The Meng sisters spread their figure and tried their best to cooperate with the King of Qi's dance moves. The King of Qi suddenly felt that he was a master of dancing. He smiled and danced, and was very busy.

Seeing that Su Qin was not a common man, he was as unconventional as he was, and he happily looked at Su Qin and laughed.

In the next two hours, the lobby of Tian Mansion became the exclusive stage of the King of Qi. He paused for a moment and then stood up again to dance until his mood was gone.

He was very happy, so he finally said to the sisters Su Qin and Meng: "Tomorrow evening, I will be specially invited to the Zhao delegation to the banquet to express my feelings."

After hearing this, Su Qin was overjoyed and knew that he had greatly narrowed the distance between him and King Tian Pijiang of Qi, and his chances of persuading him increased greatly. He hurriedly left the seat and thanked him. King Qi tidied up his clothes and ordered the eunuchs accompanying the palace to prepare a chariot and go back to the palace.

Su Qin and others also sent the King of Qi for a trip, and then returned to the lobby of Tian Mansion. Su Qin and Ning Jun bid farewell to Tian Tong and his son with the Meng sisters and returned to their residence. Su Qin went to the Meng sisters' room that night and gave them gold and jade again to express his gratitude.

Because the two sisters worked very hard, he was not inconvenient to disturb him anymore, so he turned around and left.

Su Qin was very excited that night. He thought that as long as he could successfully win over the King of Qi, he would completely clear the road to lobbying the princes of the East.

By then, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Yan had reached an agreement on the Union of the Zong. Even if other princes did not consider the factors of resisting Qin, they would join the ranks of the Union of the Three Kingdoms. How could this not make Su Qin very excited?

Su Qin couldn't sleep and tossed and turned on the bed, with a headache. Later, he remembered the recent method of meditation. So he got up and sat down on a few seats, slowly adjusted his breathing, and slowly felt his mood calmed down.

After about an hour, Su Qin felt sleepy and was about to get up and go to the bed to hurry up and sleep for a while. Unexpectedly, he heard a sharp whistling sound coming towards him.

Su Qin was shocked to realize something was wrong, so he quickly turned to the right, but he still did not avoid the object coming. The thing brushed over his shoulder blades, causing him unbearable pain.

Su Qin shouted: "Who is such a vicious person who makes such a despicable means!"

He screamed loudly, frightening the person coming, making him afraid to take action. At the same time, he rushed towards the door of the room, ready to fight with the person coming.

Outside the room, the attacker opened the tulle from the window and cast cold arrows inside. He heard Su Qin's shouting and was frightened. He didn't know how to escape in a hurry. When Su Qin chased the door, the attacker ran away from the window to the east courtyard wall.

Ning Jun woke up from the shouts of Su Qin and rushed out of the door in his clothes. When he and Su Qin saw that the man jumped up to the courtyard wall, they were about to escape. Su Qin was injured in his shoulder blade and blood was flowing continuously, he asked Ning Jun to chase after him. Ning Jun so he also jumped up to the courtyard wall and chased the attacker closely.

The Meng sisters were also awakened by Su Qin's shouts and came out to watch the movement. Su Qin quickly explained to them: "A man cast a hidden weapon just now and attacked me, but I have been scared away. You don't have to panic."

Seeing that Su Qin was bleeding, my sister Meng Ting hurriedly found a special cloth tape and herbs to bandage the wound, and wrapped Su Qin tightly around the wound.

My sister Meng Di was also helping her. She accidentally saw something bright in front of the window of the main house, which was very eye-catching under the moonlight, so she went up to pick it up. After looking at it, she screamed in surprise.

Meng Di handed the item she picked up to Su Qin. Su Qin carefully checked it and found that the object was a palm-sized jade pendant, which was very purity and had a green and lustery glow. Moreover, the jade pendant was engraved with a very conspicuous seal script word "Cheng", which Su Qin could not unravel the mystery.

Meng Di guessed: "It must have been the assassin just now, otherwise how could he find the jade pendant at the location where he attacked?"

Su Qin nodded, feeling something was strange, but it was impossible for such a big jade pendant to be unaware of it during the day. If no one ruled out the option that someone had left behind inadvertently, it would be the only possibility that the assassin would fall in a panic.

Su Qin returned to his house and lit the candle. He and the Meng sisters were looking for hidden weapons to cut Su Qin in the house. Meng Ting found it on the wall of the back wall. It turned out to be a sharp and short arrow with a strong attack. The short arrow cut Su Qin's shoulder and nailed it to the wall.

Su Qin looked at the short arrow carefully and found that there was nothing particularly strange. It was slightly different from the arrows he had seen, that is, the handle was a tough bamboo pole with a tip of a little more than half an inch. If this kind of arrow was used on the battlefield, it should be more powerful.

The three of them looked at the jade pendant, and I looked at the short arrows, and each of them talked about their own guesses. Meng Di felt that the assassin might be the act of the Qi State dissatisfied with Zhao and the ministers who formed an alliance with Qi, and Meng Ting also agreed with her sister's opinion.

Su Qin also felt that Meng Di’s analysis was reasonable, but she was not sure for a moment.

They chatted and waited for Ning Jun to come back, but waited around and saw Ning Jun's traces. Su Qin asked the Meng sisters to go and rest first. They said, "After this shock, I dare not leave Su Qin." Su Qin had no choice but to leave them in his room.

The next morning, Su Qin got up first, put on his clothes, washed up quickly, and rushed to Tian Tong's residence. When he arrived at Tian Tong's residence, he found that Tian Tong was already wearing court clothes and was about to go out. Su Qin hurried over and blocked Tian Tong at the door.

Tian Tong seemed very surprised and asked, "Prime Minister Su came to me so early. Could it be that something urgent has happened?"

Su Qin was stunned and thought to himself: "Is it because he looked panicked and was seen by Tian Tong? Otherwise, why would he know that he had encountered an urgent matter at once?"

Su Qin then took out a short arrow and a jade pendant and told the assassin's sneak attack that happened at his residence last night. He asked Tian Tong: "Tian Qing is in Qi State with a high position and knowledge. Can you tell from these two items who is coming to sneak attack me?"

Tian Tong looked solemn and said, "There is nothing strange about this short arrow. It is one of the common arrow branches in our Qi army. But this jade pendant is unusual. Could the word "Cheng" engraved on it indicate its origin?"

"What source? Are there people in Qi who labeled the word "Cheng"?" Su Qin asked anxiously.

"However, there is, but I dare not say anything. My younger brother, Tian Cheng, the general who is in charge of Qi's military and horses, is labeled with the word "Cheng"." Tian Tong said with some embarrassment.

When Su Qin heard Tian Cheng's name, he was immediately surprised. He knew that this man was a rare brave general in the Qi army. He fought south and north during the reign of King Wei of Qi, Tian Pijiang's father, and made great achievements. He was one of the few hardliners in the extravagant and enjoyable customs of Qi.

But he has never had any dealings with him, so why did he harm himself?

Su Qin then raised his own question to Tian Tong. Tian Tong seemed even more unable to answer clearly. He said carefully: "Tian Cheng has always opposed the alliance between Qi and neighboring countries. Could it be that he was dissatisfied when he heard that the envoys of Zhao came to Qi for peace?"

When Su Qin heard this, he felt that Tian Tong said had a very sufficient reason. He couldn't help but admire Tian Tong's justice even more. Tian Cheng was his younger brother, and he could not even favor him and had to have great courage.

Tian Tong said again: "I dare not conclude now that this jade pendant is from Tian Cheng. Otherwise, you can give me the short arrow and the jade pendant, and I will help you to investigate and investigate inside and outside. I will tell you immediately if there is a result."

Tian Tong sighed again and said, "If it was really what Tian Cheng did, I will definitely be impartial and will not let him go easily. I will give Prime Minister Su an explanation."

Su Qin respectfully handed the short arrow and the jade pendant to Tian Tong, and said gratefully: "Then Su Qin relied on Tian Qing's power to help me find out the truth. Thank you very much for Tian Qing's kindness. You are such a admired true gentleman!"

Tian Tong waved his hand and said modestly: "Where, where, I am just doing my duty. Prime Minister Su should not keep it in mind."

As Tian Tong said that, he moved forward, said goodbye to Su Qin, and went to court. Su Qin looked at Tian Tong's back and was impressed by his demeanor.

At sunset in the afternoon, the King of Qi did as promised last night, and sent the eunuchs from the palace to invite Su Qin and Meng sisters to the palace to pay a banquet and watch his band performance. Su Qin and Meng sisters quickly packed up their clothes, took the car of the Prime Minister of the Zhao State Mission, and followed the eunuchs into the palace.

Su Qin was worried about Ning Jun's movements. Seeing that he had never come back, he was worried that Ning Jun would not be able to see his figure in the evening, so he gave Zhou Shao and Wu Jing, who were left behind, so he told them to pay attention to Ning Jun's traces.

Su Qin's re-entry into Linzi Palace this time was very different from the previous time when he came with Tian Tong. He was a distinguished guest invited by the King of Qi, so before he could reach the palace gate, he was greeted and escorted by a team of neatly-shaped guards from the palace. Su Qin's carriage rushed straight into the square in the palace, and then got off the car and walked to the main hall of Linzi Palace.

The main hall is built with a large structure, with high foundations and towering stone pillars. The hall is more than three meters high and is majestic and uneven. The high walls are towering, the flying sky is bearing the colorful sky, and the flying eaves are fluttering in aligned manner.

Incense and candles were lit on the base, and there were two marble-paved sermons with bright armor on the three marble steps, and the vermilion door was open.

Su Qin followed the steps, accompanied by two beauties of the Meng sisters, and walked up to the main hall step by step. Under the leadership of the eunuch waiting at the door, he entered the hall.

Su Qin saw that the main hall of Linzi Palace was more than 30 meters wide and about twenty meters deep. If it was arranged in an orderly manner, it would be enough to accommodate three or four thousand people. The dozens of columns in the hall were arranged in a square manner, and the interior of the hall was decorated with magnificent, dazzling and terrifying.
