Shu'er and Lin Ying planned to go to Zhao Kingdom lightly.

Before leaving, Shu'er handed over a large box of expensive cosmetics from Biliang Cosmetics Shop and valuable medicinal materials from Yan's Pharmacy to Qing Yu and Yi Feng, and said to them: "My three-year appointment with your King of Shu will be overdue in January, but I really have something urgent to deal with here, and I can't go to Zichuan for the time being. You took these gifts to make amends for the king of Shu for me, saying that I would personally take the sword of King Huai to Shu to ask for sins within half a year at the latest. ”

Qing Yu and Yi Feng hesitated for a moment. Qing Yu was embarrassed: "Lord, Your Highness asked us to take care of the Huaiwang Sword, we naturally have to stay on this sword, how can we leave the sword and return to Shu?" ”

Yi Feng was also puzzled: "But His Highness said that we should obey the orders of the lord." The lord ordered us to go back to Shu to report to His Highness, how could we not go? ”

Shu'er said helplessly: "Forget it, I'm not embarrassed for you." This box of atonement, I still let the brothers in Xiling send it to His Royal Highness the King of Shu! Over the years, they have escorted Biliang Ningxiang and precious medicinal materials from Shu Kingdom, and they have earned a lot of silver from me, and they should also do an errand for me. ”

So Shu'er and Lin Ying had to take Qingyu and Yifeng together. Lin Ying couldn't help laughing and said: "The King of Shu is really well-intentioned, and he lacks skills, so he sent two such majestic brothers to keep an eye on you." I see that the drunkard does not mean to drink, but simply in the name of this sword, he is staring at you, afraid that you will run away with others. ”

Shu'er glared at Lin Ying and said, "You're talking nonsense again." The king of Shu is wholeheartedly devoted to his queen, even if he gives me some small favors, he really wants to collect this sword, and he never means what you said. ”

Lin Ying laughed even more evilly: "Sister Shu'er, you don't know how good you are. Maybe if you go to Zhao this time, King Zhao will also take a fancy to you. Didn't the King of Shu have a queen? King Zhao doesn't, he is a lonely man, although he is a few years older than my father, but he is also the king of a country, he is not married, you are not married, you can still consider it. It's a pity that you probably won't be willing to deign to marry King Zhao. ”

Shu'er slapped Lin Ying on the head and said, "Can you kid think about something serious?" ”

Lin Ying covered her head and said, "If I hadn't broken my sleeves, I would have married you early, and it would not have been the turn of those old and hairy monarchs to covet you one by one." ”

Shu'er's eyes widened and asked, "Xiaoying...... Do you really dislike women? ”

Lin Ying smiled bitterly: "I also want to like women, but I just can't do it." My mother has always wanted to tell me about my family, but when I met the ladies and girls, I thought they were not as good-looking as me......"

Shu'er Zhengse said: "Don't joke with me anymore. ”

Lin Ying also said with a straight face: "I love to laugh, doesn't prove that I am joking all day long!" Sister Shu'er, I never lied to you. ”

Shu'er didn't know what to do, she never thought that Lin Ying would really be a broken sleeve as the rumors said. He was originally a carefree little lord of the Shengwang Mansion, but because of the war in the Chu State, he avoided the disaster in the Chen State, not only lived a life of many years of frugality, but also had to make a difficult choice between making money and painting. Now that the hard days have finally come to an end, he finds that he doesn't like women, could it be that Lin Ying's life is so tortuous?

Seeing that Shu'er was stunned, Lin Ying regained her smile again, and said with crooked eyebrows: "Why do you look at me as a lonely old man for life?" I think it's good, it's just like you, I like men. King Zhao is old, isn't he married? Maybe he's just like me. If he looks down on you, it's because he looks down on me! ”

Shu'er was amused by him, but she couldn't help but feel sad. Lin Ying saw the compassion in her eyes mixed with pity, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Now you know, our friendship between sisters and brothers is actually 'sisterly love'." I'm different, and since you can't change it, don't worry about it. Let's go to Zhao State to deal with King Zhao quickly, go to Song State as soon as possible, and you will accompany me back to Chu State to visit my father as soon as possible. If my father still won't let me stay, I will go to Zichuan in Shu with you to play, and we will go back to Chen to continue to make a lot of money. If my father asks me to stay and help him, I will trouble you to go to Chen Guo to pick up my mother. ”

The terrain of Zhao is flat and open, and the fertile land farmhouses are very regular. Since Shu'er entered the territory of Zhao Kingdom, many farmers and peasant women can be seen working hard in the fields, harvesting rice, and there are children chasing birds and picking flowers in the fields, laughing in groups under the blue sky. Shu'er couldn't help but envy the people of Zhao State, and felt that they lived purer than the people of Chen State and safer than the people of Chu State, which must be due to King Zhao Dugu's way of governing the world without dispute.

The Pingliang house is simple, not much more delicate than the farmhouse along the way, as the capital of Zhao Guoguo, it is not as gorgeous as Fanjing, there is no hustle and bustle of the jade capital, and there is no liveliness of the river. The streets of Pingliang are mostly peasant couples trading crops and livestock, and their smiles are simple, and they are not as pretentious as the talented ladies of the rich and noble families in Fanjing.

The Pingliang Chamber of Commerce was held in Zhao Guoning and the palace. Ninghe Palace is not as large as a quarter of the White Jade Palace, and the decoration is not exquisite, and it is not a conspicuous palace in the Pingliang, but it is like the mansion of the ordinary official eunuchs of Chen State.

Entering Ninghe Palace, Lin Ying whispered to Shu'er: "Why is this Zhao Wang Lao'er's palace so miserable? It's better to buy a new house in Fanjing, at least there are pavilions, rockeries and fake waters. King Zhao's palace, is it possible that it is also used for farming? ”

Shu'er glanced around at the few merchants dressed as Song people who entered the palace with them, and whispered to Lin Ying: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I bombard you and leave." ”

Lin Ying quickly pursed her lips with a hippie smile and didn't speak again.

Seeing that more than a dozen merchants had gathered at the palace gate, the palace people of Ninghe Palace came over to salute and said, "Distinguished guests, please wait with me in Chengyu Palace, and His Royal Highness will arrive later." ”

Shu'er, Lin Ying, Qing Yu, and Yifeng were the most conspicuous among the merchants, and two Shu merchants came up and asked, "I don't know which young master of Chen Guo you are?" The other sighed: "Yes, I am young, and I have two eye-catching guards, I heard that the three young people of the bamboo forest of the Chen Guoqin family are about this age." The former asked, "Are you Chen Guoqin's family?" ”

Lin Ying remembered that the three young men of the bamboo forest, who were bullying the bully, had bullied him on the old city tower a few years ago, listening to the tone of these two Shu businessmen, she was also very dissatisfied with the three young masters of the Qin family, and couldn't help but look at them with the corners of her mouth crooked, but she listened to Shu'er's previous threat, and did not open her mouth to answer.

Without waiting for Shu'er to answer, Qing Yu and Yi Feng stepped forward to block the two Shu merchants who were getting closer and closer, and Qing Yu said in Shu Mandarin: "Hugh is rude to the lord. ”

The two Shu merchants looked at each other, and suddenly realized that the young man with the sword was the young lord of the ten sects and eight factions in Xiling. I didn't dare to provoke at the moment, so I hurriedly saluted and said embarrassedly: "Fortunately, I will be happy."
