Chapter 411 Still Keeping

Ya Fei was wearing a light pink long dress and walked slowly towards Cheng Jiao and Xue Nu.

"You're here. It's just right. I need to find the Snow Girl for something. This saves me from making another trip."

"Sister Yafei, has something happened again?" Xue Nu was worried, as if Sister Yafei had never come to her for good news recently.

Ya Fei poured a glass of sake for Cheng Jiao and Xue Nu.

"Have you forgotten? In half a month, it will be the anniversary of Lin Xiang's death. I plan to go to Qianqiang Village."

The Snow Girl suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, I know, Sister Yafei. I will go there when the time comes and worship with you."

Cheng Jiao asked, "But is Lin Xiangru Lin Xiang?"

Ya Fei held up the wine glass and said, "Yes, this time I plan to set up General Lian Po's cenotaph next to Prime Minister Lin, so that they can keep each other company."

Snow Girl sighed and said, "Before my father suffered, he told my mother not to forget to pay homage to Lin Xiang every year. And before my mother passed away, she also told me the same thing. Lin Xiang helped my father and saved his life, but because of this, my father..."

Ya Fei placed her hand on the back of Xue Nu's hand.

"Don't think too much. This is not the fault of Prime Minister Lin. It is God's will."

She was also in a difficult situation. After all, the death of Xue Nu's father was a thorn between them.

The Snow Girl remained silent.

Ya Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Why not move your father's grave to Lin Xiang's place? What do you think?"

Snow Girl shook her head repeatedly: "No, my father has passed away and is buried with my mother. It's good enough. We can't disturb them anymore. Besides, Lin Xiang's descendants will definitely interfere."

She believed that if Concubine Ya used her status, the descendants of Prime Minister Lin would not disagree.

But his father was not the old general Lian Po, and he and Lin Xiang were only superiors and subordinates.

I'm afraid it's a seeming honor but actually a disgrace, and it's not a good thing for my father.

"I didn't think enough." Ya Fei said apologetically.

Cheng Jiao smiled and said, "I have heard of Prime Minister Lin's great name for a long time. It is a good opportunity for me to go and pay my respects to him."

Although Lin Xiangru threatened King Zhaoxiang in person, King Zhaoxiang and subsequent kings did not resent him. Instead, they admired Lin Xiangru's courage.

Ya Fei frowned slightly and said, "Sir, it's better not to do it. Many people died in Qianqiang Village in Changping."

Cheng Jiao understood, "Then keep a low profile. With my strength, I won't be recognized."

"Okay..." Yafei didn't say anything else.

The Great Sima blinked her beautiful eyes. Lin Xiangru’s tomb, Qianqiang Village, seemed to be outside the city.

The Black and White sisters had been keeping an eye on Da Siming. Seeing that Da Siming looked very happy, they knew that Da Siming had some plans. It seemed that he wanted to take the opportunity to leave the city and escape far away.

……

In the following days, Cheng Jiao accompanied Xue Nu in appreciating flowers and drinking tea, playing the piano tenderly, and from time to time he went to Yafei Pavilion to appreciate Zhao Ya and Xue Nu's Zhao dance, feeling comfortable and relaxed.

If it weren't for the occasional intelligence, he would have almost forgotten that he was on a diplomatic mission.

Handan Prime Minister's Mansion.

Guo Kai's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Cheng Jiao to be so good at hiding and stay in the post house and Yafei Pavilion.

He invited him out of the city many times, and even spent a lot of money to find more than 20 beautiful girls who were good at dancing according to Cheng Jiao's preferences, but it was useless. It really opened his eyes.

No, we can't wait any longer.

The war between Qin and Zhao to attack Yan has come to an end, and what remains is the distribution of benefits.

In other words, before long, Cheng Jiao could leave at any time.

If Cheng Jiao was really allowed to return to Xianyang, wouldn't he have to be a eunuch forever?

"Sir, there is important information."

Guo Kai quickly took the cloth and read it several times.

"But really?"

"Really? Her Royal Highness the Princess has been paying homage to Lin Xiangru every year. This year will be no exception."

Guo Kai paced a few times. Tomorrow was Lin Xiangru's death anniversary, and he remembered it very clearly.

Originally, due to Lin Xiangru's contributions, the imperial court should have sent people to pay tribute to him every year.

But under his influence, no one has mentioned this matter for nearly ten years. "Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace!"

He found his chance.

These days, he noticed Zhao Yan's murderous intention towards Cheng Jiao, and it was also because of Zhao Yan that he had to hold back and choose a dark and windy day in the city to give Cheng Jiao a quick death.

Now the attack on Yan is coming to an end.

Zhao Yan also knew that he had not destroyed the State of Yan, or rather, with the State of Qin behind him, he did not dare to advance further and could only withdraw while he was ahead.

Now it is time to take action against Cheng Jiao.

Zhao Palace.

Zhao Yan listened quietly to Guo Kai's plan.

"Your Majesty, Qin was only providing support, and they captured thirteen cities without losing a single soldier. How can we give an explanation to the men of Zhao? How about using Cheng Jiao's life to warn Qin?"

Zhao Yan's eyes were deep: "I have captured a total of 36 cities in Shanggu, Yan State, with tens of thousands of casualties, but I still want to give 13 cities to Qin State. Qin State is too greedy."

Guo Kai said happily: "Then I will go and prepare. Tomorrow we will arrange the city guards in Qianqiang Village to ambush Cheng Jiao. No matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to escape death."

"Do it covertly. Don't let anyone go who shouldn't be let go."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never let Her Royal Highness the Princess get hurt."

Zhao Yan looked at Guo Kai coldly: "After this, there will be no more traces of Luo Wang in Handan. Do you understand?"

Guo Kai said tremblingly: "Old, I understand."

As expected, Zhao Yan was keeping an eye on him. This childhood friend was really cruel.

Fortunately, he had a connection with Queen Chang, so he was not easily killed by Zhao Yan.

However, he still needs to speed up and improve his relationship with Zhao Qian. When necessary, he should join forces with Queen Chang to help him take the throne so that he will no longer be bullied by Zhao Yan.

Judging from the time, Zhao Qian should be able to get out of bed, so let's go visit him.

……

The Qin envoy's posthouse.

Guo Kai smiled and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look very good."

Cheng Jiao made a polite remark.

Working day and night, how can it be bad?

"What brings you here, Brother Guo?"

Guo Kai laughed.

"Tomorrow is the anniversary of Prime Minister Lin's death. The king ordered me to represent the court and go to pay my respects."

Cheng Jiao said casually, "It just so happens that I also plan to go with Miss Yafei to pay homage to Prime Minister Lin."

Guo Kai thought to himself, as expected.

"What a coincidence, brother, are you interested in going on a picnic in the suburbs with me after the worship? I still have those twenty or so beautiful girls who are good at singing and dancing from last time. Haha."

"Really? I was busy last time and didn't see it. I must appreciate it this time."

Guo Kai smiled, he understood it all.

If it wasn't for lowering Cheng Jiao's vigilance, he wouldn't have been kind to the guy who caused his hidden illness.

Tomorrow, I will make him kneel down and beg for mercy!
Cheng Jiao watched Guo Kai walk away with a smile.

"Tsk, are you going to take action?"

He thought that Guo Kai would wait until he left Handan City before taking action.

After all, the wilderness is vast and open, which is very suitable for launching military sieges.

Unlike in the city, there are buildings everywhere, which is only suitable for expert fighting and the army can only play a limited role.

As soon as Guo Kai returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately asked someone to invite Sima Shang, the commander of the city guards, and secretly invited Luowang's old slave to come.

They discussed together the matter of killing Cheng Jiao.
