In the end, a physically energetic soldier took the lead in the looting of hundreds of people, rushed to the camp gate with the log, causing the hundreds of soldiers chasing behind him to curse.

After the farce was over, Meng Zhong rewarded the soldier with a total of 500 pieces of cloth coins as he had promised, which made many soldiers from the side look very jealous.

Fortunately, Meng Zhong distributed the remaining 4,500 pieces of cloth coins to these soldiers and made a promise, which slightly resolved the jealousy of the 500 soldiers towards the "lucky" soldier.

"Congratulations."

At this time, the military assistant Zhao Ben walked up to Meng Zhong to congratulate him.

Looking at the reluctant smile on the other person's face, Meng Zhong smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your help."

This pun intended to make Zhao Ben even more embarrassed. He smiled embarrassedly, and on the excuse that he wanted to go back and report to Yangwenjun Zhao Bao, he left first.

After Zhao Ben left, Le Yi walked to Meng Zhong and lowered his voice and said, "The soldier named Mou Li has repeatedly provoked trouble, most of the Zhao Junzuo's secret instructions..."

"I know."

Meng Zhong nodded slightly. Although Zhao Ben did a very secretive job, he could still see some clues from it.

But this is not surprising. After all, the incident of Zhao Master's father establishing a new army as a guard has indeed touched the nerves of many people.

"…You are more decisive than I thought."

At this time, Le Yi said again: "At the time, I thought you would order the execution of the soldier named Mou Li... Why did you take the risk of doing it yourself? If this person hadn't been careless and had been attacked by you, I'm afraid..."

"I thought about what you said, too."

Meng Zhong explained after hearing this: "But, I suspected that Zhao Ben was secretly instructing him that if I ordered the execution of the soldier, Zhao Ben might try to dissuade him... When he was constantly interrupted, he would be in trouble, so he would just take advantage of his unpreparedness. Even if Zhao Ben deliberately stopped him, it would be too late."

"Yes." Le Yi nodded, but added: "But it's really dangerous."

While they were talking, Wu Ying, Xiang Liao and others had already surrounded him and asked Meng Zhong about the next arrangements.

Meng Zhong thought for a while and said, "You stay with these soldiers first. I will go to see Yang Wenjun to see if there are any vacant military camps nearby that can be used by my Xinwei."

"What about that corpse? How to deal with it?" Le Jin asked.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong looked down at the blood on his left hand, and his expression was a little dazed, just because after killing four soldiers from Teng Kingdom on the battlefield of Teng Kingdom, his hands were stained with blood again.

"Don't think too much."

Le Yi seemed to see Meng Zhong’s thoughts and comforted him after hearing this: “In that case, you can only do that…”

"Um."

Meng Zhong nodded slightly and instructed his companions, "Find a place to bury him, I'll go see Yang Wenjun first."

At the same time, Zhao Ben has returned to the handsome tent of Yangwenjun Zhao Bao.

When Zhao Ben walked into the tent, Zhao Bao was lying on the straw couch, squinting his eyes, making a few snoring sounds.

Seeing this, Zhao Ben called softly: "Junhou?Junhou?"

“Hmm?”

After Zhao Ben called out several times one after another, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao woke up from his nap. After yawning with alcohol, he asked casually: "Did that kid... successfully surrender those 500 soldiers?"

"Submit." Zhao Ben nodded and said.

Hearing this, Zhao Bao's eyes flashed with a few traces of light, and he sat up on the straw couch and said, "How did that kid do it? Tell me."

Seeing this, Zhao Ben told Yangwenjun Zhao Bao a lot of things about Meng Zhong’s subjugation of the 500 soldiers. He heard a few strange colors flashing in Zhao Bao’s eyes, and murmured: “Are those two boxes of wealth actually used to imitate Shang Jun’s ‘City Gate-standing Wood’?”

Yes, when Zhao Bao brought Meng Zhong to the military camp today, Meng Zhong and his group brought a chariot, which carried two wooden boxes full of wealth.

At first, Zhao Bao thought that Meng Zhong simply used it to buy soldiers, so he didn't care much, but he didn't expect that what Meng Zhong wanted to "bribe" was not the morale of the five hundred soldiers, but the "trust" between the "Xinwei" - this alone proved that Meng Zhong had read military books and knew the most critical things in the army.

Seeing that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao was stroking his beard and not speaking, Zhao Ben said with shame: "Although I secretly instructed several soldiers to deliberately make things difficult for him, he easily resolved it... I saw that things were not violated, so I did nothing more. Please punish the Lord."

"No, your judgment is correct."

Zhao Bao raised his hand and said, "It's not that we're not making things difficult for us, but that kid is skillful and can just reply to Zhao Cheng like this, which can be considered as an explanation to him. As for the kid Meng Zhong... I have known countless people in my life, and this son is not simple, and he has gained the trust of his master's father, so it's better not to offend him."

As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You have never seen the fact that the soldiers were trying to make things difficult for him?"

Zhao Ben dared not hide it and said truthfully: "One of the soldiers was killed by Meng Zhong, but the rest of the soldiers... haven't given me like that boy yet. However, I always feel that he has guessed..."

"I guess it if I guess." Zhao Bao stroked his beard and said lightly: "That kid is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and will not bite him. As long as I have no subsequent disturbance, even if the other soldiers confessed to him that it was your secret instruction, he would pretend not to know..."

As he was talking, a guard suddenly reported outside the tent: "June, Sima Mengzhong, Xinwei, ask for a meeting."

Looking at Zhao Ben, Zhao Bao smiled and said, "Let him come in."

After a while, Meng Zhong walked into the handsome tent.

At this time, Yangwenjun Zhao Bao had already lying back on the straw couch. Seeing Meng Zhong walk into the tent, he glanced at the latter sideways and said in an unknown tone: "Boy, I heard from Zhao Ben that you are very powerful just now. You dare to kill the soldiers led by me to establish your authority..."

Meng Zhong clasped his fists and said, "The situation was critical at that time, so I could only find a way to control the situation. Zhao Junzuo could also testify about this matter. It is really a matter of necessity. I hope you will forgive me."

"Is that true?" Zhao Bao asked Zhao Ben on purpose.

Zhao Ben looked at Zhao Bao, then at Meng Zhong, his heart moved slightly, and he nodded immediately and said, "Yes."

"Oh..." Zhao Bao nodded when he heard this and said casually: "Since that's the case, I won't mention this matter."

Of course, Meng Zhong understood what Zhao Bao meant, which was nothing more than "Zhao Ben secretly instigated the soldiers to stop him." He Meng Zhong was not allowed to pursue the matter again, and Zhao Bao did not pursue Meng Zhong's killing and establishing his authority in his military camp. They took a step back and turned swords into jade.

Meng Zhong certainly would not refuse Zhao Bao's "hint". After all, he didn't want to make a big fuss with Yangwenjun Zhao Bao because of that little thing. He led the Xinwei Chujian and had to ask for help from Zhao Bao, such as the military camp, military equipment, etc.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Yang Wenjun, for being magnanimous."

Seeing Meng Zhong's hint, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao laughed, looked at Meng Zhong and nodded and said, "Boy, you are very good..." After that, he returned to his previous casual sleeping position and asked, "You are here to see me this time, because you killed a soldier, right?"

This is to repay the favor. Seeing this, Meng Zhong naturally proposed what he wanted: "That's right, I believe that Wei Chu is established, but there is no military camp to station. I wonder if Yang Wenjun has an empty military camp in his hands?"

"So that's what happened."

Zhao Bao nodded and said, "There are no vacant military camps, but I can send someone to build one for you. It's just a 500-person military camp, and it will be completed in a few days."

"Then I'll thank Yang Wenjun."

After some politeness, Meng Zhong offered to say goodbye.

Watching Meng Zhong walk out of the tent, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao said to Zhao Ben: "Look, this kid knows how to advance or retreat?"

"really."

Zhao Ben nodded, then couldn't help but frown and said, "However, the relationship between this son and Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buluo is quite worrying..."

"That's right." Zhao Bao also stroked his beard and pondered. Then, he looked at the tent and sighed: "I hope this guy doesn't make a mistake. I really optimistic about him..."

On that day, Le Yi, Wu Ying, Xiang Liao, Meng Sui and others led the 500 soldiers to stay in the military camp of Zhao Bao, Yangwenjun. After the latter sent people to build a new camp for Xinwei, they would evacuate from the military camp. Meng Zhong, with Meng Hu and Meng Sui, returned to Handan to report to Zhao's father.

However, when Meng Zhong returned to the palace where Zhao Zhufu was temporarily living in the palace, he unexpectedly found that Zhao Zhufu was receiving two guests personally.

I saw these two guests, one of whom was probably about forty or fifty years old, wearing a soap-green robe and a black and white feather on his crown, dressed in a strange way.

The other one was a young man who was about twenty years old, but what he wore seemed to be the armor of Zhao State.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong secretly praised the origins of these two people.

At this time, Zhao's father also saw Meng Zhong and said with a smile: "Meng Zhong, come and pay homage. This is a wise man from Chu, "Heng (hé) Guanzi", and you Taoist wise man. Now as a guest minister by my side, I have just returned to Handan from the letter."

"The crown of the storm?"

Meng Zhong thought about it carefully, but felt that he had never heard of it.

However, since he was a Taoist wise man, Meng Zhong naturally still followed the etiquette of his juniors and said respectfully: "Meng Zhong, I have met his seniors."

Seeing that Meng Zhong, the young man, actually called himself a junior, the old man named Wu Guanzi showed a little surprise on his face. He turned to look at Master Zhao and asked, "Master Zhao, I don't know if this little friend is..."

Master Zhao then smiled and introduced on Meng Zhong, "This son is the disciple of Master Zhuang of Song State, Meng Zhong."

"It's indeed a great disciple of Zhuangzi!"

I heard that Meng Zhong was actually a disciple of Zhuangzi. Feng Guanzi's eyes lit up and his expression became more close. After all, they were Taoist disciples.

Immediately, he introduced the young man beside him and said, "This is my disciple, both Taoist disciples. You two might as well get closer in the future."

As he was talking, the young man also hugged Meng Zhong and clapped his fists.

"In Xia Pang Nuan."
