Xianyang at night is the most tranquil. While speaking, Master Zhao and Lou slowly returned to the official post. When the guards at the door saw it, they stepped forward and saluted: "Zhao Envoy, General Lou Xuan." ”

Master Zhao noticed that the guard's expression was wrong, and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

The guard whispered, "Guest." ”

Master Zhao and Lou slowly entered the house, and the door slowly closed.

"See Lord Zhao's father." As soon as Master Zhao's father entered the living room, three people came to salute.

Master Zhao smiled: "You are all here." ”

Lou slowly exclaimed: "Sima Wangzu, Le Yi, Zhao Xi, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Xi replied: "Naturally, it is to welcome Lord Zhao's father back to the country. ”

Le Yi also said: "More than ten days ago, we all received a letter from Master Zhao's father. ”

Lou Xuan blamed: "Why did you come?" ”

"It was the widow who brought them here at the right time." Master Zhao smiled: "Everyone is standing and doing something, sit quickly." ”

Lou slowly complained: "Master Zhao's father has arranged it, which makes me worry all day long. ”

"Lou slow, lonely, didn't deliberately hide from you. In Qin, I haven't found a suitable opportunity to tell you. Master Zhao asked Sima Wang's clan again: "How is the progress of the inner and outer cities of Saibei that Gu asked you to build?" ”

Sima Wangzu replied: "The minister has repaired the inner and outer Great Wall. ”

"Okay." Master Zhao laughed and said, "With the Great Wall as a backing, we went north deep into Hudi to find Lou Fu. You can also use the Great Wall to block the Hu people from going south. The Hu people went south to invade our territory, and we can also know the news of the northern Xinjiang in time in Handan, and adjust our forces to counterattack. Lonely, after returning to China, I must go to see the Great Wall of Saibei. ”

"Chen didn't expect that we would be able to concentrate the strength of the four counties to build thousands of miles of the Great Wall inside and outside. The minister also thought that it was impossible for us to build such a huge military project as the Great Wall in Hujiang. Seeing that the Sima Wang clan had built a city wall comparable to a mountain range of thousands of miles on the earth, he couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that we would be able to go deep into Hujiang and build thousands of miles of the Great Wall inside and outside the north of the country. Its project is huge, and no one has ever done it before. Zhao's father built the Great Wall in Hujiang, and he was also the first prince in the world. Master Zhao's father will also leave a name for eternity, how majestic. ”

"Lonely, I didn't expect to be able to complete the construction of thousands of miles of the Great Wall in such a short period of time." Master Zhao laughed and said: "Lonely, you have to stand on the Great Wall, look down on Hu Jiang, and point out the country." ”

Zhao built the Great Wall inside and outside, which is indeed a great feat, and it is also a thing worthy of praise. Zhao's father is worthy of opening up northern Xinjiang, and thought of building the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang, dealing with Hu troubles, protecting the descendants of the Zhao family, and making the country forever.

Lou slowly saw that Master Zhao was in danger, although he was celebrating the world-class feat of the Great Wall, but he couldn't be happy now, coughed, and asked: "Master Zhao, look inside and outside the Great Wall, point out the country, and talk about it later." Tonight, we are in Xianyang Palace, I am afraid that we have leaked our whereabouts. In order to prevent the Qin State from being unfavorable to Zhao's father, he also asked the master's father to leave Qin as soon as possible. ”

Master Zhao's father also knew that he was in the Qin Palace, and accidentally leaked his whereabouts, and when the Qin people came to their senses, they would definitely prevent him from returning to Zhao.

Master Zhao's father entered Qin and was detained by the Qin people, but if it was passed on, it would ruin his reputation. Master Zhao's father didn't want to be the second king of Chu.

Thinking of this, Master Zhao said with a solemn expression: "Lonely, it's almost time to understand the Qin State." It's time to leave Qin. ”

Lou slowly saw that the master father agreed to leave, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked, "When does Master Zhao plan to leave Qin." ”

Master Zhao replied: "When Xianyang City is opened. ”

Sima Wangzu sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and asked, "Why did Master Zhao leave in such a hurry. ”

Master Zhao sighed and gestured to the building: "You tell them." ”

Lou Fu told him what happened in the Qin Palace.

When Sima Wangzu heard this, he was shocked: "Master Zhao is too bold!" In front of the King of Qin, the Empress Dowager Mi, and the Qin ministers, he discussed the princes of the world and unified the mountains and rivers. ”

Zhao Yong smiled a little ashamedly: "Lonely, I drank a few glasses of wine and didn't control my emotions. ”

Le Yi also said: "Lord Zhao's father is proud of the ministers of the Qin State and talks about the world. I regret that I didn't see the courage and courage of Master Zhao in the Qin State, and I really regret it. ”

Zhao Xi also said: "The minister also regrets that he couldn't get a glimpse of Master Zhao's demeanor. ”

Sima Wang, Le Yi, and Lou Xuan all praised Zhao's father's lonely ambition, his courage and courage to deal with the Qin people, and his pride in the demeanor of the princes. As everyone knows, Lord Zhao's father Xianyang discussed the princes of the world, but he was worried and restless.

Lou Huansheng was afraid that Master Zhao's father would reveal his identity with a look, or a wrong word. Fortunately, everything went well, and he was just a false alarm.

Master Zhao laughed and said, "It's just a whim." Let's not talk about it, let's talk about returning to Zhao. ”

Lou saw that Master Zhao had finally gotten to the point, and asked, "What is Master Zhao's plan?" ”

Master Zhao smiled: "Le Yi has seen you." ”

When Lou heard this, he finally understood the reason why Le Yi appeared here. A few years ago, Lou Chuan and Le Yi teamed up to support King Qin. Lou slowly remembered that in Xianyang Palace, King Qin sincerely asked Le Yi to assist, and when he was politely refused, he was also full of curiosity about Le Yi.

When Lou saw Master Zhao's father leave Qin, even Le Yi took it into account. Lord Zhao's entry into Qin was really not a foolish decision made on a whim.

"Master Zhao, we have three routes to return to China." Le Yi took out the sheepskin in his arms and unfolded it in front of everyone, the map marked the mountains and rivers, the levels, and the return route drawn by Le Yi, "First, we went out of Xianyang City, went south to Wuguan, and entered the Chu State. From the state of Chu, through the state of Wei, to Handan. ”

Master Zhao shook his head and said: "From Xianyang, cross Wuguan, enter Chu State, go north through Wei State, and arrive in Handan. This line is too long. ”

Lou Xuan also said: "Qin and Chu are at loggerheads, and Wuguan has been closed. This line will not work either. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "What is the second route?" ”

"The second line is the line where we escort Qin Proton Ji to return to the country and succeed to the throne." Le Yi's finger moved on the map, and he said attentively: "We went out of Xianyang, arrived at the big river, did not go out of the Han Valley, went north, passed through the west of the Qin River, Shang County, arrived at Hexi County in our country, crossed the big river, passed through Lishi, Jinyang, and arrived in Handan. ”

Lou nodded slowly and said, "This line, although it is a lot of trouble, is very safe." Even if the Qin people found out about the identity of the master father and sent troops to pursue them, they would never have imagined that you would take this path. ”

Master Zhao shook his head and said, "This line is not exciting enough. ”

"The king of Chu was imprisoned in Zhangtai, and Jing Guojun returned to the country in embarrassment." Lou was about to cry without tears, and said helplessly: "It's good that Master Zhao can return to the country safely." Master Zhao is still looking for excitement. ”

Master Zhao saw Lou Xuan's face that wanted to cry without tears, and laughed: "Lonely, it's just talking. Slow down, don't get emotional. ”

Lou Fu didn't have a problem with Master Zhao's father, so he could only hold his breath and asked, "Le Yi, what is another route?" ”

Le Yi pointed to the map and said: "Out of Xianyang, through Hangu, go to Hedong, go to Jinyang, and arrive in Handan." ”

Lou said hurriedly: "No." The line is too dangerous. The combined forces of Qi, Han, and Wei are rushing to Hangu Pass, and it is not so easy to get out of Hangu. ”

Master Zhao high-fived and said, "I think this route is good, it is both exciting and challenging. Lonely, choose this route. ”

Seeing this, Lou said in his heart: "Master Zhao is too bold!" Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. ”

Zhao Xi hurriedly said: "Master Zhao, for the sake of safety, consider whether to choose the second line." ”

Lou said hurriedly: "The minister is also in favor of the second line. ”

Sima Wang's clan also heard about the King of Chu and Jing Guojun, and also said: "The minister is also in favor of the second line." ”

Seeing the nervous expressions of the three of them, Master Zhao smiled and said, "Qin Guo, are you so afraid?" ”

Lou replied slowly: "Master Zhao doesn't know the methods of the Qin people. ”

Master Zhao said with a smile: "Jing Guojun can leave Qin from Hangu Pass, lonely, why not." ”

Lou sighed slowly: "Jing Guojun was able to leave Qin safely and avoid the interception and killing of the Qin people, all of whom relied on the crowing of chickens and dog thieves. ”

Master Zhao's father was high-spirited, and his tone was full of strength, "Lonely, from Hangu, you should go from Hangu." Lonely to come in the scenery, but also to go in style. ”

Lou said hurriedly: "For the safety of Master Zhao's father, or..."

Master Zhao said coldly: "Lou slow, if you say it again." Lonely, just stay and never leave. ”

Lou slowly saw that Master Zhao was joking with his life, and felt helpless, and no longer insisted on his opinion, "As long as Master Zhao can leave Qin and return to Zhao, the minister has no opinion." ”

Master Zhao wanted to see Lou Xuan's expression at this moment, and laughed: "I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?" You just agree with Lone's proposition. ”

Lou slowly took Master Zhao's father, and his opponents Sima Wang, Zhao Xi and Le Yi saluted and said: "I will leave the matter of escorting Master Zhao's father back to the country, please leave it to you." ”

Zhao Xi asked, "General Lou Xuan, won't you go with us?" ”

Before Lou Shu could answer, Master Zhao smiled and said, "He has too many mouths, is lonely, and abandons him." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were full of astonishment.

Lou Chu was stunned by the words of Lord Zhao's father, and held back his internal injuries, and said with a wry smile: "I will stay to assist King Qin and fight for the interests of Zhao State." Even if the Qin people find out the identity of Lord Zhao's father, I can also deal with the Qin people and buy you time to leave Qin. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized. Master Zhao's father arranged for him to stay in order to meddle in Qin's internal affairs.

Zhao Suhou once said that only when the building is slow can it be a phase.

Lou Zhuan's talent and strategy are obvious to everyone. Whether it is to welcome the funeral of the five kingdoms, or to break the forest and Hu, cut down Zhongshan, attack the three Hu, or in Xianyang, the elder is angry and angry.

Lou is slow and talented, which is enough to deal with the situation in Qin. Besides? Qin Ren invited Lou to slow down into Qin Weixiang, he couldn't just leave silently!

Lou saluted slowly and said, "The safety of Lord Zhao's father is up to the three of you." ”

Everyone saluted and said, "Wow." ”

The next day, the sky was not clear, the roosters were crowing everywhere, and the gate of Xianyang was wide open.

Master Zhao's father rode the tall and mighty horses brought by the Sima Wang clan from Saibei, and said to Lou Zhuan: "Lou Zhuan, Lonely, when the Qin is broken, it will be the day you return to Zhao." This is the promise between Lone and you. You should take care of yourself in the Qin State. ”

A warmth surged in Lou Xuan's heart, and said with a smile: "The minister will live well, and I look forward to Lord Zhao's father stepping on Xianyang." ”

Master Zhao nodded, spurred his horse, and went out of Xianyang. Sima Wangzu, Zhao Xi, and Le Yi also said goodbye to Lou Zhuan briefly, and led the fifteen iron horsemen to chase after them.

Not long after Master Zhao's father left, Wei Ran appeared in the official post.

Lou asked calmly: "General Wei is here, why don't you report in advance." ”

Wei Ran hurriedly said: "I had a good chat with Zhao Envoy at the banquet last night, which was really refreshing. Today's uninvited is to drink with Zhao and dominate the world. ”

"The Qin people reacted so quickly." Lou Xuan's expression was not leaking, and he said with a smile: "Zhao Envoy was drunk last night and hasn't woken up yet. ”

Wei Ran didn't notice any changes on the other party's face, and asked, "When will Zhao Envoy wake up." ”

"I don't know." Lou replied lightly: "Maybe it's noon, maybe one day, maybe two days." I remember him once drinking and sleeping for seven days before waking up. ”

Wei Ran said tentatively: "Master Zhao's alcohol consumption is too bad. ”

When Lou heard this, he chuckled in his heart, immediately stabilized his mind, and said with a smile: "Zhao Envoy's amount of alcohol, how can it be compared to Master Zhao's father." ”

"In this way, Master Zhao is good at drinking."

"Master Zhao's father's drinking, the seven jars of Zhao wine are not drunk. We hit Sanhu and opened up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Hujiang. The main father was in Congtai Palace, gathered the ministers, drank and celebrated. On that day, Master Zhao's father drank ten jars of Zhao wine without getting drunk. ”

Wei Ran knew that the person in front of him was not simple, and he didn't want to continue to test it, so as not to leak information, so he chose to stop in moderation, and sighed: "Master Zhao can drink so much." ”

"Isn't it?" Lou said with a smile: "There is a chance, General Wei will go to Handan and fight with Master Zhao's father." ”

"I'm looking forward to that day." Wei Ran ended the topic appropriately, and said guiltily: "Zhao Envoy is drunk and hasn't woken up, so I won't bother much." When you two came to Xianyang, I haven't fulfilled the friendship of the host. If Zhao Envoy wakes up, I will invite you to drink and talk about the world again. ”

Lou said hurriedly: "I thanked General Wei on behalf of Zhao Envoy." ”

"I still have something to do, so I won't bother." Wei Ran glanced at the sun and saluted, "Farewell." ”

Lou saluted slowly: "Send General Wei." ”

Wei Ran left the official post and entered the Qin Palace in a hurry, and when he met the eighth son and the king of Qin, he said anxiously: "Sister is right, Zhao Envoy must be the father of Zhao."

"Sure enough, it's him." Mi Bazi's face suddenly turned cold, "Master Zhao actually spied on the Qin State as an envoy. ”

Wei Ran asked, "What should we do next?" ”

Mi Bazi's eyes showed murderous aura and said: "Go to the official post and arrest Master Zhao." I want to ask him why he didn't dare to show his true face and what was the purpose of coming to my Qin country. ”

"Oh no." Between the words, Qi Rong walked quickly, "I went to patrol Xianyang City, and the guards reported that less than half an hour after opening the city gate, nineteen horsemen rode out of the city. ”

Wei Ran asked with an uneasy expression, "Who are those people?" ”

Qi Rong replied: "The guards saw that those people were gorgeously dressed and had extraordinary appearances, and they didn't dare to come forward to ask. ”

"Nineteen horsemen?" Mi Bazi shouted, "It's not good. It must have been Master Zhao's father who found out that his identity was leaked and returned to China ahead of schedule. ”

Qi Rong asked, "How can my sister determine that it is Lord Zhao's father?" ”

Mi Bazi said: "Zhao Guo implements Hufu riding and shooting, and the Zhao men can't ride horses, so they will be made fun of." Although I have cavalry in Daqin, because we have always wanted to get close to the Central Plains, we mainly focus on chariot warfare. The cavalry is nothing more than what we use to deliver the war report. Those nineteen horsemen must be Lord Zhao's father. ”

Wei Ran asked: "Master Zhao is away from Qin, we can't chase after him." ”

"Letting go of a Jing Guo Jun is extremely harmful to the Qin State. Let go of another Zhao master's father, Qin Wei. "Master Zhao's entry into Qin must have been the idea of the Qin State, and it was also to prepare for the invasion of Qin. The return of Zhao's father to the country was immeasurable to the Qin State.

Thinking of Jing Guojun and being played with and applauded by Master Zhao, Mi Bazi suddenly filled his heart with anger, and said decisively: "We must not let Lord Father Zhao leave Qin, even if we can't capture him alive and return, we must not let Master Father Zhao leave Qin State alive." ”

"Whoa." Wei Ran led the order to turn around and walk out of the main hall, came to the barracks and shouted: "Bai Qi, order fifty soldiers, and you must ride and shoot the best." ”

Bai Qi asked, "What does General Wei want the cavalry to do?" ”

"Master Zhao has entered Qin, and we must not let him leave." Wei Ran shouted, "Go quickly." ”

"Whoa." Bai Qi hurriedly ordered fifty cavalry, and the wind and dust went out of Xianyang.

In other words, Master Zhao's father hurried to Hangu Pass.

Except for one person, the others wore bronze masks on their faces, armor hats with a crane tail on their heads, black robes, long swords at their waists, and black flags on their backs. There are four people at the head, and after Zhao Envoy, there are thirteen people behind, marching in two teams, majestic and daring.

The guards had never seen such a formation, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

Sima Wang's voice came out from under the bronze mask, "In the name of the Empress Dowager, send the Zhao envoy out of the customs and conclude an alliance with the Zhao State." ”

"Please show the edict of the Queen Mother." The guard added, "Take off your mask." ”

Le Yi said coldly: "Our faces can only be seen by the Queen Mother and General Wei. King Qin couldn't even look at it. When you look at our faces, you all die. ”

The Keeper swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, unable to make up his mind. At this time, one came and hurriedly said: "Let go." ”

"Don't you want to see our faces?" Le Yi said, ready to take off the bronze mask.

"Adults, don't take off your mask." The man hurriedly said, "You don't want to die." The Queen Mother once said that whoever saw the face of the black panther riding would have to die and destroy the three clans. ”

The guard will see that it is the majestic black panther riding beside the Queen Mother, how dare he stop it.

Le Yi scolded: "Don't get out of the way yet." ”

The defenders shouted, "Get out."

Master Zhao and the others left Hangu calmly.

The guard asked, "Why did you let them go?" ”

"You've lived enough." The man shouted: "The panther rider is loyal to the Queen Mother, and General Wei is in command, and anyone who sees it will die." The Queen Mother even sent out the Black Panther Rider, which is enough to see that the situation is urgent. ”

"Thanks to you, otherwise the brothers would have to die if they offended the Black Panther Rider and offended the Queen Mother."

Master Zhao's father went out of Hangu Pass, passed through Hedong County of Qin State, and arrived in Jinyang. Sima Wangzu saw that when he returned to the Zhao realm, there was no danger in this trip, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "The master father has entered Qin, but there is something to gain." ”

Master Zhao said: "Kill Qin." ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "How to cut down Qin." ”

"The terrain of Hangu Pass is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even with an army of millions, it is not easy to break through from the front. Master Zhao smiled: "My country is good at cavalry and archery, and I am lonely, and I use cavalry to defeat Qin." ”

As he spoke, Master Zhao handed over a sheepskin map. Sima Wangzu unfolded the map and saw that there were a few words written on it... Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, and Yanmen cut down Qin's strategy.

Master Zhao said: "The alliance forces of Qi, Han, and Wei are about to arrive in Hangu. We have to rush back to Handan as soon as possible to plan for the defeat of Qin. ”
