Wuyang City.

Although this city is still the largest city in the entire Yan Kingdom, Wuyang City is obviously much deserted now than before the war begins.

Under the strong pressure from the Qi and Zhao coalition forces on Jidu, Yan State finally had to agree to the request to give up Wuyang City.

Since the city gate opened by the Wuyang Linglebi of Yan State five days ago and a large number of Zhao troops entered Wuyang City, the ownership of this city has been moved from Yan State to Zhao State.

This is the first time Wuyang City has fallen into the hands of an enemy country after its establishment.

After a few days, Wuyang City was still deserted, and most residents chose to hide at home and stared at the Zhao State patrol troops who had been passing outside the door from time to time with cautious eyes.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, all the residents of Wuyang City knew very well that although this was only the first fall of Wuyang City, Yan State might never be able to retake this city again.

Sometimes, losing once means losing forever.

On this day, Zhao Dan's king came to Wuyang City under the escort of five thousand Yulin Army and settled in Wu balcony.

A day later, Yanhou from Jidu and King Jian from Qi from Linzi arrived one after another.

So Zhao Dan held a small dinner in Wuyang City to welcome Empress Dowager Yan and King Jian of Qi.

It is worth mentioning that this time the young King of Yan also followed the Queen Mother of Yan.

The little King Yan was already a four and a half-year-old child who was nearly five years old. He sat there trying hard to maintain the demeanor of a king, but it was obvious that the crown on his head seemed a bit heavy to him, and the size of the royal robes on his body did not fit well, and it seemed that they were temporarily made.

And beside the King of Yan, the young Empress Dowager of Yan was also sitting there calmly, her pretty face was stained with frost, without saying a word, and did not eat any wine and food for the dinner.

It was actually a matter of disagreement between women and etiquette, even the empress dowager. However, Zhao Dan did not express his objection to this, so the other side of Qi Wang Jian was naturally very eye-catching and did not talk much.

To be honest, almost all those who are qualified to be at the dinner are mentally prepared to suddenly attack Zhao Dan at the dinner. After all, Zhao Dan did this in the previous few alliances.

This is actually a common practice for the leaders of the alliance. Simply put, it is to establish authority.

As expected, Zhao Dan did not make any provocation at the dinner, and was very enthusiastic and graceful, and was completely a qualified host style.

Yes, host.

After all, for Zhao Dan now, Wuyang City already belongs to Zhao State.

The banquet ended soon, and Zhao Dan sent King Jian away politely and enthusiastically, and then returned to the side hall of Wu balcony.

Here, Empress Dowager Yan and the young King Yan had been waiting for a while.

Zhao Dan sat down and quietly looked at Empress Dowager Yan in front of him, the woman who was born with her compatriots.

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Zhao Dan with a calm expression, and when she spoke, she was full of a tone of keeping people away from each other: "I wonder what is the important thing about King Zhao summoning the old woman to come?"

Zhao Dan glanced at the young King of Yan and hesitated a little.

Empress Dowager Yan noticed Zhao Dan's gaze, tightened her arm slightly, and hugged Xiaoyan King in her arms: "Since it is related to Yan State, then Ke'er, as the king of Yan State, naturally needs to be present."

Zhao Dan suddenly understood in his heart and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Does the Queen Mother think that I think I'm bullying an orphan and a widowed mother?"

Queen Mother Yan sneered and said, "Does King Zhao think it's not? If not, why did the capital of Yan's Kingdom yesterday become the territory of King Zhao today?"

These two men and women with the same mother and blood veins on them were sitting face to face, but the atmosphere of the conversation was extremely stiff and full of estrangement.

Zhao Dan sighed and said very seriously: "Empress Dowager, is it all caused by me? If I remember correctly, it should be that Yan State was the first to be defeated by the alliance last year."

"The State of Yan did not rebel against the alliance." Empress Dowager Yan said coldly.

Zhao Dan was obviously a little angry by the attitude of Queen Mother Yan, and he didn't feel any more gunpowder when he spoke: "Is that right? But Yan State stabbed Qi in the back when he was fighting against Chu, and completely ignored my warning!"

Empress Dowager Yan raised her head without showing any weakness, looked at Zhao Dan with her phoenix eyes, and said word by word: "Yan State, there is no need to obey anyone's warning! Yan State needs to go south, rather than be trapped in this northeastern border area, and will not be able to expand in an inch of land for a hundred years!"

Zhao Dan shook his head and said, "Of course Yan State can go south, and of course I can also allow Yan State to go south, but the premise of Yan State to go south is that it cannot endanger the interests of Zhao State! Since Yan State chose to attack the comrade Qi State on the same front in the previous war, then we must be prepared to be punished by me. Otherwise, how can I convince the people and command the countries in the world?"

"Give orders to all the countries in the world?" Empress Dowager Yan sneered: "King Zhao is so powerful! Why, is King Zhao ready to take over the emperor and replace him?"

A brief silence fell into the hall.

The young King Yan looked at Zhao Dan with some fear, and subconsciously moved closer to his mother's arms.

King Xiaoyan already knew that the man in front of him was his uncle and one of the closest people in the world of his mother, but he couldn't figure out why the quarrel between this man and his mother was so intense.

The King of Xiaoyan had never seen anyone dare to speak in such an attitude in front of his mother, and he had never seen his mother turn red in front of any man.

Looking at the Empress Dowager of Yan who was crying in front of him but still pretending to be strong, Zhao Dan's heart moved slightly, and only felt a faint bitterness appearing from his heart.

When she was young, whenever she was bullied by herself, didn’t she always look at herself with such a stubborn look?

Although time has passed, and although Zhao Dan is now just a time traveler who integrates memory, the heartfelt family affection still suddenly burst out like a mountain torrent, instantly filling every corner of Zhao Dan's body.

After all, this is the biological sister born to Zhao Danyi’s mother!

After a long time, Zhao Dan sighed and said earnestly: "You are indeed becoming more and more like your mother's queen. Haven't you ever thought that your position as the queen and Ke'er's throne were obtained with my support? The reason why I support Ke'er is to get a solid ally Yan State, rather than a disobedient Yan State, who may betray me and Zhao State anytime and anywhere!"

"Empress Yan, you are now the empress dowager of Yan State. Every move must be considered for Yan State. I can understand this. But what I hope you understand is that I am also the king of Zhao State now, and everything must be considered from the standpoint of Zhao State!"

"I know that you are also afraid that I will destroy Yan State, so you brought Ke'er here, right? Don't worry, Yan State will not perish, at least not now. All I want is Du Kang Land and Wuyang City, and I do not want to completely destroy Yan State."

"As long as Yan State does not betray me again in the future, I can guarantee that there will be a long period of peace on the border of Yan and Zhao. Yan State is not strong and not strong at all, so this game of fighting for the Central Plains is actually not suitable for Yan State, not at all."

"Okay, it's getting late. Please take Ke'er back and have a good rest and think about what I said."

Empress Dowager Yan's body trembled slightly and said nothing. She just stood up silently and walked out of the side hall of Wuyangtai step by step with the young King of Yan.

After getting into the carriage, the young Empress Dowager Yan lowered her head, hugged Xiaoyan King with red glasses, and said nothing for a long time.

The young King Yan turned his eyes, suddenly turned around and gently hugged his mother, and said something angrily.

"My mother, is it because my uncle bullies someone? When Ke'er grows up, he will send someone to teach his uncle a lesson so that his uncle will never dare to bully his queen again!"

Queen Yan's body trembled slightly, and finally she could no longer bear it. She hugged the child in her arms tightly, and tears slowly fell from her long eyelashes and started to cry silently.

Zhao Dan stood at the top of the steps of Wu balcony, watching the carriage behind Yan gradually disappear into the darkness, with a complicated expression.

Perhaps from today on, my biological sister will hate me to the core? After all, one is the ruler of Zhao State and the other is the regent of Yan State. The conflicts in their positions are actually impossible to reconcile.

Zhao Dan was silent for a long time, and finally could only sigh softly and shake his head slowly.
