In the Taishi Mansion, the cool breeze was blowing, Pan Chong was drinking and admiring the moon in the courtyard of the mansion, he sat on the mat, stroking his long beard, leisurely.

"What's so good about old decay? You can watch it for so long. Pan Chong's tone was calm and light.

"Hahaha, it turns out that the Taishi has already found out." The black shadow on the rockery swept down and landed steadily opposite Pan Chong, it seemed that the light skill was very powerful.

"Why doesn't the Taishi call people? Aren't you afraid that I will stab you? "This man is dressed in a black suit, and he can't see his face clearly.

"If I am in danger, with Your Excellency's kung fu, within a hundred steps, the old man will die." Pan Chong still admired the moon leisurely, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Hahaha, he is worthy of being a master, he is not surprised by changes, he is not afraid of danger, and he admires and admires him." The man in black arched his hand.

Pan Chong did not answer, and sat very calmly.

"The Taishi will go on the expedition tomorrow, why don't you rest?"

"Did you come here to talk to me? The old man doesn't have that much time to spare. ”

The man in black followed Pan Chong's eyes and looked at the moon, the moon was bright and bright: "Could it be that the Taishi plans to look at this moon overnight?" ”

Pan Chong shook his head, reluctant to say more.

"The master doesn't ask me about my identity, what are you doing here?"

"If you want to say it, just say it, don't say it, the old man doesn't have the heart to go around in circles with you." Pan Chong drank a jue of wine.

"Okay, then I won't go around in circles, can the master know Shimen Cliff?"

The wine lord in Pan Chong's hand suddenly fell to the ground: "How did you know about Shimen Cliff." ”

"Hahaha, Master Taishi, don't care how I know, you tell me what you know."

"I have no comment on the old age." Pan Chong said resolutely.

"Could it be that Shimen Cliff is more important than your life." The man in black pulled out the dagger tied to his arm and swung it directly at Pan Chong's neck an inch away.

Pan Chong remained motionless, closing his eyes and concentrating.

"Why don't you hide!"

"You won't kill, you won't talk so much nonsense if you really want to kill me." Pan Chong opened his eyes and looked at the moon again.

The man in black put away his dagger: "Master Pan, do you disregard the lives of your wife, daughter, and son?!" ”

"Hmph, listen to me." Pan Chong did not have any regret on his face.

The black-clothed man's heart tightened, the three words "Shimen Cliff" were only written on the white silk given to him by the merchant before he died, Pan Chong didn't even want the life of his family in order to keep this secret, it seems that this is something related to the national fortune of the Chu State. Xiong Lu knew that Pan Chong was his father's trusted minister, helped his father succeed to the throne, made great contributions, even so, Xiong Lu did not want to believe him, he was his father's beloved minister, a confidant, but not necessarily will surrender to himself, Xiong Lu still has a lot of things to solve, he deeply feels the insignificance of his power, even if he learns to forbear, learn to disguise, he can't withstand the covetousness of others for his throne one after another, and the desire for his power. After becoming the king of Chu, he was even more insecure than when he was the prince, and he wanted to come to Pan Chong for help a long time ago, but doubt and dignity made him give up again and again, and Xiong Lu would rather come in person in disguise to ask him than condescend to ask him.

Xiong Lu is now in a very dangerous situation, every step is frightening, one wrong step will be a loss, he does not have his own army, there are not enough talents to use, and the forces in the DPRK and China are chaotic and complicated...... He was extremely insecure, he felt desperate to make this decision, he very much wanted someone who could guide him, since Pan Chong could help his father out of the predicament, why couldn't he help him out of the predicament. Pan Chong will go out tomorrow to quell the rebellion in Qunshu, and Xiong Lu will come to explore tonight.

"Master Pan, if you tell me about Shimen Cliff, I can give you whatever you want." When the bear couple saw that Pan Chong's hard was not good, he came to the soft one.

"Hahaha, Xiao'er, I don't lack anything in my life, and you may not be able to give what I want." Pan Chong looked at him like a joke.

"What the master wants, you might as well say it."

"Only the breeze on the river, the bright moon in the mountains." Pan Chong lifted the other wine on the case, saluted the bright moon, and took a sip.

Facing the fear of his life, he can still be so free and easy, and it is really the first time for Xiong Lu to see it: "Taishi, you have achieved fame, do you want to retire to Linquan?" ”

Pan Chong looked at him and was silent.

The bear couple stood aside, looking at this strange old man, who was still tense just now, but now the atmosphere has eased a lot.

"Taishi, you've been looking at the moon for a long time."

Pan Chong finally spoke: "The world is changing, but the moon is eternal, whether it is the Xia Dynasty, or the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty, it has always hung in the sky, looking at the division and merger of the world, looking at history, it is all about the rise and fall, the prosperity must decline, and people have staged too many farces because of interests." I, O moonlight, want to be quiet and watch you fooling down there. ”

Strange old man, really weird, said a lot of things I didn't understand......

"Taishi, the moon overlooks the world, it must know a lot of things, it sees all the joys, sorrows and sorrows in the world, you are not it, how can you say that it is calm, maybe it is calm on the outside, but restless on the inside, do you still want to be the moon?"

"I know my heart, you don't care if I want to be it or not."

The bear couple returned in vain, Pan Chong talked so much nonsense with him, and he couldn't get a clue for a long time.

Because King Chu Mu expanded his territory without restraint, the Chu State had been reckless for many years, and it was difficult to recruit soldiers from the outside, on the contrary, if the Ao clan had cultivated an unknown number of elites after years of careful consideration, Cheng Jia and Pan Chong went out to quell the rebellion during the period of emptiness within the Chu State.

At this time, Wu Shen came in from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Qin State will come tomorrow, will you see it or not?" ”

This is also a solution, and the bear couple has a plan: "See, you tell the messenger that the king of Ming Japan will play with the envoy." ”

"No."

In the eyes of outsiders, the bear couple finally came into contact with some national affairs, although they still played with the envoy......

The thunderstorms of the past few days have been exchanged for a wonderful sunny day, cloudless and sunny.

Xiong Lu and the envoy of the Qin State made an appointment to meet in the palace, and the envoy of the Qin State wore a black veil and got off the car.

"You are the envoy of the Qin State, Jian Zhu! Hahaha, what a coincidence, we met. Xiong said happily.

Lian Yin Doucheng asked: "It turns out that the king has seen the envoy of Jianzhu." ”

"Dou Lianyin, you step back first, and I'll chat with the Qin envoy."

"No." Dou Cheng retired.

Fan Yu met awkwardly with Xiong Lu again, because the Jin State wanted to hold an alliance with Song Gong, Chen Hou, Wei Hou, Zheng Bo, Xu Nan, and Cao Bo in Xincheng, and the Qin State also planned to have a formal alliance ceremony with the Chu State, because Fan Yu had a meritorious service in diplomacy with the Chu State, and this time in the court, Fan Yu had no reason to refuse.
