Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 360 is here to find me

Zhao Mu discussed with everyone for a long time in the palace.

Although he handed over the General Seal of Dali Kingdom, everyone in Dali Kingdom now follows his lead.

Zhao Mu detailed his plan to everyone. In the future, the Song Dynasty planned to destroy Xixia, surrender to Tubo, and pacify Liao. Zhao Mu also arranged roles suitable for them in Dali.

However, Zhao Mu did not let Dali suffer a loss. Zhao Mu also promised that after Tibet is surrendered in the future, a large area of ​​land on the north bank of the Lancang River can be allocated to Dali to expand the territory of Dali.

In short, the Song Dynasty ate meat, and Dali, as a vassal state, drank soup and gnawed its bones. As long as Dali country kept its own rules and became a vassal vassal of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would not treat Dali country badly.

After discussing the details, Zhao Mu ordered Gao Shengtai and others to prepare in advance and then wait for news from him.

After Zhao Mu explained the matter, he left the palace and returned to Zhennan Palace.

Although Duan Yu, his wife and Azi were back, the Zhennan Palace was big enough to accommodate Zhao Mu alone.

When Zhao Mu returned to Zhennan Palace, Duan Yu and his wife welcomed Zhao Mu to live here temporarily.

Gao Mei asked the maid sternly: "Did you hear correctly? Are you really here to see King Zhennan, not His Highness King Qi?"

As for whether to manage politics or not, he has no interest. Moreover, the military and political affairs of Dali are all in the hands of Gao Shengtai's family. Even if he wants to take charge personally, he has to look at the faces of his father-in-law and wife.

Zhao Mu said with some embarrassment at this time: "Uh! He didn't come to see you, Brother Duan. I'm afraid he came to see me."

Gao Mei asked: "Ah? He's looking for you? Then why did he come to ask for an audience with King Zhennan?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mu and Duan Yu were stunned for a moment. Duan Yu temporarily put the white pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and asked: "Messenger from the Liao Kingdom? I have always ignored political affairs, why did he come to me?"

Zhao Muzheng and Duan Yu were playing chess and drinking tea in the hall, when they heard the maid coming to report: "Your Majesty, Princess. The envoy from the Liao Kingdom requested an audience."

When the maid heard Gao Mei's stern reprimand, she was so frightened that she trembled and said, "Reporting to the princess, everything I say is true. The envoy from the Liao Kingdom is here to meet the King of Zhennan."

Rather than living by looking at people's faces all day long, it's better to hide away and have some leisure time.

Zhao Mu looked at Gao Mei and said, "She is right. The Liao envoy came to pay homage to the King of Zhennan, but this King of Zhennan is not Brother Duan, but me. Just now in the court, the Liao envoy came to disrupt the situation again. So I tricked him and assumed Brother Duan’s identity, so he came to see me, not Brother Duan.”

Zhao Mu said: "Brother Duan, please invite this Liao envoy to come in. Since the show has begun, I will continue to sing the show."

Duan Yu replied: "That's it."

Duan Yu smiled and said: "Of course, if that's the case, why don't I avoid it. If you and I show up at the same time, I'm afraid it will be a little unclear."

Although Duan Yu was promoted to King of Zhennan, he still hasn't gotten used to this status after all this time. Rather than being the King of Zhennan, he wanted to be a proton and allow Bianjing to be with Zhao Mu.

Seeing that Duan Yu was about to leave, Zhao Mu immediately said, "That's not necessary. I can introduce you to someone else, such as the young Marquis of the Gao family."

Hearing this title, Duan Yu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

If anyone else said this, Duan Yu would probably not look good even if he didn't fall out on the spot. Because the Gao family is powerful, his uncle is much more powerful than him, the prince. Duan Yu didn't bother to dress him up.

However, although Duan Yu's face looked a little strange, he did not show his unhappiness in front of Zhao Mu.

Duan Yu said: "No need. Since Brother Zhao has important things to do, the Liao envoy may keep coming in the past few days. Alas! I haven't been back to Dali for a long time. I want to visit the blessed land of Langhuan. If Zhao Brother, if you have time, come to Wuliang Mountain to find me."

Zhao Mu is the best at observing words and expressions. He didn't know what he said was wrong, which made Duan Yu unhappy.

But Duan Yu was right. Before the Liao envoy left, he might have to visit the Zhennan Palace. Since Duan Yu wanted to go to Wuliang Mountain to see the jade statue, Zhao Mu couldn't persuade him to stay. He said, "In that case, wait until the matter here is settled. Let's go to Wuliang Jade Cave and talk for a few more rounds."

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Okay! In that case, I'll take the first step."

Zhao Mu also nodded silently.

Duan Yu then left happily, waving his fan without looking back. He didn't even say hello to Gao Mei, his wife, or even look at her.

Faced with Duan Yu's rudeness, Gao Mei's face looked a little ugly.

Zhao Mu looked at Duan Yu's retreating back. He looked at Gao Mei and asked, "Is he like this on weekdays?"

Gao Mei shook his head and said, "Of course not. Although he was a little cold when we first got married, he still had the most basic respect." Gao Mei looked at Zhao Mu and said, "I want to ask you this, since He has been very cold to me since he came back from Song Dynasty. Did you say something to him? "

Zhao Mu looked at Gao Mei's sharp eyes and smiled: "Then you have wronged a good person. But I feel that this problem may be caused by you."

Gao Mei pointed at herself and said, "Me? Am I sorry for him in any way?"

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "I don't know anything else, at least you didn't give him the respect of a husband." Zhao Mu looked at the chess game on the board. Although his martial arts skills are much better than Duan Yu's, in terms of chess skills, he is completely defeated by Duan Yu. Zhao Mu thought for a long time and didn't know where he would end up next.

Gao Mei put her hands around and said, "How can I give him respect? I show him the greatest respect by marrying him. If I were not his princess, he..." Gao Mei did not continue, after all, it is not a glory for a powerful minister to deceive the emperor. things.

Gao Mei then changed the topic and said: "I think he is having trouble with his old relationship. He is still thinking about his sister Wan!" At this time, Gao Mei squinted his eyes and said with a bad smile, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, you have to Be careful."

Zhao Mu was still looking for a way to break the game. He said, "Why should I be careful?"

Seeing Zhao Mu focus on the chessboard instead of looking at himself, Gao Mei was somewhat angry. But she still endured it and said: "Be careful, your princess will rekindle her old relationship with her husband Duan Lang, and you, the green dragon with four claws, will become the domineering subordinate of the monument."

At this time, Zhao Mu looked back at Gao Mei, who had a smirk on his face.

He understood what Gao Mei meant. He is the prince of the Song Dynasty, the emperor is a five-clawed dragon, and these princes wearing python robes are naturally four-clawed green dragons. Naha is also one of the legendary Nine Sons of the Dragon, with a dragon head and a turtle body, also known as Bixi. It is usually the animal that carries inscriptions in front of the mausoleum. Folks also jokingly call it the "Batuo Stone Stele".

Gao Mei called him a "bastard" in a roundabout way.

Zhao Mu replied: "I don't need to worry about this for the princess. Let's not mention that Brother Duan is in Dali and Wan'er is in Bianjing. They are thousands of miles apart. And the two of them are biological brothers and sisters, how can they commit incest and immorality? What’s more, if Brother Duan is serious about it, I’m afraid the princess standing in the Zhennan Palace now is Wan’er, not you!”
