When Zhao Xin returned to the West Palace, it was already dark. Just as Zhao She came to take over, he met Zhao Xin when he saw that he came and bowed and bowed to him. "The Chief."

Zhao Xin was originally in a little depressed mood, but when he saw Zhao She, he felt much better. He smiled and joked, "It was not the one who came to hand over the ugly time. Now the midnight time has just passed, why don't you sleep for a while? Could it be that my sister-in-law had a quarrel with you and kicked you out of bed."[]

Zhao She laughed, "The Duwei is joking, how could Ying'er be so arrogant? I thought that Duwei, you are no more busy than me, and you must be bored alone in the palace, so I came in advance so that you can be lazy and go back early."

Zhao Xin laughed, reached out and patted Zhao She on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Not bad, it seems that your subordinate knows how to be polite to Shangguan. Unlike Li Weiner, you will never show up until you are a little bit. Sometimes you will be procrastinated for a long time."

Zhao Shepiao’s astronomy website came to the Duwei to invite me to drink, otherwise wouldn’t it be unfair to control my subordinates?”

Zhao Xin smiled and punched him, "Your wine is indispensable."

Since Zhao She was willing, Zhao Xin naturally would not be polite. The two exchanged talismans and handed over defense, and Zhao Xin got on the horse and left outside the west gate.

It was already midnight, and even late at night, there were no one else on the street except for drunken drunken drunken drinkers flashing across the street. Zhao Xin drove all the way, and occasionally encountered several teams of patrolmen on the road. He saw him wearing the armor of a general and dared not stop him, but just avoided him far away. Not long after he left, Zhao Xin had already arrived at the west gate of the inner city and was stopped by the guards.

Handan was built during the reign of Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Jian, when Zhao Yang, who was the chief minister of Jin, defeated Wei and obtained Handan. He saw this place locked Hebei and controlled the Central Plains remotely. He knew that the geographical location was important. He spent several years building a solid city here as the base for Zhao to peek at the Central Plains. Therefore, the mountain was named Handan Mountain, and the city was just at the end of Handan Mountain. It meant the end alone, so the new city was named Handan City.

After the relocation of Jinghou to Handan, Handan has been expanded several times and has become a huge city, one of the world's famous cities. The city is divided into three parts, and the center is naturally the royal palace, guarded by the Imperial Guards and Yulin, and the outer periphery is divided into outer and inner cities.

The outer city is the most outer line of defense in Handan and the most solid line of defense. The tall city walls and the moat surrounded by all sides have firmly protected the entire city of Handan. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city and sufficient food and grass in the city, it would be almost impossible for Handan to fall into the enemy. It is precisely because of this that the king of Zhao boldly set the capital of the country in Handan City, which is extremely close to the strong country of Qi and Wei.

The inner city wall becomes a substitute for the outer city wall. In the event of the outer city falling, the defenders can quickly retreat to the inner city to close the city gates, using this as a stronghold to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements.

Therefore, in the more than 300 years since Handan built its own city, except for being captured by the powerful Wei army during the reign of King Hui of Wei, it has never been captured by the enemy country at other times. In this way, the inner city wall has become a decoration, just used to divide the city. It is the inner city as respected. Most of the people living are the common people and merchants, and most of the people living are ordinary people and merchants. Although Zhao He is an inner history, his place of residence is still the residence of the former Tianma official, so he also lives in the outer city. Zhao Xin has to pass through the inner city gate when he returns home from the palace every day.

Seeing the guards approaching to stop him, Zhao Xin pulled out the reins and walked over slowly, whipping and laughing, "What, are you new here and don't know me anymore?"

Zhao Xin often passed by here at night and went home, and over time he became familiar with him, so he had this question.

The little officer who was blocking the road showed a flattering smile on his face and said, "What are the words of Duwei Zhao? How could the young men not recognize you? It's just a routine matter, I hope you forgive me."

Zhao Xin smiled and didn't take it seriously. According to Zhao Lu, those who passed through the inner city gate after the second half of the year must hold a pass, otherwise they will be arrested for spy. Zhao Xin often passed here and naturally knew that, so he did not become this little pawn, so he reached into his arms and wanted to take out the pass. As soon as his hand was put in, his face changed.

The little officer looked at Zhao Xin on the horse for a long time, but saw that his hand was put in his arms for a while and there was no movement, and he said, "Prince, your old pass..."

Zhao Xin slowly withdrew his hand, but said with a hugly look, "Sorry, I washed up this afternoon and changed my clothes, so I didn't put the pass on. I think you know me anyway, so it's better..."

Zhao Xin looked at the officer and his meaning was clear. In fact, on weekdays, there were often children of nobles returning in the middle of the night. These small soldiers dared not stop them. They all recognized their familiar faces and let them go all the way. Zhao Xin walked a few times, but they didn't ask him to pass the pass. Today, it seemed a little abnormal.

But the officer showed a disgrace on his face, and had no intention of giving way, but he stammered. "Prince Zhao, if I usually use the young ones to take advantage of the young ones, I would not dare to make things difficult for you. But today is different. Our new lieutenant repeatedly said that no one can enter and exit the city gate without a pass. Just because a brother secretly released Doctor Cao's son into the city yesterday, he was beaten up by the lieutenant and was also relieved of his military position. The young ones are really timid, and I hope the lieutenant can be considerate and considerate."

After saying that, he was afraid that Zhao Xin would believe it or not, so he hurriedly pointed at a distance and said, "Prince, please see, this is the five-color stick used to punish us. If we dare to dereliction of duty, no matter who we are placed, we will hit twenty military sticks hard."

Zhao Xin looked at the fire and saw five huge wooden sticks hanging at the city gate, painted in five colors: red, yellow, green, white and black, as if their legs were thick. It seemed that they were the five-color sticks in the mouth of the officer.

Such a thick five-color stick hits twenty sticks on your body, and even if you don’t die, you will have to take half of your life. Although the Zhao army is strict in the military rules, such a harsh lord is still rare.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but become interested in this lieutenant who had never met before. He thought that this man was brave, but a mere lieutenant dared to do these things that would obviously offend the powerful.

Then he looked at the officer and smiled, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. Where is your lieutenant? I will talk to him when I go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snorkeling from the city tower, "I am ordered by the king to guard the west gate of the inner city. No matter what position you are, you will never be favored."

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this, feeling that his voice sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. So he looked along the words and saw a general wearing armor walking down the city ladder. When he got closer, he saw the man's appearance clearly. He was stunned.

The captain saw Zhao Xin's appearance clearly at this time, and was stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly and bowed; "It turned out to be the Captain Zhao, who was really rude, and Le Yi apologized here."

It turned out that this person was Le Yi, the commander who performed extraordinaryly in the Qin delegation camp that day. Afterwards, Zhao Xin once asked his master's father for his contributions and was promoted to the lieutenant of the city guards, but he did not expect to meet him here.

Zhao Xin was not angry either, but just turned over and got off the horse and responded with a smile, saying, "This Handan is so small, I didn't expect to meet Brother Le here, which is really rare."

Le Yi smiled a little embarrassedly and said repeatedly, "That's right."

After saying that, he thought of something, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I haven't had the chance to thank the Chief of the lieutenant for his promotion."

Zhao Xin smiled and waved his hand, "You got it because of this. I just reported to the Lord's Father truthfully. As for your reward and promotion, what does it have to do with me? Brother Le should not keep these words, as this will make you look petty."
