Traitor

Chapter 313 Retreat

No one expected that Zhao Wuyou would walk out of the capital alone, and retreat outside the wall with the armies of various countries to start talks.Carrying the emperor's secret letter in her arms, she discussed with many generals with the greatest sincerity without losing Daye's bearing and majesty.

These people were barbarians in the first place, and they couldn't explain many terms in detail, so they agreed with what Zhao Wuyou said.In fact, they were still afraid of Zhao Wuyou.

For a young man to go to Huanglan to discuss peace and quell the chaos of Huanglan, this is indeed not to be underestimated.Now that He Feng was killed, in Jinling City that day, Mu Baili was a man with high martial arts skills, even this couldn't kill He Feng, but this weak young man was sure to hit him with one blow.

They built their country with martial arts, and they respected Zhao Wuyou, a talent like Zhao Wuyou who subdued others without fighting.

When the news spread to Daye's court, all civil and military officials looked at each other in blank dismay. No one expected that this war would be quelled by Zhao Wuyou, the emaciated minister of the Ministry of Rites.This kind of courage is really admirable, and this kind of ability is really qualified to be the pillar of the country.

Xiao Rong absolutely did not expect that Zhao Wuyou really retreated from the coalition forces of various countries without a single soldier.He thought, probably these savages just didn't want to fight anymore and couldn't do it anymore, and He Feng was killed, so they suddenly thought of retreating, which happened to be used by Zhao Wuyou.

"My lord?" Hu Qing said in a low voice, "My lord Zhao took the initiative and quelled the turmoil. As far as the world is concerned, she is a person with great achievements. My lord, do we have to think of a way?" ?”

"Method?" Xiao Rong let out a long breath, "This king does not send troops, and Zhao Wuyou quelled the war as soon as he stepped out. In this way, this king has become a sinner in this world, and she, Zhao Wuyou, is a blessing to the world. Hmph! She really should have taken up all the good things in this world."

"My lord?" Hu Qing frowned, "Then what shall we do?"

Xiao Rong said coldly, "She, Zhao Wuyou, wants to quell the war and regain the power, but she has to see if the king will agree. She wants to solve this matter in a few words, but there is no way. Order to go on, and the troops are ready. Wait for everyone When the national army withdraws from the vicinity of the capital and prepares to evacuate, we will kill them by surprise."

Hu Qing was stunned, "If this is the case, wouldn't it be another incident? What if these barbarians come back and attack the capital again?"

"Let's see if Zhao Wuyou still has the ability to surrender to the enemy." Xiao Rong squinted his dangerous eyes, "I heard that the Qin King's army outside has arrived. This Zhao Wuyou obviously did everything right. She even sent out all the news. If I don’t consume some of her strength, I will become a turtle in an urn when these large armies surround the capital in the future.”

Hu Qing nodded, "I understand!"

"If there is another war, the enemy army will only think that it is Zhao Wuyou's dishonesty, and will go after Zhao Wuyou, and this king only needs to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Xiao Rong's calculation is very good. .

Therefore, these people are now waiting for news from Zhao Wuyou.

Including Zhao Song from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Song didn't expect that why Zhao Wuyou suddenly mobilized so many troops to form King Qin's army?He couldn't figure out, where did Zhao Wuyou have the ability to send the news, judging by the situation, it seemed that even Xiao Rong was kept in the dark.

Chen Ping stepped forward with the medicine in his hand, "Master Xiang, you should take the medicine first! Young Master is still discussing with people outside, thinking that it will be impossible for a while."

Zhao Song nodded, and glanced at the soup with disgust, "It's just a little flustered, I won't take it after taking it this time."

"Mr. Xiang's complexion is not very good. He has been unable to sleep for the past few days. Without this calming soup, he might not be able to survive." Chen Ping sighed softly, watching Zhao Song drink up the soup in one gulp.

"Benxiang has been dreaming lately, dreaming about things in the past." Zhao Song paused, "Maybe he is really old!"

Chen Ping didn't dare to say anything, Zhao Song's body was indeed a bit different these days.When did it start?It seems to be after Zhao Wuyou woke up!

On the night when he came back from the Golden Luan Palace, Zhao Song had nightmares again and again.I can't sleep well at night, and when I close my eyes, the nightmare will strike. After a few days of tossing, my body can't bear it anymore.

After all, he is getting older, and it is impossible to act like a young man.After a little bit of tossing, there will be more than enough heart but not enough energy.Zhao Song himself also felt the changes in his body, but he has been so strong and competitive all his life, it would be too embarrassing to say this, so he only let the doctor take a look in private, and did not alarm the palace physician.

The doctor looked at it and said that it was because of a bit of wind and cold, so he had nightmares at night, so he prescribed some soothing soup and drank it.However, after several days of drinking, there is no effect, which inevitably makes people discouraged, and more importantly, they are impatient.

"Keep an eye on it, I'll sleep with the truth." Zhao Song walked wearily toward the house.

God knows, when you close your eyes, you will see those messy pictures.He was really sleepy, but after he fell asleep, he kept thinking of the people he had killed, his dead wife, and his dead sons and daughters.

The pear tree was stained with blood, and the child was lying in a pool of blood. Yang Jinzhi was still breathing, but his body was covered in blood.

This scene appeared again and again, and Zhao Song was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat again.He opened his eyes, but it was getting dark. He hated the night like never before.

Drowsy during the day, afraid to sleep at night, this upside-down day and night, for Zhao Song's age, it is really a torment.Even after drinking the Anshen Decoction, I can only close my eyes and take a nap, but I still have nightmares.

"Master Xiang is awake?" Chen Ping stepped forward, looking worriedly at the haggard Zhao Song.

Zhao Song leaned there, his gray hair scattered in a mess, and his originally sharp eyes looked a little lax at the moment.He didn't know if this was retribution, and it was the first time in his life that he thought of these two words.

Tormented by the nightmare, he was so exhausted that he didn't even have the strength to struggle.My mind is blank, no conspiracy, no strategy, this meeting is not as comfortable as sleeping peacefully.

"Master Xiang?" Chen Ping said in a low voice, "Master Xiang must be hungry to prepare meals in a humble job!"

Zhao Song waved his hand, "I can't eat, let's tell the truth about the situation outside the city!"

Chen Ping bowed his head and remained silent.

Zhao Song was shocked, "What? Something happened?"

"It's over, the young master has entered the palace and hasn't come out yet." Chen Pingdao, "It is estimated that this time, the young master will become famous all over the world."

"Heh, Zhao Wuyou, Zhao Wuyou, you really didn't disappoint Truth." Zhao Song leaned there and let out a long breath, as if all the strength in his body had been pulled away, and his whole body was very depressed, "Truth After more than ten years in the imperial court, who would have thought that one day, he would lose to this young child with a yellow mouth?"

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, "Master Xiang, the young master was taught by you, so Master Xiang is not considered a loser."

"Really?" Zhao Song sneered, "now it's green out of blue and better than blue, this court will be Zhao Wuyou's in the future. Even Xiao Rong was careless for a while, I'm afraid it's too late to turn the situation back cannot."

"What Xiangye means is that the regent was also killed this time?" Chen Ping was taken aback.

Zhao Song laughed dryly, "Not only that, I'm afraid he is not far from death. In terms of leading troops and fighting, Zhao Wuyou is absolutely inferior to Xiao Rong. But if it is about court disputes, in terms of discerning people's hearts and playing tricks, Xiao Rong Rong is not Zhao Wuyou's opponent at all. This girl was handed over by the truth, she has been extremely tolerant since she was a child, and never let people easily find out her own strength."

"So since I was a child, the person I have been most wary of is her. If I didn't want to go to a neighboring country, I wouldn't hand over the court to her and cause today's irreparable disaster. The truth taught Well, it’s not as good as Jinzhi.”

Many of Zhao Wuyou's habits and dispositions were taught by Yang Jinzhi. For example, this indifferent attitude came from Yang Jinzhi's teachings.Joy and anger are invisible, and Mount Tai collapses in front of it without chaos.

Zhao Song thought, if he lost to Zhao Wuyou, it was actually tantamount to losing to Yang Jinzhi.Thinking about it, my head started to hurt.Those words of Yang Jinzhi before he died, rang in his ears over and over these days, lingering like a curse.

"Is there no movement in the Prince Regent's Mansion?" Zhao Song asked.

"Stand still." Chen Ping replied.

Zhao Song rubbed his brows, "Hmph, it's no wonder he can stand still. Zhao Wuyou suddenly became a hero of the world, he is the sinner of the world who can't stand the wall. In the future, after the fall, he, Xiao Rong, will bear the brunt of the villain. Death With so many people involved, this pot is not light!"

"Young master should have thought of these too." Chen Ping said.

Zhao Song nodded, "This girl's next move is to get rid of Xiao Rong."

"Then let's..." Chen Ping paused, "What should we do?"

"Keep an eye on it!" Zhao Song squinted his eyes, with a trace of coldness on his pale face, "To eradicate Xiao Rong, you must have a certain amount of troops. Zhao Wuyou is a minister of the Ministry of Rites and has no real power in her hands. If she can The mobilization of troops means that her wings are growing and she has reached the point where she has to be eradicated. If so, the day Xiao Rong is eradicated should be the time when she, Zhao Wuyou, will die."

Chen Ping's expression tightened slightly, "Master Xiang didn't want to..."

"Just because I want it, I will dedicate the real face to the emperor. The emperor cultivated Taoism and became an immortal, just for the sake of immortality! More than ten years ago, this thing was used to destroy the country of Tilan. After more than ten years, he naturally I will not regret a Zhao Wuyou." Zhao Song's eyes darkened, "Everyone is selfish, not to mention Zhao Wuyou's achievements are so high that he violates the king's taboo."

Chen Ping nodded, "I understand."

How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the king's pillow.

Zhao Wuyou has made such achievements at such a young age, how could the emperor not be worried?With Xiao Rong's coercive coercion, how could he allow Zhao Wuyou to become the second Xiao Rong.

Therefore, the friendship with the king can only share adversity, not wealth.

In the past, there was a doctor of Wenzhong, and later there was a plot to kill Han Xin, all of which are bloody examples.

How could Zhao Wuyou not know this truth, the emperor was already frightened, and if Zhao Wuyou did something wrong, it would arouse the emperor's suspicion.Before she has full control over the overall situation, she must forbear, extremely forbear.

When walking out of Yongshou Palace, Zhao Wuyou saw Xiao Dezi enter cautiously holding the brocade box.

Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

Xiao Dezi's voice came from inside, "Your Majesty, this is the Longevity Pill that Daoist Xu just refined."
