Chapter Seventy-Eight: Provocative Words
A person walked out of the palace, the guards stepped forward to salute, the man nodded and agreed to leave quickly, out of the palace door and took a big stride, in the inner city from the palace closest to the palace in front of the stop, on the scale of Zhao Kuo's Duwei Mansion above, in front of the door stood four people, carrying a long sword at their waists, should be the palace guards, the identity of the people living here must not be low.
When the man came closer, the guards saw him, "Master Hou! ”
The person who came was Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, who had been staying in the palace last night, and was inevitably a little tired after dealing with some government affairs today, so he simply put it down and returned to the mansion, Zhao Mu nodded, a guard opened the courtyard door, Zhao Mu stepped in, and the door was slowly closed.
After a short time, the four figures appeared sneakily, and they looked at it and praised it again and again, "It's really magnificent!" ”
"That's natural, the most popular person in Handan City now is Master Hou!"
"So what are you waiting for!"
"Go, go."
The four of them walked out of the corner, tidied up their clothes, and slowly approached with the gift box in their hands, and the guards stepped forward to block the way, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" The guard's eyes widened, relying on the majesty of the master.
One person stepped forward respectfully, "The children of the world clan have come to meet the Hou Ye!" I hope to pass it on. ”
"Shiclan!" The guards looked up and down, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a lewd appearance, vain eyes, and a bit of the spirit of a child of the world on his body, "Can you make an appointment in advance?" ”
"This, the matter is urgent."
The guard snorted coldly, his expression arrogant, "Hou Ye has a lot of opportunities, how can he say that he will see him, and leave his name and surname to wait for Hou Ye to summon him when he has time." ”
The status of the four people is not low, they don't want to eat at the door and eat behind closed doors, so they will inevitably be angry and beat people in normal times, but now they are bent over and their faces show a flattering look, what kind of place is this, Julu Hou Zhao Mu's mansion, with the king's trust in Julu Hou, he will inevitably become an important minister of Zhao State one day, plus the identity of the family, the future is limitless.
"It's a little meaning, but please be accommodating."
The guard weighed it, and his eyes fell on the faces of the four people, who were beaten and bruised and swollen, "Wait." The four of them agreed to stand aside, and after a short time, the guard walked out, "Go in, remember not to walk around." ”
The four of them entered, the mansion was spacious, and when they thought of the guard's advice, they didn't dare to look around, followed behind the guard, and after a short time, they came to a door and stopped.
"Master Hou is inside."
The four of them agreed and walked in tremblingly, only to see a person sitting in the middle in a gorgeous suit, holding a wine glass in his hand, his eyes were chilling with deterrence, a long sword was put aside, and he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I've seen Master Hou." ”
Juluhou stood up, "If Zhao Mu and you can be called brothers in terms of seniority, since you are here, don't be polite, sit." ”
"Master Xie."
The four of them sat down, deliberately covering the wounds on their faces with their hands, also as a family member, looking at the amazing momentum exuded by Zhao Mu's body, and then looking at their own people, they were beaten and lost face.
"Say, what's the important thing to come to see Ben Hou?"
One person said: "Someone in the bazaar yesterday made disrespectful remarks to Master Hou, and there were many insulting words!" ”
Zhao Mu sneered when he heard this: "There is such a thing, Ben Hou wants to hear it!" ”
The man's eyes rolled and said: "Yesterday, the four of us made an appointment to travel, but it was to study together, a few days ago I was rewarded by the king for fear that I would not be able to do it, and I mentioned Hou Ye in my speech, and the four of us admired Hou Ye's ability, showing words of appreciation, I didn't want to suddenly appear a person, the words were quite disrespectful, and said Hou Ye...."The man hesitated, Zhao Mu's face was gloomy, "Go on!" ”
The man continued: "Saying that the Hou Ye just relied on knowing how to flatter and get the king's weight, and he had no ability at all, the four of us couldn't look past it, so I argued with that person, and I didn't want that person to be overbearing, so I injured the four of us." After saying that, he took his arm away, and Zhao Mu saw that most of the four of them were scarred.
"Bold, who is this person?"
"Zhao Kuo."
Zhao Mu's expression changed when he heard this, and his body moved slightly, "It's him!" Ben Hou and Zhao Kuo have no grievances, why are you disrespectful, most of them are you privately making up lies to provoke Ben Hou to avenge you, yes or no? ”
"We don't dare to lie and deceive the Hou Ye when we kill us, that Zhao Kuo has been appreciated by the king for his military exploits, and now he is even more proud of his martial arts when he returns from the Qi Kingdom, and he is dissatisfied when he hears that the Hou Ye has obtained the king's weapon, and he has slandered the reputation of the Hou Ye."
"How can this be reasonable, Zhao Kuo's move is too deceitful."
"This is not enough, then Zhao Kuo also said wildly that he was the number one swordsman in Zhao State, saying that Hou Ye could not walk more than ten moves under his sword."
"Ten moves!" Zhao Mu laughed, "It should be this Hou Ye who said this, don't think that you can become a master if you win a Lian Jin, there are people outside the world, and Zhao Kuo is still far from swordsmanship!" ”
Zhao Kuo also said, "Seeing Zhao Mu's angry face, the four of them took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, this kind of trick is the simplest," What else do you say? ”
"It's not for the sake of marriage, the first king gave marriage to get a beautiful princess like Xianya, Zhao Kuo was complacent, and even mocked the Hou Ye for being incompetent and could only submit to the widow!"
As soon as Zhao Mu said this, Zhao Mu was furious, Zhao Mu personally liked it and was different, young and beautiful women didn't like it, but he had a soft spot for widows, Zhao Guo raised troops several times, there were not a few widows in Handan City, and there were countless lonely people who were lonely in the empty room, so it was a bad thing Zhao Mu, this matter gradually spread, Zhao Mu was quite dissatisfied with this, and he didn't want Zhao Kuo to attack it, it was really hateful.
Zhao Mu's face was gloomy, "So what, Ben Hou doesn't mind making her a widow, then it's up to you to escape from the palm of Ben Hou's hand!" The four of them were secretly happy, and some provocation of the two of them was considered to be a knot, not to mention that the two of them could not coexist in Handan City at all, and this kind of thing would happen sooner or later.
In the Duwei Mansion, in the face of Zou Yan's Destiny, Zhao Kuo had to nod and agree, since the woman who belongs to him can shirk it, looking at the loneliness in Yun Nu's expression when he turned around, it is also helpless, just wait for him to solve the mystery of his identity one day, otherwise it will be a pity to live a lonely life.
Ordering people to prepare gifts to send into the palace, these are the rules, although there is a previous king's will, with the permission of parents, always to show sincerity, one of them is to give some decent things in the past to express their willingness to accept the marriage, the other party returns the gift after it is set, just wait for the good day to pass the door.
Zhao Wangdan nodded again and again, "Okay, Wang Mei's matter has been resolved, and it is a matter of mind." ”
One of them bowed down and said, "When will the grain brought back by Lord Duwei from the Qi State be sent to the Changping camp?" ”
Zhao Wangdan thought for a while, "After the grain collected from the state and county arrives, it will be sent out together." ”
In the backyard of the palace, Zhao Ya was dressed in white and showed her beauty, looking carefully at the mirror, footsteps sounded, and a person walked in quickly, "Princess, happy event." ”
Zhao Ya turned around, "What happy event?" ”
"Princess's happy event!"
Zhao Ya looked at the maid with a puzzled expression, "I'm afraid you're not joking with me again!" After getting a lesson that day, Zhao Ya really changed a lot, and her words showed a little mildness, including the skills of Empress Dowager Zhao's training, after all, if you want to marry someone in the future, you always have to know some rules.
The maid smiled: "The slave maid doesn't dare, the courtesy has been sent, and the princess will get married soon." ”
The corners of Zhao Ya's mouth raised slightly, and her figure stood up, "Follow me to take a look." Hands grabbed the shirt and ran out, and the maid shouted behind him, "Princess, slow down." ”
The salute sent by Zhao Kuo was placed outside the main hall of the palace, and it could be seen clearly from a distance, a group of guards were guarding the side, one of them had a cold face was Guo Zong, Zhao Ya came to the front and raised his heels to take a closer look, a gaze came, Zhao Ya hurriedly dodged away, it was Guo Zong, who always felt that there was a bit of obscenity in his eyes, which was completely different from Zhao Shan, and he really didn't understand why Brother Wang wanted to use this person.
"This time, I'll write back!"
Zhao Ya nodded, "What will happen after you get married?" ”
"From now on, the princess will leave here and live in the general's mansion to teach her husband and children."
Zhao Ya pursed her mouth, "Wouldn't that be fun, Ya'er doesn't want it." ”
"The princess is smart and outstanding, only a hero like Zhao Kuo is worthy of the princess, don't blame the slave for being too talkative, it's not as good as here over there, you have to listen to your husband's words."
"Okay!"
Zhao Ya showed a trace of melancholy on her face, most of the time she heard the maid talk about the things after marriage, and thought that she could accompany them day and night, she couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.
