After I was reborn, I was scumbag

Chapter 48

Hearing this, Yang Ling's face showed almost fanatical joy: "Please show me how we should deploy next."

"It's very simple. When the two armies start fighting, I will order the Lingnan Army to pretend to be invincible and retreat back to the Miaojiang jungle."

"Qing and others only need to make Liang Guo's army pursue the victory and step into the trap I designed step by step, and naturally these elite troops will be wiped out."

Murong Xing raised his phoenix eyes slightly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I heard that the battlefield in Miaojiang is different from the desert in the northwest, full of swamp miasma. Are you completely sure that you can wipe out Liang Guo's army in Miaojiang?"

"This is natural. Prince Murong doesn't have to worry about how to ambush." ​​Yuan Qiong chuckled lightly, his face full of vigor, "Your Majesty only needs to bring Liang Guo's army into the land of Miaojiang, and I can guarantee that they will come and go. !"

"That's good." Murong Xing nodded slightly, the cold light in his eyes flashed away, "It's just that I still have a concern, I hope you can clarify."

"My son, but it doesn't matter."

"Even if the [-] troops in Lingnan are wiped out this time, Prince Shaoguan still has troops from the northwest."

"Compared to the soldiers who haven't fought in the inland cities for many years, the people in the northwest are more martial, and all the sergeants can fight three with one. How do you plan to deal with it?"

Yuan Qiong heard the words, but there was not much fluctuation on his face, he just gave Murong Xing a playful look, and said jokingly: "The prince is really a heartless person, no wonder there are so many young girls in Chang'an City, none of them can catch the eyes of the prince."

"When you become a prince in the future, you will naturally have no shortage of beauties, so why rush for a while. Do you think so?"

"Hahaha... Your Excellency is right." Yuan Qiong clapped his palms and smiled, "Your Excellency thinks that if the crown prince is abolished, to whom will the military power in the Northwest be handed over?"

"If the prince is abolished, with the suspicious character of the Emperor Liang, I'm afraid he won't be able to appoint a new coach for the time being. The gap in the middle is indeed an opportunity for us to take advantage of. I don't know how you plan to let Shao Guan's Has the crown prince changed hands?"

"I came to see the crown prince tonight, on the one hand, because of the matter of Lingnan, and on the other hand, I came to discuss with the crown prince, and planned to let the emperor of Liang Guo himself abolish the crown prince."

Murong Xing's hands under the sleeves trembled, and immediately clenched into fists.The handsome face that was carved with a knife and ax was still indifferent, without any waves.

"Please also make it clear."

"Actually, I have already arranged the troops, and I can decapitate Prince Liang at any time. But... watching Liang's royal family kill each other is much more enjoyable than doing it myself!"

"After the first battle between the Liang army and the Lingnan army, I would like to ask the son to rush back to Chang'an overnight."

Yuan Qiong smiled slightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"At that time, you had been separated for so many days. I think His Royal Highness should miss your son..."

Ten days later, Daliang's first battle against the Lingnan rebellion ended with the Lingnan army abandoning the city and being defeated.

The good news came back to Chang'an, and the tense and dull atmosphere in the palace suddenly relaxed.

Emperor Liang was still a little worried that Yang Ling, a civil servant who had never led a soldier, would be defeated.Now that he has received the good news of great joy, he has swept away his gloomy look for the past few months, and has given a lot of rewards to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Even the East Palace and the residences of several princes also received gold, silver and jade wares.

"Your Highness, this is the Ye Mingzhu from the South China Sea. I heard that among the several princes, only the East Palace has received this reward!"

Dong Jiu handed the reward list to the young man sitting behind the table and writing a letter. Seeing that Shao Guan didn't respond, he asked curiously, "Your Highness has been busy for half a day. Are there so many papers today?"

"All the papers have been approved, and I am writing a letter to Prince Murong alone." Shao Guan pursed his lips and chuckled, slowly picked up the letter paper, and dried the ink on the paper. Is it all right?"

"Your Highness, you brought so many medicines to the son back then, how could you fail to take care of them!"

Shao Guan was noncommittal: "Where is that Ye Mingzhu?"

Dong Jiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly ordered someone to fetch the key to the treasury: "Report to Your Highness, all the rewards are stored in the treasury. Your Highness wants the Ye Mingzhu, and this servant will go get it."

"Choose the two best ones and send them to Pingxihou's Mansion. Remember to pay homage to the old Marquis on behalf of Gu."

Although Dong Jiu didn't know why His Royal Highness suddenly thought of sending things to Pingxihou Mansion, but since Shao Guan gave the order, he had no reason not to obey.

"The servant will do it right now—then this letter?"

Shao Guan's handsome eyebrows were dyed with the warm sun, and he looked extremely beautiful: "Xin, you order the secret guards to deliver it. Be careful, don't let others know."

It was about time for dinner, and Dong Jiu brought the young man from Pingxihou Mansion who came to thank him into the East Palace.

The boy was wearing a felt hat, the brim of the hat was pressed down, and he bent over slightly, looking cautious.

"The slave is under the orders of the Marquis, thank you Your Highness for your kindness."

"Your Majesty's case has shocked Lord Hou. Now, His Majesty is sending some things to the Marquis of Pingxi's mansion alone for the sake of the lieutenant general who is going to fight in Lingnan. It is also appropriate."

Shao Guan took a sip from the teacup on the side, and raised his hand to signal the boy to get up: "Go back and tell Lord Hou, just say——"

His bright peach blossom eyes startled suddenly when he saw the boy's face, and then Shao Guan quickly blinked his eyes to hide his strange expression.

"Just to say, Master Hou is too polite. When the son returns from the expedition, Gu will definitely come to the mansion in person to pay a visit to Master Hou."

The young man emphasized the pronunciation of the words "back from the expedition", stared at the kneeling servant without any trace, and coughed lightly.

"Dong Jiu, step back first, I still have some things to ask him."

As soon as Dong Jiu closed the palace door and exited, Shao Guan's tense face suddenly relaxed, showing a bit of helpless surprise.

"Murong Xing, why did you suddenly return to Chang'an——does Emperor Father know about this?"

The kneeling servant stood up slowly, and with a light tug on his temples with his slender fingers, he tore off a thin mask that imitated human skin, revealing Murong Xing's handsome face with sharp edges and corners.

Murong Xing didn't directly respond to Shao Guan's question, but curled his lips, stepped forward a few steps, and asked softly, "How did Your Highness see that it was me pretending to be a servant?"

"You forgot, you wore this mask in the previous life on my birthday when I was weak."

At that time, because of the cumbersome etiquette of the coronation ceremony, he had to live in the palace constantly and receive officials from the Ministry of Rituals, so he didn't have time to meet Murong Xing for several days.

However, after the coronation ceremony was over, he found out that the servant carrying the crown following the Minister of Rites was actually Murong Xing wearing a mask.

For so many days, Murong Xing has been by his side all the time, just like the promise made by the young man, as long as he needs, he will always be by his side.

Murong Xing looked at the look of nostalgia on Shao Guan's face, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Since Your Highness even remembers this matter...could it be possible that you forgot the appointment with me to enjoy the flowers in summer?"
