Chapter 196: The Gentleman Hides the Sword
After the dinner, King Zhao waved everyone away and left Ziqin alone, which caused Zhao Mu to kill Ziqin in his heart.
However, from the moment he made up his mind to win the trust of King Zhao, Ziqin was ready to be an enemy of Zhao Mu, but he was not afraid of Zhao Mu's gaze.
When only King Zhao and Ziqin were left in the main hall, King Zhao's face suddenly showed a greedy look.
"The law of long-lived life Lian Jin can be said at this time."
King Zhao may be stupid, but when he is really serious, he has the appearance of a bit of a monarch, wrong is not so, the king of Zhao State is not his turn to do, you must know that there is no such thing as the eldest son succeeding to the throne in this era, and most of the kings of various countries are not the eldest sons.
"It's useless to say more, and let Lian Jin perform as the king."
Ziqin got up, saluted King Zhao respectfully, and then turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Ziqin naturally doesn't have a way to live for a long time, but he has ginseng pills, which are definitely much better than stimulants, that is, people who are dying can hang themselves.
At the entrance of the main hall, Ziqin looked at the soldier who had borrowed the long sword by himself before, and secretly said sorry in his heart, but he hugged his fists and asked this person for help.
At this time, Ziqin had already been given the title of imperial swordsman by King Zhao himself, and his status was far higher than that of the guards guarding the door.
At Ziqin's request, this guard walked into the hall, and just now Ziqin was standing firmly in the center of the hall, and he had already smashed his fist into the guard's heart.
Lian Jin played by Ziqin is not powerful, but he is by no means powerless, under this punch, the guard suddenly fell softly, blood spilled from his mouth and nose, but he was not alive.
King Zhao's eyes widened and looked at Ziqin, although he was dumbfounded, he also knew that Ziqin must have his own intentions for doing this.
In King Zhao's bull-eyed gaze, Zi Qin stretched out his hand, and a delicate porcelain bottle appeared in the palm of Zi Qin's hand out of nothing.
This is naturally Ziqin extracting ginseng pills directly from the system, however, how did King Zhao know that in King Zhao's eyes, Ziqin seemed to be the bottle of ginseng pills that he conjured out of thin air.
Ziqin didn't pay much attention to King Zhao's shock, but just poured out a ginseng pill from the bottle and stuffed it into the guard's mouth.
According to the system, ginseng pills are used to restore life and internal strength, and this guard is just an internal injury that was punched by Ziqin, even ordinary doctors can treat it, and it is really a waste to use this ginseng pill, but the effect is also wonderful.
In King Zhao's attention, the guard's face quickly recovered from the previous pale and ruddy, and in less than a cup of tea, he had already gotten up from the ground with a trace of anger and fear in his eyes.
"You are angry that I attacked you, and now you have a chance to attack me with a sword."
Looking at the guard's angry look, Ziqin shouted.
"This is not a provocation, this is an order, don't forget that I am a swordsman in front of the king, you are likely to be my subordinate, if you dare to disobey the order, I will kill you."
Ziqin's voice was categorical, and King Zhao showed a thoughtful look and also spoke.
"From today on, you are Lian Jin's subordinate, and you must obey every order of Lian Jin."
The king's order has been issued, and this guard no longer has the slightest choice, but the hatred for Ziqin in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, and he has made up his mind that even death will not make Ziqin feel better.
At that moment, he pulled out the long sword that he had returned before and slashed at Ziqin.
The guards are just ordinary soldiers, and they have been in the palace of King Zhao for a long time, they have not experienced the flames of war, although the swordsmanship is also pure, but it is not very powerful, Ziqin holds the golden light sword behind his back with both hands, and his feet are stepping on the mountain with mysterious steps to avoid the attack of this guard.
Dozens of moves in a row, the guard dragon spirit fiercely followed Ziqin to swing the sword, King Zhao's eyes had already shown a look of surprise, before Ziqin's punch King Zhao can be sure that the guard is definitely seriously injured, but only one pill is enough to restore the guard to its original state, for the first time for Ziqin's long-lived art King Zhao has great confidence.
Although Ziqin dodged the guard's attack, his eyes were always paying attention to King Zhao, and when he saw King Zhao's expression, he immediately knew that his performance had made King Zhao full of confidence in himself.
At that moment, his body turned, and one hand pressed on the guard's shoulder, and the golden light sword sheath struck out to easily remove the guard's long sword.
"Since you are my subordinate, what I have done to you is not excessive, the soldier takes obedience as his duty, what you did just now is very good, if I don't reward it, it will inevitably make people think that I am unfair, you have tried the pill yourself just now, and you want to know its value, now I will give you one, I hope you will cherish it."
Ziqin's voice sounded majestically, and the guard still wanted to struggle at first, but when Ziqin's words fell, the guard no longer had half of the resentment towards Ziqin in his heart, only full of gratitude and loyalty to Ziqin.
The value of that elixir was naturally clear to the guard, so the feeling of clear rewards and punishments made by Ziqin was infinitely strong, which was enough for any soldier under his command to die for him.
Letting go of his hand, he poured out a ginseng pill from the bottle and handed it to the guard, who immediately knelt down to take it and thanked Ziqin loudly.
With a gentle smile, Zi Qin ordered the guard to leave, and then turned his head to look at King Zhao.
"The king has seen the effect of this elixir, but this elixir is not the best elixir, and there is an elixir that can prolong people's lifespan here, although it cannot live forever, but it is easy to increase one's life span by thirty or fifty years."
Ziqin smiled lightly, and looked at King Zhao with infinite 'wind scratching', he took out the ginseng pill directly from the system before, and with the magical effect of the ginseng pill, King Zhao no longer had a trace of doubt about Ziqin's words.
Although it is a pity not to be able to live forever, it is also a great temptation to increase the life span by thirty or fifty years.
King Zhao stepped down from under the throne and came to Ziqin and grabbed Ziqin's hands.
"Lian Jin is really the great sage of my Zhao country."
From the powerful swordsman who defended the country, to the hero, to the great sage, to the current Zhao State sage, it is a process of acceptance of Ziqin by King Zhao, from looking down on him to now relying on him as a confidant, but Ziqin finally seized his position in King Zhao's heart.
"King, have you ever seen the scenery of Handan carefully?"
Without a trace, he pulled out his hands from King Zhao's hands, although he wanted to become King Zhao's confidant, and then use this to achieve his reputation, but he was far away from King Zhao, a good son of Longyang.
Pretending to walk to the window of the main hall in a deep voice, Ziqin looked out of the window, this is not the main hall when King Zhao was in the dynasty, but it is the main hall when the ministers were feasted, and the building is not short, but from here you can see most of the scenery of Handan.
Although it was night at this time, Handan was much more beautiful than Bai Yue through the hazy moonlight, and although Ziqin's pretended deep words were half pretended, they were also half true.
"This is a widow's Handan, how could a widow not look at it carefully."
King Zhao's tone is also slightly low, speaking of King Zhao is also a tragedy, his grandfather Wuling King Hufu is invincible in the world, although his father no longer has his grandfather's martial arts, but there are Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, Li Mu and other famous ministers and fierce generals, the strength of the country is unparalleled in the world.
By the time he arrived, with the Lian Po left by his father, Li Mu should also be able to make Zhao a powerful country not inferior to Great Qin, who wants to fight Changping and change his brain will lead to the destruction of Zhao's 400,000 elite troops.
Later, he was unwilling to cede the land and lose the city, and he was bullied by the 650,000 army of the Qin State, and he had to rely on the help of his uncle Pingyuanjun to invite Xinlingjun to lead 80,000 Wei troops to come to the rescue, and finally rescued Handan.
It's just that after this incident, King Zhao's prestige fell to the lowest in the world, if it weren't for the death of Pingyuan Jun later, I'm afraid that this King Zhao belongs to two people.
"My king knows the saying that a gentleman hides a weapon in his body."
Ziqin looked out the window, still looking like a master outside the world, but he slowly said a word, King Zhao was slightly stunned, his brows furrowed, and he was a little unhappy with Ziqin's words, but he still stood beside Ziqin and looked out the window.
The gentleman hides his weapon in his body, the explanation of this sentence is that the gentleman recuperates himself when he is unknown, waiting for the actual arrival, if Jiang Shangfeng is the king of Wen, he can show his talents, but in other words, it can also be understood that when you are bad, you will obediently hide and learn something, which clearly means that King Zhao is not good, Zhao Guo is not good, and King Zhao is a little displeased.
"Indeed, my king will not like my words."
Ziqin turned his head and looked at King Zhao with a smile, in the night, Ziqin's smile in the candlelight was extremely bright, and there was a strong sense of rendering, and King Zhao's original slightly unhappy mood suddenly dissipated.
"After the Battle of Changping and the Siege of Handan, the national strength of my Zhao State is now in the weakest time period in a hundred years, which is clear to my king, but my king might as well think about it the other way, and how the other six countries view my Zhao State at the moment."
Ziqin's smile became more and more gentle, but with a hint of confidence that was hidden deeply.
"At that time, the siege of Handan, relying on the power of Xinling Jun, my Zhao State was preserved, and it was because the other six countries categorically believed that my Zhao State had weakened, which was also the reason why Yan State dared to provoke my Zhao State, however, this is not necessarily a bad thing, Qin has always had the intention of unifying the world, but its strength is insufficient, it is to find a weak country to intersect within the six countries, in order to ensure the smooth destruction of the strong country, at this time my Zhao State is already weak, but there is no need to worry about entering the eyes of the strong Qin, this is the first advantage of my Zhao State."
Ziqin's voice was extremely indignant, King Zhao's eyes lit up slightly, the six countries of Kwantung were all afraid of Qin, and King Zhao was no exception, but Ziqin's words made King Zhao feel that it was really like this, Qiang Qin would not pay attention to Zhao Guo for the time being, and suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Ziqin has been observing King Zhao, when he saw King Zhao's performance, he was happy on the one hand, but he sighed on the other, and the happy King Zhao accepted his words, which means that he has won the trust of King Zhao whether he is private or public, however, sighing is because of King Zhao's unbearableness, the king of a country is still afraid of this, can you still expect him to govern a strong country that is strong enough to fight against Qin.
Fortunately, he was not prepared to bet on Zhao Guo, Ziqin sighed secretly, but continued to speak.
"However, my Zhao country is martial arts, it only takes ten years to restore its heyday, and at that time, only one famous general can pull Zhao back to the peak, and the banner of the world can not go down, of course, these ten years are a critical period, but the four words of recuperation are all-inclusive, if my king has time to even Jin can slowly come to my king."
Less than the easy diffusion in King Zhao's heart, Ziqin threw out a bigger pie again.
As for the various aspects involved in the four words of recuperation, Ziqin randomly picked out a few famous reform plans in the history of later generations, such as the government military system, the Juntian system, etc., although the language is unknown, but it is completely sufficient to coax the little white of King Zhao.
After saying this, Ziqin picked up some topics such as water conservancy and farming and explained to King Zhao, I have to say that although King Zhao was stupid, Ziqin's guidance was really ingenious, using the word "long life" to arouse the interest of King Zhao, increase longevity to make King Zhao excited, and then help King Zhao analyze that Qin State will no longer pay attention to Zhao State to relax King Zhao's mood, and then elaborate on the way to govern the country, and talk about all aspects, this remark is already omnipotent in King Zhao's heart.
When the moon passed in the middle of the sky, King Zhao's title for Ziqin had been changed from Zhao Guo Daxian to Mr.
The fact that a powerless person was able to be called a gentleman by the king of a country shows how successful Ziqin's fooling was.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to go back to Wujiabao, and I'm afraid that the Wujia family at this time will want to kill me, whether the king will prepare a place for me to stay."
Seeing that the moon passed in the middle of the sky, although King Zhao still made a deferential appearance, he couldn't help but yawn for a long time, Ziqin closed his mouth in time, and he was talented and not showing off, which was to be valued by the superiors, otherwise it could only be Yang Xiu.
"Mr. Wu family dares to move."
King Zhao's mind seemed to suddenly sober up when he heard the Wu family, and he pretended to shout angrily, and then looked at Ziqin in confusion and asked.
"The Wu family has always been loyal, Mr. is already my Zhao Guo Daxian, how can the Wu family be embarrassed Mr."
After all, the king is the king, no matter how stupid he is, he can act, Ziqin laughed secretly, but King Zhao's play was fake, if it wasn't really suitable for him, he almost couldn't help laughing.
"Don't pretend that you don't know, you are making preparations to clean up Wujiabao openly and secretly, is it possible that you found out that Wujiabao was fornicating with the Qin State."
Ziqin looked at King Zhao with a smile, of course, he was also pretending, he knew that King Zhao wanted to clean up the Wu family, but he also knew that King Zhao did not know that the Wu family was secretly with the Qin State.
"What, the Wu family is illicit with the Qin State."
Sure enough, when Ziqin said this, King Zhao's whole body jumped up, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy like a thunderstorm in June.
"Damn the Wu family, my winner has been kind to his Wu family for generations, and he wants to betray my winner."
Under the extreme anger, King Zhao even directly shouted his surname, which shows how much Wu's betrayal made King Zhao angry.
"The king doesn't know that the Wu family is secretly with the Qin State."
Ziqin pretended to be surprised and stood up, then laughed again.
"Why is the gentleman laughing?"
King Zhao looked at Ziqin with a little dissatisfaction, but he was not angry.
Looking at King Zhao's performance, Ziqin was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't understand that he already had a different status in King Zhao's heart, so even if he occasionally did something that King Zhao didn't like, it would never attract King Zhao's anger.
"The country of Zhao is weak, naturally there are some people who are unstable and want to leave, why should my king be angry about such disloyal and unrighteous people, but all such people have a lot of wealth, wouldn't it just provide a foundation for my king's recuperation."
Ziqin smiled confidently, although there was no Zhuge Wuhou's feather fan, that chic and all the demeanor in his hands was full of learning, the lethality of this self-confidence was really extraordinary, King Zhao's face suddenly changed, and a proud smile appeared on King Zhao's face.
"Why does Lian Jin help the widow like this, Hugh said that he is loyal to the Zhao State or the widow has the wisdom to know people, and the widow must listen to the truth."
Suddenly, the smile on King Zhao's face froze, and his eyes looked at Ziqin extremely seriously.
This move was unexpected by Ziqin, but Ziqin understood that this was probably his last pass with King Zhao, and after this pass, his position in Zhao State should no longer be bumpy.
"The state of Zhao is weak at this time, but it has the potential to rise, the state of Qin is strong, but there is no place for me, the state of Wei is good, but the prestige of the king of Xinling is probably not as good as the king of Wei, the state of Chu also has Chunshenjun, there is no Han Fei in South Korea and it is useless to go, as for the country of Qi, does the king think that the country of Qi is still the country of Qi of the king of Qi."
Ziqin had a faint smile on his mouth, and he came to the Kwantung countries one by one, but every sentence was on the point, King Zhao's eyes were full of light, and he felt more and more that Ziqin was extraordinary, however, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder and spoke.
"Has Lian Jin forgotten Yan Guo?"
"My king knows that Le Jian originally did not agree with King Yan to attack Da Zhao, but unfortunately, now Le Jian has been placed under house arrest, this kind of country is small, the geographical location is not good, how can Lian Mou, a country where the king is still so dim-witted."
Ziqin laughed, King Zhao was slightly stunned and then laughed, Yan attacked Zhao, although he was defeated by Lian Po, but it was also a humiliation for King Zhao, at this time, he heard Ziqin say that Yan Guo and King Yan were worthless, but King Zhao was really happy.
"Okay, Mr. is also working hard today, and the widow will take the lead to rest, but I don't know if Mr. needs the widow to arrange two palace maids to sleep."
King Zhao laughed and suddenly spoke, when he heard that King Zhao was going to personally lead him to rest, Ziqin almost had no fear to draw his sword and kill out of King Zhao's palace, although he wanted to become King Zhao's most trusted courtier, but he could make himself famous all over the world, but he never thought of being King Zhao's lover like Zhao Mu, but fortunately, King Zhao immediately came to arrange for the palace maid to sleep for him, which made Ziqin feel at ease.
"Hehe, if Lian Mou resigns, I am afraid that the king will not be at ease, thinking that Lian Mou has not sincerely surrendered, so Lian Mou is disrespectful."
Originally, Ziqin needed to practice swords at night, so he naturally didn't want any palace maids to sleep, but King Zhao had something else in his heart, and Ziqin had no choice but to take King Zhao's arrangement.
When receiving this arrangement, Ziqin seemed to be vaguely aware of the regret that flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.
Fortunately, King Zhao also kept the contract, and left after arranging the residence and the palace maid, but when he thought of King Zhao's regretful eyes, Ziqin still couldn't help but shiver, but this night was the only indulgent night since Ziqin crossed, just to not arouse King Zhao's suspicion.
However, in the face of such a king, Ziqin's desire to leave Zhao is getting stronger and stronger, of course, first of all, he needs to be famous all over the world, otherwise he has nowhere to go, and the situation of the Six Kingdoms analyzed for King Zhao before is not Ziqin's nonsense, but the fact is that there are so many geniuses at the end of the Warring States Period, if he can't be famous in the world, why should he participate in this game where heaven and earth are chessboards and the seven kingdoms are chess pieces.
