Chapter 14 Military Camp ()

Go to greet the princess every day?

Haven't they been allowed to show their mother and son in recent years, so as not to hinder the princess's eyes and hurt her heart? Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Aunt Mei almost thought she heard wrongly, and subconsciously raised her head, just in time to meet Lu Xuan's cold eyes.

Aunt Mei immediately lowered her head and responded: "Yes."

Lu Ying mustered up the courage to ask her biological father: "Dad, what if the eldest sister doesn't want to see us?"

Lu Xuan was in a bad mood and lost his usual patience and gentleness towards his son. He said coldly: "If you don't want to see her, just wait outside the door. Wait until she is willing to see you."

He wanted to see how Jiang Shaohua would deal with a weak female prostitute and a pair of immature younger brothers and sisters.

If she didn't give him the dignity of being a biological father, he would return the favor and respond harshly.

Lu Ying was a little uneasy and whispered: "Dad, will eldest sister be unhappy?"

Lu Xuan's face instantly darkened: "Follow my instructions."

Lu Ying had been taught to be filial and obedient since she was a child. She didn't dare to open her mouth again and nodded silently.

Lu Ruohua still didn't know how to look at her face, so she asked innocently: "Can I play with eldest sister?"

Aunt Mei hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth: "The princess is very busy every day. She has no time to play with you."

Princess Jiang Shaohua had to take care of government affairs, manage the palace, and summon officials to discuss matters. She was indeed very busy. He, the father of a princess, spends his days reading books, admiring flowers and having nothing to do.

Lu Xuan's eyes darkened again. After Aunt Mei, mother and son retreated, they called a long attendant: "Go to the palace concierge. If there is any news about Fang Quan, come and report it immediately."

……

After half an hour.

The officials strode out of the study. Even Mr. Wen, who is old and frail, has particularly strong steps.

There are a lot of errands to be busy with, and I don't even have time to chat, so I have to hurry up.

Jiang Shaohua turned to Song Yuan and said, "I want to go visit the Guards Camp."

Song Yuan accepted the order and turned around to tell his guards to arrange the carriage and accompanying arrangements. He also ordered Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao to ride horses to the guard camp to deliver the message.

On the surface, the Nanyang garrison obeyed the orders of the royal palace, but in fact it had been taken over by the imperial court.

The real military strength of the Nanyang Palace is the guard camp.

The Guards Battalion started with 500 men and now totaled 2,000. Two hundred elite soldiers are stationed in the palace, and the remaining guards are divided into three battalions, with each battalion having 600 men.

This number may not sound like much at first, but it is actually a force that cannot be underestimated.

The Nanyang garrison claims to have eight thousand soldiers, and at least 20 to 30 percent of them are on empty pay. After excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as those who can carry swords and go into battle, there will only be 4,000 people in total.

The soldiers of the Guards Camp are strong and strong, and they are truly elite soldiers. If they really have to face each other, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

Jiang Shaohua changed his riding attire and rode a red horse. Surrounded by a group of guards, he rode his horse and whipped his horse straight to the guard camp.

The personal guard camp is located twenty miles outside the gate of Nanyang County. The military camp was built four years ago and covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 acres. The military camp is heavily guarded and we have to slow down within ten miles. There is a wooden building every one mile in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest. When you reach within five miles of the journey, you have to dismount.

Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao rode horses all the way and came to deliver a message: "The princess is here to inspect the military camp and let everyone be ready to welcome the princess."

The guards were all refreshed after receiving the news.

When King Nanyang was alive, he often brought the princess to the military camp. Over the past year, the princess has been observing filial piety in the palace and has hardly shown her face. It’s finally here today.

"My sons, cheer up and start practicing." Qin Zhan, the commander of the First Guards Battalion, was tall and strong, with a voice as loud as a bell, and his words made people's ears buzz: "Let the princess see how energetic you are. and skill.”

A battalion of soldiers agreed with a bang.

Qin Hu couldn't help but rub his ears and complained in a low voice: "Dad, your voice is too loud." Qin Zhan slapped his son on the back of the head rudely: "Get out of the way."

Qin Hu was almost slapped down, grinning and dodging to the corner while covering the back of his head. Before he could stand still, he saw his good brother Meng Sanbao limping over.

No need to ask, he must have been kicked by his biological father, Meng Dashan.

A group of brothers and sisters gathered together and expressed sympathy to each other: "Did your father kick you again with his bad temper?"

"Your father must have slapped you on the back of the head again! If you send a message from now on, just stay away."

Qin Zhan was the commander of the first battalion, and Meng Dashan was the commander of the second battalion. The older generation are close friends who grew up together. Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao have been together since childhood and are as close as brothers.

The two of them are the most skilled young guards of this generation, and they were selected into the palace as servants early on. It can be considered as promising.

It's a pity that their biological fathers are warriors who believe that talents can emerge from the stick.

Rude! So rude!

The military camp's martial arts field was several times larger than the palace's martial arts field, and the edges could barely be seen at a glance. After the three-pass military drum, all the guards of the third battalion of the guards put on armors, held sharp weapons, and lined up in order.

"The princess is here!"

Qin Hu hurriedly put down his hand, and Meng Sanbao didn't dare to pretend to be lame. The two of them quickly stepped forward and stood in their usual positions, raising their heads and chests and looking leeringly.

That's right, it's the position closest to the princess behind Commander Song.

"I have finally met the Princess!" The three commanders of the Third Guards Battalion took the lead in saluting with clasped fists.

The guards behind them all raised their hands together and shouted loudly, "I've seen the princess!"

Jiang Shaohua rode his horse for dozens of miles, not tired at all, and full of energy. She glanced briefly, and her heart surged with heat.

They were all left to her by her grandfather. Song Yuan's loyalty is unquestionable. Qin Zhan and Meng Dashan are the second generation personal guards and are loyal to him.

Her eyes fell on the last person's face.

This middle-aged man is Liu Hengchang, the commander of the Third Guards Battalion. He was recruited into the Guards Camp by King Nanyang four years ago. Among all the strong men, he was of average stature and his martial arts skills were not very high. However, he was born as a general, was familiar with military books, was good at training troops, and was also good at attacking cities and fortresses, making him a rare talent.

In his previous life, shortly after Chen Zhuo's death, Liu Hengchang led the third battalion of his guards and completely surrendered to Lu Xuan.

This cannot be entirely blamed on Liu Hengchang. As the Princess of Nanyang, she lived in the palace for six years and even married into the Wang family in the capital.

It was she who abandoned them first.

There is nothing wrong with them choosing another Ming Lord.

"All three of you, please rise." Jiang Shaohua said softly.

"Thank you so much, Princess." Qin Zhan opened his mouth and couldn't hear anyone else's voice at all.

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and glanced at him: "Everyone, get up!"

No matter how lucky she was, her sweet and soft voice reached everyone's ears.

Qin Zhan and Meng Dashan were both experts, and their eyes were all filled with surprise. Liu Hengchang couldn't help but raise his head and take a look at the young princess.

The prince is the best man in the world. Just left a little early.

The princess is extremely intelligent, unparalleled in beauty, dignified and graceful. She shows a distinctive calmness and calmness at a young age.

It's a pity that she is a woman. You will always get married in the future. No matter how smart and capable you are, you still have to be confined to your inner house, caring for your husband and raising your children.

What a pity.
