Zheng Zhu was confused.

Follow Fan Ju towards Xianyang, the closer you get to Xianyang, the more cold the attitude of the Qin people is, when they are in the party, every time they go to a place, the local Qin officials will come to see themselves, and then after that, the Qin officials will be a little ignorant of themselves, and now, some people have even begun to point at his nose and scold, telling him to go back to Zhao State. Probably because it is becoming more and more remote, the barbaric nature of the Qin people will gradually be exposed, Zheng Zhu comforted himself so much.

Fortunately, Fan Ju's attitude towards himself has not changed, which is the only reason why Zheng Zhu can feel at ease.

Before the car reached Hangu Pass, the few Qin warriors who were leading the way in front refused to go any further, and Zheng Zhu was once again forced to stop and rest with everyone. And this time, Zheng Zhu couldn't bear it anymore, and was going to question Fan Ju directly, when he rushed to the courtyard where Fan Ju was, not only Fan Ju, but Meng Wu was also on the side, but unfortunately, he didn't have the kindness he had on weekdays, and was staring at Fan Ju coldly.

"Uncle Fan, I came here on the orders of my lord, and you also agreed to our peace request, why are you unwilling to go any further at this time?" , Even if Zheng Zhu was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to be angry directly, he could only ask helplessly, Fan Ju hadn't replied yet, but Meng Wu on the side said: "Still discussing peace?" Please go back and prepare for war!! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What does General Mengwu mean by this?" He looked at Fan Ju again, Fan Ju looked at him, his face was also a little complicated, and he said: "He is right, I am afraid that the matter of peace negotiation cannot be continued." ”

At that moment, Zheng Zhu was masterless, and he couldn't help but tremble, he hurriedly stepped forward, held Fan Ju's hand, and begged: "Uncle Fan, when I came to Qin State, you entertained me very well, I treat you as a friend, how can you not keep your word?" ”

Meng Wu was about to reprimand him, but Fan Ju glared at him and said, "You wait outside the door, you are not allowed to come in without my order." Meng Wu took the order and walked out of the room, Fan Ju looked at Zheng Zhu at this time, and said helplessly: "You can't blame me for this, originally the king agreed to Zhao Guo's request for peace and was ready to see you, but Zhao Guo was not benevolent, Zhao Guo found Qin State to negotiate peace, but he still had to send people to Wei State and Chu State for help." ”

"The king thinks that Zhao's peace negotiation is to delay time, and the purpose is to wait for reinforcements to come and counterattack Qin, so he is angry and unwilling to meet with you, and he wants Wang Yu to continue to attack." Fan Ju said, shook his head, and asked again: "You said it yourself, is there such a thing?" ”

Zheng Zhu begged: "Please listen to my explanation, Zhao is not the opponent of Qin, we are afraid that the peace negotiation will not succeed, so we sent people to various places to ask for help, please help me, take me to see the King of Qin, I am willing to explain to the king in person, Zhao has absolutely no idea of attacking Qin, please believe me, I can guarantee with my life!" ”

Fan Ju said angrily: "I also respect you so much for the sake of peace, and I came to greet you in person, but Zhao Guo's behavior is not treacherous?" Now that the king has decreed, how can I, as a minister, refute it? How much more will the generals who are fighting at war obey my commands and disobey the king's commands? ”

"I... This...", Zheng Zhu looked at Fan Ju sluggishly, but he couldn't speak anymore.

"Well, well, I will intercede with the king for you, and please rest here for a few days." , Fan Ju said, waved his hand, and a warrior took Zheng Zhu back to his own courtyard, Meng Wu walked in, and said with a smile: "That guy is still thanking you for your kindness on the road, hahaha, the clever plan of the Hou is to cut off all the foreign aid of Zhao State, and even let Zhao State bear the notoriety of treachery." ”

As he spoke, his face became solemn, he looked at Fan Ju and bowed deeply, "I used to be disrespectful to Ying Hou, all because I didn't know Ying Hou's talent, and today I know the reason why Ying Hou is favored by the king, and I ask Ying Hou to cure my past crimes." ”

Fan Ju's face was also a lot kinder, and he helped Meng Wu up and said, "General, don't say that, we are all the king's courtiers, and we should serve the Qin State together." ”

Meng Wu raised his head at this time, and looked at Fan Ju with a little more respect in his eyes, and Meng Wu asked again, "What are we going to do with Zheng Zhu?" ”

Fan Ju smiled and said: "Everything, you have to do the best, now I personally rushed to the party, if it is just to cut off Zhao Guo's foreign aid, then this is a thing that outweighs the loss, I still need greater results, please find me gold silk, the more the better, I will be of great use tomorrow." This time, Meng Wu didn't question it again, and didn't even ask him what the use of asking for these things was, and went to do it after receiving the order.

Zheng Zhu was desperate.

He was pale, he hadn't eaten all day, and the next day, Fan Ju finally walked in.

"Uncle Fan?" , Zheng Zhu stood up instantly, with a trace of expectation on his face, and hurriedly walked in front of Fan Ju, Fan Ju looked at the old man in front of him, but overnight, Zheng Zhu seemed to be old, without any energy, and his face was no longer ruddy, he asked: "Please Uncle Fan, how is it?" ”

Fan Ju sighed and took Zheng Zhu outside, outside, I don't know when, it was full of coins, and there were a lot of cloths, and there was almost no place to stay, Zheng Zhu looked at these wealth, and didn't know what to say for a while, Fan Ju took his hand and said sadly: "Because of the matter of peace, the king no longer trusts me, and he wants to remove my phase." ”

"I'm ashamed that I couldn't help you, but there's one thing I have to tell you."

Zheng Zhu was completely desperate, Fan Ju shook his shoulder, let Zheng Zhu look at him, and then cried: "I want to ask you for one thing, the war between Qin and Zhao seems to be inevitable. ”

"The Qin people are not afraid of Lian Po, but they are only afraid of Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun! That Zhao Kuo once wrote a Ten Strategies for Cutting Qin, and every sentence directly hit the key point of my Qin people! Fan Ju said fearfully: "You are my friend, I will not kill you, I am willing to give you all this money, I ask you to belittle Zhao Kuo in front of King Zhao, and don't let Zhao Kuo serve as the general of Zhao State!" ”

"I'm the same as you, my child is also on the battlefield, I'm scared, after Zhao Kuo becomes a general, I will let my child die on the battlefield, please be sure to help me with this, I give you a thousand gold, please help me watch Zhao Kuo, don't let him be a general!" , Fan Ju said, and bowed to Zheng Zhu again.

Zheng Zhu's eyes lit up hope again, he looked at Fan Ju, his face was a little hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Good." ”

"That's great, I'll leave this matter to you." , Fan Ju cried with joy.

Back indoors, Zheng Zhu called his rider in again, the two sat facing each other, Zheng Zhu looked at him and asked, "Zhen, how long have you followed me?" ”

Zhen looked at Zheng Zhu and said respectfully: "I have followed you since I was sixteen years old, and thirty years have passed. ”

Zheng Zhu nodded, and suddenly bowed to Zheng, this move made Zheng Zhu very panicked, and hurriedly helped Zheng Zhu up, Zheng Zhu raised his head, but he was already in tears, "I was ordered by Shangjun to save Zhao Guo, I also made an oath to Shangjun, I didn't complete my mission, I can't go back to meet Zhao Ren, before I left, I have already instructed my wife to take good care of my eldest grandson and take care of my old mother." I don't have anything to worry about at home. ”

"The only thing I can't rest assured about is Zhao Guo's business."

"I ask you to return to Zhao and bring my words to the Emperor."

Zhen also cried, he nodded his head, and said, "Please say it, I will definitely bring it." ”

"Qin Zhi is afraid, and he is afraid of Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, as the general." , Zheng Zhu said firmly, and said, "Please tell me again." ”

"Qin Zhi is afraid, and Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, is the general's ear, I remember it."

"In this way, I can rest assured, please leave for Zhao State immediately and inform Shangjun of this sentence." Zheng Zhu said goodbye, stood up, and said seriously: "When I have completed my mission, I will follow you." After saying that, he got up and walked out of the room, and the courtyard was full of all kinds of coins, but Zhen didn't look at it, walked out of the courtyard, and began to drive.

Sitting indoors, Zheng Zhu pulled out the saber at his waist, straightened his clothes, and put on his crown, and he finally laughed.

"The one who avenges me, including !!"

When Fan Ju rushed into the room with someone, Zheng Zhu had already fallen in a pool of blood, his gray beard had been stained red with blood, Fan Ju looked at this stubborn old man, and was silent for a long time, and Zheng Zhu's excited face and tears of joy resurfaced in his mind that day.

"Alas.... Do not insult his corpse, but bury him alive. ”

"Don't you send him back to Zhao?"

"He died here because he was ashamed and didn't dare to face the Zhao people, so bury him here."

Zheng Zhu died.
