The news of King Wu's death was strictly blocked by Gan Mao, and only a few henchmen in the Yiyang camp knew about it, and even those medical officers were under house arrest by Gan Mao, and no one could enter or leave without his consent. So much so that everyone speculated that the king had been seriously injured in the past few days and should not move around.

And Ji Yan, who was in the city of King Zhou, was obviously very concerned about this matter, not only sent a large number of envoys to come to condole, but even the medical officer also sent several batches, but Gan Mao drove them all away on the grounds that it was not appropriate to disturb. This made Ji Yan and the others even more frightened, and there were still doubts about whether Qin Wangdang really died.

After arranging these, Gan Mao immediately asked Bai Qi to go to Xianyang with his secret warrant, and directly reported the cause and effect of the incident to Zhu Lijian himself. Because of this kind of thing, as long as he dares to accept the heavy responsibility of trusting Gu alone, no matter whether anyone testifies or not, Zhu Li Ji and others will kill him, so in this matter, he must discuss it with Zhu Li Ji.

Of course, what worries Gan Mao the most is Meng Ben's escape. Although he didn't know where he went, and the entire Yiyang was also a soldier of the Qin State, he didn't dare to guarantee whether this guy had left Yiyang. If others know the news of the death of the King of Qin, then conspiracies and arrangements against the Qin State will ensue. What's more, I don't have a scapegoat. Gan Mao, who came to his senses, executed the guards who had put Meng Ben under house arrest to death, and ordered other insiders to keep it a secret.

"How did Meng Ben run?" Gan Mao looked at the guard with an unkind voice.

"Meng Ben, let's run...", the guard general was about to reply, when he saw Gan Mao looking at him with a cold smile. He trembled, and immediately said: "Meng Ben is already dead, and he was fed to wild dogs by the general's corpse. ”

Gan Mao nodded, "Very good, I don't want anyone to tell me the news that Meng Ben is still alive." ”

"Yes, yes," he said tremblingly.

Although Gan Mao guessed that Meng Ben was a spy of other countries, he could only suffer a dumb loss because he had no evidence. And Meng Ben himself had already taken out Yiyang City and ran to the spy agency set up by Zhao State in South Korea, and quickly sent the news that King Wu might have died back to Handan. So much so that when the envoy of the Son of Heaven of Zhou visited Zhao Yong, he seriously injured King Wu and said that he might retaliate against the Son of Heaven.

"The messenger also asks to stay in the post house, tomorrow, the widow will restore the messenger." Zhao Yong thought for a while, but still didn't give a clear answer on the spot.

"That's... The king's invitation to the Son of Heaven..."The messenger did not dare to say that it was an order, because the one in front of him, no matter how he said it, was also called the king, although he was trespassing, but on other people's territory, he could only accept his fate.

"The Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, but whenever there is danger, the princes should have the responsibility to protect it. Zhao Guo is responsible for this. Zhao Yong weighed for a while and said a little cautiously.

But the messenger was satisfied to receive such an answer from him. After all, he was only a vassal of the Son of Heaven, so he couldn't interfere with how Zhao Guo should do it, so he happily waited for Zhao Yong's summons.

When Zhao Yong saw the envoy leaving, he also gave an order, but he took a few guards and hurried out of the royal city. It didn't take long for the news of Zhao Yong's departure from the city to report to the queen. Han Qianhun said to the palace person in charge of daily life unintentionally: "I know, go down." ”

Many palace people know that Zhao Yong has the habit of going out of the royal city in private, which makes the palace people in charge of living very sad. Hide it, I'm afraid of taking the charge, don't hide it, I'm afraid that Zhao Yong will punish you. But fortunately, every time Zhao Yong went out of the city, he informed the palace people of his whereabouts and informed the queen, so in their eyes, Zhao Yong seemed to be afraid that the queen would be angry.

But the mystery in this is only known to Han Qian. She is also very clear about the ambiguous rumors about Zhao Yong and the Queen of Yin, and she has also been affirmed by Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong clearly told Han Qian that the Queen of Yin would never enter the royal city, and even if she gave birth to a child, she would not enjoy the right to inherit. This can be regarded as a guarantee given to her by Zhao Yong. In her eyes, Zhao Yong is of course important, but more importantly, it is Zhao Zhang's inheritance. Speaking of which, Han Qian is also a strange woman, and she actually accepted Zhao Yong's arrangement. Although there is a gap in my heart, my feelings for Zhao Yong are still very heavy.

Of course, Zhao Yong's trip this time was not to go to the private incommunica, but to meet the crane crown.

Since Zhao Yong and Que Guanzi met, this strange man has always been Zhao Yong's guiding light, and he is also the most important spiritual pillar for Zhao Yong to persist in reform. It can be said that if there was no Crane Guanzi at the beginning, there would be no Zhao Yong's later series of drastic reforms, and there would be no strong national strength of Zhao today.

But in recent years, the years have eroded the old man more and more, so that it has become more and more difficult to walk. Although Bian Que was in charge, and under Zhao Yong's order, he established the Tai Hospital, and even trained medical officers on a large scale, but after all, due to the medical conditions of this era, many things were still inadequate.

Yu Guanzi has a very light view of life and death, and he is also optimistic every day, and Yu Xin, as his last disciple, except for occasionally helping Zhao Yong to envoy to some countries, most of the time, he is here to take care of this old man. Crane Guanzi also persuaded him to leave, but Yu Xin insisted on it. Zhao Yong also found some time in the past two days to come to meet this strange man.

Pushing open the old man's small door, there is a grass and a tree here, just like when he first came, this small courtyard was purchased by Zhao Yong for the old man, and everything should be lived, except for the one that was added at the beginning, there was no more addition. The flowers and plants in the small courtyard, no matter how hard the old man is, insist on cleaning up by himself, and the flowers and plants are prosperous, and in the nearby Gaomen compound, it seems quite emotional and independent.

Originally, for the safety of the old man, Zhao Yong had suggested that the surrounding people be moved, but the old man insisted and did not break this atmosphere, and the surrounding neighbors only knew that this old man was a close friend of the general Pang Cong, and the relationship with Zhao Yong was so bad that no one guessed it.

Zhao Yong pushed open the door and saw that next to the couch, Bian Que was checking the old man's condition, while Yu Xin looked at Que Guanzi nervously, and then looked at Bian Que, who was also worried. When he saw Zhao Yong come in, he was about to salute, but he was stopped by Zhao Yong, and Bian Que glanced at Zhao Yong, snorted coldly, and said no more.

Zhao Yong was a little embarrassed, Bian Que was rude to himself, all because Zhao Yong tied Bian Que to his side for his own life, so that this miracle doctor who wanted to travel all over the country and treat the people even went on a hunger strike, but later, Zhao Yong came up with an idea to train medical officers, so that the old man reluctantly agreed to stay in Zhao State. But for Zhao Yong, he no longer has a good face.

"Sir..." Yu Xin saw Bian Que get up, and hurriedly went to support him, with begging in his eyes, obviously wanting to know the physical condition of the Crane Guanzi, and was afraid that Bian Que was too sick, so he hesitated. It can be seen that Yu Xin's feelings for the crane crown are very deep.

"Stick to that recipe again. Although the old gentleman is sick, he is in good health, but he is old and no longer has the spirit of the past. As he spoke, he wiped his sweat, didn't look at Zhao Yong, turned around and went out.

Yu Xin glanced at Zhao Yong embarrassedly, Zhao Yong nodded, and motioned for him to send Bian Que first. He walked to the couch of the crane and saw that the old man had fallen asleep, so he did not bother anymore, but waited on the side.

"I'm worried about Lao Jun." Just as Zhao Yong was about to wait on the side, he heard the voice of the crane crown.

"It's the kid who disturbs Mr. Rest." Zhao Yong said ashamedly.

"It's okay, it's just getting older. It's just that compared to the senior brother, his own skin is inferior. The old man chuckled.

Zhao Yong and Que Guanzi have been friends for so long, so they naturally know that his senior brother is Guiguzi, a strange man through the ages. Zhao Yong originally wanted to visit this immortal, but later dismissed this idea. One is to go by himself, even in the name of the Crane Guanzi, the other party may not give it to him, and the other is that Zhao Yong himself also thinks that Liu Bei can't have a sleeping dragon and phoenix, so what qualifications does he have to be favored by the two strange people in the world? On the contrary, it is better to visit after some achievements.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yu Xin also sent Bian Que away and knelt down in front of the couch. Zhao Yongcai spoke: "The students came today, but they actually have some problems and need Mr. help. ”

In front of Que Guanzi, Zhao Yong generally called himself a student, and Que Guanzi resigned at first, but after a long time, he obeyed.

"Your Excellency, but it doesn't hurt to speak. The old and decrepit body, if you can help you a little, you will help a little. Crane Guanzi smiled and looked at Zhao Yong, as if looking at his most perfect work of art.

"Mr. Haojiao knows that because of the Qin State attacking Yiyang and seizing Jiuding, King Qin was seriously injured, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. Zhou Tianzi was deeply afraid of receiving retaliation from the Qin State, so he sent an envoy to ask for help. Zhao Yongyan said the matter succinctly, "The widow thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it might not be a good opportunity to send troops to Wangji and take the opportunity to occupy Sanchuan and drive the Qin people out of Korea." ”

Que Guanzi frowned and thought about it, and even lowered his head with Yu Xin in thought, speaking of which his status is very transcendent, holding the position of Zhao Guodian's guest department, but he does not meet from time to time. Zhao Yong also takes care of his little junior brother very much, and knows that he has a deep true biography of Crane Guanzi, but unlike Pang Xuan and others, the direction of his study is the art of vertical and horizontal, which is what Crane Guanzi is best at.

"Presumably, His Highness has discussed this decision with other ministers." Crane asked. Zhao Yong nodded, Le Yi and the others analyzed it for a long time, and felt that if they could take the opportunity to occupy Wangji at this moment, not only would it not damage their reputation, but they would increase their prestige. Although Zhou Tianzi's authority is not as good as before, as long as he exists for one day, he will have the value of one day, at least in the name of the Son of Heaven to occupy Sanchuan County, it is still very realistic, as for the coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it can only be said to be a long-term plan.

"Can the king be sure that the king of Qin is dead?"

"This... Although I don't know for sure, according to the analysis of intelligence, it is impossible to survive such a serious injury. Zhao Yong said cautiously.

"What is the king worried about?"

"What the widow is worried about is that the tree will attract the wind and swallow the bitter fruit."

The crane was immediately clear, and said with a smile: "It seems that the king is used to the rivers and can't withstand the waves." ”
