Dian Xiongzong and Wei Fucheng, one of the Four Fangs of Beiliang in the past, were among them. The rider between the two was a young general who had followed them to Shu.
A white-clothed man was holding a famous spear, plum wine.
The rider beside the white-clothed war saint was His Royal Highness, Zhao Zhu. He cupped his fists and said loudly, "Your Highness, I won't send you off!"
Chen Zhibao only nodded. He squeezed the horse's belly and rode ahead, following the mountain ridge to the north.
Dian Xiongzong and Wei Fucheng followed closely behind. The two smiled and patted the young man's shoulder.
The young general's face was full of tears, but he did not speak from beginning to end.
Zhao Zhu sighed and winked at the young cavalry general. "Che Ye! Why do I feel like I'm a hedonistic son who forcefully snatches a woman? It feels very sinful. "
The young man named Che Ye snorted coldly. Very quickly, he regained his rigid and stiff face. He was indeed worthy of being called the "Little King of Shu" in the Western Shu Sect. He had learned all of Chen Zhibao's teachings.
Zhao Zhu was quite fond of this fellow. He could not help it. Not only was he handsome, but he was also fierce in leading troops into battle. Even his trusted generals, Zhang Dingyuan, Gu Ying, and the others were convinced by him. How could Zhao Zhu not be moved by such a talent? Thus, when Chen Zhibao decided to leave him with Che Ye.
After Che Ye left him, Zhao Zhu almost wanted to set off a few firecrackers to celebrate. Regardless of whether it was at Lazikou on the border between Western Shu Dao's Wushou and Northern Liang's Lingzhou, or following Chen Zhibao in charging and breaking through enemy lines in Guangling Dao, or attacking Lu Shengxiang's army earlier, Che Ye had displayed astonishing talent in troop movement.
He was ruthless and accurate. He had a talent that could only be explained by intuition. Thus, Zhao Zhu often joked, "Che Ye, if you are willing to betray the Prince of Shu, I will let you be the number one general under my command for a hundred years!"
Che Ye stayed behind. Following His Royal Highness, Crane Province's General Liang Yue and Yuanzhou's General Ye Xiufeng, both of whom felt very gratified.
Zhao Zhu turned his head to look at the tall and handsome young woman. He chuckled and said, "Gao Xia, I told you, I will definitely take you into Great Peace City. When the time comes, don't forget that vow?"
Zhang Gaoxia, whose ears were red, said expressionlessly, "Wait until you enter Great Peace City!"
Zhang Gaoxia was the daughter of Grand Secretary Zhang Julu, who had fled after his death.
The two Martial Dao Grandmasters who had stayed by Zhao Zhu's side after leaving Martial Emperor City, Gong Banque and the female Fist Grandmaster Lin Ya, smiled at each other.
After interacting for a long time, the two of them were very satisfied with this King of Yan Chi His Royal Highness. He was both a hero and an ambitious person.
To put it simply, he was a wise ruler!
If a scholar does not tire of learning, he can become a saint. If a wise ruler does not tire of people, he can become powerful!
Zhao Zhu glanced at the silent rider out of the corner of his eye. Compared to Liang Yue, Lin Ya and the others who were approaching in twos and threes, this person seemed very out of place.
His surname was Jiang.
However, Mister Nalan's words revealed the truth. This person of the jianghu called Jiang Fuding was actually the illegitimate son of Li Yang Di Shi Yuan Benxi.
Zhao Zhu only knew that the Fist Grandmaster Lin Ya and he were old acquaintances. Even a blind person could see that the proud female grandmaster had a strange feeling when compared to Jiang Fuding who was ten years younger than her. However, for some reason, the two of them were clearly in love with each other but were not willing to break through that layer of paper.
Even Zhao Zhu felt anxious for them. Several times, he spoke up for them but did not have a good ending. Once, he was "gently" punched in the face by Lin Ya who flew into a rage out of humiliation. Then, his face was bruised and swollen for half a year. At that time, as long as he, Zhao Zhu, appeared in the military, there would be a military general who knew him well.
"Who would have thought that the situation would be so tragic. His Royal Highness is fighting so hard on the frontlines!" "I only hate that I can't share His Royal Highness' burdens. I can't make a name for myself on the battlefield. I can't escape the death penalty!" Every time he was teased by those boorish men, the young His Royal Highness would laugh and pull him along.
Among them, the handsome general, Gu Ying, only had a young son and no daughter. Logically speaking, he should be able to escape this calamity. Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince earnestly said, "With Father-In-Law Gu's appearance and bearing, I, Zhao Zhu, will bear with it for a while. Wait for a while.
It's not impossible for that child to be four or five years old! "His Royal Highness, whose bruises were almost healed, was punched again.
Gu Ying, Zhang Dingyuan, and Liang Yue, Ye Xiufeng, who followed Zhao Zhu here, and even Tang He, Li Chunyu, who used to be Wu Zhongxuan's subordinates, as long as they were generals of Nanjiang, they all admired His Royal Highness Zhao Zhu very much.
Nalan Youci once had a conclusion about this young man. "The winter is warm but not scorching. Who wouldn't like it?"
Therefore, although Zhao Zhu was the legitimate son of King Yan Chi, Zhao Bing, he was not the eldest son. However, when Nanjiang was conferred the title of Crown Prince, Zhao Bing did not choose his elder brother, nor was he the youngest son who was most doted on by the princess.
Zhao Zhu sighed softly in his heart.
He actually had a grudge against Jiang Fuding.
Because no matter if it was in the jianghu or the court, this person had a deep grudge against that person.
But after Jiang Fuding had arrived, Mr. Nalan had jokingly said to Zhao Zhu in private, "How high His Royal Highness' position can be in the future, and how high Jiang Fuding's position is under your command can be determined by a single leaf. Why don't you consider it yourself?"
In the end, Nalan Youci asked straightforwardly, "In the future, if you face the south in Great Peace City, can you tolerate Yuan Tingshan, Jin Lanting, and the like to rise under your eyes?"
At the time, Zhao Zhu did not give an answer. It was unknown whether he was unwilling or unable.
Maybe he was afraid he would disappoint Mr. Nalan.
But maybe he was more afraid he would disappoint himself.
Zhao Zhu sat silently on the back of the horse and looked towards the northwest.
It was not just because the three grandmasters of Nanjiang, Cheng Baishuang, Mao Shulang, and Ji Liu 'an, had all stood in the same place that year.
There had once been a person of the same age who would call him a little beggar.
On the top of the mountain, Lin Ya and Gong Banque also looked into the distance.
Their sect brothers, Yu Groom and Lou Huang, were there. While Eldest Shixiong Groom was still alive, Lou Huang had died in the great battle at North Jiebei City.
Jiang Fuding was the same. His best friend, the late Emperor Zhao Dun's illegitimate son, Zhao Kai, had died at the hands of that young vassal king. His father, on the other hand, had spent most of his life opposing that vassal king's father. The grudges between the two generations had yet to be resolved cleanly!
Che Ye was not an exception. He was born in Beimang, but he had once fought alongside that white-clothed war saint as one of the three hundred thousand Beiliang cavalry outside the pass.
Liang Yue and Ye Xiufeng also looked in that direction. As generals, how could they not yearn for that kind of soul-stirring battlefield!
For thousands of years, the cavalry battle outside the northwest pass was unique!
Zhao Zhu slowly retracted his gaze and turned to ask in a loud voice, "Mr. Jiang, the letter from Gumu Xu shi has almost reached Xu Gong's hands, right?"
Jiang Fuding nodded.
Zhao Zhu suddenly flipped off his horse. Under everyone's gaze, he squatted down and pulled out a nameless grass that was half yellow and half green. As he chewed, he laughed, "If the emperor wants the subject to die, the subject is disloyal. If the father wants the son dead, the son is unfilial. Now it's up to this Jiedushi to see if loyalty comes first or filial piety comes first. "
Then Zhao Zhu bared his teeth and said, "Yang Huchen and Han Fang, these two generals of Ji Zhou, are too shameless. They directly put Ma Zhongxian and Wen Taiyi, who treated them with respect, under house arrest. They seized the military power of Jingan Road and occupied the central plains in one go. This is a bit of a headache. If there's a chance, I must find them for a drink.
Arm in arm, Yan Huan! "
Zhao Zhu liked to make friends with people he was familiar with. Those he was more familiar with, he would even put his arm around their shoulders. He never cared about their status.
Zhao Zhu raised his head and smiled at everyone. "Wait for me at the foot of the mountain. It'll take at most an hour."
In the end, only Zhang Gaoxia stayed. The others rode down the mountain.
Zhang Gaoxia stood beside the squatting young Crown Prince and said gently, "Are you afraid that you'll fall out with his brother in the future?"
Zhao Zhu curled his lips. "That guy is such a magnanimous person. He won't haggle over every little thing with me, right? "
Perhaps he was asking himself, or perhaps he was asking Zhang Gaoxia, whom he had a crush on, or perhaps he was asking that person across thousands of mountains and rivers.
Zhao Zhu simply sat cross-legged and raised his head. He said softly, "If you're really angry, just hit me twice. I promise I won't fight back! Haha, but I'm a little beggar. When the time comes, I'll be an emperor. Us brothers can just fight in private. "
Zhang Gaoxia lowered her head and looked. It was hard to imagine that such a tenacious young man would reveal such a weak attitude.
At this moment, she seemed to truly understand this man called Zhao Zhu.
She squatted down and gently wiped away his tears. She had never known how to comfort others, so she could only say, "I'll always be by your side in the future."
The young man grunted in agreement.
