Emperor Qin

Yan Jiang glanced at Gao Jianli up and down, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips: "Long time no see, Brother Jianli still has the same demeanor."

"Don't call me a brother!" Gao Jianli, who was tortured by Qin Wangzheng, the first party A's father in history, was immersed in those hellish days. When he was suddenly awakened, his face was frosty, and he said unceremoniously, "You work for Tyranny The running dog, dare to come to Yan?"

"That's wrong." Yan Jiang smiled slightly, not minding the other party's hedgehog-like attitude at all, and said gently, "Although I am in Qin, I never kill indiscriminately. I also persuade the king of Qin to cultivate virtue and kill less. Brother Gao thinks he knows that."

Qingli, the dog butcher, also echoed: "That's right, Yanzi came back from the west, brought wheat beans, cotton cane, increased the benefits of grain, made food and clothing, and made paper to make cars. Such a great virtue, no less than Momeng." , gradually away from you, don't vent your anger."

Gao Jianli snorted coldly, but finally didn't say anything else. After all, it was Yan Jiang who pleaded for mercy when he offended the King of Qin in Qin State, so he saved his life.

Seeing that the storm had passed, Qingli mentioned that it was raining and snowing heavily, and asked Yan Jiang to go to his place to rest for a while, and it would not be too late to start the road when the snow was lighter.

Of course Yan Jiang would not refuse, so he summoned Huahua with a whistle, and prepared to go to Qingli's residence with them.

Huahua walked gracefully out of the woods and walked to the owner. The city was very small, and it was snowing heavily. There were very few pedestrians on the street, so there was no disturbance along the way.

Huahua's tiger body is huge, majestic and ferocious, and Qingli's eyes are very hot when he sees it. After the tiger's owner gave permission, he couldn't help touching one after another. .

Gao Jianli used to look cold and arrogant, but when he saw Qingli teasing the tiger in every possible way on the road, he was a little moved. Normally, when people see tigers fleeing for their lives, how could they touch them, so he quietly touched the tiger's ear tips with white spots, and quickly Withdraw your hand.

At this time, they had already arrived at Qingli's small courtyard.

There are a few knives and several dog skins hanging in the yard. There are carbon basins in the thatched house, and clay pots are hung on the carbon basins. The white water in it has boiled, emitting white smoke. The thick straw curtains block the wind and snow. In front of the case, Gao Jianli sat indifferently in Zhuqian, Qingli asked Yan Jiang to sit in the guest seat for a rest, poured a cup of hot wine, said that he was going out to find something to eat, and left.

As a result, the atmosphere became unilaterally awkward, while Yan Jiang was busy removing snow from Huahua's body, and then looked at His Majesty, who was sleeping in the burden of her body and knew nothing, and was slightly relieved. Looking at the new owner, as if knowing that this is its only life-saving grass.

Finally, Gao Jianli couldn't help but said: "King Qin is cruel and surly, you have great talents, no king in the world can do anything, why must you help Qin?"

"Then help who?" Yan Jiang raised his head and asked, "King Yan?"

Gao Jianli frowned and said, "Why not? Although Yan is a bitter and cold place, it is peaceful and peaceful. When Su Qin helped Yan, it was also a famous and powerful country in the world, but it lacked a strong face."

Yan Jiang chuckled, and looked at him calmly: "Brother Gao, it seems that Qin is wrong to swallow the world with the heart of a tiger and a wolf?"

"It's ridiculous! Is he still right?" Gao Jianli said angrily, "In front of him, he is easily blamed. I have been in Qin Dynasty for several years, and I have seen with my own eyes how harsh Qin's laws are. If he destroys the country, the common people will be their slaves!"

"Although it is harsh, it can survive," Yan Jiang sighed softly, and said, "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, various countries have competed for hegemony. Thirty years ago, in the battle of Changping, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured on both sides; There were more than 25 casualties. 20 years ago, Yan raised 60 troops to attack Zhao, which was destroyed by Zhao, and there were tens of thousands of casualties; 17 years ago, Wei and Zhao fought for Yecheng, and there was another war; 13 years ago, the six countries reunited... "

He listed all the big and small wars in the past 30 years one by one, and Gao Jianli's expression changed slightly. It is true. Every three to five years, the Seven Kingdoms will fight for a round, and their cities are circulated in the hands of the kings like currency. It's true. Did not hear when there was a pause.

"That being the case, if the King of Qin ruled the world, there would be no wars and the world would be peaceful, wouldn't it be great." Yan Jiang said calmly.

"The laws of Qin are strict. Besides, why can't Yan rule the world?" Gao Jianli said coldly.

Yan Jiang smiled and said, "Did you say it was the 60 Yan army that was defeated by Zhao's [-] army?"

Yan Guo’s army, it’s really a parallel importer, and after a while in Le Yi’s hands, they didn’t get up again. Lian Po’s 40 troops rubbed their opponent’s [-] on the ground, remember He didn't remember to beat him, he was beaten like a dog by Lian Po, and he dared to attack Zhao again.

Then Pang Nuan's army defeated the army of Yan State, not to mention, and went all the way north, turning Zhao's Patriotic War into Yan State's national war. This combat power is no one, so Prince Dan is saving When Qin Wang rescued Yan, he said "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", which made Qin Wangzheng feel that he was insulting Qin.

Gao Jianli couldn't say no to him, so he could only lightly pluck the string a few times, his voice was intense, which was regarded as feedback.

At this moment, Qingli brought half of the peeled sheep into the room, smiled at Yan Jiang and said, "I have heard for a long time that Yan Zi is good at all kinds of flavors, I wonder if I can meet him."

"It should be." Yan Jiang didn't procrastinate, found out his seasoning bamboo tube, took out a knife, grilled it with soy sauce, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili, and then cooked mutton soup, soaked it in rice, Make a dip.

Qingli was full of praise for eating, saying that this is the most beautiful taste in the world.

Even Gao Jianli couldn't refuse this kind of delicacy, even Gao Jianli couldn't refuse the delicious food, even half a sheep was eaten by him in one night, and there was not much left.

After a night's rest, Yan Jiang bid farewell to his master and set out on the road with the tiger, bird and dog.

Not long after he left, Gao Jianli looked at the direction he was going away with a sad expression.

"Why are you worried?" Qingli threw the dog-butcher knife in a beautiful arc in the air, then caught it, and asked softly.

"This Yan Jiang is so powerful, if he doesn't lose to you, will something bad happen?" Gao Jianli turned his head, his expression became more and more sad, "I only regret that my younger brother failed to abandon Zhuxuejian back then, otherwise he would definitely go with the two brothers."

Qingli looked calm, and said: "It's wrong, if I don't go on this trip, Ke and I will celebrate."

To be honest, he actually doesn't like Prince Dan. If it wasn't for him, how could the life of the three of them be turned upside down.

He and Gao Jianli were good friends. When the King of Qin recruited musicians from the Six Kingdoms, Gao Jianli was unwilling to be the musician of General Yan's family. He was forcibly recommended and asked to be summoned by the King of Yan. Later, he helped Prince Dan return to Yan, but he was only rewarded. Gold and silver, but nothing to the general.

Two years ago, Jing Ke traveled to the country of Yan and made friends with him. Gao Jianli was returning to the country. The three hit it off and had a great time in the capital of Yan. Unexpectedly, Prince Dan wanted to assassinate Qin. He first found the hero Tian Guang, but Tian Guang said he was old , Can't get things done, actually recommended Jing Ke.

Tian Guang told Jing Ke about it, and what's even more annoying was that he was afraid that Jing Ke should not respond, so he committed suicide in front of him.

When Jing Ke sent Tian Guang's body back, he told them that he was willing to consider this matter!

What is this all about.

……

Yan Jiang soon came to Jicheng, the capital of Yan, and skillfully released Huahua to find the Northeast girl, while he brought the dog and the bird into the city.

Even though it is winter, Jicheng is also very prosperous. Fur in Liaodong is very cheap here. There is salt near the sea, and Lin Hulou will come to buy it. The winemaking industry is also very good. The price of wine is lower than Handan. It is also slightly higher, and the iron tools are well developed. There are also plows and cattle plowing here, but the number is very small, and only big families can use them.

According to the habit, Yan Jiang found the highest restaurant and listened to the chatter of the people in the restaurant.

Most of the people who can come to the big wine shop are rich and powerful, so they often use elegant words to talk, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to understand. There are many exchanges in the land of Yanzhao, and the languages ​​are many and the pronunciations are similar. He can barely understand the conversation along the way. Some common terms.

What they talked about the most was that Prince Dan returned to the country, Qin State destroyed Zhao, Zhao Jia reestablished Zhao State on behalf of the country, and Prince Dan favored Jing Ke.

"Favour Jing Ke?" Yan Jiang was stunned.

A young man next to him snorted: "Isn't that right, I thought the prince had the appearance of a wise king, but who knew...huh!"

"Why is this?" Yan Jiang asked curiously, "I just came to Jicheng, so I don't understand what it means."

"A year ago, the crown prince took Jing Ke's talent as a servant and established him as a minister. Since then, he has built a big house for him, sent beautiful maidservants, often sleeps in the same bed, and goes in and out together." The man sneered, "But It's been a year, and I haven't seen a single contribution."

"Outstanding talent?" Yan Jiang blinked, puzzled, "Isn't he a swordsman?"

"What kind of swordsman?" The man said disdainfully, "When Jing Ke came to Yan for two years, when he was a disciple, he talked about the way of governing the country. As for swordsmanship, I have never heard of it being outstanding."
