Qiu Liquid was stunned, and the conditions of the King of Chu were beyond his expectations.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I already understood the sinister intentions.

Before the cholera and Song kingdoms of Chu State, they were only secretly fueling the flames, and did not dare to support the prince in the open. Now, once the crown prince Zhen asked his daughter to come to serve the king of Chu, then the king of Chu would have a reason to directly support the prince, and the prince had the state of Chu to rely on, so I am afraid that it would be difficult for the king of Song to attack the prince.

What's more, the dowry of a hundred miles of land was not only not a gift for King Song, but also a disaster.

First, if the crown prince exchanged a daughter for a hundred miles of land, then his prestige would inevitably rise, which would be extremely unfavorable to Song Guo's next action against the prince.

Second, the danger is in the future, the state of Chu will support the prince of Song with a hundred miles, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, in order to repay the support of the king of Chu. I am afraid that the two hundred miles of land obtained from the Chu State at this moment will all be returned to the Chu State. Not only these two hundred miles of land, but in order to stabilize the country, the prince is afraid that he will also take out dozens of miles, or even a hundred miles, from the Song State to make friends with the Chu State.

This hundred miles is poisonous!

Qiu Li sighed silently in his heart, if he really accepted this hundred miles of land, I am afraid that the Song Kingdom would have many disasters from now on.

Thinking about it, Qiu Ye immediately laughed and said: "King, the grandson of the widow can come to the Chu Palace to serve the king, this is her great blessing, how can our country ask for the king's dowry." Therefore, please ask the king to take back the 100-mile dowry, and soon after, the widow will inevitably send the princess to the Chu Palace, and there will be a generous gift at that time. ”

Xiong Huai saw that Qiu Ye had withdrawn the sugar-coated cannonball, his face suddenly sank, and he said in an extremely gloomy tone: "Sir, this widow has always been fair, and he will never see his friends suffer." The king of Song can endure the pain and cut his love, how can the widow have no compensation?

If the world learns about this, isn't it that the king of Song is incompetent, so he can only send a woman in exchange for peace, and the widow is greedy for beauty, so he makes peace with the Song country. This kind of thing that makes the widow and the king of Song all hurt their reputations, the widow will not do. ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on Xiong Huai's face again: "Therefore, in order for the two countries of Chu and Song to be friendly for a long time, and in order to prevent the two countries of Chu and Song from falling into war again, the king of Song must have this hundred miles of land." ”

Then, without waiting for Qiu Li's reply, he spoke again: "If the King of Song doesn't want it, the widow has no choice but to give the land directly to the prince in order to compensate the crown prince." ”

Qiu Li's face changed when he heard this.

In order to give away the land, the king of Chu did not hesitate to threaten war, and even planned to forcibly give the land to the crown prince.

This...

Qiu Li's face kept changing, he was silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his face returned to normal, showing a hint of a smile, and he bowed respectfully: "Since the king loves the king so much, this is the blessing of our country, so that our country is disrespectful, and I can only accept the king's good intentions with shame." ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai was overjoyed, then looked at Qiu Ye and asked, "Sir, in this way, is it feasible to make friends between Chu and Song again within a month?" ”

Qiu Ye replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the minister will rush back to the Song Kingdom in the starry night today, and he will be able to persuade the widow to agree to make friends with the king within a month, so that there will be no more danger of war between Chu and Song." ”

"Good!" Hearing this, Xiong Huai immediately raised his wine glass, and then signaled to Qiu Li: "In this way, please Mr. drink this cup full, and the widow is waiting for Mr.'s good news in Yingdu." ”

"Please, King!" Qiu Liquid hurriedly raised his wine glass in return, and then swallowed all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai nodded, and then commanded loudly: "Order, have fun, and have a feast." ”

With Xiong Huai's order, the sound of silk and bamboo bells immediately sounded in the hall, and then, several dancing girls walked into the hall...

The other side.

Su Dai and Lou Su had already received the news since Qiu Liquid was summoned into the palace by the King of Chu, and then the two got together and waited for Qiu Liquid to return.

As time passed, for a long time, Qiu Liquid was not seen returning from the Chu Palace.

At this time, Lou Yu couldn't help frowning and said: "Su Zi, this Qiu Liquid has been in the palace for more than an hour, but it still hasn't returned, could it be that the Song State plans to leave Qi and Wei and make peace with the Chu State alone?" ”

Su Dai frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, the Song State occupies the land of the Chu State, which is a great shame for the King of Chu who has just destroyed the Yue State and repelled the Six-Nations Alliance." Therefore, as long as the Song State is unwilling to return the land, then the Chu State will definitely not give up.

On the Song side, with the help of Qi and Wei, the King of Song will never be able to return the land now, otherwise, the throne of the King of Song will be unstable. Therefore, I thought that Qiu Liquid would not agree to make peace with Chu State alone. ”

Lou Su nodded suspiciously.

Then, one of Lou Su's entourage hurriedly walked over and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, news just came from the Chu Palace, the King of Chu is having a banquet for Song Xiang, and the two sides are talking very happily. ”

Lou Yu was taken aback: "It's not good, could it be that Qiu Li has already sold us Qi and Wei under the persecution of the Chu State?" ”

Su Dai's face sank, he thought about it, and asked hesitantly, "When was the banquet of the King of Chu?" ”

"Just now?"

"Just now?" Su Dai's face softened, and then he said confidently: "This is the conspiracy of the King of Chu, taking the initiative to take the news, the purpose is to create an illusion, let us mistakenly think that the Song State betrayed the two countries of Qi and Wei, and then separated the three kingdoms!" ”

"Really?" Lou Yu asked hesitantly.

Su Dai nodded and said, "Please believe me, sir." ”

Time passed slowly in the anxiety of the two.

Japan.

Su Dai and Lou Su's entourage approached at the same time and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, just now Song Xiangqiu left the Chu Palace, and then did not return to the hotel, but went straight out of the city. Moreover, Song Xiang's entourage in the hotel also left the guests and went out of the city. ”

Lou Yu looked at Su Dai, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything.

“···” Su Dai's face froze.

On the fourth day of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms coming to Yingdu.

After Su Dai and Lou Su received the request of the king of Chu to make peace, they left.

And the uncle and son-in-law who rushed to Yingdu at the earliest, still never left.

Because, Mrs. Qin and Han Meiren's childbirth is approaching.

At the same time, as more and more feudal monarchs rushed to Yingdu, the army led by Gongsun Yan and the three of them was getting closer and closer to Yingdu.

On the second day of Su Dailou's departure, Zhao Chang left Yingdu and went to Handan to lobby the king of Zhao with the heavy gift of the Chu State, intending to reach the Chu-Zhao alliance.

Following.

Xiong Huai sacrificed to the temple in Taijiao, and officially canonized Gongzi Ziqing as the king of Huaiyin, and at the same time, appointed the doctor Jin Shang as the commander of Huaiyin and led the government affairs of Huaiyin. As for the position of Huaiyin Jun Sima, because Huaiyin is solemn of the Chu State, Jingyang has led a large army to guard Huaiyin, so he has withdrawn the military power of Huaiyin Jun.

The next day, Huaiyinjun, who was only 16 years old, left Yingdu on the second day of his canonization and went to Huaiyin to be sealed.
