The corners of Xu Chang's eyes twitched slightly, but Ximen Yi had already said to Chu Huan: "Li Yin, send someone back to Tongzhou quickly, report to the King of Chu, and say that King Ren is heroic and generous. In order to destroy the great cause of Qin, he has agreed to form an alliance with us and support us We have [-] shi of grain and grass, and we will send people over there to prepare for it. We will go back with the grain team when the grain is ready."

Chu Huan got up, clapped his hands and said yes, and was about to leave when Xu Chang said, "Wait a minute!"

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said, "What orders does King Ren have?"

Xu Chang pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Master Ximen, is it possible that your Northwest Army only thinks about defense?"

"King Ren, you probably have heard that many people in private call our Northwest Army a bunch of beggars." Ximen Yi smiled wryly: "Although this is not pleasant to hear, the truth is true. Although the capital of Qin State fell, But Dingwu still has strength in his hands, since we can't control the enemy, we can only seek to protect ourselves first."

"Then do you know the reason why raising tigers is a threat?" Xu Chang said with a cold face, "You are resting and recuperating, and Qin is also recuperating. The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for you."

"It's also because of helplessness." Ximen Yi said: "The king of Chu doesn't want to fight, but... the military is a major issue, and you can't put all your eggs in one basket. If you don't have sufficient preparations and use your troops rashly, wouldn't you let the soldiers die in vain? ? The King of Chu will never take risks and gamble."

Xu Chang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'm powerless with 50 shi of grain, but if it's 20 shi of grain, would the king of Chu launch an offensive against Yunshan?"

"20 shi is still a bit tight." Ximen Yi said solemnly: "Based on what I know about the king of Chu, if there is no 30 shi of grain as a backing, the king of Chu will never use troops."

"30 shi?" Xu Chang said with a cold face, "It is a big deal to destroy Qin. This king can provide you with 25 shi of grain, of which 20 shi is considered a gift from this king to the King of Chu, and the remaining [-] shi The stone was lent to you by the king."

Ximen Yi said: "King Ren, this...is this too embarrassing for you?"

"For the sake of the great cause of destroying the country, this king will not care about personal gains and losses." Xu Chang said in a deep voice: "However, this king's ugly words are up front. Every grain in Jinling warehouse is used to destroy Qin. The 25 shi This king can provide the food, but after the food is delivered, the Northwest Army must launch an offensive against Yunshan. The food I provide is not for the Northwest Army to guard your cities and pools, Lord Ximen, can you do it?"

Ximen Yi smiled and said: "King Ren, if the food is really delivered, the first one to hit is the King of Chu. The King of Chu is not a self-proclaimed person, otherwise he would not have left the customs. With these food, the future With the courage of the King of Chu, he will definitely lead his troops to the north and fight to the death with the Qin soldiers."

"I hope so." Xu Chang said coldly, "I'm here to watch, but if the food arrives and the Northwest Army doesn't show any signs of sending troops, I won't agree." color.

What he meant was also clear, if the Northwest Army took the food but did not send troops, then Jinling County would go north and make an enemy of the Northwest Army.

Ximen Yi picked up the wine cup and said: "King Ren puts the overall situation at the top of his mind, he has the world in mind, and is selfless, which is admirable. This glass of wine is for King Ren!"

Chu Huan had already picked up the wine cup, and Xu Chang didn't seem to be in a good mood, but he also picked up the wine glass, and all three of them drank it down in one gulp.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside, and a general in armor appeared outside the door. At this time, the sky was already bright, and the rising sun shone on the man's armor, shining coldly and burning brightly. The person who came was none other than Xu Chang's general Fei Qing.

Seeing this, Xu Chang got up and walked over. Fei Qing approached Xu Chang's ear and whispered a few words. Xu Chang sneered, "Bring them up!"

After Fei Qing went down, Xu Chang turned around and said with a smile: "The so-called good gifts come in pairs. In addition to food, this king will give the King of Chu another big gift."

Both Chu Huan and Ximen Yi were puzzled, got up at the same time, walked towards the gate, and soon heard a voice shouting: "Xu Chang, you traitor without father and king, you dare to rebel against the court, you must not Terrible!"

Chu Huan frowned immediately, he was very familiar with this voice, it was Xue Huai'an.

Outside the courtyard gate, dozens of heavily armed soldiers rushed in first, and formed a circle around the spacious courtyard. Randomly, from outside the courtyard gate, a group of Jinling patients pushed several people into the courtyard. The light, Chu Huan could see clearly, those people were all bound by ropes, they looked quite embarrassed, the first person was Xue Huai'an, disheveled, not even wearing a hat, scolding loudly, followed closely behind Xue Huai'an But it was Wang Weiyang from a hundred households in divine clothes. Wang Weiyang's face was stern, his lips were tightly shut, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Beside Xue Huai'an and the others, the Jinling soldiers were all holding spears, pointing the tip of the spears against the bodies of these people, and stabbing them to death immediately if they acted rashly.

Chu Huan immediately understood that although they were all envoys, the treatment was obviously twofold. When Xu Chang sent someone to welcome Ximen Yi in his own carriage, he sent someone to arrest Xue Huai'an and his party from Hexi. .

Although Xue Huai'an has guards, even three Shenyi guards, but after all, there are only a few people, and Weiling is Xu Chang's territory, not to mention a hundred households of Shenyi, even a thousand households of Shenyi, it is impossible to resist Jinling soldiers.

"Xue Huai'an, you are so courageous." Xu Chang reprimanded sharply: "You dare to stir up trouble and sow discord in this king's territory, how can this king spare you?"

Xue Huai'an didn't understand Xu Chang's meaning when he heard it at first, but he said loudly: "Xu Chang, no matter what tricks you play, everything is directed at me, so don't make things difficult for these guards. If you want to kill, just kill me, you Let them go, they are just my guards, if you don't let them go, I will not spare you even if I am a ghost."

When Chu Huan heard this, he appreciated it in his heart. Although this Xue Huai'an was a literati, he was quite slick when he was an official, but when it comes to the big joints, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but has a bit of character.

"Lord Ximen, this is the second gift I gave to the King of Chu." Xu Chang turned his head and said softly to Ximen Yi: "They are here to sow discord, and want to make this king and the king of Chu kill each other. Forgive them, in order to show the sincerity of the alliance between the king and the king of Chu, the king cut off Xue Huai'an's head and handed it over to you to send to the king of Chu, so that everyone in the world will know that the king and Hexi Dingwu are at odds with life and death. Dai Tian!" Turning around and shouting: "Let me cut off the heads of these people!"

"Xu Chang, you despicable villain." Xue Huai'an scolded sharply: "If you want to kill, come to me, don't kill them."

The Jinling soldiers on the side followed Xu Chang's order and wanted to hold Xue Huai'an and the others on their knees and cut off their heads. At this moment, they heard a loud shout, and saw Wang Weiyang suddenly lowered his head and charged Going forward, he slammed his head at a Jinling soldier who was close to Xue Huai'an. Wang Weiyang moved extremely fast and unexpectedly, although the Jinling soldier next to him didn't react, the Jinling soldier who was bumped was even more caught off guard.

This collision went all out, the momentum was heavy, the Jinling soldier yelled "Ouch", and stepped back, but behind him was his companion holding a spear, and before he could retract the gun, the spear had already pierced through the Jinling soldier Body.

All the soldiers in the surrounding area were startled at first, then became angry, and someone shouted: "Shoot them to death!"

Wang Weiyang shouted sharply: "The assassin has nothing to do with us!"

Chu Huan frowned slightly. For this reason, he was actually not afraid of Wang Weiyang revealing his identity. Even if Xu Chang knew his identity, he might not dare to act rashly. However, things will always become more troublesome. Putting the assassination on Xue Huai'an and the others, he was worried about causing trouble, so he said sharply, "I'll kill them all!"

At this time, the other guards behind Xue Huai'an knew that they would die, but they fought desperately. They followed Wang Weiyang's appearance and lowered their heads to charge, but the Jinling soldiers came out with spears. They were stabbed one after another, including the two Shenyi school captains. They were all stabbed like hedgehogs in the blink of an eye. When the spears were pulled out, they all fell into a pool of blood.

Wang Weiyang's face was livid, but he was lying in front of Xue Huai'an, Jinling soldiers were standing around, and a dozen spears were aimed at the two of them, Wang Weiyang sternly shouted: "Who dares to touch me?"

His voice was cold and stern, and his momentum was astonishing, Jin Lingbing felt a little scared for a while.

However, Xue Huai'an closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said, "Wang Baihu, it's my fault that I have troubled you, hey...!"

Fei Qing was already shouting from the side: "Don't do it yet!"

The Jinling soldiers didn't hesitate anymore, they raised their spears and were about to stab, but at this moment, they heard a stern voice: "Stop!"

Everyone was stunned and followed the sound, but it was Chu Huan who stopped him. Although most of the soldiers didn't know Chu Huan, they saw Chu Huan standing beside Xu Chang, but they didn't continue to stab him.

Xu Chang frowned, but Chu Huan took a step forward, and said softly: "King Ren, as the saying goes, if two countries fight each other, don't kill them. We have seen King Ren's determination to Qin, but if even Xue Huaian Kill them all, I'm afraid it will damage King Ren's reputation?"

But Xu Chang didn't care, and said with a sneer, "This king killed the envoy of the Qin State. Everyone in the world knows it, and they will only applaud."

Ximen Yi knew that Chu Huan wanted to keep Xue Huai'an, so he immediately said, "King Ren, others can kill him, but this Xue Huai'an really shouldn't be killed."

"Oh?" Xu Chang frowned and said, "How do you say that?"

"King Ren knows that this Xue Huai'an has some friendship with the King of Chu." Ximen Yi said in a low voice: "Back then, the Qin State sent envoys to Xiliang. I told us that I took good care of Xuebai back then, and if I had the opportunity, I would repay Xue Huai'an. The King of Chu is a man of affection. If... If King Ren killed him here, the King of Chu knew that he would It may not be good."

Xu Chang frowned, but he also knew that this was true. Chu Huan and Xue Huai'an went to Xiliang together, and it was well known in the world, so he wondered if the friendship between these two people was really deep?

"King Ren, in my humble opinion, it is better to hand over Xue Huai'an to us and bring him back to the King of Chu." Ximen Yi said: "Whether the King of Chu kills or releases him is up to the King of Chu, but King Ren handed this person over to the King of Chu." King, the King of Chu owes a favor to King Ren, you should know that the King of Chu is a person who repays favors, so...!"
