Chapter 027: Entering the palace and going to court

Zhao Kuo rushed to his mansion in Zhao Capital under the leadership of two Black Flag Army, and not long after, Zhao Kuo and the Void Monk stood in front of the gate of a mansion, looking at the mansion.

After a while, the Void Monk spoke: "Brother, is this where you live?" It's a little shabby. ”

Zhao Kuo glanced at him, didn't reply to him, walked directly to the door, pushed the door in. The courtyard is empty, the display is dilapidated, and the only thing that can still be seen in the past is that the whole is still neat and clean.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo's heart is very different, maybe because he watched too much TV in his previous life, Zhao Kuo thought in his heart before coming here, he is also the prince of a country, regardless of whether he is favored or not, and whether he is powerful or not, the prince's mansion must be carved and magnificent, the guards of the brigade stand at the door, and there is a big plaque hanging on the top of the gate, which is printed with a few big characters of what house, so as to meet the identity of the prince of a country, so as not to lose face to the emperor Laozi.

But the reality is really too slap in the face, and this face is still deeply painful. Not to mention the dilapidated house, there is not even a gatekeeper at the gate, this has been in for a long time, and even a figure has not been seen until now, Zhao Kuo is very suspicious that the two Black Flag soldiers outside brought him to the wrong place? Are you sure this is the mansion of his fourth prince, Zhao Kuo?

At this time, a middle-aged man with two mustaches and two young people probably heard the movement, and hurried over, Zhao Kuo looked at it, I wiped, several people were still holding sticks in their hands, and suddenly their hearts were cold, and they said secretly: It's broken, it's broken, it seems that it was really taken by the two unreliable Black Flag Army in the wrong place, this is coming to someone else's house, and someone else is coming with a stick?

Just when Zhao Kuo was about to shout to the Void Monk to protect him, a few people who came saw Zhao Kuo and were stunned for a moment, and then several people hurriedly dropped the stick in their hands, trotted in front of Zhao Kuo, and immediately knelt down, and the middle-aged man led by tears came out instantly, choked and said to Zhao Kuo: "Your Highness, Your Highness, you can be regarded as coming back safely"

At this time, the two Black Flag Army soldiers who were standing outside the door and did not enter the door also walked in after hearing the movement, and one of them pointed to the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him and said to Zhao Kuo: "Fourth Highness, he is the housekeeper of your house, named Xie An"

After hearing this, the housekeeper Xie An looked at Zhao Kuo with a puzzled face, and then asked, "This little general, what is his Royal Highness?" What's going on? Don't know us anymore? ”

"Your Highness had an accident on the way to this trip, and I can't remember anything from the past"

Xie An was stunned again after hearing this, as if he was still digesting this sentence, and after a while, he should have finished digesting and understanding thoroughly, and cried while kowtowing his head: "Your Highness, how can you suffer such a disaster, God doesn't open your eyes, why can't you let us bear this disaster instead of Your Highness?"

Zhao Kuo was really stunned when he saw him at this moment, he cried when he said he cried, and tears came when he said it, is this true expression or deliberate performance?

"Okay, okay, don't shout, get up" Zhao Kuo waved his hand to interrupt Xie An's crying: "Didn't I come back well?" It's not dead, what are you crying wolf here? ”

"Yes, yes, it is the greatest blessing that His Highness can return safely now, nothing else is important, it is not important" Xie An said after getting up, wiping the tears on his face.

"It's just the three of you in this house?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, there were originally 30 guards in the house, 6 maids, and 12 miscellaneous people, but since His Royal Highness was attacked by the Huns on this trip, a version was transmitted back a day, first saying that His Royal Highness was attacked by the Huns on this trip, and the army surnamed suffered thousands of casualties, and then more than half of the casualties were reported, and then the troops led by him were almost wiped out, His Highness was missing, and in the end, His Royal Highness had died. After everyone in the house heard all kinds of rumors at that time, they were panicked, and finally they all really thought that Your Highness had sacrificed, so they all left one after another, and now there are only three people left with me and Qian Shangqian, and several of us think that Your Highness You are a person with a great fortune and a great fate, and you will definitely come back, and today we finally let us look forward to you back, it is really God's eyes."

In this way, these three people are loyal to him, and Zhao Kuo couldn't help but look at them again for a while.

"Your Highness, where is Li Xuan? Didn't he come back? At this time, Xie An realized that Li Xuan, who had been by Zhao Kuo's side in the past, was gone.

"He asked me to stay in Yanyun City to do other things for me" Zhao Kuo casually panicked, mentioning Li Xuan, Zhao Kuo sighed, the little eunuch who was younger than himself didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment.

"Do any of you know how to cook? It's time for dinner," the Void Monk suddenly said.

Xie An looked at the Void Monk, and then grinned at Zhao Kuo and said, "I will, I will, Today, Your Highness returns safely, I will make a rich meal for Your Highness to taste." After speaking, he ran directly to the kitchen, and after a while, the two people who were paid for were also called by him to help.

"Fourth Highness, we need to return to the barracks, so we will retire first" The two Black Flag Army soldiers saluted to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded at them.

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Kuo woke up early, to be precise, he was scared awake. This night, Zhao Kuo slept very unsteadily, dreaming frequently, sometimes dreaming of Yan Ning, sometimes dreaming of Lian Feng, dreaming of Li Xuan, dreaming of Qi Xuan for a while, and dreaming of his girlfriend in his previous life, and finally dreamed of being chased and killed by the Huns, pulling Yan Ning all the way, and finally falling off the cliff and waking up.

I had already woken up, and I couldn't sleep anymore, Zhao Kuo simply got up, and then walked out of the door and walked around, wanting to take a good look here, no matter how I said that this is also my home. The place is not too big, after turning around for a while, Zhao Kuo was about to go back to the room, at this time a door opened, Zhao Kuo looked, it turned out that the void monk woke up, or it can be said that he was awakened by hunger.

The Void Monk saw Zhao Kuo stretching his waist and yawning and asked, "Brother, when are you going to have breakfast, you're hungry?"

Zhao Kuo really admires this monk's digestive system, it's so good, no matter how much you eat in your stomach, it will be digested in a while.

"If you are hungry, go back and continue to sleep, and when you fall asleep, you will not be hungry"

"I'm just hungry and can't sleep, forget it, I'll go to the kitchen myself and see if there's anything to eat," he said and walked to the kitchen by himself.

When Zhao Kuo heard him say this, he felt a little hungry, so he also went to the kitchen.

It was still early, and there was no one in the kitchen at this time, after Zhao Kuo and the Void Monk entered the kitchen, the Void Monk looked around and didn't find anything that could be eaten directly. Zhao Kuo saw that there was actually a fish in the bucket, and remembered the scene of roasting the fish that Yan Ning had lived enough to jump on the shore and commit suicide by himself, and couldn't help grinning. At this time, it happened that the money came down to the kitchen, Zhao Kuo asked him to take out the fish and clean it up, he was going to cook a fish soup, and by the way, he made some noodles and pasted potstickers around the pot, thinking of this, Zhao Kuo felt that he was about to drool.

"Brother, what did you think of to eat?" The void leaned over to Zhao Kuo and asked.

"You'll find out in a moment"

Zhao Kuo was busy in the kitchen for almost half an hour, and the Void Monk followed him for almost half an hour, and when it was done, Zhao Kuo smelled the fragrance and nodded with satisfaction. It smells so good, it must taste even more delicious, Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

Immediately put a bowl of fish soup for himself, before he had time to eat, Xie An ran over and reported that the second son of Lian Mansion came to visit, Zhao Kuo hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen, after Lian Yun saw Zhao Kuo, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Minister Lian Yun greets the Fourth Highness"

"Excuse me, are you the younger brother of General Lian Feng?"

"Lian Feng is the elder brother"

"The second son came here so early to find me?" Zhao Kuo felt a little strange.

"My father learned that there was an accident on the trip of the Fourth Highness, which caused all the past to be forgotten, so the special minister came to accompany the Four Highnesses into the palace early court, if the Four Highnesses do not understand something, the ministers will answer for the Four Highnesses"

"So that's the case, General Lian really has a heart, by the way, the second son shouldn't have had breakfast when he came over so early, right? I've just made a fresh and delicious fish soup, and I haven't started eating it yet, so let's eat some more? ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the minister has already eaten" Just at this time, the void monk walked out with a bowl in one hand and a potsticker in the other, eating in a big gulp, Lian Yun smelled the fragrance of the fish and swallowed his saliva and then hurriedly changed his words: "But since His Highness opened his mouth, and it was cooked by His Highness himself, then the minister can eat more."

……

Zhao Kuo found that Lian Yun was very different from his brother Lian Feng, Lian Feng had a serious expression no matter who he was, he was not happy or angry, he was meticulous in his work, what he should be was and everything was done according to the rules. As for Lian Yun, when they met for the first time, Zhao Kuo felt that he would be much more flexible than Lian Feng, if the two brothers were placed in their previous lives, Lian Yun would definitely be able to mix well, and Lian Feng would probably not be killed by others.

Since Lian Yun also wanted to drink some fish soup, Zhao Kuo led Lian Yun to the kitchen together, and when the two walked into the kitchen, they found that a pot of fish and potstickers had actually been eaten clean by the Void Monk, Zhao Kuo was speechless, and came to the Void Monk and said, "How can you be a monk who eats meat?" Don't you know that fish is meaty? You ate so much in the morning, you don't get tired of it? Aren't you afraid that your Buddha will send down a Nine Heavens Thunder and directly kill you? ”

The Void Monk returned disapprovingly: "The Buddha said: Wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha stays in his heart, as long as there is a Buddha in his heart, he can eat anything, Amitabha"

"Ahh Are you sure it wasn't sent by some enemy? Did you send him here to eat me poor?

After working hard for a long time to make delicious food, he didn't eat a bite, the more Zhao Kuo thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, although Xie An made some more food later, but Zhao Kuo had no appetite for eating. Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Kuo and Lian Yun walked to the palace.

On the way, Lian Yun told Zhao Kuo that Western Xia had recently made frequent provocations in the two countries, and that the mighty general Li Mu had also returned, and that this time the court should discuss whether to send troops to attack Western Xia or the Xiongnu.

Zhao Kuo still hopes to send troops to fight the Huns, not to mention that he was chased by the Huns all the way, just for Yan Ning, a girl came all the way here, isn't the purpose to send troops to attack the Huns with Yan State? If Zhao Guo is unwilling to send troops again, then Yan Ning will definitely be very sad, Zhao Kuo doesn't want Yan Ning to be sad, so if he gets the opportunity, he must try his best to persuade Emperor Zhao, uh, he should change his name to his father, and persuade his father to send troops to Yan and attack the Xiongnu together with Yan.

Follow this Lian Yun to the palace, came to the main hall of the last dynasty, entered the door and found that both sides of the hall were already full of civil and military officials, many ministers saw Zhao Kuo and saluted him, these people Zhao Kuo did not know, so he could only nod his head.
