Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 533 State Funeral Invitation
After Liu Qi asked the soldiers to invite Cheng Yu,

soon
Then he saw the departing soldier, leading a man dressed as a scribe, to the door of the meeting hall.

When the soldier came to the door, he stepped aside, made way for the scribe behind him, and made a gesture of please.

And the scribe didn't say much, and stepped into the meeting hall.

When the scribe came.

Everyone in the meeting hall also turned their eyes to the scribe.

Facing everyone's scrutiny.

The scribe was not timid either, he took a leisurely step, walked forward step by step, and stopped not far from Liu Qi.

He glanced at Liu Qi who was on the main seat.

Cai slightly bent down, cupped his hands in salute, and said, "Cheng Yu, the envoy of the King of Wei, has met the King of Han!"

The person who came was also Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde.

The envoy sent by Cao Cao waited in Chengdu for two days.

"Don't be too polite!" Liu Qi said, "Please sit down!"

After speaking, he also made a gesture of please.

There was also an extra vacant seat on the left side below Liu Qi, which was obviously prepared early in the morning and reserved for Cheng Yu.

After all, the visitor is the visitor.

Even if they were from hostile forces, the war had ceased now, and Cheng Yu had come as a messenger.

Then the etiquette that should be there is still there.

That seat was also made before the soldiers invited Cheng Yu to come.

"Thank you King Han!"

Cheng Yu also saluted without being pretentious. He walked towards the empty seat and sat down.

Wait for Cheng Yu to sit down.

Liu Qi also opened his mouth and said: "I don't know why the king of Wei asked Cheng envoy to come here?"

heard.

Everyone present also turned their attention to Cheng Yu. After all, they also wanted to know what Cao Cao was up to, so they sent envoys here not long after the battle ended.

Cheng Yu who just sat down also stood up from his seat.

At the same time, he reached out his hand and took out a letter from his bosom, and then said: "Go back to the King of Han, this is the secret letter that my lord asked me to give to you, King of Han!"

The voice fell.

Then he saw Dian Wei on the other side of the seat stood up and walked towards Cheng Yu.

When Dian Wei came in front of Cheng Yu, he also took a look at Cheng Yu, took the secret letter from his hand, turned to Liu Qi, and handed the secret letter to Liu Qi.

immediately.

Then he stepped back and sat down in his seat.

Liu Qi took the secret letter, opened it as well, and read it.

And Cheng Yu, as well as Liu Qi's subordinates, were also waiting quietly.

from time to time.

Liu Qi also finished reading the secret letter, put the secret letter on the table, and looked at Cheng Yu, as if he wanted to see something from Cheng Yu's face.

Until everyone was a little confused.

Liu Qi also just grinned, looked at Cheng Yu, and said with a questioning tone, "The king of Wei wants to invite me to attend the state funeral in five days' time?"

Going to Chang'an for a state funeral?
Hear Liu Qi's words.

Li Ru and the others were also a little surprised. They also knew that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died, and Cao Cao would definitely hold a funeral.

But he didn't expect that Cheng Yu's arrival was for this matter, and he still came to invite Liu Qi to attend.

You know, not long ago, there was a big battle between the two of them.

Moreover, the current situation is also different. If Liu Qi goes to Chang'an and Cao Cao has malicious intentions, then...

Before they could figure it out.

Cheng Yu's voice sounded, and he said, "That's right! My lord not only invited the King of Han, but also sent two soldiers to Qingzhou and Jiangdong with my lord's personal letter to invite Qi Wang and Wu Wang!"

Although Liu Qi kept staring at him, he didn't show any fear, and his tone was full of firmness.

Then he said: "My lord has no other intentions, and allows you to lead no more than five thousand soldiers and horses, and you can find a place outside Chang'an City to set up camp without entering Chang'an City!"

"My lord's original intention was just to get together with the King of Han. What's more, the King of Han is also a descendant of the Han family, and he is also the 'throne' granted by His Majesty, so it is also necessary to participate in the state funeral!"

"I agreed!"

Before Cheng Yu finished speaking.

Liu Qi also interrupted.

"It's just as it should be!" Cheng Yu finally realized it at this moment, but he was also stunned.

And Li Ru and others were also stunned, and no Liu Qi would agree to this matter.

"My lord...!" Guo Jia stood up and cupped his hands.

But that's not all.

He was stopped by Liu Qi waving his hand.

And Liu Qi looked at Cheng Yu, and continued: "I agree, go back and report to King Wei, I will definitely rush to Chang'an to attend the state funeral before the state funeral five days later!"

This time.

Cheng Yu could also hear clearly, unlike before, when he couldn't hear clearly.

He also cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely bring the words of the King of Han!"

Although he still had a serious look on his face, there were waves in his heart.

Because I didn't expect Liu Qi to agree so easily.

Originally thought that even if there was some obstruction, Liu Qi would ask Guo Jia and others for their opinions, then Guo Jia and others would definitely dissuade him, just like Guo Jia stood up just now.

But I didn't expect to be stopped by Liu Qi with a single action, and he didn't continue to dissuade him.

And after Liu Qi decided.

Although Guo Jia and the others had worries in their eyes, they didn't say anything, as if acquiescing to Liu Qi's decision.

This also made it impossible for him to say the persuasion method he had thought up.

A little tangled.

"Since the matter has been decided and it's almost lunch time, why don't Mr. Cheng stay and have a light meal together?" Liu Qi asked.

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Thank you King Han for your kindness. I have stayed in Chengdu for many days. Now that I have received the reply from King Han, I want to meet Chang'an and report to my lord. It is inconvenient to stay longer!"

"It's such a pity!" Liu Qi said, "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to keep you. See you in Chang'an then!"

"Then I will take my farewell first!"

Done.

Cheng Yu also cupped his hands, then turned around and walked out of the conference hall without delay.

Watching Cheng Yu leave.

Liu Qi also smiled.

"My lord, why did you agree to go to Chang'an to attend the state funeral? Even if you can go there with [-] soldiers, it is the headquarters of the king of Wei after all, and the withdrawn Wei army is still stationed in Chang'an!" Guo Jia asked.

The rest of the people also looked at Liu Qi.

After all, they also want to know why Liu Qi agreed, and if there is a slight change in going to Chang'an, even if they want to support, it is too late.

"Don't worry, the king of Wei will not choose to fight, otherwise, he will not let him lead [-] soldiers, and with [-] elite soldiers, if the king of Wei makes a move, he will be able to break out of the encirclement!"

Liu Qi smiled, his eyes flashed brightly, and he continued: "Besides, don't you think it is a very interesting event for the four kings of the Central Plains to meet now? I also want to see if King Qi and King Wu have that Courage, promise to come down!"

"You must know that King Qi and King Wu need to enter my territory if they want to lead their troops to Chang'an!"
