"Come, let me toast Brother Peng. Firstly, I would like to thank you for saving my life. Secondly, I would like to apologize for my inability to recognize Brother Peng at first sight." Fusu said and drank the wine in one gulp. At this time, it was already

In the room next to Fusu's bedroom, wine and food were placed in front of the two of them. The swordsman who rescued Fusu was Peng Hong, a former member of the Zhao family who had rescued Fusu when he entered Xianyang in the snow.

Peng Hong didn't dare to take it seriously. After Fusu repeatedly persuaded him to drink, he drank the glass of wine.

"I didn't expect that Brother Peng is not only agile, but also admirable for his swordsmanship." Fusu said with a smile.

"Sir, no, you are giving me too much of a compliment. I'm ashamed to say that since Peng Hong learned this sword technique, he thought he had few opponents. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by that assassin today." After hearing Fusu's praise, Peng Hong thought that he had few opponents.

Hong Mang said modestly.

"This assassin can be considered a strange person. Brother Peng doesn't need to take it to heart. By the way, you came here this time to join Fusu in order to gain a higher status?" Fusu raised his wine glass and motioned for him to drink.

"Exactly, now that my mother has passed away, I still have a lot of skills, so I should find a wise master to express my ambitions." Peng Hong said very simply.

"Then why didn't you come to me directly? But you suddenly appeared on my roof at night?" Fusu looked at him curiously.

After listening to Fusu's question, Peng Hong showed some embarrassment on his face. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Young Master, ah, no, the prince is laughing. Before I came to Shangjun, I heard that there were people everywhere.

There has been an uprising, and my home country Zhao has been re-established. Now it has begun to recruit troops and plans to start over again, so I intend to return to Zhao to serve the country. But I remembered that I had an appointment with the prince before, so I came to see you.

Look, if the prince is really Peng’s worthy master, then Peng will work for the prince in every possible way.”

"I see, no wonder I had to see you come to me." Fusu chuckled, not feeling the slightest bit unhappy because of Peng Hong's hesitation.

Seeing his sincere smile, Peng Hong felt that his choice was right, and continued: "I have been here in Shangjun for more than ten days, and I found that the prince can indeed bring a good life to the people of the world. The people and sergeants here

We live in peace and harmony, and the faces of the common people don’t look worried like people in other places, so I know that the prince is the master Peng is looking for.”

"So Brother Peng is planning to stay with me?" Upon hearing his intention, Fusu hurriedly stood up and looked at him, with an expectant look on his face.

"Yes, I originally planned to come to see the prince officially tomorrow." Peng Hong said and took a sip of wine, "But unexpectedly, I saw a sneaky figure outside the prince's hotel today. I'm afraid that you

There was danger, so I crouched on the prince's roof all night, but unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to save the prince."

"I see. How could it be such a coincidence that you just appeared on my roof and saved me?" Fusu couldn't help but sweat over this coincidence. If he hadn't been careful, he might have died today.

The Mozi disciple fell with his sword.

"It's a pity that the prince was restrained with a sword as soon as he entered the door, and I couldn't save him." Peng Hong said with shame.

Fusu saw the shame on his face and said hurriedly: "This is also something unexpected. If Brother Peng hadn't come to the rescue, I'm afraid Fusu wouldn't be able to drink with you here. But since you have discovered that person, why don't you come in with me?"

Did you inform me in front of the house?"

"That assassin is not the figure I found below." Peng Hong said something that made Fusu even more surprised. "If this assassin was me, I wouldn't be able to find him anyway, but that sneaky figure can make me easily

Discover."

"Is there someone else who wants to do harm to me?" Fusu had a thought in his mind, and then asked: "Then can you see where that figure went?"

"I saw him entering a house to the left of the prince's residence. I didn't know what he was doing."

"He went to Li Heng's residence? Is there someone who wants to harm me as a military advisor?" Thinking of this, Fusu stood up and said: "Come, follow me to Mr. Li's residence to explore." The guards were busy.

He walked over and followed Fusu to the house next door.

When they arrived at Li Heng's residence, they found that he had not yet fallen asleep. Fusu breathed a sigh of relief. Li Heng was also shocked when he learned that Fusu had been assassinated. He asked about the situation at the time and did not let go until he confirmed that Fusu was safe and sound.

Xinlai. Then Fusu told Li Heng his purpose of coming. Upon hearing this, Li Heng ordered people to carefully search for anyone suspicious, but found nothing.

After a while, after getting all the unsuspicious answers, Li Heng said: "There is no suspicious person here at all. I guess Brother Peng is overly worried. Maybe that figure is just a thief."

Fusu was also relieved. At this time, he found that Li Heng's face was a little pale, so he asked: "Sir, are you feeling unwell? Do you need a doctor to take a look?"

"No, the prince should know that Li Heng himself has some medical skills, and I can treat minor illnesses myself. By the way, the prince will set off to quell the rebellion tomorrow, so he'd better rest early today."

Fusu glanced strangely at Li Heng, who was eager to drive him away. He didn't know why he had a bad premonition. But thinking that he might have been assassinated today made him a little suspicious, so he threw this idea away.

After that, he said: "In this case, Mr. Li, please rest early. I'll leave first." After that, he took everyone back.

Li Heng looked at Fusu's leaving figure with complicated eyes, showing both relief and a hint of guilt.

After returning to the hotel, Fusu put down Peng Hong, who had not said a word since meeting Li Heng, and asked curiously: "Brother Peng, what's going on? Did you still find something wrong with Mr. Li's residence?"

?”

Peng Hong looked at Fusu for a long time, until he saw that Fusu was a little confused, and then he said seriously: "I don't know whether to take what the prince said next or not. Since the prince asked me, I also plan to surrender to the prince."

, then I will tell you directly, and I hope the prince will not blame me."

Looking at Peng Hong's serious expression, Fusu felt nervous for no reason. He hurriedly led Peng Hong to a side room and ordered all his guards to go out. Then he said: "There are only you and me here. Now I am nothing."

Prince, you and I are only friends. If you have anything to say, just say it. Even if what you say is wrong, I won't take it to heart."

Peng Hong glanced at Fusu with admiration and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. As soon as I saw Mr. Li, I felt that he looked familiar."

"Is there such a thing?" Fusu asked strangely, and then he remembered something and said, "I forgot that you are a member of the 100th household of the Zhao State. This Mr. Li was also a guest minister under the general Li Mu of the Zhao State. You and he have met before.

But it’s not surprising.”

"No, when the prince was talking to him and his servants were looking for suspicious people in the house, I thought about it carefully and thought of his identity." Peng Hong said, his face became very serious.

Fusu was also aroused by his words and asked: "He is not a guest, so who is he?"

Peng Hong did not answer his question and said to himself: "Originally, with my status, it is impossible for me to know a noble person like him, but I was persecuted by him just because I offended his servants.

That's why I resigned from the position of Baihu angrily, so I met him once, but I didn't expect that I would see him again today."

After hearing what Peng Hong said, Fusu became even more curious about Li Heng's true identity, and asked again: "Then who is Mr. Li?"

"His surname is not Li, his surname is Zhao! He is the brother of the original King Zhao, Zhao Jia, and his name is Zhao Heng!" Peng Hong said coldly.

"He is a descendant of the Zhao Guo royal family? Then why is he willing to remain anonymous to help me?" Fusu murmured, feeling dizzy from the explosive answer.

"I don't know this. But I am willing to use my life to guarantee that he is not Li Mu's guest. He is Zhao Heng, a descendant of the royal family of Zhao!" Peng Hong's words were decisive, without a trace of hesitation.

Fusu lay quietly on the couch, but his heart was in turmoil. This night really surprised him. First, an assassin attacked, and then an old man came to rescue him, but what he found most unbelievable was what Peng Hong said.

The true identity of Li Heng mentioned above. Since he is a royal descendant of the Zhao Kingdom, his loyalty to himself will be greatly reduced. And with the suspicion of him, some things that were not seen before slowly began to appear.

appeared before Fusu's eyes.

"The way he behaved when he first came here actually showed that he was not a simple guest minister. That kind of aristocratic spirit cannot be revealed casually by a guest minister. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention carefully when I needed talents at that time.

Let's consider it." Fusu thought, "In the past few days, after learning that Zhao, Qi, Chu and other countries were reestablished, his behavior was very different from usual. Now I think that he has already

There is hope for the revival of Zhao State. And tonight, it seems that the mysterious figure Peng Hong mentioned should be the remnant of Zhao State who knew his identity and came to discuss things with him, so I looked for him at night, and he

He hasn't gone to bed yet. He must be discussing some important matter with the visitor, so in the end he hurriedly urged me to come back." After thinking about all this, Fusu became strange again: "Since he already has hope for the revival of the Zhao Kingdom.

, then why are you still staying here with me?" Suddenly an idea jumped into his mind, startling him.

"No, based on my relationship with him, he shouldn't treat me like this." Although he thought so in his heart, the thought always lingered in his mind. Suddenly he stepped down from the couch and said loudly: "

Come, come with me to Mr. Chen’s residence.”

The guard outside the door felt very strange. After the prince was assassinated today, he seemed to like to go out to meet people. However, as a guard, he had no right to stop his master's actions. He had no choice but to pick up the lantern and follow Fusu to Chen.

Flat accommodation.
