Chapter 57 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
Today's dinner is the roasted whole lamb that Du Wansheng mentioned.
Dinner was held on a large lawn behind the King's Palace. There was a huge fire in the middle with a lamb on it and a chef watching the fire.
Zhao Miaomiao is obviously more interested in roasted whole lamb than Du Wansheng.
The whole time I was paying attention to whether it was cooked, cooked, or not.
Du Wansheng sat aside, looking at Zhao Miaomiao with a smile.
Zhao Miaomiao felt that Du Wansheng's eyes were really disgusting, so she didn't wait until after dinner and said to Du Wansheng directly: "Don't look at me like that, it won't work."
Du Wansheng: ???
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
Zhao Miaomiao: "I said, don't love me, it won't work."
I didn't expect Zhao Miaomiao to put it so directly.
Du Wansheng was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why are you so sure there will be no results?"
Zhao Miaomiao turned to look at Du Wansheng, serious and earnest: "Because I don't like you. You are too young, I don't like you."
After saying that, he silently added, "I'm talking about age."
Du Wansheng thought this reason was ridiculous and asked Zhao Miaomiao, "Brother, you always say that you are older than me, so you asked me to call you brother.
But I checked, and you're only fifteen or sixteen. If we really want to argue, I'm your older brother."
Zhao Miaomiao: ………………
Well, I completely forgot that the original owner was also a child.
"Then I'm not talking about age, it's something else."
Du Wansheng: "What else?"
“It’s just too small!”
"What's too small?"
“That’s it!!”
Du Wansheng didn't understand.
Just as Zhao Miaomiao was thinking about how to explain it clearly to Du Wansheng, suddenly a flash of fire appeared in the sky.
Then the flames fell and a loud noise was heard in that place instantly.
With a loud bang, flames spread everywhere and there were cries of grief.
Someone came anxiously to report, "Lord, Wu soldiers have been spotted! General Gu Sheng of Wu is leading his troops outside the city gate!"
Are people from Wu coming?
And they're attacking?
Why?
Didn’t the Yu Kingdom already return? It didn’t cause any substantial damage to the Wu Kingdom. Why would we still want to fight?
The fireball just now was General Gu's signal to provoke Du Wansheng outside the city gate, leading Du Wansheng to the city gate.
Du Wansheng stood up and was about to leave. He said to Zhao Miaomiao, "Brother, wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Zhao Miaomiao immediately said, "I want to go too!"
Du Wansheng disagreed, "No, big brother, this will be very dangerous. You just wait here for me. I will come back after you finish eating the mutton, okay?"
Zhao Miaomiao: "Oh, it's already this late, why are you still eating mutton? Let's go!"
Having said that, he ran out first.
Du Wansheng had no choice but to chase after him immediately.
The two came to the city gate.
General Gu was riding on a horse, followed by tens of thousands of soldiers, standing at the gate of the city.
He looked up and saw the woman's figure on the city gate. He then said to Du Wansheng beside him, "Lord Yu, I urge you to be sensible and let our concubine go!"
Zhao Miaomiao: Hmm? The Wu people are attacking us because of us?
Du Wansheng immediately said, "Don't even think about it! Also, who said this is your Wu Kingdom's concubine? This is clearly my Yu Kingdom's queen! She's my first wife!"
Zhao Miaomiao: Oh, it seems that all my refusal just now was in vain.
Forget it, it’s a critical moment now, let’s talk about such a small matter as refusing to confess later.
General Gu laughed and said, "Lord Yu, since I have the audacity to lead my troops to your city, I must have reliable information.
There should be two people from Wu State in your Yu State prison. They are the witnesses.
If you release these three people now, I promise not to attack and will just leave.
Otherwise, don't blame the sword for being blind."
Zhao Miaomiao understood that because of the appearance of Gu Xiyan and Su Nan, her identity was exposed and known to General Gu.
Then he brought his troops to Yu State to ask for the person.
So, it's these two scumbag male and female protagonists who are harming themselves again!
Zhao Miaomiao loudly asked General Gu: "The dispute between the two countries is no small matter. Does the emperor know that you rashly led troops to Yu State?"
General Gu replied, "Of course, I received the emperor's order to bring you back at all costs."
General Gu felt that at any cost, he should just send troops to attack Yu State and rob it directly.
He didn't care about the lives of the people of Yu State, so he started the attack without hesitation.
Seeing Du Wansheng's hesitation, he knew that Du Wansheng was stalling for time to gather his troops, so he immediately said, "Lord Yu, I will count to three. If you still don't agree, my fireball has no eyes. One..."
Zhao Miaomiao looked at the five or six giant wooden pitching machines placed behind the general, each with huge stones placed on them. Ropes were wrapped around the stones and gasoline was poured on them, which would ignite at a touch.
She looked back at the people in the city, the houses, the fleeing crowds, the place where the flames had just been, the cries and shouts, the cries for help...
"two……"
Because Du Wansheng was in a good mood today, he rewarded all the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom with wine and meat. Now they are all drunk and can't get up at all.
General Gu also received this news and chose this time to come.
"three……"
"Slow down! I promise!"
Zhao Miaomiao opened her mouth and said loudly: "Isn't it just going back to Wu? I'm going back, don't kill innocent people!"
Du Wansheng was anxious and grabbed Zhao Miaomiao's hand. "Brother, I can do it! The Yuguo army will be here soon. I can protect you! You don't have to leave!"
Du Wansheng held Zhao Miaomiao's hand tightly, and made Zhao Miaomiao's hand red.
Zhao Miaomiao: "I know you can do it, but these people may not be able to.
What have they done wrong? Why should they suffer this misfortune because of me?"
Du Wansheng's eyes turned red and he held onto Zhao Miaomiao's hand tightly.
"Brother, you can't leave! I won't let you go!"
Zhao Miaomiao patted Du Wansheng on the head and said, "Don't be willful. You are the king, you have the responsibility to protect them."
Du Wansheng yelled, "I don't care! I only want you. Please stay. Please stay, okay?"
“You have to care.”
Zhao Miaomiao broke free from her hand and gently hugged Du Wansheng, "Okay, it's not a life-and-death separation.
Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future.
I told you, if you want to see me, just dress up as a woman and come."
After Zhao Miaomiao finished speaking, he patted Du Wansheng on the back again, and then said to the guards beside him: "Go to the prison and bring over a man named Gu Xiyan and another named Su Nan."
Zhao Miaomiao was the first to walk down the city wall, out of the city gate, and towards General Gu.
General Gu was very polite. He dismounted and saluted, "Your Highness, I, Gu Sheng, greet the Imperial Concubine."
Zhao Miaomiao snorted coldly and ignored him.
Then she got on the carriage that Gu Sheng had prepared for her.
Then the guards came with Gu Xiyan and Su Nan.
When Gu Xiyan saw Gu Sheng, he burst into tears: "Daddy! Daddy, are you here to save me?"
Su Nan also trotted along with Gu Xiyan and quickly ran to Gu Sheng's horse to seek shelter.
Seeing his son so unpromising, Gu Sheng couldn't beat him or scold him, so he just waved his hand and said, "Retreat!"
The Wu army withdrew.
When leaving, Zhao Miaomiao turned around and saw a lonely figure still standing on the city wall.
Zhao Miaomiao sighed, thinking that this was fine.
This way, I don’t have to think about how to reject Du Wansheng.
