Stunned, Han Pu asked, "What do you mean?" He was happy to see Qin in trouble, but how did this young man know that Qin would be in trouble?
Qin Song said, "Tell me, if you were the King Of Qi, would you send someone like Wang Meng as an envoy to congratulate the King Of Qin?"
"I don't think so." Han Pu thought for a moment and said, "Wang Meng can be considered a valiant general. If the King Of Qin got angry and killed him, wouldn't that be a loss?"
"Furthermore, he doesn't know any etiquette, and is boorish and tyrannical. If the King Of Qi really wanted to congratulate him, as long as he isn't as stupid as you, he shouldn't have sent him." Qin Song ignored Han Pu, who was about to explode, and said after a moment of silence, "He shouldn't be the head envoy, right? Who is the head envoy? "
Han Pu, who had been called stupid, didn't dare to hit him, but he couldn't win against him either. He said gloomily, "An unknown civil official."
Qin Song muttered, "If it's not that this civil official is not as unknown as we thought, then there must be someone else among the envoys of the State of Qi."
"How do you know?"
Qin Song said, "I once inquired about this General Wang's deeds. Although he is brave and fierce, he loses control easily. Once, after breaking into a city, he became so excited to kill that he even killed his own people who blocked his way. Sometimes, after breaking into a city, Marshal Qi simply ignored him. After a few days, when he had vented his anger enough, he would summon him back … How could such a person be controlled by an unknown civil official? If there wasn't someone who could control him, why would the King Of Qi send him to Qin? "
"Uh …" Han Pu scratched his head and said, "That seems to make sense …" However, he was more curious about how a scholar like Qin Song, who never left his home, could obtain such detailed and secret information.
"Furthermore," Qin Song continued, "although Wang Meng acted arrogantly this time, his arrogance was too restrained. This really doesn't seem like his personality. It looked like he was testing the waters step by step. He was testing the morale of the people, testing the confidence of the officials … Was the next step to test the Emperor of Qin? This time, the King Of Qi is planning something big! "
"What do you mean?" Han Pu's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "Is the Qi army going to attack?"
"Actually, it's inevitable that they will attack." Qin Song said, "It snowed heavily last winter on the prairie, many cows and horses froze to death; whether they want to fight or not is not up to them. If they win, they will bring back enough food. If they lose, enough people will die, and the remaining people won't starve to death. Therefore, they really don't need to test so carefully just for the sake of fighting … If I'm not wrong, after Daqin destroyed the three kingdoms, the King Of Qi is a bit jealous and wants to get a share of the profits! " When Daqin destroyed the three kingdoms, the Kingdom of Qi was in civil strife and couldn't even take care of itself. Now that the King Of Qi had stabilized the situation, he wouldn't let go of the good situation at hand.
"You're saying that if they find out the results of their test, they will probably invade the whole country?" Not just to plunder, but to seize territory and seize the world.
Qin Song nodded and said, "If that's the case, they will probably choose to invade from the former Wei or Korea, right? The terrain there is suitable, and there are fewer Qin soldiers stationed there … "Zhao was just destroyed two years ago, and now there was a large number of Qin soldiers stationed there.
Han Pu angrily interrupted, "How do you know that they won't attack Chu? That's a soft persimmon, okay?" His parents and brother were still in Korea!
Qin Song looked at him and said, "First, although Chu is weak, its national strength hasn't been damaged and it has been conserving its strength. It might not be as easy to deal with as the current Daqin. Second, if Qi attacks Qin, Da Chu will definitely stay at home and cheer, wishing that they would all perish together. But if Qi attacks Chu, Daqin might secretly ambush him from behind … If you were Da Qi, who would you hit?"
Han Pu didn't speak for a while, and finally said, "Do you think I should ask my parents to move?"
It wasn't easy for them to have peace for a few years, and maybe there would be a war again.
His little nephew was only three years old, and he had a sweet mouth and knew how to make people happy.
But in this chaotic world, where could they move to?
Qin Song seemed to know what he was thinking, and said lightly, "If you want to move, then move to the capital of Qin!"
"Are you kidding? We and …" Because there was a coachman outside, Han Pu didn't finish his sentence and only said, "You know what I mean."
"I'm not kidding." Qin Song looked out of the window and said lightly, "Now, there are only three countries in the world: Chu, Qin, and Qi. Chu is the weakest, and when Qin recovers, it might be destroyed. As for Qi, even if I don't like the King Of Qin, I have to say that if the world is controlled by Da Qi, it will be the world's biggest disaster."
"Why?"
"… If Da Qi controls the world, then the world will be slaves." Da Qi was originally a semi-slave country. When tribes fought, the losers would become slaves. Every year, Da Qi kidnapped a large number of people from other countries and took them as slaves. When the Qi people counted their wealth, slaves were ranked behind cows and sheep.
Han Pu cursed gloomily. He thought about killing the King Of Qin every day, and killing the King Of Qin. Did he have to protect his family in the end? What was this!
Han Pu was depressed for a while, and said, "Is there no way to stop them from fighting, or at least not so big?"
Qin Song smiled bitterly, "You really think highly of me." Yesterday, he was still a prisoner on death row! He could barely protect himself, what could he do?
Han Pu sighed and said gloomily, "Why don't I go and kill the King Of Qi and make them fight among themselves again?"
Qin Song glanced at him. This person was still so unreliable. The fighting in the royal family of Da Qi was far crueler than in other countries … If the King Of Qi was so easy to kill, he would have died many times over.
After thinking for a while, he said, "You go outside, and we will go there. If Wang Meng wants to hurt people or scare the horses … kill him!"
Han Pu widened his eyes, "Kill him? Won't killing him anger the King Of Qi? "
Qin Song said lightly, "If a person is beaten, it may be because he did something that angered the other party. But if a country is beaten, the most fundamental reason is that you are too weak."
Didn't he want to test the strength of Daqin? Then let's try!
Han Pu agreed and went out to sit on the shaft of the carriage. Then the coachman cracked the whip, and the carriage pushed the surrounding carriages aside and slowly moved forward.
After passing three or four carriages, Wang Meng's tall figure appeared on the road in front of them. As expected, he was frighteningly powerful. The surroundings were empty, and there was not a single person in sight.
The size of the sword on his shoulder seemed normal. Qin Song was thinking when the door curtain suddenly moved, and Yu Sheng quietly got on the carriage.
Qin Song turned around, "Hmm?"
Yu Sheng explained, "I took the sword to the yamen, and Wang Meng happened to be there. He wanted the yamen to search the whole city to help him catch the thief who stole the sword … When he saw me, he wanted to fight with me. I ignored him, threw the sword to him, and left. When I returned to the mansion, the gatekeeper said that you and Han Pu went to Nan 'an Teahouse, so I chased after you. "
At this moment, the carriage was already close to Wang Meng. Yu Sheng did not speak anymore. His fingers tightened on the sword, and his eyes stared at Wang Meng. He saw that Wang Meng's feet suddenly swayed, and he seemed to have inadvertently blocked the carriage's path.
"Hey, big guy!" Han Pu's lazy voice sounded from outside, "Do you have eyes? Can't you see that you're blocking the road? "
Wang Meng was used to being arrogant, and this was the first time someone dared to scold him like this. He immediately became angry, "You're courting death!"
The sword directly chopped down on his shoulder.
Han Pu sneered. Just as he was about to flip down the shaft of the carriage, he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound. Han Pu's expression changed, and he withdrew the dagger that had already been out of its sheath.
At the same time, Wang Meng suddenly turned around, and the sword that was halfway out swept horizontally. There was a loud "dang" sound, and Wang Meng's body shook and retreated half a step. At the same time, a black light was deflected, and it shot into the signboard of the restaurant next to them. It was a black iron arrow.
Then, Qin Yi's clear voice sounded, "As the saying goes, even when two countries are at war, envoys are not killed, let alone guests who came to congratulate. His Majesty thought that you were guests from afar, so he tolerated you. Who would have thought that you still did not repent! His Majesty has ordered that from today onwards, all envoys from Northern Qi are not allowed to leave the post without permission. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy! Guards! Send General Wang back! "
After Wang Meng was "sent" away, the road was quickly cleared. Qin Song glanced at Qin Yi who was standing on the windowsill of the restaurant. When he was about to close the curtain, he did not expect that Qin Yi seemed to have seen him. He smiled and said, "Qin Song, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. Come up, how about I buy you a drink?"
Qin Song smiled and said loudly, "I'll buy you a drink some other day."
Then he ordered in a low voice, "Let's go!"
The carriage had just moved a few steps when it stopped again. The curtain was rudely pulled open, and Chen Ce's cold face appeared, "Qin Song Gongzi, His Majesty summons you."
The capital of Qin was really small. It was rare for him to go out, and he met all his acquaintances. Qin Song smiled and got out of the carriage. As soon as his feet touched the ground, two imperial bodyguards came forward, one on his left and one on his right. They grabbed his wrist with one hand and pressed down on his shoulder with the other. Unfortunately, before they could get close, one of them was wrapped up by Han Pu's horsewhip and pulled away, and the other was held by Yu Sheng's dagger on his neck.
Qin Song smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ce felt that Qin Song's smile was incomparably repulsive. He said coldly, "Search me! How do I know that you don't have a hidden weapon to harm His Majesty? "
Qin Song shook his head and laughed. He said, "Lord Chen, has anyone ever told you that you …"
Chen Ce saw him pause and could not help but ask, "What?"
Qin Song continued, holding back his laughter. He said, "… is really the King Of Qin's biggest failure."
"You!" Chen Ce was furious. However, Qin Song no longer paid any attention to him. He turned around and went to the restaurant behind Chen Ce.
Qin Yi was waiting for him at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Qin Song walked to his side and the two of them walked side by side. Qin Song smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"
"It's not a coincidence." Qin Yi pretended to sigh and said, "It's just that I don't have enough face!"
Qin Song also shook his head and sighed. He said, "I originally wanted to invite you to try some good wine tomorrow, but seeing Lord Qin's expression, I think it's better if I don't invite a snub."
Qin Yi clicked his tongue and said, "When did the Qin Song I know become so narrow-minded?"
Qin Song patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll take that as a compliment!"
When he looked up, he saw Ying Zheng sitting in the private room and looking at the two of them with a sullen expression. Qin Song withdrew his hand from Qin Yi's shoulder and smiled. He said, "King Of Qin, how have you been?"
Was this the ordinary Qin Song? Ying Zheng smiled bitterly. All his memories of this young man seemed to have started from that dark torture chamber. He had no recollection of what the Qin Song was like before.
Ying Zheng suddenly did not know how to respond. He had thought of many possible Qin Song's attitude towards him. Would he avoid him? Or treat him coldly? Would he be alienated and indifferent under polite obedience? Or would he be half resentful and half grateful? But he never thought that he would see a Qin Song who talked and laughed freely and elegantly.
He became even more good-looking.
When he jumped out of the carriage, his raised eyebrows when he teased Chen Ce, and the corners of his lips when he joked with Qin Yi … They were all so beautiful. Even when he was quietly walking on the side of the road, the young man's back seemed to be more calm and elegant than others, making him unable to move his eyes away.
Was he so good-looking?
Ying Zheng found that he seemed to have never seen or understood this young man clearly.
Just when he thought that he had lost all hope, the young man who was on the verge of death after being tortured sneered at him and found a chance to survive in a hopeless situation. Just when he thought that he had gradually tamed the young man, what awaited him was the young man's merciless fatal blow. Just when he thought that he had lost all hope and was waiting for his death, the young man was still as confident as ever ….
It seemed that there was nothing in the world that could really hit him, hurt him, or control him.
Ying Zheng, who was used to having everything under his control, hated this feeling to the core. He had tried everything he could to bring Wu Qi under his control, and tried all means to leave his mark in Wu Qi's heart, but in the end, he had failed miserably.
He regretted it.
