At the end of November of the seventeenth year of Hongde, when Wen Shaobo, Tao Hong and other emerging forces in the country were taking advantage of this period to spare no effort to accumulate wealth, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, who had created the best opportunity for these civilian merchants, As guessed by many knowledgeable people in China, he was still traveling around Sanchuan and did not return to Daliang.
With Oona, Mijiang, Zongwei, and Suwangwei, Zhao Hongrun and his group of more than a hundred people sometimes rode horses on the vast grassland, sometimes hunted in the mountains and forests, and sometimes went to the tribes of various tribes. As a guest here, my life is so nourishing.
However, sometimes Zhao Hongrun still feels a little annoyed when he thinks about what he will have to face after returning to Daliang.
"Your Highness, Wang Fu sent someone to deliver a verbal message."
"Um...what did you say?"
"As expected by His Highness, just like the last time His Highness conquered Chu and returned victoriously, the princes from all over the country once again gathered in Daliang. But this time, it was not their princes who came, but they rushed to Daliang in person..."
Riding his horse and standing on a hillside, Zongwei Shen Yu looked at the opportunity and took advantage of his highness to rein in his horse and rest, and then mentioned the situation on the other side of Daliang to Zhao Hongrun at the right time.
Glancing at Oona in the distance who was chasing her prey under the protection of more than a dozen King Su guards, the smile that originally filled Zhao Hongrun's face disappeared unknowingly.
"Who are they?" Zhao Hongrun asked calmly.
Hearing this, Shen Yu lowered his voice and said: "Among the royal family, there are King Chengling, King Jiyang, King Zhongyang... Of course, there are also your highness's old acquaintances, King Yuanyang and his son... And among the noble families, please report to the court. There are more cases like this.”
Zhao Hongrun touched his chin when he heard this and asked: "In other words, half of the royal families and nobles of the Wei Dynasty stood up to jointly impeach me, right?"
"I'm afraid it's not just half of the Wei Dynasty..." Shen Yu said with a bitter smile.
Zhao Hongrun smacked his lips when he heard the words, looking unfazed by honor and disgrace. However, after a while, he sighed quietly, couldn't help but shook his head and said: "It's really sad, Shen Yu..."
Shen Yu naturally understood his Highness's sentiments, and sighed softly, saying: "Those guys only have interests in their eyes. How can they, like Your Highness, put the Wei State as their top priority?"
The two of them were talking when Mi Jiang came over slowly on his mount and asked calmly: "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at Mi Jiang, and said calmly: "I am here to open up territory for the Wei Dynasty. There are a group of guys in the country who can't wait to stab me in the back..."
Mi Jiang was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun and said in an unclear tone: "You are following my father's old path, do you know that?"
Mi Jiang, Mi Rui's biological father, was Xiong Hao, the king of Runan in the Chu state. He devoted his life to improving the status of the common people in Chu and weakening the rights of the aristocracy. He was a king who once enjoyed a high reputation among the common people of the Chu state.
But unfortunately, the reforms made by this king offended the interests of the Chu aristocratic circle, causing the Chu aristocrats to unite against Xiong Hao, the Runan lord. As a result, sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui died when they were young. His family was ruined and he had no choice but to flee to the country of Ba to avoid disaster with the help of Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng.
"Are you worried about me?" Zhao Hongrun asked with a smile.
Mi Jiang snorted softly when he heard this, and said with a cold face: "I'm just warning you."
"Is it really just a warning?"
"Seriously!...Do you think I need to worry about you?"
"Maybe you care about me a lot?"
"I? Care about you? Hum, that's ridiculous!" Mi Jiang turned her head away with a cold face.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said, "Mi Jiang, you have been very angry recently. Did you eat too much mutton recently and got angry?"
"You just get angry after eating mutton!" Mi Jiang snorted coldly.
Behind the two of them, Zongwei Shen Yu watched the two of them start their daily quarrels and bickering again, and shook his head helplessly.
But before leaving wisely, Shen Yu couldn't help but interject: "Your Highness, Lord Mi Jiang has been very angry recently. Do you think you did anything to make Lord Mi Jiang feel unhappy? For example, when you were with Oona, After the girl got together, she neglected Master Mi Jiang and so on. Another example is, after getting together with Miss Oona, she neglected Master Mi Jiang and so on. Another example is..."
At this point, Shen Yu couldn't go on, because Mi Jiang was staring at him with a blushing face.
Seeing this, Shen Yu fled quickly. After all, he was no match for Mi Jiang in a single fight.
What's more, even if he could defeat this woman, Shen Yu would not dare to attack this woman who would most likely become his mistress in the future.
However, as soon as Shen Yu left, the atmosphere between Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang gradually became a little awkward.
To be fair, it's not that Zhao Hongrun doesn't know that Mi Jiang cares about him, he's just not sure whether Mi Jiang's concern is due to the evil thing, just like he is also very concerned about Mi Jiang's affairs.
As for liking it?
"Who would like such a vicious woman?"
Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang beside him and said to himself secretly.
"Are you thinking at this moment, who would like this venomous and sinister woman... right?" Mi Jiang narrowed her beautiful eyes, with a dangerous look in her eyes.
"I hate this connection..."
Zhao Hongrun was secretly resentful, but he showed a kind smile on his face and said with a smile: "You have a vicious tongue and a sinister heart, huh? You know yourself very well!"
"..." Mi Jiang narrowed her eyes and sneered.
At this time, as a cry of "Run" came from the distance, Oona came here on her mount and said with a look of joy: "Run, we caught those deer."
"Oh?" Zhao Hongrun raised his head and saw King Su's guards gathering together in the distance. He also smiled and said, "Well, thanks to Touna, it seems we have venison to eat today."
Under Zhao Hongrun's praise, Oona's pretty face turned red and she was very happy. She hugged Zhao Hongrun's arm affectionately and said with a bit of expectation in her eyes: "Run, do you really want to take me to Daliang? "
"Of course." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile while stroking Oona's hair.
After being affirmed again, Oona's face became even more joyful. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask: "But I don't know anything about Da Wei..."
"It doesn't matter, I will tell you the things you don't know slowly." Zhao Hongrun said dotingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Jiang interjected lightly: "It's okay, Oona, he will tell you slowly... For example, he still has a beloved woman in Daliang."
Zhao Hongrun's hand that was stroking Oona's hair suddenly stopped, and he turned his head and stared at Mi Jiang fiercely.
"I'm helping you." Mi Jiang looked at the confused Oona with a "don't know what to do" expression, and said maliciously: "Oona, I believe you and that girl Su will get along. The ground is very good.”
Although Oona is simple, she is not stupid. When she saw Zhao Hongrun's dark face, she could guess something about it, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, in fact, my father also has many women... My Run is so good, naturally
There will be other women who will love her." After that, she said to Zhao Hongrun: "Run, don't worry, Oona will definitely get along with that sister."
Hearing Oona's straightforward and frank assurance, Zhao Hongrun felt an inexplicable feeling of guilt.
At this time, Mi Jiang spoke again: "Actually, Oona, in addition to a sister named Su, you will also have a sister named Yangyan..."
She deliberately emphasized the word "sister".
"Hey, have you had enough?" Zhao Hongrun stared at Mi Jiang hatefully and said angrily: "Everyone knows that is just the little girl's wishful thinking, I have no intention of forcing her!"
Mi Jiang snorted softly and said as if talking to himself: "I hope that when I go back this time, everything will be fine in Prince Su's Mansion..."
Zhao Hongrun was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He said angrily without thinking carefully: "Who do you think the last incident was because of? Wasn't it you?"
"..." Mi Jiang was stunned for a moment, then turned away his slightly red face and stopped making any noise.
It's no wonder, after all, the reason why Miss Su angrily moved out of Prince Su's Mansion last time was because Zhao Hongrun's mother-in-law, Concubine Shen Shu, was more affectionate to Mi Jiang than his daughter-in-law-to-be, Miss Su, and made Miss Su feel unbalanced.
The trigger, of course, was that Zhao Hongrun called Mi Jiang's name by mistake after having sex with Miss Su.
Both of these incidents are inextricably related to Mi Jiang.
Embarrassing, very embarrassing.
Both Zhao Hongrun who made the mistake and Mi Jiang who heard those words felt endless embarrassment.
Especially Mi Jiang, when she learned from some channels that Zhao Hongrun actually called Miss Su by her name when he was doing that thing, she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to show her face for several days.
At this time, Oona looked at Zhao Hongrun, then at Mi Jiang, and said with a smile: "Sister Mi Jiang, Oona will also get along with you in harmony."
Zhao Hongrun: "..."
Mi Jiang: "..."
With a beautiful last hit, Mi Jiang opened her mouth and was speechless for a while.
Zhao Hongrun also looked at Oona in shock.
Seeing the innocent Oona pulling away the embarrassed Mi Jiang, Zhao Hongrun raised his hand to wipe away the sweat.
"That sinister woman, what happened to her is that she capsized in the gutter, right? It's really scary..."
At this moment, Zongwei Lu Mu hurried over on his mount, cupped his fists and reported, "Your Highness, I have just received the edict from His Majesty."
After saying that, he took out a handwritten edict from his arms and handed it to Zhao Hongrun respectfully.
Zhao Hongrun took the edict, glanced at it briefly, and frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, is this bad news?" Lu Muyi said worriedly.
It's no wonder, after all, it has been two months since this battle was fought. Logically speaking, as the coach, Zhao Hongrun should return to Daliang immediately to resume his duties. However, Zhao Hongrun delayed it with various excuses. This was enough for Yushitai to come forward.
Impeachment is a big deal.
"My father ordered me to return to Daliang before the end of the year..."
Slowly closing his hand, Zhao Hongrun took a long breath and said calmly.
"That's it?" Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, feeling relieved. After all, they had planned to return to China years ago.
"Huh, is that just that?"
Zhao Hongrun snorted softly after hearing this and said calmly: "Father knows that I will definitely return to Daliang before the New Year's Day to pay my respects and congratulate my mother and concubine on the first day of the year, but he sent this urging edict... This means
, someone filed a complaint against me in front of my father, and I still had to ask my father to compromise and send this urging edict..."
"Let Your Majesty compromise?" Lu Mu looked horrified.
"Yes, even my father has no choice but to compromise... This is what I am about to face!"
Looking at the vast grassland, Zhao Hongrun took a long breath and began to think deeply.
