Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

A soft cry sounded from upstairs, and after a while, a female voice said: "What Tian Sixing said is that I won't do it next time."

Tian Sixing hesitated to speak, and said: "Princess, in a few days it will be Zhao Guo's autumn hunting. At that time, I will take the princess to participate. This is an opportunity to meet Zhao Wang. I hope the princess can let Zhao Wang make a decision as soon as possible." This marriage."

Princess Tian Wan was silent for a moment, and said: "I know."

Tian Sixing said: "The minister will retire, the princess should rest well."

There was a sound of footsteps, obviously Na Tian Sixing went downstairs.

After a while, Qiu'er's voice sounded from the room: "This Tian Sixing, isn't he just a small official under Da Sixing's command? He doesn't care about his dignity when he speaks. It's really rude! Princess, don't you think so?"

Tian Wan sighed softly, and said, "Tian Sixing is also doing it for the good of Daqi."

The female official Qiu'er said angrily: "If the princess marries to any other country, she can't be a queen. Why should she marry the king of Zhao as a side concubine? Isn't it because these men are useless at all, and they can only curry favor with Zhao in this way?" ?”

Tian Wan sighed again, a trace of sadness flashed across her beautiful face.

The female officer Qiu'er came back to her senses and exclaimed, "Princess, Qiu'er is talking too much, Qiu'er shouldn't be talking like that."

Tian Wan shook her head, and said: "Qiu'er, you are Bengong's personal female officer, and I grew up with Bengong, so why would Bengong blame you?

This palace is just alas. "

With a sigh, the girl princess was full of helplessness.

Qiu'er hurriedly changed the subject: "It's Qiu'er who is not good, Qiu'er is wrong.

By the way, the princess, that person just now was actually Zhao Kuo, what does the princess think of him? "

For some reason, Tian Wan's words suddenly became a little shy: "What, what?"

Qiu'er giggled, and said: "Princess, Qiu'er could see clearly just now, when Zhao Kuo jumped in, he hugged the princess to his full arms" "Qiu'er!!"

Tian Wan's shy and annoyed voice sounded from upstairs: "Shut up, Ben Gong!"

The laughter of the two girls rang into a ball.

Chapter 25 Zhao Kuo saves people and solves the case

When Zhao Kuo woke up, it was already late at night.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his mother's extremely concerned eyes.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Zhao's mother wept with joy, and hugged Zhao Kuo who was sitting up, "My son woke up, finally woke up, you don't know how much mother is worried about you." Zhao Kuo looked around, found that he was already at home, and immediately relaxed. Take a breath.

The wound on the arm has been bandaged. Although there is still some pain, it can be felt that it is just a trauma, and it will recover after a period of cultivation.

After finally calming Zhao's mother down, Zhao Kuo asked a few confidants standing beside the bed, "Is there anyone else alive?"

Several confidants looked at each other, and then one of them whispered: "My lord, only Xu Li survived, but his injuries are too serious, and he is still not awake yet."

Zhao Kuo gently broke away from his mother's embrace and said, "Mother, son, go and see Xu Changshi."

A moment later, Zhao Kuo saw Xu Li, who was covered in bandages all over his body, had at least dozens of wounds, large and small, and was extremely injured.

Xu Li's breathing was extremely weak, like a gossamer.

A retainer said softly: "The doctor said, the main thing is to see if you can wake up.

Even if you wake up, you can survive the gate of hell. If you can't survive it, it will be difficult. "

Zhao Kuo looked up at the retainer and said, "Is that what the doctor said?"

Under Zhao Kuo's gaze, the retainer finally told the truth: "The doctor said that the corpse can actually be collected."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "No.

Xu Li rescued me with all his might, how could I just watch him die like this?

Come, call the doctor! "

A moment later, a doctor appeared in front of Zhao Kuo, nodded and bowed: "I met Zhao Qing."

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out something and put it in the hands of the doctor: "This thing is called ginseng, you use it to make medicinal soup immediately, and then pour it into Xu Li, remember not to use too much!"

"Ginseng?"

The doctor looked blankly: "Here, I have been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never heard of this medicine. Zhao Qing, look at it." Zhao Kuo looked at the doctor coldly: "If you want to do it, do it!"

The Shangdang ginseng produced in Shangdang County is one of the best quality ginseng varieties in ancient China, and the battlefield of the Battle of Changping is the production area of ​​Shangdang ginseng.

The ancients of this era did not know the magical effect of ginseng at all, so Zhao Kuo not only had ginseng, but also a large number of ginseng, all of which were wild and high-quality ginseng that had been around for hundreds of years or even hundreds of years.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Kuo brought these wild ginseng back to modern times, he would be a billionaire in an instant.

Ginseng is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "Treating all deficiency syndromes in men and women, fever, spontaneous sweating, dizziness, vomiting blood, coughing blood, bleeding, bleeding, metrorrhagia, prenatal and postpartum diseases."

The Book of Materia Medica is even more straightforward: "Ginseng can restore yang energy to the dead, but it is evil to the deficiency, and its indications are also to nourish the five internal organs."

If ginseng can't save Xu Li, then Zhao Kuo feels that there is no medicine in this world that can do it.

After the old doctor walked out of the room, he shook his head and muttered: "I'm afraid Zhao Qing is out of breath and out of her mind, can a medicine that she has never heard of be able to revive such a seriously injured and dying person?

If this is the case, is it true that the old man has been treating diseases for nothing in the past few decades? "

Whispering, the most famous doctor in Handan City still didn't dare to disobey Zhao Kuo's order, and went to boil medicine obediently.

Zhao Kuo was not idle, there was a raging anger burning in his heart, driving him to act.

First the meritorious service, and then the assassination, if this revenge is not reported, how can they be worthy of those Zhao family guards who died heroically in order to protect Zhao Kuo, how can they be worthy of Xu Li's injuries, large and small?

Half an hour after Zhao Kuo woke up, he came to the official office of the Handan Order.

Handan Commander Zhou Shaofen immediately went out to welcome Zhao Kuo upon hearing the words, respectfully invited Zhao Kuo to sit down in the lobby, and said with an apologetic smile: "I heard that Zhao Qing was assassinated, and I am really worried. Now that Zhao Qing is fine, I am relieved." gone."

Zhou Shaofen is only a senior doctor, and Zhao Kuo is a senior minister. There are two ranks of titles, Zhongqing and Xiaqing, between them, so of course Zhou Shaofen dare not put on airs in front of Zhao Kuo.

The assassination of Zhao Kuo had been reported to the palace, and King Zhao was extremely furious when he heard the words, and immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo did not die. If Zhao Kuo died, Zhou Shaofen's Handan Order would basically come to an end this week.

Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "Zhou Chengshou, I want all the information about the assassination."

Zhou Shaofen naturally agreed immediately and asked someone to call up the information.

Zhao Kuo was slightly surprised after reading it: "It turned out that General Lian Po rushed to rescue me?"

It is true that Zhao Kuo was assassinated just after he left Lian Po's general office, and it is only natural that Lian Po arrived first, but Zhao Kuo did not expect that Lian Po would be able to return immediately after a quarrel with him. Bring someone to save yourself.

It seems that the friendship in battle during Changping was indeed not useless.

After continuing to read, Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "The slogan that the assassin yelled before he died, does it mean that the Koreans sent it?"

Zhou Shaofen hurriedly said: "This lower official is still under investigation, but the weapons used by these assassins are indeed made in Korea, and the clothes are also very Korean-style.

The Koreans just lost Shangdang because of Zhao Qing's victory in Changping, so they also had the motive to assassinate Zhao Qing. "

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Zhou Chengshou, you are wrong, the assassin is definitely not Korean."

Zhou Shaofen froze for a moment, and said, "How did Zhao Qing know?"

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "It's a very simple judgment. South Korea doesn't dare to start a war with our Zhao country at all, so if the assassin is really Korean, he will definitely not wear Korean clothes, let alone use Korean weapons."

Zhou Shaofen immediately understood: "What Zhao Qing means is that this is a case of other countries framing South Korea?"

Zhao Kuo nodded: "Not only that, I also know which country launched the assassination."

Zhou Shaofen hurriedly asked: "I also ask Zhao Qing to give some advice to the next official, so that the next official can solve the case as soon as possible."

Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "These assassins are from the Qin Kingdom, and they are the most elite Qin Ruishi in the Qin Kingdom!"

"Qin Ruishi?"

Zhou Shaofen's body shook, and he said, "Is there a Qin Ruishi who is known as an elite?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Exactly! I have fought against them in Changping, and I am very familiar with Qin Ruishi's combat style."

Zhou Shaofen's eyes flickered, and he said after a while, "But how could dozens of Qin Ruishi carry weapons and sneak into Handan?"

Zhao Kuo put down the file in his hand, and showed a meaningful smile to Zhou Shaofen: "This is the responsibility of Zhou Chengshou."

Zhou Shaofen is also a fine person, upon hearing the words, he immediately dismissed the others, and said respectfully: "Please Zhao Qing teach the subordinates, so that the subordinates can solve the case as soon as possible.

As long as Zhao Qing pulls down the official, the next official will be willing to saddle up for Zhao Qing in the future, and he will do whatever he wants! "

The assassination of a high-ranking official of the State of Zhao took place in Handan City, and it was a popular hero like Zhao Kuo who was assassinated. Zhou Shaofen, the Commander of Handan, was to blame. The case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise Zhou Shaofen's official career would be over.

Zhao Kuo didn't speak, just quietly looked at the Handan Ling in front of him, recalling the identity of the Handan Ling in his mind.

It seems to be a member of the official faction, one of our own.

Zhao Kuo said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will not hide it from Zhou Chengshou.

I heard some people say that during this period of time, there seems to be a caravan in Dr. Lou Changlou's mansion. There are dozens of guards in this caravan. can be a clue. "

In fact, Zhao Kuo knew this clue two days earlier. After all, Zhao Kuo had already sent someone to monitor Lou Chang.

Why monitor Lou Chang?

Because in history, Lou Chang and his father Lou Huan betrayed Zhao Guo.

But Zhao Kuo didn't expect these guys to be so bold and reckless to assassinate himself directly.

Zhou Shaofen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully: "Zhao Qing saved the life of the lower official today, and the lower official will definitely go through fire and water for Zhao Qing in the future!"

Zhao Kuo smiled and left Zhou Shaofen's official office.

It is impossible to completely cover up the whereabouts of dozens of people, and it is easy to find flaws as long as they investigate.

Lou Chang is doomed!

Chapter 26 A Good Business?

The next morning, just after dawn, Zhao Kuo, who was still sleeping in bed, was awakened suddenly by a knock on the door.

"what's up?"

Zhao Kuo asked while getting up.

Standing outside was a steward of the Zhao residence, with an excited expression on his face: "My lord, Xu Li, Xu Li's housekeeper has woken up!"

"woke up?"

Zhao Kuo was refreshed, and the drowsiness in his mind was swept away: "Take me to see it!"

A moment later, Zhao Kuo saw Xu Li who had woken up in the same room filled with the strong smell of medicine.

Xu Li did indeed wake up, his eyes were already opened, and after seeing Zhao Kuo, he flashed a look of excitement, struggling to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Kuo: "Just wake up, just wake up! You are good!" Don't worry about recuperating, I have already found out those people, and I will definitely not let these bastards have a good time!"

Xu Li heaved a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully to Zhao Kuo, and then closed his eyes weakly.

Zhao Kuo walked out of Xu Li's room only a few steps before he was stopped by someone.

It was the old famous doctor in Handan who was in charge of treating Xu Li who stopped Zhao Kuo. The doctor said to Zhao Kuo excitedly, "Qing Zhao, the magic medicine called ginseng that you got last night Is there any more?"

Zhao Kuo frowned and glanced at the old doctor, and said, "I have to hurry to see the king in Miyagi, don't get in the way!"

The old doctor gritted his teeth and said, "To tell you the truth, Zhao Qing, I am willing to buy ginseng with money!"

The old doctor witnessed with his own eyes how Xu Li's pulse went from dying to stable and finally became sober after being infused with ginseng medicinal soup.If such a magical medicine is missed, it is simply unacceptable.

Zhao Kuo said impatiently: "A ginseng plant costs [-] yuan, I'll sell you as much as you want!"

One hundred thousand yuan is actually not a small amount. Based on the current commodity prices in Zhao country, it is not much different from the 10 yuan in later generations.

Originally, Zhao Kuo just wanted to call a high price casually to let this ignorant fellow cool off, but the old doctor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "One hundred thousand dollars a plant?

And is there an unlimited supply?

Zhao Qing, I can buy it! "

Zhao Kuo snorted, and looked at the old doctor in surprise: "You have so much money?"

The old doctor wiped off his sweat and said: "To tell you the truth, Zhao Qing, this old man has a daughter who married a merchant, Guo Zong, as his concubine. Guo Zong has always had a lot of money. As long as the old man tells him about the efficacy of this ginseng, Guo Zong will be sure." You can buy it with money.”

"Guo Zong?"

Zhao Kuo remembered a person's name, and said in surprise, "Is that the No. [-] iron-making merchant in Handan who is known as the king and the richest man in the world?"

The old doctor nodded again and again: "To tell the truth, Zhao Qing, it is this Guo Zong!"

Zhao Kuo stopped in his tracks, looked thoughtfully at the expectant old doctor for a while, and then patted him on the shoulder: "You just wait in the mansion, when I come back from the palace, there is a big business deal with you." You discuss."
