"What?"

"King, the last general doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......" Ma Ba looked at Tian Ziyun and Shen He, and seemed to have to make a lot of determination to say the rest of the words.

"What the hell is going on?!" King Qi was furious.

"King!" Ma Ba suddenly fell to the ground and said in a loud voice: "The last general caught an envoy of the Chu State outside the city, it seems that ...... It seems to have been sent by the King of Chu! ”

"What?!" This time it was Tian Ziyun and Shen He's turn to be taken aback.

"The king of Chu, colluding with the Yan people to attack my city, even dared to send envoys over?" The king of Qi was furious, pointed in the direction of Chu State, and scolded angrily: "Come on, divide the body of the messenger's five horses and hang them on the city gate!" ”

Tian Fazhang and Ma Ba were taken aback, and the latter hurriedly said: "King, the envoy of the Chu State has a letter and ultimatum from the King of Chu on him, do you want to summon him in to meet him?" ”

"Yes, Father." Tian Fazhang hurriedly interjected, "The King of Chu sent an envoy over, could it be something important?" ”

"Hmph, what else could there be? The king of Chu killed me three thousand warriors, what is it that this king kills one of his envoys? ”

King Qi was short-tempered and was about to order someone to kill the people of Chu, when Long Yangjun walked out and suddenly said: "King, the slave family thinks that since that person has a letter from the king of Chu, it is better to see him, and see what the king of Chu says, and it is not too late to kill him." ”

This Long Yangjun behaved, his demeanor was stunning, and he couldn't say that he was good-looking, and he looked at King Qi's eyes straight: "Ahem...... Since even Aiqing said so, hmph, this king will let him live a little longer for the time being, come here, bring the Chu people in! ”

"Yes!" Ma Ba's face flashed with joy and he took the order.

Tian Ziyun and Shen He glanced at each other, only to feel that their heads were as big as a bucket, and they didn't know how a messenger from the Chu State could come out for no reason?

Moreover, the timing of the appearance of this envoy of the Chu State was too coincidental, but it came when King Qi had just finished saying that he was going to reward him and Shen He?

Soon, Ma Ba had already returned with the envoy of the State of Chu.

To Tian Ziyun's surprise, the person who came was indeed a Chu person.

The state of Chu is located in the southern part of the Central Plains, and the customs are biased, and the Chu people like to wear hair and feather animal ornaments. Although this envoy of the Chu State was dressed formally, the style of the Chu people could still be seen from some details.

The envoy of the State of Chu was about thirty years old, named Zhou Qin, with a long body and a pair of triangular eyes, and looked very shrewd.

Zhou Qingang handed over the ententum to King Qi, his eyes swept in the hall, fixed on Tian Ziyun, suddenly shook violently, pointed at Tian Ziyun, and said angrily: "Okay, you Tian Ziyun, the king of my family treats you well, but you hold a grudge, attack the prince, and flee without permission!" The king of my family will not kill you, and he will not be a man! ”

"What?!"

As soon as Zhou Qin's words came out, it was like dropping a bomb in the main hall, which made everyone's nerves straighten.

Wasn't Xiong Yi, the crown prince of Chu State, killed by Tian Ziyun because he ambushed Tian Ziyun? How could it be that Tian Ziyun attacked the prince and fled without permission?

How could this envoy of the Chu State be completely opposite to what Tian Ziyun said?

"Bastard, what are you talking nonsense!" Shen He said angrily.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qin was even angrier than Shen He that day, and immediately burst into a rage: "Yes, there is still you, you are called Shen He, right?" You accomplice, my prince also died because of you, I can't wait to break your body into thousands of pieces! ”

This time, everyone was even more surprised, this envoy of the Chu State recognized Tian Ziyun and Shen He successively, presumably not fooling around.

Shen He glanced at Tian Ziyun suspiciously, and the surprise in the latter's heart was no less than Shen He.

Who is this Chu man, and how could he say this?

When Tian Ziyun was in doubt, the ceremonial supervisor who checked the encyclical document had already handed the document to the King of Qi, which showed that the identity of the envoy of the State of Chu was already convinced.

This week Qin is about to attack again, and King Qi has already said angrily:

"Zhou Qin, you are so bold, rush to the king's palace and talk nonsense, believe it or not, the king will kill you now!"

King Qi was obviously also angered by Zhou Qin's reaction, but after he read the paperwork, his face changed several times one after another, and only then did he suppress the urge to kill.

"The king wronged me, how can Zhou Qin have nonsense!" Zhou Qin's face was like turning a book, and he changed as soon as he turned the page, and he had already changed his calm appearance: "Dare to ask the king, have you read the paperwork?" ”

King Qi did not speak.

Of course, Zhou Qin knew that King Qi had already seen it, he raised his face, and asked again: "That villain dares to ask the king, what my King of Chu meant in the letter, but it is the same as what I just said?" ”

King Qi didn't speak, his face was gloomy, his eyes were like knives, and he glanced at Tian Ziyun fiercely.

Seeing Tian Ziyun like falling into an ice cave, a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The corners of Zhou Qin's mouth smiled secretly, a pair of triangular eyes looked at the king of Qi, and said loudly: "My king of Chu wants to ask the king, Tian Ziyun is unkind, killed my prince of Chu, and fled back to Qi without permission, what does the king think should be done?" ”

King Qi did not answer, but his face was gloomy, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he grabbed a roll of bamboo slips and rattled.

Everyone looked at Tian Ziyun with surprised eyes, and King Qi's reaction confirmed what Zhou Qin said.

Could it be that even the king of Chu thought that Tian Ziyun killed Xiong Yi, so he sent a messenger to ask for the crime?

What Tian Ziyun said is not true.

If this is the case, then this matter is terrible, and it is even related to the rise and fall of the Qi State.

Everyone looked at Tian Ziyun with their own hearts.

Tian Ziyun and Shen He's hearts were even more turbulent, what they had experienced, didn't they know yet?

This Zhou Qin is obviously full of nonsense, but what he said is true, whether it is an ultimatum document or this person's words and deeds, it is like the truth.

What the hell is going on?

"You fake, Hugh is here to bewitch the public!" Shen He couldn't bear it anymore, strode forward, dragged Zhou Qin's chest and said, "Say, who sent you!" ”

"Don't ...... Let go of ...... Let go of me! Zhou Qin's face was flushed, his hands and feet kicked wildly, and he almost lost his breath.

"Shen He, what are you doing?!" Ma Ba was taken aback, pulled out the two giant axes on his waist, and rushed towards Shen He.

"Shen He, dare you want to rebel, let him go! Someone! Tian Fazhang also reacted, and immediately shouted the Praetorian Guard.

These Praetorian Guards did not have the order of the King of Qi, so they did not dare to let this Chu person have any accidents, and immediately surrounded Shen He.

Shen He knew that he was a little impulsive, snorted coldly, threw Zhou Qin out, and collided with Ma Ba.

Zhou Qin was so startled by Shen He, he was already panicking, shrunk to the ground and gasped for breath, a pair of triangular eyes like frightened mice, all the grass and trees.

"Lord Zhou, don't panic, Lord Zhou is the envoy of the Chu State, with us here, you will definitely not be harmed." Tian Fazhang stepped forward and patted Zhou Qin's shoulder and said.

Tian Ziyun saw Tian Fazhang secretly handing over his eyes to Zhou Qin, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.

"This man must have a ghost!"

But there is no flaw in this person's identity, how to expose him?

Tian Ziyun looked at the ultimatum and the book, and then looked at everyone present, but couldn't find any place to start.

At this time, Tian Fazhang had already jumped out to accuse Shen He, "Shen He, do you still think that you are not causing enough trouble?" Is it not enough to kill the prince of Chu, but also to kill the envoy of Chu? ”

But Tian Fazhang's last sentence accidentally stepped on the tail of the King of Qi, because it was the King of Qi who first wanted to kill the envoy of the Chu State.

King Qi ignored Tian Fazhang, but snorted heavily, and said, "Zhou Qin, if this king doesn't do what King Chu says, what should he do?" ”

Zhou Qin got up from the ground, patted his buttocks, and straightened his clothes, but after such a fuss, it seemed that he no longer had the aggressive momentum just now: "King, the king of my family Chu sent contemptible people over, which has the intention of resolving hatred, and I hope that the king can deal with it impartially." Otherwise, our country's General Naoya has already led his troops on the way here, and when the two countries meet each other, I am afraid that it will not end well. ”

"How dare you threaten this king?" King Qi gritted his teeth and uttered a few words, but when he heard General Naoya, he was also shocked in his heart.

He still had a little doubt about this envoy of the Chu State before, but since the other party could call out the name of the leading general, there was no doubt that this person must have been sent by the King of Chu.

"Don't dare, the villain is just passing on the meaning of the King of Chu, not to mention, since the villain is here, the two countries of Qi and Chu have not yet reached the point of being negotiable."

When King Qi heard this, his face softened a little, waved his hand, and said, "The meaning of King Chu, this king knows." Lord Zhou will stay in the city for the time being, and when he has thought about it, he will inform Lord Zhou. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." If Zhou Qin was pardoned, he immediately bowed his head and bowed respectfully.

"Come on, take Mr. Zhou down." King Qi waved his sleeves, and immediately several attendants went down with Zhou Qin.

After Zhou Qin left, the hall was so quiet that it was audible to hear the needles falling, and everyone was silent, leaving only the heavy gasps of King Qi.

Although everyone had not read the letter of the King of Chu, almost everyone could guess that the meaning of the letter of the King of Chu must be to let the King of Qi send Tian Ziyun back to the State of Chu to avenge the hatred of killing his son.

"Brother Shen, that Chu person is a fake."

Tian Ziyun met Tian Fazhang's gaze, saw the sneer in the other party's eyes, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Of course, Shen He knew that the Chu people were fake, but the words and deeds of this Chu people were flawless, and even Shen He didn't know what was wrong.

"It's not without its flaws." Tian Ziyun said in a low voice: "Before that person left, his attitude towards King Qi was too respectful, and it was definitely not like what a normal envoy would show. ”

Shen He thought of the three kowtows that Zhou Qin had before leaving, and couldn't help frowning, if Zhou Qin was really the envoy of the Chu State, how could he make such a big gift to the King of Qi?

The envoys of the Warring States period, who represented the country, valued the most equal status of diplomatic relations.

Back then, Yan Zi made Chu, and in order to maintain the dignity of the Qi State, he almost did it against the King of Chu.

And this Zhou Qin seems to care about the loss of identity, just this point, Zhou Qin can't be the envoy of the Chu State.

Shen He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Qin's approach was full of flaws, but at that time, everyone was frightened by Zhou Qin's momentum, focusing on the "shocking facts" that Zhou Qin said, how could anyone go back and doubt Zhou Qin's identity.

What's more, none of the celebrants doubted Zhou Qin's ultimatum, and everyone had a preconceived idea that Zhou Qin was really an envoy sent by the King of Chu.

Tian Ziyun also figured it out after Zhou Qin left, and looking at the relationship between him and Tian Fazhang, there must be something between the two.

It's just that it's too late now, and no one will believe it anymore to doubt Zhou Qin's identity at this time, and everyone only pays attention to one other thing.

Sure enough, I only heard a snap in the main hall, and the bamboo slips in the hands of the King of Chu had fallen to the ground and scattered all over the ground:

"Tian Ziyun, you are guilty!"
