King Qi Palace, side hall.

The palace people turned on the lamp, stirred up the slightly dim light, put a little incense, cleaned up, saluted the person on the throne, and slowly retreated. The man took a sharp breath, closed his eyes, and his wet hair had obviously just been washed, only to hear him say: "In the past few days, a certain person has been in the royal city, and he must have guessed the illness of the monarch's father, and the city of Linzi has been boiling." ”

Tian Pan sat respectfully, looking at Tian Bijiang with a look of enjoyment, knowing that King Qi's illness had recurred in the past few days, and he was in front of him, and finally took advantage of today's condition to slow down a little, and was able to take a bath, and naturally felt a lot more comfortable. "It's not a big move, after all, the king Yu Wei is still there, and the son is the one who belongs to the destiny, and some clowns who jump off the beam are really not enough."

Tian Pijiang has been much more stable in recent years, and he is used to seeing the deceit of the ministers, and he has more precipitation and calmness. "Even so, that person, I still can't rest assured."

Kuang Zhang sat at the end, lowered his head, and listened to the conversation between the two bigwigs, and he didn't dare to interject at this time.

"Childe is now deeply trusted by the king, and that person has always been cautious and cautious, selling his reputation and reputation, and will not do anything out of the ordinary."

"I hope so. I heard that in recent days, his mansion has been coming and going abnormally, and it may not be a sign of being in his position. ”

"Childe, don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, but the whole Linzi is under Childe's control, and there will be no mistakes."

"The general knows that achieving great things is not informal, reputation is important, but ambition is also depraved." Tian Bijiang said meaningfully.

"What Childe said is very true. It's just that at this moment, we must not cause any trouble, otherwise, the country will be unstable. Tian Pan said earnestly.

"General, what do you say is the most difficult thing in this world?"

Tian Pan glanced at Tian Bijiang and knew that he had decided not to pursue it for the time being. Tian Yingshu has deep roots and has been running the government affairs of the Qi State for many years, if he really wants to make a sudden attack, he Tian Pan can ensure that the royal city is fine, but he does not dare to say that the entire Qi country is very stable.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan." Tian Pan bowed his head and said.

Kuang Zhang looked at the two of them clearly, remembered the words of "Le Ren" yesterday, and thought about whether to talk about it or not. He is a wise man who does not like to juggle on these matters. However, he was deeply valued by the king of Qi, and Tian Pijiang introduced him as a confidant, and he had to be involved in this political situation. Politically on the wrong side, it is often a matter of personal wealth.

"However, the last general heard that Xiangguo built a city in Xue County, and all the weapons to guard the palace were built at the level of the five capitals, and the preparation for attack was not under the five capitals. Although the radius is not large, it is the advantage of the first soldiers, or above the first soldiers of the five capitals. Kuang Zhang said cautiously.

The air in the room was visibly suffocated, as if it was frozen in an instant, and even the candle flame fluttered. Tian Bijiang turned his head to look at Kuang Zhang, and asked with a normal expression, "Is this true?" ”

Through the light, Kuang Zhang could see that Tian Pijiang's hands hidden in his wide sleeves were constantly changing, clenching and loosening for a while, as if they were engaged in a complicated struggle. However, this matter of the throne has always been a battle for your life and death, until the last moment, it is difficult for anyone to say that the victory or defeat has been decided, and even the matter of the throne being usurped by someone is endless, so he knows Tian Bijiang's current mentality very well. Kuang Zhang could feel that cold sweat was dripping down his back, and white sweat seemed to be on his forehead, "It's just hearsay." ”

"Hearsay? Where did the hearsay come from? Between the words, there was already a little more banter.

"I heard about this from the envoy of Zhao State." Kuang Zhang said, and told the process of seeing "Leren" yesterday.

"Is the envoy of Zhao in Linzi? How did you not know? Tian Bijiang suppressed the beautiful figure of Wen Ji that was flooding in his heart, and asked curiously.

"According to a certain inquiry, the envoy of Zhao State is here to visit the king about Qi State's intention to kill Zhao. It's just that it has just come to Linzi, and the time is still shallow, so few people know. Gongzi has been serving the king for several days, and his foreign affairs are all in Tian Ying's place, and he is naturally not clear in the royal city. Kuang Zhang replied, suddenly raising his eyebrows, feeling that some of the words in his words just now were not very appropriate.

"I want to attack Zhao State?" Tian Bijiang glanced at Tian Pan. Tian Pan is the general of the Qi State, and no one can mobilize the soldiers and horses in the entire territory of the Qi State except for the King of Qi, so this matter is naturally to ask him.

"Childe may have forgotten that a few days ago, Lord Xiangguo said that after the war between Zhao and Zhongshan, there was already an alliance. The state of Qi cannot sit idly by and watch it become strong, and must provoke internal strife between the two countries. It was to send an envoy to warn Zhao that if he could not unite with Qi to counter Zhongshan, he would be wrathed by Qi. ”

Tian Bijiang closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, nodded and said, "There has indeed been such a thing. However, the king was still in good health that day, so he had no objection to this discussion. But now, the king's body is so ......"

Tian Pan thought for a while and said, "This discussion seems to be inappropriate to be carried out now. ”

Tian Bijiang's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Does the general also think that it is not appropriate to send troops at this time?" It seems that the monarch's father said that the general has a big view of the overall situation, and what he said is true. Yes, when the monarch's father woke up a little, he personally presented it to the monarch's father and asked him to decide. Well, the day after tomorrow, please invite the envoy of Zhao to meet you. With that, he got up and walked down the steps, ready to leave, without giving the two men a chance to respond.

Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, turned around slowly, Tian Bijiang looked at Tian Pan and said, "General......"

"The old minister understands." Tian Pan interrupted what Tian Bijiang wanted to say, the latter was slightly stunned, then nodded, turned around and left.

Kuang Zhang looked at the conversation between the two of them playing dumb riddles, and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold, "Let's go." Tian Pan pushed Kuang Zhang, who was stunned.

Kuang Zhang glanced at Tian Pan and couldn't help but say, "General, I think that this may be Zhao Guo's divisive plan. ”。

Tian Pan replied expressionlessly: "If this is the case, I have to ask the general to monitor them, and don't do anything out of the ordinary in Linzi." As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"The old general doesn't seem to be worried about the envoy of the Zhao State?" Kuang Zhang blurted out and called out to Tian Pan, who was about to leave.

"Compared with the envoy of Zhao State, there is one more thing, you have to be extra attentive and do it immediately." Tian Pan didn't intend to answer his question at all, and said to himself.

"Command, General."

"Arrange the confidants to rush to Pinglu immediately, and get the city building plan of Xue Cheng as soon as possible." As he spoke, he left the hall with his hands behind his back. Only Kuang Zhang was left alone, standing there stupidly.

Tian Pan and Tian Bijiang's thoughts, he can also guess seven, seven, eight, eight.

The reason is very simple, if you send troops, you must need someone to lead, then whether it is Tian Pan's people or Tian Ying's people, they are not suitable candidates, they will be feared by the other party, and there may even be the possibility of being strangled by the other party's mutiny.

The king of Qi may die violently at any time, but it is impossible to send troops to attack Zhao State overnight, at this time, use troops, in case the news of the death of King Qi reaches the front line, the army is unstable, it is inevitable that the army will be defeated, at that time, not to mention that Zhao State is in hot pursuit, but also to beware of Song State and Chu State in the south.

The most important point. Tian Ying's plan is very mature and very feasible, once the troops are dispatched, whether it is Zhongshan or Zhao State, they may not be able to take advantage. In the sensitive period of the change of the throne, even if Tian Pijiang sits in that position, I am afraid that he will be challenged by Tian Ying, who is coerced by the great victory Yu Wei, and he will be restrained. This kind of situation is not what Tian Bijiang wants to see.

What's more, whether Zhao attacked or not was not Tian Pijiang's concern, he believed that two days later, Tian Pijiang would definitely tell Zhao that Qi had no intention of attacking Zhao, and was willing to be a friendly state with Zhao.

"Alas, politics is so complicated, it's not so simple." He said with a wry smile, turned back to the little guy behind him and said, "Let's go, go home." In the past two days, we have had a lot of time to rest. ”

At the same time, there are still undercurrents surging in Linzi City.

Le Yi and Zhao Jue sat on both sides of the table, and Zhao Yuan poured wine for the two of them and also sat aside. I only heard Zhao Jue say: "I don't know what happened when Miss Wen Ji asked me to wait here?" Why haven't you seen her until now? ”

Zhao Yuan also complained: "Yes, not to mention that you can go to the women's dormitory, why do you have to look for a long time in such a ghost place." As he spoke, he looked at the room for a long time and continued: "This is far worse than the decoration of the women's dormitory. ”

"But this Wenji girl is indeed very good, and she can even count that Tian Ying and Tian Pan's people appeared in the women's dormitory, so that Mr. can carry out the strategy of sowing discord, and she has no trace, and she is full of wisdom."

"The key is that beauty is incomprehensible, and the loss is our ally, otherwise it ......" The more Zhao Yuan said, the more he felt that something was wrong, the woman he commented on seemed to be Zhao Yong's confidante, and looking at the relationship between the two, it was by no means as simple as an ally, if this was the case..... He looked at the slightly wilted smiles of the other two, and cold sweat rolled down his back.

"By the way, does Sir know that Miss Wen Ji asked me to meet here today, is there anything to order?"

Le Yi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, but it couldn't compare to Zhao Di's spiciness, and shook his head, "I didn't know that Miss Wen Ji asked me to wait here," he said, "But I think there are about three things that can be determined." ”

"Which three?" The two asked suspiciously.

"First, the sun will still rise tomorrow, second, Linzi will definitely exist tomorrow, and third, we will still be able to drink and eat meat as usual tomorrow."

After listening to this, Zhao Jue and the others didn't feel it, thinking that these three things still need you to confirm, they must be true.

Just as the three of them were talking and laughing, they only heard a slightly frivolous voice coming into the room through the window lattice, "The sun will naturally rise as usual, and Linzi will definitely be safe and sound, but whether the three of them can drink wine and eat meat as usual, it is uncertain." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuan quickly got up and pulled out the sword he was carrying, and at the same time, the wooden door creaked open, and a man wearing a brocade and jade robe, decorated with Wen Pei, looked at the three of them with a smile. Wen Ji also stood behind the man, seemingly quite respectful and slightly intimate. And behind the two, there are also two old men, their beards are white, they are not angry and arrogant, they are quite imposing, but they are not ordinary characters.

Le Yi motioned to Zhao Yuan to put away his sword, stood up and looked at a few people, and was silent.
