This time Zhao Feng has returned, sharing his favor equally.
These three concubines naturally also got the opportunity, and this time followed Zhao Feng to Shaqiu to pay respects.
"Good."
"From now on, our family will truly branch out and flourish." Xia Dongāer smiled.
For her,
as long as her son is alive and her whole family is well, that is all she cares about.
All those riches and honors? She doesnāt care the slightest.
"After Qin destroyed the Four Kingdoms, I married the princesses of all four, and now each of them bears my blood."
"These children of mine now also carry the so-called royal bloodlines."
Looking at the four princesses of the kingdoms before him,
Zhao Feng also laughed.
To marry the princesses of four kingdoms, each bearing his blood.
Across Qin, even across the whole world, no one else has such a fortune.
And for hundreds of years before, none would either.
"For this period, stay home and keep your mother company."
"Now that you carry my blood, we are all one family."
"As long as you follow me, Zhao Feng, and do not betray, I will always treat you as family, never slighting you." Zhao Feng spoke gently to them.
"We will surely serve our husband well." The concubines replied immediately.
To this,
Zhao Feng gave a satisfied smile.
"Fengāer."
"How long will you stay this time?" Xia Dongāer asked Zhao Feng with concern.
"The Great King granted me two months of rest."
"But I can only stay for about one month, after which I must go out again." Zhao Feng replied with a smile.
"Where are you going again?"
"Youāre not heading to the battlefield again, are you?" Xia Dongāer asked with care.
"Mother, donāt worry."
"This time, Iām not going to war, but rather Iāve received an invitation from the legendary Guiguzi to visit Guigu."
"Guiguzi."
"He really is a legendary figure."
"Fengāer, youāve truly become accomplished, to actually be invited by Guiguzi."
Xia Dongāer exclaimed in amazement.
Though she never left Sha Village, how could she not know Guiguziās great name?
He is a true hermit sageākings find it hard even to meet him.
Her son receiving such an invitation is truly unparalleled.
Wang Yan
and a few other concubines all gazed at Zhao Feng with admiration.
For a woman,
to marry someone like Zhao Fengāa young talent who commands awe across the landāundoubtedly, itās their blessing.
"Itās because my mother gave birth to me so well." Zhao Feng laughed.
"You brat." Xia Dongāer shot him a glance.
"Right."
"This time when I returned, the Great King specially prepared some gifts for mother, theyāre all in the residence." Zhao Feng suddenly recalled.
"He specially prepared gifts for mother?" Xia Dongāer felt a twinge of nervousness inside.
"Yes."
"After all, mother gave the Great King a general who can conquer and command, so naturally he must reward her well." Zhao Feng laughed.
"Alright, Iāll check out these gifts in a bit." Xia Dongāer nodded with a smile.
...
Main hall of the mansion!
"Master."
"Just received a secret report."
"Shangjiangjun Huan Yi has led his army to consecutively break through several cities of the Chu State."
Zhang Ming came to Zhao Fengās side to report.
"With Huan Yiās command, breaking the Chu Stateās borders isnāt difficult." Zhao Feng said calmly.
Afterward,
"Any movement from Mi Qi of Chenying City?" Zhao Feng asked.
"So far, no visible movements. Right now, heās responsible for the logistics and supply of elite soldiers at Hangu Pass Camp."
"Everything is proceeding smoothly." Zhang Ming replied.
"Keep a close watch."
"If Mi Qi shows any changes, or if Prefecture Soldiers at Chenying City make any move, notify Huan Yi immediately." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Master."
"Isnāt this a bit much?"
"Mi Qi is Fusuās maternal grandfather, royal kin to the nation. He wouldnāt betray Qin, would he?" Zhang Ming remarked, a bit surprised.
"People can change."
"Mi Qi was originally of the Royal Family of Chu. If not for changes in Chu, he wouldāve been King of Chu."
"If the Chu offered Mi Qi the throne, would he refuse?" Zhao Feng sneered coldly.
