Lou Huan walked into the side courtyard, leaning on crutches and panting. This courtyard was given to Lou Huan by the King of Zhao, because Lou Huan did not have many manpower in Zhao State, so the people who lived here were those who followed him.
If anyone carefully observes the followers of the Qin people who came to Zhao State, they will find a very important thing, that is, the followers who followed him are no longer the followers who are in the courtyard now.
From name to identity and origin, they are all the same, but the person is no longer the same person.
Lou Huan walked into the courtyard unhurriedly. Immediately, there were warriors guarding the door. The rest of the entourage did not say anything. They stood in every corner of the courtyard, alert, with their waistbands wearing
He held a short sword and a crossbow in his hand. Of course, no one said anything, because everyone knew that Lou Xu had been assassinated once. After that, the guard force around him became stronger than before, no matter where he went.
Everywhere, there are always warriors following.
These guards of Lou Sui seem casual, but they are standing in positions where they can support each other and can clearly see the blind spots around them. They look like Qin soldiers guarding the city wall. Of course, Lou Sui is from Qin
It is understandable that the state brought a group of Qin people back to Zhao.
Walking to the gate of the other courtyard, Lou Xu opened the door, but there was a scrawny old man sitting in the courtyard. The old man was terribly thin, his clothes were ragged, and even his hair was messy. He seemed to be older than Lou Xu.
, the old man sat casually on the ground, staring at the soil under his feet, using his fingers to write words on the soil? So? His hands were covered with mud, and he looked like he was begging on the road.
Disaster victims.
When Lou slowly walked in front of him and sat down, the old man also noticed him and just stared in front of him.
"Chang." Lou Huan shouted, and the old man suddenly raised his head. This face? It turned out to be Lou Chang, the favored minister of King Zhao who disappeared inexplicably. Lou Chang no longer had the coolness of the past, and he was not even healthy. He saw that
Sluggish? Numb? As Lou Huan's Youzi, he looks like Lou Huan's father! He is so old. Lou Huan looks at him and feels a little bitter in his heart. Lou Chang is aging too fast.
Since his son died? Lou Chang seemed to have died with his son. He no longer had the ambitions of the past, nor any emotional fluctuations? Lou Chang looked seriously at Father Zhong in front of him for a long time. Only then did he
Grinning, the smile was a little scary. Lou Huan said lazily: "Shu is dead? Dong Chengzi just led people to Chang'an Jun's mansion? Chang'an Jun insisted that he wanted to assassinate him, Dong Chengzi was very angry."
"Dong Chengzi must die too"
"I have told you a long time ago that Dong Chengzi cannot make the same mistake as last time and will never make it again."
"I won't let this matter affect you. Last time, the assassination failed because Zhao Kuo was also there, and they only suspected Zhao Qiyue."
"Haha, if I hadn't temporarily arranged an assassination to divert everyone's attention to Lord Chang'an, your last private action would have been enough to get you killed."
"My son died in the hands of Dong Chengzi."
"He is making laws. Marquis Ying is watching this. You can't kill him." Lou Huan warned again. Lou Chang smiled and said nothing more. He just lowered his head and looked at the ground.
Wei Wei said to himself: "Is he tied to death? Is he exposed? No, he was carefully selected by me. He is the most talented." Lou Chang said and suddenly laughed again,
Said: "It doesn't matter if you die, everyone will die anyway."
Lou Chang's state made Lou Huan very unhappy. He frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "If he is exposed, he will not be able to walk out of Pingyang Jun's Mansion alive. This is probably because Zhao Bao doubts him.
Therefore, I asked Zhao Qiyue to get rid of him. I think you don’t need to participate in this matter anymore."
"Father Zhong, I have personally arranged everything. Now it has been implemented. If I don't interfere, what can I do? Wei Wuji's army of confidants has already bypassed Zhongmou and is approaching Lieren, Lieren
After the disaster, this place is empty. Now, rebels from all over the country are gathering here. Soon, tens of thousands of rebels will appear here and they will attack Handan."
"When Zhao Dan sent people to kill them all, Wei Wuji found out that all his confidants and friends died here. The reform failed completely. Zhao Wei turned against each other. Wei Wuji and Zhao Kuo were all driven out of the Zhao Kingdom. And
Those who are close to them," Lou Chang said these things in a strangely steady tone, as if they had nothing to do with him, and he suddenly laughed again.
"You don't think that no one can see through your plan, do you?"
"So what if you see through it? Zhao Qiyue did everything. All the evidence is with him. Will King Zhao deal with him to vindicate Wei Wuji?"
"Then what if Zhao Bao comes out to testify for Wei Wuji?"
"Zhao Bao, when Zhao Qiyue wanted to go to Qi State to be a hostage, the people who were most opposed to it were the Queen Mother and Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao raised Qiyue and regarded him as his own child. Zhao Bao, this idiot, is just like me.
"You value family ties the most and always trust those you can't trust, am I right, Father Zhong?" Lou Chang suddenly looked at Lou Xu, of course Lou Xu understood that Lou Chang was asking himself for guilt because he refused.
Help him get revenge.
"I know you value Zhao Kuo. I just want the heads of Dong Chengzi and Zhao Dan. Why can't you help me?" Sure enough, Lou Chang asked again.
Lou Xu shook his head and said, "It's impossible for you to kill these two people through Ping." Lou Chang suddenly laughed, and Lou Xu suddenly realized something was wrong. He frowned and said seriously.
After thinking about it, he asked: "Have you made other arrangements without telling me?" Lou Chang did not speak, but looked at Lou Suan seriously. Lou Suan looked at him. Suddenly, his eyes widened, "Lie
People? Disaster victims?”
"Of course a cruel person like Zhao Dan should be executed by a benevolent gentleman, so that he will be despised forever." Lou Chang's voice finally had some emotion, a kind of anger and a vicious curse from the heart.
But at this moment, the victims who were forced to move due to the flood and were receiving relief looked at the soldiers who surrounded them in fear. They were very scared. Some elderly people were crying about their hunger and talking about their
Suffering, I hope these people can let them go. The children hid in their mother's arms and cried. The young and strong people surrounded them, looking at these strangers with their bare hands.
From among these soldiers, a man dressed as a general walked out. This man's face was somewhat kind. He smiled and said to everyone: "Please don't be afraid. We are here to help the second and third sons. The reason why the second and third sons are hungry is because
It's because the traitors in Handan secretly withheld the food originally given to the second and third sons! This time, we are going to seek justice, which is something that Lord Xinling and even Lord Ma Fu support!"
The general spoke loudly and danced, and many young people's eyes shone with light. Especially after hearing Ma Fujun's name, they became more convinced and no longer even showed the original hostility.
Only some old men were not moved. They just looked at them, lowered their posture, and said: "We are just following Ma Fujun's instructions to receive relief here. He also asked us to rush to Ma Fu to find him."
"Oh, I understand, but Mr. Mafu is not in Mafu. He is waiting for us. Please come with us." The general said, supporting these old men amiably. The old man smiled and hurriedly
After thanking them, they looked at the villagers around them seriously, but their eyes were full of fear. A group of people then walked towards the crowd, and the young people mingled with those people and talked enthusiastically.
The young people seemed very friendly to these people who had just given them a full meal, and the few words of the general made their blood boil with enthusiasm and full of fighting spirit.
This is the nature of the world. It is always the passionate young people who bleed and sacrifice, but in the invisible corner, it is a group of old people who were once like them but are now cold-blooded and control their lives.
"Open the door!"
Di shouted loudly towards the top of the city. Zhao Kuo got on the military chariot again, with guests surrounding him. He did not bring his disciples with him, although they all wanted to follow him, but Zhao Kuo
Still didn't agree, he asked Han Fei to be optimistic about these people. Zhao Kuo has always wanted to save those drowning people in this era, but his power alone is so insignificant. He needs these people, he needs these disciples
stay.
They are all balls of fire, which will surely burn everywhere in the future, and they will save more people.
The disciples were very reluctant, but they could not disobey Zhao Kuo's orders, so they could only stay in the school. Zhao Kuo still remembered Han Fei's resentful eyes, but there was nothing they could do about it. These inherited his theories.
Young people, they have learned kindness and mercy, and there will be sacrifices in war. In the future, they can shine more dazzlingly and release heat.
But when Zhao Kuo arrived in Handan in a military chariot with a group of retainers, he was surprised to find that he could not enter the city. The city gate was closed. This was understandable. After all, there were rebels outside.
Rebels also appeared in Handan, but the soldiers did not let Zhao Kuo pass. It can be seen that when the generals stationed on the city wall were not allowed to open the door, the soldiers were surprised, which caused chaos on the city wall.
Zhao Kuo looked at the top of the city and saw a familiar figure. That person was Zhao Bu. Zhao Bu was Zhao Bao's son and Zhao Kuo's old subordinate. The two had fought together several times, but Zhao Kuo was just quiet.
Looking at him without speaking, Zhao Bu hesitated and struggled. King Zhao had already issued an order not to allow anyone to enter the city. The so-called anyone naturally included Zhao Kuo. After he saw Ma Fujun, he immediately sent
People went to report it, but no one dared to open the city gate.
He admired Lord Ma Fu very much and respected Lord Ma Fu very much, but it was his duty to protect Handan City and he had to carry out the orders of King Zhao.
While hesitating, some soldiers finally rushed over and shouted to Zhao Bu: "Your Majesty has an order, open the city gate and let Ma Fujun enter the city!" After hearing this order, Zhao Bu gave the order, and the soldiers
After opening the city gate, the faces of Ma Fujun's guests were even more unkind, especially Ge. Ge's long beard trembled again, and he said some unpleasant words, and the city guards could hardly raise their heads.
Zhao Kuo hurried towards the palace.
When he arrived at the palace, there were obviously more warriors here. They were a little embarrassed to keep Ma Fujun's retainers. King Zhao had ordered that only Ma Fujun was allowed to enter alone, and the rest were not allowed. Ma Fujun's retainers
They started making noise again, Zhao Kuo stopped them, and then followed the warriors into the palace.
King Zhao has lost his former glory. His expression cannot be said to be frightened, but can only be said to be sad. He drank a lot of wine and sat alone in the palace. He looked a little pitiful. The king of a majestic country did not
It should be like this. When Zhao Kuo walked into the hall, King Zhao raised his head, stood up subconsciously, and wanted to walk, but stopped again. His face was filled with unresolved sorrow, and he sat down again.
Come down.
Zhao Kuo also sat in front of him. He found that there were tears on King Zhao's face. King Zhao picked up the wine cup, shook his head and said to himself: "I am very kind to them. I am very kind to them."
He gave them everything he could, but why did they still oppose the widow? When the widow personally went to welcome Lord Xinling, he treated him as his guest, believed in him deeply, and valued everything he recommended.
people"
"I have offended many close relatives just to keep these people in Zhao State. But why do they do this?"
"Mr. Xinling, what have you done to offend him?" King Zhao asked, raising the wine cup in his hand again and about to drink it. Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand, held the wine cup, and started drinking from him.
He took it in his hand and drank it in one gulp. King Zhao looked at him in surprise. Zhao Kuo put the wine cup aside and then said to King Zhao: "Jun Xinling definitely did not rebel, and he did not do anything sorry."
Your business."
"I can guarantee it with my own life."
Later, he told King Zhao one by one the reasons that Han Fei had guessed. King Zhao was half-convinced and just looked at him without speaking. Zhao Kuo knew that it would be difficult to convince King Zhao with just words, so he had to say
: "Please don't send troops for the time being, and don't arrest Lord Xinling's family guests. I will put down this conspiracy, and I will find the murderer behind the scenes. Please rest assured."
"However, you have to send someone you trust to follow me to do this. I also think that Mr. Pingyang can come with me. I suspect that Mr. Pingyang is being used by others."
King Zhao looked at him in confusion. Looking at this young man who was full of confidence, he nodded blankly.
