Chapter 96: Zhao Lei who was targeted
After thinking about the plan, Zhao Lei didn't say anything, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better, it's best to have yourself alone.
In the final analysis, now Zhao Lei is still alone in the real sense, he has no henchmen worthy of entrusting his life, and no one in the Blood Knife Gang has the strength to act with him.
It's getting late today, although the moon is dark and the wind is high, when killing people and setting fires, Zhao Lei has no plans tonight.
Zhao Lei began to rest after a simple wash, he practiced for a day today, and then went to deal with the matter of Meng Bei, his spirit was already exhausted, although his body could still bear it, but his mind was already a little dizzy.
After being stained with the quilt, a subtle snoring sound came from Zhao Lei's mouth and nose, as if he had fallen asleep.
At this time, the Yanwang Mansion was still brightly lit, and Zhao Xuan was even more busy with his feet not touching the ground, and now he only felt a hot pain in his throat, as if he was about to smoke.
Even good tea can't alleviate this situation, in the past, this was unusual, but at this time, Zhao Xuan didn't care about these little things at all, although he was physically tired now, his spirit has always been very excited, and his ambition of more than thirty years is about to start to be realized, how can he not be excited.
Today, all the invitations have been distributed, and a banquet will be held at Qian's house in three days, which will be the first step in his struggle for hegemony.
Zhao Xuan understands that now is the best time, if this period of time passes, he will not know what year and month he will have to wait for in the future.
Outside, Zhao and neighboring countries fought one after another, and the elite soldiers died on the front line one after another.
In the year, disasters have been carried out and people have been displaced.
Some time ago, King Yan was even called to the front line and regained control of the army, plus Zhao Xuan's plea a few days ago was finally answered, the time and place were favorable, and they were all on his side.
Zhao Xuan found that everything was going smoothly since he found out that he was preparing to start an incident, which is the best proof, but a small incident happened two days ago, which made him a little uncomfortable.
The party involved in this matter is Zhao Lei, Zhao Xuan has been in contact with Huang Meng for a while, and he has already persuaded him to join his camp, but he didn't think about it and made waves again.
Of course, Zhao Xuan didn't have any feelings about Huang Meng's death, the losers were worthless, and they would die if they died, it was a pity that the formation was originally used to train his own soldiers after he got it.
Even Huang Meng's crooked melons and cracked jujube subordinates can make a name for themselves as thirteen evil ghosts, let alone these elite soldiers and strong generals under him.
It's not that Zhao Xuan doesn't have a combined attack formation, but it is indeed rare to be as subtle as Huang Meng, not to mention that those formations are in the hands of his father Yan Wang, he doesn't know what his father thinks, so he naturally refuses to give it to him.
In Zhao Xuan's opinion, his father was too pedantic, otherwise it was King Yan who ascended to the throne a few years ago, not the cowardly King Zhao now.
Even this time when he was preparing for the incident, Zhao Xuan didn't tell his father, but he had already informed his subordinates to get ready, as long as he received the news, he would rush eight hundred miles, and the information would be handed over to King Yan first.
As long as by that time, the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, Yan Wang naturally knows what to do.
Rebellion is not a dinner party, even if King Yan doesn't want to, he can't help it, his subordinates will carry him to that position, few people don't want to progress, how can there be credit in the world compared to the merit of the dragon.
Zhao Xuan's stay this time was also carefully conspired, originally King Yan also wanted to take Zhao Xuan to the front line with him, take him to experience experience, be familiar with the battlefield fighting, not to mention making military achievements, that is also a kind of growth for Zhao Xuan.
It was on the last day of this expedition that Zhao Xuan was unexpectedly 'sick', and it was not suitable for tiring travel, so he had no choice but to leave his son behind.
King Yan took Zhao Xuan away, also because he always knew that his son was not very peaceful, he could still hold on, and once he left, this Pingyang City would not become his world.
There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.
However, Huang Meng's death, Zhao Xuan just regretted that set of formations, and he didn't care too much, otherwise he wouldn't have invited Zhao Lei and let him make that great achievement with him, but took revenge.
Zhao Xuan wanted this exercise, but also to improve the strength of his personal guard, so that he could be more confident in the face of those people, and it didn't matter much if he didn't get it now, anyway, after the incident, his father would naturally give him other formations.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan was very interested in Zhao Lei.
As far as he knew, Zhao Lei came from outside the city a few days ago and should be a foreigner, but according to the soldiers guarding the city, he had never seen Zhao Lei.
And a few days ago, Duan Yong, the chief of the city, and one of the soldiers died in Duan Yong's house, and there was a woman next to him, who died miserably.
Especially Duan Yong, his face was hideous, as if he had suffered some extreme pain before he died, and he was even frightened by the arrest of the case at that time.
Because of this incident, there was also a little anecdote, Zhao Xuan vaguely remembered that Duan Yong seemed to be a cousin of the county concubine.
Then because of Duan Yong's tragic death, the concubine begged the county order to catch the murderer and avenge her cousin.
If there is a murder on West Street, the county government will naturally investigate it, but the county order was his concubine, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he demoted her to a maid.
This little concubine was suddenly demoted to a maid because she had enjoyed the glory and wealth, and was harassed and ridiculed by other servants, so she immediately brought a green hat to the county order for revenge, and then hanged herself.
That's right, it's a green hat, this kind of thing is a trivial matter, and the concubine is just a maid in essence, she has no human rights, and she will die if she dies.
But Duan Yong's cousin was also a strange person, at that time, she was dressed in light veils and had fornications with several foot leaners, and then hanged herself naked.
The county order was also made anxious, very faceless, in order to get angry, he also asked someone to throw her into a mass grave, fed wild dogs, and ordered his subordinates to nail into the center of her eyebrows with a long nail, and she was never allowed to overtake.
This matter has been rumored in the past two days, and even Zhao Xuan, who is only dedicated to big things, has heard it, and it is estimated that there are still many people who want to see the jokes of the previous high-ranking county orders at this banquet.
And the time of Duan Yong's death coincided with the time when Zhao Lei appeared, presumably Zhao Lei and their death were inextricably linked.
From another point of view, Zhao Lei is the culprit of the county order's scandal.
If Zhao Lei is sensible, Zhao Xuan will naturally be hesitant to use it, and he has always attached great importance to talents.
The details of the battle between Zhao Lei and Huang Meng are naturally known to Zhao Xuan, in his opinion, Huang Meng, who has cast the thirty-six changes in the sky, has become a top master, and there are not many masters of this level by Zhao Xuan's side.
And since Zhao Lei can kill Huang Meng and the Thirteen Evil Ghosts devastatingly, his natural strength is much higher, such a talent, Zhao Xuan will not retaliate against Zhao Lei because of some non-existent face, he is reluctant.
