"Everyone understands it." Xu Yangui said: "My people will arrive at Zhao Guodu earlier than them. At that time, their emperor and eldest daughter will be able to 'death' first, and leave the queen to deal with you."

He frowned slightly and said, "You may not be able to get the hand."

"Why?" Xu Yangui raised his eyebrows: "I have arranged everything. They are all people around the Emperor of Zhao, so it is very convenient to start."

"Qianbaimei has returned to Zhao State." Chen Zaiye lowered his eyes: "Your people can beat him?"

Looking at him in surprise, Xu Yangui couldn't understand: "What did he do when he returned to Zhao State at this time?"

"Taohua said he missed home."

"That's strange!" Xu Yangui glared: "Where did Qianbaimei get the home? He was alone!"

Chen Zaiye raised his eyes and said calmly: "So I said there will be variables, and you don't have to do it so early."

Some of the disciples were confused and frowned and asked, "What should we do now? We have to wait until His Majesty arrives in Zhao State before taking action?"

"Well, this is the most comprehensive way." Chen Zaiye said: "When you catch their queen, you will lock up the emperor and the eldest daughter of Zhao. In the chaos of Zhao, you will take the opportunity to support Jiang Changjue to the throne and then take Zhao as a vassal state. As long as Jiang Changjue is not stupid, he will agree to such conditions."

Everyone nodded and immediately discussed the details. Xu Yangui pulled Chen Zaiye aside and asked him in a low voice: "Have you told Jiang about this?"

"No." Chen Zaiye glanced at him: "I have to be so uneasy that I can't tell her this?"

"But." Xu Yangui frowned: "I always think she can notice it if you don't say it. It's better to explain it in advance. Zhao State is already sunset, and it's time to collect it as a vassal state. It's exempted from war and can make people in Zhao State live a better life. She should be able to understand it."

Understand? Chen Zaiye smiled and glanced at him and said, "I demolished your house and asked you to live in a greenhouse with others. Let me tell you that the environment around the greenhouse is better than your original house. Are you willing?"

Xu Yangui shook his head: "Then I definitely prefer my own house."

"That's it." Chen Zaiye said: "The people in Zhao State are still a bit proud, don't take it for granted. After this matter is completed, I will tell her again. And what you have to do is to try your best to capture their queen for me."

"I understand." Xu Yangui nodded.

The victory of the war has been passed back to the capital of Wei, and Li Jin, Yang Wanqing and others are preparing to set off for the trip to Zhao State. A few days before leaving, Li Jin invited Taohua to have tea at the Beimen Pavilion.

"Prime Minister Chen is a very powerful person." He looked at the woman opposite and said, "I am convinced if I lose to him."

Taohua rolled her eyes unhappily: "Prime Minister Li, you have never touched the chessboard before, so you won or lost."

Li Jin paused and felt helpless: "You still blame me? I thought you promised to come out with me this time, more or less forgiving me."

"Haha." Taohua smiled and said nothing: "Prime Minister Li doesn't need to think about anything else. I came today just to tell you about some major national affairs, not a private relationship with your children."

A major national event? Li Jin frowned: "You are a woman, why are you worried about these things?"

Taohua looked at him with her eyes and said lightly: "If all men in Zhao are useful, it is really not my turn to worry about it. The question is, Prime Minister Li, do you think that with your ability, can you defend the country of Zhao?"

Li Jin choked and lowered his head in embarrassment: "You don't know how I got the position of prime minister."

"So, you have to do me a favor." Taohua said: "The life and death of Zhao State depends on your ability now."

Li Jin was slightly shocked, and raised his eyes and saw Jiang Taohua handing over something. He opened it and looked at it. He frowned: "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Yes." Taohua said: "I don't do things that I'm not sure about. Just wait for me where I draw red lines on it."

"……good."

Taohua stood up and looked at him deeply: "You should stop betraying me this time."

"You all say that the matter is important, how could I betray you?" Li Jin was a little anxious: "Believe me!"

He looked up and down at him, pursed his lips, said nothing, and put on his cloak and walked out after saluting.

"Master." Qingmoe came to pick her up from outside and whispered: "The people who followed her were thrown away halfway. I checked carefully, and there was no one else around."

"Very good." Taohua got on the car: "Go to the market."

"Yes." Qingmos responded and drove to the market. Peach blossoms slowly selected things in the jewelry store. After a while, a neighing sound of horses sounded on the street outside the store.

"Master?" Taohua turned around and looked at him blankly: "Why are you here?"

Shen Zaiye strode into the jewelry store, looked around her, and then sighed relieved: "I didn't see you when I returned home, so I came out to look for it."

"Look at what I said." Taohua laughed, pinched a white jade hairpin and inserted it into his hair bun: "I just came out to choose a new hairpin for me, it's not that I'm missing."

With a slight eyebrow raised, Shen Zaiye reached out and touched the thing on his head, with a happier look in his eyes: "How dare you be generous and buy something for me?"

"In my heart, I am such a stingy person?" Taohua flattered her mouth: "Didn't you save enough money before? Now you have saved enough and bought the most expensive one for me. Are you still running me?"

The most expensive one? Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "You're intent."

He snorted lightly, Taohua asked Qingmose to pay the bill, then took his arm and walked out: "Go back to the mansion, I have prepared good things for you."

"Oh?" Shen Zaiye turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong with you? Suddenly I want to please me?"

Taohua smiled and blinked: "Aren't you already helping me a lot? You should also repay you one or two."

Is it really that good? Shen Zaiye didn't believe it, but when he returned home, he saw the table full of good wine and dishes, plus the new robe and cloak she had brought, he couldn't help but feel a little soft, hugging her and said, "You have been so well-behaved, so you won't make me so angry."

Taohua flattened her mouth: "I have always been very well-behaved, you just haven't noticed it."

With a chuckling, Shen Zaiye didn't plan to have this problem with her, and ordered the direction of the table with his chin: "I want to eat that."

Taohua inexplicably grabbed his hand and raised it in front of him: "Can you not hold it yourself?"

Withdrawing his hand and firmly embraced her waist, Shen Zaiye said with a serious look on his face: "I have no time for my hands."

Jiang Taohua: "..."

This person becomes childish and sometimes he really looks like a child!

He picked up food for him with amusedness and fed it to his mouth. Then he asked him to try on his robe and cloak. Peach blossom stroked the delicate patterns on his clothes and muttered: "This time I have been embroidering it for two months!"

Chen Zaiye nodded and said coldly: "Go to the account office to receive the reward later."

Jiang Taohua: "..."

He turned around and wanted to leave, but his waist was brought to his head. The sound of being in the wild sounded in her ears, making her feel goosebumps with gentleness: "Just tease you, don't take it seriously."

He raised his foot and stepped on him. After hearing his muffled groan, she calmed down: "I will not do it for you in the future if I do this!"

He responded softly, Chen Zaiye hugged her from behind, pulled his cloak and covered both of them, and whispered: "I will make one for me every year from now on, and it will have different colors."

The requirements are so high! Taohua pursed her lips, but she nodded and agreed. Anyway, she would not suffer any losses after responding. Let’s talk about the future.

The two stood in embrace each other, and the atmosphere was very good. Chen Zaiye suddenly asked: "Does Li Jin and the others go back to Zhao?"

"Yes." Taohua lowered her eyes: "Since the alliance has won, they should naturally return to their country. When the country begins to divide the country's state, they will send envoys to bring the letters of the country."

"Then do you want to send it to you?"

"I won't go." Taohua shook her head: "I'm not a close person."

Chen Zaiye nodded, and was about to say a few more words, but he heard the person in his arms exclaim: "It's snowing!"

He was slightly stunned, and he raised his eyes and saw thin snow falling down from the sky.

Taohua was a little excited and wanted to pick it up, but Xue melted when she touched her hand. Shen Zaiye smiled softly, covered her cloak on her hand, and then raised her hand to pick it up. The snowflakes fell on the cloak, and she had time to see the shape clearly.

"So beautiful." Taohua stared at the little snowflakes in the hexagon without blinking, and couldn't help but look up at the sky curiously: "Is it hard for the gods to throw such exquisite snowflakes down?"

Chen Zaiye laughed and gently tapped her head: "The gods are so busy, where do you get the time to make snowflakes?"

"But you see, it's really exquisite." Taohua handed the snowflakes on the cloak to him unconvincedly: "There are six corners and so many patterns in the middle, which is more cleverer than the most expensive hairpin in Zhenbaoxuan."

He blew off the snowflakes in one breath, Chen Zaiye reached out and touched her cold little face: "It's too cold, you'd better go in. I've seen your face not look good recently, so I'd better find a doctor to come and have time to see it."

"Yes." Taohua followed him into the house and closed the door and said, "It's not a big deal. I guess I've eaten less recently and I'm always dizzy."

"What are you doing to have a good meal?" Chen Zaiye frowned.

When the peach blossoms were posted, they acted coquettishly: "Because I haven't had a meal with me for a long time."

"...I've been a little busy lately." Chen Zaiye said: "Aren't you here with me today?"

Today, she prepared in advance, so he barely ate a few bites. Taohua sighed: "Can you use the dinner tomorrow with me?"

"Yes." Chen Zaiye nodded, touched her hand, and felt a little cold, so he stuffed her whole body into the bed: "Take good care of yourself, don't hold me back."

"I know." Covering the quilt, revealing a pair of watery eyes, Taohua asked him, "I'm going out tonight?"

"Well, there are still some things that need to be handled in the palace." Chen Zaiye said: "You go to bed first, you don't have to wait for me."

"Okay." Taohua responded, closed her eyes obediently, Shen Zaiye sat by the bed and guarded her for a while, and then she got up and walked out after seeing that she seemed to be asleep.

The door opened and closed, Taohua opened her eyes, waited for a while, and then called Qingmose in.

“Have you arranged it?”

"Okay." Qingmoe said nervously: "Thanks to Manager Xu who is still thinking about your kindness, he is willing to help."

"That's good." Take a deep breath and Taohua said, "If there is any accident tomorrow, don't worry, just take me to the north gate."

"I understand."

Zhao State needs time to breathe. As long as they are willing to give up their hands, or Changjue can fight for them for half a year, there will be rescued. However, this is easy to say and almost impossible to do. She can no longer stay here, becoming Changjue's concern and Shen Zaiye's bargaining chips.

She had to go back, maybe she could become a scruple of Shen Yuanzhang.

After so long, she could feel that Shen Zaizai cared a little about herself, but she was not sure about the depth of her care. If she cared shallowly, she had to go back, so as not to be really used by him to threaten Changjue in the future. If she cared deeply... then she should go back even more, perhaps she could get a glimmer of life in Zhao State.

Mu Wuxia's child was not as cruel as Shen Yan. He would definitely not agree to let him turn around and attack Zhao State immediately. But the people around him may not be sure. If he disobeys the situation, it would be bad. As long as she could arrive in time and persuade him, at least in the process of borrowing Zhao State, they would not have started a war so easily.

I made an appointment with Li Jin to meet at the North Gate. As long as she can say goodbye to Chen Zaiye smoothly and escape quietly, everything will be fine. However, there are so many unknowns. Jiang Taohua is also worried that she will be seen through by him. If this last dinner is exposed, all her efforts will be wasted.
To be continued...
