The eunuch's wife was wearing linen clothes, with a round face, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and low eyebrows. She walked in and bowed deeply to Long Chen: "Family Zhao Fan, please pay your respects to King Wu."
The prefect’s wife’s real surname was Fan. Because she married Zhao Lun, she took her husband’s surname, so she called herself Zhao Fan.
This Mrs. Fan is round and round, not very beautiful, but she has a very upright appearance, and she looks like a good wife and loving mother.
"No gift, madam."
Long Chen responded lightly and looked at the woman behind him.
This woman has an oval face, peach blossom eyes, a small mouth, and a low nose bridge. She looks very gentle, but her eyes have a sense of perseverance.
"This is my little daughter Zhao Ying. Xiaoying has not yet paid her respects to King Wu."
Zhao Fan noticed Long Chen's gaze and immediately turned around to ask her daughter to pay her respects to Long Chen.
Zhao Ying took half a step forward and said: "Little girl Zhao Ying, please pay your respects to King Wu."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "No courtesy, please sit down. I don't like too much courtesy."
Zhao Fan paid homage and said, "Thank you, King Wu."
The two of them sat down generously on the left side.
This prefect's mansion originally belonged to Zhao Lun, and Zhao Fan and Zhao Ying had always lived here, so there was nothing to restrict them.
The two of them looked elegant and elegant, and Long Chen secretly admired in his heart: Rich families are just different.
If it were anyone else, their legs would be shaking with fear when they saw Long Chen.
In Xixia, Long Chen's reputation was not good. He was known to be murderous and lustful.
The two women came in alone and were not afraid at all.
"I wonder why Madam came to see me today?"
Long Chen got straight to the point and asked them directly what they were here for.
Are you seeking revenge against yourself? Or for other things.
Zhao Fan stood up and bowed to Long Chen: "I don't dare to hide anything. I have something to ask of King Wu."
Long Chen felt strange in his heart, Zhao Fan wanted something from him?
What are you begging for? Kill her husband again?
"I wonder what Madam wants?"
Zhao Fan bowed deeply to Long Chen and said, "Please ask King Wu to accept my daughter as a general!"
As soon as these words came out, Long Chen was stunned.
Accept Zhao Ying as general?
Does this mean that Zhao Fan wants her daughter Zhao Ying to defect to Long Chen?
Isn't this too funny?
Long Chen assassinated Zhao Lun, and Zhao Fan actually wanted to send his daughter to Long Chen's command? Isn't this acknowledging a thief as a father?
"This...isn't appropriate."
Long Chen didn't know how to answer for a while.
Killing Zhao Lun and then taking in his daughter is too unkind.
Previously, Zhao Lun, as the governor of Yangcheng in Western Xia, was an enemy, so it was reasonable for Long Chen to send someone to assassinate him.
But after killing Zhao Lun, then accepting his daughter would be too much.
Long Chen is not the kind of person who has no bottom line.
Fighting on the battlefield returns to fighting on the battlefield, and the moral bottom line cannot be breached.
"My king is King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and my wife is the widow of the governor of Xixia. It is really inappropriate for you to make your concubine one of my king's generals!"
"Although I and Governor Zhao are enemies, I have always admired you. Governor Zhao is now martyred for his country and is a loyal minister of Xixia."
"If Madam allows your concubine to defect to me, the reputation of Governor Zhao will be ruined for the rest of his life."
Long Chen spoke sincerely and thought about Zhao Fan at all times.
This is indeed true. If Zhao Ying defected to Long Chen, Zhao Lun would become a traitor and his reputation of sacrificing his loyalty to the country would be lost.
Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Zhao Fan couldn't help but shed tears and cried: "King Wu knew clearly that his deceased husband was loyal to the country, but in the end he was killed by a traitor. The slave family does not care about the court, they only want to avenge their deceased husband!"
Hearing these words, Long Chen was stunned and speechless... Zhao Lun was killed by a traitor? What the hell?
It was obviously Long Chen who was looking for Wanjinlou to attack, so how could he be the cause of a traitor?
"Madam, what you mean...Zhao Taishou is not...oh...I'm just saying, Zhao Taishou was in his prime, why did he suddenly die suddenly!"
"Which traitor did this?"
Long Chen wanted to know who Zhao Fan should blame for this debt.
Zhao Fan said in a sad and angry tone: "Privy Envoy Lu Qichang!"
Long Chen was shocked, it turned out that Zhao Fan had put the blame on Lu Qichang!
"Lu Qichang is the privy envoy, and he has some trouble with Governor Zhao?"
Long Chen couldn't understand why Zhao Fan suspected Lu Qichang.
Zhao Fan said: "On that day, the king appointed his deceased husband as a Taiwei. As a privy envoy, Lu Qichang naturally did not want to be deprived of military power, so he sent someone to poison my husband!"
"Afterwards, the slave family heard that he was drinking and celebrating at home, and his crime was obvious, but the king... Shi Le did not deal with it, and even said that his late husband was killed by King Wu!"
Long Chen thought to himself: Shi Le's guess is quite accurate!
"Lu Qichang is Queen Lu's biological brother. Shi Le must be interested in Lu Qichang. There is nothing we can do about it."
Long Chen said something.
Zhao Fan wiped her tears and said angrily: "That's it. The king is unfair. The slave family cannot let their late husband die miserably, so they want their daughter to follow the general to fight and destroy this decadent Xixia!"
Long Chen somewhat admired Zhao Fan, a woman could have such courage.
However, Long Chen still couldn't agree.
"I understand Madam's mood, but marching and fighting is extremely dangerous!"
"I suggest that my wife and her family move to the Great Zhou Dynasty. There will be a war in Xixia, and I will be destroyed in the Southern Liang Dynasty. Only the Great Zhou Dynasty will be peaceful and without war."
Long Chen saw that the mother and daughter were pitiful, and sincerely hoped that they would not get involved in the war again.
Zhao Ying stood up and said: "I have practiced martial arts and know how to fight!"
Zhao Ying is young, has both a heroic spirit and a childish spirit about him, and looks unruly and unruly when he speaks.
"No rudeness, sit down!"
Zhao Fan quickly reprimanded him.
Long Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, children's words are not forbidden."
Zhao Ying felt very unhappy when Long Chen said she was a child.
In ancient times, 18-year-olds were by no means children, and most of them were already married and had children.
"Does King Wu think that I am not good at martial arts? If King Wu is worried that I am not good at martial arts, I can give it a try!"
Zhao Ying's words made Long Chen amused.
How dare a little kid talk about competition?
Zhao Fan was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly worshiped: "My little girl is ignorant, please forgive me, King Wu!"
Zhao Ying was ignorant, but Zhao Fan knew how powerful Long Chen was. Shi Le and Kong Ji were no match. Cavalry General Fu Yong and his gang all died at the hands of Long Chen.
How could Zhao Ying's three-legged cat kung fu be compared to Long Chen's?
Long Chen smiled and said: "You have courage, but your martial arts skills are too poor. If you go to the battlefield, you will die!"
"Don't worry, madam, I promise you that when I conquer Xingqing City, I will definitely give Lu Qichang's to you to commemorate Governor Zhao."
No matter what, Long Chen was unwilling to take Zhao Ying in.
It is unjust to kill his father and take his daughter!
When Zhao Fan saw that Long Chen firmly disagreed, she couldn't insist anymore.
"Thank you very much, King Wu. When my late husband was here, I hoarded a lot of food in the city. I didn't tell Shi Le about this. I will present it to King Wu today."
"The food is on the ground in the backyard, just open the bed in the master bedroom."
Long Chen was embarrassed by this mother and daughter.
Killing her husband, sending her daughter over, and giving away the food left by Zhao Lun was really... embarrassingly satisfying.
"Thank you so much, madam."
Long Chen didn't know what to say, so he just said thank you.
Zhao Fan paid his respects and said, "I only hope that King Wu will break through Xingqing City as soon as possible and kill the foolish king and treacherous ministers!"
Long Chen said: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely kill Shi Le with my own hands."
Zhao Fan paid his respects, got up and took Zhao Ying out.
Zhao Ying was unwilling to give in and kept looking back at Long Chen.
