Shu Blossoms

Chapter 438
When Wang Can brought Zheng Wei and Yu Tu to the main hall, he only saw Wang Xu, Yan Zhuoyun, and Lu Xun writing something, and the others were gone. Wang Can clapped the folding fan in his hand angrily, and cursed , "These unsatisfactory ones are not as good as a girl!"

Zheng Wei smiled, and turned to look at Yu Tu, "General Yu, it's time for you to rectify your soldiers, but you can't even stop a dozen weak gentlemen who have no strength to restrain a chicken, what a loss on the battlefield back then." Bloody!"

General Yu's face froze, and the soldier named Huzi behind him retorted in a low voice: "I didn't say we couldn't let them leave. Besides, if these noble people want to leave, how dare we stop them?"

Although the voice was low, everyone present could hear clearly, Zheng Wei glanced at Yu Tu with a half-smile, Yu Tu turned around and gave Hu Zi a hard look, "Shut up!"

He turned his head and clasped his fists to assure Wang Can and Zheng Wei, "The carriages of the scholars have already returned to Beijing, and they must not be able to go far on foot, so I will find you scholars here!"

"You don't need to look for it. You still have to run to find it. Let them go! If you have the ability to go back to Jiankang, the princess will admit that you have underestimated them!"

Zheng Wei didn't want to care about it, she didn't go into the mountain for two days and didn't know what's going on in the mountain now, she planned to go back and have a look first, and didn't bother to pay attention to these arrogant gentlemen.

She really didn't like these people, and she didn't know what those gentry patriarchs thought. After picking and choosing, she chose some mud that couldn't support the wall to become an official.

It's no wonder that such a gentry does not fall!

Zheng Wei turned around and saw Liu Wei walking in from the outside, raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why didn't you leave? Don't you want to work?"

Liu Wei frowned aggrievedly, and snorted coldly: "If Father hadn't said before I left that if I ran back halfway, my legs would be broken, and I wouldn't be allowed to run away!"

Zheng Wei nodded knowingly, and said, "You have to thank your Father!"

Seeing that Zheng Wei really didn't care, Wang Can hurriedly said: "Princess, those incompetent people are really spoiled by their arrogance, but this palace is a day's journey away from Jiankang, even if it is a fast horse, they are walking like this, let alone walking If you don’t go back, if something goes wrong along the way, His Majesty won’t be able to explain it to the gentry!”

Yu Tu followed suit and said, "Princess, Fuzhou Mountain is often haunted by wild beasts at night, those scholars don't know the way, if they go into the den of beasts, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Hearing what they said, Zheng Wei had no choice but to stop, she was unwilling to just bring those people back like this, after a little thought she came up with a bold idea, and looked at Wang Can and Yu Tu slyly.

Wang Can and Yu Tu felt their backs getting chills, so they heard Zheng Wei say to Wang Can: "Uncle, I want to play a game with the scholars, as long as they can win, I will send someone to escort them back to Jiankang, and they The incident of leaving the palace without authorization this time is never to be blamed, but if they lose, they have to follow my rules!"

"What game?" Liu Wei stared at Zheng Wei with wide eyes.

Even Wang Xu, Lu Xun, and Yan Zhuoyun raised their heads and looked at her curiously.

"The game is that if they leave the Zhoushan Mountain without being caught before dark, then they win. If they are caught before leaving the Zhoushan Mountain, they have to come back to work honestly! " Zheng said with a smile.

"What if they disagree?" Wang Xu interjected.

"Then I don't care if they leave the palace without authorization, their safety has nothing to do with me!"

As soon as Zheng Wei's words fell, everyone was speechless for a moment, and Yu Tu hesitated to speak, "Then if they agree, who will arrest them?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Wei's bright eyes smiling and looking at him, "General Yu's soldiers all escaped from the battlefield, so it's not difficult to catch a few pampered scholars!"

"No, this won't work." Yu Tu refused, Zheng Wei retorted, "Could it be that General Yu has worn his limbs and courage from farming all these years, and wants to spend his days in this deep mountain and old forest?"

Since Zheng Wei knew about Yu Tu's origins, this was the third time he had spoken rudely and ridiculed them.

At first, Yu Tu thought that Zheng Wei looked down on them because they lost Pingcheng back then, but he usually spoke mildly and politely, but he was questioned one after another within a day, seeing the provocation in Zheng Wei's eyes, Yu Tu felt angry , he wasn't thoughtful enough in the first place, so he had no time to guess what Zheng Wei was thinking, so all his scruples were left behind, and he blurted out his answer.

"Okay, I promise to bring all the scholars back at the end!"

"Don't talk too much! Save yourself embarrassment tonight!" Zheng Wei prodded him again, Yu Tu gritted his teeth and cupped his fists, turned around and shouted: "Huzi, call the brothers to listen outside the palace gate!"

Hu Zi led away, Zheng Wei reminded Yu Tu, "Remember to ask your people to send a letter to those gentlemen before the game starts, lest they call me domineering again!"

Yu Tuying strode away, walked out of the lobby and looked back at Zheng Wei's figure for a long time, with mixed expressions, finally took a deep look at Zheng Wei, turned and left.

At this time, Wang Can in the main hall also looked at Zheng Wei, and asked her with some puzzlement, "The princess obviously has no ill intentions towards Tu and them, why does she keep making provocative words, but what is her plan?"

Zheng Wei smiled shyly after being seen through, "Master Zaifu has sharp eyes, you can see through my small thoughts at a glance!"

"Tell me what you want to do?" Wang Can was a little concerned about Tu.

Zheng Wei then talked about her plan, "How to arrange Yu Tu, these people didn't have time to think about it, I just think that no matter what they do in the future, they have to cheer themselves up and have blood in their hearts before they can make other plans! "

"What about those scholars? Why do you want to play this game? Will it be useful for them to become officials in the future?" Wang Can nodded with a smile and asked again.

Regarding this question, Wang Xu and Yan Zhuoyun also wanted to know, so they unconsciously came behind them to listen.

"The world is impermanent, the emperor can be changed, who knows what will happen to them in the future!" Zheng Wei muttered, Wang Xu and the others vaguely heard something, and were so shocked that they almost exclaimed.

Wang Can stopped her immediately, "The princess is careful!"

"Your Majesty, please don't rely on His Majesty's love for you to speak freely, otherwise you will bring disasters to your family in the future!" Although Wang Can's words were serious, they were sincerely for her own good. She was indeed reckless just now. If it was reported to Emperor Zhou by someone with a heart, even if she would not blame her, it would make him unhappy.

Zheng Wei sincerely admits his mistake, "It's Zheng Wei who made Meng Lang, and I will be more careful in my words and deeds in the future!"

Only then did Wang Can ease his expression, and said to Zheng Wei, "The Princess didn't tell the truth just now, but did she have some scruples?"

Zheng Wei shook his head, looked up to the north, and said softly: "Da Zhou has always called Da Wei a barbarian, saying that they are vulgar and rude and have different etiquette. Have you ever really understood them?"

"I stayed in Dawei for a while back then. I think this is a well-known secret in Kyoto. Are you interested in hearing what I saw and heard?"

Zheng Wei asked Wang Can back.

"All ears!" Wang Can stretched out his hand to ask her to sit down and said, when he turned around, he saw Wang Can and others who were eavesdropping.

"Why do you do such a sneaky act, since you want to listen, sit down and listen together."

After Wang Can finished speaking, Wang Xu, Yan Zhuoyun, Lu Xun, and Liu Wei sat down around, looking at Zheng Wei eagerly.
