After hearing this, Rose actually felt drummed in her heart, but in this situation, there is only one way out: pretend.
Rose said to Ding Neishi: "Don't be afraid, you said I can't get up, bring him to see me."
Waiter Ding trembled: "See... see you...?"
Rose said: "If he sees through it, I'll beat him up immediately and take you away."
Ding Neishi said: "The carriage in the palace is... just outside the door, and there are other... other people... and you are so fat... how can you run..."
Rose said with an oh: "Then let's not run, it's really tiring anyway!"
Waiter Ding went crazy: "Do you want to be lazy so you don't run away?!"
Rose hurriedly said: "No, no! It's because it's easier not to run. Don't worry, I will disgust him hard."
Hearing this, Ding Neishi still felt that Rose had always been lazy, so how could he feel relieved? But the eunuch in the palace was waiting, and they couldn't discuss for too long. The two discussed the words, and Rose practiced it again. The cloth covering the eyebrows and the fact that Rose often doesn't bother to shave and has a beard all over her face make it impossible to see her face clearly. Then Rose put on the fourth prince's pajamas and lay down, covering her body with several layers of quilts, trying to make people misunderstand her huge body as a large pile of quilts.
Thinking that the Fourth Prince was not conspicuous in the palace, perhaps the eunuch hadn't paid much attention to him in the past, Ding Nei tried his best to go to the front living room again. He accompanied him carefully and said to the eunuch in the palace: "I woke up His Highness, His Highness really can't get out of bed, he is dizzy even sitting, but he wants you to send a message to the emperor himself, thank you His Majesty."
The eunuch in the palace reluctantly followed Ding Nei to the bedroom. The bedroom was a little dark with the windows closed. As soon as he entered, the "Fourth Prince" in the tent began to cough hard, with phlegm coming out of his throat. Ming, listening to it made people feel nauseated, the eunuch from the palace held his breath, and began to regret why he had entered this room, so he didn't make do with the bed.
The "Fourth Prince" in the tent said intermittently during the interval of coughing: "Please... thank you... Father... Kaka... I really... Kaka... I can't make it..."
The eunuch had seen the fourth prince from afar before, but he didn't look too carefully. Hearing the fourth prince's phlegm-heavy words, he said hastily: "Your Highness is recovering at ease, and this servant will definitely bring the message." He didn't at all Thinking that someone would pretend to be an abandoned prince.
The "Fourth Prince" struggled and said, "Thank you..." Then he coughed again, which was really disgusting.
The eunuch held his breath and saluted, turned around and left the bedroom before taking a breath of fresh air. Waiter Ding chased him out, and the eunuch walked straight to the front door. Waiter Ding looked very worried: "This is really... this is really..." There is no reason for it. Seeing that the eunuch was about to leave, Ding Nei waiter hurriedly took out some silver from his pocket and gave it to the eunuch in the palace, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness lives here, it is very simple, there is no money..."
The eunuch looked at the money in his hand, and was furious: In winter, you ran to the imperial mausoleum against the cold wind and saw a sick person, so why did you give such a small amount of money? ! Who doesn't know that the fourth prince's natal family is very rich, so he doesn't take himself seriously, right? The eunuch snorted, opened the door and left.
After closing the front door again, Ding Nei's legs went limp and he slumped on the ground. Rose pricked up her ears and listened hard, but there was no sound for a long time, so she got up and touched it out carefully. Probe to the front yard, only to find Ding Neishi sitting on the ground, already frozen. Rose rushed up to drag Ding Neishi, but Ding Neishi couldn't move, and Rose had some muscles besides fat, so she carried Ding Neishi back to the house. Then he rubbed his hands and patted Ding Neishi, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so scared? Is it so scary? Let me tell you a story. When I was in the south, I went out one night. The big moon suddenly appeared It turned blood red! In the bamboo forest, a shadow flickered, and I followed it..."
Waiter Ding Nei mumbled and said: "You... lie... lie, you are too lazy to run for your life... sure... you won't... follow the past..."
Rose smiled: "You know me too. Well, I just followed one step, and then! That shadow floated towards me..."
Not to mention that Rose used terror therapy to help Ding Neishi regain consciousness, but only said that the eunuch returned to the palace and told Grandpa Sun that the fourth prince was indeed in bed with a cold. ! The implication is to tell the emperor not to say that he is coming to the city for the New Year: at this time, who doesn't want to show his face in front of the emperor and offend me, so don't count on it!
Eunuch Sun naturally told the emperor that the emperor was a little unhappy, and he felt that since he had revealed it, the fourth prince should go to Beijing even if he was being carried. The emperor said coldly: "Then let him rest well, and he won't have to enter the palace for anything in the future!"
Eunuch Sun sighed again that the fourth prince was an unlucky person: Finally, once the emperor wanted to give him a chance to come back, he was actually sick! It seems that the fourth prince really wants to guard the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life.
------------------------
Shen Jian is now the first assistant under the Marquis of Zhenbei's tent. He is known as "Supervisor Shen".
The person Shen Yi sent to tell Shen Jian the news was his personal bodyguard Geng Biao. It was early in the morning when Geng Biao arrived in Yancheng. As soon as the city gate opened, he went to the Chinese army, and went directly to the side courtyard where Shen Jian was working. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Zhi and Zhang Ding chatting outside the door, one on the left and the other on the right. Geng Biao saluted and said, "I have something to ask to see Governor Shen."
Wang Zhi greeted with a smile: "Brother Geng, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you looking for Governor Shen?"
Now Geng Biao understood Shen Yi's intentions more than ten times, and said to Wang Zhi with a smile: "Brother Wang, in fact, I want Governor Shen to pick up people outside the city."
Zhang Ding stood up and said, "I see fellow villagers, I'll send you a message, you two talk."
Geng Biao was not in a hurry, he just waited outside the door, and Wang Zhi asked, "Where have you been recently?"
Geng Biao said straightforwardly: "Just go around all the time. The general likes to ride horses with his guards in the wild."
Wang Zhi asked again: "Who did General Shen ask the supervisor to pick up?"
Geng Biao answered honestly: "The general said that there is a Ji Guo player who is especially good at playing chess, and he wants to join the Marquis' tent. The general asked Shen Dushi to go out of the city to pick him up, to show his sincerity."
Wang Zhi was puzzled: "A chess player?"
Geng Biao nodded and said, "The general keeps saying that he is very talented." …
Shen Jian was writing something in a pile of documents, heard Geng Biao's words in his ear, and finished writing in a hurry, as soon as Zhang Ding came in, Shen Jian whispered: "I'm going out of the city, you watch him, don't let him follow me. "Since Shen Yi asked him to go out to pick up people, it must be Shen Wen and the others who have arrived. When he left, Yan Shi wanted to follow. At that time, he pushed Yan Shi to Shen Wen, wondering if Shen Wen brought Yan Shi here. Although Shen Jian thought it was impossible, his heart was beating wildly and his face was a little red. He took a few deep breaths, returned to his usual smile, went out with Zhang Ding, and hurriedly said to Geng Biao: " Take me to meet your general."
Wang Zhi wanted to go with him, but Zhang Ding said, "Brother Wang, it's cold today, I'll go with the supervisor."
Shen Jian turned his head and said to the two people: "You don't have to go, Geng Biao and I can just go. It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of chores, you are here to help me watch over them, and report to me for the rest of the work."
Just as Wang Zhi wanted to fight again, Shen Jian and Geng Biao had already left. Zhang Ding "kindly" pulled Wang Zhi, and whispered, "Brother Wang, it's just a matter of leisure. Let's wait here."
After they left, Wang Zhi sat for a while and said, "Brother Zhang, help me to watch. I'll come as soon as I go."
Zhang Ding hurriedly agreed. Wang Zhi left the Chinese army and went to the downtown area outside the camp. From a distance, an old soldier followed him inconspicuously, watching him enter a tavern...
Shen Jian and Geng Biao rode out of the city, and Geng Biao led the way, wanting to meet Shen Yi and others. Shen Jian had to take a deep breath from time to time, causing Geng Biao to ask, "Is the supervisor feeling unwell?"
Shen Jian quickly shook his head and said, "I just can't wait to see them."
Geng Biao said: "They are only half a day away from here, we should run into each other soon."
But they didn't meet soon, on the contrary, Geng Biao took Shen Jian all the way to the camp he left last night, those people were still there.
With Shen Yi leading troops to guard, Zhang Yunzheng doesn't have to worry. Everyone was relaxed and had a long sleep. Seeing that there was no movement in their camp, Shen Yi only led the soldiers around and did not come to disturb them. As a result, after noon in the sun, these talents got up one after another. After breakfast, Shen Jian arrived before the tent was packed. He saw Shen Yi who was waiting for him first, and Shen Yi introduced him in a low voice while walking with him: "Apart from Ji Guoshou, among the people who came this time were Duan Langzhong and Shi Langzhong, the young master surnamed Zhang..."
Shen Jian nodded and said: "That should be from the Pingyuanhou's residence, little sister...my brother must be able to walk this way, they must have paid for it."
Shen Yi said: "Yes, although the three carriages are unremarkable, they are all made of good materials. There is also a Mr. Jiang..."
Shen Jian frowned. He knew only one Young Master Jiang: the Fourth Prince, who used to play chess with others in the name of Young Master Jiang in Guanyi Pavilion, but how could he come? Before Shen Jian could think clearly, Shen Yi said: "Oh, there is another Uncle Yan..."
"What?! She's really here?!" Shen Jian lost his voice.
Shen Yi looked at Shen Jian puzzled: "You know him?"
Shen Jian coughed hurriedly: "I know... I know... an Uncle Yan... but maybe it's not her..."
Shen Yi said: "It must be, he said that he is your uncle, and he wants to join the Chinese army to help you."
Shen Jian coughed again, they walked into the camp, greeted Ji Wenzhao, Zhang Yunzheng, Duan Zeng and others who came up, when they arrived at the fourth prince, his eyes showed surprise, and the fourth prince immediately said: "Second son Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Younger brother Shen San often plays chess." Hearing this, it seems that he and Shen Zhuo are very close. Shen Jian was misled for a moment: Could it be that the fourth prince is already in the circle? In any case, it is not right to call him out now, so Shen Jian saluted as usual: "Young Master Jiang is polite."
Shen Wen was also very excited to see Shen Jian, but Yan Shi behind her exuded an almost crazy atmosphere, Shen Wen could only salute Shen Jian with tears in his eyes, and without daring to waste any more time, he immediately walked away, revealing Yan Shi. After waiting for such a long time, Yan Shi finally saw Shen Jian again, all she could do now was try her best not to cry or burst into tears. When she came in front of Shen Jian, she couldn't see Shen Jian's face clearly in the haze, she just raised her hand and punched Shen Jian on the shoulder, and said carelessly: "Brother-in-law, it's been a long time!" Then she was so choked up that she couldn't speak Say something else.
Shen Jian's eyes were also red, and he stretched out his hand to hold Yan Shi's, and the two held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Seeing such an exciting meeting, Shen Yi was a little surprised, and asked Shen Wen in a low voice: "Are the two of them on such a good relationship?"
Shen Wen bit his lower lip, frowned and said, "He... was the matchmaker for the second brother... and married his younger sister (that is, herself) to the second brother."
Shen Yi suddenly nodded: "No wonder."
Yan wiped her tears boldly, and said to Shen Jian: "In the future, we will have time to play chess. Brother Ji and I are going to serve under the tent of the Marquis of Zhenbei as a staff member. When the time comes, I will come to serve as a staff officer for my brother-in-law." of."
Shen Jian hurriedly said: "No!"
Yan waved his hand: "Why not?! Don't underestimate our scholars who have invested in the army. Needless to say, Senior Brother Ji is a genius gamer, and I have also achieved something in a small way! You will know in the future, I am a chest A person with a universe!"
Ji Wenzhao said: "You can't talk too much! I don't even dare to talk about myself like that!"
Yan glanced at Ji Wenzhao: "Don't pretend to be modest! Forgot that you always claim to be 'number one in the world'?"
Ji Wenzhao coughed, glanced at Shen Wen, and said, "Now, I have to reconsider this title. I found some things that I can't solve..."
The fourth prince knew that Shen Wen's social problems had disturbed Ji Wenzhao's mind and dampened his self-confidence, so he hurriedly encouraged Ji Wenzhao and said: "Xiu Ming must be number one in the game, and no one can beat him."
Ji Wenzhao hurriedly said, "Oh, how embarrassing that is! I shouldn't have said it so clearly..."
Yan snorted and said, "Then I have to be the fifth and sixth, right? I'm still very humble, and I didn't say the top three..."
Shen Jian interrupted: "It's not because of this reason that you are not allowed to stay..."
Yan put her hands on Shen Jian's shoulders solemnly, and said solemnly: "Brother-in-law... this address is very awkward, I will call you Brother Shen... The current situation is that I have already come, whether you agree or not, I will stay. Do you want me to live in someone else's tent? Or do you want me to be your personal adviser and live with you?" Yan stared at Shen Jian seriously with eyes swollen from crying.
Shen Jian also said seriously: "I don't want either! I want you to go home!"
Yan withdrew his hand: "There is no such option, so you didn't answer this question correctly! In this case, it is equivalent to choosing the second option! So, thank you for letting me be your staff, Brother Shen, in the future please Take care of me!" Yan Shi cupped his hands.
Shen Jian wanted to argue again, Yan nodded to Shen Yi and said: "General Shen said that I can join the Chinese army."
Shen Yi nodded and said, "It would be nice if the Chinese army had more of us.
Shen Jian looked at Shen Yi depressedly: These are your younger siblings, will you kill me if you find out in the future
Yan clasped her fists to Shen Yi and said, "Thank you General Shen!"
Shen Yi said with a smile: "Don't be so introverted, since we are relatives, just call me big brother."
Yan immediately said, "Hi, brother!"
Shen Jian sighed, and Yan immediately put his hand on his shoulder again and said, "Let me tell you, we have many stories along the way! We were all almost eaten!"
Shen Jian was shocked: "Really?!"
Yan Shi nodded and said, "I can talk to you about it when I get to the Chinese Army's tent in the future!"
Shen Jian obviously compromised and no longer objected.
Ji Wenzhao laughed: "My... junior brother is not an easy-going lamp. The flesh and blood of my benefactor is naturally extremely intelligent." The people next to him all laughed, feeling like a conspiracy was successful.
Shen Jian and Shen Yi led the soldiers and escorted the group to Yancheng. When they arrived outside Yancheng, it was already dark, and the city gate was about to be closed, and everyone hurried into the city. Shen Jian arranged the group in a courtyard of a garrison barracks, and said to Shen Yi: "I'm going back to the Chinese army now. See Lord Hou, talk about it carefully, and strive to let Ji Guoshou enter the camp tomorrow." In Yancheng, the two people called Zhenbeihou Lord Hou just like everyone else.
Shen Yi gestured to Yan who came over and said, "Don't forget your Uncle Yan."
Shen Jian was particularly awkward listening, Yan Shi smiled and said: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan is fine."
Seeing that Shen Yi was busy setting up soldiers and guards, Shen Jian pulled Yan Shi aside and said in a low voice, "I still hope you can go home."
Yan Shi also replied in a low voice: "Don't think about it. This matter has already been settled. You help me think about it, will Wang Zhi recognize me?"
Shen Jian thought carefully: "When we met for the first time and played chess at Guanyi Pavilion, I didn't take him with me. After you got married, you didn't often come out in the yard. He couldn't come into our yard, so he probably didn't have many chances. Maybe When I was walking in the mansion, I saw..."
Yan said confidently: "Then don't worry, I always bow my head in front of outsiders. I rarely have a straight face. Even if he sees it, he won't see it very clearly."
Shen Jian looked sideways: "Where did you ever bow your head?"
Yan shook Shen Jian's hand excitedly, and muttered in a low voice: "Why didn't you just nod and bow? I just breathed a sigh of relief in front of you. It's great now! I'm here! I'm here! I think I'm going to explode with joy... "
Shen Jian was moved and sad, he knew that Yan's behavior was different from ordinary people, she was not like an ordinary woman, but he liked this kind of lively and straightforward with enthusiasm, maybe because it just made up for his always cold, gentle and introverted temperament. He didn't expect Yan Shi to really do what he said, and to put aside everything and come to live and die with him. He felt very lucky to have such a woman's true love...
Shen Yi saw the two holding hands again from a distance, and was once again surprised by the deep affection between Shen Jian and this uncle Yan.
Shen Jian waved to Shen Wen, and Shen Wen walked over with a guilty conscience: the second elder brother would definitely blame him for bringing the Yan family and the fourth prince. But she was fortunate to be the second brother, not the eldest brother. She was in awe of Shen Yi in her heart, and she was very afraid of Shen Yi's scolding. Shen Jian has a gentle temperament, and Shen Wen thinks he can handle it.
Shen Jian asked Shen Wen in a low voice: "That... Mr. Jiang... why are you here?"
Shen Wen glanced at Yan Shi begging for help: I brought you here, you have to help! Then she said to Shen Jian: "We passed by him... He just wanted to be with him... Well, he also wanted to go out for a walk."
Shen Jian reprimanded: "What fun? It's winter, it's freezing, there's no food or drink, what should I do if something goes wrong?!"
Shen Wen sighed: "Isn't this already out? It's useless to regret it."
Shen Jian frowned tightly and said, "His leg is healed? Does he want to..."
Shen Wen quickly shook his head and said, "No, he just wants to marry my sister Wanniang."
Shen Jian said: "Anyway, he is..."
Shen Wen hurriedly interrupted: "The fewer people who know about this, the better. Ji Guoshou doesn't even know about it, so don't tell your elder brother, lest he scold me too."
Shen Jian glared at Shen Wen, and said, "You know it too!"
Yan smiled and smoothed things over: "You know what? Why did you bring Mr. Jiang? Who doesn't want to come out for a walk? He didn't bother everyone, so don't blame Brother Wen..."
Only then did Shen Jian realize that Yan Shi did not know the identity of the Fourth Prince, so he stopped talking and just sighed: Shen Wen made it to the border with so much difficulty, and blaming her for one or two incomprehensible things would make her sad. The matter of the fourth prince is not big or small. After hesitating for a long time, Shen Jian decided not to tell Shen Yi that Young Master Jiang was the fourth prince. On the one hand, Shen Yi would definitely criticize Shen Wen again, and Shen Wen had already begged himself to keep his mouth shut; on the other hand, if he told Shen Yi, Shen Yi might tell his father, will his father react? The fourth prince's legs are obviously not limping, but he still pretends to be limping in the capital, which shows that he is an extremely cautious person and doesn't want people to know his truth. He has a close relationship with the third brother, so it's time to keep it a secret for him.
That night, Shen Jian went to see the Marquis of Zhenbei, and praised Ji Wenzhao's literary and military strategies, saying how he had repeatedly rejected the prince's offer, and how he had gone through all kinds of hardships to come here, which greatly moved the Marquis of Zhenbei. Sure enough, he was going to see Ji Wenzhao the next day.
After Shen Jian left, Shen Yi asked someone to serve a meal, only the usual soup, pickles and noodles.
After the meal, the soldiers came to remove the dishes, and Shen Yi said apologetically, "The frontier is poor, and there is nothing to entertain people. If we hadn't listened... Brother Wen prepared a lot of food and grass, I'm afraid there is no food now."
Duan Zeng said bluntly, "Oh! Don't tell us about the hardships! This is delicious! You don't know our life..." Everyone laughed bitterly, Shen Yi's face was a little gloomy, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.
Shen Wen hurriedly said: "It's not too bad."
Ji Wenzhao could understand Shen Yi's anger—if he had a little sister, but he had to travel thousands of miles, he would feel a sense of failure as an elder brother, and sighed: "It's an eye-opener for us. I see, Bianguan Shang There is morale, but there is no defense in the interior, if Bei Rong crosses the border, it will be unimpeded all the way."
Shen Yi said worriedly: "The soldiers at the border have not been replaced in large numbers all year round. To avoid arousing suspicion, Lord Hou dare not openly recruit recruits. A large number of soldiers are old and weak. I have thoroughly figured out the Shen family's army over the years. Our military strength is limited. There are only 50,000 elite soldiers..."
Ji Wenzhao glanced at Shen Wen—this is exactly the number of elite soldiers of the Shen family army that Shen Wen said on the cliff.
Shi Helin said: "Ah?! Then these 50,000 people should save some time..."
Everyone looks at him—what do you know as a doctor
Shen Wen nodded and said: "Indeed, if there is a war, these 50,000 people will immediately withdraw to Yancheng!"
Shen Yi looked at Shen Wen in surprise: "No resistance?"
Shen Wen shook his head: "Not resisting at the border."
Ji Wenzhao recalled Shen Wen's saying that when the Northern Army marched in and the Shen family's army resisted at the border, the whole army was annihilated. He agreed, "Yes, you can't resist at the border. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is numerous and we are few. The troops are scattered on the frontier, and they will be wiped out! We must retreat into Yancheng to preserve our strength."
The fourth prince asked: "But, if the Shen family's army doesn't resist, wouldn't the Bei Rong drive straight in?"
Everyone looked at Shen Wen, and Shen Wen said: "When the army enters the city, the main force in the center led by Tugu Khan will definitely not dare to go south. They don't know that the interior is already weak, and they will definitely worry that if they don't break Yancheng, they will be attacked by the enemy. Tugu The Khan must have wiped out the Shen family’s army before going south. Therefore, more than 200,000 Bei Rong should besiege the city.” In the previous life, after the Marquis of Zhenbei retreated into Yancheng, there were not many troops left, and Khan Tugu still had to siege the city. In the city, how could he allow the Shen family's army, which did not hurt anyone, to threaten his rear
Ji Wenzhao nodded, and said to Zhang Yunzheng, "You should give me all the maze diagrams."
Zhang Yunzheng reluctantly took out the cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ji Wenzhao: "These pictures cannot be presented."
Ji Wenzhao said: "Of course not." He took the small bag with both hands, and said with some seriousness: "Then we can only rely on these to defend Yancheng."
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to Ji Wenzhao: "Let me see." Ji Wenzhao gave the cloth bag to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi flipped through the design drawings of the maze and various weapons, and couldn't help but marvel: "That's great... great... really... great …”
The fourth prince frowned: "If... you don't resist... the news spreads to the capital..."
Zhang Yunzheng sneered: "What's the difference? What can the emperor do? Be more afraid? He didn't intend to send troops to reinforce him, so what good can he be expected to do?"
In a word, the Fourth Prince choked back.
Shen Yi looked at it and said: "These pictures are too precious, I really can't let others see..."
Ji Wenzhao said, "We're going to draw some fake pictures tonight."
Shen Wen yawned: "I won't draw anymore."
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said, "I don't paint either."
Ji Wenzhao said to Zhang Yunzheng: "I didn't need you to draw it at first. As soon as I enter the Chinese army tomorrow, I will definitely attract people's attention. I can no longer be so casual like today. Let's talk about the maze diagram again tonight." There was a discussion, but Ji Wenzhao felt that we should have a good talk in a safe environment.
Yan said dissatisfiedly: "What do you two mean? I also want to join the Chinese army. Let's take a look together."
Ji Wenzhao said to the fourth prince and the two doctors: "You draw fake pictures."
Duan Zeng frowned: "I really don't have any ideas..."
The fourth prince said: "I will, I will, I will make a draft..."
After reading the picture, Shen Yi raised his head and said, "You guys will live here. I let the craftsmen come here. My soldiers are around here, so it's safe. But you should be careful when you go out on the street, don't show your true colors. This city of Yan There are the eyeliner of the emperor and the prince, as well as informants from various families in the capital. You don’t know who can recognize who.” Everyone responded, and the fourth prince nodded very honestly.
Ji Wenzhao suddenly remembered, and asked Shen Wen: "We are only holding back the middle road, and what about the east road? As you said, the east road is the Huo Luo army that has reached the capital. They bypassed Yancheng. Who will stop it?" them?"
Shen Wen said: "My second brother will go."
Yan's immediately became serious: "How many soldiers should he bring? There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Beirong, right?"
Shen Wen looked at Yan Shi timidly: "He...he can bring thousands of people..."
Yan's eyes widened, and he showed a cannibal expression again: "What?! You let... your second brother bring a thousand people to stop Huo Luo's hundreds of thousands of people?!"
Shen Yi frowned, and before he could speak, Ji Wenzhao hurriedly said to Shen Wen, "Did you use the terrain to set up an ambush again?"
Shen Wen nodded, but Yan still said a little anxiously: "No terrain! Thousands of people! How is it possible?!"
Shen Wen said: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, we can't go now. After the New Year, I will take you there to see."
Yan said: "I'm going, I'm going! You'd better..." She stopped talking, and then took a deep breath: "Forget it! No matter what, I'll just go with him."
Shen Yi said: "Then let's set the fourth day. During the three days of Chinese New Year, Lord Hou will probably have something to do."
Several people were very curious and immediately agreed.
Shen Wen said: "The two gentlemen Jiang Gongzi and sister Wanniang don't need to go, that place is a high mountain, and it takes some effort to climb up."
Shi Helin immediately said: "Alright, I'll watch your house for you."
The fourth prince looked at Ji Wenzhao for help, and Ji Wenzhao said, "Young Master Jiang, let's go too, there's nothing wrong with looking at the terrain..."
Duan Zeng said: "Actually, I really want to see it..."
Shi Helin said: "You accompany me, I have only been a foster father for a few days? I am very happy."
Several people chattered: "Father?!" "When did you recognize him?"
Shi Helin smiled and said: "Yesterday yesterday..." He was very proud and smiled from ear to ear.
After talking about things, Shen Wen and Su Wanniang went to rest. Shen Yi from Ji Wenzhao's Yan family asked Zhang Yunzheng for the details of the drawing, and the fourth prince took two doctors to draw a fake maze diagram and was busy until late at night.
Early the next morning, people gathered in the hall, waiting for Shen Jian's news. According to Shen Jian's prediction, he should be able to see Zhenbei Hou today.
Ji Wenzhao chose the simplest of those weapons to present to the Marquis of Zhenbei, but even these were much higher than the current weapons of the Shen family army.
Duan Zeng showed the fake maze to everyone. Although the fake picture is far less detailed and complicated than the real picture, it is a simple fortification. The fourth prince is a little sorry, but Duan Zeng is very satisfied and said cheekily: "It looks like that! Look, the northwest corner is I drew it, there are eight corners, and there are gun holes next to each of them, whoever comes over will die."
Shi Helin said: "I designed this section according to the shape of the vines of Polygonum multiflorum, isn't it very tortuous? Also, this place is a trap, and it can be used as a toilet at ordinary times..."
Everyone laughed.
Ji Wenzhao took it over with a smile, looked at it and said, "It's pretty good, and with my explanation, it must be very mysterious."
The fourth prince hurriedly said: "Just ask Xiu Ming."
Ji Wenzhao stood up and asked, "Look, how do I dress up? Does it show off my unique talents?" He was wearing a dark gray scholar's padded jacket and a matching color bachelor's cap on his head, looking like a military advisor. .
Duan Zeng encouraged him and said, "It's really mature and smart."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned and said, "I've seen me... Mr. Zhang of the Pingyuanhou's Mansion, he always swings a fan, very chic, what should you hold in your hand."
Duan Zeng said, "Why don't I give you a feather fan too?"
The fourth prince shook his head and said: "It's cold at the border, the fan must be wrong."
Duan Zeng said: "Why don't you wear Taoist clothes? Then you can get the whisk."
Zhang Yunzheng said sharply, "Eunuchs can also hold whisks."
The fourth prince remembered Zhang Yunzheng pretending to be an eunuch by the lake in the capital, holding a whisk in his hand, and burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at him, the fourth prince put away his smile, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Duan Zeng said, "It's nothing, I just never heard you laugh."
The fourth prince was taken aback: Indeed, when did he laugh in the past? Maybe a long time ago, when he was very young, he must have laughed, but he has forgotten. In those years after his mother left, he even felt tired to breathe, so why talk about laughing? And now he can finally laugh, since when did he come back to life? For a moment, his eyes were moist.
Duan Zeng hurriedly said: "Hey, I didn't say you can't smile well. You should smile more, or you won't be a little old man?"
Ji Wenzhao said: "That's called young and mature, and he is the only one among you who has this temperament."
Duan Zeng refused to accept, "That's because of him..."
The fourth prince hurriedly said: "Because I didn't stay with you earlier, otherwise I would be as happy as you."
Duan Zeng knew that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't say any more.
Yan Shi, who also pretended to be a scholar, said anxiously: "What about me?"
Su Wanniang immediately came to Yan's aid: "Uncle Yan, you are also very... um... refreshing!"
Duan Zeng said: "As long as you keep your neck covered, no one will be able to see that you are a woman..." Yan's chest is flat and her appearance is neutral. She is indeed unpredictable.
Yan frowned: "Is this a good word?"
While everyone was joking, the courtyard was full of voices. Shen Jian arrived and said that he would take Ji Wenzhao and Yan Shi to see Zhenbeihou now.
As soon as they went out, they found that Shen Jian had brought a lot of sergeants with him, making a big noise.
Everyone blessed again, and Ji Wenzhao went out to mount his horse with his chest upright, while Yan's seemed more humble in comparison.
Along the way, Ji Wenzhao once again made a big splash, riding on a horse, surrounded by crowds to go to the Chinese army. Following Shen Jian's instructions, the soldiers introduced to the surrounding people: "This is Ji Guo's hand from Yan's Academy, who came to join the army and advise the Lord Hou..."
On that day, all the soldiers and civilians in Yancheng knew that there was a game master named Ji Wenzhao who had joined the Marquis of Zhenbei and came to serve the country.
