[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

After not being able to chat for a few words, Jing Wang Yangzi got up and said goodbye.

Everyone is not acquainted, especially with this status, so they are naturally more prepared than others, and they will not be able to talk so quickly. Zhaoyang is not in a hurry, and politely keeps a few words: "Yangzi, you are in such a hurry Why don't you stay overnight?"

Yangzi smiled helplessly: "This time I also made time to come, and I was told by someone to go back and forth on the same day."

"That's a pity. I don't know when we will meet next time." It is estimated that King Jing will have to wait for ten years to cross this mountain.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing also stood up: "I won't stay any longer. I came here this time mainly to see how you are doing. Now that I have seen you, I will go back first."

Yang Zi and Lu Qing walked out of the door one after the other. As Yang Zi's friend, Shang Long naturally wanted to see her off, but after walking a few steps, Zhao Yang, who was standing still, grabbed her by the cuff. Turning his head, he felt a piece of softness sticking to himself.

Taking advantage of Yang Zi and Lu Qing's inattention, Zhaoyang tiptoed and kissed Shang Long's mouth, and left as soon as he touched it, then acted as if nothing had happened, and quickly caught up with Yang Zi and Lu Qing .

Shang Long smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to wipe off the lipstick on the corner of his mouth, this little girl, she didn't expect it.

Sitting on the jade seat, Zhaoyang listened to Officer Chun presiding over the meeting, all of which were compliments and polite words, babbling around her ears like chanting sutras, which made her doze off.Presumably she didn't have much image in front of the officials, so she simply covered her mouth and yawned.

Last night, after all, she couldn't hold back the urge to get close to him, and secretly ran to Shang Long's room.We chatted until the third watch before returning to bed.If you can't show your love openly during the day, you naturally have to hug her at night and don't let go. Shang Long laughed at her and said, "I haven't seen you for two months, and I get up as a little girl."

She hummed and replied: "Then you are wrong. I am not acting like a baby, but eating your tofu again. If it wasn't for the morning morning tomorrow, I would have done it for you now."

Shang Long laughed lightly: "I can't ask for it"

Although it was a bit willful to go to see him, and her every move was monitored in this Fenhua Palace full of eyeliners, but it was not without gain.

Zhaoyang's eyes turned to Changyi who was kneeling at the front, and he sighed in his heart, she was going to do something to be sorry to her teacher Yingli again.

She didn't tell anyone about her relationship with Shang Long for her own reasons. After all, it was an affair, and the court situation was not stable yet. She didn't want to provoke criticism and trouble herself.Furthermore, this is also a bait, which is to be used for a long time to catch big fish.

On the side of Xuanying Palace, she can rest assured that Shang Long will never reveal any information about her.Originally, there were not many people who knew her, and no one would go to Xuanying Palace to inquire about her news. After all, Xuanying Palace didn't come just by saying.Once it was discovered that he was secretly inquiring about the king's news, it would be anything but malicious.Zhaoyang believed that those people would not take this risk.

After wandering for a long time, Chief Chun finally talked about the Kyushu Prefecture Hou Jin.

Zhaoyang's eyes lit up, and he finally cheered up. Kyushu removed Shuozhou controlled by Liu Qi, and there were still eight states. They were appointed by Wang and belonged directly to Wang.It seems so on the surface, but in fact it is still restrained by the officials of the inner court.Even the sitting position is behind the officials of the inner court, so that she has not even seen the appearance of the princes of the state until now.This is also the only time that the princes of the state need to meet the king in person.After that, unless there is something particularly important, the state marquis will not leave their territory easily.

State marquises would bring gifts to congratulate the king when they met the king, but some people also used this to show Wang Zhang that he was good at governing the state. Over time, this became a customary thing, and presenting gifts was basically equivalent to paying tribute.

Every time Chunguan Zhang Yueqin reported to a state, someone would come forward to bow to her, and at the same time, someone would carry the tribute up.Zhaoyang just smiled and nodded, until Yingli stepped forward, she said, "Marquis Junzhou, how are you doing these days?"

"Very good" Yingli raised her head slightly and replied.

Zhaoyang didn't say anything, raised his hand and let Yingli back down, and signaled Chunguan Zhang Yueqin to continue.

"Qingzhou Governor, Fan Mu has an audience"

As the voice fell, a burly and domineering man came out from the kneeling people.After performing the salute, he said in a low and forceful voice: "Chen Fan Mu kowtowed to the lord, and wished the lord a long and healthy life." After finishing speaking, the servants pulled up the tribute. There were three full carts, all of which were filled with brocade. with jewelry.

Compared with those from the previous few states, they were much more valuable, so Zhaoyang couldn't help but take a second look, thinking, this Marquis of Qingzhou is really rich.

However, Zhaoyang's two eyes fell on Fan Mu's eyes, but it changed. He smiled mockingly in his heart. The news he inquired was indeed correct. This idle Liu Wang loved jewelry very much.

"The Marquis of Qingzhou came all the way, thank you for your hard work." Zhaoyang smiled brightly, and the sheep to be slaughtered finally arrived.

After the court was over, Zhaoyang took Liu Qi to find Shang Long, King Yan was a guest, so there was no reason not to accompany the guest.

While walking around the Fenhua Palace, they talked about some things, and the two of them were polite, and Zhaoyang felt that he was about to get internal injuries from holding back his laughter.

Shang Long glanced at Zhong Zai who was standing not far away, remembered his request last night, coughed twice and said: "I heard that Liu Wang followed our country and changed the court ceremony to every three days, I didn't mean to say that Not good, but I think you should be diligent in politics, King Liu, in the early days of ruling the country..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhaoyang interrupted unceremoniously: "King Yan, you seem to have forgotten that I am no longer a minor official of Xuanying Palace." She sneered, her tone unhappy, "Here is Fenhua Palace, what should I do, it's not up to King Yan to teach me!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Liu Tai and Liu Qi couldn't figure out the situation. They only knew that the two of them suddenly broke their faces while chatting.Liu Qi stepped forward to persuade him to say something, but was scolded by Zhaoyang: "Liu Qi, you should find out who your master is!"

After training Liu Qi, Zhaoyang gave Shang Long another order to chase away the guests: "King Yan, go slowly, don't see him off!" Then he left without looking back.

With a dark face, Shang Long dragged Liu Tai, who was still in a state of confusion, out. Seeing this, Chang Yi hurried over: "King Yan, please stay."

"You, Zukazai, saw it yourself. I tried to persuade him, but I was ridiculed. Forgive me for being helpless, so I bid farewell and wish your country well." Without waiting for Chang Yi to say anything, Shang Long left after leaving such a sentence.

Changyi stood where he was, looked at the back of King Yan leaving, and sighed, maybe he shouldn't have expectations, hoping that King Yan's persuasion would make King Liu change his ways.

Liu Tai riding on the emissary was full of questions and worries, but no matter what he asked, Shang Long just kept his face sullen and didn't speak.Just when Liu Tai gave up asking, Shang Long laughed.

Only then did Mrs. Liu realize that she was deceived by Shang Long and Zhao Yang: "Okay, so you two have colluded, and I'm worrying for nothing!"

"Before I had time to tell you, Zhaoyang came over, so I had no choice but to lie to you," Shang Long explained.

The implication is who told you to sleep late.

Liutai was at a loss for words, so he could only mutter: "Zhaoyang learned from you badly."

"I didn't teach her that." Shang Long stroked his chin, recalling the first time he saw Zhaoyang.When she lied to them that she was from Yan Country, she knew that her eyes would betray her, so she naturally lowered her head for an excuse.But it was because of this that he and Li Guang saw through it at a glance.

After she fell asleep, Li Guang still smiled and said, "Smart little girl, but she's not ready yet."

The highest level of deception is to look someone in the eye and speak a lie calmly.

I don't know when Zhaoyang learned it. Just now she watched him say those words unabashedly. If it hadn't been discussed in advance, he would have almost taken it seriously.

"She has been with you for almost two years. She has seen a lot of the world, so she will learn it naturally." The sixth wife paused, and then asked, "Did Zhaoyang come to see you last night?"

Shang Long said "En": "She came in through the window, but not long after she came, Liu Guozhong Zai came to the door and asked me to advise Zhaoyang. After discussing with me, Zhaoyang came out just now." Seeing that Liu Tai was still puzzled, Shang Long continued to explain, "If it was just the rebellion of the state marquis, Zhaoyang didn't need to do so much at all, just hit him directly. With me here, what is she afraid of."

"Because the enemy is invisible, she had to find a way to lure that person out. He wanted to kill Zhaoyang, but Zhaoyang blocked her way, so he was given a chance to kill Zhaoyang. Because he knew that once Zhaoyang stood The more stable heels are, the harder it will be for him to bring down Zhaoyang. And for Zhaoyang, the longer the time drags on, the harder it will be for her to pull him out."

"This contest is nothing more than whether he strikes first or Zhaoyang finds him first."

"It may not be successful," Mrs. Liu said.

Shang Long knew that the sixth wife was talking about the play they performed: "Indeed, it is good for someone to take the bait." He recalled what Zhaoyang said, and continued meaningfully, "But it may not be a bad thing if there is no one. "

Having fallen out with King Yan in front of so many people, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, and the matter soon spread to some people's ears.

Fan Mu told his subordinates: "Go and send another cart of tribute to the king, just say it's a little of my heart."

At the same time, on the other side, someone was drinking tea slowly, and seemed not interested in the news: "I see, Zhu Zhang, you go down first."

After Zhu Zhang left, he slowly put down the teacup, "This is interesting." As soon as he finished speaking, he swept the teacup to the ground, only to hear a "pop", and the teacup broke into several pieces.

Zhaoyang, you really gave me a problem.

When Fan Mu's gift arrived, it was already noon, Zhaoyang was about to take a nap, Qinglu walked in quickly, and whispered in her ear: "The Marquis of Qingzhou sent you something privately."

Zhaoyang glanced at Qinglu, and said lightly: "Oh, yes, then accept it, thank Qingzhou Hou for me, and ask him if he is interested in coming to the government to serve."
