Iron Dynasty

PS: There is one more chapter.

Bozhou.

When Xiao Qi came out of Prince Yan's mansion, she met Zhan Xingchang head-on.

He had met Zhan Xingchang on his last mission to Qingzhou, and knew that Zhan Xingchang was resourceful, so there was no doubt about the purpose of Zhan Xingchang's presence here.

I didn't expect King Qi's news to be so well-informed, and he knew King Wei's plan so quickly, but I don't know if Zhan Shishi also brought an assassin who was going to kill me. Xiao Qi sneered.

Zhan Xingchang had also met Xiao Qi. Between the words just now, Xiao Qi deliberately used the words of Zhan Shishi to irritate him just to make him angry, he said: If you want to kill you, why do you need to come to Bozhou in person? And you underestimate Your Highness too much, what you can do, we can do the same, and we can do it better. Zhan Xingchang said.

Xiao Qi's face changed slightly, Zhan Xingchang's simple words had already stated the purpose of his trip, and he was here for the sake of coexistence.

As for why Xiao Ming wanted to join forces, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he wanted to join forces with King Yan to attack King Wei.

With a sneer, Zhan Xingchang didn't want to say anything to Xiao Qi, so he turned around and walked towards Yan Wang's mansion.

Xiao Qi's name suddenly wrinkled. He has been in Bozhou for five days. During this time, he not only met the fourth prince, but also met the king of Yan.

However, although he tried his best to persuade, King Yan's words were vague and seemed to agree, but it seemed to be hesitant, but in general he meant that if King Liang and King Zhao agreed, he would send troops.

So this time he is going to go to King Liang to lobby, because he also knows that King Liang has always hated King Qi, and it is not a problem to reach a covenant with him.

This time he left because he was about to go to Liangdi, but now Zhan Xingchang's arrival made him feel uneasy for a while. This is the only way to save Wei Di.

Looking back at Prince Yan's mansion, Xiao Qi still decided to go to Prince Liang. At Prince Yan, he had already made it clear that he believed that Prince Yan would not go back on his decision.

When Xiao Qi left, Zhan Xingchang had already arrived in the main hall of King Yan's mansion, and King Yan was waiting for him in the main hall at this time.

You are Zhan Xingchang? It is said that the battle of Jizhou also had your credit. King Yan said loudly.

Zhan Xingchang raised his head and glanced at King Yan. In his eyes, King Yan was thin, with a long face and wide mouth, and his appearance was somewhat ugly, like a donkey face.

His Royal Highness King Huiyan is here, but the credit for the battle in Jizhou lies with His Highness, not me. Zhan Xingchang said cautiously.

King Yan stared at Zhan Xingchang, and he said, First it was King Wei, and now it's King Qi. What's going on now, what kind of wind is blowing you all over.

Zhan Xingchang thought that King Yan was really an old fox. This was a question that he knew well. As soon as Xiao Qi left, this King Yan pretended not to know anything.

So Zhan Xingchang said: His Royal Highness, this time King Qi sent me here not for anything else, but to give His Highness a great gift.

Oh? It's hard to see King Qi's great gift, let's talk about it. King Yan said with a smile.

Zhan Xingchang said lightly, Shouzhou.

Shouzhou?

King Yan's eyes flashed a ray of light, which was seen by Zhan Xingchang.

Yes, it is Shouzhou in Wei's land. His Highness has always been fond of Shouzhou. Now His Highness King Qi is willing to take Shouzhou together with His Highness and give this place to His Highness. Zhan Xingchang said.

King Yan remained calm on the surface, he said: This king of Shouzhou is the ancestral home of the Zheng family, but this ancestor's business is the ancestor's business after all. Wang doesn't want to make a big deal about this matter, and besides, even if this Shouzhou is won by this king, it will not necessarily belong to anyone in the end.

After that, King Yan took a sip of tea and waited for Zhan Xingchang's words.

So, King Yan decided to deal with us together with King Wei? Zhan Xingchang asked neither humbly nor arrogantly.

King Yan blew a breath of heat and said lightly: This king is not stupid, this Shouzhou is important or the safety of Yandi is important, this king is very clear, for a Shouzhou to sit and watch King Qi annex the entire Wei land, then King Qi wants to It's the king who will deal with it.

Zhan Xingchang became more and more cautious, this King Yan saw it very thoroughly, and this was their next plan.

Is it just that King Yan thinks that the troops of the four directions will be able to break through Qi?

Perhaps not, but it's enough to damage Qi's vitality so that it can no longer embezzle the land of other vassal kings. King Yan knocked on the table, and other vassal kings are not comparable in strength, even if they conquer each other, they can't be like Qi. It is generally simple for a king to annex Wei land, so this king is more willing to trust the king of Wei, rather than dig his own grave for a small profit.

Zhan Xingchang secretly thought that something was wrong, this King Yan was unusually calm, and he saw it very clearly. He said, What if Your Highness and Wei Di eased up the relationship? Don't forget that King Wei and His Highness are both royal relatives. The war is only for some unpleasant things, it is like a husband and wife fighting at the head of the bed, and at the end of the bed.

Hahaha... King Yan suddenly burst out laughing, If I didn't know Xiao Qi's identity, I might believe you, but after knowing his identity, I understand that King Wei will definitely not ask Xiao Ming for peace?

Xiao Qi's identity? Zhan Xingchang looked puzzled.

King Yan didn't seem to intend to hide the matter, he said directly: This Xiao Qi is not someone else, but the son of King Ning. Back then, Xiao Wenxuan killed King Ning for his throne, and King Wei hid his son and kept him by his side. It can be said that King Wei has long been dissatisfied, King Qi is Xiao Wenxuan's son, how could King Wei submit to him, although King Wei is extravagant, but this king knows that King Wei is still a bit tough.

Zhan Xingchang looked shocked. He had also heard about the big case of King Ning. King Yan said that he finally understood why King Wei refused to form an alliance with Xiao Ming. It turned out that in his heart, he had always harbored hatred for Xiao Wenxuan and his children. .

So it is. Zhan Xingchang's eyes narrowed, but he still had a trump card, he believed that King Yan would not refuse, because under the current situation, this is what everyone wants.

After pondering for a while, Zhan Xingchang rolled his eyes, and he said foolishly: Actually, His Royal Highness King Qi has long known Xiao Qi's identity, so the war with King Wei is just a personal grievance, His Highness has no intention of competing for the world, but it is If you want to keep your own country at ease, in order to prove His Highness’s innocence, His Highness instructed the lower officials to teach you the musket manufacturing technology to Yandi.”

King Yan's eyes narrowed suddenly, and his heart beat violently a few times at this time, unsatisfactory, and I have to say that this condition is too tempting.
