The study was not very bright, especially when the doors and windows were closed. There were only a few lights on the desk and on both sides of the table. Turning around, Lian Po's figure was looming in the dim light. Coupled with the unclear purpose of his visit, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a gray fog, which was indescribably weird.
Even in the summer, it is unknowingly chilling.
Lord Xinling, who was used to seeing the big world, couldn't help but trembled in his heart. He knew that something big was going to happen tonight.
He hurriedly took out the torch from his robe and wanted to light up the lights in the room. However, although he was suppressing his composure, the trembling movements in his hands exposed the fear in his heart.
Looking at Lord Xinling whose hands were shaking violently, Lian Po was speechless. Was he that scary? As for being so scared?
If Lord Xinling knew what Lian Po was complaining about, he would definitely shout loudly: "Of course! Of course!"
Can you blame me!
Who are you, Lian Po! The number one general in the Zhao Kingdom and a very important figure in the Seven Kingdoms.
Who am I? To put it mildly, I am called the king's younger brother. At worst, I am the heir to the throne who is not in line.
It would be better for you to arrive at Daliang quietly and uninvited. You arrived just as you said you would, and you went to find the king. Why did you come to me? If you are looking for me, just look for me. You came here at night, and even pretended to be my Pingyuan sister. It was obvious that you wanted to deceive others!
What would the king think if he found out?
If you go to such great lengths to deceive others, who should you deceive? Everything in this Daliang City belongs to me!
So what are you trying to do to deceive others?
A member of the royal family and a general from another country secretly "collude", what else can they do?
Besides colluding with the State of Zhao and plotting against the State of Wei, what other ideas would the king have? Will I still listen to your excuses? And once the crime of "connecting with foreign countries" is proven, at least it will be beheaded in public, at worst it will implicate the whole government...
If it were you, you would panic before you knew the purpose of the person in front of you!
"It seems that Lord Xinling already knows who this general is!" Lian Po reached out to take the fire stick from Lord Xinling, turned around, and said slowly while helping Lord Xinling light the oil lamp.
General! ?
It's him!
Sure enough it was him!
How to do how to do? Is it too late to surrender to the king now?
When Lord Xinling heard these two words, he felt like he was struck by lightning!
After only a moment of loss of concentration, Lord Xinling was worthy of being one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period. His depth of the city and his quickness of response were beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even though the purpose of the person in front of him was unclear, and even though life and death were unknown as he continued to talk, Lord Xinling still suppressed the doubts and anxiety in his heart and gave a slight salute to General Lian Po.
"It turned out to be Old General Lian in person." Mr. Xinling stood up, calmed down his mind again, and said, "Old General Lian came to my humble residence in person late at night. I must have been flattered. Please forgive me for any lack of hospitality."
With that said, Lord Xinling stretched out his right hand and motioned for General Lian Po to take his seat.
"You're welcome, Your Majesty." Lian Po calmly took his seat.
So, two people sat opposite each other at a small table, looking directly at each other, but no one was willing to start talking first. We are both old friends, so we naturally understand the game between the two sides. The one who cannot hold back his words first has already lost half the battle.
Lian Po came with his life, and was responsible for the life and death of 400,000 Zhao troops and even the entire Zhao country. The great pressure he felt was evident. However, the more this happened, the more Lian Po knew that he could not make the slightest mistake, not even a single step.
On the other hand, Lord Xinling, although he knew that Lian Poqi came quietly at night to ask for something, the problem was that he didn't know what he wanted? If you are simply recruiting troops for Zhao, it seems, as if, maybe you don't need to disguise yourself like this.
The unknown is always the biggest fear.
Lord Xinling knew that he could not wait any longer, so he smiled loudly, which was both a sign of submission and a cover-up. He smiled at Lian Po and said, "I am flattered that General Lian is here in person!"
Then he lowered his eyebrows and Lord Xinling spoke again: "I just don't know why General Lianpo is here when he is not in front of the Shangdang army?"
"Oh? Don't you know, Mr. Xinling?" Lian Po looked a little downcast and a little confused. After all, he seemed to have thought of something. He said a little discouraged, "That's right. The confrontation in Changping and the traffic obstruction mean that the information is naturally not transmitted smoothly. ."、
In a few twists and turns, Lian Po vividly demonstrated his depression after being dismissed, his injustice that was not known to others, and his worries about this mission.
Who said Lian Po is a big boss? ! Lin Xiangru is the first one not to agree!
"I'd like to hear the details!" Lord Xinling was obviously intrigued by Lian Po's performance and quickly answered.
When Lian Po saw this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he calmly lit the oil lamp in front of him. The milky white wick was slowly raised by Lian Po, and the flame became stronger. It became much brighter, and in the flickering firelight, the weathered color on Lian Po's face became more conspicuous.
"My king issued an edict: It has been more than ten days since Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fu, was appointed as the general of Zhao State and replaced the general of Changping. However, Lian Po is now just a commoner of Zhao State who is unwilling to be degraded!" Lian Po was very worried. He said a little lonely.
"Ma Fuzi? Zhao Kuo? Why are you here? How can you replace Old General Lian?" Lord Xinling asked with some surprise. Although there is no shortage of famous generals in the Zhao Kingdom, apart from Tian Dan, the one who may be comparable to Lian Po is Tian Dan. I haven't heard of anyone else. What's more, it seems that the name "Zhao Kuo" has never been heard before.
In an instant, Lord Xinling's mind was racing. It was not that he doubted the authenticity of what Lian Po said. After all, this kind of thing could be verified immediately with just a little inquiry. With his thoughts racing, Lord Xinling kept searching for information about the two keywords "Zhao Kuo" and "Ma Fuzi" in his mind.
Because of the long-term strategic cooperation between Zhao and Wei, Lord Xinling is the son of Wei and the brother-in-law of Lord Pingyuan of Zhao. He is not only familiar with the personnel situation of the Zhao army, but also knows it closely. Ten.
Soon, Mr. Xinling keenly captured several useful correlation points from the vast amount of personnel information: Ma Wei, General, and Zhao surname.
The answer is already obvious - Ma Fujun Zhao She, General Zhao.
Without waiting for Lian Po's reply, Lord Xinling replied: "Zhao Kuo? But the late Mafu Lord Zhao She, the son of General Zhao?"
"Of course." Lian Po nodded, but did not make any further comments.
"This son." Lord Xinling paused, as if to awaken the few memories of Zhao Kuo in his mind, and then said: "This son, I have also heard of. It is said that he is familiar with military books and has mastered the essence of military strategists. , every time he played chess, even his father would have a hard time beating him."
