Li Si...
Han Fei did not stay in the mansion for a long time. As a military commander in South Korea, he needed to take responsibility for such a murder. At the same time, he had to find a way to calm the turmoil caused by the incident. He originally thought that Zhao Jia could give him some help, but he never thought of him. I would suggest him to find Li Si.
Thinking of this fellow junior, Han Fei suddenly thought of the scene when the two parties parted ways.
Li Si chose Qin, the strongest among the seven kingdoms, and he returned to South Korea because of his identity.
"Ninth Young Master, who is this Li Si?"
Zhang Liang didn't speak the whole time. It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the mansion that he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, because he noticed the change in Han Fei's expression, especially when he heard the word "Li Si".
Han Fei showed a hint of reminiscence on his face and said slowly: "He is my fellow junior fellow student. He studied with me at the same school. When we parted last year, he went to Qin State. According to Zhao Jia's wishes, he Now he has been reused by Lu Buwei."
Zhang Liang asked: "What is his relationship with the young master?"
"It's okay..."
Han Fei said with some uncertainty.
There was a pause.
He shook his head and sighed: "My junior brother is very utilitarian. If this matter happens smoothly, he will probably help. If it will bring him trouble, then it may not be possible."
Han Fei had no confidence in whether Li Si would help, because in the end the matter had nothing to do with Li Si. Although the other party was favored by Lu Buwei, it did not mean that he could influence Lu Buwei's decision. Unfortunately, Zhao Jia refused to help.
Zhang Liang nodded and said nothing more. For now, they could only wait and see what happens.
. . . . . . .
The envoy of the State of Qin was assassinated, which naturally caused great commotion. Almost a few days after the news came back to the State of Qin, the army of the State of Qin pressed on the border.
A patch of black crows, like black clouds.
I want to ask South Korea for an explanation.
at the same time.
The envoy from the State of Zhao also arrived in South Korea, and the Jade Tiger came with him. This person went to Handan, the State of Zhao, and obviously gained a lot. His face looked rosy, and there was no trace of travel. Feeling tired from work, his small eyes were sparkling, and he was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man. Ji Wuye joked from time to time, and the atmosphere was excellent.
When Zhao Jia arrived at the General's Mansion, what caught his eye was this scene, and he also recognized the envoy sent by the State of Zhao.
Zhao Cong.
The moment Zhao Jia saw the other party, he bowed respectfully and shouted softly: "Jia has met uncle."
Zhao Cong and Zhao Wangyan are from the same generation, and they are cousins. However, this person has been relatively close to Guo Kai in recent years. This time he entered Korea, and he obviously benefited from Guo Kai. Thinking of this, his eyes He glanced at the Emerald Tiger and thought about it secretly.
The moment Zhao Cong saw Zhao Jia, his eyes lit up, he immediately stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "What a good boy, I haven't seen you for a while, you are very capable!"
This was a bit of a joke, but also a bit sincere.
Zhao Jia has really done a lot in the past six months. Even he who is far away in Zhao country has heard about it. Now he has entered Korea for Zhao Jia's marriage and is responsible for the marriage between Zhao Jia and Princess Honglian. By the way, he also wants to talk about it. Talk about the alliance between South Korea and Zhao.
Of course, these are all things on the surface, and the real purpose is the transaction with Ji Wuye and others.
The business of ten thousand war horses... this cannot be given away for free.
Guo Kai asked him to come here for this reason.
The water here is too deep, and Zhao Jia is afraid that he won't be able to control it.
Zhao Jia smiled implicitly, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, I was joking."
Ji Wuye leaned over at this moment, and laughed when he heard this: "Young master is really humble, but you must show your ability. Our princess will not choose a mediocre person!"
"What the general said is absolutely true. This kid is good at everything, but he is too thin-skinned."
Zhao Cong shook his head, as if he had thought of something, and said with some regret, if we just talk about the succession of the throne, Zhao Jia is superior in both status and ability, and is far more suitable than Young Master Qian. Unfortunately, the battle for the throne is never about looking at it. Your identity and abilities, unless you have the ability to usurp the throne!
Otherwise, it will ultimately depend on Zhao Wangyan’s thoughts.
Just like when Zhao Wangyan fought for the throne, he was not the prince of Zhao at that time, let alone the most valued child of King Zhao.
It's a pity that Lord Chunping was still in Qin as a hostage at that time...
History is so similar.
I just don’t know if his fate will be the same as Chunpei-kun’s.
Thin-skinned?
The smile on Ji Wuye's face froze, and he glanced at Zhao Cong. He felt that the other party had some misunderstanding about Zhao Jia. During this time together, Zhao Jia had never shown any sign of being thin-skinned, but Zhao Cong's expression But it didn't look like he was cheating, which had to make Ji Wuye look at Zhao Jia a few more times.
Could it be that being sent to Qin as a hostage caused Zhao Jia's temperament to change drastically?
But if that was the case, why did Zhao Jia plan for the Zhao State, promote the alliance between South Korea and Zhao, and even secretly made a deal for him.
"Stop talking about this, let's have a drink and help your Majesty wash away the dust today. Young Master also invites you!"
Ji Wuye did not dwell on this issue. He waved his hand and invited the two of them to take a seat. His attention was now focused on the transaction of 10,000 war horses. For this reason, he did not even care about the Qin army approaching the border, because Judging from the strength of the Qin army, the other party only wanted to give a deterrent, and did not really want to start a war.
If the two countries are really fighting, the amount of food and grass that needs to be mobilized is an astronomical figure. At the moment, the Qin State has not made such a move. It is obvious that these tens of thousands of people are just to scare South Korea and put some pressure.
Since Han Wangan left this matter to Han Fei, he naturally didn't want to get involved.
As for Tianze.
Bai Yifei will keep an eye on him.
…
Ji Wuye's banquet was very luxurious, and Jade Tiger entertained her very warmly. It wasn't until Zhao Cong showed drunkenness that he was arranged to go down to rest.
Zhao Jia originally wanted to chat with Zhao Cong, but seeing this scene, he could only say goodbye, because Zhao Cong didn't seem to want to leave the general's mansion. It was obvious that the two parties had some kind of deal. As for Zhao Cong, who was sent to the Qin State for The nephew of a hostage probably doesn't have much status in his mind.
After all, to a certain extent, Zhao Cong was on Guo Kai's side, and he was on Zhao Qian's side, not his deposed prince.
As Zhao Jia left.
The drunkenness on Ji Wuye's face quickly subsided, and he looked at the Emerald Tiger with clear eyes, pursed his dry lips, and asked expectantly: "How is it?"
"According to the information given by Gongzi Jia, the journey has been smooth. Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State, is very greedy for money."
The Emerald Tiger touched the beard on his chin, his little eyes flashed, and he spoke slowly.
"That's good."
Ji Wuye felt a little calmer, and then asked: "When can the Zhao Kingdom send 10,000 war horses over?
The Emerald Tiger said calmly: "At the end of the year at the latest... However, South Korea also needs to give Zhao some food in exchange. Zhao is short of food in the north. This is Li Mu's request."
The transaction went smoothly, especially after he bought Guo Kai, and encountered almost no obstacles.
As for food... Although there is not much food in South Korea, if you squeeze it, you can still supply a batch of food to the northern border of Zhao. Compared with war horses, food is really nothing. After all, no matter how short of food it is, they will not be hungry. These powerful people.
"Li Mu? Then according to his request, you can take care of this batch of grain."
Ji Wuye said calmly.
Jade Tiger controls the trade of Nanjun, the richest land in South Korea. It can be said that the pricing of food in Nanjun depends entirely on Jade Tiger's attitude. He can get as much as he says, and he can even pay for it. After all, the civilians below are easy to fool. Anyway, they I'm used to being hungry, so I tighten my belt and it will pass after a while.
"Understood, please don't worry, General."
The Emerald Tiger puffed out his belly and promised.
Then his eyes flickered and he continued: "General, do you want to cooperate in depth with Guo Kai? According to the observation of my subordinates, this person is extremely greedy for money. If you can cooperate with him, it will be of great benefit to Ye Mu without any harm."
"Guo Kai...you should cooperate with him."
Ji Wuye sneered, directly exposing the Emerald Tiger's little thinking. How could he not know the Emerald Tiger's desire to fly, and really think that he could fly solo by fawning over Guo Kai?
The Emerald Tiger's idea is a bit too naive. These days, the most important thing is strength!
Only with strength can you have the right to speak.
"My subordinates don't dare to do that. They are all thinking about the general."
The Jade Tiger's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head and explained.
Ji Wuye waved his hand, sneered, and said with some disdain: "I know about Guo Kai. Although he is greedy for money, he still has some sense of proportion in his actions. He doesn't accept everyone's money. If he hadn't got Zhao Wangyan's help this time, How can he accept your money if you ask for it?"
He looked down on Guo Kai a little, because Guo Kai was just a clown under Zhao Wangyan. He seemed to have all the power, but in fact he was suppressed by Zhao Wangyan.
Unless King Zhao dies and the young master moves to the throne.
That Guo Kai is the real power in the government, not the puppet that Zhao Wangyan puts on the surface.
In this regard, Zhao Wangyan is much better than Han Wangan.
"this……"
The Emerald Tiger was stunned, and immediately noticed the coldness in Ji Wuye's eyes, and swallowed his saliva immediately.
Ji Wuye knocked: "Tiger, don't think too much. The Korean plate is enough for you. If you want to eat more, you must have the appetite. Without that appetite, you will be stuffed to death."
He had no doubt that once the Emerald Tiger really wanted to do business in Zhao State, Zhao Wangyan would eat him up.
In Korea, with the night sky watching over it, the Emerald Tiger can make as much money as he wants.
But in Zhao State.
How much money the Emerald Tiger wants to make depends on whether King Zhao Yan is willing to do so.
Everyone thinks that King Zhao Yan is ridiculous, but if he is really ridiculous, how can he make the people below him obey him? This is a technical job.
The Emerald Tiger wiped the sweat from his face and nodded, indicating that he understood.
. . . . . . . . .
South Korea border.
As the evening approached, the light rain was still falling, but the dark clouds in the sky dispersed a lot, causing the rain to gradually subside until little bits of rain fell.
The cool autumn wind after the rain blew the branches and leaves, causing the raindrops on them to slide down and drip on the carriage below, splashing and falling on the fighting soldiers around. As for the rain, the surrounding The standing Korean soldiers were indifferent, standing at their posts with expressionless faces, guarding the houses behind them.
The house is not big, just a simple house.
It is not difficult to tell from the eaves and walls of the house that this house has just been renovated. However, there are two white lanterns hanging at the door of the house, and paper money is scattered around. You can see inside through the open door. There was a coffin placed, making the atmosphere much more solemn.
There were two people standing in the room at the moment.
The leader was naturally Han Fei, who was in charge of this matter. Zhang Liang assisted at the side and recorded Han Fei's words.
The two are conducting an autopsy.
Because Qin's envoys will arrive in South Korea in the near future, and now Qin's army is pressing on the border, South Korea will naturally have to find ways to calm Qin's anger, such as finding out the cause of death, arresting the murderer, etc. At least this attitude must be given.
Just like this room where the corpse is placed, if the deceased was not an envoy of the Qin State, there would be no need to renovate it or even build a mourning hall for him.
In this troubled world, human life is not valuable.
"Kacha~"
Han Fei's autopsy was not slow. He quickly recorded what he wanted and closed the coffin. In fact, everyone knew that it didn't matter who killed the Qin envoy. What mattered was that he died in On the territory of South Korea, and this person is also an envoy of the Qin State.
Represents the state of Qin.
South Korea must give an explanation to Qin. This is the face of a country.
"Tianze's methods are really cruel."
Zhang Liang said slowly after reading it, while looking at Han Fei.
Han Fei rubbed his eyebrows and said softly: "Tianze's move is to provoke a war between the two countries. I don't know if Ji Wuye will try his best. If Tianze causes any trouble again, then..."
He didn't like the feeling of being unable to grasp it.
At this moment, there was a strange noise outside the door, which instantly attracted their attention.
I saw a group of people walking slowly on the path not far away.
The leader was a young man in a robe. The young man was about twenty-four or five years old. He had deep eyes and a faint smile on his lips. It was a smile that was extremely confident in himself. The whole person looked high-spirited and seemed to be walking. Accompanied by a gentle breeze.
At the same time, there was a young swordsman following him. He had a handsome face and sharp eyes, like a sharp sword.
In addition to this swordsman, there were eight soldiers wearing Qin's black armor following him.
The group of people walked over slowly.
Along the way, the Korean soldiers did not dare to stop them and could only watch them walk into the small courtyard.
After the soldiers along the way saw the token in the opponent's Qin soldiers' hands, they let him go without daring to stop him at all.
The moment Han Fei saw the other person, his expression instantly became serious. Compared to the time at Little Sage Manor, Li Si looked high-spirited and satisfied now.
"Brush~"
Li Si raised his hand to stop the following Qin troops, who also had orders and prohibitions. The moment Li Si raised his hand, they stopped and stood on both sides.
"The envoy of the State of Qin...Li Si has met the Ninth Young Master."
Li Si led Gai Nie forward slowly and walked into the house. His eyes were not interested in the other people in the house or the coffin. He just stared at the person who was also looking at him, bowed his hands and said softly.
As he finished speaking, his eyes lit up.
At this moment, the two seemed to have returned to the day they parted. (End of chapter)
