Chapter Ninety-One: Clever Tongue
When Chen Zheng quietly came out of the post house and rushed to Yangquan Jun's mansion, there were two people sitting in a place in Xianyang City, this place was Lou Huan's mansion, as for these two people, in addition to Lou Xuan, the other was Zhao Hao, who was full of leaky air.
I saw Lou Chuan and Zhao Hao sitting opposite each other, with wine and meat on the table in front of them, and beside them, there was a waiter sitting respectively.
In the light of the bronze oil lamp, the two waiters were methodically doing the same thing, which was to chop the cooked meat into pieces with the short blades in their hands. Why? Because Lou Yan's teeth have almost fallen out, there are only a few old cavities left who are still breathing, swaying, and still relying on their respective posts. As for Zhao Hao, there is no need to explain, perhaps, his teeth have already been roasted in a heart full of hatred.
The two of them grabbed a handful of the minced meat and stuffed it into their mouths, enjoying the pleasure of the food with their fairly sensitive taste organs, and their expressions were very intoxicated.
The waiter picked up the bronze wine bottle and poured wine into the wine bottle, and Lou Chuan and Zhao Hao drank it all with his sleeves.
"On this trip to Handan, did you see Lou Chang and Zheng Zhu?" Lou slowly put down the wine bottle and looked at Zhao Hao faintly.
Zhao Hao looked at the two waiters with a panicked face, but he stopped talking.
"Hahahaha!" Lou slowly laughed: "Lord Zhao has become more and more restrained since he met that person surnamed Lu. Don't worry, they are their own people, they grew up in Loufu, Lord Zhao doesn't have to be suspicious, but it doesn't matter. ”
Zhao Hao said vaguely: "See... It's here. ”
"How?"
"No... What to say, just to say... Zhao Wang Heping... Yuan Jun is also preparing... Fight, wait for the Qin army... When the time comes, they will... Answer. ”
"That's all? What else? Lou Xuan's demeanor was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Hao's answer.
"Yes... By the way, Lord Lou Chang also... Say, to send Zheng Zhu... Lord Zheng comes... See you in Xianyang... Fan... Prime minister. ”
Lou Xuan frowned and wondered, "What's the matter?" Do you want Lord Zheng Zhu to come in person? ”
Zhao Hao shook his head: "No... Ignorance. ”
"Did Lord Lou Chang ever say when Lord Zheng Zhu would leave?"
"No... Ignorance. ”
"What else did Lord Zhao gain from his trip to Handan?" Lou asked reluctantly.
Zhao Hao still spoke like a tractor about to turn off, intermittently telling two things. One thing is that the original unknown prince of Qin is now full of friends and friends in Handan, and even Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, is a guest, and at the tense moment when Qin and Zhao are so tense and all the missiles are aimed at each other, this phenomenon is particularly abrupt and strange. Another thing is that this former Lord Zhao Hao of Zhao State recruited some fox friends in Handan City, and went around to inquire about the military intelligence of Zhao State's preparations for war, and an espionage network without a transmitter and code book has been secretly set up in Handan City. In addition, Prime Minister Fan Cheng, who knew people well, gave the task of catching up with the ladder to this anti-bone boy of Zhao State.
After speaking, Zhao Hao proudly took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, shook it in front of Lou Xuan's eyes, and stuffed it back.
"Lord Zhao, is this...?"
Zhao Hao's eyes glanced at the two waiters, and he was about to speak, but he still felt uneasy, so he simply stood up and walked to Lou Xuan's side, leaned down to whisper.
Due to the irreversible loss caused by the original ecological windbreak in Zhao Hao's mouth in the past indiscriminate felling, at this time, a sandstorm swept through Lou Yan's ears, and in the whistling wind, only a few words were faintly heard, and it turned out that the bamboo slip was recorded on the bamboo slip, which was all the staff of the "Wind" crew formed by Zhao Hao himself in Handan.
When Zhao Hao sat back in his place, Lou Xuan didn't say a word about the bamboo slips, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Fan handed over the important task of making the cloud ladder to Lord Zhao, which shows the weight of Lord Zhao in Prime Minister Fan's heart!" As for the Ying Yiren who is far away in Handan, doesn't Lord Zhao really know the reason? ”
Zhao Hao looked at Lou and laughed miserably: "It's not all... It's that Lu..., oh..., that surname Lu... The hell is... Oni Mingdo. ”
Lou smiled slowly: "It's a shame that Lord Zhao still remembers that the old man can't hear this person's name." Since Lord Zhao left Xianyang and sneaked back to Handan, the old man received a secret letter from Lord Lou Chang. ”
"Oh~?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up and stared at Lou Yan: "Could it be... With that surname... Lu's related? ”
Lord Lou Chang said in the letter that since the man surnamed Lu returned to Zhao from South Korea, he mentioned the son of Qin State Ying Yiren in front of Zhao Sheng several times, and he did not hesitate to renovate Ying Yiren's residence at any cost, not to mention that this guy actually took out 500 gold to give to the son of Qin State, and came to Xianyang with a lot of jewelry. After some investigation by Lord Lou Chang, guess what? This surnamed Lu ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to interfere with the future throne of the Qin State, and this guy's courage was too great. What a pity! After the old man caught the surname Lu in the house, he wanted to kill him by the hand of the old man in Shicang, but I don't know who leaked the news, so he asked Xin Lingjun and Meng Fu to come to the door, let this kid run away, and hurt the old man's face, it's really too late to regret, it's too late to regret! ”
Zhao Hao's expression was about to attack angrily, and he ran in coldly, but when he saw the man walking to Lou Xuan's side, he muttered a few words in Lou Xuan's ear.
Lou slowly nodded, waved his hand to signal the man to step back, and then looked at Zhao Hao and smiled lightly: "This person, he really can't stand the chatter, especially the person who is right and wrong, just come when he says it." ”
After a while, I saw Shicang hurriedly walking in.
"You two are so interested! Now that something big has happened in Xianyang City, you are still in the mood to drink here. ”
Lou Shu said disapprenousively: "It's rare to see Mr. Shicang so panicked, because you are still the teacher of the young man." To tell you the truth, the old man is still looking forward to something happening in Xianyang City! ”
Shicang looked at Lou Xuan's old face who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he turned his face to Zhao Hao and said, "When did Lord Zhao come back?" ”
Zhao Hao stood up and arched his hand: "See... Over the Shicang... Mr. I was yesterday... From Zhao Guo... Back to salty... Yang. I don't know this... Xianyang City... Ho... Things, can you say... Let's hear it. ”
Shicang raised his hand angrily: "It's not that Lu Buwei, if it weren't for Lord Lou's indecisiveness, he would have cut off the head of that Lu Buwei a long time ago, how could he be allowed to act recklessly in Xianyang City." ”
Zhao Hao heard Shicang mention the words "Lu Buwei", and hurriedly stretched out his arms and pressed them down, signaling not to say any more, but Nai Shicang ignored it, still muttering complaining.
"The last time I was here, I said, Lord Lou's words, that Lu Buwei's head fell to the ground, but Lord Lou didn't listen, and asked me to make a move, and later in front of Lu Buwei, he said that he would kill that kid when Lord Zhao came back. Since Lord Lou said that let Lord Zhao kill this Lu Buwei with his own hands, then the old man still has nothing to worry about, just go back and wait with peace of mind. Who would have thought that this kid was actually rescued by Wei Wuji and Meng Fu. Lord Lou is really, Lu Buwei was rescued by others, and he didn't tell me, the old man didn't hear the news until yesterday, and he collided with Lu Buwei on the parade ground outside the north gate today. Alas! I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place! ”
Speaking of this, Shicang's gaze shifted from Zhao Hao to Lou Yan's direction: "Lord Lou, people were lost from you, you and Lord Zhao want..., oops!" What's wrong with Lord Lou?! ”
With Shicang's exclamation, Zhao Hao and the two waiters turned their heads to look, oops! Why is Lord Lou lying on the ground, his limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth?
The two waiters hurriedly went over to support Lou Zhuan, and while calling for Lou Lord, they pressed their thumbs on the human acupoint.
Shicang stood in place in confusion, looking innocently at Lou Xuan, whose limbs were straight and trembling, and then at Zhao Hao, whose face was like paper ash and his lips were collapsing.
Zhao Hao wanted to yell at Shicang, but he didn't dare to offend the teacher of the young man in front of him, he was very likely to become a generation of emperors who were in power and above 10,000 people in the future, and he still wanted to mix in the Qin State!
After Zhao Hao's patient dialing, Shicang suddenly realized as if he had just woken up from a dream, just because he was too anxious when he came in just now, and forgot that Lou Yan couldn't hear the three words "Lu Buwei".
Lou Yan was carried away by two waiters, and only Shicang and Zhao Hao were left at the scene, and the atmosphere was really embarrassing.
After the two sat down, Shicang looked at Zhao Hao, who was silent, and thought to himself, the enemy of the enemy is a person who can be used, why not push him to the bright place, hide in the dark by himself, and give Lu Buwei a big dismantling and destroying the corpse?!
Shicang smiled and said: "Listening to Lord Lou Xuan, Lord Zhao and the person surnamed Lu are also as deep as the sea and do not share the sky, why not take advantage of the fact that he has not left Xianyang and find an opportunity to kill this person?" ”
Zhao Hao raised his eyes vigilantly, and then smiled: "Shi... Mr. Cang should... Knowing that Fan... Prime Minister and Lu... No... Friendship, right?! Don't hide it... Sir, I... Today also with Lu... Unexpectedly... Encountered, and it was... Fan Cheng Xiang... With him... Meet me and... Good. I... With that surname... Lu's Ben... There's no grudge... Resentment, over... Go just have... Mistakes... Yes, since there is a fan... The prime minister is... He calls the shots, and I... What else could there be... Well said. ”
Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't bite the hook and got into the water like a loach, Shicang secretly laughed in his heart, see how I use a big net to fish you out, even if you can't be fished out, a depth charge will make you obediently surface.
"Hahahaha!" Shicang laughed and said: "I can't imagine that Lord Zhao has such a mind, he is worthy of being a great talent in the world who was majestic in Zhao Country in the past, admire, admire!" If what the old man said is right, Lord Zhao's teeth were pulled out in South Korea? Lord Zhao doesn't have to be embarrassed, which one of the people who have achieved great things in this world has not gone through hardships, and which one has not suffered humiliation. But then again, every time the old man thinks of what happened to Lord Zhao, he is really indignant for Lord Zhao! ”
"Oh~? This... How's that... Speak? ”
"I think about it at the beginning, what status did Lord Zhao have in Zhao Kingdom? What a view? Because of a mere businessman, he fell into such an unbearable situation. That is, Lord Zhao, if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would have been ashamed to live in the world. ”
Zhao Hao praised and scolded himself when he heard Shicang's words, and he was so angry that he pointed with his hand: "You! ”
"Oops! This is infuriating?! The old man thought that Lord Zhao had long lost his blood, it seemed that the old man was clumsy, and he was wrong to blame Lord Zhao, the old man was here to accompany him, haha, not to accompany him. Shicang said and arched his hand to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao, who was on the other side, was still angry, and tilted his face to the side.
Shicang seemed to have settled on Zhao Hao, and said without hurrying: "No wonder Lord Zhao succumbed to Fan Sui, now the King of Qin is obedient to this Prime Minister Fan, if Lord Zhao wants to gain a firm foothold in the Qin State, of course he must compromise." But..."
Zhao Hao turned his head to look at Shicang: "But what... Is it? ”
"Lord Zhao is a smart man, now that the King of Qin is old, then Fan Sui only relies on the King of Qin in the Qin State, but he has offended the top and bottom of the Qin State, I don't know how many people hate him to the bone, if something happens one day, do you think about it, what will be the situation of the Qin State at that time?"
"Please also... Kurazen... Raw Advice 1... Two. ”
Shicang smiled and said: "In the future, there may be a day when Prime Minister Fan, who is now invincible in the Qin State, loses his backer and becomes panicked?" Lord Zhao may know that it is precisely because of Fan Sui that those Chu people who were originally leisurely and leisurely in Xianyang were driven away and died of anger, and those who were still alive among them wanted to put Fan Sui to death as soon as possible. Lord Zhao thinks about it again, now that King Qin only has one son left, that is, the crown prince of the current dynasty, who does he listen to the most? ”
"Sir... Say, Mo... It's not Huayang... Madam? ”
"Lord Zhao really knows a lot about the Qin State. Who is Mrs. Huayang, who made the prince of Qin bow her head? ”
"When... But it's Chu... country. ”
“……”
Shicang looked at Zhao Hao and smiled silently.
Zhao Hao's eyes seemed to light up: "Mr. is... Say, wait for the prince to sit down... Throne, Huayangfu... People will be for Chu... The Chinese people retaliated against Fan... Prime Minister, oh no, Fan... Sui? ”
"This is what Lord Zhao said, but the old man didn't say anything."
"That's... In the future... Qin Guocheng... Who is the rendezvous... This? ”
Shicang chuckled and said: "Looking at the Qin State, in terms of military exploits and popularity, who can compare with General Bai Qi?!" The old man also wants to remind me that Lord Zhao's Fan Cheng is getting deeper and deeper with General Bai Qi, I advise you to make plans as soon as possible. ”
Zhao Hao was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Sir... How to say... My Prime Minister Fan, I'm with... Fan Sui didn't... What a friendship, he... It's him, I'm ... I, don't get involved. ”
"Good, good! The old man believes in Lord Zhao, but other people's heads grow on other people's shoulders, what do they think, the old man can't be the master! There was an imperceptible smirk in the corner of Shicang's eyes.
Zhao Hao stood up, walked to Shicang and bowed deeply, "Still... Mr. Wang said... Dotted fan... Saliva. ”
Shicang stood up and held up Zhao Hao's arm: "Lord Zhao, do you know why the old man is here today?" ”
Zhao Hao thought about it, yes, this old guy came in a hurry, and he hasn't talked about it for a long time!
It turned out that when Shicang and Chen Zheng met by chance outside the north gate of Xianyang City, Prince Yingzhu found a jade craftsman from the palace and ordered a jade plate according to the requirements of Mrs. Huayang. The jade craftsman also went out in order to tie the prince, and after some cutting and grinding, he handed over the work at noon that day. Maybe it was because the prince of Qin who lacked heart and eyes forgot to instruct, or maybe the jade craftsman didn't know who he was bragging about, in short, on this afternoon, the intelligence system installed in the palace by Shicang sounded the alarm.
When Shicang heard that the crown prince Yingzhu had made a jade plaque, and also clarified the relationship between Yingyiren and Mrs. Huayang's heir and the heir, he was immediately frightened. After some weighing with Yingjie, it was finally decided to release Lou Xuan, the old hairless vulture, and Zhao Hao, the toothless evil dog, first, the primary target was Lü Buwei, who threatened the future throne candidate of the Qin State.
Of course, the version that Zhao Hao heard from Shicang was an edited and abridged version.
Shicang stared at Zhao Hao, and said earnestly: "Lord Zhao, stand in a good team and choose the right person, you will be flying in the future, standing in the wrong team and following the wrong person, and you will be dead in the future." Are you listening to Fan Sui? Or do you want to stand with my son-in-law? You have to think about it before you answer me! ”
It is not so much that the anger in Zhao Hao's heart was ignited by Shicang again, it is better to say that this Lord Zhao's expectations for his future in the Qin State were brought to the sky by the rocket ignited by Shicang. Choose Fan Sui? As long as King Qin is dead, Fan Sui will become the target of public criticism, not only will he be replaced by Bai Qi, but it is also a big unknown whether his net worth can be saved. Choosing Invasion? As long as he kills Lü Buwei and helps Yingjie eradicate Yingyiren, it is equivalent to buying a super lotto in advance, and after scratching it off, it says: Qin will always welcome you.
Zhao Hao gritted his teeth, but there was no tooth in his mouth, a ruthless heart, in fact, the heart of a person like him doesn't need to be ruthless, there is no praise in his dictionary, he roughly flipped it with his hand, and what came into his eyes would only be hatred, jealousy, greed, hypocrisy, viciousness, cunning ....... Such people come into the world as jackals that motivate antelopes not to be lazy, hounds that train rabbits to run, and crocodiles that warn zebras of danger at the water's edge.
Bad people also have the meaning of their existence, and this meaning lies in the fact that if there is no such thing as them in the world, good people will either become lazy and stupid, or they will become bad people.
"Lord Zhao, have you figured it out?"
"I, Zhao Hao, have never been as clear as I am today. Sir, don't worry, Lu Buwei's little life is handed over to me! ”
