Chapter 129: The Blue Sparrow is in Trouble

Footsteps sounded, and Gao Zhao hurriedly walked towards the fourth prince's mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing Fan Shun cleaning in the courtyard, a worried look flashed between his eyebrows: "Some time ago, the State of Qi increased its troops at the junction of Qi and Wei, and there was news and rumors that the State of Wei intends to use Handan to negotiate peace with our country. Today, our country has received a letter of state, and the envoys of Wei are about to enter the capital."

"Isn't that a good thing?". Fan Shun didn't look up, just took a broom and swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

Gao Zhao saw that Fan Shun looked completely uninterested, and couldn't help complaining: "If it's really a good thing, I will come to you in such a hurry."

"The State of Qi is about to send troops, and the State of Wei wants to return Handan, I can't figure out what's wrong with this." Fan Shun didn't bother to turn back, still concentrating on cleaning up the yellow fallen leaves.

Gao Zhao decided not to say anything to Fan Shun anymore, and directly explained his intention to Fan Shun: "Wei and the letter of state have been sent to the king first, and there is news from the palace just now. The king suddenly fainted after seeing the national letter, and the crown prince and the second prince had already rushed to the palace."

"The king fainted?". Fan Shun was stunned for a moment, and one of them fell to the ground without holding it steadily. Over the past year, King Zhao's health has deteriorated. The country of Zhao has already had an undercurrent, and if the king dies suddenly, the consequences will be unimaginable. The son has a word, let himself and others protect the prince, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the task.

Gao Zhao saw that Fan Shun was stunned, and proposed to him: "Do you know the whereabouts of the son, this matter can only be decided by leaving it to the son."

"Childe's whereabouts". Fan Shun shook his head slightly at Gao Zhao.

Seeing Fan Shun shaking his head, Gao Zhao was anxious: "The king is seriously ill and the son is missing, let me wait for how to deal with the upcoming stormy waves." Could it be that this year's hard work and my humble hopes are about to turn into water."

"When the prince left, he made it clear that the affairs of the court and the central government would be handled by your edict, how could you complain about the prince when the matter came." Fan Shun looked at Gao Zhao with some displeasure.

Gao Zhao sighed and explained to Fan Shun: "It's not that you don't know that the Handan defenders only supported us in the face of the son." But Gongzi has not come forward once after all, under this crisis. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the Hanmen and Handan defenders to become a force."

"Gao Zhao, are you gathering the cold door for yourself, or for your son." Fan Shun frowned, with some disdain in his eyes. I really don't understand why Childe would agree to this villain's refuge.

Gao Zhao's lips moved, but he felt that he couldn't answer Fan Shun's words, so he simply kept silent.

Fan Shun felt the silence and sneered at Gao Zhao: "Don't forget, you are waiting for the cold family because of the name of the son, so you can gather." The reason why you waited for Hanmen to gain a firm foothold was because Gongzi gathered the rout army and shot it with one sword. If you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I, Fan Shun, will not be the first to spare you. At the same time, those soldiers who received the grace of Gongzi's life at the beginning will not let you wait for a good time."

"Gao Zhao does not dare to forget the virtue of the son, and he will be the head of the son in this life." Gao Zhao listened to Fan Shun's warning words and bowed heavily to Fan Shun.

Fan Shun ignored it, picked up the broom on the ground, and continued to sweep the fallen leaves: "Gao Zhao remember your own promise."

"I will not dare to forget". Gao Zhao hurriedly assured Fan Shun.

Falling leaves fell from the air, and Fan Shun swept one by one: "If you want me to bring anything to those Handan defenders, just say it."

"The king is seriously ill, and he is not as good as the day. Xia Guan hopes that the defenders of Handan can make up their minds to join the prince with my Hanmen as soon as possible, and this matter will not be delayed sooner rather than later." Gao Zhao knew that he couldn't hide it from Fan Shun, and told him the ultimate purpose of this trip.

Fan Shun didn't want to deal with Gao Zhao, and he was used to seeing his villain face for more than a year. Although he is talented, he is incompatible with his own character: "The prince confessed and supported the prince, this matter is in line with the son's intentions." I will bring your words to the soldiers of the Handan garrison."

"In this way, there is Brother Lao Fan, who mediates among the soldiers of the Handan garrison." Gao Zhao saw that his goal was achieved, and he bowed again and then turned around.

Zhao Wuming and Sun Buji appeared in front of him, Gao Zhao was stunned and immediately reacted, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Wuming: "Gao Zhao saw Gongzi, I didn't know that Gongzi returned today, and I didn't expect forgiveness if I failed to greet him."

"Gao Zhao? ……“。 Zhao Wuming suddenly showed a playful smile.

Hearing Zhao Wuming's voice, Gao Zhao thought of the conversation between Fang Cai and Fan Shun. His heart trembled, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "I don't choose what to say, and I hope that my son will forgive my sins."

"Forgiveness? What a sin". Zhao Wuming didn't help him when he saw Gao Zhao kneeling, but asked with a smile.

Gao Zhao bowed deeply to Zhao Wuming: "The villain is from a poor family, so he naturally prefers a poor family, but there is no intention of betrayal other than that."

"Get up". Zhao Wuming didn't want to pursue too much, sometimes between using and being used, who can say clearly.

Fan Shun heard Zhao Wuming's voice and quickly turned around. Seeing Zhao Wuming, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Son, you are finally back."

"You're back, right, the blue sparrows?" Zhao Wuming looked around, and when he saw that there was no Qingque, he asked Fan Shun.

Fan Shun's smile froze instantly, and his eyes looked at Gao Zhao, as if he was contemplating.

A trace of ominousness rose in Zhao Wuming's heart, and his eyes looked directly at Fan Shun and Gao Zhao: "What the hell is going on."

"I went to Anyang with Qingque, and after many inquiries about it, I finally learned the news of his brother." Fan Shun said that he glanced at Zhao Wuming here, and when he saw him listening carefully, he continued to say: "At the same time, we also learned. Just when the king's illness worsened, Anyang began to secretly recruit troops, as if he was plotting something. In order to go to the army to find his younger brother and find out the movements of the second son Zhao Wei in Anyang, Qingque concealed his identity and went to Anyang to join the army."

"Nonsense, if Zhao Yan learns the identity of Qingque, then how can he be killed. Why don't you stop him?" Zhao Wuming hurriedly scolded Fan Shun and Gao Zhao.

Gao Zhao smiled bitterly and explained to Zhao Wuming: "The son doesn't know, Qingque misses his brother with a resolute attitude, how can Fan Shun and I stop it."

"This green finch ......". Zhao Wuming thought of the experience of Handan being raided by the Wei State, and his heart couldn't help but soften, and his tone was a little less angry: "You can still contact Shangqingque now."

"In the first two months, our contact with Qingque was still smooth, but for some reason, it seems that the contact with him in the last month is not as convenient as before, and we estimate that he may have encountered some trouble." Fan Shun thought of Qingque's condition and showed a worried look.

Zhao Wuming fell into deep thought, and looked at Gao Zhao: "We are in Anyang, do we have any manpower?"

"Yes". Gao Zhao heard the inquiry and hurriedly replied.

Zhao Wuming turned to look at Sun Buer: "Later, you will transfer five hundred troops, secretly go to Xindu, and contact Gao Zhao and the people they left behind." It is compulsory to bring back the blue sparrow, and there must be no mistake".

"The subordinates are the commanders of the Lord's personal guards, and they can't stay away from the Lord. The subordinates suggested that this matter could be handed over to a general and bring five hundred personal guards." Sun Buer proposed to Zhao Wuming that as the commander of the pro-guard army, he had 30,000 pro-guard troops in his hands. Some things don't need to be done by yourself, after all, at this time, both Seoul and the scale of the guards are not what they used to be.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, last year, there were only 3,000 soldiers at most, but at this time there were 30,000. There are some things that may be better left to your subordinates: "Then I will leave this matter to you, and let them go tonight".

"No". Sun Buji bowed down to receive the order.

Fan Shun listened to the conversation between the two and hurriedly stopped: "After all, the lord and Anyang are the fiefdom of the second son, Zhao Yan. With 500 troops, the target is too big. Why don't you let me take a hundred soldiers and go and bring the blue finch back."

"You want to go?". Zhao Wuming looked at Fan Shun in surprise.

Fan Shun smiled: "Qingque is in trouble, how can Fan Langzhong stand by and watch."

"It's okay, after all, the rest of the people may not be able to move the green sparrow, and you can relax when you go to me." Zhao Wuming thought for a while and nodded, and then made arrangements: "If there are only a hundred soldiers, this son is still a little worried, it is better to send a general to lead a thousand guards to be secretly stationed outside Anyang." If you are in trouble, call them for help."

"A thousand guards?". Gao Zhao looked at Fan Shun with a puzzled expression, the son didn't have the right to fight, and where did he get the soldiers and horses. Could it be that they wanted to ask the Handan defenders for help, but how could the soldiers of the Handan defenders do such an unwise thing under the nose of the king.

Fan Shun thought of the three thousand soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared outside Handan City, and he didn't feel puzzled in his heart: "If the one thousand soldiers and horses are outside the city, they can go to Anyang with the Gongzi's token." If those 1,000 soldiers and horses are in Xindu, it is better not to adjust them in order to avoid further twists and turns."

"Naturally, it's outside the city, and the prince of Ming RB asked Sun Buji to hand over those soldiers and horses to you." Zhao Wuming saw Fan Shun's appearance and showed a smug smile.

Gao Zhao felt confused for a while, and looked at Zhao Wuming in confusion: "Those soldiers and horses of Gongzi, aren't they the defenders of Handan?"

"How could it be the defenders of Handan?". Fan Shun glared at Gao Zhao: "Do you think that Gongzi, only the defenders of Handan can't succeed?"

Gao Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Wuming in disbelief: "Gongzi has no fief, so naturally there are no people and no army. Could it be? …… Childe didn't return the 3,000 soldiers and horses of those remote clans? “。

"It's better not to know some things than to know, Gao Zhao, don't you say?" Zhao Wuming did not answer directly, but admonished Gao Zhao.

A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Gao Zhao's forehead: "It's the lower official who has overstepped it, and he dares to forgive his sins."

"The sun is about to set, and my son needs to go to the prince's mansion, otherwise someone will estimate that it will be uncomfortable." Zhao Wuming ignored Gao Zhao and looked up at the sky. Seeing that the sun was slanting to the west and thinking of Zhao Yong, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Gao Zhao hurriedly saluted Zhao Wuming: "Since the son has something, then the official will retire."

Zhao Wuming nodded, and Gao Zhao immediately walked directly outside the mansion.

Fan Shun saw Gao Zhao go away, and asked Zhao Wuming: "Childe needs me to accompany him."

"You're leaving for Anyang tomorrow, so prepare well today. If you go to the Prince's Mansion, you can have a grandson." Thinking of Qingque, Zhao Wuming rejected Fan Shun's kindness.

Fan Shun saluted Zhao Wuming: "Since this is the case, then I will go to the room to clean up first."

Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, and Fan Shun turned around and walked towards a room.
