Zheng Yuming half lying on the bed, looking like an octopus pouncing on him Wu Wangsheng crying and laughing. In the bedroom, Chu Chaohui's mouth turned down, Queen Tian was embarrassed, Huo Sihua and Wei Kou covered their mouths and laughed.

"Sheng this time will not be fooled." Wu Wangsheng hugged Zheng Yuming and cried bitterly, and the smell of Chinese medicine in Zheng Yuming's room made Wu Wangsheng afraid.

"Grandmother was like this when she was sick, and so was Father and Marquis when they were sick, and Sheng lost them when he listened to you, and this time Sheng won't go away, and will stay with Ming, so that Ming won't be taken away by Heaven."

When Oh Wang Sung's favorite grandmother and father got sick and took medicine, everyone comforted Oh Wang Sung that he was fine, and as a result, Oh Wang Sung lost his loved ones who loved him and whom he loved. Now that Jung Yoo Min is lying in bed and the smell of medicine is everywhere in the room, Oh Wang Sung's bad feeling immediately occupies his mind.

"Your Majesty, Yuming's injuries are fine, he will heal in a couple of days, and when he is well, he will accompany Your Majesty on an excursion to the Yangtze River." Zheng Yuming was touched, Wu Wangsheng was as intelligent as a child, all the emotions shown were real, Wu Wangsheng's true feelings for Zheng Yuming were clear to see.

"Then let Lone live with Ming until Ming stops taking the medicine." Wu Wangsheng bargained with Zheng Yuming, and after thinking for a moment, he felt that he couldn't leave Queen Tian behind, and hastened to add. "Well, Qiang also lives here, the three of us live together."

As soon as Wu Wangsheng's words fell, the corners of Chu Zhaohui's mouth skewed even lower, and Queen Tian's face turned red in addition to being even more embarrassed. Huo Si Hua and Wei Kou simply covered their mouths and turned to face the door.

"The king is wrong!" Chu Chao Hui walked to Zheng Yuming's bed, his face serious.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Wu Wangsheng had originally wrapped both arms around Zheng Yuming's waist and buried his head in Zheng Yuming's chest, when he heard Chu Chaohui say that he was at fault, he hastily stopped sobbing and raised his head in question.

"The Duke is not sick, how could the Great King assume that the Duke is the same as the previous king." Chu Chao Hui shook his head in denial.

"Obviously taking medicine, how is it not sickness?" Wu Wangsheng loudly retorted.

"The male took the medicine because he was victimized by bad people."

"The bad guys did this to Ming? What about the bad guy? I'm going to slap them!" Wu Wangsheng let go of Zheng Yuming and stood up to look around for the bad guy.

"The bad guys have already been killed by His Excellency, it's just that the Yong Wang who instructed the bad guys hasn't been punished yet." Chu Chaohui let Wu Wangsheng divert his attention in a few words.

"Which mediocre king, I want to teach him a lesson!" Wu Wangsheng jumped to his feet, fearing that he would not be able to teach the bad guy a lesson when he was late.

"It's that Faint King of Tang!" Huo Sihua hatefully said the king behind the assassination who instructed Kui Ji.

"It's this bad guy again! Great General quickly lead the army to destroy that bad monarch! Don't spare him this time!" King Wu Sheng remembered King Tang because when Marquis Xi was seriously ill, King Tang was still robbing the East Sea coast.

"The humble minister obeys the order!" Chu Chaohui discreetly expressed his compliance with the order. "Your Majesty, I will convey Your Majesty's decree to the whole country tomorrow."

"Good good good!" Wu Wangsheng clapped his hands and happily jumped to sit beside Zheng Yuming, taking credit with him. "Ming, Lone helped you out! You must get well quickly."

Zheng Yuming smiled and touched King Wu's chubby face with love in his eyes, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Yuming's body will be fine and will take care of the country for Your Majesty."

"And accompany Lone to tour the Yangtze River!" Wu Wangsheng reminded the focus.

"Well, this Yuming guarantees!" Zheng Yuming high-fived Wu Wangsheng to assure him.

Queen Tian, who had been standing on the sidelines without making a sound, put her heart down. When there were more guards outside the palace and Huo Sihua and Wei Kou did not return, Queen Tian became anxious, fearing that there would be some kind of mutiny. A few days later Wei Kou returned, Queen Tian hid Wu Wangsheng secretly asked Wei Kou, only to know that Zheng Yuming was assassinated. A few days later, the South Newspaper newspaper published Zheng Yuming's life is in danger. Although Queen Tian knew from Wei Kou that Zheng Yuming was out of danger, she couldn't help worrying after reading the newspaper.

Wu Wangsheng relies on Zheng Yuming and Chu Chao Hui to sit firmly in the position of the king of Wu, if Zheng Yuming is not good, Wu Wangsheng's throne will certainly not be guaranteed, the throne is not guaranteed to the people who can not save their lives. Queen Tian and Wu Wangsheng are one and the same, Wu Wangsheng's fate is her fate.

Seeing Zheng Yuming's face looking good today, Queen Tian completely let go of her worries.

Only one day after the South Newspaper published the news of Zheng Yuming's assassination, the Wen Wei Po newspaper, sponsored by Kangcheng Fanjin, also published the news. As with the South, the report added fuel to the fire of Zheng Yuming's injuries, with both papers saying in unison that Zheng Yuming had been wounded by the assassin to the point that he was hanging on by a thread.

The news that the King of Tang had sent his assassin, Kui Ji, to assassinate Zheng Yuming quickly spread throughout the Kingdom of Wu as the newspapers were distributed. All parts of the Kingdom of Wu were boiling, and the people everywhere were chanting for revenge. The entire country seemed like boiling hot water.

As if by agreement, Fan Zin opened a speech at the North College of Kangcheng, and Wang Jie delivered a speech at the South College of Dacheng, both of them with the same content, strongly denouncing the iniquitous behavior of the Tang King.

After Chu Chao Hui promulgated the edict of King Wu Sheng to the whole country for the suppression of Tang, the whole country operated as fast as an oiled machine. Zhou Cheng sent his army to blockade the border, and at the mouth of the throat Wei Qing gathered his army, and after gathering his army, he marched to the northeast county. Wei Ren rushed to the military camp on the outskirts of Kangseong and selected 20,000 soldiers to prepare for the north. The factories in the Ulsan area began to work overtime, and a steady stream of supplies from all over the region was concentrated towards the river crossings.

Across the long river in Nambu were the Eagle Tribe settlement and the Su Plain, both of which had been effectively owned by Wu even though Wu had not yet set up a county here. The tribesmen of the Eagle Tribe, in a rare occurrence, gathered together for a general meeting.

"My Eagle Tribe was lifted out of poverty with the help of Duke Ming, and with the assistance of Duke Ming and the Great General, we defeated the Tiger Tribe's invasion, not only preserving our homeland, but also avenging our past shame. Now that Duke Ming has been jeopardized by the Mediocre King, is my Eagle Tribe not going to say anything?" Standing in the center of the meeting place was Tuosu, the son of Eagle Tribe's chief Tuoxiong, and Yu Kui's brother-in-law.

"Of course not! It is not the behavior of an Eagle Tribe warrior to stand idly by without avenging his benefactor!" Once Tuosu's words fell, the Eagle Tribesmen began to stir, and the people who agreed with Tuosu rose and fell with each other, with the young people being the most resolute in their attitudes.

"Su is ready to petition the Great General to go to the battlefield, those who want to go together will follow Tuo Su to the Dacheng County House tomorrow to petition."

"Tuosu, you're not a soldier, you're the deputy director of the Nambu Security Bureau, how can you go to the front line?" Tuo Xiong knocked on the table to remind his son of his identity.

Tuosu looked full of concern, "Suu has already resigned before today's meeting."

Takao's mouth was wide open, one finger pointing at Takusu as he stuttered, "Hoo... Nonsense..."

An elder of the Eagle Tribe comforted Tuoxiong, "Just let the young people make a mess, it's not bad for the Eagle Tribe to produce a general."

Seeing someone's support and backing, Tuosu became stronger and stronger in front of his father, and in the end, the Eagle Tribe elected more than a hundred warriors to follow Tuosu to the Dacheng County Palace to petition.

Inside a newly built green brick house in a village some twenty miles outside Kang, Boss Mao, already a soldier, bids farewell to his wife and son.

"Child's mother, take good care of the child at home, when I go to the Tang Kingdom to teach the Yong King a lesson, I'll come back and buy you jewelry." What Boss Mao was holding in his hand was his three-year-old son, who was born in the first year of King Wu's sheng, when Mao Zhu Zi, along with Mao Zhu Zi from the same village, had just become a reserve soldier.

"I don't want jewelry, just your safe return!" Boss Mao's wife began to worry when she heard that her husband was going to follow General Maren to the border to fight with Tang.

"Children's mother rest assured, I in the military camp in addition to literacy, each skill rating is excellent, against the Tang army, must be invincible." Boss Mao is willing to work hard, but willing to work hard can't make him remember better, he is very poor in culture, just because of the culture is too poor, turned into a regular soldier for two years or an ordinary soldier, unlike Mao Zhu Zi, who has already been mixed up to the squad leader.

"Father, when you see the Younger King beat him up a few more times." Boss Mao's daughter pleaded with him.

"This one is a certainty."

Boss Mao freed one hand to pinch his eight-year-old daughter's cheeks. He had rented a private house specifically for his daughter to stay in in order for her to attend elementary school in Kangcheng. After Boss Mao's transfer from reserve soldier, his monthly salary had been able to support his family, and Boss Mao had long since fulfilled his promise to buy new clothes for his wife and daughter.

"When are you leaving?" Boss Mao's wife was ready to pack her husband's things.

"We'll leave first thing in the morning, you don't need to prepare things for me, the troops have everything." Boss Mao stopped his wife from moving.

"Then you go to father and mother to say goodbye." Boss Mao's wife hugged her son.

"Well, I'm on my way."

Boss Mao went alone to say goodbye to his parents, and when he met them, he did not look as relaxed as when he faced his wife and children.

"Father! Mother! I will be accompanying the army to avenge the Duke's death, so please take care of your father and mother while you are away."

"It is proper to avenge your son!" Boss Mao's parents with their two youngest sons split up with their eldest son, and although the house at home is now not built into a brick house like the eldest son's, the conditions at home are several times better than they were four years ago.

"Father! Mother! Swords and knives are blind on the battlefield, if my child is unfortunate on the battlefield, I ask my father and mother to take more care of the two children; the child's mother is still young, so it's best to persuade her to remarry." Boss Mao didn't think he had a short life, but he was prepared for the eventuality.

"This..." Boss Mao's parents hesitated, if their eldest son died in battle and their daughter-in-law remarried, their two grandchildren would be orphans, how could they rely on them alone to bring them up.

"Father! Mother! Don't worry about the two children, the official government will raise them until they are eighteen." If a soldier of Wu died in battle, his family would receive a large pension, and the underage children in the soldier's family would be given living expenses by the government until the children reached the age of eighteen.

Boss Mao's parents listened to their son's explanations, and only after their eldest son pleaded repeatedly did they agree that if their son was unfortunate, their daughter-in-law would stay and go free.

After explaining everything, Boss Mao returned to the barracks early the next morning to report with Mao Zhuzi from the same village. In the afternoon of the same day, Boss Mao's troop took a boat from Gao Ma Di Ferry to Northeast County, and arrived at the border of Northeast County in a week to meet up with Zhou Cheng's and Wei Qing's troops.

The Wu army was dispatched quickly, and in just a month's time, the Wu army had 80,000 troops stationed at the Tang borders, and there was a steady stream of ships transporting supplies to the Northeast County via the sea and inland rivers, and the river ports within the Northeast County were busy. The news reached the capital of the Tang Kingdom, and the whole court of the Tang Kingdom panicked.
