Chapter 224 Embarrassed Su Qin (10,000 over

Yan State, Jidu.

There is a mansion in Jidu. Its owner is none other than the former prime minister of Yan State. He directed a farce of Yan Xiangzizhi, who was the father of Yan King Kuai.

After Zizhi died, this huge mansion had several owners, but it was strange that none of these masters could live for five years in this mansion - it was like a curse.

So, the mansion was slowly placed here. Nearly ten years have passed, and the mansion has been covered with weeds, and even the paint at the gate has begun to fall off.

Until not long ago, a new owner entered the mansion that was said to have been cursed, which once again brought the sight of the people of Yan.

It was already dusk, and the cold autumn wind was raging in the capital of thistles, all of which was telling people that winter was coming.

The snow in Yan State is always much more morning than in the Central Plains.

A carriage drove into the mansion, and Su Qin walked down from the carriage, with a noticeable look of fatigue on his face.

The confidant manager who had been with him from Linzi came up very respectfully and whispered: "Head of the family, a guest from Zhao State is here."

Su Qin was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said, "The envoy of Zhao State is here, why don't you stop him? If the king knows it, it will inevitably be a little trouble."

At this moment, a hearty laughter suddenly came.

"Brother Zhong, long time no see!"

Su Dai appeared in Su Qin's sight.

Su Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled relievedly: "I should have thought it was yours."

The two hugged each other heavily.

When the brothers arrive, the treatment will naturally be different.

Su Qin ordered people to rectify a very sumptuous banquet and had a happy drink with the two brothers Su Dai.

It was not until both parties were in place that Su Qin brought Su Dai, who was emitting alcohol all over his body, to his study.

After drinking the sobering soup, Su Qin rubbed his dizzy head and said with a wry smile: "Oh, I'm old, I think I could drink it for three days before without falling."

Su Dai smiled and said, "Why should brother Zhong boast? My family was poor and baptized. Not to mention that it was a three-day wine, even a three-gao wine was unavailable."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Su Qin stopped smiling, looked at Su Dai in front of him, and said, "Tell me, King Zhao ordered you to go to Dayan this time, what do you mean?"

Su Dai blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Brother Zhong often spoke to me back then, saying that the technique of eroticism has been achieved, but he can only know the general trend of the world without leaving home. Why don't you ask Brother Zhong to guess what your foolish brother is doing?"

Su Qin laughed silently and reached out to touch Su Dai's forehead: "Others are the elder brothers taking the school exam, but you're good. I'm here to take the school exam. Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so what's wrong with giving some advice?"

Su Dai smiled and said, "Just asking for advice from Brother Zhong."

Su Qin reached out and knocked on the table, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and smiled and said, "It seems that your King Zhao is in trouble, and it's still a big trouble."

Su Dai's expression moved and said, "Why did Brother Zhong say that?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "You first say whether the judgment is correct for your brother."

Su Dai thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's calculate 60% of the time."

"Sixty percent?" Su Qin laughed and scolded: "I think it's ten percent!"

Su Dai laughed and said, "I wonder how Brother Zhong can see it?"

Su Qin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not simple? King Zhao is young and energetic. He has always liked to use his power to suppress others. If you go directly to Jidu to meet my king this time, it means that King Zhao must have sent something to my king, and maybe he would even humiliate Yan. But you came to see Brother Wei first, hoping to go through the Brother Wei path, which means that Zhao had something to ask for Yan. But a few months ago, Zhao had just defeated Da Yan, causing tens of thousands of soldiers to die in Gaotang, forcing my king to remove Qin Kai from his post and imprisonment. In this case, Zhao actually had something to ask for Da Yan. Isn't Zhao in big trouble? What's that?"

Su Dai nodded and praised: "Brother Zhong is indeed smart and has an insight into the overall situation in the details. He is worthy of being the pride of my Su family."

Su Qin suddenly sighed: "What is the pride of Su family, what's the use of unparalleled intelligence? Brother Zhong, I am just a useless person now. Brother, you come to find me today, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person!"

Su Dai widened his eyes in surprise: "Didn't Brother Zhong just named Yaqing by the King of Yan after returning to China? How can he be called a useless person?"

Yaqing, second only to the prime minister and Shangqing in Yan State, was a first-class important official.

Su Qin shook his head and said, "You only know one thing but not the other. That drama, Xin Sulai and Wei brother were not in the same position. Before, I was in Qi... When I replaced Da Yan in Qi, he once slandered me at a critical moment. After I returned to Da Yan, he even joined forces with Guo Wei to slander me in front of the king. As a result, although I have the name of Yaqing, I have no power at all. I can only swallow my anger in front of them all day long... Hey, looking at Da Yan for seven hundred years, there are not many Yaqings as cowardly as me!"

As he said that, a look of resentment appeared on Su Qin's face.

The problem facing Su Qin is actually to put it bluntly - a crisis of trust.

Spies are a very high-risk industry. Its high risk lies in not only being careful to deal with the dangers of the lurking country (Qi State), beingware of their own identity being exposed and sending back information in time, but also after returning to Yan State, Su Qin still finds it difficult to get the complete trust of the King of Yan.

To put it bluntly, who can prove that Su Qin had never done anything that was unfavorable to Yan when he was a spy in Qi State?

In history, many successful spies were suspected, suppressed or even died tragically after they returned to their motherland. There are many such examples.

Su Qin, who had not much history to follow at this moment, did not know that he was actually extremely lucky to be named Yaqing.

But for now, the fact that Su Qin, the Yaqing, has been obviously marginalized and is completely in name but not real is unnecessary.

What made Su Qin even more depressed was that apart from core officials like Guo Wei and Juxin who had some understanding of Su Qin's mission, most of the ministers of Yan State knew nothing about Su Qin's identity as a spy.

In the eyes of most Yan State ministers, Su Qin is a person with no character who left Yan State and ran to Qi State when he saw that Qi State was strong. Now Qi State has declined and then ran back to Yan State to hold his thighs.

This made Su Qin's originally very embarrassing position even worse, and there was not even a single person to talk to. That is, Su Dai came today, otherwise Su Qin would probably have been sick.

Su Dai was also moved by Su Qin's complaints.
