Chapter 9: Envoy Zhao
Yun Jiao came back to her senses, responded, and left with Ying Zheng.

The group entered Xianyang Palace, and Yun Jiao sat behind the curtain as usual, lying on the low table and listening to the conversation between Ying Zheng and his ministers.

In the middle of the conversation, Yun Jiao quietly took out a piece of steamed cake and started to nibble on it while no one was looking.

[Brother Zheng and the others are really dedicated. They have been busy since the morning and are not hungry at all. 】

[I finally understand how the achievements of these ancient emperors come from - they have been busy since so early, and they didn't pass the public examination. What a fool. 】

The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched slightly.

"The goddess thinks which of the other five countries should be attacked first?" Ying Zheng asked suddenly after coughing.

Yun Jiao was startled, and subconsciously stuffed the steamed cakes into her wide sleeves. She coughed and said, "The Qin State pursues a strategy of establishing close ties with distant enemies. If we want to choose the next place to attack, it will naturally be the State of Zhao."

"What the goddess said is wrong. The State of Zhao is guarded by Lord Wu An. In the past two years, our State of Qin suffered a lot from this son. Now we are going to attack the State of Zhao. Are we asking for trouble?" At this time, A courtier who couldn't stand the goddess Yun Jiao spoke up.

Yun Jiao was stunned.

[Hey, Mr. Wu An?Who is Mr. Wu An?Sounds so familiar. 】

"Gu Dao quite agrees with what the goddess said. Although Li Mu is a good general, his leader is ignorant and believes in slanderous people. Even with great ability, he cannot help the generals of Daxia." Ying Zheng played with his waist. Gong Sui spoke casually.

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Yun Jiao suddenly understood.

[It turned out to be Li Mu, one of the four generals of the Warring States Period. No wonder he suffered a loss. 】

"Although Li Mu repeatedly defeated the Qin army, his own troops also suffered heavy losses. And according to what I heard, earthquakes and other disasters have occurred in Zhao State in the past two years - Zhao State's national strength was already weak, and now it is even worse. Even if Mr. Wu'an It's impossible to defend yourself." After gathering her thoughts, Yun Jiao slowly opened her lips.

"Then according to what the goddess said, the State of Zhao has been weakened. What should we do to capture the State of Zhao and take its territory into our hands?" At this time, a man with a gentle face spoke slowly and raised his eyes to look inquiringly. Look at the person looming behind the curtain.

The person who spoke was Qin Guoting Wei Li Si. He had just returned from abroad not long ago. He was very curious when he heard that there was an additional goddess in the court.

After all, their king never believed in these things, except...

"Zhao Guo was unable to attack for a long time, isn't it because there was a Lord Wu An guarding him?" Yun Jiao took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"Then it will be inconvenient to remove Lord Wu'an's military power. If you are still worried, didn't King Zhao listen to the words of the sycophant? Just think of a way to let them give their military power to people who can't fight, and attack Zhao at this time. Isn’t it easy to catch it?”

[But having said that, if the Zhao Kingdom is to be conquered, it seems that the time for Li Mu to receive the lunch box will be soon. 】

[Hey, it’s a pity that such a good general was forced to commit suicide in the end. 】

Ying Zheng suddenly laughed: "What the goddess said is true. In that case, I will trouble the goddess to go there in person."

"Hmm. Huh?" Yun Jiao subconsciously looked at the person on the high seat next to her, pointed at herself, and asked in a low voice, "Let me go?"

Ying Zheng nodded.

Yun Jiao: "!!"

[Ancestor, do you want to listen to what you are saying! 】

[I'm just an ordinary lover of ancient history. I don't know how to be strategist. Are you asking me to kill someone? 】

[There is no shortage of people in the court. You see Li Si is still here, why did you let me go? 】

【QAQ】

Ying Zheng coughed: "Okay, I will make my own decision on this matter. All my dear friends, please step aside."

Everyone stood up one after another, bowed and left.

Ying Zheng stood up slowly, the orb hanging from the crown above his head swaying slightly. Behind the orb, a pair of red phoenix eyes gently looked at the person in front of him: "Are you hungry?"

Yun Jiao was about to say she wasn't hungry, but her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

Yun Jiao: "..." [Goodbye, Mom, I'm going on a long voyage tonight. 】

There was a smile in Ying Zheng's eyes, and he ordered Ah Xiao to pass on the meal. Then he changed into light clothes and sat down to eat with him.

During the meal, Yun Jiao secretly glanced at Ying Zheng from time to time.

[Why does my ancestor want me to go? I think there is nothing in me for him to be afraid of. 】

[I don’t know any of the soap and gunpowder that time-traveling girls always have. There’s no reason for him to hit me. 】

"I was born in the Kingdom of Zhao, and I met Lord Wu'an when I was young. The goddess loves interesting things all over the Kyushu, and this time I sent Zhao to visit. I sent more than [-] black armored guards, and more than [-] people from the Black Ice Platform, So the goddess went on an envoy to the State of Zhao together." Ying Zheng took a sip of wine and slowly looked at Yun Jiao who was sitting next to him, with a gentleness in his eyes that others could not easily detect.
"Don't be afraid, they will do their best to protect you."

Yun Jiao was stunned.

Legend has it that the State of Qin had a shadow guard composed of ten thousand people to serve Ying Zheng. Each one of them had special skills and could defeat ten of them one by one.

And this team is called Black Ice Platform.

As for the Black Armored Guards, they are the most elite troops of the Qin State, and the weapons they use are also made of the most sophisticated iron tools.

"Okay." After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Yun Jiao's heart moved and she nodded in agreement.

A few days later, Yun Jiao stood on the Xuanyuan High Car, looked back at Ying Zheng on the tower, and then left with everyone.

Ying Zheng looked at Yun Jiao's back, lowered his head to look at the sheepskin notebook in his hand, and gently touched the yellowed book cover.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to send the goddess alone to the Kingdom of Zhao?" After everyone left, A Xiao looked at Ying Zheng and couldn't help but ask softly.

"Li Mu is kind to others and will not kill easily." Ying Zheng looked into the distance with deep eyes, "It won't be long before I meet this old friend."

……

After Yun Jiao left, she did not go directly to Zhao State. Instead, she went to the military camp first and found Wang Jian, the general of Qin State.

Then he wrote a letter to Li Mu in the name of Wang Jian, saying that he would form an alliance with Zhao, stop the war, and make friends with Qin and Jin.

When Li Mu received the news, he thought of Ying Zheng, hesitated for a moment, wrote a letter, and sent someone to deliver it.

After receiving the letter, Yun Jiao did not immediately send an envoy to the State of Zhao. Instead, she secretly went to the border of the State of Zhao to meet with Li Mu and his party.

The moment he saw Yun Jiao, Li Mu was completely surprised.

"It's you?"

Yun Jiao looked confused: "Have you seen me?"

Li Mu's expression was subtle: "Have you lost your memory?"

Yun Jiao was even more confused.

Please, this is the first time I see you, who recognizes me?

These people are so confused.

Li Mu pondered for a moment: "The King of Qin sent you to negotiate peace?"

"Yes." Yun Jiao looked at him with a smile, "General Li, now that the Zhao State is no longer invincible, it must be that it has no strength to fight anymore."

Li Mu smiled bitterly.

That's true.

"How do you want to negotiate peace?" After gathering his thoughts, Li Mu looked at her.
