The main hall of the palace of Qingzhou Mansion.

"Xuan, the envoy of Qingzhou, Xun will come to see you. ”

A Confucian scholar dressed in white entered the main hall under the leadership of the soldiers, only to see him see the king of Xiang respectfully salute a gentleman, and then said: "Xiaguan, Sima Xun of the Qingzhou march will meet the king of Xiang." ”

The king of Xiang sat in the high hall, looked at Xun Hui and said: "Since I have known the prince for 30 years, I have hunted on the banks of the Xiangshui River many times, and I have been longing for the demeanor of the Qingwang for a long time.

Xun Hui bowed down respectfully and nodded, and said: "My king knows that the general should be the hero of the world, and the special minister presented two Jiuyang Turning Pills to show his thoughts and respect for the King of Xiang. After speaking, he took out a white jade bottle from his sleeve, and after uncorking the bottle, the rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire hall, and the ministers smelled the incense, and their spirits were hundredfold and clear.

"My king knows that the king of Hunan is determined to be in the world, and now the government and the opposition are in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living, and they want to conspire with the king of Hunan to conspire with the world affairs. ”

King Xiang smiled with his eyes, and looked at Situ Yun on the side meaningfully.

Situ Yun understood, stood up and walked to the center of the hall to look at Xun Hui and asked: "I, the people of Xiangzhou, eat the Heavenly Dynasty, and I am a subject of the Heavenly Dynasty.

Xun Hui was neither humble nor silent, and saluted and said, "Sir, this is a bad word. Qingzhou is a subject of the Heavenly Empire, I am even more loyal to the country, the king of Xiang and the king of Qing are old friends, and now Mr. refers to the deer as a horse, will not the king of Xiang be more disloyal and unrighteous?"

Situ Yun's face changed, and he asked sharply: "What you say, conspiring with the world's major affairs, isn't it a rebellious word? No matter how clever you are, you will not escape the crime of rebellion." ”

Xun Hui smiled and said: "Sir, dare to ask if the world today is the world of Emperor Ze? Can the Celestial Empire have the strong voice of the beginning? Can the people of today regain the happiness of the past? If it weren't for the fact that my king and the king of Hunan jointly pacified the rebellion in southern Hunan, the people might have a place to live now? As a courtier, you should be loyal to the country, worry about the Son of Heaven's possessions, solve the Son of Heaven's worries, help the world, and return the people to a prosperous peace!"

Situ Yun was speechless by Xun Hui's repeated questions, and looked at Xun Hui with a blow of his beard and glaring at him.

"Mr. is a retainer of the King of Xiang, and he should share his worries for the King of Hunan and the people in the world. Now that the Zhongzhou Dynasty is young, the Son of Heaven is young, the Demon Queen is hanging the curtain to listen to the government, and how many important ministers among the hundreds of officials have been brutalized, do we have to sit idly by and let the Zhongzhou Dynasty fall apart in the hands of traitors? Sir, can you and I bear this infamy?"

Xun Hui looked up slightly at the ministers on the left and right, and saw a man with an extraordinary bearing and a lupine scarf nodding at him, smiling slightly, thinking that this person was Xiangzhou Zhuge Qing Yes, so he nodded slightly and returned the salute.

Situ Yunzheng wanted to refute: "This ......"

King Xiang coughed, beckoned, and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

Situ Yun saw that King Xiang was glaring at him, so he stepped aside and sat down.

The king of Xiang looked at Xun Hui meaningfully and said: "If you live in the temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king." Lonely is the king of Xiangzhou, so it is natural to protect the peace of Xiangzhou and create a well-being. ”

"It's a pity! It's a pity! I didn't expect that the world-famous King of Hunan has long lost his pride and ambition! Who else is there to talk about heroes in the past and now! Sad, lamentable. The land of projectiles, the ears of small patterns. Xun Hui sighed.

"The little marching Sima, dare to insult the King of Xiang, watch the fight!" A military general heard Xun Hui ridicule the King of Xiang like this, jumped like thunder, rushed up with a strong step, picked up his fist and waved towards Xun Hui, and Xun Hui lost his feet, his posture was graceful, and between several figures, he dodged the attack of the general, like a lost phantom.

"Bold!"

"Lord~"

"Stand down!"

"Yes. ”

The king of Xiang scolded the military general to retreat, and then said to Xun Hui: "The meaning of the green king, I hope that Xun will come to explain it in detail." ”

"The lower officials don't dare to deceive the King of Xiang, Qingzhou conquered Le'an City this time, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, but there are twenty cultivators in the refining and refining qi realm and ten monks in the refining and refining god realm. The Zhongzhou Dynasty had less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there were only two or three cultivators in the refining and refining qi realm, and there were no cultivators in the refining and refining qi realm. My Qingzhou army to take Le'an City is just a matter of raising your hand, you can attack and retreat. However, King Qing often talked about his friendship with the King of Xiang, so he sent his ministers to show the will of our king, and shared the city of Le'an with the King of Xiang, and shared the things he obtained. ”

King Xiang said quietly: "King Qing remembered the feelings of the past, and Gu Ming felt it in his heart. However, Le'an City is the city of the Celestial Empire, if you raise an army to fight against it, how dare you deserve this crime of rebellion?"

Xun Hui said respectfully: "The king of Xiang is worry-free, if the traitorous ministers and demon queens are in charge today, the king of Xiang can raise the banner of the Qing monarch with my king, and the world will respond to every call." The king of Xiang sent troops to intercept the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, cut their wings, and then stationed in Le'an City, divided and ruled equally. If you find "A Thousand Armies", the rubbing cost will be taken, and the pearls in the sea will be taken half. ”

As soon as Xun Hui finished speaking, Situ Yun immediately laughed and said: "It's ridiculous, my Xiangzhou soldiers are strong and strong, strange people and strange people are like clouds, taking that small city is like a bag, why should I divide and govern with others equally." ”

"Sir, in addition to Zhongzhou, don't forget the two states of Luohe in the north, don't live in a dream. ”

Xun Hui scolded angrily: "Shameless!"

King Xiang looked at Zhuge Qing and saw Zhuge Qing nodding, so he stood up, walked to Xun Hui with a serious face, and suddenly chuckled a few times and said, "Xun Envoy, what a sharp mouth." I already know the meaning of the green king. It's just a matter of unity, my monarch and ministers still need to be discussed, so please ask the envoy to wait at the post house first, how about it?"

Xun Hui confronted the king of Xiang and said: "It is related to the foundation of Qingzhou, and I hope that the king of Xiang will think twice." ”

King Xiang chuckled lightly and signaled Xun Hui to leave, Xun Hui returned the salute and left the hall.

Out of the main hall, Xun Hui followed the waiter in the direction of the post house, and suddenly saw a person passing not far away, seeing that this person was not dressed like a person from Xiangzhou, thinking that it was from Zhongzhou, but don't spoil my big thing.

Out of the main hall, Xun Hui followed the waiter in the direction of the post house, and suddenly saw a person passing not far away, seeing that this person was not dressed like a person from Xiangzhou, thinking that it was from Zhongzhou, but don't spoil my big thing.

In the main hall of the Xiangzhou Palace, His Royal Highness's ministers discussed a lot, as if the two forces were clearly distinguished, one side thought that they were united, and the other side thought that they could not.

King Xiang returned to the high hall and sat down, looked at the important ministers below and asked, "Xun Lai makes the will, what do you think?"

"My lord, the minister thinks that Qingzhou is uneasy and kind, if he unites with Qingzhou at this time, he is afraid that he will seek skin with the tiger. ”

"The minister doesn't think so, the lord is in the world, this is a good time, first join forces with Qingzhou to capture Le'an City, and then fight against the northern forces to weaken the strength of Zhongzhou. ”

"Lord Liu, you think too simply, what should you do if Qingzhou is on the verge of defection?"

"Zida ......"

"Boyan, what do you think?" asked King Xiang as he looked at Zhuge Qing.

Zhuge Qing replied: "Vertical and horizontal." ”

King Xiang nodded slightly, and agreed with Zhuge Qing's statement very much.

Just when the ministers were talking, the soldiers outside the palace passed again: "Lord Qi, the envoy of the Heavenly Dynasty has come to ask for an audience." ”
