Chapter 849
"You're still stubborn when you're about to die!" The person opposite didn't pay attention to the attacks of the old generals at all, and swung his big knife away with a single sword strike.

The eyes of the old generals flickered slightly, and they knew that they had encountered a killer who specialized in killing for a living.

"Old General, for the sake of serving the country and the people all your life, I'll leave you a whole body!" the killer posing as Deputy General Liu said arrogantly.

"You're very arrogant, but it's not so easy to kill me!" The old generals grinned and pushed Heizi beside him out.

Heizi, who was suddenly pushed out, staggered and was almost injured by the sword of the opposite person, but luckily he dodged in time.

"Old general, you are always too insidious." Heizi spat angrily.

Seeing this, the killer pretending to be Deputy General Liu squinted his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly, "This kid has good agility, but it's a pity, he's going to die as well!"

"It's not certain who will die!" After Heizi finished speaking, he disappeared in a flash, and before the killer pretending to be Vice General Liu could react, he directly sealed his throat with a sword.

"You..." The killer pretending to be Lieutenant General Liu covered his bleeding neck and looked at Heizi in horror.

The deal was originally very secure, unexpectedly there are such powerful figures in the team of the old generals, he was deceived by those old fellows.

But he had no chance to trouble them, and fell to the ground lifelessly.

The old generals stared at their cloudy eyes, and let out a soft snort in depression.

Heizi originally thought that he could draw with this person, but unexpectedly he killed him in just one face-to-face meeting.

Ah, how boring a fight scene ends like that.

At this time, the old generals suddenly shouted: "Soldiers, I am here to help you kill the enemy together!"

"Old general, the enemies were all killed by us and the shadow guards sent by the prince, do you always want to bury the corpses with us?" A young soldier aged seventeen or eighteen asked foolishly.

The choked old faces of the old generals turned black, put the big knife in their hand into the scabbard, and slapped the young soldier on the head.

"How dare I ask Lao Tzu to do such a trivial matter as burying a corpse with you, I deserve a beating!"

The young soldier rubbed his head and grinned at the old generals, "Didn't you always say that you would come to help us?"

"You're out of your mind, aren't you?" The old generals rolled up their sleeves, and the young soldiers ran away in fright.

At this time, Heichou came out from the darkness, stood in front of the old generals and said: "Old general, I'm really sorry, Vice General Liu went to have a rest earlier, when I rushed over, he was already killed by this man on the ground .”

The old general sighed softly, looked at the killer on the ground whose throat was sealed by Heizi's sword, and said in a muffled voice, "Vice General Liu has been by my side for several years, and he didn't die on the battlefield, but was caught by this thief..."

The voices of the old generals were choked up, and they covered their faces and turned their backs. After a long time, they said, "Please buy a coffin before dawn. I want to transport Vice General Liu's body back to the southwest and give it to his family."

In the next few days, the whole team stepped up their horses and rushed back to the southwest in four days after the original six-day journey.

Zhu Ziran and Zhu Zi'an brothers personally rode horses to greet them at the city gate, seeing a coffin being transported in the procession from a distance, their faces turned pale with fright.

"Grandpa..." The two brothers rode forward together, only to find that the old generals were walking behind the team.

"Grandpa, you're back." Zhu Zi'an was young, as soon as he jumped off his horse, he rushed into the arms of old general Zhu.

The old general loved this little grandson very much, so he picked him up and asked, "Do you miss grandpa?"

"Well, I miss Grandpa." However, Zhu Zi'an, who was six or seven years old, still couldn't learn to slander others, put his arms around the necks of the old generals, looked at the coffin in front of him, and asked:
"Grandpa, who's in there?"

The old general Zhu's face darkened, and he stroked Zhu Zi'an's head gently, "That's Vice General Liu."

"Liu... Uncle Liu!" Zhu Zi'an's face turned pale, tears welling up.

Zhu Zi'an's riding and shooting were all taught by Deputy General Liu himself. Although he was not a master and apprentice, he had the friendship of a master and an apprentice.

"However, you and An'er will follow me to send Vice General Liu's coffin back to the Liu Mansion." The old generals said in a muffled voice, and then stopped talking.

"Yes." Zhu Ziran didn't say much, got off his horse and followed the old general.

Beijing.

These days, the court is not peaceful.

In the list provided by Xie Chun before, many officials lost their official positions, and many positions were vacated at once.

All forces want to take advantage of this to arrange their own people to replace them, and they fight each other openly and secretly, but it is easy for Yue Xia.

Taking advantage of the fact that all forces are calculating their own interests, he promotes officials who have real skills in the court and are willing to benefit the people.

By the time the various forces got the news, Nangong Xun's imperial decree had already been issued.

After the morning court ended that day, Hua Mancai did not leave the palace with Li Yan and the others, but followed behind Yue Xia.

Yue Xia glanced at him and didn't say much, knowing his intention of following.

"Your Highness, I heard that the Crown Princess brought Xue'er to the capital, how many days will it take?" Hua Mancai asked eagerly.

Yue Xia, who was walking forward with her hands behind her back, was slender and tall, like a Lanzhi jade tree, with a light and wind like the moon.

"I don't know." Yue Xia said coldly, making it clear that she didn't want to tell Hua Mancai.

"Your Highness and the Crown Princess are inseparable, how could you not know it!" Hua Mancai was in a hurry, and his tone of voice was a little rushed.

Yue Xia didn't care too much, anyway, Hua Mancai couldn't calm down when encountering Mei Xue's matter.

"I have a lot of work to do in this palace, and I haven't talked to the princess for a long time." These days, Yue Xia was so busy that he left the East Palace every day before Hua Qian woke up, and didn't come back until Hua Qian fell asleep at night.

The corner of Hua Mancai's mouth twitched, feeling that Yue Xia's words were a bit exaggerated.

Who doesn't know that the crown prince loves the crown princess so much.

Especially after the incident of concubine selection, the rumor that the prince dotes on the princess not only spread in the palace, but also in the streets and alleys of the capital.

After Hua Mancai and Li Yan knew about the rumor, they were still worried that it would affect Yue Xia's reputation as the crown prince.

Unexpectedly, the people in Beijing, especially women, learned that His Highness the Crown Prince favors only the Crown Princess, and all of them had green eyes, wishing that they were the Crown Princess herself.

When they went to the streets, they often heard women educate their husbands by saying that the prince only favors the princess, and even educate their daughters to find a good man like the prince if they want to find a husband in the future.

In short, Yue Xia's reputation has not been damaged at all, but has won the support of many people.

Of course, there are those who support it, and there are also those who secretly curse.

Those who curse are mainly men.

With the crown prince Yue Xia as an example, no matter how good the conditions are for a man who wants to marry a wife, if there are concubines and concubines in the family, the woman's family or the woman will refuse.

I'm afraid that those who spread the rumors should be so regretful now that their intestines are green!

"Your Highness, if your supporters in Beijing hear your words, I'm afraid you will be disappointed!" Hua Mancai joked.

Yue Xia is naturally aware of what happened in Beijing.

"In order not to disappoint them, I will stay with the Crown Princess in the East Palace this afternoon, and leave the finishing work to Mrs. Hua." Yue Xia raised his mouth slightly and strode away.
