Su Qin came to the east gate of Handan City with a lot of worry, and after he left the city, he got out of the carriage and immediately saw a huge convoy parked on the official road, about a hundred carriages.

Su Qin saw a huge red circle frame on the flagpole erected on the leading carriage, and inside the round frame, there was a large "Qi" character written on it. Su Qin immediately thought: "This must be the convoy of the Qi State Mission." ”

He didn't expect that the Qi State would send such a huge mission, and this formation was larger than the convoy when he accepted Zhao Hou's eternal award and set off from Zhao State to lobby for Qi State with great pomp and circumstance.

Su Qin's first feeling was: "This Qi Wang Tian is too funny, is it intentional to send such a large delegation team?" He saw that the mission I led back then was pompous, so he deliberately exceeded that time to show the great power of Qi? ”

Soon after Su Qin got out of the carriage, a person also got out of the fifth car in the Qi convoy, this person was burly, slightly fat, with a beard on his face, but he was wearing a brocade robe of a civil official.

After he got out of the car, he walked in the direction of Su Qin, and Su Qin took a closer look and recognized that this person turned out to be Tian Cheng, the current Zhengqing of Qi State.

This person was originally the general of the Qi State Army, a martial artist, and in the power struggle with his elder brother, Tian Tong, the original Zhengqing of the Qi State, he won the final victory with the support of Qi Wang Tian Bijiang. Tian Tong later escaped from the underground tunnel, and later Tian Cheng also changed from a military general to a civil official, and became the secretary of Qi under one person and above ten thousand people as he wished.

After Su Qin recognized Tian Cheng, he greeted him warmly, and the two met in the middle of the official road, bowing to each other almost at the same time, and greeting each other politely.

After the meeting ceremony, Tian Cheng said impatiently: "Knowing that Su Qing is going to hold a joint conference in Huanshui, King Qi is very happy, and he attaches great importance to and supports it. ”

Tian Cheng turned around and pointed to the convoy of the mission he led, and said, "Look at it, the scale of this convoy is probably unprecedented, with hundreds of carriages and a team of more than 500 people. Stylish, right? ”

Su Qin nodded with a smile and responded: "It is indeed an unprecedented scale, I am deeply grateful to the King of Qi and Tian Qing for their love, and with the strong support of the Qi State, this joint conference will definitely succeed." ”

Tian Cheng said: "I came this time, and there is a person with a very special identity among the entourage, and you will be stunned after you know his identity." ”

Su Qin had already heard the report, saying that in addition to Zhengqing, there were other people with higher positions in the Qi State Mission, and he guessed that it might be Qi Wang Tian who opened the frontier, although he could not be conclusively sure, but he was also mentally prepared. However, in order to make Tian Cheng happy, he still made a gesture of extreme surprise.

Su Qin said: "In addition to you Tian Zhengqing, is there anyone in the Qi State who has a higher position than you?" He shook his head, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't believe what Tian Cheng said.

Tian Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Don't say it, there is really a person in Qi State, who is higher than my position." He pointed to an extraordinarily tall carriage in the middle of the convoy and said, "If you don't believe me, let me take a look." ”

Su Qin then followed Tian Cheng towards the carriage. When he got closer, Tian Cheng stood in front of the carriage and reported to the people in the carriage: "Mr. Su Qin, the guest secretary of Qi State, asks to see him!" ”

Su Qin saw Tian Chengdu respectfully report to the people in the car, and he suddenly realized at this time that he guessed the identity of the person in the car. But he didn't say it either.

From the carriage came a high-pitched voice that spoke at the throat, and the man said, "Since he is here, let him get into the carriage." ”

At this time, the curtain of the carriage opened from the inside, revealing an unfamiliar face, and the person made a gesture to invite Su Qin to get on the car. Su Qin then stepped on the steps of the carriage and boarded the carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he immediately saw in the wide carriage a number of cases three feet wide, on which were placed fine wine and delicacies, and behind the cases was a wide couch, on which a man sat on the couch.

Su Qin didn't need to look closely, he knew that this person was Tian Pijiang, the king of Qi State, but Su Qin knew that Tian Pijiang liked to have a funny personality, and if he had a predetermined demeanor, it would definitely make Tian Bijiang feel bored.

Therefore, Su Qin pretended to be very surprised, widened his eyes vigorously, and came out with an "ah" in surprise. Sure enough, Qi Wangtian Pijiang, who was sitting on the couch, laughed wildly, leaning forward and backward with laughter, as if he was about to go crazy.

Su Qin bowed his head and proclaimed: "For the minister Su Qin, the guest secretary of the Qi State, I don't know that the king has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, forgive my sins!" Forgiveness! ”

Qi Wangtian laughed for two quarters of an hour, and then finally stopped laughing, Su Qin saw his unhappy demeanor, and then saw that the corners of his mouth were still stained with wine drops, and he sat freely, very relaxed, as if he was a tourist on a hiking trip.

Su Qin also laughed a few times with Tian Bijiang, and he said: "The king can come to participate in the joint conference in person, it is really unexpected by the ministers, give me a big surprise, and I deeply thank the king for his kindness." ”

King Qi waved his hand and said, "The Su Qing family doesn't have to be polite to me. He pointed to another seat in the carriage and said, "Su Qing's family, please take a seat, let's sit and talk." ”

Su Qin complied with King Qi and sat on the guest seat. King Qi said with a smile: "Su Qing's family can't remember how many times you praised the beauty of your peach garden to this king when you were in Qi Kingdom, especially the songs and dances in the garden, which can be called a must in Zhao Kingdom?" ”

Su Qin remembered that he had indeed said something like that in front of Tian Pijiang, probably when the Meng sisters subdued Tian Bijiang with a waist bending dance, and remembered that at that time, it seemed that he had just arrived in Qi State, and in Tian Tong's mansion, such a play had been staged.

Su Qin nodded and replied, "Weichen did boast of such a Haikou at that time, ashamed, ashamed!" When it comes to all kinds of strange things in the world, as well as that unique skill, who can see more than the king, I was just a slip of the tongue at that time. ”

Tian Bijiang didn't listen to Su Qin's defense, and said: "What you said yourself, where can you take it back." If you say it, you say it, and you can't go back! ”

He stretched his legs comfortably, regardless of whether such a gesture was rude or not, and said: "You are holding a joint vertical conference this time, and the widow is itching to hear it, so I will take this opportunity to come to Zhao Kingdom for a while." That peach garden of yours is just the right time for the widow to see. ”

With a friendly smile on his face, he said again: "Su Qing's family doesn't need to be nervous, you just treat me as a tourist who came with the Qi State Mission." Zhao Hou, don't report it, the widow doesn't want to give birth to unnecessary etiquette, it's just annoying. ”

When Su Qin heard this, he understood: "This Tian Pijiang came to Zhao State, where was it to create momentum for his own joint vertical conference to show firm support?" He was purely curious and came out for a trip. ”

Thinking of this, Su Qin couldn't help but laugh out loud, secretly feeling that such a king had never been seen for eternity. Su Qin felt that there was nothing wrong with Tian Bijiang doing this, it was just a micro-service trip. When he was in the Qi Kingdom, he did a lot of things like this kind of micro-service out of the Linzi Palace, but this time he came to another vassal state without prior notice.

Su Qin agreed to the king of Qi and said, "Don't worry, as long as the king is unwilling to reveal his whereabouts, he will not reveal it to any outsiders." ”

Tian Bijiang said: "Hey, that's right. The widow came this time, and happened to live in your peach garden, and you must arrange a few of the best songs and dances for the widow, and the widow should feast his eyes. Look at what you said in front of the widow at the beginning, whether it was a boast or a fallacy. ”

As he spoke, he was happy again. Su Qin heard this request from the King of Qi, and even if he started from the personal relationship between the two, it was inconvenient to refuse, let alone the identity of the King of Qi. Su Qin agreed without hesitation.

Subsequently, Su Qin got off the carriage of the King of Qi and returned to his carriage, and then, he himself led the way, and first sent the personnel of the Qi delegation to the newly built upper house specially built by the Marquis of Zhao for the Vertical Conference.

Qi Wangtian didn't even get off the carriage, so he was directly led by Su Qin and went to Su Qin's own private garden, the Peach Garden. The convoy of the group entered the garden, and Su Qin instructed his coachman to drive all the way to the hidden backyard in the peach garden. It wasn't until in the backyard that Su Qin asked King Qi to come out of the carriage.

For the sake of King Qi, Su Qin wanted to be as hidden as possible, for fear of revealing the identity of King Qi and his whereabouts. But Tian Pijiang actually couldn't bear it anymore, and since he entered Handan City, he couldn't stop opening the car curtain and peeking at the street scene of Handan.

After entering the peach garden, he drilled his whole head out of the curtain and looked around, not caring whether his hiding would be exposed. The handymen and maiko in the peach garden looked at him with astonishment.

Qi Wangtian Pijiang only brought three carriages with his entourage, and all the other vehicles were arranged by the people in charge of receiving the princes' envoys near the upper house. After arriving at the destination, Su Qin first jumped down from his carriage and greeted Tian Pijiang to get off.

Tian Pijiang himself couldn't hold back, shook off the eunuch who was supporting him, and stepped on the steps and stepped off the carriage quickly. Because his steps were too fast, he stumbled and almost fell, but thanks to Su Qin's quick eyes, he grabbed him. Tian Bijiang smiled embarrassedly, and then happily looked east and west, extremely excited.
