Chapter Twenty-Nine: The King and Sun Are in Danger, and the Heroes Come to Help

The king of Yan passed on the country to his subordinates, and the son replaced the king with his ministers, and this reversal of the etiquette system finally caused civil strife in Yan. The power of King Yan was seized by the son, like a puppet.

Shi Zizhi was not supported by the Yan people, and the King of Qi vigorously helped Prince Ping, and Zizhi was even more powerful.

Zizhi's subordinates Lu Maoshou and others are all a group of ministers, and the Su Dynasty of the Zongheng family is just driven by profit, how can they really think about the great plan of Yan Guo? Lu Maoshou and others were afraid that the prince's position would not be conducive to the son, so they entered the words of the son, and first got rid of the sons of King Yan before they could keep the throne.

And the princes of Zhao, Han, Qi and other princes were all angry that Zizhi reversed the king's and ministers' trip, and Zizhi sent envoys to come to make peace, but the three kingdoms did not allow it, and they were unwilling to hand over the proton of Yan. The son is not supported by the countrymen, and the princes are not supported outside, and only the people are suppressed by killing, which increasingly arouses the dissatisfaction and resistance of the Yan people.

When the Qi State was strong and prosperous, the King of Qi wanted to dominate, so he had the intention to win over the Yan State as a vassal, so he helped the prince Ping to lead the army into the Yan State to seize the throne, and sent the general Kuang Zhang to lead the Qi division to be stationed on the territory to observe the success or failure.

The state of Zhao, Korea and Qi were opposed, and there was a strong Qin in the west, so they also wanted to make allies and win over the Yan state. Zhao was the reign of King Zhao Wuling at that time, King Zhao Wuling was the master of the future, he was on the throne at a young age, Hu Hu rode and shot, and vigorously reformed, so that the national strength of Zhao was enhanced, and the army was cheered up, but compared with the great power Qin and Qi, it was still not enough to match.

Although the Zhao State is revitalized, it is also facing internal and external troubles, among which the Zhao State also has the Zhongshan State established by Bai Di, which runs through the Zhao State, the Zhongshan State has a strong military force, and since the founding of the country, it has been the confidant of Zhao, Wei and other countries.

Zhongshan was once destroyed by Wei, and then came and returned to the country, with a strong army, claiming to have 9,000 military vehicles. King Wuling of Zhao was deeply worried, and he had already had the intention of attacking and annexing Zhongshan Kingdom, but the national strength was not enough to eat Zhongshan Kingdom for a while. Seeing this civil strife in Yan, he also had the heart to support the son of King Yan abroad, if he could help him win the throne of King Yan, Yan Guo would be grateful to himself, so as to help him destroy Zhongshan Kingdom.

King Wuling of Zhao heard that the prince of Yan was in Qi and his son was in Han, while Zhao and Han were in opposition to Qi. Now that the king of Qi is helping the prince to peace, then the Zhao State naturally cannot compete with the Qi State. King Wuling of Zhao thought about it for a long time, and then he was ready to help the prince, so he sent a letter to King Han to explain the matter and was willing to make the two countries allies.

South Korea is located in the Central Plains, the country of enemies on all sides, although it is stronger than the Song State, the Wei State, the Zhongshan State and other strength, but among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, it is the last country in the strength ranking, slightly stronger than the Yan State, if you want to survive, you naturally have to lead other countries to help, now the Zhao State threw an olive branch, of course the King of Han agreed, the two countries then formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and unanimously prepared to support the Gongzi as the King of Yan.

In order to support Prince Ping, King Xuan of Qi sent a letter to King Han, ordering King Han to kill his son, thinking that Prince Ping would eliminate his opponent. King Han received the letter from King Qi and refused to kill his son, so he replied to King Qi and said:

Yan Gongzi Ji is in a bad country, and he is not guilty, how can the widow kill him? And he is a concubine, can Ande compete with the prince for the throne? The widow cannot obey the king's order, and I hope that the king will understand.

When the king of Qi saw that the king of Han refused to kill his son, he was very angry and wanted to send troops to attack Han, but Meng Ke advised: "If you want to make people kill the protons of other countries, if people don't kill them, the division will be nameless, and I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous." And Han and Zhao have formed an alliance, if the king defeats Han, Zhao An will not be saved? When the King of Qi heard this, he stopped.

The king of Qi was still worried about the bad things of Gongzi, and when he saw that the king of Han did not obey his own orders, he could not send troops to fight for a while, so he sent assassins to go to Korea to assassinate Gongzi.

Gongzi is in South Korea, although there are several accompanying escorts, but only his henchmen are available. Rumor that the King of Qi sent people to persuade the King of Han to kill himself in order to make friends with the Kingdom of Qi, the King of Han did not obey, and the prince was uneasy, so he went to thank the King of Han, and the King of Han said: "Son, rest assured, live in peace in your country, and the widow will never listen to the instigation of others." In order to make the son's job feel at ease, he sent four palace guards to protect the son's position.

Not long after, the King of Qi sent assassins to Xinzheng, South Korea, to find out where the Gongzizhi Pavilion was located, so he infiltrated the beams of the pavilion and laid an ambush, preparing to assassinate Gongzizhi at night.

When Gongzi went to the court meeting of the King of Han, he was sent back to the pavilion by the guards at night. Gongzi pushed the door into the room, was looking for a seat to sit down and rest, suddenly a thing fell on the beam, Gongzi ordered the person to check, it turned out to be a mouse, the person raised a torch to take care of the roof beam, saw a black shadow faintly hovering on the roof beam, shocked, Gongzi then ordered the guard to enter, the assassin saw that the trace was revealed, so he jumped on the roof, took advantage of the night to escape, in a hurry, dropped a dagger.

Gongzi found that there was an assassin hidden in the house, so he consulted with Baili Bing, who looked at the dagger and said, "This dagger is produced by the Qi country, and the assassin must be a Qi person." ”

Gongzi was surprised: "What can I do if it seems like this? ”

Baili Bing said to Gongzi: "The Qi people came to assassinate, most of them were secretly sent by the King of Qi. Today, the gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, and the son may not be at peace here. ”

Gongzi sighed: "I can't go back to the country, so if I'm not here now, where can I go?" ”

Baili Bing pondered for a long time, and said to Gongzi: "The minister thinks that most of the assassins and others are people from the rivers and lakes, and these people are the most difficult to guard against. Childe is the body of a daughter, if once harmed by the villain, it will be suffocating, and now the son can't leave here, it's really difficult, but the minister has a suggestion, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Gongzi said: "I have lived in South Korea for several years, and I have not been able to feel at ease for a day, and today I am being calculated by others, and it is like sitting on pins and needles. What do you think, and tell me quickly. ”

Baili Bing said: "Gongzi accepted Liangzhou Haojie Xu Xiaofeng and others before, it is a brave and chivalrous person, and now Gongzi is in danger, and he will inevitably lend a helping hand." ”

Gongzi said in a deep voice: "My brother Xu Haojie is in the Han of Chu State, how can I bother him?" ”

Baili Bing said: "Since Gongzi and Xu Haojie are married to Jinlan, and now Gongzi is in danger, as the brother of Gongzi, he will definitely not sit idly by." And Rong Chen inquired about the news and conveyed this situation to Xu Haojie. The righteous brother of the son is a hero of the world, and he must be anxious to help the needy. ”

Gongzi was still hesitating, so Baili Bing knelt down and asked Gongzi to say: "Gongzi is the grandson of King Yan, and life and death are related to the rise and fall of Yan Kingdom. Since the king of Qi secretly made an assassin, if he can't do it once, there must be another one. If the son makes a mistake, the minister will also kill himself and follow the child. However, who can be stable in the Jizong Temple of Yanguo Society? Please make a clear decision, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, and it is the best plan to keep it safe today!"

Gongzi thought about it for a long time, but he had no choice but to listen to Baili Bing and go to inquire about the news of Xiaofeng. Baili Bing learned that Xiaofeng had obtained the Gongbu Sword a year ago, and returned to Hanzhong in Chu State, where he was recuperating and contacting the heroes of the Quartet to wait for the times to change.

Baili Bing was very happy, so he told the son, and the son-in-law was also pleased, so he sent someone to hold a hundred taels of gold and a letter, and went to Hanzhong Shangyong to ask to see Xiaofeng and inform him of the situation.

Xiao Feng heard that the envoy of the prince was coming, and hurriedly invited him in, and the person of Ping held the messenger's hand and asked: "The prince of Yan Guo is my righteous brother, and the son of Yan is living in South Korea, and he must have something important to send the envoy to come." The envoy said, what is the urgency of my brother today? ”

The envoy first offered the gold, Xiaofeng ignored it, as long as the messenger said what happened to the son's position, the messenger said: "The villain doesn't know what's going on, he just came to deliver the letter, the son has a book, bring it to Xu Haojie, presumably the book is clear." ”

Xiao Feng urged: "Let's hurry up and take the book and read it!" ”

The messenger took out a sealed bag and handed it to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng opened the bag, there was a silk book inside, Xiao Feng hurriedly unfolded it, and looked at the silk book:

Brother respect, now the foolish brother's family and country have been changed, the king of Qi ordered the king of Han to kill the foolish brother to eliminate dissidents, fortunately the king of Han did not obey his fate, and the life of the foolish brother was saved. The king of Ranqi sent assassins to kill his foolish brother. The foolish brother is in a dangerous situation, and there is no one to defend himself. The virtuous brother is a hero in the world, and the foolish brother is willing to hear the wise brother's self-defense and danger removal strategy. Foolish brother Ji Zhi bowed down!

After reading the silk book, Xiao Feng was shocked: "The prince of Yan Guo has never been so easy, and now he will not send a book for help." And I and the son of Yan Guo are married to Jin Lan, how can I not save them today? So he immediately wrote a reply letter, an envelope, and handed it to the messenger to bring back, saying that he would immediately go to Korea and try to protect his son.

When the envoy returned, the prince had only settled down a little, so he stayed in the building and did not go out, and ordered the guards to step up their patrols to prevent the Assassins from returning.

Xiaofeng learned that Gongzi was in a dangerous situation, and he was anxious, so he immediately handed over the affairs of Liangzhou to Mo Fei and others, and took Ding Hu with them, and the two rode fast horses, entered South Korea from the way of business, first went to Xinzheng, and saw Zhang Sheng, so that Zhang Sheng spread that he had arrived in Xinzheng and lived among the guest officials.

Three days later, he learned that Xiaofeng had come to Xinzheng, and he was overjoyed, so he and Baili Bingwei clothes, pretending to be a merchant, took advantage of the twilight to leave the museum, and came to the inn to meet Xiaofeng and others.

When Gongzi saw Xiao Feng, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xiao Feng's hand and wept: "Brother Xian's friendship makes the younger brother never forget. The younger brother is in South Korea, in danger, worried day and night, and now he was secretly murdered by the king of Qi by assassins, and there is no way to get out of danger, so he has no choice but to turn to the virtuous brother for help! I didn't want Brother Xian to come so quickly, and when the younger brother saw Brother Xian, his heart became much more stable. ”

Xiao Feng comforted: "Don't worry, brother Xian, although it is difficult for the government to prevent such things, it is what the foolish brother can prevent." The foolish brother has already made a plan here, and he will inevitably ensure that the virtuous brother is not in danger. ”

Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to Xiaofeng: "The younger brother knows that the virtuous brother is a hero in the world and must be trustworthy." If there is a virtuous brother like this, the younger brother can have something to rely on. So Ling Baili Bing took out another hundred taels of gold and thanked Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng excused himself and said: "I have repeatedly accepted the prince's property, but I have not reciprocated any of them, which has made the foolish brother feel uneasy, and he can't accept it anymore." ”

Gongzi said: "Brother Labor has traveled a long way, how can you not thank each other with a little heart? Brother Xian came to the Central Plains, befriended heroes, need to make money, this little gold and silver, should be used by Brother Xian for the younger brother, if you don't accept it, the little brother will not want to go. ”

Xiaofeng wanted to excuse himself, but Baili Bing said: "If Xu Haojie doesn't accept it, he will treat my son-in-law as an outsider." In this way, how can it be said that Jin Lan is a brother? ”

Xiaofeng had no choice but to accept it, so he told Gongzi to prevent assassins. Gongzi was very happy after hearing this, and his heart was very peaceful, so he acted according to Xiaofeng's words. He also said that the expenses required by Xiaofeng were all provided by the son-in-law. I don't know what the strategy is, but I'll know when I break it down next time.
