Wuyang City.

Although this city is still the largest city in the entire Yan Kingdom, the current Wuyang City is obviously much more deserted than before the war.

Forced by the strong pressure of the Qi and Zhao coalition forces on Jidu, Yan Guo finally had to agree to the request to give up Wuyang City.

Since Wuyang of Yan State ordered Lebi to open the city gate five days ago, and a large number of Zhao troops entered Wuyang City, the ownership of this city has been moved from Yan State to Zhao State.

This is the first time that Wuyang City has fallen into the hands of an enemy country after its establishment.

After a few days, Wuyang City was still deserted, and most of the residents chose to hide in their homes, watching the Zhao State patrol troops who never walked by the door from time to time with cautious eyes.

Although they are very reluctant to admit it, all the residents of Wuyang City know very well in their hearts that although this is only the first time that Wuyang City has fallen, Yan Guo may not be able to recapture this city again.

Sometimes, if you lose it once, you lose it forever.

On this day, Zhao Dan's king, under the escort of 5,000 Yulin troops, came to Wuyang City and lived in the Wu Balcony.

A day later, Empress Yan from Jidu and Wang Jian of Qi from Linzi arrived successively.

So Zhao Dan held a small dinner in Wuyang City to wash the dust for Empress Dowager Yan and Qi Wangjian.

It is worth mentioning that this time the young King Yan also followed the Empress Dowager Yan.

The little Yan Wang was already a four-and-a-half-year-old child of nearly five years old, sitting there trying to maintain the demeanor of a king, but it was obvious that the crown on his head seemed to be a little heavy for him, and the size of the royal dress on his body did not seem to fit, and it looked like it should be improvised.

And beside King Yan, the young Empress Dowager Yan Guo also sat there calmly, with a pretty face like frost, without saying a word, and did not go to eat any of the wine and food at the dinner party.

It is actually a matter of etiquette for a woman to come forward to discuss national affairs, even if it is the queen mother. But Zhao Dan did not object to this, so Qi Wangjian on the other side was naturally very eye-catching and did not talk much.

To be honest, almost all the people who are qualified to be at the dinner party have been mentally prepared for Zhao Dan to suddenly attack at the dinner party, after all, Zhao Dan has done this in the previous few meetings.

In fact, this is also the common practice of the alliance leaders, simply put, Liwei.

To the surprise of these people, Zhao Dan did not have any provocative actions at the dinner, and behaved very enthusiastically and gracefully, which was completely a qualified host.

Yes, hosts.

After all, for the current Zhao Dan, Wuyang City already belongs to the Zhao State.

The banquet ended quickly, and Zhao Dan politely and enthusiastically sent Qi Wangjian away, and then returned to the side hall of the Wu Balcony.

Here, Empress Dowager Yan and the young King Yan have been waiting for a while.

Zhao Dan sat down and quietly stared at the Empress Dowager Yan in front of her, a woman who was born from the same mother as herself.

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Zhao Dan with a calm face, and when she spoke, she was full of rejection from thousands of miles away: "I don't know what is the important matter when King Zhao summoned the old woman to come?" ”

Zhao Dan glanced at the young Yan Wang and hesitated slightly.

Empress Dowager Yan noticed Zhao Dan's gaze, tightened her arms slightly, and hugged King Xiao Yan in her arms: "Since it is something related to Yan Kingdom, then Ke'er, as the king of Yan Kingdom, is naturally present." ”

Zhao Dan suddenly understood in his heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Does the Queen Mother mean that she thinks that the widow is bullying orphans and widows?" ”

Empress Dowager Yan sneered: "Don't King Zhao think it's not?" If not, why did the capital of the Yan Kingdom yesterday become the territory of King Zhao today? ”

When these two men and women, who were born from the same mother and had the same blood flowing on their bodies, sat face to face at this moment, the atmosphere of the conversation was extremely stiff and full of estrangement.

Zhao Dan sighed and said very seriously: "Queen Mother, is all this caused by widows?" If the widow is not mistaken, it should be last year's Yan State betrayal alliance. ”

"Yan Guo did not betray the alliance." Empress Dowager Yan said coldly.

Zhao Dan was obviously a little angry by Empress Dowager Yan's attitude, and he didn't feel a little more gunpowder when he spoke: "Is it? But Yan Guo stabbed Qi in the back when the widow united with Qi to fight against Chu State, and completely ignored the widow's warning! ”

Empress Dowager Yan raised her head without showing weakness, stared at Zhao Dan with a pair of phoenix eyes, and said word by word: "Yan Guo, you don't need to listen to anyone's warning!" Yan Kingdom needs to go south, not to be trapped in this northeastern borderland, and it will not be able to expand an inch of land for a hundred years! ”

Zhao Dan shook his head and said: "Of course Yan Guo can go south, and of course the widow can also allow Yan Guo to go south, but the premise of Yan Guo going south is not to endanger the interests of Zhao State!" Since Yan Guo chose to attack Qi Guo, a comrade-in-arms on the same front of Zhao State, in the last war, then he must be prepared to be punished by the widows, otherwise how can the widows obey the people and order all the countries in the world? ”

"Commanding the nations of the world?" Empress Dowager Yan sneered: "King Zhao is really majestic!" Why, could it be that King Zhao is ready to replace the Son of Heaven? ”

There was a brief silence in the hall.

The young Yan Wang glanced at Zhao Dan with some fear, and subconsciously moved closer to his mother's arms.

Xiao Yan Wang already knew that the man in front of him was his uncle, and his mother was one of the closest people in the world, but he couldn't figure out why the quarrel between this man and his mother was so fierce.

King Xiao Yan had never seen anyone dare to speak with such an attitude in front of his queen mother, let alone his queen mother, who would have red eyes in front of any man.

Looking at the Empress Dowager of Yan Guo who was crying in front of her but still pretending to be strong, Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, and he only felt a faint bitterness rising from his heart.

When she was young, whenever she was bullied by herself, didn't she always look at herself with such stubborn eyes?

Although time has passed, and although Zhao Dan is actually just a time-traveler who has fused his memory, the family affection from the heart still suddenly erupted like a torrent, instantly filling every corner of Zhao Dan's body.

After all, this is a biological sister born to Zhao Dan's mother!

After a long time, Zhao Dan let out a long sigh and said earnestly: "Your personality is really becoming more and more like the queen mother." Didn't you think that your position as the queen mother and the throne of Ke'er were obtained with the support of widows? The reason why the widow supports Ke'er is that he hopes to get a solid ally Yan Guo, not a disobedient Yan State who may betray the widow and Zhao Guo anytime and anywhere! ”

"Empress Yan, you are now the queen mother of Yan Kingdom, and you have to consider Yan Country in every move, this widow can understand. But what the widow wants you to understand is that the widow is now also the king of the Zhao Kingdom, and everything must be considered from the position of the Zhao Kingdom! ”

"The widow knows that you are also afraid that the widow will destroy the Yan Kingdom, so you brought Ke'er here, right? Don't worry, the Yan Kingdom will not die, at least not now. The widow only wanted the land of Dukang and Wuyang City, and did not want to completely destroy the Yan Kingdom. ”

"As long as the Yan Kingdom does not betray the widow again in the future, the widow can guarantee that there will be a long period of peace on the Yanzhao border. Yan Guo is not strong, not strong at all, so such a game of dominating the Central Plains is actually not suitable for Yan Guo, not at all. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, you should take Ke'er back to rest and think about the words of the widow."

Empress Dowager Yan's body trembled slightly, and she didn't say anything, just stood up silently, and walked out of the side hall of the Wu Balcony step by step with the young King Yan in her arms.

After getting into the carriage, the young Empress Dowager Yan lowered her head, hugged Xiao Yan Wang with red glasses, and was silent for a long time.

The young Yan Wang rolled his eyes, suddenly reflexively hugged his mother gently, and said a word in a milky voice.

"Queen Mother, is your uncle bullying? When Ke'er grows up, she will send someone to teach her uncle a lesson, so that her uncle will never dare to bully her mother in the future! ”

Empress Yan's body trembled slightly, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore, holding the child in her arms tightly, tears slowly fell from her long eyelashes, and she sobbed silently.

Zhao Dan stood at the top of the steps of the Wu Balcony, watching the carriage of Queen Yan gradually disappear into the darkness, with a complicated expression.

Maybe from today onwards, this biological sister of mine will hate herself to the bone, right? After all, one is the ruler of Zhao and the other is the regent of Yan, and the conflict in position is actually irreconcilable.

Zhao Dan was silent for a long time, and finally could only sigh softly and shake his head slowly.

What's this all about?
