General Xie shook his head and calmed down, "What we have to do now is to hold them back and wait for reinforcements to arrive. The manpower we currently have in the city is definitely not enough."

General Li looked serious, "General, don't worry, the soldiers will defend Liangcheng Pass even if they risk their lives."

"You are all my good sons in Dongling, I believe in you!"

"Guard the border to the death! Never let the barbarians step into the city!" The soldiers' figures flashed in the sun and they shouted loudly, their faces showing the desire for victory.

"General, I would like to thank you all!" General Xie shouted loudly. After he finished speaking, he coughed a few times. General Li quickly went around behind him, pushed his wheelchair, and pushed him down the city wall.

"General, you have been in poor health in recent years, so don't stay in this hot spot."

When General Xie was young, he had been fighting all year round and suffered many injuries. Once he was chopped on the leg, which left the root of the disease. It was fine in the summer, but the slightest breeze would cause unbearable pain.

General Xie sighed, "Nothing, it's all a trivial matter, as long as Liangcheng Pass can be defended."

"General, we still need you to take charge of the overall situation. You must not fall. If you fall, what should we do?"

General Xie was stunned for a while and said, "Don't worry. There are many talents in the court. Even if I are gone, there will be others."

General Li frowned, "General, what are you talking about? We all see your ability in leading troops, and you are the only one we admire from the bottom of our hearts."

General Xie's expression suddenly became serious. He turned around and looked around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention. "Don't say anything like this again. If it reaches the ears of others, I don’t know how to get my copy yet.”

"It's my subordinate's fault that has tarnished the general's reputation. Please forgive me, general."

"That's all, it's just a trivial matter." General Xie waved his hand.

……

Xie Mingcang said fiercely, "Why did you call me here today?"

The Yatou hesitated and opened his mouth, but still didn't dare to say anything. He knew that if he said it today, the prefect would not let him go or let his whole family go in the future. If he died, he would die. Yes, it is a heinous crime to kill your wife and children at home.

Xie Mingcang chuckled lightly, "Now I am still willing to ask you to give you a chance. Don't be shameless."

As he said that, he picked up the whip beside him. When Xie Mingcang was at the border, he would occasionally meet captured barbarians. The barbarians treated Dongling prisoners brutally and would never keep them if they could kill them. Therefore, there was a rule left in the army. , to make life worse than death for the southern barbarians, he would never let the barbarians go. He was very familiar with these punishments.

Xie Mingcang raised the whip in his hand high, and the Yatou staggered after being beaten. After a moment, he hit again.

Xie Mingcang has practiced martial arts all year round, so his hands are naturally very strong, not to mention that he slapped him hard and mercilessly at this time.

The Yatou's painful moans filled the entire cell. At this moment, he realized that the man in front of him was not a playboy. This familiar torture action was definitely not a simple person.

The Yatou gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose in luring me to the bait?"

Xie Mingcang chuckled lightly, "You are really interesting. When did I lure you into taking the bait? I'm just spending money in the city, what? Why does spending a little money hinder your yamen? It's a big joke in the world!"

He raised his head angrily and cursed loudly at Xie Mingcang, "We already told you when we brought you back that you were disrupting the market! We just brought you back to investigate! Don't mess around." "If it's true. Are you bringing me back for investigation and why are you threatening me?"

As he spoke, the movements of his hands became faster and faster, and the whip in his hand hit the Yatou's body harder and harder. His body trembled slightly. When had he ever been wronged like this?

The government officials outside the door heard the loud sound of whipping inside and thought they had thought clearly. After all, he would not use punishment under normal circumstances.

……

Jing He lay down and leaned next to Li Miaoyi's ear, saying softly, "There is no news about the young master."

Li Miaoyi couldn't help but worry, "Will something happen to him?" After saying that, she stood up and said, "Come to the Yamen with me, and you must bring him back."

Jing He was extremely calm at this time, "Miss Li, don't worry. The young master is very skilled in martial arts, so nothing will happen to him. Since he said he would let you wait, he is absolutely sure."

"But, Fuzhou belongs to them. If something happens, what should we do?"

"Miss Li, don't worry. It's just a small yamen. No matter what you say, our young master still has an official position. Without His Majesty's imperial decree, as long as the young master reveals his identity, they will not dare to do anything."

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then wait for two more days. If there is no news about him after two days, I won't wait any longer. Nothing will happen to Ming Cang."

"It's Miss."

……

Prince Rui's palace.

Jiang Yunsong was sitting in the study, holding Prince Rui's homework in his hands.

What he taught was the way of a minister, but not a single word in it deviated from the way of an emperor.

Although Jiang Yunsong knew that Prince Rui was ambitious, he did not expect that he would act so boldly.

"Teacher, are you satisfied with what you see now? How much worse is my opinion than that of the Sixth Emperor's brother?" Prince Rui snorted coldly, looked at him steadily and asked.

Jiang Yunsong lowered his head and took a deep breath, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui is very smart, but people should never place their trust in things that do not belong to them. If things go on like this, there will be disaster."

"I don't believe it! Just like my father didn't believe it back then! If my father told the teacher back then, who does this world belong to now? Has the teacher ever thought about it?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, you are different from His Majesty, the former Emperor is even more different from His Majesty, and the former Crown Prince is even more different from the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has great talents. I believe that if he inherits the throne, he will definitely benefit the people."

Prince Rui slapped the table angrily, stood up and said loudly, "What do you mean, do you mean that I will not benefit the people? I don't think I am any worse than the Sixth Emperor. The only difference between us is He is just the legitimate son, if I were the legitimate son, how could it be his turn to be the crown prince!"

Jiang Yunsong let out a long sigh, "Now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty, you must learn to accept your fate. If His Highness the Crown Prince is stupid and incompetent, I will support you in ascending the throne even if I risk my life. However, the reality is not like this, so don't be stubborn.
