Emperor Qin

When Yan Jiang took Youzhan and Liu Ji's two servants and traveled leisurely all the way to the east, the Yan Kingdom in the north was already a different world.

When the news of the failure of the assassination of Qin reached the border, Wang Ben moved the garrison to the north without saying a word, and inserted it like a nail in the military capital. The Taihang Mountains are [-] meters away, or you have to go to the Flying Fox Trail hundreds of miles away.

But the latter is no longer the hometown of Zhao State, and Qin's army is always on alert, ready to attack Dai from there.

After several days of crying with Prince Dan and his son Yan Wangxi, Yan Wangxi didn't have any expectations for his fighting power, and almost couldn't wait to start retreating along the Bohai Bay to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Although Liaodong is bitterly cold, there are at least Yin Mountains blocking it, unlike around Jidu, where you can't even find a high hillside.

"Father, we have already promised the envoy of the Dai Kingdom..." Prince Dan still hesitated, "If according to what Li Zuoche said, our Yan Kingdom and the Dai Kingdom allied forces, and there is Han to support you, you can send an envoy again Convince the State of Wei to adopt the strategy of joining forces with the east to attack Qin, and once the State of Zhao is restored, the danger of the State of Yan will be resolved."

As long as Zhao Guo stands in the way, Qin's number one enemy will never change.

Yan Wangxi looked at his son with cloudy eyes, and finally sighed heavily, as if he was a hundred years old in an instant, dragged his heavy steps, turned and left, and said that he was going to confess to his ancestors, son, you don't have to follow.

Prince Dan was at a loss for a while, not knowing what went wrong.

"Aren't you worried about what Chen Yu said at all?" On the carriage, Liu Ji finally couldn't hide his confusion, and asked curiously, "Yan and Qi were both destroyed back then, but they were successfully restored in the end. As the vice minister of the Qin State, why do you still have the time to travel around?"

"It's not that I look down on the Six Kingdoms. Hezong has never succeeded." Yan Jiang smiled contemptuously, and explained casually, "After the Changping War, Handan was besieged, and the life and death of the Zhao Kingdom were on the line. The Six Kingdoms rescued Zhao Hezong. Cheng attacked and retreated from Qin State, but never thought of attacking Qin State in one go. Wei Chu turned his head and went to destroy Wei State and Lu State, and retreated. Han and Zhao were overwhelmed and were counterattacked by Qin army. 13 people were wiped out by Qin, and returned to their home country in disgrace."

"This, why is this?" Liu Ji never thought that this would happen again, "Xin, Lord Xinling, why didn't he stop it?"

"Mr. Xinling's cutting of the talisman to save Zhao was exposed at that time, and the morale of the army was unstable. The King of Wei wanted to withdraw his troops. What could he say?" Yan Jiang smiled slightly. Didn't you see that ten years later, Zhao Guo recovered a little bit, and then captured several cities in Wei Guo?"

"It's so..." The young Liu Ji had a complex expression for a moment.

"What's more, later, when Meng Ao captured a city in Wei State, the king of Wei hurriedly recruited Lord Xinling to return to the country, and the armies of the five countries joined forces again. What happened?" Yan Jiang chuckled, "The six countries attacked Hangu After the pass, no one wanted to directly attack the strong city, so Wei Guo turned around and attacked South Korea's territory."

South Korea has never been beaten, so it screamed at that time, Wei Guo and Chu Guo fought for the land of Lu Guo, Zhao Guo saw that he couldn't beat it, so he turned to ask Yan Guo for trouble...

Later, Pang Nuan joined forces, bypassed Hangu Pass from the north, and fought around Xianyang. The armies of the six countries shouted 666 around Hangu Pass, and none of them sent troops to help. There was a fight outside.

"So, now that the situation is so tense, if someone wants to join forces again..." You Zhan, who was driving the car beside him, said thoughtfully, "It must be because of uneasiness and good intentions?"

"That's right," Yan Jiang praised, "Li Zuoche, the envoy of the country, first encouraged the old nobles in Han to rebel, and then wanted Wei to restrain him, so he must also go to Yan, and wanted Yan to be his meat shield." , it depends on whether King Yan agrees, if he agrees, it will be a great thing for Qin."

Once Yan State insists on fighting hard against Qin State, His Majesty will probably eat an extra bowl of happy meals. As far as Yan State’s fighting power is comparable to spaghetti, Qin Jun estimates that when he returns home after destroying Yan State, he will still Can catch up with the autumn sowing.

"That's why the country of that generation took the four countries as targets, and looked for opportunities to restore the country—" Liu Ji figured it out in an instant, feeling that the hearts of these officials were getting dirtier one by one.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly, agreeing with his statement.

The alliance of the six countries has never been combined, just like the cooperation between the two parties during the Anti-Japanese War in the later generations, which was forcibly pinched together by fate. Who is not smiling, and when the foreign enemy retreats, he immediately turns his face.

"Then the Six Kingdoms can't be done?" Liu Ji looked disappointed. He is still a Qingxia, and he still has a lot of ideas about making a name for himself.

Yan Jiang smiled without saying a word, but at the same time, he felt a little bit emotional. He was lucky that Li Zuoche survived so hard.

What Dai Guo wants most now should be to rescue Li Mucai.

However, this kind of thing is impossible. In a place like Qin State that needs to be tested everywhere, no matter how many warriors Zhao Guo produces, they are just given away for nothing. Li Mu is more like a bait in the hands of King Qin. It is used as a pretense to appease the hearts of the people in Zhaodi—even King Li Mu, the enemy of Qin, treats each other with courtesy, as long as you don't make trouble, there is no danger.

"Okay, Liu Ji, you go drive, it's time for Youzhan to rest."

"..."

It was getting late, and there was a village in front. At this time, the smoke was rising, Yan Jiang drove away Huahua, and drove their carriage to the entrance of the village. There were only a few people in the village, and their eyes were numb. Yan Jiang led his followers to find It's a nice house, and I told the owner that I want to stay overnight.

The owner of the house was an old woman. Seeing them dressed in extraordinary clothes, she agreed with some timidity.

The house is very large and there are many vacant rooms, but there are only an old woman and two grandchildren. There is very little firewood and rice, and there are only earthen stoves and pottery pots in the house. Yan Jiang cooked a pot of hot soup with the bacon and seasonings he brought. The old woman and the young grandson had a share, and they seemed to have never eaten meat. Yan Jiang was curious for a moment and asked where the male was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the old woman burst into tears silently.

Liu Ji whispered: "Don't ask her, I know this, this is Wei Wuzu's family."

Yan Jiang was shocked for a moment: "Isn't Wei Wuzu a rare elite soldier in the world?"

Liu Ji sneered: "What Wei Wuzu is worse than Lichen and concubines now."

Youzhan lowered his head and explained in a low voice: "Back then, Wu Qi trained the soldiers of Wei, each of whom was rewarded with a hundred acres of land. The selected ones have been in the army for generations, and they don't pay taxes. When they joined the army, they prepared their own rations... But, these years, Wars broke out frequently, and after Wu Qi left, the method of soldier training has long been lost, so..."

Yan Jiang understands that the special soldiers like Wei Wuzu are strong, but in order to let them serve the country wholeheartedly, the country gave the land, the wife and the status, but well, under the strengths of the battle, the Wei State was defeated more than ever. At least, these families of military soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and there are few males, and they have to bring their own rations for bows and arrows. No wonder they live in such a miserable state.

Thanks to Mr. Wang, he still has the face to say how strong his family's Wei military soldiers are, but it turned out that they were all bragging.

After dinner, Yan Jiang asked them to find vacant houses to live in.

When he picked up the equipment from the side of the bed, he saw that there were marks pressed by someone beside the straw couch.

He turned to look at His Majesty.

The two nodded in agreement.

Yan Jiang found the blackened firecloth cloak from the baggage, and brought his small things.

Open doors and windows.

His Majesty immediately spread his wings and flew high. After a few breaths, the bird made a figure eight in the air.

Yan Jiang knew it in his heart and brought complete equipment.

He sneaked silently in the shadow of the moonlight, avoiding the guarded surveillance position.

Following the instructions of the birds in the sky, Yan Jiang easily turned over the low courtyard wall and came to a relatively small room next to him. Just as he was about to eavesdrop, his majesty signaled that someone was coming, so he took a thin The thread is tied to the window, far away, and the thread is hooked outside a small cup and covered by the ear.

The clear voice came to the ear along the thin wire.

"If you want me to say, go straight in, no matter what kind of god he is, can he still block the sword?" A rough voice said violently.

"No," a weak voice coughed and panted, "Yan Zi once saved me and the king. His combat power is terrifying and invincible. If you attack him rashly, you will suffer heavy casualties, and it will be easy for him to escape."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Li Zuoche, what do you think we should do?" The rough voice said violently.

"Treat him with courtesy, and tell him that Daiguo needs General Li Mu to defend against the Huns in the north," Li Zuoche said weakly, "The Huns have invaded our border several times, and Dai's land is hard to come by. Admonishment, let the Qin State relax its supervision on the general, and we will have a chance to rescue the general."

"You are so whimsical!" The rough voice said angrily, "He is the confidant of the King of Qin, how could he help us? If you ask me, just take him down and return General Li to the King of Qin is the right way! Having lived in that courtyard for many days, he is already familiar with the terrain, as long as you give an order, you can go in and capture him."

"What kind of person is the King of Qin, how could he let go of the general for a subject!" Li Zuoche said earnestly, "Now that the Yan Kingdom refuses to form an allied army to fight against Qin, and only retreats to Liaodong, this Yan Zi is the only chance for us to save .”

The people in the room started arguing again.

Yan Jiang was bored and felt pity, as if he saw a grasshopper after autumn, trying hard to live a few more days, but was ruthlessly run over by the wheel of fate.

In the end, the people in the room were divided into two factions, one group wanted to catch Yan Jiang, the other group strongly opposed it, and finally the group in favor filed out and rushed into the courtyard. Li Zuoche coughed in pain and ordered his attendant Cong to come He took it away, this place is not safe.

Then Yan Jiang saw a frail young man who was still dressed thickly in the summer, being carefully carried into a carriage by a strong man, and he went all the way away, not even knowing whether to chase him or not.

But thinking that Liu Ji and Youzhan must have fallen asleep, Yan Jiang first turned back to the courtyard wall, seized the time to use the darkness to kill those "good players" one by one, and then turned out of the house. He took the horses pulling the cart, took the equipment, and Fly forward.

Even under the guidance of His Majesty, he found a shortcut and blocked the only way for Li Zuo's carriage.

His Majesty landed on his shoulders, indicating that they would arrive in a while, Yan Jiang simply picked up the leaves, and played a casual tune in a low voice under the moonlight.

Finally, after playing a song, the sound of a carriage came and stopped slowly in front of him.

The big man driving the car suddenly drew his knife, as if he was about to rush over, but was stopped by a low voice from behind him.

The once rebellious young man seemed to have experienced countless winds and frosts, and his edges and corners were polished. His hair under the moonlight was mixed with gray, and his pale and weak face showed no fear of death, only a touch of relief.

"Are you here to take my life?" Li Zuoche sighed softly.

Yan Jiang didn't answer, he was also considering whether to kill or not.

But Li Zuoche seemed to have already got the answer, he said in a low voice: "It's just that before he died, Zuoche still had one thing that he didn't understand, and he kept it in his heart, thinking about it day and night, but couldn't answer it, sir, can you explain it to me?"

Yan Jiang was wondering if he wanted to ask why the state of Zhao perished, and should he use this opportunity to educate His Majesty to worry about the country and the people?

What a problem!

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Zuoche smiled wryly, and Yan Jiang listened to him and said directly: "Back then in Dai, I was young and impulsive and wanted to lure Jing Ke to kill you. When you questioned me, not only did I not admit my mistake, but I also resisted it. Keep testing your bottom line, death is not wronged..."

Yan Jiang thought to himself that this child has really grown up, it is useless to wake up, after all, under Qin, there is no stage of the Six Kingdoms.

"It's just that I have one thing that I can't let go of." He pursed his lips, as if mustering up all the courage in his life, and said sharply, "The day you hurt me, why...why did you kiss me?"

The faces of Yan Jiang and His Majesty changed drastically in an instant!
