Su Qin set a date for departure. At this time, it is another season when the cold winter is coming to an end and the spring breeze is coming. Thinking back to more than three years ago, he was also in the joy of the recovery of all things, and together with Wei Wei, he ran for the northwest border of the Qin State.

Today, Su Qin is also in the borderland, but the location has been changed to Yan Kingdom in the northeast. This time, his goal is no longer predetermined by others, and he has to firmly follow his own life's journey: the path of integration, a difficult but hopeful journey.

Su Qin went to say goodbye to Yan Hou a day earlier. Yan Hou lukewarmly instructed him to take care of himself and report to himself as soon as he had news.

Su Qin was respectful and received orders one by one, and the whole process lasted less than half an hour.

After saying goodbye to Yanhou, he then came to Ying Yi's Queen Mother's palace, and when he told Ying Yi the news, Ying Yi wanted to restrain the surging sadness of parting, but her eyes were still filled with tears.

Su Qin also felt a faint pain in his heart, and he immediately invited Yingyi to go to the Zixi Garden in the southern city together, complain to each other, and spend the night together. Because they were about to part, and they didn't know when they would return, they both cherished the fleeting good time, and the night before parting, they always hugged each other tightly and rejoiced passionately until they were exhausted.

The next day, Su Qin and Ning Jun rode the carriage given to Su Qin by Yanhou, waved goodbye to Ying Yi and the others at the gate of Zixi Garden, and they went all the way west, out of Jidu, and went to Zhao again.

Su Qin and Ning Jun re-entered the Zhao State this time, because they were holding the envoy scepter and documents of the Yan State, which belonged to the official envoys. Therefore, after they entered the territory of Zhao State, they did not take a detour, but deliberately went to the pass guarded by soldiers, let them verify their identities, and convey the news of the entry of Yan State envoys to the rear of Zhao State.

Su Qin and Ning Jun walked for a day and a half, and then came to Handan in Zhao State, and they went back to the Guihong Inn where they stayed last time, and settled down first, to see that Zhao Guo did not send someone to greet them, so they had to take the initiative themselves.

After the two packed their luggage, it was late, and it was inconvenient to move again that day. Therefore, he prepared to go to Zhao Hou's Handan Palace the next day to meet him.

That night, Ning Jun asked Su Qin if he was going to sit in the peach garden next door? Su Qin thought about it for a while, and felt that it was important to do business, so it was better not to go first.

The last time they stayed at the Guihong Inn for a long time, Ning Jun was very familiar with the shopkeeper there, and after dinner, he had nothing to do, so he went to the front hall of the inn to talk with Xiao'er for a while.

After coming back, Ning Jun told Su Qin a shocking news: more than half a month ago, Zhao Cheng, the Fengyang Jun who was their enemy, actually died.

When Su Qin heard the news, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't believe his ears for a while, and the two of them went to the front hall of the Guihong Inn again, and found the inn's account room to inquire, and learned that the news was indeed true, and Zhao Hou Zhao Yu was looking for a new prime minister, and heard that Xuanyang Jun Zhao Yun was the most promising.

Su Qin and Ning Jun couldn't help but high-five each other, Fengyangjun, the biggest obstacle to lobbying Zhao State, was actually killed by God, and their luck was really good. The happy events and the smooth journey made them unbelievable that good luck came so quickly.

However, Su Qin thought of that Xuanyangjun again, he was the common little brother of Zhao Hou and Fengyangjun, and compared to the deceased Fengyangjun, he was as cunning and arrogant. If he becomes the prime minister of Zhao State, he will be a difficult opponent.

Early the next morning, Su Qin and Ning Jun packed up and arrived at Handan Palace in the tall carriage of the prime minister of Yan State. Su Qin explained his identity to the palace guards and showed the envoy's letter of honor.

After about half an hour, an elderly eunuch with gray hair came out of the palace and announced to Su Qin: "The prince of Zhao has a decree, and Su Qin, the envoy of Xuanyan State, will meet you." ”

Su Qin then took Ning Jun and followed the eunuch into the palace gate, passed through the double hall gate, and entered the Ziyang Hall where Zhao Hou received them.

Su Qin asked Ning Jun to wait for him outside the hall, he stepped into the Ziyang Palace, and saw that Zhao Hou was sitting upright on the seat, so he knelt on the ground and saluted, and after the salute, he handed over the documents of Yan Guo.

Zhao Hou did not read it immediately, but said to Su Qin in a cordial tone: "The day before yesterday, Mr. Su said goodbye to Zhao Guo, and no one knew anything, and after learning that you left, he was very uneasy, but he didn't expect that today he would wear the seal of Yan Cheng and go to our country. ”

Zhao Hou asked curiously: "How did you get to Yan Kingdom, can you tell the widow." ”

Su Qin listened to Zhao Hou's question, and heard a slight regret in it, but there were also a lot of polite and humble words, his identity was already the prime minister of Yan State at this time. Even if it is only a name and does not care about the actual affairs, it should be a real thing to a foreigner.

Su Qin took out the bearing of an envoy and replied solemnly: "Weichen is only a shallow learner, it is difficult to be useful, and he had some disagreements with Fengyangjun when he was in Zhao State, so he arrived in Yan Kingdom, and the Marquis of Yan State heard about Weichen's thin name and entrusted him with the important task of prime minister, which is really terrified." ”

Su Qin directly explained to Zhao Hou the reason why he left Zhao State, that is, he couldn't get along with Fengyang Jun, this is the truth, so it just exonerates Zhao Hou from the responsibility of not appointing the virtuous and electing talents.

Su Qin's reaction was extremely fast, and his language talent was extremely prominent, and he was able to blurt out such words temporarily, which was really just right, which made Zhao Hou feel very comfortable.

Su Qin didn't wait for Zhao Hou to ask again, hurriedly expressed his intentions, took the initiative to guide the development of the topic, and said: "Weichen came to Zhao State again today, not only for the interests of Yan State, but to make Yan and Zhao two countries get along, eliminate misunderstandings, and both can benefit from a peaceful environment." ”

When Zhao Hou heard that Su Qin was considering the interests of Zhao State, what he said was also very reasonable, and he couldn't help but agree.

He replied: "It turns out that Prime Minister Su has this intention, and the widow understands it, so why don't the widows want the two countries to truce and the people live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Su Qin figured out Zhao Hou's psychology and understood that he didn't want a dispute between Zhao and Yan at the moment, and the war would happen again. Su Qin conjectured: Zhao Hou intended to focus on domestic reform and development, and before, when Su Qin was in Zhao State, he also learned about Zhao Hou's wish.

Therefore, Su Qin followed the domestic topics that Zhao Hou cared about, and continued:

"Weichen already knew that the prince and the prince were ambitious, and Fengyang Jun controlled the government before, and there was a gap between you and the people, and today Fengyang Jun has gone west, and it is the time for the prince to let go and show his ambitions. Therefore, Weichen wished Zhao Guo a stable environment and accumulated strong strength. ”

"Wechen came at the right time." Su Qin deliberately emphasized that he intended to share his worries for Zhao Hou.
