Chapter 173: Secret Meeting (2)

"After the beginning of spring next year, I should go to Chujing, Zhi'er, and when the time comes, you and your uncle will go with me!" When Zheng Yuan heard this, he suddenly smiled and invited Xiao Qiongzhi.

He is a person that the King of Chu and Prince Zhao value very much, and if he goes to Beijing to see the King of Chu with him, there are only advantages, no disadvantages.

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly responded obediently: "Okay, Mr. Zheng."

At the same time, she took the opportunity to look at the Qin Dynasty again, and said very enthusiastically: "Lord Qin, I didn't go to Beijing with you because of your kindness, and I was very sorry not to go, you see, can you enjoy your face, come to my house tonight, and have a light meal?"

"I have a big ball of fish that my uncle caught, a pheasant he caught, and some nice cured meat."

Qin Chao happened to love game, and immediately his eyes lit up, and he replied with a smile: "Good!"

And Xu Nian and Zheng Yuan have been coming to Zhoujia Village for several days, and they have not been invited by Xiao Qiongzhi to her house for dinner, and they are very envious of the Qin Dynasty.

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, and both understood the meaning of each other's hearts.

The next moment, Zheng Yuan smiled and said: "Zhi'er, Xu Zhixian and I both like to eat wild meat such as fish and pheasants, you see, do you want to invite us into your house for dinner tonight?"

Xiao Qiongzhi was in order to fulfill Zhou Dazhi's request, and only invited Qin Chao to his home for dinner, but he didn't expect Zheng Yuan to come to such a song.

She thought about it, and with an idea, she attached it to Zheng Yuan's ear, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Mr. Zheng, you and Xu Zhixian's family are in the county, and I didn't plan to invite you to my house for dinner."

"I plan to send you a group of fish, a pheasant and some cured meat directly to take home when you leave!"

Zheng Yuan was pleasantly surprised.

Xiao Qiongzhi's plan, for him and Xu Nian, is far more affordable than calling the Qin Dynasty and going directly to the house for dinner!

He hurriedly squeezed his eyebrows and said to Xiao Qiongzhi, "Zhi'er, your plan is very good. Lord Qin has come from afar and needs to be entertained, so go back quickly and inform your family to prepare. I was just joking with you, don't take it seriously. ”

"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi understood.

At the right time, the Qin Dynasty came to Xiao Qiongzhi's house on time.

Considering that when Xiao Qiongzhi was by the river, he only invited him, although he brought two entourages with him, he just kept them and waited outside the courtyard gate.

Xiao Qiongzhi noticed it, and secretly appreciated the Qin Dynasty's cautious behavior.

Together with Zhou Dayong and Zheng Bang, who came out to greet the Qin Dynasty, she brought the Qin Dynasty into the main house, pointed to Zhou Dazhi, who was already present, and told the Qin Dynasty: "This Lord Qin, this is my father, his name is Zhou Dazhi, he has been waiting for you for a long time, he has something important, I will discuss it with you."

"Oh?" The Qin Dynasty was surprised.

Before he came over, he specially asked Xu Nian and Zheng Yuan about the family members of Xiao Qiongzhi's family, and he already knew that Zhou Dazhi was in the army, but he really didn't expect that Zhou Dazhi would appear here.

And Zhou Dazhi had expected that the Qin Dynasty would be surprised, smiled and bowed to him, and then took the initiative to tell the Qin Dynasty in detail about the fact that he was ordered to send the King of Qi and the entire prince to Beijing.

After listening carefully, Qin Chao's expression changed from surprise to surprise, and he patted Zhou Dazhi's shoulder twice, and said excitedly: "General Zhou, you have a heart!"

"You don't know, Marshal Yang about twelve days ago, he had already sent a message to the king of Chu, saying that he had sent more than ten groups of people to escort the king of Qi and the whole prince into Beijing, and there was only one of them, and it was the real king of Qi and the whole prince."

"Later, along the way, Fu Yin successively came with news that more than ten groups of people who escorted King Qi and the whole prince into Beijing were attacked, and no one was left alive, but all the escorted King Qi and the whole prince were gone."

"Therefore, the king of Chu and the ministers in Beijing have been wondering whether the king of Qi and the whole prince are now in our hands, or have fallen into the hands of the Chu army spies who rescued them."

Zhou Dazhi said with a solemn expression: "Marshal Yang has long expected that our Chu State, whether in the army or among the people, must have been mixed with the spies of the Qi State long ago, otherwise, when the King of Qi invaded our Chu State, he would not have found out all our deployments so smoothly at the beginning, causing us heavy casualties."

"In the past two months, he has caught a lot of spies from the army, and through them, he learned about the situation of the Qi State and the spies among our Chu people."

"Therefore, he knew very well that the road from Liangzhou to the capital was not very peaceful, and when he sent people to escort the king of Qi and the whole prince into Beijing, he deliberately used a trick to divide into more than ten groups of people to act."

"In fact, along the way here, my group has encountered two groups of killers, and several brothers have died."

"In desperation, I had to dress up King Qi and the whole prince as women, and we ourselves dressed up as their subordinates or passers-by who fled the famine, so that we could get here safely."

No wonder Zhou Dazhi came back with King Qi and the whole prince before, but he was never discovered, and he used the tricks of breaking the whole into pieces and pretending to be a woman!

Xiao Qiongzhi originally thought that the corpse was found by the river that day, and most of the people were watching the corpse by the river.

Hearing this, I realized that the more important reason was that many people from the village came to recognize the corpse that day, and there were many idle people, and it gave Zhou Dazhi the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, avoid everyone's sight, and return home.

She thought about it and asked the Qin Dynasty curiously: "Lord Qin, when the current new King of Qi sent someone to ask for peace with the King of Chu, did you talk about how to deal with the matter of the King of Qi and the whole prince?"

The Qin Dynasty said with a solemn expression: "The envoy sent by the King of Xinqi to sue for peace, when I came here, had not yet arrived in Chujing to meet the King of Chu."

"However, he mentioned in the letter to the king of Chu that if the king of Qi and the whole prince are in the hands of the king of Chu, they must see people in life and corpses in death."

"In this way, the new King of Qi is hinting to the King of Chu to kill the King of Qi and the whole prince, otherwise, he should directly say that if the King of Qi and the whole prince are in the hands of the King of Chu, they must be treated kindly." Xiao Qiongzhi analyzed carefully.

Qin Chao nodded: "Yes, the King of Chu also thought that this was what the King of New Qi meant, and he originally planned to wait for the people sent by Marshal Yang to secretly kill the King of Qi and the entire prince when they successfully sent the King of Qi and the entire prince into Beijing, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart, and at the same time, also make the King of New Qi satisfied."

"However, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao believes that Wei Feng, the national teacher of the Great Xiao Dynasty, married seven daughters respectively through the instructions of the Great Xiao Emperor, gave birth to seven sons to the monarchs of the seven countries, and the plan is very big."

He persuaded the King of Chu to leave the lives of the King of Qi and the entire crown prince, and asked him to understand the ins and outs of the King of Qi's invasion of Chu. The king of Chu felt that what he said was reasonable, and had already decided to listen to his opinion and act. ”

It seems that Prince Zhao has seen Wei Feng's true intention to marry his daughter back then, so it's okay.

And Wei Feng is the biggest enemy.

Compared to him, the king of Qi and the whole prince, who have no chance of turning over, even if they can make a small storm, they are not worried at all.

Xiao Qiongzhi was secretly relieved.
