CHAPTER XVII
Ying Zheng took his entourage back to the palace prepared for him by King Zhao. Because it was late at night, I didn't make much of a plan and let everyone rest below. Leaving Zhao Gao and Liu Chang to serve by his side.
"King, there are still many people arranged by Zhao Guo in this palace, from the guards to the dining room, and the villains are worried about ......."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows softly, and didn't care about what Zhao Gao said. He knew very well in his heart that King Zhao was not stupid enough to dare to do anything here, at most he was just staring at his daily life.
"Don't worry, we have 200 elite soldiers led by Gongsun Teng inside, and 600,000 troops of Wang Jian outside. It is equivalent to protecting the king inside and outside. No matter how bad it is, Meng Tian and I are still there, during the Zhao Kingdom, I followed the king every inch during the day, and I slept with the king at night. β
Ying Zheng's head hurt a little when he heard Liu Chang say that he wanted to sleep with him, and his head hurt even more. couldn't help but glance at him: "What nonsense, what sleep together, do you want to move your head?" β
"I'm not talking about sleeping together in the same bed, I'm talking about sleeping on the floor next to the bed, and if there's anyone who is not afraid of death, I'll kill him first."
"Okay, General Liu sleeps next to the bed, the villain sleeps near the door, I will know first if anyone wants to come in."
Ying Zheng suddenly felt that he was being ignored, one was Zhao Gao, who had served him with all his heart, and the other was Liu Chang, who had no face and no skin to protect him like a big brother since he was a child. In fact, in private, he was not so strict with them. They are all loyal people who shed their blood for him. Often he doesn't bother with them about trivial things.
But the two of them decided to sleep in the same room with him as if he didn't exist, and they didn't ask him if he agreed or not. I'm afraid he, the only king in the world, is so easy-going.
"Okay, there won't be any danger, Zhao Gao, you go out to sleep, Liu Chang ......"
"If you kill me, I won't go out, even if Wang Jian is here, I don't worry, King Zhao's grandson, like a ghost who lacks morality, I don't believe him."
Liu Chang probably wants to remember the assassination of King Zhao and Ying Zheng for the rest of his life.
"Yes, I don't believe it either, I'm going to keep it here."
"Liu Chang stay, Zhao Gao, you go back to the room, there are many people, and the king can't sleep well. Guarding the door of the room are all Gongsun Teng's people, and he is also in the side room, what can happen? β
It's rare for Ying Zheng to explain so much, Liu Chang feels more comfortable, at least he can stay. Zhao Gao heard him say that it was not good to sleep when there were too many people, so he didn't dare to insist, so he packed up and went out. But he went back to his room, got a thin quilt, and came to the door of Yingzheng again, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.
Ying Zheng, who was lying down, was not sleepy, he thought about today's palace banquet, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, what do you think about tonight's palace banquet?" β
Liu Chang, who was lying on the ground, was also awake, and he knew what Ying Zheng was asking: "King Zhao's heart is clear that he wants to marry his concubine to you." β
"What else?"
"The little fairy is not there."
"yes, she's not there."
Although there was no hope, but it couldn't be explained, tonight I am afraid that all the dignitaries and nobles with heads and faces in Jinyang are here. If Po Xi is really King Zhao's niece, why didn't he come?
"Either there is something hidden, or the little fairy is not King Zhao's niece at all."
"No, Percy wouldn't lie, she said yes, it must be."
"King, with all due respect, the little fairy must be looking for it, but in my opinion, the princess seems to be eyeing you, dancing up and down, but her eyes are looking at you directly, and she will not give up if she doesn't charm you."
"She wants to marry, but I don't marry, what can I do."
"If you want me to say, this princess is also extremely beautiful, it's nothing if you accept it, you really want to choose someone to look like, you can't take the princess, you can't say a cat or a dog."
"I won't take anyone or a woman from Zhao Kingdom, except for Poxi."
Ying Zheng actually vaguely remembers the meeting with Princess Ximo when he was a child. At a young age, he looked high, knowing that he was a proton, and his eyes were full of disdain. She probably didn't expect that one day she would have to rush to stick to herself.
Although it's not that he can't look down on her because he holds a grudge, in addition to the fact that he has already identified Poxi, there are many superficial women like Ximo in his harem, and he originally planned to leave a few to fill the faΓ§ade when he found Poxi, and the others either sent out of the palace or stayed to be a palace maid.
It is impossible to bring a noble person like Xi Mo back and send it away, and it is even more impossible to keep it as a palace maid. simply didn't provoke, and he didn't look down on her for half a point.
"I know you'll say that, but we don't have much time to stay in Zhao Kingdom, so we can't find the little fairy for a day and not return to Qin Country for a day?"
"I have a hunch that Perxi is in Jinyang."
"How so?"
"You said that last time you heard in Jinyang, the eldest princess of Wuhe brought her fifteen-year-old daughter back to Zhao and married Li Mu?"
"That's right." Liu Chang simply sat up: "Do you suspect that Princess Crane's daughter is a little fairy?" But the age is wrong. β
"I'm not sure, but Li Mu only has his wife by his side tonight, and he doesn't see Princess Xuanhe, which doesn't make sense."
"It's strange to say this, Princess Crane is the daughter of Empress Dowager Zhao, the sister of Prince Zhao, and it is said that King Zhao and Princess Crane have had a deep relationship since childhood. In terms of status, it is enough to appear at the palace banquet tonight. β
Ying Zheng had long planted the seeds of suspicion about Princess Crane, and now he is sure that things are definitely not so simple.
"Tomorrow, I will find a way to hide the details here, and I will say that I am too strong to drink, and I will not be able to recover for a while. Tomorrow there will be no one. β
Ying Zheng made a decision in his heart, closed his eyes and stopped talking. Liu Chang looked at him, and probably guessed what Ying Zheng wanted to do tomorrow, knowing that it was useless to talk more, so he also lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
At dawn, Liu Chang called Zhao Gao in, and after Ying Zheng gave the order, he took Liu Chang to avoid everyone and leave the palace.
"I really found that this Zhao Guo is not in line with us, and let people do this kind of stealing and touching dogs like climbing over the wall." Liu Chang's mouth began to be broken again: "However, it is probably because of me, a blessed person, who has not been discovered once." You see, the only time you went out by yourself was caught by Wang Jian back then, if I had found out that someone was following. β
Ying Zhengyan glanced at him: "Wang Jian has been following us for the first month or two since the day he appeared, and he has long known our whereabouts. β
Liu Chang stumbled as he walked, and played Lai: "Wang Jian doesn't count, if he doesn't want people to know, he will exist like a ghost, who can sense him." β
"Mother also knew that we would go out over the wall every night."
Liu Chang stumbled again, and his black face made Ying Zheng unbearable to hit him again.
Both of them have deliberately dressed up in disguise, so they are not so conspicuous when they mix in the bazaar. Walking into a teahouse and sitting, there are mixed fish and dragons here, and there are travelers and knights from all over the world, and news from all over the world can be heard.
Just as the two of them listened and watched quietly, a few people came in at the door. Liu Chang saw that it was the Ping'an Hou Liangbao, and his arrogant appearance continued unabated. Even the thugs surrounded him, and that virtue turned the nobles into hooligans.
The shopkeeper saw that it was Ping'an Hou, and his face was full of disgust, but he still changed a smile to greet him and took Liang Bao to the elegant seat. It's not far from winning their table.
Not long after Liang Bao sat down, another angry boy came in and looked at it, and walked directly to Liang Bao: "Guo is late, let Ping'an Hou wait for a long time, and forgive your sins." β
Liang Bao heard someone talking to him, and turned sideways to see that it was Guo Shou, the concubine of Prime Minister Guo Kai. Seeing the "like-minded" pig friends and dog friends, he grinned: "Not long after, I just arrived, take a seat." β
Guo Shou sat down: "I heard that the palace banquet arranged for King Qin last night was very lively, I wonder if the Marquis of Ping'an witnessed the demeanor of King Qin?" β
Liang Bao looked at him as if he had been stepped on by someone else's tail: "What is there to look at King Qin, I have known him since he was a proton." I'm not afraid to say it, he was still my follower back then, and he didn't take my rewards. β
"If that's the case, wouldn't King Qin still have to thank Ping'an Hou for taking care of him back then? He was like a rat crossing the street in our Zhao country. β
"That's... That's not true, even if he appears in front of me now, I don't look at him a few times. β
Liu Chang listened to it and felt that Liang Bao's ability to take himself seriously was probably innate, and he was doubled and cultivated the day after tomorrow, and he was simply unbeatable. looked at Ying Zheng again, and found that he was as stable as Mount Tai, and his expression was still the same, as if he didn't care.
In fact, let alone appearing at the palace banquet last night, Liang Bao didn't even arrive at the palace gate. King Zhao was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he directly asked Liang Wan to notify his mother's family and forbid Liang Bao to appear at the palace banquet. Today's Liang Wan scenery is not there, and Liang Bao himself is not angry, King Zhao has long been extremely tired of Liang Bao.
"It is said that this time your niece Ximo Gonggong is going to marry into the Qin Palace and become the king of Qin?"
"That's for sure, the King of Qin personally came to choose people, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, who else is more worthy of the King of Qin except Xi Mo?"
"But didn't King Qin directly take the eldest daughter of the Korean prince back to the palace directly, who is the king of Qin, I'm afraid that the coffin has not been decided, right?" The guests at the other table heard the conversation between Liang Bao and Guo Shou and found it interesting, so they joined the conversation.
"How can the eldest daughter of the Korean prince compare with us. Everyone in the world knows that South Korea is the weakest, and King Qin is not stupid, how can he find a worthless princess to be his wife. Liang Bao thought he was clever again
"This is also true, the Korean prince has been a prince for decades, and he has no rights at all. I spent some time in the capital of South Korea more than a decade ago. I heard that the Korean prince said that he wanted to marry the eldest princess of the crane, but later for some reason, the national letter of King Han came to marry the sister of the current king of Zhao. As a result, Prince Han didn't know, and when he saw the bride, he knew that the person was wrong. It is said that there was a big commotion. In the end, King Han threatened to abolish Prince Han's position as the prince if he made any more unreasonable trouble, and Prince Han stopped. The tea man sitting next door looked like a wanderer, and he didn't keep what he saw and heard and said it to everyone to talk about.
Ying Zheng gently sipped tea with a teacup in one hand, and habitually knocked on the table with the other. The twisted eyebrows made Liu Chang see that he was thinking about things again, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Liang Bao gathered around a few tea guests to join the chat, one of them said: "Speaking of Princess Crane is also bizarre, eighteen years ago I said that I went to Bashu for treatment, this treatment is more than ten years, and when I came back, I said that I married and gave birth to a daughter in Bashu, and my husband's family was downcast before returning to Zhao with my daughter." Not long after I came back, I married the general Li Mu again, just marry it, but I don't live in the general's mansion. What's even more bizarre is that almost no one has ever seen the appearance of Princess Crane's daughter, and no one even knows the name seriously, and it is only rumored from the palace that everyone is called Princess Po. I have seen the Empress Dowager Zhao in the palace a few times, but she is wearing a gauze hat, and no one has seen her true face. Some people say it's because it's too beautiful, while others say it's too ugly. β
"That's really legendary, but this princess and daughter don't live in the General's Mansion, so where do they live?" Someone interjected and asked.
After all, Liang Bao is also a relative of the emperor, so he knows a little about it, so he offers the treasure: "I know this, it is the private residence of the general of Dongcheng, I heard that Princess Crane does not like to be lively, and generally does not see guests." For the sake of safety, the general sent troops to protect the courtyard. So ordinary people can't get close. The mother and daughter didn't come out, and others couldn't get in, so naturally no one knew what the little princess looked like. β
Hearing this, Liu Chang looked at Ying Zheng and found that Ying Zheng rarely showed a not so calm expression: "Let's go." β
"Childe?" Liu Chang didn't react for a while, and when he saw that Ying Zheng was about to walk out of the teahouse, he quickly got up and followed behind Ying Zheng.
"Find an opportunity to teach Liang Bao a lesson."
"Ah, I thought you didn't care."
"Not for me, for Zhao Gao."
Liu Chang remembered that Zhao Gao was injured by Liang Bao and forced to be an internal servant. He and Zhao Gao originally had an iron relationship, but now that he heard Ying Zheng say that he wanted to teach Liang Bao a lesson, Liu Chang began to plan in his mind how to help Zhao Gao take revenge.
