Lu Kai looked at the tea and said leisurely, "There is a hunter in the Southern Wei Dynasty, when training the hunting dogs, ten hunting dogs are locked in a black house, not to eat and drink, and if they want to survive, they can only eat the same kind of flesh and blood, among them, several hunting dogs are unusually thick and brave, and they are not afraid to fight, and after the emaciated hunting dogs are gone, the brave hunting dogs will regard the survivors as a thorn in their eyes, and after all, they will be damaged by hurting people, and the last victory hound will also lose too much blood and die."

"It seems that the hounds who survive are the bravest, but if the hunter does not medicate the wound of the last hound, the hound will also die, so that the only one who can be the winner is the hunter."

Zhao Zongcheng Minghu nodded at the same time, vividly pointing out the situation of various countries, Zhao Zongdao "The envoy means that Jing Yue will become the biggest winner?" Jing Yue has always stayed out of the matter, never fought with anyone, seems to be thin but is actually above all countries, Jing Yue is just a cold bystander"

This is not to push Jing Yue to the cusp of the storm, "there are advantages and disadvantages" Lu Kai pointed directly to Jing Yue, which made him sad, "At present, the most qualified to achieve hegemony should belong to Jing Yue, Jing Yue's land is fertile and vast, but it is precisely because he does not participate in anything that the life is leisurely and the people's customs are gradually eroding, and the country is rich and the people are rich on the surface, but in fact there is a false appearance, although the soldiers are extensive and negligent in training, they really can't withstand the big war"

"Northern Shu and Southern Wei have been fighting for many years, and the victory lies in the soldiers"

Cheng Minghu nodded in agreement, "The envoy said well, Jing Yue's worries are not external enemies, but internal troubles"

Lu Kai thought of Taiwei and Da Situ, and couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Minghu continued, "Jing Yue is not to worry about now, but for the Western Sui can not be taken lightly, in terms of military strength, it is really the enemy of the Northern Shu and Southern Wei, the Western Sui has 800,000 elite soldiers, and the cavalry is invincible, although there is a lack of Ming Lord, but Murong Fei is not to be underestimated."

Lu Kai peeked at Zhao Zong's expression from time to time, and wondered in his heart that he was looking for him, could it be that he was talking about these vain things on paper?

There is so much nonsense Cheng Minghu brought the conversation to the side of Xi Sui, what Zhao Zong was waiting for was Cheng Minghu's words, Zhao Zong did not hint at anything with Cheng Minghu in private, and there is no need to hint at it, as long as the situation of various countries is mentioned, it will definitely not miss Xi Sui.

The conversation was led to the West Sui, and Zhao Zong said in passing, "Speaking of the West Sui, there happens to be a secret letter, and the envoy may wish to refer to it for Lonely."

Lu Kai's face changed slightly, Xi Sui sent a secret letter to Zhao Zong, but Zhao Zong asked him, the envoy of another country, to refer to it? How could there be something wrong with the taste, Cheng Minghu was stunned, and couldn't think of what Zhao Zong's intention was for a while.

Zhao Houli has a manager Wu by his side, and Zhao Zong has a manager Pan by his side.

Zhao Zong clapped his hands, and Manager Pan entered from outside and presented a letter to Lu Kai.

The letter was in the hands of Mr. Pan, and Mr. Pan delivered it with both hands respectfully, Lu Kai didn't answer the thoughts in his mind, thinking about what would be written in the letter, and how to respond in the future, but it was in vain to think about it, how could he guess the content without reading the letter.

Lu Kai didn't answer the letter, Zhao Zong glanced at Xu Rongji, Xu Rongji understood Zhao Zong's meaning and smiled, "The prime minister may wish to consult with the envoy, one is short and the other is long."

Cheng Minghu breathed tightly, he didn't expect Xu Rongji to say such a thing, Cheng Minghu is different from Lu Kai, the envoy can hesitate not to answer, Cheng Minghu can't hesitate for a moment, and his eyebrows turned to Lu Kai's side to answer the letter.

After reading the letter, Cheng Minghu didn't speak, and handed the letter to Lu Kai, Cheng Minghu's tense face didn't see anything from his complexion, Lu Kai took the letter and thought that if Cheng Minghu was there, if there was something fatal, the other party could also share it with him.

Lu Kai also looked at the content, and looked at its content and said angrily, "King Mingjian of Shu, this matter must not be agreed!" ”

Zhao Zong slowly asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

Lu Kaidao: "The ambition of the wolf son of the Western Sui is trying to sabotage the peace talks!" ”

Zhao Zongdao said, "Lone has also thought about this, but after all, it is the six states of the Western Sui."

The content of the letter probably means that if Zhao Zong gives up negotiating peace with the Southern Wei, then he will hand over the six states of the Western Sui.

This is a big piece of fat meat, if Lu Kai is Zhao Zong is ironclad promise, he can collect the six states of Western Sui without a single soldier, which is a great thing, but why tell him about it?

Lu Kai immediately understood Zhao Zong's deep meaning as soon as he thought about it, Zhao Zong felt that it was not enough, how could the huge Western Sui have to satisfy his appetite in the six states.

But if you understand it, you still have to pretend to be surprised.

Lu Kai said eagerly, "The six states of the Western Sui seem to be vast, but they are not the richest places, saying that this land was originally snatched by Murong Fei from Hou Jing, and the people of the six states have not yet been able to submit to the Western Sui, this is a hot potato, gain, difficult to control, lost, reluctant, Western Sui This is trying to push the big trouble to the King of Shu"

Zhao Zong's eyes were dignified, and he looked directly at Lu Kaidao, "Does the envoy think that Gu is as incompetent as the King of Western Sui and cannot control the people of Liuzhou?" ”

Of course, Lu Kai didn't dare to point out Zhao Zong's incompetence, "This is not the intention of the lower officials, but after all, Western Sui and Northern Shu are separated by Zhangshan, and it is not easy to enter and exit Zhangshan, so it is better to take Yizhou, one Yizhou can reach the six states of Western Sui"

Which place is good and which place is not good, Zhao Zong knows it, and he dares to spread it out and say that of course he has greater ambitions, and he heard Lu Kai mention Yizhou and deliberately asked, "Yizhou?" Xi Sui will not give up Yizhou"

Lu Kaidao, "Xi Sui naturally doesn't want to let it, how to take this will be discussed between the King of Shu and the King of Wei"

Lu Kai finally understood Zhao Zong's purpose, Zhao Zong was in a very happy mood, and Zhao Zong said, "Discuss? So King Wei also intends to go west to Sui? ”

The six states of the Western Sui have all been taken out, this is not an obvious attempt to blackmail the King of Wei, if the King of Wei does not agree to Zhao Zong, he will unite with the Western Sui, and force this land to open although he is not from the Southern Wei Dynasty, after all, his identity is an envoy, and he can only reply according to Zhao Zong's wishes.

Lu Kaidao, "The lower officials don't dare to speculate arbitrarily, but the matter of the Western Sui will be truthfully reported to the King of Wei"

Zhao Zong's goal was achieved, and a smile floated on the corner of his lips, "Then you will be tired of the envoys, you are tired, you can retreat"

Lu Kaicheng Minghu stepped back.

Report to the King of Wei? How can Lu Kai report to King Wei, he is not a real envoy after all, let Zhao Zong be happy alone in this matter.

If he had known that Zhao Zong would let him enter the palace because of Xi Sui's affairs, then the little prince would not have to suffer from abdominal strangulation, and how could Lu Kai guess that Xi Sui would give Zhao Zong a secret letter.

The Little Prince's business is redundant.

The two of them went out of the palace and Cheng Minghu returned home, and the carriage naturally had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and Cheng Minghu got off the car first and asked the coachman to send Lu Kai back to the Pawn Office.

Out of the palace, Lu Kai wanted to go to the Proton Mansion, but he couldn't let the prime minister's coachman send him directly, so he could only go back to the pawn office for the time being, and he would come to the door later.

Lu Kai just got off the carriage outside the door of the Pawn Office and saw Zhang Zhongping returning to the office with a radiant face, the two met at the door of the office, Lu Kai looked at Zhang Zhongping with a smile and said, "Is there any happy event for the eldest brother?" ”

Zhang Zhongping laughed, took out the immortal lock he had just bought and let Lu Kai look at it, and when he saw the lock, he knew what it represented, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, big brother, happy son"

Zhang Zhongping was happy, "It's hard to say about men and women"

Lu Kai is also happy for Zhang Zhongping, "he must be a son"

Zhang Zhongping laughed proudly and said, "Borrow the good words of the virtuous brother"

"Come on, come on, go back to the house and talk" Lu Kai led Zhang Zhongping back to the courtyard.

The two returned to the house and sat down, and Lu Kai opened his mouth and said, "Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the eldest brother has to go to the palace to be on duty."

It is a happy thing to be able to go to the palace to be on duty, but Zhang Zhongping is not happy at all, Lu Kai must want to do something again, and this time the location is still in the palace, the palace gate is easy to enter and difficult to exit, if there is anything wrong, this is no joke.

Before the happy event went, Zhang Zhongping asked worriedly, "On duty in the palace?" Where is it on duty? ”

Lu Kai said for the sake of safety: "I will tell you the specific things when the time comes."

"We?" Zhang Zhongping said: "Who are we? ”

Lu Kaidao "There is also Daiqian"

Zhang Zhongping frowned and said, "He entered the palace with me on duty?" ”

"Hmm"

Zhang Zhongping was asking, "What do you want to do this time?" ”

Lu Kai calculated the time, thinking that the coachman had already gone far away, "Big brother doesn't have to do anything, the matter is handled by Dai Qian, just listen to his orders when the time comes, but if it succeeds, we can avoid a lot of trouble when we go out of the city, let's not talk about it first, now we have to go to the prince's mansion, there are some things to instruct"

Now Lu Kai didn't understand what he didn't say, Zhang Zhongping looked a little unhappy, there was something that he couldn't take with him, Zhang Zhongping said, "It's not that I haven't been to the prince's mansion, I'll go with you, wouldn't it be better to arrange anything in the prince's mansion?" ”

At this time, Zhang Zhongping was a little anxious in his attitude compared to the past, and Lu Kai said a little strangely, "We'd better not often come to the door at the same time, now that Wei Yongnan is back, he has been paying attention to me, be careful"
