I'm tired of eating and want to know that. You are the leader of this mission and I am just cooperating. You can do whatever you want. Even if you make a mistake, I will be able to find reasons to shirk you in the future!
Li Jinglong was lying down, but his mind was not idle.
However, he was extremely curious. King Huai was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time. This was the first vassal king to commit an offense since the founding of the dynasty. How should he deal with it?

A few days later, Huai'an arrived.
The convoy was stopped by the defenders outside Huai'an City. A lieutenant holding a sword on his waist brought people over and looked at the somewhat luxurious convoy suspiciously.
Although he was leaving the capital on orders, Li Jinglong's motorcade restrained its flags on the road. However, the carriages he rode were all Li family carriages, which were completely regulated by the Duke.
Who are you? The captain of the garrison did not dare to ask, so he asked.
Ask your commander of the Huai'an Guards, Zhou Danian, to come over! Li Jinglong opened the car curtain and asked with a straight face, "We meet old friends!"
Who are you? The captain continued to ask.
Li Jinglong's eyes turned cold, do you need me to say it a second time?
The captain was aroused by the look, and his heart suddenly pounded. Looking at the luxurious motorcade and the guards in casual clothes, but with murderous eyes, he felt a chill in his heart.
Just wait a minute, I’ll let you know!
Huai'an Guard is deep inland. Although it is close to the canal, there has been no war for many years. The defenders are ordinary soldiers who have never seen blood. They cannot compete with Li Jinglong's family soldiers and the casual guards.
language.
Not long after, a military attache came over on horseback, cursing, you guys, bear soldiers, no matter what kind of convoy they are, if there is no road guide, they will stop it and check it! People say he is an old friend of me, he is an old friend of me. He wants to say it is me.
Dad, do you believe it too?
Sir, those carriages look very rich and expensive at first glance. We can't afford to offend a large number of soldiers! The captain said aggrievedly.
Beat up! The military attache scolded, you are a city guard, why are you so scared? What if you are either rich or noble? Except for the emperor and the emperor's grandson, who dares not to abide by the king's law!
Cursing in his mouth, he rode up to the convoy, and his face suddenly became condensed.
The Huai'an Guard Commander's official position is not high, but he has to have military exploits to get such a good job. The military attache also fought at the border, and it can be seen at a glance that the guards of this convoy are all veterans of hundreds of battles.
I haven’t heard of any noble person coming to Huai’an!
Just when he was confused, Li Jinglong showed his head in the car window again and said with a smile, Zhou Danian, don't you recognize me?
Yo! Zhou Danian quickly turned over and dismounted, smiled and went over to salute and said, Young Master, why are you here?
Zhou Danian followed Li Jinglong's father and Li Wenzhong in the Mobei expedition. At that time, he was also one of Li Wenzhong's guards. After several battles, he made meritorious deeds and was secretly promoted to his current official position.
He was Li Wenzhong's bodyguard back then, so it's not an exaggeration to call Li Jinglong a young master.
You are so rich now! Li Jinglong looked at the fat on Zhou Dayan's waist and said with a smile.
The latter smiled and said in a low voice, this place is so nurturing that it is difficult not to gain weight!
Li Jinglong hooked his hands, and when the latter stepped forward, he heard Li Jinglong whisper, I have been ordered to come to Huai'an to review military affairs! After saying that, he continued, take me to the camp, don't show off!
Zhou Danian was stunned and rolled his eyes, whether he was inspecting the subordinates' guards alone, or...
Li Jinglong said nothing and gave the other party a look.
The latter understood the idea and waved his big hand, hurry up and open the city gate! Lao Liu, blow the trumpet and pass the order. All the soldiers and generals in the camp who asked for leave will return to the camp after the three-tone drum and wait for orders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!

Huai'an Prefecture, Lotus Pond.
Under the shade of a big tree on the shore, Zhu Yunwen and Yao Guangxiao, who was wearing a bamboo hat, were fishing silently. The two seemed to have been sitting for a long time, but the bamboo baskets containing fish next to them were empty.
I don’t believe it! Yao Guangxiao pulled back the fishing rod a little irritably. After such a long time, he couldn’t catch a single fish?
Zhu Yunwen said nothing and suddenly withdrew his fishing rod. On the hook of his fishing rod, he saw a fresh fish, probably weighing two kilograms, struggling desperately and shaking its tail.
This one cannot be released again! Yao Guangxiao laughed.
Zhu Yunwen ignored it, picked the fish off the hook, and threw it back into the water.
You......Yao Guangxiao is puzzled.
The joy of fishing lies not in how much you catch, but in the word "fishing"! Zhu Yunwen said disdainfully, "It's a shame that you are still a monk and have such an impetuous temper!"
Nonsense! Yao Guangxiao is not disdainful. After fishing for a long time, all the fish you caught were released. So what kind of fish did you catch?
Vulgar! Zhu Yunwen sneered.
Fishing is a way to make a living. If you, my lord, are blindly benevolent, you will lose your true nature! Yao Guangxiao curled his lips, besides, those fish’s mouths are all broken, and they won’t survive if you put them back. It’s better to get in with you and me.
The belly is turned into feces and can also be used as fertilizer!
This is the cycle of all things born in nature! All things born in nature are for people to eat and use. The so-called benevolence is not to kill them all, but to ask for them without restraint, and to provide all things in the world with recuperation and regeneration, so that they can have inexhaustible supplies!
As for the prince's Xiaoren, both sides suffer losses. You see, the fish can't survive, and our stomachs are empty, and we have wasted most of the day, so why bother!
Zhu Yunwen sighed, you, a monk, are sometimes a demon, sometimes a human, and sometimes you have a side that makes people laugh. Which side is the real you?
Yao Guangxiao smiled, he is a little monk everywhere, he is a true person, he just says different things about different things!
At this moment, the housekeeper of Prince Huai's Mansion came quickly from a distance and stopped ten steps away.
Zhu Yunwen frowned, put down his fishing rod, walked over, and whispered to the man.
Immediately, Zhu Yunwen's expression became particularly embarrassed.
What's the matter? When Zhu Yunwen turned around and sat down, Yao Guangxiao asked anxiously.
Zhu Yunwen thought deeply, "Just now, Li Jinglong entered the city, saying that he was ordered to review Huai'an's military affairs!"
There aren't even any bandits in Huai'an, so what's the point of reviewing military affairs? Yao Guangxiao looked solemn. Besides, to review military affairs, several governors from the Fifth Army Governor's Office must come together, so why did he come by himself?
Yes, I am also surprised! Zhu Yunwen let out a long sigh.
Where did the news come from? Yao Guangxiao asked again.
Zhu Yunwen smiled. Li Jinglong sent someone to tell him. He quietly entered the city and didn't come to see him. Instead, he directly asked someone to deliver the message. How strange!
Yao Guangxiao thought for a long time, Your Majesty, he wants to review your army guards?
No! Zhu Yunwen said, my king’s army guard only has 800 people, what’s there to review?
Have any of your guards ever been involved with the guards? Yao Guangxiao asked again, for example, privately buying strong bows and crossbows, heavy armor weapons, gunpowder and blunderbuss from the garrison?
No! Zhu Yunwen shook his head.
The corners of Yao Guangxiao's eyes twitched twice. Since there is nothing, what is he here for? The ones who come are always evil. Your Majesty, you must be careful when dealing with them!

Li Jinglong entered the military camp of Huai'an Guard and summoned all generals and officers below the commander.
He Guangyi, on the other hand, was dressed in casual clothes. He walked around the city a few times and turned around and entered the back door of a gambling house.
I've seen Dutang! The boss of the gambling house has a big belly and a sinister face, and he salutes respectfully.
Letting you work as an errand in Huai'an is not to let you enjoy your life. Look at the fat on your body? He Guangyi said displeased.
The owner of the gambling house did not dare to say anything, so he could only bow his head and say yes, and apologize.
Have you received my letter? He Guangyi asked.
Received, everything is ready! The gambling shop owner said.
Can it be sent in? He Guangyi said again.
Yes, we already have our people in Prince Huai's Mansion. Several of his royal guards' chiefs are also regular customers of this gambling house. They all owe money here, so they will definitely submit! The gambling house owner replied.
He Guangyi nodded with satisfaction and went to do the work! Be more attentive!
