Su Qin and Zhang Yi were in the same car, but Zhang Yi did not take the initiative to mention what happened to him in Chu State, and when Su Qin asked, he was also vague and unwilling to elaborate.

Su Qin thought to himself: "Could it be that what the junior brother did is indeed true?" He actually went to insult the prince and concubine after drinking, and secretly took someone else's jade? ”

This is not a glorious thing, Su Qin saw that Zhang Yi didn't want to say it, so why was he embarrassed to ask more. Putting aside this topic, they turned to the matter of the Alliance, and Su Qin told Zhang Yi in detail about the process of persuading Xiong Shang, the king of Chu, and his eyebrows fluttered.

Because this was his pride after all, he grasped the weakness of the king of Chu who was afraid of the Qin state, and with a little trick, he let the king of Chu comply. However, Zhang Yi was still not interested in this, and he simply said "um" and "ah" without a positive reaction.

Su Qin could still think about it, and he felt: "Zhang Yi was frustrated in the Chu State, so he doesn't care if the Chu State joins the Hezong Alliance." ”

Su Qin looked at Zhang Yi and thought, "What kind of topic should I change in order to arouse my junior brother's interest?" ”

Just when Su Qin was meditating, suddenly Zhou Shao's voice came from outside the carriage, and Zhou Shao said loudly: "Prime Minister Su, Miss Meng Ting asked the last general to come and report, he wants you to stop for a while and wait for her." ”

Su Qin's thoughts were interrupted, but when he heard that Meng Ting was looking for him, he thought that something was wrong, how could he be lazy, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to stop the car.

Su Qin and Zhang Yi got out of the car, at this time, Su Qin looked around, but saw that they had been out of the east gate of Yingdu for more than a mile, on both sides of the road, planted with patches of oranges, round oranges have been hung full of branches, it is the end of summer at this time, and the fruits on the trees are almost ready to be picked.

Su Qin relaxed his waist, and he took a few steps back to find Meng Ting. And Meng Ting was also with Yao Yue at this time, slowly stepping out of the carriage and stepping out of the car.

As soon as Meng Ting's feet landed, she hurriedly rushed to Su Qin's small steps, and Su Qin couldn't help but be nervous when she saw her eagerness. Meng Ting came to Su Qin's side, grabbed Su Qin's arm, and dragged him to the side of the road alone.

Su Qin was about to open his mouth to ask Meng Ting what was the matter, but he heard Meng Ting say first: "Do you know the way?" Zhang Yi and his wife suffered inhuman treatment in Chu State, and Zhang Yi's life was almost lost, but thanks to Yao Yue's timely rescue, they were saved. ”

When Su Qin heard this, his mouth opened wide, and he replied, "Ah", he replied: "I asked about Senior Brother Zhang Yi, but he didn't tell me." ”

Meng Ting whispered again: "Then he has something unspeakable, Yao Yue told me the process before and after." Meng Ting then told Su Qin what Yao Yue had told her about Zhang Yi's experience in the Chu State.

Meng Ting also deliberately said: "Zhang Yi didn't explain this matter to you, but it doesn't mean that he will easily forget about it." I think the people of Chu have gone too far, so I want you to make up your mind quickly, whether to help Zhang Yi and his wife seek justice. ”

Su Qin listened to the situation before and after Zhang Yi's death, and he was also filled with righteous indignation, if according to his nature, he would like to catch Na Huai and Zhaoyang in person, beat them up, and vent his evil anger for his junior brother.

However, at this moment, his identity has changed wonderfully: after all, he is the "Ling Yin" of the Chu State, although this Ling Yin is famous.

Su Qin had no idea for a while, he was in a dilemma, he had the heart to go back to the king of Chu to ask for an explanation, but he had a word with the king of Chu at the banquet more than half a month ago, and he would persuade Zhang Yi to open it up, and now go back and ask questions, wouldn't it be a reversal. Moreover, the state of Chu has already joined the alliance, how can he, as the person in charge, disrupt public affairs because of personal hatred.

Su Qin then said to Meng Ting: "It stands to reason that of course we have to stand up for my junior brother, but the junior brother didn't even tell me the truth, did he have his own different ideas?" Let's listen to what he has to say. ”

Meng Ting also felt that Su Qin's words made sense, so the two of them stopped talking privately and went to find Zhang Yi together.

Su Qin carefully considered the proportions of his words, and said to Zhang Yi: "Just now Meng Ting told my junior brother about his misfortune in the Chu State, and I am also very angry as a brother. However, Senior Brother Zhang hid it from me, do you have any concerns? ”

After Su Qin reached the extreme, he still did not first propose revenge, but asked Zhang Yi what he thought, which was actually not what Zhang Yi expected. When Meng Ting and Su Qin were talking privately just now, Yao Yue had already briefly told Zhang Yi what he had told Meng Ting and Pan.

When Zhang Yi heard this, she was so anxious that she whispered to Yao Yue: "Why do you say everything, your mouth is too unreliable." ”

Yao Yue was complained by Zhang Yi, and was unconvinced, so she replied angrily: "I'm not like you, I suffered a big loss, and I pretend to be calm like a person who has nothing to do." Why can't Senior Brother Su avenge us, isn't he also in the phase of the Five Kingdoms? The power is in hand, and it is not a matter of a few words. ”

Zhang Yi said angrily: "What do you know, did we say that revenge can be avenged?" Why are you so naïve. ”

Yao Yue was still puzzled, panting for breath, and Zhang Yi simply ignored Yao Yue, and twisted her head to the side. At this time, Su Qin and Meng Ting rushed over, and Zhang Yi and his wife were still in a stalemate.

Yao Yue thought that Meng Ting would tell Su Qin the truth, and Su Qin, out of the friendship between his senior brother and his brother for many years, had not to jump like thunder, so he immediately turned his horse's head and went back to take revenge.

She didn't expect that Su Qin would still maintain a calm attitude at this time. Yao Yue thought to himself: "You don't take revenge, but ask Zhang Yi's opinion, what opinion can he have, it's not that he wants to take revenge on those people in Chu who framed him." ”

Yao Yue was a little anxious, and she immediately replied for her husband: "Of course we have to take revenge,......

Yao Yue's words were not finished, at this time, I saw Zhang Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Yao Yue's mouth, and he said: "This woman is a Taoist family, her mouth is very broken, and she talks nonsense. I don't want to stay in Chu anymore, so let's go on the road. ”

Su Qin saw that Zhang Yi still avoided answering the topic, but urged himself to continue on his way, watching Zhang Yi drag his younger siblings away, he felt a little strange.

Yao Yue was anxious to break free of her husband's hand and continued, but Zhang Yi firmly covered her hand and did not let go. He continued to suggest to Su Qin: "Get in the car quickly, my wife has a lot of mouths, which will inevitably disturb the tranquility of Miss Meng Ting." I'd better go with her in a carriage. ”

Zhang Yi said, and pulled his wife to the carriage behind. Seeing that Senior Brother Zhang Yi didn't care whether he took revenge or not, Su Qin also felt in his heart: "It's not a wise move to deal with this matter in the past." The alliance has reduced a lot of trouble and disgrace. ”

Su Qin thought: "This is probably a necessary sacrifice made by Senior Brother Zhang Yi to endure humiliation for Hezong, he thought that Zhang Yi is really a reasonable person." ”

Su Qin decided at this time: "We must reward Senior Brother Zhang generously, so that he can get enough compensation in money." ”

Su Qin saw that Zhang Yi had already walked to the carriage behind with his wife Yao Yue, and he looked at Meng Ting with an inquiring gaze to ask for her opinion. Meng Ting nodded, agreeing to get out of the carriage behind, get into the carriage in front, and ride with Su Qin.

After the two couples returned to their respective seats, Su Qin instructed the coachman to continue driving, and the convoy of the mission hurried to Xinzheng, the capital of Korea.

The minister accompanying Han Shen Zhi had already sent someone to send a message to Han Hou Han Gu in advance to report Su Qin's itinerary, so three days later, when the huge delegation led by Su Qin arrived in Xinzheng, Han Hou Han Gu personally greeted him outside the south gate of the capital.

Seeing Su Qin, Han Hou stepped forward affectionately and took his hand, saying polite words such as "hard work on the road" and "three lives are fortunate", looking very humble. Korea is located in the heart of the Central Plains, and is relatively weak among the princes of the Eastern Six Routes, so the desire to join the alliance is more urgent.

This is also due to the natural situation of the development of the vertical, everything is always difficult and abnormal at the beginning, and there may be repetitions in the middle, but the later it is, the more it will come naturally, and the melon will be ripe.

Seeing that Han Hou was so attentive, Su Qin understood that South Korea had a strong desire to join Hezong, just like a seedling waiting for rain to water in a dry spring. He couldn't help but sigh and sigh: At this stage, the alliance is close to completion.

Master Guigu often uses the principles in "Yi" to illustrate things. He once taught the hexagram theory of the "Qian" hexagram, and at the beginning of the Qian, "don't use the hidden dragon", and the future of his career is uncertain; Ninety-two, "see the dragon in the field", the new force is thriving; followed by "or leaping in the abyss", which is a metaphor for the repetition of the cause; Then, it is "flying dragon in the sky", reaching the apex of career glory.

From the ups and downs on the road he has walked, Su Qin has realized the profundity of Mr. Guigu's teachings, everything is difficult at the beginning, and there are repetitions in the middle, but success comes so inadvertently. Yili contains the unbreakable true meaning of heaven and earth that comes from observing all things.

On the night of Su Qin's arrival in Xinzheng, Han Hou held a special grand welcome banquet in the palace, and in the next four or five days, two other large banquets were held to show Korea's welcome to Su Qin's delegation and its firm determination to join the alliance.

Due to Han Hou Han Gu's gracious retention, Su Qin stayed in South Korea for a month and a half. Hanhou Han Gu originally intended to invite Su Qin to serve as the actual prime minister of South Korea, but after thinking about it, Su Qin still declined, and later became a named prime minister.

Hanhou Han Gu was not slacker because of the prime minister in his name, and specially held an unprecedented ceremony to worship the prime minister in the palace and ceremoniously rewarded Su Qin.

Su Qin gratefully took over Han Hou's seal, he also knew Han Hou's intentions, he was using the Hezong Alliance to make a big fuss, wanting to make Qin, Chu and other princes who have always coveted Korea see their close relationship with Su Qin clearly, and realize that South Korea is backed by the strong backing of the Hezong Alliance, so as to give up coveting.
