As the clan of the Qin State, Ying Kui is known as the four nobles of the Qin State together with Ying Fu and Qi Rong and Wei Ran.

Ying Kui knew some things back then, if it weren't for Bai Qiqian's escort, and there was no Empress Dowager Xuan now, I am afraid that King Qin would also be replaced by someone else, so it is reasonable for Empress Dowager Xuan to treat Bai Qi differently.

Wei Ran has experienced these things, and he is very clear. Mi Rong fled to Qin to join his sister, and the bloody scene of the battle for the throne of King Qin is not clear.

Ying Kui said: "Saying that an alliance with the Chu State seems to be beneficial to my Great Qin. It's just that this covenant is a little child's play for a child to talk about. ”

"Confused." Empress Dowager Xuan spoke: "Right now, Hangu Pass is almost lost, and if the Qin State is defeated, the consequences will be even worse, and it is a great achievement to relieve the siege of Hangu Pass at the moment." If the old King of Chu goes back, it will be more beneficial to the Qin State, so the matter of the covenant can be postponed, and it will be necessary to send an important person to do it at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Xuan looked at King Qin: "What does the king think?" ”

"That's true, Hangu Pass was almost lost, and if we can talk about it now, we can give Daqin time to rest. However, this old King of Chu doesn't seem to want to leave, he is like a knife stuck in my Great Qin's heart, and Chu State doesn't want to ask for it. ”

King Qin's words made the Empress Dowager Xuan happy: "The little king of Chu wishes that the old king of Chu would die." They don't dare to fight with our Qin State, so naturally they won't come to ask for it. ”

King Qin asked, "Queen Mother, how can this be sent back?" ”

Empress Dowager Xuan didn't have an idea, but Qi Rong said: "If you can ask the queen to come out." ”

Everyone high-fived and praised: "Brilliant plan! ”

Queen Qin is the princess of Chu State, she is the daughter of the old King of Chu, if Qin and Chu form an alliance, she is the happiest person, and it is also her wish to send the old King of Chu back.

Ying Fu also said: "It's better to officially issue a letter of state, and use Bai Hui as an envoy to talk about this alliance with Chu State." The person who can solve the siege of Hangu Pass with a partial teacher will not be too bad to think about. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan asked, "What does the king think?" ”

Empress Dowager Xuan's question can be said to have decided the matter, as a mother to give her son, the king of Great Qin, a chance to make a final decision and show the authority of the king of Qin, she doesn't really want the king of Qin to make this final decision.

King Qin also understood what this meant, and nodded immediately: "Okay, just do it." However, one more order was added, and when the matter was settled, Bai Qi's army would return to Xianyang. ”

"It's time to come back and deserve a big reward for this great achievement." Empress Dowager Xuan drew an end to this meeting.

Bai Hui was delicious and drunk in the state of Chu, with wine and meat, and the king of Chu also sent someone to send a deer.

But Bai Hui's appetite is getting worse and worse.

Living in the capital of the king of Chu, Bai Hui didn't dare to run around, as if he was under house arrest in the guest house. What's more, there are still worries in my heart, I don't know what happened to Bai Qi, I don't know what happened to Hanguguan, and I don't know how to deal with those big people in the Qin State after they know about this matter. At this time, I couldn't guess what the King of Chu was thinking.

Just after Bai Hui lived in the Chu State Guest House as if he was under house arrest for more than 20 days.

Suddenly, the state of Chu sent palace guards.

Because there are messengers from Qin, with letters from the King of Qin to the King of Chu, a letter from Wei Ran, the right minister of Qin, and a scepter, a letter of state, and a belt for Bai Hui......

After Bai Hui put on the clothes sent by the messenger, the palace guards of the Chu State escorted him into the royal court.

On the way, Bai Hui asked the messenger: "This brother, the king didn't explain anything?" ”

"I'm begging for peace, you really have lost your soul, and your brother's home is a stone's throw away from my house."

After introducing himself, Xi Qihe said again: "You asked about it just now, and I answered you." The king didn't explain, he only said that the siege of Hangu Pass was already a great achievement, only a few cities, some jewels and goods were not enough to consider, let you make your own decisions, as long as the state of Chu agreed to welcome back the old king of Chu, it would be a great achievement for your brothers. ”

Bai Hui opened his mouth wide and nodded: "Ah, it turns out that we are neighbors." ”

Xi Qihe was speechless, just nodded silently.

After entering the palace of the king of Chu, Xi Qihe first sent three letters, which were from Ye Yang, the queen of Qin, that is, the princess Yeyang of Chu, as well as the letter from the old king of Chu and the letter written by the king of Qin.

Princess Yeyang said that it was very necessary for Qin Chu to repair.

However, the old king of Chu decided that if the Qin State did not sincerely form an alliance this time and could not show sincerity, he would not go back. If the Qin State is full of sincerity, then the old King of Chu will announce to the world that he will go to the old capital to retire, and let the old nobles support some changes of the little Chu king.

As for King Qin's letter, it was purely to prove Bai Hui's identity, Qin's willingness to befriend Chu State, and a few kind words.

What really matters is the two letters from Ye Yang, the princess of Chu and the queen of Qin, and the old king of Chu.

As for these two letters, it is not so much that Bai Hui and Chu are negotiating, but that the road has been paved above the court of Qin State, as long as Bai Hui does not walk around, he will not be wrong, and he will not lose.

Bai Hui had been brewing on the road for a long time, thinking of his poor crossing, thinking of the money he still had in his bank card, and thinking of the new game console that he had just started and had not had time to use.

The more I think about it, the sadder I become.

After entering the palace and seeing the King of Chu, Bai Hui was already in tears.

The King of Chu asked with concern: "Why did the Qin envoy cry. ”

Bai Hui wiped his tears and said: "Chu is good, these days I have seen the people of Chu have enough food and clothing, I have seen the people of Chu live and work in peace and contentment, and I have seen Chu country's ceremonial music and singing. Thinking that my Qin country is in a remote place, and thinking that the people of my Qin country have no clothes to cover the sky and food, I am sad in my heart, so I cry. ”

The king of Chu was stunned at first, but he liked Bai Hui's words very much, and then saw Bai Hui's sad crying and commanded:

"Come on, give Qin 5,000 stone of food."

Bai Hui was instantly stunned, such a big deal, five thousand stone grain, Bai Hui said in his heart that these grains were enough for him to eat for a hundred years.

The king of Chu also asked: "What kind of food does the Qin envoy like?" ”

Bai Hui came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, when the foreign minister was in the royal capital, he heard the fire and water rake, and he was very curious. Reward the King. ”

"Okay."

Fire cultivation and water raking is the pride of the Chu State, that is, set fire to the grass, and then plant rice, and then the grass grows with the rice, and when it grows to a few inches high, then put water to irrigate, the grass dies and the rice grows.

The Qin people had never eaten rice at all, which was a grain unique to the Chu State.

The grain production of Chu is amazingly high, because Chu has the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River.

gave the reward, and then the king of Chu asked: "Qin envoy, you have to show sincerity, last time I heard that Qin wants to buy a large number of materials, then you tell the ministers of Chu State, how do you Qin buy it, and how much do you buy?" ”
