"Why do you blame me? You grew up with me, and you are the most considerate person around me no matter what. Why should I blame you for this kind of thing? In an ordinary family, it means you and I are just serving one husband."
Li Fei couldn't help but swallow her saliva, Murong Bing's words of tiger and wolf were really one after another.
In a daze, the two people's eyes suddenly focused on Zhao Weirui, and their expressions changed at the same time.
"Wei Rui!" Murong Bing asked tentatively: "Do you know what the two of us were talking about just now?"
Zhao Weirui shook his head honestly.
"I don't know! Well, Your Majesty, why hasn't the food been served yet?"
Murong Bing was relieved and shouted directly outside.
Not long after, plates of delicious food were served.
A small border town in Southern Chu, Lincheng!
As soon as Zhao Rui arrived, the soldiers guarding the city recognized him.
Many of the soldiers guarding here followed Zhao Rui from the grassland.
In order to repay Zhao Rui's kindness, they came here voluntarily to guard the border.
"Your Highness, I really didn't expect you to come to the border to see us!"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but cough twice. He came here because of something urgent, but he had already talked about this and he had to continue.
It can be regarded as giving these soldiers some spiritual comfort.
"I have just returned from the Far North. My brothers are working very hard guarding the border here, so I made a special trip to visit you and take care of some things!"
"I just came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. Please forgive me, officers and men."
These soldiers don't care about rewards. As long as Zhao Rui still cares about them, they will go through fire and water for the great merchants, no matter what.
"It is a great honor for us that His Highness comes to visit us. Moreover, our military salary is 10% higher than that of other soldiers. This is already a great reward for us."
Zhao Rui didn't say much, nor did he rush south. Instead, he caroused here all night with the soldiers in the city and didn't set off until noon the next day.
Southern Xinjiang is full of swamps and poisonous forests, making it difficult to walk. Fortunately, officials announced by Dashang have built straight roads and Chi roads here. At the same time, they have cut mountains and rivers, creating a large number of waterways and mountain roads.
Zhao Rui and Ziyun took the boat all the way and arrived at the original capital of Qingzhao Kingdom smoothly.
This city is not very tall, but it is built on the mountain. The city defense is quite strong, and every stone is made of marble brought from the mountain.
When he arrived at the city wall, Zhao Rui couldn't help but sigh. If he was allowed to lead his troops to attack, he might not be able to defeat it for a while. He didn't know what method Zhaoli used to conquer this city.
Some officials from Dashang have already arrived here and have taken over part of the city defense, so the city is relatively stable.
Just when Zhao Rui was about to go to the city lord's palace, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from not far away, and two tall and thick men collided with each other for some reason.
They are all tall and tall, and judging from the clothes they wear, they must be from local ethnic minorities.
"Why do you want to destroy the idol that I worked so hard to make? Do you know that it is the belief of our Tujia people?"
"What bullshit belief? The real great god should be Empress Nuwa!"
...
The quarrel between the two people soon attracted the attention of local people, who also joined in the curse inexplicably.
Just when Zhao Rui was about to step forward to stop him, the two strong men had already taken out their weapons and fought against each other.
They were very strong and had some skill in their hands. When they moved against each other, the air around them made a buzzing sound.
Even the crowd of onlookers quickly moved away for fear of being affected.
