Chapter 252: Don't take it and don't let it go

King Qin's face sank again: "This captured tiger, the resourceful Mr. Fan Guan has nothing to do?"

Fan Guan still shook his head: "King, the only one who can deal with these prisoners of war now is Bai Qi." ”

King Qin was stunned: "Aiqing, what do you mean by this? Bai Qi is still in Hou Zhi." ”

Fan said: "Since it is impossible to accept or release, the king will give Bai four words: 'If you don't take it, you won't let go'." ”

King Qin looked at Fan and laughed: "I don't want the prime minister to be so hypocritical!"

Suddenly, the sergeant came to report: "The imperial envoy has arrived!" Bai Qi was suddenly overjoyed and hurried out of the camp. The imperial envoy read the holy decree and offered a great sacrifice to the three armies. But there was no mention of Zhao prisoner.

Bai Qi felt strange in his heart, and bowed his head and asked: "The 400,000 Zhao army captives, the daily consumption is huge, I don't know how the king will explain?"

The envoy laughed, "That's exactly what I'm going to say to you." The king only has four words: 'Don't take it and don't let it go'!"

Bai Qi was taken aback: "'Don't take it and don't let it go'? What does this mean?"

The envoy sneered: "What do you mean, it's up to you." Let's say goodbye!" said and walked away.

Bai raised his eyebrows and was silent for a long time. The generals asked why, and Bai Qi said: "The king only passed on a verbal will, and only four words for the 400,000 Zhao prisoners: 'Don't take it and don't let it go'!"

The generals were also surprised: "What does this mean?"

Bai Qi muttered: "'Not receiving' clearly means not allowing Zhao prisoners to enter the Qin State, and 'not letting go' means not allowing them to be released! This makes us helpless? How much grain do ?......we have to eat in a day for 400,000 captives?"

The generals were also at a loss and talked about it.

Bai Qi thought about it again and again, and shouted: "Bring the battle report!" The sergeant immediately took a pen and paper. Bai Qi cautiously wrote: "The 400,000 Zhao army prisoners, the daily consumption is huge, please Your Majesty settle it as soon as possible." ”

The general was surprised: "General, the king has already confessed just now, and if you ask again, I am afraid that you will be guilty of bullying the king!"

Bai Qi sighed lightly: "400,000 lives, you can't decide with a verbal will." ”

The messenger flew to report to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin was stunned for a moment, and immediately summoned the imperial envoy who sent the decree to Bai Qi - Gao Le: "Why didn't you pass on the widow's will?"

Gao Le was taken aback: "King, in accordance with your decree, the minister has passed the holy decree to Bai Qi, and nothing has been missed!"

King Qin angrily threw down Bai Qi's report: "Why does Bai Qi still inquire about this!"

Gao Le shook his head: "I don't know...... This is clearly pretending to be confused, asking knowingly!"

King Qin angrily reprimanded: "Bold minion! It is clear that you are not good for passing on the decree, and you dare to quibble here!" King Qin's eyes swept to both sides, and he shouted: "Come on!

This paralyzed Gao Le, and immediately begged for mercy: "King, for the sake of the slave who has been waiting for you for many years, spare the slave's life......"

King Qin let out a "hmm" and suppressed his anger, and the other palace people also interceded. "Okay, for your sake, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not be spared!

The guards immediately dragged him out and beat him violently. After the beating, he reported to the king of Qin: "King, the execution has been completed." ”

King Qin nodded: "Drag it in!" But seeing that this palace person was beaten to the point that his skin was open, covered in blood, and he was dying.

King Qin asked, "Do you remember the lesson?"

Gao Le immediately replied in a trembling voice: "The slave has written it down, how dare you do it again!"

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, and go to the decree immediately!"

Gao Le said "ah": "Dare to ask the king what will the minions do?"

King Qin immediately shouted angrily: "Come on, pull me out and beat me to death!"

Gao Le immediately wailed: "The slave only knew, it was to let the slave pass the decree to Bai Qi again!"

King Qin smiled: "It seems that I haven't confused you yet." ”

"How dare a minion? It's just that Bai Qi is so far away, and the minion can't climb it, so how can he go thousands of miles away......

"It's your business, and you have five days to reply!"

"Oh, king, please spare your life!"

King Qin sneered: "Drag it out!"

Gao Le cried out: "Great king, it is not that the slave does not use force, but that he is cunning by nature, if it is still a 'verbal decree', I am afraid that he will quibble!"

King Qin pondered: "Okay, the widow won't embarrass you!" Immediately drew up a holy decree and threw it to the palace person: "Go and return quickly!"

Gao Le had to lie down in a carriage, put a thick cotton cushion under him, and galloped day and night to the camp of Baiqi. Bai Qi was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly sent someone to bring him into the camp.

As soon as Gao Le saw Bai Qi, he immediately became angry: "It's all you, and your family almost lost their lives!"

Bai Qi was taken aback: "Why did my father-in-law say this?"

"Hmph, don't you know? It's all because you don't obey the holy decree! So much so that the king blames me for not being effective in transmitting the decree, and I have beaten forty boards! This is still our family's bitter begging, otherwise our family would have been in a different place a long time ago......."

Bai Qi smiled and said: "My father-in-law really confused Bai Qi, Bai Qi has already acted according to the order, how can my father-in-law not pass on the decree?"

Gao Le snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, can you carry out the oral decree handed down by our family?"

Bai Qi smiled: "Then you have to prove that it is indeed a holy decree, not a father-in-law's words." ”

Gao Le's fiery eyes widened: "Do you dare to say that our family is falsely transmitting the holy decree?"

Bai Qi smiled: "This army did not say so. ”

"Then you still don't do what you want!"

"But you have to give your holy decree. ”

Gao Le snorted: "Bai Qi, you want to make the king unhappy!" He reluctantly took out the holy decree from his bosom and suddenly shouted: "Bai Qi takes the decree!"

Bai Qi and the others immediately fell to their knees. Gao Le reluctantly stood up and shouted loudly: "Fengtian carrier, King Qin's edict said: Don't accept it." Chin this. Bai Qi, take the order. ”

Bai Qi slammed his head on the ground: "Thank you, Lord Longen." "Take it with both hands.

Gao Le smiled and said, "Wu Anjun, please do what you want." ”

"Okay!" Bai Qi nodded and turned away.

The generals asked urgently: "General, how?"

Bai Qi chuckled: "Don't worry about him!"

"Oh, General, it's a holy decree......"

"The holy decree told me to wait for 'not to take and not to let go', but what is 'not to take and not to let go'? Only God knows!"

After a long time, the palace man Gao Le hurriedly came to find: "Wu Anjun, why don't you do it yet?"

Bai Qi was stunned: "What kind of hand?"

Gao Le's eyes immediately widened with anger: "Wu Anjun, what are you pretending to be confused! You dare not do your will!"

"The will makes me 'not take it and not let go.'" Now the army is moving slowly, and it is indeed 'not taking it or letting go'. ”

Gao Le said angrily: "Wu Anjun, who said you marched!"

"So what should I do?"

"The Holy Lord is clearly asking you not to accept the prisoners of war of the Zhao State!

Bai Qi smiled: "No, when did the king have such a will?"
