Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 21 King Zhao Returns to the Palace
Just when Zhao Wuming was thinking, there was the sound of footsteps.An eunuch came quickly and saluted respectfully: "The villain has seen the fourth son, and the prince has an order. I specially asked the villain to inform the son, and immediately go to the east gate to welcome the king back to the palace."

"Brother wants me to go to the east gate to meet my father?"Zhao Wuming was very puzzled, and turned his gaze to Fan Shun and Qing Que.

Fan Shun seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of joy suddenly appeared on his face: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master."

"happiness?".Zhao Wuming was even more puzzled. In fact, he had a vague aversion to this matter in his heart.

A trace of joy flowed from the corner of Qing Que's mouth, and she looked at Zhao Wuming with a smile: "Young master has not been in front of the king for ten years, so the world has forgotten his existence. This time, welcoming the king should be the first step for the prince to help you." .

"first step?……".Now that Seoul is here, Zhao Wuming doesn't want to get too involved in these things.But seeing the smiles on Qing Que and Fan Shun's faces, he began to hesitate.

Seeing that Zhao Wuming seemed to want to refuse, Qing Que hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, think twice, this is not only the only chance in ten years, it is also the kindness of the prince."

"This matter is beneficial and not harmful to the young master. You don't need to think about it, just go there."Fan Shun also quickly persuaded that this opportunity is not easy to come by, so don't give up easily.

Zhao Wuming pondered, and for some reason, he was very disgusted with the matter of welcoming King Zhao.

The eunuch looked at the sky, and was a little anxious: "I also ask the fourth son to go to the east gate as soon as possible. If we wait, the king will probably enter the city."

"Brother, have they reached the east gate?"Zhao Wuming was tangled in his heart, but he didn't move a step, obviously he didn't want to go there.

The eunuch took a deep breath and calmed down his anxious mood: "When the villain came, the prince, second son, third son and all the officials had been waiting at the east gate for a long time."

"Since they have been waiting for a long time, why did the eldest brother send you to find me?"Zhao Wuming vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this eunuch, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.

The eunuch went down and explained without hesitation: "Because the prince arrived at the east gate, he found that the fourth prince was not there, so he sent a villain to inform the prince."

"My son heard that the father was meeting with the king of Yan at the border of Yanzhao, and calculating the time, he shouldn't have come back so early."Zhao Wuming didn't go directly to the east gate to greet him after getting the answer as Qingque and the others thought, but instead asked the reason.

The eunuch sorted out his thoughts, but he couldn't find the answer: "The villain is just a humble eunuch in the palace, and he doesn't know the reason why the king returned early."

"My lord is very curious, why did the elder brother send a person who is unfamiliar and doesn't understand anything, to come and tell this lord."Zhao Wuming looked directly at the eunuch, and a sense of iron and blood on the battlefield permeated the air.

The eunuch was startled, is this still the cowardly fourth son in the rumors?Maybe it was a mistake for me to come here: "The fourth son Mingjian, when the crown prince found out that the fourth son was not there, the villain happened to be by his side. That's why I asked the villain to come and tell the son."

"Doctor Fan, do you know the news of my father's return?"Zhao Wuming looked at Fan Shun with questioning eyes.

Fan Shun seemed to be obedient at this time. It turned out that the son was suspicious of the eunuch: "The villain heard the news about the king's return yesterday. This matter should not be fake."

"Since the father has returned, you should go to the east gate and report to the crown prince, and say that my son will arrive soon."Zhao Wuming heard Fan Shun's reply, and immediately ordered the eunuch.For some reason, I always vaguely reject this matter in my heart.

The eunuch heard Zhao Wuming let him go first, and quickly pointed behind him: "When the prince came, he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the fourth son to travel, so he specially asked the villain to prepare a carriage."

"I have war horses, what are you doing in your carriage?"Zhao Wuming frowned, and his tone became slightly more serious.Always feel that this eunuch is abnormal? .

The eunuch had no choice but to salute again: "The villain is leaving, please hurry up, my son, or the king will be unhappy."

"My son understands."Zhao Wuming just replied lightly, and looked away.A sparrow just flew to the top of the tree and tilted its head to look at them.

The eunuch could only turn around and walk forward.Then the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a carriage gradually disappeared in front of the eyes.

Qing Que looked at Zhao Wuming with some doubts in his eyes: "Master, you just suspected that there is something wrong with that eunuch?".

"I don't know, it's just that I'm vaguely disgusted with this matter."Zhao Wuming shook his head, this feeling seemed to have no reason at all.

Fan Shun was silent, as if thinking of something, looked at Qing Que, then shook his head: "It seems that the young master still has some resentment towards the king all these years, otherwise how could he resist such a thing."

"This is just the crown prince's intention, not the king's edict. Whether you go or not depends entirely on your will, how can you say such nonsense."Qing Que seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly stopped Fan Shun.

Pictures from the depths of the memory appeared in his mind, and Zhao Wuming's expression suddenly turned dark: "Hate? Big brother asked me this way back then, but I prevaricated."

"Young master...".Qing Que hesitated to speak, he really didn't know how to speak on this topic.He could only stare at Fan Shun fiercely.

Fan Shun smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained: "My lord, listen to me, that sentence just now was not intentional."

"It doesn't matter, ten years have passed since this incident, so what can't be said."Zhao Wuming shook his head, but his thoughts drifted far away.I had no mother since I was a child, until I was 12 years old.Only then did he realize that his biological mother had already been ordered to die by his ruthless father the moment he was born.On the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, Zhao Yu deliberately revealed the truth of the matter.So I lost my temper that day, which created this miserable decade.

There was a question circling in Qing Que's mind, but in the end she couldn't hold it back: "My lord, do you still have hatred now?"

"If there is no love in the heart, how can there be hatred?"Zhao Wuming shook his head, turned around and walked to his room.A gust of wind blows, and a few large withered leaves gradually fall down.

Sun Buer looked at all this in a daze, and when he saw Zhao Wuming was about to enter the room, he asked loudly: "My lord, should we go to the east gate or not?"

"Don't go".Since Zhao Wuming repelled it in his heart, he didn't have to force it. As for the prince, he just had to prevaricate when he met in the future.

Qing Que looked at Sun Buer, and then the two turned their eyes to Fan Shun, raising their fists as a silent threat.He really didn't expect him to mention those sad things about the young master so ignorantly, if he hadn't thought about his kindness all these years, he would have served him with fists and feet long ago.

Fan Shun watched the two of them shrunk their necks subconsciously, but he didn't expect to speak quickly.It actually made the young master give up the idea of ​​going to the east gate to meet the king.Thinking of this, Fan Shun hurriedly ran over, just as he was about to make amends.But there was a loud bang, and the door was closed.

Listening to the sound, the three of them glanced at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
