Chapter 28: Meeting a Confidant by Chance (1)
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
There was a beautiful moonlight in the sky, which was totally inconsistent with the current situation.
The place where Zhao Ziheng was was a perfect place to enjoy the moon, but he was not in the mood to do so at the moment...
"Today's moonlight is so beautiful that it's a bit boring to enjoy it alone. I wonder if Your Majesty the King of Zhao would be so kind as to enjoy it with me?"
A pleasant and deep voice entered Zhao Ziheng's ears.
Zhao Ziheng knew that the other party had already prepared everything from the tables and chairs placed close the guardrail, as well as the wine glasses and plates and chopsticks for two people. Although he knew it, Zhao Ziheng did not refuse outright, but walked to the table and sat down...
Afterwards, a white shadow also sat down opposite Zhao Ziheng.
The peerless beauty did not faze Zhao Ziheng. Even if he was shaken when he first saw her, it did not show on his face at all. Yes, this person was the unknown handsome man who appeared ...
"Your Majesty, King Zhao, don't you think the moonlight is beautiful tonight?"
The handsome man picked up the wine glass and put it down, looking up at the moon in the sky. However, Zhao Ziheng was not in such a good mood. He couldn't even tell whether the person was an enemy or a friend, so how could he be fooled by him?
"Who are you? Why do you know my identity?"
The handsome man drank the wine in the cup, then turned to look at Zhao Ziheng, smiled and said: "King Zhao, don't be nervous. I just happened to see King Zhao leading his troops back to the royal city during the day. Later, I heard that King Zhao had escaped from the conspiracy of King Ling. It just so happened that King Zhao was hiding in the inn where I was. King Zhao is a wise king in the hearts of the people of Zhao. Knowing that King Zhao is in trouble, who would not lend a hand? King Zhao doesn't need to care who one of them is."
No matter how eloquent the handsome man was, Zhao Ziheng was convinced that the person sitting in front of him was no simple man.
"Regarding Prince Ling's rebellion, what will King Zhao do next? If you can help me, please let me know—"
"Why should I trust you?"
"Well, as long as King Zhao asks, anything is possible, and I will do my best."
"What if I let you capture King Ling alive?"
"……this--"
"How? Can't do it?"
When it comes to life and death, how could Zhao Ziheng easily trust a stranger he had just met? Even if he made a big promise , there were things he absolutely could not do.
"It's not impossible, it's just a little difficult—"
Zhao Ziheng was shocked by what the handsome man said next. Normally, the other party would be speechless, but the answer of the person in front of him was significantly different from common sense, and from his relaxed attitude, it seemed that he was not joking.
"Although I may be able to do this, the person who led this coup is related to King Zhao by blood. Will King Zhao be satisfied if I use someone else to capture him alive?"
Indeed, if Zhao Zixi was not sanctioned personally, the problem would never be completely solved. If one wanted to thoroughly understand the coup, any result would be worse than Zhao Ziheng personally sanctioning him. Otherwise, Zhao Ziheng would have issued the execution order long ago and would not have rushed back thousands of miles.
"Or is it that the King of Zhao is still thinking about the brotherhood and cannot do it himself?"
The handsome man's words hit the nail on the head for Zhao Ziheng's inner struggle. Even though he had announced that he would execute Zhao Zixi personally, he still couldn't think of killing him until now. Even if he did, he was reluctant to do it himself. He didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through by a stranger he just met.
"If the King of Zhao wants to test me, there is no need to force me to propose such conditions. But if you must do so, I will do my best—"
“No, no need—”
Hearing the handsome man's insistent tone, Zhao Ziheng stopped him immediately.
"Then the King of Zhao believes me?"
Zhao Ziheng remained silent in response to the handsome man's question, and it was obvious that he still couldn't believe it easily. In contrast, the handsome man did not feel dissatisfied or unhappy, but instead, the corners of his lips curved up slightly.
"Well, since Your Majesty the King of Zhao still cannot believe me, then let's not argue about this matter. Please forget what I just said. How about a toast to our acquaintance?"
The handsome man filled the empty glass and raised his toast to invite her.
"……Um!"
Zhao Ziheng was unable to understand who the man in front of him was and what his intentions were. In order to show that he was being disrespectful to the handsome man, he raised his glass...
"King Zhao is indeed a straightforward person. Go for it!"
As soon as they finished talking, they both drank it all.
"Okay, okay, haha. When you meet a bosom friend, a thousand cups are not enough. It is fate that I have the honor to meet King Zhao this time. Let's not go home until we are drunk tonight—"
The handsome man's carefree attitude was inconsistent with his appearance, and his personality was even more difficult to see through. Still wary of him, Zhao Ziheng acquiesced to the handsome man's words. Since he came to the ancient times, he was still somewhat confident in his drinking capacity, so there would definitely be no problem...
With the mentality that drinking more is fine, Zhao Ziheng and the handsome man drank one cup after another. Who would have thought that in the end, both of them fell drunk on the table...
"Shu'er——"
In his drunken speech, Zhao Ziheng forgot himself and shouted out the name of the person he had always missed deep in his heart.
"Who is Shu'er?"
The handsome man asked Zhao Ziheng while drunk.
"Shu'er, Shu'er, she is the woman I love most in my life, and the only person I love—"
"Is it the current queen?"
"No, that's not the case. Even if her face is the same as the real Shu'er, she is not Shu'er. She is not. She can't replace Shu'er in my heart. Absolutely not. I only love Shu'er——"
Even though he was a little incoherent, the handsome man seemed to be somewhat sober when he heard what Zhao Ziheng said after drinking. As far as he knew, Zhao Ziheng had only come into contact with Lin Wei since he was a prince, and he had never had any feelings for other women. How could there be an unfamiliar name? Since he was the king of a country , it was impossible for him not to know that there were women outside, but he was unfamiliar with the name Shu'er, which made him a little unbelievable. He never thought that the emperor who looked serious, had only one queen so far, and was admired by people all over the world, and the outside world even rumored that he only loved Lin Wei, how could a strange name suddenly appear? The handsome man was really curious.
