"Do you think that I, Zhao Zhongsheng, am born to be submissive? Just tell me if you are willing to cooperate with me."
Wei Wu smiled slightly and said, "You have to understand that it is you who need me now, not me who needs you. Our country, Wei, is so powerful that we don't need help from a small vassal state like yours."
Zhao Zhongsheng pondered his thoughts. Since he came to him, it meant he had something to ask for, so why not wait for him to speak first.
"General Wei Wu, I have been anxious these days. Why don't we sit down and talk calmly? Your Wei State is indispensable to our vassal state, and without my vassal state, your Wei state will not be much better.
Bar."
Wei Wu didn't listen to him and just sat on the soft couch minding his own business.
"Isn't this why I came to you today?"
Zhao Zhongru saw that Wei Wu suddenly became serious and raised his eyebrows.
"So this is about the seventeenth princess?"
Wei Wu nodded, "That's exactly what happened."
"I once heard that the two of you have already made a private decision for life. It's just that the emperor and the prince are willing to sacrifice your happiness and mine for the benefit of Zhao."
Zhao Zhongsheng raised his head and looked at Wei Wu, as if he didn't come here to talk to him, but rather to seek revenge against him.
Wei Wu was filled with lingering worries. If he hadn't wanted Yurong to stay by his side in the future, he would never have agreed to negotiate terms with someone like Zhao Zhongsheng.
"I came to you today. I really need your help with something, but I promise you that I will form an alliance with you, but I have one request."
Zhao Zhongsheng raised his head and thought for a while and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it and I will listen."
"Don't touch Princess Seventeen."
Zhao Zhongsheng never expected that he would make this request. He was a little curious as to what was so special about these seventeen princesses that Wei Wu was so concerned that he would trade a woman to become his ally.
"General Wei Wu, don't you think it's a bit of a loss? After all, beauty is better from Jiangshan. As long as you have the supreme power in the world, there are so many beauties."
Wei Wu frowned and said, "Are you testing my bottom line? Why do you need to pry into my general's mind?"
Zhao Zhongsheng nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course it's not necessary, but I just feel that General Wei is a bit too much at a disadvantage. You can make higher demands, and I will naturally satisfy you."
Wei Wu said helplessly, "For me, she is the most important."
Zhao Zhongsheng cupped his hands and said, "Of course, the two of you have already made a private decision for life. I heard that we are already close to each other, so naturally I will not touch the person that my brother loves."
Wei Wu suddenly raised his head and stared at him, his eyes like a poisonous tongue that made people shudder.
"Nothing has happened between the two of us. You can keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, if you tarnish the innocent name of the Seventeenth Princess, I won't let you go."
Zhao Zhongsheng smiled humbly and said, "Of course it is. Brother Wei, please take more care of our affairs. As for the seventeenth princess, I will naturally let her live a noble life, and then give it to you completely."
Wei Wu didn't know whether he should inform Zhao Jin in advance about this matter, but he was afraid that if he told the matter like this, Zhao Jin would ruin his own affairs.
He came to the Royal Garden at a specially calculated time today and saw Yurong picking up flower petals there.
Wei Wu didn't bother her, and watched quietly as he picked up the petals and put them into the basket, looking pitiful for a moment.
So Wei Wu couldn't restrain himself and walked towards Yu Rong step by step.
Yurong looked at him as if he had come by himself, and immediately wanted to turn around and go back to the palace.
Wei Wu had the foresight to keep her, "Yurong, don't you want to see me?"
Yu Rong lowered her head and said coldly, "I don't know what you are talking about. We have never met before, so why don't we want to see you."
Wei Wu groaned in extreme pain, "I am
Those who are forced to do so are helpless."
Yu Rong put down the basket in her hand, looked up at him and said, "I know you may have some affection for me, but you also have to think about the whole country of Wei, so I don't blame you."
Wei Wu took her arm and turned his beautiful face around. For the first time, he was so blatant and looked at his beautiful face carefully.
Yurong felt a little uncomfortable with his direct gaze, so she wanted to break free from his grasp, but the power gap between the two of them was too great, and she had no strength to resist.
"Yurong, listen to me. I have thought of an excellent way now. I have gone to find Zhao Zhongsheng. He has promised me that he will not touch you. Please wait patiently for me for a while. I will definitely bring the eight sedans to you."
You carry him into the Wei Mansion."
After hearing these words, Yurong was happy and worried at the same time.
"What solution have you come up with? Is there anything you can't tell me?"
Wei Wu suppressed those annoying emotions and took out the holy object from his pocket.
The carvings are naturally not as lifelike as those of a skilled carver, but they are still lifelike.
Yurong still felt touched when she saw her name engraved on the bottom of the sacred object.
Looking at Wei Wu's hands again, he saw that they were full of holes made by iron awls.
Yurong quickly took out her handkerchief and said with heartache, "Look, why are you trying to be brave if you don't know how to carve? This sacred object is not so easy to carve."
Just as Yu Rong was bandaging him, Wei Wu took her hand.
"I am willing to do anything for you. I am here today to give you the sacred object. According to the etiquette of your Zhao country, the sacred object is the token of love between the two of us. If I have fulfilled all the etiquette, can you
Give me a promise today too."
Yurong is still a bit in a dilemma.
"But, there is a moral barrier between us. If this happens, it will bring shame to both of our families.
"
Wei Wu persuaded her, "The two of us were really in love, but they insisted on blocking us in the middle. Now I just used a small trick. What do they have to say."
Yurong looked panicked and said incoherently, "But, but~"
Wei Wu lowered his voice and said, "Yurong, don't worry so much anymore. No matter what, I am a general who conquers the world. I have done so much for Wei, but they will turn a blind eye."
Seriously, now it just depends on your intentions, whether you are willing to give me a promise."
After listening to his words, Yurong finally made up her mind.
"I do."
The petals fluttered down and landed on their clothes.
