The carriage drove away, everyone bowed down to see each other off, and seeing that the carriage left and finally breathed a sigh of relief, one person smiled and said: "Qinghou, this time it is out of the limelight!" ”

The old man smiled and said: "Which of you and I have not received the favor of the first king and the queen mother, and now I just take out some surplus grain, and the old man knows in his heart that he has just hurt some vitality, and he has not yet broken his muscles and bones and hunger, if this battle is really lost, the land and food will really be gone, and the future generations will be humiliated, calculate which is big and which is small." ”

"Qinghou is right."

"Don't be here, go back and prepare food, the Queen Mother said that the time is urgent, and it will be tomorrow, but I can't get so much at once, I always have to raise something!"

"Farewell."

Everyone left one after another, the door was closed, a few figures appeared around the corner and disappeared quickly, the old slave looked at the object in his hand, it was just an ordinary thing, that day as a house slave followed the eldest lady into the Zhao country, it is by virtue of this relationship that there is such glory today, the grace of the past, today's feelings, don't say it's just some food, even if it's a life, it's worth it.

The carriage entered the palace gate, Guo Zong hid on the side with a gloomy face, and it was clear that it was the carriage used by the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager Zhao rarely went out of the palace, why did the most influential woman in Zhao go out with a personal guard today, just after Zhao Ya entered the palace, it was too strange, several figures entered, Guo Zong revealed his figure, several people approached, came to the front and whispered, Guo Zong frowned when he heard it, nodded and signaled, and several people left quickly.

Guo Zong thought about it and walked out of the palace and went straight to Zhao Mu's residence, and the guards in front of the door recognized Guo Zong, "Where is Master Hou today?" ”

"Study!"

Guo Zong nodded, looked left and right and walked in, the road was familiar and went straight to the study, through the half-open window, a figure stood there, his shoulders shook with his arms, he must be writing, the door was open and he entered directly, Zhao Mu looked solemn, Guo Zong had to wait aside, and the last stroke fell.

"Come and see how it is written!"

Guo Zong stepped forward, "Good words, it can be called a must!" ”

Zhao Mu was originally very conceited, he thought that no one in the country could beat him in martial arts and talent, and the status of the hereditary marquis was not low, how could he have a Zhao Kuo, the limelight was invisible* Zhao Mu covered, Zhao Mu was not in a hurry, the limelight was too strong to be hated by others, and what he had to do was a great cause rather than a person's work.

"But what's going on in the palace?"

Guo Zong nodded, "I can't hide anything from Master Hou, the Queen Mother is out of the palace today." ”

Zhao Mu sighed when he heard this, "What can this woman do when she leaves the palace!" ”

Guo Zong's body is close, Zhao Mu's body can't help but retreat, his arm is almost instinctively raised, although Zhao Mu's martial arts are high, he is also suspicious, Guo Zong has the ability and ambition, so he can sit on the position of the commander of the guard, Zhao Mu's purpose is nothing more than to use Guo Zong's hand to eradicate dissidents for himself, of course, it is also necessary to guard, once an ambitious person expands rapidly, it will inevitably give birth to greater ambitions, and it may be difficult to control it at that time.

"Say it!"

Guo Zong said: "The spies reported that the Queen Mother went to Qinghou Mansion. ”

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, "Qinghou, that old immortal, he has long looked at him unpleasantly, with his own identity, even Zhao Mu is also not in his eyes, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's affection, he would have sent him back to the West a long time ago, can he find out the purpose of the Queen Mother's trip to Qinghou Mansion this time?" ”

On the same day, King Huiwen died, and the Empress Dowager Zhao took the old family to elect the crown prince Dan to succeed to the throne, and it was this Qinghou who came forward at that time, which Zhao Mu knew very well that Qinghou was the queen mother's person, and he couldn't move for the time being.

Guo Zong said: "Nanhou, Yuhou, Dahou...!" Guo Zong said more than two dozen in one breath, and Zhao Mu's eyes widened, "All these people went?" ”

Guo Zong nodded, "See clearly, let's enter the Qinghou Mansion together." ”

"Old Clan!"

Zhao Mu's face showed anger, these old clans are the most headache, deep-rooted, and the relationship is intertwined, don't say that it is Zhao Mu, even if the current king is also unwilling to provoke, it must be a big deal for the Empress Dowager Zhao to meet these people, and even a matter related to the life and death of the Zhao country, Zhao Mu suddenly thought of something, and his face showed anger, "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Ya, Benhou will definitely not let you succeed!" Zhao Mu's fists clenched and made a creaking sound.

"What do you mean, Master Hou?"

Zhao Mu snorted coldly, "Zhao Ya entered the palace with her front foot, and Empress Dowager Zhao summoned those old clans, it is already very clear, it must be for the matter of grain and grass!" ”

Guo Zong nodded, "Hou Ye Gao sees that Handan is short of food, and the food in the hands of these clans must be insufficient, even if Empress Dowager Zhao has the heart, she can't do it, the army in Changping Land is no less than 500,000, and 500,000 mouths are enough to give everyone a headache." ”

Zhao Mu shook his head, "Don't underestimate the power of the world, which of these people has not worked hard for decades, and the strength in the Zhao country is far from what you and I can imagine, the hoarded food must not be a few, I don't want to count thousands of people or miss a person." ”

Guo Zong's face showed an anxious look, "Master Hou, wouldn't this be a bad plan for Master Hou!" ”

Zhao Muhaha laughed, "How can such a trivial matter stump Benhou, even if you can get food, Handan is no less than ten days away from the Changping military camp, and no one can guarantee what will happen in it!" ”

Guo Zong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, "Hou Ye Gao sees that the king will definitely ask Hou Ye tomorrow who will escort the grain and grass, and it is completely possible to use our people as the actors, and then we only need to do a good show!" He laughed.

Zhao Mu was proud, "This time it's not a good show, but a real show." ”

"Please make it clear!"

Zhao Mu said: "If you use Benhou, it will inevitably be caught, so this time you will simply use Zhao Xian's old stubbornness!" ”

"Zhao Xian? Deputy Lieutenant of Handan City! ”

Zhao Mu nodded, "Yes, Zhao Xian is Zhao Hao's old department, and he always can't get along with Ben Hou on weekdays, this time he just took this opportunity to get rid of it, Zhao Kuo died, even if Zhao Xian didn't die, it would be a big sin to lose food and grass, and then everyone would inevitably sprinkle their grievances on this person, so that all the inside and outside of Handan City fell into the hands of Ben Hou!" ”

"Master Hou's trick of killing two birds with one stone is seamless, Guo Zongxin is convinced!" Zhao Mu was proud in his heart, took the pen and ink, waved his arm and wrote six big characters, "Zhao Kuo is dead, Mu is the king!" ”

As Zhao Mu expected, early in the morning of the second day, Handan City was lively, the grain of the old family was transported from outside the city, and it was suddenly piled up, and the people were secretly surprised in their eyes, and the rice shop always claimed that the food was insufficient, and now where did it come from so much grain.

Zhao Wangdan got the news, but the queen mother said that the old family took out their own food and was grateful, the grain arrived one after another, hundreds of thousands of loads of grain, loaded with more than 700 carts, from Handan City to the outside of the city, it was time to consider how to send the grain to the Changping camp to solve the food emergency.

"Why hasn't the Julu Marquis been here?" Zhao Wangdan had no idea for a while, so he had to ask the guards.

The guard said, "The king, someone has been sent to go, it should be soon." ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, "Okay, wait!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Mu stepped in, "Zhao Mu has seen the king!" ”

Zhao Wangdan let out a sigh, "You go out first, this king has something to discuss with the Hou Ye!" ”

Everyone withdrew, and Zhao Mu deliberately asked, "The king ordered Benhou to come and I don't know what it is?" ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Did Master Hou see the big and small grain trucks in the city on the way here?" ”

Zhao Mu nodded, "From the street to the end of the street, I have always felt strange, Handan City is already short of food, who got so much food?" ”

Zhao Wangdan smiled, "Every qiē is the credit of the Queen Mother, it must be that I heard Wang Mei mention the lack of food for the soldiers, so she said that the old family should take out their own food to solve the danger of Changping." ”

"The Queen Mother is for the country and the people, and Zhao Mu admires it."

Zhao Wangdan nodded again and again, "This also ends a matter on the king's mind, for this matter to make the king sleep, today I invite the Hou Ye to come to discuss who is responsible for transporting grain!" ”

Zhao Mu pretended to think, "King, Benhou thinks that one person is feasible. ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

"Zhao Xian, this person has always been in charge of Handan's defense, and no one can compare with him in terms of experience, so it is most appropriate for this person to be responsible."

Zhao Wangdan said: "It's just that what about the city defense of Handan City as soon as this person leaves?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Mu's mouth, "If the king can be trusted, Zhao Mu is willing to share the king's worries!" ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, "Master Hou personally handles this king, rest assured, okay, Zhao Xian will take the role." ”
