But as a price, the clan government will not come forward to organize Zhao Yuanli's funeral.

Although Zhao Hongrun felt angry, he could also understand Zhao Yuanyan's embarrassment. After all, in the Zhongyang Palace that day, Zhao Yuanli, the uncle of the Sixth Prince, did something to force the palace to commit suicide in full view of the public. If the clan government was making arrangements for Zhao Yuanli's funeral with great fanfare at this moment,

How would those princes and nobles view the clan in those days?

Therefore, the clan government will never interfere in Zhao Yuanli's funeral because it wants to maintain the ancestral system.

In fact, even Emperor Wei could not come forward.

Zhao Hongrun can only handle the funeral arrangements for Zhao Yuanli in his own name - in the name of his nephew.

Only in this way, those princes and nobles would keep this secret for the royal family for the sake of "the deceased is the most important" and acquiesce that Zhao Yuanli encountered an accident while escorting him on the night of Zhongyang Palace.

The next day, Zhao Hongrun arranged the funeral arrangements for Zhao Yuanli, the sixth uncle, at Prince Yi's Mansion.

In fact, there were still a lot of people who came to pay their respects that day. Whether they were princes, nobles or aristocratic families who knew or did not know, all representatives came to pay their respects. However, those who knew about it were almost all because of "Prince Su Zhao Run"

It comes from the face of.

Moreover, after these people expressed their condolences, they quickly left for various reasons and did not stay to eat.

It’s no wonder, after all, Zhao Yuanli, the uncle of the Sixth Prince, was not clear with Xiao Ni after all. They could come to pay homage to Zhao Yuanli based on his daily behavior and the face of Su Wang Zhao Run, but they must also draw a clear line with Zhao Yuanli - conspiracy.

To commit rebellion is a line that even the children of the Ji Zhao royal family cannot cross.

During this period, Zhao Yuanli's clan chief, Wang Jian, also came to pay his respects with Princess Yulong, who had been hiding in her boudoir in Prince Su's Mansion for the past two months.

At that time, Wang Jun couldn't help but bring up the old matter again and accused Zhao Hongrun of not leading his men to pursue them that day.

After all, Wang Jun had clearly persuaded Zhao Yuanli to escape at that time, but after seeing Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Yuanli immediately changed his mind - probably because he knew that he was the object of Zhao Hongrun's admiration, so Zhao Yuanli did not want to give this view in the end.

Like my own nephew, I set a bad example.

Listening to Wang Jun's duties, Zhao Hongrun said nothing at first, until he couldn't bear it anymore, he finally vented all the resentment he had suppressed in his heart these days, shouting until Wang Jun became silent.

In fact, Wang Jun also understood that in terms of grief in his heart, His Highness Prince Su might not be less sad than him. After all, His Highness had always regarded Uncle Liu Wang as his father.

After both parties calmed down, Wang Jun said to Zhao Hongrun: "Your Highness, I want to leave Daliang."

Zhao Hongrun looked at Wang Juan in confusion, not understanding what Wang Juan meant.

Seeing this, Wang Jian then explained: "Although the prince is no longer here, I hope that the prince's unfinished last wish can be fulfilled for the prince... In addition to a waterside pavilion, the prince still has many connections in the country, and among them there may be Xiao Luan's people.

I want to find these people out."

While saying these words, Wang Jun looked at Zhao Hongrun intently.

Although Zhao Hongrun is only the nephew of King Yi Zhao Yuanli, for so many years, in Wang Yan's view, there is no difference between Zhao Hongrun and the son of King Yi Zhao Yuanli. Therefore, as the so-called son inherits his father's inheritance, all the property, connections, and secrets of King Yi Zhao Yuanli

All power should be inherited by Zhao Hongrun, his nephew or adopted son.

In the same way, as the Zongwei of King Yi Zhao Yuanli, if Wang Jian wants to take action, he must at least obtain the consent of Zhao Hongrun.

"Any clues?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

Wang Jun shook his head and said truthfully: "Your Highness, there are two groups of people under the prince. One group is known to us Zongwei, the people on the surface, and the other group is unknown to me. I just feel that there is such a group.

Call someone."

As he spoke, he thought of the man who had disguised himself as a servant in Prince Yi's Mansion and freely entered and exited the study room to talk secretly with Zhao Yuanli.

Wang Jian suspected that this group of people had secretly cooperated with Xiao Ni. As for whether these people were from this side or Xiao Luan's side, even Wang Jian didn't know.

In comparison, Nightingale was a person on the surface. At least, Wang Jian knew that there were these people, but he didn't know that those Nightingales were all trained to be assassins.

"Be careful in everything and don't be reckless... Xiao Luan will be cut to pieces by me sooner or later!" Zhao Hongrun warned after thinking for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, he could not care about tracking down Xiao Luan for the time being. After all, the top priority now was how to repel the five-way coalition army that was conquering Wei.

Only by repelling the five-way coalition army could Zhao Hongrun have time to deal with Xiao Luan.

Therefore, before that, Wang Yan could only try to track down clues about Xiao Luan.

"Um."

After nodding his head, Wang Jian kowtowed a few times in front of Zhao Yuanli's coffin, and then left Prince Yi's Mansion and Daliang without looking back.

That night, sisters Ying'er and Que'er came to Prince Yi's Mansion to pay homage to their adoptive father.

Compared to Ying'er's enthusiasm at Zhongyang Hunting Ground, this woman treated Zhao Hongrun with unusual indifference today, and it was impossible to tell that they had been a romantic couple for a few days.

And this also made Zhao Hongrun understand one thing: Ying'er had no feelings for him at all. When she got close to him, Zhao Hongrun, she was just following Zhao Yuanli's order so that Zhao Hongrun had no time to pay attention to the strange things in Zhongyang.

, and finally managed to prevent Zhao Hongrun from attending the banquet in the palace.

Compared to Ying'er's indifference, Que'er's attitude was more direct and she directly stabbed Zhao Hongrun in the neck with a dagger.

However, Zhao Hongrun did not move, and Mi Jiang, who was kneeling next to him as his nephew-in-law and kept filial piety for Zhao Yuanli, also turned a blind eye.

Because Mi Jiang knew that it was impossible for Queer to really attack Zhao Hongrun.

Sure enough, after holding Zhao Hongrun's neck with a dagger, Que'er stated with an indifferent expression: "My foster father could still be alive..."

"Yes, Wang Jian said the same." Zhao Hongrun said calmly.

After venting his anger on Wang Jun during the day, he felt a little calmer at the moment.

After taking a deep look at Zhao Hongrun, Que'er put away the dagger, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Hongrun, and said indifferently: "Following the last wish of the adoptive father, from today onwards, Que'er will obey the master's orders."

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun didn't know what to say, but subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ying'er.

However, Ying'er said indifferently: "He left a waterside pavilion to you, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said.

Hearing this, Ying'er sneered and said, "But I won't do that... Zhao Run, I won't hand over a waterside pavilion to you. I will go to Xiao Luan myself to avenge my foster father."

But to Ying'er's surprise, after hearing her words, Zhao Hongrun didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he felt relieved.

Yes, a waterside pavilion is not only a gold-selling cave that makes a lot of money every day, but also an intelligence network with a wide coverage. However, Zhao Hongrun has no greed for it at all, because this family property was left after the death of Liu Wangshu.

Given to him - this made Zhao Hongrun instinctively resist this inheritance.

"Even so, you and I can cooperate. If you want to defend a waterside pavilion, Nightingale alone may not be able to do it, right? You might as well join hands with the Green Crows and Black Crows under my command... You can find Xiao Luan for me, and I

Come and kill him." Zhao Hongrun said calmly.

Hearing this, Ying'er's face paled slightly, because she had sensed that Zhao Hongrun was not coveting their adoptive father's huge fortune.

"I'll consider it."

After nodding, Ying'er spoke in a gentle tone. Then, she glanced at Que'er, who was still kneeling on one knee in front of Zhao Hongrun, without saying anything, turned and left Prince Yi's Mansion.

"What a pity..." Zongwei Mu Qing muttered from the side, but was glared at by Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Gao Kuo and other Zongwei.

Seeing this, Mu Qing hurriedly changed his words: "I mean, His Highness has lost a confidante, what a pity..."

Hearing Mu Qing's change of words, Zhao Hongrun smiled faintly.

He could tell that Ying'er had some emotions towards him, but one thing he was sure of was that this woman's father-daughter love for Uncle Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli was definitely not fake.

Therefore, he didn't mind leaving a waterside pavilion to Ying'er to take care of.

The intelligence network of the Green Crows and the Black Crows is under construction, so Zhao Hongrun does not care about Yishuixie's intelligence network, and after receiving the allegiance of Anling merchant Jia Wen Shaobo, Zhao Hongrun is not short of funds.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun did not care about the gains and losses of a waterside pavilion, and did not want to conflict with the nightingales because of these inheritances.

"My sister will return to His Highness...Although it is the order of her adoptive father, you are her only man after all."

Beside, Que'er said with an indifferent expression, not sure if he was comforting Zhao Hongrun.

Zhao Hongrun smiled lightly and said, "After killing Xiao Luan?"

"Yes." Que'er's eyes burst out with deep hatred, and she said expressionlessly: "After killing Xiao Luan!"

Seeing the unforgettable hatred in those eyes, Zhao Hongrun let out a breath and said lightly: "Don't worry, there will be such a day sooner or later, but before that..."

Having said this, Zhao Hongrun's expression darkened.

He denied that Wang Jun said that he killed the Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli. Zhao Hongrun interpreted this incident as the Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli learned that he was being used by Xiao Luan, which led to the five forces joining forces to attack Wei.

He felt regretful in his heart, so he died to apologize.

In other words, in Zhao Hongrun's understanding, it was the five parties of Qin, Han, Sichuan, Song, and Chu that forced his uncle Liu Wang to death.

Therefore, at the military council meeting in Ganlu Hall two days later, Zhao Hongrun said those words expressionlessly and with murderous intent.
