Wu Daoyu was furious, his aura slowly rose, and he said: "You are a little brigadier general, how dare you be arrogant in front of me?"
Zhao Chengyi was unmoved at all, and said: "I am indeed only a brigadier general, but now I still have an identity, the envoy of the Zhao Clan! When did the military become so domineering, and they could shout at the envoys of the Zhao Clan before they even spoke?" killed?"
Wu Daoyu raised his brows upside down, and his anger grew even stronger. But what Zhao Chengyi said was right, injuring a brigadier general of the Zhao Clan was completely different from injuring an envoy of the Zhao Clan.
The brigadier general of the military department was very clever. Seeing that Wu Daoyu was unable to get off the tiger, he quickly smoothed things over and said: "There is something to say, and there is something to say! In this matter, after all, people in our military department have suffered heavy casualties, and Wu Shuai's anger is justified. But General Zhao After all, he is the envoy of the Zhao Clan, and now represents the Zhao Clan, so we should first listen to what General Zhao has to say, and figure out what the Zhao Clan means."
Wu Daoyu snorted, shook the letter, and said, "Is there no one left in your Zhao family? Please ask Mr. Zhao to come to the hearing, and you have to hold this line of defense for you?"
Zhao Chengyi ignored the sarcasm in Wu Daoyu's words, and said solemnly: "General Jundu is known as the number one genius in the empire, so he is unique, who can replace him?"
Wu Daoyu was stunned and wanted to refute it, but he didn't know where to start. Zhao Jundu's reputation as the number one genius is already recognized, even if some people disagree, there is really no one in the same generation who can match him. Originally, Qianye still had some hope, but now that he has revealed his identity as a blood clan and escaped from the Unfallable City, naturally he will not be mentioned again.
Wu Daoyu stopped mentioning this matter, and said again: "Then what is the meaning of this article? If you want Jundu to come to hear it, you have to go to the Zhao Clan to discuss it in person?"
Zhao Chengyi said loudly: "What is the identity of the Fourth Young Master? He is unparalleled in talent and has the blood of the imperial family. How can he just talk about the hearing? It is not something that can be decided by just anyone. Currently, in the city of Immortals , the Zhao Clan respects Duke You, and if they want to hear Mr. Jundu, Duke You must nod."
Speaking of this, Zhao Chengyi sneered, and said: "With Wu Shuai's status, if you want to see Duke You, you'd better go and meet him."
Wu Daoyu was furious again, and said in a cold voice: "This commander is representing the military department at this moment! Could it be that he is not as good as a Duke You?"
Zhao Chengyi sneered again: "Can you represent the military department? Hehe! Calling you Marshal Wu is respect. The last general has never heard of any former marshal who can represent the military department."
Wu Daoyu's face was livid, the corners of his eyes twitched, and murderous intent overflowed.
Zhao Chengyi didn't care about him, and said to himself: "The empire has its own hierarchy, order and etiquette. If you don't go to visit Duke You, why should Duke You come to visit you? If the memory of the general is correct, you Discussing with Duke You, the result doesn't seem to be very good, does it?"
Wu Daoyu's face was even more ugly, Zhao Chengyi somewhat saved him some face. The result of that quarrel back then was not only not very good, it was a fiasco at all. When the scar was exposed, his mood would naturally not be any better.
Wu Daoyu pressed down in embarrassment, and said slowly: "The Zhao Clan is now headed by You Guogong? Why did I hear that Cheng Engong has also arrived?"
Zhao Chengyi said: "You want to have a fight with Cheng Engong? But Cheng Engong is stationed in the western border, and he has a great responsibility, so he is only here for a few days. Besides, Princess Gaoyi has also arrived. I wonder if Wu Shuai also wants to see him?"
Wu Daoyu's complexion changed, and he finally said: "Since Cheng Engong is busy with everything, I won't bother you. Tomorrow morning, I will go to see You Guogong."
Zhao Chengyi bowed and said: "It's best, then I will retire."
After Zhao Chengyi left, Wu Daoyu said: "Go and ask Rong Hou to come over."
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a graceful bearing and a few wisps of thin beard walked in. When he met him, he cupped his hands and smiled, "Why did Shuai Wu suddenly think of me?"
Wu Daoyu put on a smile on his face, went to hold onto his hand, and said, "I want to ask Marquis Rong about something, what's the emperor's move about this matter?"
The middle-aged man's smile became a little unpredictable, and he smiled without saying a word.
Wu Daoyu winked, and the brigadier general immediately presented him with a palm-sized box. The middle-aged man opened it and saw that there was a finger-sized gemstone inside, which was crystal clear without any impurities. He was filled with joy, and his smile immediately became more enthusiastic, and he said, "Oh, how can you be so embarrassed?"
He said he was embarrassed, but the things were collected quickly. After putting the box in his pocket, the middle-aged man said: "I am just a small role in the imperial family, and I have to obey the orders of the higher-ups. But this Once, there is indeed some news related to this matter."
"What news?" Wu Daoyu inexplicably felt something was wrong.
"The meaning of the princes is that they will not intervene in this matter for the time being."
This news came out of nowhere, and immediately surprised Wu Daoyu, saying: "How could this happen!"
The middle-aged man sighed, and said: "I didn't understand at first, so I asked too much. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with those princes, and I often walk around to say hello on weekdays, so I got a little Insider."
"Marquis Rong, please speak."
The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "Qianye is Qianye, Zhao Jundu is Zhao Jundu. Does Wu Shuai understand?"
Wu Daoyu frowned and said: "But these are two things, that Qianye is obviously a blood race."
The middle-aged man sighed, and said: "These are two things, but also one thing. No matter what you do to hunt down the blood race, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you want to move Zhao Jundu, that's another matter, and it's a big deal! Now that Princess Gaoyi has come forward, the lords can't say anything, they can only stay out of the matter. Well, that's all I can say, goodbye!"
After the middle-aged man left, Wu Daoyu's face darkened, and he said bitterly: "Well, you Zhao Jundu, it seems that you have already thought about it!"
The brigadier asked cautiously: "Then will you still go to Duke You tomorrow?"
"Go, of course. If Zhao Jundu is not escorted back to the hearing, what's the face of the military department? This commander will endure this momentary anger, so what can we do?" Wu Daoyu sneered.
The brigadier general hesitated, and said: "Wu Shuai, the Zhao Clan insisted on us taking over the line of defense. Is there something tricky about it?"
Wu Daoyu sneered, and said: "They just hope that we will retreat in the face of difficulties. But this commander was also killed in countless bloody battles back then. How could he be afraid of such battles? You can make arrangements now and mobilize more troops. Come here. I want to see how strong the attack of the dark race can be!"
The brigadier general led the way.
After he left, Wu Daoyu showed gloom. Only he himself knows that he lost to Lord You in the past, and now he is not sure about fighting with Zhao Weihuang. Zhao Weihuang is guarding the western border. After years of fierce battles with the dark race and the rebels, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. I am afraid that he is no longer in the realm of a master for the first time. If it weren't for the fact that the position of marshal had always been fixed, and Lin Xitang was in charge of the overall situation in Xijiang, Zhao Weihuang might already be the marshal.
Moreover, there are many entanglements within the military department, and there are many factions. Even the Changsheng King dare not say that he can cover the sky with one hand. Right Prime Minister Suxi is behind the scenes, and it is rare for him to stand directly on the stage, so at this moment, Wu Daoyu is the one standing on the front line, fighting directly with the Zhao Clan. At this moment, the emperor's family stayed out of the matter, which was equivalent to a direct confrontation between the right minister and the Zhao clan. Wu Daoyu immediately felt heavy pressure. Under such a situation, once a mistake is made, before the Zhao Clan makes a move, someone in the military may jump out to make trouble.
In the vast void, a dilapidated airship is sailing, the speed is definitely not fast.
Qianye walked into the control room and saw that there were almost no moving marks on the route map, feeling helpless. He was used to riding on imperial warships, Song Zining's ship was unparalleled, but now this ship was as slow as a snail, not much faster than a heavy cargo ship.
"How long will it take to reach the neutral land?" Qianye has asked this question countless times.
The captain was burly, with a full beard, and always had a dark red pipe that was polished and shiny in his mouth. According to him, this is just a common hobby, but Qianye has heard that the pirates wandering in the void like to use pipes. A rare pipe is a symbol of a great pirate's status.
Hearing Qianye's question, the captain grinned and said, "We'll be there in a few days."
This is the answer every time, which makes Qianye's ears callused. From the time of takeoff, the captain said that he would arrive in a few days, and now he still gives the same answer. According to the progress of the route map, it will take at least another seven or eight days to reach the periphery of the neutral land.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and a corner of the console suddenly burst into flames, followed by thick smoke. When this console fails, one of the engines outside stops spinning. The bearded man frowned, walked over and kicked the console, and then punched it hard again. The console miraculously came back to work and the engine started up again.
The captain turned around and smiled at Qianye: "This kind of small problem can be solved by tapping and tapping, there is no need to fix it at all."
Looking at the console with footprints and scorched black remnants, and looking at the empty space outside the porthole, Qianye always felt less safe.
The captain smiled and said: "It's okay, when did something happen to my Red Pipe's boat? This old man has been with me for twenty years, and he couldn't be more reliable."
Qianye looked at the rusty cabin roof, then at the dozens of control levers on the console, and the power pipes with several patches. twenty years.
The captain scratched his hair and said, "Well, it was already a hundred and forty years old when I got it."
Seeing the change in Qianye's eyes, the red pipe hurriedly said: "Don't look at it as old, but it's strong, and it's easier to use than those boats with thin hulls. You bought this old guy, and you really made a profit." Here it is. Your original silver boat is beautiful, but there is a bird in a place like the neutral land? It sank with a single shot."
Qianye couldn't stand his boasting, and said, "The ballista on that silver boat can sink this old antique with one shot."
The captain chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
