Zhang Xiaowu brought them to the inn, screened everyone away, and then asked about their plans. The boy had great ambitions to regain the country, but Zhang Xiaowu said: "Now that the internal and external balance of the imperial court is balanced, you will definitely not be able to regain the country, and the prince has commanded the Qinglong army.
However, his army was defeated in the Great Wall, resulting in the death of many wives and families. Even many people in the Qinglong Army hated him. If you raise an army, the first people to attack you will be your father's former subordinates. In order to prove that they are loyal to the new emperor, they will definitely
Fight to the death.”
Cold sweat broke out on the boy's forehead, and he asked: "What should we do? Will you protect us?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I made a deal with your father to protect you, but I will not support you in regaining the throne. After all, the empire can no longer afford that kind of loss - and there is nothing we can do."
The boy had a bitter look on his face. Apparently he couldn't understand but had to accept the reality. He smiled bitterly. The emperor's uncle had become the emperor, and he, the prince who had been protected, had really become a commoner.
"Alas..." the boy said helplessly: "What's your name? Who is my father's son?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I am half a friend of your father's. My name is Zhang Xiaowu."
The two were shocked and said: "Are you a ghost general?!"
Zhang Xiaowu nodded.
The boy said excitedly: "You are really a ghost general. Have you killed tens of thousands of dog barbarians?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "The ones who killed tens of thousands of dog barbarians were ghost guards, not ghost generals."
The boy said: "Then are you going to let me go to the Ghost Guard?"
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and said: "You are not suitable to go to Saibei. Your biological father's concubines and children are all in Saibei, and there are more boys than girls in Saibei. Your father's concubines arrived in Saibei and were betrothed to bachelor soldiers early.
Some are even pregnant, and I'm worried that you will be angry after seeing them."
But the boy smiled and said: "Master Guijiang is wrong, I will not be angry, I know that my father is protecting us. As the emperor's grandson, we have known for a long time that if we want to survive, we must hide. My father is all
In order to protect us, they were sent to the north of the Great Wall as slaves, but I successfully obtained the title of scholar."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I think you should not give up your fame. You should continue to take the national examination. I will help you buy a villa in Longdu, the capital, hire servants for you, so that you can study with peace of mind and be promoted to high school as soon as possible. Your talent cannot be underestimated.
Even if you are not loyal to the emperor, you must also serve the people of the world." He looked at the boy's slender figure, shook his head and said: "You are not a soldier, so you should study."
The boy had no choice but to agree, but the girl remained silent and extremely quiet.
"What are your real names?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
The boy said, "Just call me Meng Shi. I don't want to use my real name anymore. The surname Xuanyuan is even more of a curse." He looked at his sister and said, "I am Meng Shi and Meng Zifan, and she is my sister Meng Zifan."
However, I will rely more on the general's support in the future, and when I become the number one scholar in high school, I will definitely repay the general's great kindness."
After a night's rest, everyone immediately left Chechi County. However, not long after leaving the county, they were intercepted by several small boats. Zhang Xiaowu said, are water bandits so rampant in Chechi County? Are they robbing and looting property in broad daylight? Ruan Qingwen was also surprised.
, saying that Chechi County is under the jurisdiction of Longdu Prefecture and there should be no water bandits. The water army is not far from here, so they are not afraid of being wiped out.
When several small boats approached, a big fat man stood on the bow and said coldly: "I don't know where the river dragon came to our Chechi County. Han Wubing is the boss of the boat gang."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "We rushed to the capital to take the national examination and passed through Chechi County. I didn't meet you. Please forgive me."
Han Wubing said: "I don't know if you'll forgive me or not, but you kidnapped my fifth brother's concubine, so it's your fault. Listen to me and put Meng Ran'er off the boat. I'll forget about it. If you want to do anything wrong,
Brain, I'm just afraid that if you want to live, you will lose your life."
Although Meng Ran'er was quiet and calm, she had a resolute character at this time and said: "Bah! I am not his Han Wugou's concubine! Even if I die, I will not be a servant of your Han family."
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but admire the girl. This pair of children had much stronger personalities than the prince Xuanyuan Zixun. One knew how to advance and retreat, and the other was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. They completely avoided all the shortcomings of Xuanyuan Zixun - they should
Inherited the excellent genes from the old palace maid.
Han Wubing sneered, raised his neck and said, "That's your stupidity. You don't even think about it. If you leave, will your grandpa survive?"
Zhang Xiaowu slapped his head, turned around and said to Bao Yin and Jia Si, "We have really harmed Mr. Meng by leaving. Why don't you capture this man and use him to threaten the Han family. Bao Yin, Jia Si"
When Si Ye heard this, he was immediately excited and jumped from the boat to Han Wubing's boat in a few steps. Han Wubing's men were all boat runners, and they were very hateful. Generally, water bandits were not their opponents, but it was a pity that they encountered
What arrived were the most elite ghost guards in the world.
Bao Yin and Jia Si also attacked the person's throat, eyes, heart and lower body. Even if they didn't use knives or weapons, they would still be fatal. With three punches and two kicks, all of Han Wubing's men were crippled to the ground.
They were howling in pain, and some even fell into the water and were too scared to get on the boat.
Han Wubing was also dumbfounded. Who are these people and how can they be so cruel? Today he asked the second brother's masters to come with him. Seeing that he could not defeat his opponents, he hurriedly shouted: "You guys
If you attack me, you won't be able to leave Chechi County. Let me tell you, my eldest brother Han Wudi is..."
Bao Yin stepped forward and pushed Han Wubing to the ground. Han Wubing was still making threats, but he only felt a buzzing sound and his vision went dark. When he woke up, he found that he was tied to a car.
On the oxcart, the oxcart was swaying forward. Behind the scenes were groups of soldiers with bright armor. They were wearing armor and face masks, and their eyes were naked. They were looking at themselves as if they were cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Who are you? I...I was wrong, I was really wrong." Han Wubing was straightforward. He was a man of the world and had no backbone. He was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. These people in front of him were obviously officials who could not be offended.
If they were ordinary petty officials, he would not be afraid, but it was obvious that these people were officers who could not be offended, and they were officers of the elite army.
Wang Yijin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Aren't you threatening our general? Why, you have the guts to threaten the general, but don't have the guts to resist to the end?"
Han Wubing said: "First of all, tell me who you are. My eldest brother works as a policeman in the yamen. Maybe you know him."
Wang Yijin smiled and said: "We have no intention of getting to know each other, but you should have heard of our general's name."
