The little girl's eyes sparkled: "I'm not afraid. It's no big deal. It's not as powerful as daddy's martial arts arena. My daddy is very powerful. It's a pity... Alas..." She thought of something and looked sad, her little face wrinkled.

Lou Junji: "Oh? Your father is so powerful? Why haven't I heard of him? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not lying. My father is so good at wielding a 80-jin halberd that he takes me on the most powerful horse and wears the most beautiful armor. He is almost as good as my grandfather. My mother said that my father is the most handsome general in the world." The little girl said proudly.

Lou Junze: "I haven't heard of him. I wonder if he is some unknown person."

Little girl: "No, my father has a name."

Lou Junze: "What's his name?"

The little girl: "His name is..." She paused and turned her head away, "I won't tell you. My mother said that those who chase me and ask for my father's name are bad people who want to kill me."

“Bad guy, hahahahaha…” Lou Junji didn’t get angry but laughed instead: “What a smart girl.

He had asked her many times about her life experience, not for exploration or out of curiosity, but because he didn't know how long he could live.

He is just a puppet. He will probably live until he is no longer useful. The day when Kyoto falls will be the day of his death.

Before that, only if her family can be found can the child have a chance to survive.

Lou Junji gently tucked the quilt in for her and said, "Go to sleep!"

"Big brother, I want to hear a bedtime story."

"Okay, then I'll tell you about my childhood."

"Okay!"

"When my brother was young, he had a friend. We grew up together, studied together, practiced martial arts together, and dreamed together about what kind of world we would rule in the future. I loved candied peach blossom cakes the most, but unfortunately I didn't have any. A prince cannot have cavities, so no one dared to secretly give them to me. He was the only one who always saved his own desserts and brought them to me through the window at night. He would also help me drink those annoying tonic soups and throw away those annoying homework. He was the only one who dared to contradict the Grand Tutor, and he contradicted the Grand Tutor for me..."

"Then you must be best friends!"

"No, I lied to him... Hush!" Lou Junji suddenly heard the curtain shaking slightly. He signaled for silence and looked towards the door. A figure had already walked in.

Yue Chimu reached out to extinguish the candle, knelt down and pleaded softly: "Your Highness, I am late in saving you."

Lou Junji: "It's not too late at all."

He knew who he was, the most powerful eunuch in the palace, a favored traitor in both the previous and current dynasties, a man who had killed his father with his own hands. It was really surprising that he could appear here.

"I am extremely surprised that you can come to save me."

Yue Chimu knew that he didn't trust him, and now was not the time to talk nonsense, so he said directly:

"Your Highness, the Mu family is helping you to restore your country on the surface, but secretly they are treating you as a puppet. They want to kill you. The Queen has ordered that you follow me now, to the ends of the earth, hiding your identity, at least to save your life..."

"Survive? Hahahahahahahaha..." Lou Junji laughed, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world: "Survive? Do you think I can still ask for a life? Can I still live in peace and contentment?"

"..."

"How many people are left in the Lou family? How many people are still alive in the Lou family? All the souls of the Lou family are buried underground. How can I survive? How can I escape with a clear conscience? I just want to be a walking corpse? Huh? What do you think?"

“……” Yue Chimu was speechless.

Lou Junji: "Oh, by the way, how could I forget that you are just a dog of the Yue family, a lackey of the Prime Minister of Yue."

Yue Chimu originally had no name, but when the imperial concubine entered the palace after being purified, the prime minister gave him the surname Yue and the given name Chimu. From then on, he lived and died for the imperial concubine.

Now that he was being scolded by the imperial concubine's only son, he felt his face turning blue and white and burning with pain.

But for the Imperial Concubine's wish, he could only say: "Your Highness, do you still want to take back the Lou family's kingdom? If you don't leave, you will die sooner or later."

Lou Junji: "Do you think this prince doesn't know?"

He was in charge of the central army. Although he was a puppet and had no power to issue orders, he still heard the news truthfully.

When he heard the man in front of the battle line beating the drum and reading the forged edict, he knew that he must be a puppet.

He scolded the people so many times and told them to leave, but they didn't leave. What else could he be if not a puppet?

"You go."

He has no regrets.

He is willing to be a puppet. As long as he can get revenge, as long as he can kill the enemy and all the members of the Yue family, he is willing to be a puppet for anyone.

Yue Chimu: "Your Highness, you..."

Lou Junji: "Come here, protect the emperor!"

He shouted loudly, and the guards outside immediately filed in and began to capture Yue Chimu...

……

"La la la, la la la, it's holiday time."

Congratulations on getting ten and a half days of vacation, including half a day of paid vacation.

Did the boss change his character? Did the boss have a change of heart? Did his conscience come to his head? He gave her such a simple task.

Qianli is Lou Junze's confidant, his eyes, and his most trusted confidant.

Qianli has a characteristic, that is, he will report everything he knows to his boss, no matter how big or small.

Qianli had followed her to rescue people at the dock, and had also met the little princess with Lou Junze, so the boss must have known that the little princess who had just returned to the mansion was the girl he had rescued, and that he knew the little princess of the palace.

So when the boss asks you to mediate, it is the easiest job for you and it is also like giving yourself half a day off for free.

Xia Shi sent a message to Lou Junze saying that he had something to ask, then packed his bags and set off on horseback with Xi Yan.

Before leaving, send the servants in the yard to the workshop.

The army set out five days later. The left vanguard headed straight for Yanyun, the right vanguard went to Zhongzhou to provide disaster relief and comfort the people, and the prince sat in charge of the central army, moving behind to take Kyoto.

That is to say, she had to report to the central army after her vacation and start working on the way to the battle.

I will probably never come back to Huai'an.

Finding a job for the maids and cooks was a way out, and all of them had their slave status torn off and replaced with living contracts. From then on, they were all free people.

Nowadays, the shops in Xishui Village are very prosperous. They have followed the army to Huai'an. When Xia Shi arrived at the shop, Aunt Li was busy collecting money.

As soon as she saw Xia Shi, she came out to greet him, and said hurriedly: "Oh my girl, I finally get to meet you. You are a big shot now. I didn't expect that the village chief's distant relative is the prince. The village chief is really good at hiding things. When we heard about it, our hearts almost jumped out of our throats. I even sent my pickled radish to the prince, and I don't know if he choked. If I had known earlier, I would definitely send an old hen instead of pickles... You have been promoted now, and your official position is not small. It is getting harder and harder to meet you..."

"Don't worry, Madam. His Highness loves to eat pickles. He said salt is a precious commodity. He is grateful that you can give him pickles. He also wants to see me more simply. He will go directly to Xiyan in the future. However, I am moving. The shopkeeper sends account books every month. You can ask him to send a message."

"Auntie wouldn't come to you if there was nothing wrong. This time I have something to give you."

"what?"

"I finally made the thing that the girl asked me to make." After saying that, the old lady hurried back to the store, took out a box from behind the counter, and stuffed it into Xia Shi's arms with her sleeve. She leaned close to Xia Shi's ear and whispered:

"It's that, ahem, the one used, as the girl said, it's soft, white, and very easy to use."

"Oh~ Xia Shi understood.

People in Dongzhou are reserved and will not talk about toilet-related matters on the street, especially in front of girls, so the old lady tried to cover it up like this.

Xia Shi had been in Dongzhou for more than half a year and had adapted to the local customs, so he didn't see her on the street anymore. He just took the baby in his arms.

not far away,

An inconspicuous street vendor silently took note of all this, lowered his head and quickly retreated into the crowd.

……

Outside Huai'an City, in a hidden hunter's hut in the mountains, the injured Chi Hao had a gloomy face.

"I didn't expect the black-robed man to be so powerful that he could even identify poison, poison needles, and poison gas."

Although these masters from Kyoto were not as good as Gu's army in martial arts and failed to kill Lou Junze in several assassination attempts, they had masters who were tempered in the palace. They could not win in a fight, but they were all masters of poisoning.

However, the poison was easily neutralized by the man in black robe several times.

"The fish fed with the strange poison had just been sold to his house. Before the fish was delivered to the kitchen, it was thrown away by the black-robed man. The experts waited on the roadside for two days and finally waited for Lou Junze to come out of the government office. The poisoned needle had not yet been blown out of the bamboo tube before it was kicked over by the black-robed man, resulting in the loss of countless manpower. Even the bowl of rice next to the stall where Lou Junze sat across the alley was found by the black-robed man and forcibly thrown to the farmer's house. When Lou Junze walked through a street, he would take out a rotten peanut from the basket of the old woman selling peanuts on the street and throw it away, saying that it was moldy and poisonous..."

"This is simply... How can this assassination be carried out?"

He now began to believe the bizarre things said by the former Black Armor Commander. He had seen them with his own eyes these days, and every single thing was true.

Chi Hao summarized the incident profoundly: "As long as the man in black robes is there, it will be impossible to kill Lou Junze."

He really has capable people to help him.

He really had no way out. If Lou Junze really entered the capital, all of them who were conspiring to rebel would be executed along with their entire families.

Only if they can lure away the man in black robes will they have a chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Chi Hao ordered: "Everyone listen to my order. Except for the poison master who is lying in ambush here, everyone else should focus on assassinating Xia Shi."

……

At the gate of Huai'an City, twelve great heroes were sitting under a big tree at the gate, holding their swords.

He was still wearing the same linen clothes and straw sandals, but fortunately his sword had a scabbard. Seeing Xia Shi riding his horse towards him, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Master Xia is really punctual."

Xia Shi: "Don't call me sir, we are going to travel the world, just call me girl. By the way, you have money now, right? Where are your shoes?"
