In the Wei king's capital Daliang City because of the good news of Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, and Xu Yin, the general of Fen Chengsai, as well as the coming end of the year, the whole city was boiling, and the government and the opposition were celebrating, in Linzi, the royal capital of Qi, the king of Qi, Lu Xizheng, and the front hall of the main hall of the palace summoned a distinguished guest, and this distinguished guest was precisely Zhao Hongrun's sixth emperor brother, Rui King Zhao Hongzhao.

Speaking of which, Zhao Hongzhao arrived in Linzi in October, and after arriving here, he wanted to immediately persuade the king of Qi to send troops to attack Chu and support his country Wei.

Unfortunately, when Zhao Hongzhao handed over the credentials, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, did not summon him, but only arranged for him to live in a post house in the city.

In desperation, Zhao Hongzhao could only bribe the people of the Qi Palace with the gold and silver he carried, hoping to see the King of Qi as soon as possible, but unfortunately it has not been effective.

On the contrary, Zhao Hongrun spent almost the silver taels on hand, so that he and his guards lived in a very difficult situation in the post house.

What's worse is that the Qi people in the post house don't care about his identity as the prince of Wei at all, and when they see that he has spent his silver and two dollars, they are not as respectful as before.

But Zhao Hongzhao was not angry because of this, because he knew very well that this was the treatment of protons. Even, his proton life is relatively comfortable, after all, so far, Qi Guo doesn't care about him taking the initiative to take the role of proton, so he didn't send someone to watch him.

In other words, if Zhao Hongzhao had the idea of returning to Wei, he could leave at any time.

However, Zhao Hongzhao did not flee back to Wei because of this, because he knew better that the country that gave birth to him and raised him needed him, and he needed to persuade the king of Qi to unite with Wei and form a three-kingdom alliance of "Qi, Weilu" and join forces to fight against Chu.

Therefore. He quietly lived in the post house in the city, waiting for the summons of the King of Qi.

This is a full two months, until today's year-end New Year's pass, the King of Qi Lu Xi sent someone to summon him to the palace of the King of Qi, and it was very unexpected by Zhao Hongzhao. In the main hall of the main hall, he was summoned with the standard treatment of receiving envoys from other countries.

Qi King Lu Xi, Lu Jiang's surname, according to Zhao Hongzhao's visual measurement, about thirty-four years old, long face, thin beard, slightly pale, if not ruthless, it is a long-term immersion in women caused by physical weakness.

But it is undeniable that judging by appearance. This King of Qi is much better maintained than his father Emperor Wei Tianzi of Zhao Hongzhao.

Moreover, judging from the decoration and furnishings in the palace, this King of Qi is most likely a hedonistic person, and it is not ruled out that he is also a Ming monarch, but in general, he feels that he is not as conscientious as Wei Tianzi.

"Thanks to King Qi's summons, Xiao Wang is grateful."

Since sitting down, Zhao Hongzhao has been struggling with the self-title of the first sentence. Whether or not to call himself "Wei Proton" or not, but after weighing it. He still decided to call himself "Xiao Wang", because he felt that when the King of Qi summoned him today, it was very likely that something had happened to the Chu State, and this change would make his proton identity dispensable.

"Xiao Wang...... Hey, hey, hey. "King Lu Xi of Qi heard this. He smiled hehe, his hoarse laughter with a bit of coldness made Zhao Hongzhao feel uncomfortable.

"Ji Zhao (Zhao Hongzhao), what are you thinking?"

Zhao Hongzhao smiled when he heard this: "Perhaps, what Xiao Wang thinks in his heart." Slightly the same as King Qi. ”

Qi King Lu Xi glanced at Zhao Hongzhao deeply, and then suddenly shook his head a few times without the majesty of a king, rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay...... The widow doesn't like to play tricks, so let's talk about it. ”

『……』

Zhao Hongzhao was stunned by the indecent behavior of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and was stunned for a long time, before revealing a reluctant smile: "Please show the king of Qi." ”

I saw that Lu Xi changed to a lazy sitting position, raised his hand without respect and pointed at Zhao Hongzhao lazily, as if absent-mindedly, and said: "Originally, the widow is too lazy to take care of you...... Who told you to come from the kingdom of Wei in the west? Your old son Ji Si, more than ten years ago, he teamed up with Xiong Tuo, the king of Xucheng of Chu State, to destroy the Song State, and this account has not yet been settled with you! …… What do you say about this? ”

Zhao Hongzhao smiled slightly, and said without being arrogant or humble: "Believe that my Wei State will definitely be able to replace the position of the Song State in the 'Qilu Song' Triple Alliance." ”

"Huh?" Qi King Lu Xi looked at Zhao Hongzhao in surprise.

After all, Zhao Hongzhao's words were indeed beautiful, not only overshadowing the grievances of Wei to attack and destroy the Song State with one word, but also showing his intention and position.

"Interesting, interesting......"

Lu Xi, the king of Qi, shook his head without the majesty of a monarch and looked left and right, as if he wanted to look at Zhao Hongzhao thoroughly, and his somewhat strange eyes made Zhao Hongzhao a little stunned.

After all, Qi people are good prostitutes, good men, this is not an uncommon thing among countries, therefore, Zhao Hongzhao is afraid that the King of Qi in front of him is also this kind of person with the good of Longyang.

No, the next sentence of Qi King Lu Xi made Zhao Hongzhao feel excited.

"Well, he's handsome, and he's smart, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

"Damn!"

Zhao Hongzhao cursed secretly in his heart, and was so frightened that he immediately changed the topic: "King Qi summoned me today, but what happened to the Chu State?" ”

Qi King Lu Xi was stunned when he heard this, and finally stopped looking at Zhao Hongzhao like a judgment, and said with a strange smile: "Recently, there is a guy named Ji Run in your Wei country, who not only defeated the 160,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, but also counterattacked Xiong Tuo's territory and conquered his eighteen cities, and now Xiong Tuo is shrinking in only three cities...... Hey, hey, hey Is it your uncle? ”

"Ji Run...... Is it Hongyun?'

Hearing the name of his long-lost younger brother, Zhao Hongzhao felt a sigh of emotion in his heart, took a deep breath and said proudly: "Yes, Su Wang Ji Run is also my Wei Guo Ji clan, but he is not Xiao Wang's uncle, but Xiao Wang's younger brother......"

"Younger brother?" Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was stunned again when he heard this.

"Ah, Xiao Wang is sixth, and Hongrun ...... No, Ji Run, he is ranked eighth, he is only fourteen years old this year. ”

"Fourteen years old......

For the first time, King Lu Xi's eyes showed a solemn look.

In his opinion, if that Ji Run is seventy or eighty, he doesn't care at all, but if the other party is just a fourteen-year-old boy, then the problem is big.

At the age of fourteen, he was able to defeat the 160,000 army of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, and almost destroyed all the latter's land......

Such a talented man is now only fourteen years old, which means that, barring accidents, he has at least thirty or forty years to live......

『……』

Qi King Lu Xi glanced at Zhao Hongzhao deeply, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Hey, hey, hey, it's really a great little guy...... The widow can predict that this son will be unlimited in the future. …… It's better to eradicate such a dangerous little guy as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Hongzhao frowned when he heard this, although he also understood that Lu Xi was saying this on purpose, but he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, the King of Qi in front of him, his heart was really difficult to figure out.

"If the King of Qi is interested in the land of my Wei Kingdom, this is a great opportunity right now. …… However, our Great Wei will not die because of this, and when the country is in trouble, our Wei people should fight to the death to resist foreign countries. …… Moreover, even if the national strength is difficult to support and the country does not continue, our Wei people can also move westward and escape into the desert of Longxi, and I believe that by that time, the Qi State, which occupies the territory of the Wei State, should be able to be the Chu State alone. ”

『……』

Lu Xi, the king of Qi, did not speak when he heard this, because he knew that Zhao Hongzhao was talking the opposite.

Saying that the State of Qi, which occupies the territory of the State of Wei, can be the State of Chu alone, just kidding, if the State of Qi suffers heavy losses because of the attack on the State of Wei, then at that time, it will not only be the State of Wei that will lose the country.

Is it really the state of Chu in the south as an ornament?

Like the current situation, Qi and Wei share the pressure on the east and west ends of Chu, but once Qi attacks Wei, then, at that time, most of Qi's territory will border Chu, and whether Chu sends troops from the east or west, it will inevitably be Qi.

Because of this, it is impossible for Qi to attack Wei, let alone destroy Wei, on the contrary, Qi hopes that Wei will maintain its current national strength and share part of the pressure from Chu for him.

Because of this, after Wei Tianzi and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, attacked the Song State together, although the King of Qi Lu Xi was angry, he did not take revenge on the Wei State, and this is the reason.

The state of Qi coincides with the interests of the state of Wei.

"The widow likes you more and more......" After saying something that frightened Zhao Hongzhao, Qi King Lu Xi stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, and said very happily: "Let's talk about the alliance." ”

"He agreed?"

Zhao Hongzhao was shocked when he heard this, and said respectfully: "I, the Wei State, am willing to respect the King of Qi as the leader of the alliance." ”

"Hmm......" Lu Xi smiled and nodded, waiting for Zhao Hongzhao's next step, but Zhao Hongzhao didn't follow at all.

"That's all?" Lu Xi asked in surprise: "At the beginning, the Song State bowed down to my Daqi and paid tribute every year......

Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said: "If it was in the past, my Wei State would also be willing to be a vassal to your country and pay tribute every year, but it's a pity that ......"

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that now there is a sentence in my Great Wei: I am Great Wei, I will not pay compensation, do not cede land, do not pay tribute, and do not make peace. The prince guards the country, and the king dies! ”

『……』

When Lu Xi, the king of Qi, heard this, he was moved, and his eyes rolled again and again.

"Wei Guo, the picture is not small......

Lu Xi said secretly.

But after a second thought, he laughed.

It is true that just as it is impossible for Qi to destroy Wei, it is impossible for Wei to destroy Qi, and with the behemoth Chu State in the south, there will be no conflict between Qi and Wei, so no matter what Wei becomes in the future, as long as he does not destroy the country, it doesn't matter if Qi State.

"Hmm......"

Qi Guolu Xu's fingers continued to tap the corners of his forehead, as if he was thinking about something, his action made Zhao Hongzhao a little worried, after all, whether it succeeds or not, in the end, it still depends on the words of this King of Qi.

Suddenly, Qi Guo Lu Xi slapped his palm, startling Zhao Hongzhao.

"The widow refuses to form an alliance!"

『……』

Zhao Hongzhao opened his mouth, a little difficult to accept.

He couldn't turn a corner: it was obviously a win-win situation, why would this King of Qi refuse? (To be continued.) )
