The cold wind blows the hot breath exhaled from the mouths of people and horses into puffs of white smoke.
Four carriages with white smoke slowly walked past the side door of Kou Zhun's temporary residence. "How?" Dou Rong, who was dressed as a vendor, led Wu You and others, jumped out of the carriage and hurriedly greeted him who had just walked out of the side door.
Han Qing came out, her eyes full of concern.
Unexpectedly, there would be so many people hiding in the carriage that "passed" in front of their house. The guards of the Kou Mansion were startled and instinctively touched their weapons with their hands on guard.
Before they could confirm whether the visitor was a friend or an enemy, another snow-white figure suddenly jumped down from the frost-covered pine tree at the entrance of the alley. He walked up to Han Qing in three steps and then nodded with a smile, "Come out."
Yes? Fortunately, they didn’t send anyone to hunt you down!”
"Get in the car and tell me!" Han Qing nodded to Dou Rong and Ye Qinglian, who was dressed in snow-white, and ordered with a smile. Then, he bowed his hands to the stunned guards, pulled the two girls onto the carriage, and drove away at lightning speed.
The carriage is quite spacious, with a white copper stove in the center. According to Han Qing's design, there is also a chimney made of copper to lead the soot out of the roof.
In the stove, the white charcoal glows red. Just one look at it makes people feel warm in their hearts.
In order to protect Han Qing, Ye Qinglian hid in the pine tree next to Kou Zhun's temporary residence for a full hour. The cold air made her bones ache. When she saw the fire coming from the furnace mouth, she immediately reached out her hand impatiently.
.
"Be careful, you'll get frostbite if you bake it like this, and you'll be itchy to death!" Xu Ziling, who was boiling tea on the stove, quickly turned around and gently patted Ye Qinglian's hand away. Then, she filled one with hot water.
She stuffed the cowhide bag into her arms, "First rub it with your hands, especially your fingers and the back of your hands, until they become red and hot, and then warm them over a fire. Otherwise, the cold air will accumulate and your hands will swell into doughy dough."
As he spoke, he handed two other cowhide bags filled with hot water to Dou Rong and Han Qing respectively, "Brother Han, sister Dou, you two should also rub your hands to ventilate the blood."
"Yes!" Han Qing and Dou Rong agreed in unison, and thanked them with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. You are the most considerate person in this family."
"I have never practiced martial arts, and I can't help with anything else. I have to do something within my ability." Xu Ziling smiled softly and responded in a low voice.
"Don't belittle yourself. If you hadn't helped to make suggestions in advance this time, I wouldn't have been able to get close to Prime Minister Kou so smoothly, let alone convince him so smoothly." Knowing that Xu Ziling was unable to participate in many actions, Han Qing already had a knot in his mind.
He took over the conversation and praised with a smile.
"Did he agree to force the officials to go to Chanzhou?" Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly lit up, reflecting the light of the fire in the stove. "Where is the other prime minister named Bi? When we discussed it together, we didn't expect him to be there.
."
"At least Bi Xiang will not interfere with it." Han Qing recalled the last reactions of Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an, and nodded solemnly, "After all, it is better to be assassinated by me on the way south than to go to Chanzhou to supervise the battle, and to deal with Zhao Henglai.
Say, it’s safer.”
"They didn't send any soldiers to hunt down Brother Han, so they acquiesced to Brother Han's suggestion." Ye Qinglian added with a smile while rubbing her hands on the cowhide hot water bottle repeatedly.
"Sure enough, as Zi Ling said, if you want to open a window, you should first tell others that you plan to lift the roof!" Dou Rong also took over the conversation and sighed with a smile.
If you want to suggest opening a window to the other party, the best way is to tell the other party that you are going to lift the roof.
This was Xu Ziling's suggestion a few days ago when everyone was discussing how to persuade Kou Zhun.
Today Han Qing happily adopted it and implemented it according to this strategy. The effect cannot be said to be perfect, but at least it basically meets everyone's expectations.
"Brother Han is famous. Otherwise, if anyone else dared to say that, Kou Xiang would have ordered the guards to come in and knock him over on the spot. I, I just like to talk on paper." Xu Ziling was a little embarrassed by everyone's praise.
, lowered his head and spoke modestly in a very small voice.
"If we were talking on paper, we could explain it like this. Zhao Kuo would not have lost 400,000 Zhao troops back then." Han Qing smiled and shook his head as he wanted to give her more encouragement.
He works as a divorce counselor in another world. Although he doesn't believe in love, he often daydreams about hugging each other.
But in this time and space, when he really hugged each other, and there was one more person in front of him, he realized that this kind of life was actually not easy.
However, now that the three beauties are in the same car, he can only be sad and happy. Try not to be too partial and don't let any of the three beauties regret their initial choice.
She was about to continue to encourage Xu Ziling with a few words, as compensation for not being able to take her with her a while ago. However, she found that Xu Ziling suddenly frowned, and then she exclaimed in a low voice, "Something's wrong, there are still a lot of things wrong here.
Son. Brother Han, when we were in Chang'an, Prime Minister Kou would not be as easily persuaded as he is today! Can you please tell me more carefully about the specific negotiation process between you, Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an. I always feel that
, there’s something missing here.”
After hearing Xu Ziling's suspicion, Han Qing also felt that today's process of persuading Kou Zhun was a bit too smooth. Therefore, he began to recall without hesitation, "I followed the method we discussed in advance and asked Yang Xu to help Kou Xiang.
He deceived the coachman Kou Xi and then pretended to be him to drive the coach for Kou Zhun..."
When he mentioned that Kou Zhun tried his best to excuse Zhao Heng, Dou Rong, Ye Qinglian and Xu Ziling all shook their heads.
When he mentioned that Kou Zhun threatened them with an unedged sword, the three women couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I told Prime Minister Kou and Prime Minister Bi that the two of them teamed up to kidnap Zhao Heng and go to Chanzhou to force him to perform his duties. They were actually saving his life. Otherwise, as long as Han is alive one day, he will definitely come to assassinate him...
..." Soon, Han Qing came to the most critical point, and told the reactions of Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an in turn, "Bi Shi'an was shocked and angry, but he didn't dare to bet on whether I would do what I said. Kou Xiang wanted to shout
I am a human being, but after many hesitations, I finally chose to give up and let me walk away..."
"No, before that, Kou Zhun had the opportunity to interrupt you and call the guards to come in and arrest you. Even if you just let you fight a bloody way to escape in the end, at least he could give the temporary palace a warning and let them
Be on guard." Xu Ziling suddenly sat up straight and interrupted in a low voice.
"You mean, he deliberately asked me to reveal his proposal to hijack the official's family and go to Chanzhou?" Han Qing was horrified and quickly sat up straight.
"I'm afraid there are still those threats." Xu Ziling thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Why did he do this?" Han Qing frowned and asked in a low voice. Then, without waiting for Xu Ziling to answer, he smiled and patted his forehead with his hand, "This Kou Laoxi'er, I'm afraid he has long wanted to kidnap Zhao Heng.
I'm in Chanzhou, but I just don't want to bear a bad reputation. Today, this evil man has become me to do it for him. He is forced to have no choice but to use me as an excuse to persuade Bi Shi'an! This old guy is evil to the core.
It's inside. I accidentally stabbed him again today!"
