Sure enough, a team of cavalry rushed from the distance from the horizon. The guards at the wooden door of the camp quickly pushed open the wooden door and stood on both sides with their halberds. After a while, a large number of Zhao cavalry had entered the camp. The first person dressed in a general dressed in a fiery red cloak was the master father Zhao Yong.

According to the Zhao army system, the cavalry must immediately dismount and slow down after entering the camp, and it is strictly forbidden to gallop in the camp. After entering the camp, the cavalry also dismounted one after another. Only the master's father did not slow down and dismount, but instead waved his whip to speed up and galloped towards a corner of the camp.

Sima Xi stood there quietly, watching the master's father galloping towards him with a smile. Seeing his face getting closer and closer, his heart was in a state of ups and downs.

He rushed straight away. When he was only more than ten steps away from Sima Xi's body, Zhao Yong suddenly pulled the reins and stopped the galloping war horse. He flew off the horse like a flowing cloud and water. Before his feet were touched, he opened his arms and rushed towards Sima Xi with a smile.

"My good brother, it's been twenty years since we finally got the time to meet again today."

Sima Xi faced Zhao Yong's enthusiasm, but suddenly shrank his body as if he was backwards, took a step back to avoid Zhao Yong's hug, and just bent over and bowed respectfully, "Join the Lord's Father."

The smile on Zhao Yong's face froze instantly, his expression showed shock. He opened his arms and stood there, and was at a loss. After a while, he took his hand back embarrassedly and pretended to smile, "Sima, although you and I haven't seen each other for many years, the brotherhood has never changed. Why should we meet so much today?"

Sima Xi bowed slightly, his body was a little hunched, and he said slowly, "The master said so much. He was young and ungrateful, and he was not ethical, so he offended the king. Today, you and I are old people, how can we still not know the etiquette of the king and the ministers?"

Zhao Yong was silent for a long time, but his original joy was slowly lost. He heard something else from Sima Xi's words, a deep resentment and loneliness for twenty years.

He did not blame Sima Xi for being rude. On the contrary, it was him, Zhao Yong, who was their Zhao State who was sorry for Sima Xi.

The two of them were frozen there, their expressions were different, but no one spoke first to break the deadlock. Zhao Xin felt that except for the frozen atmosphere, he slowly retreated and left with tactfulness.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Yong smiled bitterly, "Sima, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and you and I are old. The young talent who was so energetic back then is now full of white hair. It's really time to urge people to grow old, and the hero is old."

Sima Xi was slightly straight and wanted to take care of it, and said with a slight look on his face. "My father is now strong and healthy, so he is not as old as me. But I am only a few years older than you, just like a person in his fifty or sixty."

Zhao Yong looked at Sima Xi carefully, feeling uncomfortable, but he didn't know what to say. He had to take the reins and walk a few steps, reach out and pat the horse's buttocks. The horse has been following Zhao Yong for many years, and he is very brave and knowingly leaves slowly.

Zhao Yong looked at the back of the mount that was leaving, slowly came to his senses, looked at Sima Xi and smiled bitterly, "You are blaming me."

"I was ambitious to reform and strengthen myself and to annex Zhongshan. I thought five years were enough, so I asked you to go to Zhongshan to cover me. But I didn't expect that the resistance to reform in China was so huge, so I had to slowly plan it. It was not until twenty-two years after I ascended the throne that I made a perfect arrangement and suppressed the reform in one fell swoop. But it made you suffer. I waited for me in Zhongshan for twenty years. It was me, Zhao Yong, who was sorry for you and delayed your life! If you want to blame me, scold me, or even whip me hard, I, Zhao Yong, feel at ease and will never have any complaints."

After saying that, he reached out and stuffed the whip into Sima Xi's hand.

"I don't dare." Sima Xi gently broke away, but a few bitter tears flowed out of his eyes.

"I dare not complain. I was the one who chose to go to Zhongshan back then, not because my father forced me. Even later, you promised me to leave at any time. I chose to stay by myself and I couldn't blame you."

"I was born in a humble origin. I was able to display my strengths by my Lord Father and be granted the title of marquis and ministers. From this point of view, I am no longer qualified to complain about anything. Lord Father, you do not despise me for being a humble person because of my birth, and you have always treated me with the courtesy of brothers. In this way, what are you afraid of even if you die?"

Zhao Yong reached out and grabbed Sima Xi's hand tightly, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said with a sob, "When my aunt went there, I was next to her. I knew she wanted to see you, but she couldn't bring you back. I'm so sorry."

Sima Xi shook her head and said with a tragic smile, "How glory and happiness is this for my mother, a mustard of grass, to die in the palace. I have no regrets in this life. Although I had to see her, I also know that you will treat her well, so I feel at ease."

Zhao Yong patted his shoulder and said, "Your brother, I have already asked him to be the magistrate of Zhongmu County. His wife is the youngest daughter of the doctor Zhao Ling, and I am a matchmaker myself. Now she has given birth to two sons and one daughter. I will take you to see each other in the next few days."

Sima Xi sighed and bowed, "Master, I know better than anyone else what kind of brother is. He is bold and greedy by nature. If you really feel guilty towards me, you might as well give him a hundred acres of fertile land instead of letting him do something Zhongmu Order, otherwise something will inevitably happen in the long run."

Zhao Yong's heart moved slightly, reached out and pressed Sima Xi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice with sincerity; "Sima, Zhongshan Kingdom is now over, and most of our ambitions have been realized. Now I am in the north, with strong soldiers in my hands, and all the princes in the world are tempted by me. It is the time to realize our original ambitions. Why don't you come back and help me, I am in charge of the army outside, and you are in charge of the government in the court, and you and my brothers join forces to unite the world to settle the world together, how about?"

"I am not talented and knowledgeable, but I cannot take on such a great task."

Zhao Yong waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "I know how talented you are. When it comes to being a minister, you may not be as respectful as Fei Yi. But when it comes to governing the country, Fei Yi is not your opponent of Sima Xi. The reason why I was willing to let you go to Zhongshan was that I thought I would be able to recruit you to the court soon, but I didn't expect that I would waste your talent in Zhongshan for 21 years in vain. Today is not too late. We can start over. After I return to the court, I will let you be the prime minister and let you take charge of the government affairs. Is it okay?"

Zhao Yong looked directly at Sima Xi with his eyes. He nodded in agreement with hope, but was disappointed that he did not see any waves in his eyes, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

Sima Xi just replied slightly, "I thanked the love of my master, but it's a pity that the old minister's heart is dead, and I'm no longer the ambitious young man back then. Moreover, Sima Xi is famous and well-known. Everyone in Zhongshan knows it, and many people in the world have heard of it. If the master's father wants to be a treacherous minister as a prime minister, he may be ridiculed by the people of the world. Moreover, the newly returned people in Zhongshan will inevitably complain, which is not conducive to your father's quelling Zhongshan."

"According to my wishes, Lord Father, you should kill me to calm the hearts of the people and vent the anger of the people."

"Stop." Zhao Yong clenched his fist tightly, jumped up and shouted loudly.

"Is it true that I, Zhao Yong, are such a villain in your eyes?"

Sima Xi bowed, "The master's father misunderstood. I just talk about the matter. As a minister, I am providing the best attention for his lord, and I am not wrong. If you cover up me and even use me, you will inevitably anger the descendants of Zhongshan. Therefore, the most suitable choice is to kill me to comfort the country in Zhongshan."

Zhao Yong had a blue face, gritted his teeth and looked at Sima Xi hatefully, and roared in a low voice: "If you say such a bastard, I, Zhao Yong, will have no brother in this life.

"Sima Xi's face showed a touch of emotion, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Master, you still have the same temper you used to be. Do you know what your biggest shortcomings are? It is that the king has the most personal feelings. You must know that the king can only let go of the extra feelings, be tough by nature, and be decisive in killing. Even if the other party is his parents and wife, he must be decisive in order to make the country."

"Nothing nonsense." Zhao Yong roared in a low voice.

"To be a king, you must be a human being. If you do anything for your own benefit, what is the difference between it and a beast? How can you be a king if you are not worthy of a man?"

"I, Zhao Yong, stand tall and upright, deserve my ancestors and ancestors, and the people of the right Zhao State are worthy of their conscience. I will always trust my words and do what I do. Let me crawl on the corpses of my brothers unless I die."

Sima Xi sighed slightly in her heart. Although she was a little happy, she was already very worried. Zhao Yong valued love so much, in other words, it was the kindness of a woman. He wanted to have a thought in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Master, I want to ask you for grace."

"But it's okay."

"I want to ask you to promise me something, such as how difficult it is to do it, you must promise to do it for me."

"Okay, I promise you, you can say that."
