Zhao is the king

Chapter 197 The King of Thinking 2

"Your Majesty, we have rested for a lot of time. Let's hurry up. In case we are caught up by the Qin army, we will lose all our previous achievements." Zhao Sui, who had been resting for a long time, forcibly supported his tired body and stood up and said to the sitting Xiong Huai.

Xiong Huai nodded and climbed up the old horse with the help of Zhao Sui. The two continued to face the block to the east and move forward slowly.

"Zhao Sui, we have walked all the way east through the river. Where will we go?" Xiong Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at the east in the distance and asked.

Zhao Sui replied; "I don't hate it clearly in my heart. If you cross the river, it should be the land in the east of the river. When I was in the State of Chu, I have seen the topographic map of Hedong drawn by Fang Shi. It used to be the land of the State of Wei, which was occupied by the State of Qin, and further north was Shangdang County of the State of Zhao. So after crossing the river, we may still be in the State of Qin, or the State of Zhao or Wei.

Xiong Huai nodded feebly and said, "If I can choose, I hope to go to the State of Zhao, but I don't want to go to the State of Wei."

Zhao Sui was surprised; "Why did the king say this? The State of Wei and our State of Chu have always been friends, and the State of Chu have been broken by Qin. After the two countries are even more dependent on each other. The State of Zhao and our State of Chu are not bordered. Since the death of Zhao Suhou, the Chu-Zhao alliance has been cut off. Moreover, even if you come to the State of Zhao, you have to use the State of Wei or South Korea to return to the State of Chu. Why does the king have to give up the distance?

Xiong Huai rarely showed a proud smile on his face and said, "You don't understand this. It depends on people, not the country. The State of Wei is indeed closer to our State of Chu, but the king of Wei is timid and afraid of Qin Ruhu. If we run to the State of Wei to defect to him, this guy may sell us under the pressure of the State of Qin.

"Zhao Guo is different. Do you know what kind of character Zhao Yong is?"

Zhao Sui hesitated for a moment and replied; "I have never seen King Zhao. I just heard that he is resolute, brave and resourceful, but he has been low-key all his life. He has been good with other countries and does not participate in the expeditions of the Central Plains."

Xiong Huai said with a smile, "You don't know all about this. I don't have any other skills, and I still have the ability to look at people. In the alliance of the kings of Xuzhou, I met Zhao Yong in his early twenties at that time. Anyway, the boy feels like a newborn tiger. His eyes are full of disgruity and ambition, but he still knows how to advance and retreat. I want to say that among the kings of the alliance in those years, I was most impressed by him.

Zhao Sui thought for a moment and nodded as if he agreed. "What the king said is that what the State of Zhao has done over the years, although he does not fight with other countries, he concentrates on attacking Zhongshan and Sanhu in the north, which has greatly increased the land. He also used the power of Qin and Wei to force the State of Qi to withdraw from the State of Yan, and even supported Ying Ji to ascend to the throne of Qin. It seemed that there was no leakage, but the State of Zhao became the biggest winner.

Xiong Huai and Zhao Sui have been detained by the State of Qin for more than three years. They are completely cut off from the news from the outside world. They don't know that Zhao Yong has been in the Zen position, let alone the destruction of Zhongshan and the Xin Palace of the Great Dynasty, otherwise I'm afraid they don't have to think too much about it.

Xiong Huai sighed; "So now I can see Zhao Yong clearly. He has tricks and means. If there is anyone in the world who is not afraid of the State of Qin, I can guarantee that it must be this boy. He even intervened in the abolition of the King of Qin, not to mention that he was afraid of the State of Qin because of the crime of hosting us. Although our State of Chu is not as good as before, it is also a great country with millions of fertile fields. If he wants to go to war with the State of Qin, our State of Chu will definitely be a great help.

Zhao Sui nodded and still led the horse forward. Looking back at Xiong Huai, there was something strange in his eyes. Thinking that he has endured humiliation and burdens in the past three years, the king has understood a lot of truth. He is no longer the greedy king of Chu in the past. If he can really return to the middle of the country to take charge of the government again, he may not be able to do anything new by relying on the strong foundation of the State of Chu.

But he has to reconsider the question, that is, in what kind of identity Xiong Huai will appear if he returns to the country. If it were the words of the king of Chu, how would the king of Chu bear on the throne now? But if it hadn't been for the words of the king of Chu, it wouldn't make sense. After all, he was detained by the State of Qin for the country and did not abdicate, and now the king of Chu is the prince when he reigned.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Sui still couldn't think of a clue, so she had to give up. I thought that the king had not escaped safely now, but I was thinking about the future. It was really ridiculous. I still focused on how to escape from the State of Qin.

The two of them went eastward all the way. Finally, they saw pity. Before sunset, they finally walked out of the wilderness and came to the edge of the river. The two cheered and jumped like children, rushed into the shallow water like crazy by the river, took a big sip of water, and had a full drink at one time.

After the ecstasy of rebirth after the disaster, the two had to face a very realistic problem, that is, how to get through the river in front of them has become a difficult problem in front of them.

At this moment, Xiong Huai really felt the mood of looking at the ocean and sighing. The two had to pack up and continue north along the river, hoping to meet fishermen by the river and take a boat to cross the river.

I have to say that the bear acacia is running, and my luck has become much better. I didn't go far along the river and I saw fishing boats fishing in the river. Zhao Sui waved his hand on the shore and shouted loudly. The fishermen on the boat noticed the two people on the shore and pushed the boat over to ask what was going on. When they learned that they were going to cross the river to the opposite side, they were willing to spend it. Zhao Sui had no choice but to ask the fishermen to promise to use the old horse ridden by Xiong Huai as a reward, and the two of them crossed the boat.

It was not easy to set foot on the land of Hedong. After asking the fishermen, the two were greatly disappointed, so at this time, the land under their feet still belongs to Xiyang County, Hexi County, Qin State. If you want to go to the State of Zhao, you need to continue to go north, and if you want to Wei and South Korea, you can go south.

After discussion, the two decided to go north to the State of Zhao. It's just that there is a lack of horses to walk. Xiong Huai, who has always been a good-bred, can't stand the pain of walking day and night. In less than three days, he fell ill and it was difficult to walk again. Zhao Sui had no choice but to place him in a safe place in the wild, and he ventured into Xiyang County.

Zhaosui found the horse city in Xiyang. When he saw that there were many people, he did not dare to come forward. He just wandered outside the horse city and dared to get closer when there were fewer people. In the State of Qin, the strategic resources of horses are also strictly controlled. Although the people are allowed to buy and sell, they are required to have a copy certificate issued by the government, otherwise they will be punished for felony. How dare you say anything when you come to Malaysia to buy a horse like Zhao Sui?

Zhao Sui wandered outside the door for a long time, but did not dare to enter the market to watch, just watching at the door. Such signs are very suspicious. When Zhao Sui was looking at the horse, he suddenly felt heavy on his shoulder. At the same time, he heard a thunderous roar behind him; "What are you doing in this sneaky way? Do you want to steal the old man's horse?"

Zhao Sui quickly turned around in shock, but he was a strong and black-faced man who was staring at himself fiercely. He is just a weak scribe. When did he see such a fierce person? He was so scared that his legs were weak, and he couldn't speak.

Although the big man saw that Zhao Sui's whole body was tattered, his expression and posture were not like ordinary people, like some poor scholars and doctors, not like those thieves who steal. Then his face was a little slower, and he still asked fiercely: "Sleep quickly, what do you want to pee at the uncle?"

Zhao Sui finally calmed down and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to buy horses, not stealing."

The big man heard him speak politely and was much more polite to his tone, but he still said suspiciously, "If you buy a horse and come in directly, why do you probe your head outside the door?"

Zhao Sui smiled bitterly and said, "Because I came in a hurry, I didn't ask the government to issue documents, so... I hope it's convenient." There are no more words here, just looking at the big man, his meaning is self-evident.

The big man's head shook like a broken wave, but refused to say; "Don't joke. In the State of Qin, you have to sell horses without documents, but you have to be punished. Although I am a horse dealer in the State of Zhao, I have to collect the rules here to do business in the State of Qin. I don't want to be disabled in order to earn a little money."

Ren Zhaosui begged in every way, but the big man just refused, and Zhaosui had no choice but to say, "strong man, I'm willing to exchange two bad horses with you with priceless treasures, how about that?"

"Priceless treasure." The big man looked up and down at the ragged Zhao Sui, and his face was full of disbelief. He said, "There is no priceless treasure like you. Show me."

Zhao Sui looked carefully left and right, then reached into his arms and took out a piece of jade pendant and spread it in the palm of his hand. Although the big man did not know jade, he also saw that the whole body of the jade pendant was crystal green, and the color was extremely soft, which was by no means a vulgar product. I was suddenly moved, thinking that I didn't know how many horses I had to sell to exchange for this treasure. It's a pity to miss it. Besides, he is from Zhao. He came to the State of Qin just to do business. Sooner or later, he will return to the State of Zhao. He is not so afraid of the harsh laws of the State of Qin. If he is careful, he will not be found.

After hesitating for a long time, the big man gritted his teeth and nodded, "Well, I took a risk, but you have to promise not to tell others that I sold my horse privately."

Zhao Sui looked at the big man with eager eyes and was very afraid. He was afraid that the big man would immediately turn around and escort him to the government. You should know that the harshness of Qin Lv has long penetrated into the hearts of the Qin people, and few people dare to offend, so he took out Xiong Huai's close jade,

Seeing that the big man Yingnuo smiled, he nodded quickly and said yes, and stuffed the jade pendant into his hand. The big man was also a kind man. He received a heavy gift and did not cheat. Instead, he led two fat and strong good horses to Zhao Sui. After that, Zhao Sui quickly claimed to thank him and left quickly to avoid long dreams at night.
