Chapter 512 Going down the mountain
Xiao Qiao said seriously,
"Because you are good people, and Lanling Wang is a bad person, good people and bad people are enemies. This is the principle my senior brothers taught me."
"Then why is Prince Lanling a bad guy?"
"Lanling Wang bullied Xiao Qiao. He is a big villain. We must eliminate the big villain."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table burst into laughter, and even Shen Changgong couldn't help laughing.
Yan Fuyao covered her mouth and chuckled, touching her little head and said,
"Lanling Wang is indeed a bad guy, but don't be afraid, Sister Xiao Qiao. If he bullies you, we will punish him and make him afraid to bully you. How about that?"
"it is good."
Xiao Qiao smiled sweetly.
The meal was quickly finished in a happy atmosphere.
The soldiers packed up their tents and bags, and everyone began to go down the mountain.
Going down the mountain is more dangerous than going up, so it is naturally impossible to take a sedan chair.
Just as they were starting to descend the mountain, Ma Chao, the son of the Southern King Ma Ling, ran over with a delicate bamboo bird toy. He came to Xiao Qiao and said shyly,
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Qiao, who are you?"
"I am the Prince of the Southern Kingdom, my name is Ma Chao."
"Are you Persimmon?"
"Yes, it's the prince."
"What a strange name, Little Persimmon, what are you holding in your hand?"
"It's a little toy I want to give to you. It's really fun. If you hold it in your hand and run or the wind blows, it will make the sound of a bird chirping."
"Wow, this is fun."
Xiao Qiao took the bamboo bird and ran happily on the mountain steps.
Shen Changgong's face changed and he immediately shouted,
"Don't run, it's dangerous!"
Running down the stairs on the mountain path is tantamount to suicide.
However, the next second surprised everyone.
I saw Xiao Qiao's small body running back and forth on the mountain road, dodging and moving as if she were walking on flat ground.
Just do it with ease, without any danger at all.
Seeing this, Little Ma Chao said enviously,
"Wow, she's amazing."
Ma Ling took his hand and led him downstairs while saying,
"She grew up in the mountains, is very familiar with the roads, and is used to climbing up and down. You can't do that. Walk properly and don't imitate her."
"I know, Dad."
The pony nodded obediently.
Suddenly, more than a hundred meters below the stairs, Xiao Qiao stopped and waved to Xiao Ma Chao.
"Little Persimmon, come here and play with me."
"coming!"
Little Ma Chao's eyes lit up, and he immediately broke free from his father's hand and walked down quickly.
"Hey, this kid."
Ma Ling shook his head and sighed.
Madam Ma smiled and said,
"This child studies at home every day and rarely goes out to play. Occasionally he goes to a private school to play with other children, but there are no girls among them.
There was a little maid at home, but she was of different status and couldn't get along with him.
This is the first time he has seen a girl outside, so just let him play for a while."
King Nan was still a little worried, so he sent guards to protect him.
After walking down for a long time, they saw two children sitting by the roadside playing a stone game together. Both children were tired from running.
Shen Changgong walked over and said with a smile,
"Little Ma Chao, Little Sister Qiao, have you rested enough? It's time for us to continue down the mountain."
"Ah, it's the annoying Lanling Prince."
Xiao Qiao puffed out her lips and then ran down the mountain.
Yan Fuyao laughed and said,
"What did you do to her? This little girl hates you so much."
Shen Changgong laughed and said in a low voice,
"When I was offering sacrifices to the gods this morning, I secretly flicked her head."
Yan Fuyao chuckled, hit him and said,
"Why are you acting like a little kid? You're bullying people in such a serious situation. Don't bully this little girl anymore. She's so cute."
"How could that be? I love her so much that I can't wait for her to show up."
Shen Changgong smiled and then asked,
"After going to the southern front this time, are you going back?"
"No, it's a rare opportunity for me to come out, I want to take a closer look at this beautiful country and see how the people live.
Things are fine in Qi, but I heard that in Liang, the population is dwindling, and there is a lot of work to be done. The people are living in misery.
I have recently sent officials to govern the local area, but in this environment, governance is very difficult and the officials are also in a difficult position.
The people of Liangdi will be the people of Dayan in the future, so I naturally care about them.
You still have to go and see it in person to better understand the local situation.
I plan to go to the front line in the south of Qi first to confer titles and medals on the soldiers, and then head west to Liangdi, to the 300,000 troops in Liangdi, to confer titles on them.
Then we will go north to Xingqing Prefecture, and then east to Shengjing."
"Then you have a long way to go. This whole journey will take three or four months."
"Yes, I will spend the New Year on the road. Although the journey will be hard, no matter how hard it is for me, it is not as hard as those people."
"Your Majesty is so compassionate to the people that you truly deserve the title of a benevolent ruler. You are truly the greatest emperor of all time."
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes, glared at him, and then said,
"You're even flattering me like a treacherous minister, using sweet words to deceive the monarch."
"He is a traitor, a traitor who bullies the emperor and commits treason."
Seeing the evil smile on Shen Changgong's face, Yan Fuyao's pretty face turned red and she pinched him hard. Shen Changgong laughed and took her little hand.
"I'll go with you. I'll walk with you all the way."
"Aren't you going to stay at the front to command the troops?"
“There is nothing to govern. The armies all have their own commanders. It is impossible for the enemy to attack us within six months.
Shengjing is speeding up the production of weapons and transporting them here. We can let the Shenjiying deploy them when the time comes.
With the Southern King in charge, I don't need to worry about these things."
"Okay then. I feel relieved to have you protecting me."
Half a day later, they walked down the mountain and came to the dragon chariot.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, come get in the car."
Shen Changgong waved to Xiao Qiao.
Xiao Qiao stepped onto the Southern King's carriage, made a face at Shen Changgong, and then immediately got into the carriage.
"Yes, he was kidnapped by Ma Chao."
Shen Changgong laughed and got on the dragon chariot with the women.
Yan Fuyao sat in his seat and said directly,
"Tell me, what did you discuss with the old Taoist priest for so long? And you even brought back a little Taoist nun."
At this time, the carriage was filled with their own people, including Shen Changgong's six wives, Tu Que Ling, and no outsiders.
At this time, Shen Changgong could speak boldly.
He recounted his conversation with the old Taoist priest in detail.
After hearing this, the seven women inside all stared at him with wide eyes.
Yan Fuyao said slowly,
"The ministers in the court have been urging me to have a baby as soon as possible, and Old Master Shen has been worried that Xue'er can't get pregnant.
We were looking for the cause in ourselves before, and after all this fuss, the cause is actually you, the one who can't give birth."
