That laughing voice echoed in my ears, and it was undeniable that the stimulating method was effective.

Lan Yu clenched her teeth. If it weren't for the identity of the person in front of her, she would have done it already, and the pain from that slap was still faintly on her face.

He tried to calm his breathing, then looked at Zhu Shangbing and was about to ask.

Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly turned around, deliberately lowered his voice and muttered.

"Tch, I thought the general had any courage, but he's just mediocre."

Hearing this, the generals who had been slandered for no reason set their sights on Lan Yu.

He was also furious and saw that even the deputy general next to him was looking this way.

He quickly strode up to Zhu Shangbing, stopped him, and said.

"I should take this bet. What is the bet?"

"Kneel down, kowtow, and apologize to my father."

Zhu Shangbing said the request without hesitation, his eyes were cold and murderous, and his voice echoed in the hall.

All the civil and military officials were stunned on the spot, looking at the two men in astonishment.

Especially when he looked at Zhu Shangbing, his face was full of disbelief.

Lan Yu was in the limelight, and who was not trying to win over him? The Prince of Qin made him kneel down and kowtow without saying a word, which was really shocking.

not to mention……

"Is the prince really sure?"

Lan Yu was unexpectedly not angry. Instead, he looked at the person in front of him with a smile. He looked young and had very little meat on his body. How could he be sure that he could chew off that hard bone?

Among the many generals present, none of them had fought against the Mongols.

We all know how powerful the barbarians are, and indeed a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

He concluded that Zhu Shangbing could not return victoriously, but he had just suffered a loss, so he shut up and did not continue talking, but the raised corners of his lips could not be suppressed no matter what.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Shangbing mockingly, and then suddenly noticed Zhang Wanzhi who was at a loss in the corner. His engagement was annulled in front of all the civil and military officials, and he was still the kind who would rather die than have her.

It will be difficult to marry high in the future.

What's more, now that she's not doing well with the Emperor's grandfather, she has no hope of becoming his concubine.

He was already resentful of Zhu Shangbing and became even more angry at this time, as if he was treating him as a villain beating a mandarin duck, and whispered in a low voice.

"You bastard, just die at the hands of the Mongols and don't come back."

Zhu Shangbing said nothing in the face of various doubts, and turned and left after Lan Yu agreed.

Before going out, deliberately look back to take in the full view of the expressions of the people inside.

Return to Linde Hall.

The father and son sat on chairs and drank several cups of tea, but no one said a word.

In the end, Zhu Ping couldn't drink anymore, so he stood up and walked to Zhu Shangbing, carefully looking at his head and mumbling.

"What's going on? When did you get sick? Is there a brain disease?"

I heard that the latter's head was full of black lines, but someone was restless in his head.

Li Cunxiao laughed loudly when he heard this, sang along with the cheap daddy, and asked.

"Xiao Zhu, does it count as having a brain disease if you have us?"

After saying this, even Zhu Shangbing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If this situation appeared in modern times, maybe it would be, but he has even experienced time travel, and now there are only six more plug-ins.

He didn't take it personally, but...

When Zhu Shangbing was silent just now, King Qin thought that Zhu Shangbing was embarrassed to speak, so he was so frightened that he yelled for the imperial doctor.

For a moment, Linde Palace was in a state of chaos.

…

Inside the residence of Zhu Yunwen in the East Palace.

Looking at the old man holding a book in front of him and nodding from time to time, he hesitated to speak.

This was repeated over and over again until Fang Xiaoru could no longer concentrate. He looked at the person in front of him helplessly, and asked with helplessness on his face.

"Why is your Highness so worried?"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes were complicated when he thought about the Jinshen Palace incident and he didn't know where to start. He knew why Zhu Shangbing was so resistant to Zhang's daughter and was targeted many times.

Everyone is dissatisfied, so how can we sleep together?

But it is hard to disobey the divine order. Even he could not change the emperor's will. Although Zhu Shangbing's persistence was successful, he also paid a heavy price.

The Northern Expedition to Mongolia was extremely difficult.

Those people are like weeds, it is difficult to kill them all, and it is a big worry to cultivate their health and recuperate for a few years.

What's more, they are notoriously difficult to deal with, and even Zhu Yuanzhang suffered losses.

Zhu Shangbing, who had never led an army before, wanted to win, but it was not easy. He had no choice but to ask Fang Xiaoru.

"I don't know what Shang Bing's chances of winning are."

Hearing this, the latter paused slightly while flipping through the books, not knowing where to start.

The promotion of this incident was related to him.

Fang Xiaoru didn't know how to reply to Zhu Yunwen. After analyzing for a moment, he sighed and said four words.

"A narrow escape from death."

In fact, he wanted to say that there is no life in ten deaths, but when he thought that Zhu Shangbing could hunt bears at a young age, he silently changed his words.

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he stopped pacing repeatedly and looked out the window with complicated eyes.

There is a wall at the end, and Zhu Yunxi at the other end.

To him, Zhu Shangbing was more of a blood brother than a blood brother. Zhu Yunxi, who was related by blood to him, was very hostile to him and even had many tricks behind his back.

He is not a fool and knows everything.

I finally got acquainted with Zhu Shangbing and could chat for a few words, but I didn’t know...

"Is there really no way to save the day?"

Facing those hopeful eyes, Fang Xiaoru hesitated.

After hesitating for a moment, he expressed his thoughts.

"The army needs food and grass for the expedition. The national treasury is not rich. How can it support an army of hundreds of thousands? And you have to rush from Yingtian. You can imagine how much food and grass will be needed on the way. If my guess is correct, His Royal Highness can only take away 50,000 at most.

"

Fifty thousand may seem like a lot, but it was actually necessary for the Northern Expedition to Mongolia.

A drop in the bucket.

Mongolia, which could not be conquered by hundreds of thousands of men and horses, was a behemoth on the grassland that was difficult to shake.

Fights often resulted in numerous casualties.

Fifty thousand people are more than enough to defend the city, but if he takes the initiative to attack, Zhu Shangbing is no different from seeking death.

Compared with Zhu Yunwen's great disappointment, Fang Xiaoru's eyes actually had a bit of expectation.

People who allow today’s Holy Father to make arrangements and compromise.

Only this one.

…

The Duke's Mansion of Weiguo.

After hearing what happened at the banquet, Deng Quan was in sharp contrast to the ants on the hot pot and Deng Zhen, who was sitting on it calmly drinking hot tea.

The former soon became sweating profusely, sat down and looked at his elder brother angrily.

Thinking of Deng Zhen, who had gotten along well with Zhu Shangbing a few days ago, he smiled and came forward to ask.

"Brother, do you know something?"

She was obviously more worried than him at first, but now she looks calm and relaxed.

There is something strange!

The latter was noncommittal after hearing this. He thought about what happened at the banquet and couldn't help laughing.

Everyone is paying attention to Zhu Shangbing's initiative to marry him in order to break off the engagement and the bet he made with Lan Yu.

Only he could see some real meaning and noticed the inconspicuous request.

After Zhu Shangbing left, the matter of divorcing his wife had to be put on the agenda.

He must resign from his position in the military and become an idle prince. Then the hope of the Deng family lies in...

From the corner of his eye, he looked at his dull-witted little brother, his eyes filled with hatred that steel could not be transformed into steel. He couldn't help but raised his hand and patted his head, and warned him carefully.
