Chapter 153: The Chariot Is Destroyed
A huge team outside Xindu City was getting ready to go, and Zhao Chong was standing on top of a chariot at the front. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Zhao Yu and Zhao Yu on the two chariots next to him, and frowned slightly: "What about Wuming?" Where is Wuming, doesn't he know if he goes to Handan today? Zhang Gao, didn't you convey the widow's will a few days ago? “。
"The king was angry, and the old slave was three days ago. Indeed, the will of the king was informed to the fourth prince, and the fourth prince has agreed to come." Zhang Gao heard Zhao Chong's inquiry, and hurriedly ran to the chariot to return to Zhao Chong, and at the same time felt a burst of secret joy in his heart.
Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Chong and saluted him: "Father, eunuch order has always been in order, and there should be no mistake in passing on the decree."
"Couldn't be wrong?". Zhao Chong's gaze shifted from Zhang Gao to Zhao Yan: "Since the will should have been issued a few days ago, why haven't you seen his figure at this time?" Could it be that he wants to resist the decree?"
Zhao Yu listened to Zhao Chong's words and helped Zhao Wuming explain: "Father, maybe the fourth brother has overslept, but it may not be."
"Oversleeping? Now the widow wants to take you to the outskirts of Handan and make an alliance with that Wei Ying. With such a big thing, he could actually oversleep? “。 Zhao Chong asked rhetorically at Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yan heard Zhao Chong's dissatisfied tone, and hurriedly echoed him: "Big brother, such an important matter as the alliance between the two countries, if it were you, would you miss the time?"
"This rebel relies on some military exploits, but he is so lawless, which is really disappointing to the widow." Zhao Chong's tone became more and more stern.
Listening to the words of the two, Zhao Yu could only sigh. The father's prejudice against the fourth brother is too great, and it will backfire if he persuades him.
Seeing that Zhao Yu was speechless, a smug look flashed at the corner of Zhao Yu's mouth.
In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo quickly ran to the mansion, and when they saw Sun Buer, they showed an anxious look: "Where are Sun Guards and uncle?" At this time, the king is angry in the suburbs, if he doesn't hurry over, I'm afraid that my uncle will be in trouble."
"Go? How to get there? Are we going to run? “。 Sun Buer asked rhetorically at Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Sun Buer said this: "Don't you have a chariot?" Why don't you go in a chariot".
"Wang Sun, please come with me, you will see later." Sun Buer didn't explain directly, and took Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo to a place.
Zhao Wuming looked at the several almost fragmented chariots, and his brows gradually furrowed. At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo couldn't help but be stunned: "Uncle, what the hell is going on." Why did a good chariot look like this?"
"Last night thieves secretly infiltrated this place and destroyed the chariot". Zhao Wuming's expression was a little solemn, I don't know where the thief came from, he was able to silently destroy the chariot under the noses of hundreds of guards.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming with some doubts: "There are hundreds of guards in my uncle's mansion, how can they be infiltrated by thieves."
"These people should be very familiar with this mansion, otherwise why would they be able to find this place so easily and destroy the chariot smoothly." Zhao Wuming whispered while thinking to himself.
A personal guard hurriedly walked over and saluted Zhao Wuming: "Lord Qi, we have found a secret passage leading to the outside of the mansion."
"And so it was." Zhao Wuming showed an expression of sudden realization, and then looked at Zhao Yong and the others: "Let's take a look together."
Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo nodded and followed Zhao Wuming to the front.
The guards took Zhao Wuming and the others to a place, moved the desk against the wall, and gently pushed it against the wall, revealing a secret passage.
Zhao Yong was very interested, pulled Xue Zimo and ran inside, and Zhao Wuming followed closely with Sun Buer.
The exit of the dark passage is a remote street, and Sun Buji looks around the street: "Isn't this the queen of the house, lord?"
"Behind the house, I didn't expect that there was a secret passage leading directly to the back of the house." Zhao Wuming thought in a low voice: "Let's go back."
Zhao Yong nodded, pulled Xue Zimo and walked back from the dark passage.
Seeing Zhao Wuming and the others coming back, the guards closed the secret door, and then moved the case back to its original position and put it away. Zhao Wuming took Zhao Yong, Xue Zimo, and Sun Buji back to the place where the chariot was stored.
Sun Buji looked at the destroyed chariot and showed a suspicious look: "Lord, is the time when this chariot was destroyed too coincidentally?"
"What a coincidence?". Zhao Wuming pondered, and then nodded slowly: "If you don't come sooner or later, these thieves came last night." It seems that they deliberately made it impossible for me to get to the outside of Xindu today."
"Uncle, the chariot is broken, how should you get to the outside of the capital city?" Xue Zimo showed a puzzled expression and asked Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Yong seemed to think of something, looked at Zhao Wuming, and proposed to him: "Uncle, since the chariot is broken, it is better to ride a war horse."
"Childe must not ride away on a war horse, lest he fall into the calculations of those who have a heart." Gao Zhao hurriedly walked over and saluted Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming looked at Gao Zhao, who was sweating profusely, in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"The king was furious when he saw that the prince had not arrived outside the city, how could the lower officials not come to watch the reason." Gao Zhao explained to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Wuming pointed to the destroyed chariot and looked at Gao Zhao: "The chariot is destroyed, what can you do except ride a war horse."
"Riding a horse alone violates Zhou etiquette, and if the prince rides a war horse to the outside of the city, he will definitely attract the disgust of hundreds of officials. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to ride a war horse on this trip." Gao Zhao explained to Zhao Wuming.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhang Gao and asked him: "At this time, the chariot is destroyed, if my uncle does not ride a war horse, then how will he go outside the city, how to get to Handan."
"This? ……“。 Gao Zhao also fell into a look of embarrassment, how to get a chariot in such a short time.
Zhao Wuming thought for a moment, looked around at Gao Zhao and the others, and finally looked at Sun Buer: "Don't these thieves want to make this son have no chariot to ride?" But how could this son get their wish. If I had all gone in the chariot, I would have seen the expression of the man behind him."
"Uncle, don't you have a chariot?" Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled, his eyes full of puzzlement.
Gao Zhao's eyes were full of suspicion: "Childe, is there still the rest of the chariots in this mansion."
"Sun Buji, you quickly go and arrange this." Zhao Wuming didn't answer, and ordered directly to Sun Buer.
Sun Buji bowed and saluted: "No."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Buji turned around and walked away, Zhao Wuming smiled at Zhao Yong and the others without saying a word, and walked directly outside the house.
Xue Zimo looked at Zhao Yong and Gao Zhao with a puzzled face, and the two shook their heads slightly at the same time, not knowing why. pondered for a moment, and then followed Zhao Wuming to the outside of the house.
More than 100 chariots outside the palace were neatly arranged, and each chariot had a royal guard, a gun-wielding man, and a bow-wielding person, a total of three personal guards. Although there were no foot soldiers following after the chariot, more than 100 chariots gathered together, but it could also make people feel shocked.
Gao Zhao looked at these chariots, hundreds of horses neighed in unison, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Childe, how can there be so many chariots."
"How can this son not have so many chariots?". Zhao Wuming did not explain in detail like Gao Zhao, but asked him rhetorically: "Gao Zhao, you said that this son took these chariots, but there is something wrong."
Gao Zhao nodded subconsciously: "Since it is a chariot, there is naturally nothing wrong with it."
"Yong'er, Zimo, the two of you each rode in a chariot and went outside the city with your uncle." Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo, and commanded the two.
"Yes". Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo flashed a hint of joy, and hurriedly ran to the front few chariots.
Seeing Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo walking towards the chariot, Zhao Wuming looked at Gao Zhao: "If you also go to Handan, you can choose a chariot to ride."
"Xie Gongzi". Gao Zhao saluted Zhao Wuming and followed him and Sun Buji to the front.
The emperor saw that Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer onto the chariot, and he didn't need Zhao Wuming's orders. The emperor raised his whip heavily, and the horses neighed in unison, and roared away with more than a hundred chariots.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and Zhao Chong frowned slightly, who dared to be so bold here.
A chariot appeared in front of him, and with a heavy swing of his whip, the chariot galloped towards him. Zhao Wuming's figure became clearer and clearer, and Zhao Chong immediately sank, just when he wanted to get angry, he heard the louder sound of horses' hooves, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Gao's face turned pale in an instant, and Shen Tuxiu and Zhao Wei glanced at Zhang Gao with disdain at the same time.
More than 100 chariots appeared, and the mighty and overwhelming the world. As soon as Zhao Wuming pulled the reins, more than 100 chariots stopped at the same time before they were twenty steps away from Zhao Chong: "See the king."
"See the ...... of the King". Seeing Zhao Wuming saluting, hundreds of guards also saluted at the same time on their respective chariots.
The movements were neat and uniform, and the hundred officials couldn't help but be shocked. Zhao Chonggang wanted to reprimand, but he thought of the army that was about to go to Handan, and the army outside Handan City that was fighting against Wei. When the words came to his lips, he changed his words again: "Why did you come so late, Wuming."
"Last night, a thief secretly infiltrated the house and destroyed the chariot in my house. So today I ordered a thorough investigation, and I found out that there is a secret passage in the house, which is really incredible." Zhao Wuming repeated to Zhao Chong, but his words were full of questions.
When the officials heard this, they were in an uproar, and there were many discussions.
"How can there be a secret passage in the Childe's Mansion?"
"If that thief sneaks into the house through a secret passage, instead of destroying the chariot but assassinating the son, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable."
"The dark passage cannot be built in a day, and the fourth prince has not been in Xindu for a long time, so who built the secret passage."
"Strange?. The fourth prince didn't say that the chariots were destroyed, but why are there so many chariots?"
Zhao Wuming listened to the words of discussion, and saluted Zhao Chong again: "The chariot in the house was given by those remote princes when I returned the soldiers of the Gong Clan. Therefore, these chariots are not in the same place as the existing chariots."
"Given by the feudal monarch of the remote clan, it seems that in addition to Xingpingjun and others, the fourth brother and the rest of the prince's children are very good." Zhao Wei deliberately accentuated his tone, revealing an envious expression.
Baiguan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped speaking.
Zhao Chong thought of Xingping Jun and the army of the Gong Clan, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Immediately came to his senses, and his face instantly returned to normal: "Our country and the Wei National Alliance are imminent, we can't stay here too much, and we will set off immediately after passing the decree."
"Obey". At the same time, hundreds of officials bowed down to receive the order, and Zhao Wuming led more than 100 chariots to return to the team.
The emperor waved his whip, and the whole team moved towards Handan.
