"When Xiao Zishuo was in my Suibei City, I met him several times.

I see that this son is elegant, intelligent, and knowledgeable, and does not look like such a murderer, why did he suddenly become what he is now? ”

On the way to the march, Zhao Zhihai, who was quite unable to figure out this section, finally opened his mouth and asked Gu Daoyuan.

Gu Daoyuan only smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Zhao Zhihai already knew about the things before and after Xiao Zishuo's ascension.

Even Xiao Jin, a person like Xiao Jin who has made great contributions to Xiao Zishuo's ascension, can catch and kill when he says he will be caught, not to mention the people of Chu who almost killed him.

How could Xiao Zishuo be merciful to them.

"The middle and older people, know the people and the face, but don't know the heart."

Zhao Zhihai heard Gu Daoyuan's sigh with a wry smile, so he nodded and stopped talking with a calm face, how could he not experience such an exclamation.

This time, in addition to participating in the succession ceremony of the new monarch, Zhao Zhihai's fundamental purpose is actually for what his daughter wants. Because the letter that Zhao Qing'er wrote to him made him smell a smell of danger, when he took the letter from Gu Daoyuan's hand that day, he immediately had a feeling of fear from his heart.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if Xiao Jin had never helped Xiao Zishuo, but Xiao Zishuo knew Xiao Jin's relationship with him after all, but he still dared to arrest Xiao Jin, what kind of face this wolf-hearted person would face him.

What's more, her daughter is still in danger in Qi Kingdom, so how can she not help her.

"Xiao Zishuo, don't say that you are just a prince, what can you do if you are Qi Jun.

If it weren't for me, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to go back from Qin alive. ”

……

After walking for more than 20 days, Zhao Zhihai and his entourage finally arrived in Gyeonggi Tokyo, Qi State.

Because Gu Daoyuan, Fang Hengxin and others marched with an army of 30,000 a month ago, it was not as convenient as Zhao Zhihai and his entourage, and naturally they did not need to walk for more than a month.

Moreover, when Zhao Zhihai passed through various counties all the way, it was inevitable to meet and socialize, so if it was just a journey, I am afraid that it would be enough to reach it from Xijing to Tokyo in 20 days.

Before entering Tokyo, Zhao Zhihai and his entourage were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them, especially Gu Daoyuan, who had only left Tokyo for less than two months.

Gu Daoyuan and the others would not have known that in the past two months, the people of Chu were arrested inside and outside Tokyo, and then the Qi people who harbored the Chu people were arrested, and once these people were caught, they would be executed immediately, so after a toss, the city of Tokyo, with a population of 400,000, became a terrifying hell.

Those who were able to escape had already left Tokyo with their families, while most of those who could not have to stay in their homes every day.

Therefore, it is not so strange for Zhao Zhihai and his entourage to see the dead silence of Tokyo City.

As soon as he entered Tokyo, Zhao Zhihai arranged for someone to find Zhao Qing'er's whereabouts, and settled down in the post house.

The ceremony of receiving the Qin delegation was scheduled to be held in the Qinglong Hall the day after Zhao Zhihai and others came to Beijing.

When Zhao Zhihai and his party entered the Qinglong Palace, this was the first time they saw Xiao Zishuo, the prince of Qi State.

To Zhao Zhihai's slight surprise, the mission of Shu was also in the Qinglong Palace, and after some greetings, Zhao Zhihai knew that the original mission of Shu did not all leave Qi after mourning Qi Huaigong, but sent people back to China to prepare for the national ceremony, and Xiangbang Liu Zhize has always stayed in Tokyo City.

Since Xiao Zishuo became the prince, Shu naturally became close to Xiao Zishuo, because Xiao Zishuo's wife was the princess of Shu before she got married, so Xiao Zishuo became the prince, and Shu was convenient

Full support for Qi is coming.

Today, Zhao Zhihai came to Tokyo, and the people of Qi invited them to come to the banquet together.

After Zhao Zhihai and Xiao Zishuo, Xiao Kun and others greeted each other, they sat down, and the banquet officially began.

At today's banquet, in addition to the three or four people of Shu, there are only five or six ministers at home and abroad in Qi, but no matter which one of these few people is a person who stomps his feet enough to shake the world.

Originally, Zhao Zhihai thought that Xiao Zishuo would be a high-flying and domineering villain, and he was ready to fight with Xiao Zishuo, but when the two parties looked at each other and saluted, Xiao Zishuo was quite respectful to Zhao Zhihai, and also took the initiative to mention that Zhao Zhihai invited him to Suibei City in order to protect him from the assassination sent by Mrs. Mi, which made Zhao Zhihai's anger more or less calm.

At the banquet, after a few words of mutual thanks, everyone began to chat.

Because it was less than half a year after the Huai Gong Xu, there was no singing and dancing and no wine at this banquet, except for some melons, fruits and meat to enjoy, everyone could only replace the wine with tea and talk to each other.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Xiao Zishuo, Zhao Zhihai, Liu Zhi and others, Gu Daoyuan subconsciously looked at Xiao Kun, and Xiao Kun seemed to have been waiting for Gu Daoyuan to find him, and at the same time looked at Gu Daoyuan, he shook his head slightly.

Gu Daoyuan's heart was gloomy, although he didn't expect Xiao Kun to be able to rescue Xiao Jin, but when he knew the final result, he was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Of course, Gu Daoyuan also understood that Xiao Kun did his best for this matter.

At the same time, Gu Daoyuan also cast a complicated look at Xiao Zishuo.

With the weakest force, he achieved the final victory, and I have to say that Xiao Zishuo has his ability.

But he is narrow-minded, jealous, conceited, and can ruthlessly attack anyone, including Xiao Jin, who has made great contributions to him and Xiao Kun who supports him, and uses thunderous means to retaliate against the people of Chu.

This is really a person who he can't understand.

"Prince, on behalf of my Great Qin, Zhao once again congratulates the prince on succeeding to the throne of the monarch.

When Zhao came out of Qin, Qin Gong once said that Qi Qin was originally a neighbor and brother by the mountains and rivers.

Therefore, in the future, the suffering of Qi is the astringency of my Qin country, and the disaster of Qi is the difficulty of my Qin country.

By the way, at present, the 200,000 troops of my Great Qin, the left and right, are gathering on the border, ready to help you. ”

Zhao Zhihai picked up the wine bottle in his hand and said to Xiao Zishuo.

And Xiao Zishuo smiled when he heard this, and also picked up the wine bottle in his hand, slowly stood up and said:

"My son once pledged your country, not only did your country not neglect me, but also sent 30,000 troops to send me back to Beijing.

In order to repay the great kindness of the Qin State, the next time Rong Di enters the Kou, my Qi State will send 50,000 horses and 100,000 grains and grass to help the war, and I also ask the greater people to report this matter to the monarch of your country. ”

As soon as Xiao Zishuo's words fell, Zhao Zhihai smiled coldly, raised his hand and drank the green plum fresh water in the wine bottle in one gulp.

Xiao Zishuo naturally understood that this was Zhao Zhihai expressing his dissatisfaction, but he smiled and didn't mind, and drank all the water in the bottle with a raised neck. Just now Zhao Zhihai said that when the 200,000 army Chen soldiers were at the border, there was no hint of threat.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard Zhao Zhihai say to him again: "The prince is really generous, how can the life and death of my 30,000 soldiers in Daqin compare to the 50,000 horses and monthly rations of your country."

Zhao thanked the prince for my monarch. ”

After saying that, he gave Xiao Zishuo a deep salute.

Moreover, before Xiao Zishuo, who was displeased, could speak, Zhao Zhihai asked again:

"Since the prince still remembers that I, the Qin people, have done something for you, then Zhao has another thing to ask for, and I ask the prince to agree."

Xiao Zishuo forcibly endured the anger in his heart when he heard this, and said with a gloomy face: "Please speak." ”

Zhao Zhihai sneered and said, "I heard that the prince ordered to arrest all the Chu people in the territory of the Qi State, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao Zishuo glanced at Zhao Zhihai coldly, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Exactly."

When Zhao Zhihai heard this, he said, "Then what if your country mistakenly arrests my Qin people?" ”

Xiao Zishuo was stunned when he heard this, he subconsciously glanced back at Xiao Kun, and saw that he was also at a loss, so he replied:

"It's impossible, but if we catch the Qin people by mistake, we will definitely give an explanation to your country."

Zhao Zhihai was waiting for this, he smiled coldly and said: "There is no need to explain, if you catch the wrong one, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes in extraordinary times." ”

Xiao Zishuo nodded, thinking that he had indeed deliberately given only a little benefit to Qin Guo this time, originally wanting to give a warning to the people of Qin State, so that they should not think that they would have to make an inch of progress if they helped themselves.

But he didn't expect that this time it was Zhao Zhihai who had saved him, and he was already a little apologetic, so after Zhao Zhihai said that he had arrested the Qin people by mistake, he was ready to let Xiao Kun cooperate with Zhao Zhihai to release him.

But when the words came to his lips, Xiao Zishuo suddenly asked Zhao Zhihai vigilantly.

"Dare to ask who the Qin people who were wrongly arrested by the bigger people and where they are being held at the moment, I can also send someone to release them."

Zhao Zhihai originally didn't intend to hide it, but when he heard Xiao Zishuo ask this, he said aloud: "This person is Mr. Xiao, who has saved the prince from danger several times, and said alone that the 70,000 troops under General Lian Min of the Hedong Army of your country came to surrender.

He was also a member of the Edo shogunate, the general of Kawasai, Xiao Hibi. ”

As soon as the words fell, before Xiao Zishuo could react, he only heard a buzzing voice in the Blue Dragon Hall for a while.

Most people have only heard of Mr. Xiao, and they have seen the extraordinary demeanor of him coming on a horse outside Tokyo that day, but they don't know who Mr. Xiao is, let alone that this famous Mr. Xiao was actually imprisoned by the prince of Qi.

Moreover, what is even more surprising is that this Mr. Xiao turned out to be a native of Qin, and he was just an official in the shogunate of a general of Qin.

While discussing, everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Zhao and the others.

Seeing that Xiao Zishuo seemed to have been prepared for Zhao Zhihai to mention Xiao Jin, he turned around and sat back unhurriedly, looked at Zhao Zhihai who was still standing, and said with a smile:

"Who should I be, the bigger person in Lao Zhong said it personally, it turned out to be Xiao Jin.

Yes, although he helped me many times and saved my life, he finally took refuge in the state of Chu and wanted to plot against me, so I arrested him.

I also know that Xiao Jin is from the Qin State, but he committed a serious crime in my Qi State, and he is also threatening the Qi State Office, so this person must not be released.

Please also forgive me, if one day my Qi people go to Xijing to assassinate Qin Jun, then your Great Qin wants to kill him, and my Qi people will not pursue it. ”

"Xiao Zishuo, have you thought about it, are you really going to let go of this person?"

Zhao Zhihai didn't seem to hear what Xiao Zishuo said later, but just said it coldly.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the buzzing discussion in the hall stopped instantly.

Because everyone could hear it, Zhao Zhihai's tone carried a hint of threat.
