Hearing this, Mi Xiao nodded without concealing it and said, "Middle-aged people, it is said that it is extremely advantageous for Xiao Zishuo to succeed you in the Qin State.

What our Chu State has been planning for more than ten years has not done, but you have easily done it.

Moreover, Xiao Zishuo did not kill me in front of the two armies but imprisoned me, and he intended to use my head to build momentum for his ascension to the throne, which was definitely a faint move among faint moves.

It is conceivable that after my death, the State of Chu will definitely send heavy troops to avenge me.

In this way, if Qin and Qi join forces, the Shu Kingdom, which has always been at both ends of the snake's head, will naturally fall to you.

Three-quarters of the world joins forces, and the future state of Chu will be extremely passive.

So Mi never understood what Qin Guo's purpose was to save me. ”

Zhao Zhihai only smiled slightly after listening to Mi Xiao's words, and he was not in a hurry to answer Mi Xiao's question, but just lifted the wine jug and filled the wine bottle with Mi Xiao and his own wine bottle.

As if flattered, he picked up the wine bottle, and his eyes showed some doubts.

After drinking the wine in the bottle with Zhao Zhihai, Mi Xiao was a little flustered, and when he wanted to ask a question, he was stopped by Gu Daoyuan on the side with his eyes.

Didn't you even have the calmness of a national order?

Seeing that Qi Xiao was so breathless, Zhao Zhihai sighed in his heart. But it is precisely because of this that the worries that I originally had because of the rescue of the owl also dissipated at the same time.

It seems that Mi Xiao has become a waste, and even if he returns to Chu State, he will no longer be able to make waves.

"Lord Ling Yin, it is not Qin Guo who saves you, but my Zhao Zhihai.

So now there is only one other person who knows about this besides the three of us, and that person will never leak this matter. ”

"Ahh

Mi Xiao looked at Zhao Zhihai, who was playing with the wine bottle in his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim.

He suddenly remembered the fat old man in the carriage, and intuitively told himself that he was the fourth person who knew about it.

"None of the dead soldiers who participated in this rescue nor the women who served you did not know your identity, and I am confident that Lord Ling Yin did not mention your identity to them.

Of course, it doesn't hurt if you say it, but it's just a pity for those people's lives. ”

Zhao Zhihai's gaze always stayed on his wine bottle when he spoke, which made Mi Xiao unable to guess what was going on in his heart.

Sure enough, I heard Mi Xiao immediately say: "Don't worry, Mi didn't mention my identity to anyone, but I don't know why the middle and bigger people saved me?" ”

After listening to Zhao Zhihai's words, he didn't know what use he was for Zhao Zhihai, so he asked again.

He suddenly found that he seemed to have the feeling of just leaving the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den.

Zhao Zhihai seemed to see the doubts of Mi Xiao, he slowly put down the wine bottle in his hand, and said solemnly to Mi Xiao:

"Don't worry about Lord Yin, Zhao just wants to ask Lord Ling Yin about something, if Lord Ling Yin can tell him honestly, Zhao will guarantee that Lord Ling Yin can be sent back to Chu safely, how about it?"

After all, Qi Xiao is a person who has been a venerable person for a long time, and how could he directly agree to Zhao Zhihai's inquiry, but he suddenly understood that Zhao Zhihai must have something extremely difficult to do to help himself, so he will take this risky trick and save himself privately.

After figuring out this section, Mi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Like Zhao Zhihai, he picked up the wine jug on the table and poured a full glass of wine for Zhao Zhihai, and then picked up the wine bottle and said:

"The bigger people saved me this time, and Mi used this water and wine to toast the bigger people and express his gratitude.

Whether he is in public or private, as long as I am here, Chu Guoding will stand on the side of the middle-aged people.

It's just that if I guess correctly, the things that the bigger people want to ask me about must be related to the ups and downs of a country, although Mi Mou does not dare to say that he sees death as home, but he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if he wants to learn from Mi Mou's mouth that it is not conducive to the Chu State, then Mi Mou will not say it even if he is dead. ”

After saying this, Mi Xiao picked up the wine bottle in his hand, and looked at Zhao Zhihai with stunned eyes.

Who knew that Zhao Zhihai was only slightly stunned, but immediately regained his calm.

He picked up the bottle full of wine and drank it all.

"Lord Ling Yin, my purpose in saving you is to save my daughter, you are too worried.

Have you ever heard of Hibiscus? ”

"Xiao Jin?"

He frowned, and was about to shake his head, but suddenly the appearance of a young man appeared in his mind, and he drove a six-horse cart from the sunset to him slowly.

"Mr. Xiao?"

As the three words blurted out by Mi Xiao, Zhao Zhihai immediately nodded lightly at him.

Subsequently, Zhao Zhihai told Mi Xiao the story of an orphan whose father raised his dead brother since he was a child, and regarded it as his own, but she was deceived by a Shu boy to elope, and then became involved in a power struggle in a country and was imprisoned.

As the story was finished, Zhao Zhihai set his eyes back on the wine bottle.

The wine bottle filled with wine by Gu Daoyuan on the side was made of glass, which was crystal clear.

Zhao Zhihai shook the wine bottle, and the wine in the bottle passed through the glass on the wall of the bottle, and the light of the lamp on the desk flashed and flashed, emitting bursts of dazzling waves.

Zhao Zhihai then drank the wine, and then raised his head to look at Mi Xiao again.

"The middle and older people want to know Xiao Zishuo's handle from my mouth, so as to threaten him to hand over Qing'er, yes or no?"

After listening to Mi Xiao's question, Zhao Zhihai's face was expressionless, even though he still had a trace of admiration in his heart for Mi Xiao's ability to guess what he was trying to do, but he only said one word in his mouth:

"Yes!"

Mi Xiao groaned, Zhao Zhihai and Gu Daoyuan just watched him silent, and the three of them were silent like wooden sculptures.

The three of them understood that this was a transaction that was enough to involve the general trend of the world, and in the blink of an eye, it would be the sinking of a country, and it would be an endless conquest between nations.

"Smack"

After being silent for a long time, Mi Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh, and as if he had made great determination, he said to Zhao Zhihai:

"The bigger people, Mi can tell the bigger people something.

But I might as well say bluntly that if this plan is feasible, then it will be fine, and everyone will be happy to rescue Miss Qing'er.

But I think Xiao Zishuo is capricious and insidious and cunning, which is not a common sense judgment of ordinary people, so this plan is not perfect.

According to Mi's opinion, the middle and greater people should threaten him with this matter when he ascends the throne the day after tomorrow, and at that time, even if he has scheming, he will have to give in.

It's just that Mi still has one condition, if the middle and larger people agree, I will know that everything is endless. ”

After stopping his words, he saw Zhao Zhihai put on a look of deafness, and then continued:

"Then Mr. Xiao Jinxiao is just a small official for your Qin State, and for Qi State, he is jealous of Xiao Zishuo at the top, and he is jealous of the nobles of Qi State, and his death is just a matter of time.

Therefore, Mi Mou doesn't want anything else, just that after the matter is completed, the eldest person can give me this son and let him go to Chu with me. ”

After Mi Xiao finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Zhihai was motionless, as if he was constantly thinking.

Mi Xiao was not in a hurry to let Zhao Zhihai answer him, he just looked at Zhao Zhihai quietly

Mi Xiao believed that Zhao Zhihai would definitely not refuse him.

After a while, Zhao Zhihai nodded as expected.

"Xiao Jin can give it to you, but he needs to change his face, at least he can't let my daughter know that he is still alive."

Mi Xiao nodded, he understood the good intentions of the crazy father in front of him.

Then he grabbed the flask on the table and filled it for himself.

"It all started seventeen years ago......

……

Adjacent to the Heavenly Prison of the Green Dragon Palace, Xiao Jin has been detained here for almost three months.

Coincidentally, the place where he was held was the cell where Xiao Zishuo was locked up, but he didn't know this.

Xiao Jin stayed in this dark prison every day, except for a few words with the jailer when eating and going to the toilet, the rest of the time was thinking about his parents and Zhao Qing'er.

When she was imprisoned that day, Qing'er was suffering from a high fever, and I don't know if she is cured now, whether she is fine.

With a squeak, the door of the prison made a piercing sound, and a familiar footstep came into Xiao Jin's ears.

Xiao Jin turned his back to the door and didn't move, because he didn't want to know if the person who came was the last person he wanted to see.

The last person he wanted to see came to him, and he stopped outside the cage, speechless for a long time, as if lamenting the impermanence of the world to the prison where he had been.

"Are you going to succeed tomorrow? Congratulations. ”

In the end, it was Xiao Jin who spoke first, he just wanted Xiao Zishuo to leave here quickly, because the silence just now had made him feel uncomfortable like a man's back.

"I lost."

Xiao Zishuo said lightly,

"The people of Chu didn't beg for peace, didn't send an embassy, and didn't bring you gifts." Xiao Jin smiled.

Although he still doesn't understand why Xiao Zishuo is so confused and has that dream that can't be realized at all.

But now he suddenly understands that it is because of Xiao Zishuo's misunderstanding of supreme power and extremely perverted blind confidence, if there is one word to describe it, it is self-righteousness.

Xiao Zishuo didn't answer Xiao Jin's words, he still stood silently behind Xiao Jin.

"The State of Chu has already assembled a large army on the border, and it is the kind that the State of Qi cannot resist, maybe Brother Zishuo, when you ascend the throne, it will be the day when they go north to attack the State of Qi, right."

Xiao Jin spoke to Xiao Zishuo in a playful tone, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Jin."

After a long time, Xiao Zishuo whispered, the voice was so small that he almost couldn't hear it.

"Is Qing'er okay?"

Xiao Jin didn't care about Xiao Zishuo's apology, but asked about Zhao Qinger's safety.

In Xiao Jin's mind, even though Xiao Zishuo wanted to kill himself, he still helped him a lot after all, so he wanted to ask Xiao Zishuo to take care of Qing'er and send Zhao Qing'er back to Qin after his death.

But Xiao Jin's question did not get the slightest response from Xiao Zishuo, because Xiao Zishuo seemed to be frightened and ran out again.

Xiao Jin was shocked, he hurriedly looked back at the direction where Xiao Zishuo left, and at the moment when the gate of the prison was closed, Xiao Jin saw Xiao Zishuo's back fleeing in embarrassment, and the back was tripped when he stepped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

Xiao Jin sat on the ground slowly, and Zhao Qing'er's graceful figure appeared in his eyes again in the dark, but the figure became fainter and fainter, until it turned into a tear and slid down Xiao Jin's face.
