A few days later, Jiang Yi arrived in Chudu.

Because it carries a guard of honor with the messenger, it is relatively smooth to clear the customs all the way.

For his arrival, it was naturally expected by the Chu State, but the King of Chu did not entertain him, but only sent a small official, and after taking him to the post house, he ignored it.

This is three to five days.

During this period, no one came to contact Jiang Yi, nor did he have any intention of entertaining him, as if they had forgotten him.

There is no need to say much about what this means in terms of diplomatic relations.

If this is put on other people, so sloppy, I am afraid that it will either speak loudly about the king of Chu, or in a fit of anger, he will walk away.

However, Jiang Yi is not an ordinary person, he is not in a hurry at all, he travels every day, and he also took this opportunity to visit the Chudu Market.

Chu Palace, in the study.

The king of Chu was asking about this: "That Jiang Yi, after arriving in the Chu capital, it has been so many days, and he is not in a hurry to see this king?" ”

"This ......" Chu Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the report, Jiang Yi eats and drinks every day, and when he is idle, he also walks around my Chudu Market and buys a lot of things. ”

"Huh." King Chu smiled: "He's quite leisurely, he didn't come to play, and he forgot about his own state affairs." ”

When Chu Xiang heard this, he said tentatively: "The king, in the opinion of a micro-minister, it is not good to treat the envoys of other countries so slowly, and it is not good to spread it, it is better to see it early and send it away." ”

"En......" King Chu pondered for a moment and said: "Originally, I wanted to humiliate the Qin envoy with this, but since the prime minister said so, then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

The next day, the Chu State Council Hall.

"Xuan, Qin envoy to meet ~~~~"

The eunuch's voice came, and after a short time, Jiang Yi had already stepped into the main hall, stepped forward, stood still in the middle, and then bowed down and gave a deep salute: "Foreign envoy Jiang Yi, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ”

His etiquette standards were in place, and the King of Chu also stretched out his hand slightly: "The envoy is exempt." ”

"Your Highness." Jiang Yi straightened up, but he didn't make his intentions clear, but smiled and arched his hand again towards the ministers of Chu in the hall: "Your Excellency is polite......"

His actions are as familiar as everyone else, people can't help but pout when they see this, and some people sneer, with a look of disdain, how can anyone pay attention to him.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi was not embarrassed at all, but smiled and said: "It seems that the state of Chu is like this, and it was too much to worry about it before." ”

"What do you mean by that?" King Chu couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Yi said to him: "Before, I always thought that Chu Jun was too busy to meet him, but now it seems that the Jun of Chu and his subordinates are all people who don't know etiquette, since this is the case, then I naturally understand why I waited so many days before, Chu Li is like this, no wonder or not." ”

As soon as he said this, there was no doubt that he immediately attracted the wrath of the people.

"Qin envoy is presumptuous!"

"Bold Jiang Yi! How dare you humiliate my Chu State like this! ”

One by one, the ministers glared angrily and pointed at each other.

King Chu's face also became gloomy.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Yi hurriedly defended: "You are angry, and listen to me. ”

"The state of Chu has been a big country for a hundred years, and it has always regarded itself as a state of etiquette, and has always looked down on the state of Qin, and even regarded Qin as a barbaric land, a barbaric state, but as everyone knows, in my Qin country, even if the scholars see each other, even if they don't know each other, if one person gives a gift, the other party will inevitably return to it, but today on this temple, in the face of the monarch and a group of ministers, he gave a salute first, but he was ridiculed and abused, and the gift of Chu is not visible?"

"You!" Some ministers stammered, stretched out their hands angrily, and were speechless for a long time.

Chu Xiang said lukewarmly: "Qin envoys don't have to be skillful. ”

"It's not the same country." Jiang Yi said: "I'm stating the facts, isn't Xiangguo missing?" ”

Chu Xiang frowned.

The King of Chu raised his hand, stared at Jiang Yi coldly, and said: "Lord Jiang, in the temple of the Chu State, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, if you anger this king, can you know the consequences?" ”

"His Royal Highness is the king, and the king's anger is enough to ambush millions of corpses, not to mention the head of the king." Jiang Yi said unhurriedly.

"The messenger knows it, and he dares to talk nonsense." King Chu's voice was cold again.

Jiang Yi said with a smile: "Your Highness only knows the anger of the king, but can you hear the anger of the envoy?" ”

Hearing this, the king of Chu couldn't help but sneer: "The anger under the feet is nothing more than stepping away from the crown and grabbing the land with his head." ”

"Definitely." Jiang Yi's face did not change: "This is the anger of the rats, and the anger of the scholars must be splashed with blood in five steps!" At that time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be slow to make envoys, insult envoys, and then kill envoys, which will be notorious, and I, Jiang Yi, will definitely achieve a good reputation! ”

When the ministers of the Chu State heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they discussed in a whisper, and many people were impressed by Jiang Yi, but people didn't expect that this civil official of the Qin State would have such backbone.

Don't look at Jiang Yi in front of Xiao Yuan, he is flattering, nodding his head, but when he goes to other countries, he has never been afraid of life and death, and he fights with reason.

King Chu was also stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes, weighed left and right, and then smiled heartily: "Haha!" That's it, the Qin envoy is really eloquent, this king can't argue with you, this time, it is indeed the king's heavy government affairs, and he has neglected the envoy a little, so he doesn't have to go to his heart. ”

"Where, where, Your Highness is serious." Jiang Yi immediately bowed down and accepted it when he saw it.

The original plan of the King of Chu was to humiliate Jiang Yi first, but he didn't expect that the latter could speak well and directly seize the opportunity to satirize the Chu State.

At this time, he also revealed the topic and asked directly: "Qin envoy is here, why do you want to explain it." ”

Jiang Yi said: "Your country has arrested my Qin businessman for no reason, Your Highness won't know about this matter, right?" At this point, it is precisely to ask why. ”

"What is gratuitous?" The king of Chu said with a smile: "Those merchants are active in the Chu capital, and my country has reason to suspect that most of them are meticulous. ”

"Then Your Highness can find out?" Jiang Yi asked directly.

"This is yet to be confirmed." The King of Chu said, and said: "However, the matter of Qin Shang is not something that can be solved by the envoy with a word, how to deal with it, on the side of the Chu State, it is still necessary to determine their true identity." ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, how long will it take?" Jiang Yi asked again.

"It's hard to say." King Chu said with a smile.

I thought that Jiang Yi would be in a hurry, but after the latter pretended to think about it, he said: "Then Your Highness will kill them directly." ”

"What?" King Chu was a little stunned, and thought that there was something wrong with his ears.

Jiang Yifeng said lightly: "These Qin merchants, now in the hands of His Highness, whether they are dead or alive is a matter of Chu State's words, and I, Qin State, cannot make any compromise on Chu State in this matter, rather than wasting words, it is better to kill them, and it is better to go back to pay the errand as soon as possible." ”
