"Who's there?"
Zhao Jun, who was lost in his own thoughts, suddenly noticed a figure holding a lantern on the road ahead.
She was still some distance away from the man, and the coal lamps hanging on both sides of the road cast a thin figure.
Is it a woman?
In the palace, a girl suddenly appeared in the middle of the road. She was alone and not a maid.
Who is this person?
Zhao Jun raised his voice and slowly approached the other person.
"It's me, greetings to Lord Zhao."
The woman responded.
Zhao Jun gradually approached and saw her face clearly.
"Mrs. Qi?!"
Zhao Jun shouted in surprise.
How could it be her?
Zhao Jun could now see her face clearly.
Compared to the gorgeous makeup she wore a few years ago, Mrs. Qi's current dress is quite simple and plain.
However, Zhao Jun and her had only met once and had no interaction.
I even forgot her name, and vaguely remembered that her surname seemed to be Qi.
Why did she come to see me?
"Master Zhao, it's me."
Qi Huan nodded and responded in a low voice.
"Um, why are you here alone so late? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
She was really confused.
But as soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, the person opposite him suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
The sudden movement startled her.
"Master Zhao, please save me!"
Qi Huan suddenly started crying with tears and snot.
Zhao Jun silently took a step back.
"What are you talking about, Madam Qi? What happened to you that requires me to save you?"
Qi Huan's words were incomprehensible and Zhao Jun was completely confused.
"Lord Zhao, I beg you to talk to the king about not attacking Qi!"
Qi Huan knelt on the ground and begged crying.
?
What else did the other party say?
Zhao Jun’s head is full of question marks?
Is this woman mentally ill?
What does she think of me when she asks me for help on such an important matter in the court?
Zhao Jun was speechless.
"Mrs. Qi, please stop kidding me. How could I possibly decide on such a major matter? You've got the wrong person."
"No, Lord Zhao, only you can save us now. You are an important official of the court, and the king has great trust in you. As long as you go and ask the king not to attack Chu, the king will definitely consider it."
Qi Huan knelt on the ground with tears on his face and moved forward twice. His knees were already bleeding.
Zhao Jun was even more speechless.
Qi Huan continued speaking.
"I heard that Chu and Yan have been destroyed, and Qi cannot stay out of the conflict. However, Qi is really weak, and my father is truly loyal to the king. He will not go against Qin. He dare not."
"So can I ask you and the king to plead for mercy?"
After saying that, she tilted her head back and looked at her with a red nose and moist eyes.
His eyes were full of pleading.
Zhao Jun stared down at her expressionlessly.
This lady is not completely stupid. At least she is much smarter than her "King of Qi who believed that Ying Zheng would never do anything to him."
She knew clearly that after Chu and Yan, the next one would definitely be the only remaining Qi State.
It was impossible for Ying Zheng to coexist peacefully with the State of Qi.
She is just desperate and trying all kinds of methods to make a last-ditch effort.
only.
Coming to her for help is really a desperate move.
"Why should I help you?"
Zhao Jun stood there and spoke coldly. He looked particularly cold under the moonlight, and his words were even more indifferent.
Qi Huan was stunned for a moment.
"The unification of the six kingdoms by Ying Zheng is an inevitable trend, and no vassal state will be an exception."
"I agree with and support his decision, and that won't change."
"So there's no way I can plead for you. This is something no one can stop."
"If you want to be a moth drawn to the flame, I won't stop you. Go and talk to the king yourself."
After saying this, Zhao Jun didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so he walked past her and prepared to leave.
Why waste time talking to her?
Qi Huan suddenly stood up.
The look he gave Zhao Jun was no longer one of pitiful plea but rather one of a vicious sword.
"Mr. Zhao, I hate you. Why can't you pity me a little?"
"Your Majesty has already acquired such a vast territory, why can't you let Qi go? Qi is truly not a threat!"
"You cruel woman, there are so many innocent people in Qi State, why can't you save them?"
Qi Huanshen screamed at the top of his lungs.
Zhao Jun, who had already walked several steps away, looked back at her.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I just sighed.
"Different positions, different choices, different destinies."
After saying that, she left quickly without looking back.
No matter how Qi Huan yelled and questioned him, he never answered.
Zhao Jun was walking on the last stretch of the road before returning to the palace.
In fact, she had a lot to say in response to Qi Huan's question just now.
But in the end I gave up.
We have never been the same kind of people. No matter how much you talk to her, she will not understand what you mean.
Maybe it's like I can't empathize with her.
She also couldn't empathize with the decision made by Ying Zheng and me.
However, it is enough for me to have one or two people who do not need her empathy and can understand each other.
The sudden incident did not affect Zhao Jun's mood.
After returning to the palace, she even told Qingliu a joke for a long time, but immediately forgot about it.
However, she still got some news from Sun Cheng the next day.
