Emperor Tianbao is far less wise than Emperor Qiyuan, although he is also smart enough, but his pattern is destined to be inferior to Emperor Qiyuan.

Chen Le peeked at Zhao Xun and said: "Your Majesty, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, the minister thinks that the Qi Hou country is a lot of land, the Qi Hou is seriously ill, and the court is in chaos, it is a good time for Your Majesty to recover this land!" ”

"Oh, Qingzhi, let's talk about ......" Zhao Xiang suddenly came to his senses when he heard this: "If I remember correctly, you can be regarded as the closest person to the bloodline of King Qi today, if King Qi dies of illness, you are the person who has the best chance to become the next King of Qi!" ”

"Don't dare to die!" Chen Le hurriedly made a panicked look and said: "The minister is loyal to Your Majesty, there is no second heart, please also ask Your Majesty to be clear!" ”

"Hahaha, Qingzhi, I'm joking with you!" Zhao Xun snorted: "Tell me what you think!" ”

Chen Le nodded, and began to recount the remarks that he had already thought of in his heart.

After a while, Zhao Xun looked at Chen Le with a strange expression: "Qingzhi, I also know a thing or two about Qi Guo, your cousin has been vacated by the Wang Yan family, if it is really passed on to you, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing!" ”

Chen Le hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never thought of being called the king of Qi, the minister is just the champion of Daxu, Your Majesty's pawn, no matter how dangerous it is, the minister will recover the Marquis of Qi back, just like the recovery of the Western Regions Protectorate that day!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I gambled on this matter, ah no, I promised, when I draw up a secret decree for you, you can rest assured to do it!" ”

Zhao Xian drafted a will after a while, asked the eunuch Zhang Rang to cover the jade seal, and then handed it to Chen Le.

"Qingzhi, if it's really like what you planned, I hope you don't forget what you said today!"

Chen Le said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will never be the king of Qi, and the minister will always be the champion of Daxu!" ”

Watching Chen Le leave with the holy decree in his hand, Zhao Xun looked at Zhang Rang: "Zhang Rang, what do you think?" ”

Eunuch Zhang Rang bowed his head and said: "Although the old slave originally had some opinions about the champion Hou when he was in the Jixia School Palace, but in the past few years, the old minister has indeed discovered that the champion Hou has never said anything, without a word of lie, and the old slave can also see that the champion Hou is indeed loyal to His Majesty, otherwise, this letter will definitely not be shown to His Majesty." ”

"It's enough to be loyal to me, it's enough to be loyal to me, after me, let him flood the sky, hahaha!" Zhao Xun laughed, but his face suddenly flushed inexplicably, and then he frowned, reached out to cover his mouth, and saw a trace of bright red blood seeping out from between his fingers......

In Chen's mansion, in the lakeside pavilion of the Jiuqu Corridor, it was the end of autumn, and the cold wind was biting, but Chen Le was sitting on a stone chair looking at a letter in his hand.

This is the second letter from Qi Guolai, but it is not written by the old Zongzheng Chen Bei, but the handwritten letter of the current King of Qi.

After reading this letter, Chen Le couldn't help sighing, this letter from King Qi was very sad, and even said that it was very miserable.

He was not very impressed with King Qi, he went to Lu'er Mountain at the age of twelve, and he had never met this King of Qi a few times before he was twelve years old, and he could even say that he had never even spoken.

In the letter, the king of Qi called Chen Le a brother, which was originally a bit abrupt, but Chen Le deeply felt the sadness between the lines, it was definitely not a fake, this King of Qi had indeed reached a desperate situation.

"Then ...... Let's go back! Chen Le slowly stood up and took the letter into his arms.

Chen Le secretly went out of Beijing, he didn't bring a large army, only Cheng Tieshi, Shi Jingsi, and the nine hundred feather forests.

The whole court was up and down, and only Zhao Xiang knew that Chen Le had left, and the Chen Mansion claimed to the outside world that the champion Hou was ill and it was inconvenient to see guests, so he refused to meet anyone who visited him.

Chen Le's group is all the elite of the elite, the leader of the Nine Hundred Feather Forest named Shi Jingsi, although his martial arts are not as good as Li Cunxiao, but he is also a strong general, he is a natural martial arts embryo, and he is a second-rate military general who is systematically judged, and he is already a few enemies.

If Chen Le and the others want to go to the Qi Kingdom, they must pass through the Zhao Kingdom, otherwise they will have to go far away from the Yan Kingdom, and the long way to go to the Yan Kingdom is not to mention, there is no practical meaning.

At least, Chen Le still has the token given by Zeng Gong in his hand now, although it is not completely unimpeded, but it is still passable in most places in Zhao State, and after all, Zhao State and Da Xu are of the same origin, and the contradiction is not as deep as that of other vassal states, so Chen Le still chooses to enter Qi from Zhao State.

Before he left, he sent someone to send out three letters, one for Zeng Gong of Daliang City, one for Lao Zongzheng, and one for Zhang's family in Daoling Mountain.

The letter to Zeng Gong is very simple, in addition to the polite greetings, it probably means that I want to pass through the border, and I hope Zeng Gong will think of a way not to stop me in the territory of Zhao State.

And the letter to Lao Zongzheng is very complicated, Chen Lezhi regards Lao Zongzheng as the closest person in the world, so many things are not polite, including how to enter Qi from the border, how to meet the king of Qi, I hope that Lao Zongzheng has a complete plan and will not be known by the Wang and Yan families.

As for the third letter, it is for the Zhang family of Daoling Mountain, Chen Le has secretly letter to the Zhang family after Daxu has obtained the champion of civil and military affairs, indicating his true identity, which is the clan of Qi State, the Zhang family was surprised and delighted after learning the truth, and notified the Shanyi people of the news, because of Chen Le's identity, the relationship between the Zhang family and the Shanyi people is actually one step closer.

And on this letter to the Zhang family this time, Chen Le only wrote eight big words: The mountain rain is coming, get ready!

Not long after Chen Le's more than 900 people entered the Zhao Kingdom, they actually met Zeng Sangongzi to greet him, Chen Le was deeply impressed by this Zeng Sangongzi, and thought that he had won a lot of things for him back then.

The third prince of Zeng took the Zeng family and escorted Chen Le to thirty miles from the border of Qi before leaving, and Chen Le then led people to rush to the customs.

In fact, this is not a rush, because the border that Zeng Sangongzi brought him to this border is not guarded by too many soldiers, and the terrain here is not significant, let alone a battleground, so after Chen Le led his troops to rush over, those scattered soldiers reacted, but it is a pity that the mounts of these people are one in a million, how can these border soldiers catch up, just a moment later, Chen Le and the others disappeared without a trace.

The meeting place agreed between Chen Le and Lao Zongzheng in the letter is not far from here, but it needs to bypass a city, although this city is also passable, but the nine hundred of them are too eye-catching, and they can't explain the origin at all, so in the end Chen Le decided to detour, although it is farther, but at least it will not startle the snake.

An hour later, Chen Le and the others bypassed the pass and came to a canyon.

This canyon is called Red Leaf Valley, and it is the place where Chen Le and Lao Zongzheng agreed to connect!
