Chapter 228: On the Peacock Stage

The sun is rising in the east, and the carriage carrying King Zhao Chu Jiangmian finally arrived at the King of Canghai City.

The curtains of the carriage were curled up high, and the man in white clothes sat in the carriage, poked his head out to look forward. The tall and wide city walls, the wet arrow tower, and the oncoming aura was as thick as this eastern land.

He has been famous for a long time. However, only when he sees this city with his own eyes can it fit into his imagination. Sure enough, this place is very different from Longcheng.

"Why don't you wake me up? Ah! Have you arrived... That, I'm going to ride a horse."

Hearing the low cry of surprise behind her, Chu Jiangmian turned around. The woman who woke up at some time had a blush on her face. She was sweeping up a few strands of her hanging hair in a panic, then tied her cloak and was about to leap down.

"Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, why are you embarrassed to wake up? You will be in the city immediately. Why are you going down to do?"

Chu Jiangmian smiled in his heart. When he set out from Linzi City, those people had already prepared several carriages. In addition to him and Lanlingjun, Princess Wuyou naturally had one. However, she flatly refused. She had just charged forward on the battlefield and killed the generals of the Pojun. She was so frustrated to sit in the carriage!

No one dared to go against the princess' wishes. Therefore, she was accompanying the cavalry team during these hundreds of miles, no different from those soldiers.

His Royal Highness, who was able to kill the enemy in person, whether it was the cavalry of Zhao or the Qi army that followed him, they were respectful and polite. No matter what, not many people were able to kill the enemy on the battlefield of thousands of troops as a woman. What's more, her identity was still so noble.

Along the way, everyone took care of her carefully, for fear of making a mistake. At the beginning, Princess Wuyou was still very happy and rode on the horse and watched everywhere, and found that everything was fresh. But after a day, she felt a little tired. After a day, she really didn't want to ride a horse again. After all, she had never suffered such hardships in the past.

So, when Chu Jiangmian lifted the curtain again and asked her if she needed to rest in the carriage, Princess Wuyou flew off the horse without hesitation and jumped onto the carriage. She was not an ordinary secular woman, and the so-called rules that men and women taught and treated not to be close to each other were never taken to her heart.

However, Princess Wuyou, who had only wanted to come up and take a break, fell asleep unknowingly. This time she arrived outside Canghai City.

"You... asked knowingly! I won't tell you anymore, let's go!"

Princess Wuyou glanced at him, but seemed to be furious and full of charm. She lifted her sword and put down the cloak she was holding in her hand with some reluctance. This was his, with his breath and warmth, and he was wearing it for her, afraid that she would catch a cold after she fell asleep, so she would wear it all the way.

Chu Jiangmian didn't say anything more. He smiled and nodded, watching her back disappear. Of course he understood that even this woman who could go on battle to kill the enemy was not so generous that she could ignore the world's eyes. If the people of Qi saw His Royal Highness, the princess, and he entered the city in a carriage, they would probably feel that it would be difficult to accept.

In fact, if Chu Jiangmian could know the thoughts of most Qi people in advance, I believe he would not think so. Not to mention that Princess Wuyou and King Zhao were riding in a carriage, even if they got married immediately, it would be no big deal. This is the common wish of most people!

The team from Linzi City carried the eyes of countless people. In addition to the people of Qi, there were also rich tourists from all over the world, merchants transported to all directions, and people of various identities. Although their thoughts were different, they were all on the streets of Canghai King City, staring at the people being greeted.

The carriage that was moving forward ran across the wide street and, under the escort of Qi soldiers, came to the Peacock Platform. The square was surrounded by crowds and the grand occasion was unprecedented. Everyone wanted to witness the charm of the young King Zhao with their own eyes.

On the steps of the Peacock Platform, King Tian Jiang of Qi finally cheered up. He looked over curiously. He thought that when he was visiting the emperor in Luocheng, Zhongzhou, he had met with King Zhao Chulie. Although the two sides did not have a deep relationship, he had a very deep impression of the hero.

But he didn't expect that after so many years, Chu Lie had passed away. His son became famous and chased his father. Now even Qi has endured such great kindness from him, but he doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a disaster in the future?!

People in the world only know that King Qi is stupid and addicted to wine and sex. But occasionally when he is clear-minded, his eyes can see very clearly. Standing at the height of a king, he actually does not hope to rely too much on Zhao State. There is never a good intention in the world for no reason, and there will be no filling in the sky! If he is ten years younger, he will definitely be vigilant about the help of the people of Zhao State. But now, he no longer has that kind of mind. Because only he himself knows his physical condition best. I have illnesses, and the illness is in my heart. A few years ago, King Qi had secretly sent someone to invite the most famous doctor to treat it, but there was no good effect. If there was no time, he only hoped that his life would be consumed between wine and sex, and he was unwilling to deal with these trivial matters in the world.

It is precisely because of this reason that he gradually dispersed the power in his hands to various factions of the Wang Ting. Whoever can take the initiative depends on his ability. Now it seems that the faction of the Prime Minister and the Generals who secretly supported several young masters was clearly at a disadvantage. The power of the Queen and Lanlingjun has become increasingly important because it has recently been supported by a large number of wealthy nobles. The King of Qi looked at it coldly and naturally knew it.

Since he had even stood by and watched these major events, he didn't want to worry too much about the others. The reason why he personally posed for Chu Jiangmian was purely driven by curiosity, and wanted to see with his own eyes how outstanding Chu Lie's son was. As for the matter of Princess Wuyou that the queen had told him, it was just a trivial matter.

However, at this moment, he heard words and small screams not far away. He glanced over and saw his daughter in military uniform. He was quietly bypassed by the queen. She was held in her arms and looked at her in surprise and joy. As if she noticed the eyes of her father, Princess Wuyou quickly saluted and called him softly. King Qi nodded, and then ignored them. "Wuyou, you are so worried about me! You will never allow you to go to the battlefield easily in the future... Let me see where is it hurt?"

The queen suddenly saw her daughter appear in front of her. She was surprised and could not care about anything else. She hugged her tightly, with tears in her eyes, as if she was still the child who had never grown up.

"Mother! I have said it's okay. Haven't you received the peace I sent? The war is so fun... Haha! I killed an enemy general with my own hands!"

While comforting, Princess Wuyou couldn't help showing off happily. The maids and eunuchs in the palace around her looked at her with envy and admiration, and she was happy for the queen.

"You still say! How dangerous is that? It's the soldiers' business to fight in battle. You need your daughter's family to show off. If it weren't for King Zhao's help, how could you succeed so easily? In the future, you will never allow you to do so arbitrary."

"Hehe... Then we won a great victory! Anyway, there is a contribution from me. What reward will my mother give me?"

"My mother will give you whatever my Wuyou wants! Everything I do, besides these ordinary people, is for you... Then, tell me the truth, in your eyes, how is King Zhao?"

"Mother's Queen..."

Princess Wuyou suddenly became shy. Seeing the smiling expression on the queen's face, she realized what her mission was to go to Zhao State. But how could she answer such a question!

Queen Wuyan had already understood her heart. No matter how little her daughter thoughts could escape her eyes. No need to ask, she understood everything. At this moment, a slight commotion rang out in the square. When she looked down at the Peacock Platform, the carriage stopped and someone was walking down from above.

The sky is clear and the years are quiet. The osmanthus flowers bloom and the city is fragrant. The young man with a calm expression walked up the steps step by step. As he got closer, the queen finally saw his face clearly.

"King Zhao is indeed a heroic figure... Such a person is worthy of my worry-free! The queen mother is really happy for you. No matter what the price she pays this time, I will definitely help you achieve your wish!"

Hearing the soft whisper in his ear, Princess Wuyou suddenly felt that she wanted to cry. This warm embrace gave her half-life protection. From then on, will she really have to hand herself into the arms of another person?

On the Peacock Platform, music and music began a grand welcome ceremony. The King of Qi and King Zhao met, greeted each other, and completed one by one according to the etiquette they should have. This represents the formal exchange between the two major powers and is absolutely unscrupulous.

The people around them were naturally cheering and the smiles on their faces came from the heart. In recent times, Zhao State has defeated the princes and won continuously. Even the Hu people in the north have suffered great losses in their hands. If Qi State can form allies with it, not to mention the benefits that can be achieved in economic and many other aspects. It is just a strong military support, which is enough to make everyone feel at ease.
