Ji Hou sat in the carriage, listening to the lively voices coming from outside the carriage, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rolling, and was speechless all the way.

After living in Handan during this period, Ji Hou had a deeper understanding of Handan and Zhao State.

This is a country that is already very powerful but still continues to be strong.

A world-class powerhouse that is becoming increasingly powerful! This is definitely not something that can make people happy whether it is for Qin or any other country.

If Zhao State can continue to be strong, sooner or later, it will become a monster that the other six countries can't beat together.

By that time, everything will be finished.

Ji Hou's hand gradually tightened.

As a minister of Qin, Mr. Ji certainly did not want this scene to happen.

The stronger the Zhao State, the harder the Qin State's life will be.

Fortunately, Ji Hou knew that there was still a chance now.

The real key to the fact that Zhao State was able to become stronger in just a few years lies in one person.

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo! If it weren't for the repeated victories brought to Zhao State by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, Zhao State would never have grown to this point.

As long as you can knock down Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, Zhao State will lose the real giant pillar of the sky and Qin State will have the opportunity to turn around.

"Wu Xinjun..." Ji Hou's lips opened slightly, and his expression was complicated.

After a long time, a sigh came from the carriage.

Why is such a genius not a minister of the Qin Dynasty?

The carriage flexibly walked through the streets of Handan, and after a long time, it gradually stopped beside a rather narrow street.

“The place has arrived.”

The voice of the coachman came from outside.

Ji Hou lifted the curtain of the carriage, walked off the carriage, and walked towards the yard not far away in the night where he used to hide in Handan City.

This small courtyard looks very old like the surrounding small courtyards and has no point of attracting others' attention.

After coming to Handan, Marquis Ji did not live here all the time. He would change his residence every fifteen days. Today was exactly the last day of this mansion.

Ji Hou walked to the gate of the yard and suddenly stopped.

When Ji Hou looked around, he found that the lights on the left and right courtyards were on as always, and there were faint voices of speech and children's laughter.

Ji Houqing breathed a sigh of relief and told the coachman: "Wu Xinjun is back. You have to work harder these days, be careful."

This coachman was actually the nephew of Marquis Ji. He followed Marquis Ji for a full twenty years and was the person he trusted the most.

The coachman responded and said, "Sir, go in and rest first, I'll make some food."

Ji Hou nodded and stepped into the room.

After a few fire knife and flint friction, Mars jumped up and lit the oil lamp, and the room became brighter in an instant.

It was at this moment that Ji Hou saw a figure slowly emerging from the darkness.

This person had obviously been sitting in the room just now, waiting for Ji Hou.

He smiled at Ji Hou and said, "I will introduce myself. My name is Xu Li, the priest of Wu Xinjun's mansion."

The moment he heard this name, Ji Hou was falling into an ice cave.

If you want to deal with Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, of course, it is impossible not to know the number one confidant Xu Li around Zhao Kuo.

But... why did Xu Li appear here?

Ji Hou started coughing heavily.

Xu Li looked at Ji Hou and smiled and said, "Are you waiting for them?"

Come on."

The window was suddenly opened and several bloody heads were thrown in.

Mr. Ji looked closely and saw the coachman's nephew who had just been separated from him for less than a minute.

Even though Ji Hou had been engaged in intelligence work for many years and had been scheming, he still changed his face involuntarily at this moment.

Xu Li sighed and said quietly: "Mr. Ji Hou, this is our territory of Da Zhao after all. If you think you can come and go here freely, then you are really wrong."

Ji Hou's face gradually became normal, and he said calmly: "How did you find out about me?"

Xu Li smiled and said, "Mr. Ji Hou is also an old man who does intelligence. Don't you know that the best way to keep secrets is to never tell them the secret?"

Ji Hou was silent for a while and said, "The Xu Li family priest is right. It is indeed my negligence."

Xu Li nodded and said, "Does Mr. Ji Hou still want to continue to live?

If you want, you might as well listen to my proposal.”

Ji Hou said: "What proposal?"

Xu Li smiled and said, "As long as you tell everything you know, our husband can spare your life."

Ji Hou was silent for a moment and said, "But you want to be imprisoned for life?"

Xu Li smiled and said, "You can live in any city or village in Zhao State, but we must follow us when you go out.

My husband can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will never worry about money, and you will not have any unscrupulous officials to provoke you."

Ji Hou looked at Xu Li in surprise and said, "Wu Xinjun really doesn't plan to kill me?"

Xu Li nodded and said, “Yes.

If you tell me your information, please spare your life and give you wealth and worry-free life. This is fair."

"Fair..." Ji Hou chewed this sentence, his face gradually became complicated, and he sighed: "Wu Xinjun, he really is a different existence from everyone."

Xu Li said: "Yes.

Please make a decision now, Mr. Ji Hou.

You still have half a stick of incense."

Ji Hou sighed and said, "I have to say, Wu Xinjun's conditions are really attractive, and I do believe that Wu Xinjun will keep his promise, but..." Xu Li said, "But what?"

Ji Hou paused for a few seconds and looked at Xu Li and said, "...Xu Li's family master, in fact, our identities are very similar, the only difference is the object of our loyalty.

I ask you, if you were discovered in Xianyang City, would you surrender to the Qin Dynasty?"

Xu Li gave the answer without thinking: "Absolutely not."

Ji Hou laughed and said, "This is my answer."

Xu Li nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Ji Hou is easy to leave."

Marquis Ji bowed to Xu Li and said, "Thank you Mr. Xu Li for understanding."

After saying this, blood suddenly appeared on the corner of Ji Hou's mouth, and blood slowly flowed out of it.

With a bang, Ji Hou's body fell to the ground and no longer moved.

This Qin intelligence leader who once scared the six Eastern countries, who planned many operations against Zhao Kuo and personally killed Yu Xin, who caused a drastic change in the political arena of Zhao, died in such an inconspicuous house in a civilian house in Handan.
