Chapter Ninety-One: Miyue has arrived
After Zhuge Liang settled the dispute between the merchants and the Jia, he returned to the palace.
Zhao Changqing was not in the mood to accompany Zhuge Liang after the banquet, so he sent someone to spend money to buy him a big mansion and let him live in Qi County.
As for why he didn't let him live in the palace?
is because as soon as he sees Zhuge Liang now, Zhao Changqing feels headache and heartache.
If he continues to stay in the palace, maybe there will be some moths in the future!
And just in case, Zhao Changqing asked him to report in the barracks again, and he said that he wanted Zhuge Liang to train his troops.
Zhuge Liang didn't think much about it.
Because he's already grateful to Dade.
is really a good lord, not only to buy himself a big house, but also to let himself put into work as soon as possible and show his ambitions!
Now it seems that it is really a wise move to be determined to assist King Qi!
After Zhuge Liang went to the military camp to start training his soldiers, he was reported by the scout, saying that the princess of Chu had arrived in Qi County and was rushing in the direction of the palace.
Zhao Changqing was shocked, "Are you really here?"
The scout knelt on the ground, nodded and said, "I'll be at the palace soon." β
Zhao Changqing put his hands behind his back, secretly clenched his fists, and asked, "Since she came to Qingzhou, have you seen anyone?"
The scout shook his head and said, "According to what the Sword Pavilion brothers said, they didn't see anyone, and they didn't travel along the way, as if they couldn't wait to come to our Qi County. β
Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said: "Close the palace, just say that this king is in poor health and will not see any guests." Isn't she quite dragging? Just forgive her for a few days and inform everyone that we must not inform the princess and her party that Wei Wuji came to assassinate her and was captured by us. β
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Qi!" the scout replied and withdrew.
Sure enough, after a while, Mi Yue and the others came to the palace.
Chu Hong stood outside the gate of the palace, and when he saw the faΓ§ade of the entire palace for the first time, he was a little surprised, and said to Mi Yue, who was standing beside him:
"It seems that this King of Qi is really as extravagant and arrogant as the people of our Chu State have rumored, and he has built the palace so gorgeously that it is about to catch up with the faΓ§ade of the palace, right? β
Mi Yue said: "Be quiet, this is Qingzhou, no matter what we say or behave, we must be cautious." β
Chu Hong nodded.
Afterwards, they were about to pay a visit to King Qi, but they heard the guard at the door say: "His Royal Highness King Qi is in poor health today, and he will not see guests, even if you have His Majesty's will, you can't do it!"
The guard spoke decisively.
Miyue and the others were stunned when they heard it.
Are the palace guards so domineering?
Didn't even obey the will of the Great Wei Emperor?
Is it really that this is the emperor of the sky?
However, even if the guard said such a heart-wrenching theory, Miyue and the others did not dare to inform the Great Wei Emperor of this matter, lest they fall into the name of a separated father and son, which would not be good.
Mi Yue said to the guard: "I don't know what disease His Royal Highness King Qi is suffering from?
Chu Hong muttered in a low voice: "We just came here and called it sick, how could things be so coincidental?"
The guard replied coldly, "I don't know, don't ask." β
As soon as Chu Hong heard the tone of the guard, he became angry and said, "Why are you a little janitor so rampant?
The guards didn't care about this, he only had Zhao Changqing, the king of Qi, in his heart, and he didn't ask anything else, and he didn't give face.
Mi Yue pulled the corner of his clothes, shook his head at him, signaled him not to be angry, and then said to the guard: "In this case, this princess will not bother much, I will stay here for a while, and wait for His Royal Highness King Qi's condition to improve." β
After speaking, he wanted to leave, but before he took two steps, a person came out of the palace, stopped them, and said: "The princess of Chu is slow, my prince said that if the princess insists on staying in Qi County and not leaving, then you can take advantage of this time to wander around Qi County, and it is good that you haven't come back in vain." β
When Mi Yue heard this, she suddenly thought of something else in her heart, and asked, "Can you go anywhere?"
The man nodded, "Naturally." β
Mi Yue smiled: "Is it possible to go to the military camp too?"
The man hesitated, "This..."
Mi Yue smiled and shook her head, ready to leave, first go to the official post station to rest for one night.
The man hurriedly stopped her again and said, "Princess, wait, wait for me to ask the prince first." β
As soon as Mi Yue heard that there was a play, she waited quietly with peace of mind.
Chu Hong was puzzled and asked, "Why does the princess want to go to the barracks?"
Mi Yue replied: "Actually, the reason is very simple, this princess just wants to see how this King of Qi has established such a brave and invincible cavalry. β
Chu Hong suddenly smiled and said: "It's still the princess's foresight, in this way, you can also explore the reality of Qingzhou's military strength, after all, this Wei State Qingzhou borders our Chu State!"
Mi Yue then said: "But I guess that there is very little hope that we can go, after all, if you were Zhao Changqing, would you agree to let me go to your military camp?"
I'm afraid I can't, right?"
Chu Hong was a little puzzled again: "Then why do we have to wait for an answer that we already know?"
Mi Yue said: "Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, and waiting for more is not in the way." β
Chu Hong heard this and nodded.
After the man entered the palace, he reported the matter to the king of Qi.
Zhao Changqing was puzzled: "Go to the barracks, what are you doing in my barracks? Could it be that you want to spy on the military?"
When the man heard the prince say this, he also quite agreed, "The prince guessed correctly, but in this way, the intention they showed was too obvious, right?"
Zhao Changqing didn't think about it.
Maybe it's because the princess of Chu is missing roots?
But no matter what, what is the purpose of the other party, this matter is essentially a good thing!
Just because the barracks are heavy, idlers are not allowed to enter.
They are from the Chu State, and the people of the Chu State came to the Wei State military camp, no matter how you look at this matter, it is untenable, and it has other intentions.
Don't have any intentions!
So you can receive a wave of mediocrity from time to time, right?
There is nothing more mediocre than letting a former enemy country go to the barracks, right?
So Zhao Changqing asked him to tell Miyue everyone what he meant.
He went out of the palace again and said to Mi Yue and the others: "According to the meaning of the prince, it is okay for you to visit the military camp, but you need to accompany you, after all, you don't know the direction of my Qi County military camp."
And the prince also said that the people in the barracks are all rough men, as long as the princess's daughter doesn't mind, the prince has nothing to say. β
When Mi Yue heard what he said, she couldn't believe it.
Did he really agree with me going?
Chu Hong snickered: "It seems that this King of Qi is nothing more than that, and he actually agreed to let us visit the military camp." Didn't he understand that the relationship between Chu and Wei was not so friendly?"
Mi Yue shook her head and whispered, "Don't take it so seriously, even if you are a fool, you know that it is best not to agree with us to go." But is Zhao Changqing a fool? Obviously not, since he agreed, I am afraid that he will have other intentions. β
Chu Hong frowned, feeling that what the princess said was very reasonable.
Mi Yue asked, "Did King Qi really let me go?"
The man said, "Can this be fake?"
Mi Yue smiled, "Then bother Your Excellency to lead the way, by the way, I still don't know Your Excellency's name?"
The guard with the knife said, "Well, my name is Zhang San." β
Even in front of foreign princesses, Zhang San felt that he had to be neither humble nor arrogant, and he could not fall into the prestige of the Qi Palace.
