Lou Chang, Zhao Bao, and Yu Qing stood in front of him. Lou Chang hesitated to speak, and raised his head from time to time to look at King Zhao. Zhao Bao had an angry look on his face and frowned. Only Yu Qing,
Extraordinarily calm, there was even a smile on his lips. King Zhao paced back and forth for a long time before he noticed Lou Chang's strange appearance and asked: "If you know anything about the situation, tell me not to talk to a woman."
Same!"
Lou Chang then bowed to King Zhao in fear and said: "I have heard some news about the murder of the envoy, but I am worried that there is something wrong with the news, and I am worried that it will destroy the harmony between you and the important ministers.
Ah." King Zhao was stunned, and then he hurriedly asked: "Which important minister is it? Just tell me, even if you are wrong, I will not punish you!"
Lou Chang looked at the two ministers around him and said nothing. King Zhao was furious and said, "If you don't say anything, I will treat you as a criminal and hand you over to Qin!"
Lou Chang then said: "I got the news. It is said that Lord Mafu took people out of Mafu before the envoy was killed. After he was killed, he took the carriage back to Mafu, and there were fewer visitors." He just said.
He told the information he had found out, but did not reveal his guess. Hearing his words, King Zhao suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Would a person as kind and righteous as Ma Fujun become a thief?"
"Or do you think that I'm a thief?"
Lou Chang shook his head hurriedly and said: "This is just the news that I have found out. I don't dare to say that." King Zhao scolded: "Those villains who passed the news will be put to death! You dare to talk behind your back.
Ma Fujun, instigating the relationship between me and him! This is a capital crime!" Lou Chang accepted the order. Yu Qing stood aside and said with a smile: "I don't know, it turns out that you have eyes and ears everywhere, and I didn't get any false evidence.
You already know the news."
Lou Chang Zhengyi said calmly: "As a commander, isn't it my duty to arrest criminals and punish thieves?"
Yu Qing sneered and said: "You are the Sikou of Zhao State, not Qin State. The King of Zhao loves you, but don't think of yourself as the King of Qin. You have not done the things of Zhao State well, but you have to rush to do the things of Qin State."
thing."
King Zhao had not yet spoken, but Zhao Bao said with some dissatisfaction: "The most important thing now is not to catch the thieves, but how to deal with the aftermath. The envoy of the Qin people died in the territory of Zhao State, and they will definitely not negotiate for peace again."
.I think Lian Po should be given an order to beware of the crazy revenge of the Qin people." Yu Qing also nodded and said: "This is what you said. I think the Qin envoy can be killed.
The news goes out to all nations.”
"Since there is no way to ease the relationship with Qin, then use the corpses of these envoys to let other countries see Zhao's determination. In this way, if the princes attack Qin together, Qin will definitely fail."
King Zhao thought for a moment, then agreed and said, "Just do it."
The news that the envoy was killed in Zhao State quickly spread to other countries.
Zhao Kuo returned to the horse uniform, successfully buried his retainers, and sent money to their families. He was not in a good mood. He was reading in the courtyard, waiting for the changes that would happen next. He was already in a state of despair.
After being prepared, he would not be surprised even if King Zhao sent soldiers to capture him. However, King Zhao's envoy did not arrive, but an unexpected guest came to Mafu, and the visitor was none other than Qin.
Proton, Ying Yiren.
Ying Yiren took an old man and rushed to the horse service.
Zhao Kuo's disciples, perhaps because of the fight they had just experienced, did not have a good impression of this distinguished guest from the Qin State. However, as Ma Fujun's disciples, they could not be rude and went to report Zhao Kuo. After getting Zhao Kuo's
After agreeing, he led them into the courtyard. Zhao Kuo sat in the courtyard, holding a bamboo slip. When he saw Ying Yiren entering the door, he did not get up. He looked at the old man following him again, his eyes
Stayed for a while.
"Kuo, it's been a long time. How are you?" Ying Yiren showed great enthusiasm. He walked to Zhao Kuode's side happily and leaned over to salute. Zhao Kuo stood up slowly and said, "I'm okay."
." Ying Yiren said with a smile: "When you went to conquer the Yan Kingdom, I wanted to see you off, but Yu Qing did not allow me to get close to the school grounds. I can only come to celebrate you after your triumphant return."
"I heard that you took the lead, killed the generals and captured the flag, and defeated Lifu, who had an army of 100,000 men, with only a few thousand troops!" There was no anger or fear in Ying Yiren's eyes, but only joy.
As if he truly admired his friend's great achievements, Zhao Kuo smiled, looked at the old man behind him, and asked, "Is this gentleman Lu Buwei?"
Lu Buwei was stunned. He really didn't expect that Zhao Kuo recognized him with just one glance. He hurriedly leaned over to salute and said, "Lu Buwei pays homage to Mr. Ma Fu."
Several guests gathered around Zhao Kuo, perhaps because Ying Yiren had a criminal record and did not dare to let down their guard. Zhao Kuo did not answer Ying Yiren's question, but instead turned the topic to Lu Buwei, which made Ying Yiren feel
Some discomfort. In the past, when the two met, the topic was always in the hands of Ying Yiren. Zhao Kuo just followed him. In a short period of time, Zhao Kuo seemed to be a different person.
.
"Ma Fujun and I have never met before. How did Ma Fujun recognize me?" Lu Buwei asked curiously.
"You don't know, I met Ying Hou Fanju very late and have a close relationship. He is a close friend of mine. We often exchange letters. He once told me about you. He said that you were just a businessman in the past.
After meeting the foreigner, you said that this was the rarest of goods, so you helped him obtain the position of crown prince." Zhao Kuo said calmly, Lu Buwei was shocked, and Ying Yiren's expression changed on the side.
In any case, being called cargo is definitely not something to be happy about.
However, he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Without the help of my husband, I would still be just a proton who could hardly survive. I am very grateful to my husband for his help."
Lu Buwei did not continue to ask Zhao Kuo. Ying Yiren smiled and chatted with Zhao Kuo about interesting things in Handan. As they chatted, Ying Yiren suddenly asked: "Do you know about the murder of the Qin envoy?"
"
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I was the one who killed him."
Ying Yiren's eyes widened, and the words he had prepared were stuck in his throat, unable to speak. He was silent for a moment, and then asked angrily: "Why are you doing this? Qin really wants to negotiate peace with Zhao.
To end the war, don’t you care about the suffering people of Zhao State?” Zhao Kuo looked at him and said seriously: “Ying Hou once wrote me a letter telling me the true purpose of sending the envoy. Killing the envoy is also
He inspired me."
"This is impossible! The envoy is from Yinghou..." Ying Yiren said halfway, then stopped.
Zhao Kuo was also a little confused and said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that the envoy was actually Yinghou's retainer. However, Yinghou is a good friend worth making. He is willing to sacrifice national affairs for the sake of his friends, and even
I am very happy to have such a good friend at the expense of my own disciples. One day, I can introduce him to you, and I think you will definitely love him as much as I do."
Ying Yiren's expression kept changing, and after a long time, he finally showed a gentle smile.
"Okay, I'm very willing to make friends with him."
Ying Yiren looked at Zhao Kuo, but in his heart he kept chanting the name of the person who could solve all problems.
