After Su Qin met with the King of Chu Xiong Shang, on the fifth day, the state of Chu held a ceremony to worship Su Qin as Ling Yin, and what made Su Qin even happier was that at this time, Han Gu, the Marquis of Han, also sent an envoy to attend the ceremony and assist in this ceremony.

Of course, the king of Chu knew the intentions of Korea, the northern neighbor of Chu State, and they didn't see that the five countries in the east had all joined the alliance, so they were also anxious and sent someone to quickly contact Su Qin and ask him to allow Korea to join the alliance.

The king of Chu thought to himself: "Anyway, South Korea's accession to the alliance is a good thing for the growth of the alliance, and it is not harmful to my Chu country, so it is better to ignore it and just treat it as ignorance." ”

When Su Qin himself saw Shen Zhi, he immediately understood his intention, and after careful questioning, it was Han Hou who eagerly invited Su Qin to South Korea to discuss the matter of South Korea joining the alliance.

However, because Su Qin still had unfinished business in the Chu State, he could not immediately reply to declare a definite date for entering Korea. Shen Zhi did not give up, and he was never discouraged, he was in the upper house of Chu and Su Qin, waiting for Su Qin.

Su Qin was eagerly waiting for Zhang Yi's news, but Zhang Yi was like evaporating from the world, and there was no news for a long time. Su Qin didn't expect that in fact, Zhang Yi was hiding from him in the dark, because he still had to observe, wait and think.

Yao Yue urged Zhang Yi to appear as soon as possible and contact Su Qin several times, their entanglement has already bottomed out, and for more than a month, Yao Yue has been relying on going out to do odd jobs, helping people wash clothes, clean up, and earn a living.

Zhang Yi actually expected that Su Qin would eventually appear in the Chu State in person when he entrusted Jing Chi to send a letter to Su Qin. He thought: "Chu is a big country in the south, and if I haven't completed the task of persuading Chu to join the alliance, Senior Brother Su will naturally not give up." ”

Su Qin's movement into Chu was so big, from the time he first entered the border of Chu State, it had already spread in the streets and alleys of Chu State, and everyone was willing to observe what this strange person in the world looked like, he was so capable, and he wore the seal of many countries.

Therefore, on the day Su Qin entered Yingdu, the people in Yingdu City were as lively as a festival, and thousands of people went to watch Su Qin's convoy in empty alleys. However, Su Qin did not openly show his head as he did when he led his army to return to Wei Daliang, and people only saw the queue of the four countries envoys led by him.

Rao is like this, and its position also makes the citizens of Yingdu sigh, you must know that before Su Qin, he was just a small businessman in Luoyang, and the reversal of fate was so drastic that it had never been heard of for centuries.

Some old people sighed: "This is really a magical era, those ancient rules and shackles are being smashed more and more, and the big names who have risen in the folk have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain." Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? Who dared to think so before! ”

Su Qin hid in the carriage of the carriage, in order to get more peace. But how could he have imagined that in the crowd of onlookers watching the convoy of the four countries' missions, his junior brother Zhang Yi was standing.

The strong self-esteem in Zhang Yi's chest prompted him not to block Su Qin's carriage and cry with tears in his eyes, asking Senior Brother Su to avenge himself. Especially after experiencing this catastrophe, he understands that the success or failure of a husband depends on whether he has a backbone or not, and picking up people's teeth and wisdom will never become a big thing.

If Senior Brother Su considered the great cause of Hezong and did not actively avenge himself, why would he be reluctant. The matter of revenge must be operated by oneself, and it must be steady, accurate, and ruthless, otherwise, it will be a greater tragedy, and even a small life will be hanging, let alone success. And under one blow, if it can't be successful, it will be a laughing stock for thousands of years.

Zhang Yi watched Su Qin's convoy and said to himself in his heart: "Although I can't let the people of Chu greet me so grandly, I will also make the people of Chu hate me unforgettablely, especially those who were once arrogant and powerful, I am their gravedigger!" ”

Zhang Yi was closely watching the development of the situation, and he was still waiting for Su Qin's choice in his heart. If Su Qin could refuse the temptation of the Chu State, do everything possible to find himself, and then seek justice for himself, Zhang Yi might still choose to work together with Senior Brother Su to complete the great cause of cooperation.

But if things go in the opposite direction, Zhang Yi is determined to find a way out again.

Zhang Yi's wait was undoubtedly disappointed, and what he was waiting for was the ceremony of Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, to worship Su Qin as Ling Yin. When this news reached Zhang Yi's ears, Zhang Yi didn't feel too much surprise, he expected that this was Su Qin's natural choice, and it was the inevitable result of the development of the Alliance.

When Yao Yue also learned the news and ran back to describe it to Zhang Yi vividly, Zhang Yi didn't say anything, just smiled slightly. Yao Yue was anxious and said: "Hurry up and find Su Qin, he sent you to Chu State, you have suffered such a big disaster, how can you stop there, they should give you justice." ”

Zhang Yi replied simply: "I have my own measure, you don't have to worry about it." ”

From then on, he closed the door of his room, stayed at home, and stayed alone in the dark and simple inn room, silently meditating.

Yao Yue worked hard every day and brought back food for him, and he also ate a few bites at will, but he said very little, and after eating, he lay on the bed and slept alone.

Yao Yue saw that Zhang Yi was sluggish, and she was anxious, and persuaded him vigorously, asking him to open some more, and then the husband and wife went back to their hometown to farm, why bother staying in this rainy and damp place.

Zhang Yi looked at Yao Yue with fixed eyes, shook his head, and said that he would never listen to Yao Yue's persuasion and leave easily.

After many days like this, Yao Yue was so anxious that she was burning and her face was sad all day long. She was determined: If Zhang Yi was still sitting in the room so silently, she would go to Su Qin and ask Su Qin for help instead of Zhang Yi.

However, Zhang Yi himself suddenly relieved himself on the tenth day, he got up early in the morning and said to Yao Yue: "I'll go to work with you today, I've stayed idle long enough." ”

When Yao Yue heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and she finally saw her husband get out of the confusion. Yao Yue replied: "I'll go to wash other people's clothes, what is it for you to be a big man." After breakfast, go out and relax. ”

Zhang Yi didn't follow, she had to follow her to have a look, Yao Yue couldn't resist him, so she agreed to accompany him. The husband and wife had breakfast and went to Yao Yue's laundry place together.

Zhang Yi saw that beside a river that flowed through the city, forty or fifty stone benches were lined up, and a group of washerwomen, holding stone mallets in their hands, were vigorously pounding the dirty clothes taken out of the wooden basin.

Yao Yue washed clothes by the river almost all day, holding a mallet up and down, splashing her clothes, she didn't care about it at all, and still repeated the mechanical labor.

Zhang Yi's nose was sour, tears swirled in her eyes, and she almost fell. He went to help Yao Yue himself, but Yao Yue refused, she said: "A group of women work together, you are a man, it seems more eye-catching, or I will come alone." ”

Zhang Yi couldn't intervene, so he had to turn around and leave, and he walked towards the upper house in the west of the Yingdu City, where he had stayed. When she got there, Zhang Yi pretended to be an irrelevant passer-by and chatted with the porter in the upper house.

The concierge was bored, and there was just an idler like Zhang Yi talking about the weather, the harvest or something, and he was very happy, and the two of them became familiar with each other in less than half an hour.

After Zhang Yi got acquainted, he talked to the porter about the characters living in the upper house, and he said: "I heard that there is a strange person Su Qin who also wears the seal of the five countries lives here, I don't know if it is or not?" ”

The porter glanced around at no one, and said mysteriously: "But isn't it, Su Qin is too outstanding, and the monarchs of various countries today have to give him three points when they see him." However, this person also seems to be very easy-going and has no shelves. ”

When the porter talked about this, his face was full of pride, as if he could guard the door for such a magical person, and he was also very proud of it.

Zhang Yi also nodded vigorously, pretending to be very envious, and then he asked: "I don't know if this big man Su Qin is a Lingyin in the Chu State, if he can stay in the Chu State, then wouldn't there be no other princes who dare to bully the Chu State." ”

The porter glanced at Zhang Yi disdainfully, and thought, "How can you, an ordinary citizen who has no knowledge, know the thoughts of these big people in the Daoist family." ”

He raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "This kind of big man is very busy, how can he always stay in my country's Chu State, I heard that he is going to leave for South Korea the day after tomorrow, and there is a Korean envoy living here, waiting for him to go with him." ”

Zhang Yi said "oh", still pretending to have nothing, and said: "That's a pity, such a powerful big man can't stay." ”

At this point in the conversation, the porter probably felt that Zhang Yi was very ignorant, and it didn't make much sense to continue chatting, so he also turned his head and stopped looking at Zhang Yi, not wanting to continue the topic.

Zhang Yi also saw the porter's refusal, and he said: "Oh, today is a long experience." So saying, he turned and departed. The porter looked at Zhang Yi's back, pouted lightly, and dismissed.

That night, after Yao Yue returned to the inn, Zhang Yi said to her, "It's time for us to pack our bags and leave here." ”

Yao Yue couldn't wait to leave as soon as possible, she was very happy, and said, "That's great, I'm finally leaving this ghost place." ”

Zhang Yi said quietly: "I left Yingdu today, and I will come back one day." ”

When Yao Yue heard this, he was anxious and asked, "What are you doing when you come back, isn't it enough to suffer and suffer here?" ”

Zhang Yi showed a resentful look in his eyes, and he said word by word: "When I come back again, those Chu people may wish that I had never been to Chu in my life, and what they owe me will eventually be doubled." ”
