"That's Zhao Wu, the blacksmith from Qingdong City. He came to help the day after we were attacked by bandits, and he was busy for three days in total."
The centurion's words kept ringing in Zheng Yeheng's ears. Looking at that figure, he always felt that it was somewhat familiar.
Zhao Wu and Wang Yi had a very interesting conversation about prosthetic limbs.
It is said that Zhao Wu started working as a blacksmith at the age of ten, but he had never heard of how to make alloys.
So when Wang Yi mentioned the theory of alloy, he was even more amazed and thought Wang Yi was a real genius.
Suddenly, a voice came from above their heads.
"Who are you?"
"Your Majesty?"
Wang Yi was surprised. Wasn't he going to Kyoto to celebrate the emperor's birthday? He left without even saying goodbye, and only came back after the military camp was attacked.
"I greet King Dingyuan."
Zhao Wu bowed without saying a word and stood aside without saying anything.
The two men stared at each other unwillingly, and both of them could feel the tension in the air.
Phew.
Zheng Yeheng suddenly laughed: "Who did I think he was? It turns out to be the younger uncle of the former emperor of Yunze Kingdom."
"Your Highness is mistaken. I am now a citizen of the Jing Kingdom. Your Majesty sent me to Qingdong City twenty years ago, hiding my identity. I never thought Your Highness would recognize me. I am extremely horrified."
Although he spoke of panic, Zhao Wu did not look afraid at all.
Wait, the younger uncle of the former emperor of Yunze Kingdom?
Is Zhao Wu a member of the royal family of the destroyed Yunze Kingdom?
This news surprised Wang Yi a little. She always felt that Zhao Wu's appearance and body shape were not very similar to those of ordinary people. She felt that he must have better genes to grow so tall and strong.
I didn’t expect that he was actually a member of the royal family of Yunze Kingdom.
"What are you talking about?"
Zheng Yeheng didn't want to continue talking about this issue.
Zhao Wu came to the previous dynasty as a hostage, which was the time of Zheng Yeheng's grandfather.
Later, Yunze Kingdom changed its emperor and collapsed in an instant. The prince of the former dynasty of the neighboring country became an unknown person who was exiled to the border of Jing Kingdom. His hostage status was also revoked and he was granted citizenship of Jing Kingdom.
Although this matter is secretive, it is not a big deal. Almost everyone in the court knows about it, but they don't care much about it.
In the final analysis, even the Yunze Kingdom was destroyed. Who would care about the youngest son of the previous emperor of the previous dynasty of the Yunze Kingdom who was not cared about in the first place?
"It's a minor issue, Your Highness, you don't need to worry about it."
Only then did Zheng Yeheng see Ma Bing.
These were his soldiers, whom he had seen running around the camp more than once.
Ma Bing's face was a little pale, and he saluted with his one arm: "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Ma Bing?"
When Ma Bing heard that the prince could call out his name, he burst into tears. He was a little emotional. His physical disability made him unstable these days.
"Your Majesty, Ma Bing can no longer serve you!"
He could no longer return to the barracks.
Although the military camp still provided him with three meals a day and medical treatment, and would also send him back home with subsequent compensation, his physical disability made him feel sad when he thought of the slogans he had shouted when he was loyal to the prince.
He is just a useless person, what else can he do?
Zheng Yeheng's heart trembled, and he couldn't stop feeling sad again.
His tolerance and mistakes towards the princess completely cost the lives of twelve soldiers and so many soldiers like Ma Bing who were seriously injured and disabled.
"I'm sorry for you."
Zheng Yeheng glanced at Wang Yi and Zhao Wu, his heart and lungs were filled with congestion, and he was so sad that he almost lost his mood.
He patted Ma Bing's shoulder heavily, turned and left.
When he left, Wang Yi could see the bloodshot in the corners of his eyes.
Wang Yi stopped Hong Jiu who was about to leave and asked quietly, "What's going on?"
"The bandits this time are unusual. They were called here. Your Highness is feeling upset now." Hong Jiu simply explained for Wang Yi's sake and ran away after the prince.
Wang Yi seemed to be lost in thought. Looking at the soldiers standing guard in the barracks with minor injuries, he could only sigh.
"No one in this world can have it easy."
…
"Auntie, do you want to go to the city with us? But we're going shopping, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
The centurion received an order to go to the city to purchase a batch of meat and medicine to replenish the suffering brothers. This was specially approved by Zheng Yeheng.
After hearing the news, Wang Yi immediately wanted to go into the city.
"I'll take Silly Sister with me, don't worry."
The centurion finally reported to Hong Jiu again, and then allowed Wang Yi and Silly Sister to sit in the car.
Zhao Wu looked at Wang Yi's carriage as it sped away with a look of grievance and anger in his heart. He shouldn't have asked his apprentice to drive the carriage away just to keep him for a few more hours.
In order to prevent himself from leaving so early, he had specifically instructed his apprentice to go out of the city to pick him up later. Now, he has shot himself in the foot. Wang Yi actually went into the city with the military vehicle.
The city was still as quiet as usual, and the small bandit disturbance outside the city could not bring any impact to Qingdong City.
This city is quite strange. It should be in chaos, but it has always stood firm. It has become a safe zone and fortress close to the border of Yunze's homeland. A large number of refugees crowded outside the city, set up camp, and tried to seek shelter around it.
If it weren't for the ten copper coins required to enter the city, we would have no place to stay in the city now.
Wang Yi felt that they were about to enter the city, so she lifted the curtain and looked around. Today she wanted to buy some small tools to try to make a wooden prosthesis.
The tools Zhao Wu brought were all for rough work, nothing too delicate.
