Chapter 28: Encountering a confidant by chance (5)

  ——Here——

   "The emperor, this is the information I gathered from the information I received from our generals——"

"Ok!"

  Zhao Ziyin handed the paper with information to Zhao Ziheng

   "Sure enough, the important ministers headed by Prime Minister Wang were captured—"

   "Yes, because they are all prestigious and veteran ministers in the DPRK, so the king of the tombs should not do anything to them now, but General Yuan, commanded by the Imperial Guard, heard that he was sentenced to death on the spot for resisting——"

   "Commander Yuan, it is not difficult to imagine his will to die rather than to betray. It seems that he was very unwilling to succeed to the throne, but he is the most trusted person?"

"What to do? The palace can be said to have all fallen into the hands of the mausoleum, even if we take the palace, facing the mausoleum that has been fully prepared for a long time, it will not be easily broken. Even if the war is protracted, I am afraid that the important officials under house arrest will insist. No longer, the King Ling must have done this only when he is dead. He is fully prepared for dozens of imperial cities to miss without having to surrender. The longer the time is, the more proud he will be, and we don’t know exactly how many they have. To store grain, he will definitely wait for us to voluntarily abandon the city and surrender to him. Even if we attack, he will use those hostages as a threat—"

  Worrying about Zhao Ziyin, Zhao Ziheng seemed indifferent, as if thinking about other things in his heart?

   "The emperor——"

   "Uh, ah, this king knows, you first order to let the soldiers rest, and then summon General He and the others to formulate the next plan—"

"Yes!"

  At first, seeing Zhao Ziheng indifferent, Zhao Ziyin was still a little worried, but as soon as he heard his usual attitude, he immediately became happy and immediately started to act.

  The morning light of dawn appeared on the distant horizon

  Looking at the morning light in the distance, Zhao Ziheng felt a kind of anxiety in his heart. As long as the coup was suppressed a day earlier, he would not be able to feel at ease, and his worries seemed to be more than that...

  【The emperor——】

"Uh?"

  Suddenly remembered the familiar voice in Zhao Ziheng’s ear, the kind of voice that seemed to be close at hand but was illusory...

   "Ville?"

  I don’t know why, but he pretends to be indifferent to Lin Wei and tries to alienate her as much as possible, but since he heard Zhao Zixi’s words, he has always been upset.

  In the same royal city, the bedroom of the palace and the palace...

  Messy clothes and empty space on the ground

  The maid Qingqing saw everything she saw after entering the room, which made her heart timid: "Manny—"

There was no response to the soft call. She dared to come to this room for the first time after Zhao Zixi, who had left here before dawn. The messy clothes on the floor were not difficult to imagine what happened, but she still wanted to hug her. With a glimmer of hope.

  When she saw that she was lying on the bed and was covered by a quilt, tears were flowing silently in the corner of her eyes, her hollow eyes did not blink, as if there was no soul, her eyes were open without a god...

   "Niang, Niang Niang——"

  The most worrying thing has become a reality, Qingqing eyes stared at all this in shock...

  "How can he, how can he treat his mother like this, mother——"

   Qingqing cried out in grief and anger, but couldn't do anything. All she could do was stay by Lin Wei's side at this moment.

   "Niang Niang, please say something, Niang Niang——"

  Faced with Qingqing’s cry, Lin Wei did not respond, even without blinking her eyes...

  "Niangniang, ooh—the emperor, please come and save Niangniang——"

  Qingqing’s words ‘the emperor’ made Lin Wei’s eyes slightly fluctuated: "The emperor—"

   "Huh? Empress?"

  I could finally hear Lin Wei’s voice, but her expression remained the same, she became only the painful look in her eyes...

   "My Majesty, Niang Niang needs you very much, please hurry up and save Niang Niang——"

   Qingqing felt so helpless and helpless, she could only cry and pray...

  Above the inner wall of King City

   "What is King Zhao thinking?"

  Looking ahead, Zhao Ziheng, who was worried, was pulled back to his mind by the voice of the beautiful man

   "Well, it's nothing, I just think the time is really long, but it's very short—"

   "Are you thinking about the empress?"

  The words of the beautiful man made Zhao Ziheng turn around and stare at him: "How can you read my thoughts?"

   "Hehe, how could it happen, it's just that Zhao Wang wrote all his thoughts on his face, how can he not see it below?"

   "You are such a hidden person!"

   "Why not Wang Zhao?"

  Zhao Ziheng and the beautiful man share some unknown secrets, but they also have the same breath.

   "This is the first time this king has met someone who can easily see through my mind——"

   "Can't King Zhao be able to see through it too?"

   "No, what are you thinking about, I can’t see through--"

   "That's just the surface, in fact, Wang Zhao has already seen what he thinks in his heart, right? This should be the so-called confidant in life, right? It should be pure coincidence like us, that is to say, the confidant of coincidence?"

  "Have you met a confidant by chance? Humph, in that case, why did you hide your name and origin from this king?"

"I ask King Zhao to forgive me for this. I have no intention of concealing it. It's just that everyone has a privacy that I don't want to disclose. Please forgive me for this. At first, it was because I didn't dare to climb high, but now I think it shouldn't be concealed. Of course it wasn’t because the situation was reversed. I was named Feng Qinghan and came from the country of Wu. It’s just a coincidence that I came to the country of Zhao this time—"

"Coincidence? That's really convincing. Brother Feng's worries can be understood by the king. Since we can meet by coincidence under the arrangement of heaven, and we are rare confidants, we will become brothers in the future. How does Brother Feng feel? "

   "If King Zhao doesn't mind--"

  "Okay, Brother Feng is really refreshing. In the future, we don’t need to be blocked by identities. Brother Feng can call my name directly--"

   "Brother Ziheng?"

"Correct!"

  "...Then it’s better to be respectful than to follow your fate. In terms of the front, you will still call you like everyone else, and in private, you are no longer constrained by etiquette."

"no problem!"

It can be seen that Zhao Ziheng and Feng Qinghan both have their own thoughts, but they are not sensual on the surface. Under the guidance of heaven or a destiny arrangement, the two have formed confidants. At this time, Zhao Ziheng does not know what the person in front of him is. The enemy is still a friend, and only Feng Qinghan is known, and he is definitely not someone he can imagine.

For Feng Qinghan, who specially came to Zhao Country, everything may be within his expectations. The only thing that was beyond his expectation was that his heart had changed from the moment he came into contact with Zhao Ziheng. This change is Even he himself hasn't noticed...
