Chapter 51: The famous capital of the country, the god of war Guo Kai!
It was a hot summer day, and there was an endless stream of people on the bustling streets. Ye Zhang took Xue Nu while shopping together. It was time to buy two new clothes for each other when the season changed.
At this time, the little Lolita was following him, holding the former's sleeve with her right hand, and holding crystal clear popsicles in her left hand, sucking them with her small mouth.
This is made by using ice and cane sugar. It is definitely a good way to relieve the heat in this era, especially children like it very much.
During this time, most of what everyone was talking about after dinner was about Li Mu's defeat of the Huns. Having such a famous general in charge of the country was also the pride of many Zhao people.
But just in the past two days, another news spread in the city...
"Have you heard? The reason why we were able to defeat the Huns army this time was thanks to the help of an expert!"
"How could you not know? My second uncle's eldest nephew's cousin is a soldier under General Li Mu. He has witnessed that scene with his own eyes, tsk tsk!"
"Tell me, what's going on? Who is so capable?"
"Hey, can that be a human? That's the god coming down to earth to help me, Zhao. You don't know, with one wave of his hand, he summoned heavenly soldiers and generals, and with another wave of his hand, dead people can be resurrected..."
Hearing these remarks, Ye Zhang, the person involved, rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He also knew that many things would be exaggerated after they spread, but this was too exaggerated.
However, what I didn't expect was that something even more exaggerated was to come.
Two storytelling venues in the north and south of the city actually turned his stories into storybooks, and they also had various magically modified versions. The content was not ordinary.
The storyteller described himself as a terrifying being who was several feet tall, could reach for the stars and the moon, and could kill tens of thousands of Huns with just one stamp of his feet.
Ye Zhang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then he picked up the little Lolita who was listening with gusto and left. Even he blushed after hearing this level of mythical magic transformation.
When I got home, I looked up and saw a familiar figure sitting in the living room, obviously a visitor.
Ye Chang stepped into the hall, smiled softly and said with cupped hands: "The general came to visit in person, and the plum blossoms are shining brightly."
When Li Mu saw him coming, he stood up from his seat, clasped his fists and said very politely: "I'm sorry to bother you."
"No problem, I haven't congratulated the general on his promotion yet."
Ye Zhang said with a smile, since he returned to the capital, the other party was named Lord Wu'an for his role in annihilating the Xiongnu, and he was the same as Bai Qiang back then.
Li Mu returned: "It's just a false name. It stands to reason that Brother Ye is the first to contribute in this battle. Mu deserves it."
"I wonder why the general is here?"
Ye Zhang took the initiative to ask.
Hearing this, Li Mu said: "To be honest, Mu just reported the specific situation of the battle with the Huns to the king a few days ago. After learning about Brother Ye's existence, the king wanted to meet and commend him."
After hearing this, Ye Zhang said: "No need, I'm not interested in rewards or anything like that. Thank you King Zhao for your kindness."
Li Mu heard this and said: "I also know that Brother Ye doesn't like these complicated things, but the king insists on meeting. It is difficult to violate the king's order, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to refuse.
Is it okay to do Mu a favor?"
As he said this, he saw him cupping his fists and saluting.
Ye Zhang thought for a moment, then looked at the little Loli who was still chewing the popsicle beside him, and asked: "Axue, do you want to visit the palace?"
Hearing the question, the snow girl nodded repeatedly: "Well, Ashue has heard that the palace is the most beautiful place!"
Ye Zhang smiled slightly, and then replied: "Okay, I'll give it a try when the time comes."
Seeing his agreement, Li Mu also showed some gratitude and said: "There will be a court meeting in three days, and I will have someone pick you up then."
"It's time to work."
Ye Zhang replied lightly.
After the two chatted for a few more words, Li Mu said goodbye and left. As a general, he had a lot of things to deal with and couldn't stay too long.
Seeing him leaving, Ye Zhan's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea suddenly came to his mind...
A few days passed by, and a carriage stopped outside the courtyard. Ye Zhang and Xue Nu sat in the carriage together. The little Loli was holding a food box in her arms, and she didn't know what was inside.
In less than half an hour, the two arrived at the palace of King Zhao. It was the time for the court meeting, and King Zhao Yan and many civil and military ministers gathered together.
At this time, a palace servant walked up to King Zhao and whispered respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Zhao Yan nodded: "Call in."
After a while, Ye Zhang was seen walking from outside the palace holding a tin stick. He walked to the center of the palace and saluted the former: "I have met King Zhao."
The little snow girl Loli followed behind him, holding a delicate food box in her hands, looking around carefully, feeling extremely uneasy.
You know, a few months ago she was just an ordinary girl wandering around, and would be kicked out even if she entered a small wine shop.
But now I can actually stand in the palace hall. I never dared to think about it before. If it weren't for my husband's courage, I would have fallen to my knees long ago.
Zhao Yan, who was sitting on the throne, took a look and his expression moved slightly. He saw that the other person was much younger than he thought.
Then he asked lazily: "Are you the foreigner who helped Lord Wu An defeat the Huns?"
Ye Zhang replied neither humble nor arrogantly: "I am just trying my best to win. The main thing is that the generals are united and the soldiers work hard to achieve victory."
Hearing this, Li Mu, who was in the front row on the left, said: "Sir, you are too polite. Without help, even if we win this battle, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. You should be the first to take the lead."
After the words fell, a discordant voice sounded from the right side: "Oh, that sounds really nice. But are there really such strangers in this world, or are there people pretending to be gods and ghosts to deceive the king?"
I saw a young man in red official uniform standing up and saying something strange.
"Guo Kai, what do you mean!"
Li Mu felt angry and looked at the other party and shouted.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Wu An, I just want to confirm."
The man named Guo Kai said something.
Li Mu still wanted to argue, but Ye Zhang raised his hand to stop him, looked at the person in front of him and said, "Are you Guo Kai?"
"Prime Minister of Great Zhao, Guo Kai!"
The former replied seriously, with a bit of contentment in his eyes.
Ye Zhang looked at the other party and asked calmly: "You don't believe in my ability?"
"seeing is believing."
Guo Kai pretended to be fair and objective.
Ye Zhang smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister Zhao, you must have made a lot of money, right?"
Hearing this, Guo Kaixin was slightly startled, and then said angrily: "Nonsense, I, Guo Kai, have always been loyal, upright and honest, how could I..."
