Not long after Ye Leyi entered the Chu State, Qin Luo also followed. However, the path he took was completely different from Yereyi's, and he rode directly from the Zhanlu steppe and arrived at the Wuping Pass.

"Stop!" The soldiers guarding the pass saw that the comer was dressed as a Qiang herdsman, and although he looked gentle, he had to be vigilant. The man asked Qin Luo in a loud voice, "Who is here?" ”

Qin Luo dismounted and took out the jade pendant given to him by the blacksmith Sun, which was a token of the intervening person. He handed it to the guard, "I have something important to ask to see General Feng." ”

"You wait here first." The guards knew this kind of jade pendant, and he didn't embarrass Qin Luo anymore, and hurriedly ran to report to General Feng.

General Feng had just settled everyone in the Chishui Department and was about to rest, when he saw a token from Xiang Qiang. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand suspiciously, and said in his heart At this time, who is looking for him?

Could it be the blacksmith grandson? What's going on again? General Feng hurriedly asked the guards to sneak the man in.

Qin Luo followed the soldiers, shuttled all the way from the trail, and entered the general's mansion. On the way, he saw a lot of Chishui soldiers swaggering around the streets. After all, they came from the vast and boundless grassland, and they rarely saw such a bustling and lively street scene.

It seems that Yereyi arrived before him and has already arrived.

"Qin Luo, it's you?" When General Feng saw that it was Qin Luo for the first time, he was shocked, "Why are you here?" ”

Qin Luo smiled lightly, "I'm here for the Qingyun Ministry, and I'm also here for the Chu State." ”

"For Qingyun and Chu State?" General Feng didn't know why, and looked at Qin Luo suspiciously.

Qin Luo explained: "Tuoba Yan sent me over to ally with Great Chu. ”

"So you're a messenger." General Feng finally understood, "Tuoba Yan, will you bow your head to us and sue for peace?" ”

"The Qingyun Department lost Danyang City, and Tuoba Yan lost his identity as the overlord of the grassland, so he had to bow his head."

General Feng naturally knew about the change of regime on the grassland, and he said with some schadenfreude: "If you do your own evil, you can't live." ”

If it weren't for Tuoba Yan who was in a hurry to attack the Chu State, the Chishui Ministry would not have had a chance to rebel, and it was only because he was greedy and didn't swallow the elephant.

"Having said that, if the emperor can form an alliance with the Qingyun Ministry, it will also be beneficial."

General Feng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the emperor would prefer to form an alliance with the Chishui Ministry rather than the Qingyun Ministry." ”

After all, the Qingyun Ministry had just fought a battle with Southern Chu, and even the old khan of Qingyun before had almost ruined the country and the family of Great Chu.

On the other hand, the Chishui Department has always been at peace with Da Chu, and they have neither feuds nor close grudges. In the eyes of the Southern Chu monarchs, the Chishui Department is many times better than the Qingyun Ministry.

But knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, Qin Luo knew Yele Zaron's ambition very well, and he advised: "Don't be fooled by the surface of the Chishui Department, Ye Le Zaron is ambitious, and he is more terrifying than Tuoba Hao back then. Ye Leyi, the second lady of the Ye Le family, is an ambitious woman, the point is that this woman is very smart and has a strong ability to coordinate the overall situation. ”

"You know her so well?" General Feng said curiously. He didn't know the real relationship between Qin Luo and Ye Leyi, but Ye Leyi had helped Qin Luo and himself before, and they were just friends.

Ye Leyi has a life-saving grace for General Feng, and General Feng naturally prefers the Chishui Department. Qin Luo also knew that if the Chu State offended the Chishui Ministry now and refused to make peace, it would be equivalent to declaring war. And with the current strength of the Chu State, it is impossible to defeat the Chishui Ministry.

So Qin Luo proposed: "Then, both sides will be aligned." ”

"W-how is this possible?" General Feng was surprised. The first one in the Chishui Department will not agree.

Qin Luo smiled: "Of course, one bright and one dark. The imperial court is at peace with the Chishui Ministry on the surface, but secretly, don't refuse the Qingyun Ministry. ”

"Qin Luo, you are really ......" General Feng didn't know what to say after hearing this, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and smiled, "You are really a ghost." ”

In order to avoid meeting with the people of the Chishui Ministry, Qin Luo asked General Feng to arrange a place for him to live away from the post station. The next day, Liu Changfeng also came from Xiang Qiang, and under the leadership of General Feng, he finally met Qin Luo.

After Liu Changfeng came in, he immediately told Qin Luo, "Don't worry, I've been staring behind you, and no one is following." ”

Qin Luo and Liu Changfeng deliberately came to Nanchu one day after the other, and they were afraid that Tuoba Yan or Tuoba would secretly send someone to follow them. Seeing that Liu Changfeng had been guarding the border for a day and had not found anything abnormal, Qin Luo was relieved.

"I didn't expect Tuoba Yan to be really big-hearted, so he let you go like this?" Liu Changfeng said in disbelief.

Qin Luo said with a smile: "Tuoba Yan has always said the same, I'm not guarding against him." However, Tuoba Ling did not send anyone to follow him, which was unexpected. ”

Tuoba Ling and Qin Luo have always had a bad relationship, this is something that everyone knows on the grassland. Liu Changfeng said curiously: "Is he starting to believe in you?" ”

"Impossible." Qin Luo said firmly, "I'm afraid he wanted me to run away and deliberately didn't let people follow him." ”

"That's right." Liu Changfeng suddenly realized, "You are gone, and he is also relieved." No wonder he suddenly agreed to let you send Da Chu. ”

"It's a pity, let him rejoice in vain, I won't leave." Qin Luo has the mission of the intermediary, how can he escape from the battle?

"I'm not going to go." Liu Changfeng looked at Qin Luo and solemnly promised.

Qin Luo looked at him with relief, and then said: "Getting back to the point, now that Chu State and Chishui are ready to marry, the situation is not in our favor. ”

"General Feng also agreed to marry the Chishui Ministry?"

"General Feng didn't say it explicitly, but I know that he prefers to form an alliance with the Chishui Ministry." Qin Luo analyzed, "But I have already talked to the general, let him stabilize the Chishui Department first, and form an alliance on both sides." ”

After that, Qin Luo repeated the proposal he had told Feng Rubing before, and Liu Rufeng smacked his tongue while listening, "You are really a ghost, what General Feng said is not bad at all." ”

"However, General Feng alone is not enough. I heard that the envoy sent by the imperial court this time was Lu Ziyu. Qin Luo said.

"That's right, I've also inquired, this person is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he is fully responsible for this contact with Chishui."

Qin Luo was very surprised, he didn't expect that Lu Ziyu was now a waiter in the dignified ceremonial department, and his hard work really paid off. Qin Luo said: "He is my friend, with him, we can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"You know each other."

"Yes, I'll have to meet him privately." Qin Luo took out a letter and gave it to Liu Changfeng, "I have a letter, please pass it on to him." ”

"Okay." Liu Changfeng took the letter, thinking that with the help of General Feng and Lord Lu, they would definitely be able to complete this mission.
