Long Bing'er heard Xu Qing's words and asked, "What? Are you planning to arrest me to your government?"
Xu Qing said: "That's not the case. I also broke into people's houses for you. Not only did I break into people's houses, I also beat them up. If I turned you in, I would be in trouble."
When Long Bing'er heard Xu Qing's words, she raised her eyebrows and seemed a little surprised. Xu Qing continued: "The salary paid to officials by the Zhao State is almost the highest in the world, right? Are you going to steal things to survive? Tell me.
Reason, otherwise we would have gone to jail even if we had just broken into a private house, injured the owner without any reason and fled in fear of crime."
Long Bing'er said: "Shall we go back and talk?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back and talk slowly."
…
Ming family
Ming Qi and Ming Liu ran over and looked at Ming Xun, who had gauze wrapped around his hand, and nervously said in unison: "Father, who did this?!"
Ming Xun waved his hand and said: "There are two assassins. One of them is a woman whose face is covered and it's hard to see who he is. The other one... can actually control thunder and fire. It's really terrifying! If my father hadn't been able to hide quickly, this hand would have
I’m afraid it will be useless.”
Ming Qi said: "Father, what are the identities of those people?"
A trace of solemnity flashed in Ming Xun's eyes, and he said: "Perhaps Song Ding already knows that we are here. It seems that the next action must be accelerated. By the way, don't let Zhou'er know about this."
Ming Liu nodded, cupped his fists and said, "Yes."
Song Ding is the name of the Emperor of Zhao State, and few people in the world casually say that the Emperor is nothing.
Of course, no one would say that the emperor is nothing.
So the question arises: Is the emperor a thing?
This has always been a very contradictory issue.
After Ming Liu retreated, Ming Qi looked at Ming Xun and said, "What about the martial arts conference in three days?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said: "My right hand is just a little bruised, it's not a problem. Those old guys from the Poisonous Scorpion Gate and the Iron Armor Gate are not my father's opponents yet."

Taoyuan Inn
Long Bing'er looked at Xu Qing standing in the room and pointed to the chair opposite her: "Sit down."
Xu Qing nodded, looked at Long Bing'er and said, "Tell me, you went to Ming's house with nothing to do just to steal a piece of jade?"
Long Bing'er was silent for a moment and said, "It's the court's intention."
"What does the court mean?" Xu Qing asked: "Using Zhao's court to deal with Chu's family? Your Zhao emperor is very lenient..."
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "The Ming family was not a family of the Chu State at the beginning. Their identity in the Chu State was forged."
Xu was surprised and said: "They are not from Chu country?"
Long Bing'er nodded and said: "The head of the Ming family, Ming Xun, is Song Xun, the Ming king during the reign of the first emperor of the Zhao Kingdom."
Xu Qing couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Song Xun?!"
Long Bing'er nodded and said: "Yes, King Ming was a martial arts wizard who was born in the Zhao Kingdom. He was proficient in martial arts and knew the art of war. He once visited the capital of your Chu Kingdom and proposed a martial arts competition, which ended in a draw.
"
Xu Qing said: "I guess I haven't fought against the wise king."
Long Bing'er nodded and said: "At that time, King Xian was away in the capital on a campaign. King Ming was fighting against Liu Chong, the then Zhonglang of Zuolong Wuwei."
Xu Qing asked in confusion: "He is proficient in martial arts and knows the art of war? Then why is he not the emperor?"
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "King Ming is too stubborn in martial arts, he doesn't know how to deal with the world, and he doesn't know how to win over courtiers. Although he had friendships with many generals at that time, the situation in Zhao State... you
knew……"
Xu Qing nodded to express his understanding. The State of Zhao used civil servants to restrain military generals. The status of military generals was naturally lower than that of civil servants. It was a daydream to win over military generals to the throne...
Long Bing'er said: "King Ming, who failed to seize the throne, was afraid of being liquidated by His Majesty, so he escaped from the capital under the cover of some military generals, and has since been hiding in the vast rivers and lakes. It was only a while ago that the traces of King Ming were found. It turns out that he has never
He has been traveling far away and has been accumulating strength in the place closest to Zhao State in an attempt to overthrow the court."
Xu Qing suddenly realized: "So that's it, but this Ming Wang has been tempered by the years and knows better tolerance and worldliness than when he took the throne. He can still think of using the power of the world to hold a martial arts competition."
Long Bing'er continued: "His Majesty asked me to come here this time to steal the contract documents between King Ming and various generals of the Zhao Kingdom, but... I failed tonight."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and said sincerely: "If you ask me to tell you that your Emperor Zhao is really not that good, it would be better to replace him with this Prince Ming. At least he still knows how to value generals."
Long Bing'er glared at Xu Qing and snorted: "What do you need to say?"
This time it was Xu Qing's turn to be surprised: "Do you know what other documents you helped steal? Just persuade your father to join forces with him."
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "No, His Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years and has become the royal family's orthodoxy. Prince Ming is just a rebel. Moreover, the southwest border is not peaceful now. The Zhao Kingdom seems to be rich, but in fact it is already suffering from internal and external troubles.
"
"Foreign trouble?" Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and asked doubtfully: "Is there another movement among the alien tribes in the southwest? You spend so much money every year and end up raising a white-eyed wolf?"
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Long Bing'er sighed and continued: "If King Ming really mobilizes the generals who secretly submitted to him to launch a rebellion, my father and the army under his control will inevitably be transferred back to the country to put down the rebellion. At that time,
, the southwest border is unguarded, and the foreign races that have been ready to move can march straight in."
"Emphasizing culture and suppressing military force has been implemented since the time of Emperor Taizu. Zhao State's prejudice against generals cannot be reversed by changing emperors."
Xu Qing listened to Long Bing'er's words with a look of surprise on his face. Why is the silly girl so smart at this time? What he said is very clear.
Long Bing'er felt that Xu Qing was looking at her in surprise, so she rolled her eyes at him, and then said: "Besides, Prince Ming will never succeed."
Xu Qing was surprised and said: "You look down on King Ming so much? Didn't you say that he is proficient in the art of war and martial arts? Is he still no match for that idiot on the throne?"
Long Bing'er, who knew that the emperor of his country was indeed a fool, did not refute Xu Qing's words. He just said: "Those generals who can't mobilize many troops to surrender even if they secretly collude with King Ming, in Zhao State, except for my father, the rest of the people
The military power is extremely scattered. Without His Majesty's Tiger Talisman, the number of troops they can take away is pitifully small. As long as they put effort into suppressing it, they will be able to suppress it sooner or later. However, the foreign tribes are watching with eager eyes. At this time, the Zhao State will have civil strife again, which may be a disaster for the Zhao State.
A huge disaster.”
Xu Qing said: "Are you afraid that there will be chaos in the Zhao Kingdom and that the alien tribes from the southwest will march straight into the Central Plains?"
Long Bing'er nodded: "The land of the Central Plains does not tolerate invasion by foreign races, but King Ming's actions have become the biggest variable, a variable that can lead to the fall of the Zhao Kingdom."
