Zhao Yao rushed into Kou Qing's arms and gave Kou Qing a big hug.
Kou Qing was stunned for a moment. After Zhao Yao came out of his arms, he looked at Zhao Yao doubtfully.
Zhao Yao has always been a cheerful, heartless little guy, always with a smile on his face.
But after being away for more than five days, the cheerful and heartless Zhao Yao disappeared, replaced by a serious-looking Zhao Yao.
It is a very strange thing for a young man not to see vigorous vitality on his face.
Kou Qing wanted to ask, but Zhao Yao just shook his head and gave Kou Qing an ugly smile.
When Kou Qing saw this, he immediately shut his mouth.
Zhao Yao obviously knew what Kou Qing wanted to ask, but he obviously didn't want to say it, and it was hard for Kou Qing to pursue the question.
Kou Qing took Zhao Yao into the carriage.
Liu Heng, who had been sitting in the carriage, saw Zhao Yao and joked with a smile, "Little guy, are you shocked?"
Zhao Yaogan smiled and said: "It's okay..."
Through these words, Kou Qing probably guessed that Zhao Yao might have experienced some bad things in the Taoist Palace, so he became like this.
It's just that Zhao Yao didn't want to say it, and Kou Qing had no way to ask. He could only guess blindly, or wait until Zhao Yao wanted to say it.
Kou Qing couldn't help but look at Chen Datou who was sitting on the shaft of the car.
Perhaps Chen Datou insisted on letting him leave that day because he didn't want him to see what Zhao Yao went through later.
After all, Chen Datou, an experienced killer who was honed on the battlefield, probably wouldn't care about the life and death of these people in the Dao King's fiefdom.
In the name of saving the people in Dao Wang's fiefdom, he urged Kou Qing to leave Dao Wang's palace. I'm afraid it was because of this.
The next few days.
Kou Qing and Zhao Yao accompanied Liu Heng on the carriage and rushed all the way to the Liu family's administrative area.
Along the way, Zhao Yao was taciturn and looked very worried.
Liu Heng and Kou Qing both pretended not to see it.
From time to time, Liu Heng told Kou Qing and Zhao Yao some interesting stories from the past.
Most of them are embarrassing things caused by their ancestors and fathers.
After all, since they were young, their ears have almost become calloused by the glorious deeds of their ancestors and fathers, but almost no one has mentioned the embarrassing things of their ancestors and fathers in their ears.
Their ancestors are now super bosses hiding behind the scenes; their fathers are now super bosses sitting in front of the stage.
Except for Liu Heng, probably no one dared to tell them the embarrassing stories of their ancestors and fathers.
Kou Qing and Zhao Yao listened to the embarrassing stories of their ancestors and fathers, and Liu Heng became addicted to it. When it came time to rule the land for their own family, they still looked unfinished.
The Liu family's territory is the same as the Kou family's territory in every aspect.
The only difference is that there is no huge wharf on Liujiazhi land, only a huge horse-drawn carriage market.
In other respects, it is almost the same as Kou's territory. Even the legal provisions in the fiefdom are all copied from those in Kou's territory.
Kou Qing asked Liu Heng very puzzledly why the Liu family's fiefdom did not develop its own characteristics.
Liu Heng's answer is simple.
There are not many smart people in the Liu family now. It is not enough for the Liu family to enfeoff the country of Yang, let alone the territory outside.
Since there are not enough smart people, we can only use stupid methods and directly apply Kou's things.
Kou Qing didn't know what he was thinking, but he unexpectedly said to Liu Heng, 'If the Liu family does this, it will be easy for the Kou family to digest the Liu family's fiefdom in the future.'
After Kou Qing finished speaking, he regretted it.
He thought Liu Heng would be furious, but he didn't expect that Liu Heng not only didn't get angry, but instead said to Kou Qing with a smile, "After you take over the power of Qing Kingdom, if you want to annex Yang Kingdom and the Liu family's territory, just do it"
Open your mouth and I will ask Bossu to give way to you.'
Liu Heng's words shocked Kou Qing.
He had no idea that the Liu family's obsession with the fiefdom was the lowest among all the families.
I have always been in a dispensable mood.
He didn't even know that Liu Heng, the founder of the Liu family's business, had the intention of handing it over to his grandfather Kou Ji when he first got the fiefdom.
Of course, there are other factors.
That is the sunrise covenant signed by each family.
Before each family completely carves up the world, it is impossible for internal fighting or annexation to occur.
The land outside is so big.
Each family spent fifteen years, but not even a single Northern Wasteland was completely digested.
If you want to carve up the world and digest it, I'm afraid it will take hundreds of years.
Who cares about what happens hundreds of years from now?
No matter how fierce the fight is, they are still fighting for meat in their own pot.
Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Anyway, whether it is east wind or west wind, it is the Han style.
Liu Heng took Kou Qing and Zhao Yao to his own territory, and immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet for Feng Sheng. After the banquet, he specially asked his grandson Liu Mou to take Kou Qing and Zhao Yao around Liu's territory.
Made a circle.
Liu Heng didn't know what he was thinking, so he carved a huge head for himself on a mountain on his own land.
Liu Hunter told Liu Mou that he must take Kou Qing and Zhao Yao to pay homage to his majestic and majestic portrait.
Standing under Liu Heng's huge head, looking up at the head that took nearly 30,000 savage lives to carve, Zhao Yao said softly.
"Brother, it's time for me to go back."
Kou Qing was flicking off the grass velvet stained on his sleeves when he heard Zhao Yao's words and was stunned.
"Why? Although we have been out for a long time, in fact we spent most of our time on the boat. When you were on the boat, you told me in high spirits that you were going to travel around the northern wilderness and then go to the south.
He was looking for the emperor's ancestor and wanted to fight wildlings with him.
Now that you haven't traveled all over the Northern Wasteland, you want to go back?"
Zhao Yao heard Kou Qing's question and chuckled: "I just suddenly understood that there are many kinds of burdens on my father's shoulders, and I also understood what the important responsibilities that I will shoulder in the future mean."
Kou Qing pondered: "Is it related to the experience in the Taoist Palace?"
Zhao Yao grinned with an ugly smile and said: "I used to feel that the throne was a constraint. Sometimes I also felt that if I sit on the throne, I can do whatever I want.
It wasn't until I experienced everything in Dao Wang Palace that I realized that the throne is actually a responsibility.
A responsibility that carries the lives of all.
As the eldest prince and the prince most likely to inherit the throne, every move I make will involve human lives.
Maybe one of my inadvertent actions caused the death of countless people.
Maybe my words can save the lives of countless people."
After hearing what Zhao Yao said, Kou Qing fell silent.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly at Zhao Yao and said: "I thought that a cheerful person like you, after feeling his own importance and knowing the true power of imperial power, would regard imperial power as a qualification that allows him to do whatever he wants.
.
I didn’t expect that what you saw was actually responsibility.”
Zhao Yao also laughed bitterly, "I don't know why. Anyway, after everything I experienced in the Dao Palace, when I look at the throne, what I see is responsibility, a responsibility that is enough to grind me into a pulp."
Kou Qing took a long breath and asked: "So after I left, what exactly did you experience in the Dao Palace?"
