After Liu Yu personally burned incense and prayed in the Jizhou Cauldron, he felt that there was something in the eyes of the young Daoist nun beside him. It was clearly a sense of submission.
A soft sound came from behind him. He turned around and saw Zhang Ning leaning against the door frame, looking at him with a complicated gaze. There was less resentment in his eyes, and there was something inexplicable.
"Is this the effect of the nine cauldrons?"
Liu Yu was deep in thought.
Then, he ordered the young female Daoist nuns,"This cauldron is the foundation of the prosperity of the Zhong Shan Kingdom, and it is also something that I treasure. From now on, you must burn incense every day. You must not profane it, and you must not let anyone take it away!”
The girls immediately agreed.
"It's already late. Daoist nuns, rest early…If you can't sleep, why don't I stay and accompany you?”
Liu Yu looked at the girls with a drooling gaze, scaring them into running back. Zhang Ning blushed and slammed the door shut.
"Daoist nun, can this king send your clothes and shoes in?”
"I don't want it anymore! I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"
Hearing Zhang Ning's angry voice, Liu Yu left proudly.
……
Early in the morning, Chong Lin asked to see him.
"Your Majesty, a group of people came outside the city last night. They waited for the whole night and kept clamoring to see Your Majesty.”
"Call them in!" Liu Yu waved his hand.”
Chong Lin then went out to bring him in and stood cautiously beside Liu Yu, afraid that Liu Yu would be in danger.
The leader was none other than Luo Cheng. Looking at his attributes, Liu Yu couldn't help but nod slightly.
[General: Luo Cheng]
[Identity: General of Liu Yu, King of the Middle Mountain]
Commander: 79
[Strength: 99]
[Intelligence: 75]
Political Affairs: 72
"As expected of a good general who can defeat Yuchi Gong. His martial strength is 99 points, only 3 points weaker than Xue Rengui! His intelligence was also average, barely passable. He just doesn't have talent…This King still has two Golden Cores left. Should I give him one?”
Thinking of sending someone to Luoyang to save Liu Bian when he was in trouble, Liu Yu had the intention to let Luo Cheng go.
However, considering that Luo Cheng's intelligence was still a little low, Liu Yu hesitated.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Luo Cheng came over and cupped his fists. His expression was respectful, and he did not have the arrogance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties at all.
"Get up. I'll give you the position of a lieutenant and temporarily stay in the capital. This king might need you to do something.”
"I accept your orders!"
Luo Cheng then automatically retreated to the side. Liu Yu's gaze fell on the dozen people behind him.
[Soldier: Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun]
[Identity: The personal guard of Liu Yu, King of the Middle Mountain]
[Commander: 60]
[Strength: 85]
[Intelligence: 60]
Political Affairs: 60
Liu Yu was overjoyed. 85 points of martial strength is enough to be a vanguard general in the army, but he became this king's personal guard! With such a personal guard, there was no need to worry about danger in the future.”
These eighteen people were all eight feet tall, with big arms and round waists, bulging muscles, cold expressions, and firm gazes. One look and one could tell that they were good bodyguards.
"The few of you will live in the palace from now on. At the same time, you will listen to Lin Chong and be in charge of guarding the palace!”
Liu Yu made some arrangements, and the eighteen people immediately responded with a loud bang.
Chong Lin could tell that these eighteen people were not ordinary characters, and he was happy to hear that they were under his command.
……
In Zhending County, Changshan Country, there were many people standing in the Zhao Family ancestral grave. One of the young men stabbed his silver spear into the ground and knelt in front of a tombstone.
"Father, Mother! I'm here to see you!"
The man burned some money in front of the grave and poured wine on it. He kowtowed three times and then leaned against the tombstone. His eyes were filled with deep nostalgia and sadness.
After four hours, the surrounding people came up one after another to persuade him.
"Zilong, my condolences!"
"Zilong, if your parents knew about this, they wouldn't want to see you like this.”
"Zilong, pull yourself together. In the future, the Zhao family will still rely on you to support them!”
This man was Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, who had come down the mountain to worship the ancestors.
The people around him were all relatives of the Zhao family and Zhao Yun's elders. They were all in their seventies or eighties and hoped that he could revive the family business.
"Ever since my father died, I've cut off all contact with my old friends for many years." Now, it was difficult to be filial and honest, let alone become an official. Zilong can't hold up the Zhao family!"
However, the surrounding elders all revealed faint and confident smiles.
"Zilong, you're wrong," one of them said. You haven't returned for a few years, and now you just happened to come back to worship your ancestors. I have to say, this is heaven's will! The heavens want our Zhao family to prosper!"
"What do you mean, uncle?" Zhao Yun asked, puzzled.”
"You don't know, but the King of the Mountain next door came over a few days ago and specifically instructed us to tell you when you returned that he invited you to go to Wuji County to meet him! In the entire world, which vassal king had the means of the King of Zhong Shan? Previously, when the rebel army was everywhere, the King of Zhong Shan single-handedly wiped out the rebels in Jizhou. Our Zhending County was the closest to Wuji, and thus, we benefited the most! Now that the King of Zhong Shan has responded to the call of the Great General to send troops to destroy the Ten Attendants of the Eternal, if you join him, you will definitely be able to get an official position!”
"The King of Zhong Shan personally invited me to be an official?" Zhao Yun was surprised. Uncles, are you joking with Zilong? Why would the King of Zhong Shan come here to look for me? Besides, with his status, how could he have heard of me?”
One of the old men laughed,"It's the truth. We didn't make it up." As for why he personally came to find you, perhaps it has something to do with your master?”
"Master?" Zhao Yun raised her eyebrows." Master, could it be that you are friends with this King of Zhong Shan? Fine, I'll go to Wuji County. If it's true, it's a blessing. If it's fake, I'll just come back.”
As such, Zhao Yun immediately set off, speeding along the way. In less than a day, they arrived at Wuji County.
"I didn't expect that this King of Zhong Shan would build such a large imperial city! This person is indeed bold!"
After entering the city, seeing that the city was extremely clean and tidy, with signs of prosperity, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be in a good mood and had the idea of staying here.
After reporting to the prince's mansion, a young man wearing a royal robe and a crown walked out not long after.
"Are you the King of Zhong Shan?" Zhao Yun was stunned.”
Liu Yu laughed loudly,"It's true!" Zilong, I really didn't expect you to come! Let's go, this king will welcome you today!"
Liu Yu patted Zhao Yun and walked alongside him.
Zhao Yun felt flattered at this moment,[Such a distinguished figure personally went to lecture me and personally came to welcome me today. What kind of virtue and ability do I, Zhao Yun, have to deserve such courtesy?]？
