NOVEL WEB Chapter 221 - Rat
It was a light day and a few carriages came out of the north gate. The guards stopped the caravan to check, and just as they were about to show off, they saw the man on the back of the horse and knelt down in fear.
“Alright, do your job well!” The man's legs were pressed against the horse's abdomen as he slowly left with the carriages.
Wait. When the convoy was far away, a few other soldiers ran over and kicked their fellow soldiers who were still kneeling. “Hey, why are you still kneeling when you're already gone? Who is that person? Did he scare you to this extent?”
“Bah, don't kill you bastards!” The soldier wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and supported the hand of the others to stand up, “That is the son of the Duke of An, the top of our peak, General Hu, and to be able to obtain his protection, that noble person in the carriage…”
Everyone trembled a few times and did not dare to think any further. They could only silently wipe their eyes, afraid that they would bump into a noble person.
The two carriages moved forward at the same speed, one in front and one behind. This time, Hu Jinpeng took the initiative to take over the responsibility of being a guard. He brought thirty guards and ten secret guards with him.
In the carriage in front, Tang Yue was resting with his eyes closed. Zhang Chun stared at his face for a long time, but in the end, he could not help but ask: “Did you guys fight just like that?”
He had lived in the crown prince's residence for many years. This was the first time he had seen this couple fight. It was so fresh!
Tang Yue opened his eyes and glanced at him. “Cold war! Do you know what cold war is?”
“Tch, is a cold war great?” He was still cold with Wang Dingjun.
“Hey, are you really okay leaving just like that? Why can't I calm down? Why don't we split up with that person?”
Zhang Chun felt extremely dangerous when he thought of leaving together with Crown Prince Zhao. He didn't know if he would suffer all sorts of assassinations along the way, and wasn't this how the television dramas acted?
As a former top ten actress, Zhang Chun's heart was nervous and nervous.
Tang Yue didn't want to answer him. Crown Prince Zhao went out because he wanted to go with him. Otherwise, why would he plan on going out?
The Crown Prince was not allowed to leave Ye City without the King's permission. It had taken him a lot of effort to get out of the Ye City together.
King of Qi was still alive, and the news of an assassination failed only once in the southwest. This made King of Qi furious. He sent thirty thousand soldiers, and the Yue Yi Clan followed along with twenty thousand soldiers. It seemed like they were going to attack the city immediately.
The news did not spread. The moment King of South Jin received the secret report, he sent Crown Prince Zhao to the palace. The father and son discussed in the study room for a long time. No one knew the content, but the next day, King of South Jin issued a decree. The Crown Prince was to be grounded for three months and reflect on himself.
As for reflecting on himself, no one knew anything. They only speculated that Crown Prince Zhao did not make the king unhappy. If not for Crown Prince's stable foundation these years, everyone would suspect that His Highness had lost favor.
However, they did not know that Crown Prince, who had been grounded, had secretly left the city. His target was the Qinyang City, which was in a tense situation. free(w)ebnovel
Crown Prince Zhao and his son were sitting face to face. In front of him, Little Luoyuan always behaved in a serious manner. He knelt on both knees, straightened his back, and placed his hands on his knees, looking straight ahead.
After Crown Prince Zhao finished reading a document, he took out a plate of nuts from a drawer and placed it in front of his son. He said a simple word, “Eat.”
“Yes, my son.” Little Luoyuan gave orders and moved. He ate five nuts each. Then he stopped. This was the rule Tang Yue set for him. However, he had never abided in front of Tang Yue, but in front of Crown Prince Zhao, he didn't dare to disobey.
Because everyone in the prefecture knew that Crown Princess's words were equivalent to an imperial decree to Crown Prince. No matter who it was, they had to obey it.
“Detain…” A knocking sound came from the window. Little Luoyuan looked over curiously and secretly moved his numb legs.
“What is it?”
“Your Highness, it's done.” Hu Jinpeng's voice sounded excited outside the window.
Little Luoyuan knew Hu Jinpeng and called him Uncle Hu according to Tang Yue's request. He was a little excited when he heard Hu Jinpeng's voice.
Finally, it was no longer him and his father.
“Your Highness, do we need to send the news back to Ye City immediately?”
“No need. Let's seal off the news first. I believe the commanders under King of Qi will not want to spread the news. Otherwise, the first ones who will not give up will be the Yue Family.”
“Isn't that what we want to see?” Hu Jinpeng was a little surprised.
“That was what we planned to do at the beginning, but now that things have come to this, it is not enough for me to ask them to retreat.” Crown Prince Zhao took out a token from his pocket and threw it out the window. “Take it. It is time for the soldiers who have trained for a long time to see blood.”
Hu Jinpeng caught the black wooden token in his hand. He felt it was extremely heavy. He knew that this token was a private Elite Armament set up by His Highness. He was lucky to have seen it once. To be honest, the scene was not enough to describe it with the word ‘shock'.
“Your Highness, this…” He thought that this Elite Armament would be His Highness's own commander, so why did he give the token to him?
“This token is only a signal, it has no other use. This army only recognizes people and not objects. If one day I am no longer around, I will appoint a successor, otherwise no one can command them.”
Hu Jinpeng nodded. He thought that Crown Prince Zhao could not see him and said, “Your Highness has thought it through. Your subordinate will do it now.”
Finally, this peerless Elite Armament was going to be unsheathed? He did not know if it would leave an indelible memory for the enemy.
“Father, can Luo Er go to the carriage in front?” Little Luoyuan, who had been sitting in the carriage for half a day, finally could not help but want to run.
He would rather go and squeeze with Uncle Chun in a carriage with his cold father. His father was too boring. He really did not know what his father liked about him.
“What's wrong? You feel very uncomfortable being with me?”
Little Luoyuan shook his head. “No, I just miss my father.”
He peeked at Crown Prince Zhao's face and saw that his face had darkened. However, his eyes were full of gentleness. He knew that he had hit the nail on the head.
Don't think that he was insensible at such a young age. He had already noticed that these two people had been ignoring each other recently. It was obvious that they had quarreled. Humph, it must be because his father had angered his little father.
Little Luoyuan's heart was always biased. He even made up his mind to bring his little father far away from the bitter sea when he grew up.
Fortunately, no one else knew about his wish. Otherwise, Crown Prince would definitely kick him back into his mother's womb and reforge him.
Crown Prince Zhao held a piece of paper in his hand. On it was Tang Yue's notes, but he did not see what was written clearly. His mind was filled with Tang Yue's images.
He missed Tang Yue too.
He looked at his son and his thoughts changed. He took out a pouch from his pocket and threw it to him. “If you can get your little father to come to this carriage, this thing will belong to you.”
Little Luoyuan turned his face away. He had an expression that said, “Don't try to bribe me.”
However, he still could not control himself and opened the bag. There were a few crystal clear stones inside. They were the stones that he used to like very much. However, his father rejected him because he did not know how to appraise them.
Now, in order to make his little father forgive him, he had even started to curry favor with him.
This lowly person!
Little Luoyuan had labeled his great father in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he agreed. First of all, he missed his little father as well. Secondly, with his little father around, his life would be easy.
Not long after, the carriage in front was stopped by someone. A guard knocked on the window urgently. “Young master, quickly go to the back and take a look. Little Young Master seems to be a little uncomfortable.”
When Tang Yue heard that his son was not feeling well, he did not expect to be cheated. He carried the medicine box that he carried with him and jumped off the carriage and ran back.
Crown Prince Zhao looked at his anxious look and could not help thinking in his heart, “So it was so simple to trick him to come here. I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.”
If he had known earlier that he should have used his own name, he would have been nervous about him.
For a moment, Crown Prince Zhao was jealous of his son, which made Little Luoyuan, who was sitting opposite him, feel uneasy.
The child thought to himself, “Father has such a bad temper. How can he take it?”
“Luoyuan, where do you feel uncomfortable?” Tang Yue jumped into the carriage and pulled Little Luoyuan to ask before he could look at Crown Prince Zhao.
Crown Prince Zhao felt cold from head to toe. He secretly glared at his son, who immediately let out a cry and went into Tang Yue's arms.
“Little daddy, I'm a little dizzy.” Being dizzy was a good excuse. He couldn't find anything wrong with it even if he wanted to.
Tang Yue did a good check on him, but he could not find anything. Thanks to Crown Prince Zhao's strict teaching, Little Luoyuan learned to squat when he could walk. If he could run, he would start to train his body. His physique was excellent.
“Is it because I've been sitting in a carriage for too long that I'm tired?” Tang Yue muttered to himself.
Little Luoyuan rolled his eyes and leaned against Tang Yue. “Yes,” he said. “It must be. It was fine in the morning and the carriage was shaking and dizzy.”
In this era, there were no cement roads or oil roads. There were potholes and potholes. It was already good enough that the carriage could pass smoothly. Naturally, it would not feel too comfortable.
Tang Yue smeared some home-made cooling oil on him and comforted him. “Bear with it for another half an hour. The team should rest. When the time comes, I will take you out of the carriage and walk around.”
Tang Yue could not help but glare at Crown Prince Zhao after saying this. If he did not have to drag his son out, how could Little Luoyuan not feel well?
The child was still so young. What if he couldn't endure the long journey?
One must know that they might have to eat and sleep in the wind along the way. Even adults would suffer, let alone such a young child.
Crown Prince Zhao was still a little happy after being stared at. At least it meant that he was a little happy.
