This is the first time Zhao Wuxian has seen the head of the Handan family, Zhao Wu - it is not necessary to call him Handan Wu, after all, he has come out of the five suits and is independent as a clan. But since the powerful Zhao Ying inherited the position of the head of the family, he declared in the family law that the small sect can only call himself Zhao in front of the big sect. Up and down the Zhao family, there is only one surname, one sect master, and one voice!

At this moment, Zhao Wu, who was about forty years old, knelt down in the hall wearing cloth clothes, behaving very simple and low-key, as if he was a minister who was to be punished, and he also looked trembling in front of Zhao Ying, calling himself "Brother Wu".

Zhao Wu can't be afraid, the uncles and brothers in the family, and even his son have persuaded him not to come to Wen County, the Zhao family is determined to win the Handan clan, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to him, and he will be detained at least and killed at worst!

But he couldn't help but come, not to mention that after the victory of the last war against Qi, as a reward, Zhao Ying regained the de jure control over Handan from the Marquis of Jin. Let's just say that in the past few years, Zhao Wuxian's foothold in Lu and Song, as well as the continuous attacks on the defense of the country, have made the Handan clan tremble.

After the difficulty of going to the palace, the Zhao family faced the trouble of scattered territory and family division, which was difficult to effectively control. The original nest of the Zhao family was in Wen, in the southern part of the Jin Kingdom; After Zhao Ying took charge, he focused on running Jinyang in the northern part of the Jin Kingdom, and the family residence was immediately transferred. The territory of the Handan clan is in the Hebei Plain in the east of the Jin Kingdom, separated from the Taihang Mountain by Dazong.

In this era, the Taihang Eight Provinces have not yet been completely opened, and the only few passes are still in the hands of Xianyu, Zhi, Fan, and Han. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to communicate from Jinyang to Handan, and it is difficult to count on the large number of large quantities for a long time. The centrifugal force was thus generated, and the two relatives became more and more separated. The rift is also getting bigger.

On the contrary, the center of gravity of the territory of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family was in Chaoge and Dongyang in the eastern part of the Jin Kingdom. Adjacent to Handan, Handan naturally has to rely on the protection and care of the two families. Coupled with the fact that they have been married to the Bank of China clan for several generations, in the eyes of the Handan clan, it is the Bank of China that wants to be close to the Zhao family.

But in recent years, the situation in the world has changed, and when the contact between the East and West Zhao was opened, Zhao Wu found that Zhao Wuxian's Eastern Zhao cavalry set off from Xilu and only needed ten days to cross the river. Rush to Handan. The apprentices of Wen County only needed more than ten days to be able to attack the city of Handan.

On the contrary, Fan and Bank of China suffered successive defeats and losses, and they were quite surrounded by East and West Zhao.

Seeing that the great sect was becoming more and more prosperous, after weighing the pros and cons, the timid and cautious Zhao Wu did not dare to make a mistake, he ignored the obstruction of his uncle and brothers, took advantage of Zhao Wuxian to get married, and rushed to Wen County to meet the Zhao father and son.

When Zhao Wu was leaving, he scolded those who blocked him: "What do you know? The thing that Fan Bo and Zhongxing Bo did was to drag my Handan into the war! If the three go to war, no matter which side Handan joins. It will become the center of chaos, and it is my family who suffers! Rather than that, try to be neutral! ”

Since Fan and Bank of China are difficult to protect themselves, Handan naturally has to leave a way back for themselves.

So he behaved very deferentially in the hall. As soon as it came, it was proposed to transfer all the artisan population obtained by attacking and defending in recent years to Dazhu.

500 craftsmen may not seem like much, but in fact it is a valuable asset. Especially the patriotic handicraft industry developed, once get them. It will definitely make Jinyang's manual level to a higher level!

Zhao Luoxi, who was sitting next to him, smiled, Handan can do this. It does seem to be a sincere surrender.

But Zhao Ying didn't accept it immediately, but asked rhetorically: "The five hundred Weiren craftsmen, didn't Fan and Bank of China want you to transfer them to Weiguo?" Why, are you now unwilling to obey the commands of the Prophet? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wu was shocked, his color changed, he didn't sit down for a while, he actually fell off the couch and sat on the ground!

……

Zhao Wu didn't care about the poor image of sitting on the ground, he looked at Zhao Ying, who had a slightly gloomy face and cold tiger eyes, and then looked at Zhao Wuxian, who was smiling and smiling, and the poisonous snake was hissing, and he broke out in a cold sweat for a while.

It seems that the father and son know everything!

Zhao Wuxian got up and came over to help him up, and said, "Uncle, don't panic, the plan of Fan and Zhongxing, Prince Weiguo has already informed us of everything." Not only did they not attack each other with Qi and Wei during the war, but they also wanted to win over Handan to participate in it, and sit and watch the Zhao family fight hard with Qi and Wei, and the 500 craftsmen who defended the country were also used to make peace with Qi Wei, am I right? ”

"I ...... I don't actually know the details......" Zhao Wu smiled dryly, wanting to prevaricate the past, he now regrets his move to Wen County, isn't this sending himself into the tiger's mouth?

But he heard Zhao Ying, who was sitting in front of the hall, shouting angrily: "Those five hundred guards are in your hands, and Fan and Bank of China want to exchange this, how can you not know?" Handan and Zhao have been separated from Germany for many years, although you want to learn from Gongshu Duan, I don't want to be the evil Zheng Zhuang Gong, and then dare not tell the truth, don't blame me for making you unable to return to Handan in this life! ”

Zhao Wu's legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he bowed down to the chief.

Zhao Wuxian also said faintly: "Uncle, I know that your family has an in-law relationship with the Bank of China, but I can't write two Zhao characters in one stroke, Handan and Zhao, Bank of China, you still have to figure it out!" ”

"Naturally, I am closer to the Zhao family...... No, no, we have always been the Zhao family. ”

As if grasping a life-saving straw, in order to let Zhao Ying calm his anger, Handan Ji began to complain, began to trace the origin of Zhao and Handan, and claimed to have changed from "Brother Wu" to "Chen Wu".

With a hint of crying, he walked a few steps on his knees emotionally, and said in front of Zhao Ying's case: "Lord! Zhao Chengzi's bloodline not only flows in the bodies of the great sects, but also in our bodies. The younger brother's ancestor Handan Jun Wear (Zhao Chuan) fought against the Qin people in the river meander for Zhao Xuanzi, and also killed Jin Linggong for him, and was pointed out by Wanfu without repentance. ”

"Chen's great-grandfather is also (Zhao Zhan), who fought side by side with Zhao Zhuangzi, Ping Bo (Zhao Kuo), Lou Zhong (Zhao Yingqi), and Yuan Shu (Zhao Tong) during the Battle of Yi. On the banks of the great river, the right army of Chu pursued endlessly, and it was he who stood up and gave up the two good horses to Dazong's uncle, so that they could evacuate smoothly, and he was almost captured. After the difficulty of the lower palace, Zhao Wenzi was reinstated, and Handan, as the chief general of the new army at that time, also contributed a lot from it...... Although Handan did share with the great sect a few years ago, Zhao and Handan. It's really a blood relative connected by flesh and blood! How dare I deceive? ”

"What Zhao Wu said is actually right." Zhao Wuxian thought to himself, Zhao has a deep relationship with Handan. Once upon a time, it was completely like family. Those who have helped each other.

But this is the inadequacy of the patriarchal system, with the estrangement of the bloodline, the affection between the two families is finally diluted by the immediate interests.

Not to mention distant relatives like Zhao and Handan, King Zhou Huan and Zheng Zhuanggong, who have not yet come out of the five suits, are not playing dog brains. The small sect wants to be independent and defend their own interests diplomatically and militarily, while the big sect wants them to always be the little brother and the barrier. Do you tolerate your hands and feet becoming self-conscious and your elbows turning outward during a fight?

Naturally not! This is an irreconcilable contradiction, so no matter whether it is soft or hard, the Zhao family must make Handan succumb!

Zhao Wu's words seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, not only Zhao Luo sighed, but even Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but be slightly moved when he heard it.

But Zhao Ying just smiled coldly: "You still remember, you didn't forget your ancestors!" ”

In fact, they said in advance that Zhao Ying was responsible for singing white face, and Wu Xian was responsible for singing red face. He persuaded and said: "Don't worry, father, my uncle probably also wants to confess to the big sect because he is the identity of the Zhao family's small sect and doesn't want to participate in the conspiracy of Fan and Bank of China to plot against the Zhao family, right?" ”

What else can Zhao Wu say now. The small life was saved in the hands of the Zhao father and son, and he had to promise to know what he knew. The hookup between Fan, Bank of China and Qi and Wei was fully revealed. It's just that Zhao Ying had a stroke that year, and Fan Ying asked Fan Ji to shoot to persuade him to betray Zhao.

"It turned out that as early as the year before last, when I was fighting with the Qi people. Fan and Bank of China have already hooked up with Qi Renwei people......" Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Wuxian: "It can supplement the testimony of the prince of Shangwei Guo." ”

Only then did he turn pale, and asked Zhao Wuxian to sit down with Zhao Wu, whose forehead was red.

Wuxian held Zhao Wu's trembling arm and comforted: "It is Fan and Bank of China who are traitors, and my uncle can restrain himself from the precipice, and it is enough to come to Wen County to denounce them!" ”

"Rebel...... Treason? ”

Zhao Wu was stunned, this is far from treason, can it, which Qing clan has not been with foreign enemies? In the final analysis, he just wanted to throw the five hundred hot potatoes to the Zhao family and try to remain neutral as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuxian gave Fan and Bank of China such a big hat at once, and forced him to join Zhao's camp.

Zhao Wuxian insisted on it: "That's right, it's treason!" After my wedding, my uncle didn't have to go back to Handan, he went directly to Xintian with me, and together with the prince of Weiguo, he entered the Qiqi Palace to report Fan and Zhongxing to the monarch. If this is the case, you will be able to make the first complaint, not only will you not be punished, but you can even divide the two families afterwards! ”

"If you don't want to ......" Zhao Ying's tone was cold, and the iron palm crushed a fruit in his hand, and the pale red juice dripped down his palm, like blood.

"You remember it for me, since the Zhao clan can separate the Handan clan, it can naturally be wiped out!"

……

The Jin Kingdom not only has six secretaries, but also more than a dozen doctors, most of whom are proficient in observing words and feelings, and they are also relatively well-informed. Since Zhao Ying's defeat of the Qi people in the snow field, and then Zhao Wuxian's rise in the east, he was promoted to the secretary of Lu State, and the small countries of Sishang were all subdued, and the more sensitive doctors have already felt the strength of the Zhao family.

The strength of the Jin State has changed, and the East and West Zhao are one, which is the Jin State, and even the strongest secretary in the world!

The doctor's family has survived until now by relying on the trend of inflammation, and it coincided with the wedding of Zhao Wuxian and Song Guole's lady, and the Qing family, who were good friends with the Zhao family, naturally sent all their children to come, and those doctors who were trying to survive in the cracks could also take advantage of this matter to show goodwill to the Zhao family.

So on the eve of the wedding, there were many invited guests, and there were even many uninvited.

No, Zhao Wuxian flipped through the thick gift list and guest list, and saw many familiar and unfamiliar names from it.

Among them are his friends, and there are his enemies, or enemies and friends......
