Chapter 138: The Hongmen Banquet (1)
On a small hill, Zhao Ziyin was looking into the distance in deep thought, as if he was completely unaware of everything around him...
“General!!”
A voice awakened Zhao Ziyu, who was immersed in his own world of thought. He tilted his face slightly, then straightened it after a moment and looked into the distance.
"Is it really okay to do this?" The person who came was Wu Yao. He stood behind Zhao Ziyin on the left side. He had been with Zhao Ziheng before, but he didn't know when he returned to Zhao Ziyin's side. What did he mean by what he said? It was not difficult to hear some uneasiness in his tone.
However, Zhao Ziyan did not answer, but continued to look into the distance, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.
Seeing that Zhao Ziyan didn't say anything, Wu Yao didn't dare to ask any more. After all, they were of different status. But he felt a little dejected. He never doubted Zhao Ziyan's actions, and even he himself agreed with Zhao Ziyan's decision this time. But ... he just felt a little uneasy.
After a long while, Zhao Ziyin suddenly spoke up. "You've been with him for quite a while, right?"
Wu Yao was stunned, obviously not reacting.
Zhao Ziyin continued: "That person is the one you chose, so remember, if it is the order of the person you choose to be loyal to, you must obey, and you can never question his judgment and choice."
"But isn't this too risky this time?" Wu Yao questioned, still very worried.
"As long as we face a battle, how can it not be an adventure?" Zhao Ziyan answered calmly, as if it was a matter of course and a very common thing.
"But this time is different. He is going to the enemy's base camp, and he is only taking those few people..." Wu Yao understood what Zhao Ziyan said, but he was still very worried. Even in the past, the risk was not as high as this time.
"Wasn't the incident in Weicheng the same as this time? Even more dangerous." Zhao Ziyu suddenly mentioned.
That's right. After all, Weicheng, where Zhao Ziheng went secretly, was Zhou Yan's territory. Not only was there a heavy military presence there, but there was also a plague at that time. Even if Wang Ye was there, it would be extremely risky to go there rashly before finding a way to treat the disease. Once infected, the consequences would be disastrous. This time, he was only worried about the other party's tricks. To be honest, when he knew that Zhao Ziheng was going to [Rucheng] with Feng Qinghan, Zhao Ziyin almost lost his self-control and wanted to bring Zhao Ziheng back. However, he knew that he could not bring Zhao Ziheng back.
Zhao Ziyin reminded him of that time. He was still confused about the purpose of going to Weicheng. In the end, he took Wang Ye's successful rescue of the plague as a matter of course. But now it seems that it is not just that. Whenever Wu Yao thinks of the trip to Weicheng, he feels an indescribable sense of disharmony. He can't tell where it is. If it was just about the plague, it would not be their turn to ask about it. Moreover, Zhao Ziheng went there in person. Not to mention the danger, even if Zhao Ziheng really wanted to go, there was no need for him to go there in person. Thinking of this, Wu Yao felt that he had the same . If the last time was to investigate the plague, then what was the purpose this time? To solve the enemy? But is it necessary to take such a risk?
Zhao Ziyin had not known when he turned sideways to look at Wu Yao who was immersed in his own thoughts. Whenever he looked at Wu Yao, Zhao Ziyin could not help but sigh at his progress. It was not difficult to see that Wu Yao was a real talent after being discovered and guided by Wang Ye. Talented people who were both good at literature and martial arts and could calmly analyze various things were rare, and it was even rarer to find someone who progressed so fast like Wu Yao. Such a talent would sooner or later be able to stand on his own and would surely go down in history.
"Wu Yao." Zhao Ziyan called out.
"Huh?" Wu Yao woke up immediately after hearing the voice and looked up to meet Zhao Ziyan's gaze.
"If he takes such a risk and disregards his life for personal reasons, what would you do?" Zhao Ziyu asked calmly.
Wu Yao felt bewildered and confused, as if he had no idea what Zhao Ziyan was talking about.
Perhaps seeing Wu Yao's doubts, Zhao Ziyin further explained: "It means that everything he did was just for one person."
At this point, even if Wu Yao was slow-witted, he could understand what was meant. He widened his eyes with an expression of complete disbelief.
Looking at Wu Yao's expression, Zhao Ziyin had already guessed the answer. He felt that this reaction was normal. On the one hand, he felt helpless for Wu Yao's slowness, but on the other hand, he understood his reaction. In short, if he were to stand in Wu Yao's position, he would probably have the same reaction. Even if he wasn't, he would probably have the same reaction. The reason was very simple. The monarch he had always been loyal to and believed to be the wisest had done all these amazing things just for one person. It felt like a betrayal, an inexplicable betrayal. However, if you think deeply about it, who does something without a reason? It's just that everyone has different reasons. As long as they are willing to do it, no matter what the reason is, Zhao Ziyin thinks it is acceptable. This is what he noticed from Zhao Ziheng.
Looking at Wu Yao again, he still had a dazed expression. Zhao Ziyan sighed softly in his heart, thinking that perhaps this was still difficult for Wu Yao to understand, but even if he couldn't understand it, it was understandable.
