Chapter 76 Veteran General Wang Jian

Chapter 76 Veteran General Wang Jian
Bang!
The dinner to welcome Zheng Ge was over. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Prince Fusu's handsome face flushed. Although his pair of dark eyes were a little drunk, they were more angry. When they came to a place where few people went, Fusu punched hard and hit the railing in front of him.

With a low muffled sound, powder was scattered.

"Young Master, you seem very angry?" Tianxuan, who was wearing a plain gray Taoist robe, followed behind Fusu. He noticed the anger coming from Fusu and asked with interest, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Fusu looked back, his eyes full of anger, of course this anger was not directed at Tianxuan: "Brother Tianxuan, how can I not be angry? Guo Kai, that bastard, shamelessly sold Zhao to my Qin, and shamelessly regarded himself as a wise minister. In my opinion, father should kill him with a single blow!"

"How could I have known that my father would appoint him as the prime minister of the Qin Empire!" At this point, Fusu's face was filled with worry. "Since a villain like Guo Kai can sell out the Zhao Empire, he can certainly sell out the Qin Empire one day!"

Tian Xuan smiled slightly: "My Lord, it is easy to kill Guo Kai, but if we kill him, the treacherous people in the four states of Wei, Chu, Qi and Yan who are loyal to our Great Qin will not dare to surrender in the future. Besides, my Lord is well-read, I believe you must have heard of the story that Yang Hu was a powerful traitor in Lu, but a capable minister in Zhao, right?"

"In the final analysis, what determines whether a minister is a capable minister or a treacherous minister does not lie in the minister himself, but in the monarch!"

Since the birth of Prince Fusu, he has been burdened with the expectations of his mother Lady Mi, his two uncles: the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, and even the entire Qin State's Chu clan relatives. Since Fusu was five years old, he has been studying hard under the urging of his maternal uncle, so he naturally knew about Yang Hu.

"Brother Tianxuan is absolutely right." After being stunned, the anger on Fusu's face mostly dissipated, and he nodded in agreement, "Yang Hu has not changed. The reason why he is a capable minister in Zhao is that Zhao Jianzi has the skill to control tigers."

"Not to mention, Guo Kai is far inferior to Yang Hu!" Fusu said with disdain on his face at the end.

The art of taming tigers was no longer a topic that Tianxuan, as a minister, should discuss with Fusu, the eldest son of Qin. Although Tianxuan agreed with Fusu's point of view in his heart, he just smiled and did not answer.

"What a pity," Fusu said unwillingly, "In order to win the hearts of the people, they actually let Guo Kai die of old age!"

"My Lord, you are wrong." Tian Xuan corrected him, "Just because our Great Qin will not kill Guo Kai does not mean that others are willing to let him go. You must know that since King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Guo Kai has been causing chaos in the court of Zhao, forcing the old general Lian Po to leave and slandering and killing the general Li Mu. In the entire Zhao State, there are at least 80,000 people who want to kill him, if not 100,000."

"Now, the truth that he has been bribed by our Great Qin has been exposed. My lord, you don't think that the Zhao people, who have suffered the pain of losing their country, will let him go, right?"

As he spoke, a vague memory came to Tianxuan's mind. If he remembered correctly, after Guo Kai's identity as a traitor was exposed, there was no place for him in Zhao, so he had to go to Qin. However, he was killed halfway, and his entire family was killed. The murderer who killed Guo Kai was either Zheng Ge, who wanted to kill him, or a Zhao person who was angered by Guo Kai.

In comparison, the possibility of being from Zhao is greater!
"Exactly."

When Tianxuan said this, Fusu showed a deep sympathy, and had no intention of reminding Guo Kai. Unexpectedly, a voice that was old but full of energy suddenly came from behind the two of them. Along with this roaring voice, a tall and majestic figure appeared behind Tianxuan and Fusu in the mottled light leaking from the palace.

"Old General Wang Jian."

"Greetings to General Wang Jian."

Tianxuan and Fusu were both startled. They turned around and saw Wang Jian, who was wearing full armor and had a tiger-like majestic spirit even though his hair and beard were all white. Wang Jian was Zhengge's top general. He had fought in many battles in the south and the north for decades, and his achievements were comparable to those of Bai Qi, the Marquis of Wu'an. Looking at the entire Qin State, he was truly second to none.

Even though Fusu was the eldest son of the dynasty, he did not dare to put on airs in front of Wang Jian and saluted with his fists. The military merit title was just a title that was not changed. Thinking of Wang Jian's illustrious military exploits, he dared not be presumptuous.

"Young Master, Taoist Tianxuanzi," after the banquet, the elderly Wang Jian could not stand the alcohol and took a walk in the front court of the Zhao Palace. Stimulated by the cold wind, the drunkenness dissipated a little. He noticed Tianxuan and Fusu, and curiously came over. Facing Fusu and Tianxuan's salute, Wang Jian, who had witnessed Bai Qi's end, turned aside and only accepted half of Fusu's salute.

When Tianxuan and Fusu stood up straight, the Qin army's first general made a voice as fierce as a tiger or leopard.

"I have received news that after Li Mu's death, thousands of Zhao soldiers did not disperse and were waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Guo Kai slandered Li Mu and betrayed the State of Zhao. These people will never let him go!" At the end, Wang Jian's eyes showed a hint of regret.

Since Li Mu emerged in Zhao State, people have often compared Li Mu with Wang Jian. Deep down, Wang Jian also regarded Li Mu as his strongest rival. Unexpectedly, he failed to defeat Li Mu on the battlefield. Although he had become the winner to some extent, this regret remained in Wang Jian's heart.

"General Wang Jian," Tian Xuan heard Wang Jian's words, his eyes flashed, "Since there are still thousands of Zhao troops. If we don't deal with them, then after killing Guo Kai, they will take Guo Kai's treasures and disband. If they take those treasures and go to Dai Wangjia in Dai County, it will be a big trouble for our Great Qin."

Fusu agreed: "Brother Tianxuan is absolutely right."

"Master Tianxuan, what you mean is that after they kill Guo Kai, they should recruit these Zhao troops if possible, or destroy them on the spot if not?" Wang Jian originally regarded Tianxuan as a close attendant of Prince Fusu. However, when they met today, Tianxuan's performance made him brighten up.

Amidst the words that were not without surprise, a hint of admiration rose in Wang Jian's eyes as he looked at Tianxuan.

………………

Guo Mansion.

"Come on, pack your bags quickly, we are leaving Handan!"

Guo Kai, who was ugly but could hook up with the Queen of Zhao Daochang and become the father of the King of Zhao, could not be an illiterate, stupid fool. At the night banquet in the palace, Guo Kai's identity as a "traitor" was exposed, and he knew that this matter would soon spread throughout Handan City.

By then, he would no longer have a place to stand in Handan City. After returning to the mansion, the first thing Guo Kai did was to urgently summon his close confidants, concubines and children in the mansion, and gave such an order without hesitation.

"Leaving Handan?"

"Master, where are we going?"

"Master, why do you want to leave Handan?"

……

As soon as Guo Kai's order came out, there was an uproar in the mansion.
