Tao Qiu, when Dai Yan received that he was about to remove the Great Xingren from the throne and would be held hostage to Qi as the proton of the Song State, he was not surprised at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When he refused to sign the unequal treaty between Song and Qi, he expected that he would no longer be able to hold the position of Daxingren. However, as a proton being questioned by Qi, it still made him feel a little surprised.

Although he is now a proton, his fief will not be taken back.

So he ordered the giant Tian Jiu and the farmer's Xu Xing to stay in Fengyi to help him take care of the affairs in the fief, and he personally took a hundred wanderers and fifty cars to embark on the road to the Qi country.

Among the travelers who followed him, there were not only people like Tang Ying and Tian Buli who had followed Dai Yan at the beginning, but also the Mo family and the peasant family also sent their own elites to follow him. The Mo family sent Tangzi, and the farmer sent Chen Xiang, both of whom were elites under the two families who were the only leaders.

In addition, there were also scholars who later defected to Dai Yan and merchants who admired Dai Yan very much to accompany him.

When Dai Yan left the Song Kingdom, not only his elder brother Junzi Xi came to see him off. Xiangguo Lecheng, Dasi Kou Huarong, and Xiang She, who had been in the foreign army and finally returned to China, also came. Not only that, Suiyang City is also empty alleys. Especially the small and medium-sized nobles and low-level commoners of the Song Kingdom, they all lamented that a virtuous son like Dai Yan could not be used by the country, but he had to go to Qi as a hostage.

Dai Yan was not dissatisfied with such a result. In his opinion, he has refused to bear the reputation of "losing power and humiliating the country" for the monarch. So in order to make up for his trust in the monarch, he will go to bear the blame for the nephew of this body again, in order to redeem the trust of the monarch, for him, it is still cost-effective.

As a proton, there will always be a day when I can return to China. Once he successfully returns to the country, then with his strong prestige, he will soon be able to regain his high position in the Song Kingdom, and he will be able to plan for the Song Kingdom again.

At the farewell ceremony, the smiles of Xiangguo Lecheng and Dasi Kou Huarong have always been a little weird, but Dai Yan didn't take them to heart at all. And he, too, will soon pay for his negligence!

Linzi, in the palace of King Qi, Tian Ying began to report big and small things to King Tian Yin Qi of Qi.

Since Tian Ying mobilized the army of Qi to Xueyi and cut a hundred miles of land in the East China Sea from the Song State, the king of Qi and the whole country of Qi were impressed by this prince. In the eyes of the people of Qi, this is the real soldier who surrenders without a fight!

The traditional tradition of the Qi State is to "respect the virtuous and meritorious", which is a tradition that has been handed down by the Qi State since Jiang Taigong. Tian Ying is also the son of King Qi, so he is even more favored. In recognition of his merits, the king of Qi personally appointed him as the secretary and sealed his fief in Xuedi.

"Father, the biggest thing that has happened in the world now is that Qin is king. The king of Wei honored Qin Jun as king, and Zhao and Han both sent envoys to congratulate him. What should we do about this? Tian Ying asked King Qi for instructions.

"The Qin State is also the king, and there is another king in the world. You sent someone to recall the envoy of our Qi State in Qin, and said to the King of Qin: Qin is a remote and small state, and it is even delusional to be the king! The State of Qi will definitely not recognize the throne of the State of Qin! King Qi replied after only a little thought.

"Father, we don't recognize the throne of King Qin; But if our envoys in the Qin State are recalled, this is almost the same as a declaration of war. Tian Ying persuaded him.

"My Qi State and Qin State are separated by Han and Wei, and they do not border with him Qin State, even if we declare war on Qin State, what can he Qin State do to me? The situation of the Qin State, I have also heard from the Bachelor of Jixia. After more than 20 years of Shang Ying's reform, its country does not cultivate culture and education, and its people only know how to cultivate and war, which is simply a barbaric country! Such a country is like a tiger and a wolf, and it would be better for my Qi country to put aside relations with them as soon as possible! King Qi said in a deep voice.

"Father's words are very true! I have a school palace in Qi country, and the prosperity of culture and education in my country is even greater than that of three generations! A barbaric country like Qin that does not cultivate culture and religion, it is better to dissociate itself from them as soon as possible. Later, the sons and daughters ordered to recall the envoys of our Qi State to the Qin State. Father, son, and minister, there is still one thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. Tian Ying said.

"When did you sell your son to your father like this? If you have something to say, just say it! ”

"Father, although my Qi Kingdom has newly obtained 100 miles of land in the East China Sea, the foundation of the Song Kingdom has not been damaged after all. And the son of the Song State is the most determined person in the Song State against my Qi State. As long as he is there, my Qi State will not be able to annex the land of the Song State. If Ziyan is in the Song Kingdom, we really can't do anything about him; Now that he has come to our Qi country as a hostage, this is a good time to get rid of him! The son begged his father to kill Ziyan to prevent the future disaster of my Qi country! Tian Ying pretended to hesitate again and again before he made up his mind and said to King Qi.

"If you think you can do this kind of small thing, then you can do it yourself." King Qi said with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that the King of Qi agreed to kill the proton of the Song State by himself, Tian Ying finally reported some of the things that happened in the Qi State to the King of Qi, and quickly retired to handle the matter in person.

As soon as he returned to his mansion, he summoned his chief retainer Qi Maung to defend him. He personally wrote a letter to Qi Maungbi and said to him: "This is my letter to Dr. Pinglu. You bring this letter to him, and ask him to do what I ask, and be sure to kill Ziyan!" ”

"No!" Qi Maungbi has been waiting for this moment for a long time. As soon as he got the letter, he couldn't wait to start rushing to Pinglu to run errands.

However, Tian Ying and Qi Maungbi didn't notice it at all, and the conversation they thought was private had fallen into the ears of others.

Tian Ying, as a powerful person in the current Qi State, has countless scholars coming to him every day. And the one who heard Tian Ying and Qi Maungbi talking was such an ordinary Qi Guoshi.

Qi has been a prosperous country in the east of the sea since the founding of the country, and the Qi people are especially "boastful". The scholar who got the news didn't pay attention at first, but when a friend invited him to drink and have fun in the Nulu of Qi State in the evening, he also followed.

When everyone drinks and has fun together, it is natural to say something interesting to attract attention. When his friend had made a few strange remarks, it was the scholar's turn to speak. He also told the news that Tian Ying was going to kill Ziyan: "Do you all know, why did this Jing Guojun kill this Gongzi Yan of the Song Kingdom? I tell you privately, don't say it. This is all because there is a peerless beauty under Ziyan, when Jing Guojun went to the Song Kingdom, he met him once, and he was amazed by that woman! Jing Guojun begged for it, but it was ridiculous that he didn't know how much he could, and he dared to openly refuse! If Ziyan had stayed in the Song Kingdom, Jing Guojun really couldn't do anything about him; Now that this son has come to our Qi country, think about who else can shelter him? ”

Naturally, the people of Qi often hear such boasts, and they just laugh at it, which is not surprising at all. However, these people didn't notice that the two young people sitting next to each other were shocked when they heard such news.

Soon, a heroic young man at the next table walked up to this person and asked the scholar who told the news: "This gentleman, I don't know where you heard the statement that Jing Guojun was going to kill the prince of Song Guo just now?" Is this true? ”

Seeing that someone dared to question his words, the scholar was furious and said, "Do you think I am lying and boasting? Tell you, I am the most important guest under Jing Guojun, this is the news I heard with my own ears! After a few days, when the news of the death of the prince of Song Guo came out, you would know that what I said was true! ”

When the young man saw the smell of alcohol on this person's body, he obviously looked like he had drunk too much and couldn't hide his words, and he also knew that his words could not be faked. So he threw his hand at the man and said, "Excuse me! I'm just curious about it. With that, the man returned to his seat.

There were five people around the boy, plus himself. He said to one of them, who was slender and handsome, "Brother, it seems that we are drinking here, and we have inadvertently got a big news." This Jing Guo Jun wants to kill your opponent. ”

"Hey, this Qi country really looks bright on the face, but it's dirty on the inside. That's it, for the sake of that coward who once dared to fight hard, this father. The Son will save his life. The unusually handsome young man said.

After speaking, he instructed a person beside him: "Qiu Li, you immediately ride a fast horse south, and be sure to tell him the news that Tian Ying is going to kill Ziyan before the Qi people." As for what to do after this Ziyan receives the news, it's none of our business. I'm curious, how will this coward fight so hard? ”

After this person finished speaking, he casually picked up a bowl of Qi wine and drank it in one gulp! Then he felt that some of his wine remained at the corners of his mouth, so he took his hand casually and gently brushed the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, such a casual movement was made very casually in his hands, but to outsiders it looked extremely elegant!
