Chapter 100 Acting Alone
Luo Qinghan declined the county magistrate's invitation to a banquet and stayed in a local post house.
The inn had limited rooms and could not accommodate too many people, so the guards and eunuchs had to set up camp outside.
at night.
Luo Qinghan discussed the next itinerary with everyone in the room.
According to the original plan, they should go south along the Yijiang River.
But Luo Qinghan plans to change his plan.
"I plan to abandon the carriage and take a boat south. This way it will be faster."
The Prince's tutor said with a bitter face: "But there are too many of us, and we can't gather so many ships at once."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "So I am going to split my troops into two groups. You guys take the carriage and continue to go south along the Yi River. I will disguise myself and quietly take a boat south. We will meet again when we reach Jingshou County."
Everyone was horrified and shouted in unison: "Absolutely not!"
Luo Qinghan had obviously anticipated their reaction, and without further explanation, he just listened quietly to the Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Guardian taking turns to dissuade him. They kept repeating the same old words over and over again, insisting that he should not act alone.
The young prince Nie Changping stood on the side of the prince. On the one hand, he felt that it was too boring to follow the large group and it was more interesting to act alone. On the other hand, he really didn't want to ride a horse anymore!
He had been riding a horse for a whole month, and the skin on the inside of his thighs and buttocks was all rubbed off, bleeding, and in terrible pain.
And his two long straight legs are almost becoming bow-legged because of riding horses every day!
Just thinking about it makes me shed tears.
He really doesn't want to ride a horse again in his life!
Nie Changping's heart was filled with a strong desire to take a boat ride. When he saw that the Prince's Tutor and the Prince's Guardian disagreed to take the boat ride, he immediately started a quarrel with the two of them.
The two sides engaged in a verbal battle, neither side was willing to give in, and the battle was quite fierce.
As a military officer, Zhao Xian did not have much say in such matters, so he just stood by and listened quietly.
Standing beside him and watching the fight were Eunuch Chang and Xiao Xixi.
Eunuch Chang looked at his nose with his eyes and at his heart with his nose, looking like an old monk in meditation.
As for Xiao Xixi...
She is dozing off.
That’s right, she dozed off while standing!
When Eunuch Chang saw her falling asleep while standing, he was filled with admiration.
He had never seen anyone who could fall asleep while standing!
Fortunately, she had a special status and Eunuch Chang was difficult to discipline, so he could only pretend not to see it even if he saw it.
If it was an ordinary eunuch who dared to doze off while serving the prince, Eunuch Chang would have to give him a severe lesson!
It was not until both sides were so exhausted from arguing that Luo Qinghan spoke again.
"Since you don't want to, forget it."
Everyone was surprised.
They thought the prince would argue with reason, but they didn't expect him to compromise so quickly.
The Prince's Junior Tutor and the Prince's Junior Guard were afraid that the Prince would go back on his word, so they hurriedly said, "It would be best if Your Highness could come to his senses. It's getting late, Your Highness, please have a good rest. We will take our leave."
After saying that, they quickly slipped away.
Zhao Xian then said goodbye and left.
The young prince Nie Changping refused to leave and said indignantly: "Your Highness, why did you compromise? You are the crown prince, and they must obey your words even if they don't want to!"
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "Even if I force them to bow their heads and compromise, they will still not be convinced in their hearts. Only when they see with their own eyes the necessity of separate actions will they be convinced."
Nie Changping was very curious: "Does Your Highness have any other plans?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
