Chapter 80: The Plague Reappears (5)
"Wu Yao, notify Wang Ye immediately and ask him to deal with the matters at hand first and then immediately investigate Princess Zhaoren's matter. Before Wang Ye starts the investigation, send someone to keep a close eye on Prince Jing. If there is any news, be sure to inform this prince as soon as possible."
"yes."
Wu Yao left immediately after receiving the order, leaving Zhao Ziheng alone to ponder. If possible, why would he let someone else find Yinyin? Moreover, he couldn't handle it first. In Zhao Ziheng's heart, he was helpless besides begging for Yinyin's forgiveness. As the king of a country, he had to know what to do and what not to do, and he had to figure out the order of priority. Even if he only cared about Yinyin, he couldn't ignore the people just for his own selfishness because of his position.
"Shu'er——"
In addition to being concerned about Yin Yin's movements, Zhao Ziheng was also upset about the letter Yin Yin left for Zhou Yan. After all, he was just a stranger to Yin Yin now. Even if she told Zhou Yan where Yin Yin was going, she would not tell him. She might even have forgotten him long ago. From loving each other to being strangers now, thinking of the change and helplessness in between, Zhao Ziheng could not forgive himself and blamed himself countless times. He could obviously bring Yin Yin back to his side, but he used her for the sake of peace. He had questioned himself many times whether he really had the right to love Yin Yin. Until now, the answer could not be solved. The only thing that could be confirmed was that he missed her all the time and thought about her. Without her company for the rest of his life, he would not survive alone.
"Wait a little longer, just a little longer and I can stay by your side forever."
He held his forehead with both hands, as if he didn't want anyone to see his expression at the moment, or as if he was exhausted from feeling deeply guilty about Yin Yin's matter. From what Zhao Ziheng said, it seemed that he had made a decision, or that everything was about to end, and the day of his reunion with Yin Yin was coming soon?
Zhou Guoyu's study.
After the discussion with the ministers, the three people who stayed behind were still there...
"It seems that this plague is probably not caused by the same person as before."
"But we can't rule out this possibility, so I was decided to go in order to confirm this, right?"
Shan Zhen and Xue Han began to discuss the meeting that had just ended. They had decided to hand the matter over to Xue Han for investigation, but the situation Shan Zhen mentioned did not occur during the meeting.
"Where are the manpower?"
"Just borrow the general's soldiers for use."
"No problem. I will personally select some elite soldiers to accompany you later."
"Um."
"What about other aspects?"
After talking with Xue Han, Shan Zhen looked at Zhou Cheng to ask for his opinion, but saw that Zhou Cheng had a blank expression on his face, as if he was in deep thought. Shan Zhen knew the reason very well, so he didn't say anything.
"If there's nothing else..."
"General Shan, we must not let down our guard regarding the wars between the various countries."
When Shan Zhen was about to leave, Zhang Ren spoke up.
"Yes, I know."
"Especially the movements towards Zhao State."
"Zhao?"
When mentioning the State of Zhao, Shan Zhen obviously seemed to be very concerned.
"Speaking of the King of Zhao, I really have to admire him. As a king, he not only went to the dangerous place to investigate, but also achieved unprecedented achievements with amazing speed and action. Zhao was originally scarred by years of war, especially last year's civil strife, which caused Zhao to face difficulties for a time, but it was able to recover in more than half a year. It is undoubtedly the current King of Zhao who has made Zhao what it is today. Not only is the King of Zhao good at military operations, but he is also a talent for governing the country. What actions he will take in this incident, we need to observe."
“…Maybe action has already been taken.”
"It is very possible, so we must find out their movements. According to the intelligence we have obtained from both sides, it is likely to affect future events. As the Great Zhou that has always been on par with the State of Zhao, we must not fall behind or drag them down. The State of Zhao has grown from years of insecurity. If we still cannot keep up with them, won't we become a laughing stock?"
For the sake of face or strength, no matter which aspect is good, Zhou State, which has always been as famous as Zhao State and has equal strength to maintain world peace, will not only lose its reputation if it cannot achieve the same results as Zhao State, but even the small countries that rely on Zhou State will turn against it. Looking at the growth of Zhao State, as a minister of Zhou State, Zhang Ren has to worry about it, and has fully acknowledged the ability of the current King of Zhao, Zhao Ziheng. Although he doesn't want to say it out loud, Zhang Ren already has the answer in his heart. It is also a fact that Zhou Cheng is not as good as Zhao Ziheng. Of course, Zhang Ren is also very clear that Zhou Cheng has something on his mind, which is why he repeatedly If Zhao Ziheng said that he loved Yinyin as deeply as he said, Zhang Ren could only say that if Zhao Ziheng was an enemy, he would be a very scary enemy. What he can do now is what Zhou Cheng still cannot do. If Zhou Cheng can do the same as Zhao Ziheng, maybe, he can compete with Zhao Ziheng, but judging from Zhou Cheng's mood at the moment, it is still too early.
