The palace people reported to the King of Qin: "Bai Qi asks to see." ”

"Oh?" King Qin was taken aback: "Who asked him to come back! He is not in front of the army to lead a thousand troops, what are you doing here?"

Bai Qi saw the King of Qin, and immediately knelt down on his knees: "The last general Bai Qi, see the king." ”

King Qin glanced at him and said, "Get up." ”

"King Xie. ”

"Bai Qi, why are you back?"

"Please forgive the last general for the crime of leaving the army without an edict, and the last general will indeed have an urgent matter to tell. ”

"Oh," King Qin was surprised, "what's the urgency? will let my general come here for thousands of miles?"

"It's for the princess's marriage. Bai Qi said in a deep voice.

"What!" King Qin's face sank: "This is your urgent matter?"

Bai nodded: "Yes." ”

King Qin's face was angry: "You left the army without permission, but it was for such a thing! Do you know that this is a lonely family matter!"

"The king," Bai Qi said, "the king's family affairs are state affairs. ”

"Oh, so what do you think?"

"King, there will be a war between Qin and Zhao, and you must not marry the princess to the king of Zhao!

King Qin sighed lightly: "Don't you know, but this is also for the current situation!"

"The current war situation doesn't need the king to marry the princess!"

King Qin was stunned for a moment: "Just one Chu State, we are already tired of dealing with it, if the Zhao State attacks from the side, what will we do about it? Chu and Zhao must stabilize one family!"

"King, it's right to stabilize the family, but there is no need to sacrifice the princess!"

King Qin's eyes widened: "What are you talking about! King Zhao has the respect of the royal family, and he is worthy of a little girl, how can he say that it is a sacrifice?"

"Qin and Zhao are incompatible, and the princess will be a hostage as soon as she enters the Zhao country! Can she be happy? Once the two countries are not in harmony, what will happen to the princess!"

"Well," King Qin nodded slightly: "There are some risks, but apart from this plan, what other way can stabilize Zhao Guo?"

"Of course there is a way!"

"Oh?" King Qin's eyes lit up: "What is Aiqing's good plan?"

"We can send beautiful women, give jewelry ......"

The corners of King Qin's mouth flashed with a sneer: "Do you think these things can impress King Zhao?"

"Then give him the city for the time being!"

King Qin's eyes immediately widened with anger: "How can this be! Land is the foundation of the country!"

"Just send him for the time being, and then take it back after the minister pacifies the Chu State!"

King Qin sneered: "How can this be taken back if you want to!"

"I am willing to take my life as a guarantee!"

"What is your life! How can a lonely country risk your life so much!"

When he came out of the palace, his subordinates couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Bai Qi - they had never seen this mighty general so depressed!

But I heard Bai Qi say: "Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Bai Qi took his men to Fan Ju's mansion with his fast horses.

Fan Ju immediately greeted him: "I don't know if the general is coming, it's really a long way to go!"

Bai Qi smiled: "The prime minister is polite." ”

"Isn't the general on the front line? When will you return to Xianyang?"

Bai Qi's face turned red: "I miss the prime minister, so I came to visit." ”

Fan Ju smiled and said, "How could the old man make the general miss him?"

"I miss the prime minister, shouldn't I be?"

Fan Ju said "oh": "Then thank you general, general, please come in!"

After the two of them entered the house and made a few noises, Fan Ju asked, "How is the military situation ahead?"

Bai Qi looked confident: "It's not far off to destroy the Chu State!"

Fan Ju's face suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Our army is in danger!"

Bai Qi couldn't help but be surprised: "Why did the prime minister say this?"

"As the ancient saying goes: 'Proud soldiers will be defeated'! How can a general despise Qiang Chu so much...... Reassuring?"

Bai Qi laughed: "Don't I know! But this is not contempt, it is contempt!"

"Oh, this country of Chu is vast, has a large population, has a million soldiers, and is now the largest and strongest among the six countries, how can it be easily despised?"

Bai Qi laughed and said: "The prime minister only knows the surface, but he doesn't know the inside!"

"How don't I know!" Fan Ju sighed lightly: "Fortunately, the king is brave and resolute, so you don't have to worry about it!"

"Oh," Bai Qi's voice trembled slightly, "I don't know which 'worries' you are talking about?"

"Of course, Zhao Guo is behind my army!"

Bai Qi sneered: "What kind of worries is this?"

Fan Ju was shocked: "Zhao Guo has hundreds of thousands of Chen Jing soldiers behind my army, once it attacks, what will I do?"

"Divide half of the army to defend Zhao State. ”

"You said it so easily! Our army will be invincible with all its might, let alone divide our troops to resist it?"

Bai Qi sneered: "Dealing with it with half of its troops is already worthy of it! Besides, our country has an enemy on its back, so it is necessary to divide its troops! Even if it is a friendly country. ”

"But if it's a friendly country, you can use fewer troops. ”

Bai shook his head: "It is indispensable! Between the two countries, how can there be friends or enemies?"

"Either way, it's a lot less stressful. ”

"Then there is a lot more uncertainty!"

Fan Ju said with a smile: "General Bai Qi is worthy of being the world's great general, and he is also good at kung fu!"

"No, I'm just telling you a little bit of the truth!" Bai Qi beckoned, and an attendant came up, holding a shiny silver platter in his hand, covered with a red cloth.

"What do you mean by that?" Fan Ju exclaimed.

Bai Qi smiled, took off the red cloth on the plate, and below was a beautiful square box, and when he opened the lid of the box, there was a night pearl the size of a bird's egg!

"Why are you doing this?" Fan Ju looked surprised.

Bai Qi said with a smile: "This is the income of the former army, and it is dedicated to the prime minister as a sign of respect." ”

"Oh," Fan Ju cried, "absolutely not! Such a precious thing should be dedicated to the king!"

"Of course, the king will naturally have it! But this is the prime minister's. ”

"This can't be done! How can I, Fan Ju, dare to accept such a generous gift from General Baiqi?"

"Bai Qi only asks for one thing!"

"Oh, please!"

"Persuade the king to cancel the marriage contract between Princess Wan'er and King Zhao!"

"Oh!" Fan Ju shook his head: "This can't be done! The princess's marriage is a family affair of the king, how can I and other courtiers interfere?"

"The prime minister's words are wrong, the king's family affairs are state affairs, can the two be separated? As soon as the princess enters the Zhao country, she will be a hostage, if the two countries fight each other, what will happen to the princess? How can the king let go of the jealousy in his heart?"

Fan Ju smiled: "The general is reasonable, but you still don't understand the king's mind." ”

Bai Qi was taken aback: "Oh, what does the king have in mind?"

"The reason why the Great King did this was because he didn't want to engage the Zhao State with all his strength to attack the Chu State. ”

Bai Qi laughed: "If the king really has such a mind, wouldn't he miss a big thing!"

"Oh?" Fan Ju was taken aback: "What does the general mean?"

"At present, the dogs and teeth of various countries are intertwined, how can they not fight with anyone without engaging in arms?
