"Let's have something to eat!" Zhao Shuo pointed to the breakfast in front of him and said to Ori Yanye.

"Lord Wang, I~" When Zhi Yanyan came in, he was just in time for Zhao Shuo to have breakfast. This makes him feel very awkward, and it feels like he's here for breakfast. He regretted it a little, feeling that this time it seemed that it was really too early.

"Why are you stunned, come here." Zhao Shuo looked at Zhi Yanye, who was stunned in place, and said with a smile. "This is a delicacy in the world, if you don't eat it, don't regret it in the future!"

Zhi Yanye was amused by Zhao Shuo, arched his hand, and said. "Then the little brother is disrespectful."

What Orihiko didn't expect was that this seemed to be an ordinary breakfast, but it tasted different. They all look familiar, but the taste is vastly different.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" Orihiko exclaimed as he ate. "Lord Wang, such a good cook, where did you get it?"

"Why, is Brother Hikono planning to kidnap even my cook after eating?" Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Sister Yan Wu won't leave the prince! If you want Sister Yan Wu to leave, let's die of this heart! Fluttershy, who was serving Zhao Shuo to eat, muttered at this time.

"Fluttershy, how do you speak?" Zhao Shuo glared at Fluttershy, then smiled at Orihiko. "This girl is spoiled by me, don't blame Brother Hikono!"

Of course, Zhi Yanye had no intention of abducting Zhao Shuo's cook, and when he heard Zhao Shuo say this at this moment, he hurriedly said. "What did the prince say, it's to blame me, it's really not right to come over and disturb so early in the morning, it shouldn't be!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo asked. "By the way, this king has always wanted to ask? Brother Hikono came here so early, what's the urgency! ”

Zhao Shuo came back yesterday and has been thinking about whether he has said too much. He said everything he could pick out, but in fact, he still had a certain amount of worry in his heart. It wasn't until he saw Orihiko come over so early that he was somewhat relieved.

"Actually, it was still yesterday, and I didn't have time to say a lot of things, and I was worried that it would affect future cooperation, so I ran over early in the morning." Originally, Orihiko only wanted to talk about what he wanted to explain, but after seeing the hot beer sales in the morning, he completely changed his mind.

"Is it a problem with the store?" Zhao Shuo rubbed his nose. "Yesterday, the king's words may have been a little too much, and he actually forgot the main thing, this brain, it's really ......"

"Alas~" With a long sigh, Zhao Shuo continued. "After a few days of investigation, this king fell in love with three shops, all of which were on Tianfu Street in Fuzhou. One is around the prefect's yamen, the other is in the southern city of Fuzhou, and the last one is in the northern city where civilians live. ”

Tianfu Street runs through the entire Fuzhou City, and the Nancheng generation is a wealthy family in Fuzhou, most of which are the boundaries where the children of the Zhe family live, such as Zhe Yanye lives in that area. The prefect's yamen is located in the center of Fuzhou City, which is a layout that Zhao Shuo did not guess, and the Beicheng generation is a place where civilians and merchants live, most of whom are poor and some small merchants and hawkers.

"Okay, I'll take a look at it and take these stores down." Zhi Yanye happily agreed, then wiped the corners of his mouth and said. "Lord Wang, in fact, I came here so early, mainly to congratulate you."

"Congratulations to the king?" Zhao Shuo stared at Ori Yanye, thinking about the meaning of Ori Yanye's words in his mind.

"My father has agreed to your marriage to Ying'er." Zhi Yanye didn't let Zhao Shuo wait too long, and spoke directly. "Say, is this something to congratulate?"

"Oh? That's a good thing! Zhao Shuo laughed. He let Ori Yanye see the Holy Decree, naturally so that Orihino told Ori Keqiu about the Holy Decree. But there has been no news from the Zhe family, and Zhao Shuo guessed that it should be related to Jin Guo and Xia Guo. The Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty were at war, and Zhao Shuo, as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, rashly agreed to this marriage by the Zhe family, which is likely to make the Jin State misunderstand that the Zhe family fell to the Great Song Dynasty. Also, Zhao Shuo swaggered through the eastern border of the Western Xia, the sworn enemy of the Zhe family, which is also suspicious. It is impossible not to doubt the relationship between Zhao Shuo and Western Xia. If Zhao Shuo had a relationship with Xixia, it would be absolutely impossible for them to marry Zheyueying to such a person.

Now that Zhi Yanye actually told him that Zhi Ke had asked for permission to this marriage, Zhao Shuo was surprised in his heart. This shows that something must have happened in the past few days. But in any case, Zhao Shuo's first step in uniting the Fuzhou family was finally successful.

"Does the prince know that my father will definitely agree to this marriage?" Seeing that Zhao Shuo was not so excited, Orihiko asked with some doubts.

"How could Brother Hikono have such an idea?" Zhao Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Lord Wang, I always have a feeling, as if you know what will happen in the future!" Zhao Shuo frowned. "I know it's a bit ridiculous, but that's what I think."

"You're thinking too much." Zhao Shuo got up, walked to Orihino's side, and patted him on the shoulder. "I've been looking around for the past few days, and I've heard some news, as if the envoys of the Jin Kingdom are here."

Zhao Shuo did not call himself the king, but used me, which can be regarded as getting closer to the relationship with Orihino.

"When the envoy of the Jin Kingdom comes, the prince can guess that my father will use this marriage?" Regarding Zhao Shuo's statement, Zhi Yanye naturally didn't believe it.

"If my guess is correct, Jin Guo is here to win over the prefect!" As the leader of Fuzhou, Zhao Shuo thought about it, and still gave the title according to the highest local official. "It should be roughly the territory occupied in the south, which cannot be controlled, and wants to prop up a puppet regime. Folding the prefect is a target they want to woo. ”

Without waiting for Zhi Yanye to answer, Zhao Shuo continued. "With the loyalty of the prefect to the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally had to reject this proposal. rejected the Jin State, and had a feud with the Western Xia, in such a troubled era, the only thing that the Zhe family could rely on was the Great Song Dynasty, which was constantly retreating south. Although Da Song once did something sorry for the Zhi family, for now, this is the only choice for the Zhi family. ”

"Lord Wang, you, you~ are really a god." Orihikono opened his mouth wide, completely stupid.

Zhe Ke begged him to tell Zhao Shuo, that is, the envoys of the Jin State came, and then the marriage, the Zhe family agreed, and now that the card is there, it doesn't matter if he tells it or not, because Zhao Shuo has already guessed it.

"This is the only choice you can make now, although there are still many flaws, but you go back and tell the prefect of Zhefu to rest assured that I will not let him regret this choice." Zhao Shuo patted the stunned Ori Yanye and said something that made him even more confused. (To be continued.) )
