Zhao Zheng's complicated eyes were fixed on Zhao Gao for a long time, but he couldn't see anything. Seeing that he was about to leave, he immediately raised his legs to follow: "I'm going too."
"I'm just going to see Brother Wang, I won't..." This time I made an appointment with Wang Chong to discuss state affairs. Zhao Zheng nodded before leaving Qin, and Wei Liao and Zhi Su Nei Shi Bai Heng asked him to come over as a lobbyist. Although the matter is of great importance, it is obvious that this kind of matter does not require Zhao Zheng, the King of Qin, to show up in person.
Moreover, Zhao Gao also wanted to take this opportunity to temporarily distance himself from him, so that he could have more time to calm down.
But Zhao Zheng saw that he was in a state of low energy, so he was not willing to let him go out alone. Seeing that he still insisted, he simply put on his posture and interrupted in an unquestionable tone: "You can only feel relieved if I accompany you like this."
His words disrupted Zhao Gao's thoughts again. For a moment, he couldn't think of anything to refute him. In this case, Zhao Gao didn't bother to bother to insist on anything. He closed his eyes, sorted out his emotions secretly, and then opened his eyes again. Kai became much calmer and nodded in agreement.
The agreed meeting place was the Wang family's old house. Zhao Gao looked for a place and found someone waiting at the door. He nodded slightly to Zhao Zheng, signaled to wait, and then walked up to talk to the servant.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything after his name was announced, the other party was very surprised and said: "My master's friend turns out to be like this! Ah, I'm sorry, please come quickly."
Looking at this exaggerated look, Zhao Gao shook his head helplessly: It's true that one family does not want to enter the same house. He turned his head to look at Zhao Zheng, and when his eyes met, he found that the child seemed to be worried or even afraid of something. Although he suppressed it very well, he still caught those slight mood swings.
Looking at Zhao Zheng like this, Zhao Gao felt soft-hearted. At this moment, there was no king and no ministers. He lowered his head and thought carefully and finally realized that it was his abnormal attitude that made the child behave like this, because after that incident, he seemed to Never laughed once.
In fact, it was not intentional, Zhao Gao just didn't know how to face him, or what mood to face him with, so he was confused for a moment and seemed a bit stiff.
Knowing that this was not the way to go, he managed to put a smile on his lips. Zhao Gao looked at him and said softly: "Go in, don't keep people waiting."
Little did he know that after he finished speaking and turned around, Zhao Zheng's lips curled up, his eyes flashed, and he looked like a treacherous villain who had succeeded in his conspiracy. Although Zhao Zheng was not sure whether Zhao Gao was angry about that incident, he knew how to understand Zhao Gao's thoughts best, knowing that as long as he showed a little vulnerability, he would definitely be soft-hearted.
Wang Chong and Zhao Wang walked to the atrium and greeted him. Seeing Zhao Zheng behind Zhao Gao, Wang Chong felt that he looked familiar. When he looked carefully, his eyelids twitched. He pulled Zhao Gao aside and asked in a low voice: " Is he..." Wang Chong didn't dare to finish what he said, his heart was pounding, so he pointed at Zhao Gao and hurriedly said it all.
Zhao Gao followed him as if nothing had happened and asked funnyly: "What is it?" His face was full of confusion, as if he didn't understand Wang Chong's subtext at all. Seeing that Wang Chong was hesitant to speak, Zhao Gao turned around and introduced him proactively: "A friend of my younger brother, Xie Zheng, came uninvited today. Please forgive me, brother Wang."
Wang Chong believed that he was the one who had the ghost. He was about to complain and said: Brother, this is not interesting enough. But then I thought about it and looked at the two people's positions carefully before I understood what Zhao Gao meant: Doesn't this already tell me what to do?
Their little private actions could not be hidden from Zhao Zheng. His eyes fell lightly on Wang Chong's hand holding Zhao Gao's arm. He frowned. Out of sight and out of mind, he turned to look at Meiyan and Zhao who were standing nearby. Gao Yin vaguely resembles Zhao Wang. At this sight, he forgot his previous displeasure and felt it was quite magical.
The Zhao Wang in front of him was less gentle and calm than Zhao Gao, and more capable and shrewd of a businessman. Two people with similar looks clearly have different temperaments, and their impressions are completely different. Zhao Zheng believed that even if there were exactly the same faces in front of him, one could only give him a feeling of indifference, but the other one was still excited.
Zhao Wang, who was originally looking at his brother and Wang Chong, was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Zhao Zheng's hawk-like eyes, and was secretly frightened. He felt inexplicably familiar when he saw Zhao Zheng before, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before. . Looking at Wang Chong's cautious attitude, he knew that this person was not simple, and he didn't dare to turn around and look at him.
Wang Chong, who felt guilty, coughed dryly and forced himself to calmly hold his hand over to Zhao Zheng: "I don't know that Brother Xie is coming, so I missed you from afar. I'm sorry... um... I'm sorry."
Except for his elders, Zhao Zheng has never been particularly enthusiastic towards anyone other than Zhao Gao. Although this is a small part of his nature, this situation has become even worse after the Qinian Palace Rebellion. Now, in order to save Zhao Gao's face, the atmosphere will not be too embarrassing. , his originally straight lip line finally softened symbolically, and then nodded, making a faint "hmm" sound.
Wang Chong remembered the time when he unscrupulously pulled people's hair. Although it was out of love for smoothing hair, he remembered that the baby looked at him angrily and tried to hide behind Zhao Gao. Even though his attitude was cold and stern, he finally talked to her, and his heart finally dropped.
After finally dealing with these two people, Zhao Gao's eyes fell on Zhao Wang again. After looking at him for a long time, he patted his shoulder apologetically and said, "I can't help you. I caught up with Ah Cheng's crowning ceremony. I didn't Take care of you."
Zhao Wang has been attached to him since he was a child, but now that he is older, he rarely sees him as Wang Chong travels around. He is very happy to see him. How can he blame him: "Brother, what did you say? You asked someone to send him to the outside of the wall." I have received everything that came, but as my brother, I can't help you, so I can't blame you."
"When you get married, I will definitely make up for it." Zhao Gao naturally put his hands on his shoulders and joked with a half-smile. After finishing speaking, he paused and then looked at Zhao Zheng to introduce him: "Do you still remember the young gentleman who came to our house and raised you a few months ago? This is Brother Xie."
This mention of Zhao Wang made some impression, but I don't remember much. Observing his words, he also knew that this person was very important. Although his brother deliberately introduced him after the brothers had exchanged greetings, he emphasized that he was a few months older in the end, which was intended to tell him that everything was business as usual but he should not be taken lightly. Even though Wang Chong had already bowed to this man when he greeted him before, he still bowed his hand again now: "Foolish brother has seen Brother Xie."
"No need to be polite." Zhao Zheng nodded.
If Zhao Zheng hadn't come, with Wang Chong's temperament, Zhao Gao would have been dragged in for a drink long ago, how could he have been lounging in the atrium for so long. But now that the people are here and Zhao Gao has shown him the way, he is too lazy to pretend to be formal and polite.
The four of them sat down at the table. When the food and drinks were served, Wang Chong stepped back. He held up the wine cup and was about to persuade him to drink, but he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to snatch the copper cup from Zhao Gao's hand and said to Wang Chong: "He is injured, I will drink for him."
"Brother is injured?"
"Brother is injured?"
Wang Chong and Zhao Wang almost said the same thing. Wang Chong's suspicious eyes fell on the two of them, but seeing that there was indeed concern in Zhao Zheng's eyes, he was completely worried about Zhao Gao's health and did not seem to be making a show, so he was a little relieved.
Zhao Gao was afraid that they would be worried and shook his head and said: "I was accidentally injured while riding a horse a few days ago. It has been fine for more than half a month." Now everyone knows that there is a war in the north, so of course Zhao Gao cannot tell them that he went to the north and encountered an earthquake. , so he had to say that he was injured while riding a horse.
Seeing that they were hesitant to speak, Zhao Gao simply changed the subject and said seriously: "Brother Wang, Awang, you should know the purpose of my visit this time. It is not suitable to stay in Handan for a long time. I don't have much time, so I will tell you directly."
Seeing him like this, Wang Chong and Zhao Wang nodded and became serious.
"Brother Wang mentioned in his letter a few days ago that he intends to return to the Central Plains, is that true?" Zhao Gao looked at Wang Chong and asked.
Wang Chong and Zhao Wang looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, the business over there is already quite large, so I don't need to keep an eye on everything. That's true."
"Where should I start? Do you have an idea?" Now everyone knows who Zhao Gao is, and there is no need for an answer when asking this question. It doesn't matter whether Wang Chong is willing to say it or not.
Sure enough, Wang Chong didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Zhao Gao and smiled shrewdly: "It seems that brother is really here to be a lobbyist this time."
Zhao Gao laughed: "Since Brother Wang knows it, I won't stop talking in circles. We have taken a liking to the horses, cattle and sheep given to you by King Rong."
This thing was so solemn that Wang Chong believed that he was the one with the devil, and winked and asked: "Brother, do you want more than this?"
Zhao Gao smiled noncommittally, paused and then said: "We can't bring anything else. Let's look for Sichuan brocade and rare treasures. There are still some. If Brother Wang can help us get on the line with the Rong King, we can use these Exchange with him for more horses, cattle and sheep, and after each delivery, I will convert it into money and pay you an additional 10%."
Just make a line and earn 10%. Where in the world can business be so easy? "I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right?"
"Of course there is a condition. Your people are familiar with it and are responsible for delivering our things over there." Zhao Gao said.
Wang Chong knocked on the table and thought for a while before saying: "The State of Zhao is next to me over there, but not to you... not to the State of Qin." As soon as he said "you" and "I", he realized that Zhao Gao was next to him. There is someone else here. Although he is here to sit with you in name, who can be ignored? So he quickly changed his tune.
"I asked someone to confirm that there is a road to the west that leads to Qinbei." Zhao Gao looked at Wang Chong with a don't try to fool me expression, which made the veins on Wang Chong's head jump. .
He looked helpless and glanced at Zhao Wang. Zhao Wang understood and quickly explained to his brother: "To be honest, brother, our people have walked that road, but the bandits were rampant. Only ten of them came back after more than thirty people went there." , all the goods are gone.”
"Most of the rogue bandits are concentrated in uncontrolled areas on the border. In critical situations, we can send a team of troops from the Qinbei garrison to respond." Zhao Gao said, stroking the copper jue in front of him.
Wang Chong looked at him bitterly: "You've already taken care of your feelings, so you're just going to cheat on your brothers?"
