As soon as the sky was bright, Lü Buwei came to the palace of King Qin, and the maid guarding the palace saw Xiangguo coming, and hurriedly entered the inner hall to report to King Qin, Zichu hurriedly got up from the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the outer hall to meet Lü Buwei.

Seeing Zi Chu coming out, Lu Buwei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are the two beauties sent by the subordinate yesterday still satisfied?" Zi Chu yawned and nodded, and said with a smile: "The widow has never lived such a fairy-like life, and the minister of the country has a heart." I wonder why the prime minister came to find this king so early? Lu Buwei stepped forward to help Zichu and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that according to the usual practice, I will report to the king about yesterday's morning."

Zi Chu waved his hand again and again and said: "Lu Xiangguo's affairs are naturally rest assured, if there is no major matter, Xiangguo can make his own decisions."

Lü Buwei said: "The Zhengguo Canal collapsed, and the Guanzhong area suffered serious floods, and the minister has ordered people to open a warehouse for disaster relief; In addition, Zhang Yiyu fled to the party, and the minister had sent cavalry to pursue him. How to deal with it like this, please also ask the king to show it. ”

Zi Chu hurriedly clapped his hands and praised: "This is very good, Xiangguo has supported this king all the way, and he is very clear about how to deal with people, and this king is naturally relieved."

Lü Buwei hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the king's praise, the minister must do his best and never let down the king's trust in the minister." Zi Chu smiled and helped Lu Buwei up, at this time the two beauties had also come over, Lu Buwei glanced at him, and the two beauties came over to entangle Zi Chu, Zi Chu was overjoyed, Lu Buwei hurriedly got up and retired, Zi Chu was busy ordering the palace maid to send each other, and he let the two beauties help him into the inner room.

Lü Buwei returned to the mansion and immediately wrote to inform Chen Xiang of Li Xin's intention to attack China, hoping that he could prepare early in case of accidents.

A few days later, the letter arrived, Chen Xiang saw the letter, pondered for a while, then quickly wrote a strip of cloth, ordered someone to wrap the strip of cloth around the pigeon's legs, and let it fly westward. This carrier pigeon was specially domesticated by Chen Xiang's people, and it flew high and extremely fast, and Chen Xiang would only use it when he conveyed urgent and important matters.

Lü Buwei soon received the cloth strip sent by the carrier pigeon, and when he opened it, there were only a few simple words on the cloth strip: Attract Qin to attack Yan, and the hostage Prince Dan of Yan State is available. Lü Buwei immediately understood, and hurriedly threw the strips of cloth into the fire and burned them to ashes.

After dealing with all this, Lü Buwei summoned his cronies and whispered to him secretly, and the cronies took the order and left.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was very common for countries to send royal princes to other countries as hostages, and Ji Kang was also sent to Zheng Guo as a hostage of the Slippery Kingdom. And today's Yan State and Qin State are just like the Slippery State and Zheng State back then, the Yan State is weak, so it can only send Ji Dan, who is the crown prince, as a hostage. In recent years, the relationship between Qin and Yan has been tense, so as a hostage, Prince Dan was often bullied and persecuted, and his situation was unbearable.

On this day, Prince Dan was wandering on the street alone, and suddenly several big men came out from both sides, and ran away without saying anything, everyone on the street has long been accustomed to this situation, and they all guessed which prince and nobleman were full of food and wanted to take this nest prince out of anger.

Prince Dan struggled hard, but the big man was so strong that he held him dead and couldn't move. I don't know how long I walked, I came to a dilapidated mountain temple, and the Han put down the prince Dan and dispersed. Prince Dan was puzzled, and when he was wondering, he saw a person walking out slowly from behind the temple, and when he looked at himself, it turned out to be Lu Buwei, the minister of the dynasty.

Prince Dan asked in surprise: "I don't know what Lord Xiangguo is doing in this barren mountain and wilderness?" I think that if you want to kill me with the status of Xiangguo-sama, you don't have to hide it. Lu Buwei laughed when he heard this, and said, "Since the prince knows that I can pinch you to death like an ant, if I want to take your life, why bother so much?"

Prince Dan pondered for a long time, puzzled, Lü Buwei approached and said: "To be honest, my great benefactor had a similar experience with the prince before, and when he heard about the prince's situation, he instructed me to rescue the prince and escape back to Yan no matter what."

After hearing this, Prince Dan hurriedly knelt down and said with tears: "Dan has been in the Qin State for decades, suffering every day, life is better than death, and he has long been left in the world. If you can save me from life, it will be like my new parents. Dare to ask the name of Xiangguo Engong? Lu Buwei replied coldly: "Engong never leaves a name for his work, but he just asks me to bring you a sentence, they are all fallen people at the end of the world, why should they have known each other when they meet." Prince Dan cried bitterly when he heard this, and thanked him.

Lu Buwei gently picked up the crown prince Dan and said: "Engong also wants the prince to remember that men should be self-reliant, and when you have enough strength, you must do a hundred times more to those who have humiliated and brutalized you." Prince Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Dan will live up to his teachings."
