Chapter 211 You Are Really My Savior
Except for Gu Yuanjia, no one expected that Jiang Hao was actually an old acquaintance of Princess Chang'an.
Chunzhi didn't say anything, so Jiang Hao immediately continued, "I am able to serve the prince today, and I have to thank the princess for not killing me. I am deeply grateful. I would like to offer you a glass of wine, which I will drink first as a token of my respect."
Jiang Hao said this and drank it all in one gulp.
Chunzhi had a bad impression of Jiang Hao because of Wan'er's incident. Even though this man had a smile on his face and said that he was forced to do those things before, she was still a little wary.
Seeing this, Huo Zheng raised his glass and said, "What happened before is all in the past. From now on, you should serve the court with peace of mind. You will surely achieve great things."
As he spoke, he tilted his head back and drank the entire cup.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best in the future." Jiang Hao said and returned to his seat.
Huo Zheng asked everyone to continue eating and drinking, and this little episode was just laughed off.
The celebration banquet did not end until midnight, and Huo Zheng and Chunzhi returned to their room together.
The snow on the ground melted, and Chunzhi's shoes and socks got wet as she walked. Moreover, there were several braziers lit in the hall, which was too warm. After she walked out, the cold wind was so cold that she couldn't help shivering.
Huo Zheng took Chunzhi in his arms, lifted her up and strode towards the wing room.
Chunzhi was afraid of being seen at first, but Huo Zheng knew what she was thinking and said with a smile, "It's late at night, no one is watching what we say and do, just go back to your room quickly."
Most of the people in the general's mansion were busy in the front hall. It was already past midnight and no one was walking around.
Moreover, Huo Zheng's embrace was so warm that Chunzhi couldn't help but stick close to his chest.
Huo Zheng was tall with long legs and took big steps, so he returned to the room in no time.
As soon as they closed the door, they began to wash and change clothes.
While lying in bed together, Huo Zheng recalled the scene during the banquet when Jiang Hao came over to toast Chunzhi, and whispered to her, "Chunzhi, you seem to dislike Jiang Hao very much?"
Haruji is a person who can get along well with everyone and rarely dislikes someone.
But her guard against Jiang Hao was obvious, so Huo Zheng asked another question.
He knew that Jiang Hao was plotting against the Song family and deliberately approaching Song Wan'er, but Chunzhi did not punish Jiang Hao directly. Instead, he had him escorted to Xizhou.
"Yeah." Chunzhi simply didn't like Jiang Hao. She didn't need to hide it in front of her husband. She said directly, "He can deliberately get close to Wan'er in order to get the Song family's wealth, and he will also pretend to join her in order to get something else."
She said to Huo Zheng very seriously, "This man's eyes look very dangerous. You must be careful with him and never trust him completely..."
Huo Zheng couldn't help laughing, he reached out and touched Chunzhi's hair.
He never expected that there would be a day when Haruji would remind him to be careful of others.
Huo Zheng was born into a royal family and grew up in the palace. He was accustomed to conspiracies and intrigues, and the fickleness of people's hearts. The first time he saw Jiang Hao, he knew that this man was ambitious, but there are so many ambitious people in the world, and only with ambition can one have ability.
Now that Jiang Hao has surrendered with the rebels, if we want to completely incorporate the rebels, we cannot let him go.
Huo Zheng whispered to Chunzhi about the interests involved.
Chunzhi understood and said nothing more. She just took out the Song family patriarch's order from under her pillow and handed it to Huo Zheng, "This is for you."
Huo Zheng saw the word "Song" engraved on the jade token and knew it belonged to the Song family. "Did Song Anlan give it to you?"
Chunzhi said, "Brother said this is the Song family's Patriarch's Order. With it, you can mobilize all the manpower and material resources of the Song family. Aren't you worried about the lack of food and medicine in Xizhou? Take this and mobilize some food and medicine to deal with the emergency."
"Chunzhi." Huo Zheng sighed softly and hugged the person beside him. "You are really my savior."
Haruji emphasized, "This was given to me by my brother."
"I know."
Huo Zheng knew in his heart that if it weren't for Chunzhi, Song Anlan would not have done this to him.
Chunzhi emphasized Song Anlan at this time to remind him that the Song family had done their best for him, the King of Chang'an. If he received their food, fodder and medicine, he should remember the Song family's kindness.
Huo Zheng accepted the Patriarch's Order and hugged Chunzhi, saying, "Although Song Anlan didn't come, he has already taken out the Song family's Patriarch's Order. Naturally, I must remember his kindness."
Chunzhi was satisfied with Huo Zheng's words, and then brought up the disappearance of the Ninth Prince Huo Yan. "Huo Yan suddenly disappeared. Do you think Jiang Hao did it?"
"It shouldn't be him." Huo Zheng said calmly, "Jiang Hao wants to gain my trust right now, so he won't hide Huo Yan. It will do him no good."
Chunzhi was a little confused, "Where did Huo Yan go?"
Huo Zheng laughed and said, "He must be afraid of dying at my hands, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape and hide."
"Huo Yan is afraid of dying in your hands?" Chunzhi looked at Huo Zheng and asked in a low voice, "Will you kill him?"
Huo Zheng said in a normal tone: "No."
It is said that there is little family affection in the imperial family, but for Huo Zheng, he would never kill his brothers unless it was absolutely necessary.
At least, not now.
At this time, outside Xizhou City, in the mountains and forests.
The ninth prince Huo Yan leaned one hand on the stone, gasping for breath.
His clothes were stained with blood, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely miserable.
Huo Yan had been under house arrest by the rebels for such a long time and had been recovering from his injuries. His physical strength was not as good as before. After escaping from Xizhou City during the chaos, he hid in the mountains at night to avoid pursuit. At this time, his strength was almost exhausted.
The young girl who had escaped from the rebels' lair with him was also extremely tired. She leaned against a tree to rest, "Aren't you a prince? Those people attacked Xizhou City and cut off the rebels' lair just to save you. Why did you run?"
"Save me?" Huo Yan sneered, "Do you think they would be so kind?"
The young girl looked at him and whispered, "You think too badly of people."
The girl's name was Rendong. She was a doctor from a small town in Xizhou City. When Cao Jing started the rebellion, her subordinates abducted her. She was originally intended to be used for entertainment by the rebels, but because she had medical skills and could save lives, she was sent to treat the wounded.
Later, the ninth prince Huo Yan was captured by the rebels and was seriously injured, so Cao Jing transferred Rendong to treat him.
The rebels were in chaos during the past two days. First, Cao Jing was killed, and then they started killing each other. Both of them wanted to survive, so they escaped together.
In fact, the two of them have been together for quite some time. Rendong has seen Huo Yan at her most miserable state, and she did not treat her as a superior prince, so she spoke to her directly.
Huo Yan glanced at her and said, "It's not that I think too badly of people, it's just that the hearts of people in this world are inherently vicious."
Honeysuckle said, "I think you are judging others by your own standards."
Indeed, if it was Huo Zheng who was fleeing now, Huo Yan would definitely not miss this great opportunity to get rid of him.
Huo Yan was immediately furious when she hit the nail on the head. He suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Ren Dong's heart, "If you want to die, I'll send you off!"
