After wearing lotus essence

The news that Yuan Chuo, the great general of the Southern Dynasty, shot down the black dragon flag with an arrow came back to Kyoto, causing an uproar.

Even the civil servants who asked for negotiations blushed, and asked the Son of Heaven to fight back in the hall.

Yan Ge is getting old, not to mention that his granddaughter won't get married, but he still has to worry about important affairs at the border: "Your Majesty, this move by the king of the Southern Dynasty is no less than a direct provocation. When did I, Da Shang, suffer such humiliation? Please, Your Majesty, immediately Order Li Lun to lead the soldiers to attack the city immediately!"

Shang Cizhou sits firmly in a high position, watching the courtiers and generals quarreling. These years of government and opposition training are not ineffective. Thinking back to the last time the Southern Dynasty attacked, there were a large number of weak people in the hall of the first emperor who wanted peace. How can there be today? Bloody.

The people below were arguing and arguing, and it was nothing more than arguing about one topic, that is, the king of the Southern Dynasty had been dormant for decades, why did he start a war for no reason at this juncture?

Shang Cizhou was also thinking about it, but he knew a little bit.

The king of the Southern Dynasties was for a flower, ten years ago, and ten years later.

He searched through the classics recently, but he couldn't find out why the Nandai Kingdom loved lotus so much, especially the people in the royal court, who had a deep obsession with this flower, and even made it into jewelry and royal family symbols to wear on their bodies.

And his Tingzhi is from the Southern Dynasty, and he loves lotus as much as any other royal family in the Southern Dynasty... Shang Cizhou's eyes flickered slightly.

Some time ago, this group of people was still arguing about Rong Mu's identity every day, and he settled down after being dealt with a few times. But what if Rong Mu really has something to do with the Southern Dynasty royal family?

Shang Cizhou twisted his fingers, they look similar...?What kind of similarity, can one recognize the similarity of blood relationship at a glance?

Seeing that the emperor had not moved for a long time, the courtiers gradually became quiet, and several generals stood up and volunteered to go to Hankou River to join the battle.

Shang Cizhou glanced at them a few times, and suddenly said: "Of course I want to send troops, but Gu also wants to go in person."

Boss Yan Ge was so shocked that he almost didn't mention it in one breath.

"Your Majesty can't! You are the Son of Heaven, how can you go to the battlefield in person, isn't this, isn't it making the Nandai Kingdom think that there is no one in my court?!"

Shang Cizhou smiled and comforted him: "Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Ge. A few years ago, I went to Xiyue in person."

Yan Ge's face turned red: "Your Majesty, how can this be the same! What is Xiyue, a group of barbarians who can only use their strength, it's all for fun, but Nandai is different. Nandai has tens of thousands of sharpshooters , and soldiers who are comparable to my great merchants!"

Shang Cizhou's complexion was subtle: "Because of this, I have to go and have a look. Knowing yourself and the enemy can win all battles. Gu is really curious. I haven't seen the king of the Southern Dynasty for many years. Is it possible that he is still like a girl? , wearing a mask on the battlefield?"

Elder Yan Ge persuaded a few more words, and finally heaved a long sigh.

Shang Cizhou saw that he was getting older, so he took care of him to some extent. When these people didn't worry about his harem, they seemed to be quite comfortable.

"If you go alone, the king of Nandai must go. This battle is unusual. The grievances and resentments that were not clear back then, this time, we must settle with Nandai Kingdom."

The Hankou River is located in Jinguang City of Dashang. It is a natural moat surrounding the city. The river is tens of meters wide and bottomless.

At that time, Rong Mu was chanting scriptures to Bi Jiangxue, and asked how it could still sleep peacefully and why it didn't want to let go of everything. When Lianyu came to tell him, Rong Mu was pinching Bi Jiangxue's small stick.

"Master, Shang Cizhou is going to fight."

Rong Mu said twice: "Call every day, but I don't see them really fighting. This confrontation has been going on for seven or eight days, and I haven't seen any news coming back."

Lianyu's complexion is delicate: "Master, this time, it seems to be different. I heard that the king of the Southern Dynasty sent an arrow to shoot down the black dragon flag of Dashang. It will take two or three days for the news to come back. The war has begun."

Rong Mu paused: "Did Nandai strike first?"

Lianyu nodded: "Exactly."

Rong Mu: "...According to Shang Cizhou's dog-like temper, which is bound to be revenged, this battle will not be bloody."

Lianyu: "Master's guess is correct. Hearing that the emperor is furious, he wants to go to Jinguang City to watch the battle in person."

Rong Mu was startled: "Is Shang Cizhou crazy?!"

"I'm not crazy." A voice came from outside the door, Rong Mu got up and saw that it was indeed Shang Cizhou who came back from the palace.

He immediately said: "The king of Nandai provoked you, you just ask your subordinates to beat you back, why are you joining in the fun by yourself?"

Shang Cizhou looked at Rong Mu with a smile.

Rong Mu went crazy: "I'm asking you something. The battlefield has no eyes, and Xiyue is biting behind his back. If you go in person, the chances of him attacking you will be greatly increased. Since the king of Nandai is going to war, he must be holding back." Breathe a sigh of relief! When the time comes to attack from both sides, don’t you think it’s fun??”

Shang Cizhou listened to his venting, and then stepped forward to shun the hairy boy.

"Is Ting Zhi worried about Gu?"

Rong Mu was stunned for a moment, with an awkward expression on his face: "I'm worried about whether I can lie down with peace of mind with you."

Shang Cizhou picked him up from the ground, put him on a chair beside him, peeled another fruit for Rong Mu, and then said: "Ting Zhi doesn't have to worry, Gu has his own thoughts."

Rong Mu took his hand and bit it hard: "What do you have to think about, these are all random killings and slashing with cold weapons, if you get hit, it will really be fatal."

Shang Cizhou sat next to Rong Mu, with his sleeves covering most of the table: "I have been to Hankou Hegu once, and I have won there once, so I have rich experience. It's an unstoppable posture."

Rong Mu stared: "Then you still go up!"

Shang Cizhou said: "He was so outrageously angry, it made Gu remember the last time I went to Lizhou to meet him, he was also so vicious, at that time Gu didn't bring the Wang Lian he wanted, and he lost the lotus and Gu disappeared Ting Zhi, this time, Gu made a special trip to bring the Bi Jiangxue he wanted..."

Rong Mu couldn't sit still, "You want to bring Bi Jiangxue?"

Bi Jiangxue is about to think about it, Shang Ciri is going to bring Bi Jiangxue with him at this juncture? !

What will he do?

Rong Mu hurriedly said: "Didn't I tell you that Bi Jiangxue and I must not be separated, and you brought him to leave me alone in the Eastern Palace?"

Shang Cizhou looked deeply at Rong Mu, making Rong Mu's heart shudder, and after a while, he heard the emperor's voice sinking: "Last time, I didn't take you with me when I went to Lizhou to meet the Southern Prince. Even though I bought you so many pastries, fruits, exotic flowers and herbs on the way, but in the end they all rotted in the East Palace, Gu finally found you back, and this time I will never leave you alone wherever I go."

Rong Mu was stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "You...you mean, I can go with you?"

Shang Cizhou said slowly: "Hasn't Ting Zhi always been very curious about the Nandai kingdom? Don't you want to see what the Nandai king who looks similar to yourself looks like? It's all a rarity."

Rong Mu's throat moved.

Shang Cizhou brought Bi Jiangxue, even if he was left in the East Palace, he would surely follow behind quietly. Rather than jolting around by himself, it would be better to follow Shang Cizhou, nothing is safer than the emperor's team.

"It's really hard to lie flat..." He whispered.

Shang Cizhou stroked his smooth long hair: "Don't worry, Gu won't put you in any danger. The reason why Jinguang City is called Jinguang City is because there is plenty of sunshine throughout the day. Whenever the sun sets, When the light shines on the city wall, it makes the whole city wall suddenly look like it is made of gold bricks—the pavilion branches are lazy and cute, if you don’t want to change to another place to bask in the sun, you will grow taller obediently.”

Rong Mu's expression was complicated: "Your Majesty has such a mouth, he can be a diplomatic lobbyist without being an emperor."

Shang Cizhou's eyes flickered slightly: "This time, if it can't be broken, it can't be established. The delicate relationship between Dashang and Nandai needs to be discussed with the Nandai King in person."

Rong Mu took a long breath: "... I heard that the king of Nandai is very good at archery, so you should stay away from it when the time comes, so as not to be killed by an arrow from a hundred meters away."

Shang Cizhou raised his eyebrows slightly: "You still say you don't worry about Gu?"

Rong Mu: "...you are so annoying!"

Shang Cizhou nodded seriously: "Ting Zhi has a hard mouth and a soft heart, Gu Quan knows it all."

Rong Mu stretched out his hand and patted him angrily: "How many lives do you think you have to endure?" Not everyone can do it all over again like him.

Shang Cizhou's face was serious for a moment: "Guzi should protect himself and live a long life with Ting Zhi. Even in the next life, Gu will find Ting Zhi, so that Ting Zhi can only meet Gu in every life."

Rong Mu looked at his face, and for a long while there was a helpless smile on the corner of his lips: "You are really enough."

Shang Cizhou rubbed his palms for him: "Aren't you angry?"

Rong Mu: "Why am I still angry? If your ministers who don't look down on me know that you will take me with you to the battlefield, you will be the troublemaker!"

Shang Cizhou just smiled, every time Rong Mu saw his expression, he felt that the other party was calculating something, so he withdrew his hand and refused to let him touch it, even touching his hand was very painful.

"Three days later, the solitary meeting will set off to worship the heavens. The most famous snack in Jinguang City is glutinous rice fruit. This fruit is white, soft and crystal clear. Honey and dried fruit are sprinkled on it. , going alone to this day, is to tell you to go to anywhere, you can relax and sleep boldly..." Shang Cizhou leaned closer to Rong Mu's ear, and whispered: "Maybe the king of Nandai saw our Tingzhi, and put his hands on his hands. The arrows on it will also be unable to shoot.”

Rong Mu pushed him away expressionlessly: "...the glutinous rice fruit is really delicious?"

The emperor nodded with a sincere expression, and did not forget to show his misery: "If the king of the Southern Dynasty didn't beat Gu, he would be able to play with Ting Zhi wholeheartedly on this trip."

Rong Mu looked at him, remembering what the Nan Dai Wang daughter said before she left.

He said slowly: "Ah Zhou, I think that the news received by the King of Nandai may not be the same as the real situation here. You also said before that you would move Bi Jiangxue, whom he was thinking of so much, to the abandoned house... In short For this trip, let’s have some snacks.”
