The blessing of the Mo family's tricks has made Lin Cheng, which was originally relatively inferior, more and more stable. This is not good news for the Qin State, which has come thousands of miles. Especially at the same time, Zhao gradually increased his troops under the Great Wall of Qin, although it is not easy to break through the defense line of the Great Wall, but it is true that it brought great pressure to Qin. This also made Yu Lijian more and more eager to attack Lin Cheng.

Twenty days after storming Lin Cheng, the Qin army retreated from Lin Cheng. There were concerns of the Qin king about the increasingly serious situation in Shangjun, and more importantly, Zhongshan and Zhao reached a temporary truce. In this way, the pressure on the east of the Zhao State will be reduced, and more soldiers can be sent to Lin City, and the 40,000 troops of the Qin State will be in danger.

When Zhu Liji retracted his last gaze towards Lin Cheng, he had no regrets in his heart. He lost nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Qin State this time, but he never captured Lin City, not only lost to Lian Wu, but also the children of the Mo family. If only Lian Wu was there, I am afraid that Lin City would already be the city of Qin by now.

In any case, as the victors, Lian Wu and Lin Xiangru still have enough reasons to celebrate this victory, even if this victory is too lucky, but the so-called luck is not also a little bit of strength to support? Looking at the jubilant appearance of the people of Lin City, he was also very satisfied. The Mo family has been running north and south all these years, working tirelessly, and they are very happy to see that with their help, the city can be defended. It can be said that the joy of Lin Cheng was just one of the many joyous scenes he had seen.

However, he immediately thought of Zhao Yong, thought of Zhao Yong's metaphor of the "stream and river" in Linzi, Qi State, and then reviewed this battle to defend the city. Lin Cheng successfully defended it, and the happy thing was that it was naturally the people of Zhao State, but those Qin soldiers who couldn't break through Lin City because of their own defensive weapons, didn't they die in vain? But in other words, seeing that Lin City was breached, and he couldn't stop the purge after the Qin army entered the city, the people of Zhao died very miserably. By extension, if these are the fault of the war, then it seems impossible for the two countries not to be at war with each other. He traveled to various countries, especially the Qin and Zhao countries, and traveled the most in the past two years. He found that these two vassal states attracted displaced people and common people to cultivate the land through various decrees, and many of the displaced people lived a stable life, at least having land to cultivate and exchange for some money, which showed that the policies of these two countries were very right, but the princes who had waged the most wars against other princes in recent years were also these two countries. Needless to say, the Qin State has been constantly annexing other princes, and the Zhao State with the development of national strength in the past two years, first defeated Lou Fu and Lin Hu in the northwest, and then occupied half of Zhongshan, and now Zhongshan is about to destroy the country. If you really want to count, Qin and Zhao will launch an average of one foreign war every year in the past two years. However, among the many vassal states, these two countries are the strongest.

This question is not difficult to explain, people live in a wide land, and the country is strong, and after the country is strong, the people live in nature, and the people of other vassal states will be rich. But that's not right! Didn't you say that the people were in dire straits? Of course, there is a difference between Zhao and Qin, Qin relies on strict punishment and strict laws, although Zhao also relies on "Zhao Law", but in terms of the strictness of the law, it is not as strict as Qin. This is also the reason why Belly Chu has been lingering in Zhao Kingdom. He really wanted to know how the young monarch had developed the Zhao State from a weak state to a point where he could now compete with the Qin State. If he relied on his theories, which were different from the Mohist views, could he really make the world peaceful and the people rich?

Three days later, Lian Wu confirmed that the Qin army had left Zhao and returned to Qin, so he sorted out the battle and ordered someone to send it to Handan. So he mounted his mount and went to the city gate to bid farewell to him.

"Mr. is gone, I don't know when we will meet again. In any case, the people of Lin Cheng and the last general will keep in mind the help of the Mo family and Mr. ”

Lian Wu looked at the belly and the Mo family, still wearing straw sandals, carrying a wooden cane, and a hat. In fact, he refused some of Lian Wu's kindness to them, saying that this was the true character of the Mo family. For these people, Lian Wu admires them from the bottom of his heart.

"The disciples of the Mo family travel all over the world, so naturally it is impossible to stay in one place for too long. But where there is war, there is naturally our presence. I believe that in the future, we will have more opportunities to meet. King Zhao, his ambition is not small. Maybe next time, you and I will be enemies. ”

Lian Wu sighed in his heart, indeed, with the behavior of the Mo family, if Qin Zhao fights again next time, I am afraid that the Mo family should stand on the other party's side again, and when the time comes, how should he face the belly?

The two exchanged a few words, and they were about to leave with the Mo family. Before he could turn around, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he was very anxious. Both Belly and Lian Wu stood still, thinking, could it be that there is a new military situation. When I got closer, I saw that it was no one else, it was Lin Xiangru and Meng Liang who came together.

It is said that Lin Xiangru really felt that it was one thing to make a generous statement in this siege battle, and it was another thing to kill the enemy bravely. With his current body and bones, he really can't carry it on his shoulders and can't lift it with his hands. Fortunately, Meng Liang, a native of Qi State, has been guarding him by his side and helping him many times, so he can survive to this day. Even so, he suffered multiple injuries. Meng Liang almost died in Lin City. Since then, Lin Xiangru invited Meng Liang to follow him, the Lin family is a first-class clan in Lin City, and the relationship with the Zhao clan is not ordinary.

"General, sir." Lin Xiangru and Meng Liang got off the horse, and hurriedly walked to the belly, "Xiangru is late, and I almost can't say goodbye to Mr." Lin Xiangru said that his good impression of the Mo family, especially the belly, was no less than that of Lian Wu. However, this belatedness also has the benefit of being late, if it weren't for the lateness, Mr. must have been running around for a while. He laughs.

Lian Wu and Belly Shu didn't understand what Lin Xiang meant, the latter took out a silk book directly from his sleeve and handed it to Lian Wu, after Lian Wu read it, he smiled, and handed it to Belly Shu, "It seems that Mr. This time, he is going to Handan for a visit." ”

The general content is that the Qin army retreated, Zhongshan and Zhao temporarily truce, and the princess of Chu had also arrived in Handan, so I took this opportunity to invite the generals of the battle between Lin Cheng and Zhongshan to Handan to celebrate. On the one hand, I am relieved, and on the other hand, I also hope to see my belly again. I hope that no matter what, I will also get together in Handan.

"In that case, don't shirk it." Lian Wu said, "Wouldn't it be right to go to Handan to attend the king's wedding with Lin Xiangru?" ”

"Me?" Lin Xiangru was taken aback, "What did the general mean?" ”

"Of course it's you." Lian Wu said, "In the list of meritorious personnel reported by General Ben, you Lin Xiangru is one of them!" ”

"I heard that the princess of Chu is very cute, with a slender waist and a plain neck, plump flesh and micro-bones, and even sultry. It's just that she has a quiet temperament and doesn't seem to like talking to her. Fu Mu combed Meng Yao's hair while talking about the newly heard gossip.

Meng Yao seemed to have no intention of paying attention, but the rolling eyes betrayed her. Especially when I heard the maid say that the princess of Chu was so delicate, I couldn't help but look at myself in the mirror to see if she was too fat and if she was not perfect enough. But to be honest, just before Zhao Yong saw her, she never thought that she would marry this man one day. Even now, his impression of Zhao Yong is still only stuck in the concept that he is the king of Zhao Kingdom. She is very new to marriage.

"Meng Ji doesn't have to worry." Fu Mu pulled the last strand of her hair, looking at this girl who was brought up by herself, she was about to get married, this feeling was probably more distressing than the marriage of her own daughter. "Meng Ji is the first beauty in Zhao Kingdom!"

"First?" Meng Yao stroked her delicate face, and the bronze mirror seemed to tell her that she was so beautiful. I don't know who is more beautiful compared to the princess of Chu in Fu Mu's mouth.

"Fu Mu, if I'm uglier than that princess of Chu and the king doesn't like it, what should I do?"

"Meng Ji must remember." Fu Mu said solemnly, "A man will give anything to a woman, but this heart is the most difficult to love a person." Meng Ji arrived in the royal city and had no care, but as long as he had the heart of the king, he was naturally invincible. ”

After a long time, Meng Ji nodded heavily, "Hmm." ”

"In a few days, it will be the king's happy event, how about taking the right to let go of government affairs and have a good rest in these days?"

Han Qian snatched the bamboo slip from Zhao Yong's hand, put it aside, and said coquettishly.

"What's the happy event?" Zhao Yong smiled bitterly. He, a person who has traveled through time, attaches great importance to this kind of family relationship, and rarely pays attention to that kind of palace etiquette. He thinks that if there is no family flavor at home, it will be much more boring. This kind of humane personality makes Han Qian and Han Chan, two people who have delayed their life in the palace for nearly 20 years, feel extremely cordial. "It's nothing more than a lady. If it weren't for the fact that one of them was the princess of the Chu Kingdom, the widow would definitely not attach so much importance to it. ”

Zhao Yong's unintentional words made Han Qian feel much more kind. "After all, she is the princess of Chu State, etiquette is not to be wasted, the king still has to prepare well for these two days, in case Chu Guo finds fault, it will be bad."

Zhao Yong nodded, held Han Qian's hand in the palm of his hand, and gently took it into his arms. Although Han Qian felt that this was inappropriate, she stubbornly didn't want to leave when she thought that in a few days, there would be two other women to share this relationship with her. Even one of the women gave it to Zhao Yong by herself.

"Whether it's the princess of Chu or the beauty of Zhao Guo. Qian'er is still the first place in the hearts of widows, and no one can shake it. ”

Han Qian didn't know what to say at the moment. She could only snuggle tightly in Zhao Yong's arms, infinitely magnifying the greed in her heart. As a queen, she had to be tolerant, but as a woman, she was so selfish. It's like she and Wu Guang conspired. She first accompanied Zhao Yong to Daling to play, and then talked about it day and night, so that Zhao Yong could think about it day and dream at night. Then tell Wu Guang about Zhao Yong's dream, and let Wu Guang find an opportunity to talk to Zhao Yong about it, deepen Zhao Yong's impression of Meng Yao, and attract Zhao Yong's attention. Finally, in the name of the banquet, let Meng Yao enter the royal city, so that Zhao Yong felt that Meng Yao was the same as the woman in his dreams. At the same time, he kept mentioning it in Zhao Yong's ears from time to time, and suggested that Meng Yao should be allowed to serve in the harem. In this way, he personally pushed his most beloved man to another woman. It's just that what she didn't expect was that Zhao Yong was very concerned about things like dreams because she came through the time, so she agreed very simply. He believed that since there was such a strange dream, there was naturally a mysterious reason.

No wonder it is said that it is often love that makes a woman black.

At this moment, Mi Xi was also standing in front of the window, looking at the same bright moon in different places, not knowing what her future should be.
