Chapter 124: The Sword Goes to the Temple

"When the Chu envoy enters the palace, he must be strictly vigilant and beware of all accidents!"

"Yui!"

The voices of the Zhonglang are uniform and sonorous.

Meng Tian, who was wearing a crown of cranes, wearing armor, and two whiskers on his chin, glanced at the rows of subordinates in front of him.

He nodded in satisfaction, until he saw the young man who was shorter than the people around him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then he relaxed.

He has no prejudice against Zhao Tuo.

It's just that the teenager who is sixteen years old, in a group of adult men who are eighteen or nineteen years old, or even in their twenties, is indeed a little shorter, and it seems that it is slightly incompatible with the overall team.

However, the king likes Zhao Tuo, and he also recruited him into the Zhonglang team.

As a loyal and virtuous Meng Tian for generations, he will naturally not be disgusted, let alone find fault with difficulties.

He remembered the order of the Great King, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Zhonglang rode the king away, where is it!"

"The Servants are here."

Wang Li, who had a delicate face and was full of muscles, replied loudly and stood up.

Meng Tian said again: "Under the command of Zhonglang Hu, where is Zhao Tuo!"

"The Servants are here."

Zhao Tuo also came out.

Meng Tian looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "The envoy of Chu entered the palace, in case of accidents, you two should guard the palace."

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo and Wang Li glanced at each other and promised each other.

Those Zhonglang were all staring at Zhao Tuo, and the surprise on their faces couldn't be hidden.

Yang Xiong and Zhao Ben whispered, "The last time the Yan envoy entered the hall, it was the Zhonglang cavalry general and the Zhonglang chariot general who jointly escorted it. This time, Ah Tuo actually put the Zhonglang car general down, and it seems that Ah Tuo is deeply liked by Meng Zhonglang."

"Yes, it's a great honor to be able to enter the temple to guard."

Li You listened to the discussion of his subordinates, and there was a sour feeling in his heart.

He knew very well that Zhao Tuo's entry into the palace to protect him was definitely not something that Meng Tian could decide alone, and I was afraid that behind this was the meaning of the king.

"The king actually let this boy enter the palace to guard, could it be that after that incident, the king's favor in him has not diminished at all?"

When Zhao Tuo walked towards the main hall with his whole body draped and a sword at his waist on his waist, he was still a little surprised.

Their task today was to guard the emperor of Qin Wangzheng from assassination.

According to the original system of the Qin State, weapons were not allowed in the palace, and the guards could only stand outside the hall, and if they wanted to enter the palace, they had to wait for the king's edict.

Just like in the original history, Qin Wangzheng was chased and killed by Jing Ke all the way around the pillar, but none of Lang Wei entered the palace to protect him, and Qin Wangzheng had to hack Jing Ke to death by himself.

Now because of the assassin incident, the whole Qin State has cast a shadow on the envoy's picture, so this time the Chu envoy came to the audience, and Qin Wangzheng directly named Wang Li and Zhao Tuo to escort them and stand under the emperor's couch.

The sword is on the temple, this is a supreme honor.

"Thank you, Wang."

Zhao Tuo bowed his hand towards Wang Li.

On the way, the Zhonglang rider told Zhao Tuo the main points of this matter, such as the position when entering the temple, and what actions should be done when to do it.

Although it is not an important matter, it undoubtedly shows Wang Li's attitude.

"No thanks, the old general often praises you in front of me. I really didn't expect that you would be able to make such a big name in Yandi at the beginning."

….

Wang Li smiled slightly, he called Wang Jian and only said "old general", which shows that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is very good.

Zhao Tuo also responded with a smile.

Even if you don't talk about the last time Qin Wangzheng ordered Wang Li to summon Zhao Tuo into the palace.

It's just a relationship.

Zhao Tuo is Wang Li's grandfather's old subordinate.

Wang Li is the grandson of the old leader Zhao Tuo.

Isn't this a natural alliance?

For Zhao Tuo, the entire Qin State, except for Qin Wangzheng's thickest thigh.

Wang Jian family and Li

Faith is his most trusted ally.

Far more worthy of Zhao Tuo's unity than Li Si and Wei Yi.

"This son is very good, courteous and courteous, and he has fought on the battlefield. If I become a general in the future, Zhao Tuo can be a good subordinate."

This is Wang Li's thoughts on Zhao Tuo.

Wang Li's grandfather and father are both generals of the Qin State, and if nothing else, he will also become the chief general of the Qin army in the future. As the main general, his subordinates must have capable subordinates. And Zhao Tuo is a candidate that Wang Li likes.

For his future subordinates, Wang Li naturally takes care of him.

The two of them quickly walked into the palace and stood under the emperor's couch, holding their heads high, showing their heroic posture.

At this time, the ministers and ministers of the Qin State also entered the palace in turn, and they were arranged in order of status.

Zhao Tuo could feel a lot of eyes falling on him, but he had a special task today, and he didn't make eye contact with those ministers he knew, he didn't squint, and looked at the palace door with his head held high.

After the ministers arrived, Qin Wangzheng quickly entered the palace and went to the bed, his eyes swept the two young men in front of him, and he bowed slightly.

The two of them were dressed in armor and swords, enough to deal with all dangers.

"Xuan, the envoys of the State of Chu go to the palace."

With Qin Wangzheng spoke.

The messenger in charge of the message also shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the bell rang loudly in Xianyang Palace, representing the official start of the audience ceremony.

The cheerful sound of "Deer Song" sounded in his ears, and a flash flashed in Zhao Tuo's eyes, but it immediately turned into a firmness.

Compared with the nine-bin gift used by Qin Wangzheng when he met Jing Ke last year, the etiquette used to meet the envoys of Chu this time was a little lower, and it was not Zuo Prime Minister Kui who was sent out to greet him, but Li Si.

Although Li Si is a favorite minister of the King of Qin, his official position is not long, and letting him come to greet the envoy of Chu is to show the high status of the Qin State now.

"Chu envoy meets ......"

Zhao Tuo saw that as the voice of the master of ceremonies sounded, the chief and deputy envoys of the Chu State held the map, walked into the main hall, and walked forward quickly in a burst of "trend" sound.

"This person ......"

Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly.

The two envoys of the Chu State, walking in front of him was an old man wearing a high crown and a gray beard. He was short in stature and had a flattering smile on his face, which should be Songyang Jun Jingzhao, the envoy of the State of Chu.

The man walking behind Jing Zhao was the one who really caught Zhao Tuo's attention.

Very tall, very strong, even a little taller than Wang Li on the side.

In particular, its eyes were piercing, and its burly body held up its clothes, as if a giant was walking forward.

Not only Zhao Tuo, but even Wang Li on the side was nervous, and the two of them stared at the strong Chu man, ready to draw their swords at any time as long as the other party moved.

….

The man also seemed to feel something, his eyes swept around Wang Li and Zhao Tuo, especially when he saw Zhao Tuo's young face, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

In this way, half of the eldest son can also be the king's guard, and it seems that the Qin State also relies on relationships to ascend to the throne.

"Foreign Minister Jing Zhao, meet the king."

"Foreign minister Xiang Qu, meet the king."

Zhao Tuo raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the surname "Xiang", he couldn't help but think of a famous person.

Not him.

Zhao Tuo's body relaxed again, if he remembers well, that guy is still a little kid who is less than ten years old.

"When Wang Jian fights Chu, if there is a chance, you can kill that guy in advance."

Zhao Tuo muttered to himself in his heart.

At this time, the two envoys of the Chu State had already finished their salutes and sat down behind them.

"Why did the Chu envoy come?"

Qin Wangzheng asked knowingly.

Jing Zhao hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Your lord, my king wants to reconcile with the Qin State and regain the old alliance between Qin and Chu. Today, I would like to offer the land west of Qingyang to the Qin State to show my sincerity, and I also ask the king to accept it with a smile."

Qin Wangzheng smiled coldly, he naturally knew what the idea of the King of Chu was fighting, it was nothing more than hope

Seeking peace with the land in exchange for time to integrate the interior of the Chu State, and at the same time allowing the Qin State to find no excuse to attack the Chu State.

For Qin Wangzheng, the state of Chu will definitely be destroyed.

But the land offered by the other party, he would not be stupid enough to refuse.

"In that case, Zhao Tuo, take the map."

King Qin opened his mouth vigorously, the deputy envoy of the Chu State was so strong, he naturally would not let the other party come forward to offer a picture.

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo promised and strode towards Jing Zhao.

"The map is here, and the king is invited to inspect it."

Jing Zhao smiled, holding the map in both hands and presenting it to Zhao Tuo, his words were extremely respectful.

Zhao Tuo nodded, and was about to reach out to take the map, but found that his other big hand had grasped the map in his hand.

Xiang Qu.

Dongjun who took off
