Chapter 165 Son, you are inferior to Zhao Cheng in three things
"Dad, what do you mean by this?"
"Those bandits were obviously arranged by Zhao Cheng."
"How can I see it?"
"The bandits killed people and looted goods. They killed everyone who was traveling with you. Why did they keep the three of you? That's because Zhao Cheng has told me not to hurt my family, Wang Ren. This is an extraordinary period.
My Wang Ren family, Zhao Cheng is afraid that it will end badly."
Wang Ren returned to the chair and sat down, stretched out three thick fingers and said: "Son, you are not as good as Zhao Cheng in three ways."
"Your IQ is not as good as his."
"The masters around you are not as good as him."
"Your heart..." Wang Ren pondered for a moment, then said: "It's not as bad as him."
"How can you fight him with these three inferior qualities?"
Wang Yuluan sighed in frustration and said, "Mom also said that you should make the decision. You can only rely on dad to take revenge."
"Don't think about it for now."
"father……"
Wang Ren raised his hand, interrupted Wang Yuluan, and said: "I taught you brothers a lesson when I was young. What should you do when you are not as powerful as the enemy?"
Wang Yuluan thought for a moment and said, "Strengthen yourself."
Wang Ren nodded and said, "Your eldest brother just drifted away because he was given the title of General Zhaoyong by the imperial court and forgot this sentence. His fate has been decided, but you can't forget it."
Wang Yuluan clenched his fists and nodded heavily.
…
"Your Majesty, Chen Chong is here."
While the servant was applying wound medicine to Zhou Jinghuan's face, someone called outside.
Afraid of pulling on the injured muscle and causing too much pain, Zhou Jinghuan did not dare to speak loudly and whispered softly: "Let him in."
The door opened, and Chen Chong, who had short hair and a vertical cloth hanging behind his back, walked in and asked with concern: "My lord, are you okay?!"
"not dead."
"It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty!" Chen Chong clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate should never leave!"
"This is what I ordered you to do, and it has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Jinghuan adjusted his posture, looked at Chen Chong and said: "I have also thought about it. Good things and bad things depend on each other. It would be better if you were not around in this matter."
"Why is this?" Chen Chong didn't understand.
"If you are not here, the king will get beaten at most. If you are here, how can those people in the General's Mansion be your opponent as the successor of the Hunyuan Sword? The state banquet has not even started yet, but we have beaten the son of the protagonist of the state banquet. What else can we do?"
Negotiate terms with Emperor Jingguo?"
"But you are a prince, how can you be subjected to such humiliation?!"
"That's not important. Don't forget why your Majesty sent me here. As long as we can settle the matter of the second prince, my grievance is not called grievance!"
"Just this once!" Chen Chong gritted his teeth and said, "I will never let anyone hurt the prince again!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know you are loyal."
Zhou Jinghuan glanced upward, stared at the cloth strip behind Chen Chong, and asked: "Is there a sword wrapped in it?"
Chen Chong nodded.
"It is forbidden for envoys to bring iron weapons and crossbows when entering Changsui. You think it's enough to wrap them up. Don't treat the Changsui officers and soldiers as fools."
"Your Majesty, my sword is not an iron weapon."
"What's that?"
"Black copper."
Seeing Chen Chong's serious answer, Zhou Jinghuan said patiently: "Chen Chong, you may not quite understand what I mean... I mean, if you go out privately and are checked by the officers and soldiers, will they be able to distinguish your sword at the scene?
Is the composition of the sword an iron sword or a bronze sword?”
Chen Chong said: "I won't go out privately. I will protect the prince at every step. No one dares to check behind the prince!"
Zhou Jinghuan: "..."
"I told you about loneliness... Ouch!" Zhou Jinghuan patted the servant who was applying the ointment and shouted: "Be gentle!!"
…
Suiyue Building, private room on the second floor.
Cai Yiyi directly set up two tables in the box, one for the soldiers, and Zhao Cheng brought Zhao Wu and Xia Qiqiu Shu to the other table for him.
Zhao Cheng saw that this guy was very good at things. Not only did he order all Changsui dishes, he also ordered a small portion of Yanchuan dishes. Before serving it, he had a chat with the Fu Bings, making all ten Fu Bings agree.
He felt good and felt relaxed overall.
"We have arrived at our destination. You can eat freely and drink whatever you want!" Zhao Cheng was afraid that the soldiers would be in a dilemma, so Zhao Cheng simply asked them to relax.
Now that he is at the feet of the Emperor, even if someone targets him, it will not be a large-scale siege.
But if it is an assassination, Zhao Wu is the one who is exposed, and the Zhou Chuan brothers and sisters are covertly involved. They are enough, and the government soldiers are of no use.
The main reason is that Zhao Cheng thinks that Cai Yiyi has no malicious intentions.
Zhao Cheng not only believed in his own feelings, but also observed Cai Yiyi's eyes and details along the way. There was no doubt that he was someone he wanted to make friends with.
Of course, the friendship will definitely not be for no reason. As for what he wants, he probably has to talk about it while drinking.
"Hahaha, listen, the young prime minister is so kind to you. He has already spoken, so just drink it! I tell you, we Yunjing people don't dare to drink too much of Changsui's wine. It will definitely be better than yours.
Yanchuan’s wine is stronger!”
Cai greeted the soldiers all the way and then sat down next to Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng asked: "Brother Cai is from Yunjing?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Yunjing is the southern border, quite far from Changsui."
"When doing business, you will inevitably have to leave your hometown. As long as you can make money!"
"It seems that Brother Cai's business is doing well."
“I’ll never die of hunger hahaha!”
Cai Yiyi stood up and poured wine for Zhao Cheng and Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu pressed the cup with his finger, shook his head and said, "I don't drink."
Cai Yiyi nodded and did not try to dissuade him. Instead, he looked at Xia Qi Qiu Shu and asked, "Two girls..."
He turned to look at Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng said: "Changsui liquor is a special feature. If you want to try it, you can drink less."
"Then please drink this time, sister!" Qiu Shu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, saying, "I'll drink it next time!"
"Drink!" Xia Qi smiled at Cai Yiyi and said, "Then have some!"
"Okay!" Cai Yiyi quickly served Zhao Cheng and Xia Qiman.
From before pouring the wine, Zhao Cheng had been paying attention to Cai Yiyi's eyes and observed the way he looked at Xia Qiqiu Shu.
Xia Qiqiu Shu was sixteen years old, a good age for cardamom. She was beautiful and cute, and she was a pair of twins. Along the way, whenever the sisters got off the carriage, they would always receive countless looks.
Most of these gazes are full of negative emotions such as greed, possessiveness, evil, etc.
But Cai Yiyi surprised Zhao Cheng.
He clearly looked like a playboy, but his eyes when looking at Xia Qi Qiu Shu were very clear.
Especially the way Qiu Shu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips just now, even Zhao Cheng felt his heart beat faster when he saw it, but Cai Yiyi remained indifferent?
This guy...can't be a gay, right?!
But no matter what the facts were, Zhao Cheng was quite satisfied with Cai Yiyi's performance. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Then for this first glass of wine, I would like to thank Brother Cai for his hospitality!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Cai walked all the way around the Fu Bing table in front of Zhao Cheng holding a wine glass and said: "Meeting is fate, I respect all brothers!"
After three rounds of drinking, I drank heavily in one meal.
Zhao Cheng and Cai had already started to put their arms around each other.
"Brother Cai, what business are you doing in Changsui?"
The two of them were just tipsy, and both were drunk. Cai looked around, put his mouth in Zhao Cheng's ear and said, "To be honest, my business is not easy to see."
At this time, Zhao Cheng put his elbows on the table and supported his chin with his hands. Cai, blushing from drinking all the way, looked like he was whispering in his ear, looking quite intimate.
Xia Qi and Qiu Shu looked across from each other, always feeling something strange.
"Oh... I understand!" Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Then just pretend I didn't ask."
"It's not that it's hard to see the light, but it's not that you can't speak out."
Cai lowered his voice all the way and said: "I'm selling "Ying Ying Ying"..."
ah?
Zhao Cheng was shocked, his chin slipped from his palm, and his body lost weight and fell towards Cai Yiyi's arms.
Cai Yiyi hugged Zhao Cheng and said with a blushing face: "Xiao Xiangye, don't vomit here, I will help you to the room..."
"Oh!!!!" Xia Qi and Qiu Shu couldn't bear it anymore and turned away at the same time.
