wait for another year

The ending of neither getting drunk nor returning is that Zhao Xu almost lay down all the way to Ganzhou.

Xuanyuan Hui looked at him with his chin in his hands, with disgust on his face, "Looking at your posture, I thought you were not drunk after a thousand cups, but who knew that it turned out to be three cups down. When you fell backwards, I thought you were poisoned gone."

Zhao Xu didn't even bother to look at him, "Have you passed Ganzhou? Doesn't it mean that in ten days' time, you will arrive in Suzhou?"

"That's right, by the way, do you still remember the Ou Xuan you recruited?"

Zhao Xu raised her eyebrows, "Didn't I ask Bai Su to settle him down and assign two maidservants to take care of his daily life?"

Xuanyuan gave him a dark look, "You really caused me a lot of trouble, and he hasn't even arrived in Suzhou yet, he has already started asking for this and that, for people, for land, and for money... "

"A land?" Zhao Xu sat up suddenly, knocked his head on the carriage, gritted his teeth in pain, "What land does he want?"

I don't know who was driving the car today, it was really a little unstable, Zhao Xu felt dizzy and almost ran into it again, Xuanyuan Hui looked really tired and panicked, so he simply reached out and grabbed the back of his head.

"He actually told me he wanted a mountain!"

Zhao Xu paused, "Then give it to him."

Xuanyuan Hui looked at him delicately, "The princess claims to be well-read, so don't you know there are no mountains in Suzhou?"

"That's true..." Zhao Xu rubbed the center of his eyebrows, "Shou Ning, call Bai Su over here!"

After a while, Bai Su appeared outside the car, "My lord."

"If you ask him, he will say that there are no mountains in Suzhou, only diyao grottoes, and let him figure it out."

"Yes."

After Bai Su left, Xuanyuan Hui supported his head and told him to fall back, "If it's just forging swords, I'm afraid there's no need to mobilize people like this?"

Zhao Xu smiled, "My lord is really smart, where is Shen Mi?"

"Oh," Xuanyuan Hui sneered, "The civil servants are weak, and the illness he recovered in Qizhou relapsed in Liangzhou. I think he is terminally ill. Otherwise, why would the Marquis of Anyang visit him in person?"

Zhao Xu frowned, "This Shen Mi... let's take another look."

A gust of wind blew through, blowing in a lot of yellow sand.

Xuanyuan Hui got up, closed the green gauze curtain a little more, and stopped talking.

Before arriving in Suzhou, it was already so desolate, it was hard to imagine what it would be like to go a hundred miles to the northwest.

"The road is obstructed and long..." Xuanyuan Hui said quietly.

"The line is coming."

Xuanyuan Hui turned to look at him, but saw that his eyes were slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

He was leaning on the table, his posture was extremely lazy, but it was inexplicably reassuring.

Xuanyuan Hui raised the corner of his mouth, "If you do it, you will succeed."

According to reports, when there were still ten miles away from the city of Suzhou, the delicate and frail princess finally got out of the car and drove away with King Su.

The official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is no longer as straight as it used to be.The exhausted convoy was already at the end of its strength, and everyone felt an uncontrollable joy at the thought that the dust would soon be settled.

"My lord, the city gate is ahead!" The scouts came quickly.

Looking at his expression, Zhao Xu seemed hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Why, what's wrong?"

"The city gates are closed!"

It has been more than two months since the imperial decree was handed down, even if it didn't need to be rushed six hundred miles, and it was passed on one by one, the officials of Suzhou should have known about it.

Who gave them the courage to turn a deaf ear to the court's will, and who gave them the courage to reject their future king?

Xuanyuan Hui was furious, and said ferociously: "Is there someone guarding the tower? Is there someone guarding the gate?"

"If you go back to the prince, no matter whether it is the gate of the city, the tower or the urn, there is no one there."

Xuanyuan Hui's eyes were cold, he whipped his horsewhip, and ran straight towards the city gate.

Jai Zi and the others followed, but Zhao Xu was in no hurry to chase, a pair of phoenix eyes seemingly casually glanced at the followers. ——Those private soldiers "sent" by Deng Xiang seemed to be no different from others, but the schadenfreude in their eyes could not be hidden; most of the personal guards brought out from Chang'an were indignant, but there were also some strange expressions.

Zhao Xu wrote it down secretly, and said with a smile, "It's an empty plan."

After all, he also raised his whip, and the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The two Highnesses are gone, what are you doing in a daze, follow up!" Shouning reacted and shouted in a sharp voice.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the gate of the city, Xuanyuan Hui stood on his horse, and the other horsemen stood a few steps away from him, and there was a dead silence inside and outside the city.

"There's no one answering the door." Seeing Zhao Xu coming, Suan Ni hurriedly asked for help.

Xuanyuan Hui looked up at the city gate with his back straight.

Zhao Xu followed his gaze and saw the word "Suzhou" in gilt official script on the black background plaque.

"Nineteenth Lang, it's unexpected that King Su can't enter Suzhou at all... It's a big joke." Xuanyuan Hui didn't turn his head, and there were waves in his hoarse voice.

Zhao Xu suppressed the anger in his heart, forced a smile and said, "Maybe they were negligent for a while."

The new wind is bitter, but people's hearts are even colder.

Zhao Xu drove forward and stood beside him, looking at the majestic city gate together, "What is your lord going to do?"

When he left Chang'an, even though he had suffered a lot in the deep palace, Xuanyuan Hui was still a pampered and occasionally arrogant prince, but after running around for several months, his face had already shown some bitterness.

"What should I do..." Xuanyuan Hui laughed out loud, "What do you think I should do, go back to Chang'an crying, and beg Father to make the decision for me?"

His eyes were full of hatred, even with a bit of hostility, which was a bit scary.

Zhao Xu was most afraid of him like this, grabbed his hand and said in a low voice, "My lord, calm down."

Xuanyuan Hui shook off his hand, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly: "Are they sure that this king will not dare to attack the city?"

Regardless of the rough leather whip in his hand, Zhao Xu grabbed his hand firmly, and said coldly: "Just rely on the hundred and ten people accompanying us? What's more, they are also imperial officials who came from the imperial examination and were selected by the official department. Zong Shenwu, relying on these soldiers to attack Suzhou City, what can the prince do? Exterminate them all?" Xuanyuan Hui turned to look at him, his eyes were already darker than those of the Han people.

"Arbitrarily using troops without reporting to the Ministry of War, murdering the court officials, which one is not outright treason?" Xu was very angry, Xuanyuan Hui's hand was surprisingly cold, and the veins were protruding, Zhao Xu held his hand hesitantly, Caress lightly.

Xuanyuan Hui closed his eyes, and although he was still gasping for breath, his mood seemed to have calmed down a bit, "But if I do nothing, how will the people of Suzhou think of me, how will the people who follow me think of me, what will Father Jun think of me?" How will the world see me, how will the world see me!?"

Zhao Xu was speechless for a while, looked at the city gate silently for a while, and said slowly: "I have a plan, would you like to hear it, my lord?"
