Chapter 429 Blocking
After galloping all the way, he finally came to the border of Chu State. The border is now under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will. Because this time is the King of Chu's personal conquest, the defense of the border is naturally very strict, and the people who pass by will be interrogated.Anyone who is suspicious will be taken back and questioned severely.

Of course, Mu Qingwei's identity at this time is not easy for people to know. Even if she and Rong Hao are both disguised, they can't escape this severe questioning. In extraordinary times, some extraordinary means are needed. At night, Mu Qingwei simply So he asked Rong Haoqian to take her to visit the barracks at night.

Naturally, Rong Hao's light work was nothing to say, he led her into the barracks quietly, knocked out two soldiers, they changed into soldiers' clothes and mixed into the team, Mu Qing looked down carefully Looking around, it stands to reason that the camp where the king of Chu personally set out to attack him should be in the middle of the camp.

Mu Qingwei's eyes paused, and she saw the heavily guarded tent in front of her. She guessed that it should be King Chu's tent, but there were so many people guarding the tent, how would she get in?She didn't think that the King of Chu would politely summon her if she begged to see her well.

Rong Haoqian also saw the tent, and he lowered his head and whispered in Mu Qingwei's ear: "I will make a little noise later, and it's fine for Qingwei to watch and sneak into the tent..."

Mu Qing nodded slightly: "Be careful too..."

Rong Hao smiled dryly, and was about to speak, when he heard a voice from behind: "This assassin invaded in the barracks, knocked out our people, find the assassin immediately, and protect the safety of the emperor..."

Soon the torches were lit in the barracks, and the soldiers began to search around.Someone also noticed the situation of Mu Qingwei and his team, and began to check one by one. Rong Hao turned around and ran back, smiling.

"I thought the guards in this barracks were very strict, but it turns out that's all there is to it, that's all, I just came to see the excitement, so I won't accompany you..."

Seeing Rong Haoqian disappearing into the darkness, he immediately alarmed the others, and the soldiers chased after him. There was also a commotion in front of King Chu's camp. Rong Haogan led everyone away, so naturally no one noticed Mu Qing Micro.

Mu Qing lowered her head slightly and followed the rest of the people to guard in front of King Chu's tent, watching for an opportunity to sneak in.

At this time, the King of Chu also heard the movement outside the tent, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the movement outside?"

The soldier on the side replied: "If you go back to the emperor, a person of unknown origin has just sneaked in. Don't worry, the emperor. The subordinates have already sent someone to arrest that person. He can't escape..."

At this moment, a little eunuch came over with tea, and Mu Qingwei reached out to take the tea and nodded to the little eunuch, telling him: "I'll just bring the tea in, and you can prepare some snacks for the emperor... "..."

The little eunuch thought it was an order from the King of Chu and didn't say much, so he handed the tea to Mu Qingwei and left. Mu Qingwei came to the camp with the tea, bowed his head and reported, "Your Majesty, I'll bring you some Tea..."

The King of Chu did not doubt that he was there, and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Mu Qingwei entered the tent with tea. The King of Chu was sitting at the desk and staring at something. Obviously, he hadn't noticed that she had come in yet. Mu Qingwei put the tea on the desk, but did not leave in a hurry.The King of Chu also sensed something was wrong at this time, he looked up and saw that it was Mu Qingwei, he frowned and showed displeasure.

"I was just thinking about who made such a noise in the general camp. You must have directed that person to distract them! Mu Qingwei, why are you trying so hard to sneak into the military camp? "

"Even if you want to assassinate me, your skills are obviously not good enough. Even if I don't call you a guard, you can't help me. However, I would like to ask, what is the reason for your coming?"

The King of Chu's dislike for Mu Qingwei was directly on his face, and he was still willing to listen to Mu Qingwei's words right now because of his great tolerance.

Mu Qing looked at the King of Chu neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has misunderstood me, and I don't want to explain too much, but this time I came to the military camp to persuade the emperor not to send troops to several countries, the emperor should I know that if there is a real fight, Chu State will have absolutely no chance of winning."

The King of Chu snorted coldly: "I just want to let several countries know how powerful Chu is. The founding emperor made a contract with the vassal states. It was the vassal states that failed to abide by the contract first. I just stand on the standpoint of Chu State and teach them a lesson. It’s all for them, I don’t think there is anything wrong with this.”

Mu Qingwei looked at the King of Chu. She knew that the King of Chu had entered a dead end and was still brooding over the matter of the royal contract. Mu Qingwei calmed down and said.

"The emperor still cares about the royal contract? Since the emperor keeps talking about the royal contract, can the emperor use the royal contract to convince the princes?"

The King of Chu was taken aback for a moment, obviously because Mu Qingwei had poked him into a sore spot. He gritted his teeth and continued, "I have heard about the royal contract since I was a child, and it has been passed down by word of mouth for so many years. The royal contract cannot be fake, it is just lost. It is just the whereabouts of the royal contract, and this is not a reason for the princes to betray Chu."

"The emperor seems to have forgotten that it's not that the princes are unkind to Chu, but that Chu is unrighteous to the princes. These years, Chu has relied on the royal contract to suppress the princes in every possible way. What happened in the Zangjuntang, I don't think I should say more, the emperor knows about it."

"As for why the vassal states are willing to tolerate in every possible way and not fight, it is naturally because of the existence of the royal contract. The foundation of all the vassal states' tolerance to Chu is maintained by the poor royal contract. Contract, why do the vassal states continue to tolerate it?"

"If the emperor had treated the princes with benevolence and justice before, I think the princes would not betray Chu. Since the emperor is still angry about the royal contract, then I will tell the emperor the truth. There is no royal contract in this world. What the emperor heard Everything you said was a lie."

Mu Qing looked at the King of Chu firmly. This was the truth that Mr. Qingyang told her. To be honest, she was shocked when she heard it, because the fact of the royal contract was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After so many years, the princes The whole country, including the Chu country, has never doubted the authenticity of the royal contract. Once she heard this fact, she couldn't accept it, let alone the king of Chu.

The king of Chu swept the teacup on the desk to the ground with a look of rage, and the teacup made a crisp breaking sound, and it shattered into several pieces immediately, he shouted angrily.

"Mu Qingwei, don't think that Hongxuan and Hanmo are protecting you, so I dare not touch you. Your nonsense also gives me a limit. The royal contract must exist. Don't think that you can convince me with a few words like this. Come on. People, let me take this assassin down and keep it under strict supervision, no one can see her without my order..."

The King of Chu shouted angrily, without giving Mu Qingwei a chance to explain, a group of soldiers quickly came in and took Mu Qingwei down. Seeing King Chu frown slightly, Mu Qingwei pushed the soldiers away, saying: " I can go by myself, you don't need to do it." At the end, she looked at King Chu and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you might as well think about what I said. If there is such a royal contract, why have there never been a single word about the place where the royal contract is stored in those legends? Has the Emperor never doubted it? Or, the Emperor is clearly in the I already guessed it in my heart, but I didn’t want to accept it.”

"There is a reason why the previous masters of Zangjuntang were ordered to keep this secret. They must be afraid that the news will cause chaos if it is spread. We can coexist peacefully with the vassal states without relying on the royal contract."

"I think the first emperor must have thought that there was no need to use those contracts to bind the vassal states, so he destroyed the contracts that had already been made, and the vassal states must have been admonishing future generations because of the kindness of the first emperor. The state and the state of Chu have made a contract, and this coming and going is what the people want, the emperor should think about the original emperor's intention..."

The King of Chu didn't even listen to Mu Qingwei's words, he waved his hands impatiently: "Take her down..."

Mu Qing took a slight look at King Chu, didn't continue to say more, just turned around and left, her back was straight, she didn't look like a person who was caught at all...
Looking at Mu Qingwei's back, the King of Chu finally sat down on the chair with a dejected expression on his face. How could he not have thought about this possibility? It was precisely because he had thought about it that he was so eager to send troops to several countries. He thought that maybe when the critical moment came, someone would bring the royal contract, so that Chu could still be the hegemon.

However, the arrival of this Mu Qingwei completely shattered his delusion. Now that the several countries are confronting each other, he has no reason or excuse to back down. If he retreats, the princes will only look down on Chu State even more in the future. He can't see that The situation happened, and now it has reached this point, he has to fight even if he doesn't want to...
Mu Qingwei was imprisoned in a tent surrounded by soldiers under strict guard. She was not worried about her safety at all. She knew that the King of Chu would not kill her for the time being, but seeing the expression of the King of Chu just now, this battle Is it inevitable?
Suddenly, Mu Qingwei thought of something, she could try it, but now she was going to escape from here, besides, Rong Haoqian didn't know if he had escaped those chasing soldiers?If he escaped, he should come to rescue her right away...

All she can do now is to wait here for the time being. Mu Qingwei sat on the side, tapping her fingers on the table unconsciously. It wasn't until dawn that she realized that she had been sitting like this all night, but Rong Haoqian hadn't When she came back, she heard the soldiers blowing the horn, which meant that the king of Chu was about to go to battle. Mu Qingwei was startled, and hurriedly got up...
