Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 47
The door of the prison was shut heavily, and the jailer walked back slowly.Zhao Wuming showed a wry smile, he forgot after all the calculations, this is the ancient era when kingship ruled.Gathering troops outside the city privately is a capital offense.

I found a place to sit down, looking at the empty prison, thinking about messy things bored.

A jailer walked towards the cell next to Zhao Wuming with a food box. Several plates of side dishes, a bowl of rice, and a jug of wine were handed in. Then he picked up the food box and turned back.

The middle-aged man, who was about to have a good meal, felt that someone was watching him, so he followed that gaze and frowned slightly: "Are you hungry?".

"kindness".Zhao Wuming replied subconsciously, completely not understanding why.

The middle-aged man brought the food and wine to Zhao Wuming, and passed a bowl of rice through the gap: "Eat, anyway, I'm not hungry, as long as there is wine and food. Seeing that you are not very old, what happened to you and you were arrested?" Arrived here".

"The king of Zhao said that I gathered troops outside the city to seek rebellion. Tomorrow, the court will enumerate my crimes, and at noon I will be executed in the palace."Zhao Wuming picked up the rice and ate it directly.It seemed that he was talking about something irrelevant, and there was no fear in his tone.

The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Wuming's plain tone: "Are you gathering troops outside the city? Tomorrow you will be killed. Not only are you not afraid, but you are so calm, I admire, admire."

"Did I hear that this is a death row? Since you are here, what crime have you committed?"Zhao Wuming looked at the middle-aged man, and suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.

The middle-aged man held the wine and rubbed his chin as if thinking about what crime he had committed: "Actually, I don't know, that old guy Zhao Wang has a small mind, so let me go to prison and take revenge."

"Revenge? That's right, King Zhao is not only small-minded, but even more courageous."Zhao Wuming suddenly had the feeling of finding a bosom friend.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he hurriedly put one dish on another, picked up the wine and poured it on the empty plate and handed it to Zhao Wuming through the gap: "Based on your words, I want to buy you a drink too."

"Please".Zhao Wuming didn't delay, picked up the bowl of wine and drank it: "How do I feel about this wine, it's not strong at all."

"Lie? This is the fine wine I brought from the palace of Yan Kingdom."The middle-aged man cast a stern glance at Zhao Wuming, he probably doesn't know how to drink wine.

Zhao Wuming put the bowl of wine in his hand on the ground, and smiled at the middle-aged man: "To be honest, I actually don't know how to taste wine."

"Just now I heard you say that King Zhao accused you of gathering an army for rebellion without permission. I know I still wink, but I don't seem to have seen you."The middle-aged man talked and recalled, after thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand Zhao Wuming's identity.There are not many people in Handan City who can gather an army privately.

Zhao Wuming looked the middle-aged man up and down: "Don't know him? Handan City is so big, how did you know him?"

"There are many people in Handan City, but very few people can mobilize the army. It is impossible for me not to know such a few people."The middle-aged man heard the meaning of Zhao Wuming's words, watched carefully for a while and still shook his head, without any reflection on the person in front of him.

Zhao Wuming didn't hide anything, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The unknown man, Zhao Wuming".

"The fourth son of Zhao Guo who is down and out outside the city of Handan?".The middle-aged man never imagined that he was able to look at Zhao Wuming here, his eyes were full of surprise.

Zhao Wuming passed the empty bowl to the middle-aged man through the gap: "You are surprised by your tone?".

"If you say that the crown prince Zhao Yu, the second son Zhao Yu, and the third son Zhao Fan gathered troops outside the city, I can still believe it. But you, the fourth son, are miserable and helpless. I am afraid that you have not Such great strength."The middle-aged man took the empty bowl and shook his head quickly, completely disbelieving about this matter.

Zhao Wuming didn't want to explain too much, and looked around the prison: "If you get all the stolen goods, what is there to say, after chatting for so long, do you want to tell me who you are?"

"Yun Miao, deputy envoy of Yan State".Yun Miao didn't hide when she heard the question, and said her name openly.

Zhao Wuming was slightly taken aback, borrowing Yun's name for so long, could it be that Li Kui met Li Gui: "Yuyang Yun's? Deputy envoy of Yan State".

"Exactly".Yun Miao looked at Zhao Wuming in front of him with more interest, and stroked his beard with his hand as if thinking about something.

Zhao Wuming looked at Yun Miao, subconsciously asked: "Is she okay?".

"Who? Are you talking about Yan'er?"A smile appeared on the corner of Yun Miao's mouth, it seems that he is not a heartless person.

Zhao Wuming felt that the question just now was a bit strange, but the words had already been spoken and he could only continue to ask: "Well, thanks to your Yun family's care...".

"The fourth son may be mistaken. I, the Yun family, have never taken special care of you. When I first entered Handan, I heard people talking about it. It is said that I, the Yuyang Yun family, gave the fourth son ten guards and a chariot as a gift. , let you show off your skills during the banquet and hunting in the Xue residence. But as far as I know, I, the Yun family, have not presented you with chariots and guards."Before Zhao Wuming finished speaking, Yun Miao stood up and asked immediately.

Being questioned by the master, Zhao Wuming looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, these chariots and those guards."

"My lord, there is no need to explain the chariots, guards, and those troops. I, Yun, just want to prove to the world that we did not do these things. As for where they came from, we don't want to participate and we don't even want to know."Yun Miao quickly waved her hands, it's better not to know some things.

Zhao Wuming saluted Yun Miao at a loss for words: "Don't worry, Wuming will take care of these things and will not cause trouble to you Yuyang Yun."

"Also, Yan'er's mother passed away suddenly. After three years of filial piety, she will be engaged to our prince of Yan. The Patriarch wants me to tell you not to disturb her life from now on."Yun Miao pondered for a while, her face gradually became serious.

Zhao Wuming saluted respectfully: "Wuming understands, I won't cause you Yuyang Yun family any trouble."

"Well, the official business has been finished, let's move on to the private matter."Yun Miao smiled at Zhao Wuming, and the seriousness just now became invisible in an instant.

Seeing Yun Miao change so quickly, Zhao Wuming couldn't react: "Private matter?".

"That girl Yunyan asked me to visit you, you and her?..."Yun Miao sat down and gave Zhao Wuming a meaningful look.

Zhao Wuming also sat down, shaking his head subconsciously: "No".

"Nothing? I can see that she cares about you very much. At the same time, the first sentence you asked me just now was whether she is doing well. Let me tell you, you don't need to pay attention to the Patriarch's order. What do you really want to do? Just do it quickly. Remember that you only have three years, and after three years, that girl Yunyan will really have nothing to do with you."Yun Miao turned to Zhao Wuming, half joking and half pointing out.

Feeling Yun Miao's kindness, Zhao Wuming immediately changed the topic: "Guess why I am so confident about the current situation."

"A person who can create an army out of nothing should not be a simple character. Since it is not simple, it is indeed a bit abnormal for you to be imprisoned here so easily."Yun Miao was obviously attracted by this topic, and by the way Zhao Wuming's words continued to think carefully.

Zhao Wuming showed a hint of a smile, and pointed out of the prison: "Because of Wei Guo".

"Wei State? The king of Zhao was arrogant and arrogant to build a high platform, and the five countries jointly questioned the king of Zhao, but Wei State was the only one who did nothing? Could there be any changes in this? No, Fei and Pingyang of Wei State are very close to Handan , Could it be that they want to... ".Yun Miao seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhao Wuming in disbelief, hoping to get an answer.

Zhao Wuming said casually in the ground: "The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han originally belonged to the Jin Kingdom. Since the division of the Jin Kingdom, the three kingdoms have competed for each other, and the forces are intertwined. When King Wei ascended the throne, he was almost defeated by our Zhao Kingdom Join hands with South Korea to destroy the country, do you think King Wei will forget that crisis?".

"It seems that the State of Wei did not send an envoy to accuse the King of Zhao. It is estimated that he took this opportunity to surprise Handan and destroy the State of Zhao."Yun Miao took a deep breath as she thought about the intricate relationship between the Wei State and the Three Kingdoms, which had worked hard for governance over the years.

Zhao Wuming just smiled and didn't explain, just now he thought about running away on the road.However, when he subconsciously opened the order to move the city, he was reminded that Handan was already in a battlefield state and therefore failed, so he was relieved.
