Chapter 8 Borrowing Soldiers

On the day of the Great Dynasty, Xiao Yu and Li Linxiang entered the palace and separated.

After the court discussion, Xiao Yu chatted with some relatively familiar ministers for a while and went straight to Yuxiu Palace.

Li Linxiang was happy, Xiao Yu was extremely excited, and Concubine Li was also very happy.

However, Xiao Yu's excitement is pure, while Princess Li's happiness is a little utilitarian.

Between the seemingly casual words, Lifei always vaguely mentions her child's future.

Xiao Yu knew why Concubine Li mentioned this, but now the Ming King Chunqiu was in full bloom, and it seemed that he had no intention to establish the prince for a short time. He did not want to participate in the royal disputes. Therefore, he pretended not to hear the implied meaning in Lifei's words and chatted with Concubine Li casually.

When it was almost lunch, King Ming suddenly arrived.

As soon as the King of Ming came, Concubine Li told Li Linxiang's happy things, but she did not mention the child's future.

After lunch, Concubine Li took Li Linxiang to the dormitory, and the King of Ming and Xiao Yu spoke in the main hall.

After chatting for a while, the King of Ming said, "Lin Xiang is happy now. I shouldn't have let you leave Mingdu now, but the war has passed away. I hope you can understand."

When Xiao Yu heard the words, her face straightened and said in a low voice, "Father, your words are heavy! My son will take the princess away from Mingdu tomorrow and promise to arrive in Jincheng within ten days.

King Ming shook his head and smiled, "This time, I'm not asking you to go to Taikang County, but asking you to sit in Yueyang County for General Yan."

Xiao Yu was stunned, nodded, arched his hand and said, "I will obey the king's order!"

"Uh-huh!"

The king of Ming nodded with a smile, meditated for a while, and then said, "I want you to go to Yueyang County to stabilize the situation there, but I also mean to persuade you to surrender Yang Shang through the Song family in Hainan."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu pondered for a while and said, "Although I am close to Tianjiao, I have some conflicts with the Song family. I can't guarantee that the Song family will treat me as a friend, and I can't guarantee that I can persuade Yang Shang to surrender.

"What's the contradiction between you and the Song family?"

"Last time, in order to save Tianjiao, Erchen went to the Song family and forcibly took Tianjiao away."

When the king of Ming heard this, he smiled faintly and replied, "It's just a small matter! When today's situation is most beneficial to me, if I can win on the battlefield in the waters of the Hongjiang River, then it will be an inevitable time for me to unify the world. At that time, in order to protect themselves, the Song family will take the initiative to marry you. Although Yang Shang is not talented, he is not a stupid person. As long as he sees that it is the general trend for me to unify the world, he will not resist to the end. After all, he does not have a grudge against me like Sima Li.

"My father is far-sighted, and my ministers admire him very much."

The king of Ming laughed and got up and pulled Xiao Yu and said, "Come with me!"

Walking hand in hand, Xiao Yu followed the King of Ming out of the Yuxiu Palace and came to the Ming King's bedroom.

"You sit down for a while!"

"Yes!"

After Xiao Yu sat down respectfully, the King of Ming walked into the secret door leading to the underground space.

After a while, Ming Wang came out with a small jade bottle in his hand.

Seeing the appearance of King Ming, Xiao Yu quickly stood up.

"sit down!"

"Yes!"

After sitting opposite each other, the king of Ming handed the jade bottle in his hand to Xiao Yu and smiled, "There were originally two drops of ten thousand-year-old earth breasts in this bottle. One drop was fed to Yan Lin, and the other drop was given to my unborn grandson!"

The longer the geocentric milk exists, the more it has the miraculous effect of changing the physique.

However, because the existence time of geocentric milk is calculated for thousands of years, most people who find that geocentric milk will not wait for the geocentric milk to turn into jade ten thousand years of geocentric milk before collecting it.

The quality of the geocentric milk given to Xiao Yu by Huangfu Lifeng was not high, at most worth a piece and a half catty of star iron, while the ten-thousand-year-old heart milk that the Ming King now took out is more valuable than an ordinary magic soldier.

"Thank you for your kindness!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu got up and gave a big salute to the King of Ming.

"Get up! How can there be so many gifts for a family?

"Yes!"

After getting up, the king of Ming told Xiao Yu about the situation in Yueyang County, and then let Xiao Yu leave.

After leaving Mingde Palace, Xiao Yu went to Yuxiu Palace until it turned dark, and then left the palace.

On the way, Xiao Yu and Li Linxiang discussed tomorrow's trip.

"I'm going to Yueyang this time, and I don't know when I can come back. Tomorrow morning, we will hold a banquet in the house and invite the eldest brother to come and sit down."

Although Xiao Yu didn't think it was necessary, he couldn't bear to disobey Li Linxiang's intention, so he nodded with a smile.

After talking about the banquet for a while, Xiao Yu took out the ten-thousand-year-old breast given by the King of Ming.

"This is the ten-thousand-year-old breast given by my father, which is used to improve our children's physique. You can put it away."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Linxiang nodded, first took the jade bottle handed over by Xiao Yu, received the Xumi mustard seed given to her by Xiao Yu, and then talked about the origin of ten thousand years of heart milk.

This bottle of ten-thousand-year-old heart milk is not from the Li family's ancestors, but was accidentally obtained by the king of the Ming Dynasty when he was a prince.

The king of the Ming got eight drops of ten-thousand-year-old heart milk. He took two drops by himself. Li Lincheng, Li Linchang, Li Lintang and Li Linxiang took four drops, Li Yanlin took one drop, and the remaining drop was the drop in their hands.

After talking about the origin of ten thousand years of earthly heart breasts, Li Linxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Rianyi's sister-in-law has been pregnant for six months. At this time, my father gave us this ten thousand years of earth breasts. He probably wanted to give the third brother a hint and let him take the initiative to withdraw from the battle of the prince."

Li Linxiang's surname is Ye, from the Ye family, one of the eight major families in Wangjiang City. She is the princess of the third prince Li Lintang.

Xiao Yu thought that the ten thousand-year-old heart milk given by the King of Ming was purely in love for Li Linxiang, but she didn't expect that there was such a mystery hidden in it.

Thinking that her child had participated in the disputes in the royal family before he was born, Xiao Yu couldn't help frowning.

Seeing that Xiao Yu's face was a little ugly, Li Linxiang continued to say, "The eldest brother's performance has been much better than that of the third brother over the years. In addition, General Yan has made a lot of achievements over the years, and his prestige is getting higher and higher. His father has deliberately made the eldest brother the crown prince, and all the courtiers and the third brother can see this. My father gave us this drop of ten-thousand-year-old heart milk. It should be just a temporary intention. Don't think too much.

"I understand!"

After replying to Li Linxiang's words, Xiao Yu began to meditate.

Through Li Linxiang's words, Xiao Yu thought of a lot of things.

Huangfu Lifeng handed over his granddaughter to Ma Yuanfang and sent a heavy treasure when Xiao Yu got married. Naturally, the purpose was to deepen the relationship with Xiao Yu.

On the one hand, he did this because Xiao Yu's strength was worthy of his deliberate friendship, but on the other hand, it was very likely to be related to Li Lintang.

If Huangfu Lifeng didn't see that the King of Ming had the intention of establishing Li Linchang as the crown prince, he would definitely be much more cautious when he made friends with Xiao Yu.

"For the third prince, General Huangfu deliberately made friends with me, as if he saw the wind and fell into the well. However, if I were in the position of General Huangfu, my choice would probably be the same as his!"

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu suppressed a trace of unhappiness in her heart and whispered and laughed with Li Linxiang.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yu sent the soldiers in the house to send invitations to some ministers who were familiar with him in Mingdu.

At noon, most of the guests invited by Xiao Yu came to Xiaofu.

At the banquet, Xiao Yu and the guests said goodbye with wine one by one. However, this time, because he was about to leave Mingdu in a while, he drank the wine into his body with Zhenyuanhua.

After noon, Xiao Yu sent the guests away, and then roughly packed up. Accompanied by Li Linchang, Shen Li and other people, she went to the north gate of Mingdu.

At the gate of the North City, Xiao Yu and Li Linchang and others talked again and were ready to go on the road.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hoofs reached everyone's ears.

Xiao Yu frowned and looked in the direction of the sound of the horse's hoofs. He saw Li Linchang running over with several attendants.

After a while, Li Lintang and several attendants came to the crowd.

Before Li Lintang opened his mouth, Li Linchang frowned first and said, "Third brother, how can you put your horses on the street at this time? What if the people are hurt?

"I'm just worried for a moment!"

He replied to Li Linchang with a smile, and Li Lintang turned his eyes to Xiao Yu.

"Just now, Xiao Wang had some urgent matters to deal with and failed to make the appointment. Please don't be surprised."

"Your Highness's words are serious!"

Xiao Yu's invitation to Li Lintang and other people is just a courtesy. As for whether they will come or not, he actually doesn't care. While bowing back, he secretly guessed the purpose of Li Linchang's pursuit.

"Will he come after him to apologize? If it's not for apologizing, what's the purpose of him chasing him?

When Xiao Yu secretly made all kinds of guesses, several attendants behind Li Lintang took out a small wine jar and eight wine bottles at the sign of Li Lintang.

Pour the wine, and the attendants handed the wine bottles to Xiao Yu and others respectively.

Although Xiao Yu had some doubts in her heart, she still took over the wine bottle.

"Xiao Wang has something to ask the general."

"Your Highness, you're welcome. Please say it sometimes!"

Li Lintang arched his hand to Xiao Yu with a wine glass and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wang wants to use the general's elite soldiers to recruit some small forces in Taikang County and form an army with a long bow as a weapon. I wonder if the general is willing to borrow troops?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and replied, "The war in Taikang County has always been directly controlled by his father and the general. As long as His Highness gets their permission, Xiao will not be stingy and will definitely lend the Blood Tiger Guard to His Highness."

"So, thank you, General!"

"Your Highness, you're welcome!"

After Xiao Yu replied, Li Lintang invited everyone to bid farewell to Xiao Yu with wine.

Xiao Yu is a person who is so cautious that he is sometimes suspicious. Although he thinks that Li Lintang does not dare to do anything in the wine, after drinking the wine, he still carefully senses some of the situation in his body.

Didn't feel anything strange, Xiao Yu quietly said goodbye to Li Linchang and others, and went north with Li Linxiang with the sword guard.

After traveling about 30 miles north, Xiao Yu and his party went west along the south side of Lushan Mountain. After traveling more than 20 miles to the west, Xiao Yu and his party went south.
