The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 435 Willingly
Mr. Zhang returned to Zhen's Mansion with his master's words on his mind, and it was getting dark all the time.

He stepped on the tail of the dusk and stood at the gate of Zhen's Mansion, and knocked on the door with some melancholy.

It wasn't Uncle Li who opened the door this time, but it was probably Zhen Qingping who ordered it. The guard at the door glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Are you Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes."

"Please come in—"

"Thank you."

Zhang Lao arched his hands at him, and walked up the steps quickly, without using the little servant to lead the way, he touched Jun Rong's room by himself.

He came by coincidence, everyone was eating, when they heard the sound of the door opening, they looked up at the same time.

"Mr. Zhang? Why did you come back so soon? How is it? Did your master agree?"

Tsing Yi quickly put down the bowl in his hand and looked at him expectantly.

Zhang Lao: "...um..."

He responded ambiguously, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and felt that his master's condition was true and he couldn't say it.

He didn't need to be greeted, he found a seat and sat down, scratched his beard and said: "I told you before, my master, the old man has a bit of a weird personality, and I think he will raise some embarrassing conditions... ..."

Jun Rong put down the bowl and chopsticks, and looked at him thoughtfully: "So what's the condition?"

Zhang Lao hesitated to speak, he couldn't stand Han Yi anymore, "Zhang Lao, we are all acquaintances, you may as well speak up if you have anything to say."

Zhang Lao slapped his knees, smashed the pot and said: "Then I will tell you, my master has only one request, that is, to let His Majesty start from the foot of the mountain, kowtow in three steps, and go all the way to the door of his house."

"what?!"

Tsing Yi exclaimed, then turned to look at Lan Yi and Ning Zhao beside him and asked, "Did I hear correctly?"

"You heard me right, that's what my master said, so it's up to you to decide whether you want to. He is really bad-tempered, but he will definitely do what he promised, and his medical skills are indeed much better than mine."

Zhang Lao's eyes fell on Jun Rong, and seeing his frown, he couldn't help but raise his heart.

This condition is really too much, and ordinary people can't stand it, let alone someone who has been an emperor.

Whether Junrong will agree or not, he has no idea.

"This..." Tsing Yi glanced at Jun Rong hesitantly, then gritted his teeth and said, "I—"

"I'll go." Before he could finish speaking, Jun Rong responded first.

The people on the table looked sideways.

Han Yi disapproved and said: "No, you are the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the emperor, how can you do this kind of thing? I'll do it. It's only normal for me as a subordinate to do this kind of thing for the master."

"Let me do it. Speaking of which, Ayu and I are the real relatives."

Zhen Qingping also stood up.

"You guys don't want to grab it. My master called His Majesty to do it by name. You can't replace him."

Zhang Lao sighed again, he was about to use up all the breath of his life today.

Sandwiched in the middle, he is really ungrateful.

"Isn't it difficult for some strong people? Isn't that the way to test sincerity?" Ning Zhao disagreed, and she said to Zhang Lao: "Can the old man be accommodating, change the conditions or let us replace it."

Mr. Zhang waved his hand and said, "No, my master is very stubborn. He won't take back what he said. Either do it or don't do it. There is no other choice."

"Can--"

"Needless to say, I'll do it. It's just three steps and one kowtow. It's a little bit of physical pain. I don't think it's a bad thing for the Taifu to no longer be controlled by others."

"Have you really thought it through?" Mr. Zhang and the others stared at Junrong closely.

"When you ask someone to come out of the mountain, you must always show some sincerity. I have made up my mind. There is no need to persuade everyone. It is not too late. Let's set off now."

As he spoke, he picked up the soup bowl on the table and drank the last sip of soup, then stood up calmly.

Zhang Lao looked at him and suddenly realized that he was no longer the innocent boy he was before.

"I'll accompany you, I have to protect you, this is the mission assigned to me by the master." Han Yi followed suit and stood up.

"This..." Just as Zhang Lao was about to speak, Han Yi frowned and asked coldly, "I'll just send him to the foot of the mountain, isn't that all right?"

Mr. Zhang struggled for a moment, then stomped his feet and said, "Go, go, at worst, you all go. When the old man gets angry, I'll take care of it for you, but I'll tell you my ugly words. You can't go up the mountain when you reach the foot of the mountain." "Master, the old man values ​​his own territory very much, no one can go up there without his permission, otherwise if he turns his face, I can't stop him."

"We won't cause trouble, we just need to see the young master arrive at the foot of the mountain safely." Ning Zhao said hastily.

"Come on, take some lighting and follow me."

"Wait, it's too conspicuous for you to go out like this. I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage for you, and you go through the corner gate."

Zhen Qingping took out a token from his arms and handed it to Junrong, "This is the token for entering and leaving the city. If the city gate is locked when you come back, you can come in with this token. I have to keep it. Watch here, and I won’t be with you.”

"Thank you." Jun Rong took the token from his hand and bowed to him.

Zhen Qingping shook his head: "I should thank you, thank you for everything you have done for A Yu."

Jun Rong smiled, said nothing more, and led everyone out.

……

After all, taking a carriage was faster than Zhang Lao walking, and it took them less than half an hour to go.

The carriage drove into a hidden valley, and Mr. Zhang yelled in the carriage. He pointed forward and said, "It's the mountain in front, and it has a very elegant name, Suiyun Mountain."

Jun Rong lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside. Suiyun Mountain said it was not high, but it was a little more prominent than the surrounding hills.

The whole mountain is softer and not so steep.

With the last light of the setting sun, you can vaguely see the path in the mountains.

"Woo—" Tsing Yi who was driving the carriage pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped slowly at the foot of the mountain.

Jun Rong got out of the carriage first, looked up and asked, "Where is the house of Master?"

"There is a two-story bamboo building halfway up the mountain. You don't have to worry about me leading you, you won't get lost." Mr. Zhang followed the crowd and called out Mr. Zhang.

Jun Rong nodded, "Okay, let's start here."

As he spoke, he suddenly began to undress himself.

"My lord, what are you doing?" Zhang Lao looked at him in surprise, "The mountain wind is cold at night, don't freeze!"

"I was in a hurry to go out. I forgot to change my clothes. This woman's dress is not convenient for climbing."

He took off the layer of gauze that was covering the outside, then tore into several strips of cloth, and tied up his sleeves.

The hem of the skirt was lifted up and tied at the waist, which looked a little nondescript, but it was indeed quite convenient.
