As soon as it got dark, Su Qin sneaked out of the Qin camp and touched the city of Quwo. He shot two short arrows in quick succession at the head of the city. The first arrow was tied with a token issued by Chen Xu, the chief general of the Wei army, and the second arrow was tied to a silk book, on which was written the words asking to see Chen Xu and his name.

The soldiers at the head of the city immediately found the short arrow shot from the city, and when they untied the first branch, they saw that it was the token of General Chen Xu, and the token was also painted with the special secret mark of the Wei army, the tail feathers of a rooster, indicating a particularly urgent meaning. looked at the name tag tied to the other arrow, and learned that the other party was Chen Xu's friend Su Qin.

The soldiers defending the city did not dare to be careless, and immediately sent men to report to Chen Xu on fast horses. Chen Xu heard that Su Qin was coming to see him, and he didn't know what happened to Su Qin, so he asked the person to go back to give an order, let Su Qin enter the city, and bring him to the mansion by the way.

After about half an hour, the drawbridge on the moat in front of Quwo City was lowered, the city gate was opened, Su Qin passed quickly, and the city gate was closed again.

When he arrived in the city, the soldiers led him a horse, and the soldier who reported the news led the way in front, and Su Qin straddled the horse and followed him to Chen Xufu.

Since the last victory of the Wei army, Chen Xu was not as respectful to Su Qin as before, he defeated the Qin army, and he believed that he had the inside story of the discord between the main general and the deputy general of the Qin army, and he also received a secret report from the king of Wei the day before yesterday, which said: The originally tense situation of Wei, Zhao and the border of Wei and Han was settled down because of the withdrawal of Zhao and Han, so that he could defend the city with peace of mind.

All kinds of good momentum made Chen Xu a little fluttering, thinking that the crisis had passed and there was no need to worry too much.

This time Su Qin came to Quwo City, Chen Xu did not answer in person, and only asked the soldiers to bring them to the mansion. When Su Qin arrived at the mansion, Chen Xu did not arrive at the gate of the mansion to greet him, but only sent Steward Shen to wait at the door.

Seeing this scene, Su Qin felt a little unhappy in his heart, and thought: "Chen Xu is undoubtedly a good person, but he also likes to play tricks, he is really cunning enough." ”

He could also guess a thing or two about Chen Xu's psychology at this time, and he had the heart to scare him again: "The matter has come to this, you Chen need to be ambitious, so put up a shelf." I've got to figure out a way to get you back on track. ”

Thinking of this, Su Qin raised his head and swaggered with Steward Shen to Chen Xu's study. Chen Xu saw Su Qin and invited him to sit down, but Su Qin did not return the salute, and went straight to the table and sat down without speaking first.

Chen Xu thought that Su Qin had not made an appointment in advance this time, and when he suddenly came to see him, he must have asked for himself, so he was sluggish. Unexpectedly, Su Qin was very arrogant, with a swaggering demeanor, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that the situation has changed again?" ”

Su Qin put on an arrogant demeanor, but Chen Xu was more careful, he said with a smile: "Brother Su suddenly came to visit tonight, Chen Xu couldn't meet him from afar because of official business, and he begged for forgiveness. I wonder if you have any good news to tell you this time? ”

Su Qin squinted at Chen Xu, and felt angry in his heart: "Is it only by giving you Chen Xu a little color, do you know that Lu Dao still needs me Su Qin." ”

He had a calculation in his chest, and said, "Congratulations to General Chen, the withdrawal of the Qin army is hopeful." However, General Wei Wei was still a little worried. He had to see his children before he withdrew. If Wei does not allow it, Wei Wei will personally lead troops to pick up people. ”

When Chen Xu heard this, he was shocked, Wei Wei used the essence of the army, and the Wei people knew very well that he was going to attack the city in person, and Quwo City would be hanging. Previously, Quwo City was preserved, thanks to Wei Wei's reluctance to really fight.

Chen Xu thought to himself: "I'd better hand over the person to him in a down-to-earth manner, so as not to cause trouble again." ”

Thinking of this, he said: "General Wei Wei is too worried, how can I, Chen Xu, be a person who goes back on his word, and what I promised will definitely be done." However, can General Wei Wei guarantee an immediate withdrawal of troops? ”

Su Qin tightened his cold face, looked at Chen Xu, and said word by word: "General Wei Wei is not a man who breaks his word, if he really wants to capture Quwo, why bother so much." Besides, when he saw his children, it was too late to rejoice and be grateful, so how could he come again to attack the city? ”

Chen Xu thought carefully: "It's also the truth, Wei Wei has already seen his own flesh and blood, so why bother asking for trouble again." He happily agreed to send Wei Jia's sister and brother out of Quwo first.

Su Qin brought up the original verbal agreement again: in order to hide people's eyes, they would buy the entire music and dance class in Chen Xu's mansion and take it away, otherwise Gongsun Yan and the others would be suspicious when they found out that there were two more young people around Wei Wei out of thin air?

After hearing this, Chen Xu was very reluctant and shook his head in disapproval. Su Qin said: "The two of us had a word in advance, saying that we would buy the entire music and dance class. ”

Chen Xu shook his head vigorously again and insisted on denying it. The two of them then stalemate again.

Su Qin saw that he couldn't talk about anything, and he was about to leave, but Chen Xu stepped forward to stop him, and said with a smile: "Why should Mr. Su be angry, I am not reluctant, but the music and dance classes in the house have been raised for many years, and they are all used to the life of the Wei State, and now they are sent to the Qin State, they themselves are unwilling, and they are forcibly taken away, I am afraid it is not a good thing for Wei Wei and Mr. Su." ”

Su Qin listened, thought about it, and felt that what Chen Xu said was not unreasonable. If you force others, those people will inevitably be discouraged, and they will either tell the truth or flee in the future, which will be troublesome.

Therefore, Su Qin sat down slowly and replied: "Then let's ask for their opinions, and when the time comes, it will be up to them to decide, those who are willing to stay will stay, those who are willing to leave, and we will pay a large amount of money." But if there is not enough manpower, after all, there will still be no enough music and dance class, is there any other way for General Chen? ”

Chen Xu thought to himself: "Who wants to go to the Qin State, which is still in a crude and semi-civilized state!" He was confident that if he asked the members of the music and dance class to do so, no one would choose to leave except for Wei Jia's sister and brother.

As for putting together a music and dance class, it is not difficult. There are several large families in Quwo City who have Maiko, and they will pick up some young Maiko and spend a lot of money on them to the main family, and I believe that the main family will agree.

Chen Xu then told Su Qin his thoughts, and Su Qin had no choice but to agree. In fact, he originally wanted to buy the entire music and dance class, so that Meng Ting would go together in the name of it.

However, what Chen said cannot be ignored. Su Qinxin said: "That's it, that's it, just let it be, if Meng Ting doesn't want to leave at that time, why should she force it." ”

Su Qin didn't know the bottom of his heart, and wanted to stay in Chen Xu's mansion for one night, meet Meng Ting again, and tell her the news. But Chen Xu had no intention of keeping him from beginning to end.

Su Qin was procrastinating, he didn't want to leave that night, he had nothing to say and chatted with Chen Xu until late at night, Chen Xu just didn't spit out and stayed overnight. Su Qin was disappointed, he was a good-looking person, but he still couldn't open his mouth after all, so he offered to stay overnight.

Chen Xu had actually seen Su Qin's mind a long time ago. The more Su Qin wanted to stay, the more he didn't want to stay. I thought to myself: "If you Su Qin stay, you won't kidnap my people away!" I'd better keep you away from us. ”

Su Qin looked at Chen Xu's seemingly sincere face and secretly scolded him for slipping his head. However, if the people didn't keep him, he couldn't help it, and after the last day, he still decided to rush back to the Qin camp overnight.

Su Qin and Chen Xu made an appointment to go to Chen's mansion the morning after tomorrow, and he came to pick up people with five hundred gold at that time. When he said goodbye to Chen Xu, he specially asked for a token to enter and exit the city gate, so that he could travel to and from Quwo City the day after tomorrow.

After Su Qin left, Chen Xu thought about it for a long time, and he decided to send Steward Shen tomorrow to buy a few young maiko and place them in the inn in the city, so that Su Qin could take people away from there.

Such a prevarication can be perfunctory. Thinking of this, Chen Xu secretly laughed in his heart that Su Qin was naïve.
