Fifty-four years of King Qin, ten years of King Chu, twelve years of King Zhao, twenty years of King Han, twenty-three years of King Wei, eleventh year of King Qi, King of Yan... In the second year, the king of Yan who had just succeeded to the throne died of illness less than three years after succeeding to the throne, and in the three years of his succession, in addition to sending troops to respond to Zhou Tianzi, the rest of what he did was to build the Great Wall, and he continued to build the Great Wall on the border of Yan to shelter the people on the border of Yan.

During the period of his succession, Yan finally completed the construction of the Great Wall, blocking the enemies outside the Great Wall, of course, the people may not appreciate it too much, after all, this is also a heavy servitude, and even died a lot of Yan people, Yan Wang's body was not very good, and because of the death of his father and very painful, just reigned for three years, he left this world in a hurry, his son Xi, became the new king of Yan Kingdom. Yan Wangxi has the same hobby as his grandfather, and he also likes hunting.

However, for this throne, he did not have any resistance, after he succeeded to the throne, he took Jiangqu as the phase and the drama as the general, deliberately changed the tired posture of the Yan State, and suggested that the Yan King recuperate, reduce taxes and servitude, and absorb the Hu people outside the Saiwai, distribute them with arable land, increase the household registration of the Yan State, and stabilize the newly obtained Liaodong land of the Yan State. However, Ju Xing proposed to raise more horses in Yan Kingdom, reward and encourage craftsmen who make weapons, and prepare ordnance.

Yan Wangxi followed their advice and began to implement their plan. Jiang Qu also proposed to send people to Zhao to improve the relationship between the two countries, so that the merchants of Yan could trade with Zhao people with special products in exchange for grain, etc., and proposed to send students to Mafu to study with Zhao Kuo. Yan Wangxi agreed to him again, and Jiangqu did not appoint anyone else, and rushed to Zhao State in person to meet King Zhao.

After Pingyangjun returned to his fiefdom, he was surprised to find that his fiefdom was flooded... Yes, his food town also suffered from flooding, and before he came back, Zhao Bao was completely unaware of this matter, and when he heard that Zhao Kuo was leading people to build a canal, he also sent a samurai to respond to Ma Fujun's call to help build the canal, and also gave a lot of tools, food, and stones.

He also wrote to his friends, asking them to help Zhao Kuo as well.

Zhao Kuo is very grateful for his help, under the proposal of Pingyang Jun, the canal of Zhao State is also gradually taking shape, Zheng Guo is indeed a genius, the channel he dug in Zhao State is to calculate how to reduce the pressure caused by the flooding of the river, and how to benefit the people, can form fertile soil, but unfortunately he is too stubborn, unwilling to change his original plan, just temporarily dug a few channels that do not cost a lot, and the rest did not dig, he did not give up.

Pingyang-jun stayed in his courtyard all day long, never going out, and even if a guest came to visit, he would not go to see him. When he was reading aloud in the courtyard, a samurai suddenly broke in, Pingyangjun hated being disturbed, but he didn't get angry with the samurai, slowly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and looked at the samurai. The samurai appear to have arrived from far away.

And his own guests did not stop him, it seems that he was sent by the king, only the king's decree, so that his guests dare not stop him.

Zhao Baohu asked suspiciously, "What happened in Handan?" ”

The warrior was stunned, he didn't expect that Zhao Bao could see his origin at a glance, but he didn't ask Zhao Bao how he knew, he hurriedly leaned over to meet him, and then said: "Shangjun, please return to Handan, you can't let others know your whereabouts." Zhao Bao asked with some displeasure: "I didn't ask Shangjun's order, let me ask you, what happened in Handan?" ”

"Chang'anjun is dead."

The warrior saw Zhao Bao tremble all over, then he looked at himself blankly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Chang'anjun is dead."

"He... He...", Zhao Bao breathed deeply, helpless, and after a long time, he raised his head and asked a little gloomily: "How did he die?" The warrior said seriously: "It's Ma Fujun, Ma Fujun thinks that Chang'anjun is guilty, and will rush into Handan and kill Chang'anjun, Shangjun desperately tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him, he also intimidated Shangjun and asked Wei Wuji to give up the phase to himself." ”

"What? How is this possible? This...", Zhao Bao's eyes widened, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Okay, when it is evening, we will set off and rush to Handan... I'll pick a few trusted guests to follow me, didn't Zhao Bu help Shangjun? ”

"Shangjun once looked for him, but he didn't make a move, and he didn't stop Ma Fujun's behavior."

Zhao Bao took another deep breath, this day, he heard too many things, which made him a little unbearable, he just sat in a daze, tears fell, and he didn't care about the warrior sitting in front of him, he covered his face and cried, "Yue...", he called softly, and the warrior didn't bother him, just stood aside and lowered his head. Pingyang-kun wiped his tears, and then said to the samurai, "Please let all the people in the courtyard come in." ”

Pingyang Jun's disciples walked in, there were only six people, but these people were the most trusted people of Pingyang Jun, they stood in front of Pingyang Jun, looked at him calmly, and then Pingyang Jun opened his mouth and said to them: "Second and third sons, Chang'an Jun was killed... I want to avenge him, ask the second and third sons to help me. The doormen all said, "Only." ”

Pingyang Jun began to discuss with everyone how to rush to Handan.

At night, a group of carriages left Pingyangjun's mansion, these people were all dressed as merchants, wearing very simple clothes, Pingyangjun hid among these people, disguised as a servant, bowed his head, and followed everyone's side. No one noticed the convoy, and after leaving Binh Duong, the convoy rushed towards Handan, without hurrying or slowing, and drove like this for several days, and finally, the convoy approached Handan.

There were a total of eight people in the convoy, in addition to Pingyangjun, there were also six doormen, and a warrior who came from Handan.

At night, they lit a bonfire and rested on the side of the road, Pingyang Jun sat in front of the bonfire, his face was gloomy and uncertain, still thinking about the things in Handan City, he had long thought that it would be such a day, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would take the initiative to take action, and now the country is Zhao Kuo's henchmen, and it is not a simple matter to defeat him, which can be seen from King Zhao's instructions.

King Zhao let himself rush to Handan in concealment, instead of directly announcing that he was going to Handan, which was obviously afraid of Zhao Kuo's strength, or rather, he was unwilling to attract Zhao Kuo's attention. Zhao Bao was thinking about this, suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Zhao Bao hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from, and the doormen under his command also drew their weapons one after another and looked in that direction.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and soon, some knights appeared in the distance, these people rushed towards the direction of Zhao Leopard, Pingyangjun realized that the comer was not good, when these people pulled out their weapons, the doormen shouted, and met them, and some doormen untied the horse pulling the cart and handed it to Pingyangjun, asking him to flee quickly, Pingyangjun did not hesitate, turned over the horse, and fled quickly.

He heard shouts of murder coming from behind him, as well as the screams and screams of the guests.

Pingyang Jun's heart trembled violently, these knights quickly killed Zhao Bao's doormen, only one doorman and a warrior from Handan, robbed the horses, the two escaped, in different directions, but these people obviously only wanted to take Zhao Bao's life, gave up chasing the two of them, just went to pursue Zhao Bao, Zhao Bao heard the wind in his ears, and he couldn't see the direction clearly at night, just kept running wildly.

"Whoosh~~~", the enemy shot an arrow, but it didn't hit Zhao Bao.

When the knights outflanked from the left and right, blocking Zhao Bao's way, Zhao Bao did not stop, but the knights on both sides quickly approached, the two of them clamped Pingyang Jun from the left and right, quickly stretched out their hands, and dragged Pingyang Jun to the ground, the horse continued to gallop away, but Pingyang Jun fell to the ground, and shouted in pain: "Who are the second and third sons?" If you want goods, I can give them to my second and third sons! ”

"Pingyang-kun, we're not here for the goods."

A knight said with a smile, he lowered his head, looked at Huayang Jun in front of him, and said with a smile: "Are you going to go back secretly?" Ma Fujun had already guessed this, and we were here to kill you. ”

Zhao Bao suddenly calmed down, he squinted his eyes, and said seriously: "Zhao Kuo? No, even if Zhao Kuo has bad intentions, he will not do anything to send someone to assassinate, you are Qin. Do you want to use my death to bring about the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom? ”

The knight was stunned for a moment, and slowly pulled out the short sword at his waist.

"I don't understand, not long after Ma Fujun's incident, how was the Qin State able to make arrangements so quickly?"

"Could it be that there is more than just a spy in the palace?"

Zhao Bao said to himself, watching the knight holding the sword and walking towards him, Zhao Bao sneered and said: "This strategy is really inappropriate, no one saw me killed by Ma Fujun, how can this intensify the conflict?" ”

"Oh? Who says no, two people saw it, and that's enough, right? The knight said with a smile.

"Only the samurai and the doorman know my whereabouts, and my doorman will not betray me... So, that warrior from the palace was also a spy of the Qin State? Zhao Bao quickly figured it out, but he was still very calm, watching the knight raise his short sword high, he cursed: "You will suffer retribution!" "Whoosh~~", suddenly an arrow shot from a distance, and hit the knight accurately.

"There are enemies!"

This naturally caused a commotion, the knights looked around, in such a night, to be able to shoot the enemy with bows and arrows, this is still not easy to do, at this moment, a group of knights appeared from a distance, each of them with bows and arrows, towards the knights attacked, the battle was about to break out, the two sides scuffled together, but, the number of people who came was increasing, the knights realized that something was wrong.

And when they were about to turn around and kill Zhao Bao first, Zhao Bao had already mounted his horse. The knights killed Zhao Bao one after another, regardless of the attacks of those people, they only wanted to kill Zhao Bao, but unfortunately, they had a huge disadvantage in numbers, and in the end they could not achieve their goals, Zhao Bao directly got into those reinforcements and avoided their pursuit.

The knights, unable to complete their orders, had no choice but to flee quickly.

Zhao Bao wiped the blood on his face, panting, and then, he looked at these people who saved him, these people are elite, they look tall and strong, and there is an old man, accompanied by everyone, smiled in front of him, Zhao Bao looked at him in surprise, Zhao Bao knew this person, Jiang Qu, Jiang Qu held an official position in Zhao State a long time ago, and later left Zhao State because of some things and went to Yan State.

How could he be here?

Jiang Qu greeted him with a smile, and then said: "If it weren't for me to send an envoy to Zhao Guo, I just arrived here, and I heard the sound of fighting not far away, I am afraid that Zhao Guo and Yan Guo will go to war because of this...", Jiang Qu was really a little afraid in his heart, the distance between them camping was not far away, but because of the night, they had never met, if he hadn't found out in time, when he left tomorrow morning, he happened to meet the corpse of Zhao Guo Pingyangjun....

How can I say this!! The furious King Zhao was only afraid that he was about to order a crusade against Yan State, Jiang Qu looked at those corpses, the warriors he brought lit the torches, and Jiang Qu said angrily: "These must be Qin people, who want to destroy the relationship between Yan and Zhao!" Zhao Bao squinted his eyes, maybe there is also this possibility, framing Zhao Kuo and Yan Guo at the same time? Isn't Fan Ju already dead?

He thought for a moment before he said, "These people are pretending to be Ma Fujun's people, and they want to frame Ma Fujun... There is a spy on my side, but I'm afraid that he has rushed back to recover his life, and he has to rush back to Handan before causing a misunderstanding! ”

Jiang Qu nodded, did not continue to rest, and directly ordered everyone to set off, he personally welcomed Zhao Bao to his carriage, the two chatted, and rushed towards Handan, but Pingyang Jun had suffered a little too much in the past two days, he was too tired, and he was even a little suspicious of Chang'anjun's death, maybe he didn't die, but the Qin people wanted to get rid of themselves and set such a trap?

Or are these people not Qin, but someone else who wants to get rid of them?

Zhao Bao didn't know the truth of the matter, and after thinking for a long time, he said to Jiang Qu: "Please send a warrior to Handan to report the matter here, I'm really worried that something will happen." Shoqu said: "Please rest assured, I have already sent samurai. Zhao Bao breathed a sigh of relief, continued to lower his head, pondered, and seemed to see something in Jiangqu, but he didn't ask.

He came to Zhao State this time for the sake of Yan State, and he must not participate in any contradictions in Zhao State.

However, if there is any contradiction within the Zhao State, it may become an opportunity for the Yan State....
