Lu Baichuan and Zhou Tong hurried in. Han You's eyes jumped when he saw Xiang Lun and Yu Shaoyong still standing at the door, whose expressions changed drastically.
"You guys come in too!"
Xiang Lun waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't listen to anything..."
Han You: "Stop talking nonsense and come in!"
Xiang Lun and Yu Shaoyong walked in with bitter faces and troubled minds.
Zhou Zhou had a question mark on his head: "What's wrong?"
"Zhao Xiong told me..."
Han You repeated without moving a word: "Zhao Bao and Zhao Congyun have secretly taken refuge in the service of His Highness King Qin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Baichuan and Zhou Tong both changed their expressions.
Names of people: Zhao Bao, Zhao Congyun, King Qin.
Keywords: secret, refuge, service.
If there is only one person who secretly takes refuge or takes orders, it is no problem.
Even if two keywords, surrender and service, are put together, there is no problem, but adding a secret is a big problem.
When a prince is in a fief, someone must seek refuge with him. After all, he is a prince.
But this prince is a "disabled king" with no military power at all. He is only in his early twenties and has already lived a retirement life ahead of schedule.
But even if he retires early, he will still be a prince. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it is not a big surprise if someone joins him.
The problem is, secretly defecting!
What is secret is to be secretive, not letting people know, being sneaky, and searching with dogs.
To take refuge can only be said to be a hug, and to serve is more than a hug.
For example, in the earliest days, when Jiang Zhui just followed Han You, it was called taking refuge.
This refuge is actually to hang out with a big brother, find a protective umbrella, and have a place to live.
It's like when a child goes to hang out with relatives in other places, and his father says that you go and seek refuge with your second uncle, he certainly can't say that you go and work for your second uncle.
Now, Jiang Zhui is no longer called to surrender, but to obey his orders. In theory, he must do whatever Han You tells him. This is called to obey his orders, and it is to serve his orders, not "to be effective".
Every word spoken by a person like Zhao Xiong is extremely rigorous.
Zhao Congyun and Zhao Bao are not ordinary people. They are members of the Zhao family and have good backgrounds.
These two people, who were well-off and well-off, secretly took refuge in a prince who had no real power except his identity, and "served" him.
What can a prince with no real power do to the two Zhao family father and son who are already big shots? You can imagine the answer.
Han You did not rush to question Zhao Xiong, but observed the expressions of Lu Baichuan and Zhou Tong. Among the people present, they were the only two who understood Qin King Zhou Xiao.
Both of them were shocked and shocked, but they didn't speak for a long time. Even Zhou Tong, as his biological brother, didn't shout "impossible".
It was precisely because the two of them didn't even fart that Han You felt a thump in his heart.
"Zhao Xiong!"
Han You exhaled a breath and forced himself to calm down: "When you reach your position, you must be responsible for anything you say."
"I don't need you to teach me."
"Then why didn't you tell me in the capital before, or tell His Majesty?"
Zhao Xiong looked strange: "I said it, will you believe it or His Majesty will believe it? Not only will you not believe it, you will think that I am provoking the Tian family."
Han You didn't say anything. He felt that if Zhao Xiong said it, Lao Ba would believe it because Lao Ba asked him to go to Yizhou.
Zhou Tong asked anxiously: "How do you know, you old ghost?"
"Guess."
With a "guess", Han You almost pulled out the short knife from Wang Hai's waist.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Lun said with a lost look: "No wonder, no wonder."
"No wonder your uncle asked, what's going on?"
"Zhao Bao was originally a Tongzhi of Qiongzhou, and Zhao Congyun was originally a Cangshou of Yizhou. After I took office, Zhao Bao spared no effort to get rid of me. You must know that when I was the deputy commander of the border, Zhao Bao tried his best to make friends with me. My officer, who would have thought that when I became the magistrate, Zhao Bao would use all possible means to deal with me as if he had met the enemy who killed his father. After that, my officer drove Zhao Bao out of the magistrate's house, and Zhao Congyun dismissed Yizhou. The position of Cang Shou is just to get rid of me as Zhao Bao's general agency."
Having said this, Xiang Lun shook his head: "They did not want to get rid of me. From the beginning to the end, it was not for the purpose of getting rid of me."
Zhao Xiong said: "Yes, Zhao Bao and his son want Qiongzhou."
Wang Hai seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the map hanging in the corner.
Han You followed Wang Hai's gaze, his pupils shrank suddenly, he stood up and walked quickly to the wall, his eyes twitching.
There are continuous mountains between Yizhou and Qiongzhou. If you tilt your head slightly and change the angle, if Yizhou and Qiongzhou are connected in a straight line, then all areas south of Qiongzhou can be isolated.
Zhao Bao sighed and spoke slowly.
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, Zhao Bao told me that Qiongzhou is very important. If the Zhao family can hold Qiongzhou in our hands, we will be invincible. Your Majesty will not easily make things difficult for the Zhao family. I agree, but I have not yet I thought Zhao Bao was so impatient, and his methods became more and more despicable when fighting with Lord Xiang, but I also knew that Zhao Bao was not Lord Xiang's opponent, so I didn't intervene."
Xiang Lun laughed: "That's natural."
Han You resisted the urge to curse and listened patiently.
Zhao Xiong continued: "I had never imagined that the Zhao family and his son would dare to target Yidaowei and General Han. In fact, I returned to the Southland seven days ago. After knowing this, I also wanted to find out the whereabouts of Zhao Bao, and after some investigation, I found out that Zhao Bao had gone to Yizhou, and all the dead soldiers and private soldiers raised in his mansion had gone to Yizhou."
Han You nodded: "That's why you determined that Zhao Bao and his son had taken refuge with His Highness the King of Qin?"
"If he commits such a decapitation, our Zhao family will definitely not protect him. Even His Highness the King of Qin cannot save Zhao Bao, but Zhao Bao still went to Yizhou. Why is he so sure that he can settle down in Yizhou?"
"Because he is originally from His Highness King Qin."
"Yes, everything makes sense. Why did Zhao Bao and Zhao Congyun use all kinds of tricks to drive Lord Xiang away? As long as Lord Xiang is driven out of Qiongzhou, there will only be one person who can serve as the governor of the state."
Xiang Lun asked uncertainly: "Zhang He?"
"Yes, it is Zhang He, the governor of Changzhou. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he will go to Beijing to take up a post in the summer."
Xiang Lun didn't know why: "Is Zhang He a member of His Highness the King of Qin?"
"No, he's from Zhou Tianfeng."
"Fuck you." Han You began to curse: "The person Zhou Tianfeng is trying to win over is neither the Zhao family nor Mr. Xiang, but His Highness the King of Qin!"
Lu Baichuan looked at Zhao Xiong, half convinced: "How do you know that Zhou Tianfeng and His Highness King Qin are hooking up?"
"The reason why I told General Han that Zhou Tianfeng was in Qiongzhou was because I found some clues before entering the capital. At that time, I thought that Zhao Bao and Zhao Congyun had defected to Zhou Tianfeng and wanted to seize Qiongzhou. Now Zhao Bao has escaped to Yizhou. That is to say, Zhao Bao defected to the King of Qin, but if Zhao Bao wanted to drive Master Xiang away, wouldn't it be that the wedding clothes he made for Zhang He were in vain. Since Zhang He is not a person of the King of Qin, there is only one possibility."
Han You smiled bitterly: "If Zhang He is Zhou Tianfeng's man, and Zhou Tianfeng is in cahoots with King Qin, everything will make sense, right?"
Zhao Xiong smiled bitterly: "Yes, everything makes sense."
Xiang Lun glanced at Han You's face and told him another piece of bad news, as if he thought everyone was not troubled enough.
"After the King of Qin opened his fiefdom and established a palace, he had close personal relationships with... many generals of the Southern Army."
"You've been thinking about it for a long time, and you're just saying it now?"
Han You was too lazy to scold and made a decision immediately: "Immediately drag Zhao Congyun out from the prison, notify Fu Yuxiang, assemble the troops and wait for my order, then go to Zhechong Mansion to look for Wen Tao, seconded 200 troops, meet in the south of the city at nightfall, and escort I’m heading to Laizhou.”
