That night.
Emperor Wu of Zhou appeared in the house where Zhao Yao climbed over the wall during the day.
The middle-aged man turned a blind eye to the uninvited Emperor Wu of Zhou and continued to read the book in his hand.
Emperor Wu of Zhou also didn't mind middle-aged men being rude to him. He sat opposite the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "How is my little son? Isn't he very cute and lovable, especially when he smiles and shows his dimples?"
Hearing the word "dimples", the middle-aged man was no longer indifferent. He raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Zhou Wu coldly.
"Is this your purpose?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou did not answer the middle-aged man's question, but asked: "My youngest son doesn't look much like me, but he looks a bit like his elder brother. Don't you think so?"
The middle-aged man's face instantly turned cold and angry: "What qualifications do you have to be the master?"
"He is my eldest brother, why can't I mention him?"
"If it wasn't you back then..." The middle-aged man exuded a terrifying aura, as if he was going to eat Emperor Zhou Wu alive the next moment.
Sun Kui, who was standing in the corner, shivered in fear when he saw the middle-aged man's appearance. But Emperor Zhou Wu looked at the middle-aged man who looked like a ferocious beast with a calm expression.
"I wish I was the one who died back then."
"Don't be so hypocritical in front of me." The middle-aged man's eyes were full of hatred.
"I don't have time to pretend in front of you." Emperor Wu of Zhou played with the tea cup in his hand and said with an unclear expression, "Why don't you kill Xiao Shi today? With your hatred for me, you will never let me go. son."
The middle-aged man said nothing.
"Xiao Shi is the only person in the world who is like Big Brother. You are reluctant to kill him."
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu with an increasingly sinister look.
Emperor Zhou Wu leaned back on his chair and said, "Xiao Shi's temperament is somewhat similar to that of his elder brother. Like his elder brother, he likes to eat sweets and beef, and likes to hide his favorite things..."
The middle-aged man had a cold expression on his face, but he listened carefully to what Emperor Zhou Wu said about Zhao Yao.
When Emperor Zhou Wu talked about Zhao Yao, he always had a gentle and doting smile on his lips.
After hearing what Emperor Wu of Zhou said, the middle-aged man mocked coldly: "It's really not like you."
"It doesn't look like me."
The middle-aged man knew Emperor Zhou Wu's purpose, and said with a sneer: "I am willing to do so." His words were in response to Emperor Zhou Wu's words just now: "Xiao Shi is the only person in the world who is like Big Brother, you are reluctant to kill him." ] "As long as it's anyone related to you, I won't let it go."
"That's it, then I can't let Xiao Shi appear in front of you again."
The middle-aged man looked at Emperor Zhou Wu coldly and said nothing.
Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up, looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said, "I'll come see you when I have time." After that, he took Sun Kui and left.
After Emperor Zhou Wu left, the middle-aged man slammed the book in his hand on the table.
After leaving the house, Sun Kui dared to ask: "Your Majesty, are you really not going to let His Highness get close to that person?"
"I can't bear to see Xiao Shi being killed by him." Emperor Wu of Zhou said meaningfully, "Xiao Shi will go to Hulong Temple tomorrow. You will go to Hulong Temple tomorrow afternoon to take Xiao Shi back to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Emperor was right not to let His Royal Highness get close to that person. That person has an uncertain temperament and might harm His Highness the Tenth.
"The next step will be fun."
Fun?
Where is the fun?
Your Majesty, what bad ideas are you planning?
At this time, Zhao Yao had just returned to Liang Run's house.
Seeing that he was back, Liang Run hurriedly told him about his cooperation with Boss Hu Ren and Boss Wusun An Ren in the afternoon.
After hearing this, Zhao Yao suggested to Liang Run: "Second uncle, I think you can form a caravan to travel between the capital and Wusun."
Liang Run nodded and said, "I also have this plan. I also plan to open a store in Jingcheng and Wusun. The store in Jingcheng sells things from the border, and the store in Wusun sells things from the Central Plains."
"This is a good idea." Zhao Yao said, "Second uncle, the person in charge of the caravan, and the people in Wusun's store, it is best if they are all people you can trust."
"I am going to write to your grandfather and ask him to select some outstanding people from the clan to come to the capital to help me." Liang Run had already thought about everything before going to discuss cooperation with An Ren. "When the time comes, I will bring some outstanding people from the clan to help me." I will go to Wusun and make arrangements for opening a shop there."
"I also want to go to Wusun and see the scenery on the border."
"I want to take you there too, but you can't go." Liang Run comforted Zhao Yao, "When you grow up and become a king, you can go. Please bear with me."
"It's still early." Alas, what's the benefit of being a prince? You can't even leave the capital.
"Yao Yao, I don't know much about Wusun. Please tell me about Wusun." Liang Run had never thought about doing business at the border, so he never studied the situation at the border.
"Second uncle, please listen carefully. Wusun was once a vassal state of the former dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty..." Zhao Yao introduced Liang Run in great detail about Wusun and the customs of several small countries around Wusun. Habit.
Dingyuan, Tongan and others were listening.
After listening to this, Liang Run exclaimed: "Yao Yao, you actually understand the situation of the countries in the Western Region so well."
"Mother..." Zhao Yao almost said the word "mother and concubine", but luckily he stopped in time, "Mother likes to read local chronicles, and I read a lot with her. My understanding of the countries in the Western Regions also comes from books. have witnessed."
Liang Run said: "It seems that I will also read more local chronicles in the future."
"Second uncle, the local chronicles my mother and I read were all written many years ago. They may be somewhat different from the current situation. Please pay attention when you go to Wusun." Just after he finished speaking, Zhao Yao suddenly thought of something. meditation.
Seeing Zhao Yao's thoughtful expression, Liang Run quickly asked with concern: "Yao Yao, what's wrong?"
"I always feel that it's not right for us to suddenly have a good relationship with Wusun."
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Yao didn't answer. The Great Zhou Dynasty had just been established for more than ten years. Over the years, it had been busy suppressing rebellions and recuperating, and had not made good friends with the countries in the Western Regions. Furthermore, the countries in the Western Regions separated from the Central Plains during the previous dynasty and were invaded and occupied by the Xiongnu, becoming their vassal states.
"Isn't Wusun a vassal state of the Xiongnu? How could it be on good terms with Zhou?"
"Wusun is actually a vassal state of the Xiongnu?!" Liang Run's expression changed immediately when he mentioned the Xiongnu.
"The previous dynasty was invaded by the Xiongnu, but Wusun has come to befriend the Zhou Dynasty now, which means Wusun is no longer a vassal state of the Xiongnu." Zhao Yao rubbed his chin and said, "Something must have happened to the Xiongnu. Otherwise, with Wusun’s strength, it would be impossible to escape the control of the Xiongnu.”
Liang Run felt relieved when he heard this.
"As long as Wusun is not a vassal state of the Xiongnu, it will be fine."
Zhao Yao frowned slightly and guessed: "Wusun suddenly became friends with Da Zhou. He probably wants to cooperate with Da Zhou and then resist the Huns together."
"Resist the Huns?" After Liang Run finished speaking, his expression changed drastically and he asked, "Are the Huns going south?"
When Dingyuan and the others heard this, they all looked uneasy.
"I shouldn't go south for the time being." Zhao Yao said, "I'll find out about the Xiongnu when I get back." He felt that there must be some hidden meaning behind the sudden friendship between the stinky father and Wusun.
"By the way, Second Uncle, do you know there is a weird house at the junction of East City and West City?"
"I've never heard of it. What happened to this weird house?"
Zhao Yao told Liang Run about his visit to the weird house in the afternoon, "I thought my second uncle had heard about it."
"I've never heard of it," Liang Run said.
"Wait until I go back and ask mother if she knows about this matter." Zhao Yao felt that it was unlikely that Liang Zhaoyi knew about this matter.
"Yao Yao, you know nothing about the owner of that house, and you let Tongxi take you over the wall. You are really reckless. If the owner of the house is not good for you, wouldn't you be in danger?" Liang Run He started to train Zhao Yao and Tong Xilai, and the training lasted for an hour before stopping.
"In the future, don't act recklessly just because Tongxi's martial arts are high." Liang Run warned again, "There are many people in the world who are better than Tongxi in martial arts. Please be more cautious in your actions in the future."
Zhao Yao obeyed the instruction obediently: "Second uncle, I understand."
"Where are you going tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I plan to visit Bago." Although Bago said in the letter that his injury has improved a lot, he is still not reassured and plans to go to Hulong Temple to see Bago.
Speaking of which, what did Bago do to prevent his stinky father from finding out that he was the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince's brother?
With his stinking father's methods, how did Ba Ge manage to prevent him from finding out?
Middle-aged man: I’m willing to give it up!
Emperor Wu of Zhou: Then I can’t let Xiao Shi appear in front of you again, lest you kill me.
Middle-aged man: ╭(╯^╰)╮
