After hearing the news that the eldest prince was seriously injured in the attack, the first person to come to visit was none other than Gongcao Gongsun Ji.

Looking at the eldest prince lying on the couch and dying, Gongsun Ji was secretly happy in his heart, wishing that this guy who had returned from causing trouble all the way would die early, but his face showed a sad expression like a dead mother, and he was reluctant to express his loyalty to Liu He, who was "pretending to be dead" on the couch.

"How's that for good? What a wow! If the state pastor knew the news of the attack on the eldest prince, he was afraid that he would be anxious and return to Jixian County to visit regardless of it. ”

"Childe, you must not have any problems! There are still Qi Zhizhong and lowly people in Jixian County who are willing to serve dogs and horses, as long as you say something, I will take someone to take that person down for you! ”

Zhao Yun, who was guarding on the side, saw that Gongsun Ji's "meat play" was almost done, so he reminded him: "Gongsun is engaged, Gongzi needs to recuperate now, and he is not familiar with state affairs, and he is not able to call the shots, everything in Jixian City will be carried out according to the arrangement of Lord Taifu when he went south to Jizhou, please don't disturb Gongzi's recovery." ”

Gongsun Ji then retreated with red eyes, and then saw Qi Zhou, who came a little late.

Qi Zhou asked Gongsun Ji in a low voice: "How is the eldest prince's injury?" ”

Gongsun Ji replied with a worried face: "I am still in a coma, and it seems that the injury is not light." ”

"Please also ask Brother Zidu to go to the front hall for a while, I will go in and visit, and I will come to discuss with you how to deal with this matter." After Qi Zhou finished speaking, he walked towards the courtyard.

After Qi Zhou entered the house, he was also taken aback by the "tragic situation" he saw in front of him, and he asked Zhao Yun softly: "Zilong, how could the eldest prince be so seriously injured?" Who was this man lying beside him? ”

Zhao Yun replied: "At that time, the assassin suddenly rushed over, but the horse pulling the cart was frightened, and suddenly became frenzied, dragged the carriage and galloped, breaking the trees on the side of the road, and then threw the son out of the cart, injuring him in several places. Lying next to Childe is a personal guard who is close to him, who was seriously injured while trying to block arrows for Childe, and is now being treated together. ”

Qi Zhou frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Doesn't Zilong know the difference between respect and inferiority? How can you let a guard lie down with Childe! ”

Zhao Yun listened to Qi Zhou's words, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "This is what the prince specially explained when he returned home, Qi Zhizhong doesn't have to worry about this matter." ”

Qi Zhou heard Zhao Yun's dissatisfaction, so he no longer dwelled on the matter, and instead asked, "Where did the doctor who treated Gongzi come from?" ”

"It's a doctor in the south of the city who often visits the state pastor's house."

"No, this time the son is seriously injured, and I must find the best doctor in the state, so I will arrange it, and let the doctor live in the house when the time comes, and take care of the son."

Qi Zhou was an impatient, he didn't talk nonsense like Gongsun Ji, but wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Zhao Yun thought about it and felt that although Gongzi was not injured, this seriously injured guard really needed the best treatment, so he nodded and said, "Please also bother Qi Zhizhong." ”

After Qi Zhou finished saying this, he left in a hurry.

"Zilong, judging from the performance of Gongsun Ji and Qi Ercai, what do you think?" Liu He, who was lying on the couch, asked.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and replied, "Gongsun Ji is hypocritical and can hide his inner thoughts; Qi Zhou's personality is a little impatient, but he is a pragmatic person. ”

"Hehe, I was lying here with my eyes closed just now, I could only hear the voices and intonation of their words, but I couldn't see the expressions on their faces, if it weren't for being wary of Gongsun Ji, I would think he was more loyal and reliable than Qi Zhou." Liu He said with some emotion.

Zhao Yun listened to Gongzi's words, did not pick up, and was thoughtful.

After another moment, Zhao Beijia, who was a little haggard, appeared at the door of the west courtyard of the State Pastoral Mansion.

The guards in charge of the guard of the West Courtyard had been replaced by those brought back from Chang'an by the eldest prince since yesterday, and they unceremoniously stopped Zhao Cai.

"This lord, please stay, this is my son's private residence, it is not allowed, no one is allowed to trespass!"

"Bold! Do you know who I am? ”

Stopped at the door by four guards, Zhao said a little impatiently.

"Please don't embarrass us!" One of the guards was undaunted and stood in front of Zhao Gai, completely blocking the road to the courtyard.

Zhao Cai's face showed a look of shame and anger, and he said scoldingly: "I am not driving in Youzhou, after the state pastor leaves Jixian County, I will be fully responsible for the affairs of the city, if you don't want to be punished afterwards, quickly get out of the way!" ”

The guards blocking the road were indifferent to Zhao Gai's warning, and said coldly: "Your humble lord only knows that Lu Dao obeys the orders of the son, even if he is punished afterwards, it will not be the turn of the other driver!" ”

"You, you......!" Zhao Cai finally ate the closed door soup and walked away angrily.

When Zhao should be gone, several guards spoke softly in an authentic Xiliang accent.

"Hehe, Yan Laosi, you were majestic enough just now! Gongsun Zhi and Qi Zhizhong, you didn't stop you, but you only stopped this Zhao Beijia, are you doing death? ”

"Isn't it cool to hold chicken feathers as an arrow?"

"Don't drive in the dignified Youzhou, let's wait for the rectification in the future!"

"You muddy balls, shut up! Zhilu said, why am I now a captain, are you guys still small soldiers? Because Lao Tzu is stricter than you! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, cheer up and stand guard one by one! ”

was reprimanded by Yan Lao Sitong, and the other three brothers immediately stopped making trouble, straightened their chests and continued to be on duty.

Zhao Beijia ate the matter of closing the door at the gate of the West Courtyard, and it was quickly spread to the front hall of the meeting by someone with a heart, and this time, everyone had more reason to believe the rumors that the relationship between the eldest prince and Zhao Beijia was not harmonious.

In the hall, Zhao Gai sat in his seat with a dark face, pretending to be deaf to the whispers of some people, and on his left hand side sat the state officials such as Zhizhong Qi Zhou and Gongcao Gongsun Ji, and opposite him sat the military generals such as Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin with solemn faces.

The seat that belonged to Liu Yu in the middle was empty, and it looked a little dazzling.

Zhao Cai cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please stay quiet! ”

In the past, if Zhao said this, the hall would immediately be quiet, but I don't know why today, after he said it, the noise was only slightly lowered, but everyone didn't seem to plan to stop talking and whispering to each other.

Xian Yufu couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Shut up!" What's the matter with each one being full? Now that Lord Taifu is trapped in Macheng, the eldest prince was attacked as soon as he arrived in Jixian County, and the situation in Youzhou is in danger, are you still in the mood to talk nonsense here? ”

Xian Yufu was born as a martial artist in the end, and this explosion was a bit deafening, which could be described as a sonic boom tile house, which directly pushed the atmosphere in the hall to a serious and tense side.

Zhao Caichong Xian Yufu nodded, expressed his gratitude, and then continued: "When Lord Taifu went south, he entrusted the affairs of Jixian County to us, and now although the eldest prince is seriously injured, it has not affected the operation of the affairs of the state, so ......"

Before Zhao Gai's words were finished, Xian Yuyin on the other side was not happy, rudely interrupted Zhao Gai's words, and said a little angrily: "Zhao Don't drive this and I can't agree to it!" The injury of the eldest prince is very important, why has it not affected the operation of state affairs? I think the top priority is to find out the murderer and punish him severely! ”

Gongsun Ji immediately followed and said: "Xian Yu Duwei is reasonable, now that the prince is seriously injured, if we can't quickly arrest the murderer, it will inevitably cause panic in the city, and we won't be able to explain to Lord Taifu in the future!" In the next suggestion, immediately close the four gates, the whole city, and be sure to arrest the murderer who attacked the eldest prince! ”

Zhao Cai said a little angrily: "It's all a group of guys with rat eyes!" The only way to do this is to first relieve the predicament of Lord Taifu in Macheng, and the son is already injured, so he only needs to strengthen his vigilance and recuperate in the mansion with peace of mind. If you can't let Master Taifu return to Jixian County as soon as possible, even if the murderer is caught this time, it will be difficult for Jixian County to be peaceful in the future! ”

Qi Zhou hurriedly said loudly: "Let's say a few words each!" I feel that the matter on the Taifu side cannot be delayed, and the arrest of the murderer cannot be delayed, and these two things can be carried out at the same time. ”

Gongsun Ji and Xian Yuyin rolled their eyes at Qi Zhou's somewhat muddy approach at the same time, and Zhao should also show displeasure.

In order not to be cold, Xian Yufu opened his mouth and said: "Captain Bendu thinks that what Qi Zhi said is reasonable, everyone might as well sum it up, and if you are willing to follow Zhao Beijia to solve the matter of Macheng, you will go to help Zhao Beijia; If you are willing to follow Gongsun to solve the problem of the eldest son's attack, you will come to help Gongsun do it! ”

As soon as Xian Yufu finished speaking, Xian Yuyin immediately said: "Bendu Wei is in charge of the peace in Jixian County, and the thousands of foot soldiers under his command are willing to listen to Gongsun's dispatch!" ”

Xian Yufu's words are tantamount to a clear attitude, and he wants to support Gongsun Ji to the end.

Qi Zhou turned his head to the right to look at Zhao Cai, then turned his head to the left to look at Gongsun Ji, and then looked at Xian Yufu on the opposite side, and said: "Zhao Beijia's daily affairs are complicated, and he needs help from people, so let's deal with the affairs of Macheng with Zhao Beijia." ”

Zhao Cai expressed his satisfaction with Qi Zhou's choice to stand on his side at the critical moment, he stared at Xian Yufu on the opposite side and said: "Captain Bi Chengdu, now Macheng needs a large amount of grain and grass and military baggage, and this official will raise it in the shortest possible time, and then you will lead the cavalry to be responsible for escorting, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Xian Yuyin nodded and agreed to Zhao Cai's proposal.

"What else do you have to say?" Zhao should turn his head and look around, but everyone was silent.

There was an eerie silence in the chamber.

Everyone was silent, but they knew in their hearts that after today's events, Jixian County has now been divided into two factions, among which the faction dominated by Gongsun Ji seems to be loyal to the eldest prince, and the faction dominated by Zhao Gai seems to be loyal to Lord Taifu. In the future, where everyone will go is to choose a direction, and we can no longer pretend that it is not our business and push it off.

In fact, when the discussion was held yesterday, everyone didn't feel any embarrassment, as long as the eldest prince stood up, the first thing he thought about was naturally to lift the siege of Macheng and welcome Lord Taifu back to Jixian County, which did not conflict with Zhao Beijia's idea at all, and everyone didn't have to stand in line.

Now that the eldest prince is seriously injured and in a coma, whether he can wake up or not is still between the two, some of the decisions made by Zhao Beijia, whether the people below want to implement and implement them, but they have to think about it.
