"Where is the envoy of the Zhao Kingdom?" Tian Ying put the cup in his hand on a few cases, looked at the person in front of him, and asked lightly.

"No salt, I heard that I have gone in the direction of the new city."

"Haven't you ever been to the water?"

"No, just one night in Wuyan. A few of them went north. ”

"That's good." Tian Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said viciously: "The work of building the city should be stepped up, and it is not a good thing to drag it on for too long." ”

The man pursed his lips and stopped talking. was seen by Tian Ying.

"You are my old man, you don't have to hide it, just say what you want."

"Yes." The man thought for a moment and said respectfully: "Now a few days, I heard that the king is quite unwell, and Gongzi Tian Pijiang is approaching day and night to take care of his daily life. The great general Tian Wei is also defending the royal city and has not returned home for a few days. It seems that the king is not in good health. ”

"Hmm." Tian Ying was noncommittal. In fact, he already knows these situations, since the king of Qi could not govern, he has arranged his own people in the royal city, and every move in the royal city cannot escape his ears and eyes. It's not that he has any thoughts, in fact, the entire Qi country knows that once the king of Qi collapses, Tian Biqi will be the legitimate heir, and Tian Ying will not dare to act out of the ordinary.

But now in his position, it is not for him to decide at all, but many people need their own protection. As soon as he left, when he arrived at the fiefdom, Tian Biqi would not be too embarrassed by himself. But these people who followed him were about to be attacked and framed by political enemies. This will be the end of the world for Tian Ying. The reason why the tree is not afraid of wind and rain is because the rhizome is deeply embedded in the earth. His political friends are the rhizomes of his big tree, and once they are uprooted, they will not live long.

So to the maximum, he has to ensure his own safety in order to be able to fight back.

"At this time, the Lord will still build a city on a large scale, and I am afraid that when the time comes, it will be smeared by someone with a heart in front of the king, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Smear?" Tian Ying sneered twice and said lightly: "What is the smear? It is the king's order to build the city, but I have only obeyed the commandment, and what is there to fear. ”

"It's nothing to build a normal city, but my subordinates are afraid that something will be known to others, and I'm afraid that when the time comes..."

Speaking of this, Tian Ying's face changed, "There is nothing to say about building a city and repairing the equipment to defend the city." ”

"Lord, I'm afraid that when the time comes, the three of them will be speechless."

Tian Ying picked up the cup and took a sip gently, but the man could clearly see that the cup was shaking violently in Tian Ying's hand, and he was afraid that if he was not careful, it would break.

"I hope they don't deceive people too much, otherwise, even if the jade is burned, a certain will have to fight him once." As he spoke, he suddenly knocked the cup on several cases and shouted: "Pass the order, and if anyone dares to persuade the city builders, they will be beaten out with sticks!" ”

Ten days later, Le Yi and others finally arrived in Linzi, and as soon as they settled in the post station, they were greeted by the Qi State Dian Ke Division, and arranged to meet the King of Qi five days later.

"Five days, I'm a little nervous." As soon as the officials of the Pawn Division left, Zhao Jue and everyone gathered around to discuss the next action. "Within five days, it is a little difficult for us to make the whole Qi State refuse to send troops to the Zhao State."

"Indeed, I heard that King Qi was unwell, and I thought that the meeting would be five days later, which would be enough for us to arrange calmly, it seems that we have to adjust it." Le Yi pondered for a while and said to everyone: "In this way, we will act in two parts, and strive to finalize this matter before meeting the King of Qi. ”

"Please sir." Zhao Jue and others said.

"Then please ask the main envoy and the deputy envoy to visit Tian Ying in a bright and bright manner. The last time you went to the country of Qi, you were familiar with it, and this time it is natural for you to visit. Hehe, I guess this person is also waiting for you in the house. ”

Zhao Jue and the others knew in their hearts, entered the Qi country, and based on Tian Ying's ability, if they didn't know the whereabouts of their own people, they were afraid that it would be impossible, and when they arrived in Linzi, they let him know that Zhao Jue and others were eating, drinking, and sleeping with their eyes closed. In this case, if you don't visit him, you will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"However, if the King of Qi is terminally ill and has no cure, will the State of Qi still attack our country at this time? Aren't you afraid that King Qi will pass away and morale will plummet? In fact, this problem has plagued Zhao Yuan for a long time, and in his opinion, if the Qi State sends troops at this time, it is really in danger of defeat.

Le Yi and Zhao Jue looked at each other and smiled, the former said leisurely: "War is indeed a very interesting thing, victory and defeat are success or hatred for generals, but for the court, it may be another kind of change." If you want to send troops, there will be people who oppose sending troops, and the purpose of both sides is by no means simple. All we do is reduce the risks of war. ”

Zhao Yuan didn't understand this kind of political conspiracy, he was used to staying in the barracks, so he only knew how to lead troops to fight. And the thinking of politicians like Zhao Jue and Le Yi can't be understood. I simply don't delve into it.

The prosperity of Linzi is well known, the boats on the river are like weaving, the cries on both sides of the river come and go, even on the passing streets, they are also side by side, there is really a look of sweating into the rain.

Wen Ji pushed open the window, looked at the boats on the river outside, breathed in the scent of grass blowing on the river, and closed her eyes in intoxication. The air in the women's dormitory was filled with the smell of fat powder, and even the wine poured out of the house was filled with a disgusting copper smell. If before, she was still able to deal with this kind of thing calmly, then now she is washing all the lead, and she just stays in the house on weekdays, even if it is a palace noble, she can't move him. She is famous, and she is a confidant with the gentlemen of the Jixia School Palace, so ordinary people will not be embarrassed by her.

She knew that she would do this, maybe the person didn't know, but she hoped that when she saw him again, she could prove her so-called innocence, even if it was ridiculous. The women's dormitory is a special place, from the day she was born, there are no secrets, no matter how confidential things are, there will be some clues here, which is why she hides in the women's dormitory. Therefore, even if he was not by his side, Wen Ji knew that Zhao and Zhongshan had just gone through a big war, and Zhao would almost annex half of Zhongshan's territory, and Zhao Yong not only established great feats in Zhongshan, but also married a Korean princess.

That woman must be beautiful, right? Otherwise, why didn't he send for me? Even if he is so busy, is he reluctant to leave Wen Ji with a word? The princess of Korea, so what, why is she not the princess of the Qi country? If not... If not... Thinking about it, Wen Ji's heart melted into a wave of jealousy, sour, and let the tears run out.

"Knock knock."

"What's wrong?" Hearing the knock on the door, Wen Ji immediately wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and instantly returned to her decisive appearance, shouting, "Who? ”

"Girl, there is a Zhao Guoren who calls himself Le Yi and asks to see him." Outside the house is his own personal maid.

"Zhao Guoren?" Could it be him? She trotted to the door, opened the wooden door, looked around, and saw that it was not coming, and said, "What is the matter with this gentleman?" ”

"This gentleman said that the old people of Zhao Guo entrusted him to meet him, and said, 'Resist Luo to cover up the tears, and the waves of tears.' The mourning will never be extinguished, and the mourning will be lost in a foreign land'" As she spoke, the maidservant took out a green jade pendant from her sleeve.

Wen Ji carefully took the jade pendant, and the tears that had just been withdrawn finally flowed down without a fight, and finally, he did not forget me. There are thousands of men in the world, and he is in such a position, does he really let him be alone for himself? Enough, that's enough, at least in his heart, and me.

"Please, gentleman, come to the room for a while." Although Wen Ji didn't know the identity of the other party, her intuition told him. This man must see it himself.

When Le Yi saw Wen Ji, he was able to understand why he was watched by so many people along the way. I believe that if he knew that this was the first time in a year that a man had entered Wen Ji's boudoir, I am afraid he would be even more relieved.

What is the relationship between the woman in front of you and the king? How much energy does she and the forces behind her have to help herself? Is she worth her life? When Le Yi saw Wen Ji, he couldn't help but think of these questions.

"I'm sorry." Le Yi said, he could see that the woman had just cried.

Wen Ji nodded with a smile and asked Le Yi to sit down, someone who is worthy of Zhao Yong's identity must also be worthy of his trust. "Mr. is from Zhao State, it must be the trust of the king, if the concubine's guess is good, it must be related to Qi State's attack on Zhao."

Qi Guo is really a surprising woman. Le Yi praised in his heart, there was an ugly girl Zhong Lichun before, this Wen Ji, I'm afraid it is not too much.

"Not bad. The day before yesterday, the envoy of the State of Qi went to Handan and threatened Xiang Guotian Ying with the intention of attacking Zhao. And I have just fought a desperate battle with Zhongshan, and my vitality is damaged, and if I am attacked by the Qi State, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the enemy. It is the king's hope to persuade the king of Qi to dispel the idea of Qi attacking our country. ”

"The news from the royal city in the past few days, I'm afraid that the king of Qi will not see Mr." Wen Ji frowned and said slowly.

"But the Pawn Division said that the King of Qi will summon us and others in five days."

Wen Ji smiled slightly, "King Qi won't see you, this little woman is very sure of this." As for the summoning, it was nothing more than the summoning of Gongzi Tian Bijiang on his behalf. ”

"I see, it seems that King Qi has little time to live. But how is that good? Le Yi shook his head and sighed.

Wen Ji was also shocked when he heard the news, and was very calm, knowing that this person must not be an ordinary messenger, she nodded and said: "According to the news that the concubine knows, the king of Qi has run out of oil, and his time is indeed running out. ”

"Could it be King Qi's trick, after all, King Zhongshan is also considered to have a long time, but he has been much more lively recently."

"No," she thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't dare to say that my news must be accurate, judging from the movements of several big people in the city in the past few days, it is inseparable." ”

Le Yi nodded and said, "It's better to be precise." If you can't see the King of Qi and explain the position of Zhao, then if you want to change your plan to attack Zhao, I'm afraid it will take some effort. ”

"This one is natural." Wen Ji said, "But instead of trying to convince King Qi, Sir should find another way." At least, there are three people, and King Qi can still listen to them. ”

"Three people? I thought there might be only two people. I wonder if the other person is? Le Yi said in surprise.

"This other person, in fact, is only half of it. It is not unusual for Mr. to not know this person, after all, Mr. can't understand the affairs of Qi Kingdom. And this person will not be of use to me. Compared with the ability of the other two people, this person's strength is not large, and his power is not high, but one thing is that he can be left and right, if he can be convinced, he can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Le Yi nodded, "It's just that I don't know how to meet this person." ”

Wen Ji smiled slightly, "If Mr. has time these days, you might as well come and visit Wen Ji more." ”

Le Yi smiled bitterly, don't say that you have a good identity, even if you are talented, I have limited time, how can I have time? He was about to refuse, but suddenly a flash of inspiration dawned: "In this way, it will be more disturbing." ”
