

He snorted for a long time, his face turned red, and he finally held back a sentence: "I still like to listen to the military songs of the Qi family!" ”

Qi Meifeng snatched a few words from Zhu Youzhen, and also felt that she was a little excessive. At this time, seeing Zhu Youzhen like a child who had done something wrong, that pitiful appearance was really angry and ridiculous. She finally couldn't help it, laughed out loud, and whispered shyly: "The last general is afraid that Sister Yulian will be sad!" In order to cure the poison for His Royal Highness, she did not hesitate to pretend to be a eunuch and blend into the army, you should understand this painstaking effort! Right now, you haven't exhausted the toxins, so you shouldn't do it yet..."

"Why, you know everything?" Zhu Youzhen's old face turned red and said in a sneering manner.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the last general and Sister Yulian will definitely keep her secret at first sight, and will not let her reveal her identity." Qi Meifeng said with a smile, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, the two of us hit it off at first sight, as long as it's not in front of everyone, we're already sisters!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's head was as big as a bucket at once, thinking that this bag of jade mercy was good anywhere, but he just liked to recognize his sisters. She has already befriended the four sisters of Meilan and Zhuju in King Xin's mansion, as well as Chen Yuanyuan Babai in Jinling, and also counted Dong Xiaowan, who has left. Now there is another Qi Meifeng! Fortunately, these women are not all around, as the saying goes, three women in one play, if they get together, they will not be annoyed to death if they are all day!

Nothing was said all night. Sun Chengzong was worried about the situation on the front line, and he was afraid that Guan Ning would take advantage of his absence and command indiscriminately, so he led the army to set off in a hurry when the sky was unknown.

Yan Mingtai is the governor of Jiliao, and nominally speaking, he should also be responsible for the war situation in Liaodong. But in fact, because of repeated defeats in Liaodong, the imperial court has already added Liaodong Economic Strategy to be in charge of Liaodong, and he, the governor of Jiliao, can only manage Jizhou, and his power has shrunk by half.

However, Sun Chengzong believed that Jizhou and Liaodong were interdependent and connected with each other, and this time he commanded the troops to go out, not to understand the urgent need, but to take charge of the defense of Jiliao and design a big plan to solve the border problem in the northeast of the Ming Empire once and for all.

Therefore, he insisted that Yan Mingtai go to Shanhaiguan with him to discuss the strategy of leveling Liao with the king of Liaodong Jinglu, Zaijin.

Although Yan Mingtai was timid and afraid of things, Sun Chengzong, as a supervisor, could control all civil and military officials in Jiliao, and he had to follow orders.

And Yuan Chonghuan, the director of the Ministry of War, also took the initiative to ask for help again, and was willing to go to Shanhaiguan with Sun Chengzong to inspect the defense of the border army.

Sun Chengzong felt that Yuan Chonghuan was a rare and manufacturable material, and immediately agreed.

Tu Zhong couldn't stay with Sun Chengzong, so he had to turn to Zhu Youzhen to be courteous. After the army was launched, he said to Zhu Youzhen with a sneer: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, anyway, the Inspector has already left, you must have a good time in Jizhou." There is a thousand-year-old temple in the city, the incense is extremely prosperous, and there are Tibetan tantric scriptures inside, there is a method of 'happy Zen' cultivation, why don't Your Highness go and rejoice? ”

Zhu Youzhen's heart fluttered again, but he still couldn't help himself: "Next time, next time!" Since the Governor has already led the army to march, this king is embarrassed to lag behind, so he should hurry up and set off to Zunhua to inspect! ”

Tu Zhong saw that Zhu Youzhen had made up his mind, and pretended to stay for a while, so he arranged a guard of honor, blowing and beating, and sent him and the 500 Qi family troops who accompanied him out of the city.

Watching them go farther and farther, Tu Zhong was like frost above the city, and asked a henchman lieutenant beside him: "Has the matter been done?" ”

The lieutenant replied in a low voice: "If you go back to your father-in-law, the news has been delivered, and the border gate has also been opened and released." ”

The horizontal flesh on Tu Zhong's face twitched, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said silently in his heart: Our family has no grudge against you, who told you to offend the factory governor! For the sake of our family's future, I have no choice but to take you under the knife!

Zhu Youzhen and his entourage went out of the east gate, turned north, and entered the mountainous area in a short time. At this time, the bitter cold wind carried large snowflakes, stirring the sky into a dark place. The road in the mountains was already rugged and difficult to travel, and the heavy snow for several days had already buried the official road that was not wide, and in some places there was no road at all.

Zhu Youzhen and Qi Meifeng rode on the horse, and the horse's hooves were wrapped in a thick layer of leather, one was to protect against the cold, and the other was also afraid that the road would be icy, too smooth, causing the horse to lose its front hooves. On this kind of mountain road, the two no longer dared to gallop on horseback, so they could only walk slowly and cautiously.

And the five hundred soldiers of the Qi family army worked even harder. In addition to wearing helmets and armor, carrying heavy birds, knives and guns, they also had to push dozens of carts. On top of the cart, in addition to the original Franc cannon and other weapons, a lot of food has been added, and it has become heavier.

In order to keep the horses physically strong, they can go into battle at any time, and they never use horsepower to pull the cart, but purely pull forward and push back by manpower. If it was in the plains, it would be better, but at this time it is all mountain roads, and the weakness of poor transportation capacity is undoubtedly exposed.

Hundreds of soldiers shouted their trumpets and struggled on the frozen smooth surface, the slightest mistake causing the heavy cart to slide to the side and drag it back to its original position with great difficulty. After walking for more than an hour, all the soldiers were already sweating like rain.

When we reached a mountain pass, the slope of the official road was very large, almost reaching 45 degrees. Zhu Youzhen saw that the soldiers of the cart were working very hard, and he was embarrassed to sit steadily, so he immediately jumped off the horse and pushed the cart with everyone.

Qi Meifeng hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness! As a prince, how can you do such heavy physical work! ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "What's wrong with the prince, the prince can't work?" I think I am Emperor Taizu, isn't it also Huaiyou's cloth, I have planted the land, and I have begged for food! The soldiers are working so hard, since I am on behalf of the Son of Heaven, I should take the lead! ”

In fact, he was also born in the working people in his previous life, and he was most disgusted with those leaders who were high and powerful, as well as those businessmen who became rich overnight and were unkind to the rich. Whenever those local tyrants drove the majestic Mercedes-Benz BMW, playing harsh heavy metal music, whistling past him and splashing him with muddy water, he always scolded these guys for eight generations of ancestors, and secretly determined: If he is developed one day, he must not be such a bastard!

However, he had been mixed in his previous life for more than 20 years, and he was always a turtle, and he had no chance to fulfill his promise. Now that I have traveled to the Ming Dynasty without paying attention, I am still a prince, and if I only care about my own enjoyment, it will be equivalent to pumping my own mouth.

But Qi Meifeng and the soldiers of the Qi family's army, where have they ever seen such a person in a high position who is willing to do hard work, and he was moved to tears. Originally, the soldiers were already very tired, but when they were pushed by Zhu Youzhen, they immediately mustered up their enthusiasm again, chanting "Chitose" while gritting their teeth and pushing the carts over the steep slope one by one. Even Bao Yulian and the dozen or so eunuchs were infected by their spirit and joined the labor team together.

The cart crosses a steep slope and is ahead of a relatively flat downhill road. Zhu Youzhen got on the horse again, and just sweated profusely, when he was blown by the wind, he also felt comfortable and happy.

He saw five hundred soldiers marching proudly in the wind and snow, and the heroic Qi Meifeng sat on the horse and followed closely, a sense of pride arose, and sang without thinking: "The cold wind is Xiaoxiao, and the snow is drifting; It's a long road, and it's a long way.

Looking back, looking at the itinerary, the past, like smoke and clouds; I still remember that when I parted, I left love in the snow!

Love in the snow, love in the snow, dream in the snow is not awake; Infatuation in exchange for a lifetime of tears!

Love in the snow, love in the snow, I walk alone in the snow; Not much heroic pride!

Only by walking with you can we pursue our dreams! ”

After singing the song, the whole army applauded. Qi Meifeng said in surprise: "Your Highness, this song has a novel tune, and the words are plain and vulgar, it is really a wonderful word!" But I don't know what the name of this song is, and whether it was composed by His Royal Highness? ”

Zhu Youzhen finished singing triumphantly, only then did he remember that he had made an old mistake again, and smiled awkwardly: "This song is called "Love in the Snow", that... It's me, hey, hey, hey! ”

Qi Meifeng suddenly showed a look of admiration. Bao Yulian on the side heard it, but couldn't help but have black lines on his head, and secretly said that this prince can't do anything else, but his ability in this area is not small, and he can always find some novel tunes to win the hearts of girls! He used this trick to coax Dong Xiaowan and Chen Yuanyuan the month before last, and at this time, he came to repeat the old trick!
