Chapter 1291 Preparing for the Return

Li State, Qiming City.

All the details of Li's tribute to Daqian have been agreed upon.

Yun Zheng was also preparing to return.

However, when returning, he did not plan to go by land, but by sea.

This will be faster and you can also get familiar with the sea environment in advance.

He had received news that Zhao Liuliang had led his troops to Xiongjin.

The navy just played a minor role this time, and Zhao Liuliang is feeling depressed now!

Fortunately, a large number of warships were seized in Xiongjin, which soothed Zhao Liuliang's wounded heart.

However, before returning, Yun Zheng still had to go to Hukou City.

Today is his last day in the Lebanese palace.

He will go to the tiger's mouth tomorrow.

Then, starting from Hukou, passing through Longqing Prefecture and Xuangui, we arrived at Xiongjin.

These days, Yun Zheng seldom left the room and spent most of his time in the room thinking about the follow-up matters of Liguo and Zhenhe.

If we think more about it now and make more careful arrangements, we can avoid a lot of trouble and save many lives in the future.

Today, Yun Zheng rarely walked out of the room and, accompanied by Miaoyin, took a walk in the "Imperial Garden" of the Li Royal Palace.

Miaoyin held Yun Zheng's hand, but sighed in her heart from time to time.

Yun Zheng now has a more mature feeling.

Many times, Yun Zheng’s smile was not from the heart, he just smiled for the sake of smiling.

She didn't know whether this was because Yun Zheng was too busy recently or because of Jia Yao's matter.

Or maybe, both.

"Your Highness, Hesheli and Hailanduo are here!"

At this time, Lin Ji came to report.

"Bring them in!"

Yun Zheng gave an order and pulled Miaoyin to sit in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

Soon, Lin Ji brought in Hesheli and Hailanduo.

When she saw Yun Zheng, Hailanduo's eyes suddenly sparkled with stars.

This was the first time she had seen Yun Zheng since she came to Qiming City.

Before this, when she wanted to see Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng was either busy or resting.

Anyway, there are all kinds of reasons.

After a simple greeting, Yun Zheng invited the two to sit down and took the initiative to say: "I will go to Hukou tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to talk to you and see if you have any other requests."

Require?

Hesheli thought silently.

After hesitating for a moment, Heshelie gritted his teeth and said, "I hope that I can continue to lead the Zhenhe tribes to serve the prince and Daqian in the future."

He said it tactfully.

But Yun Zheng understood what he meant.

He wants to continue to rule Zhenhe!

"Since you have this intention, I will be satisfied."

Yun Zheng smiled, "However, I will explain this to you first!"

"Since Zhenhe has been incorporated into the territory of Daqian, I will definitely send some officials to Zhenhe!"

"Let me be frank. I am not afraid of your rebellion, and I believe you will not do such a stupid thing, but I am afraid that you will not be able to bear the disaster."

"The imperial court can send some officials to help Zhenhe cultivate land, grow food, and become self-sufficient."

"At the same time, the officials of the imperial court will also educate the Zhenhe people, teach more people to read and write, and teach you to make more tools."

"The land of Zhenhe is actually very fertile, but your ancestors have never explored the potential of your land..."

Yun Zheng's words were half true and half false.

It is inevitable to send officials to Zhenhe.

It was impossible for him to take over Zhenhe's territory and leave it alone.

If he doesn't send some people to Zhenhe, how would he know what Zhenhe is doing?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hesheli quickly expressed his gratitude, which was considered as his agreement with Yun Zheng's approach.

"No need to thank me, this is what I should do."

Yun Zheng raised his hand slightly, "I will make it clear to you. I can give you power and wealth, but you have to manage this land for me! Otherwise, I will hold you accountable!"

"Yes Yes……"

Hesheli agreed with a smile on his face.

"Besides this, do you have any other requests?"

Yunzheng asked again.

Hearing Yun Zheng's question, Hailanduo quickly and quietly kicked Hesheli lightly, signaling Hesheli to tell him his story quickly.

Heshilie glanced at Hailanduo beside him, and finally spoke: "Hailanduo has always told me that she admires Daqian's culture. I wonder if the prince can take Hailanduo to Shuobei to let her learn Daqian's culture..."

Hearing Heshelie's words, Yun Zheng immediately glanced at Miaoyin.

Didn’t Miaoyin say that she had already told Hailanduo that she was no longer interested in her?

Could it be that Miaoyin's words were too tactful and Hailanduo didn't understand?

Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Miaoyin couldn't help feeling helpless.

She did tell Helandra!

She felt that she had explained it very clearly, but Hailanduo still didn't understand?

At this moment, she was wondering whether there was a problem with Hailanduo's ability to understand or her ability to express.

Yun Zheng pretended not to understand what Heshelie meant, and smiled, "Isn't this king going to send officials to Zhenhe? If Hailanduo admires Daqian's culture, she can learn from the officials sent by this king. Why should she leave her hometown?"

Yun Zheng’s refusal was very clear.

But Hailanduo really thought that Yun Zheng didn't hear the hidden meaning.

Seeing that Hesheli was silent, Hailanduo became anxious and didn't care about anything else. She said bluntly: "Hailanduo admires Daqian's culture, and even more so, the prince! I want to... be with the prince and become his woman!"

Yun Zheng was silent for a moment, then asked Hailanduo directly: "You should have heard your father talk about Jiayao, right?"

"Ah."

Hailanduo nodded slightly.

"Gia Yao has had this incident, and I have no intention of thinking about this at all right now."

Yun Zheng sighed and said seriously: "I have decided that before I find Jia Yao, I will no longer have feelings for women other than Miaoyin and the others. You should find a good man to marry and stop wasting your time on me..."

Ok!

He admitted that there were indeed some problems with Helanda's ability to understand.

Or maybe she has some mysterious self-confidence.

It's straightforward enough for me to say this!

"Your Majesty..."

Hailanduo's face changed slightly, and she looked at Yun Zheng lovingly, "I know you are very sad after Sister Jiayao's accident. Hailanduo is willing to wait and stay with the prince until the prince accepts me..."

"Why do you bother?"

Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "There are many good men in this world, so don't waste your time on me."

Hailanduo wanted to say something else, but Hesheli suddenly turned his head and glared at her.

Hailanduo looked at Heshelie unwillingly, closed her mouth in annoyance, and showed a pitiful look to Yun Zheng again.

"Miaoyin, come and chat with Hailanduo!"

Yun Zheng stood up and looked at Heshilie again, "Please accompany me for a walk!"

Hesheli quickly agreed and followed Yun Zheng to the side.

Yun Zheng, with his hands behind his back, brought Heshilie to a fish pond not far away.

"I know that you all want to strengthen your relationship with me through marriage, but this is unnecessary! I still say that as long as you manage this land for me, it will be better than any marriage!"

Yun Zheng spoke to Heshelie seriously.

"Yes Yes……"

Hesheli nodded repeatedly.

"Since you have taken the initiative to submit, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Yun Zheng smiled, "I don't know yet about the reward from the court! I will give you one thousand taels of gold first!"

One thousand taels of gold?

Heshilie's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward..."
