Prince Boring and Concubine Qiao Ai

In a blink of an eye, until late autumn.The lush leaves of the Luo Palace were all withered and falling. Zhao Ling spent his time recuperating in the Luo Palace. From time to time, he bickered with the guard Ning who stayed by his side, and rode a pony around the yard. It was as boring as it could be.

Since he was injured, he moved out of Luo Yi's study and returned to the yard he was familiar with.The fig tree in the yard has a particularly tenacious vitality. After he tossed a lot of branches and leaves, it actually sprouted a few buds in autumn.

As he thought, Luo Yi locked down the door for him, and he was not allowed to step out of the gate of Prince Luo's mansion.Ning Zhuang was never polite to him, he had a few extra snowflake darts in his hand, as long as Zhao Ling stepped out of the threshold, the snowflake darts would pierce towards his feet.

Ning Zhuang is the kind of person who accepts death, and the word flexibility does not exist in his life dictionary at all.Once, someone knocked on the gong outside the door to cry for injustice, saying that a certain steward of Zhou's mansion had killed his younger brother, and the government's inaction acquitted him, so he carried the coffin to the door and wailed loudly.Luo Yi was not at home at that time, Zhao Ling was woken up early in the morning and wanted to go out to see the excitement.

However, Ningzhuang's snowflake dart flew extremely fast, and Zhao Ling's foot, which was only one step away from the gate, shrank back timidly.

It's not good to watch the excitement.

After a while, the guards of the city came in droves and dragged away the troublemakers.

Luo Yi hadn't come back for three days.

On a whim, he carried a hoe and dug Luo Yi's yard three feet into the ground, and found that there was not a single jar of wine left.

"Where's the wine?" Zhao Ling sat in the deep hole he had dug, and said to himself, Luo Yi is so mean, let him drink it all up?

Ningzhuang didn't care how Zhao Ling tossed about, the master's order was that Zhao Lian was not allowed to go out, and he pretended not to see anything else, digging whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't bring down the Luo Palace.

While filling the pit, Lord Luo returned to the mansion, and the servant came to pass the news that Lord Luo wanted to summon his son.

Zhao Ling wondered, it was the first time Luo Yi had met him so formally.

Are you going to send him into the palace?

Lord Luo, you old man finally remembered that there is still a water bandit problem in the west that has not been resolved, and the [-] army of Yan State is still suppressing there.

Zhao Ling had hope again. Once Luo Yi left, he would probably have to return to the palace, and he would have some hope of escaping from the Emperor Liang.

Zhao Ling followed to Luo Yi's study, passed the front yard, and saw a carriage outside the mansion. The decorations on the carriage were ordinary, as if it belonged to an ordinary wealthy family.Who came to the Luo Palace?Still want to see me?He was puzzled, and the more he thought about it, the weirder he became.In memory, Zhao Lian didn't have many friends.

Pushing open the door, Zhao Ling saw a wheelchair at a glance.Then heard a few slight coughing.

The person in the wheelchair, with a gentle smile on his face, looked at Zhao Ling, "This... is the thirteenth prince who killed the tiger with his bare hands?"

It seems that he doesn't believe that the person in front of him has this ability.

Looking at this indifferent disabled man.Zhao Ling regretted coming in. If he had known it was Xiao Lu, he should have pretended to be sick or asleep.Take half a step back, but unfortunately the door is already closed.He could only walk over obediently and salute.

Xiao Lu was the younger brother of Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. When he was not lame, he was the least legitimate heir of the Xiao family.In the past, although Xiao He was a legitimate son, his personality was not suitable for making decisions. The Xiao family selected the most capable one among the concubines, and sent them to Xuanwu Pavilion with Xiao He.Zhao Jingming admired Xiao Lu's talent and intelligence.

Xiao He is now the master of the Xiao family, Xiao He is a direct descendant, and is a well-behaved head. He is as smart as Xiao Lu, so he naturally understands his situation.Those who outshine their masters will not end well.

When Zhao Qi came to the throne, he visited the thatched cottage three times to invite this former classmate, but he politely declined.As smart as he is, he knows that his previous rights were all given by the old patriarch. Now that the old patriarch's own son is a late bloomer, and the old patriarch takes back everything that the old patriarch gave him, what can he do?After going up and down, even the official career that he instinctively pursued based on his talent, he can't go now. He can't stand in the way of Xiao He.

The only choice is to be a leisurely young man, and spend the rest of his life in mediocrity and wealth.

This time, the emperor gave him a secret decree, asking him to accompany Luo Yi to persuade King Yan, relying solely on Luo Yi's friendship seems a little weak, but also relying on his three-inch tongue.

"Third brother, do you really plan to take him with you?"

Luo Yi nodded.

"I'm afraid this trip to the west will not go smoothly. The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It is the best policy to keep His Royal Highness in the palace." Xiao Lu looked Shizi Luo up and down, and made a simple and straightforward evaluation, "In case If there is trouble, how to arrange him?"

Does Luo Yi want to take him to the west corridor?

Zhao Ling showed a surprised expression, and then changed Zhao Lian's fear of death.

Before he could open his mouth and cry to Luo Yi about his incompetence, don't take yourself to shame yourself, he was stopped by Luo Yi's order that cannot be refuted.

"I have my own arrangements."

Luo Yi just dropped this sentence, ignored Xiao Lu, and pushed the door out.

As a junior, he has no right to speak, and it doesn't matter whether he is willing or not.

Zhao Ling hangs his head in frustration, his great plan has failed. With Ningzhuang around, it is very unlikely for him to escape, and he does not know when he will wait until he leaves the place of dire straits.He regretted a little. He gave Ning Zhuang to Luo Yi back then, and forced Ning Zhuang to swear to be loyal to Luo Yi for the rest of his life.

When he was depressed, Xiao Lu's familiar sarcastic tone sounded behind him.

"Luo Shizi," Xiao Lu turned the wheelchair, "Congratulations Luo Shizi, you got your wish."

To my ears, this congratulations is by no means a good blessing, but a naked irony.Zhao Lian also wanted to hug Xiao Lu's thigh back then, even though Xiao Lu had a good temper, he couldn't help being disgusted by a man pounced on him.

Zhao Ling grudgingly hummed.

"However... even though I don't like you, I still want to thank you for saving Gong Si's life. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Fengbo Pavilion to find me." Xiao Lu greeted the servants waiting outside the door, People enter the door and push away the wheelchair.

On the table, there was an extra pearl engraved with a lotus pattern.

Zhao Ling smiled wryly, he seemed to have taken advantage of Young Master Gong again.

……

Although the journey to the west was ordered, it was not appropriate to make a big show of it. Luo Yi only brought a dozen or so entourages and set out on the road pretending to be a caravan.To Zhao Ling's surprise, Xiao Lu didn't bring any of his cronies with him, even the servants came to the Luo Palace, and the wheelchairs were carried into the carriage by the followers of the Luo family.

When he got into the carriage, Zhao Ling was lying on the window biting his nails.

"Luo Shizi doesn't ride a horse?"

Zhao Ling said, "How tiring is it to ride a horse? The carriage is more comfortable."

"That's right, in a peaceful and prosperous age, you should enjoy it like this." Xiao Lu helped the blanket covering his lap, "I think when I was about the same size as you, the greatest enjoyment was to have a good sleep until I woke up naturally. , There is no battle report to disturb my cleanliness. Passing by a temple, I quickly put up incense sticks to pray to gods and Buddhas, to pray to Bodhisattvas to show their spirits, and to pray that the Phoenix River will burst its embankment and flood Ningguo."

"The world is going up and down, what are the people doing?" Zhao Ling looked at the scenery on the side of the road, the farms were busy, and many farmers were working and talking and laughing in the fields on both sides of the official road, so peaceful and peaceful.

"In times of chaos, no one can survive alone. Whether those in power or the people, even if they don't take the initiative to get involved, they will be pushed forward by the torrent of history." Mr. Xiao Lu has the posture of teaching.

Zhao Ling was not in the mood to argue with Xiao Lu, he saw a familiar figure hiding behind the thick tree in front of Luo Wang's mansion.

"Wait a minute," Zhao Ling could pretend not to see anyone else, but Gong Si was an exception.When he was injured, from the emperor down to Liang Guo, the influential clan heads all brought gifts to the Luo Palace for a walk, but Gong Si never showed his face.

Zhao Ling jumped out of the carriage and greeted Gong Si, who no longer hid. Today, Young Master Gong changed into a long gown the color of the green lake, and still carried his precious Mingquan Bow on his back.His hands were behind his back all the time, Zhao Ling guessed that he came with a gift.

Isn't it just to say thank you?See how awkward this kid is?Zhao Ling snickered, and said solemnly on the surface, "The palace companion is polite."

"Are you hurt?"

"Thank you for your concern." Zhao Ling especially wanted to know what gift Gong Si was holding behind his back. It must be very valuable as a parting gift. He knew exactly what treasures the Gong family had. Asking Ah Cheng for help, Gong Si wanted to thank him for saving his life, and at least he had to bring out a famous sword ranked among the top [-] in the world.

But seeing Gong Si salute, he actually held a yellow scroll in his hand, which was an imperial decree, "Lord Luo."

Zhao Ling turned around, Luo Yi left the house at some point and stood behind him.

"You...go too?" The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth twitched a little. What exactly do you think, big brother?Let Luo Yi go to the west corridor to be a lobbyist, and a group of weak children, sick and disabled followed.It's all right for Xiao Lu to follow, his legs are not good, but his mouth works, he himself can be regarded as a relative of the Luo family, and it makes sense to follow Luo Yi to see the world, but what does Gong Si come with?In case of a fight, this person's life is much more valuable than that of his thirteen princes.

"Let's go." Luo Yi seemed to know about this before, and was not surprised, nor did he accept the imperial edict.

"Don't you need to accompany the prince?" Zhao Ling thought of Zhao Qi's performance in the hunting ground, and really felt that without Gongsi, His Highness the prince would be too scared to sleep at night.

"Mother asked the emperor's will, and ordered me to go with you. First, I came to see the world with Lord Luo, and second..." He paused, wondering if Zhao Lian could understand, "Bring a stick of incense to the old man .”

Among the old friends, he probably was Zhao Ling.

Gao Lanyin came to see him twice after he was injured, once with Lord Kuang and the other time with the Empress.Zhao Ling pretended to be asleep both times.Junior Sister should hate Zhao Lian to death, the dead Duanxiu who harmed his own son all day long!

Gong Si rode a horse and walked ahead of the team with Luo Yi, while Zhao Ling climbed back into the carriage and stared at Xiao Lu in silence.Xiao Lu took the book and flipped through it casually. Zhao Ling looked at the scenery outside the window, and took a few glances at the backs of Gong Si and Luo Yi.

The commercial road that the horse-drawn carriages traveled, known as Yangguan Road, was newly opened by Emperor Liang after he ascended the throne.According to the history books, when the trade route was first built, it was opposed by many senior ministers. After all, the war had just ended, Ningguo was initially established, and the treasury was empty.Liang Dili resisted all opinions and insisted on building a trade route from Liangdu to Fenghuang River.After the commercial route was completed, Daliang immediately replaced Ningguo and became the most prosperous of the four kingdoms. People all praised Emperor Liang for his vision.

There are also unofficial records that the construction of Yangguan Road did not move a penny of silver from the treasury, and it was all paid by the Luowang Mansion.Zhao Ling knew it was made up at a glance. Although the Luo family has a lot of fiefdoms and properties, it is absolutely impossible for them to spend so much money to build a trade route that is of no use to them. It is almost the same to buy military pay and war horses .Wu's family should have contributed more than half of the money, and Kuang Chengzong also made up a few shares. Luo Yi took the lead in donating money at best, and called on civil and military officials to fill in the few odds.

At noon, the team was resting. Zhao Ling jumped out of the carriage and found them in the mountains.Really convinced of the boring gourd, obviously pretending to be a caravan, rich and powerful, should find an inn in a nearby town to rest, drink and eat meat.Where is it like now, where to go and where to stop, it is similar to marching, without any picks at all!

The horse ran to a small stream to drink water by itself. Zhao Ling wanted to find a big tree to hide from the sun, but seeing Xiao Lu struggling in a wheelchair, he pushed him from behind.

"Thank you," Xiao Lu said with the gentle atmosphere of the Xiao family.

Zhao Ling really wanted to ask, why did your old man push the wheelchair down?Disabled people should stay in the carriage well, and don't run around and trouble others.

"Can Luo Shizi push me to the stream?"

Won't you take someone under your wing to use me right now?

Luo Yi didn't bring many people, each was busy in his own way, Gong Si was far away from him, facing a bow and arrow with Ning Zhuang, as if discussing the matter of Mingquan bow with Luo Yi.

Luo Yi and a few subordinates ordered something.

Only he is very leisurely and seems to be the most suitable to take care of the disabled.

Zhao Ling pushed the wheelchair reluctantly. There were many rocks on the mountain and the road was narrow. His thin body managed to push the wheelchair over with difficulty.The stream is clear and shallow, and the tadpoles swim around through the cracks in the stones.

"It's a nice view."

"Luo Shizi, what are you stepping on?" Xiao Lu asked suddenly.

Zhao Ling lowered his head and saw nothing.Why did Xiao Lu deliberately tease him?Just as he was thinking, he saw a black shadow on the ground, as if something was approaching, and wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain, and the back of his neck was in severe pain. He felt his eyes darkened and lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, his hands were tied behind his back with ropes, his eyes were covered with cloth strips, and a cloth ball was stuffed in his mouth against his throat.

He remembered that there were only him and Xiao Lu by the river at that time.It was undoubtedly Xiao Lu who knocked him out.

Why did Xiao Lu kidnap him?

The best time to kill him was not grasped, which showed that Xiao Lu did not want to kill him.Take him as a hostage to find some benefits for the Xiao family, but neither Luo Yi nor the eldest brother is the kind of person who will be blackmailed by others. Xiao Lu knows Luo Yi as well as he does, and this kind of stupid behavior is not in line with Xiao's behavior. Lu's style of doing things.

If he disappeared, only one thing would happen, that is, Luo Yi thought he had run away from home again, and then sent the Luo family followers to search for him all over the mountains and plains.

Xiao Lu was delaying time.

Luo Yi's trip was to investigate the murder of water bandits and quell the chaos that was looming.One day later, Yan's army might make some moves, and the blood on the Phoenix River might be even more.

Is Xiao Lu's purpose here?

Zhao Ling felt a slight shaking around him, and decided that he was on a boat at this time.The person who tied him up seemed to be taking him elsewhere by water.At this time, the ship has not yet opened and is docked at the pier.He could faintly hear the voice of a ship owner yelling as he docked.

The map of Daliang was in Zhao Ling's mind, and it took about three days to travel from the west side of the mountain stream where he fainted to the nearest riverside wharf with the fastest horse.

For three days, Luo Yi didn't find him.

I have to admit that Xiao Lu is indeed powerful, and he is indeed the one who could benefit from his Xue family army in his previous life.

Going on like this, going further and further away, waiting for Luo Yi to rescue him, there is almost no hope.

Zhao Ling tried his best to turn over, he had to find a way to escape.Opportunity comes once in a lifetime, no matter why Xiao Lu kidnapped him, he is very grateful to Xiao Lu for taking him out of Ningzhuang's controllable range, he is so weak that he is much easier to deal with than the guards of the Luo family guarding him.

Zhao Ling rolled a few more times, and his arm touched the corner of the wall. The coldness of the stone wall slightly dissipated the medicinal properties of Ruanjinsan.He couldn't see, and he could only judge whether someone passed by him by listening to the sound.

A person passing by, walks vainly, is a practicer, has an old-fashioned voice, and is not an ideal match.

Another person passed by, followed by the sound of abacus. He was a shrewd and capable person, and he was not an ideal object.

The third person passed by... um... the soles of his feet are honest, he doesn't know martial arts, he is strong, and he is impulsive when he listens to his voice. Very good, that's him!

Zhao Ling coughed violently.

It was covered with a rag, but the cough came from the bottom of his heart, the loudest he could make now.

Sure enough, the big man stopped, opened the door and looked into the room.

"Woooo..." Zhao Ling struggled hard.

"Who?" The big man approached.

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing that it was a person and a handsome young man, the big man knelt down and took off Zhao Ling's blindfold and the rag from his mouth, "What do you want to say?"

"Has your wife run away with someone?" Zhao Ling coughed lightly.

The big man was taken aback, was Zhao Ling talking to him?

Zhao Ling nodded affirmatively, "I will look at the face, ahem... Even if I don't run now, I will... in the future."

The big man's family is poor, and he managed to save enough gifts this year, and married a girl from a neighboring village as his wife. It's only been half a year. What does Zhao Ling mean by this?He blurted out, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"As for women, you like men who can satisfy you. You're a little..." Zhao Ling coughed even harder, "You know, I just... just... I won't say it. This is not a disease... but... it's better than Illness still tortures people."

The big man blushed with anger, his dignity was completely challenged by the man in front of him!He is fierce and fierce, seven times a night, how can he not satisfy a woman!He boarded the boat to deliver a dish, but he didn't even know who the person tied into rice dumplings was.In short, he is not a good person. Will a good person be tied here?This man is talking nonsense and owes a lesson.

He kicked Zhao Ling's stomach with a big footprint. Zhao Ling listened to the sound and avoided the vitals, and also received a solid blow.The pain caused the medicinal properties of Ruanjin Powder to drop sharply, and he seemed to be able to feel a little bit of strength pouring into his hands and feet.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooophone

The big man swung his fists with all his strength, Zhao Ling avoided his face and neck, and let his fists and feet land on the skin and flesh away from the internal organs, until someone heard the sound and shouted that it's not good, stop him quickly, the big man stopped panting, and said He kept hurling insults.

"Stop it! Do you know how much he is worth!" The two men who came were holding long knives, and the big man ran away in fright.

Zhao Ling remembered this attire. When the water bandits were rampant in Ningguo, Mr. Chu once drew a painting of the warriors fighting against the water bandits.There are more than one family of Fenghuang River water bandits, and they are divided into gangs by color. Here, a red turban is worn around the head, and a red rope is tied on top of the head.This style of dressing can also be regarded as the very unique aesthetics of the Six Kingdoms back then.

"He's still alive." A man squatted down, seeing that Zhao Ling was still breathing, he felt relieved.

"How do you let an outsider in?"

"He walked in and cared about my business!"

The two quarreled, ignoring Zhao Ling who was slowly getting up.With his hands behind his back, Zhao Ling untied the ropes that bound him.Untying the rope couldn't help him.The pain restored his strength. The best solution for Ruanjinsan is not an antidote, but a severe beating. He practiced it in his previous life and it worked very well.

"It's you! It's not enough to make things happen, but it's more than enough to make things worse. Boss's good things have been ruined by you!"

"Bullshit! I'm the apprentice brought out by the boss, no one of you dares to talk to me!"

Let's fight, let's fight, Zhao Ling raised his hands high, aiming at the back of the neck, with both hands ready to chop, one on each side, and it was solved instantly without any effort.

straw bag.

Zhao Ling cursed secretly, he got his head out from the door, and guessed right, it was the pier.

But this pier is not an ordinary pier. There are three boats, each of which is engraved with the mark of a water bandit.The people on the pier not only didn't care, but also warmly greeted the water bandits on board.

Could it be that this pier, and the town to which this pier belongs, are all water bandits?

He took a step forward, and suddenly there was a shadow behind him, he subconsciously kicked in a roundabout, but was indeed dodged by that person.

Zhao Ling was startled, this person's kung fu was superior to his.There are some master kidnappers, so it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, you have to find the right time to escape first.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the man did not kill or beat him, and immediately hugged him around the waist.

Suddenly, Zhao Ling was unprepared, trapped by his arms, struggling in vain.

"Master Zhao, it's me." The man's voice was very soft, but it was indeed in Zhao Ling's ear.

Zhao Ling almost bit his tongue, "Fang Jing?"

The other party immediately covered his mouth, "This place is dangerous, follow me."

Is it a coincidence?

Since Fang Jing was rescued by Luo Yi Cui Fang last time, Zhao Ling thought that this person would listen to his advice, put down the butcher knife and turn around, and don't make trouble for his elder brother and brother in the name of Zhao Jingming's old department. Lord Luo is looking for trouble.

But obviously, Brother Fang couldn't stay idle. Seeing this attire, the wanted criminal changed into a water bandit.

With a red turban on his head and braids mixed with red hemp ropes, this attire is really inappropriate for the heroic image of Lieutenant Fang who always looks righteous and awe-inspiring and yells at his death for the country.

Fang Jing led Zhao Ling into a room, lit candles, and closed the windows.

"Master Zhao, it's safe here."

"Thank you." Zhao Ling leaned back on the chair to rest, and the shock just now had consumed a lot of his energy, "I saved your life last time, it's a good one, this time it's your turn to save me."

Fang Jing said, "Even without me, Mr. Zhao can escape. If the spin kick just now hadn't been experienced many times by his subordinates, it would be impossible to escape by instinct."

Zhao Ling twitched at the corner of his mouth, the roundhouse kick was Zhao Jingming's original creation, if it was Luo Yi who got hit by this kick, he would be able to blurt out immediately that he was Zhao Ling. Fortunately, his subordinates are obsessed with nothing but practicing martial arts and fighting. , Other common sense is basically a noob, so I just complained and didn't think about it.

Fang Jing turned around and dealt with the scene, probably throwing the unconscious two into the sea.When I came back, I brought two bottles of medicine for reducing swelling and pain.

Zhao Ling thanked, "Who instructed you to tie me up?"

"We don't know. When the man came to town, he covered his face with a bamboo hat. We have never seen him. I think he is slender, with delicate bones, and he must have a good martial arts foundation. He speaks with a false voice, and we I can’t tell where he came from.” Fang Jing tried hard to recall, “He offered 1000 million taels of silver and asked us to take you to Dingtian City on the south side of Fenghuang River. I only knew that there was one person, but I didn’t know it was Mr. Zhao. Until just now..."

Zhao Ling took a brief look at the furnishings of the house and interrupted Fang Jing, "The wharf is the wharf of water bandits. The people who come and go to the wharf are all water bandits and their families. It's unbelievable. No wonder water bandits have run rampant on the Phoenix River for so many years. Some Which government can find such a smoldering hiding place? The entire town here belongs to water bandits."

If his guess is correct, he has arrived at the lair of the Fenghuang River water bandits.

The old nest is quite far away from the Fenghuang River, and it is still within the territory of his Daliang.In the past, when Ning State was not destroyed, it and Daliang were two countries. After the water bandits robbed Ning State's property and ran to Daliang, Ning State's army naturally couldn't find it after searching for a long time.The border of the West Corridor was guarded by the Xue family. At that time, my uncle was probably enjoying watching the fun, allowing the water bandits to walk freely. Anyway, it was not Liang Guo who was robbed, but Ning Guo, who was in the same situation as Liang Guo.

"Master Zhao, I will take you away tonight, it is not suitable to stay here for long."

"You also know that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time? What did I say when I saved your life? Is this how you repay me?" Zhao Ling said bitterly.

Fang Jing lowered his head, "I sneaked in because I wanted to kill this water bandit leader! This man should be damned! The four cases in Fenghuang River were all directed by him. A piece of broken jade, inciting the people, said that after the death of the Lord, Ningguo’s imperial jade seal was in his hand, and that was a corner of the jade seal. Others don’t know, how can I not know? The Lord has never seen it at all. What Ningguo's jade seal, his mother's nonsense must have an explanation! I want to kill him, I can't let him tarnish the reputation of the lord! But he is very defensive, and I failed several times. "

"..."

Zhao Ling suddenly felt mixed feelings, happy that Fang Jing did not really seek refuge in the bandit den, worried about the jade seal of Ningguo that Fang Jing talked about.

They were unlucky enough to run into an escaped tiger at the hunting ground in the parent mountain range before, and Kuang Houye also picked up a piece of jade called Ningguo Yuxi Corner nearby.

Kuang Chengzong had seen the appearance of Ningguo Yuxi, so his judgment should be accurate.

The time of appearance was almost at the same time, too coincidental.

The Ningguo Yuxi was broken into several parts and re-entered the world 20 years after his death.

He said that he escaped because the water bandits' crimes had nothing to do with him. It was a matter for Luo Yi and Xi Duhu to solve, but he couldn't ignore the Ningguo Yuxi if it was involved.

The Ningguo Yuxi was the most inexplicable scapegoat he carried in his previous life, and it was the first fork in the road that led to his death.

"What is the origin of this water bandit, let me tell you."

Fang Jing kept silent, Zhao Ling urged him, but he still did not speak, but asked, "Young Master Zhao, what is your relationship with the Lord? How did you know the secret order of the Xue family army?"

When Fang Jing escaped, he wanted to ask. After he escaped, while recuperating from his wounds, he heard people talking about the thirteenth prince, and finally learned the identity of the person who rescued him. He pondered over and over whether Zhao Lian was Zhao Ling's posthumous son, a nephew raised by Zhao Qi in the name of his own son.

He also inquired that the thirteenth prince had a miserable life when he was a child, and his reputation was not very good. He was just recognized by Luo Yi as his son. Counting the time, in order to conceal it, no one would notice if he was at least one or two years old. He felt that Zhao Lian was the Lord's son.

"You tell me the truth, and I'll tell you everything about the water bandits here."

Zhao Ling said vaguely, "Probably... a secret order... One day I dug a hole in the palace and found a manuscript written by Zhao Jingming, which clearly stated that it was the inheritance of Seventh Uncle's behest? "

He was afraid that Fang Jing would chase after him and ask.

Rescuing Fang Jing last time was an expedient measure. If he hadn't come up with the secret order of Xue Jiajun, Fang Jing would not have gone with him even if he died.He didn't expect to see Fang Jing again in this life, but the coincidence of fate brought them together.

"So that's how it is." Fang Jing suddenly realized, "Master Zhao, you are really the master's child! You are my young master."

What?

Zhao Ling was a little confused...Is Fang Jing crazy?Young Master?child?He, Zhao Ling, had only fought wars in his previous life, so how could he have the leisure to hug a woman and have children?Even if there is, Zhao Lian and Zhao Ling have been dead for 20 years, so the ages don't match!Posthumous child left in the mother's womb for two years?In two years, every Nezha was born!

Fang Jing seemed to believe that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed again and again, "This subordinate sees the young master!"

"No, no, no..." Zhao Ling didn't dare to speak loudly, and hurriedly supported Fang Jing, "I am the Thirteenth Prince, I just look like Zhao Jingming."

"That dog emperor, I'm going to kill him sooner or later. He didn't say anything about killing the master, but also made the young master recognize the thief as his father! Young master, you were deceived by him! He killed your mother when you were a baby. Then I kept lying to you that you were the prince, but in fact your biological father was the Seventh Prince who was killed by him!" Fang Jing became more and more enthusiastic, and the more outrageous he said, Zhao Ling simply admired Fang Jing's rich imagination. Find out that his lieutenant general has such talent!

But... this is also a good excuse to explain why he understands the secret order of the Xue family army.

He used to want to hide in peace, and it was best to get rid of the square mirror, but now, the fragments of Ningguo's jade seal appeared in the world, and someone made a big fuss about his sacrifice.He wasn't sure if Luo Yi would help him, but if he was Zhao Ling's posthumous son, Fang Jing would definitely help him.

He needs a strong and loyal helper.

Zhao Ling resolutely made mistakes, and quickly imitated Zhao Lian, raising his sleeves and wiping tears, "Perhaps, you are right. Father has treated me badly since I was a child... I have never understood why... Could it be because I am not his biological child?" ...Because he hates my biological father so much?"

Tears can't be wiped out, just a few drops of eye feces.

Fang Jing didn't care about these details. He felt that the child had been greatly wronged. He regretted that he hadn't found out that the Lord had a posthumous child early, and that he hadn't protected the bones of the Lord and let him suffer at the hands of the enemy.

Zhao Ling stopped when he saw it, and rushed to hug Fang Jing's neck. His thin body hung on Fang Jing's neck. like a child.

Outside the door, someone hurriedly shouted: "Brother Fang! The boss's boat is back!"
