Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 223 Xue Li's Strategy

Zhao Wuming took Xue Li, Gao Zhao and others to wander aimlessly in the street for a while, and then found a remote corner.Looking at Xue Li, I couldn't help but ask him: "Guo Wei, why don't you let us go back immediately after we secretly inquire about the news, but tell them in a fair and honest manner."

"What can we do after we go back? Do we dare to take people directly? If we take people, who should we take?"Xue Li asked Zhao Wuming a series of rhetorical questions.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while, and shook his head while sleeping: "Whether it's Zhongshan Xiangguo Music Pool, Gongsun Yang, or Shen Chuan, we can't easily arrest them at this time."

"Since it can't be captured, how can we find evidence?"Xue Li continued to question Zhao Wuming.

Gao Zhao seemed to understand something while listening, and replied to Xue Li: "So the Guowei decided to startle the snake?".

"As long as they have a guilty conscience, they will definitely withdraw from Handan immediately. At that time, the old minister took the information of their entry and exit, and it was not difficult to persuade Zhao Zhen."Xue Li slowly explained the reason to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming thought about it for a while, as if he had thought of something, with a worried look on his face: "Is it still a little pale based on these alone?"

"It is indeed a little pale for us to convince the public, but Zhao Zhen's presentation is enough to convince the public."When Xue Li said this, his tone was firm.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback, and repeated in a low voice: "Zhao Zhen?".

"Zhao Zhen has a personal enmity with Mr. Dai Yun, but he has to express his neutrality because of the interests of the public. We just need to give him an excuse not to worry about him not falling for the king. Even if this excuse is a little pale, but What does that matter?".Xue Qian analyzed Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming thought about it following Xue Li's analysis: "Guo Wei's words are reasonable, but I don't know what to do next."

"After returning to the mansion, the veteran will let the Handan defenders collect the news of these three people leaving the city. As for how to inform the king of this, I will trouble the fourth son of the king."Xue Li thought for a while, and immediately proposed to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded and immediately agreed to the matter: "Gu will go to the palace now, after the Guowei collects the information, please wait in the mansion for the elder brother to call."

"Farewell".Xue Li smiled a little, thinking that there was nothing wrong with this place, and immediately asked Zhao Wuming to resign, after all, this matter should be done sooner rather than later.

Seeing Xue Li walking away, Zhao Wuming looked at Gao Zhao.

Gao Zhao smiled shyly and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "Since the fourth son of King Cheng is going to the palace, it's inconvenient for the lower officials to stay longer, so I bid farewell."

"If Gao Zhao has free time, he can come to the mansion from time to time."Seeing that Gao Zhao was leaving, Zhao Wuming thought about the childhood experience he told about in the restaurant, and thought about extending an invitation to him.

Gao Zhao was overjoyed, and bowed again to Zhao Wuming: "Thank you for the kindness of the fourth son of King Cheng, if you have time, you will definitely visit."

Zhao Wuming just smiled and didn't say a word. Seeing this, Gao Zhao knew that the upcoming matter was important.So instead of wasting Zhao Wuming's time, he went directly to the direction of his mansion.

Sun Buer watched both of them leave, and asked Zhao Wuming: "My lord is going to the palace at this time?".

"Well, go to the palace."Zhao Wuming replied without thinking, and then took Sun Buer to the direction of the palace.

……

In the palace, Huang Hao was instructing the servants in the palace to clean the palace, when he saw Zhao Wuming approaching, he quickly went up to greet him and saluted respectfully: "I have met the fourth son of King Cheng."

"Where's Big Brother? He's not in this hall?"Zhao Wuming looked at Huang Hao suspiciously, and asked him.

Huang Hao replied to Zhao Wuming without hesitation: "Just now the king went to the harem to greet the queen mother."

"Mother Queen".Zhao Wuming didn't say much when he heard the reply, and walked directly towards the harem.

The people in the palace didn't hinder them when they saw this, and they were doing their own things.

The footsteps galloped to the queen mother's palace, and there was laughter before people entered.Zhao Wuming walked inside without thinking too much.Seeing Zhao Yu sitting respectfully on the upper right of the queen mother in the main hall, he couldn't help but smile: "See the queen mother."

"It turns out that Wuming is here, sit down."The queen mother saw that it was Zhao Wuming when she heard the voice, and she also showed a smile on her face.

Upon hearing the order, Zhao Wuming went to the upper left and took a seat and asked Zhao Yu and the queen mother, "I heard laughter just before I entered this hall. I don't know what funny things the queen mother and elder brother are talking about."

"Now that you are not young, the Ai family was just discussing with the king whether they should find a woman for you to marry you."The more the Empress Dowager spoke, the stronger the smile on her face.

Zhao Wuming couldn't help being taken aback, unexpectedly they were talking about this matter: "Then I don't know which girl my mother fell in love with."

"What do you mean by falling in love with a girl from another family? When your elder brother was your age, Yong'er had already been born a few years ago, so you are as stubborn as a cow."Thinking of this matter, the queen mother scolded Zhao Wuming for a while.

Not to mention that since Zhao Zhong passed away, every time Zhao Wuming came here, he would inevitably be reprimanded by the Queen Mother, so there were fewer people coming and going.

Seeing that Zhao Wuming was silent, Zhao Yu tried to smooth things over with him: "It's not like the mother doesn't know what my fourth brother wants."

"That girl Yan'er, regardless of her appearance or temperament, is indeed rare in the world. It's just that she is far away in the country of Yan. Whether you want to wait for her to be engaged to the crown prince of the country of Yan after the expiration of her mourning period, you can't just stay like this forever. Let’s wait. Could it be that I, a big Zhao country, can’t find someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yan’er? With your current status, there is no woman from any family that you can’t marry.”The queen mother asked Zhao Wuming a series of questions.

Although these words are long-winded, there is no trace of warmth in them.Zhao Wuming thought for a while, and turned to the queen mother: "Now the domestic situation is not stable, and I don't want to let her down. So after the situation stabilizes, it's not too late to talk about this matter."

"shirk?".The queen mother saw through what Zhao Wuming said at a glance, and exposed it mercilessly.

Zhao Wuming was dumbfounded, he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only look at Zhao Yu as if asking for help.

Zhao Yu smiled at Zhao Wuming and asked, "Fourth brother, you know why you were hesitant about Lin Wu's request for our country to send troops at the banquet last night."

"Please tell me, brother."Zhao Wuming was puzzled, but it was good to change the subject.

Zhao Yu explained to Zhao Wuming: "The fourth brother has done so much for the widow, and the widow is not a hard-hearted person. The widow wants to give the fourth brother a land to show his gratitude, but the fourth brother refuses to accept it. In desperation, the widow Just thinking, if the situation can calm down one day, the widow must let the fourth brother lead the widow's army, put pressure on King Yan, and ask Yan Wang to send Yun Yan back. Let you love people stay together."

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I want to solve this matter by myself."Hearing these words, Zhao Wuming was very moved.It seems that everything that was done before was worthwhile because of one person's selfish feelings that moved the swordsmanship of a country.
