an hour ago
Guo Kai was scurrying around Lingjiu Mountain like a headless fly. Following the officer's exclamation, there was a cave in the distance. They hid in a hidden place and saw many items placed around the entrance of the cave.
Guo Kai has never read the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and he would not imagine it in the direction of the treasure cave.
There are many lacquer boxes piled up at the entrance of the cave, with black bird patterns engraved on them. They belong to the royal family of the King of Qin.
He thought about what the official said and frowned.
How could it be such a coincidence?
A few days ago, someone told him that the princess of Qin fell off a cliff here, and he met him in the blink of an eye? In this ice and snow, if the princess really fell off the cliff, she would have starved to death and frozen to death. How could she place neat things here? This was obviously to lure him into the game.
As soon as Guo Kai rolled his eyes, he understood that the news of his coming to Qin might have been leaked, and something was wrong with Qin Shou's eyes when he passed the border. He had already kept an eye on it.
Why, did this Qin man really think that Guo Kai was a fool? This is a simple matter of asking you to put yourself in an urn, how could he not see it.
"Master, do you think you should take someone to search inside?"
Guo Kai touched his nose and said, "Very good. Mu Ge, if there is any news, report it in sign language immediately."
Concealing his identity was not what he had in mind. It would be uneconomical to die in Qin! He thought that exposing his identity would be a good thing.
Moreover, it is best not for him to reveal his identity. This is a "forced and helpless" move.
Guo Kai quickly asked a follower with high martial arts skills to return the same way and took out a bamboo bookcase that he had prepared early.
There was already a sigh on his face: "You go back and report to King Zhao Ming, 'I am willing to fulfill Lord Wu'an's wish and die without giving up, so my king does not have to worry.'"
Zhao Qian was the king who was supported by him. Without him, Guo Kai, who expelled Gongzi Jia from Zhao, there would be no current King Qian of Zhao. Zhao Qian will never give up easily on Guo Kai, who once supported him. Zhao Qian is one with him, and he will definitely send Zhao's masters to help.
And when he goes back, that old guy Li Mu will pay the price for his choice sooner or later.
"Prime Minister Guo." The attendant didn't know the meaning of these words, so he called him one more time for no apparent reason.
"Go quickly, I, Guo Kai, died for Zhao because of my desire to have the full power of Wu Anjun."
Guo Kai spoke so movingly that even Zhang Han, who had already seen all this, was a little surprised.
"This person seems to be quite loyal." The young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the guard couldn't help but asked, "Will Mr. Zhang Liang's method work?"
"There is no room for error in what Lord Meng Yi said. Everything was planned by Zhang Liang. Lu Ze, you just need to protect the princess carefully. This is different from the one on the cliff. If Guo Kai has any objections, he will be detained immediately."
Lu Ze quite distrusted Zhang Liang regarding Princess Hehua's carriage wheels. But now is not a good opportunity to deal with this matter. Now Guo Kai has become the core point of Guxiakou. He is also a person who understands the importance of things. Seeing that Ying Hehua also respected and trusted her teacher very much, and others spoke softly and inappropriately, he decided not to speak for the time being.
"promise."
Among the trees, the entourage who accepted the letter was moved by what Zhao Xiang said. If they had not followed him all the time, they would have really thought that his relationship with Wu'an Lord Li Mu was so good.
After Guo Kai called his followers away, he stared straight ahead and continued to hide with his men.
Ruorumuge's signal was that the Princess of Qin was not inside. No matter what is going on inside, just make silent gestures and shoot all the people in the cave to death with bows and arrows.
I've been here for a while, but I haven't heard any sound yet.
"Master? What does this mean?"
"Do you think the traitor should die?" Guo Kai stared at the entrance of the cave pitifully.
Mu Ge has either been with Guo Kai since he was a child and stayed with him for a long time, just waiting for this moment.
Mu Ge led three people and cautiously moved forward. A strange fragrance penetrated the tip of his nose. He saw the person he was looking for in Qin State, and a young man wearing a green robe.
"How did I know you...?" Mu Ge was thinking.
"You just have to keep playing your role."
Then, Guo Kai outside the cave saw a sign language that made him slightly confused.
【There is fraud in this, so leave quickly】
Fraud?
Guo Kai was a little confused, and then there was a commotion behind him.
The snow fell from the treetops with a patter, and the snow ground made a crunching sound as it was trampled on. Sure enough, there was an ambush!
"Master!" Mu Ge was already tied up by Wu Hua Da, and he did not forget to use Zhao Guo's unique signal to remind him to run quickly.
Guo Kai Fu Ying, fortunately he has realized early that this Qin people are not easy to get along with, and they have to be careful even if they find a way out.
He hurriedly slipped back, warning the guards behind him not to make a sound and to move carefully and quietly from the darkness.
But the next second, the sound of weapons surrounded him.
Qin Ge pointed his sword at his head.
------------------
When Xu Zhi saw Guo Kai dressed up like this, he couldn't help but find it a bit funny. Xu Zhi knew that Guo Kai was a jester and a man who was quick to see money, but she underestimated his ability as a jester, and cunning was how he gained power in the Zhao court.
Guo Kai dressed up as a hunter, with a brown felt handkerchief on his head and an egret feather on the felt hat. He wore a pair of thick-soled leather boots and his legs were tied firmly.
In such a big scene surrounded by people, Mu Ge hurried over and whispered: Master, this is Princess Ying Hehua.
Guo Kai was speechless for a moment, then pushed him with his backhand, "I know!"
Being pushed so hard, the officer suddenly hit a stone next to him.
I saw that Mu Ge had a big bump on his head but he still had to crawl over to protect Guo Kai, "Princess, this villain is too blind to see Mount Tai, don't hurt my master!"
Guo Kai saw that Mu Ge was stupid and loyal enough, so he was quite satisfied with him.
When Guo Kai faced this scene of swords clashing, he clearly had the upper hand. When he saw that the Qin army was dressed in upper-level uniforms, the closer he got, the less afraid he became and he laughed.
After a while, an official from Xianyang stood in front of him.
He was wearing a black narrow-sleeved robe, but he had a Xianyang talisman hanging on his waist.
Based on what the subordinate officials said before, Guo Kai quickly guessed his identity.
"I am the envoy of the State of Zhao, and I represent the King of Zhao. I advise you not to use swords against each other."
The figure behind the curtain in the distance slowly stood up, and you could vaguely feel the complexity of her dress. These objects were built in a place like this. It doesn't look like a cave, but more like a temporary residence. Guo Kai could figure out with his feet who the people protected by so many Qin troops would be.
This operation is not like falling off a cliff, but it is done deliberately.
The princess did not speak, and the official from Xianyang continued to speak. "This is the hinterland of our Qin State. Don't you think it's strange for Ambassador Zhao to appear here?"
"That's wrong." Guo Kai raised his hand and patted his thigh as if he was bitter and resentful, "This is on the way to Xianyang. When I was young, I had an encounter with Zhang Yi of your country. I paid a private visit to Zhilao Shanlin. That’s why I accidentally entered Lingjiu Mountain. I didn’t know that the princess was playing here, and she had no other intention!”
"We are going to Xianyang now. If I can get Master Xiao Li to help me get to Xianyang smoothly, I will respect Zhao Ce and everything will be smooth sailing."
He revealed Li Xian's identity in one sentence, and vaguely explained that he knew that Qin Guo was trying to win over him. Moreover, Li Si's senior brother Han Fei was killed in the Qin Prison. He had to find an opportunity to show his loyalty to the King of Qin.
Not long ago, Yao Jia sent someone to tell Guo Kai about the benefits of ten thousand gold.
Guo Kai has never been short of money, and he is also a person who does not mind having little money. Can a mere ten thousand gold satisfy a Prime Minister of the State of Zhao? Apart from these, he is more concerned about his reputation as prime minister. Helping the Qin State to annex the Zhao State, he would not gain power himself. He was not stupid, so why would he want to do such an uneconomical deal?
After Guo Kai finished speaking, he saw the princess behind the curtain pick up a plate, gently pick up a piece of candied fruit such as preserved fruit, put it into her mouth, and chewed it twice.
After she finished chewing, she thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't quite understand."
Guo Kai was suddenly worried and happy.
Ying Hehua was not familiar with Qin's political affairs, nor did he understand the state's diplomatic relations and attacks. But I'm afraid Li Xian, like his annoying father Li Si, is not easy to talk to.
He heard Ying Hehua laughing again: "Let me tell you, I am tired of playing in the mountains these days. There are no wild animals to hunt in this snowy day. I think you are not an envoy dressed like this, but a hunter." .”
"What do hunters do? Hunting. If you can catch a bear, I will spare your life."
There is an innocent cruelty in her coquettishness.
Guo Kai didn't move. He has always been a typical Chao Qin Muchu. He originally wanted to pretend to be good and find some hindrances, but he didn't expect that Ying Hehua would be so unreasonable!
Seeing that he was still thinking, Zhang Han said angrily: "How dare you offend the princess? Just tie him up and throw him into the snow."
After saying this, two people came towards him.
Ying Hehua is ignorant, but Li Xian is a sensible person.
The official who had a big bump on his head immediately stood in front of Guo Kai and said loudly: "Who dares! The master is Prime Minister Zhao, don't play tricks on us like this!"
The warrior was about to step forward, but Ying Hehua called him back. Ying Hehua walked out from the curtain. She was young, wearing a gorgeous robe with a green jade waistband, and a fine gray-black fox fur draped over her shoulders.
Ying Hehua and Guo Kai looked very different from what they imagined.
Guo Kai was accustomed to liking beauties from Zheng and Chu with beautiful mouths and beautiful noses, as well as men with handsome faces. He also kept many female slaves and singers from these places in his house, as well as Hancang, which he liked very much.
But he did not dare to have any muddy reverie about the soft-looking Princess of Qin in front of him.
He watched her smiling and walking back and forth in front of him holding a hand warmer, and the diamond pattern on her body dazzled him.
Ying Hehua glanced at him, his deep black eyes filled with the Qin style of wanton behavior.
"It doesn't matter whether you are the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao or not. I heard from Brother Wang that the war on the front line is urgent, and I know that there is Li Mu in the State of Zhao. As for whether Prime Minister Zhao is alive or dead, it doesn't matter to the State of Zhao. Anyway, you just said Yes, you are from Zhao, and Zhao is our enemy of Qin."
Ying Hehua turned around and asked: "General Zhang, if the envoy accidentally broke into the mountains and his head was missing, would there be any problem?"
"I will all listen to the princess's arrangements."
"Princess..." Li Xian finally spoke.
Guo Kai also said that there is someone who understands.
"Shut up." Ying Hehua interrupted him suddenly, his smile disappeared, and his eyes turned sharp.
She took two steps to Li Xian's side, and with some personal emotion, said in a threatening tone: "If you dare to move the teacher out to lecture, I will let you go hunting with him."
Guo Kai now understood why Ying Hehua survived in Korea. How could a monarch with a weak character like Han An resist such a eloquent and overbearing and cruel daughter of the King of Qin.
Guo Kai was not someone who was easily frightened. He heard that Ying Hehua would kill her regardless of whether she was the Prime Minister of Zhao State, so he knew that she was a person who did not understand the relations between countries.
Guo Kaitai understands how these nobles who have nothing to do all day long want to spend their time, which is the most satisfying way.
But just as he took a step closer, Qin Ge at his neck got even closer.
Guo Kai glanced at Zhang Han and felt that this man was really in the way.
He made a move to push away the sharp sword head, "What are you doing? Little princess, don't you just want to come out and play more on weekdays. Princess doesn't know, right? Our country of Zhao is good at riding and shooting. If I can give it to the next horse Ma, it’s not difficult to hunt a bear. Don’t be angry because the princess is so precious.”
Xu Zhi didn't expect him to answer the call like this, but fortunately he had a thorough plan.
She clapped her hands excitedly, "Very good." But she shook her head immediately, "No, I'll give you the horse. Who should I look for if you run away? Why don't you let Brother Li Xian go with you?"
At this time, there was a sudden cough in the air, and Ying Hehua frowned impatiently, "Wait a minute."
She stormed through the curtain angrily.
As the afternoon sunlight turned at an angle, Guo Kai was able to see the hazy figure inside the curtain. It turned out that this curtain was not used by Ying Hehua. Behind the curtain was a man lying on his back.
After she came out, she changed her story.
"If I exchange your head with Zhao's ministers who don't like you, maybe I can get some more benefits. I can also get some treasures, embroidery, and rare treasures from my father." beast."
Guo Kai was a little panicked now. From Ying Hehua's words that were not strictly logical, it could be seen that the people here were very familiar with Zhao's government.
This one word could kill him.
If he does what he does, a large number of people in Qin and Zhao will be able to achieve considerable benefits.
teacher.
This is how she threatened Li Xian just now.
She knew about Li Mu, probably because of what the people here said.
Ying Hehua’s teacher…
He met a master of power manipulation.
Guo Kai's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was agitated.
"Princess, even if this is something to talk about later, I will let the princess see something interesting right now. I wonder if the princess can give me a favor?"
Ying Hehua thought for a while, looked back at the curtain, and said with a smile, "I'll only give you time for one cauldron of incense burner."
——
In the snow, Guo Kai felt that he had never been so aggrieved in his life.
And Li Xian was also called over to monitor whether he would run away. Before he took two steps, he bowed deeply to him.
"Master Xiao Li, what are you doing?"
"There are things you cannot change if you are a virtuous person. I am afraid that you will be worried. Please give me some advice from Prime Minister Zhao."
"Who doesn't know that your father is a genius, so don't act like this in front of your true self."
"My father is a father, but I am stupid in nature. This matter is risky. I hope that when Zhao Xiang meets my king, he will keep it a secret for me in front of the king."
"Tell me, why do you want to kill Zhang Liang?"
Li Xian lowered his eyes darkly, with some personal emotions, so this sentence was particularly true.
"He got in my way."
"Haha," Guo Kai patted Li Xian on the shoulder, touched his short beard and hair, and called himself an old man, "I understand, then each of you can take what you need."
Guo Kai gave him a confused look and said, "If Mr. Li needs anything in the future, I am willing to provide it."
Li Xian felt deeply uncomfortable for an instant, and this look made him sick.
He had never come into contact with Guo Kai in his previous life, and he only knew that his father used his power and position to deal with the weak.
From this point of view, Guo Kai is much more evil than he imagined, far more than just a jester.
