The attendants didn't know Gan Mao's reputation, but Su Li knew that if it was really Gan Mao, it would be really amazing, and it was unbelievable that the left minister of the Qin State had fallen to such a point.

Su Li hurriedly walked to the front, at this time an old man in ragged clothes was in conflict with the accompanying guards, Su Li hurriedly patted the plainclothes soldier who wanted to draw his sword, and his eyes had already fallen on the old man, and immediately asked, "Your Excellency is ......?"

Gan Mao saw the restraint shown between Su Li's behavior and words, and immediately determined that this person was in charge, so he bowed his hand and saluted back: "In Xia Ganmao, Zuoshi is in the Qin State, and now he has fled here, and he doesn't know what is ......."

"Your Excellency is really Gan Mao? Gan Mao, the left minister of Qin? Su Li asked again. Seeing that the other party sighed and nodded in acknowledgement, but after all, he had never seen Gan Mao's lineup, but his reputation was outside, and Su Li couldn't confirm it, so he invited him into the post station for a long talk, and it was roughly confirmed that Gan Mao was correct.

For a while, Su Li also sighed with emotion, he learned that Gan Mao's name was still when King Wu of Qin pulled out Yiyang, Qin broke through Yiyang City and the world was shaken, it was Gan Mao who led the Qin army to break the strong Yiyang City, and became famous.

Unexpectedly, a generation of famous generals of the Qin State and Prime Minister Zuo would fall into such a situation. Su Dai also roughly guessed one or two, King Wu of Qin Gong traveled to Luoyi, and died of a crown, if King Wu of Qin was alive, Gan Mao's career in Qin would be bright, and when would Nai die, it would not be surprising to have such a result now.

In the post station, Su Li and Gan Mao looked at each other on a table, and the wine and meat were displayed one after another, Su Li invited the bottle to drink, and then asked: "Why did Mr. Gan Mao stop me from going?" ”

Gan Mao glanced at the talisman on the other party's waist and shoulder, and then arched his hand: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it the envoy of the King of Qi to the Qin State?" ”

"It's true that the king of Qi ordered the envoys, but listening to Mr. Qi's tone, it seems that I am quite sure that I am going to envoy to the Qin State, why do you see that I am not going to defend the country? You must know that Qi and Wei are married to each other, and the mother of the current crown prince of Wei Guo is the princess of my Qi country. Su Li said curiously.

Gan Mao couldn't help but show a faint smile when he heard this, stroked his beard lightly, and said: "It's just that according to some speculations about the current situation today, now the Wei Guo has defeated the Chu State, which can be described as the sky, and the Zhao State is an iron alliance with each other, and the Zhao State is also a great image of Zhongxing, plus today's Sanjin is already a nostril outgas, dominating the Central Plains has become a general trend, the Three Jin Dynasty is entrenched in the Central Plains of the world, the east can resist Qi, the west can lock Qin, Fang today no country dares to fight against the Three Jin Dynasty alone, even if the strong Qin and strong Qi are difficult to stand alone. ”

Speaking of this, Gan Mao added with confidence: "The Qi State has been isolated on the coast of the East China Sea, if it does not unite with Qin, no one in this world will be able to compete with the Three Jins, and sooner or later it will be eaten up." ”

"Sir is very knowledgeable." Su Li patted the case and said, as soon as this statement came out, he became more convinced of Gan Mao's identity, even if he pretended to be Gan Mao, with this opinion, he could also get a glimpse of his wealth and talent, and then he felt suspicious: "With the talent of Mr. and the great contribution to Qin, why did he fall into such a situation?" ”

"The heavens of the Qin Kingdom have long since changed, and there is no place for me to stay. Today's Qin State is the Empress Dowager's government, and it is difficult to say that a relative is in power, and General Wei Ran is the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager in the north of Qin and Han in the south. With a sigh, Gan Mao showed an indescribable look, and Su Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

At this time, Gan Mao suddenly got up from the mat, immediately bowed to Su Li, and arched his hand: "There is something to ask for below, and I hope that Your Excellency can fulfill it, and Gan Mao is willing to repay the kindness of the rest of his life." ”

Su Li was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and handed over: "Mr. can't be so polite, in terms of seniority, Su Li wants to say Mr. Senior." After a pause, he immediately said, "Dare to ask Mr. Gan what is the difficulty?" If you can do it in the future, you will spare no effort. ”

Gan Mao thanked him again and again, and after Su Li invited him to take a seat, he said: "I can't hide it, I hurriedly escaped for fear of disaster, and there is no place for me so far." Suddenly, after a moment of silence, he continued: "I heard that a poor girl and a rich girl poked twine together, and the poor girl said, 'I have no money to buy candles, and your candlelight is fortunate to be left, please give me a little surplus of light, which will not affect your lighting, but will enable me to enjoy the candlelight with you.'" ”

After saying this story, Gan Mao looked at Su Li and said: "Now I am in an embarrassment, Your Excellency is in power and is sending an envoy to the Qin State, and his wife and children are still ......in the Qin State" Speaking of this, Gan Mao said very sincerely: "I implore Mr. Su to take some residual light to help them, and Gan Mao is willing to repay the kindness of the rest of his life with the rest of his life." ”

After speaking, Gan Mao bowed again.

Su Li thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and suddenly promised under Gan Mao's eager expectant expression: "Sir, don't panic, this matter is handed over to Su Li, since meeting Mr. is a relationship, naturally I can't sit idly by, Mr. has no place to live now, why don't you live in my house temporarily." This time in Qin, I decided to try my best to help Mr. ”

When Gan Mao heard the great joy, he quickly got up and bowed again: "Thank you so much, thank you so much!" ”

Su Dai agreed, and Gan Mao was also picked up to his mansion, and no one knew that the prime minister of Qin was secretly stationed in his Su Li's mansion. After settling Gan Mao, Su Li set off again.

Bumpy along the way, across thousands of mountains and rivers, the mission entered the border of the Sanjin Dynasty anonymously as a caravan, along the border of the Zhao State and finally arrived at Hangu Pass, and finally arrived at Xianyang Palace after a 12-day journey.

……

"What is the origin of this Su Li?" In the Xianyang Palace, King Qin Zhaoxiang and several courtiers of Han Nie and Wei Ran discussed in the inner hall, Su Li came to Qin as a special envoy of Qi, and the runes submitted had already been read, and Qi meant that he wanted to form an alliance with Qin.

Han Nie arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, as far as your subordinates know, Su Li is the younger brother of Su Qin and Su Dai, and these three brothers are all under the Qi Kingdom, and are known as the three Su Junjie today. The young Yingji nodded suddenly: "I see, Su Qin and Su Dai are both Zongheng people, I think this Su Li is also a member of the Zongheng family, and his two brothers are rare talents in the world, and this Su Li's talent is not much worse." ”

"What does the king think about the Qi State coming to form an alliance with my Qin State?" Wei Ran asked.

"What do you think?" Yingji asked rhetorically. Wei Ran was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "The situation in the world is unpredictable, and now the return of the three Jin Dynasty to one has become the biggest constraint for my Great Qin Dongfang, with the current trend of the Three Jin Dynasty dominating the Central Plains, it is difficult for a single Qin country to compete with it, and it is difficult for a single country to resist it." What's more, the three Jin can control Qi in the east and Qin in the west, and Qin Qi is difficult to be alone. ”

"Then according to the meaning of the Marquis, Qin Qi should be an alliance?" Yingji asked again.

"Only when the Qin and Qi countries are allied with each other can they balance the Three Jins."
