"His Royal Highness King Zhao, today in the royal study, others sneered at my request. Only His Highness King Zhao listened patiently and even agreed to my almost unreasonable request! With you here, Dashang will surely dominate the world."
With great respect, after saying these words, Su Changqing took the covenant and left Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Zhao Rui was in a daze. He saw an unprecedented determination from Su Changqing.
But he just couldn't figure out what kind of hatred made a young man in his twenties so determined to destroy Nanchu?
After rubbing his forehead, Zhao Rui turned around and sat down without thinking too much.
"Your Highness!" Ziyun came into the study with a cup of tea: "There is news from the border, sent by the Western Region Protectorate, saying that the Parthian Kingdom is invading the Western Region!"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but frown and immediately walked to the map next to him.
In the westernmost part of the Great Shang territory, there were indeed several ancient kingdoms next to each other.
Looking at the files left by the ancestors of the Great Shang, it seems that these countries have always wanted to devour the Western Regions.
When he first conquered the Western Regions, Zhao Rui wanted to visit these countries and test their depth.
But at that time, the northern grasslands were in a hurry, so he could only hurriedly mobilize 30,000 cavalry from the Western Regions to return.
Moreover, for the past year, he has been mobilizing troops and horses from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, which to a certain extent has left the Western Regions empty.
Don't take advantage of such a good opportunity when you need it!
The Central Plains area is now considered peaceful. If we really form an alliance with the Chu State in accordance with Su Changqing's covenant, then there will be no war in the Central Plains area in the past year or even a few months.
Besides, Nangong Yi is still there, and relying on his diplomatic policy, the merchants can be calmed down for a while.
Take this opportunity to go to the Western Regions to take a look at the specific conditions there and observe the development of the Western Regions in the past year.
"Ziyun, how much do you know about the Western Regions?"
The sudden question immediately stopped Ziyun.
She looked at the map next to her in confusion.
"My father once said that outside the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Region, there is an ancient Parthian kingdom. A little further west there seems to be Persia, and there is also a Garuda kingdom! Further south it seems to be Tianzhu!"
Zhao Rui was a little surprised. These places were not shown on the map.
I didn’t expect this little girl to know quite a lot.
"After His Majesty's birthday banquet, I may go to the Western Regions. I didn't plan to take you there, but I didn't expect you to know the Western Regions so well, so I will forcefully take you with me! But the environment there is much worse than that of the Central Plains.
, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you.”
Ziyun suddenly became anxious.
"I can do it! I have been practicing martial arts during this period. When I returned to Luo City, I went to General Li Fei and Princess Xue for advice. They taught me some moves suitable for women."
Zhao Rui laughed twice: "If you really want to learn, you can come to me directly in the future. Why bother? Do you think the two of them are as good as me in kung fu?"
Ziyun suddenly blushed and didn't know what to say.
