C398 Reason for not leaving

If luck was on his side, he wouldn't even be able to stop it. If not for being afraid of exposing himself, Du Changfeng really wanted to go up and give General Han a big hug. Just as he was worrying that there was no way to find Bai Qianfan, the General Han had already paved the way for him.

Although Prince Chu's army was valiant, and he was adept at sending out troops, it was true that he was not strong enough. In order to increase their military strength, the generals under the stage had to think hard and put in a lot of effort. General Han Tong gained inspiration from seeing the power of solidarity between the military and civilian that night when they were fighting together.

He wanted to gather the able-bodied men from the nearby villages and towns together for training. It could either enhance their physiques or be used as a reserve force. He wanted to be a farmer in his spare time, or a businessman in his business.

General Han only asked one question after he reported his suggestion, "Was it your idea or Du Changfeng's idea?"

"Of course it's this lowly general's idea. Du Changfeng is not bad, but he is inexperienced in the end, how could he have thought of this? "That kid is too cocky. I'm afraid he won't be happy even if I send him away."

When the Prince Chu heard him say that, he pondered for a moment, "We can give this suggestion a try. Since you came up with this idea, then you have to take responsibility. If it's feasible, you can advertise it more in the future."

The General Han accepted his orders and left.

The Crown Prince walked in, and said with a teasing tone of voice, "What is Prince Chu busy with?"

Prince Chu smiled slightly, "Second brother is the busy one. It's really hard for you to leave early and return late every day. Second brother should take care of his own body. Just let your subordinate handle such trivial matters. "

The Crown Prince laughed and said, "This is nothing compared to what I did in the East Palace. There's still a difference between a city and a country after all. "

The Crown Prince didn't like to speak too clearly. He was a smart man, he could understand the meaning easily.

Prince Chu looked at him, "Second brother, do you think I have stayed here for too long?"

The Crown Prince changed the topic, "Is there any news about the ceremony?"

"No matter what, Jiangbei is the emperor's territory. This matter can only be done secretly, I'll have Li Tianxing personally make a trip and not see Liu Xuan for the time being."

"Are you sure?"

"It's all done by man."

"I know Liu Xuan. He has a low profile and doesn't have any bad habits. He doesn't form cliques, but he's also quite close with other people. It seemed as though he didn't care about the affairs of the world. On the contrary, these people were unable to see through his thoughts. The more careful and cautious we are, the harder it will be for us to make up our minds. If we drag this matter down, it will be of no use to us. "

"What second brother means is that I should hit him?"

"With our strength, beating Liu Xuan won't be a loss. If the battle dragged on for too long, the north would have more time to fight. "The battle of Jiangbei is nothing to us, but the battle of Weishui is more important."

"If we can't fight, then let's not fight. With the former example, I'm afraid that Liu Xuan will become the second person to fight." The Su City is still in the process of recuperation and our forces are in a difficult situation. Han Tong just proposed a plan, which I think is not too bad.

The Crown Prince glanced at him, "Is there any other reason why third brother insisted on staying here?"

The Prince Chu laughed, "Why would Second Brother ask that?"

"Nothing, just asking." The Crown Prince cupped his hands and said, "I still have something to do. I'll be going first. Let's have a drink when I'm free."

Prince Chu replied and got up to send him out.

He knew why the crown prince would ask that, and why the battle stopped halfway. It was not because of his personality, the Prince Chu should have taken the opportunity to chase after him and attack him with Linan City.

What was the Crown Prince thinking? He knew very well. Actually, they should go, but the best way to avoid being hesitant was to march. Because there were too many uncertainties, too many variables, and too many accidents. He had to go anyway, even some of his old men were complaining about it, but he just couldn't make up his mind.

Perhaps it was because he wanted to understand Du Changfeng's secret, or perhaps it was because of the little bit of hope that the Tiny Star in his heart had. Along the way, there was no other city that could give him such a feeling. He had clearly checked on her absence, but he just didn't want to leave. It was as if he was always worried about this place, and he couldn't explain his inexplicable state of mind.

The Crown Prince went back to his own place and called Li Xiaolu in, "How have you been doing with Jia Tong?"

Li Xiaolu held his hands down, his fair and clear face carried a sense of respect. "Jia Tong is an open-minded person, I get along very well with him."

"Are you sure you haven't found out about the wangfei?"

"Yes, that's what Jia Tong said. He said that he was sure that the wangfei wasn't here."

The Crown Prince turned the jade ring on his index finger, "Then why is Prince Chu unwilling to open it?"

Li Xiaolu could not answer this question, and could only remain silent.

"You may leave," the Crown Prince said as he waved his hand, "Do not relax with Jia Tong. If there's any news, report to me immediately."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Li Xiaolu saluted, and turned to leave, but was stopped by the crown prince, "Has there been any news from Wang Shi? The Prince Chu said that he hadn't met Liu Xuan yet and wanted him to think of a way. "

Li Xiaolu was somewhat unsure, "Your Highness, you mean …"

"What I want is to end this quickly. I want to let him think of a way."

"Yes, this subordinate understands," Li Xiaolu cupped his hands and turned.

When Li Xiaolu left, the crown prince was still distracted. He looked at the new district plan in his hand for a long time, but he did not manage to look at anything. He threw the paper aside, got up, and walked out of the room.

The buildings in Jiangnan are called beautiful. The pavilions and pavilions are covered by the misty rain, which has a unique charm. He held his hands behind his back and walked along the corridor, slowly heading towards the backyard. After a set of Lunar Gate s, there was an exquisite pavilion, this was Miss Jiang Nan's embroidery building, and it was currently Huangfu Zhuer's residence.

A servant girl just happened to come down from upstairs, when she saw him, she hurried forward to salute him, "Your Highness."

In these past three years, they had always been by Huangfu Zhuer's side, and only separated after Huangfu Zhuer had entered the Prince Chu's Palace. This time, as they had gathered together, there were many things that Morong Gan already knew, and there was nothing that he could hide from him, so he sent them back to Huangfu Zhuer's side.

"Is the girl here?"

"The girl is upstairs."

The Crown Prince waved his hand and went upstairs. The people at the top of the narrow wooden stairs must have heard the noise and lifted the curtain. When they peeped out, they saw that it was him.

He slightly raised his hand. Separated by a bead curtain, he saw Huangfu Zhuer getting up from the Soft Couch.

With a smile on his face, he stepped into her room. "How have you been, Pearl?"

"I'm fine, Crown Prince Brother always leaves early and returns late, it's not easy to see her again." Huangfu Zhuer's voice carried a faint hint of complaint.

The Crown Prince asked, "What business do you have with me?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you." Huangfu Zhuer sighed, "I stay in the embroidery tower everyday, and it feels like I'm suffocating."

"Why didn't you go for a walk?"

"I don't know how to deal with that Lv He, she is good at talking, I don't want to quarrel with her, I don't want to make things difficult for the Third Brother."

The Crown Prince frowned, "A maid is worth your fight." He straightened his face, "You should spend more effort on Prince Chu. Do you know why he's staying here? "

Huangfu Zhuer lowered her head and did not speak. It had been a long time since she had visited Morong Gan, and the last time she saw him was in a tent outside the city. He said that he had once liked her, but now, he was in love with Bai Qianfan.

Those words had hurt her vitality and she had not recovered it yet. Therefore, she was not willing to see Morong Gan.

She hadn't told anyone about it, had buried it deep in her heart, and now that the Crown Prince was questioning her, she didn't know how to answer.

The crown prince looked at her for a long time before sighing, "Go, meet him and talk to him."
