The next day, Zhao Hao was appointed as the Minister of Ceremonies and was sent to visit the envoy of Shu. He led the diplomatic corps to Shu that same day to discuss the marriage alliance with Shu.
This appointment shocked the entire government and the country.
Because no one expected that the candidate would be Zhao Hao.
When the news came out, all parties had their own thoughts.
Some people are worried, some people are gloating.
Among those who were worried, there was naturally Princess Yongning.
On the first floor, Zhao Hao had just returned when Princess Yongning got the news and hurried over.
As soon as he came up, he glared at Zhao Hao with a stern face and said, "Why did you take on such a thankless job? Are you trying to show off your ability?"
Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do? Your Majesty and the Left Prime Minister have already discussed it. I have no choice but to accept it!"
Princess Yongning snorted, "Why not? If you refuse, can my sister really do anything to you?"
Zhao Hao walked over and gently held her in his arms.
"Okay, okay, since your majesty has decided so, I have nothing to refuse. It's just an envoy."
"Besides, I don't actually have to do anything. The success or failure of this mission does not depend on me."
Princess Yongning was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Hao explained softly, "Your Majesty and the Left Prime Minister have judged that once we go to war with Southern Chu and Wu, Shu will surely want to sit back and reap the benefits."
"As long as we can gain the upper hand on the battlefield and show our might, Shu will naturally have no chance to reap the benefits."
"My mission was naturally and easily accomplished."
"On the other hand, if we get into a long battle, I will fail."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty knows this very well. Whether it succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with me."
Princess Yongning heard this and asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Zhao Hao kissed her smooth and white forehead lightly, and then said: "Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?"
Princess Yongning blushed: "Then...when can you come back?"
Zhao Hao thought for a moment and said, "Two months at the fastest, three to four months at the slowest."
"It still depends on how the battlefield situation changes."
After a pause, Zhao Hao continued, "After I leave, I will hand over the porcelain workshop to Luo Bi, the head of the farm."
"They understand the situation, and I have made plans for the future."
"If His Majesty wants to send new personnel, please mention it and ask His Majesty to wait for a while."
"It's not the right time yet."
Princess Yongning nodded: "Don't worry, I'll remember it. I'll tell my sister when I get back."
Before Princess Yongning left, Zhao Hao was summoned again and followed Eunuch Qu into the palace.
During April and May, the temperature rose steadily, bringing more novelties to the Imperial Garden.
Jiang Wan'er was wearing a dark green dress and walking under the green weeping willows. She was watering a flower bed that had just been renovated.
Obviously, she had been sitting for a while, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her jade-white forehead.
Her jet-black hair falls naturally on both sides of her cheeks, looking slightly messy, and she exudes a natural and simple beauty.
It was the first time that Zhao Hao saw Jiang Wan'er like this.
A sense of closeness arose immediately.
He stopped and watched for a while in the distance, until Jiang Wan'er noticed him and waved at him, then he quickly walked over.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Hao bowed and saluted.
Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly, walked slowly to the water tank next to her to scoop water, then brought the wooden bucket back and poured it on the flower bed little by little with a ladle.
Zhao Hao wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Jiang Wan'er.
"Let me do it myself."
"After recovering from my illness, I always feel that my body is not as strong as before. I still need to exert some strength."
Zhao Hao nodded and followed suit.
He had seen Jiang Waner's physical fitness and skills with his own eyes.
When we were in Shanglin Garden, Jiang Wan'er was really...
Riding a big horse, straddling a big sword, Guo Degang is Guo Degang.
He drew his bow immediately and shot the target accurately, which almost made him drop his jaw.
After a serious illness, my body was very weak, so I naturally got back to health through gradual exercise.
While watering the plants, Jiang Wan'er said softly, "In fact, the ministers are a little worried about letting you go as an envoy to Shu."
"After all, this is equivalent to sending you, the inventor of the thunder bomb, the fattest piece of fat meat, directly to other people's mouths."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "The adults' concerns are understandable."
Jiang Wan'er nodded and said, "However, I still think that you are the most suitable candidate."
"And strengthen your will."
Zhao Hao smiled secretly and said, My Majesty, if you were really so determined, I wouldn’t be standing here now, okay?
But, like he said.
I understand.
Jiang Wan'er put down the water scoop, looked at Zhao Hao, and said seriously: "Zhao Hao, don't think that you can deal with all the tricks of the Shu people in the past just by gritting your teeth."
"Don't take it lightly."
"Don't even take chances!"
"Once I can't do it quickly, I will gain an absolute advantage on the battlefield, an irreversible advantage."
"You are even in danger of falling into the hands of Shu."
Zhao Hao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He had never thought about this before.
Being reminded by Jiang Wan'er at this moment, he thought about it for a moment and immediately frowned.
I have to say, there is indeed such a possibility.
He had never thought that Shu would use force...
If the battlefield reaches a stalemate, will Shu Kingdom really force him to stay?
He thinks things are too simple!
He had a preconceived idea.
He thought that he and Princess Li Ge were partners and good friends.
In addition, the Kingdom of Shu had previously wanted to summon him to be the son-in-law of the king.
Considering these two points, no matter what, the Kingdom of Shu would not really do anything to him.
It was this preconceived idea that made him ignore this part.
Seeing Zhao Hao frowning, Jiang Wan'er asked, "How's it going? Have you figured it out?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, very reasonable."
Jiang Wan'er smiled softly and said, "It's good that it's clear now."
"So, in order to better ensure your safety, even after you arrive in Shu, you will have some ability to protect yourself."
"I will give you a team of 100 green cavalrymen!"
"When necessary, they will sacrifice themselves to ensure that you successfully leave Shu and return to Dagan."
Zhao Hao took a breath of cold air.
"Blue Knight?"
"Is it the dark army that His Majesty personally trained in the legend?"
The Green Riders were a secret known to almost all the top brass in the entire Dagan organization.
The reason why it is said to be a secret known to everyone.
That's because people have only heard of the name of Qingqi but have never seen Qingqi in existence.
No one knows how many people there are in the Green Riders, nor does anyone know their specific combat capabilities.
This is the most mysterious existence of Dagan.
