For thousands of years, it was unheard of for a king to dress like this to see a minister, but it could be regarded as letting Su Qin catch up. Peeking at King Qi's outfit, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

The king of Qi took his hand with a smile, spread his legs, and sat freely on the table like a dustpan. Su Qin didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while, he sat upright, kneeling upright.

King Qi said: "Why should the Su Qing family be polite, I thought that you were the same as the widow, a casual person, but I didn't expect you to be more polite." ”

Su Qin's face turned red. However, he thought: "Since King Qi likes to be casual, why should he be serious." He immediately changed his attitude, a smile appeared on his face, and he simply sat like a king of Qi.

King Qi looked even more coke at this time, and asked with a smile: "Su Qing's family came to see him early in the morning, there must be something urgent, right?" ”

Su Qin was speechless for a while, he originally thought that King Qi would have something to discuss with him, judging from the content of the letter left by the flying knife, at least King Qi should be an insider. However, it was not strange that the king of Qi actually asked him what was wrong.

Fortunately, Su Qin is a clever person with a quick brain response. He immediately answered: "The day before yesterday, the king and the minister agreed to implement a policy of cooperation, and the minister specially came to ask the king for advice, I wonder if the king has any further plans?" ”

King Qi listened to Su Qin's words, his eyes rolled around, his smile did not decrease, and he said bluntly: "Since the widow has accepted the suggestion of the Su Qing family, he will choose a day to worship you as the secretary, and order you to continue to contact other countries." ”

Speaking of this, King Qi paused, suppressed his smile, and said a little seriously: "However, Su Qing's family came here today, I'm afraid it wasn't for this matter." ”

When Su Qin heard this, his face was a little unbearable, and he thought: "Don't look at King Qi's casual behavior, he is very arrogant, in fact, he is still a shrewd person, not a fool." ”

"The king really has a good sense of everything, which makes Weichen admire." Su Qin complimented King Qi.

Since the king of Qi is not easy to deceive, Su Qin simply told the truth: "I heard that the king is going to Tiantong Mansion for a banquet tonight, and it just so happens that he also invited me. ”

King Qi let out an "oh", obviously not expecting Su Qin to go too, he groaned slightly, and said, "Since you are also invited to the banquet, then go." However, don't tell anyone to see the widow in front of you. ”

Su Qin waited for a long time, and when King Qi replied, he was confused, and he couldn't figure out the edge, thinking: "Why don't you tell others, is there really something strange in it?" ”

He asked tentatively again: "Does the king think that at tonight's banquet, Weichen has any etiquette to pay attention to?" The ministers were afraid that their misconduct would bring shame on the king. ”

King Qi moved his lips, and stopped talking, probably because he was wandering in his heart, and the smile on his face was completely absent at this time, and at the end, Fang said: "Alas, how can a widow teach a smart person like you." ”

"In this way, at today's dinner, if you pay attention to the behavior of the widow and follow the behavior of the widow, there will be no so-called 'impropriety'." King Qi squeezed out such a sentence, with a very embarrassed expression.

Su Qin saw that King Qi didn't want to talk more about today's dinner, and if he continued to ask for advice, there would be no more hints, and his heart was at a loss, and his face inevitably showed disappointment.

He rushed over to meet with the King of Qi, expecting that there would be a thrilling event to discuss with the King of Qi, but the result was nothing more than a few inconsequential words.

Think about it: it's not going to go any further. Moreover, the King of Qi still has to rush to the court, and he can't delay the early dynasty time of the King of Qi.

He stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to the king of Qi, and said, "It is inconvenient for Weichen to sit for a long time, and he is afraid of disturbing the king, so he will leave." ”

At this time, King Qi regained his smile and said, "Su Qing's family came to see the widow early in the morning, and the widow talked to you, which is very pleasant, so you don't have to be worried." ”

Su Qin replied: "Weichen deeply thanks the king for his leniency, and looks forward to seeing the king again in Tianfu tonight." ”

King Qi waved his hand, signaling him not to be formal, and then called the eunuch on duty outside the Shouning Palace and instructed him: "You go to send Su Qing's house for the widow, go out of the back door of the palace, and be careful along the road." ”

The eunuch received the order and came out of Shouning Palace with Su Qin. Su Qin walked on the road, carefully pondering Qi Wangtian's words, and always felt a little deep in it.

"Why did you deliberately emphasize that you should go out from the back door of Linzi Palace? Is it in line with my own thoughts: to avoid letting more people know about this meeting between the two? ”

King Qi's words seemed to be said unintentionally, but as if they were deliberately emphasized, Su Qin couldn't think of a clue for a while, and left Linzi Palace in a daze.

On the way back to Hongxi Inn, Su Qin was not sure and wanted to find someone to discuss. At this time, he thought of his younger brother Zhang Yi, and it happened that his younger brother and daughter-in-law also came to Linzi City, and out of courtesy, he should also visit.

So, he ordered the coachman to inquire about the road and drove to the mansion of the great general Tian Cheng.

Tian Cheng's mansion is located in the south of Linzi City, is connecting the south of the city and the north of the city on the street, in Linzi City is also famous, especially easy to find, Su Qin's carriage around a corner, to the south of the city of Tian Cheng Mansion to come.

Before arriving at the gate of Tian Cheng's mansion, just a hundred steps closer to Tian Cheng's mansion, Su Qin saw that the north and south streets were full of soldiers armed with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. When they saw Su Qin's carriage, they immediately stopped it.

Su Qin poked his head out of the carriage, showed the talisman in his hand to the soldiers, and said: "I am the envoy of the Zhao State, and the current Prime Minister of the Zhao State Su Qin, I want to go to the Tiancheng Mansion to find a person, please let him go." ”

The soldier who stopped the carriage was a tall, burly and sturdy man, he shrugged his shoulders, chuckled, and replied: "We are guarding this place by the order of the king, not to mention entering Tiancheng's mansion, even passing through here will not be allowed to pass." ”

When Su Qin heard this, he couldn't help but be more worried about Zhang Yi's safety, and he was even more anxious to see the two of them. He said in a tone of central notice: "Then can you please come into the mansion and call people out." I will be thankful here! ”

The soldier grimaced and replied, "You don't have to say much, no one can enter or leave without the king's special token." ”

With that, he twisted his head to the side and made a gesture of no agreement. Su Qin saw his resolute strength, and his heart was anxious, but he couldn't break through, and he hesitated.

He couldn't see Zhang Yi in person, and he couldn't go in to find someone, so he was in a hurry. The coachman stared at Su Qin, waiting for his next instruction, Su Qin couldn't think of a good way, so he waved his hand and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the side of the road and stop.

He stayed on the north and south streets, waiting patiently for a while, hoping that Zhang Yi would come out of Tian Cheng's mansion, say hello to him, and find out about his safety.

Then, an hour passed, not to mention Zhang Yi, and no one in the entire Tiancheng Mansion even showed his head. Su Qin thought: It's not a way to wait like this. I had to order the coachman to drive back to the Hongxi Inn.

Ever since he returned, he had been in a state of his own free of arms, racking his mind about the dinner. For a while, he thought about the meaning of King Qi's words, and for a while, he remembered the whereabouts of Zhang Yi and his wife, plus Ning Jun, who disappeared a few days ago.

It all weighed heavily on his heart, and he felt that he couldn't breathe. He couldn't eat lunch, and the Meng sisters frowned when they saw him, and they deliberately made a joke, especially their sister Meng Ting, who chatted with Su Qin without words, but Su Qin actually chatted and forgot what he had just said, which made Meng Ting very discouraged.

Su Qin couldn't understand what was going on, but he was still very vigilant in his heart. In any case, tonight's banquet in Tiantongfu must not be as relaxed as an ordinary banquet for guests and friends. Even if he was trying to protect himself, he had to be prepared.

He thought about it again and again, and decided to take Zhou Shao with him at the dinner, and he had to bring the weapons he had with him in case of accidents. As for the Meng sisters, they are women after all, although they also have skills, but they are afraid that they will encounter a greater horror scene and be frightened, so it is still inconvenient to go.

Time passed little by little, and the closer it was to dusk, the more difficult it was for Su Qin to calm down, so he simply meditated cross-legged in the room, closed his eyes and meditated, forgot everything around him, and entered the realm of emptiness.

This is also the way to keep the mind pure and empty, and it is the best way to recharge your energy before the big event. Gradually, he felt the ethereal spirit of the spiritual platform.

Who expected what would happen tonight? The only thing I can grasp is probably a moment of tranquility right now. Only when you are fully prepared can you have enough mental strength to deal with the crisis that may come.

Su Qin adjusted his breathing and gradually forgot about his external affairs, maybe after half an hour, he suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard, and it was not alone. When he sits and forgets, his ear power has also reached its limit, forgetting the troubles in his heart, so he is more sensitive to the changes in the surrounding things.

But he still didn't think about it, but kept it in a quiet place. However, the footsteps gradually approached his door. At this moment, the person outside the door suddenly shouted: "Is Senior Brother Su in the house, Zhang Yi is visiting." ”

When Su Qin heard Zhang Yi's voice, his heart woke up, and he quickly stopped meditating, and while getting up to greet his junior brother, he accosted him: "I'm in the house, Senior Brother Zhang, please come in." ”

As soon as the door opened, Su Qin saw Zhang Yi in front of him, and behind him was a twenty-five or six-year-old woman, her body was plump and well-proportioned, her face was thinly powdered, her eyebrows were delicate, and her Jingchai cloth skirt was simple and capable.

When Su Qin saw her, he had already expected that this person was Zhang Yi's wife, his younger sister Yao Yue. Sure enough, Zhang Yi immediately introduced Yao Yue: "This is my senior brother, surnamed Su, with a Qin character." ”

Yao Yue put his hands on his right waist, bent down slightly, gave a salute, his face was slightly shy, and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Su, the little woman is so polite." ”

Su Qin was also busy clasping his fists and nodding again, and replied: "I am very happy to see my younger brother and sister for the first time, which is really a blessing. ”
