There is a house with three entrances in the orchard.
The main room in the middle is decorated in a rustic and simple manner.
There was a soft straw mat spread under the two low mats, and the shelves on the side were filled with bamboo scrolls and thread-bound books.
There are several pots of plants under the window, with different colors, and their branches and leaves sway gently in the wind, making them colorful and colorful.
Zhao Huaizhong followed Mu Yangjing into the room and smelled a light and elegant fragrance. He didn't know if it was dissipated by the fluttering vegetation or the body fragrance left by Mu Yangjing and Jiang Yan's residence. It was so elegant and astonishing.
Zhao Huaizhong sat behind the low seat and his eyes inadvertently fell on Mu Yangjing's still naked feet.
The foot shape is beautiful and delicate, with flawless white jade, and the arch forms a beautiful curve.
The saint realm was no longer stained by dust. Mu Yangjing glanced at Zhao Huaizhong, with a reddish complexion and using the power within his body, the dust and soil on his feet fell off cleanly.
She picked up her stockings and put them on, covering her white feet. She raised her head and saw Zhao Huaizhong's slightly regretful look. She laughed and said, "Don't you have something to say?"
At this time, Jiang Shu came back from the fruit trees not far away, carrying a bamboo basket full of fruits of various colors.
She fetched water and washed the fruits one by one, and the three of them sat around a low mat. Zhao Huaizhong had prepared it before he came. He also took out various kinds of food from the small gourd and gave it to the two lazy masters and apprentices who could not cook.
Mu Yangjing is almost fasting and can satisfy his hunger by drinking water and eating a few fruits and vegetables.
However, the things Zhao Huaizhong brought were refurbished and there were new things every time.
This time I got pasta snacks, which were added with vegetable juice to make them colorful and in the shape of various small animals.
Among them is a rabbit made of flour. After being steamed, its body swells up and becomes soft and cute.
After Jiang Shu saw it, she was reluctant to speak.
Mu Yangjing was also interested and tasted various kinds of noodles with Jiang Shu.
Only then did Zhao Huaizhong come to the topic. He thought that Zou Yan and Xunzi had sent him letters one after another, and he thought that he could connect these saints more closely.
If something unexpected happens, we can respond quickly, help each other, and be prepared.
Otherwise, these saints would work independently, which would be a waste of resources.
Mu Yangjing listened to Zhao Huaizhong's narration, and her face turned slightly serious: "You said that in the mountains to the west of Daqin, there is a hidden monster clan that exists, and it is very powerful."
"Um."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded and said: "So I want to bring Xunzi and Zou Yan in to strengthen the connection.
The war between the six kingdoms is a struggle within our human race for the world. How can we allow the demon race to spy on and interfere?
If something goes wrong, both Zou Yan and Xunzi will be able to help. Zou Yan is here, and Xunzi is currently traveling around the world. If we can have closer contact with them, we may be able to protect more human beings from being invaded by evil."
Mu Yangjing's interest increased greatly, her eyes sparkled and she said, "Then how should we contact you?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "I only have an idea at the moment. At this stage, I still have to rely on passing books to communicate."
Mu Yangjing looked thoughtful, and subconsciously stretched out the tip of her tongue to lick the pastry residue at the corner of her mouth. The tip of her tongue was pink and charming.
Jiang Shu was eating snacks with bulging cheeks and her eyes were closed, listening to the conversation between Zhao Huaizhong and Mu Yangjing.
She didn't want to eat the fat rabbit, so she kept it in her hand and treated it like a little doll.
Zhao Huaizhong stayed in the orchard until evening, chatting with the master and apprentice for a long time.
The sun sets towards the evening, dyeing the sky red.
Shortly after Zhao Huaizhong returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion in the city, the internal official Liu Qi came in and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Yan Ji Dan came to see you."
"Invite him in." A memory naturally appeared in Zhao Huaizhong's mind.
While the predecessor was in the state of Zhao as a hostage, Prince Dan was also in the state of Zhao as a hostage.
The two of them don't have much interaction. After all, they are both protons, their freedom is limited, and there are few opportunities to meet.
But in that environment, one can't help but feel a sense of sympathy for each other.
To put it bluntly, Prince Yan Ji Dan can be regarded as a friend of Zhao Huaizhong's predecessor.
In the inherent history, the relationship between Prince Dan and the First Emperor was very bad in the end, and Ji Dan was a tragic figure. He later served as a hostage in Da Qin and escaped back to Yan State, but was eventually executed by his biological father, King Xi of Yan.
Come to please Qin people and prevent Qin people from attacking Yan.
While Zhao Huaizhong was thinking, Liu Qi had already led two people in.
The two of them were a master and a servant. The man walking in front looked like he was nearly middle-aged, with an ordinary figure and a somewhat pale complexion. He was wearing a dark blue robe with a silver jade belt tied around his waist.
He has calm eyes and looks older than his actual age. A few white strands are faintly visible in his black hair, and there are fine lines at the corners of his eyes.
Prince Dan has no shortage of ambitions and ambitions, as well as the talent to display his ambitions.
He wholeheartedly wanted to revitalize the Yan Kingdom, but the Yan Kingdom was in a corner, which was exactly the opposite of the Qin people who wanted to move eastward. They always wanted to move westward.
Unfortunately, God failed to fulfill his wishes, and Prince Dan never made any achievements.
He took a detour to enter Qin this time and took great pains. Zhao Huaizhong would know the reason without asking.
He wanted to form an alliance with the Qin people, attack Zhao from the east and west, and take the most important step for Yan to advance westward.
Zhao Huaizhong thought of his acquaintance when he was a hostage in Handan, and stood up to greet him: "I have been separated from my brother for many years, and I never thought we would see each other again."
Ji Dan was a little flattered, and since he was asking for help, he immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply and said, "Dan has met the Crown Prince of Qin."
Zhao Huaizhong helped him up and invited him to sit at the table.
The servant following Prince Dan stepped forward and took out the gift.
Compared with the gifts given by other countries when they arrived, the gifts given by Prince Dan were a bit shabby, consisting of only twenty sea pearls and two dancing girls from the Yan people.
Yan State is located near the sea, and Haizhu is quite famous.
In addition, Yan Shi and War Horse are also well known.
Zhao Huaizhong then held a banquet in honor of Prince Dan.
At the banquet, dancers came up to perform dances and played drums and music.
As the singing and dancing progressed, Prince Dan slowly revealed his intention, and it was exactly as expected.
Yan wanted to form an alliance with Qin, but the two sides attacked the Zhao people.
According to Prince Dan's idea, it shouldn't be difficult to convince Zhao Huaizhong. After all, his proposal would be beneficial to both countries.
It would be very advantageous for the Qin people to gain an ally for nothing and to contain and attack Zhao from the rear.
But he didn't expect that Zhao Huaidong flatly rejected his proposal.
"The news I have received shows that the Huns north of Zhao are ready to make moves in recent days. This summer, the Zhao people are likely to go to war with the Huns.
When there is an invasion by foreigners, I, the Qin Dynasty, will not attack Zhao, so that Zhao can concentrate on dealing with the Huns. If Zhao shows signs of decline, I, the Qin Dynasty, will send troops to fight the Xiongnu."
Prince Dan was stunned for a moment, and Zhao Huaizhong softened his tone and said:
"But I can make a covenant with my brother on behalf of Qin.
At the moment, General Meng Ao of our country is attacking Wei. This battle will not be short, and will probably last for several months or even longer. If the Zhao people's fight against the Huns is over by then, I will secretly take action to force Wei to attack Zhao."
Prince Dan's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Zhao Huaizhong meant. He thought to himself: This plan of yours is really good for you Qin people. Then you don't have to take action personally and just sit back and watch the melee between Yan, Zhao and Wei.
However, he really couldn't refuse Zhao Huaizhong's proposal, because it would indeed be of great benefit to Yan.
Prince Dan looked at Zhao Huaizhong with sharp eyes.
Before he came, he had collected information about Zhao Huaizhong and knew what the prince of Qin had done in the two years since he returned to Qin. Not only was he extremely talented, but the Ye Yu Mansion under his command was also full of elites.
Evil heretics.
A month ago, Zhao Huaizhong became a saint in public, killing the evil master Yin Mu, and became famous all over the world.
At this time, the crown prince of Qin Dynasty had gradually shown his heroic demeanor.
Prince Dan's thoughts were ups and downs, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh, the Qin people have strong soldiers and horses, and if they get another heroic leader, it will not be a blessing to the six countries.
He thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with what Zhao Huaizhong said.
The two represent the two countries Qin and Yan, and have initially reached an intention to form an alliance.
The night is falling and the stars are twinkling.
Zhao Huaizhong invited Prince Dan to go out and walk around Xianyang City.
Prince Dan came to Qin and planned to observe the Qin people, so he happily agreed.
The group of people changed into casual clothes and came to the streets of Xianyang City.
Zhao Huaizhong and Prince Dan talked and exchanged opinions while walking.
In the evening, Zhao Huaizhong returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion and entered the study. A wisp of black air poured in from the window, but it was a ghost who received his summons and traveled thousands of miles at night, rushing back to Xianyang from thousands of miles away.
The ghost at this time has changed a lot compared to more than a year ago.
