Chapter 53 His Majesty’s Confession
In the woods beside the official road, wild pigeons looking for food flew away in all Zhao Zheng's signal, although Su Yu was reluctant, he retreated and disappeared with the doctor's command.
Seeing that the atmosphere was extremely awkward, Zong Jun also carefully moved his butt off the car and got into the woods.
Mosquitoes swarmed up in Lin Zhongqiu, biting him so much that he complained endlessly.
Jiang He looked at Wei Ji and said, "Go back."
Naturally, I want to go back, but I can’t go back in vain.
When Jiang He sent a message saying that Zhao Zheng had arrived, Wei Ji was discussing matters with his hurriedly led his horse out of the city and found Jiang He's carriage on the official road leading to the northwest.
Wei Ji believed that Jiang He would not leave Wei.
What he was worried about was Zhao Zheng's intentions.
Now that we have met, it is best to ask.
Warn him, intimidate him, let him know the dangers of entering Wei, and return home early.
"Wait a moment," Wei Ji said cheerfully, with a broad smile on his handsome and flawless face, "I have a few words that I would like to ask His Majesty Yong Guo."
Zhao Zheng's eyes were only on Jiang He, trying to judge the relationship between her and Wei Ji from her subtle Zhengcai turned his head when he heard Wei Ji mentioning him.
"Did your Majesty come to Wei to take advantage of the chaos and invade?" Wei Ji asked.
Zhao Zheng shook his head with a somewhat contemptuous expression: "To conquer Luoyang, you don't need to conquer Luoyang alone."
"Have you come to buy food after knowing about it?"
There was a hint of coolness in Zhao Zheng's eyes.
Sure enough, Jiang He did not hide the food and grass matter from Wei Ji. It seemed that she did not want to destroy Wei.
She also said that she wanted to unite the seven kingdoms. If Wei was to be destroyed now, she would be reluctant to part with it.
This woman was telling the truth, but Wei Ji actually mocked the king of a country for taking risks to buy grain.
“Do I need to carry it on my shoulders and hands alone when buying food?”
Zhao Zheng showed an unruly expression, stretched out his arms and gestured upward, as if Wei Ji's question was stupid.
Wei Ji shook his head mockingly, and then said: "I am a narrow-minded young master, but what would your majesty think if he knew that I conspired with Princess An to stir up trouble in the Wei court?"
Zhao Zhengshu smiled coldly and said nothing.
I know that you are good and that you are colluding, so there is no need to emphasize it again and again.
"Then Your Majesty..."
Wei Ji tentatively said, his demeanor and tone were all etiquette and solemn, as if he were standing at a palace banquet to receive foreign envoys. Nothing or anyone could shock and panic him.
"Gu Lai confesses his love." Zhao Zheng looked at Wei Ji and said calmly, "Gu Lai confesses his love to Jiang He."
Gu Lai confessed his love. He was about to say it, but you interrupted him.
That's fine, you should listen to it too.
They say you are smart, maybe you already knew that.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, I’ll tell do you want to use Jiang He to threaten Gu?Do you want to spread the word so that everyone knows?
Regardless of your scheming, come on.
Wei Ji in front of him tried his best to conceal his inner panic, but his beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and the reins in his hands fell to the ground.
Zhao Zheng turned a blind eye and said: "I have a crush on Princess Jiang He of Anguo, so I came all the way from the Jingshui River to express my love. I wonder what Mr. Wei thinks of this matter?"
I wonder if one of the guards hidden on the branches fell down. After a loud "snap", the surroundings were as quiet as night.
The torches burned brightly, and the three people standing on the official road in the dusk were as deadlocked as wood carvings.
After a moment of surprise, Jiang He blurted out: "Zhao Zheng!"
Zhao Zheng looked at Jiang He.
This woman didn't have the usual shyness on her daughter's face when her love was confessed.
She pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Zheng, with warning in her eyes.
Why do you always speak harshly to Wei Ji and Feng Xiaoyu, and to yourself?
Zhao Zheng took a step back and explained in a low voice as if he was frightened by her: "It's you who said you want Gu to speak well. Gu will no longer force you, stop doing willful things, and can't help it. But Gu Xin likes you and likes you. , can’t you say this too?”
In fact, if he faced Jiang He, he really didn't know if he could express his it was much easier to say it like this when Wei Ji asked him.
She was like honey that he held in his mouth and was afraid of turning into, like glass that he held in his hands that was afraid of falling, making him not know how to deal with her.
But today she taught him to speak well, and then he would speak well.
Whatever comes to mind, speak out.
Jiang He's face turned red.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the night, Zhao Zheng's heart felt like a stormy sea crashing through it, leaving behind moisture and heat.
Jiang He didn't expect that not long ago she was teaching Zhao Zheng on the carriage, asking him to apologize to her and speak turned around and confessed his love in front of Wei Ji.
She thought she was thick-skinned, but she didn't expect that there was someone even thicker-skinned than her.
"Sure, I know."
Jiang He left these words in a panic, then raised his voice and called.
"Zongjun, let's go!"
Zong Jun came out of the woods, limping with one foot.
"What's going on?" Jiang He asked.
"I accidentally fell down." Zongjun forced a smile and moved onto the carriage.
He just climbed onto the branch to avoid mosquitoes, how could he hear His Majesty's confession in his lifetime!It's a pity that Li Wenzhou is not here, it's a pity that he doesn't have any friends and can't talk about this matter.
Seeing Zongjun turning around and taking Jiang He away, only Zhao Zheng and Wei Ji were left on the official road.
Zhao Zheng looked at the carriage disappearing like flying with warmth in his eyes and turned around.
"Your Majesty is leaving now?" Wei Ji asked.
"Of course I want to leave." Zhao Zheng had already taken steps, "Master, do you want to stop me?"
Wei Ji didn't stop him.
He bent down to pick up the reins and mounted his horse.
"Your Majesty can come and go freely today." Wei Ji's mind had calmed down. He turned to look in the direction Jiang He left and settled down. "Xiao He hasn't had dinner today. I have prepared seafood, so I won't invite your Majesty." ." The horse galloped away, and Zhao Zheng looked a little lonely.
Sea food? want to eat.
Su Yu has appeared again with the doctor's command.
This time Zhao Zheng did not drive him away.
"Your Majesty," Su Yu couldn't help but ask as he helped Zhao Zheng jump into the carriage, "Shall we go back?"
"Return half of it." Zhao Zhengdao.
What does half answer mean? Su Yu was a little confused, but didn't dare to ask.
Didn’t you just say that you should talk nicely?Why did he suddenly become incomprehensible again?
It seems that she only speaks well to Princess Anguo.
Jiang He couldn't calm down until the carriage entered the house.
If you buy food, just buy food. Why should you say you like it or say you like it? She knew how to arrange troops and how to burn firewood for cooking, but she did not know what the relationship between men and women should be and what it would be like.
Compared to Zhao Zheng, who was talking nonsense like this now, and who was always talking about transactions and coercion from the beginning, she felt more comfortable.
Jiang He sighed heavily on the carriage, and Zong Jun outside the carriage also sighed.
"Why are you sighing?" Jiang He asked.
"This slave is gasping for air because her feet hurt." Zong Jun curled his lips and said.
Jiang He called the steward to ask for a doctor from Zongjun, but the doctor invited by the steward hadn't arrived yet, so Wei Ji came back.
He was holding a pot of wine in his hand, with a smile on his face, standing in the brightly lit courtyard with jade trees facing the wind, and said to Jiang He: "I bought wine and brought seafood, let's eat together."
Although she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she couldn't refuse the request to simply have a meal.
"You wait in the front hall for a moment while I do it."
Jiang He tied up his arm rope and said.
"You go and rest, I'll do it."
As Wei Ji spoke, he was already heading towards the kitchen. The entourage behind him followed him carrying seafood soaked in ice water.
Wei Ji was busy in the kitchen for a long time.
The doctor came, prescribed some medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and left. Someone else came to the door and whispered a few words to Zongjun.
Zongjun immediately turned to look at Jiang He and said, "It's done."
"how?"
The blush on Jiang He's face has faded, and he is standing in front of the desk and continuing to write the military secret she is upset, she likes to write slowly.
Zongjun whispered: "The people in charge of the grain and grass in the army knew about the purchase. They first talked with the people in the city and said they would sell [-] carts of grain; then they contacted the granary outside the city and said they wanted to buy [-] carts of grain. .They can make a lot of money by doing this."
If a fish bites the bait, can it still escape?
"It's done." Jiang He said, "Take it."
Zong Jun nodded with a smile, but suddenly his face showed embarrassment.
"Your Highness, we don't have enough money."
Others flipped things around just to make money, and they lost more than half of their , let alone collecting [-] carts of grain, even [-] is not enough.
"Aren't Zhao Zheng-Su Yu and the others going to buy food? They must have brought money." Jiang He said.
Since I brought it with me, it’s not a bad idea to borrow it for a few days.
As soon as he finished speaking, he smelled the fresh fragrance of seafood, and then saw Wei Ji appear with a food plate.
"Short of silver?" He took off the only ornament from his waist, a dark green three-edged arrow, and handed it to Jiang He, "Go to the mansion opposite to get some."
The mansion opposite is Wei Ji's mansion.
Jiang He hesitated.
She plotted to punish his brother, and he came to help her.
"I just hope this matter will go over quickly." Wei Ji said, "Hurry up. I have something to tell you."
It was time to return the marriage certificate sent to Qi State, and he wanted to choose an opportunity to tell Jiang He about it.
When the dust settles, she will be his wife.
Spending a sum of money is nothing.
Jiang He was soft-hearted and would not really kill his brother.
Zong Jun happily took the token and limped away.
The maid came forward and placed the bowls and chopsticks. Wei Ji and Jiang He sat opposite each other.
"Try my cooking skills," he said with a smile, "I learned it from the royal chef of your Qi State."
"Okay." Jiang He nodded with a smile.
The sea cucumber was soft, waxy and tough. She lowered her head slightly, feeling guilty and uneasy in her heart.
At this time, in the palace of King Qi, the young master Jiang Bi spent two days to finally let his father understand why Jiang He could not die and why he had to comply with her request.
"Gathering an army together and moving is no child's play!" The king of Qi still hesitated.
"Father, if you find it troublesome, please go away!" Jiang Ben stood up, his fat body swaying, giving him a bit more momentum.
The king of Qi State was still shaking his head. He raised his hand and dropped a roll of bamboo slips, asking Jiang Ben to read it himself.
"Actually, the State of Wei has sent a delegation here," the King of Qi said. "If they want to marry Jiang He, they will marry Wei Ji, the young master who brought Jiang He back from Yong State. Therefore, I don't understand. Since they want to marry Jiang He, Wei Guo, why can't we turn the war into friendship with Wei Guo? No matter how much Jiang Anqing is tortured, doesn't he still have a life? No matter how blind or lame, it's just an apology. If you mobilize the troops in this way and lose your harmony, you can't alright."
Marry into the Kingdom of Wei? Jiang Ben lowered his head and read the bamboo slip carefully.
On that day at Mount Jiuwei, the King of Yong State indeed said that he no longer wanted her and asked him to choose another sister for marriage.
Jiang He did indeed leave with Wei Ji, walking at a fast pace without even looking back, just faster than when he left Yong Kingdom.
Sister, she wants to marry Wei Ji?
"Father," Jiang Ben raised his head and asked, "should we just write down Princess Anguo's Nian Geng on it and the marriage will be considered successful?"
The king of Qi nodded slightly.
Peace would benefit both sides, and he did not want to go to war with Wei.
