"Shh, keep your voice down, keep your voice down!"

Prince Jing stared and raised his index finger to his mouth, warning Chen Ji and Bai Li.

He turned around and looked behind him to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and then looked at Chen Ji and Bai Li: "I managed to sneak out in disguise, what are you yelling about!"

Bai Li asked doubtfully: "Dad, you teach me and my brother every day not to climb over the wall, but you still climb over the wall yourself?"

Prince Jing smiled: "Look at what you said, your father and I walked out from the front door."

Bai Li also smiled: "General Wang is on duty at the main entrance. I'll go ask him."

Prince Jing quickly grabbed Bai Li's arm: "I dug it out from the medical clinic!"

Chen Ji asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty, if you go out on patrol incognito like this, what if something happens to you? We can't afford it."

Prince Jing smiled and said: "I am just a coachman now. As long as you don't tell anyone, who will embarrass a coachman?"

Chen Ji thought for a while and continued to dissuade: "You should bring some guards, or let Feng Da accompany you to take care of your food and daily life."

"No!" Prince Jing raised his voice: "If they follow me and tell me every day that I can't eat this, not drink that, not do this, not go that, what's the point of going on tour incognito? Besides, this cultural gathering will be lively.

It's very strange that if I go as Prince Jing, everyone will be cautious."

Chen Ji sighed: "Earlier, I was wondering why the prince had such a character. It's up to you to co-author it."

Prince Jing raised his eyebrows: "Why do you feel like you are cursing? How does he look like me? At his age, I had already played tricks on those civil servants!"

Chen Ji said seriously: "Your Majesty, everyone recognizes you. In less than a morning, everyone will discover your identity."

Prince Jing waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I had already left Luo City by then, and the sky was high and the sea was vast!"

Chen Ji interrupted: "Your Majesty, let's not mention your incognito patrol. You have also seen that I am indeed not suitable for studying classics and have no intention of entering officialdom. Why don't you just let me drop out of school? As for the military expenses of the border army, what's the matter?

But how can it be such a trivial matter for the family and the country to change because of me alone?"

Prince Jing was silent for a moment and said meaningfully: "I don't have to kidnap you for the sake of my family and country. How about this? You only need to learn from next spring, and I owe you a favor. In the future, if you have anything to ask for, as long as it doesn't harm Ning

Chao Sheji, how about I help you once...?"

There was no answer.

He is just an apprentice in a medical clinic, but now the prefect of Luo City and the powerful lord of the feudal lord owe him a favor. It sounds nice to say it, but how should he honor the favor?

After thinking about it, Chen Ji said: "Then I have something to ask for. Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to go on patrol incognito. Why don't you go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Jing's expression changed and he interrupted: "Stop! Young man, you are still young and don't know what you want most. How can you use this favor so easily?"

At this time, Chen Wenxiao on the cart shouted: "Car driver, driver, let's go!"

Prince Jing hurriedly said in a low voice: "Here he comes!"

He lowered the brim of his straw hat, walked to the front of the cart and sat down with his back to everyone. He just raised his whip and the old scalper started to pull the cart slowly.

Bai Li smiled and stuffed the cloth bundle into Chen Ji's arms: "Everyone knows that my father promised a fortune, you'd better think about how to make good use of this favor... Don't forget to eat snacks!"

After that, she caught up a few steps, jumped lightly and sat down at the end of the cart, her legs hanging outside the cart, swaying with the bumps and ups and downs of the cart.

Bai Li patted the prince next to him: "Brother, when we go out this time, you must remember what dad told you. You are not allowed to drink alcohol within a month."

The prince sneered: "Hey, I've already left Luo City, can he still control me?"

Bai Li's eyes were bright: "Brother, this is not good, what if dad finds out?"

Prince Zihun waved his hand nonchalantly: "So what if he knows? I'm already in my prime, do I need to look at anyone's face when I'm drinking?"

Bai Li let out a long sigh: "That's awesome!"

Seeing Prince Jing sitting in the front, he waved his whip for a moment, and then the whip came down hard, causing the old cow to moan and quicken his pace.

…

…

The street was bustling with people, including a bullock cart, a horse, and a young man walking behind him.

It was a rare day in winter when the clouds were clear and the air was clear. Chen Ji suddenly thought that it would be good to go on a study tour, as it could briefly escape the chaos of right and wrong.

He followed the bullock cart leisurely, untied the cloth bundle in his arms, which contained Zhengxinzhai's snacks, honey three knives, golden cakes, and peach cakes, and smiled...

While he was eating, the clatter of horse hooves sounded. Zhang Xia rode beside him, looked down at the snacks in his hand, and asked casually: "You have a very good relationship with the prince and the princess, and the princess even specially gave you some snacks."

You prepared some snacks."

Chen Ji turned to look at her: "I am friends with the prince and the princess."

Zhang Xia was confused: "Friend?"

Chen Ji said calmly: "Don't you have any friends?"

Zhang Xia said bluntly: "No. After coming to Luo City, anyone who wants to be friends with me either wants to ask for some money, or wants to ask my father to do something. It's okay not to make friends like this."

Chen Ji said casually: "With the Xu family's status, it is not easy to be friends with Miss Zhang Er."

Zhang Xia suddenly said: "My name is Zhang Xia. You don't need to call me 'Miss Zhang Er' on the left and 'Miss Zhang Er' on the right."

Chen Ji responded casually: "Okay, Zhang Xia."

At this moment, Bai Li looked at Chen Ji walking behind, turned around and said to Wang Daosheng: "Sir, Chen Ji has walked several miles, why don't you let him get in the car?"

Mr. Wang put down the book in his hand and looked at Chen Ji silently.

Seeing the drama, Bai Li hurriedly added: "You see, he has also been punished. He will definitely not be late next time. It is still more than forty miles away from Yichuan County. We have to walk all the way, and our shoes will be worn out."

Mr. Wang said to Prince Jing: "Excuse me, please stop."

Prince Jing tightened the reins without looking back, and the ox cart slowly stopped.

Just as Bai Li was about to wave to Chen Ji to get in the car, he saw Mr. Wang jump out of the car and said to Prince Jing: "Continue on your way."

Everyone was shocked: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Mr. Wang patted the dust on his body and smoothed the wrinkles: "Fortunately, the princess reminded me. Since I accepted the scholarship, I am Chen Ji's teacher. If he makes a mistake, I am also responsible. I should be punished together."

.You just sit in the car and I will accompany him to Yichuan County."

Chen Ji said: "Sir, you don't have to be like this."

Mr. Wang shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I just acted according to my heart."

Chen Ji felt a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, students will never be late again."

But Mr. Wang swept away the dust on his shoulders with his book: "No, if there is something more important than studying the meaning of the scriptures, you still have to do it."

"Um?"

Mr. Wang said calmly: "What Zhixing Academy can teach you is just the principles of life, and this principle is to do things with your heart. The compassionate heart that wants to help a beggar when he sees it falling to the ground is the heart, and the righteous heart that draws a sword to help when seeing injustice on the road.

It’s also the heart. Just do it when the heart comes, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Chen Ji was a little confused.

Mr. Wang, who has always been serious, rarely smiled: "If you just miss one of my classes, I can tell you again. But if you miss some things, you will miss them forever."

Chen Ji took a deep breath: "Student understands."

He suddenly felt that this Mr. Wang seemed different from the literati he had met.

"I'm walking too," Bai Li supported the cart with both hands, jumped out neatly, and walked side by side with Chen Ji. The ruby ​​carp pendant on his collar button was like a plum blossom in winter.

The prince hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly jumped out of the car, but complained: "You are all crazy if you don't sit in a good ox cart but walk instead..."

Chen Wenzong also wanted to get up, but was held down by Chen Wenxiao: "Brother, what are you going to do? If he makes a mistake, he will bear it himself. Why should we be punished together? Our feet are grinding all the way to Yichuan County.

Soaked!"

Chen Wenzong sighed and finally sat back.

Zhang Xia looked at the people walking, suddenly jumped off the horse, held the reins and walked with Bai Li.

Bai Li glared at her: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xia said carelessly: "We are all classmates, we share blessings and share hardships!"

The prince gave a thumbs up: "Children of Jianghu!"

…

…

The ox cart slowly left the south gate.

I saw many refugees gathered outside the city, living in shacks and relying on the government's soup kitchen to survive every day.

The prince asked: "Have you heard that the night before yesterday, there was almost a civil commotion outside the West City Gate. In the end, Mr. Zhang Zhuo arrived in time to transport the food, and he also arrested the gangsters who planned to incite the civil commotion from the victims.

Put this matter to rest."

Chen Wenzong sat at the end of the bullock cart, looked at the prince and replied: "I heard my father mention it. He said that that day was so critical that the victims almost rushed into Luo City to burn, kill and loot."

The prince said: "It is said that that night, a masked man wearing a bamboo hat went outside the city to act as a hostage. He promised that the food would be delivered at about the same time. This delayed the victims for more than two hours. In the past two days, people in various teahouses

All the storytellers are outside the city, asking the victims about what happened that night, and planning to make a story about the masked man."

Zhang Xia held the reins and said with admiration: "My father said that he was a young hero who was calm in every situation and fearless in the face of danger. He could be regarded as a general. At that time, he not only suppressed the victims to delay time, but also found out the people placed among the victims by the Liu family.
