Just as the peasant disciples who were proficient in agricultural affairs were sent to the Qin State, Ying Zheng also received a reply from Meng Wu and Wang Qian, both of whom agreed that Li Xin was the most suitable person to attack the Yan State.

The two of them supported Li Xin's attack on Yan not because of an exchange of interests, but because Li Xin's military situation was suitable for attacking a resilient country like Yan. Wang Qian's specialty is to harden the village and fight in a stupid battle, and the Yan army is just insufficient to attack, more than enough defense, and the favorite is that the turtle can't be retreated, if Wang Jian wins against them, he is willing to win, but there is too much time wasted, and the Qin State is far away from the Zhao State to attack the Yan State, and the logistics supply is far away, and the cost is an astronomical amount.

As for Meng Wu, there is no one more suitable for threatening and balancing Zhao Guo except him, and Meng Wu is also well aware of this, so he also recommends Li Xin to attack Yan State, because Li Xin's army situation is the fastest, most direct and most effective way to defeat Yan State.

Seeing that both Wang Jian and Meng Wu recommended Li Xin as the commander of the Yan War, Ying Zheng no longer hesitated, and immediately issued an order, and at the same time issued an edict to officially declare war on Zhao Yan. And after Qin sent attendants to declare war on the two countries before, Zhao Yan sent all the envoys Qin without the slightest exception to ask for forgiveness from Qin State, but Ying Zheng did not go to see the envoy of Yan State at all, and directly let people spread the word that Yan State was ready to face Qin's soldiers.

And Lü Buwei met with the envoy of Zhao State, and at the same time told the attitude of Qin State, the envoy of Zhao State, if you want Qin State to let Zhao State go, there are three conditions, one is to use Qin State to let Qin State send troops to attack Yan. Second, it gave Qin a large amount of money and property losses. Third, it must be handed over to Zhao Yan, the chief envoy of the borrowing Dao Yan State.

When the envoy of Zhao State heard Lü Buwei's conditions, he was dumbfounded on the spot, not that he felt that the lion of Qin State opened his mouth, but that he felt that Qin State's asking price was too low, and before coming, Guo Kai and Zhao Wangqian specially explained to him that Qin State would cede cities as long as there were no more than five cities, and they could directly agree.

After repeatedly determining that Qin's requirements were the only ones, the envoy of Zhao immediately signed an alliance with Qin and agreed to borrow the way. After signing the covenant, he left and returned to Zhao State, and after telling Zhao Wangqian of this Qin State's request, Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai were dumbfounded.

"Prime Minister, Qin Guo's requirements are so low, is there fraud in it?" Zhao Wangqian looked at the covenant and asked with some concern.

Guo Kai was also a little uncertain for a while, he didn't expect Qin Guo to ask so low, and said

"Please ask the king to discuss this matter later, and the minister needs to confirm it."

Zhao Wangqian also knew that Guo Kai was going to find his contact with Lu Buwei, so he immediately responded. After Guo Kai left the Zhao Palace, he went directly to find the Soul Candle, he needed to confirm with the Soul Candle why the Qin State asked for such a low price this time, and they hadn't sent someone to bribe Lu Buwei with their belongings. After finding the soul candle, Guo Kai explained his intention.

"When I sent someone to see Wen Xinhou, I specially asked someone to bring a number of jewelry, as well as dozens of unique books of 100 classics, you also know that Wen Xinhou usually likes these 100 classics the most, especially the classics left by the original corpse, so Wen Xinhou agreed to help Guo Xiang." Soul Candle said.

Lü Buwei is a member of the miscellaneous family, and the reason why the miscellaneous family is called the miscellaneous family is because they are more or less involved in the hundred schools of thought, but these are just a little superficial surface of learning, and the classics of the hundred schools are not so easy to learn.

Guo Kai also knew the importance of the corpse's classics to the miscellaneous family, even if it wasn't for Lu Buwei, just saying that the classics left by the corpse were already priceless, thinking that the soul candle had paid so much for his own affairs, Guo Kai was also moved, and immediately said

"Brother Soul is so concerned about the affairs of my Zhao Kingdom, and has paid such a big price, I can't repay it and accept a gift." After Guo Kai bowed, he immediately said, "Brother Soul regards me as a friend of life and death, then Guo Kai will definitely not let Brother Soul bear the price, after all, this is what I have paid for my Zhao Kingdom, and I ask Brother Soul to wait for a while, I will go to tell the king to ask for merit for my brother." ”

"Guo Xiang, you and I are good friends, what are you talking about, I'm just a businessman, and I don't have to ask for credit for me in front of the king. This credit belongs to Guo Xiang, you asked me to find Wen Xinhou, have you forgotten? Guo's top priority was not to discuss merit, but to send someone to send someone to send the treasure that should have been given to Wen Xinhou. Soul Candle said with a smile.

"Since Brother Soul doesn't want to take this credit, then Guo Kai will definitely not let Brother Soul spend so much, so I'll send someone to send the cost of this visit to Marquis Wenxin to the mansion. As for the jewels dedicated to the Marquis of Wenxin, naturally there will be no less, and when I report to the king, I will personally go to the treasury to select the treasures and give them to the Marquis of Wenxin. Guo Kaiqing said sincerely, he really didn't expect the soul candle to give him this credit.

Guo Kai didn't wait for the soul candle to stay, so he left directly and went back to the palace of King Zhao, looking at Guo Kai's back, the soul candle showed a sarcastic smile on his face

"When the Zhao State is destroyed, I hope you can still be so grateful to me, tell Lord Zhao that the task is completed, as long as Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai enter the treasure house of the Zhao State, it will be Li Mu's death."

After returning to the palace of King Zhao, Guo Kai immediately explained to Zhao Wangqian the reason why the price of the Qin State was so low, and at the same time exchanged the price paid by the soul candle for himself. After hearing that Guo Kai exchanged such a price for the safety of Zhao State, Zhao Wangqian was also moved, and immediately boasted to Guo Kai, and promised to announce Guo Kai's merits in public in the morning tomorrow, and announce the entire Zhao State.

Guo Kai was not polite, and when Zhao Wangqian was proud, he said that he promised to give Lu Buwei the treasure.

"This Lu Buwei is really insatiable, he has received so many benefits from the prime minister, and he even wants it." Zhao Wangqian frowned and said dissatisfied.

Seeing that Zhao Wangqian didn't want to give, Guo Kai immediately persuaded him

"King, after all, Lu Buwei is a businessman, and businessmen are profit-oriented, so they are naturally insatiable. Now the initiative is still in the hands of Qin State, we still have to give these things, and this time it can be regarded as a hookup with Lü Buwei, if there is any situation in Qin State today, we can inquire from Lü Buwei. ”

"That's it, the widow is lacking, let's do this thing, this is the key to the treasure house, let's go." Zhao Wangqian handed over the key to the treasure house to Guo Kai and said, although he was unwilling in his heart, but thinking that now that the Qin State was powerful, they still needed Lu Buwei, Zhao Wangqian swallowed this breath.

"The minister retired."

Guo Kai happily went to the Zhao royal treasury with the key to the Zhao royal treasury, after the inspection of the guards, Guo Kai came to a bronze gate, put the tiger-shaped key in his hand into the groove of the gate, a sound of the gear turning, with a shaking, the bronze door gradually opened, a smell of sandalwood sounded, Guo Kai couldn't help but inhale twice, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

With the opening of the bronze gate, Guo Kai stepped into the treasury of the Zhao royal family, looking at the various treasures in the treasury, Guo Kai's eyes couldn't help but widen, this was the first time he entered the treasury of the Zhao royal family. When Zhao Wangyan was alive, although he was also a favored minister, he never entered the treasure house of Zhao Wangyan, and when Zhao Wangyan was alive, Zhao Wangyan never allowed him to enter the treasure house.

Looking at the various rare treasures placed on the shelves made of sandalwood, Guo Kai was dazzled, and the things in the treasury of the Zhao royal family were all priceless treasures without exception, such as swords, armor, rare jewels, fur and bones of rare beasts, and so on.

Guo Kai walked in the rows of shelves and gradually looked dazzled, and unconsciously Guo Kai came to the center of the treasure house, and a solemn seat was on the high platform that was built, and there were two small tables in front of the seats, and two closed boxes were placed on the table.

Guo Kai cautiously walked up to the high platform and looked at the seat and the two closed boxes, his eyes were full of solemnity, this chair is said to be the chair of the Son of Heaven of Zhou Tianzi, because of the coincidence in the period of King Zhao Wuling, it was won by King Zhao Wuling, and since then it has been placed in the highest place of the treasure house, and left a word, if Zhao State dominates the world in the future, this chair will be invited out of the treasure house, and it will be the chair of the new Son of Heaven.

As for the two boxes on the table, Guo Kai's eyes were completely on one of the boxes made of gold, and Guo Kai was very familiar with this box, which was the storage box of Zhao Guozhibao and Shibi.

Once Zhao Wangqian opened the box in front of him more than once and took out He's Bi from it, Guo Kai looked at the golden box and swallowed his saliva, his eyes were full of expectation, and the name of He's Bi is known all over the world. Everyone knows the world who has heard of He's Bi, but very few people have seen it, and even fewer people have touched this piece of jade with their own hands. And Guo Kai has only seen it, but he has never touched it.

Thinking that there is only one person here, if you open it and take a closer look, it will not be in vain to come to the treasure house this time. Thinking of this, Guo Kai looked around carefully, and then opened the golden box tremblingly, and the moment the golden box was opened, Guo Kai's eyes gradually changed from expectation to horror.

Looking at the empty box, Guo Kai suddenly sat down on the ground, his left hand tremblingly pointed at the empty box, his eyes were full of horror, and a terrible thought appeared in Guo Kai's mind, and the family was stolen!

Thinking of this, Guo Kai immediately got up and walked towards the outside of the treasure house, Guo Kai, as the prime minister of Zhao State, heard Zhao Wangyan say more than once that He's Bi is very important to Zhao, and if He's Bi is lost, the destruction of Zhao is coming.

Guo Kai, who was staggering, walked towards the outside of the treasure house, and after walking out of the treasure house, the guards looked at Guo Kai's panicked appearance and hurriedly stepped forward to support Guo Kai.

"Prime Minister, what's wrong with you?" The guard asked.

"Send me to wait a minute, give me the books in and out of the treasure house!" Guo Kai thought of something and said to the guards beside him.

The entry and exit of the treasure house of the Zhao royal family are recorded by a special person, and every time someone enters and leaves and takes something away, this is all recorded by a special person, just to worry that there will be a problem. The guard looked at Guo Kai's nervous appearance, and immediately guessed what might be happening in the treasure house, so he trotted all the way to the storage place of the booklet and took all the recent books.

After getting the booklet, Guo Kai immediately opened it and began to look through the records, and soon he found the last record about He's Bi, it was Zhao Wangyan who took He's Bi out, and there was no news of He's Bi for ten years.

"This, this." Guo Kai's hand trembled a little when he looked at this record, but as he turned the page, he recorded that Li Mu and the emperor would arrive together on the next page.

When Guo Kai saw this line, he immediately closed the record and said to the guards beside him

"Take this record and present it to the king, you take care of the treasure house, and you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today!"

"No!" Naturally, these people are not fools to be sent to guard the treasure house, hearing Guo Kai say this, of course they understand that there is definitely a record of major events in this booklet, no matter what it is, it is not something that they guards can participate in, and they may be able to save their lives honestly according to Guo Kai's words.

After Guo Kai left the treasure house, he immediately went to Zhao Wangqian's bedroom, and after seeing Zhao Wangqian, Guo Kai told Zhao Wangqian about his discovery. Zhao Wangqian's eyes also widened, and he couldn't believe what Guo Kai said.

"What did you say!? He's lost!? Zhao Wangqian angrily Guo Kai said, the importance of He's Bi told him personally before Zhao Wangyan died, and He's Bi embodies the luck of Zhao, and it is precisely because of He's Bi that condenses Zhao's luck, so Zhao can recover its national strength as quickly as possible every time it experiences a crisis, and it is also why Zhao still has the strength to fight with Qin after experiencing many crises and even the risk of annihilation.

"He's Bi is indeed not in the treasure house, as for He's Bi's whereabouts, the minister doesn't dare to say." Guo Kai arched his hand and said.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Wangqian looked at Guo Kai and asked.

Guo Kai took out the document from his arms and raised his hands and said

"This is what the minister took out in the treasure house, which records the last time He Shibi was brought out, but the minister didn't dare to say more, and asked the king to watch it himself."

The chamberlain on the side wanted to help Zhao Wangqian get the booklet, but Zhao Wangqian refused, so he immediately took the book with his own hands and found the last news about He's Bi according to Guo Kai's instructions. As Zhao Wangqian's face turned gloomy, it became gloomy.

"Except for the prime minister, everyone step down!" Zhao Wangqian said.

After everyone left, only Zhao Wangqian and Guo Kai were left in the hall.

"What does the prime minister mean that this and the clan are in Li Mu's hands?" Zhao Wangqian asked.

"The minister doesn't know, the first king will take Li Mu to get the Heshi Bi, presumably Li Mu knows a little." Guo Kai said.

"You go down first, the widow will ask Li Mu about this matter later." Zhao Wangqian's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, for Li Mu and Zhao Tong, Zhao Wangqian did not have the slightest good impression, if it weren't for his father Zhao Wangyan who left a call not to touch Li Mu before he died, otherwise Li Mu and Zhao Tong's support for Gongzijia alone would be enough to be liquidated when Zhao Wangqian ascended the throne.

"Maybe this is an opportunity, even if you can't kill Li Mu, but Zhao Tong must die!" Zhao Wangqian's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and said.
