Zhao Sheng, Lord of Yao, looked at Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao with his eyes, recalling in his mind the scene when he first met Zhao Yuanli, King Yi of the Zhao family of Wei State. At that time, Zhao Yuanli had roughly explained to him about Zongwei.
thing.
In fact, the Wei family in Longxi also has functions similar to that of a clan. The Wei family in Longxi is respectfully called the clan elders meeting, which is where the heads of the various branches of the Ji clan in Longxi go after abdicating the throne.
The power of the Council of Elders is very great, and it is the only entity in the Longxi Wei State system that can restrain the monarchy. From this point of view, the Zhao family Wei State probably borrowed this system from the Longxi Wei State, and established a system on this basis.
Zongfu.
However, the Wei State of Longxi did not have Zongwei with a special status like the Zhao clan Wei State. Therefore, it is not surprising that the concubine named Hou Dan mistakenly classified the Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao as
Ordinary guard.
However, to the surprise of Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao, and Hou Dan, the concubine chief, Wei Jiao, the "little guard", showed no intention of flinching amidst Hou Dan's scolding. On the contrary, his face became darker and darker.
When he came down, he asked coldly: "Captain Hou Dan?...Why did you sneer just now?"
The entire Daliang delegation was silent, even Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yuanli were silent at this moment, because they did not think Wei Jiao had done anything wrong. As a Zongwei, they could only watch the object of their loyalty being laughed at innocently.
, this is dereliction of duty!
"Why?...Why are you sneering?"
With his eyes open and staring intently at Hou Dan, the concubine chief, Wei Jiao walked forward expressionlessly, passed Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanli, and Zhao Hongrun, and stood in front of the former.
At this moment, even if Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao, and Hou Dan, the concubine chief, did not understand the situation of the Zhao family in Wei, they could vaguely see that the man in front of them who claimed to be the chief of the clan was definitely not an ordinary guard.
Otherwise, how would you dare to cross Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanli and Zhao Hongrun and stand face to face in front of Hou Dan, the commander-in-chief?
"You..." Hou Dan, the concubine chief, looked at Wei Jiao who was very close at hand. He was shocked and angry. He had never been forced to such an extent.
But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanli, and Zhao Hongrun. He saw that these three members of the royal family with the surname Ji and Zhao had no intention of stopping them at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"Why the cold smile?" Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao could be said to have almost put his face in front of the concubine chief Hou Dan, and the distance between their noses was probably only one finger.
hateful!
Hou Dan, the concubine, turned red angrily, and subconsciously grabbed the sword hanging on his left waist with his right hand. At this moment, Wei Jiao seemed to have a premonition, and without changing his eyes, he stretched out his right hand to hold down the sword.
He grabbed the hilt of the sword at Hou Dan's waist, forcefully pulled out the small half of Hou Dan's sword and pressed it back into the scabbard.
"Shh~" Zongwei Mu Qing whistled, looking at Wei Jiao with envy, who was in the limelight, and murmured: "Why can't I get such a prestigious and good thing..."
"You?" Lu Mu turned his head and glanced at Mu Qing's small body, and answered him with a sarcastic chuckle: Even if you go up, you will probably just be embarrassed.
After all, although Wei Jiao's strength is not as strong as Chu Heng's, he is still ranked among the top three among the clan guards around Zhao Hongrun. As for Mu Qing, due to his age, if he had to fight for strength, he would probably be at the bottom.
Such great strength...
Hou Dan, the concubine chief, was shocked. He gritted his teeth and tried to pull out the sharp sword, but Wei Jiao suppressed him tightly, preventing him from moving.
Looking at this scene, Lord Yao Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of surprise. He was surprised that the man who called himself Zongwei actually had the power to suppress the chief Hou Dan, and he was also shocked that Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanli, and Zhao Hongrun were actually here.
Under such circumstances, he still refused to stop.
What's going on?
Zhao Sheng, Lord Yao, paid careful attention to the faces of Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanli, and Zhao Hongrun. He found that Zhao Yuanyan, as the officiating officer, was frowning at the moment, but he did not stop it; while Zhao Yuanli looked like he was watching the show.
posture; and what surprised Yao Zhujun Zhao Sheng the most was the little guy who claimed to be Zhao Hongrun. He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and there was no worry at all on his face, as if he was not worried about what his guards were doing.
What punishment will you receive afterwards?
Something's wrong...something's wrong...
Zhao Sheng, Lord Yao, felt something was wrong in his heart. He frowned, then came to Hou Dan and Wei Jiao, stretched out his hands and put one on their shoulders, and said to Wei Jiao with a smile: "
This Zongwei Chief, I think Hou Danshu Chief did not mean it, this may be a misunderstanding, for the sake of Zhao's face, how about exposing this matter?"
While speaking, he also turned to look at Zhao Yuanyan.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanyan coughed and said to Zhao Hongrun in a calm tone: "Hongrun, that's it."
"Ha." Under the increasingly surprised gaze of Yao Lord Zhao Sheng, Zhao Hongrun smiled brightly, shrugged and said, "Second uncle has spoken, how dare my nephew disobey? Wei Jiao, come back."
"Yes!" Wei Jiao responded, letting go without hesitation, turning around and walking towards his original position.
At this time, there was only a loud sound, and the concubine Hou Dan, who had no resistance from Wei Jiao, finally pulled out the sword from the scabbard. But just when he was about to take action with a face full of shame, Yao Zhujun
However, Zhao Sheng firmly grasped the hand on his shoulder and forcefully pulled Hou Dan back, who was about to rush towards Wei Jiao.
At the same time, he looked at Zhao Hongrun with an incredible look.
He had a vague feeling that the short young man not far away might be more than just the eighth son of the leader of the Zhao family.
And just when he was about to open his mouth to save the atmosphere, he saw the short junior of the Tong family looking at the concubine Hou Dan, squinting his eyes and saying with a smile: "Consecrated Chief Hou Dan... Ha, yes, I will remember you.
Already."
After hearing this, Hou Dan's expression changed slightly, because at that moment, he seemed to have the illusion that he was being stared at by a wild beast, so that the resentment in his heart against Wei Jiao was completely eliminated in an instant.
But when he calmed down and looked at Zhao Hongrun carefully again, he could no longer regain the feeling of being in an ice cave.
Is it an illusion?
Hou Dan, the concubine chief, frowned slightly, and under the look of Zhao Sheng, Lord Yao, he still put the sharp sword in his hand back into the scabbard with a hint of anger.
Seeing this, Lord Yao Zhao Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he also understood that the Wei clan in Longxi was now dependent on others. If there was a stalemate with the Zhao clan and the Wei state, wouldn't they lose their last refuge?
So, he pretended that the scene just now had not happened at all, and introduced with a smile: "I think you all know each other, Hou Dan, the commander-in-chief, is a very brave warrior in Longxi. Well, I am here to welcome you today.
The troops under your honor were trained by Chief Hou Dan, and they are all our good men from Longxi."
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanyan looked around a few times and saw the Longxi Wei soldiers standing upright. He was a little surprised. After all, in his expectation, the Longxi Wei army was defeated by the Qin army.
Longxi was lost, so he thought that the Wei army in Longxi might have been defeated by the Qin army.
Unexpectedly, the Longxi Wei army in front of him could still retain some fighting spirit, which made Zhao Yuanyan feel mixed.
The happy thing is that as long as the Longxi Wei family is integrated into the Zhao family's Wei state, these Longxi Wei soldiers can also become a help to the country; the worrying thing is that since the Longxi Wei family still retains a certain military strength, this means that the Zhao family's
It becomes increasingly difficult for the Wei State to manipulate the other side at will, otherwise once internal fighting is provoked, I really don’t know what the situation will be like.
"It's really majestic and mighty." Zhao Yuanyan praised.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hongrun was heard interjecting with a smile: "You sent such a majestic and mighty army to greet us. Is it intentional to intimidate?"
…
Zhao Sheng, Lord Yao, was slightly shocked.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun's guess was not wrong. The real reason why Lord Yao Zhao Sheng brought 10,000 Longxi Wei soldiers to greet him was that most of the people in the Longxi Wei family did not want to be looked down upon by the Zhao family.
Let Mrs. Zhao understand that the Wei family in Longxi still has strength, and they are not simply fleeing to the branch family in embarrassment to seek shelter.
In fact, brothers Zhao Yuanyan and Zhao Yuanli can also see this kind of thing.
The reason why Zhao Yuanyan didn't stop Wei Jiao from the beginning is because Lord Zongzheng was not happy: Well, in order to take care of your emotions, I, the Zhao family, specially sent an envoy to greet you, and the escort only brought five people.
Hundreds of imperial guards; but you are kind enough to send 10,000 troops here. Could it be that you want to counterattack my Zhao family?
Don't think that Prince Yan has no temper. He just tolerates his unhappiness for the sake of family ties.
Therefore, he didn't mind letting Wei Jiao dampen the opponent's arrogance. Of course, he had to control this measure, not Zhao Hongrun. After all, he really couldn't trust the latter's irritable nephew.
At this time, Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao, smiled and explained: "My nephew has misunderstood. Thousands of people greet him, just because he cares about him, and there is absolutely no evil intention."
"Heh." Zhao Hongrun smiled noncommittally and stopped talking.
A conflict was resolved under the smooth handling of Yao Zhujun Zhao Sheng, but he could not feel happy.
Because he knew that sending 10,000 sergeants to meet this incident today had caused the other party's displeasure, which made him secretly curse those who came up with blind ideas.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Yao Lord Zhao Sheng, the Daliang delegation slowly headed towards Ancheng.
When he got close to Anseong, Zhao Hongrun discovered that several large-scale military camps had been built outside Anseong.
Is the camp deliberately empty, or... does the Wei clan in Longxi really still have that many troops?
Zhao Hongrun frowned slightly, a little uncertain.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed deeply, because he discovered that outside Ancheng City, at the foot of the city wall, there were many simple shacks, and there were a few faint cries and angry curses coming from there.
"My flag of Wei!"
Following a cry of surprise in the distance, hundreds of Wei people, some dressed in ordinary clothes and some dressed in noble clothes, poured out from those shacks, and flocked to the Daliang Mission.
"That adult is in front of you?"
"Sir, you have to make the decision for us..."
"Those evil thieves took over our house..."
Listening to the chaotic shouts, even mixed with a woman's cry, the pupils in Zhao Hongrun's eyes dilated slightly, and a look of shock and anger gradually appeared on his face.
Could it be that the Wei family in Longxi...how dare they?! (To be continued.)
