In the corner of the Unfallable City, an unremarkable small building is heavily guarded at the moment. The guards have sealed off all the intersections, and there are two giant crossbows erected on the roof next to it. Not even a fly can get in or out.
One after another, off-road vehicles came and stopped outside the building. Looking at the clothes and badges, the people who got out of the cars were all big shots.
A moment later, a military vehicle painted with the logo of the military department stopped at the main entrance of the small building, and Wu Daoyu and a general got out of the vehicle.
The admiral looked around and was surprised to see such tight guards. When walking into the building, the general said softly: "Wu Shuai, how could it be the Zonglu Mansion who came this time? It's still such a big battle."
Wu Daoyu's face was very ugly, and he said coldly: "The evidence in this case is as solid as a mountain, no matter who comes, can it still turn the sky upside down?"
The general hurriedly said: "That's it, that's it." But looking at the worried look on his face, he obviously didn't think it would be so easy.
The two walked up to the second floor and were ushered into a reception room.
At the moment, there are seven or eight people sitting in the small reception room, all of whom are the principals of various families in the Unfalling City, only Zhang and Zhao are the only ones who have not yet arrived.
Wu Daoyu sat down in the middle, snorted coldly, and said, "What a big shelf!"
The admiral hurriedly poked him, and Wu Daoyu realized that Zhang Clan was also scolded by this sentence. However, he always prided himself on being upright, so he just snorted and didn't feel the need to reply.
After a while, both the Zhang family and the Zhao family came. Zhang Clan came forward as a middle-aged elder with the title of Marquis of Guan Nei, which was just right. And Zhao Junhong came from the Zhao Clan, which was quite surprising to everyone.
Zhao Junhong is the most unknown of the four sons of the younger generation of the Zhao family. He has only begun to shine in the past two years. Although his calm and capable style has received a lot of recognition, after all, he is still young and has not accumulated much. Sitting here, regardless of military achievements The original force seems to be slightly insufficient.
Seeing Zhao Junhong, Wu Daoyu's dissatisfaction became even worse. The family members of other aristocratic families are much calmer and calm. Elder Zhang Clan met Zhao Junhong at the door and greeted him.
When everyone had arrived, a white-faced, beardless man in his early thirties walked in and out, bowed his hands to everyone, and then stood aside. Then another man with a well-trimmed short beard, long eyebrows and slender eyes, and a dignified face walked in, smiling and nodding his head as a salute.
Everyone present was startled, they stood up one after another, and said in return: "Prince Rui!"
Prince Rui smiled and nodded, chose a vacant seat on the side, then greeted everyone to take their seats, and said: "There is no need to be formal, I just got bored in the imperial capital, so I asked His Majesty for an errand, and took the opportunity to go out for a walk. Today I am in Here, it's just for looking around, what to do is still up to Mr. Sun Chao and Mr. Sun of the Zonglu Mansion."
Sun Chao bowed to everyone, his face was expressionless, and his voice did not fluctuate at all: "Your official Zonglu Mansion, Sun Chao, was ordered to investigate Zhao Clan Zhao Jundu's fornication with blood clans and collusion with foreign enemies."
There were two people approaching below, and one of them asked softly: "Why did the Zonglu Mansion come forward with this matter?"
Another person replied: "You are confused. Zhao Jundu is born of Princess Gaoyi and has the blood of the emperor. It is only natural for the Zonglu Mansion to come forward."
The former person suddenly realized, and then thought about it.
Zonglu Mansion has always been a place of nobility, and only focuses on various matters related to the imperial family. Ordinary civil and military ministers may never see people from Zonglu Mansion in their entire lives.
Although Zhao Jundu is the son of a princess, if we only talk about bloodlines, there are not many bloodlines in this clan, and there are not many. And Sun Chao looked like a man with an iron face and a hard heart. It was really intriguing to send such a person to deal with this matter.
Everyone had their own thoughts and sat down one after another. Before most people came here, they thought that they had nothing to do with this matter, and they planned to sit and watch the Zhao Clan fight with the military. To be more precise, it is about the struggle between the Zhao faction and the right minister.
But now that the Zonglu Mansion has come forward and Prince Rui is here in person, this matter is a bit interesting. Many people present were wondering whether they should choose sides or not.
Prince Rui glanced at Zhao Junhong, then nodded with a smile. Seeing that Prince Rui acted like this, many people inevitably had another thought.
Wu Daoyu didn't want to let the situation change in a direction that was unfavorable to him, so he immediately said: "Qianye is called a human being, but he is actually a blood race, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain. Zhao Jundu has taken Qianye into the Congfu for a long time. With the power of Zhao Clan, how can Let a blood clan hide in the clan for so long without being noticed? This is not collusion, what is collusion?! According to the laws of the empire, colluding with a blood clan is collusion with the enemy, and the crime should be executed. If Zhao Jundu is not killed, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
These words were resounding, but all the family members of the powerful family were as if they were deaf, and all of them were expressionless.
Zhao Junhong smiled lightly, and replied calmly: "I, the Zhao Clan, opened up the territory for the empire. It is useless to kill the enemy. Many ancestors have died in battle. If you just pretend to be guilty because of trivial things, then the world will still be dead." Are there any loyal people? I would like to ask, what was Grandfather Wu Shuai doing at that time?"
Wu Daoyu stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "You mere junior, how dare you insult me? You want to die!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right palm, about to strike it down. With Wu Daoyu's skill, Zhao Junhong would be unlucky if he hit this palm. But Zhao Junhong didn't show any fear, he looked at Wu Daoyu with smiling eyes from beginning to end, his smile was full of sarcasm.
Wu Daoyu didn't seem to expect that Zhao Junhong would not give in at all, and suddenly there was a murderous look in his eyes, and he slashed down with one palm!
When he moved his right palm, everyone in the aristocratic family was shocked. They didn't expect that he would dare to kill on such an occasion.
However, Zhao Junhong remained calm, and he didn't even intend to dodge a little.
Wu Daoyu's palm fell halfway, and the force of the force swept towards Zhao Junhong, and the wind of the palm that arrived first was as sharp as a knife and cut the hem of his raised robe. Several people couldn't sit still and stood up one after another.
Suddenly, the wind calmed down, and Wu Daoyu found that a barrier as soft as flowing water had been erected in front of him at some point, and his wrist seemed to be gently supported by a hand, and the force of his angry palm disappeared without a sound. invisible.
The evil thoughts in Wu Daoyu's heart calmed down a little, he turned his head and saw that Prince Rui's right hand was empty, and it was he who took his palm from the air, and his heart shuddered.
Prince Rui has never had any ambitions, loves the wind, the snow and the moon the most, and is always kind, so few people would feel awe. However, only from this fight, Wu Daoyu knew that Prince Rui's fighting power was amazing.
Now that Prince Rui has already made a move, Wu Daoyu knew that if he continued to entangle, he would not be able to please him, so he immediately snorted and said: "This handsome is trying to save Prince Rui's face, but if the younger generation dares to talk nonsense, I will definitely not take it lightly!"
Zhao Junhong didn't give him a chance to go down the steps, so he stood up, brushed the torn robe, and said to Sun Chao: "My mother is the princess of Gaoyi of the Empire, and I also have the blood of the emperor. People, can kill the blood of the imperial family at will? Master Sun clearly learned!"
Wu Daoyu couldn't help being startled and angry, and stood up again, just as he was about to refute, he heard Sun Chao say: "Today, this official came here on orders, not a joke. If someone else comes here in front of this official If you do it face to face, then there is no need to discuss today's matter."
As soon as Sun Chao said this, many people's ears rang and their bodies shook.
Wu Daoyu was startled again, just based on the original force contained in these few words, Sun Chao is not far from God General Tianguan. Looking at his current age and position, he must have a bright future. There is really no need to offend this person at this moment, let alone Prince Rui sitting beside him. Thinking of this, Wu Daoyu secretly hated, knowing that today, don't talk about arbitrariness, even if it is suppressed, it will be very difficult.
Zhao Junhong smiled coldly at this time, and said: "Wu Shuai is so eager to kill me, can't he be guilty?"
Wu Daoyu raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "Why is this handsome guilty?"
Zhao Junhong suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "What is the meaning of so many blood race girls hiding in Wu Shuai's mansion? How long have you colluded with the blood race?"
The attack came so suddenly, Wu Daoyu was very surprised, and said in a hurry: "Zhuzi! Just talking nonsense! Which family doesn't have a few blood clan servants..."
As soon as this remark came out of his mouth, Wu Daoyu knew he had said something wrong. It has become a common practice in the empire to keep vampires and demon girls. It is true that many families have them, but how can this kind of thing be put on the table.
Sure enough, the aristocratic family made expressions of shame and incompetence, and some even moved their chairs, obviously putting some distance between Wu Daoyu and Wu Daoyu.
Sun Chao was still expressionless, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside the window, and the whole small building trembled slightly!
This place is full of strong people, and someone's face changed immediately, and said: "Northwest direction, ninety kilometers!"
The shock can be transmitted here from a distance of 90 kilometers, obviously there are real strong people fighting.
Wu Daoyu's face suddenly changed slightly, as if he wanted to stand up, but sat back down again. But his subtle changes cannot escape everyone's eyes.
Sun Chao's face darkened, and he said, "The Unfallable City is the last bastion of the empire. Why did people get so close? Who is stationed there?"
Suddenly several people's faces turned strange, Wu Daoyu's face turned black, Zhao Junhong lowered his eyes and snorted coldly. In the end, Sun Chao frowned, turned to Elder Zhang and asked, "What did Brother Zhang teach me?"
Elder Zhang Clan returned the salute, and said indifferently: "General Cointreau was originally in charge of stationing there, but after General Cointreau was detained by the military department for interrogation, the military department sent troops to take over the defense line. That section of defense line should have been two hundred kilometers away. , but the dark race has been on the offensive very fiercely during this period of time, and after seven consecutive days of attack, they have reached the position just now."
Wu Daoyu couldn't help it, and said angrily: "The dark race only attacks my section, and ignores the nearby Zhao Clan's stronghold. If it wasn't for the Zhao Clan's collaboration with the enemy, why did it come to this?"
Zhao Junhong sneered, "Fortunately, you used to be the commander in charge of guarding one side! Cointreau's line of defense is naturally the most dangerous and the most stressful place. When the fourth brother was here, I didn't see my Zhao Clan lose an inch of ground. How could it be your turn? Garrison, lose hundreds of miles within seven days? If according to what you said, sticking to the line is collaborating with the enemy, and retreating is the right way? Then I don’t know how many times Wu Shuai was defeated and retreated when he was in power? And how many times did the powerful families here today stick to it?"
Having said that, Zhao Junhong paused for a moment, then flicked his sleeves and reprimanded: "Incompetent people steal high positions, but go around biting around, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the world's aristocratic families?"
Wu Daoyu looked around and saw that the heads of those powerful families all had different expressions and felt bad. He was born in a noble family, and he has fought all the way to where he is today, so he inevitably thinks highly of himself and acts ruthlessly. In the early years, he also accumulated some grievances against the aristocratic family, and it is natural for him to vent his revenge after he ascended the throne.
He didn't expect that Zhao Junhong would catch him and attack him wantonly if he said a word inappropriately, and dragged all the powerful families present into the water. But Wu Daoyu couldn't just show weakness and keep silent, so he could only bite the bullet and answer.
The two sides came and went, and after arguing for a while, Wu Daoyu actually slipped more and more to the downwind. Zhao Junhong not only has strict logic, but also has outstanding soldiers from time to time, which makes Wu Daoyu feel very embarrassed.
The principals of the powerful families are all scheming people. After listening to Zhao Junhong's words earlier, Wu Daoyu is certainly not pleasing to the eye, but it's uncomfortable. I want to move them into today's muddy water with just a few words, but they can't of. However, after listening for a while, everyone's eyes gradually brightened, and they realized that apart from Zhao Jundu, the Zhao Clan actually had such talents.
Zhao Jundu's starting point is really too high, he will definitely be the head of the Zhao Clan in the future, most of the aristocratic families can't come up with suitable candidates for marriage. But Zhao Junhong was different, he was the elder brother of Zhao Jundu, but the more talented he was, the more subtle his future status would be, this was well understood by the children of the aristocratic family, so many people moved their minds to choose a son-in-law.
All the people present have fought side by side for a long time, and they have communicated a lot on weekdays. They know each other very well, and they can guess what the other party is thinking by just looking at their expressions. Everyone meditated on their own, and for a while they put the case behind them.
To them, the case was nothing more than a farce.
Qianye's origin is unknown, but he is valued by a proud son of heaven like Zhao Jundu. However, when Qianye's reputation was in full swing, the military found out that he had a woman of blood clan, and he himself exposed himself to the public when he was being hunted down. Bloodline identity. The first half of the game was nothing more than that, but the later part of catching and biting the Zhao Clan was full of loopholes, I couldn't bear to witness it, and I don't know who's handwriting. All the aristocratic families who stood by and watched wanted to comment a few words, but they didn't know where to start.
Therefore, the people in charge here don't care about the process at all, they just wait to see the result of the game between Zhao Clan and the forces behind the scenes. And the next marriage is also an alliance, which is the fundamental plan of a family and cannot be sloppy.
