"General Hao," Mu Hanzhang stood up, saw that his expression was not right, so he asked, "but is there something wrong?"

"Master, I Hao Dazhou is a rough man, short-sighted, but there are some things I really can not see." Hao Dazhou looked at him aggressively, taller than Mu Huanzhang a head of stout body quite a sense of oppression.

Mu Hanzhang froze, backed up half a step to let him sit on a flat, clean stone, warmly said: "If the general is encountering any difficulties, but say no harm, Junqing is not talented, but wherever you can help the general will not refuse."

"......" in the face of the gentle and courteous military division, Hao Dazhou punch in the cotton, full of anger was born to suffocate back, suddenly felt uncomfortable up, only to grumble in the stone sat.

"Woohoo!" Little Yellow jumped onto the rock and curiously pawed and scratched at the cloth bag around Hao Dagger's waist.

Mu Hanzhang quietly hooked his lips as he looked at him like this, "What exactly has General encountered?"

Hao Da Dao sighed, "Warlord, I don't care what's going on between you and the king, but I've heard that the king already has a wife in the capital, and it's a male wife of noble birth."

Mu Hanyang frowned, "What is the general's intention in saying this?"

"Dachen laws and regulations, only allowed to marry a male wife shall not take male concubines, the military division and the king of this kind of unexplained hanging out, to the princess is very disrespectful." Hao Dazhou said and excited, he always look down on those who married a wife and still fooling around outside, it is not easy to marry a wife, take good care of the family is a great man to do.

"General Hao ......," Mu Hanzhang blinked.

"With the master's talent, the examination of a scholar is more than enough, why do you want to follow another man around unclear." This said out really some hurt, Hao big knife dare not look up to see the expression of Mu Huanzhang, the military division has always treated him well, these days he also admired what he did, really do not want to see him so trample on their own.

Mu Han Zhang looked at this Hao Dagger, pursed lips can not help but slightly upward, turn to see the small yellow has been his waist of the cloth bag bite through, take the claw hook inside the jerky pulled out and eat out of the happy, ultimately could not help but stifled laughter. See Hao Da Dao looked up and over, busy convergence of the face smile: "General Hao is really a great man with feelings and righteousness, Jun Qing admire. Only, I'm afraid I can't participate in the examination again in this life."

"Why is that?" Hao Da Dao said suspiciously.

"Because he has married King Cheng as his wife." Jing Shao had just been signaled by his own princess's eyes to stop a few steps away, but now he really couldn't help but interject.

"Ah?" Hao Dabao was uncertain, standing up, the jerky in the cloth bag clattered and fell all over the place, Xiao Huang pounced on it with a wow sound, panicked, not knowing which one to eat first.

Jing Shao strides forward to take his own princess into his arms, this group of guys, nothing to do not ponder over the tactics even come to make things difficult for Jun Qing, it is really hateful.

Mu Hanyang broke away from the arm around the waist, a handsome face through a little scarlet, lightly coughing slightly apologetic to Hao Dazhou said: "The situation is not necessary, this matter has not been said, one of the family members to leave the capital is really not the rules, and then I also hope that the generals in the army can really accept me, rather than as a princess meaningless respect, so that the general misunderstood the ......"

Hao Dabao's eyes widened, and a rigid face gradually turned from black to red, then from red to green, and finally became iron blue!

Jing Shao went up to hold his own princess waist, put his chin on his right shoulder, interesting to watch Hao Dagger face, the last life he was in the south of the river to stroll in the greenhouse, was Hao Dagger a burst of counting down, but he simply could not listen to it at that time, but also ridiculed Hao Dagger fear of the interior, now think, Hao Dagger's approach is right, both married to his wife, should honor him to protect him.

"Hehehe, in that case, it's Mister Hao who is meddling." Hao Da Dao laughed dryly and turned around to leave.

"General," Mu Hanzhang busily called out to him, "it is better to keep this matter quiet."

Hao Da Dao pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "At least should let Zhao Meng they know, otherwise in the prestige of the military division is hindered." Thinking of that your personal snickering, and then this is afraid that it is not good, and then again, only he is a person to lose face how to do!

"That makes sense," Jing Shao hastened to agree, "Go tell a few of them, but the rest of them should not say anything."

When Hao Dazhou left, Mu Hanzhang only converged the smile on his face, turned to look at the complacent Jing Shao: "The purpose has been achieved, are you satisfied?"

Jing Shao blinked innocently, trying to muddle through.

"Isn't what you're doing these days just to let everyone know who I am?" Mu Hanzhang said in a humorless manner, "Why are you doing this?"

"Hmph, I still have to sneak around every day to hug my own princess, where in the world is such reasoning!" Jing Shao was originally a bit weak and pulled random reasons, but the more he said, the more he felt justified and gradually raised his head.

Mu Hanzhang sighed, turned around and put away the scattered dried meat so that the little tiger cub wouldn't be propped up, and said in a low voice, "Although this matter was tacitly approved by Father, the other people in the capital didn't know about it, and now that it will be told, I'm afraid that it will cause trouble."

Jing Shao followed and squatted down beside him, wrapping the man into his arms and kissing that glossy forehead, "I'm here, it'll be fine."

Hao Dabao clasped his fists and went, rushing straight into the Right Guard's tent, and sure enough, Zhao Meng was still there, and the Left Guard had also come. Yanked the torn cloth bag off his waist, took another one, and rattled the dried meat on the table into it.

"Hey, hey, that's my jerky, where's your own?" The Right Guard was busy going up to protect his pile.

"Eaten by the tiger cub." Hao Da Dao grunted and said.

"You really went to the military division?" Zhao Meng stared wide-eyed, this person is really bold, they are also private talk, he is good, directly go to question people, that kind of wisdom and courage of the military division, committed with the king must have no choice but to suffer, thinking about this, suddenly jumped up, "How are you so confused, this kind of talk out, you let the military division in the future in the army how to live with themselves?"

"That's right, this is too much nonsense for you!" The Right Guard loaded up his jerky on one side and counted Hao Dazhi on the other.

The Left Guard drank silently from a cup of hot tea, and seeing that the Right Guard couldn't hold it, handed him his own cloth bag as well.

"What do you guys know?" Hao Da Dao waved his hand and said angrily, "She's the explicitly married Princess Cheng!"

The lively military tent instantly fell silent, Zhao Meng, who was about to rush out to comfort the military division, stumbled, the dried meat in the right guard's hands clattered and fell all over the place, and only the left guard continued to drink tea silently.

"Ah!" The patrolling guards heard a scream in the right guard's tent and rushed over to inquire about it, only to be blasted out and continue patrolling in confusion.

"Finished, finished ......" Zhao Meng squatted on the ground and rubbed his beard vigorously, recalling what he had done since Mu Hanzhang entered the barracks, it was enough for the king to chop him into mush.

"It's fine, it's fine, aren't you just drinking with your arm around the princess? His Highness is generous and won't bother with you." The Right Guardian patted Zhao Meng's shoulder very unsympathetically.

Because of such a shocking news, several generals didn't dare to talk to the military division for several days.

Not to mention the nightly cock-ups in the barracks, the daytime siege never stops for a moment.

Cloud City terrain is forced, it is not easy to attack the city, every day in front of the door to call the battle, at first there are people to come to answer the battle, and then Hao Dazhou in a fit of rage beheaded the head of the general who answered the battle, no one dared to come out, only daily rely on bows and arrows and stones to prevent them from approaching.

After half a month of this stalemate, the arrows in Cloud City ran out. Because the people in the southwest were used to building houses with bamboo, the stone houses that could be demolished in the city were also demolished cleanly, and there were not many stones left that could be used for throwing.

Jing Shao ordered a forced attack on the city, the siege of the giant trees before and after the attack, the city of people trapped on the island for half a month do not see aid, has long been disillusioned, ultimately the enemy can not be 100,000 strong soldiers, borrowing the back door where the flaws, a breakthrough in the city gate. The army rushed in, Jing Shao made the army guard in the periphery, only with five thousand personal guards into the city, strictly ordered not to disturb the people.

All the way directly rushed into the southwest king's residence, the whole house can not be found in the southwest king's shadow, leaving only a cadre of concubines and a few unfavored commoner son, concentrated in the atrium crying and weeping.

"Grandpa left a few days ago with a few uncles." Jing Shao asked these people, none of them answered, only a small doll of about six or seven years old said coyly.

Mu Hanyang squatted down and asked him in a warm voice, only to realize that this is the first grandson of the Southwest King, the Southwest King should have left a secret passage in the house, and did not take this grandson with him when he fled in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Hao Da Dao stood the Mixed Sword in his hand on the ground with a bang.

"Search the secret passage, escort this child and those commoner sons back to the capital, a cadre of concubines are all dismissed, the army stays outside the city to rest, the pro-army recuperates in the Southwest King's Mansion, and wait for this king to ask for his father's instructions before making a decision." Jing Shao arranged methodically, Hao Da Dao led the order and went.

Mu Hanzhang stood in the atrium to observe this Southwest King's Mansion, the front yard is similar to the pavilions in Jiangnan, but the backyard is the bamboo buildings unique to Southwest, lined up one after another, very interesting.

"Let's go, let's go see what's good in this mansion." Seeing his interest, Jing Shao wanted to reach out and take him, but as he was wearing armor that was inconvenient, he took hold of a glistening hand and pulled him towards the Southwest King's main courtyard.

Southwest King's main courtyard is a common red columns glazed tiles, should be the founding of the construction, the main hall and Taizu's own inscription, written on the "loyalty and righteousness" two strong and powerful words.

The decorations in the room were all tilted to the side, which should have been messed up by those concubines who came back later to search for valuable things.

"I'm afraid that all the valuable things have been taken away." Mu Hanyang Zhang looked at a rosewood base on the table, on which some kind of carved jade ornament should have been placed before.

"That's not true," Jing Shao smiled mysteriously, "Most of the things that are really valuable can't be taken away." In his last life, he hadn't done a lot of raiding a few vassal king's mansions, so he naturally knew the subtleties of it, pulling his own princess towards the study of the Southwest King.
