The capital of Zhao State, Yanping City.

Qian Ling'er was seriously ill and fell into a coma. Famous doctors from all over the country failed to treat him, but miraculously recovered in the end. Later, Xing Hou Tao De fell ill.

When Zhao Wangyi heard about it, he was very anxious. He personally led the palace doctor to visit him.

Xinghou Mansion, inside Tao De's bedroom.

Tao De was sitting on the bed, his face was pale and very weak, but his expression was extremely respectful. This was because the king of Zhao State, Zhao Yi, was sitting next to him!

Seeing the imperial physician aside, who was retracting his finger to check the pulse, with a thoughtful look on his face, King Zhao hurriedly asked: "How is Tao Aiqing's health? What disease does he suffer from?"

The imperial physician was an old man with a gray beard. Hearing the king's inquiry, he quickly put down his withered hand stroking his beard and saluted: "Return to my king, Xinghou's qi and blood are thick and the essence is leaking. This is a symptom of physical weakness and the invasion of external evils.

. Come to think of it, Xinghou is not a general. He fights for the country in the front and works hard in the army, so there are hidden dangers. In addition, he has had very little rest recently, and he is mentally stressed and has no rest, which is why he is suffering from today's illness."

Seeing that King Zhao still looked worried, the old doctor continued: "Don't worry, my king, I will prescribe a prescription for nourishing qi and blood, rest and recuperate for a few days, and Xinghou will be cured."

"Huh~!" King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a little peace of mind: "That's good, that's good! Imperial Physician Hua, Tao Aiqing is ill, and Mrs. Wen Qinghou is weak, so you can stay in Xinghou Mansion

Bar."

Doctor Hua looked at the weak Xinghou and quickly agreed.

Tao De, who was on the bed, was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he looked grateful and hurriedly admonished: "My king, how can a humble minister accept such a favor? Absolutely not!"

King Zhao stretched out his hand to stop him, smiled and comforted him, then turned to look at the old eunuch Wang Jien behind him, and ordered: "Jien, please go with Imperial Physician Hua to prepare the medicinal soup."

Wang Jien understood this and led the old doctor out of the dormitory, not forgetting to gently close the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zhao Wangyi's smiling expression slowly showed a hint of hesitation.

Tao De saw that King Zhao had a strange look on his face. How could he not know that King Zhao had something to ask about, so he asked, "What troubles does my king have? Can you tell me about it?"

King Zhao looked at Tao De and said following the trend: "Actually, it is not a worry. Ai Qing previously surrounded and annihilated 100,000 elite wolf cavalry of the Yan army for my king, regained the lost southern barrier of Tianzhiqiao, and even captured the northern barrier in one fell swoop!

The gates of the Northern Yan Kingdom are wide open, the military strength is damaged, the country is poor and the people are tired, there is hope for us, Zhao, to unify the north and the south."

Hearing this, Tao De immediately became solemn and said, "I will punish you as a minor minister for the death penalty!"

Hearing Tao De's words, King Zhao smiled and asked, "What's your crime?"

Tao De tried his best to salute and blamed himself: "The guilty minister, without the emperor's order, killed the Yan army's 30,000 surrendered soldiers without orders; commanded the army to attack the two barriers of Tianzhiqiao without orders; abandoned the military and state affairs due to personal affairs, please transfer

I am returning to my hometown to visit my doctor. Each of these three crimes is a capital crime. The guilty minister asks my king to punish me as a warning to the world."

King Zhao just stared at Tao De quietly, who was bowing his head to plead guilty. There was silence in the room. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said: "My dear, your words are serious. Although I am not as virtuous as my ancestors, I am not stupid.

Lord, I have given you the arbitrary power to fight the war in the north, so you are not guilty of this. Furthermore, please adjust the matter of returning to the capital. It is human nature, what is the crime? My dear, just rest in peace and recuperate, I still hope that you will recover.

, how about opening up territory for the few?"

Tao De immediately burst into tears and saluted gratefully: "My king is so kind, and I can't repay him for being so cruel. I will defeat Beiyan for my king and help him unify the world."

"Okay!" King Longyan of Zhao was delighted, but within a moment, he frowned and said, "It's just that the envoy from Beiyan came yesterday to hand over his credentials. He is willing to pay tribute to our great Zhao with one hundred thousand war horses... I have two intentions.

The country is in good repair. If we, Zhao, have no intention of making peace, Beiyan will raise an army that will overwhelm the country and fight me to the death!"

"What?" Tao De was suddenly startled when he heard this, and asked: "My king, what do you think?"

King Zhao hesitated and said: "Among the hundreds of officials, many ministers think that peace is the best policy. After all, the country of Northern Yan is a country of tigers and wolves, and the people are fierce. If they are not convinced by our southerner Wang Hua, it will be difficult to win their hearts for a while. But

I am slowly trying to figure it out. But if there is peace, I will not be willing to accept it. I don’t know whether the world will be unified in my lifetime. So I came here this time, firstly to visit Aiqing, and secondly to ask Aiqing what is going on in the north.

for?"

Seeing King Zhao's hesitation, Tao De thought for a moment and said, "My king, do you still remember what the king asked me during the imperial examination and what my answer was?"

King Zhao didn't see Tao De talking about Bei Yan, but instead talked about the past, and then nodded doubtfully.

Tao De saw it and recalled: "During the palace examination, I said that Northern Yan will prosper greatly. If my king agrees to reconcile the two countries, the Yan State will be prosperous."

"Yes?" King Zhao said in surprise: "My dear, Beiyan has made peace with me, and promised to pay tribute every year, almost surrendering. How can the situation of great prosperity come from the decline of one thing and the growth of the other?"

As soon as these words came out, Tao De had already expected it, and he said with the same expression: "Your Majesty, the people of Northern Yan are in a remote area and the customs are fierce, and the country is ruled by force, how can it be long-term peace and stability? When did Northern Yan ever seek peace or pay tribute?

?But this time, Beiyan has awakened after such a great defeat! He knows how to endure humiliation and bear the burden, and understands the serious dangers of being uneducated and pro-military! The strength of a tiger is especially afraid of being hunted; the edge of a steel knife is especially easy to break; but if it is a steel knife, it will be broken.

If you are tempered and tough, able to bend and stretch, you can dance like a brilliance and be invincible. If today's Beiyan works hard and follows the example of Zhao, soon... it will no longer be the barbarian country it was in the past."

Tao De's words were echoing in King Zhao's heart at this moment. In a trance, King Zhao seemed to understand something. This minister sitting in front of him had a far-sighted vision and unique insights. It can be said that no civil and military officials in the dynasty could do it.

And! This is exactly the pillar he has always longed for. But, for some reason, at this moment, King Zhao felt a hint of fear in his heart!

Putting aside this inexplicable feeling, King Zhao tried to say: "Then the intention of loving you is to fight?"

"No! It's peace." Tao De immediately denied it, and then looked at the puzzled King Zhao and explained: "My king, in the battle between great powers, whether it is peace or not, it is a temporary strategy. My king wants to

If you want to unify the world, I think you should focus on the trend and act according to the trend, then you can determine the world."

"What is momentum?" Hearing Tao De's words, King Zhao hurriedly asked.

Seeing this, Tao De said with emotion: "I also learned from my junior brother's words in the imperial examination."

Hearing Tao De talk about Luo Yu, King Zhao suddenly thought of what Luo Yu said during the palace examination. Seeing this, he listened even more carefully.

I saw Tao De continue to say: "...Our great Zhao has become powerful and prosperous, but it lacks the power to spread its wings and the people."

"Hehe?" King Zhao was even more puzzled when he heard this: "I, the people of Zhao, have enough food and clothing, and live a stable life, how can there be no one who can make peace?"

Tao De waved his hand and said with a smile: "The people I am referring to are not the people of Zhao, but the people of the north. If my king wants to be the master of the world, he will naturally regard the people of Yan as his own people.

"

King Zhao thought thoughtfully: "The people of Yan are also my people?"

"Yes!" Tao De affirmed: "My king not only wants to make peace, but also to open mutual markets, organize merchants to go deep into Yan land to provide food and clothing to the people, open schools to promote Wang Hua, and the richness of Zhao land. Beiyan is barren and cold, so I, the king, should

Encourage production and attract the people of Yan to join Zhao... In this way, in less than ten years, our country, Zhao, has become increasingly powerful. While Northern Yan seems to be prosperous, in fact, the number of anti-Zhao people is increasing. Once this trend is achieved, we will be

When the king comes to the world."

"Okay! Good! Great kindness!" King Zhao clapped his hands and stood up. When his mood calmed down a little, he looked at the tired Tao De in front of him and said with concern: "I love you, you are sick and you have to work hard for the country. It's my fault.

Also, I have written down what I said about my love for you, Jin Shi, and I will definitely implement it as a national policy."

When Tao De heard this, he was extremely grateful.

King Zhao left, leaving Imperial Physician Hua and two pretty palace ladies to take care of him.

...

The night is deep.

Listening to the footsteps slowly disappearing, Todd slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the closed door, and then laughed to himself: "The heart of a king!"

He knew that the old lady doctor Hua and the two maids given to him were the grace of King Zhao and the eyes of the king. This was the reason why he advocated peace. Because once the war started, he would go to the battlefield in person.

If he adds more meritorious deeds, King Zhao will be even more wary, which will bring many disadvantages to him... Now that he supports the peace negotiation, King Zhao should stop being jealous. However, with these three people here, from now on,

He will be honest with King Zhao, otherwise...

"Your king, I doubt you~." Suddenly! A cold strange laughter sounded in the silent bedroom! Then a trace of heavy black clouds floated out, forming a blurry cloud figure!

The figure stood on the side of the bed, quietly looking at Todd, who seemed to be in a sleepy state at the moment.

Seeing that Tao De ignored him, Lord Mo Ling floated to the opposite side of the bed and asked: "I can help you make that old man and those two women disappear."

"Hmph!" Tao De suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lord Mo Ling, and said disdainfully: "Stop your good-natured manner and stop pretending to be stupid in front of me! Do you want me to despise you? So you think you can use it to your advantage?

You? Cooperate with you? Let you out? Dream!"

Seeing that Tao De saw through his mind, Lord Mo Ling was not angry, but said excitedly: "Too De, you are so smart. I really did not misjudge you. No wonder Bai Di, that old fox, chose you to inherit his inheritance.

But I don’t understand why you chose to believe that old fox Bai Di but not me?”

Todd listened quietly to Venerable Mo Ling's 'speech'. After he finished speaking, he sarcastically said: "Because you are a devil, and you are the old fox."

Hearing this, Venerable Mo Ling seemed to sigh sadly.

Seeing this, Todd asked impatiently: "Tell me, what are you going to do when you waste your demon soul? Don't tell me, you are just telling these jokes to make me laugh. If that is the case, then I will tell you, you

The purpose was achieved.”

As he said that, Tao De grinned silently. When Lord Mo Ling saw it, he also started laughing along with Jie Jie. When Tao De's face slowly turned cold, he stopped laughing and floated back to the side road.

: "Todd, you wrongly blamed me. I care about you."

Seeing Tao De looking at him expressionlessly, the white light flashed in his slowly raised palm, and a small stone appeared! Venerable Mo Ling quickly waved his hand and said: "Tao De, you have sacrificed your longevity to save Qian Ling.

Son, it’s just a drop in the bucket, is it worth it? You clearly know that as long as she practices the art of Heavenly Spirit, she will be fine. But you don’t let her practice because you are afraid that after she practices, the goddess of the Heavenly Spirit tribe will sense her!

In fact, you don’t have to do this. Believe me, as long as you let me out, after I recover my strength, it will be easy to save her. Then...!"

Before Venerable Mo Ling could finish speaking, Tao De made his hand seals, moved Fang Cun Mountain in his palm, and said in a deep voice: "Then what? Then you can counterattack me? Then you can harm the world? Don't bewitch me.

Hou, get back to Fangcun Mountain!"

As he spoke, the handprints in Tao De's hands were revealed, white fluorescence flashed, and Fangcun Mountain instantly grew larger, covering the Lord Mo Ling!

Lord Mo Ling immediately roared: "Toad, you can't do this to me! Without my power, the Heavenly Girl of the Tianling Tribe will find this one day, and you alone can't defeat the Tianling Tribe! Not only that.

, they will also take away the inheritance of Bai Emperor...!"

"Buzz~!" Fangcun Mountain trembled for a while, suppressed, and the room returned to calm.

Looking at the Fangcun Mountain that has returned to my hand and is slowly getting smaller until it disappears.

Tao De clenched his fists and said to himself in a deep voice: "You are just afraid that Fang Cunshan will return to the Tianling Clan and never have a chance to be free. Why bother pretending to be a good person? Even if I, Tao De, lose my cultivation and Fangcun Mountain, I will not

I will let you out of the mountain and cause harm to the world!"

Although Todd was very weak at this time, his words were still sonorous and powerful!

Todd knew that what the Lord Mo Ling said was true, but he couldn't do it. Because no one could understand the terror of the Lord Mo Ling better than him. Once the Lord Mo Ling was released and his strength recovered, then

It will be a catastrophe brought to the continent by God! He can't do it, let alone dare not do it! He would rather lose his longevity to save Qian Ling'er's life than be a sinner in the mountains and seas...
