System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 18 The Envoy Returns to Handan
Xun Kuang finally accepted Zhao Zheng as his disciple.

"Congratulations to Azheng, I'm glad to have a good teacher." Many fish were happy for Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng was also smiling brightly, showing a rare childlike attitude. He stayed with Xun Kuang every day, listening to his teachings.

Lian Po was very impressed: "I was looking for a good teacher for you, but I was snatched away by this kid Zhao Zheng."

Many fish prepared tea soup for Lian Po, and the fragrance of tea lingered on the small charcoal stove: "I already have the best master in the world, why should I go to apprentice again?"

Lian Po raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help pointing out the many fish: "Make your tea thicker and add more mutton fat."

Many fish hands shook: "Master, why don't you try the original flavor of tea soup?"

Making tea into soup is the biggest compromise you make.

Never add any dried meat or mutton fat to it.Absolutely not!
Lian Po was dissatisfied and said: "What's the difference between this and eating tea? I'll do it! If you are not good at housework, you will have to prepare a lot of companionship when you get married."

Many fish made way for Lian Po: "Why do I have to marry someone? Even if I marry someone, I don't want a concubine."

Lian Po sneered: "Let's see if your Azheng can do it."

Many fish ignored him and dropped maggots between themselves and Azheng from time to time to avoid being fooled.

"Have you read the letter sent by Aweng?" Lian Po took a sip of the original tea soup and grimaced in bitterness.

Many fish were making trouble aside, adding dried apricots to it: "Look, Aweng told me not to be naughty or troublesome at the master's house."

Lian Po's eyes widened: "Have you heard, if what happened last time happens again, I will sue you, Aweng, and ask him to send someone to take you home."

Duo Yu didn't hesitate and said calmly: "Master, you believe me. If King Zhao Huiwen is on the throne, there will be two disputes between Qin and Zhao. Now this King Zhao is narrow-minded and will put Aweng and Master together..."

"A lot of fish! Don't talk nonsense." Lian Po quickly stopped this daring little girl.

Many Fish lowered their eyes: "Master, if one day A Zheng and I return to Qin, you can take my wife and brother and leave with us."

Lian Po stroked the heads of many fishes lovingly: "Silly girl, how can I leave? After I leave, who can protect the Kingdom of Zhao?"

"Report!" A sergeant spurred his horse, dismounted in front of the door, and ran quickly into the courtyard.

Lian Po said seriously: "What's the matter?"

"The Qin army attacks South Korea's Shangdang!"

Lian Po glanced at the many fishes who were as calm as before, and then summoned the guests to discuss important matters in the study.

It finally came.

Many fish chewed up the remaining tea soup and swallowed it, then got up to look for the black dolphin.

Black Dolphin brought many fish to a house. Lou Sheng was in ragged clothes and disheveled. How could he be as arrogant as when he first met him?
"Messenger, long time no see." Heidu moved a chair for Duoyu, which Mao Ying did according to Duoyu's request.

Many fish sat down and arranged their clothes. The sunlight shone into the house, and they seemed to be covered in golden light.

Lou Sheng covered his eyes and knelt on his knees: "Little lady, if Sheng knows that she is wrong, she will not dare to take advantage of Gong Zizheng again."

Many fish played with the whips in their hands. With one whip, they picked up the pottery and threw it into the courtyard. With a snap, it fell apart.

Lou Sheng was trembling all over, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at the many fish.

"Messenger, I am quite disappointed."

"Female, female monarch, what do you want? Sheng must do his best." Lou Sheng's nose was dripping with tears and he was frightened.

The sound of many fishes was as crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate: "Envoy, you accepted the bribe from Zhao Kuo, but did you ever inform your brother Lou Chang?"

"No, never." Lou Sheng replied stutteringly.

"Your brother Lou Chang has close ties with the State of Qin. If he learns that you secretly harmed the young master of the State of Qin, what do you think your brother will do?"

Many fish looked at Lou Sheng, who was as low as dust, feeling both happy and disappointed in their hearts.

The Seven Kingdoms fought for supremacy, and there were many heroes, but this man had no integrity at all.

Lou Sheng hesitated. It was true that his brother was close to Qin, but did he still have contact in private?

"The King of Qin has been in power for many years. With the help of Fan Ju, the Prime Minister of Qin, he has been implementing the strategy of distant relations and close attacks for nearly ten years. How many scholars in Zhao State have their hearts in Qin. How many of them do the envoys know?"

Lou Sheng shook his head. In the Zhao Kingdom, the attitude towards Qin was very wavering. Sometimes he was pro-Qin and sometimes he was against Qin.Many fish waved their hands, and Black Dolphin placed a wooden box in front of Lou Sheng.

"Open."

Lou Sheng opened the wooden box with trembling hands, and the golden cakes filled the wooden box, making Lou Sheng's eyes hurt.

"Who is this lady?" Lou Sheng was even more frightened. The gold was really hot and he didn't dare to take it.

Duoyu said kindly: "I have admired your brother and Lord Pingyang for a long time. As long as the envoy is willing to introduce me, I will not only let you go free, but this box of gold will be used as a thank you gift to thank the envoy for his help regardless of past grudges."

"If there is no introduction..." Lou Sheng didn't want to get involved in this matter. This woman made it clear that she had a big agenda.

Many Fish's tone was gentler: "This place is far away from Handan. There are many rangers everywhere. Occasionally, conflicts break out. I believe your Majesty can understand."

Lou Sheng kept wiping the cold sweat from his head and said tremblingly: "It's a small matter, Sheng will definitely live up to his expectations!"

Many fish ordered Mao Ying and Mao Xue to follow Lou Sheng back to Handan, with the rangers escorting them.

When returning to Handan, Lou Sheng no longer mentioned taking Zhao Zheng back to Handan. King Zhao did not take Zhao Zheng to heart in the first place.

Presumably, if he gives his brother half of his gold, he will definitely be able to deal with King Zhao.

Lou Sheng's personal attendant saw Mao Ying and Mao Xue and gave Lou Sheng an idea: "Master, why not?"

The attendant made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Lou Sheng looked around and saw no special movement. He breathed a sigh of relief and scolded his followers: "Be smart, do you know who those rangers are?"

The follower didn't know why: "They are just rangers. They can be found everywhere in Handan City."

Lou Sheng's heart twitched: "What I'm afraid of is that this can be seen everywhere! The ranger under Nu Jun is Chu Mo!"

The entourage broke out in a cold sweat: "The Mo family who has gone through fire and water and refused to turn around?"

Lou Sheng said sourly: "That's it. This girl has no luck and got help from Chu Mo."

The attendant covered his mouth and did not dare to speak any more.

The Mohists were united, and although they were divided into three parts, Chu Mo had many knights and was very powerful.

He couldn't help but what King Zhao did. Dealing with himself and even the Lou family was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

This little lady is so low-key. Who would have dared to bully her if she had shown her hand earlier?

Seeing that the envoy Lou Sheng finally left the fief, Lian Po called many fish into the study and dug out a small clay pot from a crack in the floor.

"Master, what is this? It's mysterious." Many fish asked curiously.

Lian Po signaled the many fish to keep quiet, then spread out the bedding and poured the contents of the clay pot onto the bedding.

one or two...

It turned out to be large or small gold ingots, occasionally a few strings of copper coins, and one or two pearls.

Lian Po took the copper coins and said, "Take these."

Many fish were stunned and opened their mouths wide: "I, I am not short of money. Before I left, Aweng gave me money."

Lian Po raised his eyes and said angrily: "If I tell you to take it, you will take it. How can you be so unhappy?"

Many fish hesitated, but finally asked: "Does Master know about this?"

Lian Po was like a balloon that had been popped, and he said with a guilty conscience: "I am the head of the family, do I have to tell my wife about everything?"

"Master, is this your private money?"

Lian Po hesitated shamefully: "Don't tell your wife."

The door suddenly opened, and a graceful figure appeared at the door.

"What can't you tell me?"
