"What happened?"

Zhao Kuo looked around, and suddenly asked, Di said seriously: "Family master, someone is spreading news in the city, saying that Zhao Dan wants to kill you, the people of Handan are very angry, just now, they gathered in front of the palace, wanting to storm the palace and rescue you, Li Yu and Han Fei have already gone over to help evacuate the people, and all the elites of the royal city are dispatched, and they are suppressing the people everywhere and arresting the people who take the lead in making trouble." ”

Zhao Kuo frowned, looking at a few soldiers in the distance who were pressing the people, punching and kicking, seeing his gaze, Di had not yet spoken, fortunately rushed over, sternly retreated those soldiers, and pointed to Zhao Kuo's side, those soldiers immediately put down their weapons, bowed down to Zhao Kuo in fear, and hurriedly left here, fortunately, those people were brought here.

These commoners are all strong young people, one of them has a broken head, is bleeding, Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked Tiandan's retainers to help him deal with his wounds, they looked at Zhao Kuo in front of them, finally relieved, they said: "You didn't have an accident, this is great, we learned that King Zhao wants to murder you... We were scared and worried... Rest assured, as long as we are here, no one will be able to hurt you..."

The young man covered the wound on his forehead and said seriously.

Zhao Kuo looked at them, his heart was full of complexity, both distressed and moved. He said helplessly: "No one wants to murder me at all, please go home for the second and third sons, don't be impulsive... Go home. These people looked at each other, and then said: "Ma Fujun, although we are just ordinary people, but we also know the truth of knowing the kindness of retribution, you once saved us on the battlefield and distributed all the rewards of King Zhao to us, you think about us wholeheartedly, we must not let anyone hurt you." ”

"Don't worry, the 200,000 ordinary people of Handan are ready to die, if anyone wants to hurt you, they have to step on our corpses first!"

"Go home! This is my command! Zhao Kuo said angrily.

These people didn't dare to disobey Zhao Kuo's order anymore, and bowed down to Zhao Kuo, and then left here.

And at the moment, inside the palace.

King Zhao's face was red, and Wei Wuji, Lian Po, Dong Chengzi, Zhao Hui and several others sat beside him. Everyone didn't look at this monarch, they just looked ahead, and King Zhao explained angrily: "This is all slander! It's a slander against the widow! How could a widow do something to hurt Ma Fujun? This is because the widow executed Lou Chang's son, so Lou Chang deliberately framed the widow and wanted to divide the monarch and ministers! ”

Wei Wuji didn't speak, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Dong Chengzi was the same, he frowned, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he lowered his head in a daze.

Only Lian Po, who looked a little excited, asked, "Those samurai who died in Mafu are all your henchmen samurai, is there nothing wrong with that?" Why would your warriors pretend to be Qin and try to capture Ma Fujun's son? Why is that?! King Zhao's lips trembled, and then he said angrily: "This must be Zhao Bao, he wants to avenge Chang'an Jun, and the widow doesn't know!" ”

Lian Po did not speak, and everyone heard the roar outside the palace, which was like the roar of the waves.

"Your Excellency! There are tens of thousands of people outside the door! I have ordered the gates of Handan to be blocked, but this matter will soon spread everywhere! What to do?! Lian Po asked helplessly.

King Zhao looked at him, ignoring his tone, looked at Wei Wuji, and asked, "Xinlingjun, what do you think... What to do? ”

Wei Wuji slowly stood up, untied the seal from his waist, he looked at King Zhao, and said seriously: "Shangjun, I suddenly feel that I may not be very suitable for the position of state minister... I'm still fit to take my guests to drink in the mansion..."

King Zhao trembled all over, and he said almost pleadingly: "Please don't abandon the widow at this time, the matter of Ma Fujun, the widow really doesn't know, those warriors, those warriors were sent by the widow to protect Zhao Bao, what did he do, the widow really doesn't know, you know how much the widow values Ma Fujun, that is, everyone said that Ma Fujun rebelled, and the widow never suspected him..."

"Your Excellency... It's not because of this incident, it's just that I found that my talent is not enough to serve as the state minister, I can't solve your confusion for you, and I can't deal with the current situation, please understand...", Wei Wuji said, he got up and walked towards the outside of the palace, King Zhao opened his mouth wide, wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, and watched Xinling Jun leave the palace.

Dong Chengzi then stood up, he shook his head, and said helplessly: "As a coward, I have not been able to punish the wicked who deserve their crimes, nor have I been able to protect the benevolent and righteous people, I really want to implement the implementation of the law, but I don't have that kind of talent... Originally, I was just a city guard, but because I got some trivial combat exploits with Ma Fujun, I became a Sikou... It's better to be a city guard than a priest. ”

"At the very least, when I am a city guard, I can protect the people in the city from being humiliated... But not like it is now... Please forgive me for my crimes, I can no longer take the position of Treasurer. Dong Chengzi bowed down towards King Zhao, and also followed Wei Wuji out of here.

King Zhao looked at him in horror and exclaimed, "What did the widow do to be sorry for you?" ”

"It's not you, it's me, I'm sorry for my duty... Failed to live up to his mission. ”

King Zhao watched Dong Chengzi also leave the palace, his heart seemed to have been cut off a large piece of meat, he looked at the rest of the people, Lian Po sat in his place, his hands suddenly clenched, suddenly let go, hesitated for a long time, he still didn't get up, he shook his head, looked at Pang Xuan on the side, Pang Xuan closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said: "Please quickly send someone to invite Ma Fujun, let Ma Fujun order the people to go home." ”

"Also, please be prepared to apologize to Ma Fujun."

"I'll personally go and talk to Ma Fujun about this."

"Shinhei-kun... Please take the army and prepare to counterbalance the rebellion, what I'm worried about is Wu Anjun in the clouds and Sima Shang in Yanmen, both of whom were personally promoted by Ma Fujun, and they treat Ma Fujun as their own brother, if they believe rumors... Wu Anjun is okay, he has the demeanor of a general and acts cautiously, but Sima Shang has a violent personality, so he is afraid that he will be angry and come to Handan with the knights of the border stopper..."

Lian Po licked his lips and said with a smile; "I didn't expect that one day, I would have to lead troops to defend against these two young men... Hahaha~~", he laughed, and suddenly, he pointed to King Zhao in front of him, and said angrily: "All this is because of your fault!" After speaking, he turned around and left the palace, King Zhao was reprimanded by Lian Po like this, but he just lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.

Now by his side, the only one who can lead the troops to the battle is Lian Po, if Lian Po is also... King Zhao didn't dare to imagine.

He looked at Zhao Hui and said calmly: "Immediately execute Lou Chang and Zhao Bao." ”

Zhao Hui nodded and left the palace as well.

In the end, only Pang Xuan was left by King Zhao's side, this old man, on crutches, stood up, his eyes were full of sadness, he shook his head, and muttered: "How did it become like this?" He trembled and walked towards the outside of the palace, and said as he walked: "Duke Lin... I'm sorry for you, you once said: Ma Fujun is in Zhao, and the rest of the princes dare not plot against Zhao. Who would have thought that the rest of the princes would indeed not dare to plot... And .."

When Pang Xuan walked out of the palace on crutches, the warriors guarding the palace were fiercely entangled with the people, and the merchants, peasants, and even nobles of Handan were standing outside the palace gate with red faces at the moment, they shouted loudly "Mafu Jun", and they were rushing towards the palace, and the warriors in front of the palace were using bright weapons to force back the people who wanted to storm the palace.

There were more and more people, Pang Xuan saw that some of them directly stretched out their hands, grabbed the sharp sword body, roared, and let the blood flow, he saw the warriors retreating step by step in fear, everything was going to be drowned in the vast sea of people, no one could resist, no one could stop it. Some of the samurai angrily dropped their short swords, turned around directly, and became one of the common people.

Just when the people were about to rush to Pang Xuan's side, an elite rushed from afar, these elites joined the battle, the common people were naturally not their opponents, these elites could not beat the Qin army on the battlefield, but in the face of the common people, they could still show their brave side, I saw that they beat the people with all their strength, and when they burst into flames, they directly used spears to assassinate these people, Pang Xuan's face changed greatly, and he was about to speak.

Suddenly, from a distance, another group of people came.

The leader walked here, when the people saw him, the anger on their faces also froze, the originally noisy and noisy road calmed down in an instant, no one spoke, no one made a sound, the people looked at the coming Ma Fujun seriously, and the soldiers also hurriedly retreated to their side, Zhao Kuo just like this, step by step from the people to the steps of the palace.

"I'm Ma Fujun... Nobody wants to murder me... Please go home. ”

Zhao Kuo said loudly.

The people looked at them in surprise, and then they talked, just in the midst of hesitation, everyone bowed down to Ma Fujun, and then gradually left, and the palace became sparse in front of it, Zhao Bu, who came with those soldiers, did not dare to look at Zhao Kuo at this moment, and the people left here with those injured people, Zhao Kuo's face was very bad, and he looked at Pang Xuan on the side.

Pang Xuan was also a little ashamed, he looked at Zhao Kuo in front of him, and said softly: "I thought that you would use these people to protect yourself. ”

"I haven't been so cheap that I let innocent people shed blood for me...", Zhao Kuo said, he looked at the palace again, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of mistake I made to suffer such treatment, but now I just want to get my family back.... If I made any mistakes, he should have come and told me in person, instead of thinking about holding my family hostage..."

"Just a child who is less than ten years old, what is his crime?"

"This is the evil thing that Zhao Bao himself did... Shangjun didn't know, Ma Fujun, please don't say that, Shangjun is willing to ask you for Zhao Bao's matter...", Pang Xuan said, the cold wind blew, he trembled all over, and he begged: "Please don't blame Shangjun... Something like this will never happen again ... Lin Gong once said to me: You are the Great Wall of Zhao. I believe that..."

Zhao Kuo looked at the old man in front of him who was shivering in the wind, Pang Xuan was already very old, Zhao Kuo took off his fur and draped it on his body, and then said seriously: "It's too cold outside, please go back and rest, I'm going to find my mother...", all the words that Pang Xuan wanted to persuade Zhao Kuo were blocked in his throat for a moment, and he couldn't say anything, he stood here, watching Zhao Kuo leave blankly.

At that moment, he seemed to feel that Zhao Guo had lost all hope.

Just when Zhao Kuo was walking towards the city gate with Di Xing, there were two warriors, but they were standing near the city gate, waiting for him. When Zhao Kuo approached here, the two warriors immediately stepped forward and blocked in front of Zhao Kuo. Di had become a little sensitive, he stepped forward, directly grabbed the necks of the two warriors with both hands, and pressed the two warriors directly to the ground as soon as he advanced.

The movements were so swift that the samurai didn't react, and they were pressed to the ground by Di.

"We're here to find Ma Fujun... There are no bad intentions..."

The warriors defended in horror, Di still didn't want to let go of them, grabbed their necks, raised his head, and looked at Zhao Kuo behind him, Zhao Kuo asked him to get up, Di let them go, the warriors got up from the ground in embarrassment, looking at Di with a little fear in their eyes, they hurriedly bowed to Zhao Kuo, and said: "We are here to tell you where your family is." ”

"Huh?!" Di's eyes lit up and he stepped forward suddenly.

The two warriors hurriedly retreated, stretched out their hands and said, "Please listen to me...", the one on the left looked at Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "That's the case, Zhao Bao wants to murder you, but he has no way, in order to frame him, but also to be able to come up with a way, he found Lou Xuan, Lou Gong is not willing to hurt you, so he told us about this in advance... In order to prevent Zhao Bao from harming your family, we took them to a safe place. ”

"Are you Qin?"

"Where is my family?!"

"They're in Xianyang."

"What?"

"They're on their way to Xianyang."

Seeing that Di had the idea of doing something again, they hurriedly said: "The king said: This is to protect your family, as long as they are in the Qin Kingdom, they will be very safe, and no one will want to kill them." The king said: Please Ma Fujun rush to Xianyang and pick up his family, this is definitely not to blackmail you to go to Qin with your family, this is just to let you travel in Qin for a period of time like Xunzi. ”

"The King is looking forward to seeing you."
