With official status, Ji Jie, Qin Qing and his party successfully entered Zhaojing. Passing through Zhongmou City, the team stopped for a short rest.
After checking into the inn, Ji Jie and Qin Qing sat in a room on the second floor next to the window to dine. At this time, a group of soldiers passed by, followed by a prison car. The person locked in the car turned out to be Zhao Ling, who had just been promoted to general. !
Ji Jie frowned and took a closer look. The facts told him that he was not dazzled, that person was indeed Zhao Ling.
He was so proud two days ago, why is he now a prisoner? Logically speaking, he should not be like this. Zhao Ling belongs to the royal family of King Zhao. As long as he commits a crime other than decapitation, he will usually be given a lighter punishment and is rarely put in a prison car. For escort.
"Xiaojie, what's wrong?" Qin Qing is a very sensitive woman. She had already noticed the slight change in the expression on Ji Jie's face.
"Sister Qing, that person helped me!" Ji Jie pointed to the prison car and said, "If it hadn't been for the command arrow he gave me last time, I wouldn't have passed the border checkpoint so smoothly. I'm wondering if it was because of this incident that I brought him Trouble!"
Qin Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's meal time now. If I guess right, they will stop for a meal and then set off again! I will send someone to find out. If you are really implicated because of me, we will We have to help him get through this difficult time."
"Thank you, dear Sister Qing!" Ji Jie said happily.
Qin Qing's face was slightly red, and her words "Dear Sister Qing" made her feel a little embarrassed.
The news was quickly discovered. Zhao Ling was dismissed from his post for investigation for secretly releasing a wanted criminal. He himself did not admit that he had done this. Julu Hou Zhao Mu found out that he had led a team of people to chase the suspect, but he failed to catch up. But one of the general's arrows is missing.
"It seems that I really dragged him down!" Ji Jie said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for helping me, he would still be a proud general!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll find a way!" Qin Qing made a promise: "We must rescue him, it doesn't matter how much it costs."
Ji Jie originally had the idea of taking prisoners, but considering Zhao Ling's status as a royal family member, once something like this happened, not to mention there was no hope of reinstatement, he would most likely be expelled from the Zhao family tree, and his family would also be implicated. For a person of noble birth, it was a fatal blow.
Qin Qing first asked people to bribe the escorts with heavy sums of money so that they would suffer less for Zhao Ling during the escort. After arriving in Handan, he immediately reported it to the person in charge of Qin's trading company.
Handan City, the long-lost Handan City!
A group of people entered the city gate in a grand manner. Before that, Qin Qing ordered his entourage to put up the corner flag of the trading company on the carriage. Many pedestrians actually saluted the carriage, which made Ji Jie puzzled.
"Qin's Trading Company not only makes money by doing business, but also uses a considerable part of the profits to help the poor!" Qin Qing explained: "Or give them a job to support their families and be loved by everyone. "
It turns out that charity is very successful!
Qin's Trading Company in Zhao State is located in the northwest of Handan City. The people who live here are either rich or noble. Ji Jie is no stranger to this area because Guo Kai, Zhao Mu and others live here.
Ji Jie touched the huge stone lion in front of the trading company and said: "Haha, if I had known that this was Sister Qing's territory, I should have come over to say hello last time!"
Qin Qing smiled and said: "Haha, I will pass down the order. As long as it is Qin's trading company, we will respect you as a distinguished guest and obey your orders unconditionally!"
If you have a good relationship, you will have a solid base when traveling between the seven countries.
At dinner time, there were only two people, Ji Jie and Qin Qing, in the huge dining room. This was the highest protocol standard in the trading company. As for the fact that there was not even a servant, it was Ji Jie's request.
"Xiaojie, you have something to tell me, right?" Qin Qing was still so sensitive, as if nothing could escape her eyes.
Ji Jie nodded and said: "Sister Qing, although we are under the banner of Lord Xinling this time and have prepared a lot of gold, if King Zhao Xiang does not agree, we must take some extraordinary measures, right?"
Qin Qing also took this into consideration. Before setting off, he had arranged for two hundred strong warriors to sneak into the Zhao Kingdom through various means. They are now distributed in inconspicuous places in Handan City. As long as he gives an order, they will be there in a short time.
The assembly is completed.
It's best if we don't send troops. Ji Jie's plan is to get close to Guo Kai and Zhao Mu first. As for the other officials, just send someone to send some gold there, as long as they don't talk nonsense. The key power lies with Guo Kai and Zhao Mu.
In the hands of Mu and others.
If it goes well, he will give up. If it doesn't go well, he will take a desperate risk - go to the prince Zhao Qian and reveal his identity. He believes that Zhao Qian will think of the friendship between the two and will not kill him.
The rescue of Zhao Ling has encountered obstacles. The power of life and death is in the hands of Zhao Mu. As long as he is willing to let go, Zhao Ling will not die. It seems that the two things will be merged into one thing.
Through these days of coexistence, Ji Jie learned that the Qinqing family and his late husband were both business families that had been passed down for generations. The two grew up together and were married at the same time. It was a pity that the guy was not blessed to have such a beautiful woman.
On the day of the wedding, he rushed to the battlefield before making it to the bridal chamber, and died in the battle.
Anyway, the two of them became friends, and Qin Qing inherited the business of both companies at the same time. Due to proper management, business activities soon covered the entire Qin State, and then worked hard to develop branches and radiate to the six countries.
"Sister Qing, you are young and beautiful, have you ever thought about finding someone else?" Ji Jie asked calmly.
Qin Qing's face changed slightly and sighed: "So what if you want to, so what if you don't want to? A person's life is only a few decades, being inactive is a lifetime, and being vigorous is also a lifetime. If not so many people have high hopes for me, I would not hesitate.
The choice is to hide in the mountains and forests..."
"It's a good idea to hide in the mountains and forests!" Ji Jie continued: "Most people have such a dream to live a life without fighting against the world. But the reality is cruel, forcing you to do what you have to do.
Things, if one day you and I feel tired, we can choose to retire together, and the green mountains and green waters will be with us forever, what do you think, Sister Qing?"
"Okay!" Qin Qing nodded without thinking. She immediately realized that she had lost her composure and blushed with embarrassment. Apart from her damn husband, she had never shown such a girly attitude in front of a man.
Ji Jie felt extremely satisfied, and Stone Girl also melted sometimes, hehe.
Then continue to flirt, and getting Qin Qing is equivalent to controlling a huge business group. Businessmen in this era are not only doing business, but they are all good at spying on intelligence. If they want to be invincible, they must finally
The important thing is to know yourself and your enemy.
Ji Jie is full of confidence when he goes to meet his two old rivals, Guo Kai and Zhao Mu, tomorrow.
