Chapter 1086 Smart Aya
"Yes, I have spoken in secret." Zhang Zhenxuan nodded and then said, "But Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"
"Wait." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian, they can't just stay in Gaochang City forever, right? Especially Su Dingfang, in addition to guarding Gaochang over the years, he has also been carefully teaching his disciple Pei Xingjian.
To be honest, the promise I made to him has shown signs of breaking due to the changes in recent years. Although Su Dingfang has no complaints about this, I cannot remain indifferent. "
"You wrote a letter to Gaochang?" Zhang Zhenxuan was a little surprised when he heard that.
"I have already sent someone to deliver the letter. I estimate that the master and disciple will arrive in two or three days."
"Your Highness, are you planning to give Su Dingfang a reward for his military merit?"
"Yes, I have to keep Pei Xingjian for myself, and Su Dingfang... I'll leave it to my eldest brother in the future." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this with a sigh in his tone: "Alas... When I first met Su Dingfang, I was aiming for a long-lasting relationship..."
"There are so many of your retainers who are pursuing 'eternal love'..." Zhang Zhenxuan shook his head after hearing this, and then said: "I think... it would be better if you don't tell Su Dingfang about this directly, but give him a chance to choose."
"You're right." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and said, "Breaking up should be done in a dignified manner. Of course, if Su Dingfang is willing to be bullied by me all the time, then I will definitely not treat him unfairly."
"Your Highness, I actually think that Su Dingfang will eventually choose to follow you." Zhang Zhenxuan thought for a moment and said, "After all, you and General Li Jing have both done him a favor."
"It is true that Uncle Li has done him a favor. As for me..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought about it and felt that the favor was not that great: "I just intercepted him halfway."
"Are you so confident that His Majesty will see Su Dingfang's talents in the future?"
"That's Su Dingfang..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu sighed upon hearing this and said in a gloomy tone, "If he stays, he will definitely be a standout in the future."
"In the future? Will there be any enemies around the Tang Dynasty in the future?"
"Ha, that's right." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and looked at Zhang Zhenxuan: "Zhenxuan, don't worry. There will be no war in the Central Plains in the next few decades, but we still have a lot of things to do."
"Your Highness, I am looking forward to it." Zhang Zhenxuan smiled and said, "I want to know if you have the ability to govern the country."
"Hey..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled when he heard this: "I have never eaten donkey meat, but I have seen a donkey run, right?"
"You are good at using metaphors." Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhenxuan shook his head helplessly at first, then smiled and nodded to show his agreement.
There is really no one in this world more interesting than His Highness.
-------------------------------------
Two days later, when Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian arrived in Shanzhou City, they met up with His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"This minister is Su Dingfang.
Your Excellency, my name is Pei Xingjian.
Meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu! "In the inn, Su Dingfang had just entered the room when he saw the King of Chu preparing to take off his shoes: "Your Highness... you really are... nostalgic..."
“Ha…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stopped what he was doing and said in an awkward tone, “Dingfang… you’re moving too fast…”
"Your Highness, the King of Chu, are not as quick as you." Su Dingfang smiled faintly and said, "Are you playing 'speed is the essence of war' again?"
"Not bad, not amazingly fast." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand upon hearing this, and then looked at Pei Xingjian who was standing next to Su Dingfang: "Xingjian, you have to be the vanguard in this battle against Tubo - I have to see who is stronger, you or your elder brother."
"Your Highness..." Pei Xingjian did not expect that His Highness the King of Chu would have such high expectations of him: "I am a Confucian general..."
"What's wrong with being a Confucian general?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu stiffened his neck when he heard this: "I am also a Confucian general! Why can't Confucian generals be vanguards? You are prejudiced!"
"Ah, right, right, right..." Pei Xingjian was too lazy to struggle: "Your Highness is right..."
"Alright, that's it." Seeing Pei Xingjian give in, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately skipped the topic: "Everyone have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will set out to Luoshui City and send Tubo off!"
"Yes!" As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Chu finished speaking, all the retainers responded loudly.
Of course, there is an exception.
"Master, master, do you want to discuss something with me?" After the other retainers had left, Aya stayed behind, saying that she had something important to discuss.
"What's the matter?" King Chu was just about to go back to his room to write a letter home, so there was a hint of impatience in his tone.
"Master, can you..." Seeing Li Kuan's attitude, Aya became even more nervous, but thinking that only His Royal Highness the King of Chu could make the final decision on this matter, she mustered up the courage to say, "Can you sell more salt to Qianzhong Road? We don't produce salt in Miaojiang, so the Miao people have been short of salt since ancient times..."
"Of course, no problem." His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Aya, you are now a tribute to the Dou family. There is no need to be hesitant when talking to me. Just say whatever you want to say! Besides, your request is very reasonable. We are all the people of the Tang Dynasty. The lack of salt... is all because there is a tyrant in Chang'an City!"
"Hehe..." Aya smiled innocently upon hearing this: "Then our Miao family will never lack salt, all because of the master of the family!"
"Ah! Noise!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu found that Aya was indeed a rare talent: "I like what you said! Now, I will send a letter to Qiongzhou and ask them to send people to Qianzhong Road to deliver salt immediately, and in your name! How about it, is this good of me?"
"Yes! Master!" Aya was even happier now: "I, Aya, will go through fire and water for you in the future, even if I die! - Is that what you mean?"
“Yes, yes…” There have always been many “Fire-Walking Brothers” around His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but he did not expect that now there is another “Bu Ci Sister”.
"Master, I'm leaving now. You can rest now." Aya looked at the master who was so easy to talk to. She felt that the whole world had become more beautiful...
"Alas...silly girl..." After Aya left, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu unconsciously revealed a doting smile on his face: "You are afraid of your uncle but not me...what can I say to you..."
