Chapter two hundred and forty fifth fright night

In the fifty-fourth year of King Qin, the tenth year of King Chu, the twelfth year of King Zhao, the twenty-three year of King Han, the eleventh year of King Wei, the eleventh year of King Qi, the king of Yan... In the second year of King Yan, the king who had just succeeded to the throne, died of illness less than three years after he ascended the throne. In the three years of his succession, except for sending troops to respond to the Zhou emperor, the rest of the things he did were left to build the Great Wall. He continued to build the Great Wall on the Yan State border to protect the people on the Yan State border.

During his succession, the State of Yan finally completed the construction of the Great Wall, blocking the enemies outside the Great Wall. Of course, the people may not be very grateful. After all, this was also a heavy labor service, and even many people in Yan died. The King of Yan was not in good health, and he was very painful because of the death of his father. After only three years of reign, he hurriedly left the world. His son Xi became the new king of Yan. King of Yan Xi had the same hobbies as his grandfather and he also liked hunting.

However, he did not resist this throne. After he succeeded to the throne, he used Jiang Qu as prime minister and Ju Xun as general, intending to change the tired attitude of Yan State. Jiang Qu suggested that the King of Yan rest and recuperate, reduce taxes and labor service, and absorb the Hu people outside the border, distribute them to cultivate land, increase the household registration of Yan State, and stabilize the newly obtained Liaodong land of Yan State. However, Ju Xun proposed to raise more horses in Yan State and reward craftsmen who encouraged weapons to be made? Prepare armies.

King Xi of Yan followed their suggestions? Started to implement their plan. Jiang Qu proposed to send people to Zhao State to improve the relationship between the two countries? Can merchants from Yan State trade specialties with Zhao people? In exchange for food, they proposed to send students to the horse service to study with Zhao Kuo. King Xi of Yan agreed to him again? Jiang Qu did not appoint anyone else to rush to Zhao State in person?

After returning to his fiefdom, Mr. Pingyang returned to his fiefdom? He was surprised to find that his fiefdom was flooded... Yes, his fief suffered from floods. Before he came back? Zhao Bao was completely unaware of this matter? When he heard that Zhao Kuo was leading people to build a canal, he also sent warriors to respond to Ma Fujun's call to help build a channel, and also gave him a lot of tools? Food and stones.

He also wrote letters to his friends? He asked them to help Zhao Kuo as well.

Zhao Kuo was very grateful for his help. At the suggestion of Pingyang Jun, the canals of Zhao State were gradually taking shape. Zheng State was indeed a genius? The channels he dug in Zhao State? He calculated how to reduce the pressure brought by the flooding of rivers? And how to benefit the people and form fertile soil. Unfortunately, he was too stubborn and refused to change his original plan. He just temporarily dug several channels that were not expensive. He did not give up the rest.

Pingyang Jun stayed in his courtyard all day long and never went out. Even if a guest came to visit, he would not see him. When he was reading books loudly in the courtyard, a warrior suddenly broke in. Pingyang Jun hated being disturbed, but he did not get angry with the warrior. He slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the warrior. The warrior seemed to have come from a very far place.

But his guests did not stop him. It seemed that he was sent by Shangjun, and only the king's order could prevent his guests from stopping him.

Zhao Bao asked suspiciously: "What happened in Handan?"

The warrior was stunned. He did not expect that Zhao Bao could see his origin at a glance. However, he did not ask Zhao Bao how he knew. He hurriedly leaned over to pay his respects, and then said, "Shangjun, please return to Handan, so that others can't let others know whereabouts." Zhao Bao asked with some displeasure: "I didn't ask Shangjun's orders. I'll ask you, what happened in Handan?"

"Chang'an Jun is dead."

The warrior saw Zhao Bao trembling all over, then he looked at him blankly and asked, "What did you say?"

"Chang'an Jun is dead."

"He...he..." Zhao Bao took a deep breath, helpless. After a long time, he raised his head and asked a little sadly: "How did he die?" The warrior said seriously: "It's Ma Fujun. Ma Fujun thinks Chang'an Jun is guilty and will rush into Handan and kill Chang'an Jun. Shangjun tried his best to stop him, but he could not stop him. He also threatened Shangjun and asked Wei Wuji to give up the prime minister to himself."

"What? How is this possible? This..." Zhao Bao widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said, "Okay, until the evening, we will set off and rush to Handan... I will select a few trustworthy guests to follow me. Didn't Zhao Bu help Shangjun?"

"Shangjun once looked for him, but he did not take action and did not stop Ma Fujun's behavior."

Zhao Bao took a deep breath again. On this day, he had heard too many things, which made him a little unbearable. He sat in a daze, and tears fell down. He did not care about the warrior sitting in front of him. He covered his face and started crying, "Yue...", he called softly, and the warrior did not disturb him, but just stood aside and lowered his head. Pingyang Jun wiped his tears, and then said to the warrior: "Please let everyone in the courtyard come in."

Pingyang Jun's disciples walked in, and there were only six people, but these people were the ones Pingyang Jun trusted the most. They stood in front of Pingyang Jun and looked at him calmly. Pingyang Jun then spoke to them: "Second and third sons, Chang'an Jun was killed... I want to avenge him, please help me." The disciples said at the same time: "Vei."

Pingyang Jun began to discuss with everyone how to rush to Handan.

At night, a carriage left Pingyang Jun's mansion. These people were dressed as merchants and dressed in very simple clothes. Pingyang Jun hid among these people, disguised as a servant, lowered his head, and followed everyone. No one noticed the convoy. After leaving Pingyang, the convoy rushed towards Handan, without any rushing or slowing down, and drove like this for several days. Finally, the convoy approached Handan.

There were eight people in the convoy, except for Pingyang Jun, there were six disciples and a warrior who came from Handan.

At night, they lit a bonfire and rested on the side of the road. Pingyang Jun sat in front of the bonfire, his face gloomy and was still thinking about the things in Handan City. He had long thought of this day, but he did not expect that Zhao Kuo would take the initiative. Now Zhao Kuo is the confidant of Zhao Kuo, and it is not a simple matter to defeat him. This can be seen from the instructions of King Zhao.

The King of Zhao asked himself to rush to Handan in seclusion instead of directly proclaiming himself to Handan. This was obviously because he was afraid of Zhao Kuo's strength, or rather, he was unwilling to attract Zhao Kuo's attention. Zhao Bao was thinking about these things, but suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves. Zhao Bao hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came, and his disciples also drew out their weapons and looked in that direction.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Soon, some knights appeared in the distance. These people rushed towards Zhao Bao in a fierce manner. Pingyang Jun realized that the visitor was not good. When these people pulled out their weapons, the guests shouted and met them. Some of them untied the horse pulling the cart and handed it to Pingyang Jun, asking him to escape soon. Pingyang Jun did not hesitate, and turned over the horse and quickly fled.

He heard the shouts of killing from behind him, the roars and screams of the guests.

Pingyang Jun's heart trembled violently. The knights quickly killed Zhao Bao's disciples. There was only one disciple and a warrior from Handan, snatched the horses. The two escaped and went in different directions. However, these people obviously only wanted to take Zhao Bao's life and gave up chasing them. They just went to pursue Zhao Bao. Zhao Bao heard the wind in his ears, and couldn't see the direction clearly at night, so they just kept running wildly.

"Swoosh~~~", the enemy shot out an arrow, but did not hit Zhao Bao.

When the knights surrounded Zhao Bao from left and right and blocked Zhao Bao's way, Zhao Bao did not stop, but the knights on both sides quickly approached. The two clamped Pingyang Jun from left and right, quickly stretched out their hands, dragged Pingyang Jun to the ground, and the horse continued to run away, but Pingyang Jun fell to the ground and shouted in pain: "Who is Ersanzi? If you want goods, I can offer it to Ersanzi!"

"Mr. Pingyang, we are not here for goods."

A knight said with a smile. He lowered his head and looked at the Huayang Jun in front of him. He smiled and said, "Are you going back secretly? Ma Fujun has guessed this long ago, and we are here to kill you."

Zhao Bao suddenly calmed down. He narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Zhao Kuo? No, even if Zhao Kuo has bad intentions, he will not do anything to send people to assassinate him. You are from Qin. Do you want to use my death to destroy Zhao State?"

The knight was stunned and slowly pulled out the short sword from his waist.

"I don't understand how Qin State could make arrangements so quickly shortly after the incident of Ma Fujun happened?"

"Is it possible that there is not just a spy in the palace who is waiting for a building?"

Zhao Bao said to himself, watching the knight holding the sword and walking towards him, Zhao Bao sneered and said, "This plan is really inappropriate. No one saw me killed by Ma Fujun. How can this intensify the conflict?"

"Oh? Who said no? Two people saw it, that's enough, right?" the knight said with a smile.

"Only the warrior and the disciple know about my whereabouts, my disciple will not betray me... So, the warrior from the palace is also a spy from Qin?" Zhao Bao quickly figured it out, but he was still very calm. Seeing the knight holding up the short sword high, he cursed, "You will suffer retribution!", "Swoosh~~", Suddenly, an arrow shot from a distance and accurately shot the knight.

"There are enemies!"

This naturally caused riots. The knights looked around. Under such night, it was not easy to shoot the enemy with bows and arrows. At this moment, a group of knights emerged from a distance. They all carried bows and arrows on their backs and attacked the knights. The battle was about to begin, and the two sides fought together. However, the number of people coming came more and more, and the knights realized that something was wrong.

When they were about to turn around and kill Zhao Bao first, Zhao Bao had already ridden a horse. The knights rushed towards Zhao Bao one after another, regardless of the attacks of those people, and were determined to kill Zhao Bao. Unfortunately, they were at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers, but in the end they could not achieve their goals. Zhao Bao directly entered the reinforcements and avoided their pursuit.

The knights who were unable to complete the order could only escape quickly.

Zhao Bao wiped the blood on his face and was panting. Then, he looked at the people who saved him. These people were all elites and looked tall and strong. An old man, accompanied by everyone, walked up to him with a smile. Zhao Bao looked at him in surprise. Zhao Bao knew this person. Jiang Qu and Jiang Qu held an official position in Zhao State a long time ago. Later, he left Zhao State for some things and went to Yan State.

How could he be here?

Jiang Qu smiled and paid homage to him, then said, "If I hadn't been to Zhao State, I was just here and I heard the sound of fighting not far away. I'm afraid that Zhao State and Yan State would start a war because of this..." Jiang Qu was really scared. The distance between them camped each other was not far away, but because of the night, they had never met. If he had not discovered it in time, when he set off tomorrow morning, he happened to meet the body of Pingyangjun of Zhao State...

How can this be explained clearly!! The angry King Zhao was afraid that he would order the attack on Yan State. Jiang Qu looked at the corpses, and the warriors he brought lit up the torches. Jiang Qu said angrily: "These must be Qin people, who want to destroy the relationship between Yan State and Zhao State!" Zhao Bao narrowed his eyes. Perhaps there was this possibility, and he framed Zhao Kuo and Yan State at the same time? Isn't Fan Ju already dead?

He thought for a moment before saying, "These people pretend to be Ma Fujun and want to accuse Ma Fujun... There is a spy next to me. I'm afraid that he has already rushed back to report his life. He has to rush back to Handan before it can cause a misunderstanding!"

Jiang Qu nodded, and did not continue to rest. He directly ordered everyone to set off. He personally welcomed Zhao Bao to his carriage. The two chatted and rushed towards Handan. However, Pingyang Jun had experienced too many experiences in the past two days. He was too tired. He even suspected that Chang'an Jun's death. Maybe he was not dead, but the Qin people set such a trap if they wanted to get rid of themselves?

Or maybe these people are not Qin people, but someone else wants to get rid of themselves?

Zhao Bao didn't know the truth of the matter. After thinking for a long time, he said to Jiang Qu: "Please send a warrior to Handan to report what happened here. I am really worried that something might happen." Jiang Qu said: "Please rest assured, I have sent a warrior long ago." Zhao Bao then breathed a sigh of relief, continued to lower his head, and began to ponder. Jiang Qu seemed to have seen something, but he did not ask.

This time he came to Zhao State for Yan State, and he would never be able to participate in any conflicts in Zhao State.
