After resting for a night, early the next morning, under the protection of the imperial capital army led by Zhang Chengfei and Shan Xin, it took a day for Zhao Kuo, Zhang Meng and the Shadow Mouse to step into the long-lost Ghost Crying Forest.
After walking like this for nearly ten days or so, what appeared in front of Zhao Kuo and Zhang Meng was a vast expanse that left the barren mountain range smoothly.
Out of the forbidden Ghost Cry Forest, Zhao Kuo and their speed of progress was faster......
Under the condition of flying with magic weapons, two hours later, they returned to Chongyuan City, the imperial city of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Looking at the long-lost human habitation, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Chengfei, Zhao Kuo came to the palace of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
As soon as she entered the palace, Zhang Meng left first under the leadership of the palace maid, thinking that she should go to report her safety to her relatives first.
"Xiaoyou has worked hard for so long, let's rest today. Zhang Chengfei suggested.
In the face of Zhang Chengfei's suggestion, Zhao Kuo did not object, and the guest was as he pleased.
Under Zhang Chengfei's arrangement, the palace maid led Zhao Kuo and the shadow mouse who was handed over to Zhao Kuo to the guest room in the palace.
As soon as he entered the guest room, he waved away the palace maid arranged by Zhang Chengfei to serve him, and Zhao Kuo lay directly on the bed.
The feeling of the bed after a long absence, Zhao Kuo fell asleep all of a sudden.
By the time Zhao Kuo woke up again, it was already the next morning.
After a good night's rest, Zhao Kuo's spirit was obviously a little better than before, and the fatigue accumulated during this time seemed to disappear in a sleep.
After that, Zhao Kuo called into the palace maid and washed up under the service of the palace maid.
As soon as I finished washing, a shadow was ushered in outside the room.
Seeing this shadow, the palace maids hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Slave maid to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess, Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
"It's all out of courtesy. Zhang Meng's princess was full of posture, so that Zhao Kuo, who was standing, didn't know how to face it for a while.
After getting along for two months, I suddenly asked Zhao Kuo to kneel down and say hello to Zhang Meng, to be honest, it was really weird and awkward.
Zhang Meng in front of him took off his disguise, revealing his original appearance of captivating the country and the city, with a well-dressed and noble temperament, which made Zhao Kuo a little surprised.
It's another red face and trouble, this is the first thought that comes to Zhao Kuo after seeing the real Zhang Meng, and it's no wonder that Zhang Meng will wear a human skin mask to cover his original appearance during the experience.
At this time, Zhang Meng put on a majestic side and looked at Zhao Kuo, who was stunned: "Bold, when I saw this princess, I didn't kneel down to say goodbye." ”
Zhao Kuo was brought back to his senses by Zhang Meng's sudden appearance, but he was not frightened by Zhang Meng's posture.
After two months of sharing weal and sorrow, Zhao Kuo also has a bottom in his heart about what kind of person Zhang Meng is.
However, since Zhang Meng wants to play, Zhao Kuo doesn't mind accompanying her in a play.
"Grass people Han Kuo, please say hello to the princess. Her Majesty the Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose"
He said the words of greeting An, and at the same time made a gesture of kneeling down to say goodbye.
It's just that before Zhao Kuo could kneel, Zhang Meng had already stopped him, and his words revealed the joy of success: "Just kidding, Han Kuo, you really take it seriously." ”
Zhao Kuo had long known that Zhang Meng was joking, but Zhang Meng still didn't know that he already knew.
However, at this time, Zhang Meng had already spoken out to end this joke, and Zhao Kuo had no reason to continue acting.
"I already knew that. ”
"I know, then you're still oh, so you're playing tricks on me, I should have made you kneel just now. Zhang Meng suddenly realized that when she was joking with Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo was also joking with her, and the two thought of going together quite tacitly.
"Why didn't you see that little guy?" After messing around with Zhao Kuo, Zhang Meng remembered the shadow mouse that had been entrenched on his shoulder before.
Zhang Meng had just mentioned the Shadow Mouse when a black shadow flashed over his shoulder.
Zhang Meng felt a fluffy gadget rubbing against his face, and the smile on his face deepened.
At this time, there was a voice outside the house asking to see, and under the announcement of the princess Zhang Meng, a little eunuch was led in by the palace maid.
"Slave Xiaoquanzi, please say hello to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
"No courtesy. Xiao Quanzi, what are you here for?" Zhang Meng teased the shadow mouse on his shoulder, and asked the little eunuch Xiao Quanzi who got up.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, the slave was ordered by the emperor to invite Han Gongzi to the imperial study to meet him. Xiao Quanzi replied respectfully.
"Father wants to see Han Kuo?" Zhang Meng glanced at Zhao Kuo, remembering the joke made by Emperor Zhang Heng of the Great Yuan yesterday, and his face couldn't help but flush.
"It just so happens that Princess Ben also wants to see her father. Zhang Meng wanted to cover it up, obviously she had only met her father Zhang Heng yesterday.
But no matter what, no one will stop Zhang Meng, and no one has any reason to stop the daughter who wants to see her father.
Accompanied by Zhang Meng, Zhao Kuo, under the leadership of Xiao Quanzi, came to the imperial study of Emperor Dayuan's office.
Outside the imperial study, there was already an old eunuch who was over half a hundred years old waiting outside the door.
"Slave Quan Desheng, please give peace to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness the Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
The old eunuch just wanted to salute Zhang Meng, but was stopped by Zhang Meng.
Although Quan Desheng is a slave of Zhang Meng's family, he is also one of the old people who grew up watching Zhang Meng, in Zhang Meng's heart, he has never regarded Quan Desheng as a slave.
It's just that Quan Desheng is a relatively stubborn person, and Zhang Meng's stop did not interrupt his salute.
After saying to Zhang Meng, "Etiquette cannot be abolished", Quan Desheng still knelt down and bowed to Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng actually has a headache for Quan Desheng's stubborn rules, but he really can't resist Quan Desheng.
After sighing helplessly, under Quan Desheng's advice, she and Zhang Meng entered the imperial study together.
In the imperial study, in addition to Zhang Heng, who was the Emperor of the Great Yuan, several other people were present, among them, Shan Xin, who had been with each other for several days before, was also present.
"The son asks his father to say goodbye, and his father is safe. ”
"Grass people Han Kuo, please say hello to the emperor, long live the emperor. ”
When facing Zhang Meng, Zhao Kuo can not care about the number of etiquette, but when facing the Great Yuan Emperor, Zhao Kuo can't do it.
"It's all exempt!" said Emperor Zhang Heng with a smile.
When Zhao Kuo first came in, Emperor Dayuan Zhang Heng was looking at Zhao Kuo.
It's just that Zhao Kuo in his eyes is no different from Zhao Kuo in Zhang Chengfei's eyes, if it weren't for Zhang Meng's own words, Zhang Heng couldn't believe that the one who protected his daughter in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge where there were many demon beasts was actually a teenager in the late stage of the foundation building period.
"Your name is Han Kuo, right?" Emperor Dayuan smiled and asked Zhao Kuo with a serious expression.
"Back to the emperor, Han Kuo is the name of the grass people. Zhao Kuo replied respectfully. Although his fake name is suspected of the crime of defrauding the king, there is no way to do it, who makes the Zhao family now a wanted criminal in the Great Shang Dynasty.
"Listen to your accent, you're a big businessman, right?" Zhang Heng, the Great Yuan Emperor, asked, looking at Zhao Kuo's expression and every move.
Although Zhao Kuo is the life-saving benefactor of her daughter Zhang Meng, it is difficult to guarantee that she did not intentionally approach their Dayuan royal Zhang family.
Fighting for the life of a woman who had known each other for less than a month, Emperor Zhang Heng of the Great Yuan felt unbelievable when he believed it.
At least, if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do that.
Of course, Zhang Heng can't be otherwise, he will live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but growing up in the royal family, he can't be blamed for being so guarded.
The fact that Emperor Zhang Heng could tell which country he was from just by his accent really surprised Zhao Kuo. But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Kuo also felt that it was normal, in his previous life, he couldn't also judge which province he was from by listening to the accent?
"Back to the royal family, the grass people are indeed big businessmen. Regarding the fact that he is a big businessman, Zhao Kuo has no intention of hiding it, even if he wants to hide it, he can't hide his accent.
"As a big businessman, do you know the Zhao family in Zhaocheng?" Emperor Dayuan asked tentatively.
At this moment when the royal family of the Great Shang has made a big move, no one of the big merchants will take it lightly.
The words of Emperor Zhang Heng of the Great Yuan Dynasty made Zhao Kuo feel shocked in his heart, if he hadn't heard that this sentence was just tentative, Zhao Kuo almost doubted whether his identity had been revealed.
However, even if he was shocked in his heart, Zhao Kuo was still silent on the surface.
"Back to the emperor, the grass people of Zhaocheng and Zhaocheng have heard of it, but because the grass people have been wandering outside for a long time, they don't know much about it. ”
"Really?" Emperor Zhang Heng of the Great Yuan Dynasty carefully observed Zhao Kuo and said, "Three months ago, the Zhao family in Zhaocheng was wiped out by the Dashang royal family. There are 237 people in the family, and now only 12 people are left at large. ”
Hearing the news, Zhao Kuo's heart was even more shocked.
There are only twelve people left, which means that many of the Zhao family members who escaped have been killed.
Recalling that the people who were preparing to participate in the experiment together in the Zhao family hall, although I don't remember the number of people, it should be about thirty.
Now that half a month has passed, more than half of the nearly thirty surviving Zhao family members have been ambushed.
Of course, this is not what Zhao Kuo is most concerned about, what Zhao Kuo is most concerned about is whether there are Zhao Dongsheng, Lu Xue and Zhao Ling'er among the half of the people who are ambushed.
Zhao Kuo really wanted to get more detailed information from the mouth of Emperor Zhang Heng of the Great Yuan, but he knew better that he couldn't do this at this time, once it was revealed that he was an orphan of the Zhao family, then perhaps, it was not as simple as a verbal temptation.
Zhao Kuo just wanted to speak, but was preempted by Zhang Meng beside him.
"Father, what are you doing?" Zhang Meng's tone revealed accusations, she understood her father Zhang Heng's position, but she couldn't bear the treatment of her life-saving benefactor Zhao Kuo like this.
"Meng'er, don't interject yet. "Emperor Zhang Meng of the Great Yuan did not stop tempting because of Zhang Meng's accusations.
However, his insistence on going his own way made Zhang Meng unbearable.
"Han Kuo came to our royal family at my invitation, not the prisoner who came to be tried. After saying it angrily, Zhang Meng pulled Zhao Kuo and prepared to leave the imperial study.
Before stepping out of the door of the imperial study, Zhang Meng did not forget to turn his head to Zhang Heng, the Great Yuan Emperor, and said: "Father, my daughter is not a child, I can also know people, for a person who is willing to save his daughter desperately, if his daughter can't defend him, then it is better to let his daughter die in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge like this." ”
After leaving such a sentence, Zhang Meng pulled Zhao Kuo out of the imperial study of the Great Yuan Dynasty without looking back, leaving behind the thoughtful Great Yuan Emperor Zhang Heng and the jealous Shan Xin and a number of ministers.
