Zhao Rong's mansion is located in Dongcheng, Handan, near the city walls, with flowing water, lakes, pavilions and towers in the mansion, which is very magnificent and luxurious. Su Qin had long heard that Zhao Rong's mansion was a wonderful place in Dongcheng, but because Su Qin had very little contact with Zhao Rong, he had never entered his mansion.

Starting from the Peach Garden, within half an hour, Su Qin led the military academies through half of Handan City and came outside the gate of Zhaorong Mansion. He saw that the entrance of Zhaorong Mansion was more than three meters wide, and there were three gates left, one in the middle was more than two meters wide, enough to accommodate two carriages entering side by side.

When Su Qin arrived there, the servants who were in charge of welcoming guests at the door of the mansion quickly reported to the mansion. Soon Zhao Rong came out of the mansion. Su Qin got off the carriage, bowed to Zhao Rong, and greeted each other.

Sun Ling was arrogant by nature, and he didn't even go down the carriage. He lifted the curtain and looked at Zhao Rong coldly. Seeing that he was a burly man, seven feet tall, with a crown on his head, round in front and square in the back, it showed that he was a royal prince.

This man looked a bit thick and generous, with his beard spreading around, like iron wire, and a pair of prominent leopard eyes that looked a little scary when he smiled. He was wearing a deep dress made of brocade, which tightly wrapped around his slightly fat body, slightly bloated, and even more prominently, his size was very large, like an iron tower.

Zhao Rong's voice was particularly loud. When he greeted Su Qin, it seemed as if his greetings could be heard two miles away. Sun Ling saw Zhao Rong's rough appearance in the carriage, and secretly doubted in his heart: "Can such a rough man arrange such a fine assassination operation? Could it be that Su Qin's guess was wrong?"

Sun Ling had this suspicion, but he did not dare to relax his vigilance, because after all, he had promised Su Qin to be fully prepared and secretly reminded himself: "You should not behave like a person, it is better to be careful."

Su Qin and Zhao Rong only met a few times when they went to court, and they were not familiar with each other at all, but today it was a banquet for Zhao as the host and to invite envoys from various countries. One of them was the prime minister and the other was Zong Zheng. They were both officials in the court. Naturally, they could not be cold-faced with each other and ignored each other, which would undoubtedly lose the face of Zhao from other vassal states in the east.

Su Qin did not want to do this, and Zhao Rong did not seem to be embarrassed. Therefore, he not only went out of the house to greet him personally, but was also diligent and polite, talking and laughing at Su Qin, as if the two of them were very close to each other. In Su Qin's view, Zhao Rong's politeness was a more dangerous signal, because the more conspiracy was hidden, the more it seemed to be nothing on the surface.

Su Qin said politely: "There are many matters to be handled in my prime minister's mansion, so I came one step late. Please let Zhao Zongzheng let him go."

Zhao Rong grabbed Su Qin's hand and replied, "The Prime Minister is busy with everything he wants and is the busiest person in Zhao State. How dare I expect the Prime Minister to come early? It is the honor of your residence. It gives me Zhao Rong a face. I thank you for not having time!"

Zhao Rong said, laughing a few times, with a generous attitude. The two of them walked towards the mansion together, and Su Qin asked, "I wonder if all the guests attending tonight's banquet have arrived?"

Zhao Rong replied: "It's more than a moment before the dinner begins. Now only the prince Zhao Yong and the senior doctor Zhao Xi arrive first, and the envoys of the other princes have not seen it yet. I guess they are going to arrive on time at the beginning of the banquet. So, I'm ready to stand outside the door of the mansion to greet you."

Seeing that Zhao Rong seemed very busy, Su Qin said, "Since Zhao Zongzheng still wants to welcome the princes and envoys, I won't bother you anymore. Just do your business, I won't need you to accompany you here."

Su Qin said, taking advantage of the situation to shake off Zhao Rong's hand. He felt very awkward when Zhao Rong held his hand affectionately. Because Su Qin had learned about Zhao Rong's conspiracy in advance, it was difficult to make him pretend that he was completely fine.

He was worried that Zhao Rong would notice his uneasy and awkwardness, so he wanted to stay away from Zhao Rong for a long time. Now he finally had the opportunity and used the excuse not to disturb Zhao Rong to welcome the guests, which set aside the two of them.

Zhao Rong didn't seem to notice the inner activities of Su Qin. He followed Su Qin's refusal and took the opportunity to stop, bowed to Su Qin and said, "Then I'm more respectful than obedient than to send Prime Minister Su into the mansion."

Su Qin also bowed his hand, returned the bow, and said, "No need for Zhao Zongzheng, I can go to the banquet hall in the mansion by myself."

He observed Zhao Rong's reaction and said calmly: "I brought 200 elite soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion to ensure the safety of the banquet tonight. After all, tonight is a big banquet where guests from all over the world gather together. There are many people and mixed hands, so you must be careful."

Su Qin deliberately stared at Zhao Rong, trying to see his reaction, and found his guilty side, but he didn't see any change in Zhao Rong's face after hearing the news.

Su Qin said that he led his troops to the banquet, and his tone was not allowed to discuss, and he had a strong attitude of assigning tasks with the position of prime minister. What he was afraid of was that if he discussed it in his tone, Zhao Rong refused his arrangements.

Zhao Rong seemed to have expected it and said politely: "Although the banquet is held in my house tonight, I am a civil servant after all, and I have no power to mobilize the army. The Prime Minister was worried about the safety of the banquet and brought his troops to come. I just followed the Prime Minister's orders. Please, please!"

Su Qin heard a sour smell in Zhao Rong's tone, but Zhao Rong did not refuse and was not angry, so Su Qin naturally felt much more relieved.

He thought to himself: "I will definitely feel uncomfortable as an ordinary person when I lead my troops to Zhao Rong's mansion to have a banquet. Besides, as a prince of his royal family, it is understandable that I feel a little dissatisfied."

The moment Zhao Rong agreed happily, Su Qin was even a little dazed, feeling that Zhao Rong had no malicious arrangements tonight. "Did I think too much?" Su Qin was puzzled.

He waved to the captain who led the troops and brought the soldiers into Zhao Rong's mansion, but Sun Ling himself did not get off the car at all. Su Qin led the way for him in front of the carriage. The more than 200 people in this group, led by the housekeeper in Zhao Rong's mansion, headed straight to the place of the dinner, a two-story tower.

The banquet hall at Zhao Rong's mansion is also built next to a lake. The lake is much larger than the lake in the Peach Garden, but it is still much worse than the Mingjian Lake in the Mingjian Garden in Luoyang City.

The banquet hall was slightly weaker than his Tingfengxuan, but as Zhao Rong, he was an official in the court and fed with his salary. He could have such a grand mansion and garden in the expensive city of Handan, which could be regarded as a wealthy family with good fortune.

As for how he won so much wealth by means of his own, Su Qin could not guess these internal stories. The old nobles of these royal family members were naturally more skilled in management than ordinary people and were more convenient to make money, but there were also many down-and-out nobles, some of whom became beggars.

Su Qin also paid a little attention to the arrangements in Zhao Rong's mansion along the way. He did not envy his family's wealth, but was concerned about whether there was any place where there could be secretly set up an agency. Once Zhao Rong was exposed to the east window, the truth broke out and a mutiny broke out that night, which was unknown. Therefore, Su Qin did not dare to be careless. He has always been a thoughtful person who did not fight unprepared battles.

Su Qin walked very slowly and walked slowly towards the banquet hall. The housekeeper of Zhao's mansion was kind enough to ask Su Qin to board the carriage again. Su Qin politely declined and said, "Zhao Zongzheng's mansion is extraordinary and the scenery is pleasant, so I'll go there." The housekeeper did not force it.

When he arrived at the door of the banquet hall, Su Qin ordered the captain he brought with him: "You first arrange the school patrols you bring into the banquet hall. Remember to list them around the lobby, keep a close eye on each key point, and never leave blind spots."

The captain bowed and replied, "Abide by the Prime Minister's order!" He nervously directed the school soldiers into the lobby. Su Qin himself went to lift the curtain for Sun Ling and helped him out of the car.

The housekeeper of Zhao's mansion was surprised to see Su Qin serving someone so respectfully, and thought to himself: "What is the identity of the person in this car? Su Qin, the prime minister of the six kingdoms, can personally lift the curtain to welcome him."

When Sun Ling got out of the car, the butler saw that he was just a withered and thin old man, with white hair and fluttering, and had a bit of a fairy-like style. However, even if he was a master of Taoism and could make Su Qin so respectful, he was also of extraordinary value.

Sun Ling was not humble either. He was dozens of years older than Su Qin. In addition, he always had an arrogant temperament, so no matter what the official position of Su Qin was, he just treated him as a junior.

After Sun Ling got out of the car, he followed Su Qin and walked into the banquet hall. The banquet hall was about thirty meters wide, square, very wide, with bright windows and clean, refreshing and transparent.

When Su Qin went in, he saw that the Crown Prince Zhao Yong was already sitting in the seat on the west side, facing east and west. This seat was undoubtedly the most respected seat for tonight's banquet. There was also an empty seat next to his hand. It was obvious that Zong Zheng Zhao Rong left him with a seat.

Zhao Xi sat on the south side of the banquet hall, facing north and south. Su Qin bowed to the prince and said, "Please hello to the prince." Zhao Yong waved his hand, with no expression on his face. He and Su Qinda had some conflicts the day before yesterday, and they are still a little unhappy.

Zhao Xi was originally a level lower than Su Qin's official position, so he should have asked Su Qin first, but when he saw Su Qin, he turned a blind eye to him, as if he had not seen Su Qin, and still talked to the prince. Su Qin glanced at Zhao Xi and thought to himself: "It's better if he doesn't care about him. Everything is for the acquired alliance meeting, and tolerate him this time."
