Hearing the complaints from all his subordinates, Zhao Jundu finally said: "Okay, it's useless to talk too much. After all, a general in the military department died in my hands. They have to show something, otherwise how can they convince the people?"
A general said: "Oh! If the Fourth Young Master had been more ruthless and killed all those guys, wouldn't it be fine?"
Zhao Jundu smiled faintly, and said: "In troubled times, it is proper to deter villains, but it would be wrong to start killing people, and it is useless to the overall situation."
Zhao Jundu had already opened his mouth, and the generals couldn't say much, one of them was still unwilling, and muttered: "Cheng Engong can't be so easy-going!"
In the core area of the Unfalling City, in a mansion owned by the Zhao Clan, Zhao Weihuang in battle armor passed through many corridors, came to a pavilion facing the water, and pushed the door in.
Princess Gaoyi sat by the window, and when she heard the door open, she didn't turn her head, but just looked at the pool of water outside the window.
Zhao Weihuang sat down opposite her, smiling a little embarrassingly.
Gao Yi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, put down the cup and looked out the window again. From the beginning to the end, she never glanced at Zhao Weihuang. Zhao Weihuang wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that there was only one teacup on the table, and he couldn't find a second cup in the room. He had no choice but to cough dryly, and took his hand back.
Gao Yi held the teacup and looked out the window, as if he could sit like this for a lifetime.
The quieter she was, the more restless Zhao Weihuang became. At this moment, how can he still look like Weizhen Xijiang? Not to mention that he was once expected to replace Lin Xitang and preside over the suppression of the rebels on the western front.
"That, hehe..." Zhao Weihuang couldn't help but speak. It's just that after the hey, Gao Yi didn't respond at all, and kept all his subsequent words in his stomach, so after the hey, there was still only hey.
Zhao Weihuang laughed dryly for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to look at Gao Yi any longer. He gave him a hard look and said, "You scoundrel!"
Zhao Weihuang immediately put on a smiling face, and saluted: "It's lucky that my wife is here this time, otherwise, I don't know what to do."
Faced with Cheng Engong's thick skin, Gao Yi was really helpless, and gave him another gouged look, Fang said: "If it wasn't for Jundu Ruoxi, do you think I would take care of this mess?"
"That is, that is!"
Gao Yi sighed softly, and said, "That kid is daring and impulsive, but he really looks like you."
Zhao Weihuang immediately looked a little embarrassed, and said, "I was just like this when I was young..."
Gao Yi snorted, and said, "However, that child Qianye is very affectionate, loyal and dedicated, which is much better than someone who doesn't know."
Zhao Weihuang was very embarrassed, he just laughed and didn't know what to say.
Gao Yi put down his teacup, and said: "This time the matter is too big, and those people are really outrageous, so I came here. But this matter is just the beginning, all I can do is to keep the emperor's family out of the matter. What about you, get ready How to do it?"
As soon as he mentioned the military and state affairs, Zhao Weihuang immediately straightened his body, with a domineering air spontaneously, and said in a deep voice: "Since those bastards in the military department want Cointreau to go to the hearing, then I will let Cointreau go. Just please It was easy for people in the past, but it is not so easy to send them back. Cointreau is not on the front line, and the defense area he is in charge of is handed over to those in the military department. I want to see how long they can support it!"
"Aren't you afraid that Cointreau will suffer in their hands?"
Zhao Weihuang laughed, and the laughter pierced through gold and cracked stone, and then said: "If they dare to touch a hair on Cointreau, I dare to beat out the egg yolk of that old thing!"
Gao Yi frowned slightly, and said angrily: "Vulgar! You are always so bold and reckless. This is a military matter!"
Zhao Weihuang sneered at first, "I didn't see those people taking military and state affairs to heart, and there were dirty things in their heads. Since they want to make trouble, then I will make it big for them! If they can, they will go to defend Cointreau's line of defense. I want to see how good they are on the battlefield! His grandma, I think I used to... "
Just when he was full of pride, Zhao Weihuang suddenly saw Princess Gaoyi's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, like a cat whose head was poured with a glass of water, his arrogance disappeared immediately, he smiled awkwardly, and said: "Well, I really did a lot back then. Don't be silly."
"Just a silly thing?" Gao Yi asked.
Zhao Weihuang suddenly felt a headache, no matter how he answered this kind of question, he would be wrong. He kept rubbing his hands, and heyed for a long time, but nothing came out.
Fortunately, Princess Gaoyi didn't intend to embarrass him too much, and calmly said: "Qianye is still very good, he saved Ruoxi back then, and now he saved Jundu, even I like him quite a lot. But this one is very good. Not bad, it refers to being a human being. I don’t think Qianye’s talent is inferior to Cointreau’s, so how can I describe it? So, I’m curious now, what kind of person is his mother, who can give birth to such a child? child."
Zhao Weihuang's face turned blue and white, he stopped even hey, he held his breath, his eyes only stared at a third of the ground in front of him, as if some rare treasure was buried there.
Gao Yi smiled lightly and said, "Ruoxi's child has been a little strange recently. As a father, you should also care about her more, and don't focus on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang all day long. If I didn't come here in time this time, I'm afraid Manshushahua will be blasted out."
Zhao Weihuang was taken aback: "Is there such a thing?"
Gao Yi sighed softly and did not speak again.
Zhao Weihuang got up immediately and said, "No, I have to go talk to that little girl!"
After all, without waiting for Gao Yi's answer, Zhao Weihuang hurried away, as if fleeing from disaster.
In the quiet room, Zhao Ruoxi sat cross-legged on the couch, her face was calm and expressionless. Manshushahua was placed in a secret room far away, and three clan elders were in charge of suppressing and guarding it. It's just that everyone now knows that this is just a formality. If Miss Zhao wants to attract Manshushahua, they can't stop it at all.
If Miss Zhao is not considering the purpose of using Manjusawa, this should be a great thing, indicating that her ability to control Manjusawa has improved again. But now everyone in the mansion is trembling with fear, fearing that the eldest lady will do something again.
Zhao Weihuang walked into the quiet room, sat in front of Zhao Ruoxi, and said, "Ruoxi, your mother and I both feel the need to talk to you."
Without raising her eyelids, Zhao Ruoxi asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Oh, this..." Zhao Weihuang started to have a headache again. He was only thinking about escaping quickly, but he forgot to ask Zhao Ruoxi what was wrong.
Zhao Ruoxi raised her head, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, she suddenly said: "Father, don't run to me to avoid the limelight just because you are afraid of being scolded by your mother."
Zhao Weihuang swayed and almost fell down. Immediately, he felt that he had lost face, so he straightened his face and reprimanded: "You are so young, what do you know! There is no problem between me and your mother, what will she teach me?"
"Is there no problem? But Brother Qianye exists!"
Zhao Weihuang almost fell down again.
He barely straightened his sitting posture, and said seriously: "Ruoxi, you look like you are not young anymore. Qianye gets along well with you, Jundu Junhong, and Yu Ying. Isn't that good? Besides, those things that happened back then It's been a long time, and it's complicated, and I can't say a word."
But Zhao Ruoxi is obviously not so easy to be fooled: "If you can't say a word clearly, then say a few more words."
At this point, Zhao Weihuang felt that he could not continue the conversation, so he snorted heavily to express his dissatisfaction, then got up and left the quiet room. After going out, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't figured out the reason for his daughter's strange behavior.
In the Unfallen City, the stronghold of the Imperial Army has been initially rebuilt, and the scale has expanded to the entire block. A large number of craftsmen and soldiers are building new buildings day and night. The trucks and various engineering vehicles transporting materials often block the nearby streets. It's too tight.
This place was originally a temporary stronghold, but now it has been suddenly expanded on a large scale, involving many aristocratic families around the left, but no one has any objections. It's just that Li Fengshui didn't stand on the stage because only a brigadier general was in charge of this place. But now it is different, the former imperial marshal has been stationed here.
In the hastily built main building, the old man who had once sniped Qianye stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth. A brigadier next to him was holding a letter and was reading it one by one. Every time he read a letter, the old man's face would turn ugly.
Although the brigadier general can be considered a strong man, as the old man's face gradually became gloomy, even his voice began to tremble. After all, even though the old man has been relieved of his position as a marshal, his strength has not faded much. Whether it was then or now, Wu Daoyu's name has once shocked one side.
Finally, the Brigadier General finished reading the contents of the letter, Wu Daoyu stopped and said calmly, "It's over?"
"It's all over."
Wu Daoyu suddenly sneered, and said: "Call the people from the Zhao clan in, I want to ask, why do they dare to raise such conditions to me!"
The brigadier general flew away, and after a while, a brigadier general came in. The Brigadier General looked like he was in his early thirties, with a capable and resolute face. After entering the door, he gave a military salute to Wu Daoyu, and then stood upright like a gun, waiting for Wu Daoyu to ask questions.
Wu Daoyu's eyes fell on the mark of the Besmog Corps on the brigadier general's uniform, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "It is said that Cheng Engong is good at leading troops, and there are many talents in the Beacon Corps. Now it seems that this statement is not true. What is your name? what name?"
The Brigadier General of the Zhao Clan bowed slightly, and said sonorously, "The humble Zhao Chengyi."
Wu Daoyu narrowed his eyes imperceptibly again, and asked, "Your surname is Zhao? Which prefecture are you from?"
"The humble position is currently listed in the Youguo Duke's Mansion, but it is actually a branch of the Zhao Clan, not a direct descendant."
A gloomy face flashed across Wu Daoyu's face, and he said: "I am in the Youguo Mansion, and I also serve in the Wolf Smoke Army, um, good, very good. I heard that Cheng Engong has also arrived in the city of unfallen, did he send you here?" ?”
Zhao Chengyi said: "The humble post came by the order of You Country, and it must have been clearly written in the letter."
Wu Daoyu's face darkened, and the aura as deep as the deep sea was released, and the two brigadier generals were pale and crumbling with just the aura. Then he said: "This seat is just strange. With You Guogong's foresight and foresight, how could he propose such ridiculous conditions. Could it be that some villains below are playing tricks?"
Is it easy to bear the coercion of the god general? Zhao Chengyi's legs clucked, and he was about to be crushed to his knees.
However, his eyes were wide open, bloodshot from the corners of his eyes, and he still refused to kneel. Although he couldn't even speak, Zhao Chengyi stared at Wu Daoyu with a sneer on his face, the mockery in his eyes was undisguised.
The corners of Wu Daoyu's eyes twitched. Seeing that if he tried to press again, Zhao Chengyi would be seriously injured on the spot, and he might even die from his injuries. He couldn't really hurt Zhao Chengyi, that would immediately anger the Zhao Clan. Neither Duke You nor Duke Cheng'en are good people.
As soon as Wu Daoyu thought about it, he withdrew his momentum. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengyi let out a long laugh, and said loudly: "Forgive me, you don't dare to hurt me here!"
