Chapter 209 Mountain Rain Is coming 2
"You mean you were completely in the dark the night before?"
A woman half squatted in the flowers, carefully pinched a mandala and put it in front of her nose, but frowned and asked.
I only saw Xu Yao's long hair and shawl, and her whole body was white. Her pretty face corresponded to the flowers, and she was even more beautiful than the flowers.
Tian Berely nodded solemnly and said, "It's true. I just got the news from An Yangjun in the morning. He only learned it yesterday, and he was not involved in this matter."
"This is not a good sign." Xu Yao slowly put down the flower in front of her nose and said softly.
"This shows that the master has done a lot of things by bypassing An Yangjun. You don't fully get his support. In other words, the master's control over the State of Zhao is still very strong, and he doesn't have to use you to charge for him."
Tian rudely shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "This is also helpless. Zhao Zhangkong has the title of An Yangjun, but his influence in the court is limited. Lou Fu and Wang Xu are just people sent by his father to wave the flag and shout for him, not his people. As for my seniority, my father doesn't trust me, and I learned many core things through Zhao Zhang.
"In this way, the master must have reached an agreement with the King of Zhao. Otherwise, he would have met each other in the army that night, but he would be at peace the next day. Isn't it strange?"
Tian Burie shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the details, but I'm sure it's just a sudden accident, not a premeditated, otherwise it won't be so hasty, and no one is ready to start."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Who said he was not ready? Do you know that the three camps in Pingyang, Lieren and Wuyang had been ordered by the Lord that night. Zhao Xi and others had gathered the army and waited for the order in place until noon on the next day. I think I must have got the order from my master, otherwise it is very likely to go north and besiege Handan.
Tian Bure didn't know about it. He couldn't help but look surprised when he heard it. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Yao and said, "You really know a lot about the State of Zhao. You even know such a private thing clearly. It seems that the State of Qi spends a lot of time on the State of Zhao."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "That's natural. As the most important neighboring country of Qi, how can we not pay more attention here? Naturally, there are many details in your army. The same is true of your State of Zhao, which must be the pervasive infiltration of our State of Qi. So Tian Xiang, you have your channel, and I also have my channel. In order to cooperate, it's better for us to be honest.
Tian Bure nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Today in the court, Zhao Zhang is very aggressive, which is what the master means. I guess Feiyi Zhaocheng and others will fight back soon, but it's hard to know where to start.
Xu Yao smiled confidently: "Tian Xiang is a fan of the authorities. Think about it, what is the Lord's biggest support now, that's where they want to do it."
Tian Bude hesitated and said, "You mean that the royal party wants to attack the military power."
"This is inevitable. If you can't control the army for a day, the royal party will not be too strong for a day. Even if they have the advantage in Handan, the subsequent army will threaten them.
However, Xu Yao couldn't help sighing gently and said, "It's a pity that the master's heart is not strong enough. Originally, this was the best opportunity for him to regain power. After all, he was still worried about the chaos in Zhao, otherwise the sky of the State of Zhao will change again. I'm afraid he will not have such an opportunity in the future. . "
"How do you say that?" Tian asked rudely.
"It's very simple." Xu Yao said leisurely, "Now every day, the royal party is stronger than the master and weaker. As expected, the royal party will definitely attack the army. At that time, with the name of kings and ministers and the identity of the king of Zhao, the master father will not be their opponent.
Although he was a little reluctant, Tian Bute still had to admit that his ideas and insights were indeed not as good as this woman,
He meditated for a long time and said, "I think it's better to ask you about this matter quickly. If Meng Changjun wants to help me win the power in the State of Zhao, he has to give me more support."
"This is natural." Xu Yao said with a smile.
"But has Tian Xiang ever thought that the more help Qi Guo gives you, the greater the return you need to return, and the more you will have to pay in the future."
Tian Buye looked at her suspiciously and said puzzled, "Isn't that what you want?"
Xu Yao was slightly relieved and smiled softly, "As a messenger of the king, I would like to see it myself, but as a private friend, I still remind Xiang Tian out of kindness."
"Friend." Tian Bure said with a hoarse smile.
"Miss Xu's words really flattered Tian. Although I don't know what you're thinking, I'm sure that you and Junshang are not completely the same. For example, the last time you assassinated Zhao Jian, and the relationship between you and the Mo family, I think Jun Shang doesn't know about it.
Xu Yao raised her eyebrows and sneered, "What, do you want to blackmail me with this?"
Tian Boue smiled and said, "Miss Xu misunderstood. These have nothing to do with Tian. Why should I be bored?"
The coldness on Xu Yao's face gradually faded, and she said with a smile, "It's better. But stand in the position of allies. I still remind Tian Xiang that he must integrate into it by himself, otherwise it is not a lasting strategy to rely solely on your support.
Tian rudely nodded and said, "The girl is reasonable. Tian will work hard."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Rich and dangerous. Only in troubled waters can there be a chance. If we sit idly by and ignore it, the Lord will only be weaker, the stronger the royal party will be, which is not in our interests.
"Since the master father refuses to fight and damage Zhao's national strength, let's help him and force Zhao's state to be in chaos."
Tian rudely said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"
"It depends on your means. If you can encourage Zhao Zhang to take risks and forcibly remove the King of Zhao by force. In this way, the master can only accept the fait accompli and appoint Zhao Zhang as the heir of the State of Zhao. Do you have the merit of supporting the Lord from the dragon? Are you afraid that Zhao Zhang will not listen to you?
"That's not necessarily the way."
Tian Burye is not a fool. He said warily, "The master has a strong temperament. If Zhao Zhang kills King Zhao, he will definitely not let Zhao Zhang go."
"Zhao Zhang and Zhao He are not the only two who know his son. Although the third son Zhao Sheng is young, it is not difficult to live for more than ten years according to his father's current body. At that time, Zhao Sheng had grown up and could take over the State of Zhao."
"The mind of Tian Xiang is really delicate."
Xu Yao laughed and said, "But at that time, the king of Zhao died, and Zhao Zhang had become a big trend. What can the master do? At that time, as long as the army of the State of Qi cooperates with the northern pressure to threaten the State of Zhao, and those who do not accept the royal party in the Zhao Dynasty will also rebel. At that time, the master father is not in the mood to deal with Zhao Zhang. I think nine out of ten will acquiesce to the facts.
"If you are more ruthless, Zhao Zhangda can take the opportunity to remove the master, won't it be more straightforward?" Speaking of this, a trace of sharpness flashed in Xu Yao's beautiful eyes.
Tian Bute clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You are very shrewd. Don't tell me that you came up with it all by yourself."
Xu Yao smiled and said, "Of course not. Although you are far away from Linzi, you have already seen the fire, and everything is under his control. Although the master is a generation of heroes, he is far from the opponent of the king when it comes to political strategy. The lost interests of the State of Qi on the battlefield can be recovered in political investment.
He turned his head and looked at the flowers again. After a long time, he said leisurely, "This State of Zhao is going to be chaotic after all."
"Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, the scenery of the Zhao family will come to an end after all."
At this time, Xianyang, which is thousands of miles away, is extremely depressed for Bai Rhe.
His hands were tied upside down behind his back, and he was tightly bound by ropes. He walked slowly on the street under the difficulty of killing Qin soldiers behind him, and on both sides of the street were excitedly surrounded by a group of Qin people watching the bustle.
According to Qin Law, important death row prisoners have to patrol the streets before beheading, so as to make an example for the execution. Bai Qi not only failed to hunt down Xiong Huai, but also disgracefully, he was disarmed by Zhao Jun without resistance, and handed over Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, who had already arrived. After the news reached Xianyang, the Empress Dowager Mi was furious and ordered all the soldiers below Quhou Baiqi who chased Xionghuai to Xianyang, and beheaded them again after the Mingzheng ~ Code.
Bai Qi originally thought that he was forced to return because of the situation. After coming back, he was at most demotion and punished, but he didn't expect that the empress dowager would kill herself and all her men in anger. As the main general, he will be beheaded after being visited by the public.
Naturally, he couldn't guess that the Empress Dowager Mi was originally the daughter of the patriarchal family of the State of Chu, but she was raided and exterminated because her father offended Xiong Huai's father, King Xuan. Because she was young, she escaped and was sent to the palace's miscellaneous library as a maidservant. After more than ten years, she married the king of Qin Hui at that time as a dowry maidservant of the princess of Chu. The tragic experience of childhood naturally made the Empress Dowager Mi hate the father and son of King Xuan of Chu to the bone, so she humiliated Xiong Huai, the king of Chu who was deceived to the State of Qin in every way. Bai Qi was also unlucky, and he was implicated in the anger of the Empress Dowager for no reason.
Looking at the Qin people who pointed to him by the street, Bai Qi couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing.
I have thought about countless endings, but I didn't expect to die in humiliation on the execution ground. Unfortunately, I was full of ambitions and finally paid off. If I had known that day, it would have been better to fight to the end. Even if I died under the bow and arrow of the Zhao people, it would be better than to die on the execution ground.
I looked around, but I couldn't see any hope. His whole body was tied to death. Even if Bai Qi was strong in martial arts, he was hopeless to escape. At present, he had to accept his fate and just walked forward mechanically with his head down. Suddenly, he pricked up his ears and faintly heard the sound of horses' hoofs coming.
Sure enough, at the end of the street, a team of knights are rushing to each other. When the first knight saw the team patrolling the street, he couldn't help frowning and shouted, "The Marquis is here, get out of the way quickly."
What the Hou Hou is talking about is Wei Ran, the popular prime minister in the State of Qin. Naturally, no one in Xianyang City knows it. The Qin soldiers who were blocked in the street got out of the way in a panic. Bai Qi was kicked on the ground because of his slow reaction and got a few whips.
His eyes were fascinated by the sand and dust raised by the horse's hoofs. Bai Qi couldn't help closing his eyes. He lay on his side on the ground and faintly rode past him. He was wearing a black robe in the middle. His appearance was very powerful. He thought it was Wei Ran, the Marquis.
A trace of desire to survive suddenly ignited in Bai Qi's heart. He suddenly struggled to stand up and shouted, "The State of Qin doesn't want to be the world? What is killing a strong man!"
This shout was shouted by Bai Qi with full strength, but it was extremely loud. Wei Ran, who was immediately, was also shocked by him. His body couldn't help shaking. He stopped the horse and looked back at Bai Qi standing with his head held high in surprise.
When Qin Bing, who was beside him, saw that Bai Qi had offended Rong Hou, he was so scared that he was scared. He hurriedly hit the whip that covered his face and whipped his face, and cursed in his mouth; "Shut your dog's mouth and then shout to kill you now."
Bai Qi did not hide, but looked up at the whip head-on and sneered.
" Stop it." Wei Ran finally said something to stop him. He greeted him and looked at Bai Qi with condescending interest. Seeing his tiger's back and waist, his appearance was extremely powerful. Although he was tied to his body, he looked calm. Wei Ran, who liked warriors, couldn't help but have a good impression on him.
"What's your name and what's the matter?"
Bai Qi said loudly, "Bai Qi, the Marquis of humble position, chased Xiong Huai, the king of Chu, to Zhao Jing more than ten days ago. He was forced to withdraw by the army of the State of Zhao, so he committed a crime of death."
Wei Ran was stunned, and even though he remembered it, it happened. He is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Mi. Naturally, he knows why his sister blames these people so much. Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, he can't help but feel some sympathy. He stared at Bai Qi's eyes and said slowly, "Why did you say that just now?"
Bai Qi looked up at him and looked at him without any fear. He said, "Since I started my business in the Qin Dynasty, I have been raising my troops to the east for hundreds of years, and I am even more thirsty for the talents of the generals in the world. Today's hegemony has not been achieved, but he wants to kill the strong man for no reason. What's the reason?
"So what ability do you have?"
"The courage is great, and it is better than others, and it is better than attacking."
Wei Ran sneered and said, "What a big tone. So you think you are a general."
Bai Qi said proudly, "If you don't believe it, you can have a try."
Wei Ran saw that Bai Qi's appearance was strange and his words were extraordinary, and he really looked like a person with some ability. I couldn't help but have a little interest in my heart. After thinking about it, I waved my hand to Qin Pawn and ordered: "Let's put him in prison for trial first, and I'll make a conclusion after I find out this matter." After saying that, he didn't wait for Qin to respond. He turned the horse's head and waved the whip and left.
When the words fell, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and his legs couldn't help but feel soft and almost fell. But he knew in his heart that his little life was finally saved.
