It is addictive to private visits on a mini-server basis.

Being an emperor has many benefits, but there is one saying that goes, there will be gains and losses.

After Zhao Kuo became emperor, he suddenly realized that he had basically said goodbye to the previous life of being able to go to the folk at will.

Like when Zhao Kuo was still Wu Xinjun of Zhao State before, he only needed to change his clothes and could go to anywhere quietly. Even if the retainers knew about it, they would not say anything.

But it’s different now. As His Majesty the Emperor, Zhao Kuo not only became more busy, but also basically had a large group of imperial guards coming and going, wanting to contact the people?

Sorry, this is really not true.

Being an emperor is basically no different from the gods in the heavens in the hearts of the people.

But the problem is that if the gods in the sky are used for a long time, they will get tired of it.

Humans are such contradictory creatures. They try hard to obtain them when they are not obtained, but after they are obtained, they feel bored and empty again.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo was an emperor after all, and he was the kind of founding emperor who did not dare to object to the slightest, so he could take it for granted that he had private visits without worrying about the opposition of any minister.

Anyway, it's useless for them to object.

Zhao Kuo smiled at Yiqiuwei who was eager to try it around and said, "This time, we will go to the market and buy you and the children some good-looking clothes."

At this time, Suzhou was mainly living in the remnants of Wu and Yue and Chu people. Although the Han Dynasty also immigrated from the Central Plains to this place, it would take some time to become the mainstream.

So at this time, the city market in Suzhou was full of Wu Yue immigrants and Chu people.

"Embroidery, the best embroidery!"

"Embroidery that you can't see in Zhongyuan, come and buy it, the price is easy to say!"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but smile when he heard these familiar hawking sounds, and inexplicably felt like he was returning to modernity.

The Wu Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, so now there are basically no people dressed in Wu Kingdom here, most of whom are dressed in Yue Kingdom.

The dressing of Yue Kingdom is very stylish. Yue Kingdom is actually part of the "Baiyue". Like Chu, they are a barbarian who was influenced by the culture of the Zhou Dynasty, so their clothes and clothing are also very distinctive.

The dressing culture of Yue Kingdom is simply "broken hair tattoo".

In the book "Zhuangzi", it was recorded like this: "The Song Dynasty man was in charge of Zhang Fu and was suitable for Yue, and Yue people stopped their hair and had no use."

It was translated as a Song man who took a hat to Yueguo to sell it, and then found that these Yueguo men had their hair cut short and had tattoos, so the hats could not be sold at all.

So on the street, you can see short-haired people with tattoos everywhere. You can tell at a glance that they are Yue people. It is completely different from the wide robe and big sleeves in the Central Plains, both men and women like to tie their hair buns.

In addition, Yue people also like to use a pigment to dye their teeth black as a symbol of beauty, which is also a habit that is very different from the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly appeared in Zhao Kuo's mind: "That beautiful girl from Yue Country, Xi Shi, can't she also have short hair, black teeth, and tattoos all over her body, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo suddenly couldn't help but feel chills.

But immediately, Zhao Kuo came to his senses. Although the people of Yue were like that, the Wu Kingdom was not.

Wu State is a descendant of the Zhou Dynasty royal family. With the aesthetics of King Helu of Wu, he should not be willing to accept a Yue woman with short hair and black teeth and tattoos all over her body. Therefore, Xi Shi should have the kind of appearance that is more in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people in the Central Plains.

When Zhao Kuo thought of this, he felt relieved for no reason.

At this moment, Yiqiuwei, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but hold Zhao Kuo's hand up and smiled: "You... Husband, hurry up, we're going to buy something!"

Regardless of ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, as long as you are a woman, you will have a natural obsession with shopping.

Soon, Zhao Kuo realized this obsession.

Yiqiuwei was a little unwilling to let go at the beginning, and she bought clothes in one set of ways.

This made Zhao Kuo feel a little sad: "Viere, you have to know that there are more than a dozen people in your family. You can't buy this set of things until dark! Just buy more, we won't be short of money!"

Rather than strolling around with women, Zhao Kuo prefers to use money to solve problems.

Yiqiuwei was obviously understood by Zhao Kuo's words, so in the following shopping time, Yiqiuwei was also very proud. No matter what she bought, she would buy several or even dozens of sets at once. The vendors immediately laughed and said all kinds of flattering words as if they didn't have money.

In short, almost all the vendors in the market knew that a rich man was taking a woman to shop, so they were also staring at Zhao Kuo's direction, hoping that the rich man would come here to buy.

At this moment, several people were also quietly watching Zhao Kuo and his group in the distance.

"Is it him?"

"It should be that he is right."

"How is it? I've already said it. He will definitely be unable to hold back and come out for a private visit."

From this conversation alone, we can tell that these people are not others, but the group of people who have been following Zhao Kuo before.

After a night of rest, they spread out again the next morning, monitoring all the palace gates.

Then, they naturally discovered this low-key carriage.

Out of caution, the leader who presided over the operation this time did not follow up immediately, but asked the others to stay and monitor the palace gate. Then the leader followed him quietly with several of the most capable subordinates of the dead.

It was not until Zhao Kuo appeared in the market that the people in the Congress finally locked in Zhao Kuo's identity based on the portrait.

The leader showed an excited expression on his face and said softly to the subordinates around him: "You will go up together later. When you walk within ten steps of Zhao Kuo, you will ignite the explosives together.

Don't worry, your family is taken care of by our adults, so that they can be carefree and rich for a lifetime!"

In this era, the nobles all like to train some dead soldiers to take action at critical moments.

Except for this leader, all the subordinates present were dead soldiers.

The dead soldiers had obviously been mentally prepared, nodded slowly, and then scattered.

The leader found a remote corner and looked at Zhao Kuo who was still shopping, with a sneer on his lips.

"Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, how cruel the methods you were when you destroyed our Chu State were, how miserable you would be today!"

You should know that each of these dead soldiers was tied with dozens of kilograms of explosives. Several dead soldiers approached to detonate together, and Zhao Kuo definitely had no chance of survival! The leader was full of expectations! At this moment, the leader suddenly noticed something, that was Mao Sui, who had been following Zhao Kuo, suddenly approached Zhao Kuo's ear and said a few words to Zhao Kuo.

The leader was a little uneasy. Could it be that Zhao Kuo noticed something?

But then, the leader thought to himself: "Impossible. If Zhao Kuo really noticed something, then he would not have conducted this private visit."

After such thoughts, the leader felt relieved and quietly waited for the appearance of the dead soldiers.

According to the plan just now, the dead soldiers will disguise themselves as shoppers, slowly approach Zhao Kuo from all directions from this lively market, and then... explode instantly! Back a few seconds ago.

Zhao Kuo was standing, staring at Yiquwei in the store with a smile, walking with a pair of long legs, busy choosing clothes.

At this moment, Mao Sui suddenly leaned over and whispered in Zhao Kuo's ear: "Your Majesty, someone is following us. It seems to be an assassin. Please leave quickly!"

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo was shocked.

assassin?

It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, there are actually many people who want to kill Zhao Kuo, but very few people can find opportunities.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said softly: "How many people are there?"

Mao Sui said: "At present, at least five people have been found, and I don't know if there are weapons.

For safety reasons, please leave quickly.”

Mao Sui was really nervous. If the assassin succeeded, he would be unable to redeem it.

Zhao Kuo was quite calm and said calmly: "If you leave suddenly at this time, the assassin will discover it and take action regardless of everything.

Let's do this, you will immediately make your people pay attention, and if someone takes action, take it off immediately.

Let’s take note of their accomplices, it would be better if they could catch them alive.”

This time, Zhao Kuo also learned from the lessons he learned from Juchao City last time. This time, there were no less than twenty "platyclothes" quietly protected in the market alone, each of which belonged to the "soldier king" level in the army, and it was no problem to beat two hundred people.

At this moment, Yiqiuwei in front had already chosen her clothes and was waving to Zhao Kuo: "Husband, come and take a look at these clothes!"

Zhao Kuo smiled and gave Mao Sui a look to tell him to do business. Then Zhao Kuo walked towards Yiquwei.

Yiqiuwei happily picked up a piece of silk and gestured in front of Zhao Kuo: "Husband, this style is pretty good, it feels very suitable for you."

Zhao Kuo laughed, grabbed Yiqiuwei's hand, and whispered: "Assassin is here, please be careful later and protect yourself."

Yiqiuwei's body was obviously stiff, but immediately became nothing. She turned around and smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Pack up all these clothes for me, I'll want them all!"

A few seconds later, Zhao Kuo and Yiqiuwei walked out of the store.

As soon as he walked out of the shop, several dead men who had been waiting for a long time immediately came over and lifted their clothes, revealing the explosive bag hidden in their arms.

Then, these dead soldiers took out the fire knife and flint at an extremely fast speed and wanted to ignite it.

Mao Sui immediately saw this scene. Mao Sui never expected that these assassins could actually take out a confidential weapon such as gunpowder. He couldn't help but shout: "Protect the car!"

Almost as Mao Sui shouted, many plainclothes who had long been ambushing each other rushed out and instantly subdued the four dead soldiers.

Just as Mao Sui wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly fell on a little girl a few steps away.

At this moment, the little girl, who looked only six or seven years old, was holding a fire knife and flint in a decisive posture and preparing to ignite the explosive pack in her arms! At this distance, if the explosive pack is ignited, no one can escape! Mao Sui shouted: "Be careful with your Majesty!"

Then he jumped over and threw Zhao Kuo down.

Almost at the same time, Yiqiuwei said sweetly: "Stop!"

Then, Yiqiuwei's long legs flew over the air in an instant and knocked away the fire knife and flint in the little girl's hand with one kick.

The little girl was stunned for a moment. Before she could do anything else, a few plainclothes like wolves and tigers rushed up and controlled the little girl.

At this point, all the assassins were taken down! Mao Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at this scene, climbed up from the ground, and said to Zhao Kuo embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I have offended you."
