Chapter 168 The thunder that strikes him is on the way
"Are you really a guiding light? I think you want to lead me into a pit!"

Gu Linqiao snorted coldly and refused to acknowledge his identity.

Zhao Liquan also snorted, "Since you don't believe me, why come to me?"

Gu Linqiao said seriously, "It's just a matter of having sex with you. It's okay for me to stay up late when I'm young and strong, but you are old after all. Staying up all night means losing three days of your life. If you stay up a few more days, you will die." , how nice and saves trouble!”

Zhao Liquan tapped her with his chopsticks, "You have such a vicious heart!"

Gu Linqiao snorted, "If I really have a poisonous heart, I will poison you to death without you noticing."

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Zhao Liquan's attitude was more arrogant than hers.

Gu Linqiao quickly searched for useful information from this sentence, "You also know about poisons?"

Zhao Liquan hummed again, "What do you think?"

Gu Linqiao suddenly raised his eyes and looked at his row of bookshelves, "Those are not given to you by others, are they all your own?"

Zhao Liquan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "It's not mine, how can I give it to you so easily?"

Gu Linqiao stood up suddenly and grabbed Zhao Liquan's collar, "Zhao Liquan, who are you?"

……

In the front hall, Zhao Ying and Feng Yunsu were sitting face to face. Zhao Ying poured tea for Feng Yunsu and said, "I was supposed to go to the Gu family to express my gratitude to you, but I didn't expect to bother His Highness King Qi to go there again." .”

Feng Yunsu said in a calm tone, "It doesn't matter. I have been very free recently and want to walk around."

Zhao Ying blindly guessed that she didn't want to go anywhere else, so she just wanted to visit Zhao's house.

"The emperor summoned his ministers today."

After Zhao Ying finished speaking, Feng Yunsu said, "Master Zhao is the leader of the court. It is normal for the emperor to summon him to discuss state affairs."

Zhao Yingdao said, “This time we are not discussing state affairs.”

"Oh?"

Feng Yunsu pretended to be stupid, "What's that for?"

Zhao Yingdao said, "The emperor wants to grant a marriage to a minor minister. It is the girl that His Highness King Qi mentioned."

"The granddaughter of Zuo Shangshu's family."

Feng Yun smiled solemnly, "I didn't expect that this king's first matchmaking was successful. Mr. Zhao, my father personally granted me a marriage and made this girl your official wife. Are you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ying immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qi. I am very satisfied."

Feng Yunsu said with a smile, "As long as you are satisfied, sit down quickly. I am just chatting with Mr. Zhao about home affairs. There is no need to worry about etiquette."

Although Zhao Ying agreed, she still bowed respectfully before taking a seat.

Feng Yunsu looked at him and asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

His plan was to carry out the gossip to the end and focus on Zhao Ying's personal affairs.

"Everything is decided by the emperor and then chosen by the Sun family."

After the last torture, Zhao Ying has become accustomed to it. He answers whatever is asked, and the answers are very official. Everything is based on the emperor. The Zhao family has no opinions and is very aware of current affairs.

When Feng Yunsu heard this standard answer, he couldn't help but admire Zhao Ying. If it weren't for his different stance, he would still admire this person.

He is truly capable of literature and martial arts, capable of bending and stretching.

After being interrogated by Feng Yunsu, Zhao Ying took the initiative to ask, "How is His Highness King Qi's health now?"

Feng Yunsu said in a calm tone, "As you can see, he won't die yet."

"Princess Qi is indeed very skilled in medicine." Zhao Ying changed the subject and asked, "Is there a proper solution to the matter of poisoning people?" Feng Yun said solemnly, "The matter of poisoning people is under the control of the imperial court, and the princess What's the point?"

Zhao Ying asked doubtfully, "Didn't the emperor ask the princess to see the poisonous man?"

Feng Yunsu gave him a flat look, "You and I have seen this too, can Mr. Zhao take care of this matter?"

Zhao Ying shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry for my incompetence. I really don't understand medical skills."

Feng Yunsu didn't answer, but the implication was self-evident.

Seeing that he was displeased, Zhao Ying stopped talking about the poisonous people. He changed the topic and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qi, I have recently received news that Damu is trying to make a move, fearing that it will be detrimental to our court."

Damu?

Feng Yunsu instantly thought of Yu Wenmo, who was still living in the Gu family.

He said expressionlessly, "Really? Only Lord Zhao has received this news, I really don't know."

Zhao Yingdao said, "Wei Chen has informed the emperor of this news, and the emperor asked Wei Chen to continue to monitor the Damu Kingdom. If Damu is not good for our country, I am afraid the war will start again."

Feng Yunsu didn't panic at all and said calmly, "Master Zhao leads the troops well. He is not called a god general for nothing. I believe Master Zhao should be able to resolve this matter."

Hearing this, Zhao Ying said, "If the court needs a minor minister, it is his duty to be a minor minister. But a few days ago, my father sent me a letter. He was seriously injured in a surprise attack. I was afraid that the enemy troops on the border would take the opportunity to sneak attack. I have written to the emperor to order me to come forward." To aid.”

Feng Yunsu paused his fingers slightly and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying said word by word, "Your Highness, King Qi, Damu is coming this time with such ferocity that ordinary people may not be able to contain it."

Feng Yunsu said in a sharp tone, "What do you want to say?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is brave and mighty..."

Before Zhao Ying could finish what he said, Feng Yunsu said, "I will obey my father's instructions on this matter."

Zhao Ying nodded, "The emperor has the final say on all major affairs of the imperial court. However, His Highness, Prince Qi, must fight for the right to lead the army."

Feng Yunsu looked at him puzzled, "Why?"

Zhao Ying asked, "Your Highness, you really don't know why?"

Feng Yunsu shook his head, and Zhao Ying asked again, "Then why do you think the emperor favors my father and son from the Zhao family?"

"Of course, you and your son led the army bravely, and they have always lived up to the holy will."

Feng Yunsu spoke in official language, but Zhao Ying shook his head, "This is not the main reason. There is no one available in the court, so the emperor has no choice but to entrust the border to my father and son."

Feng Yunsu frowned, "With all the civil and military officials in the court, how can there be no one available?"

"In the past few years, the imperial court has valued civil servants over military officers. Doesn't Your Highness know that?"

Zhao Ying told the truth, "I'm sorry for overstepping my bounds, but if we don't pay attention to the troubles of the Damu Kingdom, the people of our country will definitely suffer. And looking around, I really can't find a suitable general to go to the border of Damu." Soldiers are okay on paper, but actual combat is ever-changing. If generals are not carefully selected, the lives of soldiers will be wasted."

Feng Yun said solemnly, "How do you know that this king is not just talking on paper?"

Zhao Ying smiled lightly and said, "I don't know about anything else, but at least His Highness King Qi will not treat the common people as a mob."

"I feel that you are digging a hole for me, but you refuse to admit it. You also use the name of doing good for the people in the court so that I cannot refute."

Seeing Feng Yunsu's vigilant look, Zhao Ying said, "It's all for the common people of the Great Northern Dynasty. How can there be any pitfalls?"

Feng Yunsu said quietly, "Master Zhao, if you lie, you will be struck by lightning from the sky."

Zhao Ying smiled and said nothing. The thunder that struck him might be on the way, but he was not afraid.
