The other side.

King Zhao is waiting for Zhao Heng, or Zhao Han's return, no matter who comes back, it will make him very anxious, let Zhao Heng take three thousand dead soldiers to deal with Zhao Han, now think about it carefully, King Zhao regrets it very much.

How he hoped that Zhao Han would not die in the hands of three thousand dead soldiers, it would be too cruel to test Zhao Han with this kind of life and death!

And if Zhao Han can survive, even if Zhao Han escapes and survives, King Zhao will look down on Zhao Han.

Otherwise, Zhao Han would only die on the road.

"King Zhao, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom asks to see you!" A little eunuch said.

Envoy of the Yan Kingdom?

Now the matter of the envoy of Yan State violating the border has been quelled by Zhao Heng, and now the envoy of Yan State is asking to see, what is the matter, could it be that King Yan still wants to invade the border of Zhao State again?

With questions, King Zhao said slowly: "Let the envoy come in, I want to see, Yan Guo dares to invade my border, and now he dares to send an envoy to the court, what does it mean?" ”

After a while, the messenger walked in.

The deceased bowed to King Zhao, and said with a slight smile: "King Zhao, don't come to harm, but this time I am on the orders of King Yan, King Yan has always been a good friend of King Zhao, so I hope King Zhao will not hold grudges about the previous invasion of the territory of Zhao State, and King Yan said that it was not he who invaded the border of Zhao State, but someone else." ”

King Zhao was a little surprised!

If it weren't for King Yan's order, who would have the guts to be so fat and dare to invade the Zhao State without authorization?

King Zhao looked at the envoy with a slight strange color in his eyes, he wanted to see from the envoy's expression whether this guy was lying, but although King Zhao stared at the envoy for a while, the envoy still had a calm face. Let King Zhao not see any flaws.

In King Zhao's heart, he had already faintly believed the words of the envoy.

At this time, after careful observation, King Zhao slowly spoke: "Say so." King Yan didn't mean to fall out with my Zhao Kingdom? But someone else, sowing discord among them? ”

Hearing this, the envoy nodded slightly and took out a pair of jade unicorns from his pocket.

This jade unicorn is priceless, and it is the most precious collection of King Yan, but it was brought by the envoy to King Zhao.

"King Zhao, this is a pair of jade unicorns, which is what King Yan gave to King Zhao, and I hope King Zhao will not be jealous of Yan State, King Yan also said that he wants to cultivate old friendships with Zhao State and fight against Qin State together, but King Yan also has a condition." The messenger said.

King Zhao looked at the envoy suspiciously.

At the same time, he also looked at the jade unicorn in the messenger's hand, his eyes looked a little greedy, such a beautiful jade, King Zhao couldn't wait to get him immediately.

Even then, King Zhao's hand had already stretched out and stopped in mid-air, wanting to hold this pair of jade unicorns like beauties immediately.

After the envoy suddenly proposed that he needed a condition, King Zhao's expression, which had just become excited, faded again. He withdrew his hand and asked, "What exactly is the condition?" ”

Hearing this, the envoy said: "The condition is to kill Zhao Han." ”

Kill Zhao Han?

Why is that?

King Zhao looked at the envoy in amazement, and the envoy also saw the doubts in King Zhao's heart, so he said: "Because Zhao Han killed Shen Wanhong, and Shen Wanhong is the richest person in our Yan Kingdom, Shen Wanhong's son Shen Que also died in the hands of Zhao Han, it is precisely because of him that Shen Wanhong will disobey King Yan's order and invade the border of Zhao State." ”

King Zhao was stunned, "You mean that Shen Wanhong invaded the border of my Zhao State in order to avenge his son?" ”

The envoy nodded slightly, King Zhao frowned slightly, and there was an eerie tranquility in the air.

After a long time, Zhao Wang said: "Although Shen Wanhong's son was killed by Zhao Han, maybe Shen Que offended Zhao Han first, so Zhao Heng killed him, and now he killed Zhao Han before he figured out the ins and outs of the matter, which is not appropriate." ”

Hearing this, the messenger was a little angry!

The messenger sneered, "Hahaha...... Since King Zhao wants to protect Zhao Han, I don't have anything to say, but what I want to tell you is that Shen Wanhong died in the hands of Zhao Han, and Shen Wanhong has a lot of power in Yan Kingdom, if you still want to care about who is right and who is wrong, then Shen Wanhong's people will invade Zhao State again, King Zhao I can tell you now, if the relationship between Zhao State and Yan State is stiffened because of this matter, it will not be good for you, right? ”

King Zhao frowned, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

This is obviously a tricky problem, and he needs to find a solution as soon as possible.

"Shen Wanhong's power is indeed not to be underestimated, and his death in Yan Country will definitely cause a certain amount of turmoil. However, this does not mean that we have to condone Zhao Han's actions. I will negotiate with King Yan to find out the truth and let Shen Wanhong's subordinates know that their actions cannot avenge Shen Wanhong. ”

King Zhao's words were full of firmness and decisiveness, and he didn't want to back down easily. 、

Although Zhao Han killed someone, King Zhao needed to let everyone know that Zhao was not a country that could be bullied at will.

"Did King Zhao ever think that Shen Wanhong's forces would not let you go so easily?" The envoy sneered and said, "If they decide that you are their enemy, they will definitely continue to invade the Zhao Kingdom, so that you will not be able to spend a night in peace." ”

A sharp light flashed in King Zhao's eyes, and what the envoy said was not groundless.

If Shen Wanhong's strength really decided to be unfavorable to him, it would indeed be a very serious problem.

"You go back and tell King Yan that before things are clarified, let him take care of Shen Wanhong's people, and I will definitely give King Yan an explanation!"

Seeing King Zhao's firm attitude, the corners of the envoy's mouth once again hooked up a sneer.

At this time, the envoy slammed the pair of jade unicorns in his hand to the ground.

Crash!

The jade unicorn was immediately shattered, which made King Zhao look distressed for a while, and the envoy said fiercely: "King Zhao, it is better to be broken than to be broken, since you insist on protecting Zhao Han, our Yan Kingdom is not easy to provoke, Zhao Han killed the people of our Yan Kingdom, and if you kill someone, you should pay for your life, so here today, I tell you, our Yan King will completely break with Zhao Kingdom, Zhao Han is your crown prince, of course you will not kill him, but Shen Wanhong is also the right-hand man of King Yan, but he was killed by Zhao Han, if you are still protecting Zhao Han, don't blame our Yan Kingdom!" ”

King Zhao looked at the jade unicorn on the ground, and his heart was like a knife.

This is his most beloved treasure, but now because of the words of this messenger, it was shattered in front of him, and King Zhao's eyes instantly became resolute.

"Envoy of Yan State, you are right, Zhao Han is the crown prince of my Zhao State, and his actions do represent the attitude of my Zhao State. However, I did not protect Zhao Han, and I was also looking for a solution to this matter. Rather for the broken jade, not for the whole tile, this is the temperament of the Yan Kingdom, but also the integrity of our Zhao Kingdom. ”

King Zhao's eyes revealed a kind of determination, he looked up at the envoy, and said, "Zhao Han did kill your right-hand man, this is a fact that cannot be changed. But I want to tell you that Zhao Han did not run away, and when he came back, he waited for King Yan's disposal. I, Zhao, will not compromise easily, but we will not start a war easily. We would prefer that disputes be resolved by peaceful means. ”

"So, how does King Zhao want to solve it?"

The messenger looked at King Zhao and waited for his next step.

"I want to propose a reconciliation plan," King Zhao said slowly, "Yan Guo and Zhao Guo jointly elected an impartial referee to adjudicate the grievances between Zhao Han and Shen Wanhong. If King Yan agrees, then we can settle the dispute in this way and avoid war. ”

When the messenger heard this, his brow furrowed.

This was not the answer he expected, but he could feel King Zhao's sincerity, and his eyes looking at King Zhao were a little complicated, this seemingly weak King Zhao was extremely firm at this moment.

"I will bring your proposal to King Yan," the envoy said in a deep voice, "I hope he can accept it, if King Yan agrees, I will come here again and agree on the specific details with you, and where did Zhao Han go?" It can't be you, King Zhao, who hid him and protected him, right? ”

After hearing this, King Zhao shook his head again and again.

The envoy smiled evilly: "Since you didn't hide Zhao Han, then let him come out immediately!" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao looked at the envoy in amazement, and then fell silent, and the envoy said impatiently: "So you still plan to protect Zhao Han?" ”

King Zhao smiled reluctantly at this time, and said: "I won't tell you, I also want to kill Zhao Han, but this is our royal family's own business, since you are the envoy of Yan State, it is not appropriate to tell you this, but since you asked, I will tell you, now Zhao Han is on the way to Emperor Wu City, I sent three thousand dead soldiers to hunt him down, I don't know if he is dead or alive now!" ”、

The envoy frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect that King Zhao would send three thousand dead soldiers to hunt down and kill Zhao Han.

But King Zhao had a disapproving expression, and he continued: "Actually, there is also a small feud between our Zhao Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, and you must also know that I am also doing this to teach Zhao Han a lesson. However, of course I don't want Zhao Han to die on the road, that won't be good for us Zhao Guo, I just want him to know that if he doesn't listen to me, the end will be miserable. ”

The envoy couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard this, he felt that King Zhao was deliberately playing tricks on him.

But he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to say patiently: "Since this is the case, then ask King Zhao to chase Zhao Han back, and our Yan Kingdom doesn't want to meddle in things." ”

King Zhao shook his head and said, "Now that the operation to hunt down Zhao Han has begun, I can't give up halfway." However, I promise that if Zhao Han really escapes to the Qin State, even if the King of Qin takes him in, don't blame me for being unkind in the future. ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was even more unhappy when he heard this, but he still held back his anger and said: "In this case, our Yan Kingdom does not want to interfere in your internal affairs, but listening to your words, I don't know if you let the three thousand dead soldiers protect Zhao Han or use the three thousand dead soldiers to hunt him down?" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao said: "Of course it's a pursuit, Zhao Han was a hostage in the Qin State three years ago, and I have intercepted the letter of the envoy of the Qin State a few days ago, only to know that Zhao Han has a grudge against me, and he has already colluded with the King of Qin to annex my Zhao State." ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom said in a deep voice: "King Zhao, you must know in your heart that now is not the time to be rash. Zhao Han is the crown prince of Zhao State, and his betrayal is undoubtedly a great blow to Zhao State. However, three thousand dead soldiers are not child's play, this is the elite of your Zhao country, it is the pride of your Zhao country, if you use these elites to hunt down Zhao Han, if you can't succeed, you will also attract Zhao Han's hatred. What's more, if Zhao Han really colluded with King Qin, then he still had the support of the powerful Qin State behind him. ”

King Zhao listened to the words of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his face.

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom was telling the truth, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if to calm the anger in his heart.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and said in a low but firm voice, "You are right. I'm not just going to be presumptuous, I know the true value of 3,000 dead men. I used them to hunt down Zhao Han, it was also impulsive, and now I mostly regret it! ”

The envoy of the Yan Kingdom bowed deeply and said, "King Zhao, since this is the case, I take my leave. ”

With that, he turned and left.
