When Wushuang heard this, he suddenly became interested. Since learning war strategies with Zheng Liuyi and Ouyang Zongze, he has paid more attention to the general trend of the world.

"Xianggong, I'll go and prepare, and we'll leave when it's dark." Wushuang immediately got up.

Zheng Liuyi couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be in such a hurry, on the seventh day of July, when no one whispers in the middle of the night, the Palace of Eternal Life." It's a mess at this time, and I can't hear anything when I go. ”

This poem was quoted indecently, and he was stunned when he heard it, knowing that he probably meant that after the Zhao Mansion was in a hurry, he would have time to talk about the battlefield.

The two were upstairs drinking tea and chatting while observing the movement on the street. I saw that the long procession came to the door of the Zhao Mansion and stopped, and after a while, there was an earth-shattering cry.

Zheng Liuyi looked at Wushuang and said: "Daughter-in-law, thinking that this Zhao Zhen is diligent in royal affairs and has worked hard all his life, but I didn't expect to become a victim of political struggle in the end, which is really sad, lamentable, and chilling." ”

"It is not necessarily a victim of political struggle, this is just our speculation, and we still need to find out the situation before we can make a final conclusion." Wushuang said, smiling at Zheng Liuyi, "That's why you don't want to be an official?" ”

"Those who know me, so is my daughter-in-law!" Zheng Liuyi took Wushuang's hand, held it in his hand, and continued: "The officialdom is deceitful and intriguing, which is really not what I want. If you want to be an official, you can be the biggest official, or you can earn some money and spend it freely. ”

Out of the emperor, who dares to call the biggest official?

Wushuang hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Zheng Liuyi's mouth, and said softly: "Softly!" This is the capital, be careful that the wall has ears, how can you talk nonsense, do you want to rebel! ”

"If it is forced on my head, what if it is reversed!" Zheng Liuyi took away Wushuang's hand, "Don't worry, lady, there is no one within three zhangs, and no one can hear it." ”

Wushuang's internal strength cultivation at this time was no longer under Zheng Liuyi, and he immediately concentrated on it, and sure enough, there were only two of them on the entire third floor.

After dinner, the two returned to the room, Wushuang took out his night clothes, and Zheng Liuyi each wore one, and took out a black face towel to tie it for Zheng Liuyi.

Zheng Liuyi sighed with emotion in his heart: This thing is too easy to scatter, it is better to have high-elastic stockings of robbers, and it does not block the line of sight if it prevents it from falling off.

Immediately, he had an idea, so that Wushuang transformed the face towel into a hood, revealing his eyes to see and his mouth to breathe, which made it much easier to move.

The two had already been to the Zhao Mansion once and knew the path. Out of Wuxiangju, the two of them walked in a remote and dark place, and after a while, they arrived in front of Zhao's mansion.

The guards standing at the door have changed into white clothes, and through the courtyard wall, you can see the white flags erected in the courtyard, and the faint crying sound coming from the courtyard makes people feel sad.

Zheng Liuyi and Wushuang walked along the fence to a secluded place in the backyard, and when they heard that there was no one inside, the two jumped up arm in arm and floated into the courtyard without making any sound.

The two glanced at each other, and both showed a satisfied smile: The lady (Xianggong) is good!

Zheng Liuyi glanced at the backyard and couldn't help but be confused, this Zhao Mansion was too big to see where the main house was.

The last time he came, the housekeeper was in charge, so he only went to the front yard and the side hall, and he didn't even have a chance to enter the living room and study, let alone what the owner of the house looked like.

Listening to the cry coming from the front yard, it is estimated that the mourning hall is located there. Zheng Liuyi led Wushuang, followed the darkness to the front yard, jumped on the eaves, hid his body and took a closer look.

"Old Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Gongzi mourns!"

I saw that at this time, there was still an endless stream of officials who came to mourn, and Zhao Zhen's wife Mrs. Zhao and son Zhao Xiang were busy receiving them.

Mrs. Zhao cried miserably, collapsed on the couch, and couldn't even stand upright.

"Old Madam Zhao is old and frail, don't overwork, go back to the room early to rest!"

As the condolences became scarce, Zhao Xiang helped his mother back to the room to rest under the persuasion of everyone, and handed over to the housekeeper Zhao Ping to take care of outside.

Zheng Liuyi and Wushuang observed the movements of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Xiang, it turned out that the room in the middle of the backyard to the east was where Mrs. Zhao lived.

I saw Mrs. Zhao lying on the bed, and she had stopped crying at this time. Zhao Xiang came to the bed with a cup of tea, handed it to Mrs. Zhao and said, "Mother, drink water, don't cry!" ”

"I'm not thirsty, go, you go and call Wu Zhen to me, I have something to ask him!" At this time, Mrs. Zhao's face was cold, and there was no weakness in her tone.

It turned out that they were all drama spirits.

After a while, the deputy general Wu Zhen, accompanied by Zhao Xiang, entered the main house.

This deputy general is only an official position, not a deputy of the great general, and his position in the army is not high, which is equivalent to a guerrilla general in later generations.

"General Wu has returned to Beijing for thousands of miles, and he has worked hard all the way, thank you very much." Mrs. Zhao made a gesture to get up and salute.

Wu Zhen hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "As a subordinate of Old General Zhao, if you fail to protect Old General Zhao, Wu Zhen deserves death!" ”

Mrs. Zhao said: "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and General Wu doesn't have to blame himself. Get up and speak. Tell me how my Lord Zhao died, and tell me everything you know. ”

Zheng Liuyi crouched on the roof and sighed secretly, this Mrs. Zhao is really not an ordinary corner, it seems that she can hear something valuable on this trip.

I only heard Wu Zhen say: "The villain followed General Zhao Lao on the expedition, and the road was unimpeded, until Dunhuang County, and the whereabouts of the Xiongnu have not been found. After arriving in Dunhuang, the king of Jin sat in Dunhuang, let the old general Zhao garrison Yumen, and the cavalry general Qu Di stationed in Yangguan, the three formed a triangular trend, supporting each other to resist the Xiongnu army. ”

"If there is no trace of the Huns, why do you have to garrison to defend it?" Mrs. Zhao's words are sharp, and she seems to be extremely proficient in the things on the battlefield, and she secretly admires Wushuang when she hears it, she is also a woman, and she actually has such insight.

"Further on, there is a desert as far as the eye can see. According to the intelligence, the Western Regions Changshi Mansion has been returned to the hands of the Xiongnu, and if you go further, you may have an accident, and it is reasonable to be stationed here. Wu Zhen replied respectfully.

"And what about later?"

Later, a small group of Hun cavalry kept attacking, and the king of Jin ordered General Zhao to send troops to fight, and many were captured. The king of Jin ordered General Zhao Lao and General Qu Di to take the initiative to attack and find the Xiongnu army and fight a decisive battle with it. ”

Mrs. Zhao hated: "Ignorant child, it's really hateful!" How can you attack and then find the main force of the enemy? If the general is not subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, how could General Zhao let him command like this? ”

"That's not it, General Zhao sent scouts every day to find out the enemy's situation, and finally found traces of the Xiongnu army along the Shule River, about 20,000 people. It was agreed with the King of Jin that General Zhao and General Qu would attack the Xiongnu soldiers and horses left and right, and the King of Jin would respond later. ”

Mrs. Zhao said suspiciously: "This arrangement is reasonable, but the Huns are attacking on a large scale, how can there be only 20,000 troops and horses?" Could it be that 20,000 military horses took General Zhao's life? ”
