Ji Xueling was obsessed with the stunt "Yao Ji Dagger" and originally planned to stay in Zhongmou for only a few days. It has been almost half a month and she still has no intention of leaving.
Zhao Ling was anxious. He, a general of the border camp, decided to escort the princess and her party to Handan because of the Wei people. He didn't expect to stop moving forward as soon as he arrived at Zhongmou. Strictly speaking, he stepped out of the gate of the border camp. He left his post without permission. If Xiao Wei Mou, who he had offended, came back with his army, and the border defense camp had no commander in charge, he would really not be able to bear the consequences if something went wrong.
I was anxious but couldn't ask directly, so I had to come to Ji Jie.
Ji Jie spread his hands and said helplessly: "The princess likes the living environment here very much and wants to stay longer. I also mentioned the departure to her, but she did not make a clear response!"
Zhao Ling returned angrily.
Ji Xueling has made great progress in the use of short weapons and concealed weapons. Just when she was about to call Ji Jie to share the joy of success, she received a message: Prime Minister Guo Kaifeng was here.
The name Guo Kai is no stranger to Ji Jie. This man is very good at officialdom activities and handling methods. He is also greedy for money and lustful. The most powerful thing is his bad mouth. The Qin State spent a lot of money to bribe him twice. Both of them did not disgrace their mission. The first time was when King Zhao wanted to re-activate the veteran general Lian Po. He said that Lian Po was in poor health and had diarrhea three times after a meal and had a lot of feces, which made Lian Po unable to return to the battlefield; the second time It was the general Li Mu who defeated the Qin army and his right-hand men Sima Shang and Guo Kaijin who slandered the King of Zhao and then killed them both, which directly led to the demise of the powerful Zhao state.
This guy is a complete greedy person. Why is he here?
It stands to reason that a dignified prime minister does not need to be so enthusiastic about the declining Princess Zhou. Coupled with this person's profit-seeking character, it is not difficult for Ji Jie to think that he came here for a purpose.
When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the earth will cover them up. This is Ji Jie's consistent principle of doing things.
Guo Kai is of medium build, richly dressed, with a slightly long square face and a mustache. His face has an unconcealable ability. He has reached middle age, and as a very human minister, he has brought two generations of King Zhao was playing in the midst of applause, which showed that he had extraordinary means.
The person who greeted Guo Kai was Zhao Ling, who naturally acted as the introducer: "This is Guo Kai from our country, Guo Xiangguo, this is the general who is marrying Zhaowenjun Ji Jie of Zhou Dynasty, and this is the deputy general Sima Hui."
"I have admired Mr. Zhaowen's virtuous name for a long time, and it is truly a blessing to meet him today."
"You are so polite, Prime Minister. Your reputation as Prime Minister is as loud as a thunder. I, Ji Jie, am the lucky one in my life!"
The two exchanged a few words and sat down separately. Guo Kai said straight to the point: "A few days ago, I heard that the Zhou Dynasty's wedding party was attacked by the Wei State. The truth is really worrying for you. After that, you are safe." I was relieved after hearing the news that they had arrived in Zhongmou. My king and the prince had been waiting for half a month to no avail. When they learned that the princess had not left here, they sent me to pick her up. I wonder what decision Zhaowen Jun and the princess made?"
As the prime minister, he came here to greet him in person. If it were anyone else, he would have been so excited. Ji Jie had seen many people like this, but he still pretended to be very touched and said: "On behalf of the princess, I would like to express my gratitude." The Prime Minister will come to greet him personally. As for the departure, I have to discuss it with the princess! The Prime Minister has been working hard all the way, should he rest first?"
Ji Jie's words were accurate. Guo Kai didn't take him to heart at first. How could a boy with a smell of milk be his opponent? As for the rumors related to Zhaowen Jun Xianming, some of them were true.
What about?
"Haha, I am waiting for the decision of Zhao Wenjun and the princess!" Guo Kai behaved very seasonedly.
Finding Ji Xueling who was racing against time to practice concealed weapons, Ji Jie pulled her to the shade without any explanation, took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said: "It seems we have to leave here, otherwise Guo
I will definitely not give up."
"I don't want to leave!" Ji Xueling started acting coquettishly.
"I don't want to think about it. The food, drink and hospitality here are so good. I wonder what will happen if I go to Handan!" Ji Jie said with a wry smile: "But the current situation is that we can't leave without leaving. There is no harm in it. Sooner or later
After completing the mission, we can leave Zhao Country one day earlier, right?"
"Then after we leave here, should we find a place where no one is around to stay together for the rest of our lives?" Ji Xueling's eyes sparkled with little stars.
Seeing the longing look on her face, Ji Jie really didn't want to break her dream, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
"Okay, let's set off tomorrow!" After Ji Xueling said this, she jumped up from the stone bench and ran to her original position to continue practicing with hidden weapons.
Ji Jie shook his head helplessly. This girl made him feel more and more unpredictable. Sometimes she was quiet, sometimes she was well-behaved, sometimes she was naughty, and sometimes she was unreasonable. Are all women like this?
Guo Kai was overjoyed when he received the news that he had agreed to leave. After thanking Ji Xueling in person, he arranged a dinner as the host for Ji Jie and Sima Hui, accompanied by Zhao Ling and the city guard Zhao Sui.
Singing and dancing, the music was wafting, and a dozen dancers with top-notch figures and good looks danced gracefully in thin long skirts. Their graceful figures were clearly revealed in the dance. Guo Kai and others all looked lecherous, especially Sima Hui.
His mouth was almost watering. How could the poor Zhou have such enjoyment?
After drinking for three rounds, Guo Kai waved his hand, and two servants carried a box and placed it in front of Ji Jie. One person unlocked the box and the other opened the lid. An ingot of gold gave off a dazzling light.
Ji Jie was stunned for a moment, and Guo Kai said with a smile: "Zhao Wenjun has gone through many hardships on this trip and tried his best to keep the princess safe. This is a small reward, please accept it!"
Ji Jie performed well. Sima Hui's eyes were staring straight at the box of gold, even worse than when he was looking at the beautiful woman just now.
"Protecting the safety of the princess is my duty as a general of Zhou Dynasty!" Ji Jie said calmly: "Master Xiangguo, you don't have to do this!"
Guo Kai couldn't help but look at Ji Jie in a different light, and at the same time glanced at Sima Hui who refused to take his eyes off the gold for a long time, and said with a smile: "Jun Zhaowen is indeed worthy of his reputation. He regards money as dirt. This is what His Majesty King Zhao has rewarded you with."
, please don’t refuse!”
Did King Zhao give it to you? Are you kidding me? King Zhao can know that a nobody like me is an excuse. Ji Jie knows very well that this is his excuse, but since he said so, it’s really not good to refuse anymore. It doesn’t matter who gave it to you, I just
Just think it was given by King Zhao!
I'm taking advantage of King Zhao, so I don't have to look at your Guo Kai's face to do things, or so Ji Jie thinks.
When the two servants closed the lid of the box, Sima Hui swallowed a big mouthful of saliva in cooperation. This made Ji Jie feel very embarrassed. This guy really has never seen the world. Isn't it just a box of gold? As for this?
While enjoying the singing and dancing, drinking and chatting, several people became drunk. Guo Kai said generously: "I'm happy today. I can see that everyone likes the geishas I brought. Let's take back whichever one you like." As long as no one is killed, you can do whatever you want with the room!"
Sima Hui was the first to pounce on him, hugged a beautiful beauty and walked out, followed by the city guard Zhao Sui. Although Zhao Ling had a look of disdain on his face, he also picked one. He was just a little girl. He knew that he could not afford to offend Guo Kai, who was in a high position, so if he didn't pick on someone, it would be like refuting Guo Kai's face.
The selected Geisha struggled a little and then gave in half-heartedly. It can be seen that they often accompany guests to spend the night. This is indeed the case. Each of them was personally selected by Guo Kai. After a long period of training, they are very good in bed. It will please people.
Of course, these geishas are better at spying on information in bed. After serving a man obediently, they start talking quietly. Very few people can stick to their principles under their gentle offensive.
Ji Jie was unmoved. He was a very principled person. Even if these geishas came together, they would never get a single word out of his mouth, but they just didn't want to do it for the occasion.
And there is Ji Xueling here. If he dares to take the geisha to spend the night, there will be jealousy. That girl becomes too fast. She might just quit when she gets angry. How can he take back Wangding by himself?
"Why, is there no one Zhao Wenjun is satisfied with?" Guo Kai asked with a smile.
"They are all beautiful, but I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I cannot have sex with women until I complete the task!" Ji Jie gave his own explanation.
Guo Kai's face was full of admiration, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Zhao Wenjun always makes people admire him, I admire you so much! In this case, you all go down, let the two of us have a good chat!"
The geisha musicians stopped at the same time and retreated together. Only Ji Jie and Guo Kai were left in the huge hall.
Guo Kai came here not at the will of King Zhao, but at his own initiative, because someone gave him two boxes of gold and two boxes of jewelry two days ago. Of course, they were much larger than the box he gave to Ji Jie. The person who bribed him was not The other person was none other than Wei Mou, the great general of Wei who had just suffered a big loss.
Wei Mou is a man who must repay his flaws. After returning to the camp, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Jie should be put to death. Even people like Ji Xueling and Sima Hui could not live in the world. Only they died. That's why I got this bad breath.
So he sent someone with a lot of money to find Guo Kai and ask him for help.
As the saying goes, you use money to help others eliminate disasters. After Guo Kai received the money, he naturally wanted to do things for others, so he found an excuse to accept the errand of welcoming the princess, so as to take advantage of the opportunity. He originally wanted to set an ambush on the way back, causing The robber pretended to kill and rob, but he casually inflicted some injuries on himself and lied about fighting his way out of the encirclement with difficulty. There was absolutely no flaw he could find.
But when he saw Ji Jie, he felt that this simple trick was not working. When he was at a loss, Sima Hui's appearance made him immediately come up with another plan.
What he has to do is to bribe Ji Jie. If he can bribe him, it's best. If he can't bribe him, then he should be stabilized so that the plan can be implemented smoothly.
