Lord and leave

Chapter 225

However, many things are unsatisfactory. The barbarians on the frontier always harass the residents on the border of Chu State, seriously affecting their normal life.

The barbarians continued to cause trouble, causing the residents on the border to complain, but the emperor who had just ascended the throne did not respond at all, which made the people who originally supported the fourth prince's enthronement gradually lose confidence.

Perhaps their "God of War" is no longer what they thought they were. After ascending the throne, their edges and corners have been worn away, and they are no longer what they used to be, and they don't have the same evil spirit as before.

The border of Chu State saw such troubles, and Chu State still tolerated it, and did not respond at all. They couldn't help laughing at Chu Hengqing's mediocrity and incompetence.

Zhao Guo "reported to King Zhao, Chu State still hasn't responded at all, what should we do next?"

This is the royal study of King Zhao of the State of Zhao. The person who reported the situation in the Royal Study of King Zhao was the cronies of King Zhao and one of the main persons in charge of this harassment of the State of Chu. Of course, the mastermind behind this operation is of course King Zhao. .

"Sure enough, as expected, a little yellow-haired boy who doesn't even have all his teeth, what ability can he have to lead the Chu country? When his father comes back, the Chu country is about to end. Is it in his hands? Can it be brought back to life? It’s simply a whimsical idea! But that’s fine too, as long as Chu Hengqing is in power, it will be easier for us to get the Chu Kingdom. Haha..." Just thinking about it now, Zhao Wang began to smile happily When he came out, King Zhao was very happy when he thought that Chu State would be the territory of their Zhao State in the future and belonged to Zhao State.

The state of Zhao is located on the frontier, so it usually lives on nomads. Although it has a large land and rich resources, its population is relatively small. At this time, the state of Zhao is somewhat similar to the earliest modern Mongolian ethnic group.

Men herd herds while women take care of the livestock at the same time as housekeeping. This is the biggest characteristic of Zhao.It is also because of this that the men in Zhao State are very strong, and so are the women.

The Zhao people are the same as the Mongols. Their main diet is beef, mutton and milk of cows and goats, and other supplements.

The ethnic groups living in the prairie are generally bolder, straightforward, and wild.

"Zhao Wang Yingming, as long as we win the fat of Chu, then other countries will be waiting." There will be a few flattering sycophants around any emperor, and Zhao is no exception.

Hearing what he said, Zhao Wang was even more happy, his mouth was so happy that it almost cracked his ears, which made the sycophant next to him even more excited. The happier Zhao Wang was, the more flattering the sycophant would be loud.

"Good! Good! Good!" King Zhao said three good words in a row, which was enough to see how excited he was at the moment.

"Just continue with the current method, continue to harass the border of Chu State, and slowly harass their people. As long as Chu Hengqing ignores it for a day, their people's confidence in Chu Hengqing will become less and less. If things go on like this, I'll see if Chu Hengqing can continue to sit on this throne, haha..." Zhao Wang's hearty whisper echoed throughout the imperial study.

The sycophant saw Zhao Wang laughing, and quickly followed suit, and the laughter of the two people reflected each other like this.

The Royal Study Room of the Chu Palace is also not deserted.

Pan Yang used to be Chu Hengqing's right-hand man, and now that Chu Hengqing has ascended the throne, he is even more of Chu Hengqing's good helper.

Pan Yang has always done things safely and swiftly, so Chu Hengqing also planned to entrust him to do things this time.

"Pan Yang, I think you already know eighty-nine percent of what happened to the barbarians in the frontiers to harass our people this time, so you don't need to repeat it?" Whoever said Chu Hengqing asked questions, but it was true It's a very positive tone.

Pan Yang has been by his side for many years, and he is already familiar with Chu Hengqing's style of doing things. Over the years, many times, Chu Hengqing has not given orders, and he has already done it.

According to common sense, having such a slave by his side would cause a certain sense of threat to the master, but Pan Yang never did.

Pan Yang does things by doing things, but he never asks for credit, and he grew up beside Chu Hengqing since he was a child. He is an orphan bought by Chu Hengqing, so he always feels that Chu Hengqing is his benefactor in this life. No matter how many things Chu Hengqing did, he couldn't repay such a great favor, so Pan Yang could be said to be absolutely loyal to Chu Hengqing.

Chu Hengqing also knew this, so he was so relieved to let Pan Yang stay by his side, and he never had any other thoughts. This was the tacit understanding between their master and servant.

"Back to the emperor, I have heard about this matter." Pan Yang answered honestly as always, without any nonsense in it, this is Pan Yang's style of conduct.

"Well, now our country is full of internal troubles, and foreign troubles are beginning to move around the corner. This nuisance incident is by no means accidental. Someone must be manipulating behind the scenes. You put down what you are doing for a while and investigate to find out who is manipulating all this behind the scenes. Remember To cover up."

It turned out that Chu Hengqing said at the court this morning that he would ignore the matter of the barbarian land for the time being, which was a pretense of perfunctory officials. In fact, he already had a plan to deal with it in his heart.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Hengqing has determined that these nuisance incidents belong to the same person, because their methods of doing things are all the same.

The current state of Chu is a big piece of fat for other countries, as long as it is a powerful country, it wants to take a bite and share a piece of the pie.

The rebellion of the prince of the state of Chu some time ago, the change of the dynasty now, coupled with the floods and famines caused by God’s bad luck, add up one by one, making the current state of Chu fragile. The law is difficult to implement.

"Yes, I obey." Pan Yang's crisp answer directly fell into Chu Hengqing's ears.

This made Chu Hengqing very satisfied, and nodded secretly, which was regarded as an affirmation of Pan Yang.

In this way, Pan Yang started to set off for the border of Chu State when it was dark without anyone noticing.

Compared to Zhao Wang and Chu Hengqing, Zhu Bingling seemed much more relaxed.

Nothing happened in the past few days, so Zhu Bingling felt uncomfortable all over.

I always feel that this is like the calm before the storm, which makes people feel restless.

In the yard, "Ying Ruo, do you feel that something is about to happen? I always feel uneasy and restless." Zhu Bingling was lying in a rocking chair in the yard, on which a An unknown animal's fur, so that even in the late summer and early autumn now, you won't feel a bit cold. Of course, Zhu Bingling didn't come up with such a careful thing. Thoughtful Yingruo.

Next to Zhu Bingling's rocking chair was a very delicate table, which was filled with various fruits, but it was different from the previous days. There were no ice cubes around the fruits that had been on the table for a while.

"Sister, I think you are too idle to think too much. How could something happen? Except that Zhao Heng sent people to harass me a few times before and you dismissed me, isn't it always good? I think this kind of life is better, quiet and happy.” The one who spoke was really the thoughtful and considerate Ying Ruo, who was peeling Zhu Bingling’s apples at this time, and Zhu Bingling’s treatment is really extraordinary Well, with a little beauty like Yingruo accompanying her, and being able to serve her so thoughtfully, even the gods are really jealous.

"Is that so? But Ying Ruo, my sixth sense has always been very accurate. This anxiety must not be groundless, there must be something that I have overlooked.

By the way, is there any news from Chu Liyue? "

Although what Ying Ruo said was reasonable, she still felt a little uneasy in her heart. It was better to be sure. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the eventuality. It is better to prevent things before they happen.

"There hasn't been any news from Xiaoyue in the past two days, and I haven't heard of anything special.

If there is something, she must be more anxious than you, so you just put your heart in your stomach.

But when my sister said this, I remembered one thing. It seems that I haven't seen Brother Shen for a while, and I don't know where he went. It seems to be many days now. "Ying Ruo didn't lift her head when she replied, she was still peeling the apple very seriously, her earnest appearance was really flattering.

Zhu Bingling raised her head, and what she saw was Ying Ruo's appearance, the curvature of the corner of her mouth gradually widening.

Although Ying Ruo is still relatively simple now, she is much better than before. She doesn't want to erase Ying Ruo's current simplicity. Now everything is on the right track, and they have their own With power, she has the ability to protect herself, so on the premise that Ying Ruo has the ability to protect herself, it's not a bad thing to keep her a little bit of innocence.

"It's really good for you to say that. I don't know where Shen Boling has slipped away recently. I haven't seen anyone for so many days, and I don't know how to send someone to bring a message back. It's getting more and more outrageous." Damn boy, I haven't heard from you for so many days, so nothing will happen, right?

"Hehe, my sister is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If I really see Big Brother Shen, I will ask questions more than anyone else. Why is it still like this now? I don't believe you are not worried about Big Brother Shen!" If the apple in your hand is finally peeled, what is peeled off is the thin layer of apple skin on the outside of the apple, and the flesh under the apple skin is intact through Yingruo's skillful hands. It can be seen that Yingruo's handwork is extraordinary. How long did it take to develop such a good technique.

Zhu Bingling glared at Yingruo viciously, and then reprimanded fiercely, "Little girl, if you talk nonsense again, don't be afraid that I will beat you."

Ying Ruo giggled, and didn't take Zhu Bingling's threat seriously at all, because she knew that Zhu Bingling was a hard-hearted person, and it was impossible to get angry about such a trivial matter, "My sister just said that she didn't mean what she meant. Punish me, in fact, it hurts me so much!" Ying Ruo not only said verbally, but also did not idle in the movements of her hands, she took the freshly peeled apple and sent it to Zhu Bingling's mouth.

Zhu Bingling took the tempting apple without any hassle, put it in her mouth and bit it, the sweet juice passed down her throat in an instant, making people feel endless aftertaste.

Except that there is no modern high-tech in this ancient time, everything else is good. They are all green food, which makes people eat at ease and live comfortably. "You little slicker, now you have become glib, and people can't resist your little sweet mouth."

It is an eternal truth that the hands are short and the mouth is soft when eating people. Zhu Bingling eats the apple that Ying Ruo just peeled in his mouth, so how can he still have the heart to reprimand Ying Ruo?
Hey, I can only blame her for being lazy, she doesn't like to peel apples, and relying entirely on Ying Ruo's skillful hands, she can only recognize them silently.

The two of them were chatting and making trouble in the yard, completely unaware that the danger was approaching.
