With the addition of Zhao Bang, the guards of the Seventh Prince were somewhat restricted. Zhao Bang's martial arts were the best among his brothers. He was young and had strong internal strength. He could fight ten people at once and even use hidden weapons to help the Saint.
Soon, Zhao Biao arrived with his guards, and the Seventh Prince had no choice but to intervene: "General Zhao, this is my private residence. How dare you attack me? This is treason!"
Zhao Biao saluted and said, "So this is the Seventh Prince's private residence. I am an old minister who is blind. However, the prince cannot leave the palace to establish a government office until he is crowned king. Seventh Prince, it is not in accordance with the rules for you to build your own private residence, right?
Does the emperor know? Oh my, so many guards! The Seventh Prince is indeed a veteran of the battlefield. He has so many people. He is really impressive.
When Zhao Biao showed up, the guards didn't dare to fight anymore and retreated one after another, resulting in a stalemate between the two sides.
Only the Saint and Taoist Xuan Yue continued to fight. To avoid implicating innocent people, the Saint took him to a remote place for easier combat.
Zhao Biao was extremely anxious and he also wanted to help his wife.
Zhao Letong: "I'll go help my mother."
Zhao Biao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the Seventh Prince did not interfere, with Le Tong's abilities, his wife would definitely not suffer any loss.
That Taoist priest must be the remnant of the Southern Xinjiang movement. The man surnamed Niu recommended him. They are a pair of snakes and rats. I will make sure that man surnamed Niu is in trouble at the court tomorrow morning.
The Seventh Prince had a gloomy expression on his face and didn't dare to take any action. Qiao Yujiao was helpless as the current situation was beyond her comprehension.
In her previous life, she was just a girl from an ordinary class. She graduated from high school and went to a junior college. She could only work as a receptionist. She tried her best to curry favor with the boss of the company and marry the CEO.
Although the boss is already forty years old, the handsome uncle is more mature, more charming, and more caring. It's a pity that they came here before they succeeded.
She could only stare blankly at this kind of struggle among the upper class, as she had never understood it when she was studying history in school.
Seeing the Seventh Prince was silent, Zhao Biao, having nothing better to do, decided to scare him for fun. "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, your guards look like members of the Xu family army. When did you become so close to General Xu?"
"No, don't talk nonsense."
The Seventh Prince panicked. If it were true, General Xu would be dragged into this as well, and he would hate himself to death.
Although General Xu also meant to support him in seizing the throne, it is too early now. The Seventh Prince has not yet been crowned king. The Emperor is in his prime, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are all legitimate. How could it be the Seventh Prince's turn?
The princes above are not pushovers either, and the seventh prince has a long way to go.
"Isn't it? That's because I'm dazzled. I can't take it anymore. My daughter was bullied, and my head is buzzing with anger. My eyes are blurry, and I see everything wrong.
Hey, who is this woman? Is she the Seventh Prince's favorite?
Qiao Yujiao: "..."
You are the pet? You talk like she is a toy.
"Yes, General Zhao, since you have nothing else to do, why not go home early? It's so late, don't you have to attend court tomorrow?"
"I have to go to court, but this Taoist priest appeared in the Seventh Prince's private residence. This matter must be discussed with the Emperor. Is the Seventh Prince shielding the remnants of the Southern Border?"
This is a more serious crime than making friends with ministers in the court. Colluding with foreign enemies is punishable by death.
The Seventh Prince panicked: "No, I didn't, I really didn't know this Taoist priest was a remnant of the Southern Border.
General Zhao, please show some mercy. I owe you a favor. Don't tell my father about this. He's very busy, so don't let him worry about such a small matter."
Zhao Biao put his hands in his pockets, his eyes scornful. "I cannot accept this favor. The remnants of the Southern Border are skilled in the art of poisonous insects. This is no small matter. Once you get involved, there is no escape. I dare not lie to the emperor."
The Seventh Prince felt a sinking heart. He was determined not to let him go.
Zhao Xing brought a chair over and said, "Father, please sit down and rest for a while. It's getting late. The morning court session will begin in an hour. I'll have the driver bring court robes to pick you up. You can change in the carriage."
"Well, since the boss is cooking, let's just have a good chat with the Seventh Prince."
Zhao Guo brought tea, "Father, have some tea."
Only Zhao Bang avoided looking at his old father, so it was impossible for him to surrender on his own initiative.
He vowed to make a name for himself that would shock others and make them look at him with new eyes.
As a result, he came back in disgrace, still begging for food and with a lame leg. If it weren't for his sister's excellent medical skills, he would have become a cripple.
Zhao Biao looked at his youngest son with a little more tenderness in his eyes: "Fourth son, you've suffered a lot."
Zhao Bang: “…”
The father, who has always been strict, actually played the sympathy card and showed no respect for martial ethics.
"Alas, my father was also wrong. You were young and impetuous, but I argued with you. I am not a good father.
Your father apologizes to you, please don't be angry, go home, look at your mother, she has become like this, your father's heart is always in pain..."
Zhao Bang burst into tears and knelt down, saying, "Father, I was wrong. Please stop talking. I am unfilial."
"My dear, it's all your father's fault. It's not easy for our family to be reunited. And your third brother's condition is still uncertain. I don't have the face to explain to your mother..."
They hugged each other and burst into tears. Zhao Guo wiped his eyes and wanted to join in. Zhao Xing looked up with an expressionless face. These stupid brothers were all deceived by their father.
He was a man known for his thick skin. His younger brothers didn't understand that he had fought in wars with his father. In order to raise food and fodder, he even dared to marry into a wealthy businessman's family, and finally ran away with the food and fodder.
In short, as long as it is beneficial to him, his father can wear women's clothes, it just depends on whether the benefits are big enough.
The younger brothers thought their father loved them, but it was actually just a trick to coax his sons into being obedient.
Zhao Xing understood it all, but he couldn't say it out loud because his father's slap was very painful.
The seventh prince turned around and wanted to leave. Seeing how loving the father and son were, he thought it would be better to go find someone to discuss the next dilemma.
"Your Highness, where are you going? It's almost time for court. Let's go together. I haven't consulted Your Highness on how to manage the army yet."
Zhao Biao held on to the Seventh Prince tightly, ignoring his gloomy face, and really pretended to be confused.
Qiao Yujiao couldn't help but say, "How dare you! This is the prince! Do you still dare to control him?"
"Whose daughter are you? How dare you yell at me? Your Highness, what do you dote on? She's so ignorant. If she were in my house, I would beat her to death."
Qiao Yu was extremely ashamed and angry. She didn't understand why the Seventh Prince was so afraid of this old guy. Looking at the brothers of the Zhao family and the large number of people on her side, she decided to kill them all.
What will become of the Zhao family without these men?
The sudden murderous intent made Zhao Xing frown. "You are the second daughter of the Qiao family. You spoke rudely to my Zhao family before. Since your father apologized sincerely, I didn't hold it against you. Yet you are still so presumptuous. You are simply asking for your own death!"
