Chapter 66: Martial King Arrives
“What?!”
“Sweet potatoes are under our feet?”
Ying Zheng almost jumped in fright, quickly crouching down to examine the ground.
He discovered that the ground was covered in vines. At first, he thought it was grass, but he didn’t expect it to be sweet potatoes.
“Wu’er, how long before these sweet potatoes are ripe?”
Ying Zheng’s hands trembled with excitement as he gently stroked the sweet potato leaves, asking.
Zhao Wu said, “They’re already ripe!”
“???”
Ying Zheng was dumbfounded. He carefully looked at the sweet potato vines under him, then looked around, still not seeing any sweet potatoes.
“……”
Looking at Ying Zheng’s searching gaze, Zhao Wu was speechless. He reached out towards the space in front of Ying Zheng and grabbed it from afar.
The soil around the sweet potato vines quickly dispersed.
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned at first, then seemed to understand something.
Could it be that sweet potatoes grow underground?
Instantly.
His eyes were fixed on the ground.
“This skill of controlling objects from afar, his control over true qi is incredible!”
Gai Nie’s eyes narrowed, secretly shocked:
“The Martial King’s strength is definitely not below mine!”
Under the intense gaze of Gai Nie and Ying Zheng, the soil slowly parted, revealing a touch of red.
“It’s coming out!”
“It’s coming out!”
“It’s a sweet potato!”
Ying Zheng’s eyes widened, extremely excited, as if he had found some peerless treasure.
He held his breath, his eyes fixed on it. As more soil separated, three or four palm-sized, bright red fruits were revealed under one sweet potato vine.
“My heavens! So many, so big!”
Ying Zheng quickly reached out and picked up a string of sweet potatoes, feeling their heavy weight, as happy as a child.
Before, when Zhao Wu told him that the yield per mu was five thousand jin, he was actually a little skeptical. It was too unbelievable.
But now…
Looking at the endless green sweet potato fields in front of him, his previous doubts instantly vanished.
How many sweet potatoes must be under here?
A yield of five thousand jin per mu is definitely not a problem.
“Truly a divine object!”
Standing aside with a blank expression, Gai Nie was also in turmoil, shocked beyond measure.
He knew how huge the impact of a divine object with a yield of five thousand jin per mu would be on Great Qin.
As long as it was promoted, the people of Great Qin would no longer suffer from hunger, and no one would die from starvation.
Just then.
Ying Zheng’s hearty laughter suddenly came over.
“Wu’er, you are truly the lucky star of my Great Qin!”
His voice was like thunder.
Deafening.
It was clear how excited Ying Zheng was.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty. With such a divine object, Great Qin will surely rise like the sun, illuminate the world, and flourish!”
Gai Nie bowed and congratulated him.
“Good, good, good!”
Ying Zheng laughed heartily, extremely excited.
Zhao Wu pursed his lips, bored, and interrupted, “Alright, Old Zhao, I’ll take you to see the other fields. Don’t delay, I still want to go back for my afternoon nap!”
Ying Zheng: “……”
Gai Nie: “……”
Zhao Wu ignored the aggrieved look on Ying Zheng’s face and jumped directly onto the back of the mechanical beast Vermilion Bird, waving at the two of them:
“Come on!”
Ying Zheng and Gai Nie got on the Vermilion Bird, and Zhao Wu took them to overlook all the fields from the air. They finished checking in less than a quarter of an hour.
Ying Zheng and Gai Nie were now numb and dazed.
They didn’t expect that Zhao Wu had planted so much.
But then, a huge surge of joy welled up in their hearts.
It was like a pie falling from the sky.
“Alright, Old Zhao, Old Gai, you guys have fun, I’m going back for my afternoon nap.”
Zhao Wu lightly tapped his toes and leaped from the Vermilion Bird’s back, then landed on the back of another mechanical beast, the Roc, which swooped down from the sky.
“It’s so boring to accompany these two old men!”
Zhao Wu complained and rode the Roc, disappearing into the clouds.
Ying Zheng and Gai Nie stood on the Vermilion Bird’s back, their bodies stiffening when they heard Zhao Wu’s complaint, and they instantly turned to stone.
“I… was disliked?”
Ying Zheng stared blankly at Zhao Wu’s departing figure, muttering to himself, disheveled in the wind.
“Your Majesty, there’s also me!”
Gai Nie said.
◈◈◈
Of course, Zhao Wu didn’t know how the two of them felt.
After leaving their sight, he jumped off the mechanical beast Roc and instantly disappeared into the air.
How could the mechanical beast Roc’s speed compare to his speed?
In an instant.
Zhao Wu returned to the Martial King’s Residence.
In the residence, Zhao Wu saw two great beauties.
It was Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er, who had come to visit as the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue.
“Qing’er(Mei’er), we greet Your Highness, and wish Your Highness martial prosperity and boundless longevity.”
The two placed their hands on their lower abdomens and bowed gracefully.
One was gentle and graceful like water.
The other was charming and alluring.
They were truly twin lotus flowers, with a unique charm.
“No need for formalities, let this king see if you’ve lost weight?”
Zhao Wu reached out to help them up, put his arms around their slender waists, and pulled them into his embrace.
“Your Highness.”
The two leaned into Zhao Wu’s arms, feeling the warmth of his chest that they had missed and longed for, their delicate bodies instantly melting.
Hu Qing’er’s beautiful eyes blinked slightly, a mesmerizing affection floating within them, then she obediently closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering lightly, and slightly raised her chin.
Hu Mei’er’s pair of alluring, fox-like eyes were full of affection, leaning back, her chin slightly raised, as if waiting to be plucked.
“Two little enchantresses!”
Zhao Wu lowered his head and kissed them.
It was true that a short separation was better than a new marriage.
The last time they saw Zhao Wu was half a year ago.
Half a year.
The longing and emptiness in their hearts was unimaginable.
Their longing for Zhao Wu was like a surging river.
Endless.
Zhao Wu picked them up and carried them, making it up to them.
◈◈◈
At the same time.
The news that Ying Zheng had suddenly gone to Shu He, and had also ordered Zhang Han to send Wang Ben with troops, spread among the high-ranking officials in Xianyang, causing a great stir.
“What is His Majesty doing in Shu He County?”
“And he sent Marquis Tongwu with troops? Could something major have happened?”
“His Majesty went to the Martial King’s residence before, could it be related to the Martial King?”
Unfortunately, no matter how they guessed, they couldn’t figure out the truth.
And Zhao Wu wouldn’t pay them any attention, as he was currently busy making amends with his beauties.
The moon rose and the sun set.
◈◈◈
The setting sun was like blood.
The Martial King’s Residence.
In the main hall of the sleeping quarters, Hu Qing’er and Mei’er’s pretty faces were flushed, and they lay languidly and contentedly in Zhao Wu’s arms, their hearts filled with sweetness.
Zhao Wu gently stroked their smooth and delicate jade backs, feeling relaxed and at ease. Looking at the beauties in his arms, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Because of his appearance, their tragic fates had been completely changed.
Especially Hu Qing’er, whose original story was the most tragic.
Her family was exterminated by the Left Sima Liu Yi in collusion with Duanfa Sanlang, and her lover, the Right Sima Li Kai, was also secretly murdered by Liu Yi, his fate unknown.
And she was also seized by the murderer Liu Yi, becoming Madam Hu.
Her younger sister, Hu Mei’er, was slightly better off, as she was sent to King An of Han by Liu Yi, becoming the concubine Hu Meiren.
This work is organized and uploaded by 69 Book Bar~~
Now, because of his appearance, that Left Sima Liu Yi, Right Sima Li Kai, all of them can get lost.
Even King An of Han’s wife, the Tide Maiden Enchantress Mingzhu Furen, is his woman.
“Your Highness, we should go back.”
Hu Qing’er looked at Zhao Wu, her eyes filled with love, her voice as gentle as water.
She is now the Queen of Bai Yue.
Although she is already Zhao Wu’s woman, others don’t know it.
She just arrived in Xianyang today, and if she spends the night at Zhao Wu’s residence, it will inevitably cause controversy.
Moreover, she is already very content now, there is no need to stay and attract criticism.
There will be plenty of time in the future.
Tomorrow, she will officially marry Zhao Wu, and in the future, she can openly become Zhao Wu’s concubine.
“Mm!”
Zhao Wu nodded slightly, and then the two of them did not shy away, putting on their clothes in front of Zhao Wu, and bowed gracefully:
“Your Highness, we take our leave!”
“Take care.”
Zhao Wu nodded, rolled over, and continued to sleep, the lingering fragrance of the beauties still in the air.
Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er turned around and took two steps, suddenly frowning slightly, feeling some discomfort in their bodies, a sharp pain.
They inexplicably thought of Zhao Wu’s previous performance, and a trace of infatuation flashed in their watery eyes. With sweetness and contentment in their hearts, they pursed their lips slightly and whispered to themselves with a smile:
“What a bull!”
With a soft chuckle, Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er endured the pain and walked out of the room.
“Your Majesty, Holy Maiden.”
Outside the Martial King’s residence, Zhang Han, who was responsible for their safety, saw the two of them come out and quickly greeted them.
“General Zhang, let’s go!”
The flush and charm on Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er’s faces had long since disappeared. They exuded a cold and noble aura that kept strangers away, and spoke lightly.
“Your Majesty, Holy Maiden, please.”
Zhang Han made a gesture, and Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er got into the carriage and headed towards the post station.
Zhang Han followed beside the carriage, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
“The Martial King is truly a role model for our generation. At their first meeting, he conquered the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue, but this is too fast!”
Zhang Han sighed in his heart, glad that they didn’t stay overnight, or who knows what kind of uproar it would have caused.
Of course.
The main thing is that the marriage partners of the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue are Zhao Wu. Although eating them beforehand is a bit inappropriate, it’s not a big deal.
If the marriage partners were other young masters, and the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue were eaten by Zhao Wu, that would be a huge deal that would shake the heavens.
“No, with the Martial King’s power and His Majesty’s favor, as well as the divine object that the Martial King presented to His Majesty today, even if the Martial King ate the marriage partners of other young masters, it doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?”
Zhang Han thought to himself.
Others don’t know what Ying Zheng went to Shu He for, but Zhang Han does.
A divine object with a yield of five thousand jin per mu!!
What kind of merit is that?
Anyway, he knows that in this Great Qin, you must never provoke the Martial King.
The Martial King is a special existence who acts without restraint.
Like Young Master Hu Hai, who was kicked and crippled by Zhao Wu in Zhangtai Palace, he is still a cripple, only able to lie in bed and be fed, living a life worse than death.
And Zhao Wu is still living a carefree life.
And then there was Zhao Gao, who had previously held immense power, who was killed by the Martial God, and then his nine generations were exterminated by Ying Zheng…
The Martial King is like a salted fish when you don’t provoke him, but when you do, he will turn into a great shark, swallowing you in one bite.
He stopped thinking about it.
Zhang Han escorted Hu Qing’er and Hu Mei’er back to the post station, and then returned to the palace to report today’s events to Ying Zheng.
“Hahaha, Wu’er really does things in an unconventional way.”
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then chuckled lightly, not minding it at all.
On the contrary, he was very happy.
Because Zhao Wu took the two of them so quickly, it shows that Zhao Wu likes them very much.
What he was most worried about was that Zhao Wu wouldn’t like them.
Now he is finally completely relieved.
◈◈◈
The next day.
Zhangtai Palace.
In the majestic and magnificent hall, civil and military officials gathered, solemn and respectful.
On the dragon throne above, Ying Zheng, wearing a black dragon robe and a crown, sat upright.
Twelve strings of beads hung down from the top of his crown, obscuring his face, so that his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness could not be seen.
His imperial power was unfathomable.
Just sitting there, he exuded an aura of ruling the world, with a momentum that could swallow mountains and rivers.
The civil and military officials were apprehensive, and every move they made was cautious.
At this moment, a voice, like a thunderclap, broke the silence of the hall.
“The Martial King has arrived.”
A court eunuch shouted loudly.
The eyes of the civil and military officials narrowed slightly as they looked towards the outside of the hall.
They saw a figure with a tall and straight stature, unparalleled handsomeness, and eyes as bright as stars, striding in. Between his glances, he was full of vigor, like a god.
Who else could it be but Zhao Wu.
“Since Big Brother was made a king, this is the first time he has attended court.”
Young Master Fu Su and the other young masters, seeing Zhao Wu walking in with a calm demeanor, were filled with envy and jealousy.
Their treatment compared to Zhao Wu’s was like a beggar compared to an emperor.
“I heard that the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue have come, preparing to marry Big Brother.”
“I heard that too, they arrived in Xianyang yesterday!”
“I heard that the Gu poison techniques of Bai Yue are strange and unpredictable, the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue are probably full of poison, Big Brother rarely comes to court, could it be that he wants to refuse the marriage?”
Young Masters Gao and Jianglu and the other young masters whispered among themselves.
They had not seen the Queen and Holy Maiden of Bai Yue.
But in their hearts, Bai Yue was a land of barbarians.
The people there were scantily clad, living with poisonous snakes and insects all day long.
Maybe when you sleep at night, insects will crawl into your body.
Just thinking about it is terrifying.
“I think it’s very possible, Big Brother relies on Father Emperor’s favor, acting lawlessly, and refusing a marriage is not something he wouldn’t do!”
“What if Father Emperor really agrees, what if he wants to change the marriage partner?”
“Isn’t there Second Brother Fu Su?”
“Second Brother would definitely not dare to refuse Father Emperor.”
“That’s right, it’s impossible for it to be our turn anyway.”
The few of them whispered, preparing to watch a good show.
“It would be great if Big Brother refuses and angers Father Emperor.”
They secretly prayed in their hearts.
