Xia Ji received a flying pigeon from Uncle Xia Yu and knew that he had gone to Yingdu with Gongzi Pingguo.

Since Uncle Xia Yu was not in Zhuye, there was no way to reply to the letter, so he could only pray silently for Uncle Xia Yu and Chen Guo.

Xia Zhengshu can now sit up and smile at her, his smile is very similar to Qu Hao's, and his innocent smile makes her full of happiness every day.

When she was alone in her spare time, Xia Ji also felt very miserable in her heart, although this child's name was Xia Zhengshu, but what flowed on her body was Qu Hao's blood, and all of this was given by Li Hao and Li Cang's two sisters and brothers, otherwise, with Qu Hao, although there would be no wealthy wealth, there would be no less happiness.

Xia Ji found the housekeeper Li Zhou and asked him to find two capable people to quietly investigate the situation of Li Cang and Li Hao.

She never dreamed that when she was amusing her son at home, Uncle Xia Yu and Qu Hao, the two most important men in her life, were drinking tea and chatting together in Yingdu.

After Uncle Xia learned from Qu Wu that Secretary Cai was also in Yingdu, he reported to Gongzi Pingguo, and the two decided to contact Secretary Cai as soon as possible.

Chen Guo also had spies in Yingdu, and through these people, he quickly found out the residence of Cai Guo's secretary Ji Zhong, and found out that Ji Zhong came to Yingdu to be the same as Gongzi Pingguo and Xia Yushu, hoping that Chu Guo would be open to his country.

Cai Guo was the Marquis of Cai Zhuang at this time, this country bordering Chen and Chu was smaller than Chen, Chu did not destroy Cai, first, Cai Guo's ancestor Yin was the marquis of Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Tianzi Yu Wei was still there, and the face of Cai Guo was more or less a little; The second is that Cai Guo is very good at currying favor with Chu State, so that Chu State can't make up his mind for a while.

But this time the Chu army suddenly attacked the state of Chen, so that the people of the Cai state suddenly lost a sense of security, because the Chu army had attacked the state of Chen a few months earlier and captured Huqiu.

If all the Chen State is taken this time, then Cai Guo will all fall into the territory of Chu State, like being made dumplings, Cai Guo will be turned into meat stuffing alive, and the weak and weak Cai Guo has no choice but to surrender.

The Marquis of Cai Zhuang sent Ji Zhong to Chu at this time, and it was precisely because he was frightened by the Chu army's attack on Chen, and the army was weaker than Chen's.

Uncle Xia quickly found out through spies the location where Secretary Cai lived: Spring and Autumn Residence - a private mansion owned by Cai Guoren.

Gongzi Pingguo immediately sent someone to send the name post to the Spring and Autumn Residence, and asked Ji Zhong to meet, Ji Zhong did not dare to slack off after seeing the name of Gongzi Pingguo, and led his subordinates to listen to Yuju to pay homage to Gongzi Pingguo and Uncle Xia Yu.

After greeting each other and greeting each other, the three exchanged ideas to get to the point.

"His Royal Highness Pingguo, Lord Sima, as far as I know about the battle of Chen Chu, the Chu State was not lightly injured, and now the voices of the government and the opposition of the Chu State are constantly retaliating against the Chen State, I don't know if His Highness and Lord Sima know?" Ji Zhong said.

"Your Excellency, Chen is weak and Chu is strong, this is a well-known thing. Chen Guo was able to win this battle, in addition to the Chu army's light enemy, Chen Guo's strong will to work together against the enemy was also an important reason. As for the fact that there are people in the Chu State who want to retaliate, this can only expose their nature of being strong on the outside and doing things in the middle. Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Indeed, this time, your country was able to severely defeat the spirit of the Chu State, and it also increased the confidence of other small countries to defeat the strong with the weak." Ji Zhong said.

"Your Excellency, Chen Cai and Chen Cai are both small countries, and I believe that you came to Yingdu this time to protect yourself and hope that Chu will not destroy Cai. In the face of the powerful Chu State, if the two countries support each other and adopt a consistent position, they can ensure their own interests to the greatest extent. Gongzi Pingguo said.

"Your Highness has a point. But I don't know what kind of concessions your country will make to the state of Chu? Ji Zhong said.

"Your Excellency, Chen Cai is facing the same situation, and I believe that the State of Chu has the same territorial ambitions for Chen Cai and the two countries. Therefore, it is fundamental to maintain the national system of our two countries. My suggestion is that as long as we keep the state system, we might as well form an alliance with the state of Chu, provided that the state of Chu ensures that it will not offend our state of Chen again. Gongzi Pingguo said.

"Your Excellency, Cai Guo and Chen Guo take the same position, so that Chu State will not dare to underestimate us. And our two countries should be more closely linked militarily, use each other's horns, form a military alliance, and support each other when the other country's country is invaded by foreign enemies. Uncle Xia Yu said.

"Your Highness and Lord Sima have a very good suggestion, it is indeed beneficial to our Cai and Chen countries, if the two countries form a joint force, it can deter the opponent." Ji Zhong said.

"Indeed, Chen and Cai can be allies of each other, and Chen and Cai can establish a closer military alliance, of course, this kind of military alliance only strives to have a foreign enemy threaten the security of the two countries, and there is no need to inform Chu." Childe Pingguo said.

"Yes, Your Highness. When I return to Cai, I will consult with the Marquis of Cai Zhuang, and then send envoys to your country to reach an agreement on the conclusion of a military alliance between the two countries as soon as possible. But the state of Chu doesn't seem to be in a hurry to contact me now, somehow. Ji Zhong asked.

"The state of Chu is the same for us. It should be selling at the price, so let's raise the asking price when we are impatient. Uncle Xia Yu said.

"It's okay if that's the case, I'm afraid we'll wait here, they're sharpening their knives." Ji Zhong said worriedly.

"If we are in a hurry, it will be easy for them to fall into the trap of the Chu people." Childe Pingguo said.

"But I'm usually busy with Cai Guo, and I have nothing to do here, so it's really hard to adapt." Ji Zhong said.

"What are your hobbies?" Uncle Xia Yu asked.

"At my age, my wife and concubine have long been familiar with it; The wine and food are not easy to digest, and the food is not sweet, so I love to enjoy the joy of fishing. Ji Zhong said.

"Chu is the land of fish and rice, and there should be a place for the joy of fishing, right? Why don't you relax and go fishing to your heart's content? Gongzi Pingguo said.

"Your Highness and Lord Sima want to ask the government and opposition of the Chu State not to think that we are in a hurry to reach a compromise and make false promises?" Ji Zhong said.

That's exactly what it means. Lord Sima likes to drink alcohol and tea, and stayed in Qingya Teahouse all day yesterday. And I love the wind and snow and the moon, there are many beauties in Yingdu Fengxiaolou, and the beautiful scenery of the night is beautiful, which makes people linger and forget to return. Gongzi Pingguo said.

"His Royal Highness and Lord Sima are very good, so in this way, it should be the Chu State who is anxious at that time, right? We can't just sit back and watch the sincerity of our two countries wear out, right? Ji Zhong said.

"Yes, let's relax here, and the Chu State will seize the time. Otherwise, if something happens here, they will have to deal with the aftermath; And the people of Chu will also worry about who we are trying to win over here to make internal responses, or to bribe officials. Uncle Xia Yu said.
