There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 182 Don't Cry
"His Royal Highness, this is a death penalty for collaborating with the enemy and treason. Once it is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous!" The eyes of several staff members were full of fear of death.

"What are you afraid of? It's just [-] shi of grain, and the sky will fall, and I will be there to support it!" Xia Houyan squinted her long and narrow eyes, and said in an extremely arrogant tone.

Several staff members looked at each other, hesitating.

"Hmph! If you are really scared, I won't force you. Go and get 100 taels of silver by yourself and go back to Beijing!"

"No! The villain swears to follow the Fourth Highness!" A confidant and staff member knelt down first.

"That's right, the villain's life is not worth mentioning. If His Highness didn't appreciate it, I wouldn't know where the villain is right now?" Another staff member immediately knelt down.

Everyone else agreed.

Xia Houyan laughed for a while, and helped them up one by one: "As expected, you are all my confidantes. You really did not disappoint me. Don't worry, when this matter is completed, your benefits will be indispensable!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A few poor staff members have been brainwashed, excitedly fantasizing about everything in the future.

……

In the middle of the night that day, it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. Two figures flew out from a certain tent and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

The next day, the enemy camp knew the location of the [-] stone grain and grass, and even figured out who was guarding it.

The barbarian tribes who got the news inexplicably did not believe it, and sent people to investigate after tentatively left and right. After coming and going, they connected with Xia Houyan's people, and the two sides tentatively exchanged information with each other, quietly, and the world did not know.

"You didn't reveal your whereabouts, did you?"

Looking at the men in black kneeling in front of him, Xia Houyan looked serious.

"No, absolutely not, please rest assured, Your Highness, we are all fake except the person is real, even this face is fake!"

While talking, the man in black tore off the human skin mask on his face. Under the mask were completely different facial features.

"Your Highness, our trick is called Mingxiu plank road to cover Chen Cang secretly. Doesn't the prince want to fight? We cut off his food. Doesn't he want to make meritorious service? Let's label him collaborating with the enemy and treason, but I don't know. He can't stand it!"

Hearing these words, Xia Houyan's frowning eyebrows finally eased.

"Hahaha... good! You are all good, this king will never treat you badly!"

In this battle, it was his credit to win, and it was Xia Houjue's fault if he lost. He could attack or defend, no matter how he planned, he would never make a mistake.

……

On the third day after Xia Houyan came to Yongguan City, another battle on the front line kicked off.

During this period, in order to show his talents, he specially donated the five thousand elite soldiers he brought with him.

"Fourth brother really has a heart! Thank you for the soldiers on the front line alone!" Xia Houjue smiled.

"Third brother's words are too polite, shouldn't we brothers be united in front of the enemy?" Xia Houyan behaved politely and virtuously.

Xia Houjue raised his eyebrows: "Gu really thinks so! And you... not necessarily."

He smiled coldly, took the soldier talisman and strode away.

"you!"

Xia Houyan turned pale and wanted to chase out of the big tent, but finally stopped and slammed his fist on the pillar.

'Damn it, did he know something? ! '

'No, no, how could he know it in such a concealed manner, absolutely impossible! '

Xia Houyan looked at the direction where Xia Houjue was leaving, her eyes were red and bloodthirsty.

"I want to see how long you can be arrogant? One day, I will let you kneel in front of me and beg for my forgiveness!" He gritted his teeth word by word.

"It's just that I was careless this time..." He began to regret in his heart that he shouldn't have lent elite soldiers to Xia Houjue.

If that person really had any bad intentions, he might not be able to gain the upper hand without soldiers in his hands. It was really a mistake.

When Xia Houyan was extremely remorseful, Xia Houjue didn't care.

In fact, if it wasn't for the soldiers on the front line to shed less blood, he wouldn't bother to take his soldiers away.

To deal with Xia Houyan, he didn't need to do this at all.

……

The frontline battle lasted for three days and three nights, and Tang Wanning did not sleep a wink for three days and three nights.

After a few days, her eyes turned red, which made Xia Houjue feel distressed.

"You don't have to worry, everything is up to me." Xia Houjue was a little worried, but Tang Wanning shook her head.

"I'm fine, maybe it's... maybe I won't be able to sleep when I suddenly get nervous, don't worry, I'll go to sleep when I'm sleepy!" She was a little absent-minded.

"If you're worried, how about I take someone to the front line to have a look?" Xia Houjue stroked the back of her hand, seeing that she didn't intend to shake it off, then carefully put her hand into her palm.

A warm current flowed into her heart, Tang Wanning glanced at him uncomfortably, but shook her head after all.

"No! You are the prince. You must not go to the front line. In fact, it is against the rules for you to sit in the rear. It is said that you should leave here immediately!" Tang Wanning said decisively.

"Are you afraid that the emperor will be suspicious?"

"no!"

"why?"

"Because you are the crown prince of a country, others can have accidents, but you can't. You are the future of the Great Xia Dynasty!" She looked at him solemnly, with light in her eyes.

Xia Houjue looked back at her, eyes also full of shock.

It was the first time he heard such words, it was very strange, but it was worrying.

Moved, he pulled her into his arms, and Tang Wanning pressed her sideways face to his chest.

Three days later, good news came from the front line. The Great Xia Dynasty general Tang Zhenxiao and his son joined the battle. Once again, they made great achievements, repelled the enemy for more than a hundred miles, and captured the two sons of the barbarian tribe chief Tulu as prisoners.

When the news came out, the whole city rejoiced, and the common people spontaneously gathered outside the gate of the general's mansion and shouted 'Heroes!hero! ...', deafening, endless.

"Father and my brothers won!" Tang Wanning burst into tears, and her body went limp in front of her eyes.

"Wanwan!" Xia Houjue supported her and carefully protected her lying on the bed.

"Finally won, finally..." Tang Wanning recalled that when she was a child, her mother did the same thing when her father went to war, and she seemed to finally understand.

People, after all, the bigger you are, the more afraid you are of losing.

It's not like when she was a child, she still followed the common people to call her father a hero, jumping around happily, proudly triumphant, only looking forward to the day when her father went to war again...

Then she can chase after him and call a hero again, accepting the smiling love and all kinds of generous gifts from the common people in the city.

Right or wrong, the fact is, she still can't go back after all.

"Don't cry! Don't cry!" Xia Houjue was completely at a loss.

He searched for Zilian's words over and over again in his mind, but none of them came in handy, and he was slightly annoyed.

If I had known earlier, I should have redeemed the woman and brought him with me, and taught him hand in hand.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.
