Chapter 168: Friend and Foe

When Han Kui accompanied the Duke of Qin back to the Qin Palace, Chu Zhuang was the one who escorted Han Kui back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Wancheng.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Zhuang Don't think that Engong is actually in the position of a country, and this time the assassin who lured and assassinated Engong is a gift!"

When Han Kui entered the mansion, Chu Zhuang's hearty laughter rang out.

Han Kui asked the doormen in the mansion to arrange all the rangers carried by Chu Zhuang into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and carried Chu Zhuang into the inner house himself.

"Chu Zhuang, you came this time, can the old mother at home arrange it properly?" Han Kui asked.

Chu Zhuang responded: "The family is fine, Yecheng is no longer as chaotic as when Engong left, Lord Ximen has suppressed the local old clan, and is deeply trusted by Wei Hou!" ”

"Although Yecheng is a mixture of fish and dragons, according to Ximen Leopard's ability, it is more than enough to govern a Yecheng, but Wei Hou actually handed over Yecheng to Ximen Leopard, it seems that Wei Hou is also not small!" Han Kui sighed, he knew that Yecheng's position in Wei was a place that was not guarded for a long time, and Wei Hou must have his own plans to place such talents as Ximen Leopard in Yecheng.

Hearing Han Kui say this, Chu Zhuang also said: "Engong, do you know who the minister of Wei is now?" ”

Han Kui said: "Isn't it Wei Chengzi?" ”

Chu Zhuang said with a smile: "Engong is wrong, today's I Wei Marquis is not like the nepotism of several generations of Wei ancestors, and now the minister of Wei is Zhai Huang!" It is Lord Zhai Huang who appreciates Engong and Lord Ximen! ”

"Zhai Huang......" Han Kui's expression was a little unpredictable when he heard this, and he immediately sighed: "Wei is already the head of the Three Jin Dynasty, and it has become an inevitable trend to appoint Mr. Zhai Huang as the prime minister and win the Central Plains!" ”

Chu Zhuang persuaded Han Kui at an inopportune time: "Engong, this time I came here to persuade Engong to return to Wei at the behest of Lord Ximen, both the recommendation of Lord Ximen and the appreciation of Zhai Huang, Engong must have made great achievements in Wei!" ”

Han Kui raised his head and looked at Chu Zhuang, and said with a firm expression: "It's okay to die at night, Chu Zhuang, you don't understand, a certain has nothing to do with Qiang Wei, and now that the Duke of Qin is reused, how can he turn his back on the Duke of Qin, don't say such things again, the province is used by people with a heart in the land of right and wrong!" ”

When Chu Zhuang heard this, although he didn't understand the tricks of power and strategy, Chu Zhuang knew Han Kui's character, and sighed at the moment: "How could Chu Zhuang not know Engong's intentions, but Engong, this time he came to Qin State, what he saw and heard along the way, the people were not clothed and fed, and they were no different from the places outside the fortress. ”

Han Kui shook his head and said: "Chu Zhuang, do you know, Great Qin has experienced two national wars at present, but it has not yet fallen, the world is underestimating the Qin people's desire to survive, such a Great Qin does not change, a change can naturally attract the attention of the world, the current situation of Great Qin is indeed starving in the wilderness, but along the way, have you heard that the Qin people complained about their monarch?" ”

Chu Zhuangxin said bluntly: "This is not ......"

"The current situation of Great Qin is not related to whether their monarch is virtuous or not, under internal and external difficulties, it is not easy for the Qin people to come to this point, and besides, it is ...... What is in the Central Plains, the Qin State can have, but what Great Qin has, the Central Plains may not necessarily have seen or heard. ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty ......" Chu Zhuang said: "Although the Qin people are fierce and murderous, they are brute force after all, and there is no skill in fighting and killing, and the local heroes of Qin State can't even compare with the rangers of the Three Jins, let alone the rangers in the land of Qilu!" ”

"These are all things that can be cultivated!" Han Kui sighed slowly, and then led the topic to today's day of assassination, and thanked: "Thank you for today, otherwise these old clans of the Qin State would be busy snickering now......

Chu Zhuang touched his head and replied: "Engong, I am really ashamed of this matter today, and it is not only these people who defend Engong. ”

Han Kui turned his head to look at Chu Zhuang, as if he didn't understand what this sentence meant, and the latter also said another sentence, "Engong, a certain person who entered the territory of Great Qin was actually assassinated by the Great Qin Yi Stack, and fled afterwards, and a bounty worth ten gold was actually hung out on the Yi Stack, and now many rangers in Great Qin are staring at this head!" ”

"How so!" Han Kui was a little outside, he had been powerful in the rivers and lakes for many years, so he naturally knew about the righteous stack and the bounty, so he was very puzzled: "A certain recruitment of you into Qin is a secret matter, except for you and me, it is impossible for anyone else to leak this news...... Wrong! ”

Han Kui turned his head to look at Chu Zhuang and said, "In the past few days, you have been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days, don't go out and show your face......"

Seeing Han Kui's demeanor, Chu Zhuang also waved his hand, picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all, before he smiled and said: "Haha, Engong doesn't have to be nervous, Daqin's righteous stack is a friend but not an enemy!" ”

Chu Zhuang swallowed another sip of wine, and then slowly said: "That day, he assassinated a certain person in Yizhan, and when he assassinated him today, he also saw it, but Engong, at that time, I saw that they killed a few assassins who assassinated us and hurriedly retreated, at that time, it must have been to defend Engong and Qin Jun, so killing a few of them was regarded as avenging their brother who had been killed by mistake, and he didn't do anything, so he deduced that Daqin Yizhan was secretly assisting Engong, but looking at Engong's reaction at the moment, Looks like I don't know about it......"

"It's true that I don't know ......" Han Kui thought about it carefully, although he had been in contact with Daqin's Yizhan a few times before, but it was still an occasional few times before he stepped into Qin's career, and he didn't pay much attention after that, but Han Kui did think about it with his heart, and he really didn't have the slightest thought to figure out who was in Daqin's Yizhan hands, why did he want to protect himself?!

"Engong, it's someone under someone!"

Suddenly, seeing a noisy sound outside the door, Chu Zhuang said to Han Kui.

Only then did Han Kui come back to his senses, it turned out that it was a few guards at the door who stopped a figure, which was quite refined and thin.

Han Kui let him in, the ranger has the rules of a ranger, the man just saw Chu Zhuang and nodded secretly and left, walking like the wind, extremely fast.

After the man left, Chu Zhuang explained to Han Kui: "Engong, this person is a hidden man who follows a certain person, reacts quickly, and his foot strength is also good, he is a person from Zhao State...... There is also the blood of Huaxia and Hu people in his body, and he is often sent out to find out the news. ”

"As expected, after the assassination, it was revealed that it was a person from Engong's side, and the reward of the Great Qin Yizhan was finally taken off the shelves!"

Hearing Chu Zhuang say this, Han Kui still didn't understand something, several things before and after were connected, and at the moment, he knew that Daqin Yizhan was indeed intending to defend himself, and it seemed that he was indeed a friend rather than an enemy.
