Steel Dynasty - Chapter 77

[Chapter 77 Secret Message]

“Your Highness is a smart man.”

Zhou Ziyu glanced at Lu Fei hatefully.

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Lu Fei: “Let’s go, this matter no longer needs to be tried again.”

Zhou Ziyu showed a contemptuous smile and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness.”, and then he said to Lu Fei: ” Lieutenant Lu, our mountains remain green and our waters flow forever. We will meet again one day.”

“I’m afraid you won’t have this chance.” Xiao Ming suddenly turned to Lu Fei and said, “Prisoner Zhou Ziyu smuggled war horses. The Tong barbarians have committed extremely evil crimes and will not be forgiven. “

You dare, King Qi!” Zhou Ziyu suddenly panicked.

Xiao Ming turned around slowly, “Do you think it is me or you who is more important in the eyes of King Wei?”

“You…” The cell door was opened by Lu Fei, and Zhou Ziyu had a look of horror in his eyes.

He thought that King Qi did not dare to offend King Wei, so he was confident.

After all, King Wei’s fiefdom is only three hundred miles away from Qingzhou. If King Wei gets angry and fights against each other, then King Qi will not be able to look at him at all.

It is not surprising that armed fights often occurred on the borders of feudal lords’ fiefdoms.

But he didn’t expect that Xiao Ming would act so unreasonably.

But no matter what he was thinking, it was already too late. The sword flashed past, and the last thing he saw was the rolling ground.

Lu Fei put away his sword, cupped his fists and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

“No need, you are my king’s subordinate. If I allow others to bully me in front of me, where will my face be? But my father is getting more and more confused. Who can I don’t know if King Wei is the richest man in the world, and if he continues to recruit troops now, he will be defeated in the future. If he is a tiger or wolf, it will be me who will be unlucky. “

“What your Highness said is true, but the emperor may just use King Wei to restrain other vassal kings.” Fei said.

When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Ming jumped even further. In Xiao Wenxuan’s opinion, it was probably as long as someone from the Xiao family became the emperor. It didn’t matter who it was, as long as he didn’t fall into the hands of a king with a different surname.

“That’s all, that’s all. I don’t expect my father to support me. After all, in his opinion, it will take more than twenty years for me to catch up with King Wei.” Xiao Ming walked out of the prison.

Lu Fei followed up and asked: “I just killed Zhou Ziyu, how will your Highness explain to the King of Wei?”

The contempt in Zhou Ziyu’s eyes touched Xiao Ming’s heart. Since arriving here, his King Qi has not been affected by these things. The dignitaries of Dayu looked down upon him.

He couldn’t care about other people’s opinions of him, but he would not kowtow to the King of Wei like Zhou Ziyu thought, so he killed Zhou Ziyu.

He wanted King Wei to understand that he was not a ball of mud in the ground, and he could squeeze it however he wanted.

“Explain? I have nothing to explain. I just killed a smuggler who was smuggling war horses in Cangzhou.” Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei understood that Xiao Ming was preparing to pretend to be stupid.

Before the two of them had gone far, the cell leader suddenly trotted over and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, I found this in Zhou Ziyu’s dirty clothes.”

“Insane clothes?” “Xiao Ming frowned. The meaning of “obscenity” is equivalent to modern underwear. It’s disgusting for Zhou Ziyu to hide the letter in this place. He

tore open the envelope in disgust, Xiao Ming read it and just scanned it hastily. After taking a look, his expression suddenly changed,

“What’s wrong, Your Highness? “Lu Fei asked.

Xiao Ming gave him the letter. Lu Fei glanced at it with a look of horror…

Five days later, a mighty fleet docked at Tuojiang Pier.

The warships were connected to the sky with flags and iron ropes, stretching as far as the eye could see. The flags of the warships were swaying, and they could not be seen to the side. A big “Wei” on it was particularly eye-catching.

The fleet stopped, and five thousand soldiers in bright scale armor got off the ship, escorting a luxurious sedan with purple gold trim. Coming towards Qingzhou City,

lying in the sedan chair was the fat and bloated King Wei

, who was the third younger brother of Emperor Xiao Wenxuan of the Chongqing Kingdom. In the battle for the throne, he stood on Xiao Wenxuan’s side. It is precisely because of this

that

after ascending to the throne, Xiao Wenxuan fully rewarded his third brother.

In just twenty years, King Wei’s fiefdom became one of the rare richest places in the Chongqing Kingdom.

In the sedan, Xiao Yun looked at Qingzhou City through the gap in the curtains. The purpose of his visit was naturally for his businessman Zhou Ziyu. Ever since Xiao Wenxuan acquiesced to his smuggling of war horses, Zhou Ziyu had been responsible

for

this matter.

During the secret conversation with Xiao Wenxuan, this matter was kept strictly confidential so as not to arouse the vigilance of the vassal king with a different surname. However,

he

did not expect that Zhou Ziyu would be arrested by his nephew Xiao Ming at this time.

To come to Qingzhou in person, he only needed to write a letter, but there was a very important letter hidden on Zhou Ziyu. If Xiao Ming saw this letter, it would be really troublesome for

him .

Looking at the scenery, I felt worried.

“His Royal Highness King Qi has issued an order that no one except King Wei and his personal guards are allowed to enter the city! “

At the city gate, the Qingzhou city guards were heavily guarded. They faced the King of Wei and the accompanying five thousand soldiers and horses with solemn expressions. Lu Fei at the city gate had sharp eyes, staring at the generals on both sides of the sedan.

“Bold, this is the King of Wei’s vehicle. , who dares to stop it? “In King Wei’s team, a burly general wearing a red cloak and holding two hammers rode out.

Lu Fei shouted: “King Qi’s military order, who dares to stop him! “

The general was furious and was about to rush to the city gate. At this time, the voice of King Wei came from the sedan chair, “Cao Yu must not be rude. Visiting the fiefdoms of other vassals can lead troops into the city. You can bring four personal guards with me.” Just enter the city.”

“Yes!” Cao Yu glared at Lu Fei on the city wall, pointed out four personal guards, and followed the sedan into Qingzhou City.

After entering the city, Cao Yu said to King Wei: “Your Highness, this King of Qi is so rude. Not to mention that Your Highness is his elder. Even if guests come to visit, he should go out to greet them.”

King Wei smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that Xiao Ming had seen the secret letter, otherwise he would not have given him authority. He was relying on having leverage over him.

Arriving at Prince Qi’s Mansion, King Wei got off the sedan with the support of his maid and walked towards Prince Qi’s Mansion with heavy steps.

At this time, he saw Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu, the old butler of Prince Qi’s Mansion, standing at the door.

“Uncle Three Emperors came from afar, sometimes they were greeted from afar, sometimes they were not welcomed from afar.” Xiao Ming greeted him with a smile.

This time King Wei came with five thousand soldiers and horses on his trip, which was obviously to show him his muscles.

If Baba ran to greet him at the city gate, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing? It would make the people in his fief see him, and he didn’t want to have a pustule on the glorious image he had established.

Moreover, he had caught the king of Wei this time. He thought that the king of Wei was also guilty and would not care about these details.
