Fengjing, the imperial city.

The King of Chu, Zhao Shuo, was strolling, and his genius had just dawned. In the imperial city, except for some eunuchs who got up early to clean, the palace maids and concubines may have just gotten up at this time. The huge imperial city seemed a little quiet.

Zhao Shuo's expression was still so gloomy, as if nothing could arouse his interest.

Some time ago, King Zhao Xun of Qi was granted the title of Jing Zhao Yin, while King Zhao Shuo of Chu was sent to the south of the Yangtze River by Zhao Zhi to patrol on behalf of the emperor. However, Zhao Shuo kept delaying and never made any move. Yesterday, Zhao Zhixuan Zhao Shuo entered the palace to supervise

He set off as soon as possible and headed to Jiangnan. Recently, several governors of Jiangnan prefectures and counties secretly reported Zhao Zhi to impeach Hong, Jiang Jiedushi, and Zhao Bo'an, the king of Hong'an County, saying that he was raising dead soldiers privately and had evil intentions. In this regard,

Zhao Zhi was greatly shocked and could not directly question Zhao Bo'an. The two were sworn brothers, and Zhao Bo'an had an important position in Jiangnan. Zhao Zhi would not easily convict Zhao Bo'an before there was conclusive evidence, so he asked Zhao Shuo to immediately

Rush to Jiangnan to find out the situation in the name of inspection.

There are dozens of prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is a secret investigation of Zhao Bo'an or a real inspection on behalf of the emperor, after completing these things, it will take only a few months to complete, and you will definitely not be able to come back. You will be gone for several months.

Yu Li and Zhao Shuo both wanted to enter the palace to say goodbye to their mother, Concubine Yang.

Zhao Shuo walked out of Concubine Yang's palace. The eunuch who was guarding outside couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him coming out. How long had it been? He didn't even have a quarter of an hour to leave?

This eunuch is not an old man from Concubine Yang's palace, but he has been on duty here for more than two years. The number of times Chu King Zhao Shuo came here to pay homage to Concubine Yang is so rare that he can count it on one hand, and every time

He came in a hurry and left in a very short time, as if coming to visit his mother was just a perfunctory response for King Zhao Shuo of Chu.

Zhao Shuo came closer, and the eunuch quickly bowed and saluted, calling His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but Zhao Shuo didn't even look at him, as if he didn't exist at all, and walked straight past.

The eunuch gave a bitter smile and followed quickly, lowering his head and just walking his own way. How could he dare to talk nonsense if Zhao Shuo didn't speak.

Walking forward for a while, there was an arch bridge not far away. On the bridge, stood a familiar figure. It was Princess Yue. At this moment, Zhao Yue was standing there quietly, looking at the people under the bridge with her eyes without luster.

She couldn't see the flowing water, but her mind at this moment was like the flowing water under the bridge, undulating and cold.

Zhao Shuo stopped, looked at Zhao Yue, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Don't follow me."

Immediately, Zhao Shuo walked towards Zhao Yue.

A palace maid next to Zhao Yue saw Zhao Shuo walking towards this side, so she quickly leaned into Zhao Yue's ear and whispered a reminder.

Zhao Yue turned around and looked at Zhao Shuo with her eyes that had no other brilliance except the dark night.

"Is it Brother Shuo?"

"it's me."

Zhao Shuo raised his hand, paused, and finally touched Zhao Yue's head. There was a trace of a brother's love for his sister on his cold face.

"Yue'er, you seem unhappy. Who made you so angry? Tell me and Third Brother will vent his anger on you."

Zhao Yue shook her head: "Yue'er is not unhappy."

Zhao Shuo was silent, and after a moment, he said softly: "Is it because of Zhang Yuan?"

Zhao Yue lowered her head and said softly: "I don't like him."

Zhao Shuo nodded and said silently: "No one can force you to do something you don't like..."

"Not even my father."

This last sentence was spoken in a very low voice, so low that perhaps only Zhao Shuo himself could hear it.

Zhao Shuo finally reached out and pinched Zhao Yue's face gently, turned around and left without any words.

"Brother King Chu, you are still so cold."

Zhao Yue stared at Zhao Shuo's back, as if she saw him leaving.

The maid on the side whispered: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu usually rarely speaks and ignores everyone. Only when he meets you, princess, will he say a few words like this."

"Brother King Chu is also a pitiful man."

Zhao Yue shook her head and sighed softly: "Let's go back."

Outside the imperial city, there was a carriage with dozens of strong soldiers standing quietly. Zhao Shuo walked out. Everyone immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness, King Chu."

Zhao Shuo still looked like that, without any words, he got directly into the carriage. The groom took the horse's rope and was about to drive the carriage away when Zhao Shuo's voice came from the car: "I want Zhang Yuan's information as soon as possible."

The groom had the same temperament as Zhao Shuo. He didn't say a word, just nodded, then raised the horse rope and drove the carriage away.

In Wuzhou, with the introduction of a series of policies, in terms of land distribution, legal enforcement standards, etc., Li Xun tried his best to achieve a bowl of water, and with the guidance of the moderate church leaders, the foreigners in the three states of Longyou West Road

The mood of the people has completely calmed down, and the stability of the situation in Wuzhou has given Li Xun more time to pay attention to more things.

Li Xun led more than a hundred soldiers to Xiazhou.

Before coming, Li Xun didn't notify anyone. He didn't like the scene of people shouting in front of each other and flying to greet Yuan He. Therefore, he didn't notify Yuan He in advance until he arrived at the city gate. The officers guarding the city saw him.

When Li Xun arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "General, I will see you at the end of your visit to the Commander-in-Chief."

"Get up, no need to be polite."

The officer stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Captain, please come into the city. I will go immediately to inform General Yuan."

Li Xun waved his hand and said, "I'm not here for Yuan He, but I want to see the training of new recruits. Where is Li Cunxiao now?"

The officer thought for a while and said: "From the time the city gate opened until now, it has been guarded by the last general. General Li left the city two hours ago and has not seen him come back since. He should still be in the new barracks now."

Li Xun nodded and ordered Hou Quan to lead the soldiers into the city first, and then just led Jiang Daxiong and Ouyang Li towards the new barracks.

In the new barracks, Lei Wanhai is currently in the logistics warehouse, counting various supplies.

When the inspection battalion was established, the first soldier recruited was Lei Wanhai, who was among the first to follow Li Xun.

Lei Wanhai didn't read many books, but he had a very stable character, a strong body, and quite a lot of force. He was loyal to Li Xun and worked hard. Li Xun valued him very much. After the riot, Li Xun did some meritorious service for him and promoted him to a higher level.

He rose to the first level and became a general. Later, after the recruitment of new soldiers was completed and training began, Li Xun separated him from the personal barracks and went to Xiazhou to assist Sima Zhong in training new soldiers. The new personal soldier captain in the personal barracks,
