Su Qin had heard of the conservative traditions and strange customs of the Chu State, and after seeing Jing Chi, he judged from his surname that this person was born in the Jing family, a nobleman of the Chu State, and felt that he could knock on the door of the officialdom of the Chu State with the help of him. He had already made up his mind, so he thought of a way to approach Jingchi.

Who coincidentally, within three days of Jingchi, he took the initiative to visit. This morning, Su Qin was processing paperwork in the house, and suddenly heard that Jing Chi was visiting, he was very happy, and hurriedly ordered the door to invite Jing Chi to his room.

Su Qin greeted Jing Chi at the door of the house and saw that he was wearing the costume of the Chu people, with a wide robe and a long crown. In addition, Jing Chi himself is a thin and tall person, which makes him even more eye-catching, like a bamboo pole with a wide robe.

When Jing Chi saw Su Qin, he also bowed down and hugged his fist like the Central Plains people, Su Qin also bowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I don't want Dr. Jing to visit, it's a loss of welcome, a faux pas, a faux pas." Please come inside. ”

Jing Chi's thin face also squeezed out a smile, the wrinkles on his face were very deep and dense, and he also said in a dumb voice: "I intend to make friends with Prime Minister Su Cheng in the morning, and it is a great honor to be received by Prime Minister Su Cheng." ”

Su Qin immediately let Jing Chi into the house, and the two sat down separately. Su Qin asked, "Doctor Jing must have given Su Qin a lesson when he came, I don't know why." ”

Jing Chi cleared his throat and replied: "How dare you say that you are not talented, Prime Minister Su has traveled around the world, and he has won the position of prime minister everywhere he goes, and he is really a great talent in the world, and a hero admired by everyone." ”

Su Qin smiled and said, "Don't dare to be, it's just some false names added by the world." ”

Su Qin knew that the more famous he was, the more he should be modest, and he could eliminate a lot of resistance, but when he was young, he didn't understand this truth, and a lot of unnecessary troubles originated from this. As I get older, I understand this truth more and more. This experience has nothing to do with the ideal of the heart, and can be reduced to a simple communication skill.

Jing Chi is a nobleman of the Chu State, he naturally cares very much about the words and deeds of a big man like Su Qin, who has risen from a commoner, and after talking for less than a quarter of an hour, he found that Su Qin was thoughtful, pleasant, and modest, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Su Qin.

Jing Chixin said: "People say that Su Qin is a dissolute and unruly person who does not abide by etiquette and law, but when you communicate today, it is not what people say. It seems to be really terrifying. ”

Where does Jing Chi know that this is the ultimate experience, after becoming famous, Su Qin, he was not like this a few years ago, and he was even more reckless at that time. Jing Chi saw that Su Qin could be in a relationship, and only then did he say his intention.

He said bluntly: "I came to visit Prime Minister Su Cheng this time, because of the secret order of our king, I wonder if Prime Minister Su Cheng has the intention to travel to Chu State?" If you can go, our king is willing to stay as a guest. ”

Su Qin said "um", he didn't answer immediately, and thought: "It turns out that I still want to take the initiative to find Jing Chi, but I didn't expect Jing Chi to bring the invitation of the King of Chu. ”

Su Qin thought about how to answer Jing Chi, his identity at this time was the state minister of the four countries, and he was too eager to agree immediately, wouldn't it seem too unreserved, and it also made the Chu State look contemptuous.

Moreover, at this time, the message from the king of Chu was to invite him to travel to the Chu State, not to discuss the matter of joining the alliance. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the state of Chu has proclaimed itself king, and for four or five hundred years it has dominated the south, and it is so arrogant that it is so arrogant that it can easily succumb to their superiority.

Su Qin then replied vaguely: "I heard that the mountains and rivers of the Chu State are magnificent and colorful, and the territory is thousands of miles, and I admire it very much in my heart, and of course I am very willing to visit the Chu State." ”

Su Qin's words did not mention the matter of Chu joining the Alliance, as if he was just going to Chu to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which was pleasing to the eye. In fact, whether it is Su Qin or Jing Chi, which of them doesn't know what the other party's intentions are?

The so-called travel to the Chu State of course implies the implication of persuading the Chu State to join the alliance, but neither Su Qin nor Jing Chi, the representative of the King of Chu, is willing to say it explicitly.

The first to speak clearly said that his side was eager to reach a joint column, but in fact, the Chu State had obviously seen the advantages of the combined column, and Su Qin also guessed that the Chu State was hesitating.

Just as Su Qin and Jing Chi were hiding their heads and talking in circles, Su Qin suddenly thought of a brilliant idea in his heart.

He thought to himself: "Since the state of Chu is still in the midst of wandering, I can just send Zhang Yi's junior brother into Chu first to take the initiative to contact and lobby." ”

"First, so as not to show your hole cards too early, and secondly, to give Zhang Yi a chance. Zhang Yi has always opened up a new country after himself, so he didn't win a phase, and now there is a ready-made Chu country, waiting for him to show his eloquence. ”

Thinking of this, Su Qin took the initiative to say to Jing Chi: "The battle of Anyi has just ended, and my entourage is still in the process of adjustment, I'm afraid they can't leave for Chu State immediately." ”

When Jing Chi heard Su Qin's words, he felt that he was going to refuse the invitation of the King of Chu, and he was very anxious, because the King of Chu sent him a secret order, which was clearly to invite Su Qin, a popular man in the world, to enter Chu.

Jing Chi couldn't help frowning, and said: "Prime Minister Su Cheng has just experienced a battle of life and death, and we know your tiredness, but out of a warm welcome, we in the Chu State still ask Prime Minister Su Cheng to think about it again." ”

Su Qin only said his true intention at this time, he said: "I feel very honored to be invited by the King of Chu, but it is indeed too hasty to leave immediately, I have a safe way here, I don't know if Doctor Jing is willing to listen to it." ”

Seeing that the matter of the invitation had taken a turn for the better, Jing Chi hurriedly asked: "Of course I would like to hear the details, please ask Prime Minister Su to tell me." ”

Su Qin then said: "Although the team I led cannot leave immediately, it is also a good idea for me to send someone to contact Chu State on behalf of the allies of Hezong first, and familiarize myself with the situation of Chu State." ”

When Jing Chi heard this, he thought for a while, nodded, and replied: "Since it is inconvenient for Prime Minister Su Cheng to leave for Chu immediately, it makes sense to take the workaround you proposed just now." It's just that I don't know if Prime Minister Su has any candidates in his heart to enter Chu in advance. ”

Su Qin was very happy to hear that Jing Chi had agreed to the method he proposed, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The people we send will not disappoint the king of your country. This person is my junior brother Zhang Yi, who also came out of the door of Mr. Guigu, and is really a rare talent in the world. ”

Su Qin solemnly recommended his junior brother Zhang Yi to Jing Chi, precisely to attract the attention of the other party, on the one hand, it could prove the sincerity of the allies, and also pave the way for Zhang Yi to enter Chu.

Sure enough, after Jing Chi heard Zhang Yi's name, he was relieved, he felt that with Zhang Yi's reputation, it was reasonable to be a pioneer, so he said: "Mr. Zhang Yi is also a famous hero at that time, he can be the first to enter Chu, and we are very welcome." ”

Su Qin was very happy when he saw that the matter of arranging for Zhang Yi's junior brother to take the lead in Chu was basically negotiated, and he agreed with Jing Chi on some details, and the two jointly decided that three days later, when Jing Chi returned to China, Zhang Yi would go with him.

The road of life is sometimes very smooth, like Su Qin's current situation, it can be said that he can have whatever he wants, and when Ji Lu is divided into Chu, Jingchi immediately appears in front of him. However, if you don't have the experience of going through a thousand difficulties and dangers, and going through the melancholy of a hundred turns and thousands of times, how can you cherish the hard-won good times.

What is more difficult in life is the persistence in the predicament, not only to endure hardships and poverty, but also to pay extra double of physical strength and energy, but it is also difficult to stick to that belief unwaveringly.

Whenever Su Qin thinks of the hardships of the past, compared with today's glory, he is quite moved by the difficulty of success, and he feels the dangerous situation when he is hanging from the beam and gritting his teeth and persevering. As long as he relaxed a little at that time, he was just a businessman in Luoyang City, even if his family was rich and rich, he was not as rich as he is today.

Zhang Yi and Su Qin were out of the dream mountain together, but the ghost made the god send, Zhang Yi accompanied the master of Guigu to Linzi in the Qi country, but Su Qin was taken to the Qin country and began the legendary journey of the westward journey, although it ended in failure, but he honed his will and accumulated a lot of experience, which became his precious spiritual wealth after he re-emerged from the mountain.

Now, Zhang Yi and himself on the road of life, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, Su Qin knows that Zhang Yi is not willing to live behind, the two are taught and studied together under the seat of Mr. Guigu, how can Su Qin not know the stubborn and strong character of his junior brother, although he looks a little wooden and modest on the outside, but there is still an unyielding flame burning in his heart.

Su Qin felt that entering Chu this time was a good opportunity for Zhang Yi's junior disciple to be given by God, if he could use it properly, he would not be able to obtain the position of Chu State Ling Yin, and then he could be regarded as getting a respected position under one person and above ten thousand people, and realized his dream in life.

Moreover, in the future, he and Zhang Yi will cooperate in the division of labor and join hands to resist Qin, and they will be each other's horns, and they will be able to give full play to the greatest power of the Alliance. Looking at today, the person who can have enough wisdom, strategy and talent to undertake this task is none other than Zhang Yi's junior brother.

Su Qin thought of this, so he recommended Zhang Yi to Chu with full sincerity. After he sent Jingchi away, he went to Zhang Yi in the afternoon and told him the news.

Zhang Yi also lived with Su Qin in the official residence of Wei, after all, he was appointed as the doctor of Wei and also set foot in the officialdom of Wei. When Su Qin went to look for Zhang Yi, he found that he was not in the house.

Su Qin was a little surprised, and asked about Zhang Yi's wife Yao Yue's movements, only to learn that since Zhang Yi's junior brother came to Daliang, he had a lot of contacts with some fellow villagers, because he was a native of Wei and was a minister in the same dynasty as his native people, and these exchanges were inevitable.
