Tang Mei bowed down and stood outside the bedroom door of Xiangye's mansion, which was as luxurious and spacious as a small palace, surrounded by no attendants, only he, the old eunuch chief deacon, personally served.

His age is really a little older, and after standing like this for a long time, he really has a little sore back and legs.

But he's used to bending his waist in such an arc.

This standard posture has been many years from when the king was still the prince to the current king of Zhao.

But Tang Mei has experience. He didn't just get to where he was by bowing.

That is to be respectful to this arc in the depths of your heart.

Only with such a bend can you not see the top secrets of the palace, which should not be seen, so that the high-ranking nobles like Guo Kaixiangye can look pleasing to the eye.

Tang Mei felt that her understanding was still very profound.

Guo Kaixiangye is really good-looking.

At the age of fourteen, he became Prince Yan's companion, hey, that is really like a powder on his face and peach blossoms in his eyes.

Tang Mei recalled happily in her heart.

The king is really a person who remembers the old days. For more than 20 years now, this grace has endured.

This is not only manifested in the condescending meeting from time to time like this night, but also in giving Guo Xiangye the absolute right to be above 10,000 people.

Guo Xiangye can't be offended. Tang Mei engraved this in her heart twenty years ago.

Even more than ten years ago, when the king sent him to bring four good horses and a pair of staggering bright gold armor to the Great Liang of Wei to meet the old general Lian Po, Tang Meike did not dare to brush off Guo Kai's intentions.

What about eating three bowls of rice and ten catties of meat? Come back and say that you went to the toilet three times after a meal, and dispelled the idea of returning to Zhao after the king's recruitment.

Since Guo Xiangye said that this is a personal matter with General Lian and the state affairs are not his business, then we don't know what to do?

Actually, what's so bad about that?

'The general will inevitably die in battle. "General Lian should actually be grateful to us for giving him a dead end."

Tang Mei thought about it, and couldn't help but straighten up a little.

He listened to the movement inside, and silently lowered his eyes and thought, I am afraid that this night will be a long, long time.

Feng Luotang and Shao Yi met Lin Yu, who had just met, and the name written on the palm of their left hand at night was Li Luotang.

Last time, Captain Li followed General Liu Rong into the valley, but I don't know how many days have passed in the time and space of Zhao State, and what has happened.

"Young Master, is that you?" Feng Luotang asked in a low voice.

"I'm here!" Shao Yi replied in a low voice.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu! Are you there? Feng Luotang shouted again.

"Yes, I'm here." Lin Yu crept over from the shadows.

The three of them gathered together and remembered to look around. It didn't matter if they looked at it, they didn't expect to be standing on top of a roof tile.

In the darkness of the night, they saw a figure lying silently on the roof.

Could that be Li Luotang?

"What's this fun for?" Feng Luotang was surprised and said, "Can anyone tell me where this is?" ”

Lin Yu looked up, carefully identifying the starlight that leaked through the intervals of the clouds in the night.

"It's almost nighttime now." He looked around carefully, and then said, "Look at these large palaces, they are definitely different from ordinary people's homes, could they be royal palaces?" ”

"That's right." Shao Yi said with certainty: "It should be Li Xiang Palace." King Zhao's bedroom. The two of us have been here. ”

"I remembered that it was the first time I saw Gongzi Jia in heavy rain. So the person in front of him is particularly suspicious, could it be an assassin? ”

The three of them lowered their bodies and looked carefully at the dark shadow again.

At this moment, the moonlight flashed through the gap in the thick clouds, and suddenly reflected a little on the man.

The figure of the man was faintly revealed, and it turned out to be a very petite woman.

The three of them approached quietly and quietly, Feng Luotang identified it again, and found that the person was not Li Luotang, who else could there be!

"Is this sister going to be a snitch?" Feng Luotang said in surprise.

Li Luotang was concentrating on pressing her face to the roof, she had no idea that there would be other people on this roof.

She had lifted a tile through a gap. The light from the room shone out and shone on her face, which was very close to her.

"What is she peeking at?" Feng Luotang asked Shao Yi: "How do you have to get some medicine to make her sleep." I'll take it away with a dream spell, so take a good look. ”

"Is this still medicated?" Lin Yu next to him said: "Let her fall asleep, it's a matter of minutes." Leave it to me. ”

After speaking, he took out a talisman from his waist, recited three or two sentences, and said "Urgent as a law" and gently patted the talisman paper towards Li Luotang.

Li Luotang's body softened, and then he opened his eyes again and said, "Okay, Brother Yu!" Lisso! "This is obviously Feng Luotang.

Then she said a little excitedly: "Li Luotang is not as gossip as me." I'm afraid what she's going to see must be super important. Come here! Let's take a look! ”

Shao Yi slowly lifted the tile outward, and the three heads were gathered together to look indoors.

It doesn't matter what it looks like, but it makes the three of them blush and feel dry.

I saw that the candles in the house were bright, warm as spring.

The queen of Zhao, who Shao Yi commented that "the chicken flavor is fresh and fragrant", was only wearing a red blouse, hanging down to the ground, and wearing a white middle coat that outlined the curves exquisitely and clearly.

Queen Chang had peach cheeks in her eyes, and was standing in the middle of the room at the moment looking at the person opposite.

Standing across from her was a handsome man of about forty years of age.

The man had a handsome face, but his tall nose was slightly hooked. He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a luxurious home robe with a concave back collar and an intersecting placket, and stood there looking at Queen Chang with a smile.

Queen Chang was charming but pretended to be reserved and said: "What is the important thing about Spring Peace Waiting for such a late night?" ”

"The most important thing is self. Queen, how can the king be willing to leave you here alone? "The man who is called Chun Pinghou has a light and thin voice.

"Yi'an was defeated. Jun Shang was worried day and night and couldn't sleep. said that he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss countermeasures with Guo Xiangye. I don't think I'll be back tonight. Queen Chang said quietly, her words were not hot, but she was getting closer to Chunping.

Chun Pinghou also took a step closer and said, "I am also worried about this matter, and I want to discuss it with you overnight. Since the queen is the only one present, I have something more important to do. ”

His voice was low and magnetic: "I'm here to bribe the queen." ”

"Huh?" Queen Chang seemed to hear something incredible and said, "What else have I not seen?" I don't know what kind of bribe I can get my hands on. ”

Chun Pingjun took two steps forward and opened his arms and said, "I have one thing that I think I can handle." Would the queen like to take a look? ”

Queen Chang smiled. She walked to the position where Chun Pinghou was almost pasted in front of her, and tapped Chun Pinghou's placket with her fingers and said:

"It's a valuable gift. Let me see if I can bribe my heart. ”

Chunping waited for a hug, the beauty was in his arms, and said softly: "That's naturally okay." ”

The three of them didn't dare to breathe when they saw the atmosphere on the roof, and they directly held back three big red faces.

Fortunately, no one could see anyone's embarrassment in the night.

They were hesitating to continue watching the passion play that was inappropriate for children, when they suddenly heard a noise outside the main hall.

Li Luotang's martial arts, especially light skills, are very good. With a few flicks, she leaped from the ridge of the roof to the front entrance of the dormitory.

Shao Yi and Lin Yu quickly caught up with her, and saw the two of them hurrying in the distance.

It was Gongzi Jia who walked in front. He wore a simple white formal robe, the corners of which were fluttering with his rapid pace. Shao Yizhi trotted behind.

"Yi Zhi, it's been two days since the battle report came in. Why hasn't the king given any orders yet?! ”

His tone didn't really look like talking to Shao Yizhi, "I sat down all night, I really can't wait!" ”

He said this as if talking to himself, with anxiety and even a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Childe, it's late at night. It was not appropriate for us to go to the Palace of Le Champ. The son pressed for a while, and came back tomorrow morning to meet the king. Shao Yiyi persuaded while following.

"Can't wait any longer. If no one quickly stops the Qin army and allows the Qin army to penetrate deep into the hinterland, we will have no chance in the future. Gongzijia said in a resolute tone.

"But ......" Shao Yizhi wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Gongzijia.

"You just keep up. Anyway, I'm going to see you tonight! "Gongzi Jiayue hastened his pace, and he was already approaching the Lixiang Palace, which was surrounded by guards and palace people.

Feng Luotang and the three of them became anxious all of a sudden. If Gongzi Jia is allowed to enter Li Xiang Palace and ruin the good deeds of Queen Chang, I am afraid that death will be inevitable.

What to do? How can you stop him? The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they had already passed through the outer gate of the Li Xiang Palace, and they were getting closer and closer to the gate of the dormitory.

"Stop him, you have to stop him! It's going to die! Feng Luotang said anxiously: "Brother Yu, hurry!" Just that Shao Yizhi beside him! ”

Lin Yu comprehended, and shot a talisman towards Shao Yizhi from afar.

Seeing Shao Yi's figure flicker, his eyes instantly changed to Shao Yi's unique expression.

Shao Yi grabbed the hem of Gongzijia's shirt and said anxiously: "Childe listen to me, you must not go in now!" ”

"Why? The quick messenger reported...... "Gongzi Jia has already strode into the outer door.

Lin Yu also punched out a rune paper at him, but the strange thing was that the rune paper had no effect at all.

"Slow!" Feng Luotang appeared from behind the stone wall where he was hiding not far away, "Turn around." I have something important to say! ”

Gongzijia obviously didn't expect to meet Li Luotang here, and asked in surprise: "When did you come?" What happened to Yi'an? ”

Feng Luotang took a few steps forward, didn't forget to salute Gongzijia, and then said in a low voice: "Don't force your way into Lixiang Palace at this moment." It is also inconvenient to speak here. Please leave quickly and find a safe place, I have the latest battle report to report. ”

Gongzijia barely hesitated for a moment, and immediately turned around and said, "Yi Zhi, go back to the palace with me." ”

On the second day, it was a sunny day.

When Guo Xiangye opened his eyes, it was almost noon. King Zhao had obviously returned to the palace.

He turned over slightly and sat up, rubbed his sore waist, and was just about to call someone to serve him, when someone reported that Gongzi Jia had come to visit, and he had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Guo Kai didn't dare to slack off. Although it is said that the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, Gongzi Jiana is the former prince and the son of King Zhao after all.

He quickly dressed up and greeted the front hall with a spring breeze.

Gongzi Jiajin robe, dressed gracefully and noblely, very solemn.

He is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, although his eyebrows and eyes do not show a mature temperament, but he is gentle and elegant, long and beautiful, and he is also one of the three gentlemen of Zhao who is widely praised by Zhao people.

If you only talk about appearance, the first one is Guo Kai; only talks about life experience, the first one is Chun Pinghou; If it is said that it is about having both appearance and family background, this first one is of course the son of a humble gentleman.

Childe Jia has been waiting for a long time.

Last night, I talked with Li Luotang and Shao Yizhi, as well as Gongsun Zhi, whose tone was very different from his usual sharpness, and came to the conclusion that it was far better to go to Guo Kai to throw stones and ask for directions than to directly force the monarch to respond.

Gongzi Jia vaguely knew that Guo Xiang had no connection with his father, so when Li Luotang said that he would bribe Guo Kai, he simply scoffed.

However, Li Xiaowei said, "What wants to impress Guo Kai is not what you bribe, but your heart to bribe."

This eventually convinced him.

Seeing that Guo Kai rushed to the main hall with a confession, Gongzi Jia also hurriedly got up, saluted and asked, "Guo Xiang has always been good?" ”

Guo Kai returned the salute very elegantly and said, "Cheng Gongzi asked, everything is fine." Childe is invited to sit down and talk. He also ordered someone to offer the best fresh tea before Ming this year, carefully crushed it and boiled it for Gongzijia to taste one or two.

"Xiangye, I came to visit today, I really don't hide it, I just got a treasure and asked Guo Xiang to taste it and accept it." Gongzijia said straight to the point, holding a brocade box he brought with him with both hands, and carefully placed it in front of Guo Kai.

Guo Xingxing wondered, and thought very curiously: "What is this waste prince thinking about?" Over the years, I have never been given a gift, and even a handful of them have even entered my door. Why do you remember that you have something good for me today? ”

He touched the brocade box with an unusually cherished appearance, first offered a series of words of thanks, and then took the brocade box with both hands very respectfully and opened it gently.

I saw that there was a big piece of dragon birthday incense in the brocade box. This dragon birthday incense comes from the fairyland of the sea, and few people have seen it, but Guo Kai has this insight. He knew that such a piece bigger than a slap would be priceless.

He made a slightly exaggerated "yo" sound, and praised "rare, rare!" ”

Then, Guo Kai deliberately looked at Gongzi Jia with a puzzled expression.

Gongzijia didn't go around in circles, and said sincerely and directly: "Guo Xiang is the most trusted person in the king. Now, the Zhao army had just suffered a defeat in Yi'an, and immediately transferred nearby troops to resist the Qin army. Xiangye should also understand that this is only a temporary solution. If you want to turn this battle back, I'm afraid ......"

Gongzijia pondered for a moment, and what Li Luotang said to him came to mind: "A good general uses soldiers, and it is better for a while; A good commander can use soldiers to protect the first generation", and said frankly: "I want to ask the prime minister to make a statement to the king, and urgently transfer Li Mu back to the dynasty to resist Qin." ”

"Oh? Far water does not quench the thirst of the near. How can Li Mu solve the problem? Or what if he leaves the northern border, what if the Huns come to attack? ”

"The northern border has been rich in water and grass in recent years. The Xiongnu had been defeated by General Li a few years earlier and had not recovered.

What's more, General Li has been operating on our northern border for several years, and now he is strong and strong, and his army is abundant.

Urgently transfer General Li Mu and part of the army to join forces with our Central Plains army to resist the strong Qin, and we can win back a victory. ”

Guo Kai did not speak.

He stared at the piece of dragon incense with a pair of phoenix eyes, but his mind was like the wind.

He's not a fool. He knew that the only people who were confronting the Qin army were a few unknown young generals and two or three veteran generals who had retired and were urgently recruited back to the army.

If they resist a fashion and can. But if the Qin soldiers increase their troops in a big way, or make up their minds to take Handan, I am afraid that the outcome of this battle will be controlled in the hands of the Qin people.

Guo Kai understood that Li Mu was the best candidate to preside over the anti-Qin resistance.

Last night, the monarch and ministers talked at night, and King Zhao did mention a sentence to transfer Li Mu back to the court. I am afraid that in the hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, this matter is also imperative.

What Gongzijia sent was just a favor.

But after all, it is a personal favor, but I didn't expect this son Jia not to be the prince, but he is much more sensible than when he was the prince.

Guo Kai was very happy.

He immediately put on a smile on his face, his eyebrows were picturesque, and he said with a radiant expression: "Why is it that the bride has not yet entered, and the son is standing on the side of the father-in-law?" ”

Guo Kai said a joke, and then said with a straight face: "But what Gongzi said is exactly what I want." Childe, please rest assured. I went into the palace to ask for the king's order, and urgently transferred General Li Mu to the south to fight against Qin. The stakes are high, and I will do my best. ”

When Gongzi Jia heard this, he knew that what he had been worried about was finally a foregone conclusion. The smile on his face added a little brighter.
