Chapter 170 Get to the bottom of things!
"If she is really the wife of Zhao Wu as recorded in her hometown, and Zhao Feng and his sister are the children of Zhao Wu, then there must be land given to them."
"And what they once relied on for survival was the one Ying Er mentioned as a gift."
"I knew Afang wouldn't do that."
"She has always been alone." Ying Zheng thought excitedly in his heart.
Although he believed in Afang in his heart, Dun Ruo's reminder still echoed in his heart.
It even made Ying Zheng think of one thing: if Afang really married again? How should he face it? If Zhao Feng and his sister were not his children, how would he face it? But.
Ying Zheng felt guilty in his heart, towards Xia Dong'er and his two children.
All of them came to my mind.
In the final analysis, he was guilty of it.
Not well protected.
"You and your brother are twins, a boy and a girl."
"You are already twenty years old, which is a very old age for a woman. Have you ever considered getting married?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Ying immediately became alert and waved her hands repeatedly: "I haven't considered it. I'll talk about it when I meet someone in the future. My brother said that he will support me for the rest of my life even if I don't get married."
Hear this.
Ying Zheng laughed: "So, you really are not going to get married."
"No."
"I just haven't met the right one." Zhao Ying shook her head again.
"Would you like me to keep an eye out for you? If there are any good young talents, I will introduce them to you." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
“No, no.”
"I am just a common citizen. There is no need for me to look for those so-called young heroes." Zhao Ying waved her hands again and again.
At this moment, Zhao Ying was also extremely uneasy. She didn't understand why the King of Qin suddenly came to her to talk about all sorts of things. There was no topic at all and she couldn't understand it at all.
Now she just wanted to leave Zhangtai Palace as quickly as possible and run as far away as possible.
"You seem not used to being in my palace?" Ying Zheng smiled slightly, naturally noticing Zhao Ying's embarrassment.
"I am just a commoner and have no knowledge. Naturally I am nervous in the king's palace." Zhao Ying replied truthfully.
"You are not a commoner girl."
"You are alone..."
Having said this, Ying Zheng hurriedly stopped.
What caught my eye was Zhao Ying's face which looked strange, suspicious, worried and frightened.
"You are the sister of the general whom I trust the most. Now you are also a noble. How can you be a commoner?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"This..." Zhao Ying didn't know how to respond again.
Talking to the king in front of her, Zhao Ying felt helpless and nervous, and she really didn't know what to say.
It would be bad if I said the wrong thing.
"alright."
"You don't need to be so reserved in front of me. After all, I hosted your brother's wedding banquet and sat at the elders' seat. Just think of me as your elder." Ying Zheng said gently, with a strong kind tone in his voice.
"Yes." That was all Zhao Ying could say in reply.
But I thought to myself, "It seems like the king really just wants to talk to me, probably for my sake."
"You should go back to the Great Medical Hall first."
"If anything happens in the palace, or if someone dares to bully you, just come and tell me and I will do you justice." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
He could also see that Zhao Ying didn't know what to say.
I simply didn't let my daughter sit there feeling anxious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I am doing well in the palace. I have Doctor Chen to take care of me. No one bullies me."
"I'm leaving." Zhao Ying slowly stood up and said this, then bowed and slowly left the Zhangtai Palace.
Where there are people, there will be disputes and people who look down on others. This is especially true in the palace.
But Zhao Ying is the sister of the general of the Great Qin Dynasty, and people in the palace also know her identity. Who would dare to bully her?
Even after walking out of Zhangtai Palace.
Zhao Gao, who was serving outside, also bowed immediately and said, "Miss Zhao, are you familiar with the way to the palace? I will have someone take you back to the Palace of Great Doctors."
"Someone come."
"Send Miss Zhao back to the Great Medical Palace."
Zhao Gao shouted immediately.
"Thank you, Lord Zhao." Zhao Ying immediately expressed his gratitude.
Then he followed a temple servant and walked towards the Great Medical Hall.
"Your Majesty really loves the Zhao family and is so kind to Zhao Feng's sister."
"Looking at all the ministers in the court, no one can be so generous."
"It would be great if Zhao Feng supported Hu Hai."
"Zhao Feng alone is enough to equal the support of half of the ministers in the court." There was a gleam of planning in Zhao Gao's sinister eyes.
The King of Qin is here at this moment.
Although he was very honest, his every move revealed the humility of a slave.
But secretly he was already planning for his future.
He didn't want to live as a slave in the palace anymore, he wanted to be an upright person.
In the palace!
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Ying'er."
"You are an orphan's daughter."
"Don't worry."
"From now on, I will not let you live a hard life anymore."
"I will never let you suffer any injustice again." Ying Zheng swore secretly in his heart.
Then.
Looking at the memorials piled up on the table.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache on his face again.
"There are so many memorials, and we still need to deal with them before we can go to Yongcheng."
"The reason why Afang avoided me was probably because of those people."
"Does Afang still think that I am incapable of protecting them now?"
"The Qin Dynasty today is no longer what it used to be." Ying Zheng murmured to himself.
…
Cloud City! In the main hall of a general's mansion in the city.
It is also the residence where Zhao Feng lives.
certainly.
Since returning to Yunzhong, Zhao Feng has been living in the army and basically never comes to this mansion.
Eat and live with the soldiers.
It has always been like this.
Whatever Zhao Feng ate in the army, the soldiers also ate.
now.
Inside the main hall.
Generals Zhang Han, Tu Sui and Li You were all there.
And in the hall, there was a man wearing the official uniform of the Yan State.
It was the general of Yan State, Qing Qin.
"Meet General Zhao Feng."
Qing Qin clasped his hands and bowed to Zhao Feng.
"General Qingqin, you are too polite." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
Zhao Feng felt a little strange about the name of the Yan general in front of him. Qing Qin means celebrating the Qin State.
If he was a general of the Qin State, it might have some meaning, but he was the general of the Yan State.
When Qin attacks Yan in the future, how should he, the general, face Qin? "My king heard that General Jin was the general of Qin and was guarding Yunzhong City, so he sent me here to congratulate the general on his appointment." Qing Qin said with a smile.
"You are too polite, King Yan."
"It is a great honor for Zhao to hold this important position at such a young age. It is all thanks to the great favor of the king. This time the King of Yan specially asked General Qing to come and congratulate me. This is a great honor for Zhao." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Yan and Qin are allies. In the past, Zhao invaded Yan. If Qin had not responded to Yan's request for help, Yan would have been destroyed by Zhao. Yan will never forget this favor."
"Coming here to congratulate the general further demonstrates the friendship between Yan and Qin," Qing Qin said with a smile.
"That's right."
"The Great Qin and the State of Yan have an alliance." Zhao Feng immediately agreed.
It's just talk, that's just talk.
Before this world came into being, it has always been a truth that the one with the biggest fist has the final say.
Once your fist becomes big enough, the so-called covenant will be nothing but a piece of waste paper.
Just like Qin attacking Zhao.
Zhao Yan was deceived by Ying Zheng and raised an army to attack Yan, but the country was short of troops and the army was targeted at capable generals.
Eventually, the State of Zhao was destroyed.
All of this was Zhao Yan's own fault.
Hear what Zhao Feng said.
Qing Qin smiled and suddenly asked, "I heard that the general only has one wife, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Feng nodded, but he also looked at Qing Qin strangely: "Why does General Qing ask this question?"
"When I came from Yan State, the king specifically instructed me."
"I wonder if the general still wants to take a concubine?"
"My king has a very beautiful daughter, who is only 28 years old. If the general is willing, my king is willing to have a close relationship with the general." Qing Qin said directly.
Hear this.
Zhao Feng smiled in his heart: "Interesting, is this a plot to sow discord?"
"It was actually used on my head."
"If I agree to this directly and don't report it, Wang Wan and his old friends will have another reason to impeach me, and the reason will be treason."
Just a moment.
Zhao Feng figured it out.
Although he is only twenty years old, he has lived two lives and is no fool.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly, "How can I refuse the King of Yan's kindness? However, as a minister, and I am in such a position. The King of Yan's daughter is a princess of a country. This matter needs to be reported to my king. If the King of Yan is really interested, how about I wait for my report and then give you a reply?"
Hearing Zhao Feng say this.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Qing Qin's eyes.
Obviously.
What he wanted was for Zhao Feng to agree directly instead of going through the King of Qin. In this way, if he could make some arrangements in Qin, he might have a chance to force Zhao Feng to come to his Yan State.
But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking on the part of him and King Yan.
"My king is willing to marry."
"General Zhao, please submit your report and I will give you a reply later." Qing Qin nodded hurriedly.
"In that case, I will have someone report it." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
How could Zhao Feng refuse a princess who came to his doorstep?
In this era, you can't just marry one.
In my own house.
There were also Princess Han and Princess Zhao bestowed by the King of Qin.
Their status was not even that of concubines, they were just slaves. If they gave birth to children for Zhao Feng, they could become concubines.
Since the State of Yan was going to send a daughter, Zhao Feng would not suffer any loss.
After explaining things to Qing Qin.
The latter did not stay long and left Yunzhong City directly.
"General."
"This general of Yan State is quite thoughtful."
"Not only does she want to use the so-called princess to influence the general, she also wants to enter the barracks and test our troops."
As soon as Qing Qin left, Zhang Han said with some disgust.
The three people standing in the hall naturally heard what Qing Qin just said.
"I am stationed in Yunzhong City, so the Yan Kingdom will naturally be unable to sleep or eat in peace."
"They also know that my Wu'an Camp is set up here to target the Yan State, but they have no way to change it and can only use these small tricks."
"It's not presentable." Zhao Feng said with a faint smile.
"It's indeed not presentable." Tu Sui nodded.
"Have the war horses arrived?"
Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang Han and asked.
"Return to the General."
"Within a month, all 100,000 war horses will be delivered to our military camp."
"In addition to those captured on the battlefield of Zhao State, there are also those captured from the horse farm of Zhao State."
"This is also what the king has agreed to grant." Zhang Han replied immediately.
"One hundred thousand cavalry."
"Although they are light cavalry, they are already the world's top combat force."
"Looking at the four major camps of our Great Qin, only the northern border has 100,000 cavalry." Zhao Feng said with a big laugh.
Having 100,000 cavalrymen under his command is an absolute force in this era.
"Once our Wu'an Camp is fully formed, it will definitely have the combat power that surpasses other camps."
"My camp has the cavalry power that Lantian and Hangu don't have."
"My camp also has the power of infantry combat that the Northern Frontier Camp does not have." Tu Sui said excitedly.
"Okay, don't think about it for now."
"We have the war horses, but the camp has just been built and there are still many things to organize."
"How many of those surrendered soldiers have been sent here so far?"
"Are there enough food and fodder?"
"Have all these things been arranged?" Zhao Feng asked seriously.
"Return to the General."
"More than 30,000 surrendered soldiers have been sent here. Zhao is a very large area, and the surrendered soldiers are detained in three places. It will take another month or two to send all of them to Yunzhong."
"After all, the camp has just been established and there are too many things to do." Li You replied immediately.
"kindness."
Zhao Feng nodded but didn't force anything.
After all, transportation was not well developed in that era, and the surrendered soldiers of Zhao were distributed in three places. It was already good enough to bring them all to Yunzhong City within one or two months. After all, these were living people, and there were more than 200,000 of them. It was naturally impossible to escort them here in one batch, but they needed to be escorted in batches.
Escort when the military force is sufficient to balance the power.
Mutiny and escape are not uncommon.
"Let's leave it at that for now regarding the movement of war horses and soldiers."
"Now, let's discuss the appointments of the ten thousand generals, captains and military marquises in the camp." Zhao Feng said, looking at the three generals.
"General."
"These officers are naturally selected from the veteran warriors. Many of our brothers have made great contributions in the destruction of Zhao this time. Now is the time to promote them. Moreover, when the prisoner army is reorganized later, they naturally cannot be officers."
“From sergeant to squad leader, all these positions need to be taken up by the old brothers,” Zhang Han said immediately.
"Today we will first call on the generals and the captains to make plans."
"As for the military marquis and positions below the military marquis, let the generals select them and appoint them according to their military merits."
"After you draw up the promotion list, give it to Kuai Pu. After I approve it, let him submit it to the Shaofu." Zhao Feng instructed everyone.
"promise."
Zhang Han and the other two nodded immediately.
"Okay, let's all go." Zhao Feng waved his hand and didn't say anything else.
"I'll take my leave." The three generals retreated immediately.
After they leave.
Zhao Feng also sat down again. There were a lot of military affairs piled on the table that needed Zhao Feng's review.
After serving as general.
The military affairs were ten times more than when he was the commander-in-chief, and it was a newly built camp, so the military affairs were even busier.
Time passes by.
Night has fallen.
"My Lord."
"Something happened."
A voice suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Feng.
Ying Bu was dressed in black Yanting robes and knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Feng.
"Hmm?" Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at Ying Bu.
"Xianyang, Handan, Weicheng."
"The three Jiuxianlou buildings were attacked at night by unknown forces." Ying Bu reported solemnly.
"Night attack?" Zhao Feng's expression changed slightly: "Are there any casualties? Is the restaurant damaged?"
Jiuxianlou is the key to his wealth. Without the money earned from Jiuxianlou, Zhao Feng would never be able to support such a huge Yan Court.
These years have passed.
Yan Ting has grown from nothing into a behemoth.
"Please rest assured, my lord."
"Each Jiuxian Tower is guarded by more than a hundred Yanting Wuchang, and once attacked, the Wuchang will quickly gather. Although these night attacks came suddenly, there were not too many casualties."
"There were only some minor casualties, nothing to worry about."
"And the secrets of the restaurant have not been stolen." Ying Bu replied immediately.
"Yeah." Zhao Feng nodded.
He was naturally very confident in Yan Ting's strength.
There is the training of bone refining powder, as well as a lot of training and death warriors training.
Yan Ting Wuchang is not weaker than any dark forces in the world, even the Black Ice Platform of Qin. If we ignore the background and only talk about the strength of the confrontation, Yan Ting Wuchang will not lose to them.
"Are there any casualties?" Zhao Feng frowned slightly.
Yan Ting Wuchang, every one who can be called Wuchang, even if they are only level one Wuchang, are much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
If he were in the army, he could kill ten people at once.
But now there are casualties?
"Fifteen people died and twenty were injured in the Xianyang Jiuxianlou."
"Eight people died in Handan and nine were injured."
"Ten people were injured in Weicheng." Ying Bu reported all the numbers he had obtained.
"This force is not simple enough to cause casualties in my Yan Court."
"How many people are attacking?" Zhao Feng continued to ask.
"There are nearly a hundred people attacking Jiuxianlou in Xianyang, more in Handan, and slightly fewer in Weicheng."
“But these people are all from the same force, they are all well-trained, and their purpose is very clear, which is to go after the wine recipe of my Jiuxianlou.” Ying Bu replied immediately.
"The real wine recipe is kept at Yan Ting's residence. Even if the army is dispatched, they can't take it away."
"This force is thinking too much."
"Do they think I would put such an important wine recipe in the restaurant?" Zhao Feng sneered.
"Jiuxianlou has earned countless money, so naturally it has attracted the envy of many people."
“Every time Jiuxianlou opens a place, the powerful people in that place will use threats and inducements, but these Han managers did not report to the master, but worked hard to handle it on their own.” Ying Bu said with a bit of admiration in his tone.
Han Xi, a disabled man, could gain such respect from Ying Bu, which shows that he is indeed capable.
"Han Xi."
"You really did not let me down." Zhao Feng nodded.
He trusts Han Xi very much.
Ever since he rescued him from King Han's palace, Han Xi had repaid him with everything he had and was willing to serve him until his death.
It is for this reason that Zhao Feng completely delegated power to him and allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
"Have you found out more about this force?" Zhao Feng came back to his senses and asked Ying Bu.
When asked this question, Zhao Feng had actually already guessed it in his heart.
