Cao Xiu is a loyal and honest person!

Zhao Xie recalled the past with emotion.

I still remember that when the country was destroyed, his brother Dai Wang Jia was captured, and all the Zhao family members were moved to Xianyang and imprisoned. He had to risk his life before escaping to Peixian County, but fortunately he was rescued by Cao Xiu. At that time, Qin had been destroyed

Of the five kingdoms, only the Qi State, which is watching from the sidelines, is still alive, but everyone can see that the Qi State will perish!

At that time, Zhao Xie was extremely desperate. He hated Qin and took away everything from them. Zhao was destroyed, and Prince Jia fled to Dai and established himself as the king. For several years, he only resisted the violent Qin, but he still could not escape destruction.

How can he not be angry when his country is destroyed and his family is destroyed?

As a result, Cao Xiu's words awakened him.

"In the past, when the King of Yue was defeated, he guarded the tomb of King Wu and raised horses for several years. After returning to the country, he worked hard and thought about it. When he sat down, he raised his head while sitting and lying down. He also tasted courage when eating and drinking. In the end, the King of Yue defeated the King of Wu. Because for a while

If he fails, will Zhao Jun seek death like a coward?"

No matter what, he must live!

As long as you are alive, there is hope for everything.

……

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Cao's house.

Zhao Xie looked up at the increasingly luxurious mansion and marveled at it. Cao Xiu was extremely capable and good at business, comparable to Fan Li and Guan Zhong. With such a capable person to help him, why worry about not succeeding?

Over the years, he had corresponded with Cao Xiuduo. At the same time, Zhao Xie was also secretly contacting nobles from various countries. There were also people who suspected that Cao Xiu was a Qin official, but Zhao Xie was so angry that he couldn't even say anything. In his words

, even if he doubts himself, he will never doubt that Cao Xiu is an undercover spy!

The coachman walked forward and knocked on the door.

Qin Jia and Zhao Xie were waiting outside the door.

After a while, a servant opened the door.

"What's the next step?"

"I'd like to report to Mr. Cao that I have an old friend from the East China Sea coming to visit."

"Wait a moment."

"Yeah."

Not long after, the door opened wide.

Cao Xiu walked out quickly and raised his hands to bow.

"Zhao Jun!"

"Xiu'er!"

Zhao Xie's eyes turned red and he raised his hand in return.

Three years!

They finally meet again!

Then, Cao Xiu turned to look at Qin Jia next to her.

"This, you think, is Lord Qin from Donghai County?"

"Haha, I didn't expect Xiu'er to recognize me."

Nonsense!

There are only three of us here. If you are not Qin Jia, who is?

Of course, Cao Xiu was just thinking about it in his mind. He and Qin Jia had never met in person before, and they had only exchanged letters before. The only reason they met was because of Cao Shen's matchmaking.

Sometimes Qin Jia sent people to transport Haiyan to Pei County, and his subordinates would also come to Cao's house to bring messages. The friendship was not deep, it was just Qin Jia's desire to win over Cao Xiu and others.

"Please go inside first, and we'll talk about it later if you have anything to do."

Cao Xiu smiled and walked forward.

He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Xie would get together with Qin Jia, and they would come to Peixian County at the same time. His relationship with Zhao Xie was okay, but he just regarded Zhao Xie as a chess piece.

Now, Zhao Xie is not a simple person. Since the three tribes of Dai Wangjia were captured and moved to Xianyang, he has become very prosperous in Xindu County, Julu County. Last year, he wrote a letter saying that he had been elected as the Zhao family

The clan leader alone has hundreds of people under his command.

Such forces naturally have to be won over.

It will definitely be a big help for future uprisings.

After passing through the front yard, they came to the front yard.

Cao Xiu chose the study room instead of the hall. After all, walls have ears. If someone overheard what he said to the two rebels, he might have to run away for his life. The foundation he had worked so hard to lay in Peixian County could not be lost due to

Ruined by negligence!

There are many bamboo slips placed in the study room. In addition to Qin laws, there are also many pre-Qin classics. Sometimes Cao Xiu would dictate them and ask Cao'er to write them down for him.

"Everyone, please step aside."

"No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

"Wei!"

Cao'er put down the wine respectfully, bowed and left.

"Haha, the wine made by Xiu'er is outstanding." Zhao Xie picked up the wine bottle, poured a cup for Cao Xiu himself, and said with emotion: "I have been thinking about it in Julu County for three years!"

"If Mr. Zhao had told me earlier, Xiu would definitely send it to you."

"Then I will take some back later."

"No problem!"

Cao Xiu agreed without thinking.

What does this little profit count for?

The three of them each raised their hands and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking, Cao Xiu got down to business.

"Qin Jun, I wonder how much sea salt came this time?"

"Three thousand stones!"

"So many?"

Cao Xiu was suddenly startled.

This amount is three times the previous amount!

"Don't worry." Qin Jia smiled faintly, "They will be delivered one after another, and nothing will happen. Donghai County has not been peaceful for more than half a month, and it will be difficult to say what will happen after this delivery."<

/p>

"How to say?"

Cao Xiu was immediately interested.

"It's not because of the tyrant!" Qin Jia was extremely angry when he mentioned this. "The tyrant was so happy with his success that he was supposed to stay on the Langya platform for three months, but he was assassinated on the dragon boat and returned early.

I went to Xianyang. Could this person have been arranged by Xiuer?"

"Ah?!"

Cao Xiuren was dumbfounded.

This is really a case of people sitting at home while the pot comes from the sky. If Qin Jia hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known about it at all. Besides, he won't do business at a loss. Now let alone assassinating Qin Shihuang, it's hard to get close to him.

Very, if the plan is exposed and he is caught by following the clues, wouldn’t it be all over?

Even if the assassination was successful, what good would it do to him?

He is not ready for many things now.

If the world is really in chaos, it will not do him any good.

Moreover, he remembered that the history books did not record the assassination of Qin Shihuang at all. They only said that he stayed in Langyatai for three months, during which time Xu Shi was allowed to go to sea to search for immortals.

Could it be that... this is all because of him?

As a time traveler, what he has done over the years has more or less changed the life trajectories of many people. The more people he comes into contact with, the more changes he has made. Could it be that some nobleman from the Six Kingdoms couldn't think of anything and went to assassinate Qin Shihuang?

Already?

"Is it really not Jun Cao's fault?"

"How is it possible..."

Zhao Xie also nodded accordingly.

"Xiuer is not a brave person."

"Then this matter is a bit strange." Qin Jia frowned and said, "I heard that because of the assassination, all the dragon boats built by Xu City were destroyed. There are also rumors that the assassination is also related to Xu City, and even...

He was arrested and interrogated."
