King's Palace.

"Your Majesty, has someone asked to see you?" At this time, the monarch of the Kingdom of Qiu, Gong Ji, was communicating with the crown prince Yu Shifu about the current situation, and the chamberlain came in and said.

Someone asking to meet?

Under normal circumstances, the chamberlain will tell the other party's name completely when making a report, why did you say that this time?

Gong Yu looked at the attendant suspiciously, "Who wants to see?" ”

"It's the Qin man named Yingkang." Since Ying Kang has come to the Kingdom of Yu many times, and as long as he wants to marry Princess Ruoxi of the Kingdom of Qiu, this matter has already made the servants have seen enough of this son of the Qin people.

Yingkang?

When Gong Yu heard this, he was stunned, and looked at the prince Shi Shi without knowing what to do, "Why did he come, this is really a coincidence." ”

It turned out that the matter of the Qin people building a city in Guanzhong had already spread throughout the vassal states, and just now Duke Yu was still talking to Father Yu Shi about this matter, who knew that before the words fell, Ying Kang had already come to the Kingdom of Yu.

Of course, Father Yu Shi was also confused, "This guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, it seems that he is entangled with our country." What did he come to do? ”

The chamberlain shook his head, "The servant doesn't know. Then the chamberlain looked at Gong Yu, "Do you see it or not?" ”

"No, no, no, there must be no good thing for him to come to the Kingdom of Yu at this time, what is the monarch doing when he sees him?" Without waiting for Gong Yu's order, Father Yu Shi said angrily.

The chamberlain did not leave, but continued to look at Gong Yu, waiting for his answer.

Yu Gong was silent and did not answer.

Since Gong Yu didn't answer, of course the waiter couldn't leave, so he waited quietly at the door.

After a while, Father Shi said, "Father Shi, tell me what Sima Yingkang of the Qin people is doing when he comes to our Kingdom at this time?" ”

"The child doesn't know the specific thing, but the child guesses that his arrival is nothing more than two points, one is that it is already winter, and his arrival may be related to the Rongdi invasion."

"Well---, there's some truth to what you're saying." Justice.

"The other is that their Qin people have already built a city in Longchuan, and he will take the opportunity of the current agricultural slack to come to the country to propose marriage." Father Yu continued.

After listening to Father Yu Shi's words, Gong Yu shook his head slightly, "Now is not the time to propose marriage, although the Qin people have a city, but there are no facilities in the city, it is basically equivalent to a barracks, with such conditions, Yingkang will not propose to your sister." ”

"But we didn't tell him that we had to build a real city."

"Yingkang is a face-saving person, and he will not be so eager without being completely sure." Yu Gong said with certainty: "His arrival may really be related to the invasion of Rongdi. ”

"In that case, is it necessary for my father to see him?"

Yu Gong thought for a while and said, "It's good to see you again." ”

Father actually wants to see Yingkang?

Father Yu Shi was a little anxious when he heard this, "Father, the eastward expansion of the Qin people may not be a good thing for my country, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to let Feng Rong destroy them when Rong Di is going south, and by the way, my sister will not have to marry that barbaric Qin man Yingkang." What's the point of seeing him at this time? ”

To put it bluntly, from the back of his heart, of course Duke Yu was unwilling to marry his daughter Princess Ruoxi to this Qin son named Ying Kang, but he always felt that this Qin son named Ying Kang had something that others did not have, and this kind of thing made him always have an urge to see him.

"Of course I understand what you said, but don't forget, Father Shi, Rong Di's southward movement is not only a threat to the Qin people, but also a great threat to our Yu country, and this time the Qin people's eastward advance may be able to completely solve our predicament in Weibei. Why don't I see it? ”

"But yet, the Qin people may also become a threat to us in the future! Even if they are still very weak at the moment and there is no threat to the Kingdom of Qiu, who can guarantee that they will not become bigger and stronger in the future? Besides, I don't agree to marry my sister Ruoxi to that barbarian Qin man who has no identity and status. Father Yu Shi suddenly expressed all his dissatisfaction with the Qin people in his heart.

Gong Yu knew that for this matter, the father and son had quarreled no longer knowing how many times. Now that Ying Kang is outside the door, Gong Yu doesn't want to quarrel with Father Yu Shi anymore, so he said angrily: "Okay, this matter is over, let's not quarrel anymore." ”

Then Gong Yu said to the inner attendant: "It is rumored that the Qin army Sima Yingkang will meet in the hall." ”

"No---"

After a while, Ying Kang took Zhao Boyu into the palace of the kingdom of Qiu.

"Foreign Minister Yingkang visited Duke Yu and met the prince." After seeing Yu Gong and Yu Shi's father, Ying Kang bowed.

"Hmm---" Father Yu Shi ignored him, and he could be regarded as having met.

Seeing this, Gong Yu said to Yingkang and Zhao Boyuan: "Hurry up, I don't know what the two of you have to do when you come to the Kingdom of Qiu?" ”

After Ying Kang and Zhao Boyu got up, Ying Kang said: "Ying Kang really has something important to discuss when he comes this time. ”

"Please."

"Gong Yu, it's winter at this time. According to tradition, Rong Di will go south for the winter at this time of year. ”

"This is true, Rong Di does have to go south every year to spend the winter. I wonder what Sima meant? Please also explain. Of course, Gong Yu knew Rong Di's living habits, so he said to Ying Kang.

People actually call themselves "Sima"? Ying Kang smiled, of course he understood the meaning of the official words, so he said, "Since Duke Yu knows Rong Di's living habits, I wonder if Duke Yu can know that the Qin people have built a city in Longchuan?" ”

After hearing this, Yu Gongji pretended to be surprised and asked, "The Qin people have already built a city in Longchuan?" How did I not know about this, when did this happen? ”

Feign?

Just put it down!

Ying Kang thought to himself. But after thinking about it, he still couldn't say it, after all, he still wanted to be someone's son-in-law, so he said: "Yu Gong, Yingkang is a man of his word, and he once said that if he wants to build a city in Guanzhong, he will definitely do it according to his promise." Now the Qin people have built a city along the Qianshui coast in the north of Guanzhong, and stationed soldiers and horses. ”

Ying Kang said this honestly and unhurriedly.

But the faces of Duke Yu and Father Yu Shi, who heard this, were a little unbearable, although Ying Kang did not say that this matter was related to marrying Princess Ruoxi, but the meaning of the words could not be clearer.

"Yingkang, don't sell Guanzi in front of us, even if you have a city in Guanzhong, I won't agree to marry my sister to you." Seeing this, Father Yu Shi said sharply to Ying Kang.

Ying Kang didn't speak, just looked at Gong Yu quietly, he knew that his words had embarrassed Gong Yu.

"What are you fierce, didn't you say that you would be willing to marry the princess to my son after he was in Guanzhong City? Why do you want to regret it now that we have a city? Seeing that Duke Yu and Ying Kang didn't speak, Zhao Boyu retorted to Father Yushi.

Yu Shi's paternal face was red and white, a small Qin army soldier dared to talk to him like this, what kind of face did he have? So he said angrily to Zhao Boyu: "You, you, what are you, you dare to talk to me like this." ”

Zhao Boyu is also a temperamental person, and when he saw that Father Yu Shi dared to scold him, he also said angrily: "What cattle do you have, if it wasn't for my son-in-law to bring me over, I wouldn't have come to your country rarely?" It's not uncommon for people like you to come. ”

Before the matter was discussed, the two of them quarreled together, and when Gong Yu saw this, he said sharply: "Shut up for me---"

After hearing this, Yu Shifu and Zhao Boyu looked at each other angrily and stopped arguing.
