Life in the world, only decades. It doesn't matter if you are a prince or a general, or a small citizen, in the end, it is impossible to escape the cycle of life and death. The envoys of the State of Chu rushed to the State of Qin one by one. The news that the king of Chu was seriously ill was faster than the speed at which the plague spread, and although the news had no legs, he ran faster. The countries of the East are all on the move, speculating about who the new successor will be? What should Chu do next? What's more, they have begun to secretly assemble troops, hoping to start a war during the national mourning when the king of Chu is seriously ill and grabs benefits. Above the court of Chu State, the ministers discussed a lot, and they were at a loss for the situation of internal and external troubles in front of them. The great southern country, which is a land of thousands of miles, suddenly fell into a life-and-death situation.

Xiong Heng, the king of Chu Qingxiang, is worthy of being a prince who came out of the bloody storm, although he is terminally ill, his thinking is extremely clear.

'The only way to do this today is to get the prince back as soon as possible'. As he spoke, he fell into a coma again. The attendants hurriedly spread the news to the temple. The envoys of the state of Chu, like a carp crossing the river, rushed to the state of Qin in waves.

Above the temple of the Qin State, there is a tense plan underway. There is a tense and orderly debate about whether to let the bear go back to China. For Chu, a former ally, back and forth. It's hard to tell what kind of relationship it is. Although Empress Dowager Xuan Miyue has long since retreated into the background and does not care about the world. However, among the civil and military forces, there are still a large number of high-ranking officials who are pro-Chu. Among this group of people, the one who spoke the most was Ying Hou Fan Ju. Fan Ju was noble at this time, and he was above 10,000 people under one person. Advocate releasing Xiong Wan to return to China and ascend the throne. The Qin generals led by Bai Qi were resolutely opposed, and the two sides came and went. The face is red, and the ears are red, and there is no distinction.

Ying Hou Fan Ju sought the country in the old city, knowing that if it continued to be so noisy, it would definitely delay the big event. Come out of the class and come forward to salute.

"Enlighten my king, the old minister has something to say."

King Qin Zhao had already been dizzy by the argument in front of him, and when he saw Fan Ju coming out, he was also idle, and replied casually:

"Wait, what to say, let it be."

Fan Ju replied:

"Qi my king, when the general trend is today, it is not enough to dominate the world, Chu is far away in the south, the mountains and rivers are vertical and horizontal, the river network is dense, my Great Qin iron armor is elite, spears and fast horses, it is difficult to perform. In addition, the land of Chu is vast, and it is difficult to occupy it for a while, even if the land of Chu is occupied, and the troops are mobilized, if the eastern countries take advantage of the fact that our army is weak and weak, and raise troops to attack, how will I retreat from the enemy? The chariots of Chu are thousands of times, holding millions of halberds, and there is a national enemy, soldiers are in Chu, destroying people's houses, fields, and killing wives and children. The family hates more than once. The country is hated by the family, and the elite of our Qin army is mired in the quagmire. Can't move! The situation on the battlefield is in the blink of an eye, and success or failure is unknown. The eastern states took advantage of the situation to attack. Our army will fight on two fronts. It's not good for the country!

The crown prince Xiong is finished, and it is not enough to stay in Xianyang to kill it. Staying in Xianyang is just a small people. If he is allowed to return to China,

First, to show my king's benevolent heart, Xiong Wan will definitely be grateful.

Second, it also prevents the eastern countries from using this as an excuse to settle the truth and accuse our Great Qin of bullying the weak and rarely showing grace.

Third, Xiong Wan returned to China and ascended the throne, and he will definitely befriend my Daqin, and my Daqin will be able to free up troops and compete with the vassal states in the Central Plains. Looking forward to my king, with the Qin State for thousands of years and a hundred years, we cannot fight for the small profits in front of us. ”

King Qin Zhao felt justified when he heard this. Nodding frequently.

"When the Hou is reasonable, the widow is immediate"

"Why, my lord." While speaking, a military general walked out from among the courtiers, and it was Wu Anjun, the victorious general of the Qin State. Wu Anjun stepped forward and saluted:

"Qi my king, this Chu prince bear can't let go."

When King Qin Zhao heard this, he asked, "Why did Aiqing say this, why can't he let him go?" Let's listen to the courtiers. “

Bai Qi stood up. Lang Sheng replied, this Bai Qi is worthy of being the mainstay of commanding thousands of troops. Qi out of the dantian, the sound is like a bell, even outside this hall, it is like thunder and explosion. "Enlighten my king, my courtiers, the saints are always aware of the clues before they happen. Wise people can understand the situation before it has some eyebrows, and only the ignorant can only understand the ins and outs of the matter until it is over.

The crown prince Xiong is also very human, and in my Daqin years, he has been diligent and promising, and he has made friends all over the world. Love and hate are clear, righteousness and wealth are squandered, and in my Xianyang City, there are quite a lot of people.

He has a deep personal relationship with my important ministers in the court, (when he spoke, he swept Fan Ju with his eyes, and Fan Ju was unmoved.) It is also assisted by Huang Xie. Huang Xie is a capable minister of the world. If he returns to the Chu State one day, within a few years, the Chu State will definitely be able to recover its vitality.

At that time, it will definitely be a strong opponent of my Great Qin. In addition, the border between me and the Chu State is staggered, and border conflicts occur from time to time, if we take advantage of this God-given opportunity to send troops to fight, we will definitely be able to accomplish a great success, and it will be a great achievement to expand the land for thousands of miles. The prince bear can't let go. ”

''Wu Anjun's words are already bad, if the Chu State establishes a new monarch, what is the use of me waiting for Xiong to finish? Fan Ju didn't wait for Bai Qi to finish speaking, and hurriedly interjected.

"Ying Hou is too worried, my two sons of Wenyang Wenjun, although they are in the capital of Chu State, are all disciples of wine bags and rice bags, and they do not cultivate civil and military, if such a rice bucket can lead the country to govern, it is the best policy for me Daqin." After Bai Qi finished speaking, the ministers above the hall laughed. King Qin Zhao was also happy to lean forward and back together.

Fan Ju waited until everyone's laughter had passed. Spoken:

"The king, Wu Anjun, it is difficult for ten thousand people to fight in command, and in this matter, it is too thin.

If the state of Chu is the leader of the rice bucket and takes the opportunity to be divided by the eastern countries, my Great Qin will lose an arm, and all the land south of Wuguan will be in no danger to defend.

The land of my Bashu will be completely exposed to the eyes of the eastern countries.

Opening the door to the rear of our Great Qin will be a great strategic mistake. The state of Chu is my ally of Great Qin's march into the Central Plains. Help me Great Qin to hold my strategic rear. So that my Daqin can be in the initiative. When there is a change in the east, my Great Qin elite will do their best to send a letter to Guguan and compete in the Central Plains.

Today, the state of Chu is in chaos, but I, Great Qin, want to make it strong and weaken the strength of Han Wei and Qi Yue. Counteract the pressure of our Great Qin to march into the Central Plains. I'm Wang Mingjian. The sage said, 'Time does not wait', and I hope that my king will define it as soon as possible."

King Qin Zhao heard this, and he couldn't decide how to make a decision for a while. Seeing that Bai Qi was about to speak again, King Qin Zhao, who had been a little impatient, thought to himself, if you talk about it again, I don't know when you will be able to retreat from the dynasty. So hurry up and grab the conversation

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's court meeting, I want to go back and think about it, and then make plans, let's disperse." The little eunuch beside him hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Disperse the court", and the ministers will retreat from the court.

There has long been a detailed discussion on today's hall, and the original information has been told to the prince of Chu, Xiong Wan. Xiong Wan and Huang Xie and several other close attendants were plotting in the secret room how to leave the Qin State and return to the Chu State. I heard a knock at the door. Huang Xie hurriedly got up and walked to the door and asked in a low voice

'Who is making a noise outside?' ’

The person who only heard it said, "My subordinate Zhou Wen has something important to report to Lord Huang Xie."

Huang Xie glanced inside, and Xiong Wan nodded in agreement. Huang Xie opened the door and went out, closing the door casually.

'Zhou Wen, what are you looking for me, you are so flustered and rude. Although Lord Huang Xie is now like an ant in a hot pot, he can see his subordinates, and his demeanor is not less at all. The official tone is correct. The posture of calm and relaxation seems to have everything in mind. This style made Zhou Wen very foolish.

Zhou Wen thought to himself that I came here at the risk of death to help everyone get out, could it be that everyone already had a plan to get out? Ay! They all blamed themselves for drinking and missing a big event. That's not right! If you have a plan to get out, how can you not prepare and hide in this secret room for what you are doing? Doubts suddenly appeared in my heart. Thinking of seeing a large number of envoys from the State of Chu entering the palace on the way back, he has not yet come out of the palace, and he thinks that the King of Qin has not yet decided whether to let him go or not, if he does, he would not have gone back with the envoys of the State of Chu. It seems that everyone has no plans to get out yet. It seems that I still have a chance, and I still hurry up and say my plan to help everyone get out. Thinking of this, he was about to speak, and looked at Lord Huang Xie's leisurely appearance. No way! I don't want to say the plan first, otherwise all the credit will be taken away by Huang Xie, wouldn't I be busy in vain, thinking about how if I can't be knighted, how can I have the opportunity to go to Zhao State to see my Li Yan girl. The plan is settled. Zhou Wen had some ideas in his heart.

'My lord, my subordinates, I saw countless envoys of the State of Chu in Xianyang City, and went straight to the Xianyang Palace, and I didn't see anyone who went back to restore my life, it seems that the King of Qin still has no intention of letting the prince go back. ’

Zhou Wen slowly reported this dispensable information to Huang Xie, while secretly looking at Huang Xie, hoping to get an accurate judgment. Huang Xie is worthy of being an old fritter in officialdom, and it can be seen from Zhou Wen's hurried running, wanting to speak and stopping, that Zhou Wen has already had a plan to get out. So there's not so much to pay attention to. It's important to save your life, so let's listen to how this kid plans first. Thinking of this, Huang Xie immediately changed his face, his face was like a spring equinox, and said

"Zhou Wen, you have followed me for many years, I know that you are diligent and capable, if there is a chance, I will definitely introduce you to the prince's side" said and patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder. Zhou Wen heard that the chief was so serious, but he was still young and lacked city experience. After being praised by Lord Huang Xie, he was fascinated. The heart is beautiful. has a beautiful heart, and there is a lack of a door on his mouth, and then he reveals his plans and plates.

Zhou Wen said to Huang Xie, "My lord, judging from today's situation, the debate over the stay of the crown prince in the court of Qin is becoming increasingly fierce, and the king of Qin is swaying left and right for a while. However, when the king of Chu is dying, I am afraid that time is running out, if the king of Chu dies, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious for us and other monarchs and ministers to live in Qin State. Now you and I are like fish on a cutting board waiting for others to come and slaughter, if everything is done by what etiquette and law, I am afraid that sooner or later we will die in a foreign land."

Huang Xie nodded again and again when he heard this, thinking that it was good, it seemed that he had already paid attention. Ask right away

'Sir, is there any way to get out of here?' ‘

My lord has heard that the profit from farming is as much as ten times, and the profit from selling jewelry and jade can be a hundredfold. If you can plan the future of a country and hold the power of a country, you can obtain inexhaustible profits. God gives you the opportunity, if you don't grasp it and let it slip away, not only will you not do any good, but you may also lose everything you have now. If you don't do it, you have to take your life. ‘

Huang Xie was stunned for a moment, what happened to Zhou Wen today, I thought that this person, with a good appearance, would follow me into the palace, so as not to be humiliated by the Qin people, saying that I have no handsome men in the south, but I didn't expect to listen to his words today, but he is also a well-educated person. I just took a fancy to his appearance before, but I didn't expect that this Zhou Wen is also a rare talent.

Thinking of this, Huang Xie asked;

I don't know what you mean by that, sir? Students want to hear about it'.

Zhou Wen stretched out his hand forward, touched the corner of Huang Xie's clothes, and whispered:

'Childe, luck has come. If you can help the prince return to China and ascend the throne this time, the prince will thank you for your contributions, and he will naturally make the prince open the government and govern a country.

At this time, Huang Xie was already impressed by the doorman in front of him. 'What is the opinion of the sir, the student listens. Huang Xie lost his previous arrogance. Zhou Wen looked around when he saw this, and when he saw that no one else was near, he said in a low voice:

"Childe, today's plan, only in this way can we get out of danger" Huang Xie smiled when he heard this, and said in a continuous voice; "Brilliant plan! Coup! Coup! The gentleman will go down and rest first, and I will report to the prince. ”

Zhou Wen went down to rest. Huang Xie stood in the courtyard and sighed to the moon.

"In life, getting rich and rich can sometimes be so simple. How many people have never been appreciated. A big gamble in life is worth it! God treats me well! "Calm my mind for a moment. Huang Xie pushed the door and entered the secret room.

Prince Xiongwan was already restless, pacing back and forth in the secret room, and when he saw Huang Xie coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the placket of his shirt and asked, "Sir, do you have a way to get out?"

Huang Xie hurriedly replied:

"Prince, there is a way to get out of the world, you just have to do it tomorrow"

Xiong Wan listened and listened to his face calm at first, but the more he listened, the happier he became, and when he heard half of it, the smile on his face disappeared, and he hurriedly said:

"No, no, although Mr. and I are monarchs and ministers, we are actually half-teachers and half-friends, how can I trap Mr. in this land of tigers and wolves. I also hope that Mr. will plan another way out for Xiong Wan. "Prince, the affairs of the world depend on the safety of the Chu State, and the safety of the Chu State is the body of the prince. The life of the crown prince is related to the safety of all countries in the world. In this world of great controversy at this historical turning point, how can the prince be such a child. Ignore the world's common people. In Xia Huang Xie, he thanked the prince for his kindness, and even though he died, he could still look at it. "Say goodbye and fall to the ground! Prince Xiong Wan was already full of tears, and hurriedly reached out to pull Huang Xie up.

"Sir, a master in the world, Xiong Wan can get some teachings from Mr., and he has no regrets in this life!" After speaking, the two held their hands tightly. The fate of the state of Chu will change in these few hours, and the overall situation of the world will add some unknowns.

Early the next morning, before dawn, gray, a carriage, decorated with extremely ordinary decorations, such carriages abound in Xianyang City, and will not arouse anyone's suspicion. The official residence of the prince of Chu is in Xianyang City, going back and forth. When the people in the car felt that no one would follow, they said a word to the driver

"Go to Yinghou Mansion, quickly",

When the coachman heard this, he hurriedly raised his whip, and the two horses were instructed to shake off their hooves and go away. After a while, I came to the back door of the Ying Hou Mansion. The people in the car, dressed in black and wearing black veils, came to the door, knocked on the door, and after a while, a small man opened the door and asked, "Sir, what is the matter with you?" “

The man in black outside the door said: "In the Lower Chu Kingdom, Huang Xie has something important to meet!" ”

After listening to the registration, the little maid hurriedly opened the door and said casually: "Mr. hurry in, my master, I have been waiting for Mr. for a long time" While saying, he vigilantly observed the movements around him, and after confirming that there was no abnormality, he welcomed the man in black to the courtyard and quickly closed the door.

Ying Hou Fan Ju had a heated argument with Bai Qi and others during the court meeting yesterday, and he was a little tired! As soon as he returned home to rest, he was recruited into the palace by King Qin Zhao and planned a military plan for half a night. When I came back, I told the doorman that if there was a Chu person visiting, please come in quickly, and there was no need to pass through. At this time, he was sitting on a couch in the middle of the room, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"It's so pleasant! It's rare to have half a day of leisure," he said, bowing his hand.

Fan Ju heard that someone came in, and when he saw that it was Huang Xie, he hurriedly got up to greet him. Although Huang Xie is a native of Chu, because of his ambiguous relationship with the Empress Dowager Xuan, he is very appreciated by the Empress Dowager, although the Empress Dowager has long ceased to listen to the government. But the hundred-legged insect is still very influential, although it is not dead.

"I didn't know that Lord Huang personally visited, and he couldn't welcome him from afar and atone for his sins! Expiation! "Hurry up and greet him." Don't come unharmed, I'm waiting for the monarch and ministers to be involuntary at this time, what else are we talking about atonement? Huang Xie looked helpless and took Fan Ju's hand with his hand. Haha, Lord Huang, you didn't come here today to laugh at me, did you? Fan Ju patted Huang Xie's shoulder with a smile. Saying that, he quickly invited Huang Xie to sit down, and instructed his subordinates to serve wine and food. In the blink of an eye, the food was ready to stop. Fan Ju invited Huang Xie into the banquet and poured a full glass of wine and sent it to Huang Xie.

"Come, Lord Huang, drink this glass of wine first, warm your body, this place is bitter and cold, and it is not as warm as your Chu country." Fan Ju said as he picked up the wine jug beside him and filled Huang Xie with another glass.

Huang Xie drank two glasses in succession. Spoken:

"Yinghou, although you and I are in troubled times, each is his master. But you and I are the sons of the people of the world. You see, between these big countries, there are fights and fights, and it is not the people of the world who are killed or injured. Today's Qin monarch Ming Chenxian has a grand desire to unify the world, but does today's Qin really have the opportunity to unify the world? ”

Speaking of which, Huang Xie looked at Fan Ju deadly. Both of them are the best men in the world. Naturally, looking at things was far from what ordinary people at that time could do.

"Lord Huang, I have understood, how do you want me to help you?"

Huang Xie smiled and said: "It is said that Ying Hou is very clever, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." I'm waiting for the monarchs and ministers here, I don't know what the situation of Chu is like? I heard that the king of Qin did not allow my master to return to China and ascend the throne. My master is a benevolent and filial person, when the Chu Dynasty is not safe, my master wants to be filial piety in front of the bed, and I don't know if the marquis can be presented to the king of Qin. In order to round my master's loyalty and filial piety. Lord Huang also knew that King Qin was undecided at this time, I don't think the prince would be allowed to return to China, but the prince could send his close attendants to visit on his behalf, I don't think King Qin would object!" Fan Ju said. "That's the case, I hope that Ying Hou will do a lot of maneuvering, and I will thank you on behalf of the prince" said and stood up and bowed! Ying Hou hurriedly got up and pulled Huang Xie to his seat. "Why bother, come and continue drinking" Ying Hou came to Huang Xie and began to drink again. Huang Xie knew that things had moved forward according to his expectations, so he naturally didn't have much mustard in his heart, and he drank a lot more happily. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors!

Huang Xie got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he didn't forget to tease Fan Ju:

"Yinghou, I'll wait for a few people, at this time, it's like a chess piece in your hand, you can use it well."

Ying Hou laughed: "Lord Huang can't be like this, torture me, I will immediately enter the palace to meet my king, and beg my king to allow it."

"Thank you Ying Hou for your love, the things that Ying Hou promised will naturally not be far from ten, I will go back to prepare and say goodbye!" Huang Xie said.

Ying Hou hurriedly replied, "Come and send off guests", and sent Huang Xie out of the door.

After Huang Xie left, Ying Hou hurriedly cleaned up, entered the palace, and met King Qin.

King Qin Zhao asked, "Ying Hou came so early, I don't know why?" "Enlighten my king, the minister is here for the matter of the prince of Chu Xiong Wan!" Fan Ju hurriedly replied.

King Qin Zhao said:

"I haven't made a decision for a while about Xiong's return to China, so let me think about how to deal with it for a few days?"

The relationship between King Qin Zhao and Fan Ju is extraordinary, if it weren't for Fan Ju. At this time, Daqin didn't know who had the final say. Therefore, King Zhao has always been obedient to Fan Ju, but today's matter, above the court, is quite controversial, and for a while, King Qin can't hold it.

"I, Wang Mingjian, came here to say another thing!" Ying Hou replied.

"Ao, since Ying Hou is here for Xiong Wan's business, how can there be other things" King Qin Zhao looked at Ying Hou Fan Ju with a confused expression.

"Qi my king, the minister came today, and it is indeed Xiong Wan's coming, but what the minister wants to say today is the concept of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. People are not ruthless, and the relationship between father and son is the road of humanity. Today, the fate of King Chu Qingxiang is on the verge of death, and the crown prince Xiong Wanyuan is in Xianyang, and he can't fulfill his filial piety in front of his father. If they think that this person's filial piety is not to be worried, what should I do when my king is old? King Qin Zhao, who said a few words, nodded again and again.

"Having said that, it is fearful to let him go back, and the ministers criticize it. How is it good", King Qin Zhao hurriedly asked.

Ying Hou said:

"My king can make Xiong Wan's close ministers go,

A bear is still in my hands.

Second, block the mouths of the people of the world,

Three, so that my own son-in-law understands the great truth of loyalty and filial piety. ”

"That's the best, I should leave this matter to you," King Qin Zhao said.

"Weichen will do it" said Ying Hou got up, bid farewell to King Qin Zhao, and went straight to the official residence of Xiong Wan, the prince of Chu.

Fan Ju Wei is a native of the country, and he has a friendship with the prince of Chu, and he is naturally cautious about this matter, and he is naturally quite proud of getting the approval of King Zhao today, and he is thinking about how to talk about it with the prince of Chu, but before he can think about it, the car has been parked in the prince's official residence.

There were already people from the door who went in, and Prince Xiong Wan and Huang Xie hurriedly ran to the front door to greet them.

'Come here, don't come unharmed!' The crown prince Xiong Wan said as he stretched out his hand to support Ying Hou.

Although this Ying Hou is the commander of the Qin State, he is not a reliable iron rice bowl for everything, and he can't keep it. I had to pack my bags and go out to find a job. But the bear is different, don't look at the fence today, suffer all the white eyes. But the family was born with noble blood, and besides, he said that he had been canonized as the prince, and sooner or later he would go home and take over his father, King Chu Qingxiang's class. The state of Chu is also a great country of princes that cannot be underestimated. It's also very convenient to help Xiong Wan today. The interests of the nations have always been the most important, today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat him, and the day after tomorrow he will beat you again. What a combination of vertical and horizontal. To put it bluntly, it is to join forces to bully people, and it is even simpler to fight yourself, if you don't want to be killed, you will naturally have to find a way to break them up, and it is best to pull the other party's people to your side. It all depends on relationships and face! Whether the relationship is iron or not, you can see through it at a glance when the time comes. Ying Hou knelt down to worship the crown prince Xiong Wan, and there was no fuss.

Several people entered the back hall back and forth, and the guests and hosts sat down.

Ying Hou spoke first: "Prince Qiqi, in the past few days, many envoys from Chu have come to Xianyang to inform King Chu's condition, I wonder if King Chu has recovered at this time?" “

Before Ying Hou finished speaking, the crown prince Xiong fell to the ground with a plop, tears rained down, and sobbed and said: "Ying Hou help me, although my father is a prince, I am the only one under my knees." When my father lived in another country, my father and son were bullied by others, and there was no food and clothing, so how can ordinary people understand that I was bullied when I was young, and my father fell ill in order to protect me, and now he is terminally ill, and his time is short. But I'm far away from home, and I can't take care of my old father in front of me."

Don't wait to finish, tears are like beads with broken threads, crackling and falling to the ground, there is a famous saying since ancient times, "men don't flick when they have tears", and a few people know that there is a sentence 'just because they haven't reached the sad place', this Xiong Wan is really caused by temperament, and he can't hold himself. Tears rained down.

Huang Xie and the others hurriedly helped the prince up, and said with relief: "The prince can't hurt his gods so much, the king is blessed with all the heavens, and he can naturally turn evil into good fortune and be lucky in trouble."

Ying Hou saw that everyone went to comfort Xiong Wan. He also hurriedly left his seat and stepped forward, bowed, and said: "The prince must not be so sad, the old man came today to report something important."

After saying that, he stopped and waited for the crying to finish here. Xiong Wan saw that Ying Hou had something important to say, so he quickly wiped his tears and stopped crying. Tidy up your clothes and sit upright. "I'm sorry Ying Hou, I'm a little out of shape, I hope Ying Hou doesn't care" Xiong Wan said, although his voice was still a little choked, but he could hear that he had slowly recovered. "The prince is a benevolent and filial person, out of temperament, and the father and son are the road of heavenly justice. How can there be a second word? Today, I came on the orders of the King of Qin to tell the prince that although the King of Qin had not yet agreed to the prince's return to China, he had already allowed the prince to send his close ministers to visit the king of Chu. When the situation became clear, the King of Qin would send a large army to escort the crown prince back to the throne. After Fan Ju finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said, "Prince, don't you have to be sad at this time, right?" "Thank you Yinghou, I am grateful. I'll send someone back with the envoy of Chu to see how my old father is doing!" Prince Xiong Wan hurriedly thanked Ying Hou. "Prince, I am busy with official business, so I will no longer disturb the prince, and I will leave!" Ying Hou said as he stood up and saluted and took his leave.

"Huang Xie, send it on my behalf, wait!" Prince Xiong Wan commanded.

"No!" Huang Xie replied.

The two of them went out of the back hall and entered the cloister. Ying Hou Fan Ju coughed lightly and said:

"Lord Huang, what a plan!"

Huang Xie laughed, quickly stuffed a piece of beautiful jade into Fan Ju's hand, and said casually:

"Everything still can't escape the eyes of Ying Hou, and I still hope that Ying Hou will raise your noble hand!"

Fan Ju took the jade pendant and put it in his hand, it was warm and delicate and slightly cool, knowing that it was a priceless treasure.

"Hahaha, Lord Huang, this is so, don't take it back quickly, how can I ask for your things" Between speaking, Fan Ju returned the jade pendant to Huang Xie. "Yinghou, ordinary objects, Yinghou should not shirk, and play with it, but also relieve fatigue." Huang Xie put the jade pendant in Fan Ju's hand again. "In this case, the old man will accept the right and leave here, and Lord Huang will stay." After Fan Ju finished speaking, he strode out.

Huang Xie was behind, and he couldn't stop saying, "Wait and go slowly."

Looking at the carriage that Ying Hou got on, the coachman raised his whip, the high cart and the horse, disappeared into the courtyard of the street corner, Huang Xiecai entered, and instructed the guards guarding the door to close the door, and from today on, all those who came to see the prince told them that the prince was sick and it was inconvenient to see guests, and asked them to go back. The guard at the door nodded yes.

Huang Xie entered the courtyard and saw that the prince had come to the middle of the courtyard. Hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Prince, the big thing is done, you hurry up and prepare, pretend to be the envoy of the Chu State, and leave Xianyang tonight with the Chu State delegation, it is estimated that you will arrive at the border of our Chu State in three days, and someone will naturally come to meet you at that time."

In Prince Xiongwan's firm eyes, he could see a rising heat, holding Huang Xie's hand tightly, and his gratitude was overflowing. "Prince, Zhou Wen, the doorman next to me, has the right to change, you can let him take care of you on the way, if there is any problem, you can let him help plan." Huang Xie recommended Zhou Wen to Prince Xiongwan's side.

First, if he can't return to Chu, Zhou Wen can also assist the king of Chu.

Second, when he went back to his country, naturally no one dared to take his seat, and Zhou Wen obediently gave up his position. This is called a card position, when it is inconvenient for you to come forward, let your cronies occupy the seat first. Don't let others take possession. It's easy to discuss everything with your own people. It's not so easy for others.

Zhou Wen and the crown prince Xiong Wan all made up to look like ordinary Chu envoys, and did not mention it when the envoys returned to China. It is said that in order to hide Huang Xie's eyes, Prince Xiongwan's room is waiting for people as usual. Meals are readily available, and people are also arranged to boil medicine, and several times a day to ask for peace. It looks like he's seriously ill. The smell of boiling medicine can be smelled from several streets.

In the past few days, the kings of the eastern countries have also successively sent secret envoys to the Qin State, first, to see what the Qin State is doing about this matter, and secondly, to get close to Xiong Wan, the prince of Chu, to help him return to China, so that he can reap benefits in the future. Among these people, there are strategists, rangers, and disciples of hundreds of schools, and they are mixed, with different purposes, so naturally there are more filthy, and fights occur from time to time. There are even more extreme sects that want to kill the King of Qin and let the crown prince Xiong return to China. This is also the reason why the Xianyang Order arranged a curfew at the beginning.

There was nothing wrong with the first two days, and all those who came to the main gate were chased back by the guards at the gate on the grounds that the prince was seriously ill. The rangers who came in over the wall, because there were heavy guards at the door of the prince's bedroom, did not dare to come in rashly, so they could only lie on the wall and observe, and saw the people coming and going, delivering food and medicine, but they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It's just that the abnormal behavior of Prince Chu's official residence in the past few days has attracted the attention of Wu Anjun Baiqi. Bai Qi is worthy of being a veteran of the battle-hardened battle, and he can see through the cattiness at a glance. Several times he sent the doormen around him, but he was finally blocked from the door.

Wu Anjun saw that the development of things had exceeded his original plan, and hurriedly entered the palace to report to King Qin Zhao. In the main hall, King Qin Zhao was still reviewing the chapters, the various national letters presented by the envoys of the Eastern countries, and the manuscripts of the relationship between Qin and Chu today. Let King Qin Zhao be annoyed! was about to have a seizure, but saw Wu Anjun report to ask for a meeting.

"Hurry up, please Wu Anjun"

King Qin Zhao has the grace of knowing Bai Qi, in the early years Bai Qi was just an ordinary soldier, King Zhao saw that he fought bravely, and quite strategic, several years of training, thought that he was a unique soldier in the world. He has the strength to lead a million-strong army in battle. Therefore, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to Wu Anjun step by step. The Warring States period was a period of transition from a slave society to a feudal society, and although the original hierarchy lost its binding force, the hierarchy of feudal society became clearer and clearer. In particular, the Qin State, since the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, has implemented a strict system of twenty-level military meritorious. The children of the original slaves, ordinary people, have the opportunity to become officials and knights. Despite this, the almost harsh military merit system is not something that can be obtained by cutting corners, and it must also be learned by real talent. Despite this, King Qin Zhao was still courteous when he treated Bai Qi. He never called him by his first name, and was always called Wu Anjun.

Wu Anjun entered the main hall in Bai, bowed and said: "Minister Baiqi, see my king!" ”

King Qin Zhao hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said, "Wu Anjun is exempt, I don't know why Wu Anjun is here today?" ”

Bai Qi replied:

"My lord, in the past few days, the minister sent a doorman, came back to report to the minister, saying that the official residence of the prince of Chu Xiong Wan has newly added many guards, and the prince of Chu Xiong Wan has been sick for the past two days, which is very strange, and all the interviews have been blocked from the door. The minister suspected that Xiong Wan, the prince of Chu, had already left the Qin State".

"What? Impossible! King Qin Zhao looked puzzled, and seemed to be muttering to himself: "Two days ago, Ying Hou said that the prince of Chu Xiong Wan missed his father, and wanted to come to the king of Chu with little time, and wanted to send his close attendants to return to China to visit, so as to fulfill the filial piety of the son of man." Could it be that Xiong Wan ran back by himself? But the Xianyang Order has not been reported in the future, and the Xianyang City has never seen the honor guard of the Prince of Chu come out? Impossible? Could it be that King Qin Zhao suddenly came to his senses, and then said: "Someone, hurry up and take my name card to invite Prince Xiong Wan of Chu, and say that there is something important to discuss when you enter the palace!" At the same time, he immediately informed Xianyang to close the city gate, and then went to ask Ying Hou to come over. Hurry up" and "Nuo" The little eunuchs hurriedly took the order and ran out, and they did not mention their own arrangements.

But he said that in the past two days, Huang Xie has been dressed up as the prince of Chu all day long, eating and drinking, and drinking decoctions, and he has long been miserable. If there is no accident, within three days, you can rush to the border of Chu State, and it will be completed by then. Today is the last day, and Huang Xie's heart is slightly relieved. I was holding the tea and savoring it. I never thought that at this moment, the guards outside the gate hurriedly ran in, knelt down and said: "My lord, it's not good, someone from the palace of King Qin has come, saying that he wants to invite the prince, and there is something important to discuss when he enters the palace!" "What?" The tea bowl in Huang Xie's hand suddenly fell to the ground, sprinkled his own tea, and in a panic, Huang Xie told the guards: "I think the prince is close to the border of my Chu State, you quickly take someone to pack your luggage, and we will escape from the city." "My lord, when I came back from the street just now, I saw that the Xianyang Order had blocked all the gates of entry and exit from the city. We can't escape. The guard nervously told Huang Xie.

Hearing this, Huang Xie was not as flustered as he was just now, he calmed down and said, "Okay! In this case, you hurry up and prepare, and we will enter the palace to meet King Qin. Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky! “

The honor guard of the Prince of Chu Xiong Wan opened the way, and Huang Xie sat in the carriage of the Prince of Chu, although he was apprehensive. But when he thought of what Zhou Wen said to him two days ago, not only did the corners of his mouth show a smile. Life is a big gamble, some people don't even have the opportunity to get on the table, today I Huang Xie, can become a chess piece in this Warring States card game, it is enough to leave a name in history. I couldn't help but feel a little heroic in my heart, but I was looking forward to seeing King Qin earlier, and I was stunned and surprised when I saw the great Qin minister.

King Qin Zhao sat on the top of the main hall, Ying Hou Fan Ju, Wu Anjun Baiqi, and a group of civil and military soldiers were divided into two classes. "Prince Chu Xiong is finished, wait outside the hall" The guards in front of the door came to report. "Xuan," King Qin Zhao said.

Huang Xie wore the crown of Prince Chu into the main hall, and did not speak, King Qin Zhao felt quite puzzled for a while, what is the matter today, he actually didn't talk to me, didn't he know that he was my hostage, if you don't talk to me, then I'll say hello to you first. Then he said: "Xiong Wan, this king heard that you have been unwell for a few days recently, and now you are fine." Still the pestle was there without saying a word.

King Qin is even more puzzled, he has a long ability to shout, and he actually ignores me, could it be because his father is terminally ill, and he burned out his brain because of his thoughts? King Qin was still thinking in his heart. But there are people who understand in the hall, Ying Hou Fan Ju was still shocked when he saw Xiong Wan coming in at the beginning, could it be that he didn't leave? I'm still muttering. However, King Qin's several questions did not answer, and his heart was already eight or nine, and the Prince of Chu in front of him, Xiong Wan, was definitely an impostor.

Not only did Ying Hou understand, Wu Anjun was not a vegetarian at all, at first when Xiong Wan came in, he was still blaming himself for being reckless and misreporting that Xiong Wan had escaped, but King Qin asked him several times, Xiong Wan did not answer, Wu Anjun already understood in his heart that the person in front of him was definitely not the Prince of Chu Xiong Wan, Xiong Wan had already run away! When King Qin was about to ask again, Wu Anjun rose in vain, walked up to Xiong Wan in two steps, and took off his crown! "Ahh

Huang Xie was a person from the Chu State with the Empress Dowager Xuan, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and entering and leaving the court of the Qin State was like entering and leaving his own house. How could King Qin Zhao not know him! However, this Manchu Dynasty civil and military, all of a sudden, there was a sound, and one by one it seemed to be seeing a living treasure. Lord Huang Xie, what kind of trouble are you making here? Actually pretending to be the prince of Chu to tease me Great Qin Chongchen, that thing on your neck may not belong to you for a while. Although they didn't say it on their lips, they really hated it in their hearts.

This is the way this is the world, most people like to deceive people, find it funny, play with other people's IQ, and appear to be smarter than others. But the smarter a person is, the less he wants to be deceived and feels that his self-esteem has been greatly hit. What was originally a little thing, because it offended self-esteem, will become extremely huge. Even those scholars who originally supported the return of Prince Xiong Wan of Chu are now silent.

Huang Xie looked quite proud after his crown was removed. Ascend and salute:

"Huang Xie, the prince of Chu, meet the King of Qin!" King Qin Zhao on the top of the main hall finally figured it out at this time, and he didn't talk to me just now, because he was afraid that I would hear that it wasn't Xiong Wan! Because of the friendship in the past, King Qin Zhao is not like His Royal Highness's ministers. I think it's quite interesting.

asked: "Lord Huang Xie, you are dressed so ceremoniously, is it possible, you have already become the king of the south!" Among our princes? It's just that I don't know, but can I have Zhou Tianzi's approval? ”

When Huang Xie heard that King Qin was teasing him, he felt much safer, and then replied:

"In the Qin State here, there is only one King of Qin, who can face the south and be the king. I'm just a courtier in the opera industry! The matter of facing the south as king is something that would never be thought of." "Bold Huang Xie, you actually dare to be on top of my Great Qin Temple, so frivolous and flirtatious, how can you deceive me The strong men of Great Qin dare not use a sword to cut out your abdomen and dig out your heart!" As he spoke, a general walked out of the ranks of generals, holding a sword and glaring angrily.

Huang Xie was suddenly speechless by the sudden appearance of the general.

"I, Wang Mingjian, should first send someone to quickly arrest the Prince of Chu Xiong Wan today, and then kill Huang Xie and the others immediately", Wu Anjun, who was like a loud bell, was also murderous when he spoke, and suddenly made the hall full of murderous opportunities. The atmosphere was very solemn.

Ying Hou Fan Ju was just about to speak, but found that King Qin Zhao had already stood up and spoke:

"Come on, take down Huang Xie and the others, and immediately send Feiyu Cavalry to capture the Prince of Chu, Xiong Wan and others."

Ying Hou Fan Ju didn't dare to speak rashly when he heard this, and quietly retreated. When Huang Xie heard the words Fei Yu Ride, he gasped. I can't help but think silently in my heart, it's broken, God bless! Heaven forbid! Escaping from Xianyang is a life, and there is no choice but to fly feathers and return to people. If you want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next review! 1
