Chapter 203 Lord's Wrath 3
After listening to Zhao Xin's words, Zhao Yong looked at Le Yi, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, "I remember you. You are the Le Yi who once made contributions to saving the mission of the State of Qin, right?"
Le Yi was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that the master would remember such a small person as himself. He quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "It's a humble job to go back to the master."
He didn't know that Zhao Yong's most proud ability was to remember thousands of different faces and names effortlessly. In the guard and Yulin, he can easily shout out anyone's name. It is because of this that his subordinates who have followed him will be loyal to him and will not turn their back on him easily.
Seeing the master's eyes looking at the gate behind him, Le Yi came to his senses and hurriedly looked up and ordered his subordinates on the head of the city to open the gate.
With the order of the main general, these Zhao soldiers naturally did not dare to be embarrassed any more. Soon, dozens of people came down to work together to open the heavy gate.
Since the master's father intended to hide his identity, Le Yi did not dare to make a double, so he led the way for the two. Zhao Yong and Zhao Xin did not get on the horse, but led the horse into the city.
He waved his subordinates back. When Le Yi saw that there was no one left and right, he slowed down to the master's side and asked for instructions in a low voice: "Master, do you need to send you back to Handan?"
This small city is called Shicheng, which is an important satellite city in the northeast of Handan, which tightens the road to Handan. When Le Yi saw that his father was only accompanied by Zhao Xin, he was a little worried that something would happen on the road. After all, Shicheng was still ten miles away from Handan, so he took the initiative to ask for it.
Zhao Yong did not answer, but just stopped to look at Le Yi and said, "Have you heard anything unusual in Handan City these days?"
Le Yi thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly and said, "I heard some, but I don't know if it's what the Lord wants."
Zhao Yong said in a low voice, "Try to hear it."
"No."
"Ten days ago, there was a sudden rumor in Handan City. It was said that Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, who was detained by the State of Qin three years ago, escaped from Xianyang and fled all the way to Zhao to our state of Zhao. I hope that our state of Zhao can do justice for him."
Zhao Yong and Zhao Xin looked at each other and felt a little strange in their hearts.
Such confidential matters involving the court have always been strictly blocked, but why is it popular among the people?
Did someone do it on purpose?
Zhao Yong looked at Le Yi and said in a low voice, "Go on."
"No."
Le Yi bowed and answered, paused and then said, "There are rumors that the master is not in Handan at this time. The ministers such as the king and the prime minister did not dare to take in Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, because they were afraid of the State of Qin, but forced the soldiers to expel Xiong Huai from the border. Later, it was rumored that Xiong Huai fled in a hurry and wanted to go to the State of Wei, but he was captured by the Qin army on the road. He spit out blood and fought in anger. Now he is dying and his life is imminent.
Zhao Yong was about to crack after hearing this and roared, "What!"
The roar was particularly harsh in the streets at night, and soldiers in the distance looked at it one after another. When Le Yi and Zhao Xin saw that their father's expression was so terrible, they were really a little frightened. They looked at each other and bowed their heads without saying a word.
Zhao Yong's eyes were wide open angrily, and he exhaled a few times before suppressing the anger in his heart.
He thought that even if Zhao He and Fei Yi did not advocate evil relations with Qin, Zhao He, as a son, would have to wait for him to return to court to deal with such a big event. Not to mention Feiyi, who has followed him for many years, it is impossible for him not to know his ambition for the State of Qin. Ben Zhao Yong thought that Feiyi would suppress the struggle and temporarily detained Xiong Huai and delayed the time with the State of Qin.
But it is Zhao He and Feiyi, the son he once loved most, the minister he once trusted, but now he does not hesitate to put himself aside, even the symbolic request for instructions has not been made. If it hadn't been for Lou Huan's bad situation and sent Zhao Xin to send a message, I'm afraid he is still in the dark.
Zhao He and Fei Yi's behavior not only made Zhao Yong lose the rare opportunity to destroy the State of Qin, but also chilled him.
Being betrayed by his beloved son and closest friends is unbearable for any man, not to mention his Zhao Yong. What's more serious is that this move undoubtedly announced to the world that Zhao Yong has gradually gone to control over the State of Zhao.
Zhao Yong clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed from time to time, which made people afraid. He is really murderous this time, to Feiyi and to the royal party.
When Zhao Xin saw that his father didn't say anything, he came forward and whispered, "My father, I think it should be Lou Xiang who spread the news. He must have been unable to stop the king, so this matter spread among the people, hoping that the people will continue to put pressure on the king and create momentum for the Lord."
Le Yi echoed; "It was exactly that as soon as this matter came out, the whole Handan was full of scolding, and the military officers and soldiers were even more in an uproar. Everyone said that the State of Zhao has been invincible and invincible for decades under the leadership of his father. He has never been afraid of any country. Even the State of Qi and the State of Qin depends on our faces. But as soon as the master abdiced, our State of Zhao became so weak, which was really difficult for the brothers to accept.
Zhao Yong had calmed down at this time. Hearing Zhao Xin and Le Yi's anger calmed down a little, he nodded and said, "After all, Lou Huan has been my humerus for many years, and I still have to rely on him at the critical time. Although the current situation is beyond my control, it is not too bad.
A sharp look flashed in his eyes and he said, "Zhao Xin, we will go back to the palace immediately. I'd like to see who dares to be presumptuous in front of my widow."
"No." Zhao Xin responded to his fate, but there was an unexplained tension in his heart.
The most frightening thing is finally going to happen. I hope it won't turn into a bloody palace change.
"Le Yi."
"I am humble." Le Yi's heart was wide. Seeing that the master finally thought of himself, he quickly answered loudly.
Zhao Yong stared at Le Yi's eyes and asked slowly, "Would you like to follow me?"
Le Yi suddenly knelt down, patted his chest and roared in a low voice; "Go through fire and water, don't hesitate."
"Okay, you immediately take my rune, go to Pingyang to see Zhao Xi, and let him mobilize the three garrisons of Pingyang Battalion, Wu'an Camp and Feicheng Battalion, and be on high alert to wait for my news. If you don't see my messenger at noon tomorrow, you will immediately send troops to besiege Handan."
"No." Le Yi was in a turbulent mood, and his hands trembled slightly to take over the rune. He knew in his heart that at this moment, he was already the father's confidant. From then on, whether the future was bright or the dead family was destroyed, it was up to his own creation.
"It's not too late." The master turned over his horse, and Zhao Xin hurriedly caught up with him. The two of them galloped in the direction of Handan. The gate in front of him had already been opened by Le Yi's own soldiers. Le Yi pulled out the mount from the camp, hurriedly said a few words, and then headed for the direction of Pingyang Camp.
In the dark night, two fast horses galloped along the post road leading to Handan.
The journey of ten miles under the fast horse was just a blink of an eye. Soon the two came to the moat of the north gate of Handan. When the guards on the tower saw someone coming, they also gathered their heads and looked around.
Zhao Yong pulled the reeds and shouted loudly to the guards in the city by the moat, "Open the gate quickly."
The soldiers at the top of the city will shout loudly; "At this time, there is a curfew. No one is allowed to enter. Go back quickly, otherwise you will look good under the random arrows."
Zhao Yong sneered and said, "Look who I am."
The guards in the city were shocked. Who else in the State of Zhao, besides the king of Zhao and his father, hurriedly called their companions to raise their torches and shine down, but Zhao Yong's cold eyes greeted them.
One person exclaimed, "It's really the master. I've seen the master." As soon as the words fell, the city was suddenly in chaos. When these Zhao soldiers saw that the master dared to hesitate under the city, they hurriedly opened the gate and lowered the suspension bridge, and knelt on both sides of the gate and shouted long live.
Zhao Yong looked at them, but passed through the gate like a whip and rushed to the palace with Zhao Xin. The leader of the Zhao army who knelt beside him was afraid and quickly ran to the lieutenant's mansion in a hurry to report.
Handan in the night looked particularly cold, and the sound of horses' hoofs fell heavily on the gravel road, which seemed particularly abrupt in the night. Zhao Xin secretly glanced at his father beside him. Under the moonlight, he frowned and his expression had returned to normal. He was no longer the angry appearance just now. At this time, there was only calmness and calmness on his face.
Zhao's confidence, who has followed the master for a long time, is clear that every big event, the master looks like this. In his words, only by keeping a clear mind can you make an accurate judgment.
The tall palace tower is not far ahead, and the guards with torches can be faintly seen on the tower. Seeing that the master did not mean to slow down, Zhao Xin hurriedly shouted behind, "Lord, wait."
Zhao Yong heard the sound and pulled it down. He looked at Zhao Xin and frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Xin immediately urged him to line up with his father and said with an embarrassed face, "Lord, this is the east gate of the palace, the gate guarded by the praetorian guards. Why don't we take a detour to the west gate, which is where the minister is stationed? Let's mobilize Yulin first and then meet the king, so that we can be prepared.
Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Xin and sneered, "Why, isn't the guard an army of widows?"
Zhao Xin quickly waved his hand and explained, "I didn't mean that, it's just... It's just that the praetorian guards have followed the king for a long time, and they have always been tit-for-tat with our Yulin. If the master goes alone, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Yong stared and said, "I'm afraid what?"
Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid that the outlaws who take risks will offend the master."
Zhao Yong snorted coldly, "Zhao Xin, you are too underestimated. This imperial guard has been with me for 26 years, and it has only been less than three years since I changed my master. Do you think they dare to be unfavorable to me?"
Seeing that Zhao Xin still wanted to speak, Zhao Yong waved his hand and said coldly, "Don't say more. I really don't believe it. I'm still alive. The sky of Zhao has changed. You don't need to say much. Quickly enter the Yulin camp from the west gate and bring Yulin to make peace with me.
When Zhao Xin saw that his father insisted on doing so, he also knew that it was useless to persuade him. He had no choice but to take the order to leave, leaving only the master outside the palace gate.
