March 20 of the ninth year of King Zhao of Zhou (the thirteenth year of the Marquis of Wei), Shangluo.

Since the nations had been roughly reconciled, the war was over, and the armies of the princes within Wangji were almost completely withdrawn at this time.

At this time, it was the turn of spring and summer, and the peasants who had fled the war basically returned to their homes at this time, taking advantage of the last days to rush to grow food.

The world is back on track, and everything is moving in a good direction.

But at this time, in Shangluo City, there was another group of distinguished guests from the north, and these people involuntarily emitted evil spirits, which was not in line with this thriving atmosphere.

"Second son, Shangluo has arrived!" At the front of the line, a soldier said in a deep voice.

is known as the second son, naturally Wei Chengze, but at this time there is a look of displeasure in his eyes.

Along the way, he was called the second son, and he knew that these soldiers were treating himself as an outsider, how could he be happy when you said he was proud.

But Wei Chengze also knew that this was not the time to care about these things, and when he became the prince in the future, the attitude of these people would naturally change.

And when it came to being the crown prince, Wei Chengze's face became gloomy, and he begged for the opportunity to come to Shangluo this time, just to clear the obstacles for his position as the crown prince.

But Wei Chengze didn't know that the reason why he was allowed by Wei Hou to come to Shangluo this time was also because of the meaning of the test of him.

"Now that we're here, let's go straight to the building!" Wei Chengze said lightly, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could still control his insignificant emotions.

So, after passing the city gate order, the group went straight to the direction of the building.

Although Shangluo is large, it didn't take long to arrive at the building area without delay.

Unlike when Wei Wuji first arrived, many small countries had already left, and it was these big powers who remained in the building, and the purpose of staying was naturally to reach the final contract.

When he came to the gate, Wei Chengze glanced inside casually, and then ordered the entourage beside him: "Go and let the people inside open the door!" ”

When the attendant had made his promise, he jumped off his horse and went to the gate of the building, and then knocked on the door and shouted, "The envoy is coming, and he will open the door quickly!" ”

"Knock knock knock ......" was loud, and soon there was a sound inside the door.

With a "squeak", the door was opened, but it was a subordinate officer under Qu Weidao.

After seeing the big battle outside, this person was not stupid, and recognized Wei Chengze.

"It turned out to be the second son, please ......come in quickly," the clerk said enthusiastically, and at the same time opened the door.

But his words made Wei Chengze's heart unhappy again, and he was a "second son" again. Moreover, what you shouted just now was "the king's envoy is coming", why are you deaf?

Wei Chengze jumped off the horse with the support of the attendants, and then said to the officials: "Where is Wei Wuji, the envoy is coming, why doesn't he come out to greet him?" ”

Wei Chengze's tone was extremely indifferent, which made the officials feel cold, but he still explained: "The second son is Rongyu, the fifth son is he, he should still be five years old now!" ”

"He knows how to enjoy it, and I just hope that after he arrives in Qi Kingdom, he can be so free!" Wei Chengze sneered, the edict in his hand would be Wei Wuji's nightmare.

The clerk couldn't help laughing, the fight between the sons was not something they could participate in.

Wei Chengze's face turned cold, and then he said to the official: "Hurry up and get people in a hurry, my son wants to read out the edict of the monarch." ”

The official's expression was grim, this matter really can't be delayed, and he has to do it quickly.

After bowing to Wei Chengze, the official walked to the gate, and at the same time shouted loudly: "There is an edict on the king, there is an edict on the king......

The sound was very loud, and soon some soldiers came out, and suddenly there was some confusion.

"Let's go, let's go in too......" Wei Chengze said coldly, and then walked to the building first.

When he came to the courtyard outside the main hall, all the soldiers and officials in the hall had also been assembled. It can also be seen from this that Wei's mobilization ability is absolutely first-class.

However, Wei Chengze's eyes were pointy, and he soon discovered that Wei Wuji was not in the middle of the team, which made him more and more dissatisfied in his heart.

Of course, Wei Chengze soon heard a series of footsteps coming from behind him.

Without even thinking about it, Wei Chengze should have known that it was Wei Wuji who came, and when he turned around, he found that his judgment was correct.

Indeed, at this time, Wei Wuji was dressed in a samurai suit, followed by Zheng Dali and several guards.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

The sound of footsteps was neat and powerful, and everyone's attention couldn't help but attract it, but Wei Chengze, the imperial envoy, was forgotten in the corner, although he was standing in the middle of the courtyard at this time.

At this time, Wei Chengze looked at the young man who was not far away, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of self-shame and did not dare to make eye contact with Wei Wuji's eyes.

"Wei Wuji, the king sent an edict, why don't you quickly stand in the middle of the train!" Wei Chengze scolded angrily, this could dilute his inexplicable feeling.

However, the sonorous footsteps were not affected, and they just walked straight to Wei Chengze's side.

Wei Chengze was angry, and he found that in the intersection of he and Wei Wuji, he was angry almost every time.

"Now let you be rampant, and when the edict is read later, see how proud you are!" Wei Chengze sneered in his heart, but there was still a sting in his heart, his brother, who was responsible for the king's life, couldn't suppress his younger brother.

At this time, the heavy footsteps also stopped abruptly, and Wei Wuji had already come to Wei Chengze.

If he hadn't stood on the steps, Wei Chengze would have been able to fall down quickly under Wei Wuji's momentum.

Even now, although Wei Wuji stood at the foot of the steps, he still couldn't hide his tallness in the eyes of others.

"Who is my Dao monarch envoy, but I never thought it was you, second brother!" Wei Wuji's voice sounded in the courtyard, and the clear voice made everyone's expressions flutter.

"For my brother, I can only do some errands for my father, but I can't sleep on my pillow as my fifth brother!" Wei Chengze said sarcastically.

Wei Wuji didn't care, his face was already thick.

The other party was not energetic, and Wei Chengze didn't think it was interesting, so he stretched his sleeves and took out the edict in his arms.

"The Emperor's Edict ......"

As soon as these three words came out, more than 100 people in the courtyard all knelt down, and Wei Wuji also knelt on the ground slowly, and he could guess the general content of the edict in his heart.

Sure enough, with Wei Chengze's reading, it was roughly the same as Wei Wuji's thoughts.

The edict first praised Wei Wuji, Qu Weidao and other merits, and brought peace to Wei; The second is to let Wei Chengze replace Qu Weidao as the official envoy of Wei, and be fully responsible for the final negotiations with the nations; The third is...... Wei Wuji was going to Qi as a hostage for a period of three years.

This is also the result of Wei Hou's efforts, otherwise, according to the intentions of those courtiers, they would have planned to hold Wei Wuji hostage for ten years.

After reading the edict, Wei Chengze saw that Wei Wuji's face was calm, and he didn't have the slightest gaffe to take the loss of quality, and he didn't even jump his eyelids.

"Fifth brother, I will go to Qi Country, if there is any difficulty, just say it!" Wei Chengze said with a smile, but he began to tease Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't bother the second brother, I have heard that the prosperity of Linzi in the Qi Kingdom is abnormal, and this time I can go and take a look,"

Seeing that Wei Wuji still looked indifferent, Wei Chengze's face sank, and then he laughed twice, and then said: "The fifth brother should take care of himself when he goes, don't worry, although your mother is imprisoned in Zongzheng Mansion, she is also taken care of by me, and nothing can happen." ”

Wei Chengze stood with his hands in his hands, sneering in his heart, he didn't believe that this kid could still remain calm. Looking at the people below, a long-lost sense of control was suffocating.

And this time, Wei Wuji's face did change this time, and it became ugly, and the whole person was full of murderous intent.

He slowly looked up at Wei Chengze who was looking up, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised, and then he raised his legs and walked forward.
