Chapter 196: The Sword of the Guards

At the junction of Lou Fu and Seoul, a caravan was galloping north. The sound of horses' hooves was heard behind the www.biquge.info of the pen, and a cavalry of more than 1,000 people urged the horses to gallop and were chasing from the rear.

There is a fortress in front of it, and the flag of Seoul is planted on the wall. A soldier pointed ahead and shouted to the generals beside him: "The general has a Lou Fu cavalry, which is chasing and killing my Seoul caravan."

"Immediately assemble the cavalry of the servant army and strangle all these annoying people." The Seoul general commanded to a soldier next to him.

The soldier bowed to the general: "No".

Drums beat through the sky, and the gates of the city were wide open. Thousands of cavalry mixed by the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes turned into a torrent and rushed out.

A rain of arrows shot towards the convoy, and then more than a thousand Lou Fu cavalry looked at the Seoul servant army rushing in front of them, and their hearts were shocked. I don't know who was violently in the army, and a voice spread to the ears of thousands of Lou Fu soldiers: "Withdraw."

More than 1,000 Lou Fu cavalry grabbed the reins, skillfully turned the direction, and the front army turned into a rear army and galloped back.

On a carriage at the front of the caravan, the young man looked at the roaring servant army, and a sense of pride rose in his heart: "The owner, these Lou annoying people bully the weak and fear the hard. The city in front of them sent troops, and they fled in disgrace, and they really had no backbone."

"Don't sell here, if you have been so arrogant along the way, is it necessary for us to hide in Tibet for so long?" A voice came from inside the carriage, asking the young man who was driving the carriage.

When the young man heard the owner's words, his mood was a little better: "Brother Nie Qiu, isn't the sword of the pro-guard army in your hand really not given by our city lord?"

"How many times have I told you, this is given by the fourth prince of Zhao Guo, not your lord of Hancheng. Handan and Seoul are far away, how can they be the same person." Nie Qiu's voice came from inside the carriage, and he didn't know how many times he had explained this question.

The young man drove the carriage and thought about this question seriously: "What Brother Nie Qiu said seems to make sense, the fourth prince of Zhao Guo is indeed not as eloquent as our city lord, but how can he have the sword of the pro-guard army."

The sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and a general pulled the reins, and thousands of servant troops immediately stopped: "The caravan ahead stops".

As soon as the young man pulled the reins, the entire convoy stopped, and then jumped out of the carriage.

The people in the carriage also heard the voice, and the middle-aged man, Nie Qiu, and the woman also got out of the carriage.

The people in the carriage and the coachman also walked down one after another, standing in a row and respectfully waiting for the Seoul generals.

The general led a few cavalrymen to gently pat the horse's back, and slowly walked towards them: "Why are you being chased and killed by Lou Fu's army?"

The team mates looked at Nie Qiu and the woman in unison. The middle-aged man hurriedly explained to the general, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Nie Qiu.

"In order to save his wife, he angered Lou and the powerful, so he was chased and killed all the way." Nie Qiu replied respectfully to the general.

The general frowned slightly, and looked Nie Qiu up and down: "How can we and the Han people have people who have been robbed by Lou Fu, and if there is no looting, how can we rescue them."

"General Mingjian, I am not a Han but a person from Zhao Guodaijun." Nie Qiu explained to the general.

The general's face showed anger, and he glared at the middle-aged man viciously: "Since you are the owner of this caravan, you should focus on the safety of the caravan in everything." Since he is not from my Seoul, why did you take such a big risk to come to the rescue? If you die of annoyance because of this, you can be worthy of your wife and children at home."

"The general's statement is biased, although this person is not from my Seoul, but we are indeed of the same race as them. Besides, this person has something to do with me in Seoul, and when I see this person in distress, how can I not help him." The middle-aged man explained to the general.

The general was stunned for a moment, and his anger was slightly suppressed: "Does it have anything to do with my Seoul?"

"The general knows this thing at a glance." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his eyes looked at the woman standing next to Nie Qiu.

The woman understood what the owner meant, and handed the sword in her arms to the general.

The general took the saber suspiciously, and then looked at it, and was suddenly startled. Hurriedly pulled out the saber and watched carefully: "Why do you have the saber of the city lord's personal guards?"

"This thing is Zhao Wuming, the fourth son of Zhao Guo, and it was given by Handan." Nie Qiu replied respectfully to the general.

Zhao Guo? Handan? The fourth son? Zhao Wuming, as soon as the general's hand was loosened, the sword almost fell to the ground: "The general doesn't know Zhao Guo, he doesn't know Handan, and he doesn't know what the fourth prince is." But Ben will know that what you have just said is the name of the lord of the city."

"Brother Nie Qiu, I just said, it must be the city lord who gave you the sword of the guard." The young man didn't wait for the rest of the people to speak, and said his thoughts on the way to Nie Qiu.

The middle-aged man reprimanded the young man: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person."

"I said, this must be the case." When the young man heard the reprimand, he didn't dare to stiffen his head, but could only mumble quietly.

Nie Qiu looked at the general, and his tone was very affirmative: "It must be that the two have the same name, after all, Handan and Seoul are far apart, how can they be the same person."

"Whether it was given by the lord of the city himself or not, but at this time, it is important, and I can't be cautious." The general gradually fell into deep thought when he said this.

A cavalryman behind the general seemed to think of something, and reminded the general: "The general has forgotten the order that came from Seoul a few months ago."

"A few months ago?". When the general heard the cavalry's prompt, he immediately began to think about it and understood: "A few months ago, there was indeed a military order for me to pay close attention to the swords of the guards. In that case, you will go to the city with Ben and wait for the disposition of the city lord, and you will not leave during this period."

"No". The middle-aged man and the team guys hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

The general turned his horse's head and led them slowly in the direction of the city.

When the army entered the city, a swift eagle was afraid to fly into the air with wings.

……

Outside the east gate of Handan, in a small forest behind the palace of the fourth prince of Chengwang.

Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer for a walk in the forest, looked at the road in a place, and showed a nostalgic gaze: "It was here that I saw the good timber and edge wood transported by the Wei State to Handan City, and then I really felt the crisis. Now that time has passed, from the fourth prince to the fourth prince of the king, I don't know if it is lonely or they have changed."

"Why does the lord have so many feelings". Sun Buji didn't answer, but asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming's footsteps paused slightly, and then he walked slowly forward: "Fang just talked to Lin Wuchang, and Gu suddenly felt how similar he and Gu were. Lone was hated because of the conflict between King Zhao Cheng and the Gong clan. And he, Lin Wu, was indeed suppressed because King Lin Hu favored the prime minister, but the biggest difference between Lone and him was that he fled to Zhao State, while Lone owned Seoul."

Sun Buji listened to this sentence, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but silently accompanied Zhao Wuming for a walk in the woods.

Zhao Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes gradually showed a puzzled light: "It's strange to say, it seems that I haven't seen Yong'er and them during this time."

"When his subordinates heard that the prince went back that day, he was punished by King Zhao to be confined for a month, and only fifteen days have passed." Sun Buji explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that Zimo should also be confined with Yong'er, no wonder Lone's ears have been clean for half a month."

"The subordinates have been unable to figure out an incident, and they ask the lord to solve their doubts." Sun Buer heard Zhao Wuming mention Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, stopped and looked at Sun Buer in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"Why did the lord give the two golden eagles to the prince and Xue Zimo half a month ago?" Sun Buji asked the question in his heart to Zhao Wuming, the golden eagle is a precious thing, even in the whole of Seoul. What's more, it is still a well-trained golden eagle that is sent out.

When Zhao Wuming heard the question, he smiled at Sun Buji instead: "I gave it to them, but I actually wanted the eldest brother to see it."

"But as far as my subordinates know, there is no news about the golden eagle in Handan City." Sun Buer explained to Zhao Wuming, and his puzzled expression became a little thicker.

Zhao Wuming's eyes looked in the direction of Handan: "Since Yong'er and Zimo are confined, if Gu Ruo's guess is right, it is they who hid the golden eagle."

"Hidden?". Sun Buji looked at Zhao Wuming puzzled.

Zhao Wuming explained to Sun Buer: "With Yong'er's active personality, how can it be closed. There's only one reason they've been so honest during this time."

"What the lord means, is it that the golden eagle is in the prince's mansion, so it will ......." When Sun Buer said this, he completely understood, no wonder he always felt a little weird during this time.

Zhao Wuming did not delve into this topic, but asked Sun Buer: "What news do the envoys of various countries have now?"

"Except for Yun Miao, the envoy of Yan State, who returned to China ten days ago, the envoys of other countries rested in the embassy, neither to congratulate King Zhao nor to go out of the embassy to play. The subordinates always feel as if they are waiting for something." Sun Buji thought of the news about those envoys in Handan City, and replied to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while, as if he had thought of the reason: "If Gu didn't guess wrong, they must be waiting for the result of the battle of Qi and Wei."

"If it is to wait for the result of the battle of Qi and Wei, then the envoys of Lin Hu, Lou Fu and Zhongshan are also the same as the envoys of the other five countries, is it a little abnormal." Sun Buji continued to ask Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded slowly, and just as he wanted to speak, Xiao Zhan suddenly appeared.

Looking at the sudden appearance of Xiao Zhan, Zhao Wuming couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are you here?".

"Now the military advisor Zhang Liang, Prime Minister Xiao He, the general Han Xin and others have all rushed to the City Lord's Mansion, so I came." Xiao Zhan explained to Zhao Wuming.

Rushing to the City Lord's Mansion? Zhao Wuming thought for a while and asked Xiao Zhan: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Lin Hu's news has been verified, and there is an urgent military information just now from the junction of our Seoul and Lou Fu, saying that a person has appeared at the border with a pro-guard sword." Xiao Zhan explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming looked at Sun Buer and instructed him: "It seems that the opportunity to go south has arrived, go back to Seoul to discuss first, and you go back to the house to wait."

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

A light door opened, and Zhao Wuming walked in with Xiao Zhan.
