Three days later, Wen County, known as the "Land of Nanyang".

Wen County is located in the west of the North Henan Plain, south of the Yellow River, north of Taihang, here was originally the hometown of the demon concubine Daji, there is the Su family. When the Jin Dynasty was presented, the Di people who went south along the Taihang Dynasty extinguished Wen, and the Su family, which had been inherited for thousands of years, died out from there.

After the Di people were repelled by the Duke of Qi Huan, Zhou Tianzi took the opportunity to take back Wendi as a territory in Jinei. When he arrived at the Duke of Wen of Jin, because he led his troops to help King Xiang of Zhou restore the throne, King Xiang gave the "Land of Nanyang" south of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River, including more than ten towns including Yuan and Wen, to the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin State obtained Wendi, which could be used as the front line to march into the Central Plains, and Duke Wen set up a town here and appointed Hu Qin as the first Wen doctor. Subsequently, Wendi fell into the hands of the Zhao family, and in the era of Zhao Xuanzi, it was once the central city of the Zhao family, until the difficulty of the lower palace, and it was lost and recovered.

Zhao Wenzi didn't like the greedy and reckless eldest son Zhao Shu, so he changed his concubine Zhao to become the prince. Zhao was left behind in Wen County to take care of the ancestral temple of the Zhao family, and after his death, his son Zhao Luo succeeded him as the doctor of Wen County.

At this moment, Zhao Luo, who was bloated and dressed in brocade, accompanied by Chen Dingguo, a retainer of the Le family, watched and waited on the city together.

"It's coming, it's coming!" The sharp-eyed county official pointed to the team at the end of the road and reported to Zhao Luo.

Zhao Luo held the high crown and squinted his eyes, but saw a long line of ink sketches coming in the distance—this is the color of mourning clothes.

Zhao Luo secretly said that it was not good: "It seems that the news from Yuan County is true, Le Da Sicheng is dead!" ”

Chen Dingguo on the side also let out a cry of pain, he is the younger brother of Chen Yin, the head of the Le family, and his position is a priest. This time, he brought a soldier of the Le clan, borrowed the road from Weiguo, and came to Wendi to wait for the lord, who expected to wait. But it was the news of Le Qi's death.

A moment later, the west gate of Wenxian County was opened, and the silent team rushed in. Zhao Luo looked forward to it. finally saw his only son Zhao Guangde, who had lost a lot of weight, in the crowd, so he pulled him to shush him and ask for warmth. Let's see if there are any injuries on the body.

After being away from home for more than half a year, Zhao Guangde was a little unaccustomed to his father's spoiling, he embarrassedly covered up the bruises that were smashed when he was escorted by Zhao Wuxian and rolled out of the car that day, gave up his position, pointed behind him and said: "Father, this is Cousin Wuxian, cousin, this is my father." Dr. Wen County. ”

Zhao Luo looked behind his son, and saw a young gentleman standing with a sword hanging up, he was wearing a plain crown, wearing an ink suit, and was holding the carriage pulling the black coffin, his face was sad and cold, and his eyes showed a bit of majesty.

Zhao Wuxian waved his sleeves and saluted: "The kid has seen his uncle." ”

For Zhao Wuxian, who may become the future head of the family, Zhao Luo did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the courtesy.

Then he asked in confusion, "Nephew, what happened?" ”

……

Three days ago. A group of people were attacked in the intestines of sheep, and Le Qi died.

After grief, he did not know if there were any Assassin accomplices in the mountains. So Zhao Wuxian immediately urged everyone to set off and rushed to Yuan County before dark.

As a hardcore ally, Han's former county doctor treated Zhao Wuxian and the others as respectfully and thoughtfully as he treated the sovereign. This assassination took place in Han's territory, so he didn't dare to slack off, and the next day after the snow stopped, he immediately sent troops to Dasuo to investigate the surrounding roads and investigate passers-by.

But the heavy snow that fell overnight had already covered some of the trails, and the mountain searchers had found nothing. Only one hunter in the mountains revealed that it was near the intestines of sheep. I had seen a young man in gray with a long sword walking towards the north of the mountain.

Le Lingzi woke up the next day, and she wiped away her tears. Qiang gritted his teeth to clean Le Qi's body, and put it in the coffin, and then stayed by the side sullenly, not eating or drinking.

Wuxian knew that she was sad in her heart, so he caressed her petite shoulders and tried to comfort her, and at the same time sent a messenger back to Xinjiang to inform Jin Hou and Zhao Ying of the matter.

He summoned Zigong, who was more familiar with the relationship between the princes, to consult, and came to the conclusion that after Le Qi's death, Zhao Wuxian's mission could be regarded as a failure.

Zigong believes that without Le Qi as an intermediary, whether it is Zhao Le's marriage or the Jin and Song alliances, there is a lack of an important guarantee. The people of Qi and the assassination mastermind hidden behind the scenes wanted, and this is the result.

On the night when he accompanied Lingzi in Yuan County and guarded Le Qi's spirit, Zhao Wuxian also reflected on himself in the cold and snowy night, reflecting on why the originally good situation was reversed.

"From beginning to end, Zhao was too passive, his father kept trying to break the game, he married Le's, but he fell into Fan Ying's trap and lost a game on the winter solstice last year; Later, because of my appearance, the Zhao family entered Tao City and Su City strongly, swept most of the corn in the family of the Qing doctor around Xinjiang, laid a good economic foundation, and won back a game. ”

But during the seven days that his father fainted, the Zhao family was still passively defensive, although in the end he won by luck and received a lot of compensation, and Le Qi was also released. I thought I had won, but the enemy was too cunning, and a new conspiracy began to weave when the previous one failed, and although I was careful all the way, I crashed into it and killed Lebo......"

The mind of Wuxian is getting clearer and clearer, but the heart is getting colder and colder: "The reason is that our actions are always half a beat slower and always fall into passivity. I focused on improving my strength, which is indeed the right way to change everything, but I ignored the strange way of taking the initiative to cause trouble for the other party. ”

"With the right coincidence, with the odd victory, so this time, we can't wait for the enemy to make a move in the original county...... You must take the initiative to fight back, Fan's is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, if you dare to break the rules, I can also kick the chessboard away! ”

As soon as he thought of this, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he suddenly realized that he understood the true meaning of "the collapse of etiquette and music" in the spring and autumn world.

So, early the next morning, Zhao Wuxian summoned all his subordinates and military officials and made such a decision.

"We will continue to go to the Song Kingdom, and we will vow to complete our mission, and we must not give up!"

If it ends like this, his first duty and first mission will end here, casting a shadow of failure, and there is even the possibility of being framed by Zhu Qing. Therefore, it is better to continue to go to the Song Kingdom as a pedestrian than to go back to Xinjiang in such a gloomy manner, and it will also disrupt the enemy's follow-up plans.

Although Zhao Wuxian suspected that the Fan clan was involved in this incident, he suffered from the lack of evidence, the incident occurred in the territory of the Han clan, and the assassin was also a tiger of the Qi Kingdom. So, he made this report in a brief note to the Marquis of Jin:

"Loeb was assassinated. It was done by the Qi people, but there must be internal responses within the Jin Kingdom! Or among the six secretaries, or the two secretaries of Fan and the Bank of China! The subordinates failed to keep Loeb safe. I should have returned to China to ask the king for my guilt. begged my father to kill me in the family temple, but in order to reconcile the Jin and Song dynasties, the subordinates could only continue to send Lebo's coffin back to China and explain the matter to the Song Duke. ”

In the brief letter to Zhao Ying, he bluntly said that Fan and the second secretary of the Bank of China were definitely involved in this matter, because in this way, the situation that was originally extremely beneficial to the Zhao family was completely reversed. Even if it would harm the interests of the Jin State and trigger a diplomatic dispute with the Song State. But with the temperament of Fan Ying and Zhong Xingyin, they don't care at all.

Wuxian asked Zhao Ying to search for evidence, and at the same time strengthen precautions, and in front of the Marquis of Jin, fully support him to continue to deal with the matter.

Seeing that after riding away with the letter, Zhao Wuxian did not stay in the original county to wait for Xinjiang's reply. In the early morning of the second day, the group said goodbye to the doctor of Yuan County, walked east along the gradually flattening avenue for most of the day, and arrived at Wen County.

……

In the Zhao Mansion in Wen County, after listening to Zhao Wuxian tell about what happened in the past few days. Zhao Luo's fat face was sweating profusely.

Assassination is something that Zhao Luo is extremely afraid of.

He was born timid and fearful, even in the rebellion of the prince's dynasty. In the face of the fish-belly-like rebels of the Zhou Chamber, he actually had the experience of abandoning the army and fleeing. Therefore, Zhao Luo felt that Wuxian should not act rashly, and had to wait for Xinjiang's order.

"What you need to do at the moment is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault. Although this mission failed, he would be cut off by the king, but if he returned to the palace for a few years, he would naturally be able to go out again...... So, it's better to rest and wait here. ”

Zhao Wuxian has made up his mind: "Uncle." If I stop there, Fan, Bank of China. Bound to use this as an excuse to lash out at me. At that time, not only will I be punished, but the prestige of the Zhao family will also be damaged. The friendship with Song Guo and Le's will also fail, there are all kinds of harm and no benefit, the matter has come to this, it is better to fight! ”

What's more, Xinjiang is currently in charge of Fan Ying, and the Marquis of Jin is also under his control, so he has no premonition that the order he receives will never be beneficial to the Zhao family!

However, even if Zhao Guangde, who was on the side, helped to speak, Zhao Luo still shook his head like a rattle. Of course, with his courage, he did not dare to forcibly leave the shirtless, but only adopted an attitude of non-cooperation and support, and resolutely did not agree to send troops to escort the shirtless eastward.

"In that case, then let the nephew take care of himself." The words are not speculative, the fat doctor flicked his sleeves, pulled Zhao Guangde and was about to turn around and leave.

Zhao Wuxian nodded to Zhao Guangde and let him leave the hall, leaving only Wuxian and Zhao Luo.

"What does my nephew want to do when he leaves my son away?" Zhao Luo was a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhao Wuxian staring at him.

"Doctor Wen wants to betray the Zhao Clan!" Zhao Wuxian didn't answer at first, and when he approached Zhao Luo, he suddenly asked loudly, which scared his shoulders and almost fell to the ground.

"What do you mean, nephew? You can't talk nonsense. He had always been timid, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Zhao Wuxian's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and said: "The Zhao family is the same as the same family, now that the kid's road is blocked, it is still unknown whether the mission can be completed, but my uncle wants to stay out of the matter?" If I don't send troops to help me, my father will be held accountable in the future, and the kid can only tell the truth, my uncle has not forgotten the appearance of Handan Wu when he knelt on the ground in Wenxian County and begged for mercy more than half a year ago! Does my uncle want to endure the wrath of the suzerain again, just like he did when he abandoned the army ten years ago? ”

Ten years ago, during the rebellion of the prince's dynasty, Zhao Wen was still the heir of Wendi, and after encountering the rebels, he retreated timidly, and was reprimanded by Zhao Ying, almost canceling his inheritance qualification. At that time, the fear deeply engraved in his heart still existed, and at this moment, facing Zhao Wuxian who broke out, he seemed to see Zhao Ying standing in front of him with tiger eyes, and he was suddenly trembling with fright, and his legs were weak and he almost fell to his knees.

"I send troops, can't I send troops? However, Wen County is different from other small sects, and the sect master must be informed when dispatching more than 100 people, so he can only give his nephew a pawn......"

Zhao Wen cried with a sad face, but he was still bargaining in his heart. But then again, his Wen County is the most honest small sect of the Zhao family, and he was suppressed by Zhao Yinghuwei. Now Zhao Luo feels that even if Zhao Ying is gone, he will be eaten to death by the young man in front of him.

So, when Zhao Wuxian came out of the hall with a smile, he gently said to Zhao Guangde that under his "pleading", Zhao Luo had "agreed" to send someone to accompany him.

Of course, a hundred people is definitely not enough, but just by scare, it seems that there will be no more, so Zhao Wuxian pulled Zhao Guangde and said this and this in his ear. (To be continued)
