In the distance, a carriage galloped out in the night. In the car sat a driver and a panting sword-wielding woman. Soon after, the carriage arrived outside the Dazaifu Gate in Senjo. The rider jumped down and helped Qiu Youziwan to walk briskly towards the house. The woman was disheveled, her hair was disheveled, and her bruised cheeks were bloodshot. There were tears in his anxious eyes. One of the embroidered shoes on her feet had been lost, and she walked, one high and one low. Even so, it was still the wind under his feet, and he didn't dare to stop in the slightest.

After seeing Zhi Yao, Qiu Youziwan did not give a salute, but stood in place in embarrassment. The woman used concise words to quickly tell Zhi Yao the information she had gathered. However, the words that seemed to explain the future, Qiu Youziwan did not come out. She firmly believes that Yu Rang will not die, and she does not want to affect the mind of the head of the family. After the report, Zhiyao immediately made arrangements.

"Someone! Holding my tiger talisman, I ordered Da Sima to transfer 30,000 troops to the national city as soon as possible. The herald ordered the forbidden army to impose martial law in the whole city, and if the garrison in the city acted rashly, it would be regarded as an accomplice. ”

The entire Dazaifu immediately became nervous. The internal herald was erected, the guards ran, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard everywhere. Zhiyao's fief is close to the Jin State Office. Although he didn't believe that the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan had the courage to make a move in the royal city, in order to prevent it from happening, he still decided to mobilize the soldiers and horses of his clan to protect the safety of the national city.

Subsequently, Zhi Yao sent people to transfer 500 armor soldiers from the forbidden army, and ordered people to go to the mansions of the rest of the five kings to inquire about the news. If Yu Rang's information is true. At that time, the Fan clan, the Zhongxing clan and the Zhao clan had all rushed back to their respective fiefdoms and began to prepare for war. The civil strife in the Jin Kingdom was on the verge of breaking out, and the development of events was out of his control. Now we can only choose how to stand in line in order to stabilize the situation.

Fortunately, Yu Rang passed the news out in time. He still had time to contact the Wei and Han families, and served the Marquis of Jin to enter the war in the name of the office. Whether it is the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan, or the Zhao clan, the final decisive vote is in Zhiyao's hand Zheng

He was silent for a moment, then walked up to Qiu Youziwan's side. Comforted:

"Wan'er! You have a good rest in the house. Yu Rang will be fine. ”

"My lord! The slave and maid are fine, let the life and death of Mr. be uncertain, please let the slave and maid lead the way with the army. ”

Both of them are worried about Yu Rang's life and death at the moment. Especially Zhiyao. His heart was a little more sour. Yu Rang has only known him for two months, and he was able to trust him with his life and fulfill his old vow. Today, regardless of life and death, this important information is transmitted. If you let Yu spare your life, you can release the news after returning home, and you will not reveal your identity. However, he didn't do that. It seems that he saw the seriousness of the matter and the impact on Zhiyao.

In case the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan suddenly attack the Zhao clan. Once the war of this annexation ended quickly. At that time, Zhiyao's situation immediately became passive. The decisive vote in his hand was even more worthless.

Thinking of this, Zhi Yao nodded.

"Okay. Come with me. ”

In just a quarter of an hour, five hundred armor soldiers were gathered outside Dazaifu. Four guards held torches and surrounded Zhiyao and Qiu Youziwan, and they hurried out of the house. The woman's strange appearance when she walked attracted Zhiyao's attention. Zhiyao is also a thoughtful person. He then exclaimed:

"Left and right! Bring the car of the true image. ”

The chariot was driven by a luxurious carriage covered by a curtain and driven by a horse. Ordinary carriages, on the other hand, were two-wheeled, uncovered carriages, similar to those of a chariot. After the emperor brought the carriage, the officer leading the army had already completed the formation. An officer walked quickly in front of Zhi Yao, then knelt down on one knee, his armor clanging.

"General! The first brigade of the forbidden army has been assembled. Please give the order of the general. ”

The reason why the Jin State became a situation of division and rule of the Six Qings. It's not because Liuqing's clergy has huge power, but because each family is in charge of an army. In the Sixth Army, the rank of general is divided into upper, middle and lower armies, and the rank of army adjutant is also divided into three middle and lower armies. Zhi Yao is a general.

Zhi Yao took two steps forward and slapped the rugged officer's shoulder with a determined gaze. The officer puffed out his chest and showed a beard. Although he is not very old, judging from his dress, he is already a general who leads an army.

"Wrong! Give me Yu to bring back alive. Please! ”

"The last general commands!"

His name is Zhicuo, and he is the young general of the Zhi family. After the crown salute, he has been following the old general of the intellectual disease to fight in the north and south. It can be regarded as the future successor of Da Sima Zhiji. Obviously, at this moment, Zhi Yao was asking him as the sect master, and Zhi Cuo was particularly moved, he hugged his fists, and then boarded the chariot. led a group of horses and horses towards the outskirts of the city.

The procession left in front of the government gate. Zhi Yao stood outside the gate of the mansion and watched the soldiers leave, and the scene when he was allied with Yu Rang came to mind. At this moment, there was a sudden neighing sound of horses, which woke Zhiyao from the memories of the past. He followed the sound and saw a gorgeous car speeding towards a sharp stop outside the gate of Dazaifu. Then, a young man in brocade clothes lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car and ran towards Zhiyao. The person who came was none other than Zhao Wuxian, one of the six Qings.

The two looked at each other, and they were both slightly stunned. Zhao Wuxian didn't expect Zhi Yao to wait for him outside the mansion. And Zhiyao didn't expect Zhao Wuxian to dare to stay in the national city.

Before he came to Zhiyao, Zhao Wuxian cried wolf:

"Yao Xiang save me!"

Zhao Wuxian is only seventeen years old, five official positives, with a hint of honest stupidity between his eyebrows. He has just taken over the position of his father Zhao Ying. He served as a sergeant and received the rank of lieutenant in the Chinese army. At this time, his face was frightened and he was panting. His appearance surprised Zhiyao a little.

"Why is the virtuous nephew still here?"

"Uncle Yao! You're going to save me. Fan Ji shot that old man before he ordered someone to storm my Taishi Mansion. Fortunately, my nephew ran fast, otherwise he would have been captured. ”

Zhiyao was shocked. Asked urgently:

"Where is Lingzun Jianzi? It can't be in Fuchu, right? ”

"My father is old and has always stayed in Jinyang. My nephew came here for the spring festival. ”

Hearing this, Zhi Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Taishi Mansion is in charge of divine affairs, and the New Year is approaching, and it is estimated that Zhao Ying sent his son to preside over the sacrifice of the national city. Zhi Yao did not hesitate, and hurriedly led Zhao Wuxian into the mansion After Zheng came to the lobby, the two sat separately. Zhiyao ordered someone to get a warrant. Then, he left his subordinates and walked in front of Zhao Wuxian. He handed the warrant over.

"Shirtless! You took the warrant of the prime minister, rushed back to Jinyang overnight, and told Ling Zunzhong Xingyin and Fan Ji to besiege Jinyang tomorrow, so that he could prepare early. ”

Zhao Wuxian walked to Zhi Yao's side, pounced, and knelt down.

"Uncle Yao! You have to think of a way to save my Zhao family! ”

He tugged at Zhiyao's sleeve while pleading with tears in his eyes. Zhi Yao shook his head helplessly. felt that the Zhao family was handed over to such a waste, which really insulted Zhao Jianzi's name. Although he and Zhao Wuxian's father had different positions, they still admired Zhao Ying's talent during his reign. can be regarded as Zhiyao's political enlightenment teacher. Of course, this teacher didn't teach him with concern, but made Zhiyao grow up in blood and tears through scheming. He was cheated by Zhao Yang a lot, so he naturally learned the other party's routines.

"If Uncle Yao is willing to come to the rescue, my Zhao family will definitely take the Zhi clan as the head of the horse in the future."

There are too many ambitious people in the Jin Kingdom. Maybe the pig teammates are stupid, but at least they are obedient and safe. Zhi Yao helped Zhao Wuxian up and said solemnly:

"As long as the Zhao family can hold on to Jinyang for two months, the prime minister will lead troops to help. If you can't hold it for two months, it will be the death of the Zhao family. The virtuous nephew should not be in storage, and tell the news to Jianzi quickly. I believe that Ling Zun will definitely be able to hold Jinyang. There are still important things to do, and you need to enter the palace to meet the king, and the virtuous nephew is at your own convenience. ”

Cease. Zhi Yao walked towards the inner hall. Behind him, there was the sound of Zhao Wuxian crying.

"Uncle Yao! I, Zhao, miss Uncle Yao's great kindness. ”

At the moment when Zhi Yao's figure disappeared into the side hall, Zhao Wuxian, who was lying on the ground, looked back, and his crying face showed a strange smile. It shows the wolf's appearance.

He picked up Zhiyao's warrant and walked out of Dazaifu quickly. The carriage took advantage of the night to leave the north gate of Jiangcheng. Zhao Wuxian's car did not drive in the direction of Jinyang, but slowly slowed down in the direction of Handan.

Inside the car sat his housekeeper, and outside the car were two guards who doubled as drivers. The housekeeper lifted the curtain in the carriage and looked out, and the sporadic firelight on the post road faintly outlined the route ahead. Jia Zai lowered the curtain and looked at Zhao Wuxian suspiciously. Just now, the four of them escaped from the Taishi Mansion, and when they think about it at this time, they still have some palpitations. However, his own son-in-law was as casual as a trip, with his legs folded on the soft collapse, and half of his body leaning on the carriage. From time to time, pick up the wine on the low table and take a sip of wine. The laid-back appearance is really pleasant.

The housekeeper was really puzzled, his eyes rolled twice, and he reminded heartily:

"Childe! Our Zhao family and Fan's are incompatible, and Handan is Fan's fiefdom. Isn't there something wrong with our swaggering past? If the son has a mistake, how can people explain it to the sect master? Let's go back to Jinyang. Please think twice. ”

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hand to Zhao Wuxian. The appearance is sincere and respectful.

At present, the Fan family and the Zhongxing clan are arresting Zhao Wuxian everywhere, obviously trying to use Gongzi to blackmail the head of Jinyang's family. He didn't hide, he even ran to someone's chassis. If something goes wrong at this critical juncture. It is conceivable that the Zhao family will have no future. The housekeeper couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"Hehe... Feel relieved! Fan Lao'er was busy fighting and didn't have time to pay attention to me. Besides, my father had already made arrangements. If I go back to Jinyang, I will definitely be scolded by his old man. It's better to go to Handan, hide under Uncle Fan's eyelids and wait for the opportunity. ”

Among the six qing, Zhao Ying was the first to push the juniors to the forefront. He himself hid behind the scenes and personally took care of the Zhao family's fiefdom. At present, the heads of all families, except for Zhi Yao, are all old men who are over half a hundred years old, and everyone is old and fine, slippery like a loach. Zhao Wuxian is commensurate with his uncle, and he seems to be inferior in rank. After all, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of sixteen in this era. It is not uncommon for the fourth generation to be in the same house at the age of fifty.

Ding Buwang, a member of the Zhao family, experienced the tragedy of the "Zhao orphan", and the Zhao family took great pains to inherit Rao's cultivation. In the family, the eldest and youngest are not used to pass on the position of the son, but to select the virtuous. Perhaps it is precisely because of this method that the rulers of the Zhao clan have always made amazing moves.

As Zhao Wuxian's housekeeper, Jia Zai is now thirty-six years old. He is a sincere and loyal man, and since Zhao Wuxian was born, he has taken care of the young master as a retainer. Subsequently, the position of the head of the house was achieved. He knew that the young master's honest exterior actually hid his ambitions, and he was the kind of wise man who did not show the mountains and did not leak. Otherwise, in other clans, with Zhao Wuxian's identity as a concubine, and his mother is still a daughter of a different race, he will not be able to stand out from the crowd of sons at all.

I remember that when my son was ten years old, the head of the family took a group of younger generations of the Zhao family to Changshan for a safari. I was very interested and started a treasure hunt. In the end, only Childe won. The people who accompanied him all thought that Zhao Wuxian was grandstanding, knew how to please the head of the family, and had no real talent. However, he understood that the reason why the head of the family chose Gongzi as the son was not because of Gongzi's words.

"With the danger of Changshan to attack the generation, the generation can be returned to Zhao Ye."

Instead, Childe saw Zhiyao's idea of wanting to take the north. On weekdays, the son has no chance to meet the head of the family, and it is this amazing talent that will make the head of the house look at the son with admiration. If Zhao Wuxian didn't have the courage and ambition to compete with Zhi Yao, Zhao Ying might not have passed on to him.

If the Zhi clan obtains the land of Zhongshan, they will attack the land of Zhao in the north and south. The move of the Felling Dynasty will extend the territory of the Zhao clan to the north, standing side by side with the Zhi clan, and break this deadlock. It is precisely because of this that the head of the family will overcome public opinion and carefully train his son to become the successor of the Zhao family.

Hearing Zhao Wuxian's answer, the housekeeper knew that he had already planned. So, the old man smiled with great relief, and his heart was no longer frightened.

"The Fan family and my Zhao family are mortal enemies, so what... Can we wait? ”

"Hehe... The affairs of the temple are no different from the battle array. What we pay attention to is to judge the situation and size up the situation. Yao Xiang gave me two months because he wanted my Zhao clan and the Zhongxing clan to fight each other and consume each other's strength. In the end, he reaped the benefits of the fisherman, which was really calculating. ”

The housekeeper was deeply trusted by Zhao Wuxian, and when he could hear Gongzi's analysis of the current situation, he couldn't help but prick up his ears with a solemn expression. Zhao Wuxian drank a handful of wine and continued with a smile:

"However, since he is willing to help, then the Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan will be unlucky. This time, my Zhao family will definitely be in danger, and see how those two old men ended miserably? ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper Fang Zhigongzi actually visited the Prime Minister's Mansion to understand Zhiyao's attitude. In addition to admiration, the butler picked up the wine bottle and poured the empty wine jue.

"They think they are smart. But I don't know that my father has been running Jinyang for decades, how can he be easily broken by them? With Jinyang's defense, it is not a problem for two months, even if it is a siege for two years. Hehe... The two of them can't afford it. ”

Zhao Wuxian took the wine jue, raised his head and drank it all. It's incredibly refreshing. Immediately afterwards, he smacked his lips, as if he was tasting wine and tasting people.

"Tsk... Everyone is greedy. However, if you are greedy and want to eat alone, you are guilty of public anger. But he didn't know that there were three hungry wolves behind him. Ah! Rutz is stupid, and even I, a junior, can't stand it. This time I went to Handan to find an opportunity to remind them appropriately. ”

"Mention something?"

The butler's mouth opened wide in astonishment. The three of them are undying and dying, how can they raise some revenge?

"That's why I'm going to take stock of the situation. Regardless of the success of the Bank of China and the Fan family, it is not beneficial to my Zhao family. Even if Yao Xiang makes a move, he will not give me a piece of the Zhao family afterwards. Hehe, if you mention them, the result will be different. First, the grudge between the two families against their father was resolved. Second, transfer the hatred to Uncle Yao. If you look at it this way, it will be beneficial to my Zhao family. ”
