There was a cacophony of footsteps outside.

Trying to reach out and grasp the wall, she turned around, moving herself from the inner room and the bamboo chair she was sitting on to the outer room, and then facing the direction of the footsteps outside the door.

After a while, I saw four men in red official clothes and a woman in a blood-red coat led by Mao Biao to the front of Jieyuan's house. Arriving with them, of course, there was also Zhao Zhihai of the Qin State.

Before everyone entered the house, Zhu Lihua lowered his head and raised his hands, and said in a solemn voice: "The middle and older people, Sima is having a meal, and I invite all the guests to sit in the outer hall for a while." ”

After finishing speaking, Guo listened to Zhao Zhihai and asked with concern: "Is Sima still confused today?" ”

Zhu Lihua didn't raise his head, but shook his head slightly and said, "Lord Sima was awake for a moment last night, but he hasn't been awake since this morning. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Zhihai hurriedly sighed regretfully, and then said to the people beside him: "It seems that it is inconvenient for you to see Master Sima today. You also know that Master Sima is terminally ill, so he always looks like this. Please don't be surprised by the faux pas. ”

As soon as Zhao Zhihai's words fell, he heard a young woman's voice suddenly sound. The voice was whispering, obviously from the accent of the southern country.

When she heard this, she suddenly felt that the voice had a slight sense of familiarity in the strangeness. But he thought about it, but he didn't remember when he knew a native of Chu.

"There are more people in labor.

Lord Sima is in charge of state affairs, and he is already tired when he thinks about it, but now that he is old and sick on the couch, I should not have come to disturb him.

But it is precisely because of this that we have respect for Master Sima. So after discussing it, I felt that even a visit to Lord Sima from afar could be regarded as fulfilling some of the courtesy of the juniors, so I came uninvited. So why should the middle and greater people apologize? ”

The woman's words were quite decent, and the straight listener slowly raised her head, only to see a heroic woman in front of her wearing a pink Chu suit and a big coat smiling slightly after saying to Zhao Zhihai without humility or arrogance.

Although this woman is not as beautiful as Yu Xin'er, there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that sets off her differently, making people look attractive. In Lihua's view, this attraction is not like the attraction between men and women, but more like the centripetal force of the commander of the tens of thousands of troops against his own soldiers.

"Is this the princess of the Chu Kingdom, Mi Chunxi?"

Yu Lihua thought to himself, but in his heart, the back of Yu Xin'er in the inner room suddenly appeared.

Just as Lu Lihua was thinking about sadness, Zhao Zhihai on the side led everyone into the outer hall of the house where Jieyuan lived after another polite remark.

And after everyone entered the hall, he was pushed into the hall by Mao Biao and sat next to Zhao Zhihai.

The place where Jieyuan and Zhao Zhihai live is a small mansion in the outer city, so when everyone stepped into the outer hall, they all saw the picture of a maid in the inner room feeding porridge to the old man on the couch.

Even though the purpose of coming here today was not really to visit a mere Sima, when this picture appeared in front of them, everyone suddenly felt a little awe-inspiring in their hearts.

After all, although Jie Yuan's reputation is not prominent, he always earned face for the Great Zhou clan in the war with the Rong people, not to mention how this Lord Sima is so old that he can't be respected

Meaning.

Zhao Zhihai saw that everyone's faces were solemn, and after signaling the maid who came into the house to pour tea for everyone, he opened his mouth again to thank these Chu people for their visit as the master.

Then, he suddenly changed his tone and introduced the visitor to Zhu Lihua.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a student of Jieyuan Sima, my general of Hexi of Qin State, and the five great doctors. This time I came to Wangji, and it was General Yuli who would exercise all the powers of the alliance on behalf of our Great Qin. ”

As soon as Zhao Zhihai's words fell, he saw those Chu people looking at each other, obviously they were all shocked by Zhao Zhihai's words.

A man in his early forties immediately arched his hand to Zhao Zhihai and asked, "What the middle and greater people said is true, now that the Duke of Qin and the middle and the greater people are in Wangji, why do they want General Yuli to exercise power?"

Mi doesn't understand a little, and I ask someone in the middle school to be able to solve my doubts. ”

Zhao Zhihai glanced coldly at the person who spoke, he slightly wisped the long hair on his chest, and said to the person with a flat face: "Lord Mi, not to mention that I, Zhao Zhihai, am a person who is a man of his word, just because of my friendship with Lord Lingzun back then, I will never lie to you."

As for why General Lili was able to exercise the power of the alliance on our behalf, Lord Mi will naturally know about this matter in the future. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhihai's words, the man who spoke suddenly glanced at the young woman in the first seat, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Zhihai and said: "The boy is still hoping that the eldest person will forgive his sins, and his father was protected by the eldest person in the middle of the year, so he was able to escape from the death of the Qi country, and I will never forget this kindness from the whole of the Qi family."

However, the words of the bigger man in the Fang Cai were too shocking to the kid, so although the kid knew that this matter was a bit rude for the kid of Daqin's internal affairs to take the liberty of asking, the kid still wanted to know the reason.

If there is anything unspeakable hidden by the monarch of your country or the people of the middle and greater countries, then my Chu country will definitely help the people of the middle and greater countries and will not prevaricate. ”

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he calmly looked at Zhao Zhihai, whose face was sinking like water, and only waited for him to explain.

But at this time, a hawk-nosed man in his early thirties in front of him snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, although Qi Chang's words are abrupt, it is also something that we must know in the Chu State.

Otherwise, although we have a lot of soldiers and horses in the Chu State, we will not be driven by those cats and dogs casually.

If the monarch of your country and the people of the middle and greater countries do not speak at the alliance ceremony, then I, Mi Chunjia, can be sure that my Chu State will not send a single soldier to help your Qin State.

After all, who knows if it was the Qin State or some other chaotic rebel army guarding Huangyin. ”

As soon as Mi Chunjia said that, he looked at Zhao Zhihai and Zhu Lihua with a high-spirited look, and although the few people around him felt that Gongzijia's words were a little rude, there was nothing wrong with what he wanted to express.

Anyway, the four princesses took them to Zhao Zhihai today, and the fundamental purpose was to have a showdown with the Qin State. Therefore, he opened his words at the beginning, which is also in line with the straightforward character of the people of Chu.

"Hahahaha".

Zhao Zhihai stood up and looked around at the Chu people sitting opposite, and then when he moved his gaze to Qi Chunjia, he suddenly tied his hands, revealing the more domineering spirit of the Qin State.

Since Jia Gongzi insists on listening, then Zhao might as well just say it bluntly.

Do you know that General Yuli was promoted from a hundred generals to the post of general of Hexi in only four or five years, but why? ”

Zhao Zhihai asked coldly, but Gongzijia and the others, who heard this, shifted their surprised eyes to Zhu Lihua, who bowed his head and didn't say a word.

Only the handsome woman in a pink coat and a blood-red coat heard the words, but thoughtfully played with the teacup in her hand.

At this moment, she had completely recognized who the young man opposite who was sitting on the bamboo chair and bowing his head silently, but who had become the number one real power figure in the Qin State.

As Zhao Zhihai told the story of Lu Lihua's deeds of leading troops to resist the army over the years, Mi Chunxi, who had heard these past stories for a long time, suddenly remembered that when he fled to Yuanzhou many years ago, the owner of the teahouse opposite the General Mansion came.

He was still dressed in black, his face was still as white as jade, but his slender body could only be accompanied by the bamboo chair now, and there was no trace of the past.

His face is more engraved with stories than it was at the beginning, and it is no longer the pedantic and somewhat cute look in the teahouse.

Zhao Zhihai has told her his story a lot in the past few days, so when Gongzi Jia and Mi Chang were dumbfounded when they listened, Mi Chunxi secretly looked at Zhu Lihua, who began to raise his head, and his gaze became extremely resolute.

Why did he look sad? He looked like he had something on his mind. ”

Qi Chunxi saw the heroic appearance of Lihua at the moment, but the strange thing in his mind was that he always had a trace of sadness after seeing him, and that sadness could only be perceived by a woman.

Although he was afraid of being discovered, the sadness in his heart kept his head down and remained silent, until this moment, he seemed to have walked out.

"The greater of them praised it.

However, compared with half of the Qi country, which was seized by 20,000 iron horsemen of the Rong people in less than half a year, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Qi country rushed thousands of miles south to cross the Yellow River to escape for their lives. Although I was unable to turn the tide and prevent the Rong army from occupying our rivers and mountains, I led my troops from small to large, from weak to strong, and never lost in the years of fighting with the Rong people.

With 500 men, Muqi Pass resisted the tenfold Rong army without being conquered. Yuxiao Pass was ordered to lead 1,000 people to retreat, and 10,000 troops retreated.

Led the troops out of the pass to attack the commander of the army, the commander of the army, the tiger to welcome the greater people back to China, Qingshui Qingyang burned the camp fort with hundreds of people, and annihilated 5,000 Rong cavalry.

planned an ambush with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to annihilate the Rong army and 10,000 people in the field.

Then he seized Chaona, and was ordered to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack behind the enemy, occupy the Hanhai Sea in a different way, recapture hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, and fought no less than 100 times with the rebels, the Rong army, and the Qi army, and won all of them.

I don't need to say much about the rest of the matter, and not a single word that the greater of the people in the field has said to you is an exaggeration.

If you don't believe me, you can follow me to Hedong to have a look, and see what kind of banner the city heads of more than ten counties north of Xiaoshan are floating at this moment. ”

After coldly raising his head and saying this series of words, Zhu Lihua glanced at Gongzi Jia, who had just spoken disrespectfully, and said, "I wonder if Gongzi Jia thinks that this cat and dog are still qualified to lead the army to fight?" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Lihua stared coldly at Gongzi Jia, who was already sitting on pins and needles on the opposite side, and his eyes were suddenly full of the killing and coldness that controlled the life and death of tens of millions of people, where was there still a trace of respect and humility that Fang Cai showed in front of everyone.

I saw that Gongzi Jia, who was still full of arrogance, was already sweating in Zhao Zhihai's narration and Lu Lihua's words.

Because he suddenly figured out one thing, that is, his open-mouthedness made him annoy a person who was even more terrifying than Fang Yuanheng, the god of war of the Qin State.
