Chapter 1498 Conquering the Empire (44)

Even if the Crown Prince wished that the Seventh Prince would be bullied, he would not be happy with his subordinates daring to act so recklessly, regardless of superiority or inferiority!
This is definitely sowing discord!I must find these bastards, and I must make life and death worse for him!
Just when a group of people were waiting for Zhao Hu to shout "Excuse me", and a group of people were waiting to see Zhao Hu get embarrassed, Zhao Hu got off his horse, knelt down on one knee to the Seventh Prince, and said with his left hand on his chest, "Xiaguan!" See Your Highness."

This kind of etiquette is the highest etiquette in the military. Generally, it is only used when the two sides have a difference of three ranks or more in rank, and when facing members of the royal family during the grand ceremony. It's just that warlords don't want to use this etiquette to others these days.

Now that Zhao Hu made this move, almost everyone was stunned, and the Seventh Prince was also frightened stupid. Why did Zhao Hu come out like this?Is he ready to pledge allegiance to himself?I wouldn't be so lucky, would I?

And those with more complex minds nodded secretly, and just a courtesy left Zhao Hu's notoriety regardless of superiority or inferiority.

Although the Seventh Prince couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, he reflexively said with a smile all over his face: "Ah, please hurry up, how can my Highness..."

Before he finished speaking, he found that Zhao Hu had already got up, and then Zhao Hu acted as if he hadn't seen the figure of the Seventh Prince, and said to the others as if nothing had happened: "Excuse me, get up."

What was even more exaggerated was that as soon as Zhao Hu finished speaking, he tossed his cloak and walked into the Marshal's Mansion.

Everyone was dumbfounded this time, and the expression of the Seventh Prince couldn't help but change, what is this?Not only did he not respond to his own words, but he also completely pretended that he did not exist!Since this is the case, why do you have to do such a big gift?This is not being arrogant!
People with complicated brains understand that Zhao Hu's move is to show that he respects the royal family, but at the same time does not take the Seventh Prince seriously, it is for the Crown Prince to see.

I didn't expect that such a small matter of etiquette would have so many fusses. It seems that the warlord is not a good character to get along with. I have no soldiers and no power. It is better to be a man with my tail between my legs in this troubled world.

Zhou Wen gave the Seventh Prince a hard look, then followed Zhao Hu into the Marshal's Mansion, and then several higher-ranking inner guards gave the Seventh Prince a few murderous looks.

The Seventh Prince was not an ordinary person either, and he soon understood the reason, and immediately let a look of fear and fear appear on his face, and walked in cautiously with a submissive look.

The seventh prince knew that someone was molesting Zhao Hu, but this kind of molesting, anyone would think that he, the prince, was out of anger!This is really a great injustice!Are you such an idiot?Who knows if this Lord Overseer will directly draw his sword and cut himself off when he becomes furious, there is no place to appeal for injustice!I curse the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the framed person!
When the dignitaries walked into the Marshal's Mansion one by one, the last man in the crowd inadvertently pointed at Zhao Hu's back in the crowd, showing an expression of gnashing his teeth and aggrieved.

It's just that he didn't expect that just after he subconsciously showed an expression that fit his mood, he would suddenly have a headache and then lose all consciousness.

The dignitary walking in front subconsciously turned his head to look, and blinked a little suspiciously. Wasn't there a person behind him just now? Why didn't he disappear?Instead let yourself be the last one?Are you dazzled?
The dignitary shook his head in bewilderment, thinking about what to do with all these things at this time, so he quickly put his doubts aside.

Of course, Zhao Hu's inner guard saw the last dignitary in the crowd knocked unconscious by two secret guards who suddenly appeared, and quickly disappeared with the dignitary.

Apart from guessing secretly what the rich man had done, the expressions on their faces were absolutely as if they hadn't seen what happened just now.

After entering the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhao Hu politely invited the Seventh Prince to take the first place. The Seventh Prince is not an idiot. Of course he knows that this is a matter of politeness. Just now, a question of etiquette made Zhao Hujun hostile to him. Now there is another temptation to take the first place. I'm afraid someone will assassinate him.

Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince hurriedly sat down first. As long as he had already sat down, how could Zhao Hu drag himself to the first place?Seeing the appearance of the Seventh Prince, Zhao Hu had no choice but to give up, and the dignitaries sat down more obediently according to their status.

Although after sitting down, some people found that there seemed to be fewer people, but at this time, it was enough to sweep the snow in front of the door. No one would be stupid enough to call out. Who knows who the missing guy is?
"Well, this righteous act of recovering Haiquan Province has received your great help, and because of your support, the soldiers of my [-]th Legion can restore the glory of Haiquan Province so easily..."

Zhao Hu, who had already made preparations, began to exaggerate the role of these dignitaries.

Zhou Wen, standing behind Zhao Hu, carefully observed the expressions of everyone in the hall.

Zhou Wen found that these dignitaries were a little complacent, while others were fearful. Only one of them frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but immediately focus on these dignitaries.

Zhou Wen, who is in charge of commanding the secret guard system, knows who these people are. One is the chairman of the Haiquan Provincial Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the other is the brigade leader of the local garrison. The other is the sheriff of the county below.

These three people are just more flexible in their minds, and their positions are not worthy of Zhou Wen's attention, so after remembering their faces, they put this matter aside.

After Zhao Hu's words were over, these dignitaries scrambled to say that they didn't dare to be the first, but Zhao Hu's next words made them all prick up their ears: "Since everyone supports the recovery of Haiquan Province, the next thing is also I hope you will continue to support me.”

Hearing this, most people's faces were a bit ugly. In their minds, the so-called support is to repay the money. Which new official took office to blackmail him?Now I hope that the Lord Overseer will not open his mouth like a lion.

"Now Haiquan Province has just been restored and needs a lot of manpower. You are all famous people, and your family education must have been done very well, so I ask you to recommend one or two outstanding nephews in your family to help me manage Haiquansheng, I wonder if you are willing to help with this?" Zhao Hu said lightly.

The dignitaries who were about to cover their chests with distressed eyes immediately lit up when they heard the words, and they were worried that they would not have the opportunity to enter the system of Lord Overseer, but now they have such a great opportunity to come here?This can not only exempt the previous relationship with Kate's division commander, but also make his family prosperous.

At the first moment, everyone happily expressed their willingness to immediately recommend a few juniors to serve the Lord Overseer. Although everyone knew that this was tantamount to being a hostage, this was also a way to reassure both parties, wasn't it?
However, those who don't know Zhao Hujun's internal system are thinking about which useless nephews in the family to throw to Zhao Hu, while those who know Zhao Hujun's internal details are thinking about choosing which outstanding junior to recommend to Zhao Hu.

The two completely different thoughts made a strange atmosphere suddenly appear in the lobby. The well-informed Zhao Hu knew what was going on when he saw the expressions of everyone, and smiled slightly and said: "Since everyone has no objections, then go back Get ready and report the list before noon the next day."

Everyone is a smart person, as soon as they heard this, they knew that they were seeing off the guests, and hurriedly got up and saluted to leave. The seventh prince also wanted to leave, but was left behind by Zhao Hu. He ran, and suddenly disappeared.

Looking at the uneasy and immature Seventh Prince in front of him, Zhao Hu sighed in his heart, and said in a very casual tone: "Your Highness, you can live in the Marshal's Mansion for the time being."

"Damn it, Zhao Hu hasn't decided how to deal with His Highness yet? It looks like he's going to be frightened for a while." Although the Seventh Prince thought so in his heart, he had a reassured look on his face. He thanked Zhao Hu gratefully, and then followed the guards down to settle down.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the lobby, Zhou Wen asked aloud, "My lord, what should the Seventh Prince do with those people hiding in the dark?"

Zhao Hu thought about it and said: "Well, let's monitor it temporarily, if it doesn't harm us, don't pay too much attention to it."

"What about the seventh prince? How about sending him to the imperial capital and handing him over to the crown prince? Otherwise, if something happens to us, it will be a big trouble." Zhou Wen suggested.

Zhao Hu pondered for a moment: "Temporarily put him under house arrest, he is only a teenager after all."

Zhou Wen hesitated when he heard this.

He knew that his lord was pitiful for the seventh prince, and the idiot also knew that sending a prince like him to the imperial capital would definitely cause no news of his life or death. It's just that imprisoning the prince in private like this would damage the lord's reputation. It aroused the suspicion of the crown prince.

But Zhou Wen immediately laughed at himself, did he really regard the No.20 Legion as the direct line of the crown prince?To act in consideration of the Crown Prince's face?Hey, as long as the master is willing, so what if the prince is placed under house arrest?How can you take over your own family if you have suspicions?

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen immediately said respectfully: "Yes, but I am a little confused, why should those dignitaries from Haiquan Province be allowed to enter our system? The talents we cultivated by ourselves are enough to fill the manpower needed by Haiquan Province." Zhou Wen was very puzzled by this.
