Chapter twenty-seven old man
Wu Daoyu was furious, his momentum slowly rising, and he said: "How dare you, a little brigadier general, be so arrogant in front of me?"
Zhao Chengyi was unmoved at all and said: "I am indeed just a brigadier general, but now I also have an identity, the envoy of the Zhao clan! When did the military become so domineering and could yell at the envoy of the Zhao clan without even speaking a word?
Kill?"
Wu Daoyu's eyebrows stood up, and his anger grew stronger. But Zhao Chengyi was right, hurting a Brigadier General of Zhao Clan is completely different from hurting an envoy of Zhao Clan.
The brigadier general of the military headquarters was very clever. Seeing Wu Daoyu riding a tiger and being unable to dismount, he quickly smoothed things over and said, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it! In this matter, after all, our military personnel suffered heavy casualties, so Wu Shuai was rightly angry.
However, General Zhao is the envoy of the Zhao Clan after all, and represents the Zhao Clan now, so we should first listen to what General Zhao has to say, and understand what the Zhao Clan means.
"
Wu Daoyu snorted, shook the letter, and said: "Do you have anyone left in the Zhao clan? If you ask Zhao Jundu to come for a hearing, do you have to defend this line of defense for you?"
Zhao Chengyi ignored the sarcasm in Wu Daoyu's words and said solemnly: "General Jundu is known as the number one genius in the empire. He is unique. Who can replace him?"
Wu Daoyu was stagnant and wanted to criticize, but he didn't know where to start. Zhao Jundu's reputation as the number one genius has been widely recognized. Even if some people were dissatisfied, there was really no one who could compare with him in the same generation. Originally, Qianye was still
There is some hope, but now that he has revealed his identity as a vampire and fought his way out of the unfallen city, he will naturally not be mentioned again.
Wu Daoyu stopped mentioning the matter and said: "Then what is the meaning of this article? If you want Jundu to come here for hearing, I have to go to Zhao Clan to discuss it in person?"
Zhao Chengyi said loudly: "How can the Fourth Young Master, with his status, unparalleled talent, and imperial blood, be able to hear anything just by asking for a hearing? Such a major matter cannot be decided by just anyone. Currently in the city of Unfallen
, the Zhao clan respects Duke Youguo, and if they want to hear Young Master Jundu, they must get Duke Youguo’s nod.”
Having said this, Zhao Chengyi sneered and said: "With your status, Commander Wu, if you want to see Duke You, it's better to go over and see him."
Wu Daoyu was furious again and said in a cold voice: "I am representing the military department at this moment! Isn't it better than Duke Youguo?"
Zhao Chengyi sneered again: "Can you represent the military department? Haha! Calling you Commander Wu is a sign of respect. I have never heard of any former marshal who can represent the military department."
Wu Daoyu's face was ashen, the corners of his eyes were twitching, and murderous intent was leaking out.
Zhao Chengyi ignored him and said to himself: "The empire has its own hierarchy, order and etiquette. If you don't go to see Duke You, do you still need Duke You to come to see you? If the last general's memory is correct, then you
It seems that the result of having sex with Duke You Guo is not very good, okay?"
Wu Daoyu's face was even more ugly, and Zhao Chengyi somewhat saved him some face. The result of that wasteful incident was not only not good, but also a disastrous failure. With this scar exposed, his mood will naturally not get any better.
Wu Daoyu suppressed his anger and said calmly: "The Zhao family is now headed by Duke Youguo? How come I heard that Duke Chengen has also arrived?"
Zhao Chengyi said: "You want to have a good time with Duke Cheng'en? However, Duke Cheng'en is stationed in Western Xinjiang and has important responsibilities, so he is only staying here for a few days. In addition, Princess Gaoyi has also arrived. I wonder if Wu Shuai also wants to see her?"
Wu Daoyu's expression changed, and he finally said: "Since Mr. Cheng'en is busy with other matters, I won't disturb you. I will go to see Mr. Youguo early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Chengyi saluted and said: "This is best, then I will retire."
After Zhao Chengyi left, Wu Daoyu said: "Go and ask Mr. Rong to come over."
A moment later, a middle-aged man with a graceful demeanor and a few strands of thin beard walked in. When he saw him, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Why did Wu Shuai suddenly think of me?"
Wu Daoyu put on a smile on his face, went over to hold his hand, and said: "I have something to ask Marquis Rong. What action will the imperial family take regarding this matter?"
The middle-aged man's smile became a little unpredictable, and he smiled without saying a word.
Wu Daoyu winked, and the brigadier general immediately presented a palm-sized box. The middle-aged man opened it and saw a finger-sized gemstone inside. It was crystal clear blue and contained no impurities. He was filled with joy and smiled immediately.
He became much more enthusiastic and said, "Oh, why is this so embarrassing?"
He said he was embarrassed, but he quickly collected the things. After putting the box in his pocket, the middle-aged man said: "I am just a small role in the imperial family, and I have to obey orders from above in everything. But this
Once, there was actually news related to this matter."
"What's the news?" Wu Daoyu felt something bad for no reason.
"The princes intend not to interfere in this matter for the time being."
This news came out of the blue, and Wu Daoyu was shocked and said: "How could this happen?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "I didn't understand it at first, so I asked more questions. Fortunately, I have a good relationship with those princes, and I often walk around to say hello, so I got something.
Inside story.”
"Ronghou, please speak."
The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said: "Qianye is Qianye, Zhao Jundu is Zhao Jundu. Does Wu Shuai understand?"
Wu Daoyu frowned and said, "But these are two things. That Qianye is obviously a vampire."
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "These are two things, and they are also one thing. There is nothing wrong with hunting down the vampires, no matter what you do. But if you want to touch Zhao Jundu, that is another matter, and it is a big deal!
Now that Princess Gaoyi has come forward, the princes have nothing to say and can only stay out of the matter. Well, I can only say this much and say goodbye!"
After the middle-aged man left, Wu Daoyu's face darkened and he said bitterly: "Well, Zhao Jundu, it seems that you have already thought about it!"
The brigadier asked cautiously: "Are you still going to Duke Youguo's place tomorrow?"
"Go, of course. If we don't escort Zhao Jundu back for hearing, where will the military's face be? What can I do if I just tolerate this moment of anger?" Wu Daoyu sneered.
The brigadier general hesitated and said: "Wu Shuai, Zhao Clan insisted that we take over the defense line. Is there anything fishy in this?"
Wu Daoyu sneered and said: "They just hope that we will retreat when the difficulties are encountered. But I fought in countless bloody battles back then. How can I be afraid of this kind of battle? You go make arrangements now and mobilize more troops.
Come here. I want to see how strong the dark race's offensive can be!"
The brigadier general took the order and left.
After he left, Wu Daoyu showed his gloom. Only he knew that he had lost to Duke You back then, and now he was no longer sure about fighting Zhao Weihuang. Zhao Weihuang guarded the western border and had been fighting fiercely against dark races and rebels for many years. In recent years,
His strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and I am afraid he is no longer in the realm of a divine general. If it weren't for the fact that the position of marshal has always been determined, and Lin Xitang is in charge of the overall situation in Western Xinjiang, Zhao Weihuang might have already been the marshal.
Moreover, there are many internal ties within the military, and there are many factions. Even the King of Immortality dare not say that he can cover the sky with one hand. The Right Prime Minister always likes to control things behind the scenes, and rarely stands directly at the front desk, so at this moment, Wu Daoyu is standing on the front line, and Zhao Clan
People who are directly fighting. At this moment, the imperial family is staying out of the matter, which is equivalent to a direct confrontation between the Right Prime Minister and the Zhao clan. Wu Daoyu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Under such a situation, if he makes a mistake, before the Zhao clan can take action, someone within the military department may jump out.
Get angry.
In the vast void, a shabby aeroboat was sailing, and its speed could not be said to be fast.
Qianye walked into the control room and saw that there were almost no moving marks on the route map. He felt helpless. He was used to riding on imperial warships, and Song Zining's ship was incredibly fast, but now this ship was so slow.
Like a snail, it is not much faster than a heavy cargo ship.
"How long will it take to reach the neutral ground?" Qianye has asked this question countless times.
The captain is tall and tall, with a full beard, and always has a shiny dark red pipe in his mouth. According to him, this is just a common hobby, but Qianye heard that the people wandering in the void
Pirates all like to use pipes. A rare pipe is a symbol of a great pirate's status.
Hearing Qianye's question, the captain grinned and said, "We'll be there in a few days."
This is the answer every time, which makes Qianye's ears get calloused. From the time of takeoff, the captain said that it would arrive in a few days, and now, the answer is still the same. According to the progress of the route map, it will be at least another day.
It would take seven or eight days to reach the outskirts of the neutral ground.
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and fire suddenly appeared from the corner of the console, followed by thick smoke. As soon as the console failed, an engine outside stopped rotating. The bearded man frowned, walked over and kicked the control
He put the machine on the stage and punched it a few more times. The console miraculously returned to work and the engine started again.
The captain turned around and smiled at Qianye: "This kind of minor problem can be cured with just a few taps. There is no need to fix it at all."
Looking at the console with footprints and charred remains, and looking at the empty void outside the porthole, Qianye always felt less safe.
The captain chuckled and said, "It's okay. When did my Red Pipe ship have an accident? This old guy has been with me for twenty years, and he couldn't be more reliable."
Qianye looked at the rusty cabin roof, then at the dozens of control levers on the console, as well as the power pipes with several patches. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that the ship was only about 30 years old.
Twenty years.
The captain scratched his hair and said, "That's right. When I got it, it was already one hundred and forty years old."
Seeing the strange look in Qianye's eyes, Hongyandui hurriedly said: "Don't think it's old, but it's strong and much better than those boats with thin shells nowadays. You really made a profit by buying this old guy.
Here we are. Your silver boat is beautiful indeed, but is it useless in a place like the Neutral Land? It was sunk with one shot."
Qianye couldn't bear his bragging and said: "The ballista on that silver boat can sink this old antique with one shot."
The captain chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true."
