Chapter Sixty-Eight: All Sons Help Each Other, and Things Are Done in Secret
Xiao Chuan introduced Yingque to Chu Nangong, and Nangong laughed and teased Xiao Chuan, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I haven't heard of Xiao Chuan, but I didn't expect it to be accompanied by a beautiful woman." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Yi Xiaochuan hurriedly explained to Nangong that he and Yingque came to Handan together because of something, and Xiaochuan roughly mentioned to Nangong how he came to Qin after leaving Qi State.
Nangong said curiously, "Oh, so to speak, Xiaochuan came to Handan this time to look for a medicine?" β
"Don't hide it from Nangong, a brother I know has a strange poison in his body, and he has found many doctors, and those people said that my brother is probably useless in medicine and food, and then I heard that people said that it was a strange medicine toad, saying that if you get this medicine, you will be able to cure all kinds of poisons, so I came to Zhao with her and wanted to find this medicine."
Ying Que also said: "Que'er's brother has a strange poison in his body, thanks to Xiaochuan's righteous help, I am willing to accompany Que'er to find medicine here." β
Nan Gong smiled: "It seems that Que'er's brother is also very human." β
Ying Que said, "I won't tell you, Que'er's brother has an important position, but he has a resolute personality and is not afraid of the powerful, although he is not enough for others, but he is all of Que'er, life and death, Que Er does not dare to take it lightly, if there is a glimmer of hope, he will work hard a hundred times to get the health of his brother." β
Chu Nangong stroked his beard and said, "Good boy, you are right, the health of your relatives is more important than anything else, but this sea of people is vast, where do you have to find this medicine." β
At this moment, several people heard a hurried footstep coming from outside, the three turned their heads to look, Nan Gong beckoned to the man, and the man hurriedly walked towards the three of them.
After the man bowed to Nan Gong, he was guided by Nan Gong and arched his hand to Xiao Chuan and Yingque.
Nangong introduced, "This is Qingji, but the proud disciple of senior brother Zou Yan, this is Yi Xiaochuan, he is Zhuang Zhou's senior apprentice, and the one next to him is Que'er girl." β
The man named Qingji arched his hand at Xiaochuan and Yingque and said, "It turned out to be Zhuang Zhou's high apprentice, in Xia Qingji, I heard my uncle mention it earlier, I can see you today, I am fortunate to meet, I am fortunate to be happy." β
Xiao Chuan returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, it's Xiao Chuan's honor to see his brother." β
Nangong asked Qingji, "You have been in Zhao for a long time, have you ever heard of a medicine called Toad?" β
Qingji said, "Toad, does Brother Xiaochuan need this medicine?" β
Yi Xiaochuan was surprised: "Could it be that Brother Tai has heard of this medicine?" β
Qingji nodded and said, "This is a coincidence, King Zhao hired me as Gongziqi's master, Gongziqi's body is weak, and he needs to detoxify toad crisp every ten months to save his life. β
Yingque said anxiously, "This Brother Qing, I don't know if you can help me find some toads, my brother is also highly poisonous, and his life is on the verge of death, and he urgently needs toads to save his life." β
Nangong informed Qingji of the conversation between the previous few people, and Qingji said after hearing this, "Well, this medicine is very precious, extremely rare, even in Zhao Palace, I heard that Uncle Shi said that since you need it so much, then I will try to find a way to help you find some back." β
Yi Xiaochuan and Yingque hurriedly got up and bowed to Qingji, Qingji quickly got up and helped the two of them, he said, "It's a trivial matter, I can't afford such a big worship, the two of you, please wait, I will immediately enter the palace to find Toad." β
Chu Nan said fairly, "Okay, then you go quickly, Xiaochuan and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's catch up here, and by the way, I'll wait for you to retrieve the toad." β
Qingji nodded and said, "Then please ask Uncle Shi and Brother Xiaochuan, as well as Miss Que'er, and Qingji will be back in a while." β
After Qingji left, Chu Nangong, Xiaochuan, and Yingque sat and waited for a long time, until sunset, when they saw the returning Qingji, Qingji took out the toad crisp from his arms and handed it to Xiaochuan, Xiaochuan signaled Yingque to take the toad crisp fruit, and nodded after seeing Yingque carefully inspected, Xiaochuan deeply bowed to Nangong and Qingji, "Thank you, my brother can finally save his life." β
Yingque also bowed deeply with Xiaochuan.
Qingji helped the two of them up and smiled, "Don't say that, it's just a gesture." β
Several people sat down one after another, and Nangong asked, "Seeing that you haven't returned for a long time, Brother Xiaochuan and Miss Que'er have been very worried." β
Qingji said, "Well, today I entered the palace and found that the atmosphere in the palace was strange, and after inquiring, I learned that Zhao had sent Zhao Hao to command 80,000 troops to prepare to attack Qin, and now Qin and Han, Wei, and Eastern Zhou allied forces confronted each other in Yique, and the northern defense line of Qin was lax, and Zhao was ready to attack Qin, in order to repay Qin for his clever words and plotting to seize Zhao and his family. β
Nan Gong stroked his beard and said, "The King of Qin bullies the weak, and the King of Zhao is not, but when he faces the strong Qin, he is only a few points shorter, and at this moment, the Qin State has no chance of winning for a long time in the face of the alliance of Han, Wei and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the King of Zhao naturally wants to take advantage of the fire to rob in order to avenge the revenge of the clan." β
The three of them nodded in agreement.
Qingji said: "Then Uncle Shi thinks that the Qin State and the Zhao State have a better chance of winning this battle?" β
Nan Gong smiled and said, "Zhao Guo took the initiative to attack this time, naturally he calculated the odds of victory and did it generously, and Qin State's passive defense belonged to the battle without a fight, and this time Zhao Guo fought against the old general Zhao Hao, he fought in the south and north for decades, and he rarely heard of him since the return of Zhao's father, but this time he was invited by King Zhao to go to Qin State, presumably for his own reasons. β
Chu Nangong's words made Yi Xiaochuan and Yingque, who were very anxious before, suddenly find a glimmer of light, Yingque was not familiar with them, she gave Xiaochuan a look, Yi Xiaochuan blinked and said that he understood, he asked Nangong, "According to what you see, isn't the Qin State in danger this time?" β
Nan Gongdao "That's not necessarily, the combat power of the Qin people is also extraordinary, as far as I can see, although Zhao State occupies the initiative, but Qin State is not without the power of backhand, Qin State Sima Coo and other famous generals have not fought in Yique this time, and the Qin people are still martial, at this time Zhao State attacked Qin, what kind of benefits are at stake in Qin, Qin people know better than anyone else, if they are defeated, I am afraid that Qin State will be difficult to peace." β

Xiao Chuan and Ying Que just sent Nan Gong and Qingji away, the two returned to the inn, and just about to rest, they saw a man wearing a short arrow come forward, he took out the token and showed it to the two, Xiao Chuan and Ying Que quickly took him back to the room.
Yingque asked, "Are you?" β
"Humble Murrich, I have been waiting for you for a long time, the patriarch has already sent me a book, and asked me to help you two get toad cakes."
Yi Xiaochuan asked, "Are you a shadow?" β
"Yes, I was appointed by the patriarch to come to Zhao to serve as a guard, and after the Dune Rebellion, the patriarch ordered me to continue to hide in the Zhao military camp."
Yingque said: "Toad, how do you know?" β
Murridge said, "The humble position is now under the account of Zhao Guo Lian Po, after General Ying was poisoned, in order to prevent Zhao Guo from learning about the opportunity to attack my Qin State, the patriarch ordered me to give Lian Po some insufficient fatal **." β
Xiao Chuan nodded and said, "It seems that the patriarch is thoughtful, she informed you that it was **, which not only preserved your safety, but also had the effect of controlling the enemy." β
Murridge said: "What Ogawa said is true. A few days ago, Zhao Guo learned that General Ying had a strange poison in his body and had been ready to move, especially after Lin Xiangru returned to Zhao, King Zhao immediately prepared to summon Lian Po, and heard that Lian Po was not in good health and could not get up for many days, and the special doctor went to investigate, and found that Lian Po was highly poisonous, so King Zhao ordered the palace people to send the toad to the barracks, and Lian Po took it for only three days, and he was cured. β
Ying Que sneered: "The reckless man's physical fitness is not bad. β
Yi Xiaochuan said: "Lin Xiangru heard that he has been appointed as the prime minister by King Zhao?" β
"Yes," Murridge said. β
Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Then King Zhao must understand that the Qin State also needs toad crisp very much." β
Murridge said, "I understand what you mean, King Zhao and the others naturally know that they can poison Lian Po, and they must be the people around Lian Po." They must have used the toad as bait to lure me into taking the bait. β
Yingque said, "No wonder Qingji just said to us, Zhao Gong suddenly strengthened his vigilance. β
Morich "also told the patriarch of this suspicion." β
Xiao Chuan said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, your patriarch is such a smart person, even if you don't tell her, how can she not understand what is going on here, the patriarch has already told us that this is a trap before we came, but she also has no other choice, in order to save General Ying, even if it is a trap, she must not escape." β
"Humble duty understands."
Yi Xiaochuan said with a smile: "It seems that we are really lucky to be able to meet Chu Nangong and Qingji on this trip." β
Ying Que nodded and said, "Since we got the toad crisp, let's go quickly." β
Xiao Chuan said: "No, if we leave like this, I'm afraid that Qingji will cause trouble." β
Yingque frowned and said, "Why?" β
"You forget, Qingji may not be conspicuous if he takes this medicine at ordinary times, but at this moment, so many people are staring at Toad, if Zhao Qi suddenly becomes ill, and there is no Toad Crisp medicine, wouldn't it be to show the stuffing."
Ying Que thought about it and said, "That's it, I'll go into the Zhao Palace with Qingji tomorrow to see if I can find some other medicine to replace him, I think he has been sick all the year round, as long as he can stabilize his condition, then this matter will not be exposed." β
Xiao Chuan nodded approvingly, "That's very good." β
Ying Que said, "Morich, do you have anyone else available?" β
Murridge said, "In order to facilitate contact, there are still a few people under the lowly who can be sent." β
Ying Que took out the toad crisp and handed it to Murridge and said, "You sent someone to send this medicine to the patriarch overnight." β
"No." Murridge took the medicine and hurried away.
Ying Que said, "The soldiers of Zhao State are pressing the border, what can I do about this?" β
"Even if we rush back immediately at this moment, it won't have any effect, because although the Qin Palace doesn't want to be defeated, but it wants to get rid of dissidents, for today's only plan, the bell must be tied to the bell, Zhao Hao is the person of the Zhao Wuling King, and it is not difficult to remove it, it seems that our trip to the Zhao Palace is decided."
"No wonder my sister said something, before victory and defeat or something like that."
"Yes, there have been too many heroes throughout the ages, all of whom are better than defeating the battlefield and defeating the rear, your sister is right, I think if you Qin people can work together, even if the war in Yique is tight, the Qin Palace can still mobilize troops to fight against the Zhao army, however, at this moment, the Qin Palace, I am afraid that I am only thinking about how to use this war to clear out Yingjun, and even cleanse your Ying clan."
"Then can't we come to Yingji?"
"Well, although it is possible, but if I am him, I am afraid that I am powerless at this moment, and at most I can privately gather some soldiers and horses to help, but Qin is strict, so it is easy to fall into the handle, second, it will be more difficult for people to be constrained in the future, and third, even if this catastrophe passes, I am afraid that there will still be many people who want to fall to the ground."
Ying Que choked up and said, "Then, what do you say?" β
"To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, the soldiers of Zhao State are pressing, and the Qin army is in great difficulty, but if Zhao Guo retreats by himself, wouldn't it be the wishful thinking of many people"
"Zhao Gong, the idea is good, but we are not familiar with Zhao Palace, and now there are no capable people?"
"Someone can recommend you, you forget, who is my master, if I want to get an official and a half-position here, then the first thing to do is to take Zhao Hao as my pathfinder first, just like Zou Ji who refuted Gongsun Long that day."
"Ah, you want to nominate yourself?" Ying Que looked at Xiaochuan in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"What about me?"
"I will ask Brother Qingji to take you to see Zhao Qi for a doctor, the matter of toad crisp must not be exposed, you have to remember one thing, never underestimate your enemy, don't look down on yourself and despise others, don't pray that your enemy is a fool and an idiot, and pay attention to your opponent."
Ying Que nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the stakes, and I won't make people see flaws in Zhao Qi's illness." β
The next day, Yi Xiaochuan went to look for Qingji, one was to introduce Yingque to see Zhao Qi, and the other was to ask him to introduce him to King Zhao in order to stretch.
