With a gesture, the wooden boat returned to Nagisa Palace.

went ashore.

"What does the Qin envoy think?" Xiong asked

Fan Yu's face was covered by a black veil, and he couldn't see what his expression was, but his eyes were blank, and his forehead was oozing with sweat, which looked like he was seasick.

"Thank you King Chu for your concern, the foreign ministers are much better." Fan Yu was supported by the attendants.

"Well, let's go back and rest first."

Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from far and near, her voice was delicate, sweet, and her tone was full of joy: "Your Majesty, where have you been?" ”

Fan Yu looked at it, and was afraid that she would be wrong, so she looked at it again, this woman couldn't be more familiar, this is Xu Caier's sister, Xu Lu!

Fan Yu broke free from the hand of the waiter and froze in place.

Xiong Lu smiled dotingly at Xu Lu: "Yancui, don't run, be careful of tripping over your clothes." ”

Fan Yu quickly searched for the answer in his head, what? Why is Xu Lu here? She changed her name to Emerald?

The chamberlain wanted to support Fan Yu again, but Fan Yu refused, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has not yet made it clear when he thinks of a very important matter, please move to another place and let the ministers be clear." ”

Xu Lu looked at the plainly dressed and bold Qin envoy, and then looked at the bear couple, waiting obediently on the side.

Xiong Lu's face was displeased: "This king also has important things to deal with now, so Qin Envoy should go back and rest as soon as possible." After speaking, Xiong Lu hugged Xu Lu's fragrant shoulders and left.

Fan Yu looked at the backs of Xiong Lu and Xu Lu, Xiong Liang's fingers also scraped the tip of Xu Lu's nose from time to time, Xu Lu intimately helped Xiong Lu smooth his sideburns, this scene was so good, Fan Yu had mixed feelings in his heart.

After several days, Fan Yu received the news: the foreign affairs with the Qin State were handed over to Ling Yin Chengjia. In other words, the king of Chu will not pay attention to the slightest matter of Qin.

Fan Yu looked at the words on the bamboo slips, and there was nowhere to go in his heart, and he was so depressed that he panicked. came to eat behind closed doors with official business, and intentionally reminded him of the dangers around him, but he couldn't say anything because of the hidden identity. Xu Lu is a faction of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the secret agents placed by the Jin Kingdom beside the bear couple, it is difficult to prevent that there will be no danger one day, and these can't be said to him personally, it's too aggrieved, hey!

Fan Yu rushed to Ling Yin's Mansion and saw Cheng Jia.

"The state affairs have been busy these days, so the Qin envoy has waited for so long, and he is old and sluggish." Cheng Jia is still as friendly and polite as ever.

"It's okay, so that Lord Yin can keep me time in his busy schedule, and I am grateful." Fan Yu arched his hand.

"Thank you Qin Envoy for your understanding, Qin Envoy came this time to come for the New City Alliance led by the Jin Kingdom, I don't know what Qin Gong thinks?" Cheng Jia got straight to the point.

Behind the screen, Rui Xuan bought off the house slaves in the house and was carefully listening to the conversation between Fan Yu and Cheng Jia.

"The Jin people have repeatedly provoked the bottom line of the Qin people, and used the tricks to deceive the Jin State back, not only that, but the Jin State also blocked the Taolin Fortress, making the Qin State lose contact with the Eastern States, and clearly isolated the Qin State. Now that the Jin State is meeting in Xincheng in order to consolidate its power, Qin Gong can't sleep at night, thinking about strategies day and night, hoping that his ally Chu State can understand the unspeakable current situation of Qin State, so he sent foreign ministers to Chu State to ask for advice. Fan Yu was sincere.

Faced with the blockade of the Jin state, the Qin state longed for the help of its allies. Before Xiong Lu ascended the throne, all countries, including the Jin State, were suppressed by the Chu State for a long time, and the Chen State and the Zheng State became vassals of the Chu State...... However, as soon as Shang Chen died, the Jin State returned to the status of the leader of the countries, and Lu Wengong hurriedly visited the Jin Duke to get married; Wei Guo also entrusted Lu Wengong to help clarify because he was a vassal of Chu State with Chen State before, and he did not want to be the meat of the Jin State; Not only is this the case for defending the country, Zheng Mugong sang "Hong Yan" with poetry and words to show Zheng Guo's weakness and win sympathy......

Cheng Jia knows the great changes in the current situation, but the internal worries have not been solved, so how can the external troubles be solved. Cheng Jia pondered for a long time, and didn't want to disappoint the Qin State: "Qin envoy, the Chu State is now facing internal and external troubles, and you also know that my king is not enthusiastic about the government, and the affairs of the court are now handled by me alone. But please believe that if the state of Chu wants to return to the past, it is indispensable to form an alliance with Qin, and also ask the envoy of Qin to go back and tell the Duke of Qin that Qin and Chu will definitely have a formal alliance day, please give Chu some time, it will not take too long, before that, do not have to confront Jin head-on, whether it is for Qin or Chu, now it is powerless to confront Jin, Chu is now too busy to take care of itself, if it is now officially announced to the world with Qin to form an alliance of military divisions, I am afraid it will be a direct provocation to Jin, which will make matters worse for both countries. Cheng Jia thought about a lot of things, and he tried his best to make Fan Yu understand.

"What Cheng Lingyin means is that Qin and Chu do not have the strength to confront Jin at present, Qin needs to recuperate after the war, Chu is worried about internal and external troubles, the king of Chu has just ascended, and the government and the opposition need to be rectified. Does that mean? Fan Yu confirmed carefully.

"Yes, yes, that's what the old man meant." Cheng Jia knows the current state of his king, it is really difficult to convince people that there will be potential, giving people hope, fortunately, the Qin envoy actually believed, if the Chu State can concentrate on governing the country in the short term, the Qin State is really a good ally, barely ranking third among the countries, and currently intends to ally with the Chu State, which can play a deterrent role in the short term, at least it can help the Chu State resist the encroachment other than the Jin State, and what the Chu State has to do in the future is to double the reward to the Qin State, and it is worth it.

Of course Fan Yu will believe it, no matter how bearish the bear is, he will be a good king of Chu, even more powerful than his father and grandfather, but if there are no hidden dangers around him, it will not work.

"Lord Ling Yin, I can't see the king, there is something related to his life, please tell him." Fan Yu arched his hand.

Cheng Jia was startled, and his face was red in a hurry: "Oops! Why didn't Qin Envoy say it earlier, this matter should be put first! ”

"There is a favorite concubine by the side of the King of Chu, named Yancui, her real name is Xu Lu, she is the servant of Zhao Dun, the Zhengqing of the Jin State, I don't know why she appeared in the Chu State, but I know that her appearance will definitely be unfavorable to the Chu State." The words Fan Yu said hit Cheng Jia's heart.

Xu Lu became the favorite concubine of the king of Chu, which means that someone in the upper echelons of the Chu State colluded with the Jin State.
