An Guojun hurriedly came to the room where Zhang Beichen lived. He rushed into the room and saw that Zhang Beichen seemed to be lying in a pool of blood. He hurriedly stepped forward to check.
I saw that Zhang Beichen had been stabbed in the abdomen, bleeding was not stopping, and his breath was very weak.
At this time, An Guojun was a bodyguard. He hurriedly asked: "Sir, what's wrong with you? Where is the assassin?"
"The assassin has escaped. Leave him alone and save me first!" Zhang Beichen gritted his teeth.
"I'm going to call the doctor right now!" An Guojun was about to leave. Suddenly, he had a premonition that something was wrong and blocked it with his elbow.
At the same time, a sword flashed and stabbed him in the back of the heart!
An Guojun avoided the vital point in time. He was about to counterattack at this moment, but Zhang Beichen, who didn't want to be hurt, suddenly took action and stabbed An Guojun's heart accurately with a dagger.
An Guojun widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Beichen in disbelief.
He covered his chest and asked: "Why... why? Why do you want to kill me?"
"An Guojun, you are a good person." Zhang Beichen said helplessly, "But if you want to participate in this hegemony game, since you want to fight for the throne, you should be prepared to die."
"How do you know I am An Guojun?" An Guojun was still questioning.
Zhang Beichen did not answer. He knew An Guojun was stalling for time. Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he used sword energy to smash An Guojun's internal organs.
An Guojun died with his eyes closed. He never imagined that a hero of his own generation would die in his own house before he rose up in rebellion or competed for the position of King Yan!
Until his death, he never understood why Zhang Beichen cooperated in assassinating him and how he recognized his true identity.
When the guards arrived to check the situation, the assassin had already escaped.
"Sir, are you okay?" the fake An Guojun asked hurriedly.
"I'm a little injured." Zhang Beichen covered his abdomen.
"Where's the doctor? Come here quickly!" An Guojun shouted hurriedly.
The doctor hurried over to stop the bleeding and treat Zhang Beichen's injuries. An Guojun said angrily: "The palace has entered the house at this moment, and even injured my husband. Do all the guards like you have to work hard?"
"The mansion is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for assassins to get in easily. Someone must be trying to steal and murder me. From today on, we will strictly investigate the guards and retainers in the mansion!"
An Guojun took the opportunity to initiate a strict investigation, and Zhang Beichen knew that he was purging those loyal followers of his true form.
In the next few days, "An Guojun" indeed discovered many spies, many of whom were in important positions.
An Guojun executed them mercilessly. Some people refused to accept and were even directly executed by the three tribes!
Some smart people had already noticed that the Anguo Lord's Mansion was no longer peaceful and fled quickly.
An Guojun's 3,000 customers, more than 1,000 of them left in just one week!
However, An Guojun didn't care. His true body was already dead. He only needed to listen to King Yan honestly and enjoy a wealthy life.
…
Because of the injury, Zhang Beichen's trip was delayed, and he could only continue to stay at An Guojun's house.
He knew that his mission had actually been completed.
In the room, Zhang Beichen was eating fruit and chatting with Han Mengshu on the simulator.
Han Mengshu: "The flowers in the courtyard are blooming again. They were planted when you came last time. (Picture)"
She seemed to be posting pictures of flowers, but in fact she was dressed coolly, and her beautiful feet and slender calves were "inadvertently" exposed, and her expression was that of a sober beauty who has spent her time peacefully.
Zhang Beichen didn't expose it and said: "Yes, this flower is really white!"
Han Mengshu: "???This is obviously a red flower!"
After she finished speaking, she realized that Zhang Beichen was talking about her body.
Han Mengshu's face turned slightly red and said: "Zhang Qing has indeed not changed at all, she is still the same..."
The two chatted for a while and talked about simulating becoming emperor.
Han Mengshu said in a resentful tone: "Now the King of Qin, King Wei, King Zhao, and even King Yan have unified the world in the simulation and ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor. I'm sorry, I have never achieved such an achievement."
"Perhaps it's because I am not capable enough and I have never been able to become emperor."
Zhang Beichen comforted him: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You will definitely be able to become emperor."
Han Mengshu: "I am really powerless. Without Zhang Qing's assistance, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it even if I simulate it twenty times. I know that Zhang Qing is really too busy. After all, there are so many queens who want Zhang Qing's help. Zhang Qing
Don’t worry about me, I’ll just be sad for a while. (Picture)”
Han Mengshu in the picture has grievances written all over her clean face.
Zhang Beichen: "..."
"Then next time I have a chance, I will definitely help you!"
Han Mengshu: "Really? Zhang Qing, you don't have to force yourself."
Zhang Beichen: "Don't force it."
Han Mengshu: "That's great, Zhang Qing, you are indeed my favorite man!"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Han Mengshu felt much better.
While chatting, Zhang Beichen suddenly felt something was wrong.
He sent a message: "Your Majesty, I have something to do, let's talk later."
Han Mengshu: "It's accurate."
Zhang Beichen looked at the room warily. Everything seemed to be the same as before. He let go of his spiritual sense and looked around. Sure enough, there was a strange smell in the air.
"Who?" Zhang Beichen asked in surprise.
"Shut up!" A dagger appeared next to his neck. The sharp blade seemed to be able to easily cut his aorta.
However, Zhang Beichen calmed down at this time because he could already feel the familiar atmosphere.
"This is An Guojun's mansion. If you attempt an assassination here, you will definitely not be able to leave alive." Zhang Beichen said deliberately.
"It doesn't matter. As a dead soldier, I was determined to die before I took action!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
"Really?" Zhang Beichen suddenly took action and grabbed the other person's neck.
The opponent wanted to fight back, but was worried that the dagger would stab Zhang Beichen, so he succeeded.
Zhang Beichen saw a petite girl wearing Lingyan clothes looking at him. This was naturally Yan Qingwu.
In the real time and space, Yan Qingwu is still the same lolita image, and has not yet developed into the empress of the Yan Kingdom who later came to court from all nations.
"Zhang Beichen, why don't you let me go?" Yan Qingwu scolded, having already put down the dagger.
She raised her head, her little face was fair, her eyes were big and crystal clear. Her true appearance made people feel like they couldn't help but hold it in their hands to protect her. Who would have thought that this girl could kill someone without blinking an eye!
Zhang Beichen lowered his head, and Yan Qingwu suddenly panicked, her body became tense, and asked: "What do you want to do?"
"How can you not be punished for assassinating the real person?" Zhang Beichen said with a strange smile.
Yan Qingwu said anxiously: "Zhang Beichen, you have to understand that I am the King of Yan! You are so bold!"
Zhang Beichen's face was getting closer and closer, and Yan Qingwu was completely panicked.
She originally wanted to push Zhang Beichen away, but she still had the simulation experience with Zhang Beichen in her mind. The two of them had already been married in the simulated time and space. It shouldn't be too much to do something between husband and wife, right?
But in real time and space, this was the first time they met!
Yan Qingwu even closed her eyes, waiting for her fate.
However, Zhang Beichen did not take any further action. He just couldn't help pinching her little face and said, "Prince Yan is even cuter than in the simulation!"
"You...you are looking for death!" Yan Qingwu looked shy. She was the majestic King of Yan, but she was teased like this!
"If you hadn't helped me get rid of An Guojun, you would be dead now!" Yan Qingwu threatened fiercely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.
"Humph, I'll let you go this time!" Yan Qingwu said in a arrogant tone.
Zhang Beichen let go of her, and the two sat on the bed facing each other.
This room happened to be the room where the two of them faked their marriage in the simulated time and space. At this moment, some memories emerged for both of them.
Zhang Beichen said: "Now that King An is dead and the territory of Yan has been stabilized, how does King Yan plan to deal with the affairs of the Xiongnu and Donghu?"
Yan Qingwu thought: "Of course I will use your previous method to let the Xiongnu and Donghu fight, and I, the Yan Kingdom, will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"
"That Wuhuan Khan is not from Yan State now." Zhang Beichen reminded.
"Then why don't you go on another journey for me?" Yan Qingwu suggested.
"No, no, if I go here, I won't be able to go back every year. How can I tell you?" Zhang Beichen shook his head and refused.
"If you're afraid of what she'll do, just stay in Yan Kingdom. I'll protect you!" Yan Qingwu said, patting her airport-like chest.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Your Majesty should find someone else for this job," Zhang Beichen said.
"By the way, since Lord An is dead, it's time for the king to fulfill his promise and return the city to Qin, right?"
Yan Qingwu said: "Really? When did Lord An Guo die? Isn't he still alive?"
Zhang Beichen had a dark look on his face, "Your Majesty, a gentleman's words are hard to catch up with!"
Yan Qingwu said confidently: "I am a woman."
Zhang Beichen: "Then we must keep our promises!"
Yan Qingwu: "It depends on your performance."
She showed a sly smile.
Zhang Beichen knew that Yan Qingwu wanted to take advantage of him!
He then said: "Forget it, my mission has been completed, I am going back to my country! You and King Qin can handle the next thing!"
Zhang Beichen looked like he was leaving, but Yan Qingwu became anxious and said, "Zhang Beichen, I'm renting you for a month, and the month hasn't come yet. If you leave early, you're a deadbeat!"
Zhang Beichen said with a smile: "When the month is up, the king will return the city as promised."
"Of course!" Yan Qingwu knew that she was still manipulated by Zhang Beichen!
…
Although he had reached an agreement with King Yan, Zhang Beichen still had to do some superficial work.
He bid farewell to "King An Guo" and continued to Jicheng to meet King Yan - even though King Yan was driving in his car.
In Jicheng, in the palace of King Yan, Zhang Beichen formally met with King Yan.
At this time, Yan Qingwu had already changed into a royal robe, and Zhang Beichen noticed that her royal robe had been replaced by a new royal robe with blue and white porcelain patterns.
"Foreign minister Zhang Beichen, on the order of the King of Qin, has an audience with the King of Yan." Zhang Beichen shouted.
"I have heard about Qin Prime Minister Zhang Beichen for a long time." Yan Qingwu pretended not to recognize him and said according to etiquette: "Tell me, what message did King Qin ask you to bring?"
Zhang Beichen cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my king is willing to become a friendly country with the King of Yan, offer a small gift to the Yan State, and ask the King of Yan to return the city of Qin that he previously occupied."
When the officials of the Yan State heard this, they all said, "What's the truth? Do the cities in this world still have names? They already belong to our Yan State, and they belong to our Yan State."
"Please, gentlemen, please be patient." Yan Qingwu said, "Send me the gift list."
"Yes!" Zhang Beichen handed over a bamboo slip.
Yan Qingwu opened the bamboo slips. There was nothing serious on the bamboo slips, but it read: "King Yan, you look very cute when you smile. Smile more."
When Yan Qingwu saw the words on the bamboo slip, she wished she could give Zhang Beichen a big look. But because all the ministers were looking at her, she had to pretend to be serious and said: "Yes, it seems that King Qin is interested."
"Since the King of Qin is willing to give such a great gift, I cannot be stingy. I will return those cities to you, the Kingdom of Qin."
The ministers were astonished that King Yan agreed so easily. Could it be that King Qin gave him some extraordinary gift?
If they knew that King Qin's price was to "rent" Zhang Beichen for a month, their eyes would probably pop out!
After the two parties exchanged credentials, the matter was settled.
Yan Qingwu was not stingy and said: "Since Qin and Yan have become allies, I will not be stingy."
"Zhang Beichen, I heard that you are not only the Prime Minister of Qin, but also the King of Wei, Han, and Zhao. Today, I will make you the Prime Minister of Yan, and you will have the same status as Yan.
treatment."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Zhang Beichen thanked him.
Now, he is the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms, and the officials of the Yan Kingdom are extremely jealous when they look at him!
This kind of honor is simply the pinnacle of a courtier!
…
After doing this, the day to return to China is not far away.
Zhang Beichen lived in Jicheng.
In the palace of King Yan, Grand Tutor Guo Guang asked to see Yan Qingwu.
As soon as he saw Yan Qingwu, Guo Guang said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty not only returned the city of Qin, but also made Qin Prime Minister Zhang Beichen the Prime Minister of Yan!"
"Your Majesty, many ministers are dissatisfied with this matter, and they are complaining privately. So how many benefits did King Qin promise?"
Yan Qingwu said: "A treasure worth more than several cities!"
"What?" Guo Guang asked curiously.
"If Taifu is confused, you can go to the pottery workshop with me tomorrow." Yan Qingwu said.
Guo Guang was puzzled, but since King Yan said so, he suppressed his doubts and said, "I obey the order."
…
That night, Zhang Beichen was resting in the house. Suddenly the window was opened and a figure flashed in.
Zhang Beichen said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, you are King Yan. Why don't you just go through the door and have to jump out of the window?"
"I'm used to it." Yan Qingwu said casually.
She found a chair and sat down by herself, and said: "Zhang Beichen, do you know that the king is making you prime minister today, and the ministers are dissatisfied?"
Zhang Beichen looked innocent and said, "This is all your idea, King Yan. What can I do?"
Yan Qingwu said: "Anyway, you are now the Prime Minister of Yan State, and you have to do things for Yan State."
"Tomorrow let's go to the pottery workshop and let me see how your porcelain is fired."
"I know that there is no free lunch in the world!" Zhang Beichen said, "Being the prime minister does come with a price!"
"That's right, since I rented you for a month, I will make the best use of everything and make the best use of everyone's talents!" Yan Qingwu said proudly.
Zhang Beichen smiled evilly and said: "Let everyone use their talents to their best advantage? Your Majesty, I think there are still abilities that have not been fully utilized!"
Seeing his malicious expression, Yan Qingwu's face turned red and said: "Then you should do your best, I will leave first!"
With that said, she opened the window again and disappeared.
