In the majestic Qin Palace, the Jiao-shou charcoal stove emitted a warm fire, which made the entire hall brighter. The eunuch bowed, put a few dishes of snacks on the table, added wine again, turned around, and retreated out of the hall gate. The hall gate was closed, and in the empty hall, only King Zhao, Meng Chong and Wei Ran were left to sit together.

"King."

Wei Ran stood up to salute, and saw King Zhao wave his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here, so you can avoid these false gifts."

Wei Ran thanked him, sat down again, tidied up his sleeves, and said, "King, during the morning court, Yuezhi and the Qiang tribe envoy submitted a letter of state together, claiming that I, Daqin, sent someone to force the Yuezhi princess and killed the fifth princes of the Qiang tribe. The old minister felt that this was a bit strange."

"Oh?" King Zhao smiled slightly and said to Wei Ran, "Let's talk about it."

Wei Ran bowed and said in a respectful voice: "When the king asked me to wait here late at night, I guess I have already made plans, so the old minister won't talk much."

"Hahaha." King Zhao laughed, pointed Wei Ran with his hand, and said, "Wei Xiang is still so cautious. Tonight, the Lone King only called you two, just to listen to your opinions on the daytime matter, but it's okay!"

After tidying up his thoughts, Wei Ran said: "If we can secretly destroy the marriage between Yuezhi and Qiang tribes, it will be a good thing for our Qin Dynasty. This will re-provoke disputes between the two tribes and make them have no time to look east. Longxi can maintain peace for several years, and we can also concentrate our troops against the six countries. But the old ministers are confused, and the envoys of the two tribes are convinced, saying that the murderer who robbed the princess and killed the princess with their own eyes was the Longxi garrison of our Qin Dynasty. After resigning in the morning, the old minister asked the Marquis Meng and issued the order. If the envoys of the two tribes did not lie, then this should be the private act of the Longxi garrison."

After taking a breath, Wei Ran continued, "What the old minister is confused about is that Ying Guang, the commander of Mo Lin Camp, was quite wise and wise. If it were his work, he would have made a decision and then acted. How could his hands and feet be so unclear that people could seize the handle?"

King Zhao refused to answer, and saw Meng Chong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "It seems that the old marquis seems to have something to say."

Meng Chong smiled and said, "Actually, the old minister is not very clear. However, after the morning court, the old minister still checked. The princess that Ying Guang snatched back was named Jingshu. She traveled to various countries with a pseudonym Zhuge Yun, and she was quite talented and famous, which attracted countless noble men. Later, Ying Guang met him and seemed to be quite favored by Zhuge Yun. It was natural for the two to fall in love with each other. However, how did Ying Guang know that Jingshu was Zhuge Yun, and the old minister had limited abilities and was unknown for the time being."

King Zhao clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Yes, the news that Gu Wang got was similar to that of the old marquis. No matter what, it would be a good thing to disrupt the marriage between the two tribes!" As soon as his voice changed, King Zhao said fiercely: "White teeth on the empty mouth, can we really rob it if I robbed the princess in Daqin? Gu also said that he robbed my pasture!"

Wei Ran hesitated: "After that being said, Mengwu's army could not return on the border of Chu, so he rashly started a war with the two tribes. Once Longxi loses, our Qin Dynasty has no support. It would be fine if Ying Guang could defend it. If it could not defend, the people in Longxi County would be in trouble, Xianyang would also face war."

King Zhao nodded and said, "This is also my lonely worry. I, Daqin, cannot admit my mistakes to those small countries. Then this battle is inevitable. How to fight this battle? What do you two think."

Wei Ran said: "The old minister of food, supplies and supplies will make arrangements when he returns. After finishing the work tomorrow, he will head to Longxi one after another. Li Chong of Longxi is a capable official, and he thinks he can protect Yingguang's logistics without any worries."

Mengchong said: "Ying Guang's Molin camp has a total of 30,000 people, plus the original garrison, with a sufficient force of 40,000 troops. It is guarded by the wall. As long as there is enough food and supplies, the problem will not be too big. This battle can be fought."

"Okay!" King Zhao smiled and said, "With these words, I will feel at ease. I will treat the envoys of the two tribes tomorrow, and try to delay as many days as possible, so that Ying Guang can be prepared. It is not too early, so you two stay in the palace."

After seeing Meng Chong away first, Wei Ran took a walk around and stopped Wang Jia before King Zhao returned to his bedroom. He stepped back from the side of the palace. King Zhao looked at his uncle in confusion and asked, "Uncle should not rest early, but what else is there?"

"Oh!" sighed, and Wei Ran said tiredly: "There is one thing that my uncle has never told you. When King Wu died at the utmost strength, his uncle and your mother killed many people to ensure that you ascend the throne. Some of them were innocent and some were voluntary, but they never expected that we all missed it. King Wu also had a son!"

"What?!" King Zhao widened his eyes, his face was gloomy and sunny, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly.

"who is he?"

Wei Ran nodded approvingly, knowing that his nephew had a murderous intention, and said, "He is the commander of Mo Lin Camp, Ying Guang!" After pausing, Wei Ran continued, "I have arranged several snipers, but unfortunately this boy has a great life and has escaped."

King Zhao didn't say anything, and slowly paced in the hall. Wei Ran didn't say anything, and looked at King Zhao quietly.

After a while, King Zhao's voice came over, "Secretly control Ying Guang's mansion, see who is coming in and out, don't allocate too much food, grass and supplies, just meet daily needs. Let him guard the border for the orphan first."

Wei Ran was a little anxious and said, "Master, it is better to cut off the weeds as soon as possible, so that there will be less trouble."

After waved his hand, a light burst out from King Zhao's eyes. He smiled slightly, and he seemed to have no intention of following Wei Ran's advice.

"The Qin State is becoming increasingly powerful under Gu's leadership. Even if he is the son of King Wu, Gu has the confidence to let him use it for Gu." He clenched his fists vigorously and looked at his uncle who was worried about him. King Zhao smiled and said, "Uncle, please feel at ease. If Ying Guang really has the intention of being unjust, Gu will definitely crush him into powder!"

In Yuzhong City, Princess Jingshu's words did not seem to have the right effect. Ying Guang, as usual, ate well and slept soundly, without any concern for her future. As for Mo Yin, she followed Ying Guang like a shadow, and said that Ying Guang's kung fu was too poor and needed a master's guard. Qiaoer was angry and fought for her princess several times. Later, she found that she was indeed not Mo Yin's opponent, so she simply closed the door and drove Ying Guang to the army to stay.

Dian Jun and others knew the cause and effect of the whole thing, and couldn't help but worry for Ying Guang. This matter could be big or small. If someone in the court then he would make a fuss about this matter and just sending troops privately, he could take Ying Guang's head.

Regarding the brothers' concerns, Ying Guangxiao said: "You all put your heart on your stomach. The two tribes outside the pass must have sharpened their knives. Even if the king punishes them, it must be that we will repel the enemy. If we can achieve military merit by chance, it is not certain whether it is a reward or a punishment."

I discussed with Li Chong yesterday. The farmers in Longxi County all returned to various cities, and prepared sufficient food, grass and weapons. Yuzhong was like a bridgehead, standing on the border of the Qin Dynasty, waiting for the upcoming impact.
