Chapter 360
Zhao Wang has been waiting for the queen to leave the customs, but after waiting for a few days, there is no movement, and he is worried about sending people to watch the Hengxuan barracks.

After getting the notice that the Queen was out of customs, King Zhao rushed over and warmly invited the Queen to a banquet in his army, Shutong agreed after thinking about it.

Heng Xuan felt that he had no chance to get close to the Queen, and he couldn't let Zhao Wang take advantage of the loopholes, so he also followed.

When I came to King Zhao's tent again, I found that there were many more people.

Seeing King Zhao's four sons coming, Heng Xuan's eyes flickered, guessing some of King Zhao's intentions, and sneered in his heart.

Shutong's gaze had long been on the dishes on the table, so he couldn't care less about King Zhao's thoughts!
"Uncle Zhao Wang, I didn't expect that the banquet has been set up, so my nephew will not be polite!"

Zhao Wang noticed that the Queen's eyes had been staring at the food on the table, thinking of finding out her hobbies, he saved most of the opening remarks.

"Recently, I got a few imperial chefs in the palace. I know that the empress loves food, and these are their specialty dishes. I would like to ask the empress to show her face!"

Letting Shutong take the first place, Shutong didn't care about their identities at all, and sat down on his own.

Hengxuan and Zhao Wang chatted and laughed, and they sat next to her, left and right.

In the military tent, sumptuous meals were prepared on the tables on both sides, and everyone sat down one by one.

King Zhao raised his wine glass and said politely, "I have long wanted to invite the Queen to the banquet, but I didn't expect that the Queen has been practicing in seclusion, and I just found the opportunity today. Don't be polite!"

Shutong nodded, raised his glass and drank it.

Zhao Wang also wanted to say a few words of greeting, Hengxuan knew Shutong's character, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang is interested, so please go ahead!"

Shutong was the first to eat with chopsticks, all the generals felt that the queen was too impatient and didn't know the dining etiquette at all!

Thinking of how powerful she was, no one dared to question her.

Hengxuan knows Shutong quite well, and knows that she likes to eat and can eat, not to mention that she has been locked away for ten days, so she should be hungry already!
Seeing her raging like a cloud, eating happily, Heng Xuan signaled the guards to bring some delicacies on his table to her desk.

Zhao Wang waited to see how many meals the queen ate in a very short time, and quickly arranged for people to remove the leftover seats, and took the initiative to fill in the untouched dishes on his table.

Seeing that the queen was eating happily, he probably didn't have time to talk to him, so Wang Zhao simply put down his chopsticks, and he didn't eat because he had something on his mind.

Naturally, no one else dared to move, and only the queen was eating and drinking in the whole big tent.

Shutong never refuses anyone who comes, and the chef's skills are really good, and the delicious delicacies make her a real treat.

After drinking and eating, seeing her put down her chopsticks, a maid next to her immediately brought a wet towel to wipe her hands, and then offered fragrant tea to rinse her mouth.

Withdrawing the remnants of the seats and serving refreshments, King Zhao cleared his throat and said, "My Majesty, before this king was blind to Mount Tai, mistook fish eyes for pearls, and recruited evil spirits, thanks to my Majesty. The method is clever, so I can avoid the hidden danger of this king, thank you for your kindness!"

Shutong nodded seriously, "It's easy to say, easy to say!"

Seeing her smiling like a girl next door after eating, King Zhao felt relieved.

He said again: "The queen saved me more than once, not only the king is grateful, but several of my dogs also admire the queen!"

Signaling the four sons to come forward, the eldest son led the three younger brothers and stood in front of him in a row.

He bowed and said, "The Battle of Pingcheng, thanks to the help of the empress!"

Shutong looked at the four young generals with similar looks, and his eyes fell on the one-armed man at the back.

This person is none other than King Zhao's fourth son, Heng Yuanba!

At this moment, he stood there with a lonely expression, one arm was empty, and he was no longer as heroic as before!
Shutong shook his head secretly, this Hengyuanba is good at martial arts and quite strong, but unfortunately he is missing an arm and has become disabled, his martial strength will be greatly reduced, it's no fun for such a person to practice his hands!

Zhao Wang noticed that her eyes fell on the youngest son's broken arm, felt a pain in his heart, and said sincerely, "Queen, this is the fourth son of this king, Heng Yuanba!"

"This kid loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, and he is even a mighty fighter on the battlefield. I also hope that he can make great achievements. I don't want to encounter a monster and cast spells, causing my son to lose an arm!"

"Queen! This king has an unfeeling request, I hope you can agree!"

Shutong said inexplicably: "You want revenge? The national teacher is dead!"

Zhao Wang hurriedly said, "The queen killed Yaodao and avenged me and my father and son. I am very grateful! But I have other requests!"

"This king wants to have the cheek to beg the empress to give you an elixir!"

"Elixir?"

Shutong blinked her eyes, although she has some cultivation, she doesn't know how to make alchemy!

Shrugged and said, "Sorry, I didn't!"

Zhao Wang was very disappointed, "Aren't you the master of Qingfeng Temple? There is no elixir for the Taoist?"

Shutong secretly thought of Qingfengguan, poor and white, most of the things were destroyed, leaving only a book of talismans and seals, where did the elixir come from!
Shaking his head, he said, "No!"

Zhao Wang regretted: "This king is confused, thinking that all immortals can make alchemy!"

Shutong curled her lips and said, "What do you want the elixir for? Do you want to live forever?"

That's a joke!What is the purpose of the national teacher's desperate cultivation!
If there is really an elixir that can make you live forever if you eat one, then why do you need to practice!
King Zhao smiled wryly, "I want to ask for an elixir that can regenerate my son's severed limbs!"

Shutong stared in surprise and said, "Isn't your expectation too high? I'm sorry, I don't have such powerful things!"

Noticed the light in Heng Yuanba's eyes flashed, but soon became sad again.

Shutong was very soft-hearted, and said, "It's just that one arm is missing, after all, you still have one life. I heard that you are superb in martial arts, and you can still fight with one arm to kill the enemy!"

The corner of Heng Yuanba's mouth twitched slightly, he knew it naturally, but losing an arm, his skills were greatly reduced, and he was always unconsciously discouraged.

Hengxuan said: "Uncle Wang, you are embarrassing. The empress is powerful, but she is not a real god. How can she make people reborn with a broken arm!"

Zhao Wang also knew that he was delusional, motioned his son to return to his seat, and cleared his throat.

He said seriously: "Nephew, I invite you here today, firstly, to thank the empress, and secondly, I want to ask you what is your plan?"

After waiting for these days, and finally waiting for the queen to leave the customs, Heng Xuan was actually a little impatient.

Nodding, "Uncle Wang, I do have an idea!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Shutong who was eating snacks, and said with a smile, "Now that our forces are facing each other and encircling the capital, we will have to make a decision sooner or later!"

King Zhao stroked his beard, nodded and said, "That's right, there's no point in waiting any longer, so what's your nephew's plan?"

Hengxuan said, "The queen is the master of the Qingfeng Temple, and also the national teacher recognized by my Dazhou royal family. Since the national teacher has appeared, why don't you all sit down and discuss the most suitable method!"

He sighed again: "Nowadays the world is in chaos, the people are suffering, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil. We can no longer go through wars!"

Seeing that he was concerned about the country and the people, King Zhao couldn't help sneering, what a little fox!
