"My benefactor, please be more careful along the way."
Zhao Qi thought silently in his heart.
Lin Yiqiu was a blessing to him, and now his benefactor has gone to the front line.
Although he was a small Hanlin editor and could not do other important things, he was just as Lin Yiqiu had warned him before.
"Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no way to reach far."
Zhao Qi has firmly remembered this sentence!
Then he picked up the brush again and started annotating on the book!
Two days later, Lin Yiqiu, Cang Hong and others were getting closer and closer to Tingzhou, and they could arrive in less than half a day.
And in the prosperous Tingzhou City, among the Wangfu Courtyard.
Youwang Xia Yuantong held the tea cup with one hand and tapped the table back and forth with the other hand, as if thinking about something.
Not long after, a servant came in in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, people are here."
"Who is here? Someone from the imperial court?"
Although King You is in his thirties, he still looks very young, almost like a twenty-year-old young man.
It's just that his eyes are heavily frowned, and there is a deep aura lingering in them, making him look like a very deep-seated person.
Coupled with the fact that his skin is pale and bloodless, this gloomy aura is even more vivid!
"Your Majesty, you are not from the imperial court, but from Xingyang City."
The old servant quickly bent down to answer.
King You closed his eyes and thought carefully for a long time. He then asked: "Isn't that guy Zheng Xianba coming so quickly? I don't believe that he, a general, dares to leave his military camp?"
"My lord, what do you mean?"
The old servant looked puzzled.
Then he suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth: "He is a guy who is ruthless in his actions and treats the people below him with force!"
"If he dares to leave the military camp without permission, won't he be afraid that the people below will suddenly rebel against him? It would be too funny if the person who rebelled was rebelled against by his own subordinates!"
After hearing this, the old servant held up his hands again and said: "My lord, you are absolutely right, so this time it is not him who came in person, but one of his lieutenants named Zhou Pei!"
Hearing this, King You once again showed a thoughtful expression.
Then he said calmly: "Let him come in. By the way, how many people did he bring here?"
"Report to the prince, he is the only one with more than a dozen guards."
"Haha, a dozen guards? Let the guards wait outside the palace, and Zhou Pei can come in alone!"
King You's tone was calm and authoritative, and no one could refute it. The old servant nodded immediately.
Not long after, the old servant walked through the palace courtyard and walked all the way outside the mansion!
Zhou Pei seemed to be a little impatient waiting outside. When he saw the old servant coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Majesty, would you like to see your subordinates?"
"Vice General Zhou, please come with me."
The old servant raised his hand in invitation.
Zhou Pei looked happy and raised his feet to lead the guards in.
However, at this time, he was stopped by his wife.
"I'm sorry, Vice General Zhou, the prince said that you can only go in alone, and everyone else has to wait outside."
"Waiting?"
Zhou Pei looked confused and didn't quite understand what King You's purpose was.
The group of guards under him also showed dissatisfied expressions at this time.
If there is any danger if we go in alone, who can say for sure?
But after Zhou Pei thought for a while, he smiled and said: "That's right. Is there any reason to bring guards to see the prince?"
"Just wait outside. I'll call you if anything happens."
He turned around and told the others.
The guards quickly took orders.
"yes!"
Soon, Zhou Pei entered the front hall of the palace under the leadership of the old servant.
King You waited quietly in the front hall. He didn't make any move after seeing the person, and just continued to drink his tea.
Seeing this, Zhou Pei immediately knelt down on one knee.
"My subordinate, General Zheng Xianba of Xingyang City, is the deputy general Zhou Ping! See you, Your Majesty!"
He has never met King You, but has only heard from others that King You is a middle-aged man in his thirties.
His breath was very deep, and his expression made it impossible to guess anything.
But after seeing him for real, Zhou Pei found that the other person seemed much younger than he looked.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a twenty-year-old young man.
After King You heard this, he put down his tea cup.
"It turns out to be Vice General Zhou. Your Majesty has come to greet you at a distant place. Someone is here to serve you tea!"
King You waved his hand, and soon several maids came up carrying tea cups.
Zhou Pei's face was polite for a while, and then he sat on a chair not far away, and the maid next to him poured him tea.
"Vice General Zhou, I don't know why you came all the way to my palace."
King You pretended to be puzzled.
Unless you take a sip of tea and say with a smile: "Your Majesty, I won't beat around the bush with you."
"As a meritorious minister of Da Qian, you are now trapped in Tingzhou. I dare to ask, my lord, are you willing?"
Raising his head slightly, the eyes around him looked at the other person, as if they wanted to see something on his face.
However, King You's face remained calm, and he responded calmly.
"What's the point of not being willing to give in? That was all my father's past. I'm just an idle prince now. What can I do if I'm not willing to give in?"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong! Please forgive me for being so outspoken! In my opinion, Da Qian is not sorry for Your Majesty at all! Today's Holy Master is even more sorry for you!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he would immediately provoke a confrontation between the imperial court and Prince You.
King You seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to say, and continued to smile: "There is nothing to be sorry for. This is the saying that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy since ancient times."
"Those things are already very far away from me, and I don't want to think about them anymore. I just want to live a happy and free life, that's all!"
"My lord, if you think this way, it is not the late king's original intention!"
Zhou Pei's voice suddenly became deeper.
"The late king once suffered a lot of grievances in front of the late emperor, but the late emperor favored one over the other. He was very kind to King Pingnan, but not very kind to the late king!"
"If this were not the case, why would the soldiers under Wang Ye be dissatisfied and dissatisfied with the court?"
"You mean Youjun?"
King You's brows flickered slightly.
After a moment, he continued: "The Youjun has nothing to do with me now, nor does it have anything to do with my father. It is said that they have formed a new force called Wanjin Tower?"
"Haha, why did Vice General Zhou suddenly talk about this?"
After listening, the surrounding voices became even deeper.
"Your Majesty, Youjun has indeed formed a new force, and its name is indeed Wanjin Tower."
"But in the eyes of Youjun, you will always be their prince! As long as you raise your arms and give a shout! They will follow you loyally!"
"Your Majesty! I'm just waiting for your order now!" This chapter has been completed!
