This time is different from the one with the White Lotus Sect.

Zhao Ce could not predict the risk factor of infiltrating the White Lotus Sect.

But when it came to the border, Zhao Ce knew to some extent that this would happen.

Comrade Xiao Zhu came to the border and wanted to fight. He even personally commanded the army and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy himself.

This will happen sooner or later.

If he doesn’t come now, he will come in a few years.

Because of his intervention, the war on the border was advanced.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's arrival at the border was advanced.

As far as Zhao Ce knew, Comrade Xiao Zhu not only personally led the troops to fight a battle, but also won a great victory.

Since he could predict that there would be no danger, he could allow Zhu Houzhao to personally organize military affairs.

As for whether a fight can start now, I won't mention it for now.

Anyway, if Zhu Houzhao is not afraid of the punishment after returning, he has nothing to say.

Zhao Ce will have his own way to take it out by then.

Of course, staying here is to prevent Zhu Houzhao from getting out of control.

However, Zhao Ce was not prepared to stay for too long.

His wife and children at home were all looking forward to him coming home, so they almost had to persuade Zhu Houzhao to go back.

Zhao Ce figured it out and agreed.

However, what he said made Zhu Houzhao stunned.

What's going on?

Didn’t the Marquis of Dingxi come to persuade him to go back?

Why did he agree to stay for a few more days after just a casual struggle?

Originally, he had prepared a long paragraph of rhetoric, waiting to be used after being rejected.

Such a straightforward agreement made it impossible for Zhu Houzhao to deal with it.

The words reached his throat and he swallowed them hard.

Zhu Houzhao swallowed his saliva and asked carefully: "You, are you not angry?"

"If you stay together, will Madam Dingxihou be worried if you have to be away from home for so long?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "I will ask someone to take the message home."

"But Your Highness plans to stay for a long time? Didn't he say that he would go back in a few days?"

Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said, "Yes, I won't stay for too long."

"In just a few days, we will wander around the border to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"Just treat it like I'm paying a private visit in disguise on behalf of my father!"

Zhu Houzhao got the promise and finally returned to his usual appearance.

He happily said goodbye to Zhao Ce and went to the next room.

Liu Jin was also very happy to see him coming out.

While waiting for Zhu Houzhao to wash up, he pretended to ask casually: "I have been running around for a long time. When I go back tomorrow, will I ride a horse or a carriage?"

Zhu Houzhao was taking a comfortable bath. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and looked at Liu Jin.

"Liu Banban, are you very brave?"

Liu Jin said in a panic: "Master, slave..."

"Do you dare to say that Ding Xihou was not informed by you?"

"Yes... it was done by my slave... But I am also worried about my safety..."

Liu Jin was a little worried. Zhu Houzhao had separated from his master and servant because of this matter.

His mind kept spinning, trying to find another way to explain Zhu Houzhao's anger.

But Zhu Houzhao was not angry at all. Instead, he splashed the water casually and praised: "You did a good job this time."

"Marquis Dingxi came just in time and answered my doubts in time."

"Otherwise, I will definitely be tossing and turning tonight."

Zhao Ce not only answered his doubts, but also agreed to stay here for a few days.

When Zhu Houzhao thought of this, he felt that the board that might have fallen on his butt from behind was no longer so painful.

Getting Zhao Ce's approval and acting together with him will definitely be better than going out alone!

Hearing the sudden praise, Liu Jin was ecstatic, but she still tried hard to suppress it.

"My servant also thought about the poverty of life in the frontier, so I thought it would be a good idea to ask the Marquis of Dingxi to come over and talk to me."

"It's also a mistake."

"I heard that a carriage has been driven over from the Marquis of Dingxi's house. When I go back, do you want to take a carriage so that I can talk to the Marquis more conveniently?"

Liu Jin did not forget his original purpose and started talking in a roundabout way.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "No need."

"I won't go back for the time being."

"I and the Marquis of Dingxi will stay in the border area for a few days to see the situation in the border area."

Liu Jin said "Huh?", thinking she heard wrongly.

"Stay, stay for how many days?"

"Still with Marquis Dingxi?"

Liu Jin was dumbfounded.

Isn't this the reinforcement he invited?

As a result, the rescue soldiers were assimilated and turned into accomplices?

After a brief silence, Liu Jin didn't know what to say.

He could only say vaguely: "Master, if you come back late, Your Majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly: "Why don't we just hit the wall? I am strong and can withstand it!"

Liu Jin wanted to cry, but the villain in her heart was already bursting with tears.

You are a prince, and if others don’t dare to hit you hard, of course you can withstand it.

These slaves will be beaten to death!

Zhu Houzhao seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry."

"There are a lot of medicines for wounds in the East Palace. I told you before that I will give you good medicines after you have been punished."

"These words still apply today."

"I will definitely save your life by then!"

Liu Jin wiped the corners of his eyes and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you very much for the reward."

Liu Jin thought that he would have to ask Ding Xihou later.

Still have to go back early.

Otherwise, his good days will really come to an end...

However, after Zhu Houzhao went to bed, Zhao Ce had already turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Liu Jin looked at the closed door and could only sigh and return to where he should be.

…

early morning.

Outside the governor's tent.

A soldier trotted over.

"My lord, I have something important to report!"

Lord Baoguo Zhu Hui had just gotten up and was being served by others to dress and wash himself.

After hearing this, he still finished what he was doing calmly.

After the people below brought breakfast, he ate breakfast slowly while listening to the reports from his subordinates.

"What's up?"

The subordinate said: "A dozen of our sergeants were kidnapped outside the camp. They left a letter and asked the Duke to investigate these people strictly and then publicly execute them."
