The capital of Zhao State, Yanping City.

Qian Ling'er was seriously ill and in a coma, and the treatment of famous doctors in various places was ineffective, but in the end he miraculously recovered, and then, Xinghou Taode fell ill.

When Zhao Wangyi heard this, he was in a hurry. personally led the imperial doctor in the palace to visit.

Xinghou Mansion, inside Todd's bedroom.

Todd sat on the bed, pale and frail, but his expression was unusually respectful. Just because there is the monarch of Zhao sitting next to him, Zhao Yi!

Seeing that the imperial doctor on the side was retracting his fingers, with a thoughtful look on his face, King Zhao hurriedly asked, "How is Tao Aiqing's health?"

The imperial physician was a gray-haired old man, and when he heard the king's inquiry, he hurriedly put down the withered hand that was stroking his beard, and saluted: "Returning to my king, Xinghou Qi and blood Sumeru, and the leakage of essence and qi is a disease of body weakness and external evil invasion." Come to think of it, Xinghou was not a general, he fought for the country in front, and the army worked hard, so he left hidden dangers. In addition, I have not had much rest recently, and I have not rested because of my nervousness, so I have today's illness. ”

Seeing that King Zhao was still worried, the old lady doctor continued: "My king can rest assured, when the old minister prescribes a prescription to nourish qi and blood, rest and recuperate for a few days, Xinghou can be cured." ”

"Whew~!" King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little peace of mind: "That's good, that's good!" Imperial Doctor Hua, Tao Aiqing is in poor health, and Mrs. Wen Qinghou is frail, so you can stay in Xinghou Mansion." ”

The old lady Hua glanced at the weak Xinghou and hurriedly agreed.

Tao De, who was on the bed, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face was grateful, and he hurriedly admonished: "My king, how can Weichen accept this kind of grace?

King Zhao stretched out his hand to stop it, smiled and comforted, then turned his head to look at the old eunuch Wang Jien behind him, and ordered: "Ji'en, you go with Imperial Doctor Hua to prepare the medicinal soup." ”

Wang Jien understood, so he led the old lady out of the bedroom together, and did not forget to gently close the door when he was leaving.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhao Wangyi's smiling expression slowly revealed a trace of hesitation.

Tao De saw that King Zhao's expression was different, how could he not know that King Zhao had something to ask, so he asked, "What troubles does my king have?"

King Zhao glanced at Tao De, and said: "Actually, it's not a worry, Aiqing previously surrounded and annihilated 100,000 elite wolf cavalry of the Yan army for this king, and recovered the southern barrier of the Lost Heaven Bridge, and even won the northern barrier in one fell swoop! ”

Hearing this, Tao De hurriedly looked solemn, and begged: "Weichen is guilty of capital crimes, please punish my king!"

Hearing Todd's words, King Zhao smiled and asked, "What are you guilty of?"

Tao De reluctantly bowed and blamed himself: "The criminal minister, without the king's order, beheaded 30,000 soldiers of the Yan army without permission; without an order to wave the army to capture the two barriers of the Heavenly Bridge; Which of these three sins is a capital crime, and the guilty minister asks my king to punish him as an example to the world. ”

King Zhao just watched quietly, and Tao De, who was burying his head in pleading. There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, he suddenly laughed and said: "Aiqing is serious, although the widow is not as virtuous as the ancestors, he is not a dumb lord. The war widows in the north have already granted you the right to arbitrary, and this is not guilty. Besides, it is normal for people to return to the capital, what is the crime? Aiqing only needs to recuperate in peace, and the widow still expects you to open up territory for the widow after you recover?"

Tao De suddenly burst into tears, and saluted gratefully: "My king Tian'en, the minister's liver and brain can't be repaid in case, Weichen will level Beiyan for my king and help my king rule the world." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Wanglong Yan was happy, but after a moment, he frowned and said, "It's just that yesterday, the envoy of Beiyan came to hand over the credentials. I am willing to pay tribute to 100,000 war horses to my Great Zhao...... , intent on reconciliation between the two countries. If I have no intention of making peace, Beiyan will raise an army to fight me to the death!"

"What?" Tao Dewen was suddenly shocked in his heart, and asked, "My king, what do you think?"

King Zhao hesitated and said: "Among the hundred officials, many ministers think that peace is the best policy. After all, the country of tigers and wolves in the north of the country, the people are fierce, and they do not obey the king of the southerners, and it is difficult to accept their hearts for a while, but they can slowly figure it out.

But if it is reconciled, the widow is unwilling, and I don't know if I can see the unification of the world in my lifetime. So this time, I came here to visit Aiqing, and secondly, to ask Aiqing, what should this northern thing be?"

Seeing that King Zhao hesitated, Tao De thought for a moment and said, "My king, do you still remember what the king asked and what the minister answered when the palace tested?"

King Zhao didn't see Tao De talking about Beiyan, but talked about the past, and then nodded suspiciously.

Tao De saw it and recalled: "On the occasion of the palace test, the minister said that Beiyan will be prosperous. If our king promises to reconcile the two countries, then the Yan Kingdom is expected to prosper. ”

"En?" King Zhao said in surprise: "Aiqing, Beiyan and I make peace, pay tribute every year, and almost surrender, how can this eliminate the other's strengths and prosper?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao De had already expected it in his heart, and he still said with a look on his face: "Your Majesty, the people of Beiyan are deserted and fierce, and the country is ruled by force, how can it be able to maintain peace for a long time? When did Beiyan seek peace and pay tribute? But this time, Beiyan can be said to have woken up after this great defeat! He knows how to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and he knows how to endure the great trouble of not being able to reach the level of literature and pro-martial arts! The strength of the tiger is especially afraid of hunting; the edge of the steel knife will especially break; but if the steel knife is tempered and tough, and can bend and stretch, it can dance like a brilliant and invincible. Today's Beiyan, if he works hard and follows my Zhao, he will ...... soon It will no longer be the barbarian country of the past. ”

Todd's words are constantly echoing in King Zhao's heart at this moment. In a trance, King Zhao seemed to understand something. This courtier, who sat in front of him, had far-sightedness and unique views, and it could be said that the Manchu Dynasty could not match the civil and military forces! This was exactly the pillar he had always longed for. But, for some reason, at this moment, King Zhao's heart had a hint of jealousy!

Letting go of this inexplicable feeling, King Zhao tried to say: "Then Aiqing's intention is to fight?"

"No! Tao De immediately denied it, then looked at King Zhao with a puzzled face, and explained: "My king, the battle between the great powers, whether it is a war or not, is a temporary strategy. My king wants to dominate the world, and Weichen thinks that when he focuses on the situation and follows the trend, he can determine the future. ”

"What is the potential?" Hearing Todd's words, King Zhao hurriedly asked.

Seeing this, Tao De said with feelings: "Weichen was also tested by his junior brother and sister, and he realized it. ”

Hearing Tao De talk about Luo Yu, King Zhao suddenly thought of what Luo Yu said when he was in the palace test, and he listened more carefully when he saw this.

Todd continued: "... The momentum of my big Zhao has become strong, but there is a lack of a momentum to spread his wings, people. ”

"Harmony?" King Zhao was even more puzzled when he heard this: "My people in Zhao have enough food and clothing, and their lives are stable, how can there be no one to be harmonious?"

Tao De waved his hand and smiled: "The people and people that the minister refers to are not the people of my Great Zhao, but the people of the north. If my king wants to be the lord of the world, he naturally wants to regard the people of Yandi as his own people. ”

King Zhao thoughtfully: "The people of Yandi are also my people?"

"Yes!" Tao De affirmed: "Our king not only wants to make peace, but also to open a mutual market, organize merchants to go deep into Yandi to benefit the people with food and clothing, and open a school to promote the prosperity of Wang Hua and Zhaodi......; In this way, within ten years, my Da Zhao is getting stronger and stronger. And Beiyan seems to be prosperous, but in fact, the heart of anti-Zhao is declining. As soon as this momentum is completed, it will be the time when my king will come to the world. ”

"Good!good!" King Zhao clapped his hands, and when his mood calmed down a little, he looked at Tao De, who was tired on the front, and said with concern: "Tired Aiqing is sick, and he has to work hard for the country, and it is the fault of the widow." Aiqing Jinshi's words, the widow has written it down, and it must be done with national policy. ”

When Todd heard this, he was grateful.

King Zhao left, leaving Imperial Doctor Hua and two pretty palace ladies to take care of him.

......

The night was deep.

Listening to the footsteps slowly moving away, Todd slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the closed door, and then laughed at himself: "O king's heart!"

He knew that the old lady Nahua and the two palace ladies given to him were the grace of King Zhao and the eyes of the king. There is also a reason why he advocates peace. Because once the war starts, he will go to the battlefield himself, and that is if again

Add meritorious deeds, King Zhao will definitely be even more jealous, and there will be many unfavorable ...... for him. This time to support the peace, it is time for King Zhao to go to the heart of suspicion. However, with these three people here, from now on, he will be 'honest with King Zhao', otherwise he will .......

"Your king doubts you~. Suddenly, a cold and strange laughter sounded in the silent dormitory! Then a heavy black cloud drifted out, and a vague cloud of mist appeared!

The figure stood on the side of the bed, looking quietly, looking like Todd who was sleeping at the moment.

Seeing that Todd was ignoring him, Venerable Mo Ling floated to the opposite side of the bed and asked, "The deity can help you make the old man and the two women disappear." ”

"Hmph!" Todd's eyes suddenly opened, he looked at the Mo Ling Venerable, and said disdainfully: "Put away your good old man's behavior, don't pretend to be stupid in front of me!

Seeing that his mind was seen through by Tao De, Venerable Mo Ling was not angry, but said excitedly: "Tao De, you are so smart, the deity really did not misunderstand you, no wonder the old fox of the White Emperor would choose you to inherit his inheritance." But the deity doesn't understand, why did you choose to believe in the old fox of the White Emperor, but you didn't believe me?"

Todd quietly listened to the 'speech' of the Mo Ling Venerable, and when he finished speaking, he sneered, "Because you are a demon, you are the old fox. ”

Hearing this, Venerable Mo Ling seemed to sigh very sadly.

Seeing this, Todd asked impatiently: "Tell me, what are you going to do when you come out with the demon soul?" Don't tell me, you are just telling these jokes to make me laugh." If so, then I tell you, your purpose has been accomplished. ”

As he spoke, Todd grinned silently. When Venerable Mo Ling saw this, he also laughed along with him, and when Todd's face slowly became cold, he suppressed his laughter, and floated back to the side and said, "Todd, you are wrong to blame the deity, the deity cares about you." ”

Seeing that Tao De was looking at him expressionlessly, in the palm that was slowly raised, a white light was flashing at this moment, and a small stone appeared! Mo Ling Venerable hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Tao De, you saved Qian Ling'er by self-inflicted Shouyuan, but it is just a drop in the bucket, is it worth it? You obviously know that as long as she cultivates the Heavenly Spirit Technique, she will be fine." But you don't let her cultivate, because you're afraid that after she cultivates, the Heavenly Spirit Clan's Heavenly Maiden will sense her! Actually, you don't have to be like this, believe in the deity, as long as you let me out, after the deity's strength is restored, it will be easy to save her. And then...!"

Without waiting for Venerable Mo Ling to finish speaking, Tao De pinched his handprint, urged Fang Cun Mountain in his palm, and said in a deep voice: "Then what? Then you can counter me? Then you can harm the world? Don't bewitch Ben Hou and go back to Fang Cun Mountain!"

As he spoke, the Dao Dao handprint in Todd's hand was revealed, flashing white fluorescent, and Fang Cun Mountain instantly became larger, and the cover pressed towards the Mo Ling Venerable!

The Mo Ling Venerable suddenly roared: "Tao De, you can't do this to me! Without my strength, the Heavenly Maiden of the Heavenly Spirit Clan will find this one day, and you alone can't fight the Heavenly Spirit Clan! Not only that, they will also take away the inheritance ...... of the White Emperor!"

"Hum~!" Fang Cunshan trembled, suppressed and descended, and the house returned to calm.

Looking at the Fang Cun Mountain, which has returned to his hands and is slowly becoming smaller, until it disappears.

Todd clenched his fists and said to himself in a deep voice: "You are just afraid that Fang Cun Mountain will return to the Heavenly Spirit Clan, and you will never have a chance to be free, so why should you pretend to be a good person?

Although Todd was very weak at this time, his words were also sonorous and powerful!

Todd knew that what the Ink Spirit Venerable said was true, but he couldn't do that. Because no one can understand the horror of the Mo Ling Venerable better than him, once the Mo Ling Venerable is released, when his strength is restored, it will be a catastrophe given to the continent by the gods! He can't do it, let alone dare to do it! He would rather lose his longevity to maintain Qian Ling'er's life than be a sinner in the mountains and seas...

Suddenly thinking of Qian Ling'er, he slowly let go of his fist, hugged his head and muttered bitterly: "Why? Why choose me? Why Ling'er ......." ”
