The Bright Moon Dominated the World During the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 373 Sensitive

In the palace of King Zhao, King Zhao was furious.

Under the throne, everyone was trembling, not daring to say a word, for fear that the wrath of the leader of the country would come to them.

"That's unreasonable! The money will go to the widow."

Hearing the sound of crying, King Zhao felt even more upset.

The current queen of Zhao, the biological mother of Prince Qian, is beside King Zhao, wiping tears from time to time.

"Your Majesty, you must save Qian'er!"

"What on earth is going on!"

King Zhao looked at the people below. They were all servants of Gongzi Qian.

"Your Majesty, the young master was hunting at the border a few days ago. While taking shelter from the rain, he met some women and wanted to marry them as concubines. But I didn't expect that when the young master went there with the betrothal gift, he was kidnapped by that family and has not been seen since. "

"Absurd!" King Zhao looked at the people below and waved his hand, "Pull them all down and kill them with sticks!"

There were voices begging for mercy from underneath. King Zhao ignored them and looked at Queen Zhao with his anger still lingering.

"Look at the good son you trained!"

For a time, Queen Zhao's crying voice became much quieter.

"Your Majesty, although Qian'er has been accustomed to misbehaving since he was a child, he is surrounded by dozens of guards. What ability can an ordinary gangster have to kidnap him?"

"you mean?"

After hearing what Queen Zhao said, King Zhao's pent-up anger softened a little.

"How can there be such a coincidence in the world that Qian'er happened to meet a few beautiful women while hunting? What's more, Li Mu's border army went south to defend the Qin Dynasty, and the Huns invaded the country. Most of the Zhao people in that area went south, and these people Where did it come from?”

The more King Zhao thought about it, the more suspicious he felt, but there was no target of suspicion in his mind.

But Queen Zhao is different, she already has a goal in her heart

"Your Majesty, if this matter is done by an enemy country, it will definitely not be as simple as gold and silver. What I am worried about is the internal worries of Zhao State. At this time, Gongzi Jia was very close to the Yan people and the Wei people, and even to the court. The ministers have close contacts with each other. Your Majesty, you must be careful!"

After hearing this, King Zhao waved his hand.

"Jia'er probably won't. What's more, sending him to deal with Yedi's affairs was agreed upon by everyone."

However, if Qin wanted to attack Zhao, there were only two directions.

One is to cross the dangerous terrain of Taihang and attack Zhao from north to south; the other is to enter Hanoi via Sanchuan and cross the Zhang River to besiege Handan.

The ultimate goal of Qin's war against Zhao was to capture Handan and destroy Zhao.

But for the Zhao State, there is no need to worry about the Qin State's previous march route, because there are many obstacles along the way, and there are several Zhao State military strongholds. The Qin Army left Hangu and entered Shangdang to travel across Taitai and reached Handan, which was another big circle. The situation is favorable to Zhao.

What Zhao really needs to worry about is the Qin army's next advance route. Because on this road, the Qin army could penetrate directly into the capital of Zhao State and cause a devastating blow to Zhao State.

The terrain in the south of Handan is flat and there is no danger to defend. This latter route is also the route used by enemies in the south of Zhao State to attack Zhao State for more than a hundred years.

To this end, Zhao State built the Great Wall along the Zhang River to protect the southern part of Handan. After the Qin Dynasty became powerful, it strengthened the Zhangshui defense line, built fortifications, and added military towns to defend the Qin army.

After the land of Ye was returned to Zhao, Huanshui was also included in the territory of Zhao. Relying on the water system, Zhao Jun's defense system in southern Handan became more complete. The land of Ye was already rich and had military value, so it was always valued by King Zhao.

"Your Majesty, but Gongzi Jia has long complained about your Majesty. Now that Qian'er has been captured by the gangsters, his biggest obstacle is gone. Your Majesty will be next!"

Seeing that King Zhao was deep in thought, Queen Zhao added fuel to the fire.

"What's more, there's no telling who sent this gangster!"

A touch!

King Zhao hit the table with one hand, feeling a little uneasy.

"Pass the king's order to ask Gongzi Jia to find Qian'er. If Qian'er can't come back unscathed, he can raise horses on my behalf!"

"What's going on?"

Queen Zhao returned to the harem and met Zhao Xiang Guo Kai secretly. At this time, Queen Zhao was not as weak and submissive as when King Zhao was there, and her eyes were sinister and ruthless.

"None of the people I sent to protect the young master came back. It seems that they encountered a ruthless person. But, is it really Mr. Jia who did it?"

Guo Kai had some doubts and was not sure.

"Him?" Empress Zhao smiled coldly, very disdainfully, "If he had the courage and ability, he would have become the King of Zhao long ago. Is there a place for our mother and son?"

"Who could that be?"

Guo Kai glanced at Empress Zhao, but saw the other party's cold eyes looking over.

"The noble family of the Zhao Kingdom are all hostile to our mother and son, saying that I am from a lowly background and am not worthy of being the wife of King Zhao. Why, is Mr. Guo Kai going to change his family now?"

When Guo Kai heard this, his expression changed drastically and he immediately knelt down.

"Even if I have ten thousand courages, I would not dare to kidnap the young master and threaten the king!"

"It's good that you know! Prime Minister Zhao must remember that we are in the same boat. Now the king's health is getting worse and worse. If Young Master Jia gains power, neither you nor I will have a good life."

"I understand!"

Empress Zhao waved her sleeves, walked a few steps back, sat back in her seat, and looked at Guo Kai.

"Don't you have many connections with the Qin State? Let's find out who did it?"

"I obey!"

Wei Di.

Zhao Gao sat alone on the chessboard, playing chess alone.

A carriage came quickly, disturbing Zhao Gao's peace. He frowned, and before the carriage even approached, he saw a dozen assassins in the net rushing out. The originally pure bamboo forest was filled with murderous intent.

"it's me!"

The person driving the horse was Duanshui, but he saw him driving the carriage into the small courtyard and hurriedly came to Zhao Gao.

"What's the matter?"

"My subordinates found him in Luowang's stronghold when he returned from Yedi not long ago."

A group of people carried the man out of the carriage, only to see him unconscious.

"who is he?"

At this time, Zhao Gao still had time to make his move, but when Duanshui whispered a few times in his ear, the chess piece in his hand fell to the chessboard with a clatter.

"Have you been interrogated?"

Duanshui nodded.

"It seems that he didn't know who kidnapped him, but he remembered Luo Sheng's name and seemed to put the blame on us." Zhao Gao frowned and didn't know what to do for a while. He was afraid that this was a trap set by the enemy, and the first thing that came to his mind was Zhao Shuang's name.

"Guo Kaiben had a rift with us because of the matter of the eight hundred dead soldiers. But not long ago, he took the initiative to contact us for his whereabouts. What should we do? Do we want to sell a favor to Guo Kai?"

Zhao Gao shook his head and rejected this opinion.

"I'm afraid that as soon as this person is handed over, the net will be destroyed. This is a sensitive time. The matter with Lu Buwei has not been resolved yet, so we can't give anyone any evidence."

"so what should I do now?"

"Prince Yan and Young Master Jia are planning peace talks between Yan and Zhao. This person is a sharp weapon. If used properly, he can disrupt the relationship between Yan and Zhao by surprise."

"My subordinate understands."

After Duanshui left, Zhao Gao had anger in his eyes and clenched his hands.

"Zhao Shuang, let Luo Wang clean up your shit. You are really good."
