Chapter 230: The Thieves and Courtiers, and Wait for the King to Deal with Them (Third Update)

Lou Sheng sat in the carriage, looking at the lively Handan City, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

As long as great things can be accomplished, then when the Qin State dominates the world, Handan City will be the territory of the Knowles family!

Is there anything more fascinating in this world than the land? At least Lou Sheng doesn't think there is.

Although with the changes of the times, whether it is Qin or Zhao, it is impossible for the feudal monarchs to have complete control over their fiefdoms like the Qing Dafu in the Zhou Dynasty and even the Spring and Autumn Period, and most of the feudal lords even receive their titles when they die.

But this does not prevent Lou Sheng from yearning for land.

This kind of war and chaos is precarious even for the monarch of a country, let alone a nobleman like Lou Sheng.

As long as the land is his own while he is alive, who cares about what happens after he dies!

To be honest, as the backbone of the Lou family, Lou Sheng has long been dissatisfied with the situation of the Lou family in the Zhao State.

Don't look at the fact that the Knowles and the Zhao family, the royal family of the Zhao State today, come from the same origin, but the Knowles have actually mixed well in the Zhao Kingdom over the years, which can be seen from the fact that the current head of the Knowles family, Lou Chang, is just a mere doctor.

For example, Yu Xin, Yu Xin was just an ordinary Hanmen cloth cloth scholar before, but the first time he met Zhao Dan, he was rewarded with gold and 100 yi, a pair of white jade, and the second time he saw Zhao Dan, he was appointed as the lieutenant of Zhao Guo, and the title went directly to Shangqing, which was three levels higher than Lou Chang.

How can the Ao family be satisfied? What about the preferential treatment that the Zhao Guowang clan should have?

What made the Lou family even more unhappy was that they didn't get preferential treatment, but Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao were very trusted by Zhao Dan and gave Xiangbang and Si Kou such a high-powered position.

My Kuo clan is also a princess, why can Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao be crowned kings and be prime ministers, and our Kuo's head can only be the lowest status of the six ministers, and the title is only a doctor, not even a secretary?

People are more angry than people.

Therefore, in the Lou family, the dissatisfaction and resentment against Zhao Guo have always existed, and it is not just a few core figures such as Lou Chang, Lou Zhu or Lou Sheng.

Although the entire Lou family is nominally the Duke of Zhao, it has actually long been separated from Zhao Guo.

The carriage traveled all the way, and soon left the city along the south gate of Handan, and then headed south.

According to the itinerary that had been set before, Lou Sheng would cross the Yellow River in the south, then pass through the territory of Wei and Korea, and finally enter Xianyang through Hangu Pass, and hand over the letter to his father Lou Shu, who had been waiting for a long time.

The palace city of Zhao is in the southwest of Handan Guocheng, so after Lou Sheng leaves the city, you can just see the gorgeous and atmospheric palace group of Zhao Guo's palace city.

Lou Sheng looked at this palace complex, subconsciously licked his lips, and snorted softly in his heart.

"One day, Wu Lou will become the lord of this palace city!"

At this time, Lou Sheng's gaze suddenly condensed slightly.

Because he suddenly found a group of about 100 cavalry coming out of the palace and heading towards the north where Lou Sheng was.

"Yulin Army?" Lou Sheng saw the helmet patterns of these cavalrymen clearly, and couldn't help but muttered softly.

Zhao Dan's establishment of a new army is a big news, and it is certainly impossible for Lou Sheng, who has been running back and forth between Qin and Zhao all year round, not to know.

The sound of hooves was like thunder and dust, but in a moment, the Yulin army was already approaching.

Many people on the road avoided it, and Lou Sheng's carriage also let it aside.

But the next moment, something happened that surprised Lou Sheng.

This hundred-person Yulin Army cavalry team actually stopped, and then surrounded the carriage where Lou Sheng was.

Lou Sheng instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The hooves of hundreds of horses splashed countless smoke and dust, completely obscuring Lou Sheng's vision, but Lou Sheng could still faintly hear the sound of shouting, as if someone had ordered the surrounding passers-by to leave quickly.

The uneasiness in Lou Sheng's heart became more and more serious.

You must know that this time, in order to avoid people's eyes, Lou Sheng only has a coachman and a few guards by his side, and it is impossible for him to be the opponent of these hundreds of Yulin Army.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and an expressionless officer of the Yulin Army rode up to the carriage.

Lou Sheng stepped out of the carriage, pretended to be calm and looked at the other party and said, "I don't know this..."

As soon as Lou Sheng's words were spoken, he was interrupted by the officer of the Yulin Army opposite: "You are Lou Sheng?" โ€

Lou Sheng's heart jumped, but he still nodded.

The officer of the Yulin Army glanced at Lou Sheng, and gave an order without any fluctuation: "Take it!" โ€

Several guards around Lou Sheng were shocked when they heard this, and immediately subconsciously pulled out their swords and protected them beside Lou Sheng.

"Whoosh!"

A dense sound of arrows rang out, and the cavalry of the Yulin Army used a quick and simple salvo of crossbows to kill all the guards around Lou Sheng.

Lou Sheng's face changed greatly, and the whole person subconsciously took two steps back, and his voice trembled when he spoke: "You, do you know who I am?" I am the middle brother of the doctor Lou Chang! โ€

The corners of the Yulin Army's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.

Lou Sheng woke up suddenly, the other party called out his name just now, how could he not know his identity?

At this moment, Lou Sheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Two black-clothed men appeared in front of Lou Sheng, and they couldn't help but tie up Lou Sheng and start searching his body.

Although Lou Sheng wanted to struggle, the man in black was obviously prepared, and a few old punches quieted Lou Sheng, who had a blue nose and swollen face.

With a "tearing" sound, the mezzanine in Lou Sheng's underwear was torn open, and the secret letter solemnly written by Lou Chang was rediscovered.

The two men in black glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

The officer of the Yulin Army in the back seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and when he saw this, he asked, "Found it?" โ€

The man in black replied, "Found it." This letter is of great importance, and I ask you to send someone to escort us into the palace at once. As for this, I will also trouble you to deal with it. โ€

The officer of the Yulin Army nodded, and looked at Lou Sheng, who had been beaten into a pig's head: "How did this person fall?" โ€

The man in black said: "Please escort him back to Miyagi first, and someone will naturally come to hand him over later." โ€

Lou Sheng, who was beaten like a pig's head, only woke up from a dream at this time, and looked at the two black-clothed men in front of him incredulously: "You are the guard?" That's impossible! โ€

The two guards glanced at Lou Sheng mockingly, and showed a big smile at Lou Sheng.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, and wait for the king to deal with them!"

ยทยทยท

A quarter of an hour later, Mi Xian took the secret letter that had just been searched from Lou Sheng, walked into the Longtai side hall quickly, and saw Zhao Dan who was working at the desk.

"King, there is evidence that the Lou clan is plotting to betray Zhao!"
