520 Are you misunderstanding something?

Liang Yulin had faith in his eldest son’s abilities.

He looked at the chessboard and said, “Well, we’ll wait for the fish to take the bait, then we’ll pull the string.”

The third prince, who had also come for a meal, was sitting at the side and watching the game, was speechless.

Why couldn’t he understand what they were saying?

He also didn’t understand this.

If they couldn’t use the same method to resolve the crisis of after the besiege again, how would Xiao Hanzheng come in handy when he arrived?

According to his spies’ report, the Ge Kingdom had dispatched thousands of people this time.

In this small town, he and his imperial uncle’s men, in addition to the guards here, only had about a thousand people.

Against the thousands of Ge country elites, would they be the ones to fish them up, or would they become fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by them?

He had been so anxious for the past two days that his mouth was on fire, and these two people not only played chess leisurely, but also went fishing …

He really couldn’t understand them anymore.

Couldn’t these two people talk like normal people?

Mother Xiao looked at the third prince, who looked like he had nothing left to live for, and poured him a cup of herbal tea to cool down.

“Don’t worry,” she consoled, “we’ll definitely be able to get out of here safely.”

“You’re also that confident?” The third prince had a respectful attitude towards Mother Xiao.

He had no choice.

This was his future royal aunt.

However, he did not expect that Xiao Hanzheng’s mother would also look so confident.

Xiao Hanzheng’s sister didn’t seem worried at all.

On the contrary, it made her seem abnormal.

Mother Xiao smiled. “Of course, my daughter-in-law is the best. If she says she’s going to fish, then the bad guys from the Ge Kingdom must be the fishes waiting to be slaughtered.”

After she came to the northern border, she had heard from the workshop workers and people that the Ge Kingdom had done too many evil things in the northern border to be recorded. So to her, they were all bad people.

She would not be soft-hearted or sympathize with the bad guys who they were dealing with.

Hearing this, the third prince almost spat out the tea he had just drunk.

It turned out that Mother Xiao was so confident and magnanimous just because she felt that Shi Qingluo was formidable.

He looked at Shi Qingluo. “Do you think we can reverse the situation and turn them into fish waiting to be slaughtered? ”

He had sent out a message earlier and asked one of his trusted aides to bring his people over to rescue them.

However, he had received news not long ago that the people who had come to rescue him had been stopped by a mysterious force.

He guessed that it was most likely the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Those people seemed to have completely colluded with the Ge Kingdom and wanted to capture Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qing placed his chess piece down and looked up at the third prince. “Isn’t it obvious? ”

The third prince was confused. “How is it obvious? ”

“Those who came to rescue us faced disruptions in their journey. We have just over a thousand people, how are we going to deal with a few thousand people?”

He asked in confusion, “Even if Xiao Hanzheng brings his people here, how many more can he bring? ”

It was not that he was afraid of death, but if they were to die and Shi Qingluo was captured, it would be a huge problem for Daliang.

He would also let down his father’s trust.

Liang Yulin glanced at the third prince. “Xiao Yuanshi and Xiao Hanzheng will meet up.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would receive news from each other every day, and then they would exchange and share it.

So in the morning, Qingluo received the news from a messenger pigeon that Xiao Yuanshi had not only come to Heyang County, but had also rushed to the small town with his men.

And ‘coincidentally’, he bumped into Xiao Hanzheng, who had been intercepted by the Ge Kingdom’s army.

Xiao Yuanshi was the Deputy Governor, and he had led troops to war in the northern border, so he still had a strong foundation in this aspect.

Therefore, in just a few days, his mobilized thousands of elites to the town.

The rescue team that the third prince had sent was a smokescreen deliberately created by him and his eldest son.

Regardless of whether it was Prince Jin’s people or those from the previous dynasty who wanted to stop them, their target would naturally be the third prince’s reinforcements.

He would never have thought that Xiao Yuanshi would appear out of a sudden.

Of course, it might seem like an accident to others, but to him, it was still his eldest son’s “credit”.

He liked it when he schemed against his own father.

Xiao Yuanshi would probably feel aggrieved and regret coming to Heyang County, only to fall into the trap his own son had set for him.

The third prince didn’t fully understand what his uncle was saying. “Uncle, you mean Xiao Yuanshi came to save us with his soldiers?”

Liang Yulin nodded. “You could say so, although he didn’t do it willingly.”

The third prince was a little confused. “He didn’t do it willingly? ”

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “Do you even need to ask?”

No wonder the emperor had sent the third prince to the northern border to gain experience.

On the surface, he wanted him to deal with and suppress the other forces.

In fact, it was to attract the attention of several parties, so that Prince Yi and her husband could stir up trouble in private.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be in charge of subduing the northern border.

Liang Yulin said in a disdainful tone, “Let’s continue playing chess. He isn’t on the same page as us.”

He was not smart enough.

His royal brother made his legitimate son the crown prince.

Other than being perfectly just, he probably also felt that his other sons were not very smart.

His royal brother had so many women in his harem and had so many sons, but they weren’t of qualities at all.

Fortunately, they could still rely on the crown prince.

Otherwise, tsk, tsk, his imperial brother might want to cry.

So, he was still the smart one to marry a wife only.

He also had such a powerful eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, an innocent and cute but smart eldest daughter, and a clever and quick-witted youngest son.

As for the fact that his eldest son, eldest daughter, and youngest son were not his biological children, he had completely ignored it.

The third prince was speechless.

His imperial uncle despised him again. Was he really his uncle?

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “That’s true. We’re too outstanding. It’s also a form of loneliness that not many people can understand.”

This was also one of the reasons why she was optimistic about Prince Yi becoming her future father-in-law. This two-faced prince felt that he belonged to their family.

Prince Yi agreed. “Yes, that’s right.”

The third prince was speechless.

He wanted to shut himself up.

This time, he was smart enough not to ask again, or he would be despised again.

He was just waiting to see these two excellent people, no, Xiao Hanzheng.

These three were too outstanding. How could they have treated the Ge Kingdom’s elites as fish willingly waiting to be slaughtered?

Then, he looked at Mother Xiao and Xiao Baili’s nonchalant expressions.

He didn’t understand it before, but now he finally understood why his imperial uncle would like Xiao Hanzheng’s mother.

It wasn’t like they weren’t helping each other here!

On the other hand, the Ge army blocked their people.

Xiao Yuanshi and his men finally killed them.

The moment he turned around, he saw his son holding a cup of tea and leisurely leaning against the carriage.

“Aren’t you going to do anything?” he asked.

He was too much of a bastard.

Since he met up with Xiao Hanzheng, he had been dealing with enemies, danger, and trouble …

“Deputy Governor Xiao, are you misunderstanding something?” Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yuanshi was puzzled. “Misunderstand what?”

Xiao Hanzheng said with a righteous look, “I’m a civil official. When I encounter something like this, of course I have to rely on military officials like you to come forward and solve it.

“Otherwise, I’ll be a general and not a county magistrate.”

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless.

Do you think I don’t know that your martial arts are better than mine? Civil official my ass.

How did he give birth to such a son for retribution …
