Chapter 638: Heavy Guard

The time for the dinner party held by Zhao Rong is getting closer and closer, and two of the three clues that Su Qin investigated have clearly pointed to Zhao Rong's plot to assassinate the prince.

Su Qin thought: "Zhao Rong's choice to start at the dinner party can be described as killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he could take this opportunity to get rid of his fierce opponents on the way to the throne, and on the other hand, he also happened to create a huge chaos and interfere with the meeting two days later. ”

Su Qin thought of Zhao Rong's careful calculation, he couldn't help but be shocked, Zhao Rong's scheming and clever planning were really the most scheming person he had ever seen.

And after Zhao Rong assassinated the prince, he could blame Su Qin, and it was inferred that the Hezong Conference caused chaos in Zhao State, and the prince died at the hands of the captain of Wei State.

Su Qin thought that he could see Zhao Rong's conspiracy clearly, so he was not so afraid and worried in his heart. Everything is not afraid of difficulties, and the most worrying is that in an unprepared situation, it will be knocked down by a sudden accident.

Su Qin was worried about the whereabouts of Qu Xin and Liang Yue'er, and after discussing with Fei Yi, he hurried back to the peach garden again. As soon as he entered the garden, Su Qin first came to Langhuaxuan, and when he stepped into the courtyard, he called the guards guarding Langhuaxuan, and the guards told him: "Liang Yue'er has not returned yet." ”

"What about General Qu Xin? Have you seen any of him? Su Qin asked again. Report to the Prime Minister, did not see. The guard replied very simply.

Su Qin's heart hung again, and he was deeply worried about the safety of Qu Xin and Liang Yue'er. Since he found out that Jiang He had not returned all night at the Wei mission in Shangshe, he had a premonition that Jiang He, who had assassinated Liang Yue'er, had disappeared for one night at the same time as Liang Yue'er and Qu Xin, and he was afraid that there had been a head-on conflict between them.

"Could it be that Liang Yue'er and Qu Xin have been poisoned by Jiang He?" Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but gasp. The more he learned about Jiang He's life trajectory, the more he felt the horror of this person who was used to hiding in the shadows. Jiang He is a cold-blooded killer, if you add his senior brother Bai Yong, the two of them join forces, and the lethality is so great that it is difficult to estimate.

However, at this moment, no matter how worried Su Qin was, he didn't have time to save Qu Xin and Liang Yue'er, and he didn't even know where these two people were, and looking for these two people in the huge Handan City was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the current situation is tense, and he is unable to arrange personnel to find Liang Yue'er and Qu Xin, and the people around him have to do their best to deal with Zhao Rong's surprise attack at the dinner party.

Su Qin let out a long sigh and muttered to himself: "That's it, let's look at their own creations!" He returned to Xingmingxuan, closed his eyes for a while, and tried his best to calm and stabilize his mind in order to deal with future crises.

When the evening was approaching, the sun was about to set, Su Qin instructed his personal entourage to prepare the carriage and horses, and then sent someone to inform Sun Ling's seniors to gather at the gate of Taoyuan, and he wanted to take a car with Sun Ling, leading more than two hundred school guards to Zhao Rong's mansion for a banquet.

The reason why Su Qin brought so many school guards was still out of high vigilance.

What Zhao Rong is good at is killing in secret, but Su Qin, as the prime minister of Zhao State, can be fully prepared on the bright side. Qu Xin and Zhou Shao joined the elite soldiers who entered Handan City from the garrison of Cishan City, and almost all of them followed him.

Sun Ling saw the military cadets with bright armor, they were all holding weapons, majestic, and the old man said to Su Qin: "Jizi, are you going to a banquet or to the battlefield, do you need to be so heavily guarded?" ”

Su Qin took Sun Ling's hand and asked him to board the carriage first, and he followed behind to get into the carriage, and then waved his hand and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to Zhao Rong's mansion.

In the carriage, as soon as Su Qin sat down, he replied to Sun Ling: "The old-timers don't know, today's banquet is more auspicious, and the internal battle in Zhao State may be white-hot tonight." I'm planning ahead, it's better to be defensive than unprepared. ”

Su Qin earnestly begged Sun Ling and said: "The old-timers are world-renowned in martial arts, and their skills are beyond everyone's, I bother you to help me keep an eye on the movements at the banquet tonight, if someone wants to assassinate, you must help me stop it." ”

Sun Ling sighed and said, "Ji Zi, are you telling the truth?" Who had the audacity to go wild at such a formal and solemn banquet? ”

Su Qin replied: "The person who created the chaos is very likely to be the host of the banquet, Zhao Rong, the Zongzheng of the Zhao State. He coveted the position of the prince of Zhao State, not in one day, two days, a year and a half, but in more than ten years of preparation. At tonight's banquet, the crown prince of Zhao came to welcome the envoys of various countries on behalf of the monarch, which was a good time for Zhao Rong to make trouble. ”

Sun Ling shook his head and said, "It seems that the problem of this Zhao State is very similar to that of the Qi State, both of which are constantly divided within the clan, and where the power lies, ambition will follow it. ”

"However, didn't the monarch of Zhao see Zhao Rong's ambition? How could he tolerate his younger brother Zhao Rong being so deliberate against the crown prince he had set up? Sun Ling was also a little confused, so he asked Su Qindao.

Su Qin sighed lightly and replied: "All countries have special conditions, and Zhao Hou and Zhao Yu's mistake is to be too arrogant and pampering his younger brothers. His younger brothers are all important ministers of the imperial court, high-ranking officials, and they are inevitably ambitious, but Zhao Hou himself has never been enlightened and has not changed. ”

Sun Ling said, "Then what should I do? Jizi, you give me a clear direction, and I have a direction to prepare. ”

Su Qin told Sun Ling: "Zhao Rongfeng has raised two assassins with extremely high martial arts, both of them are from the disciples of the Zhao State Martial Arts Sect Liulu Sword, both of them are good at secret weapons, and they are good at secretly assassinating targets. ”

"What I want the old Sun to do is to stop such an assassination in time." Su Qin bowed respectfully at Sun Ling, then bowed down on the table and said, "Senior Sun's martial arts are unique, especially the lancet, which can be called the most accurate secret weapon in the rivers and lakes. It's fitting that you're up to you to stop the assassination. ”

Su Qin said heartily: "With the grandson seniors with me, I have great confidence, tonight's banquet has a lot of please, I hope that the seniors will read the face of my master and senior brother and help me deal with the critical situation tonight." ”

Sun Ling helped Su Qin up and replied: "The old man's three-legged cat's kung fu is limited after all, I am afraid that I can't help Ji Zi solve his difficulties." But the old man did his best. ”

Su Qin bowed his hand to Sun Ling again and said, "With the words of Senior Sun, I will be down-to-earth." At that banquet, I arranged for these two lily military cadets to keep a close watch on the venue, and I myself would keep a close eye on potential dangers at all times. Let's work together to get through this together. ”

Sun Ling stretched out his hand and stroked his long white beard, and said, "That's very good!" ”
