Zhao Hanguo was sitting in the study, holding a volume of "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand. He was wearing a plain gown, with a smile on his face. The two maids "Yin and Yang" who usually waited on him were not around.
It looks a little less graceful and luxurious than before, and a little more gentle and elegant, a scholar's temperament.
"Prime Minister, we never thought that Xiang'er would be rescued by Yan Zhuo. Who would have thought that someone could snatch two women away from thousands of troops." Lu Daoyuan knelt on the ground and said timidly.
"It's rude, that's our princess from Jiangzuo, there are no rules. Ba Xian, didn't you say that Bai Buchou has already cleaned up Yan Zhuo and the others?" Zhao Hanguo didn't look at his two subordinates when he spoke, he only read a book.
His expression was still gentle, but there was a hint of knocking in his words.
A person like Zhao Hanguo will never have an angry look on his face. He prides himself on being extremely well-educated and pays great attention to his "gentleman" style. As a gentleman, how can he endure the mud and dirty water of the world and splash into it?
On top of the white robe of one's own morality.
Xu Baxian stood and said: "Bai Buchou said that Yan Zhuo, Bai Buchou and others had all fallen to the ground at that time, and he did not check their breath. Prime Minister, there is something wrong with my subordinates. He does not kill those who are unable to fight back.
, so maybe those people just fainted at that time."
Zhao Hanguo turned a page of the Zuo Zhuan in his hand and slowly said: "Celebrating the death of my father, Lu is still in trouble."
When he said this, his voice was very soft, as if a teacher was teaching his beloved disciple and solving his doubts.
"I understand the humble position."
Beads of sweat were already oozing from Xu Baxian's nose. Although Xiang Guo said these words softly, they were as heavy as a mountain on Xu Baxian's heart. The meaning of this sentence is
: Unless Qingfu dies, the chaos in Lu will not stop.
The meaning of this sentence is obvious, someone is going to die. But the question is who is Qingfu, Yanzhuo, Xiang'er, or Bai Buchou?
This requires Xu Baxian to realize on his own. When working under a person like Zhao Hanguo, in addition to being loyal, you also have to guess his thoughts at all times. Things do not necessarily have to be done right, but they must satisfy him.
"Ba Xian, you go down first."
"It's the Prime Minister."
Seeing Xu Baxian walk out of the room, Lu Daoyuan said: "Xu Baxian did not do things well and did not apologize to the Prime Minister. He really does not take you seriously."
Zhao Hanguo turned another page of the Zuo Zhuan in his hand and said: "The auxiliary car depends on each other, but the lips are dead and the teeth are cold."
Beating, the same beating as Xu Baxian.
Lu Daoyuan immediately smiled and said: "Master Xiang, Lao Xu has a straight temper, but his loyalty to the Prime Minister is on par with mine."
Zhao Hanguo read the book and seemed to turn a deaf ear to what Lu Daoyuan just said: "How is the matter that Di Jingfeng did? Did Luo Ao agree?"
Lu Daoyuan tugged at the waist of his trousers and said excitedly: "The prime minister is wise, Di Jingfeng has already done the work, and Luo Ao has agreed. With Luo Ao's agreement, the next thing will be easier to handle."
"Well, I will send someone to Xishu these days. I will tell you that Emperor Jiangzuo has heard for a long time that Emperor Ji of Xishu is virtuous and virtuous. He wants to make peace with your country and have the same heart. The two countries in the south and south of the Yangtze River can unite and control the north of the Yangtze River.
.”
"Yes, Prime Minister is wise." Lu Daoyuan bowed deeply to Zhao Hanguo.
"You go down too, I forgot what I said."
Lu Daoyuan was stunned and said respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister."
Prime Minister, don't let me forget anything? Lu Daoyuan started to wonder as soon as he left the house. The Prime Minister only said two sentences. I can still remember these two sentences. What did the Prime Minister tell me?
"We are dependent on each other, but our lips are dead and our teeth are cold." Is there something in this sentence? Doesn't it mean that Xu Ba and I should establish a good relationship first? Who do the Prime Minister and Xu Ba first want to get rid of when they say, "We will celebrate our father's death but we will be in trouble"?
Is it to get rid of Bai Buchou? If it is to get rid of Bai Buchou, then does it mean that the prime minister wants me to get rid of Xu Baxian? Thinking of this, Lu Daoyuan's face has become extremely gloomy.

In Yinglongcheng, Mr. Zhao has sold the resold rice at a high price. He has more than ten taels of silver in his pocket, which makes him extremely wealthy. With the money, his son has been promoted to the orthodox position. There is no one in Yinglongcheng who is better than him today.
Are you a happy person? When he thinks of this, Mr. Zhao can't help but straighten his back when walking. Even when he smokes a dry cigarette, his energy is many times greater than usual.
"I don't know what happened to the young man Mu Yunfeng. I need to talk to him. Xianglan is a good girl. She would be at a loss if she promised to others, especially the Yan Hezhuo next to Mu Yunfeng. His face is so pale.
I don’t have a few years to live. Hey, I have to remember that when the time comes, I have to let Mu Yunfeng go to see Xianglan alone. If I bring that pretty boy with me, who knows what will happen? "
Uncle Zhao thought about it, knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, put out the fire, and walked quickly towards the inn.
In the inn, Zhao Dahu knocked on the door of Yan Zhuo and Mu Yunfeng's room first. As soon as he entered the door, he helped them pack their luggage without saying a word, and took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Mu Yunfeng's hand.
inside.
"Brother Zhao, what's going on?" Mu Yunfeng held the silver with a puzzled look on his face, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"Stop asking, take the girl you rescued and leave quickly!"
Yan Zhuo asked: "Did the Silver Sword Guard issue the order to arrest us?"
Zhao Dahu nodded and said: "I'm sorry, brothers, I can't help you with anything."
Mu Yunfeng was even more confused and asked: "Ah, we brought the princess back to you, and you still want to arrest me. What's the point?"
"Brother Mu, stop talking. Baiyun Villa has already fallen to the dynasty." Yan Zhuo said this, packing up things in an orderly manner in his hands, "Brother Zhao, I will never thank you for your kindness. We will see you later."
After saying that, Yanzhuo grabbed Mu Yunfeng and Xiang'er and left.
As soon as the three of them walked to the street, a group of Silver Sword Guards came towards them on horseback. The group of Silver Sword Guards saw that Yan Zhuo and his party, two men and one woman, were similar to the description on the wanted order, so they wanted to investigate.
"Run!"
Yan Zhuo said to Mu Yunfeng and Xiang'er behind him, and a flying swallow dart was released from his hand.
biu~
If the escort goes away, the person will die.
The leading Silver Sword Guard covered his neck and fell off his horse, causing chaos in the lively market.
Yan Zhuo and others took advantage of the chaos and ran back.
And the team of Silver Sword Guards did not care about the people in front of them and rushed to chase them.
Yan Zhuo and others ran all the way, but unexpectedly met Mr. Zhao at the other end of the long street.
When Uncle Zhao saw Mu Yunfeng running toward him, he thought that the child was missing him after not seeing him for a few days. He was moved in his heart and secretly made up his mind to accept him as his godson and find a marriage for him. But in an instant, he saw Mu again.
Behind Yunfeng, a group of Silver Sword Guards came on horseback. Although they didn't know what was going on, they could tell that the Silver Sword Guards were coming towards Mu Yunfeng and the others.
"Old Uncle Zhao, get out of the way." Mu Yunfeng shouted at Old Uncle Zhao, and his body was already flying past Old Uncle Zhao like an arrow from a string.
When Uncle Zhao saw Mu Yunfeng flee in panic, and saw the Silver Sword Guards approaching on horseback, without saying a word, he picked up the vegetable basket from the vendor next to him and threw it at the Silver Sword Guards.
"My son is Zhao Dahu, the ruler of Yinglong City. I will pay you for this dish later."
While Mr. Zhao was talking, a large frame of radishes and cabbages was thrown at the team of silver sword guards. The silver armor guards were confused for a moment and thought that an expert was using a hidden weapon to attack them.
Seeing the panic of the Silver Sword Guards, Uncle Zhao felt secretly proud. He turned around and picked up the vegetable basket at hand and said: "Give me the carrots too. I will pay you. My son Yinglong City is the ruler of the capital, Zhao Da..."
…”
This time, before Mr. Zhao could finish speaking, a long sword had penetrated his chest from behind.
Scarlet blood dripped on the fresh carrots, and a smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of carrots spread throughout the street market.
