spend time

Liu Hengchang reacted very quickly and said immediately: "The princess has misunderstood, and I will never disrespect the princess."

He just felt a little bit regretful.

Jiang Shaohua's bright black eyes, which seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, fell quietly on Liu Hengchang's face: "I have no intention of questioning you, General Liu, and there is no need to panic."

"General Liu was born as a general, and he has acquired his skills since elementary school. He is a good man, and he has his own ambitions and ambitions as a man. When he came to Nanyang County, he wanted to make a difference under his grandfather's command. But my grandfather left early, and I was only ten years old. Girl, it is not easy to take charge of Nanyang County. It is inevitable that people will be upset."

"General Liu has some doubts and uneasiness about the future and his future. This is human nature. I, the Princess, understand that."

"I also ask General Liu to work with peace of mind and give me three to five years. By then, even if I want to drive General Liu away, General Liu will be reluctant to leave Nanyang County."

Liu Hengchang has always had a city, and his joy and anger are invisible. At this moment, his expression is constantly changing, which shows that his mood is agitated.

He wanted to say something, but when he looked into the princess's understanding black eyes, he felt that he should say nothing more.

The princess lowered herself and said these heartfelt words to him, which showed that she valued him. No matter what he says, he will go too far.

"The princess's words have been recorded by the general." Finally, Liu Hengchang cupped his hands and responded: "The general is loyal, please take note of the princess."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and personally reached out to help Liu Hengchang.

Qin Zhan, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

In this campaign against bandits, he contributed the most and got the most credit. The princess paid more attention to Liu Hengchang...

"Uncle Qin," Qin Zhan was feeling sore in his heart, but the princess looked over with a smile: "This battalion contributed the most to suppressing the bandits, and Uncle Qin was the first to do it. I, the princess, will remember these!"

Qin Zhan suddenly felt comfortable and said with a grin: "These are all things that the general should do. The family of the general, young and old, are all raised by the princess, and they should live and die for the princess."

"The general is different from those people who have too many thoughts. The general will be a member of the Nanyang Palace all his life. Even if the general dies on the battlefield one day, the general will have sons and grandsons in the future. They will succeed me. , continue to serve the county master."

Liu Hengchang: "..."

Liu Hengchang often listened to the words of people like Qin Zhan who were pushing him, but he remained calm and calm.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said a few words: "Don't talk about life and death in the future. I don't want to hear it. Also, everyone is from the guard camp, no matter who comes first or who comes first."

Qin Zhan was not annoyed when the princess yelled at him, and he smiled and agreed.

The two of them said goodbye together, and then led the soldiers back to the military camp on horseback. When it gets dark, the general will rush back to the Guards barracks.

Meng Dashan came out to greet him in person and glared at Qin Zhan jealously: "I'll let you go this time. Next time there is a mission to suppress bandits, our second battalion will have to go."

The suppression of the bandits was a great success, and the soldiers who went out to fight were rewarded generously. The soldiers who stayed behind in the barracks also received half of their rewards. However, what he cares about is not the gold and silver rewards, but the glory of going out to fight against bandits.

Qin Zhan looked complacent: "Lao Meng, it's useless for you to tell me this. I'm not fighting with you. It was the princess who appointed our battalion to suppress the bandits. I think the princess also understood in her heart that the combat power of a battalion The strongest."

"Bah! He's so capable, and he even lent us the archers from the second battalion." Meng Dashan laughed half-seriously, feeling really sour in his heart.

Liu Hengchang remained silent as usual and returned to the third camp first.

Qin Zhan tugged on Meng Dashan's sleeve: "Come on, come to our tent and have a drink and talk." After three rounds of drinking, Qin Zhan finished the whole story of suppressing the bandits. The princess learned what Liu Hengchang said.

When Meng Dashan heard this, the wine in his hand lost its taste, and he put down the glass with a bang. His tone showed anger and dissatisfaction: "If this Liu Hengchang dares to be disloyal to the princess, I will not be the first to spare him!"

Qin Zhan poured wine for Meng Dashan: "I didn't feel well after hearing these words at the time. However, after riding on horseback this afternoon and blowing the cold wind for half a day, my mind became clearer."

"You and I are both old men in the palace, and we will never betray the princess. After all, Liu Hengchang came later, and he only arrived in the military camp for four years. Once the prince left, the princess is now the master of the house. Liu Hengchang is not stable, and he cannot be blamed entirely. .”

"The princess attaches such great importance to wooing him. It seems that she has taken a fancy to his abilities. You and I should be more polite to him in the future. Don't cause disputes and embarrass the princess."

Meng Dashan nodded, clinked glasses with Qin Zhan, and continued drinking.

"The sooner we build the military camp, the better." Qin Zhan said in a low voice: "In my opinion, although the princess is young, she is very ambitious and has a plan in mind."

Meng Dashan hummed: "We don't have to think too much. Whatever the princess asks us to do, we just do it."

After a pause, Meng Dashan continued: "When the first battalion came back today, they brought many women with them. These are all from the bandit's den. How will they be settled in the future?"

"Let's all go to the kitchen." Qin Zhan raised his eyebrows: "There are eight more female bandits. The princess will spare them the death penalty, but they will not be able to escape the punishment of life. From now on, let them do the heavy work in the military camp. Those who can hold on will live. , Those who can’t stand it tell fortunes.”

"By the way, there is another one named Kong Qingwan. She is from a noble family and is literate. The princess specially ordered us to select some people from the camp and let Miss Kong teach them how to read."

……

On this side, Liu Hengchang was also drinking in the military tent. Accompanying Liu Hengchang were several confidants who came to Nanyang with Liu Hengchang back then.

"After a great victory, why is the general still worried?"

"Is the general feeling bored and unhappy? The princess is a little girl after all. With the general's ability, it is indeed a bit aggrieved to stay in the guard camp."

"If you want to leave, make plans in advance! The rest of us will follow the general anyway."

"That's right! We will go wherever the general goes!"

Liu Hengchang came back to his senses, frowned and glared at a few of his confidants who spoke freely: "You are not allowed to say such nonsense in the future. Although the princess is young, she is wise and decisive, treats me generously, and treats me with respect and courtesy. How could I, Liu Hengchang, not know good from evil, let alone leave the guard camp at will?"

Two of these close confidants who were following the expedition this time nodded their heads after hearing this. They have long ears and heard what the princess said to her general today.

Anyone else would be greatly shocked.

The three people who stayed behind in the barracks looked at each other, wondering why Liu Hengchang had changed so much.

Liu Hengchang didn't say much, and only told him again: "Give me a good job and do your job, and don't complain or say weird things."

All the cronies nodded in agreement.
