The Fourth Prince led the army, General He Ren was the vanguard, and Prince Bing of Yue had led troops to help. As soon as the news spread, all the vassal states immediately expressed their willingness to send troops to fight, and the Shang Dynasty's military strength increased greatly.
After the army arrived at the border and started the war, they were unstoppable. Soon, they chased the barbarians out of the Shang Dynasty and signed an agreement with the barbarians: Never invade the Shang Dynasty, pay tribute and pay taxes every year.
After returning to the capital, Zi Mu was rewarded by the king. As a result, he became even more arrogant.
He had brazenly roped in the officials of the court, invited them to banquets, given them money and goods, and even beautiful women. He had used everything.
Everyone thought that the fight between the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince would soon become clear. However, what was surprising was that not only did the Crown Prince Palace not make any movements, it became quieter and quieter.
The master of the Crown Prince Palace rarely left the Crown Prince Palace apart from attending the court meeting every day to pay his respects to the King and Queen.
Inside and outside the Imperial Court, everyone was discussing: The Crown Prince might have to appoint someone else.
Zi Zhao had no reaction to these rumors, just like an outsider.
Every day, when he had nothing to do, he would drink tea and practice his sword. His days were leisurely and comfortable.
He was happy, but his good friend He Lian was worried sick. He had to make countless trips to the Crown Prince Palace every day, wishing he could grow up in the Crown Prince Palace and never come out.
No matter how much He Lian nagged, the high and mighty Crown Prince only smiled and did not say anything else!
"My Crown Prince, why aren't you anxious? Do you only have a reaction when they come knocking on your door? Haven't you heard the rumors outside?"
He Lian was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the hall.
"Brother Helian, you're making me dizzy. Sit down!”
Zi Zhao sat on the chair and spoke while drinking tea, as natural as chatting about family matters.
"Sit down? Can I sit still? Did you hear what I said just now?”His voice was two degrees higher than before…
"You already said it was a rumor. Since it's a rumor, it means it's not true.”
" You... you... you..." He Lian couldn't say a word after a long time... Her eyes were wide open like copper bells…
"Alright, alright. Don't worry, I know what to do!”
He Lian glared at him and sat down on the chair.
She turned around and was speechless…
"You still don't believe me!" Zizhao regretted it. Why did she anger him for no reason? She had to coax him like he was a child!
He didn't move, he was still speechless…
"Don't be angry. I know what I'm doing. There are some things that I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry. "However, you really have to be careful. He knows that we're good friends and won't be stupid enough to rope you in. Therefore, I'm worried that he'll make a move on you!”
He had no choice. He had a stubborn temper and couldn't be coaxed, so he could only change the topic. However, what Zi Zhao said was true!
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of him!" He was finally willing to talk!
Zi Zhao shook his head and sighed helplessly." You're not afraid, but I am!”
"…Okay, I got it."
A straightforward person like He Lian wouldn't say anything nice, but Zi Zhao could understand his feelings at a glance.
"Also, are your deputies reliable?”
"Absolutely reliable. They are my brothers who have gone through life and death. There won't be any problems!”
"If you're really fine, I'll be leaving the city in a few days.”
"Leave the city? What are you doing?" Usually, besides being interested in martial arts and the battlefield, He Lian was also very concerned about him. He did not ask about anything else. Why would he suddenly want to leave the city?
"I want to go to Yue Country. My brother is in Yue Country. I want to see him!”
Zi Zhao was even more shocked." Your brother? Why haven't I heard that you have a younger brother?”They had grown up together, and she knew how many scars he had on his body. How could she not know that there was such a person!
He Lian chuckled." It's my half-brother. Father told me about it before he died. I found him not long ago, but he didn't want to come back with me…"
He Lian, who was not afraid of anything, felt goosebumps when he thought of that icy face…
"Yue Country! Why don't we go together?"
He had promised to visit her, but the court was not stable. He had not been able to fulfill his promise for almost half a year. He did not know how she was doing now, but he missed her as much as she missed her…
Thinking of the time when flowers flew all over the sky and fallen petals were in full bloom,
A smile spread across his lips.
I miss you
Good, did you hear that?
