Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 459 Observation
The prince frowned and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Gongsun Jing smiled and said: "Actually, His Highness's name and reputation are all on His Highness's side. As long as His Highness makes Prince Ning and his son feel the sincerity, why should they not support His Highness?"

Gongsun Jing knew better than the prince the important role that Prince Ning could play in the prince's smooth ascent to the throne, so even if it would offend the prince, Gongsun Jing had to speak out.

Although the prince is very masculine, he loves power even more, so under Gongsun Jing's persuasion, the prince really gave up the idea of ​​letting Xiao Ze's female lie under him, and only thought about how to make Ning The prince and his son pulled into their camp.

Using himself to judge others, the prince felt that his cousin Xiao Ze must have some incomparable desire to be Prince Ning's heir and inherit the throne, so he decided to use this to win over Xiao Ze.

Today Xiao Ze is leading a team to inspect the capital as usual.In fact, with his current status, he can sit comfortably in the five cities of Bingma Division and order his general banner to lead a team to patrol.But Xiao Ze refused to be lazy, and still led a group of soldiers in leather armor to walk on the streets of the capital.

In the late spring and early summer, the capital city was already quite hot. Xiao Ze and his soldiers put on their armor and walked for more than an hour. Everyone was tired and hot, and they were panting with their tongues out on the shady street corner. Dead Dog is really a fight.

"Third son, there is a teahouse in front, let's take a break and have some tea to relax, it's going to be hot to death before June." A sergeant with his face covered in sweat ran to Xiao Ze's side and pressed the The saber at his waist said out of breath.

Xiao Ze was also very hot, if he hadn't had internal strength foundation, he might have passed out from the heat right now.He turned around to look at the sergeants under him, and saw that everyone was sweating profusely, and the faces of a few thin sergeants were a little pale, and they might not be able to hold on if they didn't stop. "Okay, everyone go to have tea. After this shift, I will invite everyone to Deyifang to drink mutton soup." Xiao Ze said loudly.

The listless sergeants immediately cheered when they heard this, and flocked to the not-so-big tea room, shouting, "Little Er, pour tea quickly..."

A half-sized man with a white handkerchief on his shoulders ran out quickly, and welcomed Xiao Ze and others into the teahouse. Another man in his 40s came running over with a large copper teapot and poured tea while He poured tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has worked hard!"

Xiao Ze smiled, took off the helmet and put it aside, the Doctor Tea knelt down and cried out in surprise when he saw Xiao Ze: "Ah, it's Lord Xiao, my villain, please greet him."

Xiao Ze took a closer look, couldn't help but also laughed, and asked familiarly: "Cheng Bao, why is it you? When did you open a teahouse here? Those people didn't bother you anymore, right? Get up quickly."

The owner of this teahouse is called Cheng Bao. He used to run a teahouse at the east gate, but because he didn't pay enough protection fees for a while, his stall was smashed. It happened that day when Xiao Ze was inspecting the east gate, he met a man, and he rescued Cheng Bao. , Only then did Cheng Bao get his life back.Dongmen couldn't stay any longer, Chengbao had a leg problem and couldn't do other things, so he could only transfer to Ximen's side and continue to open a tea shop, earning hundreds of Wen a day to make ends meet.

Cheng Bao stood up, waved and called, "Zhu'er, come and kowtow to benefactor."

The middle-aged man with the white towel on his shoulder hurriedly came over to kowtow to Xiao Ze, and Cheng Bao said from the side: "Master Xiao, this is Cheng Zhu, the villain's son. Zhu Er, this is the benefactor who saved my father, give it to me quickly." Benedict kowtows."

Xiao Ze said with a smile: "Get up, it is our duty to maintain law and order in the capital, so there is no need to thank you."

Cheng Zhu lay on the ground and banged his head three times before getting up.His voice was so crisp that the sergeants sitting beside him laughed and said that he was a solid-eyed boy.

Cheng Bao poured tea for everyone, and asked his son to wash a large plate of crisp peaches. These peaches were grown on his own tree. He originally planned to sell them to supplement the family income. Now that he met his benefactor, Cheng Bao would not sell the peaches either. Alright, first wash a plate for Engong to try, and prepare the rest for Engong to take back home for the family to try.It is not yet the season when peaches are on the market, so this plate of fresh peaches is quite rare.Of course, this is for ordinary people like Chengbao.It was nothing to Xiao Ze, as early as April, he had already eaten this year's new peaches.

Although it was not rare, Xiao Ze still accepted it with a smile. This was Cheng Bao's wish, and he would feel bad if he didn't reap it.But Xiao Ze would not take these peaches in vain, he had already given the button a wink, and the button understood, and would quietly leave enough money for tea and peaches.Xiao Ze has been traveling in the capital for the past six months, and he already knows that people's life is not easy.This crate of fresh peaches can be sold for three taels of silver, which is not worth mentioning to him, but it is enough for Chengbao's family to chew for two months.

After eating tea, the spirit strength of all the soldiers recovered a lot, Xiao Ze led them back to make inspections, perhaps because he thought that he could eat the mutton cake from Deyifang at noon, all the soldiers walked much faster , everyone felt that their mouths were overflowing with saliva, and their saliva was almost dripping down.

Finally returned to the Wucheng soldiers and horses to hand over their shifts, and all the soldiers took off their armor, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The weather is so hot, and it is not easy to walk back and forth for two hours in such a suit of clothes.

"Third Young Master..." Several sergeants who were already familiar with Xiao Ze ran up to Xiao Ze shyly and shouted.

Xiao Ze smiled and said: "Okay, don't be so pitiful, just change your clothes and go." All the soldiers cheered, surrounded Xiao Ze and walked out of Wucheng Bingma Division.

Xiao Ze took a group of soldiers to Deyifang, this is the best restaurant in the capital for making mutton soup. In fact, the high-ranking dignitaries look down on Deyifang, which caters to ordinary people.Although Xiao Ze didn't like to eat mutton that much, but he knew that the sergeants under his command liked it, if he took them to a big restaurant, he was afraid that these people would feel uncomfortable and dare not let go of their stomachs to eat.

After entering Deyifang, the soldiers began to yell and yell. The noodle cakes with a large pot cover will be served with a chopstick first. As long as chopsticks.There is a large bowl of mutton soup for each person, and five catties of white-cut mutton are served on each table, which is sandwiched in the noodles and bitten down in one bite. It is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

All the sergeants shook off their cheeks and ate like a storm, that was a joy.Looking at it, Xiao Ze also whetted his appetite, and unknowingly drank half a bowl of mutton soup, took the noodle cake with mutton handed over by the person around him, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
