~Date: ~October 26th~

Bi Shu handed over the two invitations to Hu Yan and reminded him: "Send someone to send these two invitations, one to the Lou Mansion and the other to the Zhao Mansion. Remember, the invitations to the Lou Mansion are half an hour later than the Zhao Mansion!"

Hu Yan took the invitation and asked in confusion: "Can you please Zhao Yan?"

Bi Shu sighed lightly and whispered: "If you want to convince Qi to form an alliance with our Great Chu, it may not be possible to rely on Lou Jing, the old fox, alone. You have to move away from Zhao Yan's stumbling block."

"Is the General saying that Zhao Yan is eliminated?" Hu Yan was stunned, "Just relying on these two invitations?"

Bi Shu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "General Huyan, don't underestimate these two invitations. As long as they are used just right, they are just two killing knives!"

"Is that true?" Hu Yan was horrified.

At dusk, an invitation was quietly delivered to the residence of military advisor Zhao Yan.

When the clerk hurried into the study with the invitation, Zhao Yan was sighing at the portrait of the former king Han Xin. The crack between the new king Han He and him was getting bigger and bigger. Although he was full of knowledge, he could only express his powerlessness. Once this person had preconceived prejudice, it would be too difficult to change his views.

Moreover, Zhao Yan didn't want to imitate the villain and pretended to be charmed. He had to say it.

Hearing the footsteps coming from behind, Zhao Yan asked without looking back: "What's the matter?"

The clerk under the school walked behind Zhao Yan quickly and replied respectfully: "The Chu envoy Bishu sent someone to send an invitation and ask the military advisor to go to the camp outside the city to attend the evening banquet."

"Bishu invites me to the banquet?" Zhao Yan turned around in shock and took the invitation from the minor official.

The little official retracted his hands and suddenly said, "Military advisor, the villain thought there was no good banquet, so it would be better not to go."

"Is there a good banquet?" Zhao Yan put down the invitation in his hand and said sneeringly, "Can it be a Hongmen Banquet?"

To be honest, Zhao Yan really eliminated Bishu and started to do it. If he could exchange his death for Qi to join the Lianheng Alliance, he would never be greedy for his life. However, Zhao Yan knew better that even if he had the will to die, he was afraid that Bishu would not do this. After all, it was Qi, not Chu, and Bishu would definitely not be unwise.

Of course, if you change the occasion, I am afraid that Bi Shu will definitely attack without hesitation.

Zhao Yan said at the moment: "It just so happened that in front of the king, my military advisor was inconvenient to say something to the banquet. My military advisor took the opportunity to make it clear and let Bi Shu retreat as soon as possible."

The little official wanted to persuade him again, but Zhao Yan said without hesitation: "You don't have to say more, go and prepare the car."

"Now." Seeing that Zhao Yan had made up his mind, the little official stopped saying anything and immediately went there.

Before a while, the carriage was ready and got out of the mansion. He came all the way out of Linzi City. When he arrived at the Chu Camp, he was surprised to tell that Bi Shu was not there.

After waiting in the big tent for nearly half an hour, Zhao Yan gradually became impatient. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Bi Shu's voice suddenly came from outside the tent. Bi Shu seemed to be celebrating another person. The man's voice sounded a little familiar. When he heard it carefully, he was the prime minister Lou Jing, what was Lou Jing doing here?

Suspicion arose in his heart, Zhao Yan took back his hands that were about to lift the curtain.

Through the curtain, Bi Shu said, "Lou Xiang, you had agreed to me last night. But today's court discussions never commented on me? I'm so disappointed."

Lou Jing seemed a little embarrassed and whispered: "General, why did you mention this old saying again? Didn't the original minister say that? Zhao Yan firmly opposed it. He was an important minister of the previous king's entrusted to him. Before the original minister was sure, it would be better not to express his opinion easily, otherwise if there was a dispute in the palace, there would be no room for maneuver."

Zhao Yan was furious. He didn't expect that Lou Jing had already secretly turned to Chu State. Although he knew that this was a game designed by Bi Shu, Zhao Yan could not control the anger in his heart. Lou Jing was not without eyesight. It was impossible for him to be unable to see the essence behind the fog. Then, Lou Jing still chose to turn to Chu State, which only means that he no longer optimistic about Qi State!

For Qi and Zhao Yan, Lou Jing's actions were a complete betrayal! This traitor!

At that moment, Zhao Yan suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out strode. Bi Shu was walking here, Lou Jing instinctively stepped back. Seeing Zhao Yan walking out of the tent, Lou Jing was shocked and couldn't react at once.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Bi Shu's mouth, and he bowed to Zhao Yan and said, "Ah, Military Advisor Zhao has arrived?"

Zhao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Bi Shu at all, so he just slapped Lou Jing coldly and then left.

Looking at Zhao Yan's back that was quickly leaving, Lou Jing could only shake his head and smile bitterly, then turned around and stared at Bi Shu, and said hatefully: "General, I treat you with sincerity, but you are planning on me behind my back. Isn't this too unkind?"

"Uh, where did Lou Xiang start?" Bi Shu certainly would not admit this and pretended to be stupid, "Didn't you say that, besides Lou Xiang, there is another important guest at the banquet tonight."

"But you didn't say where the other person was a military advisor?" Lou Jing said, "Now you have cheated the original minister. If the military advisor returns, he will not go to the king to report his original complaint?" At this point, Lou Jing suddenly felt aroused and said in a deep voice, "No, the original minister should hurry back to the city and go into the palace overnight to see the king."

Before he finished speaking, Lou Jing turned around and left.

"Lou Xiang walked slowly." Bi Shu waved his hand and smiled, "No sending."

Lou Jing shook his sleeves impatiently at Bi Shu and soon disappeared into the night.

Huyan's tower-like figure suddenly walked out of the shadow, came to Bishu and said, "General, Qi State is afraid that the generals and ministers will be in harmony, so there is a lot of fun to watch." After a while, Huyan asked again, "General, who will win in this life-and-death battle in the end? Zhao Yan or Lou Jing?"

"Is this more necessary?" Bi Shu said, "Zhao Yan was too square in his work and did not know how to adapt. King Han He of Qi was already dissatisfied with him. If Lou Jing had bitten back after returning and accused Zhao Yan and my Dachu of secretly writing songs, with Zhao Yan's gentleman nature, he would not only not defend anything, but he would also commit suicide to show his ambition?"

After pausing, Bi Shu said again: "It's just a pity that Zhao Yan, another Kuai Che."

Hu Yan felt unbearable and said, "General, can Zhao Yan really survive if he says so?"

Bi Shu sighed softly and said, "Although this move is a bit despicable, it is really helpless."

Hu Yan said carelessly: "The general is devoted to planning for the Great Chu, why should he blame himself?"

"After that being said, it's not a gentleman to plot against others behind the scenes." Bi Shu shook his head and said, "But I'm impatient to follow the power. If my senior brother arrives in Linzi, I'm afraid there will be no chance again."

#############

On the road leading from Handan to Linzi, three hundred Han cavalry were protecting Bai Mo and galloping eastward overnight.

Zhou Guanfu urged the horse to go forward and walk with Bai Mo, and advised somehow: "Prime Minister, it has been a few days since Bi Shu arrived in Linzi. Maybe the attitude of King Han He of Qi has changed. Is it too dangerous for us to go rashly like this? Why not send a minor official to fight the front station first, or take a step first?"

Bai Mo shook his head and said worriedly: "Shengzhi, you are extremely brave, but your strategy is not enough. This time, you went to Linzi to compete with it was not force but wisdom. This matter involves a trait of straits. You are definitely not a match for Brother Bishu. Even if you send a minor official to you, you will not be able to do it. State affairs are not a joke."

Zhou Guanfu said: "But Prime Minister, you are a huge tree that is the great man who can't take any risks."

Bai Mo said: "Until now Qi State is still an ally of the Han Dynasty. My junior brother is as safe as a rock in the enemy's capital. As the prime minister of the allied country, will he still be in danger?" After that, Bai Mo reached out and patted Zhou Guanfu on the shoulder and said, "I guess Han He will not be unwise."

"Well." Zhou Guanfu tightened his hand tightly and said with a grim voice, "If Han He's son is really bad, even if he is fighting for this life, he will definitely protect the Prime Minister from the siege."

Bai Mo waved his hand and said, "It's not true that he is safe, but some Lou Jing will be convinced by Bi Shu. If Lou Jing and Bi Shu join forces, Zhao Yan will be afraid that he will not be able to withstand it. In addition, Zhao Yan is a gentleman who is Fang Zheng and ignorant of flexibility, so he will suffer a great loss. My, by the time we arrive, the situation in Qi State will be played by Bi Shu."

#############

Han He yawned and walked into the side hall, and rushed to the side hall with some dissatisfaction. Lou Jing, who was waiting at the steps, shouted: "When is it now? You can't talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do, so you have to do it? That's true."

Seeing Han He's appearance, Lou Jing breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. It seemed that Zhao Yan was really a gentleman, and he did not run to Han He to make trouble.

However, Lou Jing could only say sorry to Zhao Yan.

Lou Jing said respectfully: "King, if you have important matters, I have to meet you at the night of Yin."

"Okay, okay." Han He waved his hand impatiently and said, "What's the matter?"

Lou Jing bowed again and lowered his voice and said, "King, after nightfall, I casually found an excuse to go to the Chu camp outside the city. I wanted to explore the Chu people's bottom, but I never expected that I would meet the military advisor in the Chu camp!"

"Hey, what's the matter?" Han He said disapprovingly, "The military advisor is probably the same as you, and wants to explore the Chu people's bottom."

"If things were so simple, how dare I enter the palace in Yinye to disturb the king Qingmeng?" Lou Jing said, "It was dark at that time. I was hiding in the night outside the Chu camp. I clearly saw Bi Shu sending the military advisor out of the gate. Moreover, the two of them were talking and laughing, and when they parted, they whispered for a long time, but they didn't know what they were saying."

"Is this actually happening?" Han He's face suddenly sank.

But soon, Han He said again: "No, it's still wrong. The military advisor is strongly opposed to forming an alliance with Chu. How could he get involved with Bi Shu?"

"I don't know this minister anymore." Lou Jing spread his hands and said, "Master, why not call the military advisor to ask."

"Okay." Han He nodded and immediately called the palace servant to summon Zhao Yan.
