in the hallway.

Lord Zhao stood still, raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky.

Behind him is a mural carved with a hundred birds and a phoenix.

The breeze blows, but it still can't blow the sorrow.

"Alas......"

Lord Zhao rubbed his eyebrows.

At this moment, Zhuang Ming was talking to King Chen.

Even if Zhuang Ming seemed to be in his chest, Lord Zhao still felt that he couldn't be optimistic.

This time the incident is really too big.

Zhuang Ming dared to ambush and kill the people of the government and loot the things of the government, which was a serious crime enough to rob the family and destroy the clan.

Although Zhuang Ming has always been wise, after the seizure of Zhuang's firm, it is not impossible to take a risk and break the net.

It's quiet now, but what's going on inside?

King Chen was angry to the extreme, he thought very highly of himself, as a prince, came from the capital, came to Huai'an, his heart was arrogant, compared to the lower realm of the gods, and regarded all people in Huai'an as mortal ants.

But the ants in Huai'an, the mortal land, killed the people under his command and blocked what he was going to do.

King Chen's murderous intentions today have been undisguised, and the elite of the Zhennan Army was dispatched to the mansion to be arranged, and it was obvious that he had the intention of ambushing Zhuang Ming.

Even if King Chen killed Zhuang Ming on the spot, he would not be surprised.

However, the two masters beside Zhuang Ming are not ordinary people, I hope to keep him. ”

Lord Zhao smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, and said in his heart: "Zhuang Ming, the old man has said what he should have said, and he has done what he can do, and there is nothing he can do about the rest...... After eating so many taels of silver from you, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, and since you are determined to meet King Chen, you will ask for more blessings. ”

Just thinking like this, there was laughter behind him.

Both voices are quite familiar.

Lord Zhao showed a look of surprise on his face and slowly turned his head.

I saw a group of people coming slowly.

The first person, with a middle-aged face and a high-crowned python robe, was King Chen, and his face, which had always maintained his majesty, was full of smiles.

As for Wang Chen, there was a young man in white sitting in a wheelchair, and someone behind him was pushing the wheelchair, allowing him and Wang Chen to walk side by side.

“......”

Lord Zhao opened his mouth slightly, revealing a look of disbelief.

He originally thought that Zhuang Ming was more auspicious today.

How can the two talk happily with each other at this moment, have a lot of confidants, and hate each other?

——

"Brother Zhuang Ming, why are you in such a hurry?"

King Chen said eagerly: "Today is a banquet, why not leave a drink?"

Zhuang Ming shook his head slightly, and said: "No, there have been a lot of things recently, hundreds of warehouses and shops under the name of the trading house, after the closure is lifted, there are still many things, and I still have to deal with them personally." ”

King Chen suddenly sighed and said, "It's because this king didn't think it through, I'm really sorry." ”

Zhuang Ming waved his hand lightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lord Zhao again.

Lord Zhao still looked stunned, no matter what he thought in his heart, it was unimaginable.

Why do two people who have such a grudge and are almost immortal, but in an instant, they become confidants and talk and laugh?

"Lord Zhao. ”

Zhuang Ming said: "This time is really busy, I can't stay with the prince and your old man for a drink, just wait for another day when I am free, and then come to make amends." ”

After all, Lord Zhao is also in charge of the power of Fengcheng, and he is used to seeing a lot of wind and rain, his mood barely recovered, his expression was as usual, and he nodded: "Your Excellency is busy, it is natural, the old man has known you for many years, and he can understand." ”

Zhuang Ming smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, and forgive Zhuang for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, so he can't get up and salute." ”

Lord Zhao still exchanged a few polite words with him.

At this time, King Chen also spoke.

"Lord Zhao, you and Brother Zhuang Ming are old acquaintances, so you will give him a ride on behalf of this king. ”

"Yes, my lord. Lord Zhao gave a salute.

In this way, Zhuang Ming also retired. Zhuang Ming turned sideways, arched his hand, and answered.

"Brother Zhuang Ming, go all the way. ”

Chen Wang's tone was gentle and a little concerned.

Zhuang Ming laughed and nodded.

When the maids and servants next to them saw it, they only felt that this prince, Corporal Lixian, and Mr. Thirteen of Zhuang's Commercial House were making close friends and were separating, so they were so reluctant.

——

Leave the house.

Lord Zhao's face suddenly became solemn.

"What's going on?"

Zhuang let the prince see the sincerity, and the prince naturally opened the net. Zhuang Ming smiled.

"You ......" Lord Zhao gave him a deep look.

"You don't have to worry, I have my own considerations. Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "You have been cooperating with me for some years, in recent years, I have personally worked for things, how could I have missed? I asked you to prepare before to unseal the shops and warehouses of my Zhuang firm, now you see, I have a very happy conversation with King Chen, and when you come back to the house, King Chen will let you order the old to unseal the Zhuang firm." ”

"How did you do that?" Lord Zhao frowned.

"I have my own method. Zhuang Ming smiled.

"I hope you're not a fool. Lord Zhao said: "This King Chen, has always been not very open-minded, you have lost his face, killed his people, robbed his ore, poisoned his war horses, destroyed his arsenal, he wants to cut you with a thousand knives...... No matter what method you use, in the eyes of the old man, he can only be regarded as a temporary compromise at most, but it is impossible to really let go of these things, and it is impossible to eliminate the resentment towards you. ”

"I understand. Zhuang Ming said calmly: "It's just that he made me unsafe, and I also let him live in peace, and now he is jealous, so he will get along with me for a few days, and when he comes back, it will be when he will trouble again, about these...... I expected that. ”

"Then you ......"

"Lord Zhao, don't worry, since I dare to act like this, I am completely sure. ”

"That's it, I hope it's as you wish. Lord Zhao finally sighed.

"Whatever I ask, let it be as I wish. ”

Zhuang Ming said slowly, his eyes cold.

——

Funai.

Qianyang and Yin Ming pushed Zhuang Ming away.

And Lord Zhao, as a companion, also left the mansion together.

King Chen's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Lord ......"

A person appeared behind him, in a black robe, who was the henchman who was doing things for King Chen.

Chen Wang looked at the position in the direction of the gate, his face was pale, and his eyes were cold.

"This king is above the court, and he has been intriguing with those old ghosts for many years, and he has never been so restrained. ”

"Away from the most terrible capital of conspiracy and turbulence, away from the court with the most complicated entanglement of power in the world, away from those old foxes who hold high positions, I came to Huai'an, but I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the market. ”

"This king came to Huai'an, compared himself to the lower realm of the gods, originally did not put him in his eyes, never thought that although his power is small, but his scheming and skill, words and resourcefulness are more terrible than those old foxes. ”

"Do you know that at this moment, in the heart of this king, there is really a bit of the smell of capsizing in the gutter. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chen's face showed a self-deprecating color.

The man in black shirt bowed his head slightly, but he didn't dare to say more.

King Chen closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down for a moment, his thoughts floating in his heart.

After a while, I saw that King Chen opened his eyes, and his eyes were still gloomy.

"Take my soldier talisman, pass the order, and all the Zhennan troops will be mobilized. ”

"Thousands of people escorting ore. ”

"Thousands of people transport war horses. ”

"Then with 2,000 Zhennan troops, guard the horse farm. ”

"Ordered someone to rebuild the armory workshop and transfer 2,000 Zhennan troops as guards. ”

"Let the capital transfer watermen and craftsmen as soon as possible, re-survey the waterway, and order 2,000 Zhennan troops to accompany them as guards. ”

"This king now has 50,000 Zhennan troops, what qualifications does he have to disrupt this king's arrangement?"

King Chen put his hands behind his back, ordered one by one, paused, and said: "You transfer people from the capital to closely supervise all the officials of the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an, in addition...... The events in the northwest back then brought countless military exploits to the king, as well as the salary and silver issued by the court, and later he was crowned king, thinking that he had cleaned up all his tails. ”

He looked at the man in black shirt and said coldly: "You once again thoroughly investigate the inside, since Zhuang Ming can find out and list it in detail, it shows that between us and the others, there must be a place that cannot be cleaned up!"

The black-shirted man said with a straight face: "My subordinates understand, and they will definitely try their best to investigate." ”

King Chen lowered his hand slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The day of verification is the time to eliminate the troubles, and when the troubles are eliminated, this king will definitely destroy the Qianlong Villa, seize the Zhuang firm, and then put this Zhuang Ming to death!"
