"You watch, let them beat hard, as long as they can't die, tomorrow they will be punished more seriously!" Howder said to the jailer.

And Yingdu is another place.

"Wu Qi is dead, my lord!" A man dressed in black looked at the man in front of him who was drinking tea and said.

This person is the mastermind of Wu Qi's killing, Tian Ji, the secretary of Qi State, Tian Ji took a sip of tea: "Then let's leave Chu State quickly!" ”

"My lord, Wu Qi, who is really resourceful and makes the princes of the entire empire hurt, was killed so easily by the adults!" The man in black looked at Tian Ji and said.

"Some conspiracies and tricks can't be put on the table!" Tian Ji said lightly.

"Wu Qi killed my Tian family for no reason, and he will be punished like this!" Tian Ji said to the man in black in front of him.

And the man in black muttered in his heart, I think you just fell in love with Tian Kuohai's old man's money, so you assassinated Wu Qi so hard.

Tian Ji took a sip of the tea, and then said: "Let's go, leave the Chu State, return to the Qi State, and receive the reward!" ”

"Chu State has no Wu Qi, it's just a plate of loose sand, for my Qi State, the only one who can still become an opponent is Qiang Qin in the west!" Tian Ji said flatly.

And at this time, a man with a thick beard walked over: "My lord, when you return to the Qi Kingdom today, you will definitely receive a heavy reward from the king!" ”

"Don't worry, I have been rewarded, and you are indispensable, after all, you have also made a great contribution to this trip, and I Tian Ji is not a person who is greedy for merit!" Tian Ji said to the people on the side.

At this time, the people in the circle were all Tian Ji's doormen, and after they heard Tian Ji's words, they knelt on the ground one after another: "Lord Xie!" ”

Wu Qi died, and the world only knew that Wu Qi was murdered in the Chu Palace by more than 70 small nobles of the Chu State, but no one would know that Wu Qi's death was assassinated by a strategist of the Qi State.

Wu Qi would not have thought that his death was related to the people of Qi, but also to his dead wife.

If there is a cause, then there will be a result, and the moment he kills his wife, his end may have been doomed.

For Tian Ji, his only regret was that he couldn't leave Chu with Wu Qi's head, but knowing that Wu Qi was dead, his affairs had been completed.

Wu Qi's death soon spread throughout the country, and everyone except the central government of Chu was cheering.

Wu Qi is dead, then the state of Chu will be weakened, and the reform of the state of Chu will be over after all, and the nobles of the state of Chu will also cheer, they will cheer that Wu Qi is dead, the reform is over, and those who have not been co-opted into power can still hold power.

The people who killed Wu Qi were all imprisoned in the prison of Yingdu, and that night, the mastermind of Wu Qi's murder, he left Yingdu in Chu in a carriage without the slightest hindrance.

And these more than 70 nobles were gathered together by Tian Ji, they murdered Wu Qi, they wanted to tell why they murdered Wu Qi, and they wanted to pull Tian Ji up.

But they were fighting each other internally, as if they had forgotten about it, and even if they remembered it, Tian Ji had already left Yingdu.

In his room, Wei Ran wrote a letter to tell King Qin Zhao about Wu Qi's death, and told King Qin Zhao that the greatest threat to the Qin State was gone.

Wei Ran sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that the contemporary countryman would die so badly!" ”

In Wei Ran's eyes, Wu Qi died on the battlefield, this is the right death, or he died of serious illness, which is okay.

But dying at the hands of a group of little people, it's a bit of a nest.

In the eyes of the poor, Lu Xin and others may be great nobles and unattainable people, but in the eyes of these powerful people, those who hold power and guide the country, they are a group of insignificant little people.

Wei Ran, who is also in power, is also very sorry for Wu Qi's death, and he also feels sad about Wu Qi's death.

However, from the perspective of his own Qin State, Wu Qi's death is a great blessing, because in Wu Qi's eyes, the Qi State that dominates the east is not called a threat, but the Qin State that dominates the west is a huge threat.

In Wu Qi's strategic policy to the Chu State, that is, to enter Wei and Imperial Qin!

Qi country, Yingqiu.

Zhang Yi also came to the Qi State, he first visited Ying Kexin and gave the letter of King Qin Zhao to Ying Kexin's hands.

Ying Kexin looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Are Brother Wang and Queen Mother okay?" ”

"Princess, don't worry, King Qin Zhao and Empress Dowager Xuan are very good, they are very concerned about you, they hope that you can give birth to a child for King Qi!" Zhang Yi looked at Ying Kexin and said.

Ying Kexin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This matter of having a child, how can it be that I want to give birth?" ”

After Zhang Yi heard this, he was stunned, then looked at Ying Kexin and asked, "Could it be that King Qi doesn't touch you?" ”

Zhang Yi also understands the idea of the Empress Dowager Xuan, in fact, he is also very much in favor, if Ying Kexin gives birth to Qi Xiaobai's son, and after a hundred years of Qi Xiaobai, Win Kexin will take power, and then Qin and Qi will unite and destroy the Three Jins, just like what Qi did to Yan back then.

Let the Qi State be incorporated into the Qin State, which is also an impossible thing.

"It's not ......" Ying Kexin shook her head, in fact, she also wanted a child, but this kind of thing, where can she want it?

And Ying Kexin didn't want it in her heart, because she could guess that if she gave birth to a child, then her child would likely become a political tool.

She had been in contact with Qi Yan, she was exposed to Qi Yan's thoughts, and she felt that she had the same experience as Qi Yan, but she was lucky, Qi Xiaobai was not a wayless person.

Treat her well, or very well.

But she is a victim of Qin, a victim of Qin's politics, this is unchanged, for Qi Xiaobai, she just accepted her fate, she is Qi Xiaobai's woman, but she also longs for herself to have a luxurious love.

But she knew that she didn't have it, it was not there from the moment he was born, and after she gave birth to a child, she might become a political commodity of the Qin State, or a political commodity of the Qi State.

She didn't want what she was going through to happen to her child, so she didn't want to have a child.

However, she also thought about what to do if she had a child, and if she had a child, she would not let it become a prop for the politics of the Qin State, and of course she would not allow Qi Xiaobai to use them to get some benefits for the Qi State.

"Oh, if King Huan is not cold to you, as long as you are enthusiastic, you will definitely be able to, this is also a very beneficial thing for my Qin State!" Zhang Yi looked at Ying Kexin and said.

"I don't want to talk about state affairs!" After Ying Kexin heard Zhang Yi's words, she immediately became cold.

Zhang Yi glanced at Ying Kexin and was silent for a while: "Old minister, I know!" ”
