On the sixth day of October, 100 miles northwest of Lucheng, when the sky was overcast, a convoy of more than 10 people marched in the mist.

"It's almost time to get to Yunyi, the doctor specially instructed us to take a detour."

Zhao Wuxian's mouth went to "chase" Yang Hu's Yu Xi, but at this moment, he was sitting in the carriage, with several light knights and servants on his side, and many apprentices behind him, all vigilantly staring at the tall tiger warrior whose hands were shackled and his body was tied to the chariot.

The man had a broad forehead and thick tendrils, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at him dominantly.

"You don't have to look at me like this, Zhao Wuxian said before leaving, if you wait for one less person, you will cut off one of my brother's fingers, such an exchange is really not worth it. What's more, this place is close to Yiyi, and the Meng family and Gong Yiyang also wish I died, I won't go to my own death, we are still safe, just arrive at the boundary of Guancheng. ”

Yang Hu called Zhao Wuxian's name, and the riders and soldiers glared angrily, but Zhao Wuxian had ordered in advance not to insult him too much, so he could only endure not to beat him with a horsewhip.

Time goes back to the Five Fathers on the eve before.

At that time, Yang Hu failed to make Zhao Wuxian lose his temper with words, and immediately lowered his head and shame, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since Sanhuan is not chaotic, in this way, even if you let me go, Sanhuan, especially the Ji family, must kill me quickly." ”

Zhao Wuxian replied: "Never, exchanging the life of the monarch for the freedom of Yangzi, everyone is willing to do this deal, I have just promised to go around you, and I will naturally promise not to arrest you and return to Qufu, Lucheng." ”

Yang Hu was stunned for a moment, looking at the smiling young doctor in front of him.

"I've already broken my trust once, if I cheat Yangzi again, I will really become a repeated villain, I will let you go, you can still rebel against the city."

"Rebel against the city?" Yang Hu felt that Zhao Wuxian was fooling himself.

But Zhao Wuxian analyzed it extremely seriously: "Yuncheng is about to become my fiefdom, Feiyi is close to Lucheng, there is no room for mistakes, Yangguan is too critical, I can't let you go." In that case, let's go to the city! ”

Yang Hu felt that he couldn't see through this person anymore, on the one hand, he made himself fail with a blow to the situation, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to let go of a way out of his life after forcing himself into a desperate situation. This is in ......

"That's right, I'm just raising my own respect!"

Wuxian said with a smile: "The secretary of the country of Lu and the people of the country need a common enemy to ensure that they will not be divided, and I now need a temporarily stable country of Lu, so Yangzi will be this great enemy for the time being." ”

As long as Yang Hu is still in the day. He is the number one enemy of the Lu people, and Zhao Wuxian can hide in the shadow behind him, hide his wings, and sit in peace in the west. In the face of the advance of the Qi people and the hidden danger of the Yang Tiger, the monarchs and ministers of the Lu State will have to rely on his military guards.

Terrible!

On the rickety carriage, Yang Hu closed his eyes again, recalling his first meeting more than a month ago. At that time, Zhao Wuxian was humble, polite, and willing to live under himself, but he showed his talents from time to time to attract the attention of Yang Hu, who thought that "tiger fathers have no dogs". Zhao Wuxian should be no less than Zhao Ying in the future.

But now, when he revealed his true plans and ambitions, even Yang Hu couldn't help but tremble.

Although Zhao Wuxian's momentum is not as good as Zhao Ying's, his mind is unfathomable, the layout is meticulous, Yang Hu has been busy for half his life, once proud of the country of Lu and the heroes of the world, but now he has a sense of powerlessness.

In the world of great contention, this kind of person is the easiest to have the last laugh.

He began to lament for the future of Lu Guosanhuan. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Zhao Wuxian is the real tiger of the Zhao family. Perhaps, what the two want to do is the same in the end: Zhuan Lu! That's why he expelled himself as his biggest competitor.

But Yang Hu is not willing to be toyed with all the time. became Zhao Wuxian's pawn.

"Although my relatives Yang Yue and henchman Ji Kou are all hostages in his hands to force me to cooperate, but once I return to Guancheng, I can't help Zhao Wuxian. Sooner or later, I will make you regret raising tigers today! ”

……

The reason why Zhao Wuxian let Yang Hu go to Guancheng had another purpose.

Guancheng is close to the main town of the Meng clan.

The Meng clan is one of the most dynamic clans in the Lu country today. If Gongyang, Nangong Yue, and Zifu He are fully assisted, even if Meng Sun He is mediocre, the Meng family will also become the head of the three Huan, and it may cause a situation where one family is dominant.

This is not beneficial to Zhao Wuxian's plans in the Lu State, so his purpose of "raising self-respect", in addition to letting Sanhuan and the Lu people have a common enemy so as not to split the fire too early, can also make the Meng clan like a man. Gong Zhiyang was distracted by Guancheng, consuming troops and energy, so that Wuxian had time to complete the layout of balancing the internal forces of the Lu State.

There are indeed hidden dangers in the return of the Yang Tiger to the mountain, but most of the hidden dangers are not borne by Zhao Wuxian, so why not?

In the early morning of this day, after a day and a night of bans, the court meeting of the Luguo Palace was held as scheduled.

Yanghu retreated to the inner city that day, and the most severely destroyed was the North Palace, so Lu Hou is now in the South Palace, and Zhao Wuxian saw along the way, the palace pavilions, the high platform bronze beasts, and still the majesty of the eastern powers.

However, the damage left by the previous civil strife was too late to repair, and it was still shocking, like a graceful deep coat that had been torn open with a big hole. Scenes of the collapse of the walls and the burning of the palace gates can be seen everywhere, inevitably revealing a hint of decay and destruction.

It's like the continuation of the 500-year continuation of the Duchy of Zhou, the glory has long faded away, and now the wind and rain have come, and it is crumbling.

Although Lu Cheng has changed, there are still a lot of courtiers who come to the palace, and this is the first court meeting after the return of Lu Hou, in addition to rewarding meritorious deeds, in order to walk around in front of the ministers and let them feel at ease.

After resting for a night, Lu Hou, who had recovered a little of his spirits, wore the costumes of the princes of the nine chapters, and came surrounded by seven or eight vertical temples.

According to the usual practice, Lu Hou first asked people to read out an indictment condemning the rebellion of the courtier Yang Hu, and said that all the experiences of Lu Guo over the years were the evil of Yang Hu alone, and said that he would never be forgiven.

However, under the planning of Zhao Wuxian and Ji's family, except for Yang Hu's main henchmen, most of the other accomplices could be pardoned, and Meng also seconded this.

In fact, this is also helpless, Yang Hu has been in charge of the Lu State for several years, not everyone has hard bones and will not give in, even Confucius bowed his head, not to mention that there are countless sons and daughters of the clan who are rebellious. If they are all killed, the clan will have to be at least one-third less, and at that time, every family in Lu City will be unacceptable, which is unacceptable to the Lu people who have always advocated "kissing".

Next, it is time to be rewarded, and the person who has made the first contribution is naturally Zhao Wuxian.

The benefits of Wuxi's need were preliminarily determined as early as when he conspired with the Meng clan against Yang Hu, but because the credit was too great this time: first he reported the news of Yang Hu's move, and then he took the risk to save Ji Sun and seize the west of the city. Later, the battle under the thorns was also the main force, and in the end, he chased with light horses and rescued Lu Hou.

As a result, Zhao Wuxian was directly promoted from the lower doctor to the upper doctor by Lu Hou, who was kind to him, and all the ministers in the court were shocked for a while, and even Zhao Wuxian was stunned by this sudden appointment.

"Doctor?"

Ji Sunsi smiled, as if Zhao Wuxian deserved it at this time, while Mengsun He Ji was shocked.

"Doctor of sixteen years old!"

Not to mention the Lu country, even among the princes is unheard of!

If it is not hereditary, this position can only be done in the thirties and forties, even if it is a monarch and a prince with good roots, no one can be so young and in such a high position!

Zhao Wuxian is not the secretary of the Lu State, so the doctor is the highest position he can achieve in the Lu State, which also means that he can open a mansion in Lu City and hold an important position to participate in the government.

However, Zhao Wuxian's voice resounded through the wide court.

"Resignation!"

Faced with this unexpected appointment, Zhao Wuxian paced out after thinking twice and began to push.

"Please resign!"

Once, twice, three times, this is the usual "three lets", that is, the ancient princes ascended the throne and the ministers were sealed as a humble gift, and Lu Hou didn't care, and he sealed it again and again, looking at Zhao Wuxian earnestly.

However, the fourth time, Zhao Wuxian was still prevaricating, and Lu Hou and the Ji clan in the palace suddenly changed slightly.

"The ministers were not effective, causing Yang Hu to abscond, Ji Ning is nowhere to be found, and he is guilty, not enough to accept this heavy knight!"

His attitude was resolute, even at the expense of his own merits, Lu Hou was a little at a loss, he looked at Ji Sun Si and Meng Sun He Ji and asked for their opinions.

The two scholars also looked at each other, and after persuasion to no avail, in the end, Ji Sunsi had to reluctantly smile and say: "Then, it will be changed to a middle doctor, how so?" ”

Zhao Wuxian accepted this knighthood, and some courtiers were also relieved, the position of the middle doctor, but he did not suddenly become a doctor, which made people shocked and jealous.

Zhao Wuxian thanked him but secretly sneered: "I don't know who gave Ji Sunsi the idea, this is to put me on the fire to roast!" ”

Doctor Shang can indeed participate in the affairs of the court and state, but the forces in Lucheng are intricate and it is a trip to troubled waters, and Zhao Wuxian is not willing to enter the court alone for the time being. Wuxian has no foundation in Lucheng, and managing the West well is the priority in the coming year, so he took the initiative to take a step back.

In fact, in the past two days, there have been rumors in Lucheng that Zhao Wuxian's exploits this time are comparable to the killing of the powerful minister Qingfu back then, turning the tide to Ji You!

For this metaphor with ulterior motives, Meng's face was of course extremely ugly, and Zhao Wuxian also knew that this was Ji's small trick to make Zhao Wuxian and Meng evil each other.

Zhao Wuxian didn't care about it at first, but combined with the title of the doctor who was suddenly awarded to him by the court today, Wuxian realized that someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill him!

That's right, it was to kill him, and take the initiative to help him promote a reputation that has no practical meaning, so that Meng Shi deepened his jealousy of him. Zhuo Ba became a doctor, which made all the courtiers and doctors jealous, if he rashly entered Lu City, he might be bound by the intricate interests of his hands.

"The Ji family is also smart, with one hand to unite with me to beware of the Meng family, but with the other hand, he is clearly depreciating and calculating me, Yang Hu said that Sanhuan is extremely xenophobic, which is true, this is not guaranteed, and he began to dig a pit for his allies. Hey, the shaft is not enough to conspire with it! (To be continued.) )
