Chapter 294 Zhao Meng's Bet
That's right. The more Zhao Meng looked at the driver, the more certain he was. This person had the same features as Lin Feng except for his face.
If this person was Lin Feng, who was in the carriage he was driving?
Han Xu?
Zhao Meng thought it was unlikely to be Han Xu. The voice just now sounded like a middle-aged man, and a middle-aged man who had been in a high position for a long time.
People's voices can be disguised, but the tone and habits of speaking are difficult to disguise.
In order to get close to Han Xu, Zhao Meng spent a lot of time studying Han Xu's habits. Based on the information he learned, he could conclude that Han Xu was definitely not in the carriage.
But Lin Feng was Han Xu's confidant, so even if the person in the carriage was not Han Xu, he must be related to him.
And Lin Feng was an extraordinary strong man. It was impossible for an ordinary person to make him condescend to be a coachman.
"It's the King of Wei!" Zhao Meng's mind was running fast, and he quickly came to a conclusion.
The most likely person who is related to Han Xu and wants to come to the royal city at this special stage can only be the King of Wei.
Because the news that his son Wei Tong was arrested and was about to be beheaded has been made public, the King of Wei has enough reasons to venture into the royal city.
At this time, Zhao Meng was in a dilemma. Whether to let this group of caravans into the city was the biggest problem he was facing.
If he met a suspicious person according to his duties, he must track him down to the end, especially since this person is very likely to be the wanted King of Wei, and he must not let him in.
The King of Wei came to the royal city to save Wei Tong. In this case, the people in this group of caravans must be the top masters of the Southern Border Army and the most elite warriors under the King of Wei.
If such a group of people were allowed to mix into the royal city, they would definitely have a fierce battle to save Wei Tong.
Moreover, if the King of Wei was put into the royal city by him, he would definitely be found out afterwards. At that time, not only him, but the entire Zhao family would face a catastrophe.
Out of reason, Zhao Meng could not let them into the city.
But for some reason, when Zhao Meng saw Lin Feng, he couldn't help but think of Han Xu.
The boy who had been a waste in the royal city for six years. Before he went to the southern border, everyone thought he was a waste who only knew how to hang out in brothels all day and didn't know how to practice. Who could have guessed that he was the most terrifying genius in the history of the Dawu Dynasty.
Born with a Taoist body, he reached seven realms in one day.
On the banks of the Qingjiang River, he killed more than a hundred masters in the martial arts world by himself.
On the top of the Wushen Mountain, he broke through the ninth rank in battle and defeated the Holy Son to become the first of the younger generation.
He led the Suzaku Army and flattened the Wushen Cult.
Ever since Han Xu showed his talent for cultivation, he has been constantly creating miracles. Although he started practicing late, breaking through realms seems to be as common as eating and drinking water for him.
In a short period of time, Han Xu has been constantly refreshing people's cognition. It seems that nothing is impossible for him.
Even if someone tells Zhao Meng now that Han Xu is an extraordinary strong man, he will not be surprised.
Of course, if he knows Han Xu's true realm, he will be shocked.
Han Xu is a genius who creates miracles.
Zhao Meng firmly believes that as long as Han Xu is given time, he will definitely become a strong man standing at the top of the Great Wu Dynasty in the future.
Especially after seeing Han Xu's talent, Zhao Meng often has a rebellious idea in his heart, that is, one day, even the Wu Emperor will not be Han Xu's opponent.
And the King of Wei is Han Xu's most respected elder, no one else, and Zhao Meng also knows this.
If the King of Wei is allowed to enter the city now, Zhao Meng and his family will have huge risks, but if the King of Wei is arrested now, let alone whether it can be successful, even if it succeeds, it will completely offend Han Xu.
Now is the best time to get Han Xu's friendship. If Zhao Meng can help the King of Wei at this time, Han Xu will definitely remember this favor with his character of valuing friendship and righteousness.
The favor of a future peerless strongman is undoubtedly priceless.
But the problem is that if he wants to get the benefits of this favor, he must be alive.
Therefore, Zhao Meng fell into a dilemma.
He didn't speak, nor did the housekeeper, and no sound came from Lin Feng and the carriage behind him.
The atmosphere gradually became a little tense, and the soldiers of the imperial army seemed to feel something, and their hands holding the long spears tightened unconsciously.
The guards beside the carriages also became alert, and their bodies were a little tense, as if they were accumulating strength.
"All retreat." Zhao Meng suddenly said to his soldiers. After breaking the silence, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned and stepped aside.
Then, Zhao Meng walked towards the carriage. When the housekeeper saw him walking over, his body suddenly became agile, and he came to Zhao Meng and stopped him. At the same time, Zhao Meng felt several strong auras falling on him, which made him a little breathless.
The housekeeper said: "My master doesn't like strangers, please forgive me."
Just kidding, how can a businessman not see strangers? If so, how can he do business?
At this time, Zhao Meng showed his calm side. He lowered his voice and said to Lin Feng: "Zhao Meng from Jiuxiao Academy wants to see you."
Lin Feng did not answer immediately, as if he was communicating with the people in the carriage. After a while, the people in the carriage said: "Let him in."
The housekeeper then made way, and Zhao Meng walked towards the carriage. Seeing this, the soldiers who retreated realized that something was wrong and shouted: "Captain!"
"It's okay, I'll check it myself." After hearing what Zhao Meng said, they didn't go forward.
Zhao Meng entered the carriage and saw a tall middle-aged man. Although he didn't release any momentum, just the awe-inspiring look made Zhao Meng feel awe from the bottom of his heart.
He mustered up his courage and said directly: "Zhao Meng pays respect to the King of Wei!"
"Do you recognize me?"
A strong pressure came over him, and Zhao Meng knelt directly on the floor of the carriage. He was sure that as long as the man in front of him had a slight thought, he would disappear from this world.
Zhao Meng said: "I am a friend of Mr. Han Xu."
After saying that, the pressure suddenly disappeared, Zhao Meng's body lightened, and he lay directly on the ground, and then climbed up in a mess.
The King of Wei looked at him and said calmly: "Since you recognized me, how do you plan to deal with me?"
Zhao Meng's heart tightened. He knew very well that what he said next would determine the future of him and his family, and even life and death.
"I just came to confirm whether you are really a merchant from the Western Territory."
"What's your result?"
"I just said that I am a friend of Mr. Han Xu." After saying that, he respectfully withdrew from the carriage and said to his soldiers, "They are indeed merchants from the Western Territory, let them go."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Meng in surprise, then drove the carriage slowly into the royal city.
Until their figures disappeared in the city gate, Zhao Meng realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
He just violated his own reason and made a big bet with his own and the entire family's future.
Zhao Meng looked towards the direction of the royal city. This magnificent city seemed to have turned into an ancient beast that eats people.
"Tomorrow is the day when Wei Tong will be executed. Everything depends on God's will."
That night, Yang Zhuo, who had a broken arm, dragged his seriously injured body back to the royal city at night. He went directly to see the Emperor Wu without time for treatment and reported everything that happened in the northern border.
He thought the Emperor Wu would blame him, but he didn't.
Emperor Wu just said: "It seems that Han Xu will definitely come."
Just as Emperor Wu said this, a carriage fell from the sky at Fengling Inn, 30 kilometers outside the royal city, and Han Xu got off the carriage and entered the inn.
