Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 167 Thunder Wrath

The horseshoes were galloping, and the army of the Gong clan moved forward slowly, when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Jun Xingping stay a step."

Mr. Xingping was taken aback, the chariot pulled the reins, and the chariot stopped.The army of tens of thousands of Gongzu immediately stopped moving forward.

Seeing Xue Qian galloping towards him on a war horse, Mr. Xingping showed a puzzled look: "Stop me, what's the matter?"

"Fourth, the fourth son's life is at stake."Xue Qian didn't have time to get off his horse and salute, panting to tell Mr. Xingping about his visit.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar immediately, and a dozen elderly lords suddenly became furious.

"It's unreasonable. I knew the situation had changed when I saw that the Fourth Young Master hadn't arrived today. I didn't expect it to be true, just like I guessed."

"As soon as the envoys of Wei State arrived in Xindu, the king hurriedly told me to withdraw our troops. If you have no regrets in your heart, why should you do this?"

"Mr. Xingping, is this the promise you made to Mr. Anyang, whose bones were not yet cold?"

"If Zhao Zhong really dares to kill the fourth son, I will seek justice even if my family is destroyed. Even if my country of Zhao perishes, even if you forget the love of life and death in the past, I will take revenge alone ".

"Zhao Zhong has been suppressing our clan all these years. If it weren't for your promise from Mr. Xingping back then, how could we have allowed him to do so?"

"In the past, the 60 male army, Zhao Zhong really thought he could withdraw? As long as we wait for the fief, why worry about having no soldiers, no food, and no one."

"If the king punishes and kills the fourth son, I am willing to raise troops."

"While we are still alive, let's settle an account for Mr. Anyang."

Looking at the dozen or so lords who were furious, Lord Xingping secretly got angry.In front of his face, Zhao Zhong patted his chest and said to save Zhao Wuming's life.As a result, as soon as I left, something like this came from behind: "Everyone, the matter is unclear, so don't make random guesses."

"Guess? Don't you think I'm going to be blind? Zhao Zhong hurriedly redeemed Handan from Wei, and secretly dispatched the Imperial Army to fear that I might withdraw one day later. The elite of my family only has 30. But if you want to fight to the death, it is not difficult to draw 10,000+ young adults from the fief in an emergency."One of the lords almost roared, and then the rest of the lords stared at Lord Xingping with angry faces.

"enough".Mr. Xingping let out a snarl, and immediately calmed down: "After listening to the reason, it's not too late to say it."

"Just when the king returned to the palace, he ordered my father to hold a banquet outside the city of Handan for the guards of Handan. At the same time, let the imperial army take over the defense and lock the gates of the four cities of Handan. Now the palace is full of imperial soldiers and horses. My father speculates, Your Majesty's move is to kill the Fourth Young Master."Xue Qian explained to the lords.

All the lords breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the word speculation: "Is it a little inappropriate for you to come here in a hurry just relying on speculation."

"Although it is speculation, given the current situation, if the king hadn't killed the fourth son, why would there be such a big battle."Xue Qian asked them back.

All the lords fell into contemplation, and Lord Xingping looked around: "The situation is unclear, but we have to wait. This lord proposes that you write letters back to the fief, so that the people in the fief are ready to raise troops. At the same time, lead the army, Return to Handan and wait and see. If the king is really trying to kill the fourth son, enter the palace immediately."

"According to Mr. Xingping's words."All the lords nodded slowly, and then the chariot turned around, and the front army of the army changed back to the army and galloped away in the direction of Handan.

The sound of footsteps coming from the north gate of Handan, Xue Li and Zhao Yu looked over at the same time.

Lord Xingping bowed to Zhao Yu on the chariot: "Prince, what is the situation?"

"Just now came the news that the queen mother has escorted the fourth brother to meet the father. But I am afraid that the king will forcefully kill the fourth brother, so I invite all uncles and uncles to enter the palace immediately."Zhao Yu explained to Xin Pingjun and others.

All the lords were furious: "It's unreasonable, Mr. Xingping and we will enter the palace immediately. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will face Mr. Anyang who is under Jiuquan silently."

"Wait a minute, everyone. Now the imperial guards have taken control of Handan and even the royal palace, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of you can't enter. The fourth son has the grace of life for the guards of Handan, and this favor has to be repaid. My next suggestion is that Handan guards it." Army officers and soldiers, escort you to the gate of the palace."Xue Li proposed to all the lords.

All the lords glanced at Xue Li gratefully: "There is Lao Guowei."

"Don't dare".Xue Li was humble in a hurry, and then looked at Xue Qian: "My son, I ordered you to lead the Handan defenders to escort all the lords to the gate of the palace immediately. Then wait outside the gate and don't make any rash moves."

"Follow the father's order".Hearing the order, Xue Qian immediately ran to the soldiers of the Handan garrison who had assembled in front.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xue Li: "The king ordered the prince to reward the soldiers here, so it is better for the prince not to go."

"this?……".Zhao Yu showed a puzzled look.

Mr. Xingping understood Xue Li's meaning in an instant, and looked at Zhao Yu: "I can wait for this matter, and the prince can rest assured here."

"Okay, just according to my uncle's words."Zhao Yu thought about it, then nodded and saluted Mr. Xingping.

Lord Xingping felt that the time was running out and he didn't say much here. He looked at all the lords and said, "Enter the palace".

As soon as the words fell, the emperor swung his whip.All the lords galloped towards the palace under the protection of their own soldiers and horses and the Handan defenders.

……

In the palace, the carriage stopped outside a large hall.Hundreds of soldiers stood on both sides of the steps, and their sabers were particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army looked solemn, as if a boundless killing intent was about to spread.

The door of the carriage was opened, the queen and Zhao Wuming got out of the carriage, turned a blind eye to the hundreds of imperial guards, and walked directly to the main hall.

Stepping on the steps, it seems that a huge heart is beating violently, and loud noises resound in everyone's heart one after another.

Stepping into the main hall, Zhao Zhong's face sank like water, and he looked directly at Zhao Wuming.

The killing intent spread, and the guards and soldiers standing on both sides of the palace seemed to be infected.Subconsciously, he put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and immediately unsheathed it as soon as he gave an order.

Zhao Wuming thought of the movement along the way, how could he not know that he was already wandering in the gate of hell.Then he raised his head to look at Zhao Zhong, and asked loudly without saluting, "I don't know why your majesty called me here?".

"This is a place to discuss government affairs, please come back, Queen."Zhao Zhong didn't reply, but instead looked at the queen standing beside Zhao Wuming.

Now that things have come to this, how can they return easily.The queen bowed to Zhao Zhong: "Your Majesty...".

"This is the place where the government is discussed. Women are not allowed to enter. Pass the will of the widow and invite the queen out."Without waiting for the queen to speak, Zhao Zhong immediately issued an order to the officers and soldiers of the imperial army standing on both sides.

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army bowed and said, "Observe the order."

"I dare".The queen was furious when she saw several soldiers of the imperial army approaching without any explanation, but these imperial soldiers were not afraid.Drag the queen directly outside the palace.Then the door was slammed shut.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuming was furious, and asked Zhao Zhong: "Where does the king put the queen for what he has done?".

"Queen? Dare to ruin the widow's business. The widow will punish you as a rebellious son first, and there is nothing wrong with abolishing the queen."Thinking of what the queen has done today, Zhao Zhong almost roared.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the left and right sides of the hall couldn't help pulling out their swords by an inch.

How could Zhao Wuming, who has experienced the battlefield, be intimidated by this momentum? It seems that he was too naive before, thinking of this, he asked loudly: "Why did King Zhao spend so much time to put himself to death?".

"Why should I tell you, after you die. Go under the Nine Springs and ask Mr. Anyang face to face, and everything will be clear. Why bother to waste time talking here."When Zhao Zhong mentioned the word Anyang Jun, his killing intent became stronger.

Seeing that Zhao Zhong had no intention of explaining, Zhao Wuming questioned the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "If the tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, why does the King of Zhao treat Gu as an enemy. Let Gu live for ten years, and life would be worse than death."

"Is life better than death?".Zhao Zhong repeated in a low voice, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, after all, the person in front of him was his own son.But when he thought of Lord Anyang and the Gong clan, he immediately had a great killing intent: "Is the life of a mere son comparable to the country in the hands of the widow?".

As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Wuming didn't wait for him to speak.As if thinking of something, Zhao Zhong was suddenly furious, and yelled at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard in the palace: "I will punish this traitor."

"Follow the order".Suddenly the sound of drawing a sword sounded, but at this moment the door was kicked open heavily.A large number of soldiers poured into the hall, and at the same time, the sound of swords and soldiers outside the hall also came in.

A pair of swords were clamped around the necks of the soldiers of the imperial army, and countless soldiers in red clothes and red armor surrounded a dozen or so lords and walked aggressively.

Zhao Zhong's heart trembled suddenly, and he looked at those lords in disbelief: "You, you...".

"Your Majesty would like to ask, why did we break through the defenses of the Imperial Army and come here?"Lord Xingping's voice resounded through the hall.

The sound of swords and soldiers outside the palace stopped abruptly, and the imperial guards in the palace and the soldiers of the public clan confronted each other.

Zhao Zhong's lips moved, but he couldn't say a word for a while.

Dozens of Fengjun's faces were ashen, and they looked directly at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong felt like falling into an ice cave in an instant. The scene of going to Anyang Jun's big tent to secretly kill Anyang Jun in the past is very similar to this scene.It's just that after he killed Mr. Anyang, he was surrounded by those who heard the news.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhong, do you still want to replay the scene from the past?"A Fengjun couldn't help but questioned loudly.

The rest of the Fengjun couldn't help it, and looked at Mr. Xingping in an instant, and their anger gradually spread: "Mr. Xingping, is this the promise you made in the tent of Mr. Anyang? If it wasn't for you, he Zhao Zhong How can I survive to this day."

"Your Majesty, please give this veteran an explanation."Mr. Xingping was very annoyed when he heard these doubts.Looking at Zhao Zhong, he pressed him for questions.

Zhao Zhong looked around at these lords, and shouted at them: "I have a clear conscience, I am a king, why do I need to explain?"

"Since you, Zhao Zhong, don't care about the country of Zhao, why should we protect the territory as a branch? If you want to kill the fourth son, we will die here. Today I want to see, but there is another one The first Lord Xingping saved your life, but there is another Lord Anyang who will save Zhao Guo."As soon as the words fell, all the lords stepped forward together.

"You, you..."Seeing them being aggressive, Zhao Zhong was so angry that he passed out immediately.
