The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 317 The Empress's Welcome, Huayin's Trip

Baosi and Zhao Feiyan didn't see Liu Bian for a long time and sent someone to let them go to the city. Afraid of Liu Bian's accident, Zhao Feiyan rushed to the city to find Liu Bian.

She could only send a guard into the city to check the situation. She was also very anxious, but she couldn't make a mess, otherwise it would destroy Liu Bian's arrangement.

Just now a group of warriors passed by outside the woods where they were resting, Bao Si and the others took advantage of the dark sky to hide there.They couldn't see who they were, they only saw that each of them was armed and equipped with two horses. If it was Wei Zheng and the others, there were too few people. Bao Si guessed that it was probably the armed forces in Huayin City.

At this time, she was even more anxious, and every minute of extra time made him worry about Liu Bian's situation.Liu Bian should really be persuaded, and Bao Si fell into self-blame.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground, several guards called the people to hide, and two guards hid behind the trees to check.

I saw a group of cavalry in golden armor rushing forward holding torches, followed by no less than hundreds of cavalry and three carriages.

It was the cavalry from the Overwatch Council who came, and the two stepped forward to stop the cavalry and told them about Bao Si and Zhao Feiyan's situation in the woods.

Two people got on and off the first carriage, but no one came out from the two carriages behind.The two were Wei Zheng's deputy Liang Guan and Chang Cheng'en. Bao Si was very puzzled when he didn't see Wei Zheng.

After the two bowed down, Chang Cheng'en said, "Your Majesty, after hearing what happened in Huayin, Mr. Wei led a cavalry team in plain clothes to go first, and I will lead a large army to follow behind. How do you know that it is twenty miles away from here?" , Mr. Wei was wounded by a musket, I was late, please punish me!"

After speaking, the two knelt down again, not daring to get up.

At this time, the queen's aura was in full swing, Bao Si said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty has already entered Huayin City with three guards, and I don't know about his situation at this time. You follow me into the city to escort you."

When the two heard that Liu Bian entered Huayin City with only three guards, they felt as if they were struck by lightning. If Liu Bian was in danger, they and others might die.

Liang Guan hurriedly asked Chang Chengen to lead the cavalry into the city to escort him, while he himself left a team of cavalry to protect Baosi into the city.

The gate of Huayin City was destroyed by Liu Bian. At this time, some guards were still repairing it. When they saw a troop of cavalry galloping, the captain who led the team was about to speak when he saw someone throwing a token and shouting. : "Chang Cheng'en, Deputy Supervisory Censor of the Overwatch Council, entered the city, retreat quickly!"

Before the captain checked the token, the cavalry rushed into the city and headed straight for the prefect's mansion.

Bao Si asked people to arrange the people and left a troop of cavalry to protect them, so he and Zhao Feiyan came to the prefect's mansion in a carriage.

I saw a lot of dead bodies in the prefect's mansion, and the body of a guard was put aside alone, and there were still a few unpacked muskets on the ground.She staggered and was supported by Zhao Feiyan and the maid beside her.

Zhou Bo knelt down and bowed: "I greet you, Your Majesty is fine. I went to Zhao's house. Lord Chang has already led the cavalry to escort him."

"Why don't you two stay by His Majesty's side all the time?" Bao Si looked at Zhou Bo coldly and said.

Zhou Bo knew that Bao Si had a good temper. In the past, if a maid made a mistake, she would be punished lightly if she only asked to be in front of the empress.My wife is still the coal that the queen empress said, and the empress empress is really angry at this time.

Zhou Bo told Bao Si about everything that happened after entering the city. After hearing Zhou Bo's explanation, Bao Si drew out the long knife of the guard beside him: "Strictly guard all the people in the hall, and Liang Guan led the Qingqi to follow the front of the palace. Go find your majesty!"

Wei Zheng was taken care of by an imperial doctor, so he was fine.Originally, Wei Zheng was afraid that Liu Bian and Bao Si would be in danger, so he went to the imperial doctor to be prepared, but he didn't expect to save his life.

Inside the Zhao Mansion, Liu Bian was sitting in the main hall, Zhao Ju was treating his wounds, an old man came out from the back hall with several people, and he bowed his hands when he saw him: "My lord, Zhao Ju doesn't understand the rules, please don't Take it to heart."

"Who are you?"

The old man bowed again and said: "This old man is Zhao Keng, the head of the Zhao family, and these few are the elders of my Zhao family."

Several people also cupped their hands to argue with Liu about their luggage, and ordered the servants to serve tea.

Liu Bian was not afraid of their poisoning. After beating for a long time just now, he was really thirsty, so he drank a cup of tea and said, "Zhao Ju promised me to give me gold and silver treasures, and asked me to pick three women from your house Concubine. Do you recognize it or not?"

"As long as your lord is willing to let my Zhao family go, my Zhao family will definitely serve you in the future, and your lord will also know that we are related to the current Taiwei, and your lord's official career will be smooth in the future." Zhao Keng said flatteringly.

Liu Bian sneered: "Just relying on the concubine of the Taiwei's son can make the Taiwei submit? How dare you lie to me!"

At this time, Liu Bian resorted to a strong medicine, trying to defraud the Zhao family's real backer.At the same time, he was secretly on guard to prevent someone from sniping in the dark.

Zhao Keng said with a smile: "Don't believe me, my lord. Although she is only a concubine of the Taiwei's son, she has caught Shi Hui's handle. Shi Hui is deeply loved by Shi Xie, so she can naturally contribute to your lord."

"What's the reason?" Liu Bian continued to ask.

Zhao Keng waved his hand and said: "It's better not to know, sir. My Zhao family is afraid of you. The Tingwei Mansion is not afraid of you. Knowing too much is not good for you."

Naturally, he would not tell Liu Bian the details of Shi Hui, so that Liu Bian could abandon the Zhao family and establish a relationship with the Tingwei Mansion. In that way, no matter whether it was Liu Bian who handed them over to him, he would do a lot of credit.Or if the Tingwei Mansion learned of the scandal of the Zhao family disseminating the badges, the Zhao family could only end up annihilated.

Only when Liu Bian was hanged by Tingwei's mansion as a big backer, Liu Bian dared not report what the Zhao family did, so that he would have time to deal with Liu Bian.

Zhao Ju has paid for all the warriors in the mansion who are good at using muskets. Now there are still a few muskets in the mansion, but no one can use them skillfully.

Although the use of muskets was not complicated, but he was afraid of Liu Bian's martial arts, and he did not dare to do it lightly. Once the matter was revealed, the Zhao family still could not escape death.

Zhao Keng said treacherously: "It's getting late today, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and I also ask you to show your face. After the banquet, please stay at Zhao's house to rest, so that we can discuss how to deal with this matter. Let someone pack up the gold and silver treasures, and then let the daughter of the Zhao family accept the teachings of the adults, so that I can go to Chang'an tomorrow to meet Mr. Shihui."

Looking at Zhao Keng's mean expression, he sold his daughter just like that, Liu Bian really wanted to kill him with a knife, these aristocratic families are the most ruthless, they keep saying that they have read the sage books, know the books and reason, but do nothing. doing dirty things.

Killing people's lives behind the scenes, humiliating their wives and daughters has been done a lot, and they have caused disasters in the village for hundreds of years, relying on having a backer in the court and a knife in their hands, even if the dynasty changes, it is difficult to shake their status.

The industrialization reforms they have implemented have directly led to the loss of control over the land and food they rely on to control the people. They will definitely oppose it. Before that, some of the overly arrogant aristocratic families blatantly opposed it, and they have been slashed by Fang Xuanling and Wang Anshi With the blade, now the smart ones have turned to the secret confrontation.
