Ying Zheng waved his hand indifferently, turned to look at Wang Jian, and asked in a low voice, "Does the general think Fusu's proposal is feasible?"

Wang Jian stroked the beard under his chin, thinking about Fusu's proposal in his mind. After hesitating for a long time, he insisted: "I still think it's better to build the Great Wall first. The peace of the country is the only way for the people to be safe. The Xiongnu can't be defeated in just one or two battles." Totally surrendered."

But after he finished speaking, he raised his sword eyebrows, and in the end he relaxed and laughed, and said, "But the eldest son is right. Although the people of Zhaodi don't like me, the old Qin people, they love the land under their feet." Very much, if you can lead them to make their homeland rich, the people in Zhaojing will not be able to refuse this temptation no matter what. It is definitely much more convenient than going to the border town to repair the Great Wall. If you are from Zhao, you must be more willing to build rivers and canals instead of running Yanmenguan eats sand to help the enemy guard the country."

Ying Zheng also smiled, and said straightforwardly: "Mr. Zheng Guo needs to measure the land from the beginning and check the soil quality in Zhaojing. These trivial matters of field survey will never be completed in three to five years. Mr. Zheng Guo will not compete with the general. If people work, the general can rest assured."

Wang Jian sighed loudly on purpose, stroked his chest and said: "With the words of the king, the old minister can rest assured."

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere in the whole study immediately became much more relaxed.

King Qin and his ministers lived a comfortable life, but the elders of Zhao's clan who refused to surrender but fled to the two places, and Guo Kai, who held the Queen Mother of Zhao and Zhao Wangqian hostage, lived extremely miserable lives.

The elders of Zhao’s clan who went to Daidi are alright, their life has just become very poor, and everything needs to be started from scratch. The aristocrats of the Zhao Kingdom who came here respected them very much, allowing them to taste a little sweetness in the bitterness of their lives.

But the same thing happened to Guo Kai, who fled to the Huns, it was impossible to survive this day!

"Chan Yu, these two are the Queen Mother and the Lord of the State of Zhao, and this is Guo Kai, the High Minister of the State of Zhao." Guo Kai bowed his waist and said a little flatteringly.

The young Luan Titon frowned and looked at the weather-stained two men and a woman in tattered clothes, and smiled lightly without interest, and refused to let Guo Kai, who had given such a big gift, sit down, and said directly: "Master Zhao Guo Qing, you should know that barbarians do not welcome you, so just tell me what you have to say, I am too lazy to go around in circles with you."

The smile on Guo Kai's face froze, and he gritted his teeth secretly, but he persuaded himself in his heart that he must lower his attitude. The only one who could help him make a comeback was the powerful Xiongnu Shanyu, and the Zhao people and the Xiongnu had fought against each other for many years. There is a bloody feud between them, if I get angry with the Xiongnu Shanyu for a while, let alone ascend to a high position, I am afraid that I will even die on the grassland!

Luan Titon frowned impatiently, seeing that Guo Kai still didn't speak, he finally said wearily: "Excuse me, see off the guests."

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Guo Kai immediately raised his hand to block Luan Titon's words, and the smile on his face instantly became sacred and inviolable. In charge of the entire grassland, you don't know that visitors from afar need to be treated with great courtesy?!"

After hearing Guo Kai's words, Luan Titon's smile turned into a mocking smile, and his eyes swept up and down the three busy people with malicious intent, and said sarcastically: "Which one of the honored guests from the Central Plains didn't ride a war horse and wear a staunch sword?" Rui, you are so cold-eyed at me, and drive us out of the grassland—you dare to call yourself 'honored guests' like a bereaved dog seeking asylum, it really opened my eyes to Luan Titon."

Although Zhao Qian was arrogant and licentious, he had never been humiliated in such a face-to-face. His face was flushed with anger, and his expression was in great pain. However, he was always gagged all the way except when eating, so naturally he couldn't say anything now. Come.The Empress Dowager Zhao was born from the combination of Han people and Hu people. Her life experience can be called a legend. She is not a person with a bottom line.

But compared to the appearance of Zhao Wang's mother and son, Guo Kai showed his thick-skinned skills for many years in the court at this time. Hearing the Xiongnu Chanyu's sarcasm and ridicule, instead of loudly scolding, he smiled like a spring breeze.

He said very frankly: "At this time and at that time, since Your Majesty was beaten to the ground by my Zhao Jun, you should understand the situation of the old man now. Those who make big things don't care about small things, why should Your Majesty be with us poor people who have encountered great disasters?" care about."

Rao Luan Titon had already found out how brazen Guo Kai was, and he couldn't help being shocked by the extent of his brazenness.

Luan Titon put away the sarcasm on his face, and finally became a little interested, pointed at Guo Kai without respect and said: "Okay, I like people with peculiar personalities, seeing that you are so shameless and unique, I will give you one." Chance—tell me, what are you going to do?"

Guo Kai cupped his hands and paid homage to Luan Titon's officer, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty's mind is as broad as a grassland. I just want a place to rest so that I can take good care of the King and the Queen Mother. If the King can If I agree to the old man's conditions, the old man will definitely report all his understanding of the Central Plains to the King in return."

Luan Titon and Jieto looked at each other, and instantly understood that it was a lie that Guo said to take care of King Zhao and the Queen Mother Zhao, and it was true that he wanted to find a high-ranking job in the account of the King of the Huns.

But this is indeed a cost-effective deal!

No matter how disgusting Guo Kai is, Luan Titon has to say that he is moved by this proposal - the only problem is that Guo Kai is so proficient in "touching people's hearts", his true qualities as a courtier have been fully revealed, and he appointed such scum, Could it be unknowingly being used by him?

Luan Titon did not immediately give the answer Guo Kai needed, but showed a smiling face, pointed to the felt curtain of the large tent, and said calmly: "I still need some time to think about your proposal. Let's open a tent for them." live, and send four female slaves to take care of it.”

Seeing the young man who was very close to the Xiongnu Shanyu come forward to lead him the way, Guo Kai greeted him politely, and walked behind the man with Zhao Qian and the Queen Mother very docilely.

A smile flashed across his eyes, and he said in his heart: Although Xiongnu Shanyu did not immediately agree to the old man's request, but since he did not refuse on the spot, and sent such a confidant who was dressed in luxurious clothes and was obviously valued to guide him, then It's a sure thing!

Guo Kai was sure that he only asked for such a good condition for a shelter from the wind and rain, and the Xiongnu Shanyu would never refuse.

As long as he has the ambition to invade the Central Plains, no man who dominates Kyushu can refuse such a temptation!

Guo Kai, as a low-level official, was able to please the former king of Zhao and get the important task of Tuogu, so his ability to observe words and demeanor and figure out people's hearts is naturally extraordinary.

Along the way, he was not in a hurry to flatter him, and to get closer to him, until he stopped at the door of the felt tent, and he cupped his hands in a graceful manner: "Thank you."

He was born and raised in the grassland, and all he knows are straightforward and lovely people. The only person who is close and deep-minded is Luan Teton, who has already taken the position of Shan Yu, and he will never cheat on him. He is very unfamiliar with Guo Kai's playing hard to get, although he feels weird in his heart, but he can't see the key point.

Seeing that Guo Kai behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and polite, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, stared at Guo Kai for a long time before he realized, and said, "You guys rest, I'll send the female slave over!" and hastily Leaving and returning, I couldn't help but look back frequently at the felt tent where Guo Kai lived.

After a while, the female slaves were sent by a strong Hun woman with a strange Hung accent. Without saying much, she gave each of the four female slaves a whip, told them to take good care of them, and then turned around and left.

The Empress Dowager Zhao naturally understood what the Xiongnu said, and directly ordered the female slave: "Bring water, and prepare some clothes by the way. Aijia wants to take a bath."

The eyes of the female slaves were empty, and no personal emotions could be seen in them. They turned and left immediately after hearing the Queen Mother Zhao's order.

After confirming that they were all gone, the Queen Mother of Zhao immediately squeezed to Guo Kai's side, and said eagerly, "You tied us here just to sell our mother and son for a good price? The Ai Family has nothing to do to you!"

Guo Kai showed a simple and honest smile as always, and didn't mind Zhao Qian's presence at all. He directly twisted the face of the Queen Mother Zhao Guo who was covered with black ash so that she could see the original soft face, and said close to her ear: "You are here?" How did the Handan Palace deal with those courtiers? How will it deal with the Xiongnu Shanyu now? He is a young man, how can he not be tempted to see a beauty like you? Just hold the Xiongnu Shanyu, and let the Xiongnu send troops to restore the country of Zhao , it’s not easy to catch.”

The Empress Dowager Zhao glanced sideways at Guo Kai, and said with a sneer: "The Ai family is the elder of the Zhao family who has an affair with him, and he will never talk nonsense for the sake of that dead ghost. Even if there are hundreds of men in the Ai family, they You have to shut up too. If the Ai family has an affair with the Xiongnu Shanyu, all the tribes under the Xiongnu will immediately regard the Ai family as a mare that can be ridden by others, and everyone wants to bite the Ai family and taste the queen mother of Zhao. It’s the taste of life—don’t let the Xiongnu Shanyu restore the country for us, it’s a question of whether Aijia can live for another three to five years.”

Guo Kai waved his hand dismissively and smiled, lowered his voice and said: "You only know one thing, not the other. The old man once heard a rumor from a wandering merchant that the Xiongnu Chanyu Luan Teton He was originally very capable, but unfortunately he was not the eldest son, but the noble daughter of the Huns fell in love with him. As long as he married this noble daughter as the main wife, his position as Chanyu would be secure immediately. It is a pity that Luan Titon had a childhood sweetheart who couldn't let him go , has never agreed to the request of the noble girl. Guess what happened later? The little girl directly married herself to the state of Qin, forcing Luan Titon to lose her lover and could only seize power to marry the noble girl."

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice: "You mean, his lover is similar to me—she is also born of Han and Hu people?"

Guo Kai smiled modestly, and said softly: "Exactly, this is your opportunity, you must seize it."

The smile on the Empress Dowager Zhao's face instantly became softer, and even Guo Kai couldn't hold back her eyes, but what she asked was really unpleasant: "To be able to be with the Xiongnu as a childhood sweetheart, that little girl must have an extraordinary status. , how could she not be qualified to marry Luan Titon as the main wife?"

Guo Kai sneered: "The Xiongnu looked at the crowd, but they were nothing in front of Qin Jun and Zhao Jun. The girl's family was a barbarian who exchanged land with the Qin royal family in the early years. She was close to the Qin people. How dare they let them A noble girl married to the Huns? Do you think you are living too comfortably?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao blinked thoughtfully, and said with a charming smile, "Compared to this Xiongnu Shanyu, I am more interested in King Qin."

Guo Kai looked at the Queen Mother Zhao coldly, until she laughed uncomfortably, and then comforted her: "You have won Shanyu the Xiongnu well, and it won't be too late to see Qin Wangzheng when you return to the Central Plains."

The female slave was carrying back the bathtub at this time, and the Queen Mother Zhao immediately cleaned herself up. When she splashed water and showed her bright face like the morning glow, the female slave who had been standing on both sides with a blank face instantly opened her mouth. Shocked.

At the same time, Hu Hai nestled in Fusu's arms shamelessly, bit his collar until his saliva was all over, frowned tightly and closed his eyes and said, "No, no, big brother, I don't want it anymore!"

"Hey, bear with it."
