Chapter 182 Zhao Yan who died

In the meeting hall of the Pingyuan Prefect's Office, Tao Ying, who was sitting with his head, stared motionlessly at Zhao Yan, who was standing in the hall with an arrogant expression.

"You came from Luoyang, are you really the city gate captain Zhao Yan?"

Tao Ying was staring at the eagle and his gloomy and cold eyes were staring at Zhao Yan standing in the hall like a hungry wolf.

"Of course!"

Facing Tao Ying's evil wolf-like eyes, Zhao Yan was not afraid at all, and he felt very disdainful.

"Just bluff!"

Not only did Tao Ying not go out to greet him, he neither stood up to greet him, but also looked suspicious and scrutinized, which made Zhao Yan, who had always been used to being flattered, very uncomfortable and dissatisfied.

"Wait, although you are General Guard, you offended me, Zhao, and you, General Guard, will not be able to grow up!"

Zhao Yan had made up his mind secretly. Even if Tao agreed to his elder brother Zhao Zhong's request this time, he would find a way to ruin Tao Ying's affairs when he went back.

"I don't believe it!"

Tao Ying suddenly sat upright, his cold eyes sharply pierced people.

"What are you, a city gate lieutenant, who will go to Qingzhou to find me to do?"

"Can you have a secret decree from the emperor to this marquis?"

At first, Tao Ying, Chen Deng and others thought that Zhao Zhong had learned about Jizhou, but seeing Zhao Yan's performance at this time, it didn't seem like he was coming to provoke an army to question him.

"Go, I'm afraid of false shouts!"

Facing the aggressive Tao Ying, Zhao Yan was not afraid at all. As long as Zhao Zhong is there, Zhao Yan will be confident wherever he goes.

"Don't say you are just a general of guard, so what if you are the general He Jin, I, Zhao Yan, are not afraid!"

Zhao Yan secretly despised Tao Ying's little thoughts in his heart, took off the seal from his waist and held it in his hand, shook it in the air, and stared at Tao Ying with disdain.

"This is the seal and ribbon of the city gate captain. If the Marquis of Jinan does not believe it, you can check it yourself!"

Tao Ying was not interested in Zhao Yan's seal at all, waved his hand and went straight to the point.

"Tell me, why are you here to find me?"

Seeing that Tao Ying was no longer tangled with his identity, Zhao Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Tao Ying, and looked left and right at the hall, frowned slightly.

"Jinan Hou, why not, let me tell you privately if you change the place?"

"Don't be too slow, hurry up!"

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, Tao Ying didn't even hesitate at all, and impatiently urged Zhao Yan to say it quickly.

"Apart from the outsiders you bring, all of us are my husband's confidants and brothers in robes, and we can't say anything to him!"

Tao Ying's eyes flashed through Chen Deng, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, and Sun Guan's faces one by one, and finally glanced at Ni Heng who was hiding behind Zhao Yan, and sneered.

"Okay, I will just say it!"

Seeing that Tao Ying had no intention of having a private chat, Zhao Yan did not insist, stared at Tao Ying with sinister eyes and raised Zhao Zhong's request one by one.

"The emperor can worship you as General of Guard and be granted the title of Marquis of Jinan. This is indispensable to the achievements of Zhao Zhong from Dachangqiu!"

"Therefore, Zhao Changshi hopes that the Marquis of Jinan can give up the power of the three counties of Jizhou to give up two prefects and ten county magistrates!"

Originally, Zhao Yan felt a little too much about his elder brother Zhao Zhong's request, but today Tao Ying's arrogance and his cold treatment made Zhao Yan suddenly realize that it was Zhao Zhong's method that made him feel relieved.

"In addition, if the Wuhuan rebels were wiped out this time, there would definitely be some gains. Zhao Changshi asked Jinan Hou to share half of the profits. Zhao Changshi guaranteed that Jinan Hou could be a stable general of guard!"

Zhao Yan requested that Tao Ying be shocked, even Chen Deng, Sun Guan and others were all moved.

"Hiss..."

"It's so cruel!"

"The appetite is too big!"

"I am so vicious that I am worthy of being the Ten Eternal Assistant!"

After Chen Deng and the others calmed down, they looked at Zhao Yan with a strange look on their faces.

"Isn't Zhao Zhong a brain ill?"

"Zhao Zhong is so arrogant. Could it be that he is crazy about gaining and losing his mind?"

"I don't know where Zhao's family has an old nest, I want to copy it again!"

...

Tao Ying was stunned and rubbed his cheeks hard with both hands to hide his rage.

"Compared to Zhao Zhong's cruelty, I, Tao Ying, can't even get on the table!"

Tao Ying, with a calm expression, looked at Zhao Yan, who was obviously not satisfied, and slowly reminded him.

"Tell me, what else do you have to ask for? I can't say it all, don't hide it."

Seeing that Tao Ying's reaction did not arouse, Zhao Yan felt a little disappointed and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"A dog that likes to bark will not bite people!"

"Tao Ying is so cunning, I'm afraid he's another Fu Xie!"

Although I had a little concern in my heart, at this point, Zhao Yan had no need to hide it anymore. At worst, I could just go back empty-handed.

"Zhao Changshi said that he would ask the Marquis of Jinan to give him another ten million yuan, which is considered the cost of the Marquis of Jinan to buy guards and the Marquis of Jinan!"

Tao Ying was numb, Chen Deng, Yan Liang and others were numb.

"Hiss!"

Even Ni Heng, who was standing behind Zhao Yan and being pulled from the city gate to watch the show, looked speechless.

"The eunuch Zhao Zhong, he is already crazy!"

Although he was not in dealing with Tao Ying, at least Ni Heng still understood the common sense.

It takes a lot of effort to get the position of General Zhao Zhong or eunuch, or Yuan, who is the fourth generation and the third generation of Yuan, would have to take some time, let alone a title of Marquis of Jinan.

"No matter how greedy the emperor is, he will not be as stupid as this!"

...

Tao Ying, who was originally extremely angry, was suddenly amused by the greed of the Zhao brothers. The anger in his heart receded like a tide, changed to a sitting position, looking at the complacent Zhao Yan with great enthusiasm.

"I want to ask, how did your elder brother Zhao Zhong make me become this General of Guard, the Marquis of Jinan?"

Tao Ying was confused, and Zhao Yan was not a sensible person either.

"This, I am not very clear about the matter in the palace. My elder brother never tells me that it is a royal secret..."

Zhao Yan, who was dodging his eyes, knew very well what his elder brother Zhao Zhong was thinking, it was nothing more than threats and blackmail.

"Without any reason, why should I help you? Don't be naive!"

Zhao Yan's expression fell into the eyes of everyone in the hall. He was full of human spirits, how could he not understand the twists and turns?

"Hmph, this Zhao is getting further and further on the road to death!"

Tao Ying did not intend to be with Zhao Yanxu again. Anyway, he had confiscated Zhao's old nest and had a deep grudge. The second person from Zhao who came to his door naturally could not let the tiger return to the mountain.

"Killing Zhao Yan is equivalent to breaking his Zhao Zhong's hands and feet!"

Tao Ying sat down slowly again, his eyes becoming loud.

"I just said, you are not a city gate captain, you are actually a lunatic!"

His eyes passed by Zhao Yan and turned to Ni Heng behind him. Tao Ying decided to pull Ni Heng into the water.

"Ni Heng, don't you claim to be the smartest and most upright person in the plains and even the Han Dynasty? Let's talk about it, what does the city gate lieutenant do?"

...

Ni Heng, who was following Zhao Yan, had a heavy face, and his chest was filled with mixed feelings.

Ni Heng originally thought Tao Ying took the opportunity to freeze him to death on the plain city, but he didn't expect to send Tao Qiuhong to release him.

But I remembered Tao Ying's humiliation before, and the people of the plains pointed at him, and they had already heard someone calling him "a gentleman on the wall", which made Ni Heng's anger against Tao Ying grow again.

"If I don't give Tao Ying a little color this time, I will definitely lose my reputation!"

Zhao Yan couldn't count on him anymore, and Ni Heng's right hand quietly touched the hilt hidden around his waist.

The knife was asked by Ni Heng at the gate of the city from Zhao Yan who insisted on taking him to Tao Ying to find Tao Ying.

"As long as I rush forward and pierce Tao Ying's heart, I, Ni Heng, will be famous in history!"

Just as Ni Heng was about to draw his sword, Tao Ying suddenly called him, which shocked Ni Heng to death.

"Uh..."

Ni Heng, who came back to his senses, quickly gave up the idea of ​​drawing his sword. He slightly deviated from Zhao Yan in front of him, and looked straight at Tao Ying sitting on the ground.

At this time, Tao Yingzheng stared at him with cold eyes, which made Ni Heng feel like he fell into an ice cave. He did not have the confidence and support of Zhao Yan, and he ignored it.

"It seems that you, Ni Heng, not only do not understand the rituals of saints, but also have a little back on your ears!"
