Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 114 A'Zhu's love

If he marries Mu Wanqing, Zhao Mu can also use "fake power" and "hidden the truth".

After all, they were just a collateral clan, but in the eyes of everyone in Dali Kingdom, they thought they were "relatives of the emperor" in the capital. He is a close minister next to the little emperor.

But in fact Zhao Mu was not, and even Emperor Zhezong didn't know who he was.

But if Mu Wanqing marries Zhao Mu and the Dali Kingdom sends a mission to the Central Plains to propose marriage, then Zhao Mu can eat soft rice from his wife and father-in-law. After all, the "crown prince" of the Dali Kingdom marries his daughter. It is impossible for the little emperor in the palace to ignore this matter. Then the emperor will notice him.

At that time, as a political bargaining chip for "harmony", he would also become the messenger of "friendly exchanges" between Dali and Song Dynasty. With Dali as his "political capital", it is much stronger than a small loyal and filial king.

Now, compared with those high-ranking official titles, being able to walk in front of the emperor and making the emperor notice him is the most important thing to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu stayed at home for seven days. During these seven days, he was not in a hurry to learn the art of disguise with A'Zhu, but rather took her around for a walk. The two of them mainly relax.

Zhao Mu took A'Zhu to see the red sunset in Yanyun, and the two of them rode horses side by side on the official road.

Zhao Mu said at this time: "I really don't know when I will see such beautiful scenery again."

A'Zhu asked back: "This is Brother Zhao's fiefdom. Brother Zhao can see it whenever he wants, can't he?"

Zhao Mu said, "It's almost time for me to leave. What are your plans, A'Zhu?"

A'Zhu said: "Huh? Brother Zhao, are you planning to send me back to Gusu so soon?"

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Haha, the legs are on you, a ghost like you. If you don't want to go back, even if I send you back, you will run out. So why should I send you there?"

A'Zhu narrowed his eyes and said mischievously: "Because I am a weak woman. I am a weak woman traveling alone. What if I meet a bad person? Of course, I need you, Brother Zhao, to be the messenger to protect the flowers."

Zhao Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Haha, you are a weird girl. You are a weak woman who is more powerful than ten grown men. If a bad guy meets you, it will be his bad luck."

When A'Zhu heard Zhao Mu's answer, she did not retort coquettishly, but said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment from Mr. Zhao, I am very honored, little girl."

Zhao Mu also smiled and said nothing.

But then A'Zhu asked her doubts. She asked, "Brother Zhao, where are you going when you leave home this time?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Dali Kingdom!"

A'Zhu asked: "Why are you going to Dali?"

Zhao Mu sighed and said, "Of course I'm going to see my fiancée."

"Ah!?" A'Zhu screamed when she heard this, and she said, "What? Brother Zhao, do you already have a fiancée?"

Seeing her such a big reaction, Zhao Mu deliberately pretended not to understand and said, "What? Is this weird? Your brother Zhao isn't very ugly, right? It's normal for him to like a girl."

A'Zhu lowered his head at this time, pouting his little mouth and murmuring: "That's not true, it's just"

Zhao Mu looked at A'Zhu. He knew that girls are very thin-skinned, so he said, "Zhao Mu is grateful for Miss A'Zhu's love."

A'Zhu looked at Zhao Mu after hearing this. Since the layer of window paper has been pierced, A'Zhu no longer covered it up. She said with a face full of shame: "It turns out that Brother Zhao already knows about it."

Zhao Mu replied: "If you are not a fool, how can you not know? To be honest, if you want to say who I like the most among the women I know, then it is naturally you. But I can't give you what you deserve. "Famous title." Ah Zhu asked in reply: "Why is this?"

Zhao Mu pretended to sigh and said: "I only wish I was born in an emperor's family. If I were an ordinary person, then I would be willing to take you to travel through thousands of rivers and mountains, see all the beautiful scenery in the world, and become a couple of gods and gods. But unfortunately I am not. , as an emperor, I do not have the right to freely choose what I love."

A'Zhu said at this time: "Is it like those princesses who get married?"

Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Absolutely."

Then Zhao Mu informed A'Zhu that Zhao Ji had arranged a marriage for him in Prince Zhongxiao's Palace, and also informed A'Zhu of some things about Dali.

Zhao Mu continued: "So compared to Princess Zhongxiao, who I have never met before and whose character and appearance I don't even know, it is better for me to choose someone who is familiar with her. At least Miss Mu is still a half-acquaintance. I and Prince Zhennan The father and son also have some friendship with Emperor Baoding of Dali. This can be regarded as one of the few rights I have to choose. Of course, if Dali still recognizes this marriage, that would be the best. But if they don’t, Then I will raise money and ask my mother to give a betrothal gift to Prince Zhongxiao’s palace.”

A'Zhu was not angry when she heard this. She comforted: "Brother Zhao, you are so pitiful. You can't even choose someone you like."

When Zhao Mu saw A'Zhu caring about him, he smiled and said, "Haha, what do I have to be sorry for? A man can have three wives and four concubines, but I can't choose my first wife. A'Zhu, you are a good person. Girl, my mother is right. I can't give you the status you deserve, so I can't delay you. My mother experienced this kind of thing back then, and she knows this pain better than anyone else. I don't want you to go through it again. What my mother went through back then.”

Hearing this, A'Zhu's depressed little face immediately showed a smile again.

Looking at A'Zhu's expression, Zhao Mu said, "Haha, you girl can change her face much faster than she can disguise herself."

A'Zhu let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "If Brother Zhao is just like this, then A'Zhu won't worry."

Zhao Mu asked deliberately: "Oh? Why is this?"

A'Zhu replied: "Because A'Zhu only wants to be with Brother Zhao. As for his status, A'Zhu doesn't care. A'Zhu was born as a maid, so she is not as good as the princess and princess of the prince's family, nor will she be with him. What are they fighting over? As long as Brother Zhao likes A'Zhu, A'Zhu will be satisfied."

Zhao Mu also chuckled softly and said: "You girl. But what's so great about princess and princess?" At this time, Zhao Mu said loudly to the deserted mountains: "I, Zhao Mu, will Born by a dancing girl! But so what! I am a bastard born out of a concubine, but I want to make a breakthrough and let those who look down on me take a look! Hahaha."

Zhao Mu's hearty laughter echoed outside Yanmen Pass, while A'Zhu looked at him with a smile on his face.

This is also one of the reasons why he likes Zhao Mu, that is, Zhao Mu never treats her as a humble maid, but treats her as an equal friend.

Although A'Zhu was raised as a young lady by the Murong family, she had a very low self-esteem because she had been alone and dependent on others since she was a child.

But Zhao Mu gave her what she had always longed for, which was "equality" and "respect."

When Zhao Mu was in Wuxi that day, he said in front of everyone that he came to rescue or help clear Murong Fu's suspicion. Although it was a chivalrous act, it was mostly done for her sake.

A'Zhu never thought that a little maid like herself could be treated as an equal by a prince. After several rescues, A'Zhu had a good impression of Zhao Mu.

A'Zhu really fell in love with this man after the Shaolin Temple incident. He used his own skills to heal her injuries, and even asked the best doctor in the world to heal her injuries.

After arriving in Dai County, during the past few days of getting along with each other, Zhao Mu never looked down upon her, and always treated her as an equal, which made A'Zhu completely fall in love with him.

Not to mention that she was made younger, even if she continued to be a maid, A'Zhu was willing to do so.
