"Idiot! Idiot! Who gave you the courage to kill the eldest son of Wu Guo! The son of King Wu Qingji? ”

"Die! Why don't you die! ”

In the palace of the king of Chu, Bai Gongsheng almost fainted when he heard the news that Gongzi Heng's mansion was besieged by his own soldiers and was set on fire.

At that time, Xiong Yiyi received a report from one of Zixi's entourage, and after knowing that Zixi and Shen Baoxu had hidden in Wu Heng's mansion, he didn't care, and directly led his soldiers and horses to besiege him.

Just a proton of Wu State, Xiong Yiyi didn't pay attention to it at all.

What's more, there is a feud between Wu and Chu, and Xiong Yiyi and other rebel soldiers can take this opportunity to take revenge.

So, for unknown reasons, the rebels burned Gongzi Heng's mansion and found dozens of flesh-and-blood corpses.

Among them, there is a young man's corpse, about eight or nine years old, and his vague physical characteristics are very similar to Gongzi Heng......

Bai Gongsheng, who learned the news, was so angry that he was even more frightened in his heart.

He is now just controlling the King of Chu Xiong Zhen and Yingdu, and he has a solid reputation for committing rebellion, if he offends the Wu State again, isn't he looking for death?

Wu Heng is the eldest son of Qingji, the son of Wu Guo, and now he died in Yingdu for unknown reasons, or was killed by Bai Gongsheng's people.

How can Qingji give up?

Without Wu Guo's backing, Bai Gongsheng really didn't have much confidence to face the upcoming Qin Wang's division.

At this time, Xiong Yiyi, who was reprimanded by Bai Gongsheng, knelt on the ground very aggrieved, wanting to beg Bai Gongsheng's forgiveness, but he didn't know where to speak.

Seeing this, Shi Qi, who was on the side, couldn't help sighing, and stepped forward and said, "Lord, stop your anger." ”

"Anger? Shi Qi, how do you let me calm my anger? ”

Bai Gongsheng pointed indignantly at Xiong Yifang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly: "The death of Gongzi Heng, Wu Guo will never be good!" ”

"How do you ask me to appease King Wu's anger?"

Hearing this, Shi Qi shook his head and said, "Lord, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to scold Xiong Yiyi again." It is imperative that the lord send an envoy to Jinling as soon as possible to make amends to Wu Wang Qingji. ”

What Shi Qi said is not unreasonable.

The movement of that fire was too loud to hide.

"Shi Qi, in your opinion, how should I make amends?"

Bai Gongsheng asked with a frown.

"Cut the land. In the name of the king of Chu, the lord can cede all the ten cities bordering the state of Wu, including Qianyi, Liuyi, and Yingshi in the east of the state of Chu, to the state of Wu, so as to seek the forgiveness of the king of Wu. ”

"This ......"

Bai Gongsheng gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Qi, it's not that I don't want to cut the land, it's just that this can calm the thunderous anger of Wu Wang Qingji?" ”

"But give it a try!"

Shi Qi said in a deep voice: "Wu Wang Qingji is a generation of male masters, such people are often mean and unkind, take the country's righteousness and their own interests first. ”

"If you can exchange one son for ten cities and a radius of hundreds of miles of land, it will not be a good deal for Qingji."

"Good!"

Bai Gongsheng finally agreed.

……

The capital of Wu State, Jinling.

At this time, Qingji didn't know that his son Wu Heng had died in Yingdu.

When he heard that the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng occurred in Yingdu, Qingji's heart was very relieved, and he was a little gloating.

A Chu State that is mired in civil strife is undoubtedly what Qingji is most willing to see.

Because Qingji has been scheduled for the beginning of spring next year, he will officially send troops to attack Chu.

How to deal with the state of Chu, which was already in chaos at that time?

Of course, you can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and Qingji's short-term goal is to split the Chu State, and then have to become a vassal state of the Wu State, and there is no power to turn over from then on.

After all, the territory of the Chu State was too vast, and even if the Wu army captured it, it would be difficult to hold it.

Qingji's idea was that instead of the thankless effort to quell the rebellion everywhere, it was better to support a puppet king of Chu and let himself be manipulated behind his back.

On the Fengtian Temple.

Qingji is wearing a dark crown robe, wearing a flat sky crown, and is sitting on the throne.

The ministers of Wu State, as always, sat down with Qingji to discuss politics and discuss the current state politics of Wu State.

At this time, a stubborn guard entered the Fengtian Palace, bowed to Qingji on the throne and said, "King, the envoy of the Chu State Qu Gu asks to see you. ”

"The envoy of the State of Chu? Yingdu is here? ”

"Exactly."

"Xuan!"

The envoy of the Chu State who came from Yingdu was naturally Bai Gongsheng's person.

According to the information that Qingji had obtained before, Bai Gongsheng basically controlled Yingdu and several surrounding cities, and was still gradually expanding.

However, I don't know why, after Bai Gongsheng's rebels occupied Yingdu, they implemented extremely strict control, and they were not allowed to enter or leave without Bai Gongsheng's warrant.

So Qingji pondered that Bai Gongsheng might still be busy purging the opposition in Yingdu City.

Regarding the specific situation of Yingdu, even if Qingji has a powerful intelligence agency like the Black Ice Terrace, he can't know about it.

As for the current envoy of the Chu State, Qu Gu, his approach is a bit strange.

Because generally speaking, if the envoy wants to meet Qingji, he has to go through a more cumbersome process, at least a few days in advance to arrive in Jinling, and then ask to see Qingji.

However, considering the connection between himself and Bai Gongsheng, Qingji didn't think about it at this time, so he asked Qu Gu to take him to Fengtian Palace.

Qu Gu, who stepped into the Fengtian Palace, was extremely uneasy in his heart.

Guy Qu Gu was afraid of the moody Wu Wang Qingji, and after learning of Gongzi Heng's death, he would be furious and drag him out to split his body, or throw him into an oil pot to cook and kill.

"Minister, Qu Gu, the envoy of the State of Chu, see King Wu! Wan Wan of King Wu! ”

Qu Gu hurriedly bowed to Qingji on the throne.

Qingji smiled kindly: "Qu Zi doesn't have to be polite. Come, give a seat! ”

"Xie Wu Wang!"

Qu Gu trembled and owed half of his body, sitting on the futon, like sitting on pins and needles.

However, now, Qu Gu had to pick up a bamboo slip in his hand, and said stubbornly: "King Wu, this is the handwritten letter of Yin Baigong (Mi Sheng), the new commander of my Chu State, please take a look at it!" ”

Qingji waved his hand and motioned to the CRRC Fu Lingjiao, who was standing on the side, to pick up the bamboo slips.

The original Qingji was a kind of non-angry and self-threatening appearance, but after reading Bai Gongsheng's handwriting, he couldn't help but change his face.

Even if he has been in the top position for a long time, he has developed a clear and unarrogant attitude of seeing everything for many years, and after reading the words on this bamboo slip, he can't help but have a headache and change color.

Qu Gu lowered his head, and secretly said that it was not good.

The son died tragically like this, how could the father who learned of the death swallow his anger?

Qu Gu originally planned to find Qingji in private and confess to this matter.

It's a pity that Bai Gongsheng's request to Qu Gu was to hand over the handwritten letter to Qingji as soon as possible.

Because once Qingji learns of Gongzi Heng's death, it is very likely that he will lose his mind, and then desperately send troops to attack Chu to avenge his son.

When the time comes, even if it is Qingji himself, I am afraid that he will not easily take back his fate!

As the king of a country, how can he change his order overnight?
