Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 6
The sound of heavy footsteps came, and Zhao Wuming galloped along with his personal guards in a chariot.A dozen guards in front of the Duwei's mansion hurriedly walked down the steps to stop them: "Who is the one who is coming...".

"My son is Zhao Wuming, the fourth son of King Zhao. He was invited to the banquet. Don't you dare to stop me?"Zhao Wuming took Sun Buer and Qing Que down from the chariot, his brows were slightly displeased.

Sensing Zhao Wuming's unhappiness, the guards behind hurried over and stood in a line behind Zhao Wuming.The gatekeeper's heart was shocked, and he felt a little cold: "Fourth...fourth son, when will the king still have a fourth son?"

"Bold... Fourth Young Master, you are so disrespectful in front of your face."Thinking of the misery of these years, Qingque looked at the guards behind her and became more courageous and yelled at the guards in front of the door.

As soon as Qingque finished speaking, the guards pointed their spears at the gate guards.The guard subconsciously took a few steps back in horror, and carefully looked at the group of people in front of him.Seeing the guards wearing heavy armor and Zhao Wuming wearing brocade robes, he felt a little bitter, how could such a formation be ordinary people.Could it be that the king really has a fourth son, but why don't he and his brothers know about it.

The sound came from behind the door, and a middle-aged man in armor came over, saluted Zhao Wuming respectfully, his eyes were full of doubts: "The villain is the head of the guard of the Duwei Mansion, if the guards in the mansion are rude, why don't you?" Please Fourth Young Master Haihan. It’s just that the villain has a doubt in his heart. I wonder if Fourth Young Master can answer it for us.”

"Please say……".Seeing that the person in front of him was respectful and polite, Zhao Wuming didn't make things too difficult, then his brows loosened and his expression gradually eased.

The chief guard pondered, how to ask so as not to offend the fourth young master in front of him, before he even asked, he bowed again: "The villain's question may touch the young master's sad matter, so I will make an apology in advance, and please young master Haihan As far as the villain knows, ten years ago, the son was young, and he made a mistake that angered the king. Since then, he was driven out of Handan and lived outside the city of Handan. His life was very miserable. But watch today, son. The soldiers accompanying them are majestic and majestic, but they don't look miserable at all."

"This son is the fourth son of the great king, do you know the meaning of these words."Zhao Wuming looked directly at the chief guard with an aggressive gaze.Unexpectedly, this person dared to doubt, and felt a little unhappy. Isn't the fourth son of the king the best explanation? .

The chief guard quickly came to his senses, even if the person in front of him was the king's flesh and blood, he was at fault.After all, ten years have passed, and the king will inevitably regret it in his heart: "The villain made a slip of the tongue, please don't blame me, my lord."

"Since you've finished asking, I don't know if I can go in now, my lord."Zhao Wuming's eyes gradually became less sharp, but there was an unstoppable charm in his tone.

The chief guard bowed and then pointed inside, his tone becoming more respectful: "Young master is a nobleman, my master can't even ask for it, so how dare we stop it. It's just that the mansion is small, and it might be inconvenient for these soldiers and chariots to enter. ".

"It doesn't matter... You can take the chariot aside and wait for me."Zhao Wuming gave instructions to the ten cronies behind him, and turned to look at the chief guard.

"promise".Ten personal guards took orders one after another, and walked aside with the chariot, looking for a shaded place to wait.

The chief guard waved his hand, and the guards in front of the door parted to make way: "Fourth son, please come in...".

"Slow down".Just when Zhao Wuming was about to walk in, a group of people came slowly, and one of them stopped quickly.

Zhao Wuming stopped when he heard the sound, and looked in the direction of the sound.His brows gradually frowned, and for some unknown reason, nameless anger slowly burned in his heart.

When the guards in front of the door saw the man approaching, they all bowed and saluted: "Young man, I have seen Mr. Xuan."

"Qingque has seen Young Master Xuan".Qingque also hurriedly saluted, for fear of bringing trouble to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Wuming, disgusted in his heart but with a hypocritical smile on his face: "Isn't this my fourth brother who lives outside the city? I haven't seen you for ten years. I didn't expect you to be so old. You are almost two years old. I don't know you anymore."

"Thanks to the blessings of my second brother, Wuming has been doing well these years."Hearing his tone, Zhao Wuming was a little unhappy, thinking that he was his second brother after all, so he still respectfully saluted Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Yu nodded in satisfaction, as if lost in thought.Long Jiu seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be speaking to the people around him: "It's strange that I didn't seem to have heard Captain Xue mention the matter of inviting the fourth brother to the banquet. But why did the fourth brother come again today? As an older brother, seeing a younger brother whom he hasn’t seen in ten years, but without a present is really a little rude.”

As soon as the words came out, those people wearing brocade robes around Zhao Yu peeped at each other.Immediately after the discussion, a voice of agreement sounded.

"Strange? I don't seem to have heard Xue Qian mention the matter of inviting the Fourth Young Master."

"The fourth son lives outside Handan City all year round. If Xue Qian invites him, I don't think he won't let out a little bit of information."

"Do you still remember that ten years ago, the king issued a ban, forbidding the fourth son to step into the city. But today? How did the fourth son enter the city?"

"Maybe our eyes and ears are closed, or maybe we have forgotten all these years. It is possible that the king has lifted this ban, but we don't know it."

"No, no, if such a big event really happened, would you forget it?".

"Could it be that the fourth son entered the city privately?"

"Your Majesty is far away at the junction of Yan and Zhao at this time, and will make an alliance with the King of Yan. If Your Majesty misses Fourth Young Master and sends a decree to lift the prohibition of Fourth Young Master during the meeting, it is understandable for us not to know. After all, the four The young master has lived outside the city for ten years, so he is not so familiar with us."

"Did Xue Qian hear something? That's why he invited the Fourth Young Master to the banquet."

"I don't know if it was an invitation, but with Xue Qian's personality, even if he heard something, he wouldn't hide anything about such a thing."

"I don't know if you can clear up our doubts, Mr. Xuan. Has your majesty lifted the ban on the fourth son?"

Zhao Yu shook his head on purpose, and looked at Zhao Wuming with deep meaning: "I don't know about this, my father is far away at the junction of Yan and Zhao to make an alliance with the king of Yan. Even if there is any purpose, it should be supervised by the state." The prince took over. I think the prince should know this matter best."

"Young Master Xuan, why are you so aggressive, you must know that these years..."Qing Que listened to these arguments, pointed at Zhao Wuming, feeling very upset.Thinking of what happened back then, I couldn't suppress my anger anymore, so I simply confronted him directly.

Zhao Yu glanced at Qing Que coldly, with an unhappy expression on his face: "A mere servant, how dare you interrupt? It seems that my fourth brother is still too kind to you, so much so that I forget the dignity" .

"Since the second brother knows that Qingque is my servant, why did he say such a thing?"Listening to these voices of discussion, pictures suddenly appeared in Zhao Wuming's mind.Ten years ago, Zhao Yu used his innocence to make mistakes in the ancestor worship ceremony, which made his father furious.Deprive him of the fief that will be given to him, and donate it to Zhao Yu.And he was also kicked out of the city by his furious father, leaving him to fend for himself.

Looking at Zhao Wuming in front of him, Zhao Yu couldn't help being taken aback, is this still the soft and cowardly fourth brother in his memory?It seems that the ten years of loneliness outside the city has made him grow a lot: "How dare you be a brother, even if you are a brother and the second son of Zhao. You can't go past the fourth brother and punish your servants. Just now, it was just a slip of the tongue for your brother." , so I’m sorry to accompany you, and please forgive me, my fourth brother.”

"Second Young Master is so polite, I really admire him."

"If I was contradicted by my younger brother's servants like this, I would have been so polite, I would have ordered a heavy punishment."

"Otherwise, why are all the ladies in Handan City looking forward to the second son, but not to you?".

"Under such insults, you can still remember the laws of the country. Strict self-discipline can be a model for my generation."

"I often hear people say that I am the second son of Zhao in Handan City. I have a reputation for being kind and courteous to the people. It seems that this statement is true."

A piece of flattery came, and the smile on Zhao Yu's face became wider and wider.Buying people's hearts with this kind of behavior is really good: "The fourth brother is a brother, can you explain the doubts just now?".

"I don't know what kind of doubts my brother said."Looking at the smiling Zhao Yu, Zhao Wuming only felt sick for a while, and asked back pretending not to know.

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face became even thicker: "Brother Wei was wrong, brother shouldn't ask such nonsensical words. Fourth brother, can you tell brother, whether the father has lifted you? The ban on entering the city".

"Since the second brother asked this sentence, could it be that the father authorized you to manage this matter with full authority?".Zhao Wuming deliberately pretended to be puzzled, but his tone was not polite at all.

Zhao Yu was at a loss for words, he hadn't seen him for ten years. It seems that this good fourth brother not only did not feel depressed, but became more sharp-tongued: "As an elder brother, do you need the authorization from your father to take care of your own younger brother? Fourth brother, we They are blood relatives after all."

"This well-known word of blood relatives, my younger brother understands. Since this is a word of concern from the elder brother, that means. The younger brother can say it or not, I don't know if it is right."Seeing Zhao Xuan's hypocritical appearance, Zhao Wuming sneered in his heart, he was not the weak and incompetent him before.Since he is the enemy, why should he show a cowardly look.

Zhao Wei glanced around and let out a chuckle, and at the same time sneered in his heart, like a well-known blood relative: "Brother, I heard that you have suffered miserably in the past ten years. Now it seems that the rumors are wrong. Brother, in my heart It’s also safe.”

"Second brother is not the crown prince, so how could he pay attention to all aspects of my big Zhao's affairs. So I should not know the real situation of my younger brother."Everyone looked at Zhao Wuming who contradicted Zhao Wei, and shook their heads in their hearts.Sure enough, he was a child who hadn't grown up yet, and he vented his grievances regardless of the occasion.Such a naive move can only make people laugh for no reason.

Prince?Zhao Yu's hands clenched into fists unconsciously.If it wasn't for that person's fate and being born before him, how could he be the prince.Thinking of this, Wuxin was talking to Zhao Wuming, and smiled meaningfully at the people around him: "Fourth brother, I heard that this person needs an invitation card before he can enter other people's residences. We royal sons, we must not lose our etiquette. That's all." , Brother Wei still wanted to chat with Xue Qian about something, so he went in first."

Zhao Yu didn't wait for Zhao Wuming to reply, and led a group of people directly inside.
