The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

The father and son sat opposite each other at the desk.

A parchment scroll was unfolded on the table, revealing a map of the outer regions of the South.

The mountains and rivers are crisscrossed, the hills and gullies are densely covered with swamps, and tribes of all sizes live there.

The Eagle Tribe, which gives Da Rui the most headaches, is located in the upper right corner of the map, occupying a vast area.

"The Eagle Tribe now has 80,000 soldiers and horses. Given their hostility towards Da Rui over the years, if they are not eliminated, they will become a serious threat in the future." Emperor Hong Jing pointed at the location of the Eagle Tribe with his fingertips, frowning.

He devoted his life to the country and the people, and worked hard to govern the country and the people.

Since the Eagle Tribe has become a major threat, there is no need to think of any other solutions but to eliminate it.

"The Eagle Tribe's hostility towards our dynasty is too obvious. The strange thing is that they seem to be ruthless everywhere, but in fact they are kind behind the scenes... If we can know the reason behind it and solve this problem from the source, we may be able to stop the war."

Yan Changqing's eyes fell on where Hong Jing's finger was pointing, and he said, "Father, I want to go to the outer realm in person to meet this Eagle Lord."

"No!" Emperor Hong Jing refused without a second thought. "Dari has sent envoys to negotiate for peace over the past three years, but they didn't even meet us and just tortured us and threw us back! You are my Crown Prince Dari. If you go there in person with your status, you might even lose your life. How can I explain this to your mother and the people who love you!"

Yan Changqing laughed, and after a moment he said seriously, "Father, your Majesty has always supported and trusted me in everything I have done. Please support me again this time. It is not easy to kill me. Father, you forgot that I have a secret treasure given to me by Bai Xiang."

He patted the jade gourd at his waist and stopped himself from walking.

The corners of Emperor Hong Jing's mouth twitched immediately.

Over the years, the little girl from the Lin family has inherited all the true teachings of the ancestors of Medicine Valley, and her medical skills and pharmaceutical making achievements are so great that the entire Imperial Hospital combined are no match for her.

The jade gourd given to Qing'er is not an ordinary item.

There is a life-saving elixir in the gourd. As long as there is still a breath left, taking the elixir can keep you alive for at least half a month, which is enough time to wait for rescue.

In addition, if the jade gourd is smashed, it will immediately release poisonous gas, which can make a tiger faint if it smells it.

So the jade gourd has another strange name, called Tiger Crazy.

No need to guess who came up with this name.

It must be the only child of the Jin family.

Emperor Hong Jing coughed and looked away. "Forget it. You have always been a righteous person. Once you decide on something, you must complete it. I agree, but you must bring the Dragon Guards with you."

He waved his hand to drive away his son who had big ideas, "I will write to General Xiao right away... After all, he is the one I trust the most."

Yan Changqing looked at his father's uncomfortable expression, suppressed his laughter and retreated.

There is no other reason.

There were two jade gourds given to Bai Xiang at the beginning.

One for him and one for Doctor Yu.

At first, my father refused to believe that a jade gourd could have such great power. He snatched the gourd from Yu Heng's hand and ordered the commander of the imperial guards to smash it to pieces.

As a result, the commander of the imperial guards slept for three days before waking up.

The five hundred guards present at the time also fell asleep.

My father survived thanks to his cleverness. He was standing twenty feet away from the place where the throwing took place. When he saw the first person fall, he ran away immediately.

His heroic figure while running made his mother laugh for several years.

Walking out of the imperial study, you will see the Shibu Pavilion in front of you.

In the pavilion, four young men in brocade clothes were either sitting or standing, looking anxious.

Seeing Yan Changqing coming out, the four young men's eyes immediately lit up and rushed over to surround him, "Royal brother! Have you mentioned this to father? Do you really want to go to the outer realm in person?"

"The Outer Lands are not our territory, and the Eagle Tribe is extremely hostile to Da Rui. My Royal Brother, I do not approve of you taking the risk yourself!"

"If you really want to go, take me with you! I have listened to my brother and practiced martial arts well in the past ten years. I will protect my brother till death!"

"Take me with you too! Brother, I have been the top rider in horse riding classes for many years. It will be useful if you take me with you!"

Looking at the four younger brothers who had grown up, Yan Changqing raised his lips slightly and tapped their heads one by one like he did when they were children. "I have my own arrangements for this trip. You stay in Changjing. When I'm not around, you need to share your father's worries. This is the best support you can give me."

"Brother Emperor!"

"Now you are all princes of my Darui, each of you has made achievements, each of you is in charge of different government affairs, and you can't leave. Well, don't argue, when I come back, I will drink tea with you and talk about the scenery of the foreign land."

"..."

Knowing that their brother would certainly raise the matter with the Empress and Duke Lan, they did not dare to interfere and could only watch their brother walk away.

Yan Le turned around and went back to the pavilion and sat down, saying with a fierce look, "That Eagle Tribe, the Eagle Lord, better not fall into my hands in the future! Otherwise, I will give him a skin!"

"My royal brother is very resourceful. This trip will surely go smoothly. As he said, if we stay in Changjing and do our part well, it will be the best support for him." Yan Yu frowned.

In the past ten years, my brother has been assisting my father in handling government affairs while looking for famous teachers to train them.

During this period, rumors were circulated in the court many times, and some ministers even privately advised the emperor that cultivating them would be like raising a tiger to harm himself, and he should be careful of being bitten back in the future.

But the emperor never believed it, and even the queen mother, whom they feared the most, took a laissez-faire attitude and turned a blind eye to it.

Otherwise, they might not be able to become true princes, nor would they be able to hold real power.

The important affairs of the court that they are in charge of now were all obtained by the emperor's brother from his father based on their abilities.

Yan Xian was the oldest among the four, and also the most calm and alert. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "It will probably take some time for my brother to prepare for his trip... Yan He, you are in charge of the water transport in Kyoto, and you usually have the most frequent correspondence with Duobao. Ask him to help find a few secret agents outside the territory to investigate and keep a close eye on the movements of the Eagle Tribe. Maybe he can help my brother in an emergency."

Yan He nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll send him a message right away!"

Expedition to the Bo Mansion.

The gate looks more dilapidated than it was ten years ago.

The cracks in the stone steps of the gate were covered with moss, and on the steps were scattered dead leaves that had floated from somewhere. When the wind blew, they moved an inch along the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

The heavy door of Yuanzhengbo's mansion was tightly closed, and no one knew how long the owner had been away from home.

No one paid much attention.

In the backyard, there were frequent and severe coughing sounds.

Yuanzheng Bo leaned on the support column beside him and coughed out the phlegm, then he raised his head with a hoarse breath.

He has a head of silver hair and looks very old, with most of his energy and spirit gone.

"My Lord, Yan Changqing went to the imperial study to discuss matters. He has decided to go to the foreign land in person. It's time." Behind him, the man in black came to report.

Upon hearing this, Yuanzheng Bo shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "Ha, ha, good, it is indeed time. I have waited for so many years, and finally I have seen the result in my lifetime! Tell Huai'er that since he has come to me to seek death, don't let him come back."

The man in black hesitated for a moment, not quite sure, "My Lord, the Second Prince has hardly ever responded to our messages over the years. He only listens to our suggestions once or twice out of ten, and he is not completely under our control. If we ask him to kill Yan Changqing this time, he may not do it."
