To Zhao Kuo's surprise, Handan's prison was not that difficult to stay.

Zhao Kuo was assigned a single cell, which had no strange smell. An old wooden couch, a somewhat worn seat and table, and a convenient wooden barrel were everything in this cell.

As for the food, of course, it is not very rich, but there are actually two dishes and one soup, and even a lamb leg.

"Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated."

Zhao Kuo deeply understood the differences in the Warring States Period for the first time.

Today, Zhao Kuo is the top of the noble class. In this era when scholars can maintain dignity when facing a king, Zhao Kuo's treatment is obviously much better than that of some officials who often call themselves slaves in later generations.

When a person looks down on himself, it is impossible to expect others to look down on you! But no matter what, it is also a prison, and the environment of family clothing and food is much worse than that of the family, so Zhao Kuo lost his appetite after taking a few bites and put down half of the lamb leg.

At this moment, a weak voice came over: "Zhao Qing, can you give me some food..." Zhao Kuo raised his head in surprise, and found that it was the person in the next cell talking to him.

This person seemed to have been put in jail for a while, and his face was so unkempt that he could not see clearly, but he could vaguely tell that he was a young man in his twenties. Judging from his rather thin figure, he might have been locked up here for a while.

Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment and handed all the remaining food to the other party through the small gap below.

A sound of swallowing voraciously sounded. Zhao Kuo looked at the other party with chewing heavily, and for the first time he felt that eating was such a happy thing.

All the meals were quickly swept away by the young prisoner, and there was not even a drop of soup left.

The young man burped in satisfaction, then came to his senses and bowed to Zhao Kuo with some embarrassment: "I was so hungry in prison for many days, which made Zhao Qing laugh."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "It's okay.

Who are you, how could you be caught here?”

The young man said, "I want to hide it from Zhao Qing, it's called Li Si, but..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Kuo in surprise: "Your name is Li Si?

Li Si of Chu?"

Li Si looked at Zhao Kuo with some confusion: "Does Zhao Qing actually recognize him?"

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said, "You are a disciple of the great scholar Xunzi, and there is also a junior brother named Han Fei, right?"

Li Si was really surprised: "I didn't expect Zhao Qing was so familiar with the lower sect."

Li Si didn't know that Zhao Kuo was not less surprised than him.

Who is Li Si?

That was the prime minister of Qin Shihuang in history! I didn’t expect to meet him in Handan.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Si with some curiosity: "Don't you follow your master? Why did you run to prison?"

Li Si sighed and said, "To be honest, this matter is still related to Zhao Qing."

Half a month ago, Li Si and his junior brother Han Fei followed his master Xunqiu to Handan, wanting to meet King Zhao.

Xunzi was the high priest of Jixia Academy, equivalent to the principal of the Academy, and the opinion leader of the hundreds of schools of thought in the Jixia Academy, so King Zhao naturally received Xunzi very grandly.

After a conversation between the two sides, Xunzi's master and apprentice originally thought it was possible to become an official in Zhao State, but unexpectedly, Zhao State actually favored the Legalists, and Xunzi itself belonged to the Confucian lineage, so there was no more.

After waiting for a few days, Li Si couldn't help but feel depressed, so he went out to the street with his junior brother Han Fei. When he passed by a restaurant to buy wine, he happened to hear the news that Yu Xin was dying in Yan. The people who discussed at that time said that Zhao Kuo must be the murderer. After listening carefully, Li Si felt that Zhao Kuo had no reason to kill, so he argued with the other party.

As for arguing, they couldn't help but push and shovate, and then fist and kicked each other. Although Li Si and Han Fei are scholars, which scholar did not practice martial arts these days?

He fought with three or four people on the other side and was not at a disadvantage for a while.

Yan Zhaoyouxia was famously fierce. As he fought, the other party was also angry and angry, and he drew his sword directly. Li Si had to draw his sword to fight. During the melee, Han Fei was stabbed to death and was about to die. Li Si had to stab the other party to death and injured two people with one sword. Then he was taken down by the Zhao official who rushed to the news and locked up here. It took about five or six days to calculate.

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo was stunned and thought that Li Si in history had indeed come to Zhao State, but he had never heard of such a thing happening?

Obviously this is the butterfly effect after Zhao Kuo traveled through time and changed history.

Zhao Kuo said again: "You have been imprisoned for so many days, why haven't you started a trial yet?"

Li Si spread his hands and sighed, "This is also something I wondered about. I originally thought that the party would be opened in two or three days. Although Li Si was not talented, he still knew some of the Legalists' knowledge, so there was no problem in defending himself.

I didn’t expect that this level would last for so many days. If it weren’t for Zhao Qing’s case, I would have starved to death here.”

Zhao Kuo laughed: "It's said that you became like this when you talk for me, but I'm sorry to you.

Don't worry, I'll send someone a message out later, you should be able to go out in the next few days."

Things like Li Si are not big or small.

This is how the rangers of Yan and Zhao states are. They will start a war with you if they have a disagreement. If they kill, they will either lose money or pay their lives. When the money is in place, they will assume that nothing happened. Many famous rangers like Jing Ke and Gao Jianli are like this.

So this matter is still easy to solve for Zhao Kuo.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo also wanted to include Li Si under his command. After all, this is a famous official in history, and it is just in its infancy, which is the best time to recruit.

Sure enough, Li Si was moved after hearing this and said seriously to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Qing has the kindness of giving food and the kindness of saving him, which really makes Li Si unable to repay him.

If Zhao Qing doesn't dislike him, Li Si is willing to drive Zhao Qing's subordinates and be a loyal minister under Zhao Qing's command!"

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he was too satisfied?

I immediately smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get out after I'm locked up here?"

Li Si said seriously: "With the Lord's character and future, now it is just a dragon trapped in the shallows and takes off sooner or later. It is a blessing for Li Si to be able to follow the Lord's character now!"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said to Li Si: "It's very good.

Since that's the case, from today on, you will be the son of the Central Concubine in my Zhao Kuo mansion!"

Li Si was overjoyed and paid homage to Zhao Kuo's great liquor: "My minister Li Si has met the lord!"

In prison, the king and his minister looked at each other and laughed.
