"Now that the Yan Kingdom has invaded the border of my Zhao State, Xiao Fuzi will immediately pass on this letter, and it will definitely be delivered to Zhao Ji as soon as possible." King Zhao said.

"Yes, King Zhao." Xiao Fuzi replied respectfully, quickly left King Zhao's palace, and ran towards the post station.

The importance of this letter is not insignificant, and it must be delivered to Zhao Ji as quickly as possible.

In King Zhao's palace, King Zhao sat in front of the jade carved window, silently contemplating.

There was a glint of worry and anticipation in his eyes, and he was clearly anxious about the current situation.

The State of Yan, a large country second only to the State of Zhao, has always been the State of Zhao

Rivals. Their attack this time was undoubtedly a serious threat to the Zhao State. However, King Zhao did not show the slightest fear, his eyes were full of determination and determination.

Xiaofuzi rushed to the post station and handed the letter to an experienced messenger.

The messenger took the letter, gave him a deep look, and then mounted his horse and galloped out.

Xiao Fuzi looked at the back of the messenger in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart!

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but think about why King Zhao valued this letter so much.

Could it be that King Zhao already has a strategy to deal with the invasion of the Yan Kingdom?

Or is there some secret hidden in this letter?

Xiao Fuzi shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore, the most important thing at the moment was to carry out King Zhao's order well.

Back at the palace, Xiao Fuzi replied to King Zhao.

King Zhao listened to his return, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "Very good, little Fuzi. You did very well. He praised.

Xiaofuzi was grateful in his heart, which was the best reward for his loyalty and responsibility.

Looking at the waning moon hanging in the air, King Zhao sighed deeply, "Our Zhao Kingdom and Yan Kingdom are already cold-hearted, if the alliance with Yan Kingdom breaks down. The Qin State will inevitably take the opportunity to enter, and now Zhao Ji is still guarding the Nanyun Sea, I know that Zhao Ji is in a very dangerous situation now, but I can't take the liberty of sending troops to tear my face with the King of Yan, the Yan State has repeatedly invaded the border land, what should I do, how should I be good? ”

King Zhao fell into deep contemplation.

The alliance between Zhao and Yan was the key to the survival of Zhao.

However, Yan's aggressive behavior put this alliance in jeopardy.

King Zhao must make a decision, a decision that can protect the state of Zhao and Zhao Ji.

At the same time, Zhao Ji, the guardian of the South Cloud Sea, is also facing a huge challenge.

If the Nanyun Sea he was in was besieged by the army of the Yan Kingdom, the situation would be very dangerous! But his mission is to protect Nan Yunhai and not let Nan Yunhai fall into the hands of the enemy.

King Zhao didn't want to lose Nanyunhai, and he didn't want the Yan-Zhao alliance to break, he wanted both fish and bear's paws.

"King Zhao, why don't we let people go to the Yan Kingdom to negotiate with the Yan King?" Xiaofuzi said.

King Zhao shook his head, "The envoy of the Yan Kingdom has been here, the crown prince Zhao Han killed Shen Wanhong, the rich man of the Yan Kingdom, and the King of Yan means to let me kill Zhao Han, I can't do it!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi said: "It's Zhao Han again, hasn't King Zhao already deposed Zhao Han as the crown prince?" And the King of Qin also intends to kill Zhao Han, if he kills Zhao Han, he can make King Yan and King Qin give up attacking our Zhao State at the same time, but kill two birds with one stone? ”

King Zhao smiled bitterly, "Xiaofuzi, you don't understand, although I am King Zhao, I also have my bottom line and principles." Zhao Han killed Shen Wanhong, that was a grudge between them, and it had nothing to do with me. Zhao Han is the crown prince of Zhao State, even if he makes a big mistake, I can't easily hand him over to outsiders. What's more, even if Zhao Han is killed, there is no guarantee that the Yan State and the Qin State will definitely give up attacking our Zhao State. The world is unpredictable, and war is not something we can control. ”

Xiao Fuzi listened to King Zhao's words and no longer insisted, he knew that King Zhao had already made a decision and he couldn't change it. He silently stepped aside and said no more.

King Zhao looked at the back of Xiao Fuzi leaving, and sighed with emotion in his heart.

At this moment, King Zhao felt a deep loneliness, and his heart began to slowly become sad, his throne was not stable, the forces of all countries were secretly competing, and Zhao was in a very delicate position.

Both Yan and Qin were great powers, and their battles had exhausted Zhao.

He hoped to find a solution that would allow Zhao to remain neutral in the fight and not be held back by either side.

The worst thing is that Qin and Yan attacked Zhao together, leaving him with the enemy on his back and handing over the rivers and mountains that the former king had beaten to others.

……

Xiaofuzi was walking alone in the gloomy imperial city, and suddenly a sack put him in it, and before he could shout, he was gagged by a ball of paper.

Xiaofuzi was frightened by the sudden attack, and he felt like a prey caught by a hunter, trapped tightly in a sack.

He tried to struggle, but the mouth of the sack was tightly tied and he couldn't move. He wanted to scream, but the paper ball in his mouth prevented him from making a sound.

When Xiao Fuzi was released from the sack, he had already been tied up with five flowers, and it was Zhao Heng who took down the paper ball from his mouth, and he was in King Heng's mansion at this time.

Zhao Heng slowly squatted in front of Xiao Fuzi and said with an evil smile: "Little eunuch, you have to be careful when you walk in the future, otherwise your little life will be gone!" I'm the one who captured you this time, and the next time I meet someone else, I probably won't spare your life. ”

The people on the side began to laugh!

Zhao Heng's words made Xiao Fuzi feel frightened in his heart, he nodded again and again, and said: "The third prince Xie spares his life, and the third prince Xie spares his life." ”

Zhao Heng laughed and said, "Little eunuch, do you know why I arrested you?" ”

Xiaofuzi shook his head blankly.

Zhao Heng said: "You sent the letter to the post station just now, but you told me, what was written in the letter?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi remembered that this letter was written by King Zhao to Zhao Ji, the fourth prince, if he told the third prince Zhao Heng, King Zhao would definitely not let him go, so Xiao Fuzi said fearfully: "Third prince, you just spare me, I don't know anything, I don't know." ”

Zhao Heng smiled coldly and said, "Little eunuch, if you don't say it, I naturally have a way to make you speak." ”

Xiao Fuzi shook his head blankly and said, "Third Prince, I really don't know anything, I don't know anything. ”

Zhao Heng saw that Xiao Fuzi refused to confess, so he glanced at the guards beside him and said, "Take him down and interrogate him well." ”

The guards took the order and took Xiaofuzi down. It didn't take long for a few guards with wooden sticks in their hands to walk in, and when Zhao Heng saw this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer.

Xiao Fuzi was pressed to the ground, the guards held wooden sticks, and tortured fiercely, Xiao Fuzi cried in pain and called his mother, but he still refused to reveal any information.

Zhao Heng's smile gradually retracted, and he said lightly: "Little eunuch, do you know the consequences of betrayal?" ”

Xiao Fuzi shook his head blankly, of course he knew the consequences of betrayal, it would be an extremely serious punishment, and he might even lose his life. But he didn't want to betray King Zhao and the four princes, but how should he choose?

Zhao Heng looked at Xiao Fuzi's panicked appearance, and secretly laughed in his heart, he said: "I'll give you a chance, as long as you tell me the content of the letter, I will let you go." ”

Xiao Fuzi struggled in his heart, he knew that Zhao Heng was not joking, as long as he said the content of the letter, he could avoid punishment. But he also knew that if he told Zhao Heng the content of the letter, it would be tantamount to betraying King Zhao and the four princes.
