Chapter 24: Zhao Xie, Qin Shi Huang Assassinated?
Cao Xiu is a loyal and honest person!
Zhao Xie recalled the past and sighed with emotion.
I still remember that the country was destroyed in that era, his royal brother Wang Jia was captured, and the Zhao clan was moved to Xianyang and imprisoned. He fled to Pei County desperately, but was fortunately rescued by Cao Xiu. At that time, Qin had destroyed the five kingdoms, and only the Qi country was left to watch from the wall, but anyone could see that the Qi country would perish!
At that time, Zhao Xie was extremely desperate. He hated the Qin State and took everything from them. The state of Zhao was destroyed, and Gongzi Jia fled to Daidi and established himself as the acting king. For several years, it was only to resist the violent Qin, but it was still impossible to escape the destruction.
The country is ruined, how can he not be angry?
As a result, Cao Xiu's words woke him up.
"In the past, the king of Yue was defeated and kept horses for the tomb of King Wu for several years. After returning to the country, he was anxious and worried, put his courage in sitting, sat and lay on his back, and tasted his gall when he ate and ate, and finally King Yue defeated King Wu. Because of a momentary defeat, Zhao Jun is going to seek death like a coward? ”
No matter what, he will live!
As long as you live, there is hope for everything.
……
Soon, the frame stopped in front of Cao's house.
Zhao Xie looked up at the increasingly spacious mansion, and was amazed. Cao Xiu's ability is extremely outstanding, and he is also good at business, which is comparable to that Fan Li Guan Zhong. With this ability to help people, why worry about big things?
Over the years, he has had many correspondence with Cao Xiu. At the same time, Zhao Xie was also secretly contacting the nobles of various countries. There were also people who suspected that Cao Xiu was a Qin official, but Zhao Xie couldn't even speak. In his words, he just doubted himself, and he would never suspect that Cao Xiu was an undercover spy!
The coachman walked forward and knocked on the door.
Qin Jia and Zhao Xie were waiting outside the door.
A moment later, a servant opened the door.
"Foot?"
"The trouble is all over Cao Jun, and there are old friends from the East China Sea who come to visit."
"Wait a minute."
"Hmm."
It didn't take long for the door to open wide.
Cao Xiu walked out quickly and raised his hand.
"Zhao Jun!"
"Xiu'er!"
Zhao Xie was already red-eyed and raised his hand to return the salute.
It's been three years!
They are finally seeing each other again!
Then, Cao Xiu turned his head to look at Qin Jia next to him.
"This one, I think it's Qin Jun from Donghai County?"
"Haha, I didn't expect Xiu'er to recognize the old man."
Nonsense!
There are only three of them, who are you not Qin Jia?
Of course, Cao Xiu was just thinking about it. He and Qin Jia had never met before, and they had only exchanged letters before. The reason why I met all relied on Cao Shen to match.
Sometimes Qin Jia sent people to transport Haiyan to Pei County, and his subordinates would also go to Cao's house to bring a message. To say that the friendship is not very deep, it's just that Qin Jia wants to win over Cao Xiu and others.
"Please come in first, and I'll talk about it later."
Cao Xiu smiled and walked forward.
He was actually a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Xie to be with Qin Jia, and they also came to Pei County at the same time. His relationship with Zhao Xie is okay, but he just regards Zhao Xie as a chess piece.
Now, Zhao Xie is not simple. Since Dai Wangjia was captured and the three clans were moved to Xianyang, people in Xindu County, Julu County have been mixed up. In a letter last year, he also said that he had been elected as the patriarch of the Zhao family, and there were hundreds of people under his command alone.
Such a force naturally has to be co-opted.
When the uprising is held in the future, it will be a great help.
Passing through the front yard, they came to the front yard.
Cao Xiu chose a study rather than a hall. After all, the wall has ears, and if he and these two thieves are heard, they may have to run for their lives. The foundation he worked so hard to lay in Pei County cannot be destroyed by negligence!
There are many bamboo slips in the study, and in addition to the Qin law, there are many pre-Qin classics. Sometimes Cao Xiu will also dictate and ask Cao'er to write it down for him.
"Stand down."
"No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
"Yui!"
Cao'er respectfully put down the wine and said goodbye.
"Haha, Xiu'er's wine is a must." Zhao Xie picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass for Cao Xiu personally, and said with emotion: "The old man has been thinking about it for three years in Julu County!" ”
"If Zhao Jun said it earlier, Xiu will send it to you."
"The old man will take some back later."
"No problem!"
Cao Xiu agreed without even thinking about it.
What is this small profit?
The three of them each raised their hands and drank it all.
After drinking, Cao Xiu got down to business.
"Qin Jun, I don't know how much sea salt is here this time?"
"Three thousand stones!"
"So much?"
Cao Xiu was suddenly shocked.
That's three times as much!
"Just rest assured." Qin Jia smiled faintly, "It will be sent one after another later, and there will be no incident." Donghai County has not been peaceful for more than half a month, and it is difficult to say the follow-up after sending this trip. ”
"How?"
Cao Xiu suddenly became interested.
"It's not the tyrant!" Qin Jia was extremely annoyed when he mentioned this, "That tyrant was so happy, he was supposed to stay on the Langya platform for three months, but he was assassinated on the dragon boat and returned to Xianyang ahead of schedule. Could this person be arranged by Xiu'er? ”
"Huh?!"
Cao Xiuren is stupid.
This is really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from heaven. If Qin Jia hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known about it at all. Besides, he doesn't trade at a loss. Now don't talk about assassinating Qin Shi Huang, it's very difficult to get close to him, if the plan is revealed and he is caught by Shunteng, isn't it all over?
Even if the assassination is successful, what good will it do him?
He wasn't ready for a lot of things right now.
If the world is really in chaos, it won't do him any good.
Moreover, he remembered that the history books did not record the assassination of Qin Shi Huang at all, and only said that he stayed in Langyatai for three months, during which he also asked Xu Shi to go to sea to find immortals.
Could it be ...... Is it all because of him?
As a traverser, what he has done over the years has more or less changed the trajectory of many people's lives. The more people he touched, the more he changed. Could it be that a nobleman of the Six Kingdoms couldn't think of it and ran to assassinate Qin Shi Huang?
"It's really not Cao Jun's doing?"
"How could it be ......"
Zhao Xie also nodded.
"Xiu'er is not a brave person."
"Then it's a little weird." Qin Jia frowned and said, "I heard that because of the assassination, all the dragon boats built in Xu City were destroyed because of this. There are also rumors that the assassination is also related to Naxu City, and he was even arrested and interrogated. ”
"Holy?!"
"Huh?"
Cao Xiu waved his hand again and again, his face full of disbelief.
This is really weird!
Shouldn't Xushi go to sea?
How did you get detained?
Could it be that he was implicated in the assassination?
That's right, that's the explanation!
"The tyrant set off to return to Xianyang, leaving Li Si and the others to investigate the matter thoroughly, originally it was only in Langya County, who would have expected that he would come to Donghai County a few days ago. It is said that the assassins fled to Tokai County, and the Tobu Prefecture Order has been abandoned because of harboring the Assassins. ”
"So, you brought the sea salt in advance?"
"Exactly!"
Qin Jia nodded helplessly.
"Or, Qin Jun has come to hide from me these days?"
"Don't worry." Qin Jia waved his hand, "The old man has been operating in Ling County for many years, and he can be regarded as having some connections. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the old man, so he can't worry. Speaking of which, does Xiu'er know why the old man wants to go to Pei County this time? ”
