The sun was shining brightly the next morning. After breakfast, Cheng Qiao leisurely drank tea in the garden, lying on the lounge chair, enjoying the rare sunshine in winter like an old man.
Since Cheng Qiao did not hold a position in the official system of the Qin State, even though he had a title, Cheng Qiao was too lazy to go to court. If he had any matters, he would communicate directly with Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng, and Lu Buwei.
It is not a pleasure to go to court in the cold wind early in the morning. You can go to court, but it is not necessary.
"Your Majesty, please hide the sun and ask for an audience."
"Let him in." Cheng Qiao said lazily with his eyes closed.
"Here."
Soon, Zhanri came to Chengqiao's side, bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Well, take a seat. Do you have anything important to do with me so early?"
Cheng Qiao nodded slightly, but still didn't open his eyes, lazily.
"There is news from Weiguo."
"Oh?" Cheng Qiao opened his eyes immediately after hearing this, "Have you found the person?'
Zhanri said with some embarrassment: "No, the people below have searched PY City and the surrounding areas, but they still haven't found the woman that the Lord mentioned."
Cheng Qiao: "..."
Cheng Qiao was speechless, frowned, and said coldly: "If you don't find it, then keep looking until you find it. Why would you bother me with this nonsense?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Seeing that Cheng Qiao was not happy, Zhan Ri stood up quickly and said with some fear: "My subordinates think that searching for him like this is not the way to go. Why not just capture Gongsun Yu and question him?"
Capture Gongsun Yu?
Cheng Qiao's expression softened after hearing this, he raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling Zhan Ri to sit down and talk. Zhan Ri was relieved when he saw this.
"You have a point."
"The people below are too straight-minded. They should have reported it long ago after searching for so long without finding it. I've been delaying it for so long. I'm afraid something will happen."
Since Gongsun Li and Jing Ke did not live with Gongsun Yu, they might be living alone in some corner or traveling around the world. This lonely man and widowed...
Is it really impossible to prevent the birth of Tianming?
"Your Majesty is right, the people below are sometimes too stupid."
As for Cheng Qiao's views, Zhi Ri deeply agrees. Sometimes the people below really don't know how to adapt.
"Although Weiguo is a small country and does not even have much autonomy, Gongsun Yu, the general of Weiguo, should be more or less real and should not be underestimated."
Gongsun Yu was able to train a master like Jing Ke, so his martial arts skills would not be much different.
"I remember that several famous masters in the world were included in the net, and it seems that they were also awarded the chance to find famous swords, right?"
After years of collecting in the net, all the Eight Swords of the King of Yue have been collected, and the gods of chaos have also been found in the net.
"Your Majesty has a really good memory. It's true. Zhen Gang, Duan Shui, Monster, Zhuan Po, Destroying Soul and Chaotic God all have corresponding masters."
"Although these martial arts masters have not yet reached the first-class Tianzi level, they have basically crossed the threshold of the Tianzi-level. As long as they undergo more training and experience, they are all very likely to reach the first-class Tianzi level."
Zhanri explained happily.
Can you be unhappy?
There are so many capable subordinates, and they are basically all subordinates who can act alone. They are more than a few of the top experts in Luowang.
In the future, managers like them will no longer have to be so busy. They must not only manage, but also personally participate in assassinations.
Cheng Qiao secretly estimated Gongsun Yu's strength in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Let Zhen Gang, Duanshui, and Zhenji go out and catch Gongsun Yu and interrogate him about his granddaughter Gongsun Li's whereabouts."
"If the other party doesn't tell me, don't kill him, but spread the news to attract Gongsun Li."
"Here."
Zhanri didn't know that Gongsun Li was the woman that Ying Zheng liked, but thought that Gongsun Li was the woman that Cheng Qiao liked.
Although there is a misunderstanding, it is better this way. When one's life is under control, it is obvious that hiding the sun is more loyal to Qiao.
Cheng Qiao was well aware of the misunderstanding about the occultation of the sun, but he had no intention of explaining it. If he explained it, it would easily lead to unnecessary details.
"Wait a moment and let the god of chaos follow."
Cheng Qiao suddenly thought of Jing Ke, a master. If Jing Ke still had helpers, it seemed not safe. He must help him get the white moonlight in Brother Wang's heart. There was no room for error. Other tasks could be put aside for the time being.
"Here."
Although Zhanri thought that Cheng Qiao was going too far and started fighting, Zhen Gang and others were all well-known masters in the world. Even Gongsun Yu might not be able to win in a one-on-one fight, but he would not be stupid enough to refute Cheng Qiao's orders.
.
Forget it, as long as your Majesty is happy, that's fine, but the level of attention that Gongsun Li's woman receives is really beyond expectations.
"By the way, Hidden Sun, I have some bad news to tell you."
"What bad things can happen with your status as a king?"
After following Cheng Qiao for a long time, Zhan Ri gradually became more casual when he spoke, half as a compliment and half as a joke.
"The bad news has little impact on me, but it has a big impact on you."
Zhanri suppressed his smile when he heard the words, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart, and he said cautiously: "May I ask your Majesty what is going on?"
"I went to see my mother yesterday. Although my mother compromised and gave me an additional 3,000 households, I still pay more attention to the role of the snare."
"We have decided to arrange for Zhao Gaolai, the chief chamberlain around us, to serve as the deputy leader. He should take up his post in the next few days."
Zhenri's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and he felt very unhappy.
Originally, he had great power in Luowang and had only one immediate boss. Zhong Qian on the other side of Luowang had a slightly higher status because he was Cheng Qiao's personal servant, but he could not reach out to Tianluo.
Although he still has two deputies, Jingshao has always been indifferent, while Xuanjian is in charge, but he still takes the dominant position. Now that there is a direct boss suddenly appearing above him, it feels really bad.
I really want to kill that bastard Zhao Gao. Why don't I just be your chamberlain?
Why do you have to come and grab food from his bowl?
He deserves to be cut off from his descendants!
It's a pity that we can't cover up the sun. The other party is the chamberlain around the Empress Dowager. The consequences of killing him directly would be too serious, unless...
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Zhanri looked at Chengqiao, carefully observed Chengqiao's expression, and said cautiously.
As long as your superior supports him, he can ignore the other party, or even kill the other party, he dares!
"Well, after all, we are the people around our mother."
"It's not good for me to take the initiative to punish him. It's a small thing to be embarrassed by him, but it's a big thing to be embarrassed by my mother. I just made my mother unhappy."
Zhanri's heart froze when he heard this.
"Let's do this. If the other party understands the situation and doesn't act recklessly, you should cooperate with him, so you should cooperate with him."
"If the other party is ignorant, breaks the rules, makes mistakes, etc., then you can do whatever you want. I will make the decision for you."
Zhan Ri was overjoyed when he heard this, and was already thinking about how to give Zhao Gao a show of strength and set a trap for Zhao Gao.
"My subordinate understands."
"Any thing else?"
"No, I can take care of some small things for you. There is no need to trouble your Majesty."
"Then go."
"Here."
When the sun set and left, Cheng Qiao smiled slightly, hummed a tune, closed his eyes and began to enjoy the warm sunshine in winter again.
Zhao Gao, I have agreed to let you become the deputy leader of Luo Wang, but it depends on you whether you can gain a firm foothold.
If you can't gain a firm foothold, you will be trained as a killer in the future and become a deputy leader in name only. Only if you can gain a firm foothold will you be eligible to enjoy the blessings of 996.
Mother, don't blame your son for throwing the blame on your head. With your status and power, you don't care about this anyway. Just treat it as one of the rewards for your son to keep it secret for you.
Regarding Zhao Gao, Cheng Qiao had no intention of telling his subordinates that it was his condition. Zhao Gao took the initiative to invite, not that he couldn't, but that he wouldn't.
Although he can decide the life and death of Zhan Ri and Zhong Qian with a single word and does not worry about resentment, but if he is honest, it will easily affect the mentality of the two of them. After all, no one likes to have an uncle suddenly looking after them.
Mentality is very important, it affects the enthusiasm and efficiency of work, and simply transfers conflicts. It is also a good opportunity to hone Zhao Gao and kill two birds with one stone.
