Chapter 294 Wow, what a shocking piece of news!
Zhao Jingchen rode on a white horse and galloped eastwards. Four secret guards were chasing him relentlessly, throwing hidden weapons in his direction. Before long, the secret guards caught up with him, but the white horse fell to the ground exhausted.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Jingchen quickly turned over and hid under a big tree in the distance, intending to surprise the secret guards. But at this moment, two men in cloaks came from a distance, one wearing a mask and the other wearing a hat. They looked like brothers.
The masked man in the lead walked straight towards the four secret guards, but before the four secret guards could ask who the person was, the other three were killed by the man.
At this time, the man wearing a bamboo hat walked up to Zhao Jingchen and looked at him vaguely. When the man spoke, Zhao Jingchen realized that the person opposite him was a young man. "Zhao Jingchen, right?"
Zhao Jingchen nodded and asked in confusion, "How do you know my name?"
Ji Shuheng chuckled with a cunning look in his eyes, "You don't need to know, just follow me, I will escort you away."
Zhao Jingchen sighed softly when he recalled this. "He escorted me back to Jiangling City and then left. Before leaving, he told me to say goodbye to my family and go to Beijing immediately."
At the same time, a group of elite soldiers from Yuwen State took advantage of the dark night and disguised themselves as a merchant caravan to try to sneak into the imperial city of Yuwen State. The man in the lead rode a black horse, with long golden hair half tied up and a hat covering the upper half of his face. He did not dismount, but leaned over slightly and handed the pass to the guard.
The guard took the pass and opened it, only to see a fifty-liang silver note inside. The guard glanced at the leading man, then curled his lips slightly and quietly put the note into his sleeve. He glanced at the pass casually, then walked to the back of the third two-wheeled carriage, knocked on the wooden box on it that was big enough to hold ten people with the handle of his knife, and then looked at the leading man and asked, "What's in this box?"
The man chuckled and motioned his men to open the box. After the box was opened, it was filled with tea bricks wrapped in oil paper. But what was puzzling was that there was a layer of straw under the tea bricks. The guard suspiciously turned over the straw, but saw that there were still tea bricks underneath, and there was also a layer of straw underneath.
The guard suddenly realized and said, "Moisture-proof?"
The leading man nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
The guard returned the pass to the man and asked, "The teahouses listed on the pass don't need that much tea, right? How much can you sell it for? Gold or silver?"
The man leaned forward slightly to take the pass and replied without hesitation, "It's only a little over a thousand taels of silver at most. These masters are picky this time, and they may not all stay." He sighed heavily after he finished speaking.
The guard frowned for a moment and nodded, saying with emotion, "It's not easy."
After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled them to leave, "Let's go."
The man clasped his fists and bowed, then led the caravan away into the city. Not long after, they arrived at Qiyue Pavilion in a mighty procession.
Seeing Yuwen Songyue walking out of the courtyard, the man chuckled, got off his horse and took off his hat.
The person turned out to be Wu Yisa. Yu Wen Songyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked forward and bowed to Wu Yisa, "I didn't know that the emperor of Wujin Kingdom came here. I hope you won't blame me for not welcoming you."
Wu Yisa raised a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth, and walked forward slowly to help Yuwen Songyue up, his tone was neither salty nor light, and he grasped the demeanor of an emperor just right, "Brother Songyue, there is no need to be polite. I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look the same."
After hearing this, Yuwen Songyue chuckled in a distant tone, "Your Majesty has not changed either."
Wu Yisa sighed with a hint of reproach, "You don't have to call me that. Just call me by my given name."
Yuwen Songyue was surprised but still nodded and said, "Brother Fengming, how have you been these past few years?"
Wu Yisa smiled immediately after hearing this. "Great!" He turned around and clapped his hands vigorously. The next moment, the wooden box on the carriage was opened vigorously from the inside. Soon, more than a dozen soldiers emerged from it. They were wearing armor and had unsheathed scimitars hanging from their waists. All of them were in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Standing together, there were more than 300 people.
Yuwen Songyue's eyes widened as he looked at the scene in disbelief. "This... this..." He turned his head to look at Wu Yisa. "Brother Feng Ming, what are you doing?"
Wu Yisa's lips curled slightly. He did not speak but turned to look at Zhao Jinghua who was walking out of the main hall slowly. Yu Wen Songyue looked back at him, and the next moment he heard Wu Yisa chuckle and say, "Because I am very satisfied with the conditions he offered."
Yuwen Songyue asked in confusion, "What conditions?"
Wu Yisa did not answer but asked Zhao Jinghua with a slight smile, "I have brought all the elite soldiers, what about my business?"
Zhao Jinghua walked up to the two of them with a smile on his face, then nodded slightly to Wu Yisa and said, "Don't worry, I will help you eliminate Liao Guo after the matter is done."
Wu Yisa patted Zhao Jinghua on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "Okay! When do we take action?"
A sinister look flashed across Zhao Jinghua's eyes, and he answered without hesitation, "Tonight." Then he made a mask and put it on his face.
At this time, Wan Sutong was half lying in Zhao Jinghua's arms in the Regent's Mansion, watching the scene after Zhao Jinyao entered Beishan.
In the picture, Zhao Jinyao looked around for a moment and then walked cautiously towards the top of the mountain. Through Zhao Jinyao's perspective, Wan Sutong found that her saplings were growing well, and the leaves were all green. However, when Zhao Jinyao really walked to the top of the mountain, the scene suddenly changed and Zhao Jinyao was standing on a plain, surrounded by smoke.
Just as Wan Sutong was surprised, Zhao Sinian came out of the mist in wedding clothes. He lowered his eyes and said lazily, "Do you know the consequences of trespassing here?"
Seeing this, Zhao Jinyao's pupils suddenly shrank and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Sinian's arm, "My son! You are not dead!"
Zhao Sinian sneered after hearing this, raised his hand and brushed off Zhao Jinyao's hand that was holding his arm, "You are a dignified first-rank prince of Zhao State, but you do such sneaky things." At this point, Zhao Sinian looked at Zhao Jinyao with a little disdain, "No wonder my brother looked at you with such contempt."
Zhao Jinyao looked at Zhao Sinian in surprise, "My son, why do you say that? Has your father ever done anything to let you down?"
Zhao Sinian raised his hand and a throne appeared. He sighed and sat on it, crossing his legs. "You know I saw through you when you stepped in here. You said you were doing this for my own good, but you were just doing it for your own selfish gain. You even thought you would kill me after I ascended the throne. How ridiculous! My father, whom I have always respected, actually wanted to kill me!"
When Zhao Jinyao heard this, he knelt on the ground in despair as if his soul had been taken away.
Zhao Sinian laughed and took the opportunity to speak, "By the way, you may not know yet, Zhao Mingsheng is not my great-grandfather's son, but the eldest son of Emperor Minghua and the former Crown Princess, and you" Zhao Sinian paused for a moment, "are cousins of my royal brother, and I am not your son, but your cousin. According to the ranking, I should be the ninth child."
0533 After hearing this, he shook his head and kept exclaiming, "Tsk tsk tsk, what a shocking news! The father becomes the brother, and the son becomes the cousin."
