Chapter 197: Thinking of King Huai (2)

"King, we have been resting for a long time. Let's hurry up and hurry up. If we are caught by the Qin army, all our efforts will be wasted." Zhao Sui, who had been resting for a long time, forced his tired body to stand up and said to Xiong Huai who was sitting.

Xiong Huai nodded, and climbed up the old horse with Zhao Sui's support. The two continued to face the ban eastward and slowly moved forward.[]

"Zhao Sui, we have been going eastward, where will we go?" Xiong Huai asked with his eyes narrowed and looked at the east in the distance.

Zhao Sui replied, "I don't feel sorry for you. If you cross the river, you should be in Hedong. When I was in Chu, I saw the Hedong topographic map drawn by the alchemist. It used to be the territory of Wei, and one of them was occupied by Qin, and more north of Zhao was Shangdang County. So after crossing the river, we might still be in Qin, or Zhao or Wei."

Xiong Huai hummed weakly and said, "If you can choose, I hope to go to Zhao State and not to Wei State."

Zhao Sui said in surprise, "Why did the king say this? Wei and our Chu have always been intimate. The two countries are even more dependent on each other after our Chu was defeated by Qin. Zhao and our Chu are not bordered by Chu. Since Zhao Su's death, the Chu-Zhao alliance has been cut off. Moreover, even if we arrive in Zhao, we have to use Wei or Han to return to Chu. Why should the king go far away?"

Xiong Huai rarely showed a smug smile on his face and said, "You don't understand this, it depends on the person, not the country. Wei State is indeed closer to our Chu State, but Wei Wangsi is timid and afraid of Qin Ruhu. If we run to Wei State to join him, this guy might turn his hands under the pressure of Qin State and sell us."

"It's different from Zhao State. Do you know who that kid Zhao Yong is?"

Zhao Sui hesitated for a moment and replied, "I have never seen King Zhao, but I have heard that he is a resolute, brave and resourceful person, but he has been a low-key person throughout his life, and has made good friends with other countries and has not participated in the conquests of the Central Plains."

Xiong Huai laughed and said, "You don't know anything about this. I don't have any other skills, but I still have some abilities. When the kings of Xuzhou gathered together, I saw Zhao Yong in his early twenties. How could I say that the boy felt like a newborn tiger, his eyes full of rebelliousness and ambition, but he still knew the truth and advanced and retreat. I told me that among the kings who met together, I was most impressed by him."

Zhao Sui thought about it and nodded in agreement. "What the king said is that although what Zhao did over the years was not to fight with other countries, he focused on defeating the three Hus in Zhongshan and the northern part of the country, greatly increasing his territory. He also forced Qi to withdraw his troops from Yan State with the power of Qin and Wei, and even supported Ying Ji to ascend to the position of King Qin. It seemed that the mountains and rivers were not leaking, but Zhao State became the biggest winner."

Xiong Huai and Zhao Sui were detained by Qin for more than three years and were completely cut off from outside news. They did not know that Zhao Yong had abdicated, let alone the destruction of Zhongshan Kingdom and the Xingong Palace of the Great Dynasty, otherwise they would not have to think too much.

Xiong Huai sighed, "So I have seen clearly that boy Zhao Yong. He has the scheming and means. If anyone in this world is not afraid of Qin, I can guarantee that it must be this boy. He even interferes in the destruction and establishment of the King of Qin, let alone be afraid of Qin for the crime of containing us. Although our Chu State is no longer as good as before, it is also a great country with a fertile land of thousands of miles and a million armies. If he wants to go to war with Qin, our Chu State will definitely be of great help."

Zhao Sui turned around in shock, but he looked into his eyes a fierce and powerful man with a black face, staring at him fiercely. He was just a weak scholar. He had ever seen such a fierce and vicious person, and his legs were so scared that he could not speak.

The man saw that although Zhao Sui was covered in rags, his expression and posture did not look like ordinary people, but he looked like some poor and down-and-out literati and doctors, not like those thieves who were stealing. Then he looked a little slower, and he still held Zhao Sui viciously and asked, "Sleep quickly, what do you mean by peeping at the uncle?"

Zhao Sui finally calmed down before speaking: "Don't misunderstand, hero, I came to buy horses, not stealing."

The big man heard his speech and was much more polite to his tone, but he still said with some doubts. "If you buy a horse, just come in directly, why do you look out of the door?"

Zhao Sui smiled bitterly, "Because I came in a hurry, I did not ask the government to issue documents, so... I hope the hero will be able to do it for convenience." He said that he no longer spoke, but just looked at the great man, and his intention was self-evident.

The big man's head was like a shaking blow, but he just refused to say, "Just kidding, if you sell horses without documents in Qin, you will be punished by ban. Although I am a horse dealer in Zhao, I have to accept the rules for doing business in Qin. I don't want to be disabled in order to earn some money."

Ren Zhaosui begged all kinds of times, but the man just refused. Zhaosui had no choice but to say, "Heroic man, I am willing to exchange two bad horses with you with priceless treasures, how about it?"

"Priceless treasure." The man looked up and down at Zhao Sui, who was dressed in rags, and said with disbelief on his face, "What priceless treasure is there for you like this? Show me."

Zhao Sui looked around carefully before reaching out to his arms and took out a jade pendant and spread it in his palm. Although the man did not know the jade artifact, he also saw that the jade pendant was crystal clear and green, with extremely soft colors, which was definitely not an ordinary vulgar product. He was suddenly moved and thought that he didn't know how many horses he would have to sell to exchange for this treasure. It would be a pity if he missed it. Besides, he was from Zhao, and came to Qin for business. He would have to return to Zhao sooner or later. He was not so afraid of the harsh laws of Qin. If he was careful, he would not be discovered.

After hesitating for a while, the big man gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I took a risk, but you have to promise me that I can't tell you about my private selling of horses."

Zhao Sui looked at the big man with a gaze, fearing that the big man would turn against him and take him to the government immediately. You must know that the harsh Qin law has already penetrated into the hearts of the Qin people, and few people dared to offend him, so he took out Xiong Huai's beautiful jade close to him.

Seeing that the big man agreed, he smiled, nodded and put the jade pendant into his hands. The big man was also a kind person. He did not cheat after receiving the gift, but instead took two fat and strong top-notch horses to Zhaosui. After Zhaosui took it, he quickly claimed thanks and left quickly to avoid long nights of dreams.
