Yingcheng, in the palace of King Chu Huai, a grand banquet is being carried out vigorously, because of Pengcheng's victory, King Chu Huai feasted his ministers. On this continent, if you talk about the vastness and luxury of the palace, there is no kingdom that can be compared with the Chu State, although the Qin State was once the most powerful country on this continent, but in the past hundred years, the successive kings of the Qin State have been determined to strengthen the army and enrich the country, expand the territory, and do not pay much attention to their own enjoyment, and the king of the Han State is lofty, and now it can be described as shabby, the original large area of the Yan Palace was divided by him and used as the various yamen of the imperial court, and the place where he and his princess Xin lived was less than one-third of the original.

And the king of Chu Huai, inherited the legacy of his ancestors, living in the south, far away from the war in the Central Plains, its luxury and wealth are naturally unmatched, and the king of Chu Huai is also a king who loves to enjoy, over the years, he has continuously expanded the palace, collected rare stones, strange flowers and plants, and decorated the entire palace with great grandeur, even if Zhongli is a person who has seen the world, it is amazing all the way.

For so many years, as the supreme head of the secret organization of the Qin Dynasty, he entered the palace of the king of Chu for the first time. By his side, one left and one right are accompanied by Mingtai and Mao Wei. Mingtai was born in a famous family in the Qin State, which is better, but Mao Wei almost looked straight in his eyes, he was born in a poor family, and the Han Kingdom is a country that pays great attention to simplicity, how have he ever seen such luxury.

"I've seen the king!" Zhongli smiled and clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed to King Chu Huai, who was standing on the steps at this time, who greeted him in person, "How can Zhongli be able to greet King Lao in person?"

The rich King of Chu Huai smiled: "The name of Guan Nei is already like thunder, but he only hears his name, and does not see his person, today I finally see the deity, this king is very happy, this one is Mr. Mao, right?"

King Chu Huai's eyes looked at Mao Wei behind Zhongli.

Mingtai gently stabbed Mao Wei, who was still in a dream. Mao Wei took two steps forward in a panic and bent down deeply, "Grass people Mao Wei, I've seen the king."

King Chu Huai looked Mao Wei up and down at Mao Wei, who was a little panicked, it was hard to believe that such a thin little guy had the secret of a weapon that shocked the people of the world, the Qin people were really powerful, not only tied people out, but also made people willing to work for them.

"Mr. Mao is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which is the blessing of Great Qin, and it is also the blessing of my Great Chu, and there are many places to rely on Mr. Mao in the future!" King Chu Huai laughed.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the grass people are willing to work for the king!" Hearing the other party's gentle words, Mao Wei settled down a little and hurriedly said.

"Grass people, hehehe, you won't be grass people anymore." King Chu Huai looked at Mao Wei with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Mao has a unique skill, and when he arrives in my Daqin, he doesn't dare to say anything, and it is certain that he will be sealed." Zhongli silently sealed King Chu Huai's mouth.

King Chu Huai was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly, "Okay, Zhong Houye, please come in, the banquet has already been prepared, just waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guests, today we are going to have a drink, not drunk and not returning, one is to celebrate Mr. Mao's abandonment of darkness and light, and the other is to celebrate my Great Chu's victory over the Han army in Pengcheng, and greatly killed the lofty and unbeatable majesty, hahaha, please!"

"Please!" Zhongli bowed to each other.

King Chu Huai flicked his sleeves and turned around, he was a little unhappy in his heart, he originally wanted to say something to tempt Mao Wei, what he said from the mouth of the king himself was always much heavier than what Zhong Li, the Hou Ye of the Qin State, said, but Zhong Li was extremely shrewd, and all the words he didn't say were blocked in his mouth at once, this time the Chu State defeated the Han army, and the Qin people here really contributed a lot, and now is not the time to turn his face, so he can only swallow this breath raw. Fortunately, the two parties also agreed in advance that they could not eat meat, and the soup was always drunk.

"Master Zhong, please!" Huang Xie greeted him with a smile, and behind Huang Xie, standing was the Taiwei of Chu State.

"Huang Xiang, Taiwei Qu, I've admired it for a long time!" Zhongli arched his hand.

"Master Zhong, please!" The condescending eyes swept over the two of them and stayed on Mao Wei's body for a long time.

The banquet placed in the main hall, but Liao Liao has a few tables, and those who can enter the room are naturally the magnates of the Chu State, and the king of Chu Huai is high, and the first seat under his seat is Zhong Li, Mao Wei, Mingtai and others who are accompanied by Huang Xie and Qu Chong.

Huang Xie raised his wine glass, stood up, first bowed to King Chu Huai, and then turned to look at the officials of the Chu Dynasty in the hall: "King, colleagues, this first glass of wine, we have to pay tribute to the establishment of the Qin-Chu Alliance, everyone also knows that since the rise of the Han State in the north, in the past few years, it has been a constant war, the Han King is lofty, aggressive, Dai Yan, destroy Qi, swallow Wei Han, and its troops have pointed directly at me Qin Chu, although I Qin Chu formed an alliance last year, but did not act in unison, unified thinking, this is the defeat of Li Xin of Qin, The defeat of Linyi with my country is a thousand miles away! But now it is different, Great Qin and Great Chu have now fully realized the danger of the Han State to us, the sincere alliance of the two countries is the most stable foundation for defeating the Han State, the battle of Pengcheng is the best embodiment of the power of the Qin and Chu countries after the alliance, the elite of the 50,000 people of the new first army of the Han State was surrounded by my 100,000 army in Pengcheng, there is no way to the sky, there is no door to enter the ground, and the destruction is imminent!"

There was thunderous applause in the hall, and on the steps, King Chu Huai was also smiling, the panic after last year's defeat had been completely replaced by the joy after the victory in Pengcheng, and the Han army was not invincible.

"Here, toast!" Huang Xie said loudly.

"Congratulations to the King!" There was a congratulatory sound in the main hall, and King Chu Huai stood up with a smile, raised the wine glass in his hand, signaled to the ministers, and then drank it all.

"In this second cup, we should welcome an important person to join the Qin-Chu Alliance, and this one is Mr. Mao Wei from the Han Kingdom!" Huang Xie smiled and looked at Mao Wei, Mao Wei quickly stood up, bowed to everyone again and again, the panic on his face was unobstructed, and the crampedness of other Mao Wei, a suppressed laughter sounded in the hall, which made Mao Wei's face flush.

Huang Xie didn't laugh, but said in a deep voice: "The earth-shattering noise of Kangping City, the hundred-meter city wall was reduced to nothing, and thousands of soldiers died with the city at the same time. If it is the lives of all of you here, how can we make peace with them."

On the steps, King Chu Huai's face was slightly hot, after the battle of Kangping City, he was actually the one who wanted to surrender and beg for mercy the most, but he tried his best to dissuade Huang Xie and Qu Chong.

"The ministers can be surrendered, but the king must not be surrendered, if the ministers surrender, they can still get an official and a half position in the Han Dynasty, is the king ready to go fishing in Dayan Lake to spend the rest of his life?"

At that time, Huang Xie's roaring sound really shocked King Chu Huai.

"This Mr. Mao is the maker of the earth-shattering weapon that blew up Kangping City." Huang Xie deliberately changed the concept, Mao Wei was just one of the manufacturers of these weapons, but with such a slight change, it was the anger of Dachang Chu. There was an exclamation in the middle of the hall.

"Mr. Mao is here, so far, this kind of sharp weapon will be shared by the Han Kingdom and my Qin-Chu Alliance." Huang Xie announced loudly. Come, let's have this toast, and welcome Mr. Mao's abandonment of darkness and light."

In the main hall, there was another sound of jubilation.

Zhong Li has a smile on his face, the situation in the hall fully explains Huang Xie's status in the Chu State, although Qu Zhong is a captain, but it seems that only Huang Xie is the first to look forward, and the King of Chu Huai is more like a puppet shelf, just look at the reaction of the courtiers, you will know that Huang Xie is in the Chu State to cover the sky, but this person is very different from Tian Dan's situation in the Qi State, Huang Xie never seems to have any other ambitions, this pattern is impossible in the Qin State, if there is really a courtier like Huang Xie, the king's first reaction is probably to kill him.

Is King Chu Huai stupid? Not necessarily. Is he smart? I can't say it, looking up at King Chu Huai, who doesn't seem to care about Huang Xie's limelight, Zhong Xi has some emotion.

After three rounds of drinking, King Chu Huai really stood up, brushed his sleeves, and said: "Everyone, this king is not strong enough to drink, so you have to avoid the table first, everyone can do their own thing, take care of themselves!"

"Congratulations to the king!" The ministers of Chu seemed to be accustomed to King Chu Huai's style, got up and saw off King Chu Huai, and began to push the cup and change the lamp again, and there were more and more people toasting at their table, especially for Mao Wei, which was one after another. Less than half of the banquet was held, and Mao Wei was already drunk.

"Mingtai, you send Mr. Mao back first!" Zhong Li said: "I still have something to talk about with Huang Shoufu and Taiwei Qu."

"Yes, Waiting!" Mingtai got up, set up Mao Wei, and went out of the hall.

Huang Xie and Qu Chong also stood up, "Master Hou, there are many people here, it's too noisy, let's talk in another place!"

The three of them quietly left their seats and walked to a separate room next to the main hall.

"Zhong Houye, according to our previous agreement, Suizhou will be assigned to your country, but Mr. Mao can only stay in Suizhou, and all the workshop facilities for explosives must be built in Suizhou in the future, and you must allow us to send apprentices to follow Mr. Mao to learn the art of making explosives. I guess that's fine!"

"Of course, we will definitely abide by the previous agreement!" Zhongli said lightly: "The current situation, the two of you are also very clear, this time, although Huang Shoufu and Qu Taiwei worked hard to formulate such a seamless battle plan, which greatly frustrated the spirit of the Han army, but it did not hurt the Han army at all, I think the two of you also understand this qiē, so in Pengcheng, encircling but not annihilating, they just want to leave a line of room with the Han State, right?"

"Zhong Houye knows thousands of miles!" Qu Zhong said with a smile: "It is easy to completely annihilate this Han army now, but on the side of Daba Mountain, Bai Yucheng's Qilu army is eyeing the tiger, and in the Han land, Xu Yuan's Beiye is rubbing his hands, if we eliminate the new army of the Han State, the consequences are extremely unpredictable."

"So you're just trying to take advantage of this one thing."

"Not bad!" Huang Xie said calmly. The negotiating envoys of the Han Kingdom are already on the way, and I hope that Hou Ye will share this with your king after returning to China, so as not to affect the alliance between the two countries."

"Of course." (To be continued......)
