"King Zhao has come at the perfect time. There are wars going on in the border areas. I wonder why the Emperor of the Central Plains sent you here this time?"

King Bian Xi coughed a few times and asked loudly.

"It was not the emperor who sent me here, but I came here on my own initiative."

"You want to come by yourself?" King Bian Xi walked towards him tremblingly on his crutches.

"What are you doing here?" Bian Xi Wang had a pair of shrewd eyes, which were still clear even in his old age.

"I came here to make friends with all the tribes." Rong Zhen expressed his thoughts and looked at King Bian Xi's unpredictable expression.

"Hahaha, you killed hundreds of thousands of my Bianxi warriors, and now you want to make friends with us. What do you have to offer? Your heads?" The expression of the King of Bianxi suddenly became cold and solemn, and his eyes were like eagle hooks, which made people shudder.

"My Lord, please take care of yourself. I know that your people now rely on a piece of green grass for food, but it has not rained for half a year. What do the cattle and sheep eat?"

"This is my business, Bianxi, you don't have to worry about it." King Bianxi knew that the terrain here was high. The soft soil couldn't grow vegetables like the Central Plains, so he had to slaughter cattle and sheep. Unfortunately, it hadn't rained for half a year, and the grass couldn't grow food, which had always been a headache for Bianxi.

“In fact, I know that the tribes in the border areas want to use food and grass to exchange for the support of the border west, and open a road from the border west to capture the Central Plains. But how can we start a war if we can’t even feed the people?

In fact, the King of Bianxi has always hoped for peace. If this dispute can be settled, my Great Qi would rather pay tribute of tens of thousands of stones of grain and seeds in exchange for peace."

After these words came out, King Bian Xi was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at him fiercely and said: "What do you want to exchange with me? You must want to get more support from me, right?"

"No, I just want to make friends with the King of Bianxi in my own name."

King Bianxi narrowed his eyes as he looked at Rong Zhen. He was increasingly unable to understand the way people in the Central Plains did things.

The information he got was that Da Qi had already sent hundreds of thousands of troops to quietly besiege the border tribes and were preparing to flatten their grasslands, but Rong Zhen did not seem to be in the mood to fight. According to legend, this arrogant Prince Changsheng would always kill people without blinking an eye in battle, but now he looked gentle, which made him a little unbelievable about his identity.

"Are you really King Zhao?" King Bianxi stared at him for a long time and asked silently.

"Of course, this is my badge." Rong Zhen specially presented the badge to make it easier for him to identify his true identity.

"Haha, okay, but I will consider what you said after my people come back. You and your people should live in the palace these days."

King Bianxi thought that after his men brought back the information, they would detain them as hostages in the Bianxi Palace. This way, everything would be under their control.

Rong Zhen could see through what King Bian Xi was thinking at a glance.

It was late at night, and Gu Yunru opened her sore eyelids. Why did her neck ache so much after waking up? Her brain felt like it was exploding. Qingxing had been guarding her bedside, not leaving her side.

Seeing that the young lady had finally woken up, he excitedly said, "Young lady, young lady."

"Well... where am I?" Gu Yunru slowly sat up and looked at the bright and spacious boudoir. The pillars were made of pink paddle wood and there was a faint scent of orchids floating in the room.

"Miss, we are in Huamanlou."

As soon as Qing Xing finished speaking, she heard someone open the door and walk in. It was Kang Keren, followed by two maids, who placed some food on the table. Kang Keren looked at Gu Yunru waking up, raised her lips slightly, and walked forward and said, "Miss Gu, you are awake now, let's have dinner. It's getting late."

"Our young lady knows about it. You can go out first." Qing Xing didn't like Kang Keren. The tone of her voice was a little strange. Gu Yunru gently pinched her hand, indicating that she shouldn't say that to others. After all, this was her territory.

Gu Yunru got up from the bed, looked at Kang Keren with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Miss Kang, is this your room?"

"This is not my room. If there are guests, they will stay here. I wonder if Miss Gu is sleeping well?"

"Not bad. The fragrance of this orchid has a hypnotic effect." Gu Yunru was not hypnotized by the orchid, but she felt dizzy as soon as she arrived here. No one knew where Huang Zijun had gone.

Sitting around the table, seeing Kang Keren about to leave, he quickly called her over, "Miss Kang, let's have dinner together. I just happen to have something to ask you."

Kang Keren stopped hesitantly, smiled at her, and sat aside. Sure enough, her every frown and smile tickled people's hearts.

"Thank you Miss Kang for preparing these delicious meals. I wonder where the man who brought us here has gone?"

Gu Yunru looked at Kang Keren's expression curiously, only to see her gently put down her chopsticks and smile charmingly, with dimples on her face.

"Mr. Huang has something important to attend to, so he asked me to take care of you two for the time being."

Kang Keren was very careful in what she said. She didn't tell her where Huang Zijun had gone, so she had no idea what had happened in the post house. Could Rong Zhen have been captured as a spy? "Are all the people in the post house gone?" Gu Yunru was vaguely worried about Rong Zhen's safety.

"Miss Gu, are you worried about the prince?" Kang Keren finally stopped pretending to be stupid and started talking to her.

"Yes." Gu Yunru simply admitted it boldly. If his entire army was wiped out, she and Qingxing would not be able to go back. Of course, she had to ask him if he was safe now.

"The King of Bianxi is a man who appreciates talents and has always been in awe of His Royal Highness Prince Zhao, so Miss Gu does not need to worry about his safety. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is smart and decisive, and he will definitely know how to deal with the situation. Please rest assured, Miss."

This Kang Keren was so eloquent that I didn't know how to respond to her.

After eating and drinking, Kang Keren left. Qingxing pouted at the door and said, "It's just that he read more books and speaks in a literary way."

"Qingxing, what's wrong with you? Are you jealous and anxious?" Gu Yunru saw that her face was sullen throughout the meal and she didn't look at Kang Keren well.

"Miss, I always feel that she is not a good woman. Not only is her identity mysterious, but she is also very charming."

"Okay, okay, it's not her fault that she's charming. Is it her fault that men like her?"

Qingxing was speechless. She didn't expect that a good-looking person would speak for another good-looking person.

"Pack your things and stop having these random thoughts."

"oh."
