Home/ I [Imperial] Am This Type of Man/ Chapter 3
Ji Jinrong turned around and looked at the man who was close at hand.
This person has a straight waist and shoulders, his facial features are strong, and his skin has a slight bronze color because of a long military career, while his beautiful muscles seem to be squeezed out of the iron armor—— This man is actually known as the King of Zhennan among the masses. And he was accompanied by a fiery red horse, which looked somewhat young, but with bright eyes and strong hooves, it looked like a high quality horse!
After “borrowing” the original owner’s body, Ji Jinrong had also practiced horse riding and archery a few times, and he is very passionate about this thing that he could not touch before.
These days Ji Jinrong deliberately learned a lot about horses— it was because of several contacts with him that He Tai dared to approach him directly. Thinking about the matter, Ji Jinrong withdrew his gaze from the fiery red horse and turned back to look at the Zhennan King.
Facing Ji Jinrong’s gaze, the King of Zhennan’s scalp tingled slightly. He knelt down on one knee and saluted: “Your Majesty.”
At the moment when he saw the Zhennan King, Ji Jinrong felt a bit dazed, as if he saw Wei Tingjun standing in front of him.
It can be seen that the Zhennan King saluted the “original owner”, and Ji Jinrong came back to his senses.
If it was Wei Tingjun, he would never salute anyone other than him.
If Wei Tingjun wasn’t the ambitious Zhennan King in this world, who else would it be?
Ji Jinrong wanted to say “no need to be too polite”, but found himself stuttering again, so he could only step forward and stretch out his hand to help: “No need.”
Changsun Meng was very surprised.
The Zhennan King is a famous murderer, and even he is afraid of the evil spirit on this person’s body. Unexpectedly, Ji Jinrong, who is usually very timid, dares to come forward to help the Zhennan King! Ji Jinrong’s performance just now was enough to surprise him and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
But in the next moment, Changsun Meng’s eyes widened and he was completely dumbfounded.
Ji Jinrong was also stunned.
Ji Jinrong originally never encountered this Zhennan King at all. Unexpectedly, this is a real person, who was now firmly grasping his hands with his iron-like palms, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free.
When the King of Zhennan stood up, Ji Jinrong realized that the other party was half a head taller than himself, and he was only as tall as this person’s nose.
Seeing this King of Zhennan still holding onto his hand, Ji Jinrong scolded him angrily, “Presumptuous!”
After being scolded, the Zhennan King let go of the hand he was holding: “This minister was reckless, please forgive me, Your Majesty.” Admitting a mistake is fine, but there was no sign of remorse in those aggressive eyes. He smiled brightly, “I am just happy in my heart.”
Ji Jinrong’s heart skipped a beat, and a hint of confusion flashed through his eyes.
The Zhennan King naturally explained: “I am just happy because of His Majesty’s trust in me.”
Ji Jinrong asked his Changsun Meng to carry Duke Wei into the soft sedan chair, and let the imperial physician treat him.
Seeing that the King of Zhennan had no intention of retreating, Ji Jinrong struggled for a moment and spoke up, “Is the suppression of bandits in the south going well?” Although the original owner had no knowledge of the outside world, the whereabouts of the Zhennan King was still clear.
The King of Zhennan was only half a step behind Ji Jinrong, with a clear smell of blood coming from his body. Ji Jinrong looked at his silver armor and found that it was shining with crimson blood, this person hadn’t even wiped off the blood yet.
The King of Zhennan said: “Everything is going well, the bandits have been wiped out.” He approached quietly, almost sticking to Ji Jinrong, “I returned from the south gate and rushed over when I heard that His Majesty was personally coming to the north gate. I didn’t even have time to change my armor. Your Majesty was very abrupt, you should take care of your health.”
Ji Jinrong: “…”
If you really feel that it was abrupt, then don’t stick so close to me!
However, the King of Zhennan said this very sincerely with concern in his eyes, so Ji Jinrong couldn’t say anything. In the end, he could only nod, “Hmm.”
He brought the red horse to Ji Jinrong and said, “This horse was obtained by this minister from the north. I originally intended to present it to His Majesty when seeking an audience next time. Now that I am already here, why don’t His Majesty use this horse as a transport first?”
Ji Jinrong really liked the red horse, so he nodded, “Okay.”
The Zhennan King had a slight smile in his eyes, but he didn’t show it on his face.
While leading the red horse, his burning eyes were fixed on Ji Jinrong all the time, but the topic in his mouth changed suddenly: “The matter of the Imperial College is very strange. If your majesty trusts me, I am willing to share your worries.”
Ji Jinrong quieted down.
Although this matter was not done by the King of Zhennan, it cannot change the fact that this person has a lot of power in his hands. This person gave him a very bad feeling, his eyes seemed to be always fixed on himself, which was very similar to the feeling Wei Tingjun gave him before, but he is much more presumptuous than Wei Tingjun, as if he was using his gaze to rape every inch of his body.
This realization left Ji Jinrong stunned.
In the past, the late emperors were very licentious and extravagant. He and Wei Tingjun once ran into the former emperor and a man rolling together in the pavilion. Wei Tingjun was still an ignorant boy at that time, and when he saw that immoral scene, he almost screamed and attracted other people’s attention—— Fortunately, he covered Wei Tingjun’s mouth in time.
Although Ji Jinrong has never really tasted such things as lust, he is not unfamiliar with it at all.
On the contrary, Wei Tingjun was truly an innocent person. At that time, even the back of his neck turned red when he realized it, and he ran away with a red face.
That’s right, that’s the difference.
The King of Zhennan is very similar to Wei Tingjun, but Wei Tingjun would never look at him with that kind of gaze.
Wei Tingjun had a sweetheart in his heart. At the beginning, he tried to find a beautiful woman for Wei Tingjun, but Wei Tingjun firmly refused, saying: “I already have someone I like.”
He always wanted Wei Tingjun to bring his sweetheart to see, but he couldn’t wait until that day.
When Ji Jinrong was lost in his thoughts, the other party spoke again, calling out as if urging him to agree: “Your Majesty?”
The power in the court is in the hands of the Zhennan King, so there is no room for Ji Jinrong to object. He could only agree, “Okay.”
The Zhennan King said: “I will report the progress of this matter to Your Majesty in time.”
Then he handed the reins to Ji Jinrong, “If His Majesty has no other orders, I will leave first.”
Ji Jinrong nodded slightly and took the reins from him.
Seeing that Ji Jinrong took it, the smile in the other party’s eyes became even more intense, but his tone was calm and natural: “I will help His Majesty get on the horse.”
Before Ji Jinrong could object, the broad palm of the other party was already resting on his waist. The tyrannical and savage masculine aura tightly surrounded Ji Jinrong, giving him a trembling sensation on his back.
The Zhennan King’s eyes were clear and he asked in confusion, “Your Majesty?” His tone sounded very innocent, as if he was just an impolite barbarian, not understanding what he had done wrong.
Was the oppressive feeling that was full of aggression just now his illusion?
Ji Jinrong was puzzled, but finally came back to his senses. With a push on his feet, he climbed onto the horse’s back with the help of the other party’s force on his waist.
The Zhennan King stood in place and respectfully sent Ji Jinrong away.
When Ji Jinrong’s back disappeared, the Zhennan King turned his head to look at He Tai who was standing still with his head bowed, and said, “You don’t need to go to the stable.”
He Tai’s heart jumped.
The Zhennan King said: “Go and serve by His Majesty’s side.”
It’s the same in both the palace and the court. What the new emperor says doesn’t matter. The Zhennan King asked a servant to do some errands, which is equivalent to giving the servant a grace. He Tai knelt down and kowtowed: “This little one obeys.”
The King of Zhennan didn’t seem to notice that what he was doing was a big favor to a servant, and he walked towards the other side of the imperial city.
He Tai knelt on the ground for a while before standing up and running to the Department of Internal Affairs to switch jobs.
On the other side, Ji Jinrong quickly returned to Zhengyang Palace.
As soon as Ji Jinrong dismounted, someone immediately stepped forward to lead the horse away from him.
Without the presence of the Zhennan King, Ji Jinrong gradually calmed down. He rummaged through the memories of the “original owner”, and found that he would tremble with fright every time he saw that person. He didn’t know if this King of Zhennan now was different from before.
Ji Jinrong knew what that person was hiding in those eyes!
In addition to ambition, there is also a deep desire hidden in those eyes!
Ji Jinrong wanted to ask who this so-called “powerful existence” would be if it wasn’t the King of Zhennan who wanted to usurp the throne according to everyone. But he found that the system didn’t respond, as if it had disappeared from his mind.
Ji Jinrong: “…”
This thing won’t be so unreliable. After throwing him here, it won’t disappear, right? Thinking of having to deal with that Zhennan King, Ji Jinrong felt a headache.
In the past, Ji Jinrong had to divide the pitiful scarce time he had when he was awake to do several things, and had no time to think about these issues. His sickly body also would not have the slightest desire.
If the Zhennan King wants not only the throne, but also this body, what should he do? Ji Jinrong considered whether to find a dagger for self-defense.
Unexpectedly, there are still so many troubles even without the illness!
Ji Jinrong thought of Duke Wei and his grandson and his gaze moved. So instead of going back to Zhengyang Palace, he turned to the Imperial Medical Office to see how Duke Wei is doing.
The imperial physician was consulting with Duke Wei, and Changsun Meng was nervously walking back and forth, fearing that something might happen to his grandfather.
Duke Wei was originally supported by a surge of blood. Seeing that the matter of the Imperial College was over, and Ji Jinrong showed his another extraordinary side, Duke Wei’s whole heart fell, and his sickness also burst out.
Ji Jinrong was worried, so he walked to the desk and wrote a prescription with the well-grounded ink. This is the life-saving medicine he used to take, called Baisui Pill, which is used to help people take care of their bodies and prolong their lives.
Of course, the effect of the medicine is not that miraculous, at least it didn’t let him live beyond the age of eighteen.
However, there are no strong medicinal herbs used in this pill, and their medicinal properties are also mild. They are still useful when taken in daily life and won’t kill anyone.
Ji Jinrong asked a skilled imperial physician to take the prescription for detailed reference.
Several imperial physicians had already prescribed medicine for Duke Wei, and they were a little disapproving of Ji Jinrong’s prescription. But after looking at the prescription, they were a little dazed.
This hundred year old pill is so perfect !
It is said that medicine is three times toxic, but this hundred year old pill has leveled off the toxicity, leaving only the effect of cleaning up dirt and nourishing the body. The most important thing is that the medicinal materials used in this pill are not expensive or rare, and can be mixed in batches, even ordinary people can afford to use them!
The imperial physicians were excited when they saw the words “Hundred Year Old Pill” on the paper, and they looked at Ji Jinrong with radiant eyes. They all knelt down in unison: “His Majesty is truly a blessing for the common people!”
Ji Jinrong: “…”
