Contrary to Zhao Tuo's expectations.

At the militaristic deliberations after the celebration banquet, although Qin Wangzheng and all the generals and ministers unanimously finalized the direction of Qin's attack next.

But Qin Wangzheng did not make a decision on the spot to decide on the commander of the next battle.

"The king should be because of General Li's fiasco, which left a psychological shadow. Therefore, he did not dare to set the coach easily, and this matter should be discussed later. ”

Zhao Tuo secretly slandered himself.

At the end of the celebration banquet, Qin Wangzheng raised his bow to everyone.

"For Da Qinhe!"

"Congratulations to the king!"

Zhao Tuo followed the generals to raise the wine and toast to the king.

This celebration banquet specially held for the meritorious heroes of the Qin State came to an end.

After sending Qin Wangzheng away, the generals got up one after another and said goodbye to each other to leave.

Zhao Tuo went to Li Xin for the first time.

But Li Xin had already strode out of the side hall as soon as the king left.

Zhao Tuo looked at the other party's back hidden in the night, and could only sigh lightly, he knew that Li Xin was deliberately hiding from himself.

At this time, someone was calling Zhao Tuo's name.

"Zhao Tuo boy, the old man is drunk, come and help."

After chatting with Wei Yu on the other side, Wang Qian, the Marquis of Wucheng, opened his mouth to greet him.

Qiang, who was sitting not far from Wang Qian, shouted, "Prince, I'll help you." ”

Wang Jian rolled his eyes and said, "Your hands are neither light nor heavy, if you come to help the old man, I'm afraid that if you don't have bones, you will be crushed." ”

After blocking the Qiang stump back with one sentence, Wang Jian said to Wang Ben, who wanted to come over on the other side: "The old man only wants Zhao Tuo alone tonight." ”

Wang Ben thought for a moment and retreated with a smile.

At this time, Wang Jian stared at Zhao Tuo sideways and said, "Why, after leaving the army, the old man still can't call you." ”

"What did the prince say, it's just that I saw General Qiang open his mouth just now, and it's not good for the kid to come forward."

Zhao Tuo smiled, walked over in Qiang's resentful eyes, and stretched out his hand to support Wang Qian.

He understood a little in his heart, Wang Jian not only refused Qiang, but also didn't even want his own son Wang Ben, and only let Zhao Tuo support him alone, I am afraid that he has something to say privately.

"Wei Gong, since this is the case, the old man will go back, you will come to Pinyang to find the old man to drink again in the future."

Wang Jian smiled and said goodbye to Wei Yi.

"The prince is invited, and he will definitely visit in the future."

Wei Yi also smiled and arched his hand, said hello to Zhao Tuo next to him, and strode away.

The remaining generals said goodbye to Wang Jian one after another and left, leaving only Wang Jian and Zhao Tuo in the end.

"The prince and the prince specially ordered the boy to help each other, should he have something to say, right?"

Zhao Tuo asked in a low voice.

"Count you brat smart."

Wang Jian laughed: "You performed well tonight, when the king asked whether to fight Dai Guo or Qi Guo first, your answer was very decisive and there was no hesitation." ”

Zhao Tuo blinked.

He didn't think much about it just now, thinking that Qin Wangzheng was the first to ask him to express his love and appreciation for himself.

Now that I hear Wang Jian say this, it turns out that he has another deep meaning.

Zhao Tuo frowned and thought about it, he was not a stupid person, and he quickly guessed a clue.

"The King...... Because I'm from the Zhao clan, you're testing me? ”

"Yes, yes."

Wang Jian nodded and said, "Because of Xiong Qi's matter, the king has become suspicious of the six royal families in the Qin State. You Zhao Tuo is very capable, and you are also loved by the king. But your background is the Zhao family after all. ”

"Even if you say that you don't have any thoughts about Zhao Guo, but with Xiong Qi in front of you, the king will inevitably be estranged from you, so I didn't ask Bang Wei and me just now, and asked you Zhao Tuo first, which is a temptation and test for you."

"Qi and the Dynasty, which is more difficult and which is easier, everyone knows that with your Zhao Tuo's ability, you know which country is best for me to attack first. So all you have to do is hesitate in your answer, or if you say something offensive in your mouth. Hehe, I'm afraid that your kid's evaluation in the king's heart will drop greatly, and even give birth to dislike. ”

Hearing Wang Qian's words, Zhao Tuo swallowed his saliva.

Under the seemingly favored question of the king just now, there was a danger hidden.

"Xiong Qi dog thief, almost killed me."

Zhao Tuo scolded in his heart.

As Wang Jian said, Qin Wangzheng's life came from betrayal, and he who had just experienced Xiong Qi's betrayal was suspicious of himself, a descendant of the Zhao family, which was a normal thing.

What if Zhao Tuo is also like Xiong Qi, he is an anti-bone boy who cares about the bloodline society?

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if.

Fortunately, his Zhao Tuo's thinking is different from that of people of this era, and he doesn't care about the Zongmiao Sheji, the bloodline inheritance, etc., which is valued by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, plus he knows this history, so he can not hesitate to answer just now, which resolves a crisis.

Wang Jian glanced around, saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered: "In the matter of destroying the dynasty, you Zhao Tuo must not take the initiative to ask for help." ”

Zhao Tuo nodded, indicating that he understood.

At the beginning, Xiong Qi took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Huaiyang when he was in Chu. If Zhao Tuo also took the initiative to ask for the order to be the main general when he destroyed the dynasty this time, I am afraid that it would make the king more and more reminiscent of Xiong Qi.

"I'd better wait for the time to destroy Qi before asking for war, this generation of the country is a hot potato for my identity."

Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking in his heart, Wang Jian said again: "But if the king asks you if you are willing to lead the army to destroy the dynasty, you must agree immediately, and you must not hesitate." ”

Zhao Tuo frowned slightly.

Wang Jian explained: "The king let you destroy the generation, that is, he already has trust in you, and he is not afraid that you will revert to Xiong Qi." The battle of destroying the dynasty, for others, is just to obtain military merits, but for you Zhao Tuo, completely destroying the Zhao family is to show your loyalty to the Qin State to the king. ”

"Just like when the county guard Teng raised Nanyang to offer Qin, the king asked him to lead the army to destroy Han as the main general, which was a test for him. People from the clans of the Six Kingdoms can only be of great use to the king if they destroy the old country with their own hands! ”

Zhao Tuo completely understood.

The king did not speak, he could not take the initiative to ask for his life, that would appear that he was too zealous, and it would inevitably give rise to suspicion.

But if the king let him Zhao Tuo destroy the generation, he must firmly and decisively agree, if he hesitates a little, I am afraid that the king will feel whether he "misses the Zhao family".

Between questions and answers, it's a test.

"No wonder there is a saying in later generations, a companion is like a tiger."

"The king has a lot of eyes. He smiled at me on his face, but in fact, he had a hidden murder intention. It seems that in the future, you should be more cautious when speaking in front of him. ”

Zhao Tuo secretly alerted himself, and at the same time looked at Wang Jian in front of him with admiration.

is worthy of being a veteran who has made great achievements in the world and can enjoy his old age in peace.

Just what he said just now, he knew that Wang Jian had understood Qin Wangzheng's thoughts.

Although Zhao Tuo is quite capable of military struggle, he has never been mixed in officialdom in his previous life or in this life, and his political consciousness is much lower.

If it weren't for Wang Qian's order, hehe, maybe he wouldn't have reacted at that time, and he would have been caught off guard and disappointed and suspicious of the king, and it would have been a big loss.

"Thank you, Prince. The grace of the prince's guidance must be remembered by the boy. ”

Zhao Tuo wanted to give a gift and thank you.

"Don't be like that, if people see it, they won't be able to guess a thing or two. If only you knew about it. ”

Wang Jian grabbed Zhao Tuo's arm with one hand, didn't let him salute, still pretended to chat, and slowly walked outside the palace.

"I also see that you Zhao Tuo has a heart for Qin, and he will never do anything about Xiong Qi because of the country. That's why I said these things to you, just because I was afraid that you would be careless for a while and miss the king's heart. ”

"Zhao Tuo, the old man is very optimistic about you."

Walking outside the palace gate, Wang Jian smiled and patted Zhao Tuo's shoulder.

Wang Ben was already waiting outside the door, ready to drive.

"That's it, if I have time in the future, I will come to Pinyang to find the old man to drink."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly saluted: "I must visit the prince, and ask the prince to go slowly." ”

Wang Jian smiled and glanced at the young general in front of him who saluted him, and his eyes were a little dazed.

Decades ago, he used to be such a teenager.

Time flies, and the boy is old.

"The future of the Qin State is up to you descendants."

Wang Jian muttered in his heart, turned around and stepped into the carriage with Wang Ben's support.

Wang Ben smiled at Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo was also busy giving gifts.

Seeing the carriage in which the Wang father and son were riding disappeared into the night in the distance.

Zhao Tuo stood in front of the Qin Palace and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After a long time, he looked back at the Qin Palace.

Zhao Tuo's eyes looked at the towering palace wall, as if he could see the high king inside through the wall.

"Your heart is unpredictable."

Zhao Tuo shook his head, his gaze moved slightly, and he looked in the other direction in the Qin Palace.

There was a slight softness in his eyes.

"The king asked me before that I wanted to be a princess, and although I didn't promise, I already revealed my meaning."

"Now that the state of Chu has been destroyed, I also captured Xiong Qi for him. I wonder if this time will give me a date? ”
