Want to find His Highness the Prince to ask for peace of mind? Perhaps it's better to ask what kind of heart is at peace.

  Just throwing a smelly egg and old vegetable leaves, Zhao Xi felt it was not enough. If they really dug up the ancestral grave... that would be too cruel. Anyway, the goal is to make these people dare not show their true face when going out, that's Zhao Xi's purpose.

  Change places to continue being an official? Dream on!

  People are always accustomed to forgetting, and human nature is mostly tolerant. Such despicable behavior, even if it has already reached the point where everyone is shouting and beating, probably still hasn't attracted as much attention as a widow next door having an affair with a man.

  Zhao Xi knew that although he had made a lot of effort to create this situation where there was nowhere to hide, it wouldn't be long before no one would remember this matter anymore.

  He hopes that the imperial court can arrange new positions for these people as soon as possible, and it would be best if they could take office before this storm settles.

  It seems that heroes have similar views. Zhao Xi's thoughts were clearly seen by Fu Ye, who didn't mind cooperating with Guang Nan to put on a show.

  So Wen Ping, who had been demoted to a lower position in the county, arrived soon after reporting back to Guilin.

  It may seem like a demotion, but for these people, that's good news......The prince is still thoughtful.

  For Guangnan, according to the usual practice, it should be after the whole of Guangnan Xilu has been pacified and the new governor has taken office, there will be a simple handover ceremony, only then can they take up their new post, even if it is put on hold, it is also normal.

  It's just that their transfer was so fast! So, I'm even more grateful to Your Highness the Crown Prince.

  Hehe, Fu Bi is also thinking about it. At this time, the wind should be blowing to those lower counties just right.

  The bureau is done, the momentum has been built up, as for the result... Zhao Xi can't control it, so he simply doesn't worry about it anymore. He is now rushing towards Kunlun Pass...

  Luckily, the Guangnan was not a flat plain all the way. Zhao Xi had been paying attention to his groin... Fortunately, although it had changed from slight pain to numbness, he still took a look when relieving himself and found that it hadn't burst!

  These years, although I haven't run a long distance, I have never stopped practicing horse riding. This time, I don't need to worry about applying ointment to my lower body again, nor do I need to worry about hiding my illness... Wen Yanbo's incident of making him expose his buttocks has left a psychological shadow on him.

  After traveling for hundreds of miles, Zhao Xi was still worried about himself and had managed to ride over like this.

  Zhao Xi couldn't understand why Zong Zhigao, who had risen in revolt from Guangyuan, took down Yongzhou and occupied the supposedly impregnable Kunlun Pass, yet ignored nearby Binzhou and headed directly east.

  It wasn't until he arrived in Pennsylvania that he realized others were intelligent too and weren't fools, but rather very clever.

  Although they occupied the Kunlun Pass, from the Kunlun Pass to Binzhou, this hundred miles of land is all mountain roads. The mob he gathered, although they were born and raised in the mountains, after running a hundred miles of mountain roads, didn't have much energy left.

  Going east is different, following the Yu River downstream, it's a matter of bamboo rafts, which is very easy for them.

  He understands the principle of exhausted soldiers being defeated.

  Rushing all the way, it's really tiring. The Southern Army that just arrived in Pennsylvania is now exhausted.

  Pennsylvania is a peaceful place, and it seems that Governor Yu Xie is also a capable minister.

  The bandits are just a hundred miles away, except for the soldiers, the daily life of the citizens in the city has not been greatly affected. But when the Southern Expeditionary Army arrived, it suddenly made the entire Pennsylvania tense.

  The provincial government has moved out and turned into a frontline command center. In recent days, Yu Jing has also stored food and other materials for the battle in batches in Binzhou.

  Everything is ready, just waiting for the soldiers to slowly get into position and start the battle.

  At this time, the commander-in-chief directly issued combat orders to the lieutenant, who executed them immediately. Zhao Xi had no intention of changing Di Qing's approach, although he was not very used to it and did not change it either.

  It's not something that can be accomplished overnight.

  However, in his bodyguard camp, he still gathered all the commanders and instructors together for consultation.

  It is a consensus to conduct reconnaissance on the terrain of Kunlun Pass in advance, and how to fight still needs to have a comprehensive understanding of Kunlun Pass before making a decision.

  This time's pre-war discussion was more like a situation briefing. Zhao Xi said that Di Qing took the Imperial Guard as a combat unit, rather than his personal bodyguard, and also needed to make an announcement at the management level of the Imperial Guard.

  "What about Su Zirong?"

  Everyone has arrived, Su Song is always punctual, but now that we're on the battlefield, this kind of situation has occurred.

  "Your Highness..."

  Just then, Su Song arrived, and he didn't come alone, but brought two handsome young men with him...

  Zhao Xi has always been very strict with discipline, and seeing Su Song like this, his face suddenly sank.

  All along, Zhao Xi has been very tolerant of Su Song. Su Song is the person he thinks can be most helpful to him in the future. Even during the regular training of the Imperial Guard, Zhao Xi was lenient with Su Song.

  I didn't expect this... He actually brought unrelated people to this place before the war.

  "Your Highness, this is Zhao Qian's eldest daughter..."

  What does it mean? Zhao Xi was stunned. Bringing people over is already excessive, how can you still formally introduce them?

  Wait... Zhao Qian Shu? This name sounds familiar... Zhao Shi Dan, courtesy name Qian Shu, the Governor of Kangzhou who was most admired by Zhao Xie in this chaotic rebellion!

  Zhao Xi suddenly stood up, quickly walked around the table, and arrived in front of those two young men. He clasped his hands together: "You have suffered!"

  He seems to have a lot to say, but when it comes to his lips, it all boils down to this one sentence.

  "Your Highness, on the eve of the decisive battle, I secretly lowered my wife and children down from the east city wall. At that time, Tengzhou, Wuzhou, and Fengzhou had all been breached by the bandits, with only one road leading to the east remaining."

  "Jia Shu led troops from Yingzhou to rescue Guangzhou, and met in the mountains. Jia Shu's wife, Liu Shi, due to her weak body, could not withstand the continuous fleeing, and after being rescued to Yingzhou, she fell ill and did not recover."

  "Because he brought the seal of Guangzhou and the will of Zhenxu, it was not possible to present them to the imperial court in person. Knowing that the imperial court's western army had marched south to Guilin, they sent someone to escort him here."

  Zhao Xi could no longer care about why it was a daughter instead of a son. He imagined the scene, a frail woman with three or five children in this deep mountain forest...

  Zhao Xi bowed his head again, but couldn't say a word... Whatever he said could not accurately express his emotions at this moment.

  "Third Uncle's three sons were all young, only his eldest daughter was an adult. Third Uncle considered the journey and took care of it, so he had his sister accompany them along the way."

  At this point, Su Song's mouth twitched twice.

  Accompanying Zhao Shidans daughter over, once arrived, it was nothing like having a sister of her own. But this girl said she wanted to accompany him to the end... Su Song knew that in these years, he had mentioned the Crown Prince many times in his letters, and this younger sister was probably curious...

  Zhao Xi's mind was a complete blank at this moment, and he couldn't help but feel dazed as he stared at Zhao Shidann's daughter.

  "Your Highness?"

  Huh? This question is... no wonder, wearing a set of extremely ugly clothes that are almost the same color as the grass, makes this eunuch's daughter very suspicious.

  Her father always wore official attire and was very serious all the time, unlike this...

  "I am Zhao Xi..."
