Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 176 Goodbye, everyone in Dali

Zhao Mu didn't expect that the little emperor could be so considerate and even insightful. Although this made Zhao Mu feel a sense of crisis that "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger". But Zhao Mu was also very pleased. At least the country of the Song Dynasty is now in the right hands.

And compared with him, I may not be better than him.

But this also made Zhao Mu feel wary.

Zhao Mu also wanted to examine whether the little emperor was really worthy of his assistance.

If Emperor Zhezong is really a wise emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, then I am willing to be his Wei Qing and Li Jing. Be a sharp sword in his hand. Wherever the emperor points, he will strike. If there is no war, then I will resign and hand over power to enjoy the happiness of the world.

But if Emperor Zhezong is suspicious of him, then Zhao Mu must be prepared to deal with it in advance. After all, those who have achieved great success since ancient times basically have no good ending. Let alone a hero who can justifiably replace him.

But at the moment, the little emperor has no intention of killing the donkey, and this "caring" look seems to be specially intended to win over him. Zhao Mu naturally thanked the Lord for his kindness.

After Zhao Mu left the palace, he did not return to his residence. Instead, he asked the coachman to go directly to the Guanyi where the Dali delegation was staying.

As soon as Zhao Mu got out of the car, he saw Zhu Danchen who was about to leave. Zhu Danchen said happily when he saw Zhao Mu: "Master Zhao! Zhu Danchen was about to go to find you, but you didn't expect that you arrived by yourself. Hurry! The prince wants to see you. !" After saying that, Zhu Danchen pulled Zhao Mu and quickly walked towards the hotel.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Danchen said happily: "Your Majesty, let's see who is here!"

Duan Yu turned around and saw Zhao Mu and said happily: "Brother Zhao!" After saying that, he stepped forward and held Zhao Mu's hand. Zhao Mu felt a little scared when he saw him like this. Duan Yu said excitedly: "We said goodbye in Gusu that day. I haven't seen Brother Zhao for a long time. Duan Yu really misses him very much."

Zhao Mu said awkwardly: "It seems inappropriate for the prince to call me this way now."

Gao Shengtai, who was sitting next to him, also laughed and said: "Hahaha, it's really inappropriate. Mr. Zhao is now our son-in-law of Dali Kingdom and your brother-in-law. How can you two be brothers?"

Duan Yu put down his airs at this time and returned to his usual cynicism. He scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Zhao and Wanmei will be my son-in-law of Dali Kingdom after they get married. The title of Brother Zhao is indeed inappropriate."

Zhao Mu smiled at this time and said: "Okay, there are no outsiders here now. It's better for everyone to be more easy-going." Then Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "It's really tiring to put on airs all day long in this capital. By the way, Mr. Gao, Brother Duan, I have many things to ask you now."

After hearing Zhao Mu's words, Duan Yu and others were no longer restrained and sat down separately.

Zhao Mu looked at the two of them, but there were so many flaws that he didn't know where to ask.

But Zhao Mu thought for a while and said: "By the way, Brother Duan, aren't you the Crown Prince of Zhennan? Why did you become the Prince of Zhennan after not seeing you for a few months? What about the prince? Is it possible that he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor?"

Duan Yu replied: "That's right. After I returned to Dali, my mother arranged a marriage for me."

Zhao Mu said: "I know about this. It's the daughter of Marquis Gao's family. Wan'er has already told me about this. Wan'er seems to be jealous of you because of this. I originally saw her talking to you. When we attended the night banquet at the palace together, I thought you two siblings had reconciled. But I didn't expect that Wan'er turned out to be A'Zhu pretending to be her."

After Duan Yu heard this, he also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Hey! In the final analysis, I betrayed Wanmei, and there is nothing I can do about Wanmei's hatred. Brother Zhao, although Wanmei is a little fierce-tempered, she is indeed a good girl. You should take good care of her in the future, Duan Yu thanks her." After saying that, Duan Yu stood up and bowed to Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu also stood up quickly and said: "Hey! Brother Duan, what are you doing? Now I am your brother-in-law, and outside of it, you and I are half the same family. Wan'er betrothed me, which is my blessing. I am also How could he treat her poorly? But speaking of Wan'er, where has Wan'er gone? Since the person just now was A'Zhu, where is Wan'er?"

Gao Shengtai replied: "Princess, she left after getting off the car. I heard from Princess Ziling that she went back to Mr. Zhao's residence."

Zhao Mu said: "But I haven't seen her before."

At this moment, A'Zhu, speaking in Mu Wanqing's voice, said: "Master, don't worry. Sister Mu told me before that she wanted to be alone. He was afraid that you would force her to enter the palace to attend the banquet, so she secretly Went back. Didn’t alert anyone.”

Zhao Mu looked at A'Zhu in front of him and said with a smile, "It's a shame that you two figured it out, but you didn't realize that this is the crime of deceiving the emperor."

At this time, A'Zhu regained his voice and said: "How can I deceive the emperor? I disguised myself as Sister Mu. Didn't you even see my husband? Then the little emperor has never seen Sister Mu. How did he know that I was pretending to be Sister Mu?" ?”

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "That makes sense. Okay, A'Zhu. Now that the matter is over, just change back to yourself."

A'Zhu did not listen to Zhao Mu's words, but put her hands on her hips and shook her head, making the hairpin on her head jingle.

A'Zhu said at this time: "What? Aren't I beautiful now?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Naturally beautiful. But you don't have to always stand in Wan'er's face."

A'Zhu pouted her lips and said playfully: "No! I haven't seen enough of Sister Mu dressing up so beautifully. Besides, she hasn't seen it herself yet, so I don't have to take it off now. Okay! My husband will follow first. Let’s discuss it with Prince Duan. I’ll go back first and let Sister Mu see what I look like.”

With that said, A'Zhu left in a swaggering manner. Then it disappeared into the night.

Zhao Mu also smiled and shook his head. Zhao Mu asked at this time: "Oh! Let's continue. How did Brother Duan become a prince?"

Duan Yu replied: "That's right, because after I got married to Mei'er, I was going to start my own business. Originally, my uncle wanted to make me a king too. But my father thought there was no need to make another king of Dali, so my father wanted to make me a king. He passed the title of King of Zhennan to me, and he now takes the title of Crown Prince."

Zhao Mu nodded silently and said: "So that's it. What happened to Wan'er? How did Wan'er become a princess? And she is also the eldest princess. Even if the prince has officially succeeded the emperor's younger brother, Wan'er has not She’s qualified to be called a princess. And she’s also the ‘eldest princess’.”

Zhao Mu knew very well that only the emperor's eldest daughter, or the emperor's sister, biological aunt was qualified to be called the "eldest princess". Mu Wanqing was not Dao Baifeng's direct descendant, so even if she was granted the title of princess, she was not qualified to be called the "eldest princess".

If Duan Yu had said this, Zhao Mu might have thought it was a slip of the tongue.

But the words "Princess Zhaohua" were spoken by Gao Shengtai. The always scheming Marquis Gao would definitely not make such a stupid mistake. So Zhao Mu was very curious.
