Prime Minister, don't pick up on integrity

Hearing Zhang Ping's so-called request, Li Si was so surprised that he couldn't believe his ears: "In this situation, you want me to take your son to Handan? This joke is not funny at all."

Although he was joking.But instead of smiling, Li Si's face was serious.

The atmosphere in the study was a bit depressing, and the children beside him grabbed Zhang Ping's clothes uncomfortably, looked at Zhang Ping nervously, and waited for their father's answer.

But Zhang Ping didn't seem to be affected by the tense atmosphere at all, he stayed in the bed slowly, bowed deeply to Li Si, and repeated his request again: "Zhang Ping wants to ask Brother Li to take Zhang Xiaoliang to Handan. "

This time, the expression on Li Si's face was completely stiff, and Zhang Xiaoliang climbed down on the bed at a loss, pulling at the hem of Zhang Ping's clothes. Although the child just stood silently like this, his round eyes were swollen It was clearly wet, and it seemed that golden beans would fall in the next moment.

After a moment of stiffness, Li Si quickly got up again and helped Zhang Ping up.

Zhang Ping got up and said to his son first.

"Zhang Xiaoliang, you go back first."

The child hesitated for a moment. Although he was still reluctant to part with him, he still walked away step by step.

After Zhang Xiaoliang went out, before Zhang Ping could speak again, Li Si asked excitedly: "Handan is the capital of the enemy country, and the current situation is extremely dangerous. What are you thinking?"

Zhang Ping waved his hand and replied very calmly: "Although King Zhao intends to tear up the covenant, no matter whether the alliance can be achieved or not, Zhao and South Korea are still allies after all. Besides, Yao Jia has been active in Handan for a year, and the contacts in Handan are basically the same. It has been opened, what is the danger?"

Li Si was at a loss for words for a while, what Zhang Ping said was not wrong, no matter whether He Zong could maintain the relationship, the relationship between South Korea and Zhao Guo was not deadlocked after all, but what he didn't understand was that Zhang Ping was so good, why did he let himself take his son Bring out Korea?

During this time, what happened?Or, Zhang Ping has foreseen something?

Before Li Siduo asked, Zhang Ping continued to say to him:

"Brother Li, you don't need to ask any more questions. You just need to tell me whether you agree."

Pressed like this, Li Si didn't know how to answer. The expression on his face kept changing. Finally, he couldn't restrain the emotion in his heart. He stood up suddenly, waved his sleeves and shouted at Zhang Ping, "Tell me! Why exactly!"

Li Si's voice was trembling because of excitement, but Zhang Ping just stood up, grabbed Li Si's hand, and looked at Li Si motionlessly.

Stared at by those too calm eyes, Li Si's excited mood calmed down a lot in an instant.

"Brother Li, do you still remember what I said to you? There is a saying in my family that a gentleman never walks on thin ice, but because of you, I repeatedly took risks. At first, I didn't understand, but now I I understand a little bit, maybe deep in my heart, I long to be a person like you... It's just a pity..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ping's words stopped abruptly. After a long pause, Zhang Ping continued: "Zhang Ping is not a great person, but you are different, and that kid should be different. Brother Li taught him, we I'm very relieved."

Li Si couldn't refuse the sad and emotional words. Although he vaguely felt something was wrong, Li Si didn't think much about it at the time. After hesitating for a moment, he still agreed to Zhang Ping's request.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Si will leave Xinzheng and rush to Handan in three days.

On the outskirts of Xinzheng that day, there were no officials and ministers who saw Li Si off, not even Han Fei, and Zhang Ping was the only one who gave them a farewell wine.

"Brother Li, it's been hard going to Handan. I'm waiting for the good news in Xinzheng."

Zhang Ping raised the bottle, and had a drink with Li Si, one after another, seeing that the pot of wine was quickly finished, and it was time to say goodbye, but the child behind Zhang Ping was still holding on to his father tightly Sleeves, seems not to want to leave at all.

Zhang Ping couldn't bear it, but he didn't regret it. He touched his son's head, and Zhang Ping instructed: "Zhang Xiaoliang, after arriving in Handan, be careful when you encounter problems and listen to your master."

"Daddy..." the child cried sadly, but Zhang Ping pretended not to hear, his eyes were lowered, and after the water in his eyes finally faded, he turned his gaze to Li Si, and cupped his hands deeply. Arch, no further words.

But from Zhang Ping's deep eyes looking at him, Li Si had already seen the meaning. Zhang Ping was asking him to save the situation in South Korea and take good care of his son.

Because, they had pinned all their hopes on Li Si.

When the carriage left Xinzheng, Zhang Liang, who left his father for the first time, was naturally very reluctant. As the carriage gradually drifted away, the child still looked at the direction of departure and cried for a long time. After crying tired, he lay on his pillow. He fell asleep with Li Si's legs.

At first, Li Si was still a little worried about how he should coax Zhang Xiaoliang when he woke up, but the child is a child after all, and after waking up again, he was immediately attracted by the strange sights outside the carriage that he had never seen before, not only did he not feel sad anymore Instead, he pestered Li Si to ask this and that curiously.

In this way, the carriage stopped and stopped along the way. A few days later, the convoy finally arrived at the destination of their trip - Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

Although Handan is the capital of the State of Zhao, it seems that it is far inferior to the prosperity of Xianyang in the State of Qin, and it is not even comparable to the current Xinzheng City.

But the strange thing is that it is such a city, but it makes all the people who come here have such a feeling-this is indeed Handan, the unique Handan city.

Even if it is not prosperous enough, it also has its own unique charm.

If Xianyang City is a city compatible with the seven kingdoms, then Handan City is a capital city with a unique exotic style.

After entering Handan City, Li Si discovered that there were many barbarians walking on the streets of Handan City, and he even saw a few restaurants opened by barbarians. They were also Orchids, which surprised him a little.

And little Zhang Liang, who had never seen a barbarian or Hu Ji, leaned on the window of the car, looked out without blinking, and from time to time would point to the strange barbarians outside the car and the things they brought. The merchandise that came shouted to Li Si: "Mr. Mr.! What is that?"

"Those are Hu merchants."

After the initial surprise passed, Li Si remembered at this time that since King Zhao Wuling of Zhao State introduced Hufu riding and shooting, not only Zhao State's national power has been booming, but also the exchanges with the surrounding nomadic Hu people have become more frequent.Therefore, Hu Ji and Hu Shang, which can be called a novelty in other countries, are only rare in Handan.

It's just a pity that with the death of King Wuling of Zhao because of the rebellion, after the Qin-Zhao Changping War, Zhao's national power has declined, but this kind of orchid-loving atmosphere has become more and more prosperous, and there are more and more orchid restaurants in Handan City. The entire Handan city can be described as endlessly singing and dancing, and there is a sense of obscenity everywhere.

Such a state of Zhao naturally cannot continue to compete with Qin. In fact, judging from the current national strength of the Six Kingdoms and Qin, no country can compete with Qin, plus the wise monarch who is about to take charge of the government.

The figure of Ying Zheng emerged in Li Si's mind, the boy who was trying to save himself, the boy with his eyes closed and his face flushed...

What kind of wise monarch is this? He is clearly in heat!

Realizing that he seemed to have lost his mind, Li Si hurriedly shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the picture in his mind.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

The child's crisp voice rang in his ears. Although he knew what the child was thinking, Li Si replied ruthlessly, "Go directly to the posthouse."

Zhang Xiaoliang's eyes dimmed instantly, and the carriage continued to drive towards the posthouse.

After arriving at the post house, the group of people were arranged in a small courtyard in the post house. After Li Si settled the caravan, he was about to go out and go to the wine shop to inquire about some news. Just as he was walking out the door, suddenly He found that his sleeve was pulled.

Li Si looked back, Zhang Xiaoliang behind him was looking straight at him, holding his sleeve.

Seeing Li Si turning his head back, Zhang Xiaoliang first subconsciously looked away, but then he quickly looked at Li Si with pitiful eyes, and begged in his mouth: "First, sir, I want to go too. I'll go with you."

Li Si had no choice but to take a child to a restaurant. It seemed inappropriate, but just when Li Si was about to ruthlessly refuse, he happened to meet the child's eyes full of hope, and those eyes seemed to say to him: please, please...

Forget it, there is nothing wrong with having a baby.

Thinking helplessly like this, Li Si took Zhang Xiaoliang's hand and walked out the door, and at the same time instructed: "Follow me closely for a while, and don't run around."

As soon as Li Si promised to take him out, the child was naturally overjoyed, and jumped up and down beside Li Si, Zhang Xiaoliang agreed loudly: "Yes! Sir!"

According to the attendants at the post house, the largest wine shop in Handan City was also run by a barbarian, and it was not far from here.

But it was a short distance, but Li Si walked for a long time to arrive, and the reason was the little greedy cat that Li Si brought out.

Because Zhang Liang came from a family and his father was a high-ranking Korean official, he rarely went out except for festivals. Now he suddenly saw delicious food on the side of the road that he had never seen before. Naturally, Zhang Liang couldn't walk. Let Li Si buy this and that to eat.

So, Li Si had no choice but to buy snacks along the way, from candied haws, doughnuts, roast leg of lamb, fresh winter dates... Zhang Xiaoliang didn't miss any of them.

In this way, Li Si, who was walking while buying and eating, holding the roast leg of lamb in one hand and holding the child in the other, could be considered to have found the wine shop that the attendant said.

Coincidentally, when Li Si just entered the restaurant, there was a scholar talking loudly in the hall.

And what this scholar is talking about is Li Mu, the general of Zhao State who is leading the army to attack Yan this time.
