Xiangzhou is backed by the Xiangjiang River, and there is a lot of water in the state. The staggered rivers run through the entire Xiangzhou City, like a water city. White walls and green tiles, cruise ships come and go, arch bridges stand across the river, and pavilions and pavilions can be seen everywhere. On both sides of the street, there are many shops and busy traffic, and it is a prosperous scene.

Xiangshui nourishes this ancient city with a long history, relying on the water draft, the water of the Xiangjiang River feeds the people of Xiangzhou for generations, here, the virtuous people are like the carp crossing the river, and the beauty is like a cloud. Whether it is a dignitary or a corporal tenant farmer, there is an indescribable sense of warmth on his body. However, under this gentle surface, there is a courage and fortitude to fight against the waves.

In a post house in the city, the Qingzhou envoy Xun will sit cross-legged in the pavilion at the end of the corridor, drinking tea soup and looking at the beautiful scenery of the garden outside the pavilion, the fat golden carp in the pond swims leisurely with fish tails, and sometimes the fish swim in front of Xun Hui, exposing the water surface and waiting for Xun Hui to enjoy some fish food.

When Xun Hui was distracted, he heard a burst of laughter not far away: "Xun comes to make good Yaxing." ”

Xun saw that Zhuge Qing had arrived, so he got up and saluted back: "Brother Boyan." ”

After the ceremony, the two sat opposite each other around the small table, and Xun Hui lifted the hot tea pot boiling on the small stove to add tea soup to Zhuge Qing. Zhuge Qing sat aside, swayed the feather fan in his hand and said, "Xun Lai, remember me?"

Xun Hui smiled slightly and said: "Brother Boyan is famous for a long time, and his son has been friends for a long time. In the palace yesterday, if it weren't for Brother Boyan's help, I'm afraid there would be no half of the son's leisure today. ”

"Zichang is really a talent of eight buckets, but it is rare to be able to keep his mind and keep his mind in Xiangzhou. ”

"Let Brother Boyan laugh, and the chief dares to ask, what is the attitude of the King of Xiang towards the union?"

Zhuge Qing saw that Xun would get straight to the point, so he put the feather fan in his hand on the tea table, took a sip of tea soup, and then said: "Compared with Zichang, who has met the envoy from Zhongzhou yesterday, the King of Xiang has accepted the canonization of the Heavenly Empire, and now he is the king of Zhennan. ”

Xun Hui's hand stretched out to the teapot paused in the air, and then asked, "It seems that Zichang still has the trust of the Qing King, and he returned in vain." ”

Zhuge Qing looked at Xun Hui, saw that Xun Hui had no look of loss on his face, and then said, "Zichang, what do you think of King Xiang?"

Xun Hui's eyes were clear, and seeing that Zhuge Qing did not mention the official name of King Zhennan again, he then said: "King Xiang, resourceful, meritocracy, is the hero of the matter. ”

Zhuge Qing smiled and asked, "Compared with the Qing King, who is better?"

Xun Hui said humbly: "My king Fengshen is handsome, ambitious, equal to the king of Xiang, and is a true hero in the world." ”

"On the heroes of the world, who is the master of ups and downs. Zhuge Qing laughed, picked up the teacup and said, "Zichang, respect the heroes of the world." ”

After the two drank tea, they looked at the koi in the pond, and were silent for a while, and after a while, Xun Hui suddenly said: "Brother Boyan, what do you think of the current situation. ”

Zhuge Qing smiled, pointed to the pond next to him with the feather fan in his hand and said: "Today, like this pond of green water, the forces of the five states are these koi, the bigger they are, the more food they can grab, and of course the fatter they grow." The smaller koi will either muddy the water or join forces to snatch food from the mouths of the big-headed koi, or they will always be the ears of the fish. ”

"Brother Boyan, the metaphor is good. Xun Hui picked up the teacup and continued: "Zichang replaces wine with tea, and respects Brother Boyan." ”

After putting down the teacup, Zhuge Qing said: "Don't hide it from the son, if Xiangzhou and Qingzhou are raised side by side, the son chief also needs to dispel the concerns of the king of Xiang." ”

Xun saw Zhuge Qing solemnly, so he replied: "Brother Boyan, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zhuge Qing saw Xun Hui's solemn face, and continued: "It is a wise move for Qingzhou and Xiangzhou to unite, and it is very good for Qingwang to have this intention, but how can he ensure that Qingwang will stick to the covenant and hold great things together?"

"Zichang understands that what Brother Boyan said is reasonable. To tell the truth, although Qingzhou is strong and strong, but now the battle in the world is still about money, food, strong horses and elite soldiers, but the battle of cultivators. ”

"Zichang, even so, the cultivation force behind Qingzhou is comparable to other states. ”

"Brother Boyan, this is a bad statement. It is true that Qingzhou has the support of the Xiuzhen sect behind it, but the Xiuzhen forces in other states are not bad. Especially in Hezhou, the whole nest of the secret sect in the extremely cold land in the north was dispatched, and Hezhou was taken within one day, if it weren't for the Tiance Mansion's early planning and absorption of many people from the great sect of cultivation, I am afraid that the land of Luobei would have already become the world of cultivators. ”

Xun Hui paused and continued: "Now Luozhou has always been bent to welcome the Zhongzhou Celestial Empire, constantly seeking benefits from Zhongzhou, and has become the largest state in the world. The funny thing is that the Celestial Empire thinks it can control Luozhou, but in fact it raises tigers. Nahezhou is within the Celestial Empire, and I don't know how many eyeliners have been secretly inserted, and how many wealthy families have been subdued. ”

Zhuge Qing listened carefully to Xun Hui's analysis of the situation in the world, and did not hurry to help him fill the teacup with tea soup, Xun Hui drank the tea soup in one gulp, and the more he talked, the more excited he became: "I miss Xiangnan, and since the year before last, I have balanced the strength with Luobei, and I am equal." Now, if Luobei is allowed to grow, how can there be a place for Xiangzhou and Qingzhou to survive in the future. Qingzhou has the support of the South China Sea Xiuzhen sect, and Xiangzhou also has the support of the western Xiuzhen sect. ”

"Zichang, I admire Boyan for being able to see the situation in the world so thoroughly. Zhuge Qing smiled and nodded, and picked up the teacup to salute Xunhui.

Xun Hui put down the teacup and said: "Brother Boyan, Qingzhou and Xiangzhou are both lost, at this critical moment, how can I have two hearts in Qingzhou?"

Zhuge Qing shook his feather fan and asked, "Zichang, can you represent the Qingwang?"

Seeing Zhuge Qing ask, Xun Hui looked at Zhuge Qing seriously, and then stretched out his right hand and made a sword finger, slashing at the wrist of his left hand, and blood overflowed from the wound.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing hurriedly said, "Zichang, what is this for?"

Xun Hui did not answer, the thumb of his right hand smeared some red blood on the wound, put it on his lips to see the smear, and in a blink of an eye, Xun Hui's lips were full of blood, and then Xun Hui respectfully bowed to Zhuge Qing and said: "Brother Boyan, the sun and the moon can be seen in heaven and earth, and the son swears by blood, if Qingzhou has half a heart, even if the son chief fights for this life, he will have to deal with it, if he breaks his promise, he will be crushed." ”

Zhuge Qing saw that Xun Hui made such a solemn blood oath, so the feather fan also crossed his wrist, Zhuge Qing smeared the blood on his lips with his fingers, bowed to Xun Hui and said: "Zichang, the sun and the moon can be seen in heaven and earth, and Xiangzhou will work together with Qingzhou to win the world." If you violate this oath, ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart. ”

Xun will solemnly return the gift.

Zhuge Qing said: "Zichang, since the blood oath of the alliance, Qingzhou and Xiangzhou are one. The king of Xiang pretended to be canonized by the Celestial Empire, and raised troops to attack the soldiers and monks stationed outside the city of Le'an in Qingzhou. Boyan has a plan, please enter the urn, is the son willing to listen?"

"I want to hear about it. ”

The corners of Zhuge Qing's mouth rose, and he asked Xun Hui: "The Hunan army attacked the Qing soldiers, and the Qing soldiers pretended to be defeated and retreated. Lead the Zhongzhou Celestial Empire into the urn, and you and I will attack it together. After the deed is done, how about you and I enter Le'an City together?"

"That's a good idea. ”

"If you find the relics of the soldier saint, you and I will share it. However, this city lord of Le'an City is a general's talent, but he can't be killed. ”

Xun Hui sighed and said: "Chen Yuqing has the courage to conquer and kill, and the talent of military and political affairs. It's just a pity, this Heavenly Dynasty is mediocre, and how many loyal and good people in the world have been murdered. Hey, Chen Yuqing has a deep hatred with the Celestial Empire, but because of the Qingxiang Erzhou, I am afraid that he is unwilling to bow his head. ”

Zhuge Qing smiled slightly, waved his feather fan lightly, and said: "Chen Yuqing is a talented person, he will not give up on the people of this city." ”

“......”

"The trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. ”

"I hope this time I will live up to you and me, take revenge, and return the world to a prosperous peace. ”

"Sheng Shi Taiping? yes, I haven't seen it for a long time. ”

“......”

Zhuge Qing and Xun Hui sat together, brewing tea and talking about the world, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

"The son is long, the king of Qingzhou wins people, and Qingzhou is worry-free. Zhuge Qing stood up and said goodbye, and then said: "I know everything about King Qing and the son's intentions, so I will go to report to King Xiang." ”

"There is labor. ”
