Chapter 37 Return to Los Angeles
The Zhao prince Chu Jiangmian suffered an accident in Zhongyue Mountain and almost died. Soon everyone learned the news. Although it was not clear what the specific situation was, it was enough to be surprising. The unexpected concern of Wang Ji Mo for this incident was not worth making a fuss.
After all, no matter what, Chu Jiangmian represents the State of Zhao. No one dares to underestimate the reputation of King Chu Lie of Zhao. No matter how unbearable his son is in the legend, if he really dies in Zhongyue Mountain, it is conceivable that it will inevitably cause huge uproars. The first thing that is to bear is that the prestige of the Zhou royal family will be further damaged.
If even the princes who came to celebrate the birthday of the emperor could not protect the safety of the princes, then the people of the world would really not take the power of the royal family into consideration. Paper-paste lanterns can be blown out in one breath. What else is there to worry about for those ambitious guys?
It is understandable how Ji Mo, the head of the Zhou royal family, feels now.
As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world. Even if most people don’t know what happened yesterday, there are a few well-informed people who finally know a rough idea through different channels. When they contacted the verbal conflict that had just happened not long ago, many eyes turned to the direction where the Wei people were, the meaning contained there became very profound.
The prince of Wei was indeed extremely arrogant! He wanted to draw his sword to kill people if he didn't speak. Moreover, it was during the activities of congratulating the emperor's birthday party in Zhongzhou. In the eyes of the princes in the world, he became more vigilant towards the people of Wei.
If we count it carefully, the Wei State has participated the most in the wars and conflicts that have occurred in various parts of the world in recent decades. Although some of them were not provoked by them, the King of Wei's ambition to expand hard can't be concealed. In addition, the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei army made people have to be more prepared for them. Especially the princes who were adjacent to it, after hearing that this incident was initiated by the prince of Wei, in addition to being indignant of his bullying behavior, they all hoped that he would be punished for this matter.
Many attention-grabbing eyes were secretly observing the movements of Wang's brother Ji Mo and his guards. If the prince of Zhao, who survived the disaster, could not help but seek Ji Mo's help. The Zhou royal family, which has always relied heavily on the support of Zhao King Chulie, must not be easily refused. At this critical moment, Ji Mo must make a fair judgment, to appease the emotions of the Zhao people, and to safeguard the dignity of the royal family in front of the princes of the world.
A turmoil seemed inevitable. Many princes and princes who might be related to their own interests have quickly weighed the impact of this matter in their hearts so that they could act as soon as possible in the subsequent developments.
However, in fact, nothing happened. After waiting for a long time, a definite news began to spread, causing all those who knew the inside story to feel inexplicable, and even more contempt and contempt.
Chu Jiangmian, who returned to the camp with injuries on his body, explained to Ji Mo himself that he encountered robbers in the mountains yesterday, and those people just wanted to rob property. Fortunately, he escaped quickly under the protection of the guards. Although he suffered some money losses, it was not a big deal. And he did not want to continue to investigate this matter.
The son of King Chulie of Zhao is indeed a useless man, and it is hard to become a great man! It seems that the rumors are true. This guy is just a playboy in Zhao State and leaves his father's protection. He is just a piece of shit that can be trampled on by others! Such a person is not worth paying attention to at all.
When Lanlingjun from Qi heard the attendants report this, he had packed up his things and was about to visit Chu Jiangmian in person. However, after listening with a calm expression, he gave up this idea again. After being silent for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself.
"Did he really let it go? If this prince is such a cowardly person... then I'm really misleading!"
Several Qi entourages looked at each other, but their faces seemed relaxed. Someone came over and persuaded him.
"Master, it may be that we overestimate him. Even if Chu Jiangmian occasionally has something different from ordinary people, he can't get rid of the habit of playing dandy in his heart! He had already planted the root of disaster when he forced himself to speak out and mocked the people of Wei earlier. But he was used to being arrogant and did not take it as one thing. Until he was revenge by the people of Wei, he almost lost his life. Only then did he realize that he was afraid... Now he was looking for reasons to hide it from this matter. In addition to being afraid that the people of Wei will not give up, he also wanted to protect his face. Haha! For such an incompetent person, Master should not date him in the future."
The other Qi entourages also nodded and agreed with this person's analysis. This is exactly the common opinion of all of them. Lanlingjun is good at everything, but sometimes he pays too much attention to friendship. This is his advantage, but at some point it becomes a biggest shortcoming. For the sake of Qi's interests, they have to remind him at any time.
However, Lan Lingjun could not let go of it after all. With his years of view of people, he was very reluctant to believe that he would miss this time. He thought about it, reached out to take out a box of good healing medicine, and handed it to his entourage and ordered it.
"Take this to Prince Jiang Mian. Although it is not convenient for me to visit in person, it is a sign of expressing my feelings."
A close follower took it and turned away. The other few people couldn't understand what he thought after all. When they were about to persuade each other for a few more words, Lan Lingjun waved his hand and signaled that they would understand everything without saying much.
"Master, the King of Qi has officially sent generals to lead troops to fight. Zhao and Qi will be enemies soon... Why should Master do this forever?"
Finally, someone couldn't help but say this again. Lan Lingjun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I did this to leave a way out for Qi? Things are changing and unpredictable. Once the war broke out in the north, although the five-nation coalition forces were sure to win, no matter who dared to guarantee it, there would be no possibility! In any case, the Qi army cannot make any mistakes, otherwise it will be a disaster."
"What the master means... do you have any hope for Chu Jiangmian?"
"The prosperity and decline of a country's fortune, so that the general trend of the world is often destined by heaven. And among them, it is not ruled out that those with great fortune can reverse it... Who can tell the truth about the things in this world!"
Hearing his words, he had such a high evaluation of Chu Jiangmian. The followers of Qi were shocked. They looked at the famous prince of Qi, but listened to his last order.
"It's better to take a look at this matter before you can make a conclusion. Pay attention to Chu Jiangmian's whereabouts...but, don't interfere easily in anything. Remember, remember!"
All the Qi entourage nodded and agreed, and then left. If not unexpected, the Zhongyue Mountain hunting event should end soon. They must pack up everything and protect Lanlingjun back to Luocheng at any time.
The people of Qi were not wrong. Soon after, the royal guards began to convey Ji Mo's instructions everywhere. Due to special reasons, the hunting activities were temporarily over, and the large group of people began to prepare to return to Luocheng.
Although the itinerary was a bit hastily, most people had already expected it. So no one raised any objections, and the camps of the princes were packing up in an orderly manner. It didn't take long to embark on the journey out of the mountain together.
However, no one knew that Wangdi Ji Mo was extremely excited now. He was looking at the white deer cub standing beside Chu Jiangmian with a strange look. After a long time of excitement, he finally couldn't help asking.
"Is this...what you said, the cub left by the dead white deer?"
"Yes. Mr. Mo, the white deer was seriously injured at that time and died soon after. Only this cub was left. We were afraid that he would not survive, so we took it out of the forest."
Chu Jiangmian glanced at the gentle little deer cub. He was thinking about what to say next for a while. Jiang Xueer liked this white and fluffy little thing so much. Even in the blood of yesterday's sword, she was not willing to give up it, and kept holding it in her arms and brought it back. She had already told her brother that they would definitely take it with them when they returned to Zhao State. However, when he saw Ji Mo's expression, Chu Jiangmian understood that it was not that easy to take the deer cub away.
Sure enough, he heard the brother Wang say with infinite emotion: "In legend, the divine beast in Zhongyue Mountain is the white deer. Many years ago, the white deer ran out of the altar of Luocheng... After so many years, only few people have seen its traces. No matter how hard it tried, it never returned to its original home. Alas! Is this God's will?"
Chu Jiangmian listened calmly, but saw his eyes turn, and said again with infinite expectations: "Jiang Mian's virtuous nephew, although the white deer is dead, this deer cub is also a sacred property of the royal family. After we return to Luocheng, we will put it back into the garden of Shejitan. What do you think?"
Chu Jiangmian rubbed his forehead and looked very embarrassed: "Since Mr. Mo said that, of course he had to obey unconditionally. It's just that the white deer cub is still so small, it's very difficult to support him. My little sister has tried her best to take care of him. Is there a suitable person to take care of him now? If anything unexpected happens before returning to the Royal Palace of Luocheng, it would be a pity."
Ji Mo looked at the people who followed him. Most of them were brave warriors from General Zi Dun. As expected, this issue had to be considered.
