Su Qin saw that there was an awkward silence in the chat between the two, so he changed the topic, and he said: "Prince Maodu is the son of Princess Yingqi, if he inherits the throne, wouldn't the monarch of Qin become related to King Yiqu, and the two families don't have to fight anymore, right?" ”

Wei Wei smiled bitterly, feeling that Su Qin was a little naïve. He said: "King Rong Yizhi may be afraid of this, so he will not officially marry Princess Yingqi. Just imagine, if a formal state ceremony is held, wouldn't Princess Yingqi want to be established as a princess, and wouldn't Maodu be established as a prince? ”

Su Qin was puzzled that Mao Dun could not inherit the throne, and hurriedly asked: "Mao Dun inherited the throne, Qin Jun Yingsi and Mao Dun are cousins. Since then, Qin and Yiqu have become a country of relatives and coexist peacefully, isn't it the best choice to solve the dispute between Qin and Yiqu in this way? ”

Wei Wei pondered for a moment and replied directly: "But have you thought about it?" The Yiqu people didn't want to be so close to the Qin State, if they didn't grab the grain of the Qin State, the Yiqu State would probably starve to death when there was a shortage of food in winter. ”

Su Qin didn't expect that there was such a complicated inside story, could it be that in order to maintain a certain distance, Princess Yingqi of Qin State could not become an official princess, and the son Mao Dun born to him could not inherit the throne? Could it be that the final result of the two countries has to be to meet each other with swords and fight to the death?

Su Qin was full of emotion, and remembered the gossip of the Central Plains people, they all said that the princess of the Qin State had an affair with the king of Yiqu Rong and was willing to be a leather girl for the Hu people, but didn't it mean that Princess Yingqi was not able to officially marry the king of Yiqu?

No name and no point, in the eyes of scholars in various Chinese countries, it is no different from fornication!

Su Qin said regretfully: "The most pitiful thing is Princess Yingqi, who was laughed at by the Chinese people, she tried hard to correct her name, but in the end it was an empty dream. ”

Su Qin said, very sympathetic to Yingqilai, thinking that she was a princess, going to a wild place, enduring humiliation, but her reputation was notorious, Su Qin's eyes were a little moist.

Wei Wei looked at Su Qin's expression, and said in his heart: "This kid is really a lover, everything else is good, but the feelings are too rich." However, Wei Wei still said some words to explain Su Qin, and after that, the two went to sleep separately.

On the second day after arriving in Yiqu State, Wei Wei dressed up in the morning, took the personnel of the Qin State Mission, carried the gift given to the King of Yiqu by Qin Jun Yingsi, and officially met with King Yizhi of Rong with a national gift. King Rong also set up a grand ceremony to receive him accordingly, and led the ministers of Yiqu to wait for the envoys of Qin in the royal court.

Su Qin himself was not a native of the Qin State, nor was he a member of the mission. Because he felt too much last night, after getting up in the morning, he was also depressed, so he asked Wei Wei for leave. Wei Wei was really not in the mood to see him, and he didn't force him.

After Wei Wei and the others went to participate in the ceremony of communication between the two countries, Su Qin came out of the felt bag and walked alone in the camp of the king of Yiqu.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered the mysterious carriage, and he didn't know where the road was parked now, and the people in the carriage didn't know where they were. While everyone is going to the royal court to watch the ceremony, why don't you look around? There may be an unexpected discovery.

After Su Qin made up his mind, he pretended to wander around and searched the camp.

At first he found nothing, but when he turned deeper into the terrace where the royal court was located, he found that the carriage was parked in a low group of felt bags behind the royal court.

Su Qin was overjoyed, but he also secretly regretted that he only cared about observing in front and forgot to go to the back of the royal court to take a look, and as a result, he wasted a lot of time.

Su Qin quietly approached the carriage, it happened to be at the door of a felt bag, that felt bag was no different from the felt bag of ordinary people in Yiqu that he saw every day, it was also surrounded by white felt, and there was a dome covered with cattails. But the door to the felt bag was closed.

Su Qin lowered his body, paying attention to the movements around him, and touched the felt bag. He already has some experience, and he knows that because the felt bags are all improvised, they are very sloppy, and there will always be gaps behind the felt bags. So, I went straight to the back of the felt bag.

The closer he got to the felt bag, the more careful Su Qin became, and he silently put his eyes on a gap and looked inside.

Su Qin really found that there were two people in the felt bag, one was Huo Xuan, and the other was a lean old man who was tied up, Su Qin had never seen him, could it be that he was the person who was hiding in the carriage that King Rong and Huo Xuan talked about?

Su Qin held his breath and listened to the person in the felt bag, and he heard Huo Xuan say, "Old Mr. Shi Chang is angry, and let me finish speaking." ……”

The old man named Shi Chang was furious, and didn't let Huo Xuan continue at all, interrupting Huo Xuan's words unceremoniously, and scolded:

"I see that you are also a descendant of China, if you have milk, you are a mother, you recognize the Yiqu people as your parents, and do some things that hurt nature and reason."

He scolded, turned his head to the other side, and threw his back to Huo Xuan, looking disdainful.

Huo Xuan was not angry, he still smiled, and said: "Why are you so troubled, although we forcibly invited your old man to Yiqu Country, it is also because you have repeatedly rejected our kindness." As long as you help us mine the purple marble and smelt the best treasure knife, we will definitely send your old man back to Qin unscathed, and give you ten catties of gold as a reward. ”

When Su Qin heard ten catties of gold, he thought: "This is a huge amount, gold is very rare, and a large family with ten catties of gold will not be able to spend it in a few lifetimes." ”

Unexpectedly, the old man was unmoved, and continued to scold: "No matter how much gold you have in Yiqu Country, I am not rare. Let me forge a sword for you, and you don't even think about it. You don't want to think about what virtues your family has accumulated in your previous life, worthy of the sword forged from purple marble. ”

Huo Xuan listened to the old man, not only did not agree, but also scolded endlessly. A cloud began to grow on his face, but his tone still tried to soften, and then he persuaded again: "If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your children and grandchildren, ten catties of gold is not a small amount." ”

The old man simply closed his eyes tightly, pursed his lips, and stopped talking nonsense with Huo Xuan for a long time. He never looked back, and kept glaring at the top of the felt bag in anger.

Su Qin listened attentively to the conversation between Huo Xuan and the old man, for fear of missing a word, and he gradually understood the truth of the matter:

It turned out that Huo Xuan forcibly kidnapped the smelting and forging master named Shi Chang and asked him to use the rare purple cloud stone to create a treasure knife for the Yiqu Kingdom.

However, Shi Chang is a person with backbone, and the stronger he is, the more he is dissatisfied, and he puts on a posture of preferring death to an unyielding position. Su Qin secretly admired Shi Chang's majestic and inviolable character.

He thought about how to save Mr. Shi Chang. Just as his head was racing and he was meditating, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and then he became paralyzed, and he shouted, "It's not good, it's a plot,......。 ”

Before he finished speaking, Su Qin's body had already fallen down like a mustard in a gale.
