Faced with Zixing's care, Guo Yi felt extremely grateful.
If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Guo Yi wished he could hold Zixing in his arms and give him favor all the time. Being able to live with a mortal like him in this low plane for so many years, he could only say that Zixing truly loved him.
"No problem." Guo Yi smiled and said, "My son, of course I have to come forward and talk to King Zhao."
"How far is the road to the Kingdom of Zhao?" Zixing looked slightly worried and said, "How about I go with you?"
"No need." Guo Yi shook his head and said, "If you go, who will take care of Xingyue?"
Zi Xing was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think it made sense.
Little Xingyue is still young, only fifteen years old.
She still cannot live an independent life at all, so she must be by her side.
When little Xingyue grows up for a few more years, I'm afraid she will be mistaken for Zi Xing's granddaughter.
Such a beautiful and well-behaved girl has been targeted by many princes and nobles in the capital. After Xiao Xingyue's coming-of-age ceremony when she turns sixteen, these princes and nobles will immediately send people to propose marriage.
After all, she is the daughter of the regent, so only wealthy families and the princes and nobles in the royal city are eligible to propose marriage.
The fat boy next door turned sixteen and has become a handsome young man.
Little Xingyue is still very close to him.
Many people say that the little fat guy is not worthy of Xingyue. After all, she is the daughter of the regent. To put it harshly, you, the little fat guy, are just an ordinary citizen, but she is a noble princess.
It's a pity that Xingyue never cared about the birth of the little fat boy, nor the identity and background of the little fat boy. The two of them grew up, went to the same school, and lived just across the road. They were completely childhood sweethearts.

Zhao Guo.
A great victory finally made the people of Zhao feel proud.
The most important thing is that Zhao Guo, who is immersed in the pessimism of defeat, really needs a big victory to boost morale. Otherwise, if it continues like this, morale will be low, and even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it will be impossible to persist.
Above the Zhao Kingdom's court.
The ministers congratulated each other, this was indeed a belated victory.
"Your Majesty, this is a great joy."
"After more than ten years, we finally have a victory. We are finally here."
…
Everyone was so excited that they were almost speechless.
You must know that the powerful Thailand was beaten by the weak Wu State and was unable to fight back. This was the saddest thing for them. Moreover, this depressed mood has lasted for ten years. This is the most painful thing for them.
And something I dare not face.
Now, with victory coming, they can finally hold their heads high and conduct themselves as human beings.
"Everyone." King Zhao also had a red face.
Annihilated 200,000 Wu soldiers and captured their commander Guo Nian and more than ten lieutenants.
This is a great happy event.
Although 350,000 troops were lost that year, it was nothing compared to this. Even the regent of Wu State was captured. I am afraid that by now Wu State was so panicked that they were too frightened to dare.
Did you make a sound?
King Zhao continued: "This time the Zhao State has won a great victory and captured the Wu State Regent Guo Nian. I don't know how to deal with it. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
"Your Majesty, this person is the natural enemy of our Zhao Kingdom. We must kill him quickly!"
"Yes, this man has killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Zhao Kingdom. If we don't kill this man, Zhao Kingdom will definitely perish at the hands of this man!"
…
In the main hall, everyone shouted.
There is almost no second voice, because whoever dares to make a second voice at this time will definitely cause problems.
Unexpectedly, the right prime minister stood up at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
"You have something to say?" King Zhao asked.
Yougong is the surname of You Prime Minister. Generally, the surname used to address people is closer to each other, so the relationship between the two is unusual.
Prime Minister Right nodded: "I object to killing Guo Nian."
"Why?" King Zhao looked at Prime Minister Right with interest.
"Killing him will do us no good." Prime Minister Right sighed and said, "Killing him will not bring the dead soldiers back to life. Killing him will only aggravate the resentment of the Wu people. So, kill him.
He might as well keep him."
"Why keep him?" King Zhao smiled.
"Because..." Prime Minister You smiled slightly, and then said: "When they clearly marked the price for us, why couldn't we treat them the same way they did? It would be a pity to kill Guo Nian."
Everyone was stunned.
At this time, Prime Minister You smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you think Guo Nian... looks like the five hundred thousand gold sent away from our Chu State's treasury ten years ago?"
Hiss!
Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air.
King Zhao suddenly laughed: "It looks like... it's so similar."
"So, since Guo Nian is worth five hundred thousand gold, why don't we let Wu Guo use the money to redeem him?" Prime Minister Right sneered and said: "In addition, there are more than ten lieutenants, one of whom is one hundred thousand gold. Your Majesty
Do you think it’s too much?”
"No, no, no, it's not too much at all." King Zhao laughed.
If you can get more than one million gold from Wu State, why not do it?
I'm afraid more than one million gold can empty out the treasury of Wu State, right? If it can empty out the treasury of Wu State, what if Guo Nian is put back? Without money and resources, I dare to ask how he can fight against Zhao State
?
King Zhao sneered: "Young Master, what should we do next?"
"Your Majesty, they are not in a hurry, so why should we be in a hurry?" the right prime minister said with a smile.
"That makes sense." King Zhao nodded.
"But it's been so long, and I haven't seen any movement or sound from the other party." Prime Minister Zuo said with a wry smile.
The words just fell.
A soldier immediately entered the hall: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Wu wants to meet with Your Majesty."
"Haha, I didn't expect that as soon as I started talking about it, he actually came." King Zhao laughed loudly and said: "We were discussing at a critical moment, and he happened to be here. Let him come in and let him listen.
Let’s make our proposal.”
"Yes!" The soldier nodded.
Then, a man immediately stepped into the hall. A smile appeared on everyone's face.
His smile was like seeing a gold mine.
Not long after, a white-haired man came in from outside,
The old man is dressed in a white robe, with his long white hair tied up casually. When he walks, he carries a wisp of breeze, giving him a sense of immortality and chivalry. You can feel a sense of full energy from this old man's body.
This kind of fullness of energy and spirit may not even be achieved by ordinary people.
"Who is coming?" King Zhao asked.
Hundreds of people in the audience looked at Guo Yi.
Guo Yi walked under the court and said with a smile, "I am the envoy of the State of Wu."
