Bluebird said in a deep voice: "These Shu people are unreasonable. What do they want to do? Are they going to besiege the delegation?"
Zhao Hao said softly, "Miss Bluebird, don't be anxious. Ask her what the situation is first."
Then, he looked at the guards again and asked, "Did those people say anything specific? What were their emotions?"
The guard hurriedly said, "My Lord, they are all very angry, and they are all shouting for you to..."
Zhao Hao said, "Speak."
The guard said, "They all shouted, 'Your Majesty, don't be a coward. If you have the guts, go out and meet them immediately!'"
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Besides this, is there nothing else?"
The guard shook his head: "No more."
Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "You just said that most of these people are dressed as scholars?"
The guard replied, "Most of them, it seems, are people of some status in the imperial capital of Shu, mostly young people."
Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, go ahead, don't worry about these people, even if someone breaks in by force, you don't have to care."
"Leave it all to the people at the post house."
The guard nodded quickly: "Yes!"
The guard took the order and left. Qingniao frowned and said, "My Lord, I will go find Princess Li Ge and ask her to come and handle it personally!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand: "Forget it, isn't there a prince outside? It should be dealt with soon."
Wu Song at the side asked in confusion: "Sir, do you know who these people are?"
Zhao Hao shook his head: "I don't know, but I can roughly guess."
Upon hearing this, Wu Song and Blue Bird both looked at him inquiringly.
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "They are nothing more than a group of young scholars from Shu."
"Before, the joint envoys from Wu and Shu came to visit Gan together, but I defeated them alone."
"Of course it's embarrassing."
"Now that I have come to Shu, these young scholars will naturally come to me to seek revenge."
Wu Song suddenly realized: "These people want to fight with Master Wen? They really overestimate their own abilities!"
"Before, the members of their delegation were all carefully selected strong fighters, but they were eventually defeated by you, young master."
"With these people, how can they be a match for you, young master?"
The blue bird at the side said in a deep voice: "My Lord, this matter can be big or small, but we still have to report it to Princess Li Ge. This kind of situation must not happen again."
Zhao Hao thought about it for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I'll mention it to Princess Li Ge tomorrow after I meet her."
We just arrived today and this situation happened. If it's like this every day, they might just surround the inn and not leave.
That's too speechless.
Moreover, once the scope of the hype expands, it would be wrong for him to show up, and it would be wrong for him to pretend to be dead and not show up.
It's still quite difficult.
Zhao Hao looked at Qingniao and said, "Bring me the list of high-ranking figures in Shu Kingdom that we need to visit. I need to reconsider it."
Qingniao nodded, took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao reached out to take it, placed it in front of him and slowly opened it.
The blue bird said, "There are two very important people on the list of people that the Marquis wants to visit."
"One is King Xiaoyao, and the other is Princess Yucheng. These two siblings have a strong influence throughout Shu."
"It can influence Her Majesty the Empress of Shu to a great extent."
"If you can convince these two, this mission won't be a problem at all."
Zhao Hao nodded and said, "On the way here, you once said that although this King Xiaoyao and Princess Yucheng have a strong influence in Shu, the two of them are like water and fire, right?"
Bluebird nodded and said, "Yes, overall, King Xiaoyao is more powerful because he assisted the Shu Kingdom's empress for many years when she ascended the throne."
"Although he no longer attends court due to his age in recent years, no one can ignore this King Xiaoyao."
"And the other Princess Yucheng is the aunt of the Empress of Shu."
"Among the royal family of Shu, Princess Yucheng is a person whose words are as important as gold."
"She has great power, and there are many royal families supporting her, because she has been in charge of the royal treasury for many years."
"Even before, the Queen of Shu wanted to take back the control of the treasury and hand it over to Princess Li Ge, but she didn't do it."
"Princess Li Ge had no choice but to set up another business."
"That's why there's a rift between Princess Yucheng, Princess Lige, and the Empress of Shu."
"Given the relationship between the Marquis and Princess Li Ge, it will be difficult for the Marquis to convince Princess Yucheng."
"Of course, if you are willing to cooperate with Princess Yucheng to do the wine and porcelain business, then Princess Yucheng will be very willing to support us."
"But if we do this, we will offend King Xiaoyao."
Zhao Hao shook his head and laughed, "That is to say, if I get the support of King Xiaoyao, I will offend the old princess."
"Having the support of the old princess means we will offend King Xiaoyao on the other side?"
Bluebird nodded: "Yes!"
Zhao Hao smacked his lips twice and said, "This is difficult. I didn't expect the situation in Shu to be so complicated."
Zhao Hao once again felt that he had underestimated the difficulty of this visit.
Bluebird said, "The main ones are the two. As for the rest, you can choose them at your discretion."
As they were talking, a waiter came in and reported, "My Lord, the young man named Dashan wants to see you."
Zhao Hao nodded, put away the list in front of him, and said, "Okay, let him in."
The waiter took the order and then Dashan walked in.
"Greetings, Master Zhao. The group of people who wanted to see you at the door just now have dispersed."
"I'm sorry to have frightened Master Zhao. I hope you'll forgive me."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and shook his head, "It's nothing. As long as it's handled properly, Dashan has worked hard."
Dashan said quickly, "This is what Dashan should do. If Master Zhao has any instructions, just send someone to call me."
After saying that, he saluted towards Zhao Hao, turned around and walked out.
Looking at the other person's departing figure, Qingniao said, "It seems that the Marquis's guess is correct. This Dashan must be the Nineteenth Prince without a doubt."
Otherwise, it would be impossible to deal with those people of extraordinary status outside the inn so quickly.
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "Okay, you guys go out first. I need to think about the list again."
Wu Song and Blue Bird looked at each other and left the room.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Zhao Hao had just gotten up and was about to eat something when he went to the palace to meet the Queen of Shu. Princess Li Ge had already arrived.
As soon as she came up, Princess Li Ge sincerely apologized to Zhao Hao for the group of people blocking the entrance of the inn yesterday.
What else can Zhao Hao do?
Of course I forgive you!
Then, Princess Li Ge accompanied Zhao Hao to have a simple meal. After Zhao Hao changed into his official uniform again, they went to the Shu Kingdom Palace together.
