is called "Guanzhi", but in fact, Su Qin can't stand the tremor of the strong sound on the ear drum. However, Su Qin's false praise just now really made King Qi have a very good impression of Su Qin.

The ministers of the Qi State looked at Su Qin sideways, and some people felt that he was improvisable and highly skilled; However, there are also people who go straight, like the great general Tian Cheng, who thinks that he is bent to welcome.

However, for Su Qin, he had already suffered from not knowing how to make trade-offs, and the setbacks in his early years made him deeply understand: the goal exists, but the path to achieve it cannot be limited to one path.

The king of Qi boasted extremely in front of the envoys of Zhao State, and was happy for one night, and then met Su Qin with great interest, and went to visit the Jixia School Palace in Linzi City the next day.

Su Qin hurriedly thanked him, he had heard of the Jixia School Palace, which was a place founded by Qi Wang's online scholars in the world to discuss the way of heaven and the world, and there were many world-famous scholars. The process of visiting there was also a good opportunity to convince King Qi.

At the end of the banquet, Su Qin took the Meng sisters back in a carriage, and as soon as the car left Linzi Palace, they laughed at the band performance just now, Meng Di said: "The scale is indeed a must, but such a strong voice is really uncomfortable. It's a pity that we still have to pretend to appreciate it very much, it was really sad at that time. ”

Meng Ting and Su Qin were both amused by Meng Di's words. Meng Ting responded: "When we were in elementary school music and dance, the masters said that music and dance are born from a group of harmony between heaven and earth, so we should be harmonious and emotional, and take harmony and comfort as the criterion. Isn't this torture? ”

Su Qin also responded: "Probably the interest of music varies from person to person, but what everyone likes, Qi Wangtian is not interested, so he has to make it different." ”

The three of them talked and laughed and returned to Tianfu, Su Qin specially went to Zhou Shao and Wu Jing to inquire if Ning Jun had returned, and when he saw the two of them, he shook his head, and hurriedly returned to his residence to inspect, but Ning Jun was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Ning Jun.

Su Qin returned to his house, knowing that it was time for Lu Dao to go to bed, but he was completely sleepy, he was still worried about Ning Jun's whereabouts, he was not familiar with the place in Qi country, if something went wrong or missed, it was likely to be more than lucky.

When he was walking anxiously around the house, a visitor came to the courtyard, Su Qin heard the movement, so he went to the window to look out, and found that the person was walking towards his room, and when he got closer, he saw that the person was Tian Ming.

Su Qin hurriedly greeted him, he was also waiting for Tian Tong's reply because he handed over the short arrow and jade pendant to Tian Tong in the morning. Tian Ming arrived at Su Qin's door, and just knocked on the door, Su Qin immediately opened the door and invited Tian Ming to come to the house to talk.

After Tian Ming entered the house, he gave Su Qin a salute first, and Su Qin also hurriedly returned the salute. He then asked whether Su Qin's diet and daily life in Tianfu were accustomed to and so on. Su Qin replied one by one, saying that he was very satisfied, and deeply thanked Tian Ming and his father for their hospitality, and would definitely repay them if he had the opportunity in the future.

Tian Ming asked about these topics, but did not mention the progress of Tian Tong to listen to the jade pendant and the master of the short arrow, Su Qin felt that he didn't seem to know, so he didn't mention this matter. He thought to himself: "Tian Ming is probably the protocol doctor of Qi State, who came to greet himself and do his duty as a protocol." ”

Therefore, Su Qin also greeted Tian Ming politely, and waited for him to fulfill his duties, and then said goodbye and left. But Tian Ming has never had anything to say, and he has no intention of leaving for a while, and Su Qin also feels a little strange.

Tian Ming asked about the Meng sisters' feelings again, and Su Qin said, "The two sisters are next door, why don't we go to their house and sit down." ”

"No, no. I'm just asking about the situation, and if there's nothing dissatisfying about them, I'm not going to bother tonight, after all, they're women, and it's not appropriate for us to go at this time. Tian Ming excused himself.

Su Qin sighed and did not continue to talk. After another moment, Tian Ming inadvertently asked again: "I heard that Prime Minister Su also has a personal entourage, a gentleman named Ning Jun who lives here, I don't know what his situation is?" He came a few days late, and we never greeted him personally. ”

Su Qin was particularly surprised when he heard Tian Ming talk about Ning Jun, and said in his heart: "What does Ning Jun have to do with you?" He's just a friend who came with me, not even an envoy of Zhao, so why do you care about him? ”

Su Qin was surprised, and didn't know how to answer, so he said vaguely: "Oh, you're talking about Ning Jun, he's good, it's very good." ”

Tian Ming bit his lip and said, "Everyone is good, that's good, I saw that there were no lights and candles in his house, and I didn't see him acting with the prime minister, so I thought something happened to him?" ”

Su Qin listened to Tian Ming's words, as if he was very concerned about Ning Jun's movements, he didn't know if Tian Ming knew Ning Jun's whereabouts, so he also asked tentatively: "Mr. Ning Jun has a mission these days, and people have gone out, I don't know if Dr. Tian has seen him in person?" ”

Tian Ming shook his head again and again, and said: "I just ask casually, ask casually, hehe, everyone is okay, I will leave." As he spoke, he got up and left Su Qin's residence.

Su Qin was surprised that Tian Ming came and went very suddenly, and he seemed to care about the envoys of Zhao State, but in fact, he meant something else, Su Qin thought about it again, and he didn't touch his head, so he went to sleep, but he didn't sleep well all night, and he always felt that something big was going to happen around him.

When it was dark, Su Qin got up slowly, and he deliberately delayed for a while to ease his mind.

When Su Qin was washing slowly, Steward Sun of Tianfu came to the courtyard, he knocked on Su Qin's door, and said: "Prime Minister Su, today is the Shangsi Festival, someone from Linzi Palace, please go to Zishui with the king to enjoy the spring, and meet with the doctors of Jixia School Palace." ”

Su Qin heard Steward Sun's report in the house, and then remembered the agreement between Qi Wang Tian and himself last night, he thought that King Qi would choose a quiet day to visit the Xue Palace, but he didn't expect him to choose the Shangsi Festival and travel with the Jixia scholars.

Su Qin agreed, and told Steward Sun that he would go to the gate of Tianfu later, and asked someone from the palace to wait for a while.

Su Qin wiped his face tightly, and he didn't care about breakfast, so he hurriedly called the Meng sisters. The two of them had already gotten up, and had breakfast, and were chatting in the room, when they heard Su Qin say that they were traveling with King Qi, they both said that they were too restrained and did not want to go.

Su Qin said mysteriously: "Don't regret it, do you know what festival it is today?" ”

The two sisters thought about it, first of all, Meng Di thought of it, clapped her hands and said: "Today is the Shangsi Festival, which is called 'March 3' by the people, which is a good solar term for people in the city to go to the suburbs to play, why didn't you say it earlier, you should really fight." ”

Meng Ting also thought about it, and smiled and criticized Su Qin for being mysterious, they heard that the Spring Festival was in the spring, where is the reason not to go, this is a big festival of the year.

Su Qin also smiled and said: "I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I came to ask you to go together, you two don't appreciate it, but you want to blame me, and there is no heavenly reason." ”

When the Meng sisters heard that Su Qin hadn't eaten breakfast yet, they took out a small bamboo basket from their baggage, handed it to Su Qin, and said, "This is a sweet bait cake that we temporarily eat when we are hungry, so let's satisfy your hunger first." ”

Su Qin took the bamboo flute, smelled that it still carried the woman's fragrant powder, opened it and saw that there were really five or six small round bait cakes in it, so he thanked the Meng sisters and ate it sweetly.

The Meng sisters quickly packed up their small baggage, carried them on their arms, and followed Su Qin to the gate of Tianfu. When they came there, they saw that the eunuchs in the palace were already sitting in the carriage, anxiously waiting for Su Qin and the others.

Su Qin asked them to wait a little longer, and he himself went to the residence of the mission, on the one hand, he asked Wu Jing to prepare the carriage, and on the other hand, he instructed Zhou Shao to stay behind, and ordered him to pay close attention to whether Ning Jun had returned. He became more and more worried about Ning Jun's safety.

After making preparations, Su Qin took Wu Jing's carriage, went to the gate of Tianfu to pick up the Meng sisters, and went to Linzi Palace with the eunuchs.

The eunuchs waited for a while, of course they were not happy, but Su Qin was not in the mood to look at their faces, he followed the carriage of the eunuchs and went straight to Linzi Palace.

When Su Qin arrived there, the King of Qi was not ready, after all, it was the king's travel, the chariot and the guards, and a large group of people and horses, all of which had to be properly prepared. Su Qin then waited outside the palace gate.

Half an hour passed, the palace gate opened, and King Qi's chariot came out of the palace, when he passed by Su Qin's carriage, he saw Su Qin and the Meng sisters waiting under the car, so he stretched out half of his body, waved at Su Qin and the others, and signaled them to follow.

Su Qin and the others then got into the carriage again, followed the most lude of the King of Qi's queue, went all the way out of the city, walked two miles, and came to the bank of Zishui.

At this time, it is already three poles of the sun, a large number of people have gathered on both sides of the Zishui River, they can't count them at all, they are sitting or lying, walking or standing, all enjoying the beautiful spring scenery.

The guards of the king of Qi opened the way, and when the people saw the king of Qi's chariot, they gave way, and when they reached the river, there were no idle people within a hundred steps around.

King Qi got off the chariot and walked to the bank of Zishui, looking at the willow green, the river water is clear and abundant, and the people on both sides of the river are boiling, and he can't help but sigh with emotion: "What a great spring!" ”

Su Qin and the others followed King Qi and admired the beauty of spring with him. At this time, more than a dozen carriages came from the city, and there were also palace guards in front of them to open the way, and they came straight to the place where the king of Qi was.

When they arrived at the river, the people in the carriage got off one after another, and Su Qin saw that they were all Eguan Bo belts, full of books, and knew that Lu Dao was a scholar from the Jixia School Palace called by King Qi.
