Chapter 174: Greetings

It's just that Zhao Zijian came far faster than Zhongli imagined.

The next day, Zhao Zijian's greeting post was sent to Zhuangzi, but it was not for Zhongli, but for Zhao Yiyan.

However, Zhao Yiyan didn't get used to the other party's meaning, and directly asked people to reply to the letter, if you want to visit, just come directly to Zhuangzi.

Zhongli couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly at Zhao Yiyan.

What kind of place is your Zhuangzi? No matter what, people are here by order.

"You think I'm going to believe that? You just don't want to get into trouble anymore, but the other party intends to participate in this academy selection, so even if you want to escape, you can't escape. ”

Listening to Zhongli's euphemistic persuasion of his plan to return to the palace, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but sneer.

Zhongli put his right hand into a fist to his lips and coughed dryly, couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yiyan, and spoke a little embarrassed.

"Well, you saw through it, but there is a sentence that you haven't heard? Don't say it! ”

Zhao Yiyan didn't embarrass Zhongli, but still invited the other party to receive Zhao Zijian with him.

It's just that Zhao Yiyan's words have just fallen, and I saw a greeting note brought in by Rumo outside, which looked exactly the same as what Zhao Yiyan had just gotten.

Zhongli couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and glanced at Zhao Yiyan helplessly.

Now, even if you want to escape, you can't do it!

On the official road.

Zhao Zijian deliberately slowed down the team, and walked all the way to the border city.

"Lord Wang, why don't you hurry up? Seeing that the border city is ahead, and haven't you already asked people to send a prayer post in? ”

Zhu Yanqing had been to the border city once, and he was very familiar with this place, so he asked.

Although Zhao Zijian is now a prince, he is the same as he was back then, he does not have a high shelf, but is much more approachable than before.

This made him very famous in the entire court.

It is precisely because of his growing reputation that he wants to come out for a walk, and under his fame, sometimes it is not easy to mix!

Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now fighting with the three princes, and the emperor is guarding against them with a pair of fiery eyes and cautiously.

"Hmph, you don't know that, do you? When you come to visit, you always have to give time to clean up and dress up. ”

Zhu Yanqing glanced at Zhao Zijian a little weirdly, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth twice.

Pack up and dress up?

If you don't know, when you hear this, you probably think that which man wants to meet his daughter at night!

"However, the purpose of our trip is for the Border City Academy! And we're already two days late, and I've heard that the academy here has already started to accept people for selection! ”

Zhao Zijian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, his face was still light and light.

He chuckled and nodded.

"Yes! It's late! ”

Zhongli dared to throw his face at Zhao Zijian back then, but now he can't.

The situation is becoming clearer and clearer, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a unique advantage, but he did not take advantage of it, but challenged the emperor's bottom line many times, one king, one minister, one father and one son, and began to carry out various tentative actions.

That's not all, the mother family of the three princes is prominent, relying on the status of the noble concubine and the help of the mother family, and even a tie with His Royal Highness the Prince.

In particular, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been frequently exposed to scandals in recent years, and his prestige above the court has obviously dropped again and again.

If three years ago the emperor would have defended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but now, it is completely laissez-faire.

The other princes are not yet old enough to become officials in the court, so Zhongli is not very clear about them.

It's just that the four princes, although they are silent, but in just three years, they do not form a party, do not engage in personal interests, and go home every day to teach their children after doing the emperor's errands, and perfectly build themselves into a virtuous king, and they have a very good reputation in the court.

Sometimes, even when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince pinched too much, they would reconcile the contradictions between the two families, so that everyone could see the brothers, friends and brothers who were upheld.

Zhongli frowned, thinking about the chaotic situation that might occur after Zhao Zijian came, and couldn't help but have a headache.

Things are getting more and more out of control!

She has a premonition, or a bad premonition, Zhao Zijian is coming this time, maybe something will happen.

However, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and when the time comes, it will be really impossible to block the soldiers, and the water will cover it.

She has been preparing for so many years, and I believe that even if she encounters any problems, there is Zhao Yiyan in front of her.

Thinking so, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhongli has been in a trance recently, and Zhao Yiyan naturally doesn't know it, and it is precisely because he knows that he is a little worried.

"Are you alright?"

He frowned and looked at the absent-minded Zhongli, and after asking twice, he saw Zhongli turn his head and look at him blankly.

"What? What's wrong? ”

Zhao Yiyan looked at the other party a little helplessly, frowned and shook his head gently.

"What's wrong? I would also like to ask you what happened? Don't you know that you have been a little abnormal since you knew that Zhao Zijian came? ”

Zhongli was taken aback, took a step back, and looked at Zhao Yiyan in astonishment.

"I, am I really that obvious?"

Zhao Yiyan nodded.

"What's going on? How else can you tell me? ”

He didn't understand, these two people hadn't had any contact for three years, and now that Zhao Zijian was here, why was Zhongli so strange?

Zhongli exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity and looked at Zhao Yiyan and shook his head helplessly.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly thought that Xiao Si has now entered the academy under my arrangement, and Zhao Zijian is coming over now, I don't know if he will have any opinion on this matter."

When Zhao Yiyan heard this, his eyes looked at Zhongli deeply.

It's okay to fool others with this kind of talk, but it's no longer okay to fool yourself!

He frowned and shook his head at Zhongli.

"You know, his attitude has been laid out, so you don't know what you're bothering about, what ...... you are"

He approached Zhongli step by step.

Zhongli, on the other hand, hurriedly stepped back step by step, leaning against the wall with a stiff face and an embarrassed expression.

"No, there isn't."

She shook her head.

Zhao Yiyan saw that she didn't mean to say it, so she could only sigh helplessly and shake her head at Zhongli.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it. Just know that if anything happens, I'll always be there for you. ”

Zhongli's originally stiff expression had only eased a lot now, and she nodded at Zhao Yiyan with difficulty, with a faint smile on her face, but she was beating a drum in her heart.

Really, will it be okay?

And on the official road.

At this time, even if Zhao Zijian asked the team to slow down and slow down, there would always be a time to reach the border city.

There were already officials standing here outside the border city, waiting to meet Zhao Zijian.

Zhao Zijian frowned and looked at the group of people in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"How do you know that this king is coming today?"

One of the officials stood up respectfully, arched his hand towards Zhao Zijian, lowered his head, and replied respectfully.

"Back to the prince's words, it is the order of the king of Qingyang, saying that you will definitely arrive today, let the ministers and others wait here."

Although Zhao Zijian is also a prince now, and King Qingyang is also a prince, but because Zhao Zijian is a prince, even if King Qingyang now holds military power, his status is a little lower than Zhao Zijian.

"Really? I haven't seen him for many days, Zhao Yiyan has also learned fortune telling? ”

However, since he already knew where Zhao Yiyan was, Zhao Zijian directly waved away all the officials and asked him to take him directly to the Zhong family Zhuangzi.

Zhu Yanqing was a little displeased.

Thinking of what Zhongli had persuaded Xiao Shizi to stay at the beginning, he felt irritable in his heart.

If it weren't for Xiao Shizi's matter, how could he have been snubbed by the prince for so many years? If he hadn't come to the border city this time, thinking that he was still a little familiar with Zhongli and Zhao Yiyan, he would probably be ignored by the prince in his life.

So, how can you not hold a grudge?

But even if he was jealous in his heart, thinking of the importance that the prince attached to Zhongli, he was still a little jealous.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanqing smiled shyly at Zhao Zijian.

"Lord Wang, since these officials are here for you, isn't it bad to let them leave? Besides, you are a Qincha, what is this if you openly live in Zhongli's Zhuangzi? You forgot, the emperor ......"

Zhao Zijian snorted coldly, turned his head and glanced at the man, his expression was extremely gloomy.

"What? Are you teaching Ben Wang to do things now? ”

Zhu Yanqing came into contact with the frost-like eyes, and her heart froze quickly, and she arched her body directly, lowering her eyes and arching her hand towards Zhao Zijian.

"The grass people don't dare."

Zhao Zijian glanced at him, pursed his lips, and threw him back.

"For three years, you still don't know what you're doing wrong, and you still want to be on par with Zhongli. If this king finds out again, hum ......"

Zhao Zijian snorted coldly again, glanced at the other party coldly, turned around and strode away.

Zhu Yanqing clenched her fists, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and glared at Zhao Zijian in front of her angrily, her eyes red.

Zhongli! Rajah!

Let's see!

Zhongli was waiting for Zhao Zijian in the Zhuangzi, when he heard someone from outside report that Zhong Lijue had a fight with someone in the academy.

What the?

Zhongli couldn't help but frown.

In this era, it is different from the previous life, such a thing as a fight can be big or small, and the most important thing is, how can Zhong Lijue do it with people?

His face changed drastically and he got up and went out, but before leaving, he asked Rumo to inform the rest of the family.

He goes and goes.

The academy is not very far from the Zhong family's Zhuangzi, especially since Zhongli also built a small road between their Zhuangzi and the academy, which is much closer to there.

And in front of the Border City Academy.

The carved "The road is long, I will go up and down and seek" carved on the huge mountain stone still shows his domineering spirit to the world.

Zhongli had to look at it every time he came over, as a way to remember his past life, which was already somewhat vague.

Only this time she didn't have the leisure at all.

"Chief Song, do you know what happened?"
