Zhao Xi expressed his views on the current situation of Zhao to Su Qin, and he believed that Zhao's top priority was to change in order to become stronger.

He said bitterly: "Among the princes of all walks of life, the countries that carried out all the changes earlier and more thoroughly eventually became the overlords for a while. And Zhao Guo has always been mediocre and inactive. ”

Su Qin listened carefully and made a gesture of humbly seeking advice, of course, a person like him, who had originally struggled from the bottom, would not have the natural arrogance of a hereditary aristocrat like Zhao Xi.

After Zhao Xi opened his words, his resentment towards Su Qin suddenly decreased, this person is currently the prime minister of Zhao State and the leader of the ministers. Thinking of the festival with Su Qin the day before yesterday, he felt uneasy, so he took advantage of the drunkenness to ask Su Qin to forgive him for his impulsive behavior at the ceremony.

Zhao Xi confessed his heart and said: "My actions are from the heart, and I am worried that Zhao will be involved in the endless battle with Qin and affect the changes in the country. That's why I took the lead in standing up against it. ”

Su Qin listened to Zhao Xi's generous statement and thought: Since it is all for the sake of the political situation of Zhao State, there is a way to resolve it. It seems that Zhao Xi is not a narrow-minded old aristocrat like Xuanyang Jun and Zhao Yun, who is only for himself.

Su Qin was patient, using wine as a medium, and promoted his ideas to the fullest.

He repeatedly explained to Zhao Xi that he also advocated radical internal reform. However, in order to achieve a smooth and orderly policy change, it is necessary to take into account both internal and external policies, and ensure smooth internal changes through diplomacy.

In fact, Su Qin had already talked to Zhao Hou about these words, and Zhao Hou reused Su Qin because of this. But for this strategy, Zhao Guoqunchen still did not have the opportunity to understand and think deeply.

In order to let Zhao Xi also understand his own thoughts, Su Qin took the trouble to explain it to him.

Zhao Xi understood when he heard it, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to persuade those old nobles through him! Su Qin's borrowing beauty to invite Zhao Xi is really well-intentioned.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xi heard that Su Qin did not object to his proposition, but had other more comprehensive considerations, he was relieved, and his face became much more natural and relaxed.

He also felt that he didn't care about 3721 at the Prime Minister's inauguration ceremony, and he was talking nonsense, which was indeed a bit Meng Lang. Zhao Xi took the initiative to raise his glass and toast to Su Qin on his birthday. Only then did he recognize Su Qin as the prime minister in his heart.

After drinking and talking deeply with Zhao Xi this night, the two not only eliminated each other's prejudices, but also had a bit of sympathy for each other. The two of you have been talking about each other.

The Meng sisters were worried that the two would not be able to get along, and they were ready to exaggerate the atmosphere with gentleness and intervene to persuade peace if necessary, but the rhetoric they prepared was useless all night, and when Su Qin and Zhao Xi talked happily, they even forgot the existence of the two of them.

The Meng sisters were not willing to do nothing, they still inserted music and dance as much as possible, and persuaded them to drink, and the banquet lasted until the second half of the night in a lively and interesting atmosphere.

Zhao Xi was a little drunk, Su Qin persuaded him to rest in the peach garden for a while, but he refused to do anything, he must return to his house.

Su Qin had no choice but to order someone to pack up the car and send Zhao Xi back to his house, Meng Di was worried that Zhao Xi would meet the guards guarding the city in Handan, and he was drunk at that time, how could he tell his whereabouts! So she got up again and accompanied her and personally escorted Zhao Xi back to her home.

Su Qin sent Zhao Xi out of the peach garden and let out a long breath. The situation in Zhao's country was temporarily stabilized, and he was able to relax and start the next step of the envoy to Qi.

On the third day after Su Qin feasted Zhao Xi, he set off for the Qi Kingdom. He had gone to Handan Palace the day before to bid farewell to Zhao Hou, who unexpectedly asked him who he was going to take with him. Su Qin said: "The minister will bring the commander Zhou Shao and more than sixty warriors from the Prime Minister's Mansion to go. ”

Zhao Hou flipped through the paperwork in his hand and pretended to say inadvertently: "Oh, the widow understands. The widow would like to recommend two candidates to you. ”

"That's a good daring, I can't ask for it. I wonder who they are? Su Qin asked.

"Meng Di and Meng Ting, they already have a friendship with you, have martial arts, and are good at music and dance, so they should be suitable candidates." Zhao Hou said lightly, as if he had unintentionally remembered it.

Su Qin was a little surprised when he heard Zhao Hou recommend the Meng sisters, but soon he understood Zhao Hou's thoughts:

He still didn't worry about himself, after all, he was a foreigner and a foreigner, so he asked two relatives, Meng Di and Meng Ting, to accompany him. Nominally helping, but in fact it has the meaning of supervision.

Su Qin inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and thought: "I still think of Zhao Hou too sincerely. Although he rewarded himself richly, he was secretly suspicious. ”

"But let's just follow it, and see what the two sisters are capable of competing with themselves."

The night before Su Qin's departure, the Meng sisters came to the peach garden, and they had probably received Zhao Hou's instructions, so the things had to be stopped, enough to fit two carriages.

Su Qin originally wanted to bring thirty carriages, but now because of the addition of the two of them, two more were added out of thin air.

Ning Jun thought that Su Qin himself was going to accompany the Meng sisters, so he sulked, and he secretly complained to Su Qin, reminding him not to get into trouble.

When Su Qin told him that it was Zhao Hou's decision, Ning Jun stared in shock, feeling incomprehensible, and Su Qin said a few more words to him about Zhao Hou's hidden song before he reacted.

The Meng sisters looked as if they had never been assigned by Zhao Hou at all, and they were very excited, looking forward to this mission, as if they had been given an opportunity to make a long-distance trip.

Su Qin didn't break it either, he was still joking with them and grinding his temples affectionately.

Su Qin thought about it again and again, and decided to send Ning Jun to Yan State before leaving, and handed over his handwritten letter to Yan Hou Ji Sheng, telling Yan Hou that he had already said that he had agreed with Yan and Zhao, and was going to Qi State, and he would go to talk about the relationship between Yan and Qi.

Su Qin also asked Ning Jun to bring Wu Jing to Qi by the way, and to fight with him in Linzi. He considered that the team was huge, so he asked Wu Jing to help take care of it.

On the day of departure, after Su Qin's convoy left the east gate of Handan City, he gave the first instruction to the convoy, asking everyone not to hide their whereabouts, and when he met someone to inquire, although he told them that the leader of the convoy was Su Qin, the prime minister of Zhao State, and the destination was Handan, the capital of Qi State.

Su Qin's intention was to convey the news of his envoy to Qi to the ears of the King of Wei, so that the King of Wei thought that Zhao and Qi would make friends, so as to dispel the idea of attacking Zhao.

Sure enough, when they marched unhurriedly to the border of Zhao and Qi, Zhao Hou sent a fast horse to send a secret report, saying that the king of Wei had once again convened his confidants and generals to discuss and cancel the plan to attack Zhao.

In the secret report, the Marquis of Zhao instructed him to continue to send envoys, and to persuade other princes to persuade other princes when the opportunity arises, and to act cheaply when encountering the situation.
