Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 151 Gift of the Sword
"Uncle, let Sun Shiwei not be easily defeated by anyone."Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo ran over at some point, and the two cubs hurriedly followed them, playing with each other.

Zhao Wuming followed the voice and looked over, Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo bowed to him: "I have seen my uncle."

"When did you guys come?"Zhao Wuming asked the two of them.

Zhao Yong smiled at Zhao Wuming when he heard the question: "Just when Guard Sun said that we will not be easily defeated, we arrived. Uncle, who do you want Sun Guard to compete with?".

"yes".Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, as if thinking of something: "Why did you come to my residence?".

"Isn't the savior yesterday in my uncle's house? My mother told me that I can't forget my life-saving grace, so I specially ordered my nephew to come and visit me."Zhao Yong remembered his mother's explanation, and replied respectfully to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming looked Zhao Yong up and down, and saw that his hands were empty, showing a suspicious expression: "The prince's wife ordered you to come here empty-handed, to visit the savior?".

"Empty hands?".Zhao Yong came to his senses in an instant, and explained to Zhao Wuming: "The present is outside the door, and the waiter Huang will hold it."

"Huang Hao is here too?"Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, then came to his senses and walked outside the mansion.

Footsteps came from inside the mansion, Huang Hao stood outside looking at the gate, holding a box in his hand.Seeing Zhao Wuming slowly walking out from the inside, he bowed slightly to him: "I have seen the fourth son."

"The servant Huang is outside the mansion, why not let the guards in the mansion go in and communicate."Zhao Wuming was a little puzzled when he saw Huang Hao.

Huang Hao stood up straight and explained to Zhao Wuming: "Just now I saw Mr. Gao leave the son's mansion in a hurry. At this time, the son must be thinking about important matters. How can these sundries disturb the son's mind. It's just that the prince is young. Restless, entered the mansion privately without the consent of the Fourth Young Master, and please forgive the crime of the Fourth Young Master."

"It's okay, Yong'er is my son's nephew. To him, my mansion is just like other mansions, so why should we pass it on?"After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he pointed to the mansion: "I already know the reason for your visit, please come in...".

Huang Hao bowed slightly again, with a very respectful tone: "Thank you, Fourth Young Master."

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Wuming led Huang Hao, Zhao Yong and others to the room where Nie Qiu lived.

In the room, Nie Chou had already got up at some point, walking carefully while supporting the bed, when he heard footsteps, he turned his head to look: "Fourth Young Master...".

"This is my nephews Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo, and this is Huang Hao, the servant of the Prince's Mansion."Zhao Wuming introduced Nie Qiu one by one.

Just as Nie Qiu was about to return the gift, he bowed slightly.But there was a sense of pain, and a painful expression gradually appeared on his face.

Sun Bu'er hurried to help, Huang Hao bowed to Nie Qiu: "By the order of the crown prince's wife, I came to thank the strong man for saving his life. The strong man has not recovered from his serious injuries, why doesn't he recuperate in bed? Get out of bed now Walking, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"Thank you Huang for your concern. It's just that I had a long talk with the fourth son just now, and it's hard to calm down when I mention those past events. I want to return immediately, but my body can't bear it, so I can only feel sad alone."With Sun Buer's support, Nie Qiu sat on the bed again, leaning on the head of the bed with a slightly downcast expression.

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming suspiciously, and then looked at Nie Chou: "Since you saved my life, I owe you a friendship. I don't know what the past is. I am willing to help if I can."

"Since it's the past, it's worth not mentioning it. At this time, I just want to return to my hometown immediately, but it's a pity... ".Nie Qiu thought of his current physical condition, and then fell silent.

Zhao Yong looked at Huang Hao, and Huang Hao asked Nie Qiu thoughtfully: "I don't know where the hometown of the strong man is."

"Daijun".Nie Qiu replied without thinking.

Huang Hao showed hesitation: "The strong man wants to go back immediately, but there is actually a way."

"I also ask Huang's servant to tell you."Hearing Huang Hao's words, Nie Qiu couldn't help feeling hopeful about going back.

Now that the words have been spoken, Huang Hao has nothing to hide, and looks at Zhao Yong: "The king and grandson can ask the prince's wife to send the strong man back to his hometown in a four-horse cart."

"Sima cart?"Zhao Wuming was a little puzzled.

Huang Hao explained to Zhao Wuming: "The four-horse cart is pulled by four good horses, and it is extraordinarily luxurious. Among all countries, only the king, prince, son, minister, general, and lieutenant can own it. The interior of the cart is spacious. Everything is available, and you can hardly feel the pain of bumps when driving on the road. It is appropriate to use this car to send a strong man back. But this car will not go out lightly, and it may be difficult to convince the prince’s wife.”

"Thank you Huang Neishi for your kindness. It's just a four-horse cart, which is a show of luxury and dignity. I am a poor person, how dare I ride in that thing."Nie Qiu had obviously heard of the name of the four-horse cart, so he refused without hesitation.The hope turned into despair in an instant, and his expression gradually dimmed.

Zhao Yong thought for a while, and promised Nie Qiu: "If you save my life, I will definitely persuade my mother to take you back to your hometown in that car."

"Thank you Wang Sun for your kindness, no need."Nie Qiu continued to refuse.

Zhao Wuming recollected Huang Hao's words, as if he felt something: "You said the young master also has this thing? In other words, this young master's mansion should also have this thing."

"The son is the fourth son of the king, so naturally he has this thing."Huang Hao replied without thinking.

Zhao Wuming reacted, and looked at Sun Buer: "You go to the mansion and look for it, see if you can find this car."

"promise".Sun Buer bowed and walked outside the house.

Not long after, Sun Buer came over and looked at Zhao Wuming: "I report to my lord, but there is this thing in the house."

"Since there is such a thing, why bother to speak to the Prince's Mansion."After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he looked at Nie Qiu: "If you really want to go back, I will let someone use this car to take you back."

"Thank you for your kindness, son, I want to return to my hometown immediately."Nie Qiu was overjoyed, thinking of his beloved who was looted by Lou Fan, he didn't want to stay any longer.

Seeing his firm attitude, Zhao Wuming didn't force him to stay: "Okay, I hope you take care of yourself."

"The strong man is already anxious to go back, but the king and grandson have to repay the life-saving grace."After Huang Hao finished speaking, he opened the box in his hand: "This is a gift prepared by the prince's wife, as a thank you for your kindness. The strong man can just use these as financial resources."

"Is this, this money too much?"Nie Qiu saw that the box was full of knives and cloth coins, and was shocked.

Zhao Yong looked at Nie Chou's surprised look, and persuaded him: "You saved Gu's life, isn't Gu's life worth the money?".

"In this case, I am ashamed to accept it."Nie Qiu thought that after going back, he would go to Loufan, and he had a lot of money to spend, so he didn't delay.

Seeing this, Huang Hao covered the box with satisfaction and put it beside Nie Qiu's bed.

Zhao Wuming looked at Sun Buer and told him: "Order the people in the mansion to prepare a four-horse cart outside the mansion, and send Nie Qiu to Daijun immediately."

"promise".Sun Buer bowed to accept the order and walked outside the house.

Zhao Wuming looked at the box full of coins beside the bed, and turned his gaze to Nie Qiu: "I wonder what else do you need at this time?".

"Money, cars and horses are not what I want. I just ask you not to forget what the two of you talked about."Nie Qiu asked Zhao Wuming to confirm this again worriedly.

Zhao Wuming nodded: "A man promises a thousand gold, not to mention that you saved my son's life twice, and what you promised will naturally be done."

"Uncle, what did you promise him?"Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming curiously.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yong and explained to him: "Send people to Loufan to rescue his beloved."

"Uncle, what is a beloved?".Xue Zimo asked Zhao Wuming puzzledly.

Zhao Wuming was dumb, thinking for a while: "When you grow up, you will naturally understand what a loved one is."

"Uncle, do you have someone you love?"Zhao Yong obviously didn't want to be fooled by Zhao Wuming, so he asked him.

Huang Hao seemed to have thought of something, and his face gradually became serious: "Young master, you just said. Send people to Loufan to rescue the beloved of this strong man?".

"kindness".Zhao Wuming responded casually.

Huang Hao's face became serious again: "Forgive me, the loss of Handan in our country will seriously hurt our vitality. At this time, provoking Lou Fan may not be worth the loss."

"It doesn't matter".Listening to Huang Hao's analysis, Zhao Wuming shook his head lightly.

Huang Hao wanted to continue talking, but he heard footsteps, and Sun Buer came over and saluted Zhao Wuming: "My lord, the carriage is ready."

"Call a few guards and carry him into the carriage."Zhao Wuming gave instructions to Sun Buer.

"promise".Sun Buer bowed to accept the order and waved behind him.Several personal guards came from outside the door carrying a stretcher, obviously they had expected this.

Nie Qiu was carried out of the mansion by several personal guards, since Zhao Wuming followed closely behind to see him off.

Several personal guards carried Nie Chou into the carriage, Zhao Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and asked Nie Chou: "I saw you hunting a tiger yesterday, and you were holding a thick wooden stick. I wonder if you have a decent weapon in your hand."

"Where can people in the countryside afford weapons?"Nie Qiu explained to Zhao Wuming outside the carriage.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while and looked at Sun Buer: "Go get a sword worn by the personal guard in the mansion."

"promise".Sun Buer took the order, turned around and walked towards the mansion.

Not long after, Sun Bu held a bronze sword in his second hand and handed it to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming took it and handed it to Nie Qiu in the carriage: "If you go back, you will probably go to Loufan immediately. I can't give you a gift, I can only give you a sword for self-defense. The journey is far away, please take care. Hope to see you again in the future.”

"Nie Qiu will remember the son's words. If we meet again someday, Nie Qiu will bring his wife and children and sweep the couch to welcome him."Nie Qiu reluctantly bowed to Zhao Wuming in the carriage, and when he mentioned the word wife and children, his tone was extraordinarily firm.

Zhao Wuming returned the salute, and a personal guard lowered the door curtain of the carriage.The coachman seemed to have received an order, and he whipped the whip heavily, and the four good horses neighed together and galloped forward.

Xue Zimo looked at the carriage going away, his eyes were full of puzzlement: "Uncle, he is seriously injured, why don't you force him to stay in the mansion for a few more days to recuperate."

"Some things and some people are more important than his life, so why force him to stay."Zhao Wuming didn't care if they understood or not, he explained directly to them.

Huang Hao smiled and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "Since the matter has been settled, Wang Sun and I will leave first."

"Go".Zhao Wuming didn't insist on staying, and nodded slightly to express his agreement.

Hearing that Zhao Wuming agreed, Huang Hao walked directly towards the Prince's Mansion.Although Zhao Yong was a little puzzled, he still followed with Xue Zimo.

The two cubs playing outside the house saw their little master walking away, and stopped playing immediately, and ran wildly in their direction.
