Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 138
In front of a tall mansion, Zhou Chong, dressed in casual clothes, came striding forward with two tiger guards. With his hands clasped together, he said to the guards: "Please inform the gatekeepers that an old man is coming to visit Mr. Guo."

This mansion is the mansion of Guo Kai, the power minister of Zhao State.Guo Kai was a notoriously treacherous minister, he was greedy and vicious for money, it was through him that Wei Liao's countermeasures succeeded, King Zhao relieved Li Mu of his military power, Qin Jun was able to defeat Zhao Jun and destroy Zhao State.

Where there is a master, there must be servants. Not only is he greedy for money, but his servants are also greedy for money. The soldier squinted at Zhou Chong, the corners of his mouth almost cracked, and said with a sneer: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Guo has a great career?" , There are too many old friends, and they say they are here to visit Mr. Guo, but they are not here to rub the oil. Go and go, wherever you come, where you go, don't stand in the way."

Zhou Chong took out two gold cakes from his arms and threw them back and forth intentionally or unintentionally. The soldiers' eyes lit up, staring at the rising and falling gold cakes up and down. Swallow saliva.

"My gold cake is too small. I want to rub some oil and water with your Master Guo to make it bigger." Zhou Chong asked the soldier with malicious intentions, and said, "You guys say, is it okay?"

The soldier laughed before saying anything, and said, "My lord, you are so funny. You are so funny when you talk and laugh. My lord, please report your name, and I will let you know." He kept his eyes on the gold cake, meaning It is very clear that if you give him the gold cake, you will be notified.

Zhou Chong stuffed two gold cakes into his hands, and said, "It's a small thing, please have some wine, brothers."

"How embarrassing, sir!" The soldier held the gold cake in his hand tightly, pretending to evade, and said, "Master, may I ask your tuba size."

Zhou Chong said with a smile: "You just say that there are people from the west."

"Master, is this useful?" The soldier hesitated.

Zhou Chong said affirmatively: "It's useful, it's useful." Guo Kai was bribed by the Qin State, and when he said that someone came from the west, could he not see him?Of course it works.

The soldier said he was guilty, and trotted in.After a while, the soldier turned around and said, "My lord, Mr. Guo invites you in."

Guo Kai's communication with the state of Qin is extremely confidential, he did not come to meet Zhou Chong in person, Zhou Chong secretly praised in his heart, although this man is a bit greedy, he is still shrewd, he followed the soldiers in.

Seeing Guo Kai standing under the eaves from a distance, with a slender figure, a thin face, and a lot of shrewdness, people will be born with this person at the first sight. It's a pity that the light in his eyes is always a bit evil, not upright enough.

Guo Kai strode forward, clasped his fists with both hands, and smiled before saying a word. His smile was 100% friendly, but his eyes sneaked around Zhou Chong, looking for Zhou Chong's flaws, and said: "Guo Kai is polite, Guo Kai! Please forgive me for the inconvenience. Sir, please." He was shrewd and did not ask the name first, but went into the room before speaking.

Zhou Chong secretly praised again in his heart, said please, and entered the room with Guo Kai.Guo Kaihui retreated and said, "May I ask your lord Gao's name?"

"Recently, only one person from the west has come to Handan, and I am that person." Zhou Chong introduced himself, which was a bit of a riddle.

Guo Kai was overjoyed, and said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, you want to kill me, Guo Kai. Let me just say, Mr. Zhou came to Handan, why didn't you come to visit me, Guo Kai, I thought Guo Kai was not effective, no Enter Master Zhou's eyes." How can Guo Kai be unhappy when a celebrity around the King of Qin like Zhou Chong visits?
Zhou Chong flattered him, saying: "Master Guo was too worried. With Mr. Guo's help, our country has gone much smoother. This is all thanks to Mr. Guo. Thank you Zhou Chong."

Guo Kai laughed and said: "Master Zhou has won the award, Guo Kai only contributed a little bit, your country thanked me Guo Kai is a very generous gift. Guo Kai has seen many gifts in his life, but there are none as generous as your country. "

Wei Liao's plan was to use a lot of money to buy powerful officials from all over the world. Guo Kai was on the list. The King of Qin loved the country and not money. For a person with great usefulness like him, the gift he gave was naturally heavy. Can he not forget it?
Guo Kai was on the verge of getting excited, so Zhou Chong should say something nice to make him happy, but Zhou Chong sighed lightly and said, "Master Guo has a great family and countless wealth, Zhou Chong is worried that Master Guo will be blessed and accumulate wealth." , but there is no life to endure.”

Although the words came out of the blue, Guo Kai was terrified by what he said, and he blurted out: "What do you mean by Mr. Zhou? Did Mr. Zhou hear any news that is not good for me, Guo Kai? Who is going to do something to me, Guo Kai? We must make him suffer a terrible death." The more he spoke, the more startled he became, and the more ruthless he became.

Zhou Chong kept silent, shook his head and sighed.

"Master Zhou, you are talking." Guo Kai rubbed his hands, feeling extremely anxious.

Zhou Chong still did not speak, Guo Kai was really helpless, and said: "Master Zhou, what do you want to do? If you don't speak again, I will kneel down for you." As if to kneel, Zhou Chong supported him and said: "Master Guo , It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but it’s too difficult to talk about it, if Mr. Guo believes it, it’s good. If you don’t believe it, you think I’m alarmist.”

Guo Kai said anxiously: "Lord Zhou, believe it or not, you have to say it."

Zhou Chong pretended to be contemplative, and said: "Master Guo, from Zhou Chong's point of view, the loss of Mr. Guo's family property is a small matter, but the loss of his life is a major issue. Mr. Guo has made great contributions to Daqin, so I have to remind you."

Guo Kai was frightened by Zhou Chong's headless words, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhou, where did you start?"

Zhou Chong asked: "Master Guo, do you know what I intend to do when I come to Handan this time?"

"Building roads." Guo Kai replied, "What is your country's intention to build roads to the border of our country? Master Zhou, it is not your country that is going to war against our country?"

Zhou Chong didn't answer the question, but reminded him: "Qin and Zhao have good relations, how can there be a war. Taking a step back, even if there is a war, Zhao Guo is destroyed, what will be the loss to Mr. Guo? Zhao Guocun, Mr. Guo is a minister and a loyal minister. ;The state of Zhao is dead, Mr. Guo is a hero in our Great Qin, why should Mr. Guo worry about it?"

Guo Kai let go of his worries again, and said: "This is the king of Great Qin, who knows me, Guo Kai. Please tell the king, Lord Zhou, that Guo Kai will serve the king, and he will not hesitate to die."

"That's natural." Zhou Chong agreed, and said, "What is Mr. Guo's opinion on the road construction right now?"

Guo Kailue thought for a while, and said: "In this matter of road construction, there are mostly opponents in the court and in the middle, so I have no choice but to work with them. Lord Zhou please forgive me."

Zhou Chong clapped his hands lightly, and said with infinite regret: "Why is Mr. Guo known for a lifetime, but not for a while? This is a matter related to your wealth and life. Why do you follow what others say?"

Guo Kai was terrified again, and asked: "Master Zhou, the construction of this road will only benefit Qin, not Zhao. Qin's army is much more convenient to mobilize. If I don't object, they won't kill me." ?”

Zhou Chong slapped the table heavily, and said: "Master Guo, road construction is not good for Zhao, but it is good for Master Guo. Why didn't Master Guo seize the opportunity and let the opportunity slip away?"

Guo Kai was confused by Zhou Chong's words, and asked, "Master Zhou, where did you start?"
