When Lin Wenqing was in Handan, he was also regarded as a wealthy businessman, and naturally there were many singers at home, and when he made friends with officials and businessmen of Zhao State, he often gave singers as gifts. At that time, Lin Wenqing also took it for granted. It wasn't until the fall of the Zhao Kingdom and the settlement of Daijun with the plateau that some changes occurred.

Because at the time of the death of the country, countless former wealthy families were wiped out in a blink of an eye, and yesterday she was still a wealthy lady and princess of the royal family, and today she may become a singer who is only for people to play with. There are too many examples of this kind of happening around me, and if my mother and children were not protected by the plateau, the result would probably not be much better than those singers. Therefore, Lin Wenqing sometimes rejoices at the same time, but also has a lot of sympathy for the fate of these singers.

Of course, Lin Wenqing knew that Gao Yuan did not raise singers in Dai County, but she thought that it was just because Dai County was still at the beginning of the grass, and there was no time for pleasure and comfort, of course, it was impossible for Gao Yuan to keep Song Ji, but Qi Wangjian gave twenty singers to Gao Yuan, according to common sense, these singers were actually owned by Gao Yuan, but Gao Yuan did not take these singers into the house, on the contrary, he also said that after returning to Dai County, he would find a good home for them, which also made Lin Wenqing really unexpected.

Therefore, Lin Wenqing said: "My lord, during my time in the Qi Kingdom, I will definitely treat them well." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, and at this moment, Ling Feng came to report: Jing Ke, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, came to ask to see Gao Yuan. It turned out that Gao Yuan's identity was secretly informed to Jing Ke by Ling Feng, so Gao Yuan came back from the Qi Palace, and Jing Ke came to see him. When Lin Wenqing saw it, he immediately got up and said goodbye to Gao.

After a while, Ling Feng took Jing Ke to the inner room, and Gao Yuan instructed Ling Feng to guard at the door and not let others disturb him.

After the two sat down, Jing Ke smiled and said, "Wu Anjun's courage is amazing, I really admire it. ”

Gao Yuan also smiled: "I am now the Shangqing of Daijun, and like Brother Jing, Brother Jing should not be mistaken." ”

Jing Ke also understood, arched his hand, and said, "Lord Shangqing." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Brother Jing has been in Qi Country for a few days. ”

Jing Ke said: "I arrived in Linzi three days ago, and when I came, Wei Zeng, the envoy of Wei, arrived, and Jing Tai, the envoy of Chu, just arrived yesterday. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Has Brother Jing ever met with them?" ”

Jing Ke nodded and said, "I have met Wei Zeng twice, but I haven't met Jingtai of Chu yet." ”

Gao Yuan said: "I don't know what Brother Jing and Wei Zeng talked about when they met, and whether they talked about the matter of Hezong." ”

Jing Ke said: "Why didn't you talk about it? Wei Zeng was very active about the joint column, and as soon as he saw me, he said that Wei hoped that all countries could reunite and jointly resist Qin. ”

Gao Yuan also said: "The three Jin Dynasty have always been one, and now that Han Zhao is wiped out, the next one to rush is naturally Wei State, so it is reasonable for Wei State to be in a hurry to regroup." ”

Jing Ke said: "Yes, I heard that Wei Zeng went to Qi State ten days ago, and continuously lobbied the officials of Qi State, trying to pull Qi State into the alliance, but he didn't get much response, and today he invited the envoys of Chu State to meet and negotiate, at most tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I'm afraid he will invite Shangqing." ”

Gao Yuan said: "The State of Qi has always been friendly with the State of Qin, and if you want to say that the State of Qi will join the United States, I don't think it is possible, but what will be the attitude of the State of Chu?" ”

Jing Ke shook his head and said: "I think it's also difficult, Chu State and his party are more than sincere, and they are not pioneering and enterprising, unless it is the Qin State to attack the Chu State, it is unlikely that the Chu State will mainly be provoked by Wei Guo, not to mention that as far as I know, Jingtai only sent a deputy envoy to meet with Wei State, and he went to Nulu to have fun, and it is not difficult to see the attitude of Chu State from this point." ”

Gao Yuan said: "How did Brother Jing and Wei Zeng talk? ”

Jing Ke said: "The main target of Wei is the two big countries of Qi and Chu, and my Yan State is originally a small country, and it is not connected to the border of Wei State, so Wei Zeng came to me, but it is better than nothing." I also dealt with him for a while, and I didn't talk about any practical things, but Shangqing came just in time, originally after this trip to Qi, Taixiao wanted to go to Daijun in person to negotiate with Shangqing. ”

Gao Yuan said: "What are the plans of Taixiao?" ”

Jing Ke said: "Does Shangqing know? Qin has already decided to send troops to Wei, at the earliest at the end of this year, and at the latest at the beginning of next year. That's why Wei was in a hurry to form a joint column. ”

In fact, this was also expected by the plateau, after all, now that Zhao and Han have perished, only the Wei State is in front of the Qin State, and only the Wei State is also destroyed, and the Qin State can be regarded as annexing the Three Jins, and the Three Jin Dynasty will be completely incorporated into the territory of the Qin State, so that it is good to use troops against Yan, Qi, and Chu.

Gao Yuan said: "If the Qin State uses troops against the Wei State, how does Tai Xiao think it should be dealt with?" ”

Jing Ke said: "Tai Xiao thinks that Zhao Han has been destroyed, and it is difficult to protect the Wei State, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything to save Wei, and after Qin destroys Wei, that is, when the Qin State is sent to the Qin State." ”

Shang Yuan immediately understood, after the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, the national situation would definitely skyrocket again, and the Qin Wangzheng would definitely be full of ambition, at this time, it was logical for the Yan State to send envoys to the Qin State to express their submission, and Qin Wangzheng would not be suspicious, and Jing Ke would have the opportunity to assassinate the King of Qin. Moreover, the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, and it was impossible for it to have no loss on its own, and it was necessary to stabilize the Wei land, and it would have to stop for a period of time, so no matter whether Jing Ke succeeded in assassinating Qin or not, it would be difficult for the Qin State to launch a military operation against the outside world in a short period of time. It can also be said that the timing of Prince Dan was indeed very well chosen.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, this time is indeed very good." However, we can't let the Qin State destroy the Wei State very lightly, if we can help the Wei State and support it for a while longer, we will be able to consume a little more of the strength of the Qin State, so I think that the proposed move of the Wei State should still have a sound, even if it can not be cared about on the surface, but in the dark it should still show support for the Wei State. On the way to Linzi, I had reached an agreement with Tian Kezang, the Anping Junjun of Qi, that Qi could not participate in the joint expedition on the surface, but could secretly provide material assistance to the countries that joined forces to resist Qin.

Jing Ke was also a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that Gao Yuan had just arrived in Qi State, and he actually had a relationship with Tian Kezang, couldn't he see that Gao Yuan still had such diplomatic talents?

Gao Yuan smiled: "Don't look at me like this, in fact, this is pure coincidence." As he spoke, he told Jing Ke what had happened on his way to Qi Kingdom.

After listening to this, Jing Ke also let out a sigh of relief and said, "But this time I didn't win after knocking down." ”

Gao Yuan said: "In fact, if you don't win after defeating, it won't hurt the overall situation, I didn't expect Qi to play much of a role militarily, as long as you give full play to the wealth of Qi and be able to confront us and Qin State, and provide material support." And it can be negotiated in the name of a businessman, so even if Hou Sheng is still on the table, he can't stop it. ”

Jing Ke nodded and said, "No wonder Lord Shangqing wants to lead a caravan to Linzi this time, and he also wants to open a shop in Linzi, it turns out that he is preparing for a war with the Qin State in the future." ”

In fact, Gao Yuan opened a shop in Qi Country in order to open a financial road for Daijun, but it was too troublesome to explain, so he didn't say anything, and asked: "Brother Jing, I don't know if your deputy has been chosen." ”

Jing Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said: "Such a person, it is so easy to find, but I heard that there are many strange people in Qi Country, so this time I sent an envoy to Qi State, I also hope to find a suitable person in Qi Country." In fact, Jing Ke thought in his heart that Gao Yuan was the most suitable candidate, not only strong in martial arts, but also witty and good at adapting, but he was also pure, Gao Yuan would definitely not act as an assassin, so he never mentioned it.

After a pause, Jing Ke said again: "My friend Gao gradually left the country of Qi in advance and secretly visited if there was a strange person who could serve as a deputy envoy. ”

Gao Yuan listened to it, and couldn't help but be interested, Gao Yuanli is the one who sang the famous sentence through the ages: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone. 's musician, said: "Could it be that the musician who is good at building is Mr. Gao?" ”

Jing Ke also nodded and said, "It's this person, has Shangqing heard of him too?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Gao is good at building and can move the listener, but unfortunately I have never met." Unexpectedly, he also came to the Qi country. ”

Jing Ke said with a smile: "What's so difficult to see Brother Gradually leaving, if Shangqing is free tomorrow, we will go to the street to find a tavern together, drink and play songs, and listen to Gradually Leave to build first, wouldn't it be happy." To be honest, I really don't want to socialize with those officials. ”

Gao Yuan also smiled: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will go with Mrs. Wenqing to inspect the shop, and we will go together when I come back." ”

Jing Ke also nodded and said, "A word is a certainty." Then he got up and took his leave.

As soon as Jing Ke left, Ling Feng came in with another invitation sticker and said, "My lord, An Pingjun invites your lord to go to his mansion for a banquet tomorrow night." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, Tian Kezang's invitation, of course, must go. Therefore, he said, "You go and reply, and say that I will go to the appointment tomorrow night." I thought to myself, I had just arrived in Qi State, and it was like rushing to the scene, and I would fill tomorrow's itinerary as soon as I was alone, and according to what Jing Ke said, the envoys of Wei State would also come to invite me, so it seemed that I would be busy for a while.

After Ling Feng came back, Gao Yuan said again: "Xiao Feng, you go and prepare, select a hundred people, and go to the shop with me tomorrow, and then you will live in the shop, and the safety of Mrs. Wenqing will be handed over to you to pay for it." The affairs in the pavilion will be handed over to Li Kang and Li Wei. ”

When Ling Feng heard this, he also agreed, and immediately went down to make arrangements.
