Although Xiao Zishuo strongly argued that Xiao Jin colluded with the people of the Chu State, there was no one in this hall who had been in the court for a long time, so he naturally understood that Xiao Jin colluded with the Chu State, and I am afraid that a three-year-old child would not believe it.

It's just that Xiao Zishuo imprisoned him, so naturally there is a reason for his detention, and I think it is most likely that Xiao Jin disobeyed Xiao Zishuo's will or Xiao Zishuo had the heart to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

But when Zhao Zhihai and Xiao Zishuo went toe-for-tat for Xiao Jin, everyone was surprised to realize that this official in the shogunate was really not so simple.

Xiao Jin's sense of mystery in everyone's hearts has also become more hazy.

originally thought that Xiao Zishuo would definitely get up and refute Zhao Zhihai, at least according to his tough attitude towards Chu State, it was only right to scoff at Zhao Zhihai's threat, but what everyone didn't expect happened.

I saw Xiao Zishuo get up slowly, put his hands on his chest with a smile on his face, and actually gave Zhao Zhihai a big gift.

In the astonishment of everyone, including Zhao Zhihai, Xiao Zishuo said slowly:

"The middle and older people, Xiao Jin is just a commoner, and the two countries of Qin and Qi should not fight because of such a small person.

The greater man insisted on letting him go, so he let him go. ”

When Zhao Zhihai heard this, he was not happy but worried, his brows were also tightly wrinkled together, he looked at the respectful Xiao Zishuo, and an ominous premonition followed.

Sure enough, Xiao Zishuo worshipped for a long time, and even when Xiao Kun, Xiangbang Tianfu and others in the Qinglong Palace, who were a little red-faced, he slowly got up and said to Zhao Zhihai:

"The middle and greater people, today the nobles of all countries are gathered in my Qinglong Palace, and it is rare for the middle and greater people to come to my Qi country, originally Zishuo wanted to stay until the future, and invited you to come to discuss.

But today, the bigger people seem to have misunderstood my Qi country, so Zishuo has to discuss a major matter with you in advance, and all the nobles in the palace can also be a witness. ”

"Oh, the prince has something important to discuss with me, a foreign minister."

Zhao Zhihai looked at Xiao Zishuo's behavior and said with some disgust in his heart.

"When Zishuo was in your house, he and Miss Ling Qing'er hit it off at first sight, and Zishuo wanted to propose to the middle and older people, and accept Miss Qing'er as his wife.

In this way, even if you and I, Qin and Qi are married and become a family, there will be no misunderstandings like today.

As long as the middle and older people nodded, wouldn't it be a trivial thing to let Xiao Jin go? ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zishuo stretched out a hand to Zhao Zhihai, who was standing in front of him as if he had heard it wrong, handed him an object in his palm, and then gave him a big gift again, and then retreated to his seat and looked at Zhao Zhihai with a smile.

Zhao Zhihai did not look at the object in his hand, because since he got it in his hand, he knew that this thing was the hosta that Zhao Qinger was carrying on his head, and this hairpin was the jade butterfly hairpin that Zhao Zhihai personally gave her when Zhao Qinger was just sixteen years old last year.

Zhao Zhihai closed his eyes, but after a few breaths, his eyes opened again, and there was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, calm like a clear lake.

He took a few steps forward and came to Xiao Zishuo's side, reached out and gently grabbed his arm as if he was friendly with Xiao Zishuo, and said with a smile:

"Thanks to the prince's love, the little girl has already promised someone, but she hasn't passed the door, and I'm afraid that this matter will disappoint the prince.

The prince doesn't know that my Zhao family has been in the Qin State for hundreds of years, and now I am a nobleman of the Qin State, relying on the family motto that I must do what I say.

Everyone in the Qin Kingdom knows that if they get the promise of the Zhao family, even if it is difficult to reach the nine heavens, far away in the sky, the people of my Zhao family will always respond

No's.

So please also ask Chu Jun to endure the pain and let go of the little girl, if he has a place where Chu Jun can find Zhao, Zhao should do his best.

It's just that the prince may not know that in addition to keeping his promise, my Zhao family also has one thing that is also famous in the Qin State, that is, if anyone dares to hurt my Zhao family for no reason, the Zhao family will take revenge with all they have.

As for the marriage that the prince just said, when I return to China to discuss with the monarch, I will definitely explain the good intentions of the Qi country.

Prince, do you think that's good? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhihai's words fell, the hosta in his hand circled Xiao Zishuo's arm, but both of them were wearing wide robes, and their arms were clasped with each other, so everyone in the hall did not find that Xiao Zishuo's hand had been cut.

Although everyone heard Xiao Zishuo and Zhao Zhihai's words in a fog and was unclear, everyone understood the general meaning.

Xiao Zishuo wanted Zhao Zhihai to marry his daughter to him, but Zhao Zhihai rejected Xiao Zishuo.

To put it simply, that's what it means.

At this time, the happiest people are the people of Shu, they were really nervous for a while when Xiao Zishuo said his request, because who knows what Zhao Zhihai's daughter looks like, and whether Xiao Zishuo will favor the newcomer alone in the future, and completely snub the princess of Shu and Xiao Zishuo's wife.

But when they heard Zhao Zhihai refuse on the spot, they suddenly relaxed.

Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Zishuo, and they were very curious about how this man, who would become the monarch of Qi in five days, would react to Zhao Zhihai's refusal.

But unexpectedly, Xiao Zishuo withdrew his arm from Zhao Zhihai's hand with a slight smile, and after saying a few words in his mouth, he left the Green Dragon Hall on the grounds of physical discomfort.

When he left, Zhao Zhihai was still standing where he was talking to Xiao Zishuo and motionless.

On the bluestone slab in front of him, there was a little scarlet blood left.

Not long after, everyone in the Green Dragon Hall also dispersed unhappily.

......

"Middle-aged people, the more than 40 personal soldiers I left in Tokyo last time are now all gone, I'm afraid it's already more auspicious."

In the post house, Gu Daoyuan said respectfully to Zhao Zhihai, who was sinking like water.

He had been out for a day or two looking for the eyeliner he had left in Tokyo, but to his disappointment, these people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of them.

"Xiao Zishuo searched for the people of Chu in the whole city, and he must have arrested them together.

Under the thunderous means, it is common to catch our eyeliner, so let's send someone to find them. ”

Zhao Zhihai said, while taking out a black piece of iron from his sleeve and handing it to Gu Daoyuan, Gu Daoyuan received it in his hand and blurted out as soon as he saw that it was an iron eagle:

"Black Ice Terrace?"

"Suzaku Street, Purple Smoke Pavilion."

Zhao Zhihai glanced at Gu Daoyuan, and after speaking softly, he lowered his head and picked up the teacup in his hand, and put it in his nose to smell the fragrance of tea.

Seeing this, Gu Daoyuan knew that Zhao Zhihai was upset and didn't want to say more, so he put the Iron Eagle Token into his sleeve, gave Zhao Zhihai a salute and withdrew.

The Black Ice Platform is a unique intelligence organization of the Qin State, and it is very mysterious on weekdays, even Gu Daoyuan has only heard of it.

It is said that this organization even has eyeliner for the Rong people outside the Guan, not to mention the capitals of the countries outside the Guan.

Soon, Gu Daoyuan came to the Purple Smoke Pavilion alone.

It's just that to his surprise, it seems that someone in the Purple Smoke Pavilion has long known that he will come here, and he originally returned

Gu Daoyuan, who was worried about how to contact the Black Ice Platform, didn't spend much effort to find the Iron Eagle Swordsman who was responsible for collecting information about the Qi Kingdom.

With the Iron Eagle Order in hand, the Iron Eagle Swordsman, who looked to be over the age of six, arranged for Gu Daoyuan to be in a rather secret attic.

The Purple Smoke Pavilion is a place of fireworks, and even though Tokyo is full of wind and rain, it has not been affected in the slightest, and even during the day, there is an endless stream of people lingering here.

Gu Daoyuan understood that this green building, teahouse and other places were indeed mixed places, which were very conducive to the collection of intelligence, and he couldn't help but have an intuitive feeling about the actions of the Black Ice Platform.

The old man who called himself Xuanshan took Gu Daoyuan to the secret room, and then asked Gu Daoyuan about the reason.

Gu Daoyuan told the story of the disappearance of the remaining soldiers of the Qin State, the possible imprisonment of Zhao Qing'er in the Qi Palace, and Xiao Jin, and asked the Iron Eagle swordsman to investigate.

It's just that when he finished speaking, the aristocratic old man who looked more like a pampered person smiled slightly, and answered Gu Daoyuan's question on the spot, which made Gu Daoyuan surprised, but also feared these Black Ice Terrace people.

It is no wonder that there are two Zhao Fang families who can faintly compete with the Yong family, and the state of Chu is getting bigger and bigger, but Qin Gong has always been a safe look, it turns out that the general trend of the world is indeed in the hands of Qin Gong through the Black Ice Platform.

I'm afraid that the Zhao and Fang families are also well aware of this matter, so these two families can be powerful and not domineering, and the Duke of Qin can also rest assured that he will hand over the power to the heads of the two families.

"Mr. Gu, in fact, these things were also collected by us by accident, and you also know that the people who patronize us here on weekdays are all dignitaries, so it is not difficult to know these things."

The graceful old man smiled at Gu Daoyuan and said, as if he saw Gu Daoyuan's inner concerns, so it sounded more like an explanation.

Gu Daoyuan is not an easy person, he naturally understands what the old man means, he doesn't want to have too much entanglement with the people of the Black Ice Terrace, so he quickly changed the topic and said to him:

"Mr. Xuanshan has worked hard, all the soldiers of my Qin State were killed, and I and the middle school also guessed, but the fact that Qing'er was arrested in the Qinglong Palace is unexpected, Mr. must know Qing'er's identity, so please continue to explore Qing'er's safety.

As for why Xiao Jin was arrested, please be able to explain in detail. ”

The old man known as Xuanshan nodded lightly when he heard this, and said:

"It is said that I, the Black Ice Terrace, only collect information, and do not analyze the causes and consequences, but Miss Qing'er is the daughter of the eldest person, so I will say a few more words.

After Master Gu led the 30,000 Qin troops away, Miss Qing'er and her entourage returned to Tokyo alone, their master and servant lived in an inn not far from the Qinglong Palace, and they would wander outside the prison every day, I think Miss Qing'er wanted to take the opportunity to rob the prison.

It's just that the prison is a place to detain repeat offenders in a country, and Miss Qing'er thought a little simpler, and after several investigations, she gave up this idea.

And the dozens of soldiers sent by Mr. Gu turned into beggars or businessmen to protect this young girl in secret.

In the first few days, they were indeed safe and sound, but when martial law was declared in the whole city of Tokyo and the people of Chu were arrested, something suddenly happened.

Master Gu can know that although the Qi State does not have an organization similar to the Black Ice Platform, they also have people who are responsible for investigating intelligence, Miss Qing'er has gone outside the Heavenly Prison three times and five times, and the soldiers of my Qin State suddenly gathered around Miss Qing'er, even if those people are stupid, they will find out the clues.

Although I don't know why they didn't do it for a long time, on the day of martial law in the whole city, the Qi army still first took action against the Qing'er girl and the soldiers of our Qin State.
