Chapter 216 Zhao Kuo's Careful Plan

As the supreme ruler of Chu, since the King of Chu had announced the decision in public, it was impossible for anyone to question or change it.

The so-called three animals are chickens, dogs, and horses. These three animals are also sacrifices often used for sacrifices in the Warring States Period. After the order of the King of Chu, their blood was quickly presented in three different small tripods.

The King of Chu looked solemn, and he reached out and stained the blood among the three small tripods. Then he applied the blood to his lips, and then said to Zhao Kuo: "Mr. Wu Xin, please."

Zhao Kuo also walked up with a serious look on his face, and like the King of Chu, he used his fingers to dip the blood of three animals and applied them to his lips.

The King of Chu was followed by Chunshen Jun, Zhao Zhong, Qu Feng and other important officials, and Zhao Kuo was followed by Han Fei, Li Si and other mission officials. Nine people were each from both sides, and each completed the same action as the King of Chu and Zhao Kuo.

This is the famous "Blood-for-Encourt" in ancient times.

In the eyes of people in this era, the ceremony of blood as a alliance is carried out with the blood sacrificed to the heavens, which is equivalent to being witnessed by God Tai in heaven. It is equivalent to both sides making oaths and guarantees to God, which is the most advanced one of the covenants.

After the bloodshed, the Chu State document on the side sent a wooden slip a foot wide, with two alliances written in the text of Zhao and Chu State, located on the left and right parts of the wooden slip.

Under the witness of everyone, Zhao Kuo and King Chu held the same dagger to cut the wooden slip open, and then pressed their handprints on the wooden slip, and kept one for each.

Until here, the entire blood alliance ceremony was completely over.

After doing all this, the King of Chu was obviously relieved and laughed: "Come here, prepare a banquet soon. I will treat Wu Xinjun well today to celebrate the alliance between the two countries!"

After the King of Chu finished speaking, Zhao Kuo and Chunshen Jun smiled happily, while the other three major families looked depressed, as if they were lost.

Jingyang Prefecture.

"What, do you say that Zhao Kuo convinced the king and had already become an alliance with the king?"

Jing Yang couldn't believe the news he heard at all. After a while, he suddenly roared: "This is impossible, how could the king be deceived by Zhao Kuo?"

Suddenly, Jing Yang was so crazy that he slammed the table in front of him and directly overturned the table. The many simple inks on it suddenly spilled all over the floor.

Jing Yang stood in the room with a ferocious expression on his face, and after a long time he let out an extremely resentful word.

"Zhao Kuo, it's all the fault of this damn Zhao Kuo!"

Zhao Kuo didn't know that Jing Yang, who was confined because of Zhao Kuo, inexplicably hated Zhao Kuo to his bones, or Zhao Kuo actually didn't care about this matter.

After the dinner with the King of Chu, Zhao Kuo stayed in Chencheng for another five days and completed some final work.

During these five days, after intense and intense consultations, Xu Li, under Zhao Kuo, and Li Yuan, under Chunshenjun, basically completely finalized the details of all aspects of the ginseng business.

As long as Zhao Kuo returns to Handan, the first batch of goods will be officially shipped from Zhao to Chu, and the Chu ginseng channel will be basically completed.

Xu Li happily held the contract signed by both parties and said to Zhao Kuo: "June, the old minister has estimated that the nobles of Chu are very rich, and they are expected to bring us at least four to five million yuan in profits every month!"

Zhao Kuo's reaction to this was very simple: "Oh, I got it."

This is undoubtedly a very amazing number. If it were a year or two ago, this number would definitely make Zhao Kuo wake up from his dream. However, Zhao Kuo now has the ginseng channels of Qin, Qi, Zhao, and Yan, and has secret smuggling business with Yan and Qi. There are too many places to come for money, so he is already a little numb.

At this time, Zhao Kuo suddenly understood why Mr. Ma from Ali in later generations always liked to say that he had no feelings about money anymore. Now Zhao Kuo also has the same feeling as Mr. Ma.

If this person is too rich, it seems that he is not as happy as when he makes money when he is poor. It is really strange.

In addition to finalizing the ginseng business, Zhao Kuo was not idle during this period and met many ministers of Chu who came to visit one after another.

Zhao Kuo's identity and status are here. There are not too many people in this world who want to get Zhao Kuo together, and of course, the State of Chu is no exception.

Zhao Kuo could also understand the thoughts of these ministers of Chu. To put it nicely, they would be familiar with Zhao Kuo and make friends. To put it bluntly, if Zhao Kuo really leads his troops to Chu, these visits today might benefit these ministers of Chu a lot.

Through meetings with these ministers of Chu, Zhao Kuo also understood the current situation of Chu and expanded his connections in Chu, which would also be beneficial to the activities of the nightingales in Chu in the future.

After all this was done, on the morning of the sixth day, Zhao Kuo officially left Chencheng.

Since Zhao Kuo was not the same king as the King of Chu, the King of Chu did not send him to him personally, but instead entrusted the Chu commander Yin Chunshen to see him off.

Outside the north gate of Chencheng, Chunshen Jun held Zhao Kuo's hand and said sincerely: "Wu Xinjun, you have helped me a lot this time!"

Chunshenjun really didn't tell any lies. Zhao Kuo's arrival helped Chunshenjun suppress the three major families in politics, and even opened up a channel for ginseng in finance, allowing Chunshenjun to be a profit on both sides.

In Chunshenjun's opinion, Zhao Kuo is a perfect and good person! Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Jun Hou has praised you. This time, if you don't have Jun Hou's help, it will be difficult for me to complete my mission."

The two looked at each other and laughed, feeling quite sympathetic.

After saying goodbye for a moment, Zhao Kuo was about to board the carriage when he suddenly remembered something again. He stopped in his heart, turned around and walked towards someone next to Chunshenjun.

Zhao Kuo smiled at Li Yuan and said, "Li Jiazai, your ability has left a deep impression on me this time.

If you have the chance in the future, I want to communicate with you more happily!"

After saying that, Zhao Kuo patted Li Yuan on the shoulder, smiled and bowed to Chunshenjun beside him, and got in the car and left.

Looking at Zhao Kuo's departure carriage, Chunshenjun's smile gradually calmed down, and he looked at Li Yuan beside him without a trace, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

On the carriage, Xu Li couldn't help but ask Zhao Kuo a question: "Why did Jun Hou go and say those words to Li Yuan when he left?"

After all, Xu Li was Zhao Kuo's confidant for many years. Some of Zhao Kuo's abnormal behaviors can be hidden from others, but it is difficult to hide from Xu Li.

Zhao Kuo knocked on the car window and showed a very mysterious smile: "Actually... it's just a little trick."

Xu Li no longer asked questions, but took this matter to heart.

My husband’s little trick is definitely not that simple! In the distance, two figures were silently watching the departure of Zhao Kuo’s convoy.

The man standing behind asked in a low voice: "Mr. Ji Hou, did you let Wu Xinjun leave this time?

Or... organize another assassination?"

Ji Hou, the leader of the Qin secret spy, sneered and said slowly: "Zhaozhong, a useless old man, is useless, I disguised myself as a disguise to show him advice. Unexpectedly, he was refuted by Zhao Kuo in the main hall! Forget it, I have made arrangements in other countries, and it is not because of the failure of Chu that I have nothing.

Let's go back to Guanzhong!"

The follower responded and led two horses.

Ji Hou turned over the horse and turned around to look at Zhao Kuo's convoy for the last time.
