Xiong Xin had already knelt down in the lobby dignifiedly, and when he saw Wei Bao and the others coming in, his face was even more solemn. Wei Bao and the others also immediately bowed their hands and said solemnly: "Wei Bao, the envoy of Wei, visited the King of Chu. ”

"Tian Rong, the envoy of the State of Qi, visited the King of Chu."

"Chen Yu, the envoy of the Zhao State, visited the King of Chu."

"The Korean envoy Zhang Liang paid a visit to the King of Chu."

The four of them saluted one after another, and their words were very respectful, even Tian Rong did not act presumptuously, after all, Xiong Xin is the king of a country, and these etiquettes cannot be overcome. Xiong Xin raised his hand slightly, looked at the four people, and said in a deep voice: "The envoys of the four countries, please take a seat." Subsequently, he said: "This time our five countries formed an alliance to jointly resist Qin, which is a major event, and this alliance needs to work together. ”

"What the King of Chu said is extremely true, forming an alliance to resist Qin is related to the life and death of my five countries." Wei Bao said in a casual voice.

"I, the kingdom of Qi, must fight bravely to kill the enemy." Tian Rong also made a resolute statement.

Chen Yu sighed lowly, and he arched his hand: "The King of Chu doesn't know, the Su Jiao army of Zhao State is strong, and we need to deal with it carefully." ”

Tian Rong snorted, and retorted with some disapproval: "My Qi army is not afraid of this Su Jiao. ”

"General Tian, this is not a question of fear or not, but the Qin army is strong and must not be reckless." Zhang Liang explained at the right time.

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, Tian Rong turned his head and tried his best to suppress his anger. When Xiong Xin saw the dispute between several people, he waved his hand and said: "Although the Qin army is strong, our coalition army is fearless, but we must also be cautious." His words were very mellow, agreeing with Tian Rong and echoing Chen Yu and Zhang Liang.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, my Chu army will win the battle!" Xiang Liang also arched his hand, his words full of confidence. Even in the face of Su Jiao, Xiang Liang never thought that he would be defeated, no matter how fierce Su Jiao is, can he compare to his nephew Xiang Yu? Moreover, Xiang Liang had Tian Rong's support, and the strength of Xiang's army and Qi's army was not less than that of Su Jiao's army.

"Hmm." Xiong Xin nodded.

However, Wei Bao said again: "King Chu, Su Jiao is about to move, this alliance ceremony should be held as soon as possible, and my coalition army can also send troops." ”

"Yes, this canon can't be pushed anymore. Su Jiao did not move for the time being, and it was the time when our coalition army was recruited and dispatched. Chen Yu was worried about Zhao Guo, and immediately eagerly agreed.

Xiong Xin looked at Xiang Liang and Liu Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "What do you two think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Yuan agrees with the words of the Leopard Prince, and the ceremony cannot be delayed any longer." Liu Yuan smiled and replied.

"After my Chu army has rested, they can all be ready to go." Xiang Liang did not refute either.

Xiong Xin understood what the two of them meant, so he decided: "It's okay, the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky will be held in Yunshan outside the city tomorrow." After a pause, he looked at Liu Yuan, and then said, "Can the altar that you were ordered to build be completed?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "The king can rest assured, Yuan has ordered Liu Fang to lead the craftsmen to build it, and it has been completed yesterday." ”

"Very good." Xiong Xin bowed slightly in satisfaction, but he said suddenly: "The widow has been unwell for the past two days, and this ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will be done by the leopard boy." ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked by Xiong Xin's words, and their hearts were rolling like a huge wave. This sacrifice to the heavens is the most important thing, Xiong Xin, as the king of a country, actually shirked it with such a naïve reason, which made everyone feel the complicated situation within the Chu State.

Wei Bao was a little at a loss, this matter was indeed a little too sudden, he was stunned, and then got up and came out of the ranks, and said respectfully: "Chu State, this matter is ......"

Before Wei Bao finished speaking, Xiong Xin waved his hand again and interrupted: "Leopard Gongzi doesn't need to say much, the cold and hot have been alternating recently, and the widow really can't go to Yunshan to worship the sky." Xiong Xin didn't break the net with Liu Yuanyu in front of everyone, it's not that he didn't want to ask Liu Yuan in public, but what if he asked? Liu Yuan is just ruined, and he will fall into Xiang Liang's coercion.

Liu Yuan also stood up and said with a solemn expression: "The king still needs to take care of his body. ”

Xiang Liang also immediately chimed in, "Yes, the king's body is the most important. "Sacrificing to heaven is a manifestation of the divine power of the king, in order to win the hearts of the people. The reason why Xiang Liang agrees is that he doesn't want Xiong Xin to rise again by sacrificing to the sky. He and Liu Yuan both have their own ghosts.

Seeing this, Wei Bao also said with sincere fear: "Since this is the case, the leopard will do it." "Among all the people, except for the King of Chu, his status is the highest.

The matter of sacrificing to the heavens was decided, and Xiong Xin left. Everyone also dispersed to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony, and Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang negotiated the etiquette of this ceremony. Wei Bao hurriedly returned to the post house and found Bo Ji, he was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Madam, great joy." ”

"What makes my husband so happy?" Bo Ji also asked suspiciously.

"Haha, Madame doesn't know, tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony, the king of Chu has refused, and I will hold it." Wei Bao had a smug look on his eyebrows, this alliance to sacrifice to the sky can make him famous, even in Weidi, it can also make him win the hearts of the people.

"This King of Chu actually has the courage to refuse to sacrifice to the sky?" Bo Ji was also greatly surprised when she heard this, this matter can be described as very rare.

Wei Bao nodded, still with a smile on his face: "I also think it's strange, but if this King of Chu doesn't refuse, how can he get your husband's turn?" ”

Bo Ji's eyes were deep, and he thought about it quickly, and said, "I'm afraid that this King of Chu also has a hard time. Bo Ji didn't say it directly, but she knew it in her heart. In the final analysis, her husband's sacrifice to the sky is also a great joy.

After Liu Yuan and Xiang Liang discussed, he also ordered Xiao He to prepare the livestock, wine, and fruits needed to sacrifice to the sky, and of course, the sacrifice to the heavens. As for the sacrificial text of the alliance to sacrifice to the sky, Liu Yuan found Wei Bao and handed it over to the latter to write.

Wei Bao had a big head, so he arranged it for his wife Bo Ji, only to see Bo Ji sprinkled on the bamboo slips, and the pen and ink were flying.

In Yunshan, the construction of this altar also made Liu Fang work hard, and the craftsmen worked hard and worked day and night. The whole altar is in the shape of a ladder and stands on the top of the mountain to meet the heavens. The matter of sacrificing to the heavens also spread in Pengcheng and even Surabaya County, and the people were also excited. Therefore, as the sacrifice approaches, the atmosphere in Pengcheng is even hotter.

For Wei Bao's sacrifice to the sky, Tian Rong was quite heartfelt, and the king of Chu refused, he also had the intention of substituting the sacrifice to the sky, but Wei Bao was in front, and he could only sulk alone. However, Chen Yu is not the slightest different, for him, no matter who sacrifices to the sky, as long as the coalition army can rush to the aid of Zhao as soon as possible, he will not have any objections and opinions.

In this tense atmosphere of worshipping the heavens, the night finally passed.
