Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 150 The Envoy from the Palace
The sound of footsteps interrupted the conversation between Zhao Wuming and Sun Buer. A personal guard bowed respectfully to Zhao Wuming: "My lord, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be the eunuch order of the palace, and came here at the king's will."

"The eunuch ordered Zhang Gao?".Zhao Wuming immediately thought of this person, and looked at the guard: "Please ask him to go to the lobby, Gu will be there later."

"promise".The personal guard bowed to accept the order, and then walked outside the mansion.

Watching the guards walk away, Zhao Wuming gradually began to wonder: "What will the king do? What kind of will will he bring?"

"My lord, since the person has already arrived, why bother to think about it. Go directly to the lobby, and it will be clear at a glance."Sun Buer reminded Zhao Wuming that it is better to ask directly than to think too much.

Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, and led Sun Buer towards the lobby.

Footsteps sounded outside the lobby, Zhang Gao looked towards the door, stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "This old slave has seen the fourth son."

"Why should the eunuch be humble, I don't know what kind of purpose he brought this time."Zhao Wuming quickly helped each other, and asked Zhang Gao.

Zhang Gao smiled at Zhao Wuming: "Your Majesty misses you, and cannot bear to be separated from him. So Your Majesty hopes that when you go to Handan and Wei Guomeng in three days, you can go with me."

"Go together?"Zhao Wuming thought about these four words, why did he let himself go to Handan with him? .Thinking of this, he looked directly at Zhang Gao.It seems that he wants to find out something from his eyes: "Since it is the king's will, my son will naturally go when the time comes."

When Zhang Gao got the reply, his smile grew stronger, and he saluted again: "Since the young master has agreed, the old slave still needs to go back to the palace to report to the king. I will leave first, and ask the young master to forgive me."

"Walk slowly, don't send...".Zhao Wuming didn't like Zhang Gaoben, so seeing him leave, he naturally wouldn't keep him.

Hearing Zhao Wuming's words, Zhang Gao turned around and walked out.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly ran over and bumped into Zhang Gao.

Gao Zhao raised his head and saw Zhang Gao, he was startled: "The eunuch's order came really fast, the officials rushed too fast and still fell behind."

"Why did Master Gao say such a thing?"Zhang Gao pretended not to know and asked Gao Zhao back, but he was also surprised.This person can't be a rat, otherwise why is the speed so fast.Fortunately, I had been prepared for a long time, so I arrived here one step ahead of schedule.

Gao Zhao gave Zhang Gao a cold look, seeing that he deliberately pretended not to know, he felt even more disgusted: "Why do eunuchs ask questions knowingly?"

"Ask knowingly? I came here at the king's will, but I don't know why Master Gao hastily visited the Fourth Young Master?"Zhang Gao looked directly at Gao Zhao without showing any weakness.If it weren't for a coincidence for an official from a humble family.Taking advantage of the power of the Fourth Young Master, why should I talk too much to him.

Gao Zhao didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and waved his sleeves: "Since the eunuch's order came here according to the order, he must be in a hurry to return to the palace at this time, so the next official will not bother Mr. Zhang."

"It's easy to say, easy to say... I hope that Master Gao's feet will be faster next time."With a smile on his face, Zhang Gao made a pun at Gao Zhao.

After speaking, Zhang Gao glanced at Zhang Gao proudly, and walked out swaggeringly.

Zhao Wuming just walked out of the lobby, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Gao Zhao.Gao Zhao came to his senses and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "My lord...".

"Since you're here, let's go in and talk."Zhao Wuming interrupted Gao Zhao's words, then turned and walked towards the lobby.

Seeing Zhao Wuming sitting cross-legged on the main seat, Gao Zhao also hurriedly walked to Zhao Wuming's lower right hand and sat down: "My son has agreed to go to Handan."

"Since it is the king's will, how can there be room for the son to refuse to agree?"Zhao Wuming nodded when he heard the question.

Gao Zhao was in a hurry: "My lord, I don't know, today is the court. It was Shen Tuxiu who brought this matter up to the king, and the eunuch order and the second lord echoed it openly and secretly, that's why the king made this decree. After careful consideration, the lower officials Feeling that there might be fraud in it, so I came immediately after the court was over, but it was still too late."

"Shen Tuxiu...".Zhao Wuming read these three words with a low tone.Thinking of the ambushes in the forest yesterday, there was a wave of hatred.

Gao Zhao was taken aback, and suddenly thought of something: "My lord, you still remember the ambush in the suburbs of Xindu."

"How could my son not remember that this matter was not done by the king, but by Shen Tuxiu."Zhao Wuming's tone was firm.

Hearing Zhao Wuming's words, he abruptly blocked Gao Zhao's next words: "It turns out that the young master has also found out."

"Did you find out too?"Zhao Wuming looked at Gao Zhao slightly surprised.

Gao Zhao nodded, and explained to Zhao Wuming: "That day, I heard the young master mention this matter in the mansion. After I went back, I made many inquiries and used a lot of connections. I just learned that those men in black who assassinated the young master used weapons from the Imperial Army. .It’s just that I don’t know how the young master found out the news.”

"Yesterday, while hunting, I was again ambushed and killed by hundreds of men in black. If it wasn't for the rescue of a strong man, I would have died yesterday."Zhao Wuming thought of the thrilling scene yesterday, and told Gao Zhao.

An angry look appeared on Gao Zhao's face: "Shen Tuxiu is really too courageous. He killed the young master twice, but he still has the king in his eyes."

"It is because he has a king in his eyes that he ambushed twice."Zhao Wuming thought of Shen Tuxiu, and explained to Gao Zhao without hesitation.

Gao Zhao was at a loss for words: "Since the young master already knows that the two ambushes were done by Shen Tuxiu. Then Zhang Gao just came to the mansion to pass the decree, why did the young master not think of a way to push this matter away? After all, at this time Zhang Gao, Shen Tuxiu and the second young master, They have united into one force. The two are also suspected of being involved in the ambush set up by Shen Tuxiu."

"Reject? Do you think it will be dangerous to go to Handan?".Zhao Wuming asked Gao Zhao back.

Gao Zhao replied without hesitation: "Judging from the two ambushes, Shen Tuxiu must still have a backup. At this time, the son and the king are going to Handan together. If they set up an ambush next time, no matter whether they succeed or not, the responsibility will be pushed to Wei Guo , and then what can I do for it.”

"Could it be that my son will not be ambushed again in Xindu?".Zhao Wuming asked again.

Gao Zhao was dumbfounded, some things really cannot be avoided.

Seeing Gao Zhao's silence, Zhao Wuming felt a tinge of warmth in his heart: "This time I'm going to Handan, my son will be careful, and I'm sorry for your trouble."

"Since you have taken refuge with the Fourth Young Master, it is also your duty to be a subordinate official to care about the Fourth Young Master's safety. This trip is going to Handan, and Master Wanwang should be careful."Gao Zhao thought about it but could only do so, he could only tell Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded slightly: "I will not take my life as a trifle, Gao Zhao, you can rest assured."

"Since this is the case, I still have some affairs to deal with, so I will leave first."Seeing that the matter was finished, Gao Zhao bid farewell to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming stood up from his seat: "No."

Gao Zhao stood up from his seat, bowed, then turned and walked outside.

Seeing Gao Zhao go away, Zhao Wuming walked out of the lobby.Sun Buer bowed to Zhao Wuming outside: "Master".

"Sun Buer, you said that this Handan is really a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?"Zhao Wuming thought about the conversation he had just had with Gao Zhao in the lobby, and asked Sun Buer.

When Sun Buer heard the question, he immediately smiled: "My lord has [-] personal guards in his hands, so what are you afraid of even if you are in a dragon's pond or a tiger's den?".

"What is there to be afraid of?"Zhao Wuming thought in a low voice, and looked at Sun Buer: "Last year, I heard that you and Zhang Meng didn't know each other. It is said that he invited you to Wei Guo as a guest. I don't know if there is such a thing."

Thinking of Zhang Meng, Sun Buer still had some nostalgia, people are so wonderful sometimes.Enemies who are life and death on the battlefield can become friends when they fight: "It's true, I haven't seen Zhang Meng for a year and I don't know what happened to Zhang Meng."

"We will go to Handan in a few days, and we will meet them for a while. Last time we were enemies with each other, so we didn't talk too much. This time, the two countries will no longer have these scruples."Zhao Wuming didn't know why, but suddenly thought of what Pang Juan and the others said when Zhao Zhong led the Xindu army to help.Zhao Yu and Zhao Fan are his elder brothers but they are deadly enemies, and the king of Zhao regards him as an enemy.On the contrary, Pang Juan and others, as former enemies, acted so honestly that people could not feel disgusted.

"Handan?".Sun Buer seemed to have thought of something, and he was overjoyed: "If I go to Handan this time, if I can meet Zhang Meng, my subordinates must compete with him."

Seeing Sun Buer's overjoyed look, Zhao Wuming became a little interested, and continued to ask following his words: "Competition? You and Zhang Meng, who is better in martial arts?"

"not sure".Sun Buer thought carefully and shook his head for a while.

I thought of the scene of Sun Buer fighting a tiger and cutting off the front hoof of a horse during a hunting trip last year.Zhao Wuming couldn't help being a little puzzled: "You can't tell? That means there is a possibility that he will be stronger than you."

"On the battlefield last year, neither he nor I could use our full strength, so it's hard to say."Sun Buer explained to Zhao Wuming.

Hearing Sun Buer's explanation, Zhao Wuming made calculations in his mind.Although Nie Qiu was brave, he relied on brute force. Compared with Sun Buer, he was still inferior in force.But at this time, I heard Sun Buer describe Zhang Meng in this way, and I felt a little curious about him: "I heard that Zhang Meng is the number one warrior in the Wei Kingdom. I always thought it was a rumor. Hearing what you said today, I feel so strange." Looking forward to the contest between you and him. I just don’t know if you can stand alone and watch the battle during the contest?”.

"Martial arts competition is a matter of integrity and integrity. If the master wants to watch the battle, he can watch it."Sun Buer did not shy away from this.

Zhao Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and asked Sun Buer: "Since Zhang Meng is the number one warrior in Wei, it may not be easy for you to defeat him."

"Going to Handan this time, my subordinates will definitely defeat Zhang Meng, so that he will not dare to call himself the number one warrior."Listening to Zhao Wuming's question, Sun Buer felt a sense of pride.

Looking at the heroic Sun Buer, Zhao Wuming immediately promised: "If you can defeat Zhang Meng, I will drink a bottle of wine for you alone to celebrate."

"Since the lord has made a promise, the subordinate will do his part."Sun Buer boasted without thinking.

Seeing Sun Buer talking big like this, Zhao Wuming couldn't help joking: "Don't promise to be happy at this time, but Zhang Meng easily defeated him in the martial arts competition."

"Please rest assured, my lord, during this period of time, my subordinates will practice hard and never be easily defeated."Don't look at what Sun Buer said so proudly, in fact, he still agrees with Zhang Meng's martial arts very much.
