After a while, Zhao Hongrun and the father of the Wei family sat on opposite sides of a table.
Zhao Hongrun looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile, while the Mr. Wei's father stared at Zhao Hongrun with hateful eyes.
The reason is very simple, because the father-in-law of the Wei family was forcibly pulled out of the cabinet by Shang Shui's soldiers. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes before he was forced to the side of the case.
No wonder the father of the Wei family was so ashamed and angry. After all, looking at the entire Wei family in Longxi, who would dare to be so rude to him?
"Are you the junior from the branch family who calls himself Zhao Run?"
Mr. Wei's father asked in a bitter tone: "You led troops to break into Lao Jun's residence in the middle of the night. What are your intentions?"
It has to be said that a moment ago, when there were loud noises and shouts of killing in the mansion, the father-in-law of the Wei family was greatly frightened and hid in the cupboard out of inexplicable fear. But now, waiting for him to find out, he led the troops.
When the person who broke in turned out to be the arrogant junior from the branch family who called himself Zhao Run, he calmed down.
Maybe he felt that the other person was a junior from a separate family after all, so he didn't dare to do anything to him.
Having guessed this, Zhao Hongrun looked at Mr. Wei with great interest, secretly laughing that Mr. Wei was as scared as an ostrich just now, but now, seeing him as "one of his own",
Yet he acted as if he was fearless.
But, is Zhao Hongrun really one of the Longxi Wei family's "own people"?
"Ha." Zhao Hongrun chuckled and said pleasantly: "The father of the Wei family in Longxi...right? This is what I think. As for people, it is important to know what to say in what kind of situation.
This way, you won’t lose everything you have…”
"Are you threatening me?" When the father of the Wei family heard this, his face showed a strong look of anger, and he cursed through gritted teeth: "Young man who has forgotten his family lineage for many times, is this how you, the Zhao family, treat our family and Laojun?"
As he spoke, a slight sneer appeared on his face, he shook his head and said, "Don't you dare do anything to Laojun..."
"Haha." Zhao Hongrun chuckled and said calmly: "Since you don't want to have a good talk with me, there is no use keeping you. Come, send him back and set fire to this mansion. Let's tonight
Never been here.”
"Yes!" Wu Ji, the general of the Shang Shui Army, and Wei Jiao, the chief of the Zongwei Army, immediately nodded in agreement. They stepped forward and held down the two arms of Mr. Wei's father, and dragged him to the cabinet, preparing to stuff him again.
Go back to the cupboard.
Seeing this, the father of the Wei family was shocked. He did not expect that Zhao Hongrun would actually dare to "regicide" and kill him, the father of the Wei family in Longxi.
"Stop! Stop!" He shouted in horror, because he saw that the junior who separated from the family was really ready to get up and leave.
"...I am willing to have a good discussion with you!" Mr. Wei's father shouted loudly when he was about to be stuffed back into the cabinet.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun, who had already stood up and was about to leave, glanced back and said lightly: "Have you thought about it?"
"Think... think about it." After all, the situation was stronger than the other person. Mr. Wei endured the anger in his heart and finally lowered his arrogant head.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun waved his hand, signaling Wei Jiao and Wu Ji to let go of the Wei family's father, and said to the latter: "Then what are you doing standing there stupidly? Come and sit!"
After that, he sat down in his original position again.
Father Wei gritted his teeth, hesitantly walked to the side of the table and sat down.
At this moment, the father-in-law of the Wei family no longer dared to have any support, because he felt that the younger generation of the Zhao family in front of him was simply a lunatic who had no respect for his elders, no ancestors, and no respect for his family.
Don't you know what will happen if you kill him?
But thinking about it carefully, Mr. Wei finally did not have the courage to risk his own life to test whether the boy opposite him dared or dared not do something, so he returned to his original position honestly.
"What will it take for you to leave with these soldiers?" Mr. Wei asked in a low voice while looking at Zhao Hongrun.
Seeing him clenching his fists as if he was very nervous, Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "You can't wait to drive me away before I even say a few words?"
Father Wei glanced at Zhao Hongrun and said in a low tone: "If you have a choice, I never want to see you again."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun laughed, and then smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry about the future. Whether you can see the sunrise in the early morning is a matter of course."
However, this sentence of comfort not only failed to comfort him, but made Mr. Wei's face change drastically. He finally realized that the other party's murderous intention towards him was not just talk.
"You...you really dare to kill me?" The father of the Wei family looked at Zhao Hongrun and said in a low tone: "I, the Wei family in Longxi, still have tens of thousands of troops. If you dare to kill me, I, the Wei family, will never scream.
It's better for you, Mrs. Zhao..."
"Tens of thousands of troops? It's amazing." Zhao Hongrun nodded, with an exaggerated expression of horror on his face, but he said sarcastically: "Your words really frightened me... I have been for several months.
Former Shang and several other countries attacked the Chu Kingdom, fought with nearly two million Chu troops, and finally captured the Chu capital and returned in triumph... You have nearly a hundred thousand troops, what should you do?"
After hearing this, Father Wei's eyes widened in horror and he was speechless.
No wonder he was so shocked. After all, what is the population of Longxi today? Two million people are almost the total population of Longxi. However, such a large number of enemy troops were actually defeated by this boy from the Separation Family? Even the enemy country was defeated
Have all the royal capitals been captured?
Father Wei suddenly felt that his threat just now was not only ineffective, but actually very ridiculous.
He looked at the soldiers in the room calmly. These people were not looking at him like a fool, and they were sneering contemptuously from time to time.
"What other support is there?" Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mr. Wei's father, and then said calmly: "If there is no other support, then listen carefully to my words. This will determine whether you can still see the early morning sun.
.”
"...Say." Mr. Wei's father clenched his fists and said angrily.
Seeing his expression, Zhao Hongrun didn't care. After adjusting his sitting posture, he asked seriously: "Does the Longxi Wei family have any evil intentions when you come to my country, the Wei Dynasty?"
"What?" Mr. Wei's father was stunned, as if he didn't understand.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and said in more concise words: "Forget it, let me tell you directly... I, the Wei Dynasty, do not need two kings. If you, the Wei family, want to stay in our Wei Dynasty, you must surrender to me.
I am Zhao!"
"Absolutely impossible!" The father of the Wei family immediately objected: "I, the Wei family, are the main family, and you, the Zhao family, are just the branch family. Is there any reason for the main family to submit to the branch family?" When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something.
, after looking around at the soldiers of Shangshui who suddenly became fierce, he swallowed his saliva and whispered: "But... I can guarantee that I, the Wei family, are willing to live in harmony with the Zhao family."
"Coexist in harmony? In my land of Wei?" Zhao Hongrun sneered when he heard this, and said coldly: "It's ridiculous!... Either surrender or get out... Of course, you can also choose the third way and be buried in the
I am Da Wei!"
Looking at Zhao Hongrun's murderous eyes, cold sweat broke out on Mr. Wei's forehead. The heat caused by anger immediately receded when he saw the pair of cold eyes opposite him. He only felt that his whole body was cold and his lips were trembling.
Suo was speechless and didn't know whether he was angry or frightened.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun said slowly: "Feeling embarrassed? Oh, your Wei family has not lost face enough in front of the Qin State? You have even lost the foundation of your ancestors and fled to the branch of your family in disgrace.
Asylum... In my opinion, the Wei family in Longxi has lost face long ago, not because of me, Zhao family, but because of you." After saying that, he paused and continued: "Just a status can be exchanged for it.
In the days when I, the Wei Dynasty, are at peace and contented, I will ignore others for the time being and just call you the king's father. I am thinking that as long as you show enough goodwill, I, the Zhao family, will naturally support you and make you a king who can enjoy your old age peacefully.
, clothes come to stretch your hands, food comes to open your mouth, and you can enjoy endless wealth... You have to know that our Wei Dynasty is much more powerful than Longxi now, and we also have many rare treasures and delicacies... It's just a title.
In exchange, you can get it at your fingertips."
"..." Mr. Wei's eyelids trembled slightly and he remained silent, probably thinking about the pros and cons.
It is undeniable that Zhao Hongrun's words really moved his heart. After all, he had heard a little bit about the prosperity of Zhao's Wei Kingdom, so he was naturally willing to stay in Wei and become a wealthy and prosperous king. But the problem was that if they wanted their Longxi Wei family
Surrendering to the divided Zhao family is something intolerable to most people in the Wei family.
"Think about it carefully." Seeing that Mr. Wei's father remained silent, Zhao Hongrun was not in a hurry and said quietly from the side: "Actually, I, the Zhao family, also come from the Ji family. I am from the same branch as your Wei family. Who can give me the honor?"
Who is in charge is like two brothers who are in charge of the house. They fight back and forth, but they are all members of their own family? It's just that the older brother used to be the head of the house, but now the younger brother is the head of the house, and he will not take advantage of outsiders? Why bother to be bound by dead principles?
?... If you really have to abide by the rules of your ancestors in everything, then you, the Wei family in Longxi, have lost your ancestors' inheritance, and are you not worthy of death? Therefore, this person must look forward."
"..." A look of hesitation appeared on Mr. Wei's face.
After a while, he whispered: "Mr. Zhao, are you really willing to be kind to me, Mrs. Wei? Be kind to Laojun?"
"Of course." Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "In fact, both my father and the clan are easier to talk to than this king. Of course, you must first pass this test before you can contact them.
…”
Mr. Wei's father looked deeply at Zhao Hongrun. After staring at him for more than ten seconds, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, as long as Mr. Zhao keeps your promise, I am willing to step down from my father's position."
As for the surrender of the Wei family to the Zhao family, this matter cannot be decided by me alone, it must be discussed together by the "meeting of clan elders"."
"What? A meeting of clan elders?" Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some surprise: "Isn't your father-in-law supreme?"
"You still know?"
The father of the Wei family gritted his teeth bitterly, but explained helplessly: "My Wei family in Longxi has twelve branches. In addition to my branch, Laojun, you must also get the approval of the other eleven branches to promote this.
Something..."
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and after a while he asked in shock: "Where are the other eleven?"
"Not in this city." Father Wei shook his head, looked at Zhao Hongrun with some gloating, and said, "Your strategy of capturing the thief first is a good one, but you didn't find it completely."
"...Damn it!"
Zhao Hongrun cursed secretly, he already knew that a civil war might be inevitable.
