"You plan to go to Bashu this year!"

After Xiao He said this, the other two looked at Zhao Jun, wanting to confirm.

"Xiao He, you've said everything I wanted to say. What am I supposed to say next?"

She smiled and teased, which meant she agreed.

"Sir, we really have to go to Bashu."

Fusu obviously also knew the area of ​​Bashu. He had heard how difficult the roads there were.

"It's not us, it's me."

Zhao Jun corrected him.

"Sir, you're not going to take me with you this time?"

Fusu's eyes widened.

"Yes, don't act like a spoiled child. I can't take you this time."

"Why?"

Fusu was in shock and confusion and didn't notice Zhao Jun's teasing about acting like a spoiled child.

"First of all, the journey will definitely be very difficult. Bashu is not like the north, and the journey there is already full of difficulties and dangers."

"I'm worried about your safety, for one thing."

"Besides, the glass workshop is developing rapidly. If I leave, and your boss leaves too, it will be a mess."

"Finally, you are almost old enough. You must stay in Xianyang this year to look for a date. You will get married next year. You must choose carefully in Xianyang, otherwise you will have to wait until next year for your father to randomly choose you a partner."

There was a joking tone in Zhao Jun's last sentence, but this was indeed something Fusu should consider.

"Indeed, the glass workshop still cannot do without the eldest young master."

Xiao He suddenly spoke up to join in.

"Okay, I understand sir."

Fusu ignored Zhao Jun's teasing and understood after thinking about the glass workshop.

"Sir, I will go with you on this trip to Ba and Shu counties."

Fusu turned his head and blinked at him.

Why is it that it works if he goes but not if I go alone?

"Bashu is a general term, but it actually belongs to two counties. I've heard before that the Bashu region is covered with vast mountains and forests, and that people there have to travel through mountains and rivers."

"Xiao He has long been fascinated by this and is determined to move forward with you, my Lord."

"Besides, the papermaking workshop has been open for a long time and has a relatively stable staff. When we went to the North before, there was someone to take care of it. There was also supervision from the Internal Affairs Office, so there weren't any major problems."

"Also, the eldest son can't come along, Qing Liu is far away in the north and can't get away, and Lord Meng is even more inseparable from the Coal Mansion."

"Your Excellency cannot go alone. You must be accompanied by someone. No matter what, I am the most suitable candidate."

Every word Xiao He said made sense, and even Fusu felt that he was right after listening to it.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but nodded, what he said made sense.

"Xiao He, why do you always finish what I want to say? What else can I say now?"

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, agreeing to his proposal.

"But if you've made up your mind and really want to go, you might not be able to come back before the end of the year."

Zhao Jun’s plans for the next year will all be carried out in Bashu.

"Don't worry, sir. It's okay."

Xiao He nodded affirmatively, his eyes firm and even with a hint of excitement.

"Okay, then it's decided. Xiao He and I will go together then."

Zhao Jun has already made the decision, but there is still some time before departure, and most importantly, she has not told Ying Zheng about this yet.

So they made the decision internally, but Ying Zheng, who made the decision, was the last to know the news.

"Going to Bashu?"

Ying Zheng shifted his gaze from the memorial in front of him to the face of the woman opposite him.

Zhao Jun spoke calmly.

Ying Zheng looked at her quietly for a moment, and neither of them spoke.

Needless to say, Ying Zheng had already seen the inevitability in her eyes.

"Tell me why."

Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

The King of Zhao brought up what he and Xiao He had said yesterday before Ying Zheng.

"I think Bashu has a great geographical location and many specialties that are different from those in the Central Plains. This trip should be very rewarding."

Zhao Jun carefully expressed his thoughts.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment without saying anything, and after a while he spoke.

"The Sichuan peppercorns from the Bashu region are of the best quality and also the most expensive."

"One of the reasons they're so expensive is that it's so difficult to get things out of Shu."

"So, you know how difficult it is to travel in Bashu."

"I know."

Zhao Jun nodded firmly.

The road to Shu is difficult, everyone knows that.

"It's enough for you to know. I know you probably won't change your mind, but the journey will be difficult and dangerous, so you must be prepared."

Ying Zheng still stared at her calmly, but there was a hint of worry in his words.

Zhao Jun understood what he meant.

"It's alright, my king. Bashu isn't particularly far from Xianyang."

"Besides, that place is also our Qin territory, and the king's people are there too."

"Besides, I'm not going alone this time. I must bring a lot of captains with me, including Xiao He. He's coming with me too."

She went through it bit by bit, carefully listing her preparations to ensure that there were no problems.

"Is Xiao He alone?"

Hearing her say this, Ying Zheng suddenly asked.

Zhao Jun was counting on his fingers. When he suddenly asked him, Zhao Jun didn't react and just nodded.

"Yes, Fusu can't go this time, but he's the only one."

If conditions permit, she would also like to find more friends to help her, but she doesn't have any.

Ying Zheng sat at the desk, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time.

"How old is he?"
