Anyway, the hero didn't suffer the immediate loss, he sighed stupidly: "If the princess insists on this, I can't either. When our army arrives, I hope the princess will still be so tough! Boys, let's withdraw!"

Neither Boyan nor Li Kui had any intention of pursuing, and let the horse team of Jin Wudu rumble away. Vaguely hearing a low sobbing sound coming from Su Xuan's car, Bo Yan was very unwilling, and wanted to step forward to snatch it, but was intercepted by Li Kui: "You save it!" It's the end of the crossbow, so don't fight for nothing!"

Boyan saw that there were only more than 100 horsemen left on his side, and then looked at the corpses all over the ground, knowing that he was powerless to recapture Xing Huan. I had to grit my teeth and say with hatred: "Thank you princess for saving me!"

"Don't thank you too soon!" Li Kui's attitude suddenly became cold: "What he said just now is not wrong, I have no end up with the same clan as the Qiang, although I will not rob and kill you, but it is also inconvenient to take in Master Zhou. I will send those two ladies out when I return to the camp, so you can take them away quickly!"

"The princess is willing to help, and the general is already grateful, how can he think?" Boyan dismounted and bowed solemnly: "I hope we won't cause trouble for the princess." He was referring to the idea of how the King of Endless Destiny would feel.

Unexpectedly, Li Kui's personal maid smiled loudly: "You think too much, our king listens to the princess for everything. The princess is whatever she says, and where will she be embarrassed!"

"Shut up!" Li Kui pretended to scold, but her face turned slightly red for no reason: "Just your mouth, you are so unruly in front of outsiders! Don't let me in yet." She turned her face to Boyan and said, "Please wait a moment, general, I will send people out immediately."

"Thank you, Princess."

Li Kui was resolute, but with a stick of incense, the mouthy maid sent out the frightened and pale Chen Concubine and Ji Jiang with the broken purple curtain car.

Looking at the second daughter who survived the catastrophe, and then at his subordinates who were less than 200 and most of them were injured, Boyan was suddenly at a loss: Where should I go? Looking ahead, there are golden vultures blocking the road, and there is a vast desert behind, where to find a place to live?

It was Chen Fei who asked first, "What are you stunned about? Hurry up!"

"This ...... Where do we go?" Boyan muttered to himself, as if he was asking Chen Fei and as if he was asking himself.

The talkative maid smiled, "It's really the princess who is right. General, our princess said that the general should go to Lonely Bamboo City!"

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Boyan slapped his thigh and praised. Guzhu has married Wei Guo, go there for a while, if Jin Wudu really blatantly attacks the city, Wei Hou He will definitely not sit idly by. And the lonely bamboo does not seem to be endless, there is a city, if the lynx cavalry wants to attack the city, it will definitely not be as easy as the decisive battle of the grassland cavalry.

"Get on board! Turn around!" Boyan drew his sword and shouted.

The city is still full of the smell of blue paste and madder.

At sunset, the noisy market calms down, and the stalls on both sides of the market begin to pack up their goods. At this moment, a group of yellow-clothed warriors, all black horses and long swords, surrounded by a shiny bronze chariot, rumbled into the south city gate. From a distance, it looks like a dark cloud roaming the street market with the sun after the rain.

After the caravan, a creaking ox cart followed in the distance, each covered with a brown rainproof cowhide, which wrapped the high carriages so tightly that hills wriggled in the valley.

Turning an alley, the tall gate hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is already in sight. An order was given in the bronze chariot, and the forward knight flew out with a small yellow flag and went straight to the door, and the sound of the number echoed in the deep alley: "Guests from afar have come to visit Huai Xiang——"

"Dare to ask who is your guest?" When the doorman heard the report, he was really a little confused.

"Danyang guest arrived, make a quick report to Huaixiang." The knight reined in the horse without the slightest intention of dismounting.

The doorman frowned: "Danyang? My country of Hubei has never had anything to do with the country of Chu, and Dabin has come from Danyang, so he must have a name, otherwise how can he report it?"

"Eventful!" The knight pointed with a horsewhip: "You only said that the king of Chu has made a secret envoy, don't ask about the rest!"

"Stay with you."

The doorman hurried in, and ordered the servants to clean up the hall and courtyard immediately, and then arrived at the back study

The master Huai Qing reported. Huaiqing's eyes rolled and he commanded in a low voice, "Lead them to the outer carriage and horse farm to unload the cart, and that secret envoy will be quietly introduced by you personally."

The doorman hurried back to the gate and led the horse team cart to the carriage and horse yard outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the rear team of ox carts was still coming. The doorman walked over and bowed to the bronze chariot: "Please come into the mansion and wait, the prime minister is already waiting in the main hall."

A middle-aged man in yellow with a heavy voice on the carriage looked around with the copper pillar of the umbrella cover reservedly: "With the knowledge of public opinion, the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion is quite like a dragon and a tiger!" Do you know?" The two rather gentlemen on the left and right of the chariot nodded their heads in response.

The middle-aged man turned to stare at the doorman and asked, "Huai Xiang can understand the study of yin and yang?"

The doorman bowed his hand humbly: "Dare to invite the adults to enter the house with the villains to wait for the meeting."

"Well said, well said! After that, we will be a family." The middle-aged man in yellow got out of the car with a reserved smile and entered the house surrounded by the samurai.

At first glance, when he heard the doorman report, Huaiqing was full of doubts. Since the country of Hubei was taken away by the state of Chu, the first Hou and his wife died at the hands of the Chu people, the two countries have not been in contact with each other for many years, and secretly competed, and the Hou of Hu regarded Chu as an enemy. But the two countries are still at war, and people take the initiative to show goodwill, as the prime minister, you have to listen to the intentions of the people!

This Chu envoy is so pretentious, it seems that he can only come by the order of Xiong Qu, the king of Chu. This Xiong Qu has entered his old age, and it is inevitable that there will be many unexpected secret acts, and it seems that his unbelievable move cannot be ruled out - could it be that he is using the marriage alliance as a cover, but in fact he has a plot against the Hubei country? If this is the case, there will be a follower.

However, after being cut off from diplomatic relations for many years, what can we wait for? The envoys are useless, the pressure of the army is useless, and even the world-renowned Nanlin Society has nothing to do about the country of E, which sleeps with his eyes open, what can he do to Xiongqu? If there is no backhand, wouldn't it be a snake to send such a secret envoy to swagger? Until the doorman led the person into the porch, Huaiqing still couldn't figure it out.

The middle-aged man in yellow bowed when he entered the main hall: "Danyang Halberd, I have seen Huaixiang."

"Oh, I don't dare." Huai Qing, who was sitting upright on the photo desk, smiled and bowed his hand but did not get up, and asked with a false hand: "Mr. Mi is seated and speaks."

Qi Ji sat down with a spring breeze on his face, and took a sip of hot tea leisurely and smiled: "When I first entered Echeng, I was still lovely. I don't want Hubei to move the capital to the country, but to have such a weather is also a meritorious contribution to the Huai Xiang's complementary government!"

Huaiqing smiled noncommittally: "Dare to ask the prince to be knighted? What is the official residence?"

The man in yellow smiled reservedly: "Huai Xiang is a famous person of the Jiang and Han Dynasty, why is he so worldly? Ji Ji is the younger brother of the King of Chu, and he is just a carefree merchant between Jiang and Han."

"Oh?" Huaiqing's heart moved: "Gongzi doesn't want to open up the trade route of Lanxiang Madder in Chu State, so it is okay to cooperate."

Ji Ji was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and finally suddenly approached Huaiqing and said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, I am here to give my king's will, and I want to release my suspicions with Eguobing, and I intend to marry." Now that the Jianghan countries are vying to marry our Chu country, and the two countries have not been in contact with each other for many years, this solid ice should also be broken."

"Marriage?" Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, as soon as he heard these two words from the other party's mouth, Huai Qing was still slightly surprised. The national strength of Chu is getting stronger and stronger, and if it can really get this strong reinforcement, it will no longer be afraid of the southern expedition of the king division. It's just that...... In this way, can the Hou Yu agree to turn the anger into peace? Is it permissible to marry the daughter of an enemy who killed his father? Isn't that too much of a step?

Roughly seeing his hesitation, the halberd waved his hand, and a girl in samurai costume behind him immediately left the hall, and in a moment pushed a delicate two-wheeled small copper cart. Ji Ji arched his hand and said, "Looking at a person like Huai Xiang, how can you fight empty-handed? Offering something under it, dare to laugh at it."

The girl pushed the cart, and the copper cover of the carriage was lifted and a layer of red brocade was removed—the light in the hall flashed, and the lights and candles on the two compartments were suddenly dimmed.

"Oops!" Huaiqing's eyes immediately widened: "South Sea Dragon Ball! Only the king has it!"

"The treasure is hidden in the house. From this day on, it will be a thing of Huaixiang."

"Oh, Mi Gongzi is so polite!" Huai Qing smiled and got up to the ear of the man in yellow and muttered mysteriously: "It's easy to marry, but if you want the king to marry a Chu girl, I'm afraid you can't break it......

"Huai Xiang is too worried, my king has made it clear that the sons of the Marquis of Ehou are all heroes, and they can be worthy of a good match for their granddaughters."

"Then the old man can give it a try."

Seeing that the figure of the man in yellow turned over the porch and disappeared, the smile on Huaiqing's face was closed, and he turned around and instructed the elder: "Submit a post to the palace gate, and enter the palace early tomorrow morning to ask to see Mrs. Yi."

The old man made a promise, and was about to turn around, but was stopped again: "Wait, send someone to invite Mr. Yigong."

There is not even a strategist who can give advice, and he has to be respectful, knowledgeable and far-sighted, and has a fixed opinion on every major event. Huaiqing let out a long sigh and paced in the study for a long time.

When the lantern was in hand, Yi Gong hurried over. Huaiqing finished talking about the matter, and finally asked, "Sir, and said, can you receive this olive branch of Chu State?"

"It's natural to take it, that is, you can't get a foil, and you can't make enemies in vain." Yi Gong said categorically, "It's just who will pick it up. If you can not offend the Chu State, but also gently get rid of a political enemy, it is very good to the public!"

After speaking, Yi Gong talked eloquently under the lamp, Huaiqing frowned when he heard it, and smiled happily: "Okay, it's up to Mr.'s plan."

After listening to Huaiqing's words, Mrs. Yi's expression was very strange, she seemed to be happy and worried. It seems that he was hit in the head by a piece of pig's head meat that fell from the sky, and he wanted to eat this piece of fat, but he was afraid that there was a mouse trap with a tightened spring pressed under the pig's head meat.
