"Hurry up" Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and pulled up Li Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, looking at his current appearance, he also suffered a lot on the way back and forth to Zhao Du, since that day in the Mangshan Mountain, Li Xuan said goodbye in order to protect Zhao Kuo, now a few months have passed, Li Xuan, who has been unknown life and death, now appears in front of Zhao Kuo again, Zhao Kuo's heart is full of joy, full of excitement, he just crossed over, the little eunuch who served him to protect him is finally back.

"It's good to come back safely" After that, Zhao Kuo looked at another person not far away, thinking that it should be one of Yan Ning's four maids before, but he didn't know who it was, so he asked, "Who is this sister?" ”

"Xia Zhu", Xia Zhu replied expressionlessly.

"What about the other three sisters?"

"Dead"

Xia Zhu replied directly, Zhao Kuo didn't know what to say, "People can't be resurrected after death, Sister Xia Zhu, you don't have to be too sad."

"Don't be sad, they died to protect the princess, where they died"

Zhao Kuo really didn't know how to continue chatting this time, and it was really hard to talk to someone who was too indifferent. Originally, a few people met again, and the scene should have been sad for a while, but how could it feel a little embarrassing in an instant when he said a few words to Xia Zhu?

"Zhao... At this time, Li Yan came to Zhao Kuo and asked with some doubts: "I heard him call you His Highness just now?" ”

"Who are you? How dare you call His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince like that? ”

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" Li Yan was a little stunned when he heard it, he never thought that Zhao Kuo was actually the fourth prince of Zhao State, in his heart, he really thought that Zhao Kuo was just a minor official of Zhao State, and the reason why he obeyed Zhao Kuo's words now was all because he was afraid of being beaten by Qin Tian. At this moment, after knowing that the person in front of him who called Brother Zhao was the fourth prince of Zhao State, he thought of kicking him before, and knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed and saluted: "Meet the Fourth Highness, the villain deserves death, I have offended the Four Highnesses before, and I hope that the Four Highnesses will forgive."

Zhao Kuo saw his appearance and laughed, "Get up, we are partners now, you don't have to be so restrained, you still call me Brother Zhao the same as before."

"The villain doesn't dare"

"Call you whatever you want, don't talk nonsense, get out of here"

"Yes, yes" After Li Yan hurriedly got up, he still stood beside Zhao Kuo with his head down.

Zhao Kuo said to him softly: "Later, you go and tell these people, don't publicize my identity, there has never been His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince here."

After Li Yan heard this, he glanced at Zhao Kuo with some puzzlement, and then hurriedly agreed: "The villain understands, I will go and tell them in a while, and promise that no one has ever seen the Fourth Highness today."

Zhao Kuo nodded to him and said to Li Xuan: "Li Xuan, let's go home, let's go home, Sister Xia Zhu, I will let someone take you to see the princess after entering the city."

Xia Zhu nodded to Zhao Kuo and did not speak.

When the group just arrived at the city gate, they happened to meet an acquaintance, Qin Tian happened to come back with Yan Ning at this time, and met Zhao Kuo at the city gate.

As soon as Qin Tian saw Zhao Kuo, he pointed at Zhao Kuo's nose and shouted: "Zhao Kuo, you beast, it turns out that you are still the fourth prince of Zhao State, if my sister hadn't said it today, I still don't know it, you hide it deep enough."

Zhao Kuo smiled and didn't speak, but he didn't expect Qin Tian to know, and then Qin Tianyou continued: "But isn't your sense of existence as the fourth prince of Zhao Kingdom too low?" I've heard of the eldest prince of your Zhao Kingdom, the third prince, and even the second prince who suffers from leg disease, but you, the fourth prince, are really unheard of."

Zhao Kuo snorted twice with some embarrassment, "The powerless prince is like this, where is there any sense of existence, my prince can't even compare to you, the prince of the Qin Kingdom, it's not strange that you have never heard of it before."

"You're right."

Zhao Kuo rolled his eyes at him, he didn't bother to take care of him, he was so shameless that he didn't know how to be modest, so he changed the topic and asked him, "What about Yan Ning?" ”

Qin Tian pointed to the carriage lane not far away: "Sister is in the carriage, what are you going to do?" ”

"Bring someone to meet her", and then motioned for Xia Zhu to follow him and walked towards the carriage where Yan Ning was.

When he arrived in front of the carriage, Zhao Kuo shouted at her: "Yan Ning, you came out to see who I brought to see you?" ”

After a while, the curtain of the carriage door was lifted, revealing Yan Ning's beautiful face, and at this time, Xia Zhu was already full of tears, choked up and shouted: "Princess..."

After hearing this voice, Yan Ning's body, who had just stepped out of the carriage, trembled, and then hurriedly looked at Xia Zhu who was standing there, "Xia Zhu, is that you?" Is it really you? As he spoke, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and ran towards Xia Zhu.

Zhao Kuo felt embarrassed after hearing this, Yan Ning could recognize it as Xia Zhu at a glance? And he didn't recognize Li Xuanlai just now, and he didn't know if it would hurt Li Xuan's heart.

After Yan Ning came to Xia Zhu, she stared at her face for a few seconds, and then ignored Xia Zhu's dirty body, hugged her directly, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xia Zhu, you can be regarded as back, you don't know how worried I am alone in this strange Zhao Du."

The two women hugged each other and cried bitterly, Xia Zhu kept saying: "The slave failed to escort the princess all the way, the slave and the maid should die"

Seeing the two of them meet again, the scene was so sad and touching, Zhao Kuo wanted to cry a little, at this time, Qin Tian came to Zhao Kuo's side for some unknown reasons, turned Zhao Kuo with his shoulder and asked, "Zhao Kuo, what's the situation?" Who is this woman? Why did my sister cry so sadly when she saw her? ”

Zhao Kuo shook his head at Qin Tian, sighed and said, "It's a long story", and then walked towards Yan Ning.

Qin Tian nodded and hummed, then came back to his senses and shouted at Zhao Kuo: "What's a long story?" Didn't you say nothing? ”

Zhao Kuo didn't pay attention to him, but patted Yan Ning on the shoulder and said to her: "Don't be too sad, the other three sisters are no longer here, but fortunately, Xia Zhu is back, let's go to the city."

Yan Ning let go of Xia Zhu and nodded at Zhao Kuo: "I only saw Xia Zhu just now, and I already knew that the three of them couldn't come back, otherwise the four of them wouldn't be separated."

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything more, and then entered the city with Qin Tian.

After entering the city, Qin Tian was responsible for escorting Yan Ning back to the Guest House, while Zhao Kuo took Li Xuan and the others back to Hulin Garden.

After Li Yan settled all the women he recruited today, he came to Zhao Kuo and stood beside him, Zhao Kuo was sitting in the restaurant hall in a daze at this time, Li Xuan went to wash, and Zhao Kuo had to wait for Li Xuan to come over and ask him about the situation.

Seeing Li Yan standing respectfully behind him, Zhao Kuo pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit"

"The villain doesn't dare"

Zhao Kuo was a little speechless, knowing that he was the fourth prince, his attitude changed so well? Li Yan suddenly became so respectful, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it: "If you let you sit, you can sit, let me tell you, just get along with me in the future as before, don't be so respectful, I don't have a prince's frame, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to call me Brother Zhao before, just feel free, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Yan nodded a little sneeringly, and then sat down aside.

After Li Xuan came out after washing, Zhao Kuo also asked him to sit aside and asked him, "How did you and Xia Zhu come back like this?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, that day we killed the enemy, killed countless enemies, but there are more and more enemies, after the other soldiers and three sisters died one after another, Xia Zhu and I also knew that we were not far from death, so we had to run desperately in the other direction, the enemy behind us was also in pursuit, and finally Xia Zhu and I fled to the top of a mountain, there was no way back, and there were pursuers, so the two of us jumped off the cliff, fortunately, the fate was big, we were blocked by a big tree under the mountain, only to save a life, and then we found a caveAfter cultivating for a few days, we began to hurry to prepare to go to Yanyun City, how do we finally arrive at Yanyun City, but the city gate guards did not let us enter the city, I reported your Royal Highness's name, I didn't expect the city to send soldiers to drive us, no way, we had to leave and continue to rush to Zhaodu, because I couldn't prove my identity, so there was no town to accept the way back to Zhaodu, Xia Zhu and I had to beg all the way back, after a lot of hardships, after more than three months, finally rushed back to Zhaodu a few days ago, when entering the city, and was stopped, on the grounds that refugees outside the city are not allowed to enter, fortunately, I met Your Highness outside the city today, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to enter the city."

After Zhao Kuo heard what he said, he patted him on the shoulder, although it was very light to listen to what Li Xuan said, but Zhao Kuo himself had experienced it, and he knew how difficult it was to return to Zhao Du.

"Your Royal Highness, I have also heard about the matter of going to meet the princess of Yanguo before, I admire your highness from the bottom of my heart, the people you brought were almost wiped out, you went through a lot of difficulties and dangers, and finally brought the princess of Yanguo back to Zhaodu safely"

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Yan, shook his head and smiled bitterly, regardless of whether he said this sentence sincerely or a sycophant, it was true that he had taken Yan Ning through all kinds of hardships and dangers before, and he had almost died with Yan Ning several times.

"Li Xuan, you go and call Lian Yun tomorrow, just say that I have something to discuss with him, and you Li Yan, find more people to come over, and strive to complete the repair of the restaurant as soon as possible, so that we can open it as soon as possible."

Both of them nodded in response, Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said to Li Yan: "Didn't we bring back a pair of twin sisters today?" You send someone to send the two of them to the princess of Yan Kingdom tomorrow, so that they will be responsible for serving the princess in the future, and now only Xia Zhu is back, I think she also needs to train a few of her own confidants."

"It's still early in the morning, why don't I send someone to send them over now?"

Zhao Kuo thought about it and nodded: "Yes, you can arrange it."

After Li Yan left, Zhao Kuo said to Li Xuan again: "Go back to the room early and rest well, you shouldn't have had a good night's sleep all the way, right?" After a few days, I met with Mr. Li Ying, and I will arrange an errand for you to do when the time comes."
