Crazy childhood sweetheart always thinks of me

Chapter 118 The King Has No Interest in Government Affairs

We headed south and arrived at Nanxi Pass in less than half a day. I leaned over the window and looked out. I saw a city wall about ten meters high and eight meters thick, with traces of war on it.

It was very deserted below the city wall, and the gates of the towers were heavily guarded. Could it be that the enemy was planning an invasion?

The carriage passed by the city wall and was suddenly stopped by the soldiers at the city gate: "Stop."

The young driver smiled and replied, "Sir, my master is inside."

"Open the curtain and take a look."

"master."

Yun Hance was a little surprised and reached out to lift the curtain, then went down with his hands behind his back.

"Are you the Regent?"

"But something happened?"

"Your Highness, recently many young women have gone missing at Nanxi Pass, so there are checkpoints at the entrance and exit. Your Highness was just sitting in a carriage, and I didn't know it was your carriage. I'm sorry for the offense, please forgive me."

Yun Hance didn't say anything, and there was no sound outside for a while. I was a little curious and was about to lift the curtain to see what was going on outside.

"It doesn't matter. I don't want anyone to know that I'm here."

The soldier immediately said tremblingly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If anyone else knows about this, I will bear the death penalty."

Then the car curtain was lifted, and I looked outside. The young general was looking inside with a burning gaze, and it was obvious that he could not completely trust Yun Hance.

Yun Hance sat down, lifted the car curtain, and said slowly: "Let's go."

The boy stared at me in confusion.

When the carriage drove away, I said to Yun Hance, "That young general just now was quite courageous."

Yun Hance looked at the book calmly and said, "It is indeed not small."

I felt depressed and took his book away: "He just kept looking at me, probably because he suspected that I was abducted by you."

Yun Hance looked at me with amusement: "It was obviously me who was abducted by you."

I was talking to him seriously, but he was joking instead. I didn't bother to pay attention to him and took his book and started reading.

"Although he is quite timid, I like this kind of person."

"like?"

Yun Hance came over and hugged me: "Appreciate it."

I leaned against Yun Hance, my face felt a little itchy, but I didn't dare scratch it for fear that he would worry.

"Ace, can we really leave the capital?"

Yun Hance did not answer immediately. In fact, I thought that although there was Jun Hua's life between the emperor and Yun Hance, Yun Hance grew up under the emperor's care after all, and he understood Yun Hance.

Yun Hance may not have any feelings for others, but he cares about the emperor from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he would not be willing to be stabbed by him.

The emperor is now seriously ill, and people in the court and the country are already in panic, but it turns out that there are few people the emperor trusts.

What’s wrong with trust? Trust must also be based on ability and without any disloyalty.

Although Yun Hance is separated from him by Jun Hua's life, Jun Hua will never come back after all, and he still has another child, Yongle.

The eldest princess has not been in charge of state affairs for many years. She has no military power and no influence in the court.

After much thought, he concluded that Yun Hance was the only one who had both the ability and a deep relationship with him. He believed that Yun Hance had no intention of being disloyal.

Since he is a minister entrusted with the care of my son, it is naturally impossible for him to accompany me to leave the capital to travel around the country.

"Yuanyuan, soon, when the sea is at peace and the river is clear, and Yongle can take charge of the government, I will resign and leave the capital. I will accompany you wherever you want to go, okay?"

I looked up at him and said, "No, I'll go wherever you go. If you're worried about Yongle, we can stay in the capital. It's not that I don't like the capital, I just like being with you."

"Yuanyuan, don't you hate it?"

Don't you hate him? Of course I hate him? If it weren't for Junhua and the Emperor, Yun Hance and I wouldn't be so hurt, but he was the only love Yun Hance felt in his previous life.

In his previous life, Yun Hance did not challenge the emperor for me. The emperor favored Yun Hance even more than all other princes.

"I hate it, but he treats you very well, so I seem to be able to let it go."

Yun Hance hugged me tightly: "Junhua has passed away, and he has always been very good to me. I can't refuse him."

I nodded: "I know, I know everything."

"The first thing I will do when I return is to deal with the Zhu family. By then, I will be the only one in power and no one will dare to oppose us."

"it is good."

When they arrived at the military camp, the sun had already set. Yun Hance got off the carriage, and a soldier had already entered with Yun Hance's name on his card.

Soon a middle-aged man came over. He was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and his face was stern. I had seen him once or twice in my previous life, mostly when he went to the East Palace to visit his sister, the Crown Princess. I met him twice by chance.

"Your Majesty." He bowed.

The Zhu family and Yun Hance were already at loggerheads at this point, but Zhu Baoguo was still able to keep his composure and was polite to Yun Hance.

Yun Hance chuckled and said, "General Zhu, there is no need to be so polite. I am here today for Deputy General Su."

Zhu Baoguo looked as if he understood everything: "Your Highness, please come in."

Yun Hance had no intention of entering the military camp: "Let Deputy General Su come out. It is not appropriate for me to enter the military camp with my female relatives."

Zhu Baoguo glanced at the carriage and immediately asked the soldiers to call someone, "Your Highness, are you not here for matters of the court?"

Yun Hance smiled and said, "I brought Yuanyuan out to travel around. I can only trouble your father with matters related to the court."

Zhu Baoguo seemed to be completely unaware of Yun Hance's probing: "It is my father's honor to be able to share the emperor's worries. But I don't know why the prince, who is so young and at the prime of his career, would follow the ancients and live a carefree life."

Yun Hance said helplessly: "This prince has always loved mountains and rivers and has no interest in politics."

Zhu Baoguo couldn't help laughing when he heard this. How could a man like Yun Hance be so uninterested in government affairs? How fast had he climbed the ranks in recent years? How many people had he killed in order to get promoted and be trusted by the emperor? At this moment, it was really funny to say that he was uninterested in government affairs.

"I heard that many young women were missing from the city?"

"Your Highness is very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. This incident has happened for half a month, but the women are nowhere to be found alive or dead, so the government office is unable to solve the case."

Yun Hance pondered for a moment, and at this moment my brother ran out of the barracks: "Ace, why are you here?"

Yun Hance asked, "General Zhu should have no objection if I take my deputy general away for a while?"

Zhu Baoguo blinked. Yun Hance was so polite. Was he the arrogant and domineering person his father talked about?

"Your Majesty, please."

"Ace, have you been to Yuanxi since you came here?"

"Ace, I'm in the army and it's not convenient for me to go out. Can you help me check on Ranran?"

"I'm a little worried about her."

Until Yun Hance opened the curtain, he didn't answer my brother. But when my brother saw me, he didn't show any joy at all. He just murmured, "What's wrong with your face?"

I shrugged calmly: "It's okay. My parents went back safely, and everyone is fine."

"Get in the car first." Yun Hance glanced at Zhu Baoguo and urged his brother to get in the car.

My brother got in the car and looked at my face carefully: "Did you get this face in Yuanxi? Why didn't mother tell me?"

I leaned against the carriage and said, "Mother knows that you are fighting hard on the battlefield. How could she bear to see you live in fear? So she will definitely not tell you."

My brother looked at me, tears welling in his eyes: "Tell me, what happened?"

I had no choice but to tell my brother everything, and at the end I reminded him: "Brother, be careful in the army. Daddy and Mommy can't stand the blow."

My brother touched my face and said, "You are the one who should be careful! Every time I see you, you are covered in wounds."

"What is your relationship with Zhu Baoguo?"

It was Yun Hance who asked this question.

"Not bad. He is cautious, talented, and knows how to use people. He is a good general."

"So? Big brother will go back to the barracks later and sell him a piece of news."

My brother's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What news?"

Yun Hance whispered something into my brother's ear. My brother frowned and said, "Are you trying to push him into a corner?"

Yun Hance smiled and said, "If he still has private soldiers under his command, he will not be able to sit still after hearing this news. You keep an eye on him, and when he delivers the letter to the capital, my people will follow him secretly, so that we can find out his true strengths and weaknesses."

My brother nodded and said several good things: "He is really cunning and sly."
