Chapter 212: Dog Slaughter Warning

For Ziqin's return, King Zhao showed a high degree of welcome.

The city gate of Handan was wide open, and King Zhao personally led a hundred officials out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and the importance he showed to Ziqin was enough to make any superior who considered himself a corporal of Lixian blush.

It's just that I don't know why Ziqin feels a little weird.

Especially when Xiang Shaolong stood behind King Zhao with a gentle smile, Ziqin felt an aura of conspiracy rushing across his face.

People in this era may be heroic and smart, but the stones of other mountains can attack jade, but Xiang Shaolong's ability is enough to play with anyone in this era.

Ziqin didn't dare to be careless, but the most important thing was that Ziqin's appearance at King Zhao seemed a little wrong.

The King of Zhao today doesn't seem to be quite like the King Zhao that Ziqin saw in the past.

Today, King Zhao was too enthusiastic and polite, and resolutely did not allow Ziqin and those cavalry to salute him.

It's just that Ziqin did not have the slightest arrogance because of King Zhao's enthusiasm, and Ziqin led the remaining less than 2,000 cavalry to kneel on one knee to salute King Zhao.

This move seemed to make King Zhao a little dissatisfied, and King Zhao kept letting all the cavalry get up, but the more King Zhao was like this, the more he didn't dare to overstep the courtesy.

In Handan City, thousands of people went out of the city to greet the people of the so-called heroes of Zhao, and Ziqin and all the cavalry respectfully saluted King Zhao before getting up.

Nearly 2,000 cavalry, and Ziqin's actions maintained a mysterious rhythm, as if one person was controlling these nearly 2,000 bodies at the same time.

This kind of military appearance made the people of the entire Handan cheer, as if they had seen the invincible Zhao army before the Battle of Changping again, and they could live and work in Handan with peace of mind.

The smile on King Zhao's face became more and more gentle, and he seemed to be extremely satisfied with the cavalry led by Ziqin.

At that time, King Zhao held a banquet to entertain Ziqin and those cavalry generals, and dozens of people gathered in King Zhao's palace.

Halfway through the wine, King Zhao suddenly had a sad look on his face.

"Lian Qing, you tell the widow honestly, whether the third princess and the little sister have died in the Wei country, you don't have to be afraid that the widow will be sad, from the time I received the news that your three thousand cavalry crossed the Wei country, the widow was ready to accept this fact."

King Zhao's voice was extremely low, and his tone was also full of sadness.

Ziqin looked at King Zhao, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, in fact, he didn't know about this matter at the moment, if it was said that under Jing Ke's protection, these two women would have an accident, but Ziqin didn't believe it.

But how should he tell King Zhao that he handed over two crucial women to his brother, and as a result, his brother disappeared.

Ziqin let out a long sigh while holding the wine bottle and looked up at King Zhao.

"The king, the ministers have already sent someone to escort the third princess and Mrs. Ya away when they attacked the palace of King Wei, please don't worry about it, it won't be long before the third princess and Mrs. Ya will return to Handan."

Helplessly, Ziqin could only drag it first.

Fortunately, King Zhao didn't seem to want to pursue this matter, and after Ziqin's answer, King Zhao wiped his moist eyes and picked up his wine glass.

"Today is a day of great joy, and the widow should not say these words, come, soldiers, the widow will give you a cup."

After King Zhao finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the wine bottle in his hand.

These generals, who had never even seen King Zhao before, suddenly responded with a bang.

The banquet seems to have reached a climax at this point, and the guests and hosts are happy, but I don't know why Ziqin always feels that things seem a little weird.

His eyes couldn't help but look outside the palace, where Xiang Shaolong was guarding with his sword.

This guy seems to have really set his surname as the general of the Handan garrison, guarding Handan and the palace of King Zhao for King Zhao.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and when the banquet ended, King Zhao called out to Ziqin.

When everyone left, King Zhao waited for Ziqin to the side hall, here, but at this time it was already a different scene, Lian Po and Li Mu were waiting here with a few generals.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ziqin always felt that Lian Po and Li Mu seemed to be much gentler when they looked at him this time.

"Lian Jin, do you know that Julu Hou was assassinated."

As soon as he entered the side hall, Lian Po had already spoken in a low voice, and Ziqin's face showed a shocked look at the right time.

"Who dares to assassinate Juluhou so boldly, and who has the strength to assassinate Juluhou in Handan."

Ziqin looked at Lian Po in surprise, as if he was really frightened by the news.

In the side hall, Lian Po and Li Mu smiled bitterly together, but King Zhao sat down on the chair next to him, where did King Zhao still have the same brilliance as before, and the whole person was paralyzed like a frosted eggplant.

"I don't know who the murderer is, but there are traces of horse manure left at the scene, how noble the Julu Marquis is, his mansion is naturally cleaned every day, so we suspect that this horse manure was accidentally left by the enemy."

Lian Po's voice was low, and a faint fierceness flashed in his eyes.

A sneer appeared on Li Mu's face next to him.

"I have been dealing with war horses all year round, but I know that it is impossible for a soldier to have horse manure on his body, even if he eats and sleeps with a war horse every time, unless, this person is not a warrior, but a horseman, a horseman."

Li Mu's voice was extremely firm, almost decisive, and Ziqin's face once again showed a shocked look.

"Could it be that Wujiabao is ready to defect, otherwise how dare they make a move against Juluhou."

Ziqin knew that Lian Po and Li Mu were not simple characters, and it was not good to act in the play, so he expressed his guess in time, and the murderer must be from Wujiabao.

"They naturally want to escape, even Wujiabao's most proud swordsman Xiang Shaolong has also taken refuge in the king, the dead soldiers who have been trained in Wujiabao for decades now have no secret to us, if Wujiabao is not ready to escape, I am afraid there is no need to prepare again."

Lian Po sneered, and a hint of jujube red appeared on the old man's old face, and it was obvious that the old man was also extremely excited about dealing with Wujiabao.

"That's really gratifying."

Ziqin laughed unnaturally, Xiang Shaolong took refuge in King Zhao, Ziqin couldn't believe it, but looking at Lian Po, Li Mu said that Xiang Shaolong's look, but Ziqin didn't dare to accuse Xiang Shaolong at all.

At this time, these two guys said that Xiang Shaolong may not want to beat Qin for a while, and told Ziqin not to target Xiang Shaolong again, because they were already ministers in the same palace.

"Lian Qing, compared to the matter of Wujiabao, you have to go out in the end, and there is no second army outside Handan City that can compare with the cavalry under your command."

King Zhao's voice suddenly sounded lifelessly.

Saying this, King Zhao's eyes looked at Lian Po and Li Mu again.

"The two Qing families must help Lian Jin, Wujiabao, the culprit who killed the Julu Marquis, I will definitely let them die without a place to be buried."

In the last sentence, Ziqin finally knew why he felt strange to King Zhao, because after this sentence, King Zhao's tears also followed, this guy thought that he was moved by Zhao Mu's true feelings, and during this time Zhao Mu's departure made this guy heartbroken, but he has not healed the wound until now.

Of course, thinking like this in his heart, when King Zhao's words fell, Ziqin also hurriedly got up and knelt down on one knee with Lian Po and Li Mu towards King Zhao, and loudly responded to this order.

"Lian Qing doesn't know, during this time, Xiang Shaolong also trained a strange soldier, which is rare in the world, if you have time, Lian Qing might as well compete with Xiang Shaolong to see who is stronger under your command."

After complaining, the tears on King Zhao's face had not yet dried, but he squeezed out a smile and spoke to Ziqin.

When he heard this, Ziqin's heart sank slightly, Xiang Shaolong still trained a special force in the end, but he didn't know if the combat effectiveness of this force was exactly the same as that of the special forces that could be called the top troops in later generations.

"The iron cavalry of the Zhao State only fights for the king's intentions, and the place where the king fingers is where my Zhao cavalry charges, everything is at the command of the king."

Ziqin spoke loudly, and a happy smile appeared on King Zhao's face.

After most of the day's banquet, coupled with the crying and laughing just now, King Zhao seemed to be extremely tired, waved his hand to signal Ziqin and Lian Po, and Li Mu retreated.

The three of them thanked King Zhao and then retreated, but at this time, Ziqin didn't know that when he and Lian Po, Li Mu's figure disappeared into the side hall, and King Zhao's eyes that were still full of tears shot a trace of hideousness.

And not long after, Xiang Shaolong walked into the side hall.

The two chattered in the hall for a long time, which was longer than the discussion of King Zhao, Ziqin, Lian Po, and Li Mu.

Of course, these Ziqin didn't know that after bidding farewell to King Zhao, he left the palace of King Zhao with Lian Po and Li Mu, and when Lian Po separated at the fork in the road, he suddenly called out to Ziqin.

"Do a good job for the king, Wujiabao really deserves to die, Zhao Mu is not a good person, don't take the rest to heart."

This was a very strange sentence, but Ziqin was stunned for a moment.

Killing, setting up suspicions, Ziqin has always thought that what he is doing is unaware, but when Lian Po said these words, Ziqin suddenly understood, I am afraid that Lian Po has already suspected that it was him who killed Zhao Mu.

Today, in the side hall, I am afraid that most of Lian Po's words are to test him.

However, no matter how he thought about it, Ziqin couldn't figure out where he had revealed his flaws, not to mention when he killed Zhao Mu, even in the side hall tonight, he was also cautious, and he didn't say much.

It stands to reason that no matter how shrewd Lian Po is, it is impossible to discover his flaws.

The only thing to be happy about now is that Zhao Mu has done a lot of evil, and Lian Po and Li Mu have been extremely disgusted with this person, so even if they knew that Zhao Mu was killed by Ziqin, they were silent, but used this assassination incident to make King Zhao make up his mind to clean up Wujiabao.

The only reason why Zhao was stronger than the rest of the Kwantung states was cavalry, and Wujiabao's eyebrows on Qin finally angered these two peerless generals of Zhao.

Ziqin guessed the thoughts of the two, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly, these two people are not smart, but in the end they are still planted in the hands of Xiang Shaolong.

After the two of them saw that it was themselves who killed Zhao Mu, Ziqin could already be sure that Xiang Shaolong also saw that Zhao Mu was killed by him.

In the case of seeing this fact, Xiang Shaolong is also known as the general of King Zhao, which may not be without any secrets, and the most important son Qin can be sure that Xiang Shaolong must not have betrayed Wu Tingfang.

Although this guy is a breeding horse, he can be the protagonist, but he has his own ability and integrity after all.

Maybe there is no one in this era, what will make Xiang Shaolong feel that he must be loyal, but this guy will never abandon the woman who loves him, which may also be the biggest advantage of the breeding horse.

When he returned to his residence in Handan, Ziqin still didn't figure things out, and now Handan is like a mess, if he is a smart person, he may be able to peel off the cocoon, but Ziqin is not very good at using his brain.

This night, Ziqin tossed and turned, but he even forgot about his usual cultivation, and the second day, before dawn, Ziqin had already gotten up.

One night, he still didn't come up with anything, so he decided to take the initiative.

He assumed that Xiang Shaolong had a connection with Wujiabao, and then assumed that Xiang Shaolong was ready to betray Zhao with Wujiabao while deceiving the trust of King Zhao.

Then, there will be a key point that Xiang Shaolong can't avoid, and that is Yingzheng.

Of course, in addition to Ying Zheng, there is also Zhao Pan, Ziqin doesn't know when Ying Zheng will die, and Xiang Shaolong will come up with a way to use Zhao Pan to pretend to be Ying Zheng, but he doesn't dare to take the risk of waiting, so he needs to shoot directly at the two.

Of course, it is impossible for him to kill the door directly, in that case, Xiang Shaolong is afraid that he will die of laughter.

After leaving the residence, he went to the palace of King Zhao, and in the original book, Xiang Shaolong once guessed that Zhao Mu's plan to deal with the Qin State was to raise Yingzheng into a gentleman, so as to bring down the Qin State.

Ziqin went to King Zhao's palace at this time, but he also planned to follow this line of thought.

Let King Zhao return Yingzheng and exchange Yingzheng through reciprocity with Qin, that is to say, let Qin redeem Yingzheng with weapons, grain and grass.

The reason why the Qin State and Wujiabao Antong ditch is not because of Wujiabao's ability to raise horses, in fact, in this era, there is no shortage of horse families in any country, as the highest level of armament war horses are the focus of each country.

Wujiabao's ability to raise horses may not be weak, but Qin will never be rare, the only reason why Qin contacted Wujiabao is that Wujiabao has a lot of power in Handan, which is enough to rescue Yingzheng.

However, the rescue is dangerous after all, if King Zhao takes the initiative to send Yingzheng back at this time, the role of Wujiabao seems to have disappeared all of a sudden.

This is a trick to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, whether it is to deal with Wujiabao or Xiang Shaolong, there is no problem.

Ziqin went straight into the palace and found King Zhao.

What made Ziqin happy was that King Zhao seemed to have known this strategy, and as Xiang Shaolong guessed in the original book, Zhao Mu had already planned this strategy.

At this time, Ziqin said it, so he did not receive the slightest suspicion from King Zhao.

"Lian Qing, reciprocity is a good thing, but I think that my Zhao State can now take on the responsibility of reciprocity, except for Lian Xiang and General Li Mu, you are the only one, but when the time comes, you still need to take Yingzheng to the border of Qin State to carry out this reciprocity."

In the end, King Zhao seemed to speak slightly guilty.

just came out of the Wei State, and he was going to fight against the Qin State again, even if the King of Zhao was stupid, he knew that he was guilty of Ziqin.

Of course, at this time, no matter how much Ziqin thinks that King Zhao's guilt is justified, he will never show it, but will greatly show his loyalty.

If you are unwilling to work hard, who is willing to let you go to the salary smoothly.

"Hehe, since Lian Jin agreed to this matter, then Lian Qing might as well go to Zhao Ji's side to walk around a lot during this time, after all, it will be more convenient to be familiar with Yingzheng when he takes this guy to the border of Qin in the future."

Obviously, Ziqin's cheerfulness made King Zhao very happy, and sitting on the throne, King Zhao laughed and instructed Ziqin.

"The subordinate will go to place Zhao Ji today."

At this time, of course, Ziqin would not refute King Zhao, in fact, after coming back, Ziqin already felt that the man who had lost his 'lover' had shown a half-wind demon state, and he had to obey this man as much as possible, otherwise the ghost knew what crazy things this man who held the power of a country would do.

Leaving the palace, Ziqin went straight to Zhao Ji's side, this woman because she gave birth to a child of a stranger, but instead became the most unfree person in Handan, surrounded by soldiers outside the residence for many years, Ziqin knew that anyone who could enter the house at this time would definitely be able to please that woman.

Of course, he is not a breeding horse, and he doesn't need to please that woman, but he can use this woman to plant a big fight for Xiang Shaolong.

Although Handan City is not as prosperous as Daliang, there are many people, but Ziqin Zema did not dare to run fast, but only drove slowly on the streets.

He was wandering slowly, when suddenly, a rough voice sounded on the side of the street.

"Selling dog meat, selling dog meat, the cunning rabbit is dead, this lackey can only cook, the best dog meat, hunting dog meat, come and see."

This voice was extremely rough, although Ziqin didn't hear it much, but he was definitely impressed, and he suddenly looked up at the side of the street.

On the side of the street, under a shed made of rags, Dog Tu was cutting open half of the clean dog with his bare body, shouting loudly as he cut it.

Ziqin looked at Dog Tu carefully, this guy had definitely seen him, but he didn't come up to greet him.

Ziqin doesn't think it's this guy who doesn't remember the old feelings.

Ziqin looked at Dog Tu, and suddenly the words before Dog Tu sounded in his mind, the cunning rabbit died, and the lackey cooked.

Ziqin suddenly shuddered, he finally knew what he had overlooked, and finally knew why he always felt that King Zhao was strange.

This guy is by no means just because his 'man' died, but also because this guy feels that Wei is no longer a threat, and Qin has a way to deal with it, and Jiu Huo Dan himself has already refined a lot of grains for him, plus the nearly 2,000 almost invincible cavalry are all listening to him.

King Zhao had a killing intent on him, just like this guy killed Li Mu later.

Just because he made King Zhao feel threatened, don't say that he is useless to King Zhao for the time being, in fact, Li Mu is still resisting Qin later, anyone can see that Li Mu is dead, and King Zhao can kill Li Mu when no one in Zhao can resist Qin, not to mention him now.
