Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

The two went up side by side, fighting with the Meng family father and son in a ping-pong-pong battle.

A moment later, a young man from the Meng family suddenly let out a scream, and he staggered back. A deep wound had been stabbed in his chest, and he seemed to be dead.

"Killer!!!" The next moment, the scream of the Meng family aunt resounded through the sky.

Jing Ke was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Gao Jianli, who still had blood on his sword, "Go!"

An hour later, the two had escaped far away from the village and got rid of the chasing and killing of the Meng family father and son who were furious.

Gao Jianli said to Jing Ke with a guilty face: "Brother Jing Ke, I didn't investigate for a while and killed someone by mistake, but I caused trouble for Brother Jing Ke."

Jing Ke let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "Brother Jianli acted out of righteousness for me, how could I blame Brother Jianli? It's just that once what happened today, I can't stay here any longer."

A smile flickered on the corner of Gao Jianli's mouth, and he said without losing the opportunity: "Brother Jing Ke, why don't you go to Yan Kingdom with Jianli, and Jianli can make up for it."

Under Gao Jianli's persuasion, Jing Ke pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Okay, since that's the case, then brother Jianli and I will go to Yan Country!"

A moment later, a young man from the Meng family suddenly screamed,

Chapter 641 Chu is about to perish, Qin saves him (first update)

Xianyang City.

A court meeting is unfolding in Xianyang Palace, and the atmosphere is very dignified and tense.

The topic of the court meeting this time is very simple, do you want to rescue Chu?

I don't know how many times Chu has sent envoys asking for help, but no matter judging from the number of envoys asking for help or the news from the front line, everyone will have such a feeling that Chu State wants to lost.

Not only is he about to lose, but even being directly annihilated is not impossible!

After all, the reconstruction of the capital of Chu and Ying is still far away, Chencheng has been controlled by the Han-Wei coalition forces, Shouchun has now been conquered by the Wei State, and the vast territory in the east has completely lost contact with the besieged capital Xicheng.

There is no good news at all, and the Chu people can't even find a reinforcement that can help them at this time.

The State of Qin has become the only hope of the State of Chu, at least in the eyes of all the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qin in this court at this moment.

Don't look at the constant wars between Qin and Chu in these years, but Qin has actually had a history of mutual support and close allies with Chu.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Helu of Wu appointed Sun Wu and Wu Zixu as the supreme commanders of the Wu army. He led the elite Wu army all the way to the west, defeated the Chu army one after another and captured a large area of ​​Chu's territory, and finally broke through the capital of Chu. Falling into a desperate situation about to be swallowed by the Wu State snake and elephant.

Under such circumstances, it was the Qin State who sent troops to rescue the Chu State in a difficult situation, which enabled the Chu State to avoid the disaster of destroying the country this time.

Although time has passed, when the people of Qin now mention this matter, they still have a sense of pride in their hearts that "I was kind to you back then".

Now, the state of Chu is once again facing the crisis of subjugation, and the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qin also need to make choices again.

Chu State, to save or not to save?

As Xiangbang, Yangquan Lord Michen is undoubtedly the first person to speak: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this country of Chu must be saved! It should be known that Han and Wei are allies of Zhao. After the two countries divide up the state of Chu, the power of the state of Zhao will increase even more, and then we, Great Qin, will be in danger!"

There is support, and of course there is opposition.

If there is anyone in the court of Qin State who likes to oppose Mi Chen's opinion the most, then this person is definitely not the former Prime Minister Cai Ze, but the newly appointed Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei coughed and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Yangquan's words, I think it is open to question. Although Chu State once formed a friendship with Da Qin, in recent years there have been constant wars between Qin and Chu, and they have long regarded each other as enemies. On the other hand, although Han and Wei are now allies of Zhao, they are not impossible to win over, it is better to sit back and watch Han and Wei win, and then win over Han and Wei to fight against Zhao together."

As soon as Lu Buwei said these words, Mi Chen's face immediately showed an expression of displeasure. He gave Lu Buwei a hard look, and then said: "It's just nonsense! If it is made big by Han and Wei , then in the end, they will only threaten Daqin together with Zhao Guo, so how can they be willing to fight with Daqin?"

Lu Buwei shook his head, and said, "Mr. Yangquan, have you forgotten who captured Daliang City, the capital of the State of Wei? Even King Wei himself fell into the hands of the Zhao people! How could King Yu of Wei not report such a shameful humiliation?" ? I heard that Wei Guo's envoys have arrived in Xianyang recently, Mr. Yangquan, as Prime Minister, will not be ignorant of this matter, right?"

These words immediately choked Mi Chen, because Mi Chen really didn't know anything about it.

why?Because Dianke, the highest official in charge of diplomacy in the Qin State, is Lu Buwei's man at all, this news is obviously concealed by Lu Buwei secretly, and it was not until this time that he took it out to attack Mi Chen.

Seeing that Mi Chen had nothing to say, Lu Buwei said to Zi Chu who was sitting at the top: "Prince, I think that Daqin has experienced several wars, and now it should be based on recuperation, and should not lightly use weapons, otherwise, if Daqin When Zhao Guo sent troops from the east of the river to rescue Chu, wouldn't Da Qin be in a situation where he was under the enemy again?"

Since becoming the Big Three, Lu Buwei has received instructions from Handan: "If you have the opportunity, kill Bai Qi, if you don't have the opportunity to kill Bai Qi, then Bai Qi will not be able to get any chance to lead the army. "

Lu Buwei personally didn't understand why King Zhao was so afraid of Bai Qi. After all, in Lu Buwei's view, Bai Qi was just a veteran who had been defeated by Lian Po.

But Lu Buwei is a smart man, since King Zhao has an order, he should carry it out.

From this point of view, the current Lu Buwei's execution is actually quite good.

After hearing Lu Buwei's words, Zi Chu also hesitated.

Of course, Zi Chu knew why Mi Chen advocated the rescue of Chu State, because Mi Chen himself was a member of the Chu State, and the Mi family was originally from the Duke of Chu State. Under such circumstances, Mi Chen naturally wanted to spare no effort to help the Chu State .

But Mi Chen is from Chu, Zi Chu is not.

Zi Chu's mother was Mi Chen's older sister Mrs. Huayang in name, but that was only an adoption. His real mother, Xia Jike, had nothing to do with the state of Chu.

From this point of view, in fact, Zi Chu and Chu State have no feelings for each other.

Zi Chu pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to another important minister of the Qin State who had been sitting by the side without speaking.

"Gang Chengjun, what do you think of this matter?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gang Chengjun Cai Ze.

To be honest, Cai Ze actually enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention.

It is also thanks to Mi Chen and Lu Buwei, once close friends and now political enemies, who have been fighting fiercely recently, Cai Ze can often become this kind of role that determines the world in one fell swoop.

Undoubtedly, this slowly increased Cai Ze's power and prestige in Qin's political arena.

After hearing Zi Chu's question, Cai Ze coughed and said slowly: "Prince, in my opinion, if we send troops to rescue Zhao, it will be of no benefit to our great Qin. A large number of soldiers died for the sake of the state of Chu, is this a good policy? It is worth noting to do nothing to help Chu."

Mi Chen became anxious when he heard this, and immediately shouted: "Cai Ze, Qin and Chu have a friendship for hundreds of years, do you just ignore it?"

Cai Ze shook his head, and said slowly: "May I ask Lord Yangquan, Qin and Jin had a good time in the past, what happened between Qin and Jin later?"

Mi Chen was still waiting to talk, but Zi Chu had already knocked on the table, and Shen Sheng made a decision.

"Okay, there is no need to say any more. My decision has been made. Let's put aside the matter of aiding Chu for the time being!"

Under Mi Chen's extremely disappointed expression, Lu Buwei and Cai Ze looked at each other, and there was a hint of smile in their eyes.

Chapter 642 Night Banquet (Second Change)

After the Great Court Conference dissipated, Cai Ze and Lu Buwei naturally came together.

I saw Lu Buwei whispering to Cai Ze, "Mr. Gang Cheng, I have a banquet today. I wonder if Mr. Gang Cheng would like to come to my residence?"

Cai Ze was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Since Wei Wei has asked, how can I not obey?"
