Volume 1 Chapter 25 The Lame Old Slave

Wei Jinzhong!

Fourteen years ago, the head of the East Palace, was the emperor's personal servant since childhood, since the establishment of Chu Zhao's father Li Zheng as the crown prince, Wei Jinzhong was sent by the emperor to the prince's side, this move in others or has the intention of monitoring and control, but those who know the emperor will know that Li Zheng's position as the crown prince has been immovable, and it is a certainty.

The entire court and even the world knew that Wei Jinzhong was the most loyal dog by the emperor's side, a sharp knife.

Although he is a contemptuous eunuch, he is extremely strong in cultivation, proficient in political affairs, and unceremoniously said to be an all-rounder who is both civil and military.

Wei Jinzhong came to the prince's side to assist the prince and be the cornerstone of his ascension to the throne to eradicate dissidents!

Since the founding of Emperor Taizu, the ancestral system has been set, and every prince has to stay in the frontier for five years, all because the Beimeng Empire in the north and the Tianzhu Kingdom in the west have been eyeing the Dafeng Dynasty, and want to encroach on the fertile land of the Dafeng Dynasty, and there will be a big war every few years, so it is destined that every emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty must be a civil and military person, otherwise it is not enough to be the monarch of a country.

The first emperor had thirteen princes, each of whom was able to take charge of the throne on their own, and most of them were ambitious and coveted the throne.

The emperor's move was to give the crown prince a strong boost and eradicate the power of the princes in the army, so as to avoid twists and turns in the future accession to the throne.

This matter should have been gradual and quietly weakened the military power of the princes, but the first emperor was a "horse emperor", a good conquest of his life, and he left a hidden disease when he was young, and he was over fifty years old and would die soon, so the first emperor ordered Wei Jinzhong to speed up the eradication of the princes' forces, so as to facilitate the smooth transfer of imperial power.

So after the sudden death of the first emperor, the "Three Kings Rebellion" broke out immediately.

Back then, Wei Jinzhong and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were also prepared, although they couldn't stop it, but they were also under control, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mistakenly believed that the Four Princes were the current saints, which made all the plans fall short.

Wei Jinzhong failed to save the lives of the crown prince and the crown princess, and took the prince's last order to escort the imperial grandson, who is now Chu Zhao, to escape from the capital.

It's a pity that both are invincible with four hands, even Wei Jinzhong, who is the first master of the Beijing Division, is difficult to get rid of the pursuit, and in desperation, he uses himself as bait to lure away the enemy and hide Chu Zhao in a deserted Taoist temple, causing Chu Zhao to meet Chu Shengyang by mistake and become the first disciple of the current Qingshan Temple.

The purpose of Chu Zhao's trip down the mountain was to find Wei Jinzhong.

Ever since he learned from the mouth of his third junior brother Zhu Wu that an assassin had assassinated the Holy Lord, Chu Zhao immediately thought of Wei Jinzhong, the loyal head of the East Palace.

What did the remnants of the three kings assassinate the emperor, Chu Zhao didn't believe it at all, the remnants of the three kings died cleanly in the rebellion fourteen years ago.

Of course, nothing can be presumptuous conclusions, and everything needs to be seen to be believing, so he decided to come to Anju to find out the truth.

This trip can be described as very fruitful, he not only met Zhao Jinglong, who his father regarded as a minister of the humerus, but also learned the news of Wei Jinzhong from his mouth, and everything turned out to be the same as he expected.

"Grandpa Wei is not dead?!"

Chu Zhao was very excited for a while.

Zhao Jinglong nodded solemnly and said, "I can take you to see him." ”

"Where is he?!"

"Chong'an City!"

Chu Zhao was stunned when he heard this, Gonggong Wei is in the state capital?!

"Grandpa Wei is in my mansion, you only need to follow me to the state capital, and everything will be clear. ”

Chu Zhao gradually stabilized his mind, but still did not fully believe Zhao Jinglong's words, if he set up an ambush, Chu Zhao could really be said to be difficult to fly, but this risk, he had to take the risk.

"I'll go with you!"

Chu Zhao withdrew Qingping's sword path.

In Chu Zhao's eyes, Zhao Jinglong's strength is not worth mentioning.

Zhao Jinglong does not have "Yuan Hai" in his body, he cannot become a monk, he is a pure martial cultivator, and his cultivation is physical strength, and the peak of a martial cultivation is only equivalent to a monk of the Five Realms, and he is not a threat to Chu Zhao at all.

In fact, Zhao Jinglong's ability does not lie in personal strength, but in leading troops to fight.

Zhao Jinglong was originally an ordinary border soldier on the border, because he was appreciated by Li Zheng, who had not yet become the crown prince, and Zhao Jinglong did not disappoint Li Zheng, leading the troops to fight and conquer all the battles, and there were dozens of battles on the border in five years, without any defeat, and he was known as the "winning general"!

Zhao Jinglong woke up the two guards who had been knocked unconscious by Chu Zhao, explained a few words under the guard's puzzled gaze, and then hurried towards Chong'an City with Chu Zhao.

After a day without words, in the early morning of the second day, Chu Zhao and Zhao Jinglong rushed to Chong'an City.

Because Zhao Jinglong was visiting Runing City privately, he did not alarm the government when he entered the city, but led Chu Zhao to Chong'an City's residence very quickly.

Zhao Jinglong is a general in Anzhou, and his official position is half a level shorter than that of Lord Thorn Shi, but because he is not a subordinate relationship, and Zhao Jinglong holds the absolute military power of Yizhou, his actual status is basically on par with Lord Thorn Shi, so Zhao Jinglong's mansion is located in the most wealthy section of Chong'an City, with red and black tiles and high walls and courtyards, and a majestic atmosphere.

Zhao Jinglong led Chu Zhao into through the back door and walked straight towards a hidden courtyard in the back garden.

The small courtyard is not big, it is extremely ordinary, and Chu Zhao keenly found that there are many secret guards guarding the dark place, and the protection is strict and dense.

Pushing the door into the hospital, Chu Zhao couldn't hide his anticipation, only to see that the courtyard heard movement, and two young people in their twenties, a man and a woman, ran out, and when they saw Chu Zhao, they showed a look of vigilance, and said to Zhao Jinglong: "General Zhao is back." ”

Zhao Jinglong greeted with a smile and asked, "Is Grandpa Wei better?"

The man was very vigilant, glanced at Chu Zhao, and asked Zhao Jinglong with his eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll know who he is later. ”

The woman said: "Master's injury has improved, but the injury is too serious, and he wants to fully recover unless he can get ......."

"The old man is not as bad as you think. ”

A hoarse and weak voice sounded, and a figure limped out of the room, and a man and a woman hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Master, why did you come out. The woman reproached.

The old man has reached the age of antiquity, gray hair, but the skin is very well maintained, only from the face of the appearance of no more than sixty years old, short stature, hunchback, left arm sleeve empty, it can be seen that the entire left arm is broken, when walking the right leg is not straight and limping.

It's hard to imagine that such a disabled old man who looks like he is in his last years was a "big red robe" who was above 10,000 people in the court!

"Who is this little friend?"

Chu Zhao looked at the old man, his eyes were moist, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhao Jinglong walked to the old man's side, waved his hand lightly, waved off the secret guard who protected the courtyard, and said with a smile: "He is the person you will never forget." ”

The old man looked at Chu Zhao in a daze, his old eyes were in tears, and he knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Old slave Wei Jinzhong greets His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson!"
