In the end, a soldier with full physical strength, who took the lead in the rush of hundreds of people, rushed to the camp gate with the log on his shoulder, and made the hundreds of soldiers who were chasing behind him curse.

After this farce was over, Meng Zhong rewarded the soldier with a full 500 cloth coins according to his previous promise, which made many soldiers from the side extremely jealous.

Fortunately, Meng Zhong divided the remaining 4,500 cloth coins equally among these soldiers, and made a promise, which made the jealousy of the five hundred soldiers against the "lucky" soldier slightly resolved.

"Congratulations."

Junzuo Zhao Ben walked up to Meng Zhong at this time and congratulated.

Looking at the reluctant smile on the other party's face, Meng Zhong smiled and said, "Thank you Zhao Junzuo for your assistance." ”

This pun made Zhao Ben even more embarrassed, smiled wryly, and left first under the pretext of going back to report to Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao.

After Zhao Ben left, Le Yi walked to Meng Zhong's side and said in a low voice: "That soldier named Mu Li has provoked several troubles, most of which were secretly instructed by this Zhao Junzuo......

"I know."

Meng Zhong nodded slightly, although Zhao Ben was quite secretive, he could still see some clues from it.

However, this is not surprising, after all, the fact that Lord Zhao's father set up a new army as a guard did affect the nerves of many people.

“…… You're more decisive than I thought. ”

At this time, Le Yi said again: "On that occasion, I thought you would order the execution of the soldier named Mu Li...... Why take the risk of getting your hands dirty? If it weren't for this person's carelessness, I am afraid that you would be able to sneak up on you, and I am afraid that ......"

"What you said, I thought about it too."

Meng Zhong explained: "It's just that at that time, I already suspected that Zhao Ben secretly instructed that if I ordered the execution of that soldier, then Zhao Ben might try to dissuade him...... When the interruption is continuous, but the chaos is affected, he simply takes advantage of his unpreparedness to strike first, even if Zhao Ben intends to stop it, it is too late. ”

"Indeed." Le Yi nodded, but still added: "But it's really dangerous." ”

While they were talking, Wu Ying, Xiang Yu and others had already surrounded them and asked Meng Zhong about the next arrangements.

Meng Zhong thought for a moment and said, "You stay with these soldiers first, and I'll go see Yang Wenjun to see if there is a vacant military camp nearby that can be used by my Xinwei." ”

"What about the corpse? What to do? Le Jin asked.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong looked down at the blood on his left hand, and his expression was a little dazed, just because after killing four Teng Guo's soldiers on the battlefield of Teng State, his hands were stained with blood again.

"Don't think about it."

Le Yi seemed to see Meng Zhong's thoughts, and comforted him when he heard the words: "In that case, you can only do that......"

"Hmm."

Meng Zhong nodded slightly, and instructed his companions: "Find a place to bury him, I'll go see Yang Wenjun first." ”

At the same time, Zhao Ben has returned to Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's handsome tent.

When Zhao Ben walked in, Zhao Bao was lying on the straw couch squinting, snoring slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ben called softly: "Junhou? Prince? ”

"Huh?"

After Zhao Ben called a few times in succession, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao woke up from a nap, and after yawning with alcohol, he asked casually: "That kid...... Have you successfully subdued the 500 soldiers? ”

"Surrendered." Zhao Ben nodded and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Bao's eyes flashed a few rays of light, and the whole person sat up on the straw couch and said, "What did that kid do?" Let's hear it. ”

Seeing this, Zhao Ben told Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao about Meng Zhong's surrender of the five hundred soldiers, only to hear a few traces of different colors flashing in Zhao Bao's eyes, and muttered: "Those two boxes of wealth are actually used to imitate Shang Jun's 'city gate standing wood'?" ”

Yes, when Zhao Bao brought Meng Zhong to the military camp today, Meng Zhong and his party brought a chariot with two wooden boxes full of wealth.

At first, Zhao Bao thought that this was Meng Zhong's simple use to buy soldiers, but he didn't care much, but he didn't expect that what Meng Zhong wanted to "buy" was not the military heart of the five hundred soldiers, but the "trust" between the "Xinwei" - this alone can prove that Meng Zhong's kid has read military books and knows the most critical things in the army.

Seeing that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao stroked his beard and didn't speak, Zhao Ben said with some shame: "Although I secretly instructed a few soldiers to deliberately make things difficult for him, he easily resolved it...... When I saw that I could not disobey it, I did not do anything more, and asked the prince to surrender his sin. ”

"No, you're right."

Zhao Bao raised his hand and said: "It's not that we don't have difficulties, it's just that that kid has clever means, just reply to Zhao Cheng like this, and it can be regarded as an explanation to him." As for Meng Zhong's kid...... The old man has known countless people in his life, this son is not simple, and he has the trust of the master's father, so it is better not to offend. ”

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "You instructed the soldiers to deliberately make things difficult for him, and he never found out, did you?" ”

Zhao Ben didn't dare to hide it, and said truthfully: "One of the soldiers was killed by Meng Zhong, but the rest of the soldiers ...... I haven't confessed to me like that kid yet. Still, I always felt like he had guessed ......"

"Guess it, guess it." Zhao Bao stroked his beard and said lightly: "That kid is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he won't bite and hold on." As long as there is no further obstruction from us, even if the rest of the soldiers confess to him that you secretly instructed him, he will pretend not to know......"

As he was talking, suddenly a guard outside the tent reported: "Prince, Xinwei Sima Mengzhong asks to see you." ”

Glancing at Zhao Ben, Zhao Bao smiled and said, "Let him come in." ”

A moment later, Meng Zhong was seen stepping into the tent.

At this time, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao had already lay back on the straw couch, and when he saw Meng Zhong walking into the tent, he glanced at the latter, and said in an unclear tone: "Boy, listen to Zhao Ben, you are very majestic, and you dare to kill the soldiers led by the old man......

Meng Zhong clenched his fists when he heard this, and said: "At that time, the situation was critical, and I could only find a way to control the situation, and Zhao Junzuo could also testify about this matter, it was really a last resort, and I hope that the prince and the marquis will forgive me." ”

"Is that so?" Zhao Bao deliberately asked Zhao Bendao.

Zhao Ben looked at Zhao Bao, then at Meng Zhong, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

"Oh......" Zhao Bao nodded when he heard this, and said seemingly casually: "Since this is the case, this matter will not be mentioned." ”

Of course, Meng Zhong understood the meaning of Zhao Bao's words, it was nothing more than that "Zhao Ben secretly instigated the soldiers to obstruct him", and he Meng Zhong was not allowed to pursue it anymore, and Zhao Bao did not pursue Meng Zhong for killing people in his military camp.

For Zhao Bao's "hint", of course Meng Zhong would not refuse, after all, he didn't want to get into trouble with Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao because of that little thing - he led the Xinwei to build the first place, and he had to turn to Zhao Bao for help, such as military camps, armaments or something.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Yang Wenjun for being magnanimous. ”

Seeing Meng Zhong's hints, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao laughed, looked at Meng Zhong and nodded, "Boy, you are very ......" After that, he resumed his previous casual sleeping posture and asked, "You came to see the old man this time, it won't be because you killed a soldier, right?" ”

Seeing this, Meng Zhong naturally put forward what he wanted: "That's the case, I believe in Wei Chuli, but there is no military camp to be stationed, I don't know if there is a vacant military camp in Yang Wenjun's hands?" ”

"That's what happened."

Zhao Bao nodded and said: "There is no vacant barracks, but the old man can send someone to build one for you, anyway, it is only a barracks of five hundred people, and it can be built in a few days." ”

"Then thank you Yang Wenjun."

After some politeness, Meng Zhong offered his farewell.

Watching Meng Zhong walk out of the tent, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao said to Zhao Ben: "Look, this kid knows how to advance and retreat, right?" ”

"Indeed."

Zhao Ben nodded, and then couldn't help frowning and said: "However, the relationship between this son and Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu is quite worrying......

"That's right." Zhao Bao also stroked his beard and pondered when he heard this, and immediately, he looked at the tent and sighed: "I hope this son doesn't make mistakes, the old man is really optimistic about his ......"

On the same day, the 500 soldiers under the command of Le Yi, Wu Ying, Xiang Yu, and Meng Sui stayed in the military camp of Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao, and then evacuated from this military camp after the latter sent someone to build a new camp for the Xinwei Army, while Meng Zhong took Meng Hu and Meng Sui back to Handan to report to Zhao's father.

However, when Meng Zhong returned to the palace where Master Zhao temporarily lived in the palace, he was surprised to find that Master Zhao was personally receiving two guests.

I saw these two guests, one of whom was old, about forty or fifty years old, dressed in a soapy blue robe, with a black and white feather inserted in the crown of his hair, and was dressed quite strangely.

The other one was a young man who was about twenty years old, but what he was wearing seemed to be Zhao Guo's armor.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong was secretly surprised and guessed the origin of these two.

At this time, Master Zhao also saw Meng Zhong, and said with a smile: "Meng Zhong, come and visit, this is the wise man of the Chu State, the "hé crown", and also the wise man of your Taoism, who is now by my side as a guest secretary, and has just returned to Handan from Xindu. ”

"Crane Crown?"

Meng Zhong thought about it carefully, but felt that he had not heard of it.

However, since he is a Taoist sage, Meng Zhong naturally still adheres to the etiquette of his juniors, and said respectfully: "The younger Meng Zhong has seen his predecessors." ”

Seeing that the young man Meng Zhong actually called himself a junior, the old man named Que Guanzi showed a little surprise on his face, turned his head to look at Master Zhao and asked, "Master Zhao, I don't know ...... this little friend is."

Master Zhao's father then smiled and introduced on behalf of Meng Zhong: "This son is a disciple of Master Zhuang of Song Guo, Meng Zhong. ”

"Sure enough, it's a Zhuangzi disciple!"

Hearing that Meng Zhong was actually a disciple of Zhuangzi, Que Guanzi's eyes lit up, and his expression was a little closer, after all, they were both Taoist disciples.

Immediately, he introduced the young man next to him and said, "This is the old man's disciple, and he is also a Taoist disciple, so you two might as well get closer in the future." ”

As he spoke, the young man also hugged his fist towards Meng Zhong.
