Qin Dynasty Novelist

Xiang Liang didn't deny it either.

"The identity of the owner of this token is very special. To be honest, it was decades ago."

"Xiang Liang, how much do you know about King Xiankaolie?"

Xiang Yan said with a light smile.

"Test the Lie Wang first?"

"The former king was the son of King Qingxiang and the grandson of King Huai. He was eighteen years old and went to Qin as a hostage. Later, with the help of Lord Chunshen, he escaped from Qin and returned to Chu to become king."

"Afterwards, the Qin and Zhao Changping battles broke out, and Mao entered Chu. The Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, and Chu sent troops to rescue Zhao. A few years later, Lu was defeated. The invasion of Qin caused the army of Qin to overwhelm the border, and the former king moved his capital to Shouchun."

"Not long ago, the former king was so angry that he had no choice but to die, and it will be passed on to the present king!"

Xiang Liang is naturally a treasure in the matter of the first examination of King Lie. As a powerful military family in Chu State, this is a compulsory course.

With the assistance of Lord Chunshen, more than a dozen weak and small vassal states were destroyed, and Duke Zhou's feudal state of Lu was buried, and his reputation was greatly shaken. Unfortunately, it was also because of Lord Chunshen that the results of many years of battle were lost.

Talking about this matter, Xiang Liang couldn't help sighing a little. If Lord Chunshen hadn't attacked Qin, perhaps the current state of Chu wouldn't be in such a mess, and Li Yuan wouldn't have killed Lord Chunshen either. Strategy, Chu State will definitely not be like this.

"Then, do you know how many descendants the late king had?"

Xiang Yan nodded in agreement, what his son said was not a secret, any member of the military family of the Chu State could tell it, but by asking this question, there were not many people who could know.

"The heir of the former king?"

"This...there should be three former kings. When the former king was still the hostage of the Qin State, he left behind a son named Xiong Qi, who is now the ruling minister of the Qin State, Lord Changping."

"Secondly, there are two sons born to the queen. The older one is the current king Xiong Han, and the younger one is Xiong You. They are both young and weak."

Xiang Liang thought for a while, and then responded to his father with the words in his mouth.

There were only three heirs of the former king. Although Xiong Qi, Changping Lord of the Qin State, was also of the orthodox bloodline, he was born to an ordinary Chu girl. Therefore, when the former king left the Qin State, he was handed over to the Queen Mother Huayang to raise him.

This should not be a secret in today's Chu State.

"No, the previous king had four sons!"

"When the former king was the hostage in the state of Qin, he favored a daughter of Chu the following year and gave birth to Xiong Qi, Lord Changping of the state of Qin. Six years later, another daughter of Chu gave birth to an heir for the former king, who was also a son. .”

"Because the late king was in great danger in Xianyang, he did not dare to announce this son, so he asked Chunshen Jun to take the youngest son out of Xianyang, and ordered me to send him to the ancestral land beside the Xiangshui River in Chu State. Shen Jun sent someone to raise him."

"Mr. Chunshen thought that his life experience was pitiful, like a duckweed in troubled times, and he was burdened with a great crisis, so he was named - Lingchu. Now, in a flash, it has been more than thirty years, and the young master has already grown up. "

Looking at her son's astonished gaze, Xiang Yan was also helpless. After all, she had buried this matter in her heart for many years. If she hadn't seen the token in her hand, she might not have remembered it.

Now, the young master came to see him, but he didn't know his purpose.

"So, the identity of that young master, in the current state of Chu, only the father knows?"

Xiang Liang's expression changed, he stepped forward slowly, and asked again with some uncertainty.

"I don't know. After all, Lord Chunshen has taken care of him for decades. After the late king returned to his country, he originally wanted to recruit him to the royal city, but he felt that his blood was humble and did not suit the queen's heart at that time, so he did not call him back."

"There should be some people who know, but I don't know who the specific people are."

There was not much connection between myself and Young Master Xiangchu, so I heard a piece or two of information from Mr. Chunshen from time to time, and I didn't dare to inquire about the specific content.

"Blood!"

Xiang Liang nodded slightly, he was only the son of a humble Chu girl favored by the former king, how could he be compared with the heir born of the queen today, but Xiang Liang felt that the other party appeared at this time, and the plot was definitely not trivial.

But for hundreds of years in Chu State, the succession of the throne has been orthodox and noble people. Xiong Qi, who is far away in Qin State, has long been excluded, and the same is true for the son.

"Father, bring the distinguished guests!"

Xiang Yan was about to say something to Xiang Liang, when Xiang Bo's voice sounded again outside the military tent of the shogunate. Hearing this, he waved his palm at his son, who was standing on one side, and Xiang Yan stepped forward, waiting quietly.

******

"General Xiang Yan, after more than thirty years, we meet again!"

Uncle Xiang led the way, while Xiang Liang glanced at his father, walked out of the military tent, within a radius of ten feet, no one could approach, and then returned to the shogunate again.

Looking at the two men who had already walked in front of his father at this moment, and listening to his voice, Xiang Liang's expression did not change much, he was already prepared in his heart, while Xiang Bo's eyes were as curious as before.

Those two people, the one who is the leader, is clearly aristocratic of the Chu State, dressed in the light red fire phoenix brocade robe of the Chu State, with the texture of the totem emerging, long hair tied into the crown, and the body is full of etiquette. A trace of heroism.

He was more than eight feet tall, stood in front of his father, slightly over an inch, bowed his hands, and laughed loudly.

The man in the gray brocade robe beside him didn't say much, and quietly followed the man who spoke, motionless, but Xiang Liang could clearly feel the power hidden in the other's body.

"Xiang Yan has seen the young master!"

With just this one word, Xiang Yan has confirmed the identity of the other party.

What's more, Xiang Yan has no doubt that the person who is going today is the true deity of the young master. If it is a substitute or other tricks, then he should know what the consequences will be.

Striding forward, wearing a heavy silver armor, he clasped his fists and gave a heavy salute.

"Hahaha, General Xiang Yan, when you left Qin with a negative opinion, you were at the peak of your power, suppressing the Zhuangji rebellion, and ranked among the famous generals of Chu. Now, more than [-] years later, you have become the pillar of Chu gone."

"Thinking about it, both the late king and Lord Chunshen will be very pleased."

"For decades, due to the order of the late king, I have not dared to meet General Xiang Yan in person, thinking that I saved my life back then, and today I hope that the general will receive a gift from him to repay my long-term wish."

Hearing General Xiang Yan's words, the young master had a smile on his face, took a step forward, and supported him with both hands. Then, following the words in his mouth, he fell down again. Suddenly, he half-kneeled inside the military tent, folded his fists and lowered his head, for Royal gift.
