Xu Bao and Ji Lan both thought of each other in their hearts, and the two of them lingered gently all night, eager to melt each other into their bodies.

The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom through the window, Xu Bao slowly opened his sleepy eyes, sat up and looked at Lan'er sleeping beside him tenderly, his heart was full of happiness.

Just when Xu Bao was looking forward to the future of himself and his beloved, a knock on the door shouted: "Big brother, are you awake?" Qin's secret envoy arrived? ”

When Xu Bao heard it, it was Wang Qian, a reckless stinky boy, who had not opened the door to go out yet, and came to knock on his door early in the morning.

But when Xu Bao heard that someone from the Qin State was coming, he knew that it was the secret envoy of the Lu Buwei faction of the Qin State.

Xu Bao put on a piece of clothing, walked to the door and opened the door, closed it casually, looked at Wang Qian, and reprimanded: "Stinky boy, can you stop yelling early in the morning to knock on my door." You'll have to wait for me to get up. ”

"Big brother, didn't I see the secret envoy of the Qin State coming, I'm afraid of delaying you for something important? Did I rush over to call you? ”

"Okay, I have to wash up, you first let that secret envoy wait for me in the back hall, this time it is estimated that Lu Buwei of the Qin State specially arranged someone to discuss some things with me."

"Hmmm! Okay, big brother. I'll arrange for it to go. ”

Wang Jian left in a hurry, Xu Bao stepped into the bedroom again and closed the door, turned around and saw Lan'er lying on the bed dressed.

"Husband, did the Qin State send someone?"

"Hmmm! It is estimated that I helped Qin Guo once this time, so I sent a secret envoy to pass something on to me. ”

"Husband, you should hurry up and wash up, don't let the people of Qin wait for a long time."

"Don't be in a hurry, what's wrong with the people sent by the Qin State, how about waiting for a long time?"

"Husband, you still have to get down to business."

Ji Lan walked up to Xu Bao, dressed her husband, dressed Xu Bao, and shouted to make water for Xu Bao to wash up.

Seeing that Ji Lan didn't want to delay her business, Xu Bao just finished washing up and walked to the back hall.

The secret envoy sent by the Qin State was arranged by Wang Jian in the back hall, and he was sitting and drinking water to rest.

Wang Jian sat on the side, Wang Jian looked at the door of the back hall, he didn't see his eldest brother arrive, and he was a little anxious.

But Wang Jian also knows his eldest brother's temper, no matter what country he is, he will not flatter the other party.

Xu Bao walked to the door of the back hall at this moment, Wang Jian saw it and shouted: "Big brother, you are here, this is the secret envoy of the Qin State." ”

The secret envoy of the King of Qin, who was seated, saw the arrival of Taifu Xu, and hurriedly got up and said very politely: "Qin Guo serves poetry to meet Lord Xu." ”

Hearing the name of the secret envoy of the Qin State, Xu Bao almost burst out laughing.

Holding back a smile and asking, "Serve the poem, okay, sit." Xu Bao muttered in his heart: "Damn, this can also be called a name, it is actually called eating." Damn, I really admire the name of this Qin country. ”

The secret envoy of the Qin State also sat down, and Xu Bao sat in the middle position, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

asked, "I don't know what Xiangye Lu of the Qin State sent you for?" ”

The secret envoy of the Qin State smiled and said: "My lord is really good at laughing, the Qin State has many troops sent by Lord Xu to relieve the siege this time, so that the Qin State can avoid a war." So Lu Xiangye asked me to bring some good gifts to thank Lord Xu. ”

Xu Bao glanced at the secret envoy of the Qin State, and said with a smile in his heart: "Give me another pretend, knowing that this time Lao Tzu sent troops to relieve the siege of your Qin State, just give gifts." There is definitely a purpose. I'll see what you say. ”

Before Lu Buwei of Qin sent a secret envoy again, he knew that Wei Guo Xu Taifu personally led an army of 50,000 with fewer enemies and actually returned triumphantly, and he was completely impressed by Wei Guo's Xu Taifu from the heart, and knew that Wei Guo Xu Taifu was definitely a rare genius in the world.

Therefore, he repeatedly instructed the secret envoy to respect Mrs. Xu of the country, and as long as Mrs. Xu had any requests, he could agree to come down first.

The secret envoy of the Qin State said with a smile: "Lord Xu, this time Lu Xiangye said that if Lord Xu has any requirements, as long as the Qin State can do it, it will not be ambiguous. ”

Hearing what the secret envoy of the Qin State named Shi Shi said, I understood which Lu Xiangye of the Qin State knew about his deeds in this war.

But this means that if you have any requirements, as long as Qin Guo can do it, you can do it for yourself.

But Xu Bao thought in his heart that it couldn't be so simple, this Qin State Lu Xiangye was not a simple character, and he also sent people for a purpose.

Xu Bao said loudly: "I think there are other things that Lu Xiangye sent you here, right?" ”

Hearing Xu Bao's words, Qin Guomi's envoy was shocked, but he didn't say anything, did this Master Xu Taifu understand the purpose of his coming?

Immediately, the secret envoy of the Qin State smiled and said: "Lord Xu, there, our Lu Xiangye asked me to bring a letter to Lord Xu, saying that Lord Xu will understand after reading it." ”

The secret envoy of the Qin State took out a yellow silk secret note from his arms, got up and handed it to Xu Bao,

Xu Bao took the secret note and saw that there was a big seal of Lü Buwei on it, and knew that this secret note was made by Lü Buwei himself.

Because Xu Bao knew that the ancients liked to let the literati write on their behalf, this kind of stamped with their own big seal on the secret note, which shows how much the other party attaches importance to themselves.

Xu Bao opened the secret note, looked at it, and knew in his heart that this was Lu Buwei who wanted to recruit himself into the Qin State and serve the Qin State, and the secret note also said that if he joined the Qin State, the Qin State would definitely be friendly with the Wei State forever and would not invade each other, but Xu Bao knew from this meaning that if he did not join the Qin State, there was no guarantee that the Qin State would not invade the Wei State in the future. This is a kind of meaning with a hint of coercion, but Xu Bao knows Lu Buwei's personality and understands that this is Lu Buwei's consistent style.

After reading it, Xu Bao put the secret note on the table casually, and sneered: "You go back and tell Lu Xiangye that Xu Bao understands Lu Xiangye's kindness, but I have a person who likes to never like to be led away by others, so you truthfully tell Lu Xiangye that if you are sincere, I will defend the country and Qin Guoyong and will never invade each other." But if Lu Xiangye has such an attitude in his heart, I, Xu Bao, dare to fight the Wei family and the Zhao family alone, I am not afraid of anyone in the world threatening. ”

After listening to Xu Bao's words, the secret envoy of the Qin State didn't know what Lu Xiangye said in his secret note, and looking at the tone of Mrs. Xu's words, he understood that there was a trace of anger. Hurriedly said with a smile: "Lord Xu, if there is anything that I Qin Guo has done inconsiderately, please forgive me Lord Xu." ”

When Xu Bao heard the words of this secret envoy, he wondered in his heart, could this secret envoy not be a person who blindly ignored Lu Buwei.

Xu Bao asked tentatively: "I know that the monarch of the Qin State is a generation of Ming monarchs, you can go back and bring my words to Lu Xiangye." ”

The secret envoy of the Qin State listened to Xu Bao's words and knew that Lord Xu in front of him understood the meaning of his words.

The secret envoy of the Qin State stood up and saluted: "As long as Lord Xu has any requests, our Qin State will definitely do it for Lord Xu." In the next step, I would like to thank Lord Xu for his grace in relieving the crisis. Leave! ”

After the secret envoy of the Qin State said goodbye to Xu Bao, he left the mansion in a hurry.

Wang Jian was confused when he listened to it, not knowing the meaning of the words of the secret envoy of the Qin State, and even less knowing the meaning of his eldest brother's words.

But Wang Jian was only depressed in his heart, and sat with him for an hour or two, and he couldn't understand what he was not aware of.

Xu Bao saw Wang Jian beside him, shook his head and smiled: "Stinky boy, you will learn more from Li Xin in the future, don't keep your mind wandering for a day." Just know that the army is fighting, drinking, etc. ”

"Big brother, what did the secret envoy of the Qin State mean just now?"

"Wang Qian, the secret envoy of the Qin State is actually a double-faced secret envoy, even if it is sent by Lü Buwei, it is also sent by the monarch of the Qin State. The first is to send the secret note according to Lü Buwei, and the second is that the monarch of the Qin State sincerely wants to be good with himself. Do you understand? ”

Xu Bao's explanation made Wang Jian still a little puzzled, Wang Jian shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't have the brain to think about these crooked things, it's better to leave it to the eldest brother." ”

Seeing his brother's appearance, Xu Bao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
