When Zhao Kuo came out of the palace, King Zhao no longer opposed Dong Chengzi's visit to investigate the warriors in the palace. This made these warriors very angry and thought they had been insulted. Dong Chengzi took people to investigate, check their weapons and equipment one by one, and then asked what they did on the day the envoy of Yan State was assassinated. That night, six warriors thought they could not bear such insults and committed suicide directly.

This surprised Zhao Kuo very much and hurriedly asked Dong Chengzi to stop his direct investigation of them.

Then, Zhao Kuo rushed to the courtyard where the King of Pingyang was. Sure enough, as King Zhao said, Zhao Bao was very weak. He lay on the bed and just looked at the top in a daze. After Zhao Kuo arrived, he turned over and ignored Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo wanted to talk to him, but Zhao Bao didn't say a word, so Zhao Kuo could not continue talking to him. Zhao Kuo had to ask Dong Chengzi to investigate the situation after Pingyang Jun arrived in Handan.

Sure enough, Dong Chengzi discovered some clues, and patrol soldiers testified. He saw a group of warriors entering the mansion. At that time, their attitude was very bad, and they threatened that they had a conflict with the soldiers at the invitation of King Pingyang. This made Dong Chengzi very happy. He began to search for the clues. Later, he obtained a new information, saying that more than a dozen people in the soldiers guarding the palace asked for leave to go out that day.

Dong Chengzi did not tell anyone what he had. He found Zhao Bu and talked quietly about the situation of the soldiers in the palace. During the conversation, he learned that the soldiers who asked for leave that day were from the same place... Pingyang, and their purpose of asking for leave was also clear. He heard that his Fengjun fell ill, and they wanted to visit their Fengjun. Dong Chengzi no longer hesitated and directly took the soldiers and Zhao Bu into the military camp, and wanted to capture the soldiers.

The soldiers looked very surprised and wanted to incite their colleagues to resist? Still here Zhao Bu is still here? Because of Zhao Bu's order, the other soldiers did not act rashly? Dong Chengzi took the soldiers back? After taking them back, he detained the soldiers in different places. At the same time, the interrogation began. At first, their words were consistent. They all said that they were visiting Pingyang Jun and then left.

But when Dong Chengzi asked about those meticulous things, such as where everyone went after leaving Pingyang Mansion, what did Pingyang Jun tell them? When answering such sensitive questions, they began to hesitate, and almost everyone said something different. Dong Chengzi was already sure that these people were definitely inseparable from assassination, so he strengthened the means of interrogation.

Dong Chengzi had already had his own thoughts in his heart. But he was just a little Siko? He was not able to oppose Pingyang Jun, but when Ma Fujun arrived here, he could do things according to his own ideas. Dong Chengzi could not let these soldiers tell the truth? Either he was silent? Or he wanted to commit suicide? Dong Chengzi had no choice but to come to Zhao Kuo. After Zhao Kuo asked this, he got the truth from the captured soldiers. It was indeed Pingyang Jun who ordered them to assassinate the envoy of Yan State.

They were hidden among the samurai. After assassination, the other samurai provided cover and fled directly into the palace.

These soldiers also followed Zhao Kuo to fight. They did not dare to deceive Zhao Kuo. Dong Chengzi recorded the words of these people and then went to the palace to pay homage to King Zhao.

There were only King Zhao, Dong Chengzi and Zhao Kuo in the palace. King Zhao looked very calm, from beginning to end. He just lowered his head quietly and waited for Dong Chengzi to tell King Zhao everything he knew. King Zhao nodded slightly. When Dong Chengzi finished saying everything, King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo and asked, "What do you think should be done about this matter?"

"I am not Si Kou, I should be dealt with by Dong Chengzi." Zhao Kuo said.

King Zhao nodded and then looked at Dong Chengzi. Dong Chengzi frowned and said seriously: "The law was first established that the murderer would be sentenced to death. I have sent someone to arrest Pingyang Jun, but Pingyang Jun did not resist. He truthfully admitted his mistakes and could reduce the death penalty and use the title to offset it. According to the law, his title will be exempted, and he will become a commoner, and he will be sent to imprison him."

"Because his son Zhao Bu is not aware of this matter, he can be exempted from punishment."

"The warriors who worked for him went out privately, participated in assassination, mingled into the palace, and punished multiple crimes. Those who held crossbows were executed, and the rest were sentenced to ten years of service according to the law." Dong Chengzi was still very familiar with the laws he had formulated. When he finished all the punishment results, King Zhao nodded and said, "You are right."

"But... Pingyang Jun is already very old and is seriously ill on the bed, so I demoted him to a commoner and let him recuperate in the mansion." King Zhao said, Dong Chengzi pondered for a moment before nodding. King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "The Longyang Jun of Wei and the Jiangqu of Yan State want to meet you very much... You can go and meet them... Especially the Longyang Jun, who is a famous beauty in the world..."

When Zhao Kuo heard the word Long Yang, his face was stunned. How good is Long Yang? Is this Long Yang Lord of Wei? However, Zhao Kuo nodded and agreed to King Zhao.

After they all left, King Zhao sat quietly for a long time again. He sighed, lowered his head, and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Things were completed smoothly, and Dong Chengzi was still very happy. He followed Zhao Kuo out of the palace and said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have allowed Pingyang Jun to confess... However, I didn't expect that Pingyang Jun would confess so easily..." Zhao Kuo shook his head. He still doesn't understand why Pingyang Jun assassinated Jiang Qu. Is it just to frame Xinling Jun?

But this is too illogical. Even if Xinling Jun killed Jiang Qu, King Zhao would not let him confess his guilt. He could even take the initiative to declare war with Yan State and force Yan State to swallow the bitter fruit. This was useless at all. Besides, he was the one who killed Chang'an Jun. What's the relationship with Xinling Jun? Zhao Kuo was confused, but at this moment, Dong Chengzi had already shifted the topic to Long Yang Jun.

According to Dong Chengzi's description, this Long Yangjun is a handsome and indescribable handsome man.

This made Zhao Kuo a little curious. After parting with Dong Chengzi, he drove to visit the two envoys, first to visit Longyang Jun. The place where Longyang Jun lives is not far from the palace. When the warrior of Wei respectfully took Zhao Kuo into the palace, Longyang Jun hurried to greet him. Zhao Kuo then saw this handsome man. Dong Chengzi did not lie. Zhao Kuo had never seen such a delicate man.

The faces that were more delicate than many girls, with a gentle smile, did not look feminine, but were a little sunny. Zhao Kuo quickly paid homage to him. Long Yangjun looked at Ma Fujun in front of him seriously. He seemed very kind. He held Zhao Kuo's hand and took him to the inner room, "I have heard of your reputation for being a good person, but unfortunately I have no chance to meet. This time I went to Zhao State to make my own proposal."

"I just want to meet you."

Long Yangjun seemed to respect Zhao Kuo very much, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he took Zhao Kuo into the inner room. When Zhao Kuo saw another person sitting here, he hurriedly got up and paid a respectful visit to Zhao Kuo. Long Yangjun smiled and said, "This is the general of Yan State..." Zhao Kuo hurriedly paid a visit to him. Long Yangjun insisted that he sit in the upper position, but Zhao Kuo refused. Long Yangjun then let him sit aside.

"I became even more ugly when Long Yangjun and Ma Fujun are here..." Jiang Qu said with a smile. After an inexplicable assassination, he still looked very humorous and witty. He never avoided the topic of appearance, and he didn't seem to be inferior because of his appearance. However, Long Yangjun shook his head and said, "There is a gentlemanly temperament that no one can compare to. Sitting next to such a person, I become ugly."

"How could it be?"

"I heard that when a gentleman is around him, villains will feel ashamed and realize their humility. This is probably what I am."

"You are the vassal king of Wei. You can give the King of Wei a good suggestion and persuade him to do the right thing. How can such a person be called a villain?" Jiang Qu shook his head and said helplessly: "On the contrary, I have no talent to govern the country, but I have been entrusted with important tasks by the king and cannot do anything that is beneficial to the country. I just eat the king's salary for nothing. Only a mediocre person like me can be considered a villain."

The three of them started chatting gradually.

Zhao Kuo did not drink, and the other two drank a lot, and they were already drunk. The more they chatted, they became happier. Long Yang Jun smiled charmingly, looked at Zhao Kuo on the side, and said seriously: "I just got my current status by virtue of beauty. Not only in Wei, but in other countries, no one respects me. They regard me as a toy, think I am obscene, and in Zhao, some even want to sleep with me... Hahaha, do you say, men can't fall in love with men?"

"Can't men fall in love with men do something big?"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time before saying, "Anyone can choose the person they love, I don't think there is anything."

Long Yangjun fell silent, took another sip of wine, and Jiangqu, who was standing beside him, shakingly smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? I have the ability to govern the country... It's because of my appearance, but I can only serve as a minor official. I have to pay ten times more than others to get respect from others... I have never dared to relax and have no day to rest, but in the end, I am not even a vassal..."

"Even a young boy who has not made any achievements can become a vassal king and show off his power in front of me. Why can't I?"

Zhao Kuo looked at the two people in front of him, sighed, picked up the drink, and took a big sip. Then he sighed: "Everyone has his own suffering..." At the end of the banquet, Jiangqu was helped away, but Long Yangjun was completely drunk. He held Zhao Kuo's hand, laughed and cried. Zhao Kuo asked someone to send him into the room, left here himself, and rushed to Dong Chengzi's mansion to rest.

.........

Outside the lively Mafu Township, a group of guests came again. There were more than twenty of them, each riding horses. These knights surrounded an official. When the prison gate came forward and stopped these people, the people immediately got off the horse. Their faces were dark and they looked like they were all weathered soldiers. Zhao Quidhi stopped them and looked at them seriously, but his face was full of smiles.

"Please hear what instructions do you have?"

"Oh...", the leading knight sighed, lowered his head, and said sadly: "Lieutenant Xu Li is seriously ill... This is a letter from Ma Fujun. Ma Fujun wants his wife to quickly rush to Handan..." Zhao Quhe was also shocked. Xu Li naturally knew it. He immediately picked up the letter and read it carefully for a moment. This was indeed Ma Fujun's handwriting. He hurriedly led these knights into Ma Fu Township.

These knights lined up neatly, and only the leader followed him into Mafu Township. The rest stood seriously at the door, motionless. Everyone who was coming and going couldn't help but admire him. They were really an elite force. Passers-by asked them, but they didn't answer, but just stood solemnly. When the leader walked into Mafujun's courtyard and told his wife the bad news about Xu Li.

Yi almost fainted.

Fortunately, Zhao's mother hurriedly supported her, and Zhao's mother almost started to cry. How could such a thing happen when Yi was about to be produced? Zhao Kuo was really, why did she tell Yi that such a thing happened at this time? Zhao's mother was so anxious that she kept crying. After Yi woke up, she wanted to rush to Handan immediately. Zhao's mother had no choice but to take her daughter-in-law to Handan in person.

Zhao's mother asked Gong Ping to help take care of Zheng'er, and then she supported Yi and got on the carriage. When Ge heard about this, he hurriedly walked out. He was worried that others would come to drive. Because Yi was pregnant, he drove for them himself, followed the knights and hurriedly left the place. Among Zhao Kuo's disciples, Yang Duanhe took the initiative to protect them, rode a horse, and left the horse uniform with the knights.

Shortly after they left, another group of guests came here. They were like the knights before, but they were not as neat as they were and looked a little lazy. The prison gate stopped them again.

"Ma Fujun wants Ma Fuzi to rush to Handan and accompany Gongzi Yan to study."

"What?"

The prison gate widened his eyes and asked again, "Is there any letter?"

“Of course there is.”

These people handed the letter to the prison gate, with the same handwriting and the same order, but changed the person who rushed to Handan into a horse cousin.

The prison gate laughed, nodded, and said, "Okay... Please wait here, I will bring the horse costumes out." Zhao Quhei turned around with a smile and walked into the horse costume township. The knights were waiting. Only a shout of killing sounds rushed out of the horse costumes. These were all disciples of the horse costume king. They rode fast horses and rushed towards the knights and immediately surrounded them.

More and more people rushed out of the horse uniform.
