Chapter 22 Retreat is advance
Looking at this plate of pastries, Tian Buli smiled bitterly. Although I don't know if this is a test for him by the two ladies, this clear gift, if it is in the eyes of someone with a heart, it is a bit excessive.
"Sir, let's go back." The guard beside him said. Although he was a little envious of Tian Buru, he also knew that this kind of honor was not something that a small person like himself could get.
Tian Buli thought for a while and said, "Let's go, let's go to Lord Sikong." ”
"Where to Sikong? Isn't it too late. The guard said suspiciously, and then looked at him ambiguously, "What's more, the lord is holding the pastry given by the lady, isn't it for Lord Sikong to taste it?" Let's talk about it after you've finished eating. ”
"Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and lead the way." As he spoke, he took the lead in running towards Sikong's big tent. The guard saw that this master was determined to disturb Sikong, so he had to sigh, saying that this guy didn't understand human feelings, and followed him to Sikong's big tent.
Zhao Cheng had just finished freshening up and was about to go to bed, when he heard that Tian Buli was visiting, he agreed, changed his clothes and walked out. And Tian Buli also put the pastries in his hand on top of several cases and saluted Zhao Cheng.
"Mr. Tian, if you come to visit late at night, you must have something to report." Zhao Cheng was not polite to him, and still said in a serious tone, but he happened to catch a glimpse of a few pastries on the case, and asked suspiciously, "What is this plate of pastries?" ”
Tian Buli didn't want to see Zhao Cheng give him a good look, and said in a proper manner: "Back to Sikong, the subordinates follow the arrangement of the adults, patrol the camp tent every night, and dare not slack off. Today, seeing that the adults have not rested, I came in to meet the adults. Wan Wang did not disturb the rest of the adults. ”
Zhao Cheng waved his hand, looking at him with a serious expression, "It's okay, the old man is old and sleeps less." However, since Lord Tian is visiting the old man, why did he bring this plate of pastries? Do adults have something to ask for? ”
"There's something to tell." Tian Buli nodded and said to Zhao Cheng: "During the night patrol just now, the subordinate was careless, and his foot was broken, so that the pain was unbearable, and it was quite difficult to walk. ”
Zhao Cheng was slightly startled, but he didn't show it, but his eyes squinted at Tian Buli's feet.
According to his judgment, unless he was blind, there was absolutely no problem with Tian Buli's feet. But why did he quit the job? Could there be something else going on?
"In my opinion, Lord Tian's feet don't seem to be in serious trouble, so why should he quit his errand?"
"My lord, this is an internal injury, and it can't be seen from the outside." Tian Buli also responded expressionlessly.
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he almost vomited three liters of blood. You are a cultural person, and you have internal injuries, do you think you are a miracle doctor or a boss. However, he himself has an excellent face, and the other party doesn't say anything about this kind of thing, he would rather find the answer by himself than ask. Then he thought about it and nodded in response: "In this case, please also ask Lord Tian to recuperate with peace of mind, and when his body recovers as before, he will receive a new errand again." ”
"Thank you, Sikong-sama." Tian Buli bowed, got up, picked up the pastries on a few cases, and said to Zhao Cheng: "Today's inspection, the two new ladies are a little concerned about the subordinates and gave some pastries. Since the adults are still dealing with things, why don't you leave it to the adults and make all the refreshments. ”
"I see!" Zhao Cheng looked at Tian Buli's faint expression, and sneered in his heart: Why did I say why did you Tian Buli insist on quitting his errand, it turned out that he felt that the new lady had responded a little excessively, and she had found a balance on her side. And I was afraid that I would refuse after I found out, so I set myself a trap first, so that I had no way to take back the order. Sure enough, it's a good calculation.
"This, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Zhao Cheng tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and said indifferently: "This is a pastry given by Mrs. to Mr. If the old minister is contaminated, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate for the new lady to know." ”
"What is this, the lord just said that it was sent by the minister, what is there to hide? If the real lady is to blame, the subordinate will bear it. Tian Buli also looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said righteously.
"In that case, I will accept it."
"Your Majesty, retire." Tian Buli said and slowly withdrew from Zhao Cheng's tent. Looking at the figure of him leaving, Zhao Cheng snorted coldly, didn't even look at the pastry, and turned back to his bed.
Sure enough, the next day, Zhao Cheng rearranged the night patrol, and unexpectedly, the candidate turned out to be Li Zhuo. This arrangement not only made Fu Ding and Sima Qian incomprehensible, but even Tian Buli was a little surprised, he always felt that according to Zhao Cheng's thoughts, the candidate must be Li Dui. It's a good errand to get on good terms with the new lady.
But for some reason, he actually chose Li Zhuo, which surprised everyone, and at the same time, let others see that Jiang is old and spicy, which is true.
"I walked away from Tian Buru, and came with Li Zhuo. It's really hard to guess what this thing has done. Zhong Ji watched the maid go to reply to Li Zhuo, who came to report, and couldn't help but say.
"Hehe, this, Zhao Guojun's uncle, is really unexpected. It seems that our husband's life is not comfortable. As soon as I exited, I found that I had lost my words.
"Haha, sister, you haven't really married in the church, so you will call your husband first. It seems that you have long been ready to be the wife of Zhao Guojun. Zhong Ji also heard the gaffe in Bo Ji's words, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What crazy are you talking about, go and rest." Bo Jiqiao's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help but be coquettish. Although she can still pretend to be well-versed in the world these days, she can't hide her true identity as a girl. The deceit in the palace polluted her senses, but it still kept her innocent.
"Okay, okay, I'll go rest, you still think about your husband slowly." Zhong Ji said, laughing and leaving, forgetting to even salute.
"No big or small girl." Becky sneered. And her palace people, seeing her shy appearance, couldn't help but snicker. Bo Ji became more and more shy, but said calmly: "Wait." ”
"I really don't know, Zhao Yong, what kind of guy is he?" Lying on the bed, Berge couldn't help but think.
In the camp tent not far away, Zhong Ji looked at the moon and couldn't help but recall the day when Zhao Yong's confident expression slowly fell asleep.
At the same time, in Handan City, Zhao Yong was sitting behind a few cases, listening to the letter from Situ Zhao Bao and Sima Wu Guang with Le Yi and Pang Cong.
"Your Majesty, according to the meaning of the letter, Yan Guo sent an envoy to watch the ceremony this time, but he really had the intention of negotiating peace." After Zhao Bao knelt down for a few cases, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said to Zhao Yong.
"They don't seem to have a choice in this matter." Wu Guang said, "According to the order of the king, General Zhao Lao constantly sent cavalry to harass Shanggu Pass, so that Yan Guo was always worried and wanted to fight, but he did not dare to attack. It is said that because of this incident, Yan Guo himself quarreled. ”
"Oh? If so? Zhao Yong suddenly became interested.
"Naturally, it's true, and it's almost known to the streets now." Wu Guang said, "There are two factions within the Yan Kingdom, one is the prince's faction that supports the prince, and the other is the faction of the prince who supports Xiangbang. The two factions often quarrel over some political disagreements. Almost every citizen of Yan knows it. ”
"So this time, I don't know who occupies the top?" Zhao Yong asked.
"Naturally, it's the son, but it's his brother who was arrested this time. How could he sit idly by and watch him live alone in my Zhao Kingdom? Wu Guang said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, it is indeed a great achievement to be able to catch the sub-period this time. Not only did it completely reverse the decline of Yan Guo, but also grasped the initiative in negotiations, so Yan Guo sent people to contact the matter of returning to China in the sub-period.
If that's the case, Lone really doesn't want to force him to stay. After all, there are no idlers here. As long as Yan Guo doesn't make trouble for Gu, Gu doesn't mind sending him back to Yan Guo. Zhao Yong also said humorously.
"Even so, you should be careful." Le Yi's planning this time was meritorious, and it also made Zhao Yong appreciate his military insights. However, if a foreign talent like him suddenly becomes rich and rich, I am afraid it will be another trouble. So he just became a secretary, and he has no real power for the time being.
"Definitely. In today's form, the princes of all countries want to seek land, and if it is because of this matter, they believe in the paper agreement of the Yan State, it will be too simple. You still have to pay more attention, the embankment Yan State is treacherous. Pang Cong's point of view is also similar to Le Yi's, in his opinion, even if Yan Guo is hurt this time, the other party may not be watching. If you don't take advantage of it, you are a fool.
The others also nodded, thinking that what Le Yi said was very reasonable, Yan Guo was willing to take risks this time, and he might not take risks again, so he must make all plans.
As soon as Zhongqing said, Lone also remembered. This matter really needs to be carefully considered, and it is best to let Yan Guo have no time to take care of him. Of course, if Yan Guo could destroy himself by himself, Lone would be the happiest. Zhao Yong spread his hands and said jokingly. In the past few days of the military operation in Daijun, he has also been unable to sleep and eat, and this time he was able to defeat the Yan army, which really gave him some confidence and made him feel that in this troubled world, maybe he could still survive.
"Your Excellency is really joking, Yan Kingdom is a big country after all, how can it be possible to destroy itself by itself?" Zhao Bao saw that Zhao Yong was in a good mood, and couldn't help but joke.
Situ's words are a bit of a fluke, let me ask the past and present, from ancient times to the present, all of them have experienced division and integration, even if they are as powerful as the Zhou Dynasty, has it not become the current pattern of the Seven Heroes competing for hegemony? It can be seen that the things of the world are unpredictable. Pang Cong said.
"Yes, it's as strong as the Jin Kingdom, isn't it also for Han Zhao Wei?" Zhao Yong did not shy away from his own history, "So this matter of harmony is inaccurate." ”
"Indeed, when the Jin State rejected the Chu State in the south and the Qin State in the west, it can be said that it was incomparably powerful, and it was finally replaced by the three families. You must know that the limelight of Chu back then was more than it is now. Le Yi also said.
Just when everyone was gossiping, Zhao Yong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of an old thing he had seen, and then slapped a few cases violently, and said happily: "Lone knows how to deal with Yan Guo." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at him and looked at him, not knowing what kind of nerves they had.
Zhao Yong glanced at everyone and said proudly: "Don't stop stealing gold!" ”
