Chapter Seventy-Eight: King Zhao

Yecheng

Zhao Wangfu

Listening to the bright lights in the political hall, Sun Xiu stood quietly and lowered his hands under the hall, waiting for His Royal Highness King Zhao to make a decision.

Sima Lun stood on the steps, after he listened to Sun Xiu's news, he whispered some voices that others could not hear, although he could not hear what Sima Lun was saying, but he could hear the indescribable mania in his tone.

Sun Xiu looked at Sima Lun and said in a low voice, Your Highness, this matter is extremely secretive, and no one else knows about it, and the people sent out are all henchmen, Your Highness can rest assured.

Sima Lun glanced at Sun Xiu and asked with some doubts, Junzhong, you say, does it really work for us to do this? Can that thing really help the princess get better?

Sun Xiu cautiously observed Sima Lun's expression, and said in a low voice, Your Highness, of course it is useful, if Your Majesty hadn't used this thing, he wouldn't have survived now?

Sima Lun frowned and asked, Your Majesty used this thing, didn't his body get better? A few days ago, I received news from Luoyang that His Majesty's condition is getting worse and worse, and I am afraid that time is running out.

Sun Xiu continued, Your Highness, the princess does not have any serious illnesses on weekdays, she is a good age in her prime, how can it be compared with His Majesty's body that has been hollowed out by wine?

Sima Lun glanced at Sun Xiu and said gloomily, I said Junzhong, what you said is a big rebellion, does this king want to pull you out and cut you out?

When Sun Xiu heard this, he was not afraid, he talked a lot about Sima Lun in Pingsu, Sun Xiu lowered his eyebrows and said, that villain is really going to be afraid, and he will no longer be able to serve His Highness in the future, as soon as he thinks of this, the villain feels heartache!

Sima Lun spat in the direction of Sun Xiu, and scolded with a smile, you skinless and faceless, you don't know how to be ashamed? After scolding, Sima Lun suddenly thought of something, and asked Sun Xiudao, Junzhong, you just said that you arrested a group of Xianbei people and Huns? What's going on?

Sun Xiu replied, Lord Wang, that's right, this time I caught some Huns and Xianbei people and some untouchables, and I also reaped an unexpected joy.

Sima Lun became interested and asked, what kind of surprise?

Sun Xiu replied, these Huns and Xianbei people are escorting a batch of goods, this batch of goods is weapons, there are quite a few of them, 5,000 knives, 5,000 spears, 5,000 sets of armor, and 5,000 hard bows. As for the origin of these weapons, the villain still has no clue, but one thing is certain, this batch of weapons must have come from Bingzhou.

And the state? Sima Lun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then dimmed again. Sima Lun waved his hand and said, The top priority at the moment is to cure the princess's illness first, Junzhong, the matter of quarrying will be left to you, I hope you will not disappoint this king.

After Sima Lun said this, he turned around and prepared to go out, walked a few steps, and felt a little uneasy, so he told Sun Xiu again, Junzhong, it's best not to cause anything at this juncture. After saying that, Sima Lun walked out.

Sun Xiu bowed his head, and when he heard Sima Lun's footsteps moving away, he straightened up and retreated lightly.

In the blink of an eye, in April, Sima Yan died, and all the princes of the Sima clan who were sealed outside had to enter Beijing to mourn, and King Zhao was no exception. When the new emperor took office, no matter what he did, he had to behave, and after explaining to Sun Xiu, Sima Lun went to Beijing to mourn his brother.

Just a few days after Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was dealing with some daily chores of the palace, a guard hurriedly came to Sun Xiu's side, attached to his ear and said something, Sun Xiu's expression looked a little weird, after hearing the news, he let the guard go down, Sun Xiu silently packed up the things in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

Sun Xiu muttered, how could the Xianbei people come to stir up this troubled water? This Xianbei people's fierce tightness! However, then again, the Xianbei people are all blood-drinking, and of course they are extremely fierce. Otherwise, how can they survive in such a harsh environment as the grassland?

Sun Xiu thought for a while, slowly stood up, walked to the window, picked up a leather whip, and carefully observed, this horse whip should be used by the Xianbei people of Duanbu Xianbei. And it must have been used by nobles, chieftains, and the like.

It seems that this Xianbei people are so ferocious, if they are used well, it is not a good help, but since these Xianbei people are so fierce, can they really be used as loyal dogs to guard the door? At present, the prince urgently needs a strong armed force, if he can envelop these Xianbei people in his hands, the prince may have more say in the court, even if it is released, it can also form a powerful feudal town, and he still has to plan more for the prince.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiu's brows furrowed again, he stopped, and said to himself, it's just that the Xianbei people are by nature wolf cubs who can never be fed, what if they just look like loyal dogs, but they are actually greedy jackals? Then helping the prince plan like this, isn't it just luring the wolf into the house? In the future, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame!

Sun Xiu held the horsewhip in his hand, pushed open the door, and slowly walked out, under the sunset, Sun Xiu's short shadow was also pulled out of shape, and it looked unusually long.

On the steppe

A team of Xianbei cavalry with a yellow flag is slowly marching, and the leader is Li Hu, this group of people has already rescued Helan Zhe and the Buliu Gu brothers and others, and also destroyed all the mines, killed the people in black, and the rest of the people in black ran away, Yin Lang found that this mine is a large mercury mine, and it is normal for people who have been in the mine for a long time to be weak, and the people in black must have also given these people some secret medicines.

No wonder the Buliu Gu brothers, He Lanzhe and others are quite weak, it turns out that this is the reason. After Yin Lang carefully inspected it, he followed Li Hu's team and prepared to return to the Zhanghe camp.

Yin Ran was tightly behind him, because Yin Lang's current equestrian skills were still very poor, and he would fall down if he was not careful, and the group silently walked towards the Zhanghe camp. Because everyone's mood was relatively low, plus the Buliu Gu brothers, He Lanzhe and others had already followed Li Hu and them first, and the rest of the people didn't know what to say to Yin Lang, everyone just galloped on the grassland quickly.

Yin Lang's heart was like pressing a big stone at this time, and he vaguely felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, because when he was just rummaging through the things of those men in black, he found that one of the leading people had a token on his body, and there was only one Zhao character on the front of this token. Zhao? Zhao Di? Zhao Guo? King Zhao? Or is the owner or the boss surnamed Zhao? Yin Lang didn't have a reason in his heart.

Seeing that his figure under the sunset was getting longer and longer, Yin Lang suddenly became a little worried about his fate, he quietly turned around and said to Yin Ran, Brother, we can't just rely on Brother Duan, whether it is the Xianbei people, the Huns, the Wuhuan people or something, all of them are unreliable, if our brothers want to get ahead, we have to rely on ourselves in the end!
