Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

He seemed to be escaping.

Xia Shi: “…” It seems that I have to give the boss a psychological test.

Strange behavior is always confusing. What if it develops to the point where people can't understand what he says and he wants to die like the leader? If you don't look at it well, you're doomed.

While waiting for someone, she told Lei Huo: "Go test the boss's psychology."

Lei Huo: "The Fifth Law of Robotics: You may not collect, test, compute, study, or communicate human emotions."

Xia Shi: "Okay, I'll do it myself, you go protect the boss, he's by your side recently."

Leihuo: "Master, Leihuo's first law is to protect your safety."

Xia Shi: “Turn around!”

Leihuo: "Yes, Master!"

Xia Shi raised her hand, and the pendant on her chest sparkled, spreading along her arm to her hand. Her slender fingers pressed down on Lei Huo's back with force like thunder, and Lei Huo's eyes suddenly became dim.

After quickly inputting the command, she sighed: "...Why are you always disobedient? You should listen to me. I spent so much money to buy you!"

"The mine is very important. This is the first time that I, your master, have undertaken a project on my own. I must make the transaction a success."

"How could I not care about my own safety? Don't worry."

"Lower the security level. You don't have to come back until your armor is broken!"

Leihuo: "Yes, Master!"

……

Because Huai'an had already been taken, once Prince Junze's army arrived, everything became peaceful, with even the occasional minor conflicts no longer taking place.

The governor of Huaizhou took over the seal again and went to the crown prince to present his position. All the generals who had made contributions in the Huai'an incident were rewarded; those who participated in the rebellion were arrested according to the law; the old case of the Chen family from more than ten years ago was also opened for detailed investigation; the vacancies in the prefecture were also transferred in an orderly manner; the guards of various passes were smoothly rotated; the ordinary people among the tens of thousands of private soldiers in the mountains returned home, the elite were reorganized, and Chen Yulian's minions were arrested; the trade routes in Huai'an were opened, merchants and people traded normally, and the prices of grain and medicinal materials began to return to normal. Qianli took over the Huai'an army, and Miss Xia was promoted to the second rank...

The only thing that has not changed is the Huai'an Palace.

The palace was really in decline.

Chen Yulian's biggest crime was treason, so his house was searched thoroughly.

The Chen family's plaque was taken down, and the plaque of the prince's palace had not been hung up yet. Chen Yulian's minions had been arrested long ago, and the old people in the prince's palace had been eliminated by Chen Yulian long ago, so there was no one else in the palace except a few scattered cleaning servants and the elite soldiers sent by Kuishan to guard the place.

In the dark bedroom, there was only the old King Huaian.

Winter is cold.

It's been particularly cold these days.

The priceless glass mirrors on the doors and windows are covered with crystal frost.

The brazier in the house had been extinguished long ago, but at least there was still the fox fur under him and the brocade quilt on his body. In this damp and cold winter day, he felt a rare bit of warmth.

I just slept for a night, but my feet are still cold.

But after so many years, he had been imprisoned in the dungeon for half his life, and it was only today that he finally had a good sleep.

However, his dream was extremely uneasy, as he dreamed of many old friends.

The sighs of the past decades seem like they were all just yesterday.

Prince Huai'an sat up, put on much larger clothes, walked out barefoot and pushed open the door.

The wind and snow outside immediately rushed in, hitting people's faces and making them feel refreshed.

Several decades ago, Lord Liu, the internal historian of the palace, once knelt in front of this door and advised Chen Yulian that she was not a good match.

More than 20 years ago, the guest official Mr. Yu angrily asked why Princess Rong'an was allowed to interfere in Huai'an's political affairs. If she really had talent and wanted to take the examination for a female official, it would be fine, but she intervened in a murder case with solid evidence right away. That was the murder case of more than a hundred people. Your Majesty, colluding with bandits is a capital crime.

More than a decade ago, Commander Li once asked him, "Your Majesty, are you really going to favor a sycophant? Let him take over my position?"

Does he really know nothing?

He is the king of Huai'an,

He once controlled the entire Huai'an and suppressed the Huaizhou governors several times without any resistance. He now controlled the entire Huai'an in his hands.

It's his selfishness.

Headstrong,

Favor,

Pushing myself step by step into the abyss,

He was just an actor. As long as she liked him, please be kind to me. I never thought that my daughter would have such vision. It's just a young boy. So what if he is under my command? Can he turn the world upside down? Later, the prince dared to contradict me. I used him to check and balance him. It was just a convenient thing. There is no absolutely good minister in the world. They are all under the control of King Huai'an. Until the end, it was a disaster!

The fault is his.

Without his connivance, there would be no such thing today.

Most of the old friends in the palace were dead, and there were no descendants. How could he still have the nerve to live?

He should have died long ago.

How many days can you sustain your life by relying on miracle medicine?

He took out the porcelain bottle containing medicine and shouted, "Someone come!"

"Give this thing back!"

……

When he received the medicine bottle, Lou Junze was reviewing memorials.

Huai'an was newly settled, and there were many things to do, so the memorials piled up like a pile.

It was midnight, past the hour of the rat, but Lou Junze had not yet left his desk. He held a wolf-hair brush dipped in cinnabar and drew circles and dots on the criminal case documents.

After working for half the night, the number of documents on the case did not decrease at all, but continued to increase with the reports from people below.

"Master, it's time to take a rest. There will be a party at dawn tomorrow." Yun Kai advised.

Lou Junze put down his pen, but did not rest. Instead, he picked up the map on the side of the table.

This map is colorful and neatly organized. It was made for herself when she was still in Xishui Village.

The various colors above mark the areas, and the movements of each state are clear.

Lou Junze looked at it inch by inch countless times, thinking of the mine and the fuel she would need to get home.

The year is coming to an end.

Half a year has passed in a hurry.

They only took back the northern border and Huai'an.

Yanyun, Zhongzhou, Kyoto, Southern Region, and West Sea, these account for at least 70%.

Lou Junze's brows knitted tightly together.

I can't wait any longer.

Her fuel to return home, his blood feud, neither of them can wait.

"Repay...!"

There was another voice reporting from outside, and Yun Kai immediately went out to stop him: "Your Highness has gone to bed, if you have anything to say, please call back tomorrow..."

Lou Junze: "It's okay, let someone in!"

"Yes!"

The man was a young general who had just been promoted. He was responsible for guarding the Huai'an Prince's Mansion to prevent any chaos. He presented the medicine bottle and reported: "Your Highness, today the Huai'an Prince sent back the life-saving medicine. We presented it to Miss Xia, and she said that since she had already taken it out and had received the money for the medicine, she would not take it back. This medicine is presented to Your Highness, please make your decision."

"In that case!" Lou Junze lowered his eyes and looked at the document, without raising his head, he said: "Take it to the army and give it to the military doctor to treat the brothers!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" The young general lowered his head and walked out.

"Wait a moment!"

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Lou Junze raised his head and said in a voice that did not distinguish between joy and anger: "You also went to reply to her at this time just now?"

"Who?" The young general was very puzzled.

Lou Junze said: "Xia Shi, Lord Xia, a second-rank official in this palace!"

"Yes, the little one was just brought back."

Lou Junze said coldly: "From today on, no one is allowed to disturb her when she is resting. Just report to the gatehouse."

She never liked being disturbed, especially in the middle of the night.

I don’t know how many thrilling things she has experienced during these days in Huai’an, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night.

"what?????"

The young general had a question mark on his forehead. Didn't His Highness tell him that there were many things going on here and it was a critical time, so he could come in as long as the lights were on? Why couldn't Miss Xia... Lord Xia be disturbed?

The young man who was just promoted did not understand the importance of Miss Xia in the heart of his own Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He just thought that if the Crown Prince could work overtime, then everyone could work overtime, so why couldn't Miss Xia work overtime?

However, His Highness is wise and powerful, and everything he orders must be correct.

"Yes, I understand!"

After the young general left, Lou Junze picked up the documents on the table again and worked until the cockcrowed.

Yun Kai was no longer the ignorant boy he was at the beginning. After spending these days with his own prince, he began to understand him a little. He carefully advised:

"Your Highness, Lord Xia said that he would help you heal your wounds these days. Staying up late every day may be bad for your wounds."

This time, Lou Junze put down the documents in his hand and stood up smoothly.

He is not a man without plans, but he is very busy with his official duties.

"Go back all!"

"Yes!"

Yunkai led a group of people to retreat outside the door and closed it considerately. Lou Junze turned around, walked to the window and looked at the night view outside.

The south wind came out of the shadows,

This shadow that has followed him all his life is like another self of his.

"Your Highness, the thunder and fire are coming!"

Lou Junze turned around and saw Lei Huo who had been standing next to Nanfeng in the shadow.

He was surprised and asked, "Leihuo, why are you here?"

Leihuo is her mecha. He knows that this mecha has never left her side. In addition to ensuring safety, it also helps her sort out the trivial matters in life, just like her right-hand man. How come it is by his side now?

Leihuo: "Boss, the master asked Leihuo to protect your safety."

Kyoto,

Fan Yuntai,

This is the most important pass in defending Kyoto.
