Ximen Yi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "So it's Liang Guogong, please come in!"

Only then did Liang Guogong enter the hall, and after he was seated, someone from the post house brought tea. Liang Guogong blushed, picked up the teacup, blew on the powdered tea, and took a sip. Seeing that Ximen Yi hadn’t drunk tea, he smiled. Said: "Master Ximen, the tea here is not to your taste?"

"Just put down the teacup." Ximen Yi said with a smile, "Jinling tea is famous all over the world. After I came here, I drank a lot."

Liang Guogong Xu Yu said with a smile: "This Jinling is famous not only for its tea, but also for its singers. If Master Ximen has a taste, I can arrange it."

Ximen Yi shook his head and said, "Until the matter that the king of Chu explained is completed, I am not interested in other matters."

"Oh?" Liang Guogong rolled his eyes, put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "Your envoy has come here this time, but I don't know what advice you can give? I heard that the King of Chu has just captured Tongzhou and Liangzhou. I'm really happy to congratulate you."

Ximen Yi smiled and said: "The Duke also knows that Tyrant Qin is cruel and the world is in chaos. The King of Chu has received a warning from heaven and has already made an oath to overthrow Tyrant Qin and give the people of the world a peaceful world. King Ren raised an incident in Jinling, The king of Chu admired him deeply, so he sent his official here to form a brotherhood."

Xu Yu touched the ring on his finger, and said leisurely: "Master Ximen, you can't say that. The king of Chu started an incident, and the whole world was shocked. I heard that the court has labeled the king of Chu as a traitor, and everyone has to punish him. Although the king of Chu won Tongzhou and Liangzhou, the situation is not good." He raised his eyes to look at Ximen Yi, and sighed: "To put it bluntly, your king of Chu is too young to cause a big disaster."

"Oh?" Ximen Yi just smiled.

Xu Yu said: "Master Ximen said that he wants to form a brotherhood with Brother Wang. This matter...I am afraid that this matter will embarrass Brother Wang. Brother Wang has no intention of betraying Qin. He led the crowd to kill Yuan Buyi. In fact, it was because Yuan Buji proclaimed himself king and betrayed the imperial court that Brother Wang killed him, but he is a loyal minister of Qin."

"That's how it is." Ximen Yi said with a smile: "If King Ren just killed Yuan Buyi, he would serve the country loyally, but after that, King Ren will stand on his own, so what?" he asked, "Could it be that this King Ren was rewarded by the Qin court?"

Xu Yu sighed and said, "That was also forced by the situation. After Yuan Busu died, Jinling was in turmoil, and there were even rebels who became kings. If the king wants to stabilize Jinling, he can only be called by name, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

Ximen Yi asked: "So, King Ren is still devoted to Qin?"

"This...!" Xu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "At least Brother Wang hasn't betrayed Qin's heart yet. Brother Wang is a person who values ​​friendship. The eight generations of our ancestors in the Xu family were poor people. To be able to have today is due to the generous gift of Qin."

Ximen Yi was silent, thoughtful.

Xu Yu picked up the teacup. His movements looked very aristocratic, but his gestures were a bit stiff. Chu Huan had been standing behind Ximen Yi, watching Xu Yu's movements with a blank expression on his face, but his heart was full of emotion. It was a snicker. Xu Yu was tall, with dark skin and rather rough skin. One could tell at a glance that his background was not very good. If it wasn't for Xu Chang, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Xu Chang was just a general under Yuan Busu's command at the beginning, and his status could not be said to be very high, and Xu Yu was Xu Chang's brother, so his status was even less likely to be very high.

But today, when Xu Chang became king, and he became the king alone, Xu Yu naturally rose to the top and became the Duke of the state.

Xu Yu is obviously very satisfied with his new identity. Judging by his actions and behavior, he is obviously thinking of turning himself into a nobleman. Chu Huan sighs inwardly. Nowadays, there are so many independent factions in various parts of Qin State. The king is well known in the world, and many people with no reputation have pulled up a team and established themselves as kings. There are so many such people, but I don't know if these people are also like Xu Yu. Really treat yourself as a character.

"Li Yin!" After a while, Ximen Yi suddenly raised his head and stood up, "Clean up, let's set off overnight and go back to the King of Chu to report King Ren's wishes. Everyone has their own ambitions, so naturally we can't force them." Hands over to Xu Yu Said: "Guo Gong, since King Ren has no intention of opposing Qin, we are just taking the liberty to disturb you this time. I am really sorry. If the Duke wants to take us down and send us to Hexi to ask for credit, we have no complaints. We only blame ourselves for not being aware of current affairs. Deliver it to your door. If the Duke lets us go, we will thank the Duke.”

Chu Huan understood Ximen Yi's thoughts, strode to the door, and said loudly: "Listen well, your lord has orders, pack your bags and leave overnight."

Seeing this, Xu Yu immediately changed his color, hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Ximen, you... what do you mean?"

"Differences do not conspire with each other." Ximen Yi said sternly: "King Chu originally wanted to form a brotherhood with King Ren and fight against Qin together, but...but since King Ren didn't have this heart, he still wanted to be loyal to Tyrant. Qin, we can only say goodbye."

"This...!" Seeing Ximen Yi's resolute expression, as if he really wanted to leave, Xu Yu showed a panicked look, "Master Ximen, don't be so impatient, we can discuss everything, sit down and have a chat, it may not be impossible Change."

"The Duke has already made it clear, and I can understand it." Ximen Yi sighed: "This is not right at all, and if we continue to talk, there will be no results."

Xu Yu grabbed Ximen Yi's arm, Ximen Yi frowned and said: "So, the Duke doesn't want to let us go, but wants to dedicate us to Hexi for credit?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Xu Yu hurriedly laughed and said, "Lord Ximen, this...ah, in fact, Brother Wang has been hesitating. The tyranny of the Qin State is unbearable. If you continue to be loyal to the Qin State, you will undoubtedly help the tyrant. It is for this reason that Brother Wang has been restless recently. so.....!"

Ximen Yi said "Oh", but Xu Yu said, "Master Ximen, don't be impatient, sit down first, and let's talk slowly."

Ximen Yi pondered for a moment, and sat down slowly.

"Lord Ximen, I am fully aware of Brother Wang's worries." Xu Yu sighed, "Dare to ask, is the King of Chu really sincere in wanting to form an alliance with our Jinling?"

"If there is no sincerity, the King of Chu will not send us here." Ximen Yi said: "It's just that our King of Chu has sincerity, but King Ren seems to be...!"

Xu Yu chuckled, but sat down on the chair next to Ximen Yi, turned his body sideways, and said in a low voice, "Lord Ximen, with all due respect, our Jinling Army holds the Jinling Warehouse and has a powerful navy. In addition, there are [-] elite soldiers...!"

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers?" Ximen Yi glanced at Xu Yu.

Xu Yu was thick-skinned, his face was not red and his heart was beating: "Not now, but soon, we have enough money and food, and we are recruiting soldiers. Before long, we will have [-] elite soldiers who can recruit and fight well...! "Hehe smiled, and said softly: "To be honest, Mr. Ximen, I am afraid that you, the king of Chu, are not the only ones who want to form an alliance with us. Nowadays, the world is in chaos and the heroes are fighting for hegemony. No matter who we form an alliance with, our Jinling army can sweep the world and be invincible, so ...!"

"So what?"

"So in order to form an alliance with our army, the King of Chu must be very sincere." Xu Yu said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of sincerity the King of Chu is going to show?"

"Oh?" Ximen Yi seemed to understand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, the Duke of Chu, the King of Chu is a generous person, we bring a few boxes of generous gifts, King Ren will definitely like it...!"

"A generous gift?" Xu Yu shook his head and said, "You King Chu underestimates Brother Wang too much. The gold, silver and jewels in Brother Wang's hands are piled up like mountains. Brother Wang really doesn't have much interest in these things."

"Oh?" Ximen Yi said with a calm smile, "What does King Ren want?"

Xu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "The King of Chu has just conquered Liangzhou and Tongzhou, but as far as we know, Liangzhou is plagued by banditry and the people's hearts are unstable. There is also less food, so...!"

Ximen Yi stared at Xu Yu and asked, "So what?"

"Let me just say it straight. If the King of Chu can hand over Liangzhou to us for management, then he sincerely wants to form an alliance with Jinling." Xu Yu said: "From now on, the Northwest Army and the Jinling Army will be an alliance of brothers. , to map the world together.”

"You want Liangzhou?" Ximen Yi burst out laughing. Xu Yu felt terrified of being laughed at, and forced a smile, "What does Lord Ximen mean?"

Ximen Yi's laughter diminished, but the smile was still on his face. He raised his hand and pointed at Xu Yu with a finger: "You, you, hahaha... the Duke really knows how to joke... ., Dare to ask the Duke, is this what King Ren meant?"

"This...!" Seeing Ximen Yi's hideous smile, Xu Yu's face suddenly became a little ugly: "Although Brother Wang didn't say anything, I can see what Brother Wang is thinking. If the King of Chu can't show enough sincerity, It is not easy for our two armies to form an alliance."

"Duke, how can we form an alliance? The King of Chu has repeatedly told you to listen to King Ren." Ximen Yi said: "Duke just came to visit today, and what we are talking about is just superficial things, and we can't do it for real." I would like to ask the Duke to tell King Ren that King Chu is not very patient. If King Ren cannot meet him for a long time, we can’t stay here forever. In fact, you also know that our tens of thousands of elites in the northwest are right across the Qiong River. , defeated Tongzhou and Liangzhou, the morale of the soldiers is high, the king of Chu is now thinking about how to fight next...!"

Xu Yu changed color slightly, stood up, and said with a sneer, "That's the case, Mr. Ximen should make preparations early. Brother Wang's temper has never been very good." He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, and went out. hurriedly followed.

Only then did Chu Huan return to the house. Seeing Xu Yu walking away, Ximen Yi smiled lightly and said, "Xu Yu came here, naturally Xu Chang sent him to find out the truth. Xu Chang has a big appetite, so he just opened his mouth and asked for Liangzhou."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "We are thinking about his Jinling warehouse, but he is also thinking about our Liangzhou... Sir, it seems that our King Ren really has a big appetite. Even if the alliance is successful, yes This person also needs to be on guard." Sitting down, he frowned and said, "However, as Mr. said, we can't start a war with them right now, try to stabilize them as much as possible."

The two discussed in low voices, and it was getting dark. Suddenly, they heard a commotion from outside, and Ma Zheng's scolding came from the courtyard. Chu Huan frowned, held down the handle of his saber, and went out the door , but saw a group of soldiers rushing in from outside the courtyard, a dense mass of soldiers, with swords and spears pointing at Ma Zheng and the others who were blocking them.

Chu Huan's eyes were stern, and he took two steps forward, but still with a smile on his face, he asked, "I don't know what you can do?"

"Where is Ximen Yi?" A general came out from the crowd and said loudly: "This general is Fei Qing, under King Ren's command. We have already surrounded the courtyard outside. You don't have to resist. Throw down your weapons and capture him without a fight, otherwise you will be killed." A dead end."

Chu Huan was puzzled, wondering if Xu Chang didn't know that if he took action against the Northwest envoy at this time, he would undoubtedly tear himself apart from the Northwest Army. This would not do any good to Xu Chang, and he thought to himself that his identity would not be seen through , So Xu Chang wanted to come to capture the enemy first and capture the king first, but listening to the other party's words, he obviously didn't know his identity, but came to Ximen Yi.

Suddenly thought of Xu Yu, could it be that Ximen Yi sent someone to embarrass him because Ximen Yi ridiculed Xu Yu today and Xu Yu was unwilling?For a moment, I really didn't know why, although I was puzzled, I still kept calm, and said with a faint smile: "Why do we resist? We came here to pay respects to King Ren, and this is how King Ren treats guests?"

"Are you still pretending to be confused?" Fei Qing sneered and said, "You all know what you have done, so stop talking nonsense and drop your weapons, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

At this time, many soldiers poured in from outside, blocking the surrounding area of ​​the courtyard. Not only spearmen and sword soldiers, but also archers climbed up the wall, condescending, bowed their bows and set arrows, aiming at Chu Huan and his party people.

Ximen Yi had also gone out at this time, standing beside Chu Huan, seeing such a scene, his eyes were dumbfounded, obviously very surprised by the Jinling Army's move, and asked in a deep voice: "Who sent you here?" Is it Duke Liang, or King Ren?"

After hearing what he said, Chu Huan also knew that Ximen Yi was suspecting that Xu Yu had sent someone to make things difficult.

"Naturally King Ren." Fei Qing said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, they all drop their weapons."

Ma Zheng and others looked back at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was thinking, if he was alone, he would be surrounded by a group of people. With his own martial arts, he might not be able to escape, but the opponent had a large number of people, and he was already prepared to surround them all inside and outside. Come on, it's not difficult to get away by yourself, but it is absolutely impossible for Ma Zheng, Ximen Yi and others to get out.

He didn't understand what happened for a while, until now he couldn't fight recklessly, he could only support him first, adapt to the situation, nodded slightly, and dropped the saber first, when Ma Zheng was waiting for others to see this, he had no choice but to drop the weapon, Fei Qing After winking, some soldiers stepped forward to search and made sure that no one was carrying any weapons, then Fei Qing said coldly: "Take them to the palace!"

A group of soldiers came forward and surrounded Chu Huan and others, their spears were not far away from their bodies. Chu Huan knew that this group of people should take him to see Xu Chang. He thought it would take two days before he saw Xu Chang. But I didn't expect to see it so soon, and in this way.

Chu Huan was calm and relaxed, but he was already thinking in his heart, what happened to make Xu Chang suddenly nervous, and sent troops to arrest him, but he also understood that no matter what happened, when he saw Xu Chang in the palace, everything would be gone. clear.
