When Zhao Tuo returned, his face was full of frustration.

Li You saw it in his eyes and felt secretly relieved.

I knew in my heart that this boy must have been severely reprimanded by the king to let him know what the difference between men and women is and the way of superiority and inferiority.

After this incident, I thought that even if Zhao Tuo had not fallen out of favor in front of the king, he would definitely not act as arrogantly as before and would dare to leave with the princess in broad daylight.

Things developed just as Li You thought.

Since that day, Princess Yinman no longer used to forcefully take Zhao Tuo away under the guise of Master Fu Su.

Because, these two people changed to a more covert method.

Zhao Tuo wrote the plot of the story in advance on a slip every day, took it to the palace and handed it to the waiting princess attendant, and then handed it over to Ying Yinman.

This matter was brought up by Ying Yinman himself.

She is not an arrogant and ignorant woman. Although she cleverly resolved the crisis that day, Qin Wangzheng did not say anything about the matter.

But Ying Yinman knew that if he continued to act as before, he would soon cause other problems, so he came up with this method of secretly passing slips.

In this way, I can relieve my addiction to stories without being too obvious and attracting the jealousy of some people.

The two of them passed letters through slips and slips, and back and forth, in addition to stories, they would inevitably write some other things.

Li You didn't know about this, and he didn't even know that Zhao Tuo's depressed expression that day was specially prepared for him.

Li You only knew that Zhao Tuo was a pretty good guy overall, except for the princess incident.

He is courteous to himself, gets things done quickly and well, and speaks nicely.

Coupled with the king's favor for Zhao Tuo and his father Li Si's advice.

Li You did not hold a grudge because of the princess and went out of his way to make things difficult for Zhao Tuo.

After all, that matter was Mr. Fu Su's intention. Although it made me feel uncomfortable, it would be over after it happened, so there was no need to worry too much about it.

Moreover, at this time, Li Si was only a long history official and had not yet become a court official. The Li family had not yet stood at the pinnacle of power in the Qin State. There were still various senior ministers suppressing them, and they had no qualifications to be arrogant.

In this case, the relationship between Li You, who has good qualities, and Zhao Tuo is relatively normal, and there is no conflict.

The calm and monotonous days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was the eleventh month of the Qin calendar.

For Zhao Tuo, two important things happened in the middle.

The first thing he did was to take advantage of Xiu Mu's time to fulfill his promise and visit Changwen Jun's Mansion.

Chang Wenjun had warmly invited him before. Although Zhao Tuo did not want to have too much contact with him, he did not want to offend a monarch for this.

Compared with the previous depression in Changpingjun's house, Changwenjun's house was actually peaceful.

This monarch had a very good attitude towards Zhao Tuo. He not only invited Zhao Tuo to have a banquet, arranged singing and dancing to entertain him, but even gave him a pile of pearls and jade as a farewell gift.

Zhao Tuo ate and watched singing and dancing, but he did not accept the gifts.

Fortunately, Chang Wenjun did not force him, but praised him with a smile, calling him the future pillar of Qin.

Zhao Tuo was not knocked down by Chang Wenjun's sugar-coated bullets. From Chang Wenjun's words, he knew what the other party wanted.

….

Joined the Chu faction and became the helper of Prince Fusu.

Zhao Tuo did not comment on this, he was just conceding and waiting for one day.

Compared with Chang Wenjun's warm reception, what Zhao Tuo really cared about was the second thing.

Changping Jun, who resigned from the post of Prime Minister You, left Xianyang in the name of pacifying Han Dynasty.

Zhao Tuo knew very well what the real purpose of Changping Jun's visit was.

Thinking of that kind face and that gentle voice, Zhao Tuo felt chills running down his back.

Changping-kun's departure means that that event is getting closer.

A real life and death crisis!

However, Zhao Tuo did not have time to think about this matter much, because with the departure of Lord Changping, something big happened again in Xianyang City.

The envoy from Chu State arrived.

They traveled westward from the capital of Chu and entered Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

The purpose of the envoy's trip was to represent the King of Chu and offer the land to the King of Qin for peace.

On the second day after the Chu envoy entered Xianyang, another major event happened in the capital of Qin.

The prince of Yan State captured by the Qin army years ago.

The mastermind who ordered Yan to assassinate Jing Ke last year.

Yan Dan.

He was sentenced to death by Qin Wangzheng himself, and his car was torn apart in public in Xianyang City.

Pedestrian crossing.

After the last fire caused by the Yan State Mission, the rebuilt State Guesthouse was taller and more spacious, symbolizing the country's growing strength.

"Jun Songyang, the King of Qin deliberately smashed the Prince of Yan's carriage in front of us. He is intimidating us!"

In the library, a man spoke angrily.

This man was nearly thirty years old, with a tall figure, eight feet tall. His face was square and handsome, and the burning anger in his eyes showed that he was in a state of agitation at the moment.

Songyang Jun Jingzhao sighed and said to the man: "Qu, since you know better, why are you so angry."

"Now Qin is strong and the six kingdoms are weak. No, Han and Zhao have been destroyed, and Yan is dead in name only, leaving only the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Qi. Under this situation, no matter what King Qin wants to do, who can stop him? ?」

"Don't forget, why did you and I enter Qin this time? Put away your anger and shoulder your duties as deputy envoys. You must ask for peace from the King of Qin this time, in order to find a glimmer of hope for our country of Chu. .”

Listening to Jing Zhao's helpless words, Xiang Qu also remembered his father Xiang Yan's parting words.

Qin was strong and Chu was weak, and because of the fact that King Chu had usurped the throne, many feudal lords in Chu were dissatisfied. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Chu to concentrate its forces against Qin.

As a result, when King Ben attacked Chu last year, he captured more than ten cities in Chu State, and Chu State even lost its old capital Chen Ying.

Chu State needs time to integrate internally.

Now that Lord Songyang has entered Qin, he has come with the sincerity of Chu to offer his land for peace.

Thinking of this, the anger in Xiang Qu's heart gradually weakened, and he could only say hatefully: "It's a shame that Jing Ke's attempt to assassinate Qin last year failed. If it had succeeded, Qin would have been in chaos. How could our Chu country be reduced to such a state? Everyone in the six countries said, The reason why Jing Ke failed was because his deputy Gao Tuo betrayed him. He is so hateful. If I see Gao Tuo, I will cut him into pieces on the spot!"

When Jing Zhao heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stared at Xiang Qu and said, "Qu, I can tell you. This entry into Qin is related to the life and death of our Chu country. You must not act on your own initiative. You must obey my orders."

Xiang Qu frowned, but nodded and said, "No."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Jing Zhao was relieved.

King Chu of Chu did not know what he was thinking, but he actually handed over the task of deputy envoy to Xiang Qu, the son of Xiang Yan. This man is courageous, has a healthy personality, and is a good warrior. However, as a deputy envoy, he lacks some agility.

Fortunately, Qu has a general understanding of this and is not a pure martial artist. Now that he has promised, he will definitely not cause any trouble.

In order to lighten the atmosphere, Jing Zhao asked with a smile: "Qu, I heard that your son is born with supernatural powers?"

Hearing this, Xiang Qu smiled on his face.

"Yes, that kid is only seven years old, but he is very strong. He can already lift dozens of kilograms of things with one hand. He just likes to talk big, and he even said that one day he can lift the thousand-jin cauldron at home."

When Xiang Qu said this, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Suddenly, he remembered the boastful appearance of his own boy.

And, that pair of strange heavy children.
