The next morning, as soon as Zhao Kuo walked out of the bedroom, the old housekeeper came forward and whispered, "Son, Zhao Liang is here." ”

"Oh? Got it! "Zhao Liang is the son of Zhao Zhuang, and in his early years, he served as a captain in Zhao Hao's army. During the Great War, Zhao Liang was seriously injured and returned home, and the two have never had contact with each other since. Today, Zhao Liang suddenly visited, but it was a big surprise to Zhao Kuo.

When Zhao Kuo strode into the living room, Zhao Liang had been waiting there for a long time: "Uninvited guests, disturbing the son." ”

"Brother Zhao, don't come unharmed? Please be seated. Zhao Kuo quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Liang, and waved his hand with a smile, "Come on, prepare wine!" ”

When Zhao Kuo sat down in front of the desk, Zhao Liang was about to speak, but suddenly the old housekeeper hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo couldn't help frowning: "Let them come in." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Liang hurriedly got up and bowed deeply and said, "You are busy with state affairs, Zhao Liang will come back another day." ”

Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Brother Zhao, don't go, and sit down for a while." ”

Zhao Liang glanced up at Zhao Kuo, his lips moved, and he sat down again. After a while, a man in white strode in from outside the door, followed by a young man in black who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and saw that the man in white showed a humble and respectful expression when he saw Zhao Kuo: "Wei Shang Lu Buwei, I have seen Gongzi." ”

"Brother Lu, what happened today?" Zhao Kuo leaned on the couch and bowed slightly forward.

Lu Buwei smiled and stretched out his hand to point at the young man in black behind him and said, "This is the inhuman son I said yesterday." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo got up from his seat in surprise, and slowly paced to Yingyiren's side with his backhand, looking up and down.

Ying Yiren's pale face suddenly turned red, and he bowed down in a panic and said, "Qin Guozhi envoy Ying Yiren, I have seen Ma Fujun." ”

"You're the Alien?" Zhao Kuo sneered knowingly.

"Yes." Ying Yiren whispered a word.

"What does Brother Lu mean?" Zhao Kuo didn't look at Ying Yiren, but turned his head to look at Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Kuo's ear: "Strange goods can live, do you remember the son?" ”

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "But what does it have to do with Kuo?" Yingyiren, what can you say? ”

"Qi Qi Ma Fu Jun." Ying Yiren then knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes, "Yiren has been in Zhao for ten years, and the two countries have been in war for a long time, and diplomatic relations have been interrupted. The alien has no food and clothing, and he has repeatedly been turned away when he has asked to see Pingyuanjun several times. In the long run, you will die in a foreign land. Yiren has nothing else to ask for, so he can only ask Ma Fujun to ask about this matter and give Yiren a way out. ”

"This matter is under the jurisdiction of the Plains Monarch, and it is a military position, but there is nothing that can be done." Zhao Kuo sat back on the big case with an expressionless face, leaned over and picked up the wine glass, and said to Zhao Liang on the side, "Come!" Brother Zhao, do it! ”

After a glass of wine, Zhao Kuo was about to call someone to send off the guests, but he heard a crisp and moving voice coming from outside the door.

"This son has a poor background, Ji Xue begs the son, help him." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look up, only to see a woman in a long white dress floating out of the door, her long hair like a cloud was only tied with a snow-white silk scarf, but it was another beautiful and moving.

"Ji Xue, why are you here?" Zhao Kuo sat up straight suddenly, looking at Ji Xue who was standing at the door strangely.

Ji Xue glanced down at Ying Yiren, then slowly walked to Zhao Kuo's case, leaned over and whispered: "What happened to this son reminded Ji Xue of herself." As soon as the words came out, Ji Xue's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she actually cried.

"This ......" Zhao Kuo was caught off guard for a while, hurriedly reached out and wiped the tears on Ji Xue's face, and then sighed, "Since it is the lady's intercession, you should be answered." ”

Ji Xue's tearful face couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, so she said falsely: "Mrs. Shi, talk nonsense." ”

"Madame didn't admit it." Zhao Kuo nodded Ji Xue's forehead with a smile, then turned his head to a solemn expression and said, "Ying Yiren, you wait with Mr. Lu in the side hall, and when I pass the guests, I will lead you to see Pingyuanjun." ”

I didn't want to win the stranger, but I looked at Ji Xue in a daze, and there was no response for a long time, Lu Buwei hurriedly arched his hand when he saw this: "Buwei thanked the son for the stranger." Then he pulled the sleeve of Yingyiren's shirt fiercely.

Ying Yiren suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly knocked his head to the ground three times: "Yiren thanked Ma Fujun and thanked Madame." ”

When Lu Buwei and Ying Yiren walked out of the living room, Zhao Kuo raised his glass again: "Brother Zhao, do another one." ”

"!" Zhao Liang also stretched out his wine glass, and the two drank it all.

Ji Xue then knelt between the two cases and said with a smile: "Ji Xue poured wine for the two." ”

"What does Brother Zhao think?" Zhao Kuo glanced at Ji Xue with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Liang.

"Open your eyes today." Zhao Liang couldn't help but smile and said, "Before the child's big event is over, Liang will no longer bother." ”

"Brother Zhao didn't say anything?" Zhao Kuo didn't get up, just said with a smile on his cheeks.

Zhao Liang hurriedly slapped his head and said embarrassedly: "Very memorable!" There is indeed one thing. ”

"Please." Zhao Kuo stretched out his palm and made a gesture of please.

"This is a secret book left by my father before he set out on the expedition, and I handed it over to my son." As he spoke, Zhao Liang took out a black lacquer box from his sleeve, got up and handed it to Zhao Kuo's case.

Zhao Kuo took the box, cut the mud seal with a copper knife, and then took out a roll of parchment from the box, unfolded it and took a closer look, his face changed suddenly: "Where did General Zhao Zhuang learn about this?" ”

Zhao Liang shook his head: "My father has words first, but Liang doesn't know anything about the secret book. ”

Zhao Kuo sighed slightly and said, "It should be like this." ”

"Since this is the case, Zhao Liang will no longer bother, and the son will leave." Zhao Liang got up and drank all the wine in Jue, then arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the living room.

Zhao Kuo then sent Zhao Liang all the way to the entrance hall of Mafu Jun's Mansion, and was about to say goodbye. At this moment, I heard Zhao Liang suddenly shout: "Son, be careful!" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Liang had already flown in front of Zhao Kuo. At the same time, a sharp arrow pierced through Zhao Liang's back and pierced out from the chest, only the slightest difference from Zhao Kuo.

"There are assassins! Protect the Admiral! The front of Ma Fujun's mansion suddenly became a mess, and the spearmen on both sides of the gate immediately gathered over, surrounded Zhao Kuo and Zhao Liang in the middle, hurriedly retreated into the mansion, and then quickly closed the gate.

In a flash of light, Zhao Kuo had already regained his composure, turned around and ordered: "You don't have to worry about me, search for the assassin immediately!" ”

"No!" The armor soldiers took the order and departed.

Zhao Kuo leaned over to look at Zhao Liang in his arms again, but Zhao Liang was already out of breath.

"Zhao Liang! Zhao Liang! This situation suddenly reminded Zhao Kuo of Zhao Zhuang who died in his arms.

Zhao Liang opened his eyes with difficulty, and said intermittently: "Liang...... The Good Wife...... Just pregnant...... Hope...... Wanggongzi Zhao...... Take care of ......"

Zhao Kuo said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, Kuo will immediately send someone to bring Mrs. Zun into the mansion." ”

Zhao Liang then arched his hand towards Zhao Kuo with difficulty: "So...... Good Convenience...... There will be no more worries......" After saying this, there was a slight smile on the corner of Zhao Liang's pale lips, and then a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out, and he died immediately.

Gently putting down Zhao Liang's corpse, Zhao Kuo suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked people to call the old housekeeper.

"What's the matter with Childe?" After a while, the old housekeeper came to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo got up and thought for a moment, and then said: "The old side hall of the annoying family informed Mr. Lu, and said that Kuo has urgent matters and has no time to separate, and the two of them are at their own convenience." After saying this, Zhao Kuo whispered in the old butler's ear again.

"No." The old butler went away.

"Someone! Prepare the horses! Enter the palace! Zhao Kuo looked up at Ji Xue, who was quietly watching him not far away, then turned his head sharply and gave an order in a loud voice.
