The purple-blue slim-fitting long skirt shows off Mrs. Mingzhu's proud figure. Her curves are graceful and graceful, which is extremely attractive.
Zhao Jia knew very well how good Mrs. Mingzhu's figure was and how delicate her skin was. Perhaps only those who tasted it with their own mouth would understand what a beauty she was. Unfortunately, this beauty was full of dangers, fatal dangers, just like beauty. The black widow will give you a bite full of venom if there is any left.
Zhao Jia knew this very well.
If it weren't for his special status and the fact that he was entering the palace in front of many people, he would not have dared to 'drink tea' with Mrs. Mingzhu.
Mrs. Mingzhu is definitely not the kind of character who doesn't retaliate after suffering a loss, especially since she suffered such a big loss last time. If there is a chance to retaliate, the other party will never let it go.
As for 'taming' Mrs. Pearl... Zhao Jia is not that confident yet.
The other party is not the Queen Mother of Qin Zhao Ji, nor is she a love brain like Concubine Yan. She cannot be persuaded by just a few words.
"I wonder what kind of tea Madam has prepared today? Is it as delicious as last time~"
Zhao Jiaqing openly admired Mrs. Mingzhu's figure, regardless of how she felt, and asked softly.
Mrs. Mingzhu's elegant walking posture paused slightly, and she glanced at Zhao Jia with her narrow black eyes, as if she wanted to scrape off his skin. There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was soft and charming, just like a royal sister whispering. The little hand flicked: "Master, are you afraid?"
"We've come this far. Even if I want to leave, my wife probably won't agree."
Zhao Jia looked at the high walls on both sides and said with certainty.
"Since the young master knows that I have evil intentions, why do you still follow me?"
Madam Mingzhu stared at Zhao Jia with some doubts. After suffering a big loss last time, she would no longer underestimate this seemingly harmless young master of the Zhao Kingdom. The seemingly loyal and upright young master in front of her probably had more heart than anyone else in the world. Most people want to be black and bolder!
He even dared to touch her, and she was still in the Han Palace... She was the lady of Korea!
"After we said goodbye last time, I never forgot my wife."
Zhao Jia said with burning eyes.
"...Young Master really doesn't take King Han seriously."
Mrs. Mingzhu was silent for a while, a coldness flashed in her eyes, she didn't bother to pretend anymore, and said coldly.
Zhao Jia knew that no one was eavesdropping around him, so he naturally spoke a lot more freely, and said quite confidently: "Do I need to take South Korea and Han Wangan seriously?"
His words contained disdain for South Korea and Han Wangan.
There was a pause.
He continued: "South Korea is the weakest country among the seven countries, and Han Wangan is a king who is almost ignored by the night. For such a country and such a king, I really don't feel the need to respect them."
If these words were in a crowded place, he would naturally not say them, but facing Mrs. Mingzhu, Zhao Jia was not afraid because he knew that the other party would not spread these words.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it spreads.
What Zhao Jia said was never a fact.
"In this case, why should the young master come to Korea to ask for Princess Honglian's hand in marriage?"
Mrs. Mingzhu looked at Zhao Jia, who was so boastful, with a flash of doubt in her eyes and asked.
Zhao Jia stared into Mrs. Mingzhu's eyes, looked at each other for a few breaths, and then said slowly: "There are some things that I can't tell you. Let's talk about it when we see Bai Yifei later."
"?!"
Mrs. Mingzhu's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she was really surprised this time. Zhao Jia actually knew that Bai Yifei was on her side.
"how do you know?"
Zhao Jiaqi stepped forward and put his arms around Madam Mingzhu's slender waist. Feeling the stiffness of the woman in his arms, he said with confidence in his voice: "If this were not the case, how would Madam have the guts to see me in private? I'm really not afraid. If I repeat the same mistake again, can I think that my wife really misses me~"
He is much stronger than Madam Pearl.
Madam Mingzhu is best at poison and illusion, but neither of these are obviously effective against Zhao Jia, which is why Zhao Jia can control her.
Well, really good at it.
Without external help, how could Mrs. Mingzhu see him again? Apparently her eldest cousin was back, which gave Mrs. Mingzhu the confidence to have today's private meeting.
"Then the young master still dares to come?"
Mrs. Mingzhu looked at Zhao Jia in a different light this time. She found that Zhao Jia's image seemed to be changing all the time, and she couldn't see through him.
"For you, I have to come."
Zhao Jia did not continue to take advantage of Madam Mingzhu. He slowly let go of her and said lightly: "Madam, please lead the way. After meeting the Marquis in Blood, I will have a good time reminiscing with Madam."
Madam Mingzhu's eyes flickered, she didn't say anything, and she obediently led the way for Zhao Jia.
She also wanted to see what Zhao Jianeng and Bai Yifei had to say.
…
Baixiang Palace.
The place where Mrs. Pearl makes daily incense is dimly lit because the surrounding windows are covered by hanging curtains. After all, most of the materials for making incense are afraid of sunlight. Light and temperature will cause them to deteriorate and lose their effectiveness.
The more poisonous something is, the more it likes dark and moist places to grow.
That's what Yin and Yang are.
Bai Yifei was standing in the shadows at this moment, like a king in the shadows. If Zhao Jia were to describe it, perhaps a bat would be more appropriate.
After all, he is a bat monster who likes to suck blood.
Bai Yifei looked at the two people pushing the door in, especially when he saw Zhao Jia's figure. A scarlet light appeared in his pupils, his thin lips moved, and his voice was calm, and he said calmly: "Master, Jia? Your courage is indeed extraordinary."
Mrs. Mingzhu had a dispute with Zhao Jia. Although Mrs. Mingzhu did not elaborate on it, Bai Yifei noticed it.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Jia actually dared to come here with Mrs. Mingzhu.
This is no longer a question of courage, but a bit stupid... But Zhao Jia is obviously not a stupid person.
"It's our first meeting. It seems that I made a very good impression on Hou Xueyi."
Zhao Jia smiled and responded softly. At the same time, he looked at the Korean marquis in front of him. Although he liked to suck blood, it was undeniable that his strength and temperament were indeed very good, whether in Qin Shi or Tian Xing Jiu. I can do it all in songs.
Unfortunately, the other party also has a big shortcoming.
That is the self-confidence and arrogance of being a noble. This blind self-confidence may also be the reason why the other party did not reach the Qin Dynasty.
There is no shortage of strong people in the world, especially in such troubled times. Being overconfident will lead to a tragic death.
Bai Yifei was too confident in himself, which led to Tianze's rampage and the failure of his plan.
Of course, confidence isn’t a bad thing either.
Zhao Jia is also very confident, but his confidence comes from the forces and people behind him.
After all.
Game of Thrones is a game of politics and war.
Politics determines how many allies you have and how many people will stand by your side, while war determines the outcome.
This time, he came to make friends.
Bai Yifei seemed to be in a good mood. Looking at Zhao Jia's expression of no stage fright, he nodded slightly and said softly: "You are very good. No wonder you can get along like a fish in water in the Qin State. But what makes me curious is why you are like this in the Zhao State." It’s unremarkable.”
More than just mediocre, it's just useless.
Apart from having a good reputation, he had almost no use, and was even forced to take Qin as hostage in the end. But after taking Qin as hostage, Zhao Jia seemed to be a different person.
An almost legendary experience.
This is what Bai Yifei is curious about Zhao Jia. As for the small friction between Madam Mingzhu and Zhao Jia... he doesn't think it's anything, after all, Madam Mingzhu can't go into details.
Mrs. Mingzhu can't say that she was bitten by a dog.
All chewed up...
"Because my father likes my younger brother more."
Zhao Jia said calmly, without any change in his expression, because Zhao Wangyan was dying, Zhao Qian and Guo Kai were not far away, and he would eventually get back what belonged to him.
"Zhao Wang Yan?"
Bai Yifei's thoughts about Zhao Wangyan came to mind. After a moment, he nodded with approval: "Zangzhuo is indeed a clear choice."
There was a pause.
He looked at Zhao Jia and continued: "But what you did in Qin was not a wise choice."
"The outcome has not yet been determined. Who knows who will win the final victory."
Zhao Jia said indifferently.
No matter who wins the battle between Qin and Guo, he will not lose. After all, he has won from the very beginning. Would a barefoot person still be afraid of losing?
Bai Yifei was noncommittal and said calmly: "I need war horses, the more the better."
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, unless South Korea is willing to defend the city all the time.
"The Marquis can't eat it, and it's impossible for the Zhao State to give more war horses. Moreover, this matter requires my father's nod. It's useless for you to talk to me."
Zhao Jia shook his head and refused without thinking.
He looked at Bai Yifei.
"If the Marquis needs a war horse, why not go to Ji Wuye."
"He won't give it."
Bai Yifei said directly that he knew Ji Wuye's character very well, that is, he was a guy who could only get out but not get in. If the war horse given by Zhao Jia got into his mouth, he would not even think about it if he tried to spit it out. I think, unless like Han Fei, some special means are used.
But if this is the case, Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye will fall out.
'Then you won't rob it? '
Zhao Jia murmured in his heart, but his face didn't show anything. He understood what Bai Yifei meant. Just as he guessed, the relationship between Bai Yifei and Ji Wuye might be more complicated than he thought, but he still said tentatively: "With the power of the Marquis, are you still worried about Ji Wuye?"
"South Korea can't stand the trouble. I'm not Han Fei and others."
Bai Yifei said indifferently.
Today's South Korea cannot withstand the torment.
Han Fei and others think they can change South Korea, but in fact they can't change anything.
Over the years, they are not the only ones who have tried to change South Korea, but South Korea has never changed anything.
Compared with Han Fei and others' troubles and unknown outcome, it is better for South Korea to maintain the status quo. After all, their rules have at least made South Korea stable until now.
As for exploiting civilians... Bai Yifei had never seen them in his eyes.
The nobles who stand high above will not look down at the ants at their feet.
Zhao Jia didn't know how to evaluate Bai Yifei. Maybe people like Bai Yifei were the status quo of the powerful in this era. Who among the real powerful would care about the people at the bottom? Let alone this era, no one would care even a thousand years later.
Mrs. Mingzhu, who was wearing a long skirt with a waist, looked at the two people communicating with each other, her beautiful eyes twinkling. She did not bring Zhao Jia here just for the two of them to chat.
She suddenly spoke up and said, "Do we insist?"
When Bai Yifei heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, but he did not stop him. Using force appropriately might have miraculous effects.
"I can't make the decision either."
Zhao Jia shook his head and sighed, thought for a while, and continued: "These ten thousand war horses are not all transactions, they are also my betrothal gift to Princess Honglian. My father will not unlimitedly fund South Korea. Ten thousand war horses is already quite a lot.”
"Wang Zhao is willing to give you a betrothal gift?"
Bai Yifei frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Jiake said earlier that their father and son were at odds.
Zhao Jia nodded and explained: "The State of Qin is willing to be a matchmaker for me. No matter how much my father dislikes me, he still needs to show off."
"Cousin, his value doesn't seem to be as great as you think~"
Mrs. Mingzhu glanced at Bai Yifei and said meaningfully. As one of the four evil generals of Ye Mu, she knew about the cooperation between Ye Mu and Lu Buwei. If Zhao Jia's value was too low, it seemed like a good idea to trade with Lu Buwei. chips.
As for Mrs. Mingzhu, she now wants to see Zhao Jia's desperate expression.
Zhao Jia looked at Madam Mingzhu, shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Madam, that's not how you see value. I can hold back Qin Guodong's steps."
"By you?"
Before Mrs. Mingzhu could speak, Bai Yifei directly asked. He didn't think Zhao Jia had this ability. Even if Zhao Jia had now become the Changxin Marquis of the Qin State, in the final analysis, Zhao Jia, the Changxin Marquis, was just a power game of the Qin State. victim.
Once the outcome of this game is determined, it will be time for Zhao Jia to end.
Unless the king of Qin can tolerate Zhao Jia.
But is this possible?
Zhao Jia is the eldest son of the Zhao Kingdom!
"At least I'm from Zhao. I'm worth more alive than I am dead. The Marquis will not deny this."
Zhao Jia smiled lightly, quite calmly, and even did not forget to give Mrs. Mingzhu a provocative look.
Mrs. Mingzhu pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes were a little fierce, and her chest was a little higher with anger. Apparently she also realized that she had nothing to do with Zhao Jia now, and the guy in front of her seemed determined that she couldn't touch him.
Bai Yifei fell silent. He could not refute Zhao Jia's words.
Even if they can get a lot of benefits from Lu Buwei, nothing can compare to what Zhao Jia gave. At least he is alive, and Ying Zheng, the new king, will continue to fight for power with Lu Buwei.
One thing they have in common is that they don't want Qin Guodong to go out so fast.
Especially Korea.
Bai Yifei would not want South Korea to perish.
Bai Yifei said coldly: "But your words are not convincing."
Zhao Jia's few words had little credibility. Even if what he said was true, it was not enough to make Bai Yifei change his attitude.
"You don't know my status in Qin State. I am not just a puppet, a victim."
Zhao Jia said softly.
