In fact, they saw Mu Qing and Lu Mu from a distance, and they knew at that time that the situation was not good.

To be honest, since they were demoted to guard the city gate by King Zhao Run of Wei, and each carried a funny wooden sign, Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao could be said to have lost all the shame they could possibly have in their lives.

Fortunately, not many people recognized him in the wild, but Gao Kuo was a close friend of the three religions. The knights in Daliang and Luoyang, and the "Gao Ye" in the mouth of the ruffians, referred to Gao Kuo.

You can imagine what the scene was like when the rangers and gangsters in the city saw the "Master" they longed for standing guard at the gate of the city with a wooden sign on his back.

In fact, this is not the most embarrassing thing. The most embarrassing thing is to be seen by familiar people, such as the two good brothers Mu Qing and Lu Mu.

Uh...yes, they are really good brothers.

In Gaokuo, while Zhongzhao and Zhongzhao were cursing secretly, they saw Mu Qing sitting on the horse pretending to be impatient and said: "Hey, you two, didn't you hear what I said? Look up!

"

"You bastard..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mu Qing. The cavalrymen of the Luoyang Imperial Guard behind Lu Mu also turned their heads curiously to this side. Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao both gnashed their teeth in hatred.

But as the saying goes, form is stronger than people, so they had no choice but to raise their heads honestly, look at Mu Qing with a somewhat flattering smile, and whisper: "Mu Qing, good brother, don't say anything..."

"hey-hey."

Mu Qing gave a bad laugh and deliberately raised his voice and exclaimed: "Huh? These are not my good brothers. Gao Kuo and Wei Cheng Zhongzhao, the two brothers from the left command of Tiance Mansion... How did they end up on duty at the gate of the city?

?”

"Captain Zuo of Tiance Mansion?"

"Master Gao Kuo and Master Zhongzhao?"

After hearing Mu Qing's exclamation, the group of Luoyang Imperial Guard cavalry following Mu Qing and Lu Mu subconsciously surrounded them, looking at Gao Gao as if they had seen something rare.

Kuo, Zhongzhao and the two of them looked at each other fiercely.

From the side, the people who were about to leave or enter the city also stopped to watch at this moment, and curiously asked around, asking about Tiance Mansion, Zuo Duwei and other words.

This made Gao Kuo and Zhongzhao's faces turn red.

"You bastard, are you going to force me to die with you?" Gao Kuo glared at Mu Qing and cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Mu Qing smiled evilly and licked his lips. He originally wanted to tease Gao Kuo, so he wanted to say a few words to the two of them. From the side, Lu Mu patted his arm and said with a suppressed smile: "Okay, okay, that's it.

, it will really get into a fight later... It would be embarrassing if you two really got into a fight."

After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, smiled and asked Gao Kuo, "What's going on? At first, our Majesty kept saying that he wanted to throw Mu Qing to the Youma Army to pick up horse dung. That was just talk. How can we take turns?"

You two have really been demoted? What did you do?"

Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao looked at each other and pointed to the sign behind their necks.

"Hmm."

Lu Mu suppressed a smile and nodded: "One will behead first and report later, and the other will not report what he knows. Hmm, I generally understand...what exactly is it? That kid Mu Qing was so unruly back then, but he didn't end up like you two."

End."

Gao Kuo sighed, and then told Mu Qing and Lu Mu about his conspiracy with Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang. Mu Qing and Lu Mu were stunned and gasped.

"Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang? That kind of person... you dare to conspire with him? And you also conspire to do something like that? No wonder our Majesty wants to punish you two severely. This is really self-inflicted!" Lu Mu said in astonishment

He shook his head and said.

"You will not live if you do your own misfortune." Mu Qing cheered from the sidelines, or in other words, he was gloating about his misfortune.

"You are not qualified to say this!"

Gao Kuo and Zhong Zhao glared at Mu Qing, and even Lu Mu looked at Mu Qing with a strange look.

Don't they know each other yet?

Among the ten clan guards, Mu Qing, the youngest, is definitely the one who seeks death the most.

Just one thing is enough to prove the extent of Mu Qing's willingness to commit suicide. He dared to make fun of His Highness's height!

In the whole country, inside and outside the court, who dares to make fun of Wei Wang Zhao Run's height?

This is definitely the taboo among taboos!

However, Mu Qing dared.

Therefore, it is really a miracle that this guy has not been thrown into the Youma Army to collect horse dung by Wei King Zhao Run, but has become one of the generals of the Luoyang Imperial Guard.

"Are you preparing to enter the palace to see His Majesty?" Gao Kuo asked Lu Mudao.

"Yes." Lu Mu nodded, and then explained with a strange expression: "The two of us received a transfer order from Tiance Mansion a while ago. Your Majesty is probably planning to transfer us to the west to fight with Qin..."

Here, he couldn't help but tease: "Why, you two don't know?"

Gao Kuo rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Just like when Zhang Qigong was punished, although he, Gao Kuo, and Zhongzhao were demoted to the east city gate by Wei Wang Zhao Run, the Green Crows would still report all the news in the country to them.

Of course, for the time being, they only have the right to know. Today's Tiance Mansion is personally controlled by King Zhao Run of Wei. This situation will probably last until Gao Kuo and Zongzhao are restored to their posts.

"Good brother."

With one hand hooked around the necks of Mu Qing and Lu Mu, Gao Kuo lowered his voice and begged: "When you two meet with His Majesty later, please put in a good word with Zhongzhao for me... Let me tell you, we are now

They are not even as good as the soldiers on duty. The soldiers on duty still have shifts after all, but the two of us stand from morning to night, carrying two embarrassing wooden signs... Good brother, please help me.

When I meet with His Majesty, please put in a good word for both of us and say that we have realized our mistakes and will never make them again in the future."

"This... is difficult to handle." Lu Mu said in an official tone.

Although he was not as sinister as Mu Qing and Zhou Pu, he felt quite happy looking at the appearance of his two good brothers at this moment.

"When this is done, brother, I will thank you deeply." Gao Kuo lowered his voice and whispered a few words in the ears of Mu Qing and Lu Mu.

Mu Qing and Lu Mu looked at each other and then nodded slightly: "Let's talk about it first. We will mention it casually when the time comes. As for whether His Majesty is willing to forgive you, it has nothing to do with us. The promise you made..."

"I understand, I understand." Gao Kuo said repeatedly.

At the same time, in the Chui Gong Hall of the palace, Wei King Zhao Run was discussing with the ministers of the inner dynasty the policy of dealing with Qin.

During this period, Zhao Run was not in a very good mood. On the one hand, it was certainly because of the Qin State, but on the other hand, it was because of the illness of Du You, the chief minister of the inner dynasty and the Minister of Rites.

Over the years, as a monarch, the reason why Zhao Run was able to fish three days and dry nets two days was that, in addition to the support from the inner court, he mainly relied on Du You, an old minister.

In Zhao Run's impression, Du You was an iron-clad minister, the kind of minister who was "upright and invulnerable to all evil". However, Du You's illness this time made Zhao Run suddenly realize that this

After all, this old minister is already over sixty years old and is no longer as healthy as he was twenty years ago.

The night before yesterday, Zhao Run personally went to Du You's house to visit the old minister and confessed in front of Du You's bed, because according to the imperial doctor, the reason why Master Du fell ill was due to old age and frailty.

On the other hand, it was due to overwork that he became ill - who made Zhao Run leave all government affairs to the inner court just to be lazy?

This made Zhao Run feel quite sorry.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

The meson owl's soft call interrupted Zhao Run's memory.

"..." Zhao Run glanced around the hall, and finally set his sights on Du You's desk.

Seeing this, all the ministers in the palace were suddenly enlightened and said in succession: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about Sir Du You. Sir Du You is still strong and will surely recover as soon as possible."

Zhao Run nodded, then looked at Jie Ziyu apologetically and said, "Jie Zi, please continue."

Naturally, Jie Ziu didn't mind the monarch's distraction just now, and continued after hearing this: "As I said just now, I support your Majesty's decision not to make peace with Qin, but given the current national strength of Wei, I do not recommend making peace with Qin.

The Qin State expanded the war. On the one hand, our country's national strength cannot afford another war. On the other hand, compared to the Qin State, I believe that the alignment should be tightened. The pressure from the two countries of Chu will not give it a chance to breathe...

"

"Master Jiezi is wrong!"

Xu Guan, the minister of the Inner Dynasty, said: "The countries have been newly defeated, and the three countries of Lu, Wei, and Han have fallen to the Wei Dynasty. Only the three countries of Qi, Chu, and Yue are left. Even if Qi and Chu unite in the future, they are destined to be unable to resist us.

The great army of the Wei Dynasty, even if we had enough money and food, we, the Wei Dynasty, could take advantage of the victory to advance the army this time, but it happened that there was not enough money and food, so we missed the opportunity to advance the army... As for the Qin State, although its army was brave, its national strength was insufficient.

with

We, the Wei Dynasty, are on par with each other. I suggest that we, the Wei Dynasty, should focus on restoring the economy of Han, Wei, and Lu, especially Han. Once Korea can restore its economy, it will be enough to contain Qi or Qin. I suggest,

It is better for us, the Great Wei, to pretend to make peace with Qin and devote ourselves to restoring the national strength. I think that in just five years, our great Wei can leave Qin, Qi, Chu, Yue, and Jieshi far away. Even if we, the great Wei, start a war on two fronts, we will not be able to do anything.

No one can stop it.”

After hearing this, Li Liang, the minister of the inner court, frowned and said: "Although Lord Xu's strategy is good, your Majesty declared war on all the countries in the world when he was in Daliang. Do you want your Majesty to take back those words?"

"This..." Xu Guan was suddenly speechless.

Seeing the various opinions among the ministers in the inner court, Zhao Run was also thoughtful.

Although he mobilized several more troops in the name of Tiance Mansion, to be honest, he also understood that it was not appropriate to expand the war with Qin at this time.

This is not a question of whether the fight can be won, but whether it is worth it.

Since it only takes five years of development to crush Qin with hard power, why rush to a decisive battle with Qin at this moment?
