Zhuo Quan looked at Lian Zhen, arched his hand and said, "Why did Uncle Lian Guo have time to visit my mansion today?"

Lian Zhen smiled and said: "It's funny to say, we have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, but we rarely visit the door, which really shouldn't be." In the past two days, I heard that Captain Zhuo, who had participated in the battle outside the North Entrance Pass, had returned to his home, and I was very happy to come to visit, I wonder if General Zhuo is happy or not?"

Zhuo Yi originally had the official position of lieutenant.

Zhuo Quan heard the words and said: "Welcome, Uncle Lian Guo can come, it is really brilliant, of course welcome, please come in." ”

Zhuo Quan brought Lian Zhen to the welcome hall and let people serve tea, and said to Steward Liu: "Go and call Yi'er, come and see Uncle Lian Guo." This kid's face is so big that even Uncle Lian Guo came to see him in person. ”

Not long after, Zhuo Yi arrived at the welcome hall, first met his father, and then made a junior salute to Lian Zhen, saying, "Zhuo Yi has seen Uncle Guo." ”

Lian Zhen laughed and said, "Captain Zhuo is exempt." He looked Zhuo Yi up and down, and then said, "Captain Zhuo is really a talent." ”

Zhuo Yi replied: "Thank you Uncle Guo for the compliment, I don't know what happened to Uncle Guo?"

Lian Zhen let out an "oh" and said, "There is indeed something I want to ask the captain." ”

Zhuo Yi looked at Lian Zhen and waited for him to ask.

Lian Zhen asked: "I don't know what happened in the battle of the North Entrance back then?"

Zhuo Quan also looked at Zhuo Yi when he heard this, although he also inquired about the details, but he still wanted to hear the description of Zhuo Yi.

Zhuo Yi explained the truth in detail.

Zhuo Quan slammed the table, directly smashing the table next to him. He didn't know that Zhi Peng was besieged because Fang Zhaowei deliberately did not open the city gate to respond, and at this time, he was angry and scolded: "Damn Fang Zhaowei, he is simply a national thief, I really want to cut him with a knife." Tomorrow morning, I must ask His Majesty a copy of him. ”

Lian Zhen laughed and said: "This matter is just a one-sided statement of the captain, how can it be used as evidence." ”

Zhuo Quan said angrily: "This is not evidence, so what is evidence?"

Zhuo Yi also said: "There are still many soldiers who also know that as long as Fang Zhaowei is arrested for the first trial. ”

Lian Zhen said: "Fang Zhao is really hateful to do that, but he is also thinking about the country, if he is mixed in by spies, the ancient tablet may also be lost." Although he didn't save him when he saw death, he still kept the ancient stele, and he was meritorious to the country. ”

Zhuo Yi and Zhuo Quan both heard that Lian Zhen was wrong, Zhuo Quan looked at Lian Zhen and asked: "Uncle Guo came today, it seems that he came specifically for this matter, and the other party Zhao Wei is a defense intention in and out of words, do you want to protect him?"

Lian Zhen took a sip of tea and said: "This general, he also knows that in order to protect the ancient monument, he expresses remorse for the general's behavior of not saving him when he sees death, but he has no choice. He was worried that he would be misunderstood, so he asked me to explain it to him. ”

Zhuo Yi sneered: "Is he here to protect the mouth of the ancient stele? Uncle Lian Guo still don't want to be deceived by him, I will definitely tell Your Majesty the truth. ”

Lian Zhen knocked on the table and said, "I heard something a few days ago, saying that Xunyang County was killed by a few people in the rivers and lakes. I wonder if General Zhuo has heard of it?"

Zhuo Yi was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not good." ”

Zhuo Quan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Lian Zhen suddenly said this, so he replied: "I have also heard about it, and Your Majesty is also furious, saying that he will severely punish these people in the rivers and lakes." ”

Lian Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I've paid attention to it, and I heard that it was made by five men and one woman, oh, by the way, I still have their portraits here, General Zhuo, you can also take a look." ”

As he spoke, he took out six wanted portraits from his body and handed them to Zhuo Quan.

When Zhuo Quan heard the five men and one woman, he was shocked and felt that something was wrong, so he took the six wanted warrants and looked at them.

He looked at it and asked, "What does Uncle Lian Guo mean by this?"

Lian Zhen replied: "I have a way to suppress this matter, but Captain Zhuo must also forget that matter, and no one, including General Zhuo, can mention it to anyone." ”

Zhuo Quan squinted his eyes and did not speak.

Zhuo Yi said angrily: "Yes, I killed it, it has nothing to do with other people, I killed it alone." This person is a parent official, but he and his nephew did the thing of losing their conscience and trafficking in human beings, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they don't kill him, and I will also show this matter to Your Majesty. ”

Zhuo Quan looked at Zhuo Yi and scolded, "Shut up." ”

Lian Zhen looked at Zhuo Quan and said, "Captain Zhuo is still young, General Zhuo still has to persuade more." General Zhuo thought about it first, so I didn't bother too much and said goodbye. ”

After Lian Zhen finished speaking, he took Sun Zihao and left.

Zhuo Yi looked at his father and said, "Dad, this matter is a child who does things by himself, and has nothing to do with anyone else. I'll show you tomorrow to Your Majesty. ”

"Shut up, you should be alone? How can you be? What evidence do you have to prove that Xunyang County Commander was involved in human trafficking? Even if you have evidence, what right do you have to kill the imperial court without permission? Do you know what the crime of killing the imperial court is privately? Why are you so impulsive? It is simply stupid to make such a childish move. Zhuo Quan shouted.

Zhuo Yi said angrily: "I have already killed, what can I do? I will go and explain everything to His Majesty myself, if I want to resist my fate, I will come." ”

"You come, what are you coming? You go and talk to your mother, do you think we have too long to live, do you?

Zhuo Yi was speechless when he was scolded, and when he thought of his mother, he felt ashamed of his mother. So he didn't dare to say such things again, but asked, "What should I do then? I can't watch Uncle Ji die unjustly, I must avenge his wrongdoing." ”

Zhuo Quan held back the anger in his heart and said, "If you have done something yourself, you must accept the consequences. Not everything can be done by one person, and the consequences will inevitably implicate others, and will not be diverted by your will. You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll take care of it. ”

In the palace, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman was dressed in a pink floral dress with a gold silk pattern. Under a pair of willow leaf curved eyebrows is a pair of big black and white smart eyes. Under the straight bridge of her nose is a small mouth of Yin Tao, which is just right for her melon-like face. The face is lightly smeared with rouge, like peach blossom petals, white and red, which looks particularly beautiful.

She held the girl's hair in a bun, with a golden step on it, and looked extremely noble and gorgeous all over her body, with the fragrance of a girl, but there was a trace of sorrow on her face.

A young maid dressed in a light blue palace dress said to her, "Princess, I heard that the Zhuo family's Zhuo Gongzi has returned. ”

This woman is Zhao Hui, Emperor Zhao's favorite princess.

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who did you say came back?"

The maid said: "Captain Zhuo, Zhuo Yi, the son of General Zhuo's family." ”

"What? The Captain Zhuo you said is the son of General Zhuo's family? Didn't you say that he died in battle?" Zhao Hui asked happily.

"yes, I don't know what's going on, but I came back suddenly a few days ago, and it spread outside. The maid said.

Zhao Hui said happily: "Really, you didn't lie to me?"

The maid said, "Princess, really, how dare the slave and maid lie to you." ”

Zhao Hui turned around and asked, "Xiangwei, how do you think I am now?"

Xiangwei looked at the princess and said, "The princess is very beautiful. ”

When the princess heard this, she was very happy and said, "Your mouth is sweet." "It's like running outside.

When Xiangwei saw it, she hurriedly shouted, "Princess, where are you going?"

Zhao Hui said: "I'll go play with him." ”

Xiangwei hurriedly ran over and pulled the princess and said, "Princess, no, you are not a child now, you can't go out of the palace casually." ”

Zhao Hui thought about it and nodded and said, "Then let's go find the queen mother." ”

After saying that, she jumped towards the queen's bedroom again.

In Kunde Palace, Zhao Huang, who had a slight beard on his face and was wearing a purple embroidered gold dragon robe, looked at Queen Lian Manxue and said, "Empress, have you heard that the kid from the Zhuo family is back?"

The queen nodded and smiled: "The concubine also heard about it, and she kept saying that he was dead, why did he come back now." ”

Zhao Huang said: "I heard that the kid had amnesia due to injury before, and he didn't recover until last month. ”

"I see. Queen Lian said.

"Mother, mother. ”

With the shouting, Zhao Hui ran in.

Queen Lian looked at the princess who came in and said, "What's the matter, what kind of body is it that you are yelling and screaming." ”

Zhao Hui saw that his father was also there, and immediately saluted respectfully and said, "My son pays tribute to my father." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at the princess and said with a smile: "Hui'er is exempt, what is the matter with coming to your mother?"

Zhao Hui said obediently: "Erchen just came to see the queen mother." ”

Queen Lian smiled and said, "You come to see me, you can tell me directly, what is the matter?"

Zhao Hui pouted, a little embarrassed, and said with a twist: "Erchen heard that Captain Zhuo is back, is it true?"

Emperor Zhao and Empress Lian glanced at each other, and Emperor Zhao asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"It's General Zhuo's son, Zhuo Yi. Zhao Hui said.

"Ah, it's him, yes, he's back. Zhao Huang replied.

"Can you do that... Why don't you go and see him? Zhao Hui's voice became smaller and smaller, like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Emperor Zhao didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Hui's voice was a little louder, and she said it again.

Emperor Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, you will be allowed to go out today, you go, remember to bring the guards." ”

Zhao Hui was overjoyed and said, "Yes, thank you, father." After saying that, he left happily.

Empress Lian looked at Emperor Zhao with some puzzlement and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you allow Hui'er to leave the palace?"

Emperor Zhao sighed and said: "Today's world, on the surface, it is quite peaceful, but behind the scenes, the waves are turbulent. Bandits are rampant everywhere, coupled with the invasion of the Hongguo Kingdom in the north and the Yan State in the east, the Zhao State is already about to be stormy. There are so few people I can use. ”

Empress Lian said: "Your Majesty, you can let Uncle Guo share your worries." ”

Emperor Zhao looked at Empress Lian and said, "I have asked him to lead the army to defend the northern Hongguo. After all, he is just one person, and he can't handle such a thing, Ji Zongyong needs to guard the border for me to prevent Yan Guo from taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the domestic bandits still need someone to pacify. ”

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to activate the Zhuo family?" asked Empress Lian.

"Well, the Zhuo family is still loyal, there was a family before, and the two families have been good friends for generations, so they have to limit one. Now that the family is gone, it's time for the Zhuo family to be activated. I am ready to marry Hui'er to that kid from the Zhuo family. Zhao Huang said.

Empress Lian nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Zhao Hui took Xiangwei and a pair of guards and headed towards Zhuo's mansion.

Zhao Hui asked the guards to wait outside Zhuo's mansion, and without waiting for anyone to report, he took Xiangwei and walked directly to Zhuo's mansion.

Zhao Hui used to go in and out of Zhuo's Mansion often, but since Zhuo Yi went to the North Entrance four years ago, she rarely came.

I didn't feel unfamiliar when I came back today, and I just broke in.

The people of Zhuo Mansion also knew this princess, but she hadn't been here for a long time, and today she suddenly came again, which surprised them.

One of the doormen said, "The princess is here." ”

The other said, "Yes, what's so strange about this, didn't you come often when the young master was here before?"

In Zhuo's mansion, Kong Chao said to Zhuo Yi: "Zhuo Gongzi, I have been disturbing the mansion for two days, and it's time to leave." ”

Several people were taken aback, and Zhuo Yi asked, "Kong Zhutou, where are you going?"

Kong Chao replied: "I'm no longer a head catcher, so don't call me a head catcher anymore." I want to get a job in the city. ”

Zhuo Yi nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Kong, don't worry, it's better to live in the mansion for the time being, and wait until you find an errand." ”

Zhang Tingyu also persuaded: "Yes, Kong Zhutou, you have nowhere to go these days, junior brother can say that it is good to eat and live here, and you can live with peace of mind." ”

Zhuo Yi said: "Yes, just treat it as your own home and live in it first." ”

Ji Hongxiu looked at Zhuo Yi and said, "Senior brother, what about taking us to eat delicious food?"

Zhuo Yi said: "Exactly, today I invite everyone to eat without regrets and eat delicious." ”

Zhuo Yi was talking to his senior brothers and sisters, when Zhao Hui suddenly broke in, looked at Zhuo Yi and shouted, "Brother Zhuo Yi, you are really back." ”

Zhuo Yi saw that it was Zhao Hui, and hurriedly got up and said, "I've seen the princess, why are you here, princess?"

Zhao Hui pouted and said, "What's the matter?"

"No, it's a surprise, I haven't seen a princess for a long time. ”

"Yes, we haven't seen each other since Brother Zhuo Yi went to the North Entrance. Who are these?" asked Zhao Hui.

"Oh, this is my brother, sister and friend. Zhuo Yi introduced them to Zhao Hui one by one.

Zhang Tingyu and the others all visited the princess one by one. Deng Junming and Ji Hongxiu are quite strange, the princess is a rare animal for them, and they can't help but look at her. Ji Hongxiu muttered softly: "The princess is like this, with one nose and two eyes." ”

Deng Junming said speechlessly: "People don't all have one nose and two eyes, but can't they grow four eyes?"

Zhao Hui looked at Zhuo Yi and asked, "Brother Zhuo Yi, are you going out?"

Zhuo Yi nodded and said, "Well, I was about to take my senior brother and sister out to eat something delicious, princess, do you want to go." ”

Zhao Hui's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, okay." ”

Zhuo Yi and his entourage came to the door, Zhuo Yi looked at Zhao Hui's guards and said, "You are not allowed to bring guards." ”

Zhao Hui nodded hurriedly and said to the guards: "You are waiting here, don't follow me." ”

Under Zhao Hui's vicious eyes, those guards had no choice but to wait outside Zhuo's mansion.
