Even though the fourth prince is arrogant, but since childhood also did not read a lot of military books, now by the king of Huainan pressure to play, there is no room to fight back, see the king of Huainan's means. Crisis at the head, everyone knows that only King Cheng can fight against it, so the whole courtroom is the voice of King Cheng to go to war.

"Pass on my decree, with the fourth prince Jing Yu immediately hand over military power to the Jiangnan general Lu Zhanpeng, Cheng King Jing Shao with his own troops to go out to conquer Huainan!" Emperor Hongzheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and issued a series of decrees, asking Lu Zhanpeng to make sure to hold Pingjiang City before Jing Shao rushed there, and by the way, he recalled the fourth prince to let him return to the capital immediately, do not disgrace himself in front of the king of Huainan.

Jing Shao received the decree just hooked lips a smile, let more Fu will immediately prepare Mu Huanzhang carriage, packing two people's traveling clothes, and let Hao Dazhou first go to Qixian, with troops to the south of the city standby.

When Mu Hanyang came back, he saw Jing Shao, who was already fully loaded and ready to go, and the properly packed carriage.

"Woohoo!" Of course, there was also Little Yellow in the wagon who was self-consciously going to follow.

"What's the point of bringing a tiger?" Mu Hanzhang looked at the tiger lying horizontally on the jade mat pretending to be a blanket, and couldn't help the corner of his mouth twitching. Although Jing Shao had an appointment with Gu Huaiqing, this battle was just for show, taking him to Jiangnan could be said to be on the way, what was the point of bringing a tiger?

"I heard that the King of Huainan has a lion that is ferocious and fierce, and I am afraid that this king will not be able to restrain it, so I brought along a fierce tiger to press the battlefield." Jing Shao said in a serious manner.

Mighty tiger? Mu Hanzhang reached out and poked the head of the hairy tiger, the tiger immediately turned out the white fluffy belly, tilted his head to look at him. Counting on this guy to press the line, it is estimated that the whole army can only be destroyed ......

Mu Hanyang only had to go to the palace again to explain himself and Jing Shao by the way to the south of the matter, this sea business is just to try to send not many officials, have gone to the south of the river first, so Mu Hanyang on a person. Hongzheng Emperor did not say anything, think this weak daughter-in-law followed Jing Shao will not have to send another person to protect him, but also worry.

Because of the tension of the war, there was not even an emperor to see him off, Jing Shao ran directly to the camp in the south of the city and left with his soldiers.

The imperial decree in the capital was sent to Jiangnan in an eight hundred mile expedited manner, and reached the fourth prince in less than three days, and when Jing Shao rushed to Jiangnan, the fourth prince had already left in ashes, and Lu Zhanpeng was personally in front of the front to defend against the attack of the Huainan soldiers.

"You're finally here." Lu Zhanpeng gulped a mouthful of tea before he was able to slow down.

Jing Shao looked at Halted Bird's bearded appearance and couldn't help but mock him, "Why are you like Jing Yu, a King of Huainan beat the crap out of you?"

"You're the one who's like Jing Yu!" Lu Zhanpeng gave him a blank look, "You don't even know how incompetent that kid is and how many troops he's lost! When I took over this mess, the King of Huainan's siege logs were already under the city gates!" Thinking about the scene at that time still gave him palpitations.

Mu Hanyang Zhang with a small yellow in the mansion around the circle, this mansion is Lu Zhanpeng help to buy a new house, completely Jiangnan scenery, five steps a scene ten steps a pavilion, bridges, pavilions, pavilions, bamboo forests and flowers, layers only to see people dazzled.

Little Yellow has his eye on the large garden with the bamboo grove, and pounces on it to take it for himself, frightening the underlings in the garden with screams of terror.

After chasing away the chattering Lu Zhanpeng, Jing Shao wandered into the garden to look for his own princess, and saw gurgling water circling the wooden water pavilion, a green-clothed beauty casually leaning against the railing quietly reading a book, and the black-and-yellow tiger crouching at his feet, hugging a section of his calf as he slept soundly. The setting sun reflected on that handsome side face, looking serene and beautiful.

Jing Shao slowly walked over, the wooden water parlor polished smooth and flat, there is no seat, the ground scattered with a few soft cushions and a short table. Closer to realize that the princess even barefoot sitting on the ground, a white tender feet stepped on the belly of the small yellow, soft hair will be submerged feet, lining that several rounded toes show a few points of light pink.

"How is the war going outside?" Mu Hanzhang saw him come over and put down the book in his hands.

"It's getting late, the Huainan Army has gone back for dinner." Jing Shao said without much care.

"Heron Island is only thirty miles from Pingjiang, I'll go over early tomorrow morning and be back by evening." Mu Hanzhang moved his calves, which had been warmed by the tiger to the point of sweating, away, and was immediately grabbed by Jing Shao and pulled to his own side.

"No, wait two more days, I'll accompany you when I drive Gu Huaiqing back ten miles." Jing Shao looked at the feet in his hands with interest, grabbing a softly sleeping furry paw and lightly scratching at the soft soles.

Mu Hanzhang shrank back in fear of the itch, "There are officials sent by Father Huang in Lujiao, won't you be recognized by people if you go there?"

"I pretend to be a boy to go with you to see a day, turn around and let them move their affairs to Pingjiang," Jing Shao had planned this long ago, "this mansion's front yard is still empty, just for you to make as a government office."

"But ...... ah ......," Mu Hanzhang was still trying to retort, when Jing Shao carried him on his shoulders.

"It's getting late, isn't it time for Marquis Wen Yuan to fulfill her duties as the Consort of King Cheng?" Jing Shao held down the man struggling to go down and slapped him on the ass.

The next day, Jing Shao repeatedly explained that Mu Hanzhang was not allowed to go to Lujiao, and rode Xiao Hei to the front of the battle himself.

With nothing else to do, Mu Hanzhang took out a pamphlet to read. This is when he was going to write the constitution of the sea merchant and let Ge Ruoyi write it, Ge family has been doing sea business for generations, and naturally knows a lot about the ways and means of it. Originally thought to bring Ge Ruoyi also, but scale child is still small, and the North Marquis House is not peaceful, only to keep her there.

Not long after, I heard the subordinates come to report that someone was seeking to see Marquis Wen Yuan.

"Do you know who the visitor is?" Mu Hanzhang frowned, he didn't know many people in Jiangnan.

"That man claimed to be the governor of Heron Island." The subordinate answered honestly.

The Governor of Luju? How can a small governor be so well-informed? Mu Hanzhang got up, "Tell him to wait in the main hall."

When Mu Hanzhang changed his clothes and went to the main hall to see the so-called governor of Lushu, he couldn't help but freeze on the spot, "Brother Zhaoran!"

The person is not someone else, it is this year's new scholar Qin Zhaoran, since the Qionglin Banquet on the see that time, Mu Huanzhang has not seen him, I heard that he asked to do the parents of the official, did not expect to do the Lushu governor.

Qin Zhaoran looked at him steadily for a moment before he came back to his senses, hiding the bitterness in his eyes and bowing, "My humble servant has seen Marquis Wen Yuan."
