Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-six years ago
bsp;Listening to the complaints of all his subordinates, Zhao Jundu finally said: "Okay, it's useless to talk more. After all, a general in the army died in my hands, and they have to show something, otherwise how can they convince the public?"
A general said: "Oh! If the Fourth Young Master had been more ruthless and killed all those guys, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Zhao Jundu smiled faintly and said: "In troubled times, it is necessary to scare the villains, but it would be wrong to kill on a large scale, and it will not be beneficial to the overall situation."
As soon as Zhao Jundu opened his mouth, the generals could not say anything more. One of them was still unwilling to give up and muttered: "Mr. Cheng'en is not so easy to talk to!"
In the novel area of the core area of the Unfallen City, in a large house kept by the Zhao family, Zhao Weihuang, who was dressed in battle armor, walked through many corridors, came to a pavilion near the water, and pushed the door open.
Princess Gaoyi sat by the window. When she heard the door open, she didn't turn her head. She just looked at the pool outside the window.
Zhao Weihuang sat down opposite her, smiling a bit.
Gaoyi poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, put down the cup and looked out the window. From the beginning to the end, she never glanced at Zhao Weihuang. Zhao Weihuang wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but found that there was only one teacup on the table. Looking around the room, he could not find a second cup. He had no choice but to cough dryly and take his hand back.
Gaoyi held the tea cup and looked out the window, as if he could sit like this for a lifetime.
The quieter she was, the more restless Zhao Weihuang became. At this moment, how can he still look like a powerful man in Western Xinjiang? Not to mention that he was once expected to replace Lin Xitang and take charge of the overall situation of suppressing the rebels on the Western Front.
"Um, hehe" Zhao Weihuang still couldn't help but speak. It's just that after hehe, Gao Yi didn't respond at all and stuffed all his subsequent words into his stomach, so after hehe, there was still only hehe.
Zhao Weihuang laughed for a long time, and finally even Gaoyi couldn't stand it anymore. He glared at him fiercely and said: "Rogue!"
Zhao Weihuang immediately put on a smile and saluted: "Thankfully, my wife is here this time, otherwise, I don't know what to do."
Facing Duke Chengen's shamelessness, Gao Yi was really helpless. He gave him another hard look and said, "If it weren't for Jundu Ruoxi, do you think I would take care of this mess?"
"That's it, that's it!"
Gao Yi sighed softly and said, "That kid is bold and impulsive, but he looks just like you."
Zhao Weihuang immediately looked a little embarrassed and said: "I was just like this when I was young"
Gao Yi snorted and said, "But Qianye, that child is very affectionate, loyal and single-minded. This is much better than someone else."
Zhao Weihuang was very embarrassed and just laughed, not knowing what to say.
Gaoyi put down his tea cup and said: "This time the matter was too big, and those people were really outrageous, so I came here. But this matter is just the beginning now, and all I can do is to keep the imperial family out of it. Then you What are you going to do?"
As soon as he mentioned military and state affairs, Zhao Weihuang straightened his body immediately, his domineering aura arose spontaneously, and said in a deep voice: "Since those **** in the military want Jundu to go over and listen, then I will let Jundu go. It's just that it's easy to send people over, but it's not so easy to send them back. Since Jundu is not on the front line, the defense area he is responsible for will be left to the people in the military department. I want to see how long they can support it!"
"Aren't you afraid that Cointreau will suffer in their hands?"
Zhao Weihuang laughed, his laughter piercing the cracked gold and stone, and then said: "If they dare to touch a single hair of Jundu, I will beat the yolk out of that old guy!"
Gao Yi frowned slightly and said angrily: "Vulgar! You are always so bold and reckless, regardless of the consequences. This is a major military matter!"
Zhao Weihuang first sneered, "I have never seen those people take military and national affairs seriously, and their heads are full of dirty things. Since they want to cause trouble, then I will simply let them do it. Great! If they can, they will defend the Jundu line. I want to see how good they are on the battlefield! I miss you."
When he was so angry, Zhao Weihuang suddenly saw Princess Gaoyi's half-smiling expression, like a cat that had a glass of water poured on her head. Her arrogance immediately disappeared, and she smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, I did do that back then. He did a lot of stupid things."
"Is it just a stupid thing?" Gao Yi asked.
Zhao Weihuang suddenly felt a headache. No matter how he answered such questions, he would be wrong. He kept rubbing his hands and making love for a long time, but nothing came out.
Fortunately, Princess Gaoyi did not intend to embarrass him too much, and said calmly: "Qianye is quite a good kid. He saved Ruoxi back then, and now he has saved Jundu. Even I like him quite a lot. But this is very good, it refers to the person. I don’t think Qianye’s talent is inferior to Jundu, how can it be described as very good? So, now I am very curious, what kind of person is his mother? Give birth to such a child."
Zhao Weihuang's face turned green and white, and he stopped even heying. He held his breath and stared at the three-thirds of the land in front of him, as if there was some rare treasure buried there.
Gao Yi smiled faintly and said: "Ruoxi's child has been a little strange recently. As a father, you should also pay more attention to her and stop focusing on the battlefield in Western Xinjiang all day long. If I hadn't come this time In time, I'm afraid Manshu Shahua will be blasted out."
Zhao Weihuang was shocked: "Is there such a thing?"
Gao Yi sighed and said no more.
Zhao Weihuang stood up immediately and said, "No, I have to go talk to that little girl!"
After saying that, without waiting for Gaoyi's reply, Zhao Weihuang left in a hurry, as if he was fleeing.
In the quiet room, Zhao Ruoxi sat cross-legged on the couch, her face calm and expressionless. Manjushahua was placed in a remote secret room, and three clan elders were responsible for suppressing and guarding it. But now everyone knows that this is just a formality. If Miss Zhao wants to seduce Manshu Shahua, they can't stop her at all.
If you don’t consider the purpose of Miss Zhao’s plan to use Manjushahua, this should be a good thing, indicating that her ability to control Manjushahua has improved again. But now everyone in the house is terrified, fearing that the eldest lady will do something else.
Zhao Weihuang walked into the quiet room, sat in front of Zhao Ruoxi, and said, "Ruoxi, your mother and I both feel the need to talk to you."
Zhao Ruoxi asked without raising her eyes: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Oh, well." Zhao Weihuang started to have a headache again. He was just focused on escaping quickly, but he forgot to ask Zhao Ruoxi what was wrong.
Zhao Ruoxi raised her head, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes, and suddenly said: "Dad, don't come to me to avoid the limelight just because you are afraid of being scolded by your mother."
Zhao Weihuang swayed and almost fell down. Then he felt deeply that he had lost face, and immediately straightened his face, he scolded: "You are so young, what do you know! There is no problem between your mother and me. What will she teach me?"
"Isn't there a problem? But Brother Qianye exists!"
Zhao Weihuang almost fell down again.
He forced himself to sit upright and said seriously: "Ruoxi, you look like you are not young anymore. Qianye and you, Jundu Junhong, and Yuying all get along well. Isn't this great? In addition, Those things happened a long time ago, and they are so complicated that they cannot be explained clearly in one sentence."
But Zhao Ruoxi is obviously not that easy to fool: "If you can't explain it in one sentence, just say a few more words."
At this point, Zhao Weihuang felt that the conversation could no longer go on. He snorted heavily to show his dissatisfaction, then stood up and left the quiet room. After going out, he suddenly remembered that he still hadn't figured out the reason for his daughter's strange behavior.
In the Unfallen City, the imperial military stronghold has been initially rebuilt, and its scale has expanded to the entire block. A large number of craftsmen and soldiers are working day and night to add new buildings. Trucks and various engineering vehicles transporting materials often transport materials. The nearby streets were blocked.
This place was originally a temporary stronghold, but now it has suddenly been expanded on a large scale, involving many nearby aristocratic families, but no one has any objections. Just because the previous person in charge of this place was only a brigadier general, Li Fengshui did not stand on the stage. But it's different now. The one stationed here has been replaced by the former Imperial Marshal.
In the hastily built main building, the old man who had once sniped Qianye stood with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth. A brigadier general next to him was holding a letter and reciting it one by one. Every time he read a letter, the old man's face became a little ugly.
Although the brigadier general can be considered a strong man, as the old man's face gradually darkened, his voice began to tremble. After all, although the old man has resigned from the position of marshal, his strength has not faded much. No matter then or now, Wu Daoyu's name has always been powerful.
After the brigadier general finished reading the letter, Wu Daoyu stopped and said calmly: "Is it over?"
"I've finished reading it."
Wu Daoyu suddenly sneered and said: "Call the people from the Zhao clan in, and I want to ask why they dare to ask me for such conditions!"
The brigadier general flew away, and a moment later, a brigadier general was brought in. The brigadier general looked like he was in his early thirties, with a capable and determined look. After entering the door, he gave Wu Daoyu a military salute, then stood upright like a gun, waiting for Wu Daoyu to ask questions.
Wu Daoyu’s eyes fell on the logo of the Wolf Smoke Legion on the brigadier general’s uniform. He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: “It is said that Duke Cheng’en is good at leading troops. There are many talents in the Wolf Smoke Legion. Now it seems that this statement is true. . What's your name?"
Brigadier General Zhao Clan bowed slightly and said sonorously: "I have a humble position, Zhao Chengyi."
Wu Daoyu narrowed his eyes imperceptibly again and asked: "Your surname is Zhao? Which government are you from?"
"The humble position is currently listed in the Duke of You Kingdom, but it is actually a branch of the Zhao family, not a direct lineage."
A gloomy expression flashed across Wu Daoyu's face, and he said: "Being in Duke Youguo's mansion and serving in the Langyan Army, um, good, very good. I heard that Duke Chengen also came to the Unfallen City, and it was he who sent you Are you here?"
Zhao Chengyi said: "I came here under the official order of Youguo to hold this humble position. It must have been clearly stated in the letter."
Wu Daoyu's face darkened, and the aura as deep as the abyss was released. The aura alone made the two brigadiers pale and shaky. Then he said: "This is strange to me. With Duke You Guo's foresight and foresight, how could he put forward such ridiculous conditions? Could it be that some villains below are playing tricks?"
How can it be easy to bear the pressure of God’s general? Zhao Chengyi's legs made a rattling sound, and he was about to be pressed to his knees.
However, his eyes were wide open, with blood oozing from the corners of his eyes, and he still refused to kneel. Although he couldn't even speak, Zhao Chengyi stared at Wu Daoyu with a sneer on his face, the ridicule in his eyes undisguised.
The corners of Wu Daoyu's eyes twitched, seeing that if he applied pressure again, Zhao Chengyi would be seriously injured on the spot, and he might even die from his injuries. He couldn't really hurt Zhao Chengyi, as that would immediately anger the Zhao clan. Neither Duke Youguo nor Duke Chengen are kind people.
Wu Daoyu calmed down his momentum as soon as his mind moved. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chengyi actually laughed loudly and said loudly: "I'm sorry you don't dare to hurt me here!"
