Chapter 385 The Most Beautiful Child

Cheng Jiao lay on Meng Niang's lap, eating the fresh fruits that Meng Niang fed him, feeling a little bored.

Li Ji was playing Go with Niang Rong, and she couldn't help laughing when she heard Niang Rong mumbling a few words about Cheng Jiao from time to time.

The royal sister Sima Ming stared at the black and white young Sima Ming.

Ever since leaving Weiguo, these two girls have been trying every means to get close to Cheng Jiao whenever they have time, which is really embarrassing for her.

So much so that she didn't even have time to fool Gan Luo.

The two sisters Black and White were helpless. They wondered if the God of Destiny was sick and why did he care so much about them?

I wanted to try to seduce Cheng Jiao, but before the crucial moment came, Da Siming intervened and tricked my sisters!

The two sisters Zhuanpo Miehun were concentrating on driving the carriage and saw an increasing number of pedestrians on the official road.

"Sir, we are almost at Handan City."

Cheng Jiao became more energetic.

It’s been six days, is it finally time?

Although there was a car full of beauties accompanying me along the way, it was quite boring to stay in the car all the time.

Besides that or that...

In the suburbs, King Yan of Zhao, dressed in royal robes, stood with his hands behind his back.

Guo Kai, with a loyal face, was sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, this Chang'an Jun is obviously going to Yan State, and wants to join forces with Yan State to attack Zhao. Why should we come out to greet him? It is too detrimental to your status. Moreover, you are ill now, and it is not suitable for you to suffer here. If it is really not possible, let this old minister greet him here."

Zhao Wangyan said expressionlessly: "Last year, Chang'an Jun rejected my offer of Raoyang as his fiefdom, did not rebel against Qin with Fan Yuqi, and decisively killed Fan Yuqi. It can be seen that he is a man of character. And such a man, knowing the rift between Qin and Zhao, still came to Handan openly. Tell me, is he seeking death?"

Guo Kai, who was honest and loyal, was stunned. It seemed something was wrong...

"Your Majesty, Qin's spies have reported that Cheng Jiao has indeed accepted the mission to Yan State in the Qin court. This is obviously an acceptance of Yan State's request to jointly attack our country. Why don't we keep Chang'an Jun in Handan, treat him well, and not let him leave Zhao State."

Zhao Wangyan laughed and said, "Guo Kai, you have been living in peace for so many years and have forgotten many things. This is not good."

Guo Kai's mind was moved: "Your Majesty, do you want to take this opportunity to test Cheng Jiao's true intentions?"

King Yan of Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the convoy getting closer and closer.

"If Cheng Jiao is not a fool, he will be able to see my intention. Yan State wants to ally with Qin to attack Zhao, so why can't I ally with Qin to attack Yan and catch Yan State off guard?"

Guo Kai wiped his sweat, not because he was scared, but because he was hot. It was just a backstab, he was an old player.

"Then your Majesty, have you thought about how to stop the gossips in the court? You should know that during the Battle of Changping, our Zhao State..."

King Yan of Zhao took a deep breath. If it weren't for the Battle of Changping, the State of Zhao would not have declined to such a state.

"It all depends on whether Qin is sincere!"

He was unwilling to see Zhao State sink into decline. If Qin and Yan succeeded in uniting this time, it would be another disaster for Zhao State, which had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Years ago, Pang Nuan was defeated by the Qin State at Yaoshan. If it weren't for the accidental death of Qin's main general Meng Ao, it would probably not have been so easy for Qin and Zhao to reach a truce.

Guo Kai said admiringly: "Your Majesty is wise."

It was King Yan of Zhao who plotted against the crown prince. He risked his life to cooperate and successfully had the crown prince held hostage in Qin.

When King Yan of Zhao ascended the throne, he took advantage of the situation and became the prime minister of Zhao, second only to the king. He was not only a powerful official, but also a favorite official.

King Yan of Zhao said in a cold voice: "I still remember the unwillingness of my father before his death. I endured humiliation just to avenge the past. When Zhao rises again, I will destroy Qin!" Although he said this, he felt powerless in his heart.

The Qin State was not strong in just one aspect, but strong in all aspects.

Unlike the State of Zhao, which had military generals but no capable ministers, and had territory but no manpower, its shortcomings were too obvious.

Now the opportunity has come. As long as we unite with Qin and jointly attack Yan, seize Yan's land and population to supplement Zhao, Zhao will be able to recover in a short time.

Thinking about how the State of Yan dared to take advantage of him in the Battle of Yaoshan and was counterattacked by Li Mu, King Yan of Zhao wanted to laugh, but accidentally got angry and coughed loudly, which made Guo Kai a little worried. He kept taking care of him, fearing that Zhao Yan would die.

His wealth and honor all depended on Zhao Yan. His wife and children could die, but Zhao Yan could not die.

……

The soul turned and stopped the carriage.

Miehun reported in a low voice: "Sir, King Zhao brought all the officials to welcome us."

Cheng Jiao was playing with his fingers with Meng Niang and was stunned when he heard this. King Zhao Yan came to greet him personally?
interesting.

Cheng Jiao let go of Meng Niang's white and tender little hand and straightened his clothes.

"Let's go out together."

King Yan of Zhao had already gone out of the city to welcome him, and he could not lose the courtesy of the Qin State.

Cheng Jiao looked at the heroic King Zhao Yan and sighed.

With his strength, he could naturally see that Zhao Wangyan was physically weak, but his spirit was still strong. This was not a good sign. He was obviously overdrawing his body without knowing it, and he was taking too much supplements. No wonder he died young.

Thinking of what was mentioned in the intelligence, King Yan of Zhao sent people every year to lobby other countries to unite and resist the State of Qin.

Compared with his firm resistance against Qin, the other five countries were simply not enterprising and just muddled along!

If King Yan of Zhao had not died early, it would probably not have been so easy for Zheng Ge to unify the seven kingdoms.

Even though he looked down on King Yan of Zhao before, it was only because he knew that King Yan of Zhao's death was too funny and somewhat laughable.

As for the fact that King Yan of Zhao did not use Lian Po, Cheng Jiao expressed his understanding when he saw the intelligence that Lian Po had tried many times to rescue Crown Prince Zhao Yi, who was a hostage in Qin.

Just like Yue Fei wanted to welcome back the Second Emperor, he simply did not take the emperor seriously. If the Second Emperor came back, would he give up the throne or not?
The fact that Zhao Yan later reused Pang Nuan and Li Mu also shows that he was not unaware of Lian Po's value, but he just didn't dare to use him!
It was because Zheng Ge was so awesome that people thought his contemporary Zhao Yan was trash.

But just look at the posthumous title after his death.

The word "Xiang" in posthumous titles means being virtuous in opening up new lands, having worked hard in armor, and having made achievements in doing things.

King Zhao Daoxiang's meaning was very clear. He felt it was a pity that Zhao Yan died a little too early.

To be able to become Zheng Ge’s biggest concern, he is not an incompetent person.

However, when Cheng Jiao saw Guo Kai beside Zhao Yan, he couldn't help but smile.

With my Great Qin God of War Guo Kai, even if the four great war gods of the Warring States Period, Bai Qi, Li Mu, Lian Po and Wang Jian, gathered in Zhao State, he would not be afraid~
When Guo Kai saw Cheng Jiao smiling and nodding at him, he immediately felt a liking for him.

This Chang'an Jun is still okay. You can tell at a glance that he is the most handsome among all the officials.

Cheng Jiao bowed and said, "Cheng Jiao greets the king."

Zhao Wangyan laughed and said, "Chang'an Jun, there is no need to be so polite. Last year, I sent you a secret letter promising you a fiefdom. It's a pity that you didn't come, otherwise Raoyang would have been yours, Chang'an Jun."

Cheng Jiao grinned and wondered if King Yan of Zhao was mentally ill, as he was bringing up things that were not relevant.
