Hundreds of wooden boxes were opened in Zhaowang Palace.
The finest furs, glassware, and treasures made of gold, silver, copper, and iron exude a dazzling brilliance.
Even though the State of Zhao was one of the first-class wealthy vassal states in the Han Dynasty, King Zhao was inevitably shocked.
Stroking his beard and smiling softly, Liu Pengzu's impression of Zhang Qi invisibly improved by several levels.
"Hahaha, Lieutenant Zhang, thank you for your hard work. You guys have also worked hard. Come and give us some wine."
The twelve captains all raised their hands to express their thanks, and then there was an ordinary banquet.
Dismissed.
The twelve captains left the main hall of King Zhao's palace one by one.
Just as he was about to leave, the little palace maid who suddenly appeared quietly stuffed a piece of cloth into her, and then left in a hurry.
I saw it read: "Princess Qingling, the wife of the Marquis of Liao, asks for help from the Marquis of Liao."
The twelve captains all looked at each other, and they all had doubts in their eyes.
"What's the explanation?"
"I don't know?"
"Captain Yuan?"
Everyone looked at one person, Wang Yuan, Wang Li's confidant, and the one with the greatest say among the twelve lieutenants.
When there are no other superiors around, the captains will rely on his opinion if they can't make up their minds.
Wang Yuan pondered for a while: "I don't know whether it is true or not, but if it is really a letter of help from Madam Liao Hou, we will naturally give priority to the interests of the captain. No matter what is in front of us, we will have to wait for it."
"Go back to the main hall!"
All the captains raised their hands: "No!"
At the gate of King Zhao's palace, the twelve captains turned around under the astonished eyes of all King Zhao's soldiers and asked to see King Zhao again.
After a while, King Zhao received them.
"Hahaha, why did you all turn around again?"
Wang Yuan took a step forward and cupped his hands and said: "I was rewarded with fine wine by the King of Zhao before. We were so excited that we forgot the instructions of the Marquis of Liao. Let's report to the King of Zhao that when we come to the Kingdom of Zhao this time, one is to escort the Marquis of Liao to present the wine." The gift to King Zhao is, secondly, to be ordered by the Marquis of Liao to guard the princess until her marriage."
"I also ask for King Zhao's approval."
Wang Yuan spoke well and kept his posture very low. Now that the marriage was finalized, it was reasonable for her husband's family to send guards to protect her safety, so Liu Pengzu stroked his beard and smiled.
"Captain Zhang is also a considerate person. In this case, you can take up the post of bodyguard in Linshui Villa. Do you have any subordinates?"
Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Twelve people are enough for me."
"Hahaha, so be it." Liu Pengzu was very satisfied with Wang Yuan's understanding. It was a great favor for him to allow the twelve captains to enter Linshui Villa. If Wang Yuan still wanted to bring his subordinates in, then he would But there is some doubt.
All the captains raised their hands in unison: "Respect the order of King Zhao!"
Linshui Villa.
Liu Rui's face was ugly, and her maids were looking anxiously at the corner of the corridor in the garden.
In front of her were Prince Dan's servants.
"Your Highness, Prince Dan specifically asked me to wait. His Highness must be invited to Wenhua Palace. Please don't make me wait for the trouble of being a servant."
The prince's servants, with the prince's support, except for King Zhao, they are not very afraid of other princes and princesses.
At this moment, too, although he was speaking politely, the threatening tone behind his words was palpable.
Liu Rui was trembling with anger, but there was nothing he could do, because Prince Dan was deeply favored by King Zhao and his position was very stable. The servants had complained several times before, but without exception, they were all killed in the side hall.
"What kind of status do you have, how dare you threaten Her Highness the Princess? Don't you know that Your Highness has made a marriage agreement with the Marquis of Liao today and is still not retreating!"
A little palace maid who had a good relationship with Liu Rui stood in front of Liu Rui and yelled at all the servants of the prince.
However, she was just a little palace maid, and these domineering servants looked down upon her. There was even one person who wanted to slap the palace maid.
He raised his hand high and was about to fall on the palace maid's face when suddenly.
A strong hand held him, and then, with a strong shake, the servant who was about to take action was thrown away.
"Bold! How dare you attack Madam Liaohou in the Zhao Palace? Let me take her down!"
Wang Yuan shouted violently and knocked down the servants to the ground with three punches and two kicks. The other captains rushed up in an orderly manner, pulled out their sabers and put them on their necks.
When had the servants experienced such suffering in Zhao Wang's palace, fear suddenly surged into their hearts.
After dealing with these servants, Wang Yuan straightened his armor and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Rui.
"Wang Yuan, the pioneer captain in the Marquis of Liao's tent, met Her Highness the Princess. Rescue arrived late. Please punish Her Highness the Princess!"
As Wang Yuan opened his mouth, the other captains, those holding swords and those tied up, saluted one after another.
"Under the Marquis of Liao's tent, the captain has met Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Get up."
Liu Rui couldn't understand the current situation for a while. She just felt that her mind was so confused. If the palace maid hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to get these people up at this moment.
When did you get such a strong back?
Seeing Liu Rui's discomfort, Wang Yuan stood up and bowed his hands: "Your Highness was a little nervous due to the collision today. You can take Your Highness down to rest. This place is in our hands. By order of the Marquis of Liao, from now on, I will be the princess." The sword-carrying guard at the front."
The maids looked a little excited at this moment. They nodded quickly and helped Liu Rui back to the Bieyuan Palace to rest.
And all the servants here
Wang Yuan frowned and murmured: "This Zhao Palace is really troublesome. I have to send a message to you first. Someone really wants to be harmful to Madam."
Although Liu Rui was not married yet, in the hearts of Wang Yuan and other captains, she was already the wife of the Marquis of Liao. It concerned Zhang Qi, and Wang Yuan had to protect her with all his strength.
"Send it to the prince's palace and have a better attitude. Our power in Zhao is not yet stable."
Wang Yuan whispered.
Several captains nodded: "I'll understand later."
Then he escorted a group of servants who looked like pigs and dogs to the prince's palace.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you have to make the decision for us."
When they arrived at the prince's palace, the servants seemed to have found a backbone again, and they started crying one after another. The sound was so loud that the prince Liu Dan, who was bathing, changing clothes and burning incense in the prince's womb, frowned.
"Let me go and see what's going on!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
The eunuch bowed and retreated, and then winked at the captain guarding the prince's palace. The latter immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, forty or fifty people pressed forward.
"Whoever breaks into the crown prince's womb will be punished with death!"
Brush brush brush.
There was a sound of drawing a sword.
This made the captains who escorted the servants frown.
Wang Yuan had ordered them to have a better attitude, but a good attitude was for Prince Dan, not these people.
"You have drawn your sword, are you ready to die?!"
The captains did not show any fear in the face of the forty or fifty-year-old Zhao palace guards, but instead asked bluntly.
"?"
Before the Guards Captain understood the meaning of the words, he had already drawn his sword.
"Liaodong Army! Form up!"
The eleven people instantly formed a small battle formation and kicked out a group of servants.
The saber glowed with cold light, and a sense of murder filled the front of the Crown Prince's womb.
