Gokatsu Mansion.

The former Qi State Prime Minister had a calm face, and looked very calm sitting in his study, drinking with a visitor.

The visitor arched his hand towards Hou Sheng, and said slowly: "Hou Qing, the current situation is very obvious, Gao Wancheng is already in the pocket of General Li Mu, and General Ji Xin has also led a partial division to the north to point at Linzi, and it is only a matter of time before Linzi is broken and Qi is destroyed under the echo of the two. Why should Hou Qing still hesitate to be martyred for the Qi country? ”

It turned out that this was none other than the envoy of Zhao State.

But this envoy of Zhao has a very interesting identity, that is, he is Su Fei, the son of Su Li, the youngest brother of the three brothers of the once famous Su Shi Zongheng family.

Su Li served as an official in the Qi State for many years, and did not die until a few years ago.

And Su Fei also relied on his father's relationship to become a confessor (diplomat) of the Qi State, and was able to go back and forth between Linzi and Handan, as an errand officer for liaison.

Su Li had a close relationship with Hou Sheng when he was alive, and it was because Su Fei visited Hou Sheng's mansion several times this time, but it did not arouse the vigilance of those secret agents under Qi Wang Jian.

After all, there are actually a lot of people in the Qi Kingdom who believe that Hou Sheng can recover, and Su Fei is not the only one, and there are also many people who burn Hou Sheng's cold stove.

Hou Sheng's face was calm, he glanced at Su Fei, and said unhurriedly: "With the current situation, even if I want to do something for King Zhao, it is impossible. Don't you know that the king's eyes are now all over my mansion, waiting to catch my flaws? ”

Su Fei said with a smile: "It's okay, if I guess, the king should be able to reactivate Houqing in the near future." ”

Hou Sheng snorted and didn't speak.

In fact, Hou Sheng himself thinks the same way.

has been a courtier for decades, Hou Sheng actually knows Qi Wangjian very well, and can even be said to be the person who knows Qi Wangjian the best in the world.

In fact, there are no outstanding talents in the political arena of Qi State, which has been suppressed by Hou Sheng for so many years, and most of them are some submissive waste.

Therefore, according to Hou Sheng's understanding of Qi Wang Jian, since Qi Wang Jian has encountered a problem now, then he will most likely find Hou Sheng to find a way.

But the problem is that Housheng isn't really sure about that right now.

Because when he was deposed before, Hou Sheng suddenly found that in fact, he didn't seem to really know his own king, otherwise he wouldn't have used all kinds of means, but he still couldn't save Qi Wangjian's mind and prevent Zhou Fen from ascending to the throne.

What's more, now that Zhou Fen has become the new prime minister of Qi State, and he is the commander of the whole army, it will be extremely difficult to pull Zhou Fen off the horse.

This incident made Hou Sheng begin to doubt his understanding of Qi Wang Jian, and it also made him less confident than before.

Seeing this, Su Fei smiled and said: "Hou Qing is too worried, I dare to guarantee that in the next three or two days at most, the envoy of the King of Qi will definitely come to Hou Qing." ”

"Oh?" Hou Sheng's brows raised slightly, and he looked at Su Fei in front of him with some curiosity: "You seem to be very sure." ”

"That's nature." Su Fei said: "Hou Qing has been closed in the mansion for a while, so he must not know the situation outside. In fact, the people's hearts are floating in the entire Linzi now, and many people have begun to plan to flee out of the city. ”

"How can such a thing happen?" Hou Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.

If this kind of thing can happen, then it shows one point - the people of Qi themselves do not believe that Qi can hold Linzi City under the troops of Zhao State, otherwise there would be no need to escape.

Su Fei said with a smile: "Houqing only needs to send people to observe at various city gates in Linzi for a day, in fact, not only ordinary people, but even many doctors have secretly sent their families to Donglai, just to be able to make a comeback when something is wrong." ”

"Comeback?" Hou Sheng snorted and said, "It's not easy to talk about!" This Zhao State is not Yan State, the reason why Daqi was able to recover the land from Yan State back then was because of the support of other princes, such as only four of the princes are left today, and the whip of Qin State is beyond the internal strife of Chu State, who can save Daqi? ”

Su Fei praised: "What Hou Qing said is extremely true, but there are always some people who will not be able to recognize the situation clearly until the last moment." But then again, Houqing's second son and youngest son seem to have rarely appeared these days. ”

As soon as Su Fei's words came out, Hou Sheng's face turned slightly red.

Don't look at Hou Sheng's impassioned words, in fact, among his three sons-in-law, except for the eldest son, who still plays a calming role in the mansion, the other two sons were also sent by Hou Sheng to Donglai, that is, the easternmost area of the Shandong Peninsula.

Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter.

Su Fei looked at Hou Sheng and said very seriously: "Hou Qing, you have been saddle up for the king all these years, not to mention merit, there is always some hard work, right?" But the king did not think about these things at all, and directly deposed you. Could it be that it has come to this time, and you still have to align the country and have illusions about the king? ”

After a pause, Su Fei continued: "Houqing, if you find a way to give some credit to Zhao Guoguo at this moment, then it will be a sure thing to be crowned a monarch in the future. Otherwise, when Linzi City is broken, Houqing's family will be captives, and they will be at will. ”

"Needless to say." Hou Sheng interrupted Su Fei's words and said in a deep voice: "I have no illusions about King Qi for a long time, but you have also seen it, in this current situation, my every move is under the supervision of King Qi, how can I dare to do something?" ”

Hou Sheng is also telling the truth, although it is said that it is a better choice to take refuge in Zhao Guo in the long run, but now if Qi Wangjian finds out that Hou Sheng has this intention, then Hou Sheng will immediately be beheaded by the whole family.

Hou Sheng stared at Su Fei in front of him with blazing eyes: "For the sake of my family's life, I can't take risks at this time, understand?" ”

Su Fei was silent for a while, and then spoke: "In this way, if the King of Qi lifts his guard against Hou Qing, then Hou Qing will take action?" ”

Hou Sheng nodded and said in a very affirmative tone: "That's right! ”

Su Fei laughed, took out a secret letter from his arms, and put it in front of Hou Sheng: "This is a letter written by King Zhao to Hou Qing, Hou Qing might as well take a look." ”

Hou Sheng took the letter, opened the fire paint, and read it carefully.

A moment later, Hou Sheng finished reading the letter and was about to look up to say something, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

"Someone from the palace said that he wanted to summon the head of the family into the palace!"
