Sister Meng Di looked very excited, and interjected: "Guess what we saw?" ”

Su Qin shook his head and spread his hands again, indicating that he had no way of knowing.

Meng Di said mysteriously: "We found that on the south bank of Tianfu, weapons were being transported outside, knives, swords, spears, halberds and bundles of feather arrows. Tian Tong's children were there to help move out, but then they all stopped for some reason, and then moved back again. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he was very surprised, his eyes immediately widened, and he said, "There is such a thing, there are really so many weapons hidden in Tianfu?" ”

"Why aren't there so many, we also counted and estimated it, enough to supply more than two thousand soldiers. We are also curious, Tian Tong, as a civil servant, what is he doing with so many weapons at home? ”

Su Qin pondered for a while, according to the statement of the Meng sisters, those Tian Tong children originally moved out their weapons, and they must have been prepared to declare war on Tian Cheng with open swords and guns.

As for what he moved back to later, that is, he got the letter from the front and learned that the King of Qi had personally intervened in this matter, and there was no need to use knives and guns anymore.

When Su Qin thought of this, he probably restored the truth of the matter, but he still couldn't believe his judgment, so he nodded for a while, and shook his head again for a while, which confused the Meng sisters.

Su Qin whispered to the Meng sisters: "This matter is really strange, I really can't figure it out for a while. However, you must not tell others, we have to pretend that we don't know at all, so that the people of Tianfu can't find out that we know the inside story. ”

The Meng sisters nodded in agreement, but the mystery in their hearts was still unsolved, and they went to the East House to rest with their doubts.

After the Meng sisters left, Su Qin did not go to bed immediately, he sat in the room, pondering the reason. Su Qin couldn't figure out the purpose of these weapons for a short time, he guessed and reasoned in his heart:

It is said that even the military generals of the DPRK and the Central Committee are absolutely not allowed to hide weapons of more than 100 people at home, otherwise, they will be punished for the crime of rebellion. Now Tian Tong's family actually has weapons used by more than 1,000 soldiers, which is obviously against the law.

If what the Meng sisters said is true, then what is the purpose of Tian Tong's secret hiding of so many weapons? Is it for self-defense? This is not very likely, because unless the king of Qi punishes him, who of the other ministers will attack Tianfu with thousands of troops?

Removed self-defense, so is Tian Tong going to sell weapons, or is it purely a personal hobby? This obviously doesn't make sense, Tian Tong doesn't have to make this very risky fortune if he wants money.

If it is a personal hobby, it is enough to have only a few dozen weapons, and it is impossible to hide them in batches.

No wonder Tian Cheng had to break into Tianfu to search hard, if King Qi did not intervene in time and let Tian Cheng invade Tianfu, then he would really have copied and detected the privately hidden weapons, and then Tian Tong would be difficult to get out of the matter, and he couldn't tell if he had a thousand mouths.

Su Qin thought about it for a long time and didn't think it through, and at this time, the second watch was handed over, so he lay down with his clothes and forced himself to rest in bed.

Since he came to Qi Kingdom, he has been pretending to be a little insomnia because of the strange things he has encountered, so he has a little insomnia. Does this have anything to do with living in the same house as one?

Tian Ming began to receive him from the border of Qi State, and then chose Tianfu as a place to stay under the arrangement of their son, and then Tian Tong recommended him to see Tian Bijiang, the king of Qi.

Is it just a coincidence? Su Qin's mood fluctuated, he was alert, he was confused, and he felt that there was a pair of invisible big hands arranging everything. Where is the final direction of this hand?

The next day, the sky was numb and bright, and before Su Qin got up, Steward Sun of Tianfu was appointed by Tian Tong to come to greet him. Steward Sun worries about fatigue all day long, but he is meticulous, and his clothes are always neatly dressed, as if his body is never tired.

Seeing that Su Qin hadn't gotten up yet, Steward Sun waited humbly outside the door, and only after Su Qin got dressed did he enter the house.

He briefly explained to Su Qin what happened last night, omitted the process of Tianfu Jiading and Menke participating in the battle, and only said that Tian Cheng led his troops to besiege it, and was later pacified by the palace guards led by the King of Qi.

Su Qin pretended to know nothing about last night's events, and stared in surprise, looking incredulous. Seeing Su Qin's surprised expression, Steward Sun was slightly surprised, and said, "Since Prime Minister Su is safe and sound, I will hurry back to report to the master's family." ”

Steward Sun said, turned around and said goodbye, his back was thin, slightly rickety, and the moment he turned around, Su Qin suddenly remembered the Steward Sun when he saw Master Guigu in Sun Bin Mansion more than three years ago, with the same surname and similar figure, could it be that there was some connection between them?

However, Su Qin and Steward Sun in Sun Bin's Mansion were only one-sided, and they didn't deal with each other, plus many years have passed, how can they remember? He immediately felt that he had just made an unintentional association.

There are too many associations, and this is not also the side of his own personality. Su Qin smiled self-deprecatingly.

Su Qin had already made up his mind last night to break away from the arrangement of the Tian family and try to take the initiative himself, although the Tian father and son were diligent and attentive, no matter how they looked like good people, and the Tian Mansion was very comfortable, if they wanted to get rid of the control of the invisible hand, they had to step out of the Tian Mansion first.

Because Ji Lu planned to move out of Tianfu, Su Qin took the Meng sisters to the streets that morning and walked around Linzi City for a long time, they were purposefully looking for a suitable house or inn to temporarily settle the Zhao State Mission.

The three of them found a large inn called "Hongxi" in the east gate of Linzi City, with an independent courtyard and an elegant and comfortable environment. Su Qin fell in love with it at a glance, and preferred the relative closure of the inn, which was just right for the entire Zhao State delegation to stay.

Su Qin negotiated with the innkeeper, and soon made a business, bidding for the price of hardware, and chartering the inn for half a month. When the shopkeeper heard that Su Qin's bid was one percent higher than that of ordinary people, he hurriedly agreed happily.

After finding a place, Su Qin and the Meng sisters had lunch outside again, and then returned to Tianfu. As soon as they walked to a corner of the street where Tian Fu was located, a person suddenly ran over from the opposite side and grabbed Su Qin.

Su Qin looked back in surprise, and found that the person who came was his junior brother Zhang Yi, and he was also ecstatic to hold Zhang Yi's hand tightly, and said, "Senior Brother Zhang, why are you here, this is too unexpected." It's been a long time, and I miss you so much. ”

"I also miss Senior Brother Su very much." Zhang Yi said, he looked up at the Meng sisters, and Su Qin hurriedly introduced him. Her younger sister Meng Ting had seen Zhang Yi in the Wei Mansion of the Qin State, but she didn't have any contact, she nodded at Zhang Yi.

Sister Meng Di has never seen Zhang Yi, but I heard my sister mention that there is such a person, today I saw Zhang Yi herself, she took a closer look, and found that Zhang Yi was wearing a cloth coat and a square crown, looking relatively simple, with a strong figure, very bright eyes, and bright spirit.

Zhang Yi also hugged his fist at the Meng sisters, but he stopped what he had just said and stopped talking.

Su Qin noticed that Zhang Yi might have taken care of the Meng sisters by her side, and it was inconvenient to talk about something, so he sent the Meng sisters back to the house first.

After the Meng sisters left, Su Qin asked Zhang Yi, "When did you come to the Qi Kingdom?" How have you been doing lately? ”

"I have been in Qi for more than half a year, and I have been living in Tian Cheng's mansion as a guest, and I have been looking for an opportunity to lobby Qi Wang Tian to open up Xinjiang." Zhang Yi replied.

Su Qin let out an "oh", he thought of Tian Cheng being captured last night, fortunately Zhang Yi was not in the team led by Tian Cheng, otherwise, he would also be implicated.

Zhang Yi continued: "I heard a little news from Senior Brother Su, saying that you have lobbied Yan and Zhao to succeed, and as the minister of state of the two countries, I have achieved nothing here. He said, sighing deeply.

Su Qin persuaded Zhang Yi and said: "It doesn't matter, it is a difficult thing for us to lobby the princes with our tongues, and everyone's opportunities are also very different, so the results obtained are naturally different, I am just a little luckier." ”

Zhang Yi nodded frequently, and it could be seen that he was not willing to live under others for a long time.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yi said, "I only heard yesterday that Senior Brother Su sent an envoy to Qi Country and lived in Tian Tong's mansion. That's why I didn't come to visit until today. Let the concierge of Tianfu say goodbye, and they told me that you are out of the city, so you are waiting here. ”

Su Qin nodded and smiled, understanding why Zhang Yi suddenly appeared on the street corner, and he said: "There was a big incident in Tianfu last night, and it was inconvenient for me to live here permanently, so I went out to find a new place to live, but I didn't expect to meet Senior Brother Zhang." ”

He was worried about Zhang Yi and said: "Tian Cheng was captured, presumably Senior Brother Zhang, you also know the way, then Tian Cheng's mansion is not a place to stay for a long time." ”

Zhang Yi smiled mysteriously. said: "Senior Brother Lao Su is worried. I'm fine, I'm safe. On the contrary, I know that after Senior Brother Su lives in Tiantong Mansion, he is very worried about you. ”

He was relieved and said, "Now that you have decided to move out of Tianfu, I am relieved." ”

Su Qin was taken aback by Zhang Yi's words, and hurriedly asked, "Why does Senior Brother Zhang have this opinion, is there something very wrong with living in Tiantong Mansion?" ”

"Senior Brother Su doesn't know anything, I am a doorman at Tian Cheng's place, and I know some of the inside information about the conflict between Tian Tong and Tian Cheng's brothers. Tian Cheng has always suspected that his brother Tian Tong is plotting to usurp the throne, so he is wary of him everywhere. Tian Tong also felt that Tian Cheng was in the way, and repeatedly slandered Tian Cheng in front of King Qi. The two are on the same page. Zhang Yi leaned close to Su Qin's ear and said in a low voice.

Su Qin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if he also understood something that he couldn't figure out, no wonder there were so many weapons in Tian Tong's Mansion, it seemed that he was also ambitious, not as polite and polite as he looked from the outside, abiding by his duties, and having a strict door.
