Zheng Guo left Xianyang and, accompanied by the Korean envoy Han Zhi, headed east to Xinzheng.

Xinzheng was originally the capital of Zheng Guo, but later Korea conquered Zheng Guo and then moved its capital here and named it Xinzheng.

And Zheng Guo's ancestor was originally from Zheng Guo, so he was given this name that is easy to confuse.

Therefore, in the depths of Zheng Guo's heart, he does not have a special impression of South Korea, and his name constantly reminds him that he was originally from Zheng Guo.

Although the family members have been secretly taken to Xianyang, Zheng Guo's old house and foundation are still in Xinzheng, and now that he has the opportunity to return to his homeland, he is of course in a hurry.

From Xianyang to Xinzheng, you must pass through Luoyi.

The two of them led the team to submit the documents for customs clearance at Hangu Pass, passed through Sanchuan County, and finally came to the outside of Luoyi City, and finally crossed the Qin border and arrived at the Han realm.

Han Zhi looked at Luo Yi's silhouette, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that this visit to Daqin had brought him great pressure, these days in the Qin State, he was worried every day, for fear that if he said something wrong, it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Qin State.

There is a saying that a weak country has no diplomacy.

The weakest of the Seven Heroes is South Korea, and its geographical location is extremely embarrassing, except for the Yan State, which is not much stronger than itself, South Korea borders all its overlords, and the area under its jurisdiction is also the core of the Central Plains, and the location is extremely special and sensitive.

If it weren't for the origin of the three divisions of the Jin Dynasty, perhaps Korea would have been wiped out by the Wei warriors of the Wei State back then, or it would have been annihilated under the hooves of the horses of the Zhao State Hufu cavalry.

If it weren't for the nationwide effort to destroy Jeong-kook a few years ago, perhaps South Korea might not even exist as it is now.

However, Nakyi, this hot potato, is regarded as a treasure in South Korea, and countless taxes and property have been looted here in the past ten years.

Sure enough, as Li Si expected, in Luoyi City, from top to bottom, there were all complaints, but they could only swallow their anger, because they were not sure if they would be better off if they switched to another country.

Under the eaves, he had to bow his noble head.

Zhuge Teng, originally the royal clan of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the internal history of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, now also governs all the affairs of Luoyi, but his identity is already the county guard of South Korea.

This kind of identity gap is just an instinct for a man living in troubled times, but what he can't tolerate is that South Korea has not regarded Luoyi as its own city-state at all over the years, and has not even given Luoyi any aid and assistance except for asking for it.

Perhaps South Korea didn't expect to occupy Naeup for a long time, so it was treated so differently.

Zhuge Teng understands this truth, he buried the pressure and resentment deep in his heart, and guarded Luoyi and the only remaining accumulation of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty very firmly.

Just last year, the old King Han passed away, and the crown prince Han An ascended the throne, Zhuge Teng thought that the new monarch's accession to the throne would bring a certain turn for the better, but unexpectedly, the new King Han's attitude towards Luoyi was the same as that of the old Han King.

This also made Zhuge Teng's mood plummet, and it seemed that there was no longer any expectation and bright light in South Korea.

On this day, Zhuge Teng suddenly received an official letter, saying that the envoy Han Zhi was going to rush back to Xinzheng with Zheng Guo, and he passed by Luoyi and wanted to repair it for one night.

So Zhuge Teng summoned the officials with more status in the city and lined up outside the west gate of Luoyi to greet him.

Zhuge Teng was already both civil and military, tall and tall, but now sitting on the war horse, he looked even more unangry and arrogant. The already slightly loyal face adds a bit of coldness.

"Brother Zhuge ." Han Zhi bowed his hand and said, "This envoy has just returned from the Qin State, and now he is going to spend the night in Luoyi."

"Huh." Zhuge Teng greeted him with a smile, "The envoy passed through Luoyi, which is really the glory of Luoyi, and it is an honor to be there."

"Brother Zhuge is polite." Han Zhi said with a smile, "The one next to me is Zheng Guo, who went to Qin State to offer the strategy of repairing the canal before."

"Oh?" Zhuge Teng was slightly startled,

said, "I have heard the name of Mr. Zheng for a long time, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to meet, and I am fortunate to meet."

"Zheng Guo has seen Zhuge Junshou." Zheng Guo bowed his hand very solemnly, and his eyes were full of respect.

Before Zheng Guo went to Qin State, he went to Yangzhai from Xinzheng first, so he didn't pass by Luoyi, so naturally he didn't see Zhuge Teng.

And the moment he met Zheng Guo's eyes, Zhuge Teng's heart was shocked, and the depths of his heart seemed to be touched by something.

"Hehe, it's cold, let's go into the city for a while." Zhuge Teng returned the salute and said, "Please!"

"Then thank you Brother Zhuge very much." Han Zhi said, side by side with Zheng Guo, and followed Zhuge Teng into Luoyi City.

After entering the county government and sitting down, the three of them were polite again, and then they got to the point.

"Brother Han's visit to Daqin this time, can it go well?" Zhuge Teng asked.

"Hehe, it's going well." Han Zhi said, "Originally, the king heard that Princess Wenxuan gave birth to a daughter, and sent him to congratulate him, and he heard that the famous merchants of all countries are selling brocade and tea to Great Qin, so how can we in Korea miss this good opportunity."

"I was ordered to Xianyang, and sure enough, I heard that Daqin would continue to buy a large number of tea, brocade and other items in the future, so I made a little touch of it and got the promise of Daqin Temple."

"In the future, whether it is something produced in South Korea or goods shipped to Daqin through South Korea, our Korea will be profitable, hahaha......

The more Han Zhi spoke, the more smug he became, and finally laughed.

"Oh?" Zhuge Teng also laughed and said, "Then I want to congratulate Brother Han on his great achievements, and Luoyi's superior position must also have some brilliance."

Han Zhi's laughter stopped, then he sighed lightly and shook his head, and said, "The location of Luoyi is excellent, presumably most of the merchants in the Central Plains will pass by here, but whether they can be glorified or not can only depend on the king's thoughts."

Zhuge Teng's smile froze on his face, and his heart suddenly became a wave.

No matter how advantageous your geographical location is, whether you can get some oil and water depends on the faces of others.

Zheng Guo sensed Zhuge Teng's strangeness, and hurriedly said: "If there are more merchants coming and going in the future, then they will probably all settle in Luoyi temporarily, waiting for the documents to enter the Qin realm, since the food and drink are all in Luoyi, are the county guards afraid that there is no money to make?"

One sentence eased the awkward scene.

"Hehe, what Brother Zheng said is extremely true." Zhuge Teng had a step, looked at Zheng Guo and said with a smile, "I heard that Brother Zheng was also an envoy of Han and went to Qin to offer a plan to repair the canal, I don't know if it will go well?"

Zheng Guo sighed lightly, as if reminiscing about the past: "At the beginning, the king sent his subordinates to the Qin State, originally wanting to cooperate with Zhao and Wei and exhaust Qin, but unexpectedly, the King of Qin easily saw through the intentions of the King of Han, and threatened to send troops to destroy our Korea."

"Oh?" Zhuge Teng was slightly startled, obviously the whole of South Korea didn't know what happened at the beginning.

What made him even more curious was that what Zheng Guo said was that King Qin "easily" saw through the conspiracy of the Three Jins.

Zheng Guo continued: "At that time, if it weren't for the Cheng Chan rebellion, maybe the head would have fallen to the ground."

"Later, in order to prevent Great Qin from sending troops to attack Korea, I had to make concessions and build a canal for Qin, and now, I am already a Qin minister."

"Me?" Zhuge Teng wondered.

"Oh, I am a very domineering new weapon, the King of Qin has an order, and the whole Qin is called "I". Zheng Guo explained.

"I see." Zhuge Teng said thoughtfully.

"Now, the canal is halfway repaired, and when I encounter some problems, the King of Qin ordered me to return to Korea and invite Han Fei to jointly participate in the construction of the canal." Zheng Guo said.

"Han Feita...... Will you help?" Zhuge Teng asked.

"I don't know." Zheng Guo replied directly, "However, when I was able to give up everything at the beginning, for the sake of South Korea's safety, there was no reason for Han Fei to put South Korea in danger

Gu."

"Really?" Zhuge Teng asked with a little doubt.

You must know that if Daqin sends troops to attack Han, his Luoyi will be the first stop.

Han Zhi saw Zhuge Teng's worries, and said calmly: "The county guard doesn't have to worry, although the Qin State has seized our handle in this matter of repairing the canal, but at this time, the internal strife of the Qin State has come one after another, and it has cost a lot of money to repair the canal, thinking about it, they will definitely not raise troops to advance eastward at this time."

"Hahaha......" Zhuge Teng laughed, "What Brother Han said is extremely true, he is thinking too much."

At that moment, one of the chamberlains walked to his side and said in a harmonious voice, "My lord, the banquet is ready."

"Got it." Zhuge Teng replied and stood up, "The two distinguished guests have come here, and they have prepared a little wine and vegetarian dishes, today, let's have a good drink."

"Brother Zhuge bothered." The two of them said at the same time.

At the banquet, the three of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps and drank happily.

Han Zhi completed his mission, and now he has returned to South Korea all the way, so he is naturally in a good mood, so he opens his belly and drinks happily.

And Zheng Guo's trip, the blessings and misfortunes are unknown, the success or failure is unpredictable, naturally he is preoccupied, and whenever he raises the wine, he only takes a small sip.

Zhuge Teng didn't say it, but he saw it in his eyes.

I don't know if he drank too much or because he couldn't drink, Han Zhi shook his head, climbed on the table, and got drunk after drinking another Yijue.

Zheng Guo looked at Han Zhi, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Brother Han is already drunk, let's get here today, I'll help him go back to rest first."

"Hey!" Zhuge Teng raised his hand to stop Zheng Guo and said, "Help Brother Han to go down to rest, that's what the next person does, our brothers hit it off at first sight, and we have to drink a little more if we say anything, and have a good chat."

Zheng Guo felt that what Zhuge Teng said made sense, and he really wanted to make this friend, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to Brother Zhuge to arrange."

Zhuge Teng waved his hand to the side, and the two family members walked up to Han Zhi and helped him out.

"Hahaha......" Zhuge Teng suddenly laughed, then patted the back of Zheng Guo's hand, and said softly, "There are no outsiders here, we brothers can finally vent our hearts."

Zheng Guo, who was just slightly drunk, of course could hear that Zhuge Teng was talking, so he stared at Zhuge Teng and asked, "Brother Tai said this...... What do you mean?"

"Huh." Zhuge Teng said with a smile, "During this banquet, the identities, statuses, and circumstances of the three of us are completely different, and Han Zhi left here, leaving the two of us, aren't they similar?"

Zheng Guo was speechless, still looking at Zhuge Teng.

"As far as I know, Brother Zheng, you are originally a descendant of the royal family of Zheng Guo, and you also have the hatred of losing the country." Zhuge Teng exhaled lightly and said, "And below, why don't you send people under the fence and act according to people's faces."

"Hehe, this one is somewhat similar." Zheng Guo said.

"And Brother Zheng, you also said that now you are eating Qin Lu and doing Qin things, morally speaking, King Han will no longer trust you." Zhuge Teng continued, "And as we all know, for Luoyi, Korea has never regarded it as its own territory, except for collecting taxes, what have they done for the people in the city?"

Zheng Guo was shocked in his heart, no wonder he said something and couldn't say it in front of Han Zhi.

"Hehe, if there is an enemy attacking, I'm afraid King Han won't send a single soldier." Zhuge Teng said indignantly, "In this county, what I did was really aggrieved, but if I let go, I would be reluctant to let go of the people in the city and the last dignity of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

Zheng Guo asked quite solemnly, "Brother Zhuge said this to me, so I'm not afraid that I will see King Han and join you?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid, but you won't." Zhuge Teng said quite firmly.

"How so?" Zheng Guo asked.

"Intuition." Zhuge Teng picked up the wine jue and took a sip.
