"drive!!!"

Xiao Wuji swung his riding whip, slapped the horse's butt hard, and galloped wildly.

The horse's hooves trampled, dust flew up, and rolled up yellow sand.

Xiao Wuji and his five people quickly disappeared on the official road.

Yuezhou was already extremely close to the southern border. The border, but the city closest to the border is not Yuezhou City, but Black Eagle City.

Because Black Eagle City is built on the border, the place where Black Eagle City is located is the southernmost part of the Zhou Dynasty's territory.

In fact, in When the Shangguan clan was in power, Yuezhou was the southernmost part of the country.

Later, the Zhou Dynasty was established, and a mutual market was established with Nanliang. The two countries communicated with each other, and a city was established at the junction of the two countries.

As time passed, the city The city grew bigger and bigger, gradually turning into a small town, and then from a small town into a small city.

Later, the Great Zhou Dynasty went to war with Nanliang, and the Great Zhou Dynasty won, and directly included the small cities established in the mutual market into the territory, and the national border line An area was moved to the south.

Later, this small city was expanded many times and finally became today's Black Eagle City.

King Huainan led his troops to guard the southern border, and the palace was built in Black Eagle City.

This also shows that King Huainan The belief of never retreating in a fight to the death.

As long as Black Eagle City is not broken, the Nanliang army will never be able to enter the territory of the Great Zhou

Dynasty. And if Nanliang wants to invade the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must first kill all the Huainan palaces!

Because the Huainan King has been in ten years Guarding the southern border for one day allowed the people in the southern border to live a peaceful and happy life.

Therefore, King Huainan has a high prestige in the hearts of the people in the southern border.

The army and people in the southern border now only know the king of Huainan, but not the emperor.

Xiao Wuji heard that From time to time, the Qingliu officials in the court would stand up to impeach the Huainan King for supporting the army and asking the emperor to cut down the vassal and seize power, but Emperor Jingtai refused every time. Emperor Jingtai said that the Huainan King was his brother, and he believed in the Huainan King.

But Thinking about the real situation, Emperor Jingtai was not as reassured about King Huainan as he said. He was still very afraid of King Huainan.

A vassal king with 200,000 soldiers, no matter which dynasty, generation or emperor he was placed in , were not at ease.

Xiao Wuji and his party entered Black Eagle City, asked passers-by about the location of the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and headed directly towards the Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Wuji did not come here to be an enemy of the Huainan King. In addition, the Huainan King's His daughter was here too, so there was no need to hide his head and tail.

Xiao Wuji came to the gate of the palace and saw a magnificent palace standing in the center of the city.

There were two stone lions in front of the palace, with teeth and claws showing, extremely powerful and ferocious.

There were also two groups of soldiers in front of the door. Standing guard.

The soldier's waist is very straight, his left hand is on the handle of the knife, and his right hand is holding a spear. His eyes are staring straight ahead, unmoving, like a towering pine tree. The soldiers all have resolute faces and are not angry. Wei, at first glance, he looks like a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. As the saying goes, you can see the whole picture only by looking at a glimpse. Just from the temperament and appearance of the soldiers standing guard in front of the palace, it can be seen that the army of King Huainan must be well-trained and fierce soldiers.

And It can be seen from the awe of the soldiers passing by the people that King Huainan's army must be strictly disciplined.

Only an army that truly protects the people can gain the support of the people.

Xiao Wuji and others got off their horses and walked towards the palace.

The queue was at the outside The two soldiers immediately crossed their spears and stopped Xiao Wuji and his party.

"Stop, this is the Huainan Prince's Mansion, no one can get close to it."

A soldier shouted coldly:"Get back quickly, otherwise we have the right to kill you here."

Xiao Wuji stepped forward and said:"Excuse me, please tell me that Xiao Wuji, the thirteenth eunuch of the Jinyi Guards, wants to see you."

While speaking, Xiao Wuji handed over the token of the Thirteen Taibao

"The thirteen royal guards of Jinyiwei?"

(chbj) The soldier took the token and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he respectfully replied:"Master Qianhu, please wait a moment, and my subordinates will go and report to the prince immediately." Xiao Wuji said:"Remember to tell the King of Huainan that I am on this trip. He also brought the only daughter of His Royal Highness the King of Huainan, Princess Xinran"

"What? Princess Xinran!"

The soldier's expression changed when he heard this, and other soldiers in the queue also looked in the direction of Xiao Wuji.

Xia Xinran also took a step forward at this time and took out her jade pendant.

The royal jade pendant, with Xia Xinran's on it. There is no doubt about the name and identity!

The soldiers from the two groups immediately knelt down on one knee to salute and shouted in unison:"I see you, Princess Xinran, and may I wish you peace and prosperity." Xia

Xinran nodded slightly and said calmly:"Everyone, get up.""

"Thank you, Princess."

The soldiers stood up, and one of them quickly ran into the palace to report, while the other led Xiao Wuji and others into the palace.

Xia Xinran raised her chin and glanced at Xiao Wuji, as if to say,"You see, there is no princess like me. , you can’t even enter the palace."

That's true.

If it weren't for Xia Xinran, Xiao Wuji and his party would have to wait outside, waiting for King Huainan to summon him.

It's impossible to go in directly like now.

After entering the palace, Xia Xinran looked left and right, looking here and there, wondering what they were looking for. They were all curious.

Xiao Wuji smiled and said,"What? Your royal palace? You never came.

Xia Xinran lowered her head and said sadly:"I have indeed never been here.""

Xia Xinran was born in Jinling City and has never left Jinling City since she was born.

Although this palace is her home, she has never been here once.

Everything here is extremely strange to her.

The palace It was very big. Xiao Wuji and others were led by soldiers through the front yard, corridor, and moon gate.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the main hall of the palace, Xiao Wuji heard a woman's voice

"Xinran, where is Xinran?!!"

Xiao Wuji followed the voice and saw a graceful and beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes and a gold hairpin running over in a hurry, with red eyes.

When Xia Xinran saw the beautiful woman, her eyes were also red, and she immediately She called out"Mother", then rushed over, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Obviously, this beautiful woman was Princess Huainan.

Princess Huainan covered Xia Xinran's little face, tears flowed out of her eyes, and said:"I My daughter, my mother really misses you."

"I haven’t seen you in so many years. How are you?"

Immediately, I looked around Xia Xinran with red eyes, fearing that something was wrong with Xia Xinran.

Xia Xinran just cried and said:"Don't worry, mother, everything is fine with my daughter."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and reminisced about the past. Xiao Wuji looked behind Princess Huainan, where there was a burly man walking slowly.

The man looked about forty years old, wearing a four-clawed python robe, following her step by step, with thick eyebrows. He had eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square-shaped face with a rather weathered look.

When he looked around, his eyes were sharp and powerful, and the aura of a superior person came to his face. Xiao Wuji knew that this person was Xia Yuanxiang, the king of Huainan.

Although Xia Yuanxiang looks only about forty years old on the outside, in fact he is already over fifty years old. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because Xia Yuanxiang has profound inner strength, he maintains his appearance very well. Okay.

In fact, Emperor Jingtai is only seven years older than Xia Yuanxiang, but Emperor Jingtai looks much older than Xia Yuanxiang

"Okay, how is it appropriate to cry in front of outsiders?"

Xia Yuanxiang walked to the princess and Xia Xinran, coughed twice and said

"It's all your fault."

Princess Huainan hit King Huainan and scolded:"If you weren't so cruel and kept Xinran in Jinling City, I wouldn't have been unable to see my daughter for many years."

"Look at her, she has lost weight and has no fat on her body. She has suffered so many grievances over the years?"

As she spoke, Princess Huainan's eyes turned red again, and tears were about to fall again.

Xia Xinran quickly comforted her,"Don't worry, mother, my daughter is fine and she has not been wronged.

King Huainan said helplessly:"I will happily stay in Jinling City. It is for her good and to protect her.""

"Is it possible that you want Xinran to go to the battlefield like her eldest and second brother?"

"you dare!"

When she heard that she was going to the battlefield, the princess became furious like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and cursed:"If you dare to let my daughter go to the battlefield, I will never spare you. After saying that , she took Xia Xinran and left,"Come on, Xinran, go back to the house with your mother, and let her take a good look at you.""

Watching the two people leaving, King Huainan covered his forehead with a look of helplessness.

The majestic aura just now disappeared instantly.

Even Xiao Wuji did not expect that this King Huainan turned out to be a prince who was afraid of his wife.

At this time, King Huainan finally paid attention. When Xiao Wuji and others stood aside, they pretended to cough a few times, straightened their backs, and said calmly:"Are you the thirteenth Taibao of Jin Yiwei, Xiao Wuji?"

Xiao Wuji cupped his fists and saluted, and said neither humble nor arrogantly:"Xiao Wuji, the thirteenth Taibao of the Jinyi Guards, has met the King of Huainan. Xue

Hua and Song Limin behind him also saluted respectfully.

King Huainan glanced at Xiao Wuji and said calmly:"Everyone, please get up. There is no need to be more polite.""

While he was talking, King Huainan walked towards the main hall, followed closely by Xiao Wuji and the others.

King Huainan sat down at the main seat and said,"Everyone, sit down, don't be so formal."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Wuji said and sat down on the guest chair.

Xue Hua and Song Limin stood behind Xiao Wuji.

Xiao Wuji could sit, but they didn't dare to sit.

King Huainan looked at Xiao Wuji and said:"Your name is my king. I have heard it for a long time. I heard that you are the number one genius of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the title of the emperor's brother? Xiao

Wuji's face remained unchanged and he said calmly:"I am ashamed to be called the number one genius in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is His Majesty the Emperor who praised me unreasonably." The king of Huainan laughed and said:"If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. What is there to praise or not to praise?""

"Just tell me, are you the Xiao Wuji mentioned in the rumors?

Xiao Wuji nodded and said,"Yes!""

The King of Huainan nodded with satisfaction,"That's right, since it's you, what's there to be modest about?"

"In my opinion, pretending to be humble is hypocrisy. You are a military commander, so don't be like those civil servants in the court who talk about benevolence, justice and morality. In fact, each one is more hypocritical than the other."

There was a sense of resentment in these words. It was obvious that King Huainan had long been dissatisfied with the impeachment of the civil servants in the court.

This also proved that King Huainan also had spies in Jinling. Otherwise, how would he know the situation in Jinling City?

Xiao Wuji was filled with confusion. He was stunned. He didn't know whether King Huainan was testing him? Or trying to scare him. He smiled and said,"Your Majesty is right. I'll keep it in mind.""

"Um."

The King of Huainan nodded, took a sip of tea from the cup, and said,"Okay, we're done with the gossip, it's time to talk about business."

"You traveled thousands of miles from Jinling to the southern border. You must have a mission, right?"

"Tell me, if you need any help from me, just ask."

"Seeing that you have safely delivered Xinran to the palace, I can promise you anything.

Xiao Wuji said:"Prince Haihan, then I will get straight to the point.""

"Jinyiwei found out that there was a group of bandits entrenched in Yuezhou, and the official came here to suppress the bandits."

"But Xiaguan's side is short of manpower, so I want to borrow troops from the prince to suppress the bandits. I hope the prince can agree."
