Xiao Yuan's side is dealing with Huandi, and Lingguo's side is also dealing with Fuyang and other places.
Ling Wang Palace, in the study room.
Cheng Ping was reporting respectfully: "According to reliable information, the person who killed Yang Qing'an has appeared in Jinxiang County in our country. He took the alias Ji Fu and became a local tycoon. He also had some dealings with the Jinxiang government."
"The money that made him a wealthy gentry must have been the official silver of the State of Qin." King Ling chuckled lightly and said, "Can I arrest him?"
"You can do it at any time." Cheng Ping said directly.
"Yes." King Ling nodded: "For us, this is also an opportunity. An opportunity for Qin Ling to repair himself again. We can secretly arrest those people and give them to King Qin. Just treat it as a favor. ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Cheng Ping said: "Now that the Huan Kingdom has been destroyed and the Qin Kingdom has become the overlord of the north, our country should no longer have a direct conflict with it, especially in Fuyang and other places now. The King of Qin may use troops. We should take advantage of this opportunity. This is an opportunity to rebuild friendship and peacefully resolve the Huandi issue."
"Well, that's exactly what I mean, go ahead and do it."
"yes."
For King Ling, Ji Ao and others were undoubtedly a small gift to Qin, through which many things could be said.
As for Ji Ao, he thought he would be fine if he ran to Ling Kingdom, but he was still in China. No matter which country he was in, how could the kings offend Qin King Xiao Yuan just to protect such a small role like him.
With the strength of the Ling Kingdom, it was not easy to deal with him. King Ling gave an order, and a large number of elites poured into Jinxiang County, directly searched Ji Ao's newly purchased mansion, and arrested all his people.
At that time, the magistrate of Jinxiang County didn't know what happened. He came over after hearing the news, but when he saw that it was someone sent from the top, he was immediately frightened.
And when Ji Ao came to Jinxiang, he frequently gave gifts to the county magistrate. When he was arrested, when he saw the county magistrate, he naturally shouted for help: "Sir, please save me, please help me..."
How could the elite spies of the Ling Kingdom pay any attention to him?
The Jinxiang County Magistrate turned pale with fright and kept saying, "I don't know him! I don't know him at all!"
Ji Ao and others were arrested and secretly detained. Knowing that Xiao Yuan was still in Huanzhou, King Ling immediately sent a letter to them, and at the same time sent Cheng Ping to go there in person.
More than ten days later.
Xiao Yuan naturally treated the Lingguo minister with courtesy and hosted a banquet to accompany him.
At the banquet, after drinking a glass of wine, Cheng Ping also raised his hand towards Xiao Yuan and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the former minister of your country, Mr. Yang Qing'an, was killed by gangsters. He was really jealous of the talented man. After my king heard about it, I am also very sad and angry.”
"But the murderer Ji Ao hid in Jinxiang County in Lingguo after he caused harm to others. Our king learned that how could he be left to his own devices? With the king's order, all of them were arrested and sent to His Highness for disposal."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "So, Brother Ling Wang is interested. It just so happens that I have a hard time looking for Ji Ao."
"It would be an honor for a foreign minister if I could relieve His Highness' worries," Cheng Ping said.
"Master Cheng, you're welcome." Xiao Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
Cheng Ping also smiled and said: "Help friends, it is within the scope of the Ling Kingdom."
"Oh? Friend?" Xiao Yuan was very interested.
"Of course, aren't Qin and Ling friends friends? Although there were some misunderstandings before, it is inevitable. What is more important than reestablishing friendship between the two countries." Cheng Ping said with a smile.
"Well, it makes sense." Xiao Yuan would not refuse if the Ling Kingdom wanted to repair it, because within three to five years, the power of the Qin State alone would not be able to destroy the Ling Kingdom. Instead of being hostile all the time, it is better to take advantage of the situation and make peace, so that the next situation can be better There are greater benefits.
After nodding, he also said cheerfully: "There is a lot of cooperation between Qin Ling. I and brother Ling Wang also have the same view. Come, Master Cheng, please drink this cup."
By saying this, he recognized that the four southern counties of Huandi belonged to the spiritual kingdom, and there would be no more disputes. There was nothing he could do about it.
When Cheng Ping heard this, his face showed joy, and he quickly held the cup and said: "Your Highness is a wise and powerful man, and I, the king, are both the heroes of the day. Please."
The atmosphere of this banquet was quite good, at least on the surface.
After the show was over, Cheng Ping was sent to where he was staying, and Xiao Yuan sighed slightly.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wenruo said: "Your Majesty, now King Ling has sent Ji Ao and others to make peace. In fact, he is just afraid that there will be problems in Fuyang and other places, and he does not want to have any more conflicts with our country."
"I don't know about this." Xiao Yuan said: "But we have no choice. It is not a bad thing to rebuild the relationship with the Ling Kingdom. The four southern counties of the Huan Kingdom can only be given to them."
In this battle to destroy Huan, the Qin State gained more than ten counties, and the Ling Kingdom was divided into four counties. After hundreds of years, the Huan Kingdom disappeared in the long river of history.
At the same time, Xuanjun also began to withdraw from Qingtian.
Four of the nine kingdoms in the world have gone.
There was also a semblance of peace in the Central Plains.
More than a month later, the bandit suppression in Huandi was coming to an end. Battle reports from various places came back, the Wuwei Mansion was completely established, officials from various places took office, and Huandi gradually began to develop in a stable direction.
At this time, Xiao Yuan was also ready to return to the capital.
After several defeats, Huan's treasury was unable to make ends meet due to the huge military expenditures, the plunder of the ghost clan, and the huge amount of silver compensation everywhere. What was left was only more than a million taels of silver, so it was taken over by Xiao Yuan. It was left to Zhang Gongyou for the purpose of stabilizing the political situation in Huandi and treasury.
At the same time, regarding the withdrawal of troops, Xiao Yuan still appointed Zhao Mu to guard the local troops, and the latter seemed to have become the main garrison commander.
After dealing with these, Xiao Yuan began to return to the court with his troops.
The soldiers of the Qin army formed several long queues, with black armor and red tassels as far as the eye could see. There were numerous halberds and flying flags. The tall king's car was driving in the middle. In the car, Huang Yunwei was happy in her heart and opened the curtains from time to time. Look at the scenery outside.
The army took its time and did not arrive in Qinzhou until more than twenty days later.
At this time, the civil and military officials who had received the news had already gone out to greet the city and were looking forward to it.
Now that the Qin State has unified the north, it is truly the most powerful country. All the ministers were excited. When they saw King Xiao Yuan coming, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome the King back to the capital——"
Xiao Yuan stepped out of the car and glanced at the ministers: "Let's all get back together."
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" The ministers stood up and quickly stepped aside. Many people also looked curiously at Huang Yunwei next to Xiao Yuan, and then lowered their heads slightly.
At this time, Xiao Yuan's eyes naturally fell on Zhong Duoduo.
The latter still looks like a girl. Although she is beautiful, she is staring at Xiao Yuan with beautiful eyes and full of anger.
It's over, the jealousy jar is about to be overturned again.
