Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 158 I'd rather lose the world!
Back at Champion Hou's Mansion, Yan Lingji followed Suzaku to work.

In the remaining few days, Li Si had close and friendly discussions with Zhao Envoy.

It's just that occasionally the two sides will secretly scold each other or even fight.

In any case, it is not easy to sit down and have a good talk.

The process was not smooth, but there was still a result. Zhao Guo promised Qin that 36 city gates, including Shouling, would be handed over to Qin.

It was Li Si's limit to be able to talk about this.

After Meng Tian received the news, he also began to slowly withdraw his troops.

Shouling City.

When Lian Po received the news of their withdrawal, he seemed very puzzled, and he didn't know why after thinking about it for a long time.

Logically speaking, they have already formed a siege around themselves, so they wouldn't start withdrawing their troops without a fight, right?

With this withdrawal, they actually returned directly to Xianyang City.
Some soldiers of the Zhao State gave their opinions at this time, "Should we take advantage of the situation and attack Hangu? This is also to clarify the situation."

After all, Qin's sudden withdrawal of troops came too suddenly.

Lian Po said angrily: "Only 10 people, you want to attack Hangu Pass? Can't you find death?"

Since this matter has not been clarified, then he must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward. The best way right now is to continue to stick to Shouling for a period of time.

Xianyang city.

The envoy Zhao and the state of Qin reached a consensus, and there was no need for them to stay here any longer, so they all packed up their belongings in the posthouse and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, he got news that Lian Po was at the border.

This is a big deal for him.

It is well known that he and Lian Po are at odds, and the other party must be against him when he regains power. Therefore, without any hesitation, he wants to return to Handan as soon as possible.

Even if it's a detour because of this, it's fine, in short, absolutely can't let that Lian Po sit on the sidelines and wait for him.

When he was about to leave Xianyang City, Ying Yuan invited him to drink a cup of tea, and said to him earnestly: "Since there is no war between Qin and Zhao, we are still friends, are you right?"

Guo Kai frowned and said: "What Hou Ye said is that we are friends from the beginning and always will be."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan smiled, and then said expressionlessly: "If there is nothing wrong in Handan, we should think of a way, how to kill that old fellow Lian Po, no matter how bad it is, we can't let him take over the military power again."

Guo Kai said sincerely: "What Hou Ye said is very true! This Lianpo, I have long disliked him, but he has many people around him."

Having said that, he hesitated to speak but stopped.

Knowing what he meant, Ying Yuan said, "Don't worry, if you target Lian Po, we will help you."

Guo Kai immediately got up from the bench, bowed deeply and said: "Hou Ye's kindness, I will never forget it!"

Ying Yuan wanted Lian Po to die because if he lived, he would pose a threat to Qin.

And Guo Kai wanted Lian Po to die because he wanted Zhao Guo's court to have no one against him.

The goals of the two are the same, so the process of negotiation is also very pleasant.

In order to ensure that Guo Kai could really deal with Lian Po when he returned to Handan, he thought carefully for a moment, and then slowly said: "The Qin State now has millions of troops. In the future, the Great Qin must go east, and even Annihilate the State of Zhao, so if you want to have a place to settle down in the future, you'd better follow the orders of this Marquis."

Guo Kai superficially flattered, "That's natural. If Master Hou says anything in the future, I will definitely work hard to do it."

He belongs to the kind of person who can neither offend nor have any position to speak of.

Otherwise, after Qin destroyed Zhao in later generations, he wouldn't have jumped out to join Qin immediately.

The matter of Zhao Guo has come to an end for the time being, but the follow-up is not over, and everything will have to wait until Guo Kai returns to Handan.

In any case, the affairs of Zhao Guo are not closely related to Ying Yuan's own interests, but he is closely related to the current situation. It can be said that he is the ruthless driving force behind the peace talks. .

Two hours after Guo Kai left Xianyang City, Xianyang City ushered in a light rain.

Many people knew very well in their hearts that after this rain, the sky in Qin State would be completely cold.

In Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng stood barefoot and saber at the gate of the palace, staring at Xiao Yu in front of him, fascinated for a long time.

Behind him, Li Si, Wei Liao, Meng Yi, and Gai Nie stood side by side.

"I gave up this opportunity, and I don't know how long I have to wait."

After a while, Ying Zheng let out a worried sigh.

Li Si took a step forward, bowed decisively, and said, "My lord, according to the investigation of Champion Hou, Zhao Wangyan's body has reached the end of his life. After his death, I think that should be a chance."

"Champion Hou?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

He had already sensed the Zhao Guo matter, and Ying Yuan was behind it all.

He, the Great Sima and General, is already more able to influence the situation than himself, the king.

There is also a small episode of the "October Major Case" in the Zhao Guo incident, which all tells about Ying Yuan's overwhelming strength today.

If he had been able to curb Ying Yuan's development before killing Li Mu, but now, it was no longer possible.

After killing Li Mu, he has reached the peak of his reputation and power, and it is already too late to restrain him now.

"The third battalion is ordered to train soldiers from now on!"

In the hall, Ying Zheng's voice finally echoed.

The so-called three camps refer to the three camps of Lishan, Lantian and Bashang.

These three battalions are all the elite soldiers of Qin.

Champion Hou Fuzhong.

Suzaku and more than two hundred watchman members were wearing coir raincoats and were standing in the courtyard, waiting for Ying Yuan's order.

Yan Lingji stood beside him, looking at everything in front of her, she couldn't help feeling a little shocked.

She has seen the faces of these people before, and they are servants of the mansion on weekdays, but when they are used, the murderous look on them makes people tremble, and everyone's eyes are extremely sharp.

It's hard to imagine that these people are getting along with themselves every day.

The rain is getting heavier.

But Ying Yuan was not in a hurry, he was playing chess with Xiaoyan, beside Yan Lingji, there were also Li Tong and Ji Mo who had returned to Xianyang one step earlier than Mengtian.

Apart from the sound of rain, the only voices were his and Xiaoyan Luluozi's voice, which was extremely crisp.

The place where they played chess was in a gazebo in front of the courtyard.

Gradually, some rain began to appear on the chessboard, showing how heavy the rain was.

After about an incense stick of kung fu, Xiao Yanlu knew that he was about to lose the battle, so he lost the intention to continue playing chess. He looked at the more than two hundred beaters standing in the middle of the courtyard, with a childish voice. He asked, "Are they going to kill people?"

Ying Yuan didn't pretend to hide anything, he nodded and said, "Concentrate on playing chess."

Many children in the Warring States period saw dead people and wars from an early age.

Yan Lu followed Jingxi and saw many people die before meeting Yuwu in Chu State.

So, there was really nothing to hide from him.

Moreover, there are some things that he knows earlier, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Yan Lu sighed, pity emerged in his heart, and he asked tentatively:
"Can't you not kill?"

"I have to kill."

"Why?" Yan Lu didn't understand very much.

Ying Yuan looked at him and smiled, "It's like the chess pieces on this chessboard. Either you eat me or I eat you. Whoever eats more pieces has more power. will win."

"Is there no other way?" Yan Lu frowned.

Ying Yuan suddenly got up, stood with hands behind his back, turned his back to Yan Lu, looked at Suzaku and everyone, and said slowly: "Born in troubled times, there are many things, even I have no choice.

All in all, in one sentence.

Rather teach me to blame the world, don't teach the world to blame me. "

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was a thunder in the sky, which shocked people's hearts.

In an instant, Suzaku's figure flickered.

More than two hundred people followed closely behind.

Li Tong and Ji Mo buried their heads very low.

Those words were too serious, so heavy that they didn't look up at Ying Yuan very much after hearing it.

And Yan Lingji looked at him adoringly.

Perhaps from this moment on, she was truly convinced by him, and sincere admiration flooded into her heart in an instant.

From her reluctance at the beginning to her willingness to become his slave now, Yan Lingji has already completely regarded Tian Ze as a thing of the past.

Because the master in her eyes now has the power to swallow mountains and rivers like no one before or after.

It is Tianze who can't hold a candle to him. The reason why he still has some nostalgia for Tianze now is that the stories that happened in the past are more unforgettable.

However, she believed that as long as she continued to stay by his side, from now on, she would only have him in her eyes and could no longer tolerate others.

Xiao Yan Lu looked at Ying Yuan's back, and the emotions revealed in her eyes were extremely complicated.

Unknowingly, he set an ambition in his heart that was not an ambition.

He wants to prove to Ying Yuan that in this world, killing is not the only way to solve things.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Uncle, I want to go to Jixia Academy, so go now!"

There, he will meet many people, such as Fu Nian.
