Chapter 26

Butler Mo nodded and said, "Yes! And the shops he currently rents only account for less than one-tenth of the entire restaurant. If he separates all the rooms inside and rents them out, it should be worth tens of thousands of taels of taels in a year!"

Ling Yangjun turned his head and looked at Butler Mo, tilted his head and said, "This is the business he wants to do? I rent the house to him, and he rented it to someone else, and then he ate the big head, but I ate the small head instead. Now it sounds like a beggar now, and I will give it a little money and get it away?"

Butler Mo said, "Young Master regrets it?"

Ling Yangjun said angrily: "I'm not stupid, I regret it. I can't rent it myself. I have to bother him to help him rent it out. Moreover, this matter is particularly embarrassing. If outsiders know that I rent it to him for 10,000 taels, he will rent it for tens of thousands of taels, or even one hundred thousand taels, so that he will laugh out loud?"

Butler Mo said, "Since the young master regrets, he can break the contract!"

Ling Yangjun glared at him and said, "How can I break the contract in black and white? If this matter is big, I will be even more embarrassed. After all, I am also a famous person from the seven countries. I can't do anything to cheat!"

Mr. Mo said, "Will the young master be willing to get ten thousand taels of rent a year?"

Ling Yangjun said: "What if you are unwilling to give up? You have to keep this matter secret for me. Don't let anyone know that I rented it to the Qin prostitute. I guess the Qin prostitute is now secretly laughing at me! Thinking about it now, he cheated a restaurant in a few words. It's such a shame and humiliation."

Butler Mo said, "Then the young master will not ask about it anymore?"

Ling Yangjun said: "Continue to pay attention to me, let me see what good chess is there to move under him?"

Butler Mo said: "What if he still divides the remaining rooms below and rents them out?"

Ling Yangjun said: "Then I will definitely be angry to death by him!"

As he was speaking, a servant came to report to him outside the house: "I have reported to you, Lord, I have come to the palace to come and see the saint!"

Ling Yangjun was stunned and said, "What are you looking for me now?"

He replied outside the door: "I don't know!"

Mr. Mo said: "I heard that Qin sent a delegation to come today, which should be related to this matter!"

Ling Yangjun took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "It should be almost the same!" He said to the outsider again: "Prepare the horse!"

There was a reply outside the door.

After all, Lingyang Jun was a ninth-level master, and he didn't even bring a guard. He rode a horse alone and went to the palace.

Lingyang Jun was noble in Qi State and did not dismount at the palace gate. He rode directly into the palace. He only dismounted when he arrived in front of Xuande Hall and walked to the imperial study room. The father-in-law who was sending the order said that the King of Qi was waiting for him in the imperial study room.

It was just dark now. Although Linzi City was still extremely noisy, the palace was extremely quiet and the footsteps were heard so far away. After all, Lingyang Jun grew up in the palace, so he was familiar with the road and did not need anyone to lead the way. He went directly to the imperial study room.

The King of Qi was sitting at the desk watching the memorial when he heard that Ling Yangjun had arrived outside the door and hurriedly asked the eunuch to come in.

When the Lord Lingyang entered the door and performed the rituals of the king and the ministers, the King of Qi asked him to sit down on the chair next to him.

Ling Yangjun asked, "I wonder what happened to Brother Wang summon me to come late at night?"

Although King Qi is also a ninth-level master and is a brother to him, from the outside, the temperament of both of them is different at all. King Qi is a little older, with a thick beard several inches long on his jaw. Because he has been with people for a long time, he is powerful without anger. Ordinary people dare not look directly at him when they see him.

The King of Qi put down the memorial at this time and looked at Ling Yangjun and said, "Although I live in the palace, I can still see the sky. Is it already late at night?"

Ling Yangjun smiled and said, "It's my brother who uses inappropriate words! Please forgive me, Brother Wang!"

King Qi said: "Today, Qin sent a delegation to come here, do you know?"

Lingyang Jun said: "I heard a little! I don't know what happened to the Qin delegation?"

King Qi said: "Please propose to you!"

Ling Yangjun was stunned and said, "Please propose marriage? Which young man from Qin has liked which princess in our country?"

The King of Qi said: "It is the prince of Qin who wants to marry Changming!"

Ling Yangjun thought to himself, could the prince of Qin be blind and company Changming dare to marry him, and all the women in the world died? He said: "It is not considered an insult to the prince of Qin marrying Changming, which means that Qin still has some sincerity, so what are the plans of Brother Wang?"

King Qi said: "I am asking you!"

Ling Yangjun thought for a while and said, "Marriage is alliance. Our Qi State has no precedent for alliance with Qin State. It has always been hostile. Although there has not been a war for several years, the border is still tense. If we form an alliance with Qin State at this time, it may hurt the hearts of the five Shandong countries!"

King Qi said: "I also have this concern, but have you ever thought that Qin is a country of tigers and wolves after all. Although he ceded lands and sought peace six years ago, he never took our Shandong six countries seriously. He is also the most powerful enemy of Qi. In order to prevent Qin from causing trouble every year, Qi also consumed a lot of financial, material and manpower. It is also a great burden for Qi. Now it is rare for Qin to show goodwill. If we marry Qin, will the situation be better?"

Ling Yangjun shook his head and said, "It won't be better, or even worse. Qin is a plan to disintegrate our six-nation alliance. If our Qi and Qin marry each other five countries will definitely feel a grudge. For our Qi, there will be a lot of harm but no benefit!"

The King of Qi said: "How can I not know what Qin is thinking? Although our Qi is now the overlord of the six countries in Shandong, over the years, the overlords of the six countries have been changing in turn. Can you guarantee that after I die, Qi will still be able to hold the world's bull ears?"

Ling Yangjun hesitated and said, "Brother Wang means? Take this opportunity to make peace with Qin, and then free up your hands to destroy the five Shandong countries?"

King Qi pondered for a moment before saying, "It is too early to talk about destruction of the country now, but if Qi wants to go further and open up territory, it must make peace with Qin, otherwise Qi will be trapped in this acre of three-point land for generations. As the saying goes, if we do not break, establish, and do not break the current rules, we will never create a new pattern. I cannot satisfy a small overlord, and I want to lay the foundation for Qi for generations! Now Qin is getting stronger and stronger. If our Qi is firm and unwilling to make progress, sooner or later, when the Qin State's iron hooves go east, even if our Shandong six countries join forces, we may not be the opponent of Qin State. After all, we are a mob, each with ulterior motives and can never truly unite. Only by truly unifying the six countries in Shandong can we fight with Qin State in the future."

Ling Yangjun thought for a while and said, "Brother Wang has great ambitions and far-sightedness. My brother sighed that he was not as good as he did, but he should not be too hasty in this matter. If the five Shandong countries are forced to rebel, it would be a stone to shoot himself in the foot!"

King Qi nodded and said, "So I plan to test the reactions of the five Shandong countries first. If the reaction is not too intense, I will marry Qin. If the reaction is too intense, I will make a long-term plan!"

Ling Yangjun nodded and said, "This is what it should be! How does the Qin envoy, Brother Wang, plan to deal with it? Can't let them wait for our news in Qi, right?"

King Qi said: "After all, this is not a trivial matter. Let them wait for a while in Liuhua Inn, they will wait!"

Ling Yangjun smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Wang has already had a countermeasure in his heart, so it would be unnecessary to call me over!"

The King of Qi waved his hand and said, "That's different. One person has a short plan, two people have a high plan. The civil and military ministers in the court have different opinions, so it's difficult for me to decide. Since you haven't mentioned the serious disadvantages, I feel much more at ease."

Ling Yangjun rolled his eyes in his heart.

Liuhua Pavilion is located west of the palace, not far from Shuohua Street. It is mainly used to receive envoys from various countries, so the Qin mission lived here.

In one of the two-story buildings, Qin State He Min was standing in front of the window, silently looking at the bustling night view of Linzi.

At this time, the knock on the door sounded, and He Min didn't even look back, saying, "Come in!"

Deputy envoy Yuan Changxiao pushed the door open and closed the door again, walked to He Min, watched the night view with him for a while, and then said, "Why haven't Brother He been asleep yet?"

He Min sighed, "Where can you sleep when you put your burden on me?"

Yuan Changxiao smiled and said, "Brother He doesn't have to worry too much. Since the King of Qi did not refuse at that time, it means that the King of Qi was still moved. Besides, my king also wrote a secret letter to the King of Qi. Although I don't know what the content is, I probably promised a lot of benefits. King of Qi is probably tossing and turning now, and it is difficult to fall asleep!"

He Min said: "You can't have too much hope. After all, the pressure on Qi State is quite high, and they dare not agree rashly."

Yuan Changxiao said: "The King of Qi asked us to wait a moment, probably to test the reactions of the other five countries!"

He Min said: "It's probably about the same!"

Yuan Changxiao put his hands on the windowsill at this time, turned to look at He Min and said, "Brother He, but I don't understand anything. I thought about it for a day but couldn't figure it out. I hope Brother He will solve his doubts!"

He Min said: "What can you not understand?"

Yuan Changxiao smiled and said, "Today I saw the Proton Qunian of our country on the street. According to Brother He's past temperament, he should have turned a blind eye. Why did he get off the horse and salute today?"

He Min sneered and said, "Don't you know that the task we are going to have assassinate Qu Nian?"

Yuan Changxiao said in a daze: "It is precisely because I know that I am confused! Since we are all planning to assassinate him, it is no different from an enemy, why should we be so polite to him?"

He Min said: "This is for Qi State to show it, so that Qi State knows that our Qin State still cares about this young master. If Qu Nian dies, no one will suspect that we did it!"

Yuan Changxiao nodded, thoughtfully and said, "Brother He is more thoughtful!" After pausing, he said, "When will Brother He take action?"
