Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"This doesn't make sense." The King of Qi still didn't believe it.

Li Anping could understand that no one would believe this easily, but he could only say,

"When the prince comes, he will surely convince you."

The King of Qi stared at him for a moment, temporarily chose to believe his words, then put away his sword and took two steps back.

Seeing that there was already a blood line on Li Anping's neck and he was bleeding, the King of Qi threw him a bottle of hemostatic medicine and asked him to apply it on his neck.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Anping took the medicine bottle, rubbed a circle of the medicine on his aching neck, and couldn't help but let out a breath.

Just now he really thought he would die like this.

The King of Qi is a really ruthless man who doesn't talk much. Talking to him is so thrilling. If you speak too slowly, it can really kill people.

"Explain." The King of Qi waited for him to finish applying the medicine and then said to him.

Li Anping simply let go, walked to a stool next to the King of Qi and sat down, then spoke in a low voice,

“Two years ago, although the master was found to have private soldiers, the emperor was still willing to give the master a chance to live, allowing him to hide his identity and live in a small place.

However, when the crown prince found out, he gave his master a suggestion, asking him to go to Chu, infiltrate the Chu royal family, gain their trust, and plan a way to cooperate with the outside world for the subsequent Chu-Zhao war..."

The King of Qi blinked, and blinked again, suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears, which was why what he heard was so unbelievable.

"The master agreed to the prince's proposal. After faking his death, the master went to the State of Chu. In the past two years, he controlled the King of Wei in the State of Chu, took away the King of Wei's military power, and also gained the trust of the emperor.

Jiang Tai was the one the master had the emperor transfer away, and the one who was replaced by Xiong Dayong was also the master's man.

The master asked me to follow him, one is to monitor Xiong Dayong, the other is to pass on information to the master, so that I can know the situation on both sides..."

The King of Qi stared at him and felt that he understood every word he said, but the more he listened, the more outrageous it seemed.

After Li Anping finished speaking, the King of Qi was still looking at him, staring at him.

Li Anping coughed lightly and asked him, "Your Highness, do you have anything to ask?"

The King of Qi nodded, then shook his head, and said nothing.

There are too many questions to ask, and I’m too lazy to ask. I’ll just wait for the prince to come.

Li Anping didn't know what he meant, so he hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously,

"May I ask why Your Highness cares so much about the Master? I thought you two didn't have a good relationship. The former Empress and Consort Xian often fought each other."

"It's not that I care about him, our relationship is indeed not good." The King of Qi paused and said, "But I owe him my life."

"...Oh." Li Anping became even more curious, but he also knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any details from the King of Qi, so he closed his mouth with determination.

The King of Qi didn't say anything either.

While waiting for the prince to arrive, the two of them remained silent until they heard a noise outside:

"I've seen the Major General!"

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you kneel down and worship him?" Zheng Qinghe said.

"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"

The soldiers outside the tent were startled and immediately knelt down and saluted Xie Jin.

When Li Anping heard that the prince was coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood up to greet him. He knelt down and said to Xie Jin who had lifted the curtain and came in,

"Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

The King of Qi also stood up and saluted Xie Jin. He looked at Xie Jin and sized him up, but did not speak. Anyone could tell that he was an unruly boy.

But in fact, the King of Qi was really too lazy to speak.

Xie Jin looked him over, then fixed his gaze on Li Anping and said to him gently, "No need to be polite, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Anping stood up, revealing the bloodstain on his neck.

Xie Jin glanced at the bloodstain, then turned his head to look at King Qi, then looked at Li Anping again and asked, "Have you told King Qi everything?"

"I deserve to die." Li Anping knelt down again. "To save my life, I have no choice but to tell the king everything."

Zheng Qinghe was still confused when he heard this. Looking at the unfamiliar Li Anping, he had no idea who he was. He could only guess that he was the prince's man.

"No problem." Xie Jin waved his hand, asked Li Anping to stand up again, and asked, "How is Xiong Dayong doing?"

"He is already on our side and will cooperate with all our actions." Li Anping said.

Zheng Qinghe, "!!"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

The general of Chu State is one of their people? !

No way, no way.

How is this possible!

"Are you sure you can control him and that he won't turn against you?" Xie Jin asked him.

"No problem." Li Anping nodded and said it affirmatively.

Zheng Qinghe once again, "!!"

Xiong Dayong is their man, so what is there to fight? !

There is no need to attack the Chu city at all, the city gates will open automatically for them.

The prince nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the King of Qi again and asked directly, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

The King of Qi shook his head.

"Do you have any requests?" the prince asked him again.

"I want to see Xie Wenyuan." said the King of Qi.

"Wait, you will see him." The prince said, "You should be able to see him in two months at the latest. If you want to see him earlier, you can be the vanguard and lead the army to meet him."

"Okay." The King of Qi agreed without any fear.

The vanguard army is the most dangerous in siege.

"...Wait!" Zheng Qinghe next to him couldn't help but interrupt again, "Um, Your Highness, Prince Qi, can you explain to me what is going on now?"

Xie Wenyuan? The former crown prince? He's not dead?!

Moreover, you want the King of Qi to be the vanguard? Prince, are you sure you have no grudge against the King of Qi? You're assigning a hellish mission right from the start!

"You are responsible for explaining it." The prince ordered Li Anping.

"General, please come this way." Li Anping took the man aside and started to attack again, shocking Zheng Qinghe so much that he almost lost half his soul.

After a long pause, Zheng Qinghe finally digested this series of explosive news, and then realized a fact:

They thought that the battle between Chu and Zhao was just to capture a city, but the prince wanted to destroy the State of Chu!

So crazy, so crazy!

Zheng Qinghe slowly turned his head to look at the prince. His eyes were frighteningly bright, and his expression was excited, even a little crazy.

"Your Highness, I request to lead the vanguard army into battle!" Zheng Qinghe knelt down with a thud and made a request to the prince.

He thought that their Zheng family would guard Funing City for generations, at least for five or six generations, but he never expected that it would end in his generation.

In such a big battle, he must take the lead, otherwise he will have regrets for the rest of his life.

"Fight to the bitter end." The King of Qi drew out his sword unhappily and pointed it at Zheng Qinghe. "You can only get this qualification if you defeat me."

"..."Zheng Qinghe.

What kind of battle is this?

He couldn't beat the King of Qi at all, it's not like he had never done that before.

"King Qi, calm down. You are a prince, how can you be a vanguard?" Zheng Qinghe said.

"It is the mission of my Yingwang Palace to destroy the Chu State. I will take the lead and have no choice but to do so."

The King of Qi was too lazy to say anything. He just tapped his shoulder with the tip of his sword, indicating that he had to be defeated.

Zheng Qinghe, ...

He just gave up!

Then Zheng Qinghe looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked him to make the final decision.

"The vanguard army will be led by King Qi, and you can be his deputy general." Prince Xie Jin said, and arranged everything.

Zheng Qinghe thanked him, still very excited, and even couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, when are we going to attack the State of Chu?"

"Don't worry." Xie Jin said, "Our soldiers and horses still have some special training to complete."

"What?" Zheng Qinghe asked curiously.

The King of Qi also looked at the Crown Prince with interest.

Xie Jin kept it a secret for a while, "You'll know tomorrow. Arrange a tent for me. I won't be returning to the city tonight."

Zheng Qinghe immediately took the order and left.

Xie Jin then said to King Qi, "Send Li Anping back again."

The King of Qi nodded, and without saying a word, he took Li Anping away. He did things very efficiently.

Xie Jin rubbed his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the King of Qi was not talkative, he did not have any extra thoughts. Moreover, he was skilled in martial arts, and if used well, he could be like a sharp sword.

-

The next day.

When the King of England woke up from a hangover, he felt as if the sky had fallen when he learned that the Prince had suddenly gone to the military camp last night.

This is a big deal, even if he is drunk, we have to pour the water on him to wake him up.

The King of England had no use for breakfast. He had a headache and rushed to the military camp on horseback in a hurry.

As soon as he arrived outside the military camp, he suddenly heard a loud bang, which scared him so much that he almost fell off his horse.

What's going on? !

How could there be thunder in broad daylight?

Could it be that because he was drunk last night and delayed the military operations, God was angry? That was not the case. The King of England felt that he did not have the nerve to do that.

Not only was he startled, but his horse was also frightened and turned around to run back.

"Uh-huh!!!"

The King of England quickly grabbed the reins and calmed the horse.

When the warhorse finally stopped, the King of England quickly jumped off the horse and shouted to his guards who were also panicking and trying to control the horses,

"Get off the horses first! Tie up the horses! Don't let them run away!"

Just a moment later, a rumbling sound was heard from the east of the military camp.

The King of England couldn't help but look up at the sky. Is the sky really going to fall?

"Hahaha...Father, you're finally here!" At this time, Zheng Qinghe rode out of the barracks on a horse with an excited look on his face, and shouted at him,

"Come with me quickly, and let's see the good things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has brought!"

"Did you hear the thunder just now?" the King of England asked him with a frown.

The King of England felt that his son had become abnormal. He used to be very calm and had never been so crazy.

Looking at his eyes again, they were blood red, which was a bit scary.

The King of England's heart skipped a beat and he was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a step back.
