Chapter 107 Murder is revealed (3)

Zhao Xin stepped down and greeted him, and bowed to the middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume and bowed to him; "I will finally follow Zhao Xin, see the King of Yan."

Ji Zhi smiled and helped Zhao Xin up, saying, "The Zhao Duwei doesn't have to be so polite. This is not the court, so everyone should be as good as you like."

Although Ji Zhi was the King of Yan, he was not Zhao Xin's monarch, so Zhao Xin was not afraid of him. Seeing that he was so reasonable, he smiled and no longer politely.

Looking at the Yan State guards not far away from the King of Yan, they looked around with their swords alertly. Dozens of guards were scattered in death and surrounded Ji Zhi in the middle. If any Zhao soldiers accidentally approached, these Yan State men with tiger backs and bear waists would stop them without hesitation. So although the people in the audience were surging, Ji Zhi was very quiet. When ordinary Zhao soldiers saw that these Yan State people were gorgeous in costumes, most of them guessed that they had a great background. They were all keen on their minds and did not provoke these Yan people.

Zhao Xin looked at these Yan State warriors. Seeing that most of them had sharp eyes and strong figures, he knew that these people were probably masters of Yan State, otherwise it would never be their turn to protect the Yan King.

Ji Zhi looked at Zhao Xin with interest in his eyes and said, "I didn't expect that Zhao Duwei was so skilled in martial arts at such a young age. He was really a hero and a young man. We are not allowed to accept our old age."

Zhao Xin smiled and bowed to Ji Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so leisurely and elegant to watch the fight?"

Ji Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I was planning to go to the Qin delegation to visit Jingyang Jun. I happened to pass by here and see it very lively. I was curious and came to join in the fun. Fortunately, this was the case, otherwise I would not have seen Zhao Duwei so brave."

"The king has won too many awards. These are just vulgar struggles, only for military entertainment, and cannot be used for the scene."

Ji Zhi shook his head, sighed, and said with emotion in his tone; "I thought so before, but today I saw that you Zhao soldiers were so passionate about this, so I understood the truth."

"I think although my Yan State is a small country, it also has 500,000 armored troops. The troops are not as weak as your Zhao State, but in terms of combat power, it is indeed far from that. In the final analysis, it is still that our Yan State has not had a strong martial style and the soldiers are too lazy. Although the big scenes you mentioned in the army competitions can greatly improve the vitality and morale of the army."

After hearing what Ji Zhi said, Zhao Xin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the lord of Yan, who was usually arrogant, would say such heart-to-heart words to him, and he felt a little suspicious. He didn't ask much at the moment, but just lowered his eyes and listened quietly.

Ji Zhi looked at Zhao Xin while talking, but he did not see the touching expression he wanted on his face, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Ji Zhi did not deceive Zhao Xin. He happened to pass by here when he was visiting Jingyang Jun. He accidentally looked at the stage and recognized that the young man who was fighting was following Zhao Xin, who had been following the master's father. He became interested and stopped and watched.

Seeing that Zhao Xin was so skillful, Ji Zhi had some thoughts and wanted to recruit him into Yan State. Although he also knew that Zhao Xin was a close minister of his master's father, he firmly believed that he would be impressed by his sincerity. As for the influence of his background and family, it was something that was completely ignored.

You should know that in the Warring States Period, the flow of talents in various countries was very frequent, as the saying goes, "There is no fixed ruler." The Wei people were prime ministers in Qin and the Chu people were generals in Qi. These were very common things. Even the people among the princes, it was ordinary to hold important positions in foreign countries. Not to mention the distance, just say that Queen Mother Mi and his two younger brothers were the Dukes of Chu, but Qin's national policy of eroding Chu was not affected at all.

So although Ji Zhi guessed that Zhao Xin's surname was Zhao, most of them were children of the Zhao royal family, he still had the intention to recruit him.

This is the particularity of the Warring States Period. Due to the long-term war tug-of-war war, the territory and territory of various countries changed very frequently. Yesterday, they were still from Chu, but today they may have been under the rule of Qin. Therefore, the national concept among scholars was very weak. The Wei people were not valued in Wei, so they naturally went to Qin and Qi to look for opportunities.

The so-called "a scholar who dies for his confidant" can be appreciated by the monarch, displayed his talents and regarded him as a confidant, which is far better than the sense of belonging brought by his family and country.

So Ji Zhi was not moved at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. However, he didn't show any expression on his face and still looked at Zhao Xin with a smile. "I am going to Qin camp. If Zhao Duwei is fine, why not accompany me on a long journey?"

Since the King of Yan had invited him, Zhao Xin naturally did not refuse. However, he couldn't understand Ji Zhi's sudden intimacy with him, but he still smiled and bowed, "Abide by the king's order."

The camp where the Qin delegation was stationed was not too far away, so Ji Zhi did not ride a horse, but walked over. On the way, Ji Zhi grabbed Zhao Xin's arm intimately, and the two walked side by side.

"Is Zhao Duwei a member of the public clan?" Ji Zhi asked with a smile on the way.

Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment and said frankly, "It's right, but because it's too far apart, the bloodline is already thin."

"Oh?" Ji Zhi smiled with interest on his face, "How far is it?"

"The last generation grandson of Xiangzi."

"Xiangzi." Ji Zhi's face was shocked and said in shock; "But Xiangzi who flooded Zhibo in the battle of Jinyang?"

"That's right." Hearing the glorious deeds of his ancestors, Zhao Xin was naturally proud, grinned, and nodded with a smile.

Ji Zhi praised, "It turns out that it was after Xiangzi. No wonder you are so outstanding at such a young age. So your family will definitely be prosperous in Zhao State."

Speaking of this, Ji Zhi's tone became unlucky, and knew that if the Zhao Xin family had a huge power in their country, it would be difficult to persuade him to leave Yan State.

But Zhao Xin shook his head and said, "Our group is not prosperous. From the generation of my grandfather, it has been a single lineage, and now only my family is left."

Ji Zhi felt aroused when he heard this, and sighed without saying a word, "I think about how wise and powerful Zhao Xiangzi was back then. If he hadn't turned the tide and persuaded the Han and Wei clans to destroy the Zhi clan, how could there be the current situation of the Han, Wei and Zhao clans. Therefore, the greatest contribution of Zhao State to establish a country and become king was Xiangzi. Unfortunately, in his later years, he was confined to the minority, gave way to his elder brother's descendants, and let his descendants die. It's really a pity, otherwise it would be bad for anyone to be King Zhao today."

Zhao Xin smiled, but couldn't say anything, but just turned his eyes forward and focused on looking at the road.

Ji Zhi's words were full of provocation, which made Zhao Xin feel alert. No matter what purpose it was, the King of Yan was condescending to the nobles and intentionally making friends with him was definitely not accidental, but had some intentions.

Seeing that Zhao Xin did not show any unwillingness, Ji Zhi shut up and stopped talking. He knew that this matter should be slow or urgent. If it was too direct, it might be counterproductive. So he stopped talking about this, but just pulled Zhao Xin and joked casually, feeling very happy.

While talking and joking, the camp of the Qin delegation had arrived. The commander of the Zhao army guarding outside the Qin camp saw that it was the commander Zhao Xin who was personally leading the people, so he hurriedly came up.

"See the Duwei." The general Zhao bowed his head and bowed slightly. Although he did not recognize Ji Zhi, he saw that Ji Zhi was dressed in extraordinary clothes and his temperament was even more impressive. He knew that this person was either rich or noble, so he bowed and bowed to bow, while Ji Zhi smiled and replied with a slight smile.

Zhao Xin nodded and asked the commander, "Is the King of Jingyang here?"

"Here, Jingyang Jun returned to the camp in the afternoon and did not go out again. I think he must be in the tent at this moment."

"Tell me the King of Jingyang, and it is the King of Yan who is here to visit."

When he heard that the middle-aged man was from Yan, the commander of Zhao's army was slightly shocked and bowed and said, "I am not sure that the king of Yan has arrived. If you offend him, please forgive me."

Ji Zhi didn't have any airs, but just smiled and helped the commander up, saying, "I have not communicated it in advance, and those who don't know are not guilty."
