Qin Shi Luo Net People

Chapter 685 What Do Men Like?
On a forest path, hundreds of elite cavalry in black and red armor are escorting a carriage slowly forward.

This team is naturally Luo Yan and others.

Luo Yan didn't stay in South Korea for a long time. After appeasing Mrs. Mingzhu, he set off for Zhao country.

Compared with the trivial matters in South Korea, going to Zhao State is the most important thing this time, because Zhao State and Qin State have too much grievances. Little, who made the relationship between Chu and Qin complicated.

In contrast, the Zhao State and the Qin State were blood feuds, especially in this generation of Zhao people. Nine out of ten elders died in the Battle of Changping.

Back then, Bai Qi was so ruthless that he basically slaughtered Zhao Guo's generation of young and middle-aged people.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a number, and they think it is nothing but awesome, but to Zhao Guo, it is an unforgettable blood feud, not just words in a book.

War is cruel after all.

This also led to Zhao Guo's firm mentality against Qin. If it weren't for Guo Kai's goodness and a handsome man like Li Mu leading the army, Qin would have to grind Zhao Guo down and use human lives and resources to smash it. There is a bit of fighting, which is not good for the future occupation of countries, let alone post-war governance.

"Guo Kai..."

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Yan was thinking about how to bribe Guo Kai, so that Guo Kai could squeeze out Li Mu as soon as possible, and even kill Li Mu in advance.

As for persuading Li Mu to surrender, Luo Yan never thought about it.

Persuading surrender also depends on the person.

People like Li Mu can't be persuaded by a few words, unless Zhao Guo is really destroyed and his last thoughts are cut off, otherwise he can't talk to the other party with his mouth alone.

However, another problem arose.

It was Qin who destroyed Zhao. Would people like Li Mu return to the enemy?

The most indispensable thing these days is people with integrity.

"I don't know if I can see him this time. If I do, I can try it out."

Luo Yan thought to himself.

It is indeed a pity that people like Li Mu were cheated to death.

Da Si Ming looked at Luo Yan who was lying on his lap, and said coldly: "We have entered the Taihang Mountains, and we can enter the border of Zhao State tonight."

"It's pretty fast."

Hearing this, Luo Yan couldn't help but say.

Da Si Ming said: "You'd better be mentally prepared, Zhao people are not very friendly to Qin people."

"I'm not from old Qin."

Luo Yan immediately retorted, there is nothing wrong with what he said, according to the modern geography, he is actually a Chu countryman, no, he is a Qi countryman... Forget it, don’t think about it, everyone is a Chinese person, as long as the world is unified, in the future There is no such problem.

"But you are the Marquis of Liyang of the Qin Kingdom, and you are the teacher of the current King Qin, and you are the imperial tutor!"

Da Si Ming couldn't help reminding that she felt that Luo Yan was a little confused about the situation.

Zhao Guoke is different from other countries.

At the most serious time, the state of Zhao would kill the people of Qin state one by one, so that the merchants of the state of Qin did not dare to enter Zhao, because those Zhao people were really jealous of the people of Qin, and they didn't care whether they were innocent or not.

Although it has gotten better in recent years, the hatred in his bones has not changed.

"Since this is the case, wouldn't the State of Zhao have to protect me even more? If something happened to me, the State of Qin would have another reason to attack the State of Zhao."

Luo Yan said following Da Si Ming's train of thought.

"Do you think Zhao Guoren will care about this?"

Da Si Ming asked instead.

Luo Yan nodded immediately when he heard the words, and said, "Don't worry, I have people in Zhao State. If there is no accident, someone will come to pick us up after entering the territory of Zhao State."

He wasn't too worried about safety.

Zhao Guo is Guo Kai's domain, he gave Guo Kai two cartloads of gifts, and the offer was more generous than Lu Buwei, how could the other party treat him disrespectfully.

In addition, Luo Yan's reputation abroad over the years is also very good.

It stands to reason that you can get courtesy in any country you go to.

Even Zhao Guo is the same.

The uneducated civilians below are ignorant, how can the dignitaries above understand?
When Da Si Ming heard the words, he stopped talking and continued to massage Luo Yan, the technique was quite good.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

. . . . . . . . . . .

It's approaching evening.

Luo Yan and others also successfully entered the territory of Zhao State, and the border position was not blocked.

Just as Luo Yan guessed, Guo Kai is very good at being a man. He was able to rise from a young servant to the position of Zhao Guoxiangbang. Naturally, he did not rely on his own talents, but on sycophancy, cliques, and trying to figure out people's thoughts. Of course, all this is to please King Zhao.

In this regard, Guo Kai's skill points are undoubtedly full.

Therefore, just after entering the border of Zhao State, he was greeted by a Zhao State general.

"The person here is the Marquis of Liyang of the Qin State, the last general Yan Ju, under the order of the Prime Minister, waiting here!"

The person who came was a middle-aged general with two mustaches hanging from the corners of his mouth. He was wearing armor and had bright tiger eyes. When he spoke, he was full of arrogance, quite a bit like a warrior on the battlefield.

Yan Ju?

The name was a little familiar, and the introduction of this person appeared in his mind.

Very short, but the content is very exciting.

The opponent was originally from Qi, but later defected to Zhao State for unknown reasons, and later became a general of Zhao State, and he did well in Zhao State. In history, this person was one of the executioners who killed Li Mu.

no wonder~
Now they are all mixed with Guo Kai, so it can be seen that the other party is Guo Kai's confidant, and it is logical that Li Mu's matter will be entrusted to him in the future.

They are all nobles from Qin!
Hearing this, Luo Yan got out of the carriage quickly, surrounded by Da Si Ming and Mo Ya, and said with a smile: "Please trouble the general!"

Looking at Luo Yan who got off the carriage, Yan Ju's eyes changed suddenly, his smile became more intense, and he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I have seen the Marquis of Liyang, this time Xiangguo should have come to greet him in person, but something happened in the king's capital, Xiangguo I can't get away, so the last general will do it for me, and I hope Marquis Liyang will forgive me for my negligence."

"I have a good relationship with Xiangguo in the past, so I will not be polite this time."

Luo Yan smiled unabated, and said following Yan Ju's meaning.

Subtext: We're in this together.

As expected of a prime minister, he is also close friends with Marquis Liyang of Qin State... Yan Ju's expression became more respectful, and he said, "It's getting late, how about Marquis Liyang entering the city first? Drinks have been prepared in the city to cleanse the Marquis of Liyang. "

"Okay, I'll trouble you, General."

Luo Yan said with a smile, and immediately walked towards the border city with Yan Ju on foot.

I also observed the soldiers of Zhao State along the way. Compared with the soldiers of South Korea, the eyes of these soldiers of Zhao State were more indifferent and firm, with a taste of iron and blood, and even mixed with a bit of disgust and killing intent. They glanced at Luo Yan and others passing by. .

If it wasn't for Yan Ju's presence, Luo Yan suspected that these soldiers would dare to attack them.

Da Si Ming's words are not alarmist.

Fortunately, Guo Kai is my elder brother!

That's right, Luo Yan intends to recognize Guo Kai as his eldest brother... He generally does not look at his sister-in-law when he considers an elder brother.

Mo Ya looked at Luo Yan's fluent eloquence, and was also in admiration.

As expected of him, he became acquainted with others in just a few words, which made Mo Ya think of himself in the past. He seemed to chat with Luo Yan in the same way at the beginning, and then his immediate bosses were all killed by Luo Yan.

Smiling tiger... Mo Ya thought so.

Da Si Ming looked at all this indifferently, and felt that Luo Yan was a bit self-deprecating. The dignified Marquis of Liyang of Qin State, Dongjun's future husband, actually chatted with a general of Zhao Guobiao.

Meng Tian was indifferent to these, and with an indifferent face, he led his soldiers to protect Luo Yan's safety.

All the way nonsense, soon, a group of people entered the border city lord's mansion.

Great food and wine... except for the lack of dancers, the treatment was perfect.

Thanks to the other party for being able to produce so many things at the border.

Three rounds of wine.

Luo Yan opened his mouth and asked tentatively: "Did I bring any trouble to Guo Xiangguo when I was sent to Zhao Guo this time? How did those people in Zhao Guo's court hall react? I wonder if General Yan can help me?"

While speaking, Luo Yan took out a stack of money bills with a considerable amount from his pocket, pressed them on the table, and pushed them over.

As the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are polite.

As for these money tickets, there were money tickets in Qin Shi's world, but only among the big forces.

For example, Qianlongtang in the farmhouse has something similar.

The money tickets in Luo Yan's hands were produced by the chamber of commerce, and they can be exchanged at any member shop of the chamber of commerce, which facilitates the circulation of funds and has a high reputation.

It has been circulated in various countries for more than a year, and Luo Yan believes that the other party can recognize what it is.

Luo Yan and Yan Ju don't have a friendship, so it's not beautiful to blindly use their status to pressure them. It's better to use money to maintain them. He doesn't lack money anyway, so things that can be solved with money naturally don't need to be too troublesome.

"Marquis of Liyang, this is... this is definitely not..."

Yan Ju naturally recognized what it was, and was about to decline politely, saying that it was not a big deal and there was no need for it, but he glanced at the money note, and suddenly couldn't hold back.

The amount of that ticket was five thousand gold, and Luo Yan took out at least ten of them, no less than fifty thousand gold, this figure was a bit exaggerated, enough to make people jealous and lose their minds.

South Korea's border defense costs only one hundred thousand gold a year, and Luo Yan's casual outlay is South Korea's half-year military expenditure.

Just asking for a message... This is a bit too exaggerated.

"To make friends, I hope General Yan will not refuse. Anyone who knows me knows that I like to make friends, regardless of status."

Luo Yan smiled and let go of the hand that was pressing on the money note, and said slowly.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups, and those who follow Guo Kaihun, Luo Yan does not believe that Yan Ju is not interested in money.

What's more, the money was sent out by himself.

If Yan Ju doesn't accept it, it means losing face.

If you accept it, everyone is on your own. If you want to collect money but not do things, it depends on whether you have the ability.

Guo Kai didn't dare, let alone a small character like Yan Ju.

Luo Yan thinks highly of him mainly because of Li Mu in history, spending a small amount of money to buy someone is nothing.

Yan Ju's expression was a little stiff, he looked at Luo Yan, and then at the money on the table. To be honest, the money he has embezzled and accepted bribes over the years is a little more than what Luo Yan gave. To climb up, in addition to talent, you have to see if there are people on the top.

If you want to please Guo Kai, how can you give gifts.

Swallowed.

Yan Ju said slowly: "How can I be a friend of the Marquis of Liyang? As for the affairs of the State of Zhao, Marquis of Liyang wants to know what I want to know, and I will tell you everything."

How can he not know how to climb up when Luo Yan saves face? He still understands this rule.

Immediately began to answer Luo Yan.

Luo Yan's sudden envoy to Zhao State caused quite a stir in Zhao State. After all, in recent years, Luo Yan's reputation in the Seven Kingdoms has been a bit big, especially what Luo Yan did in Qin State, which has attracted the envy of all countries. Now Luo Yan's sudden intention to come to Zhao country naturally caused countless people to think wildly and speculate about Luo Yan's intentions.

They obviously couldn't guess that Luo Yan's goal was Guo Kai, as for the others, they were all incidental.

So everyone felt that Luo Yan had some purpose.

There were even radicals who thought that Luo Yanqiang should stay in Zhao Guo. This idea was strongly opposed by Guo Kai.

In short, during this period of time, King Zhao was a little uneasy.

The center of the storm was naturally Luo Yan.

Soon, Luo Yan learned all the inside information that Luo Yan wanted to know from Yan Ju, and even learned a lot about Guo Kai from the other party, such as sister-in-law and so on... Well, Guo Kai's original partner has passed away for many years , now there are only a dozen concubines, and they have not married again.

As for the dancers and the like, there are countless.

When he was young, Guo Kai followed Zhao Yan and wandered around the various romantic places, so he was not a serious person.

Good at bragging, flattering, drinking, gambling, playing with women, spoofing enemies, etc.

So.

The young Zhao Yan felt that Guo Kai was a talent and "knowledgeable", so after he ascended the throne, he was named Zhao Guoxiang.

It can be seen what kind of character Zhao Yan is.

Of course, I don't blame Zhao Yan, who didn't love this when they were young.

Absurdity is also normal.

and so.

Zhao Yan resisted all opinions and married an advocating daughter as queen.

I'm hiccupping, no one can control him anymore!

I am the king and my boss.

Speaking of Queen Zhao, she is also very interesting.

This woman was first married to Zhao Wang's clan, and her husband died and became a widow. Zhao Yan married her because of her beauty. Li Mu persuaded Zhao Yan not to accept her as Ji's concubine on the grounds that the daughter's birth was not right, and disturbing the clan's blood would lead to the collapse of the country. , Zhao Yan refused to listen, and later named her queen.

Among them, Guo Kai made great efforts, so Guo Kai's position became more and more stable.

Which man can withstand the pillow wind of a prostitute.

The death of Zhao Guo was not injustice at all.

Luo Yan murmured in his heart, Zhao Yan, as the king of Zhao, it's okay to like beautiful and coquettish women, it's okay to like pretty widows, and it's okay to reuse Guo Kai, the main reason is that he is not very smart and can't tell what to do Do, what not to do.

This kind of woman is fine if she can't just play around, if she insists on marrying her as a real wife, who can stand it.

The harem is at the mercy of women, and the court is being coaxed by Guo Kai. This is a shitty country.

After weaving out the dark history of the two, Luo Yan stood up and said goodbye: "The boat is exhausting, and I can't drink enough. Thank you, General, for the banquet tonight."

"Don't dare, as long as the Marquis of Liyang likes it, as for these..."

Yan Ju hurriedly got up to see them off, and at the same time grabbed the money ticket, intending to return it to Luo Yan.

"How can I take back the small money I gave the general for tea? The general just keeps it. As for tonight's matter, I drank too much tonight, and the general must have too much."

Luo Yan showed a smile and said softly.

He also got a secret from Yan Ju, Zhao Yan's body seemed to be unable to hold on.

This matter was learned by Yan Ju from Guo's mouth, and outsiders would not be able to know about it. If Yan Ju hadn't been happy with Guo, it would be impossible for Yan Ju to know this news.

It was also for this reason that Guo Kai wanted to contact Luo Yan.

Once Zhao Yan dies, who should succeed the new king will become a problem.

Guo Kai does not have the ability of Lu Buwei to pour power into the government and the opposition. He does not have this ability. The current power comes from Zhao Yan. Once Zhao Yan dies, he will not be able to suppress those powerful clansmen in Zhao State.

Therefore, Guo Kai urgently needs allies now.

The idea naturally hit Luo Yan.

Yan Ju sent Luo Yan to the door with a smile on his face, then watched Luo Yan, Da Siming and others leave, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally touched the money note in his lower abdomen, these news told Luo Yan that there should be nothing.

The other party will know sooner or later.
