Chapter 374 Difference
The border of Yanzhao, outside Wusui City.
The forest shadows are dense and the creek gurgling.
When Yan Dan saw Gongzi Jia again, he seemed very anxious.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard about the young master's relocation?"
Yan Dan is the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, and although Gongzi Jia is the eldest son of King Zhao, he is not the crown prince. There is a difference in their status. But at this time, Gongzi Jia didn't care about etiquette anymore.
"I heard something, but I don't understand why King Zhao is angry with the young master?"
After listening to Yan Dan's words, Young Master Jia looked angry.
"It's not that bitch who is slandering my father!"
Young Master Jia Ping was very dissatisfied as he took such a big blame for no reason.
"Qian was born to that bitch woman, so he has no status at all. His father sent him to train in the army, but he was spoiled by that bitch, and he never suffered the cold and hardships of the army. He hunted every day, and was finally taken advantage of by others. But that bitch didn’t think about introspection and instead poured this dirty water on my head.”
Yan Dan felt sad when he heard this. To a certain extent, what Gongzijia encountered, Yan Dan also experienced. The King of Zhao was on guard against Gongzi Jia, just as the King of Yan was on guard against Yan Dan.
As Yan Dan grew up and his prestige in the court and the public grew stronger, Yan Chunjun was in the ears of King Yan, slandering him day by day, asking King Yan to be careful about the prince. And Yan Dan could also feel that King Yan was becoming more and more distant from him.
"Your Highness, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will play into the Qin people's hands."
When Young Master Jia said this, Yan Dan was a little surprised.
"Young Master suspects that this matter was done by the Qin State."
Young Master Jia smiled and expressed his guess.
"Although Qian is in a stateless state, he is followed by dozens of guards when he comes in and out, and is also protected by Jianghu masters supported by Guo Kai. Ordinary thieves cannot capture him. What's more, he has already revealed his identity, and ordinary Jianghu forces don't have the courage. .Except for Qin, I really can’t think of anyone who would tie him up?"
Yan Dan was thoughtful, but immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Even if the Qin State wants to disrupt the peace talks between Yan and Zhao, it should not kidnap the young master Qian. After all, what is the use of capturing him?"
Spending time capturing a young man with no real power is not as efficient as assassinating the officials in charge of Ye.
"this……"
Young Master Jia was speechless for a moment, then Yan Dan asked.
"Where did Young Master Qian disappear?"
"On the border of Zhao State, a small courtyard in the mountains near the camp of Sima Shang and Li Zuoche."
There?
Yan Dan was shocked. Isn't that place near Qianye Villa? The leader of the Mo family went out with Li Ji, but there is no news yet. Could it be related to them?
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Young Master Jia saw that Yan Dan was lost in thought and asked about it.
"Young Master, don't worry. I will do my best to help you find Qian as soon as possible. In addition, the Yan envoy's entry into Zhao can no longer be delayed. Recently, Qin's deputy envoy has been trying to see his father, but I have been holding him back. But, I'm afraid It won’t be long.”
"I see."
For Zhao State, the Yan-Zhao peace talks have huge benefits, which means that Zhao State does not have to be attacked on both sides. It’s not that King Zhao doesn’t know, it’s just that it’s difficult to do.
But this time, it may be a good opportunity.
Handan.
“It’s so prosperous here!”
Li Ji opened her eyes wide, her face was full of curiosity, and everything she saw felt novel. Compared with Weiguo Puyang, the scale of Handan is more than one order of magnitude larger. Merchant merchants from six countries gathered together, and the shops had a wide variety of goods.
A man and three women were strolling on the streets of Handan, and no one was surprised by these foreigners. After all, Zhao Ren was already used to it.
Zhao Shuang held a lot of things in his hands. After shopping with them, he returned to a small courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, only six to seven hundred square meters. However, compared with the small mountain courtyard on the border of Zhao State, it is larger and more exquisite.
The yard has a small pond. The water in the pond was clear, it was summer time, and there were a few lotus flowers floating on the water.
There are rows of green plants planted around the pond.
"Okay, I bought a house when I first came to Handan."
Concubine Yan was very happy. She thought that where to stay tonight would be a problem, but she didn't expect that Zhao Shuang had already made arrangements.
The ground in the courtyard is not a rough mud floor, but is paved with pebbles and stone bricks. The road from the courtyard gate to the house is not long, but the scenery along the way is good. The floor in the house is not made of bluestone tiles, but is covered with a wood-scented floor, which seems to have been newly made from forest trees in the mountains.
Zhao Shuang put down a lot of things he was holding and pointed to the three rooms on the left and right.
"The two rooms on this side belong to Concubine Yan and Moon God, and this side belongs to Li Ji."
The house is fully furnished and has a medium-sized bronze incense burner.
Concubine Yan looked around. This courtyard is not big, but like Xianyang, as the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, Handan, housing prices are not cheap.
"It costs at least two million dollars here. You are really rich!"
Zhao Shuang spread his hands and smiled slightly.
"Anyway, it's all your betrothal money. If you don't spend it, it won't be wasted."
When the three of them heard this, they felt unhappy. However, it was neither Moon God nor Concubine Yan who was the first to attack, but Li Ji.
As a disciple of the Mohist family, Li Ji was absolutely lawful and good among the Jianghu forces, and Li Ji took the matter of marriage very seriously.
"Zhao Shuang, please stop joking about this matter."
Facing Li Ji like this, Zhao Shuang could only nod.
"You should also put down your luggage. If you need anything, go buy it on the street."
Different from the mountains and fields, this is the city. You don't have to worry about hunting for prey every day, and you don't have to make your own clothes. Anyway, you can buy most daily necessities as soon as you go out.
Because of this, everyone has more free time. After tidying up the room, Concubine Yan walked out first and watched Zhao Shuang enjoying the cool air on the verandah outside.
"You took the trouble to capture Young Master Qian, and then just hand him over to a trap. Is it appropriate?"
"Of course it fits!"
In front of the house, there are trees planted by the pond. At this time, the shade of the trees blocked the scorching sunshine, and Zhao Shuang was enjoying the coolness.
"Can I, the noble Lord of Hanyang, be able to do such a thing? If I change it to a snare, it would be perfect. Anyway, the snare has always had a bad reputation, so it doesn't matter if there is one more."
"Then you don't want the ransom?"
Concubine Yan rolled her eyes. Why does it feel like Zhao Shuang is so skilled at setting up a trap?
"How is that possible?"
Zhao Shuang smiled and sat up.
"Anyway, King Zhao has received the first blackmail letter, and will send someone to pay the ransom soon. When the time comes, let the people who set up the trap go first, and we will wrap things up from behind."
"Why should I pass through the hand of a snare? Does it make any difference?"
Moon Goddess came from behind and asked a little strangely.
"Of course it's different." Zhao Shuang nodded, "If we go to get it directly, what's the difference between it and the net? But if we take the net and then rob the net, it's robbing the rich and giving to the poor, doing justice for heaven. Punish the evil and promote the good, hoe the strong and support the weak, and spread the wind across the world to bring righteousness to the world."
"..."
Li Ji came out of the house and sighed in her heart after hearing Zhao Shuang's words.
There are not many such shameless people in the world anymore.
