o In the palace of the king of Heng.

Zhao Heng caught the envoy of Qin and read the messenger's letter, and Zhao Heng was angry. directly beat the envoy half to death, and said to the envoy fiercely: "Say, what did King Qin let you do?" ”

The messenger looked bitter!

He didn't know why he was so heavily handed by Zhao Heng? Endured the pain, and said in a slur manner: "King Qin asked me to send a letter, naturally it is peace, King Qin means that he will not kill Zhao Han, the prince of Zhao State, and will not attack Zhao State, so that Zhao State can rest assured." ”

Zhao Heng frowned after hearing this, and he glared at the envoy angrily, full of doubts in his heart.

He didn't fully believe the envoy's words, after all, King Qin's intentions were difficult to guess.

However, Zhao's current situation is indeed dangerous, and he needs to fight for all possible time and resources to deal with it.

Zhao Heng glared at the envoy angrily, what he hoped for was Zhao Han's death, if the deceased passed such news to King Zhao, it would be half cold for Zhao Heng, who had always coveted the position of the prince,

The previous spring ceremony, the humiliations he suffered, Zhao Heng still remembered in his heart.

How could he let Zhao Han go?

He looked at the messenger for a long time, and then suddenly he had an idea.

"Since you are falsely spreading the news, then I will kill you!"

Zhao Han stepped on the messenger's chest, and his anger was in full swing.

The messenger was frightened and begged for mercy: "I ...... I'm not pretending to be a message! That's what King Qin said, if you don't believe it, you can ask other messengers to send another message. ”‘

However, Zhao Heng was bent on killing the person, so he kicked the messenger fiercely, kicking him out a few meters, "You have no chance, go and die!" ”

Zhao Heng grabbed the envoy's collar, lifted him up, and roared angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to go wild in front of me, today I want you to know what will happen if you offend me Zhao Heng!" ”

He threw the messenger into the air, then drew his sword from his waist and stabbed him fiercely.

The sword struck the messenger's chest.

He screamed and died instantly!

After Zhao Heng killed the envoy, he immediately said to everyone in King Heng's Mansion: "Remember, nothing has happened in our King Heng's Mansion today, and I haven't killed anyone, if anyone dares to spread the news here, I will cut off his tongue." ”

As soon as Zhao Heng's words fell, the entire Heng Wangfu suddenly became dead.

It's as if even time has stood still at this moment!

The whole mansion, whether it was the maids, attendants, or nobles in the mansion, all seemed to have been immobilized and stiffened in place, staring straight at Zhao Heng.

Zhao Heng's gaze was like a knife, and his tone was solemn.

His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and although the waves caused were not large, they deeply touched everyone's heart.

His words were like an invisible command that silenced everyone.

However, this silence did not last long.

An old housekeeper in King Zhao's mansion couldn't help but burst into tears, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something.

Zhao Heng caught a glimpse of him, and immediately rushed over, holding the old butler's throat tightly with both hands.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Heng's tone was cold, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

The old housekeeper looked at Zhao Heng in horror, his face was pale, and his hands struggled helplessly.

Then, his eyes began to become misty, as if he had lost his life.

Zhao Heng let go of his hand, watching the old butler's body fall indifferently, he raised his hand to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, and took a deep breath.

"Now, who else wants to say anything?" Zhao Heng asked coldly.

No one answered.

Everyone's eyes avoided Zhao Heng, and they lowered their heads, as if they were praying for something.

Zhao Heng looked around again, then sneered and left the Heng Palace.

The top and bottom of the Hengwang Mansion were shrouded in strict secrecy, and whether it was the maids, attendants or the nobles in the palace, they were all silent.

They may be afraid of Zhao Heng's power, or they may be afraid of this cruel prince, in short, no one dares to leak the slightest rumor.

It didn't take long for Zhao Heng to go and return, and after seeing that everyone didn't even make a sound of discussion, he showed a slight sneer, and then he called one of his subordinates over and disguised himself as the envoy of the Qin State.

"Now you disguise yourself as the envoy of the Qin State, and immediately send this letter to King Zhao, if you neglect it, you know what the consequences will be."

The subordinate was still very afraid in his heart, and took the letter handed over by Zhao Heng with a trembling hand, and replied: "I will definitely deliver the letter to King Zhao in person, and I hope that the third prince will not worry." ”

"Prepare yourself and set off in half an hour. Remember, be quick. Zhao Heng instructed.

The subordinate replied and hurriedly retreated. Zhao Heng looked at his back and sighed deeply. He knew that this subordinate would definitely do what he was told.

……

After King Zhao got this letter, he was furious!

"Presumptuous! It's just so presumptuous! ”

"Zhao Han, you rebel, rebel!"

It turned out that the content of the letter had been changed to another way after Zhao Heng's hands, and Zhao Heng said in the letter that Zhao Han had colluded with the King of Qin and wanted to annex Zhao.

King Zhao's eyes flashed with anger, and the letter burned like a fire in his heart, making him unable to sleep. He paced the temple heavily, his face full of anger and worry.

"This rebel!" King Zhao pointed to the letter, almost unable to believe his eyes, "He dares to betray me, betray Zhao State!" ”

The letter trembled in King Zhao's hands, and the words on it seemed to mock his incompetence.

King Zhao struggled to suppress his anger, he knew that he needed to calm down and come up with a countermeasure.

"Someone!" King Zhao shouted, and the attendant entered, "Arrest Zhao Han for me immediately!" I thought he was going to Qin to save people, but I never imagined that he had already colluded with King Qin. ”

King Zhao's eyes were filled with deep worry and anger.

The attendant bowed slightly and said, "King Qin, it is not an easy thing to capture Zhao Han back. ”

This King Zhao naturally understood in his heart, he pondered for a moment, at this time he was already on the way to the Qin State, it was not easy to capture him back, Zhao Han's own strength was not weak.

If it is to send three thousand dead soldiers.

Maybe there would be a possibility to capture Zhao Han back, so King Zhao immediately ordered: "This is the token, you send it to Zhao Heng's hands as soon as possible, let him take three thousand dead soldiers, and be sure to kill Zhao Han before Zhao Han hits the Qin State." ”

The attendant turned out to be a token and said, "King Zhao, if we kill Zhao Han so rashly, will there be a fraud?" Let's not be fooled, no matter how you say it, Zhao Han is also the prince of our Zhao Kingdom. ”

King Zhao frowned slightly and said, "You mean there may be fraud in the letter?" Did someone deliberately ask me to kill Zhao Han? ”

The attendant nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, maybe someone wants to borrow your hand, get rid of Zhao Han, and then create an illusion that you are the beneficiary, so as to drive a wedge between you and Zhao Han." ”

After hearing this, King Zhao's deep eyes flashed with a light of thought, and he said in a deep voice: "This possibility is not completely non-existent. But if that's what you say, who is the person who came up with this plan? ”

The attendant said: "Whether we are masters or not, we should not make this bet on the fate of Zhao Guo. I suggest that we check the source and authenticity of the letter before deciding whether to act. ”

King Zhao nodded slowly and said, "Your suggestion is reasonable, but we also have to make other preparations." If the letter is true, then Zhao Han does have the possibility of betraying my Zhao country, and we must guard against everything about him. ”

The attendant answered and exited the hall.

King Zhao held the token in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time, but at this moment, the Queen Mother walked in.

"King Zhao, I heard what I said just now, since someone wants to put Zhao Han to death, we might as well follow his wishes and plan accordingly!" The Queen Mother said slowly.

King Zhao was puzzled and looked at the Queen Mother, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”

The Queen Mother continued: "Don't you want a capable person to get the position of prince? Since this is the case, we are going to put Zhao Han to the most brutal test, and now if someone wants to kill Zhao Han, Zhao Han should have the ability to get rid of his opponent, instead of dying at the hands of his opponent. ”

King Zhao was still confused and asked, "What should I do now?" ”

The Queen Mother replied: "You might as well hand over the token to Zhao Heng, and let Zhao Heng take three thousand dead soldiers to deal with Zhao Han, if Zhao Han really has strength, then he will not die in the hands of Zhao Heng, on the contrary, if Zhao Han has no strength, he is not worthy of being the prince of Zhao at all, King Zhao, do you say yes?" ”

After hearing this, King Zhao pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

Soon, King Zhao passed Zhao Heng to his side and personally handed over the token to Zhao Heng.

King Zhao said: "The queen mother is right, since Zhao Han is so ignorant of current affairs, then let's let him know what the real strength is." Zhao Heng, you go and prepare immediately, take three thousand dead soldiers, go all out, and be sure to eliminate Zhao Han in one fell swoop. ”

A trace of fierceness flashed in Zhao Heng's eyes, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, father, I will definitely let this traitor die on the road." ”

After speaking, Zhao Heng immediately left the hall to prepare for the next action, and the hall was quiet again, leaving only the Queen Mother and King Zhao.

"King Zhao, now that you have agreed to the suggestion of the mourning family, then the next step, we can implement the next step."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said slowly.

"Okay, Queen Mother, since this is the case, then we will work together to build Zhao into a real power."

King Zhao said gratefully.

"Hehe, this is natural, our mother and son work together, we will definitely be able to make the Zhao State rise, so that the Qin State will never dare to do anything to our Zhao Guofo again."

The Queen Mother smiled.

After Zhao Heng left, he immediately set off with three thousand dead soldiers, this time his trick succeeded, he finally found a chance to kill Zhao Han.
