To be fair, Zhao Bao, the king of Yangwen, is also Zhao Chen who "can be a general and a prime minister". Even if he is over 60 years old this year, he will not be controlled by Meng Zhong so easily. The key is that he is not prepared at all.

How could he expect that Meng Zhong, the guard next to Zhao’s father, would dare to act so boldly?

Look, when Meng Zhong was controlling his sword, he was holding a bowl of hot wine in his hand.

But it has to be said that Yangwenjun Zhao Bao is also an old minister who accompanied Zhao Master's father through many ups and downs in the Zhao State. Even when Meng Zhong was plastered on his neck with a sword, his face was not panicked at all. Even his hand holding the wine did not shake. He stared at Meng Zhong for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Boy, you dare not."

"How can I see it?" Meng Zhong asked calmly.

Zhao Bao drank the wine in the bowl, then raised his hand and wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Meng Zhong and smiled: "I am an important minister of Zhao State. If you dare to kill me, do you think you can still survive?......, including your companions outside the house, you will be buried with me. I will use my life to exchange for you to wait for seven or eight lives. Haha, this is not a worthwhile thing."

Hearing this, Meng Zhong smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "I think Yang Wenjun is wrong... This time, Meng came on the order of Master Zhao's father, but Yang Wenjun was so negligent. If this matter was spread, Master Zhao's father would definitely be unhappy. If I had a conflict with Master Yang Wenjun at this time, causing both of them to die, who do you think Master Zhao's dissatisfaction with Master Zhao would vent on? Isn't he the descendant of Master Zhao's son.

What about you?... When the king was dead, the king and the father of Zhao wanted to take back the title and fief of the king and the fief. It was easy to get rid of him. I believe that even the king and the king of Fengyang would not protect the king and the king in this matter... Who made the king and the father of Zhao disrespect the father of Zhao first? Therefore, my companions and I can not only exchange the life of the king and the king and the title and fief of the king. This way, it seems that the king and the king are even more at a disadvantage?"

“…”

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao frowned when he heard this.

If Meng Zhong thought about it carefully, he was right. If this incident reached Zhao's father today, Zhao's father would definitely think that he was intentionally neglecting - more importantly, if he died, he would naturally be unable to protect his descendants.

But no matter how much I think about it, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao didn't want to give in to the little boy Meng Zhong, and he still shook his head with his neck in his arms and said, "I still think you dare not."

Meng Zhong shook his head and said, "Those who beat eagles all day long will inevitably be blinded by eagles one day; those who are good at water often drown more in the world. Why? Just because they are too confident... I really don't understand why Yang Wenjun wants to use his life and wealth to bet on whether he dares to bet on you? If you win, it is just a victory of will; but if you lose, you may lose your life, title, fief, and have nothing to do with your descendants... Do you think such a gambling game is beneficial? Why don't you take a step back, I take my sword back, and you let the soldier retreat outside the house. After that, I will talk to Junhou about the matter that Master Zhao told him, and reveal the right and wrong of each other before. What do you think?"

“Whether each other is right or wrong?”

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with me? You broke into my mansion with a sword, is it because of my fault?"

"However, the cause of this is that Yang Wenjun disrespects Zhao's father and deliberately asks Jae-sei to wait outside the mansion. Isn't this wrong? He is determined to be Zhao's father's instructions and dare not delay, so he forced himself into it. But Yang Wenjun, you, pretending to be unwell, but in fact, you are drinking in the house and deliberately neglecting Jae-sei sent by Zhao's father... If the Lord insists that this is not wrong, it is better for you and I to ask Zhao's father and the Lord to comment on him at this moment to see who is right and who is wrong?"

"..." Zhao Bao was speechless.

After all, everything Meng Zhong said was conclusive. How dare he report this to Master Zhao and King Zhao He?

"You boy... I remember you."

Seeing Meng Zhong say "ruthless" words, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao waved his hand to the guard and said, "Get back, no one will be allowed to break in without my permission!"

“…here.”

The guard looked at Meng Zhong hesitantly, but in the end he followed Zhao Bao's instructions, and after hugging his fists, he bent and retreated.

Seeing that the man left the house and closed the door, Meng Zhong then put away his sharp sword, hugged his fists and said, "Yang Wenjun, I have offended something just now."

"snort!"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao snorted and used a wine spoon to scoop a spoonful of wine into the bowl in the wine pot on the copper stove.

Immediately, after glanced at Meng Zhong, he also gave him a bowl and scooped him a spoonful of wine. During this time, he said lightly: "Taste the wine in my house, don't say that I have neglected the Lord's Father's people again."

Meng Zhong smiled slightly.

Zhao Bao's actions made him feel that this old minister of Zhao had a bad temper and was stubborn, but he was actually quite good at being a person.

So he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

There are probably only two types of contemporary wines: one is fruit wine brewed by fruits, and the other is grain-making wine (yellow wine) - due to different grains, the rice wine brewed also has different colors, including beige, yellow-brown, and red-brown.

The wine on Zhao Bao's mansion in Yangwenjun is a wine made of rice. Due to the imperfection of contemporary brewing technology, there are still many impurities in the wine that have not been removed completely, so it is also called turbid wine.

As for the reason why you have to boil it before drinking it, it is because bacteria exist in this kind of simple fermented wine. If you drink raw wine directly, it will easily cause diarrhea. Therefore, it is generally necessary to cook it and then drink it after boiling it.

"very nice."

After taking a sip of warm and slightly hot wine, Meng Zhong praised.

"Hahahaha."

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled, nodded and said, "For the sake of your praise, what happened before is as you said, and I will not mention it." After that, he stroked his beard and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Lord Father build a new army? Did he have suspicion of our tribe members?"

This question is really hard to answer.

Meng Zhong thought about it and simply admitted: "This is natural."

Zhao Bao seemed to have not expected Meng Zhong to admit it. After being slightly stunned, he asked, "What did the Lord Father tell you?"

“Where does this need to be said?”

Meng Zhong chuckled and said, "Zhao's father has been in power for nearly 30 years and has led Zhao to this kind of strength today. Even outsiders from Song know that Zhao's father is the heroic ruler of the world. However, in Zhao, there are still Anping Jun, Fengyang Jun, and Yang Wenjun, you have different opinions from Zhao's father... For example, Zhao's father insists on "unifying Qin and Song", and several people insist on "unifying Qi to resist Qin". Is Qi really a reliable and trustworthy ally?"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao glanced at Meng Zhong and said, "You are from Song, so of course you will speak for Song State."

"The wise do not avoid relatives and enemies. Leshu, the son of Leyang, killed Zhai Jing, the son of Wei Prime Minister Zhai Huang, but Wei Prime Minister Zhai Huang still recommended Leyang as the head coach to Wei Wenhou to attack Zhongshan, just because Leyang was the most suitable candidate he thought... I am not the reason why I advocated the maintenance of the "Zhao-Song Alliance" because I was from Song. To be honest, the Zhao-Song Alliance lasted for nearly 30 years. Did Song betray Zhao? Never! But what about Qi? It is said that Qi asked Wei, Han, and Zhao to jointly attack Qin, but he himself did not send troops. Even when Zhao and Qin went to war, he took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to attack Zhao. The reliable Song State did not unite, but insisted on uniting with Qi that had betrayed Zhao. I really don't understand your country's ideas." Meng Zhong said calmly.

"..." Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao stroked his beard and didn't speak.

Meng Zhong said everything he was right, but he could not refute it.

To be honest, even Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao couldn't figure out why Anping Jun Zhao Cheng, Fengyang Jun Li Dui and others had to insist on "unifying Qi to resist Qin".

You should know that the current Qin King Yingji was supported by his Zhao father, Zhao's father. This move has made the Qin-Zhao relationship very stable now, and there is no reason to destroy this relationship.

In fact, after all, it was because the Qin State was too strong some time ago - that is, the period when Zhang Yi became the prime minister of Qin.

At that time, Zhang Yi, who was like a hanging river and had a lot of strategies in his arms, played with the countries on applause, so that the Central Plains countries became extremely afraid and vigilant about Qin.

Therefore, in the Central Plains countries, the threat from Qin is far higher than that of Qi.

"Okay, I'll agree to this."

After a while, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao nodded and said in a deep voice: "I allow you to go to the army to draw soldiers... I will send people to the army to gather in the camp later. You come back tomorrow, and I will take you to the army and let you select soldiers."

"Thank you, Yang Wenjun."

Meng Zhong thanked him with fists.

After a while, Meng Zhong stood up and said goodbye. Looking at the boy's departure, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao held the wine bowl and felt thoughtful.

This incident soon reached the ears of Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui.

That night, Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui came to visit Zhao Bao. While the three of them were drinking and chatting together, Zhao Bao told Zhao Cheng and Li Dui about the meaning of Zhao Zhufu conveyed by Meng Zhong.

After listening to Zhao Bao’s story, Fengyang Jun Li Dui frowned and asked Zhao Bao: “Can Yang Wenjun find a way to get a few insiders into it? So that we can grasp the intentions of the master’s father.”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao held the wine bowl and said, "Although that boy Meng Zhong is young, I think he is brave and resourceful, so I'm afraid it's not easy to fool him."

"Then try to stop this matter. This son is close to Prince Zhang and Tian Burui. Keeping him by his side is a disaster after all." After narrowing his eyes, Anping Jun Zhao Cheng said with a calm face: "Zhao Bao, please choose a few sharp soldiers in the moment. When Meng Zhong draws the soldiers, these people take the opportunity to attack. This son is young and difficult to convince the public. The other soldiers will definitely not obey his orders. At that time, let's see how this son ends."

"...If this matter fails, I believe that the master's father will also lose trust in this son." Fengyang Jun Li Dui said while stroking his beard.

Listening to Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui, you talked with each other, Yangwen Jun Zhao Bao picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, but the scene of Meng Zhong holding him hostage at that time appeared in his mind.

"If I had not reconciled at that time, what would the boy do?"

He secretly guessed.

Although he still couldn't guess what Meng Zhong thought at that time, he was sure that the kid would never put down the sword in his hand.

Because the boy's eyes were so firm at that time.

He was firmly determined to go downhill and settle with him, rather than losing both sides.

Will such a person be blocked by Anping Jun Zhao Cheng's plan?

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao doesn't think so.
