"Ah Zhong, what can't you leave until tomorrow?"

Being woken up by Mu Wu for no reason, Meng Hu said with a complaining face.

However, Meng Zhong ignored Meng Hu and explained to his companions, "I have thought about it for a long time, and I think there is something I should tell you in advance......

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Le Yi, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

It's not that Meng Zhong doesn't trust Le Yi, in fact, after getting along, he feels that Le Yi is also a person who values love and righteousness, but the problem is that the stakes are too great, and Le Yi is a Zhongshan country who has died after all, will he be willing to keep his mouth shut for the benefit of the Song Kingdom?

Le Yi saw Meng Zhong's hesitation, and pretended not to care and said, "Otherwise, I will be on duty by Master Zhao's side." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong thought for a while and said to Le Yi: "Ah Yi, it's not that I don't trust you, but that the matter I want to tell about is too powerful. …… In addition, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you can stay out of it. But if you want to hear it, I'll still tell you, because you're one of us, but if you ultimately decide not to stay out of it, I want you to keep it a secret. ”

Looking at Meng Zhong's eyes, Le Yi was slightly moved, but he still said calmly: "If you are willing to trust me, please tell me the truth, I don't want to ......"

He looked left and right, and the meaning was very clear: he wanted to blend in with Meng Zhong and the others, and he didn't want to be excluded.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong nodded, and immediately turned his head to Meng Hu and said, "Ah Hu, you are on duty here, if there is any change, shout." ”

"Huh?"

Meng Hu was stunned when he heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "I want to hear it too." ”

"I'll tell you later."

"Okay then." Meng Hu replied helplessly, and immediately, he shrunk his neck in a gust of cold wind and urged: "Then you have to come back quickly, it's weird cold here." ”

He and Meng Zhong are family companions from childhood to adulthood, and of course they don't think about trust or distrust - and in fact, Meng Zhong's most trusted ones are probably Meng Hu and Meng Sui.

Meng Zhong nodded, and then took Meng Sui, Le Yi and the rest of the companions to a small hall in the apse of the Dune Palace, that is, where they lived.

When he came to this small hall, Meng Zhong sent away the Zhao pawns who were on duty in the corridor—with his current position at Zhao's master's father's side, he also had the power to command those ordinary Zhao pawns.

Closing the door of the palace, Meng Zhong motioned for everyone to sit in a circle, and then he lowered his voice and said: "King Zhao He is close to the Qi Kingdom and far away from the Song Kingdom, therefore, Tian Buyu Tian Doctor hopes to help Gongzizhang seize the throne ......" Speaking of this, he saw that everyone was shocked, and hurriedly made a silent gesture.

"Ah Zhong, you mean, Gongzi Zhang and Doctor Tian want to ...... Conspiracy? Xiang Yu asked with a look of horror.

On the side, Le Yi was also shocked.

Immediately, he glanced at Meng Zhong, and his heart was full of emotion.

After all, as Meng Zhong said, the stakes are too great, but Meng Zhong is willing to reveal the truth to him, isn't this trust?

Nodding slightly, Meng Zhong lowered his voice and said: "Today, I asked Uncle Meng Hu about his attitude, Uncle Meng Hu decided to help Gongzi Zhang, now I will tell you about this matter, you make your own decision, if you don't want to participate, I can try to get you back to the Song Kingdom......"

"That's what you said!"

Le Jin interrupted Meng Zhong's words and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Do you think we are cowardly and afraid of things? ”

Immediately, Xiang Yu frowned and said, "King Zhao is close to the Qi Kingdom, which will definitely be unfavorable to my Song Kingdom...... Then this matter really has to be intervened, but, with our ability, can we really help Gongzizhang seize the throne? ”

Hearing his words, everyone also looked at each other.

You know, although they have been instructed by Lord Zhao's father in martial arts in the past few months, they are still young after all, and at best they are only the strength of a Zhao pawn - it's just that with a few more soldiers, Gongzi Zhang can seize the throne? It's a joke!

Hearing Xiang Yi's words, Meng Zhong was silent for a moment.

Because Xiang Yi is right, with their age, ability, and status in the Zhao State, if they want to meddle in the internal competition of King Zhao's royal family, it is simply self-defeating.

But on the other hand, if he stood by and watched, or fled back to the Song State, Meng Zhong was unwilling to do this—to be precise, he was afraid that Gongzi Zhang would fail to seize the throne, and that once Zhao's father died, the Song State might lose Zhao as an ally.

All in all, whether it succeeds or not, Meng Zhong hopes that he can participate in this matter and do his best for the Song Kingdom, so that he will not regret it in the future.

After listening to Meng Zhong's explanation, everyone nodded slightly.

Immediately, Wu Ying, who had always been silent, took the lead in speaking: "Ah Zhong, your thoughts are correct, now that my Song Kingdom is facing a crisis, whether it is for the sake of the country or the people in the country, we must do our best to save the alliance between the Song State and the Zhao State...... I may not be able to help, but I'm willing to stay and give you a helping hand. ”

"Wu Ying, what you said, if you can't make any difference, then what will I say?" Le Jin said with a smile, and then said to Meng Zhong: "Just like Wu Ying said, I can't avoid this matter, otherwise, the Song Kingdom will suffer a catastrophe in the future." ”

Immediately, Meng Sui, Xiang Yi, Hua Hu, Mu Wu, Le Xu and others also spoke one after another, expressing their willingness to stay in Zhao State and assist Gongzizhang together with Meng Zhong and Meng Yu.

Only Le Yi was left with no statement, so everyone's eyes invariably looked at Le Yi.

At this time, Meng Zhong also looked at Le Yi and said: "Ah Yi, as I just said, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be involved at all, I just hope you can keep ......."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Le Yi.

He looked at Meng Zhong and the others, and said sincerely, "Even if it is to repay your trust in me, I am willing to help you." …… Although I was born in Zhongshan, the Song Kingdom is the ancestral home of my son's surname Le, and I don't want it to fall like the Zhongshan Kingdom......"

Meng Zhong and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and for a while, someone either hugged Le Yi, or someone patted the latter's back, showing their closeness.

After some fighting, everyone calmed down, and at this time, Xiang Yi remindedly raised Fang Cai's doubts: "Ah Zhong, although the matter has been decided, I really doubt how can I ...... with the only strength I have Help? ”

"Wait for the right time."

Meng Zhong said in a low voice: "As for the intentions of Gongzi Zhang and Doctor Tian, Master Zhao is actually clear. …… According to my observations, Lord Zhao's father seems to regret passing the throne to Zhao He, so he has been friendly with Gongzi Zhang recently...... Haven't you ever thought about why Master Zhao has done his best to teach me martial arts in recent months? ”

"You mean......" Xiang Yu seemed to think of something.

"Come to think of it, Master Zhao doesn't plan to just use us as guards." Le Yi glanced at Meng Zhong and said, he had mentioned this question to Meng Zhong earlier, but Meng Zhong did not answer positively at that time, but he didn't expect that there would be such an inside story.

Nodding towards Le Yi, Meng Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Therefore, what we have to do is very simple, that is, to seize every opportunity given to us by Master Zhao, obtain a military position, and lead the army...... Master Zhao will give us a chance, as long as we can grasp it. ”

Everyone nodded.

After the discussion, Meng Zhong asked Le Yi and Meng Sui to be on duty, and he took Meng Hu back to this small hall and told Meng Hu what Fang Cai had said.

As he expected, Meng Hu didn't care about whether Zhao had internal strife or not, and his mind was not good at thinking about the pros and cons of this matter to the Song State, he just told Meng Zhong with a big grin that as long as Meng Zhong made a decision, after all, the three brothers of the three clans had promised to share weal and woe when they were young.

The next day, when Master Zhao's father was having dinner at noon, he saw Meng Zhong and Meng Hu come to represent Le Yi and Meng Sui's class.

Somehow, after staring at Meng Zhong for a while, Master Zhao suddenly said casually: "Meng Zhong, your eyes have become different. ”

"Eyes?" Meng Zhong didn't really understand.

I saw Master Zhao take a sip of wine and said calmly: "When I first saw you, there was no sharp color in your eyes, so that I didn't see for a while that you were actually an excellent soldier who had killed people on the battlefield, until you killed the deer, and the deer's blood splashed on your face and did not change color, I was vaguely aware of it." And you ...... today"

He turned his head to look at Meng Zhong, looked at the latter's eyes, and said calmly: "And today, your eyes are extremely sharp, which reminds me of those beasts I encountered when hunting in the past, and those fierce beasts are probably your eyes when they catch prey. …… What is it that makes your eyes change like this? ”

Meng Zhong was a little dazed by Lord Zhao's father's words.

He turned his head and let Meng Hu take a look, but Meng Hu shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anything.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhao chuckled and said, "I have seen countless people in my life, how can I not see it?" ”

"Is that good or bad?" Meng Zhong followed Master Zhao's words and said.

I saw Master Zhao take a deep look at Meng Zhong a few times, and then smiled and said, "This is quite a good look!" It reminds me of the time, when my father Zhao Suhou passed away, and the countries tried to carve up my Zhao country in the name of mourning, I once secretly swore by a pool in the palace of Handan, swore to protect the country, and did everything to do it, when I saw my eyes, just like you are today, this is a person who has realized ......"

As he was talking, suddenly a Zhao pawn outside the hall walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Master Zhao, there is a messenger in Handan." ”

After obtaining the permission of Master Zhao's father, a man who was more than forty years old walked into the hall and handed a bamboo slip to Master Zhao's father.

Master Zhao spread out the bamboo slip and glanced at it twice, then sent the messenger away.

After the envoy left, Master Zhao looked at the gradual in his hand and snorted lightly.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong asked curiously, "Is it bad news?" ”

I saw that Master Zhao shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "Handan wants to set up a palace banquet to celebrate the fall of my Zhao Kingdom to Zhongshan, please return to Handan ......"

Speaking of this, he exhaled slightly with his hands behind his back, a few different colors flashed in his eyes, and he said flatly: "The news that I want to destroy the Qi country has leaked, and it has been known by Handan. ”

Meng Zhong was stunned, and then asked: "The palace feast in Handan ......"

I saw Master Zhao sneering, and a few hints of fierceness flashed in his tiger eyes.

"I, Zhao Yong, have never been afraid of people!"
