Xiang Yan.

This Shangzhu State of Chu is in his fifties, his hair is gray, but his spirit is very good. He walked very steadily, his waist was straight, and his voice was loud and powerful.

He stood in the courtyard, rubbing a bronze tripod with both hands.

"Father, do you want to lift the crown?"

Xiang Qu, who was eight feet tall, walked in and asked casually.

Xiang Yan shook his head.

"I'm an old man, how can I still have the strength to lift my head, you kid don't want to make fun of this."

Xiang Qu stepped forward, touched the bronze tripod with both hands, and then reluctantly hugged the tripod body, only to hear him say "ha", and saw that the bronze tripod weighing four or five hundred catties was held off the ground by those big hands.

"Okay, young descendants should also be more steady, what is the benefit of lifting the tripod all day long, don't be like that Qin Wangdang, be hurt by this tripod."

Xiang Yan's face was not good-looking.

"Hehe, when you raised the crown, you didn't say that, what you said at the time was 'This kid is still young, he has the power to lift the tripod, and when he grows up in the future, he will be able to lift the thousand catties of the tripod and become the world's great husband as I did when I was young!'" Father, am I not mistaken?"

Xiang Qu smiled, knowing that his father was jealous.

Xiang Yan loved to lift the tripod when he was young, and it is said that he could lift the thousand-pound tripod of Xiangcheng's old house.

He has achieved countless victories in his life, but as he gets older and has war wounds on his body, he no longer plays such dangerous games.

On the contrary, he likes to collect all kinds of tripod vessels, place them everywhere in the house, and touch them from time to time, and the glowing eyes seem to be recalling the glorious days of the past.

Xiang Yan glared at her own son and asked, "Can you compare with your son?"

"Ji'er is born a child, the appearance of an ancient saint, and he has divine power. Although he has not grown up, his character is also quite domineering. I, Xiang Yan, have watched countless people in my life, and I will never be wrong. My son will definitely be able to become a mighty general in the future, and he is the hope of my Chu Kingdom in the future!"

"Just that kid?"

Xiang Qu laughed, knowing that this was his father's words of doting on his grandson, he didn't take it to heart, and his mind returned to the front of him. His face became serious and he asked, "Father, what do you think of Shicai's words?"

Seeing her son talking about business, Xiang Yan also put away her smile.

"This person's mind is not pure, and in his words, although he thinks about my Chu State everywhere, in fact, he just wants to use the power of my Chu State to start a war with Qin."

Xiang Qu nodded and said, "When I sent him out just now, I tested his purpose. Although this person didn't say much, when I deliberately asked about the Wei State's Zhang Er, Chen Yu's face still changed. I asked someone to ask that this Chen Yu and Zhang Er, who was beheaded by the Qin army, are friends of the neck, and he came this time, I am afraid that he wants to use the power of my Chu State to avenge Zhang Er."

Xiang Yan shook his head and said, "These young people always come and go, thinking that they are chivalrous. In fact, it is just a small righteousness, and I don't know the great righteousness of the country. For the sake of an open ear, he came here in person to provoke Qin Chu. When I saw the fall of the Wei State, I didn't see this person fighting for the Wei State."

Hearing this, Xiang Qu nodded in agreement, but his face darkened. He whispered, "But father, what Chen Yu said also makes sense. Now that the Three Jin Dynasty has died, there are only Qin, Chu, and Qi left among the great powers in the world. The king of Qin is brutal, although he made peace with my Chu country, but he will never keep his word, sooner or later he will attack my Chu country, especially the matter of Fan Yi last year, I heard that the matter has been leaked, he has been torn apart and died......

….

"This is natural, although Fan Yi doesn't know if the King of Qin has any plans to attack Chu, but the Qin State mobilized so many troops to transport grain and straw not just to destroy Wei. Now that Wei has died, these Qin troops have not dispersed, but have gathered on the border of Wei, and I see that the Qin State intends to continue to launch a war to destroy our Chu State after the autumn harvest!"

Xiang Yan's expression was cold.

Xiang Qu was shocked, it turned out that his father knew everything, and even estimated the specific time of Qin's invasion of Chu.

He hurriedly asked, "In that case, then why is my Chu State unprepared. When Songyang Jun and I returned from Qin, we had already informed the king of the doubts Fan Yi had said, but the king said that I was too worried

, Qin Chu made peace, and there will be no war for at least a few years."

"The King? Do you think our king is a simple man?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yan sneered more and more.

"If he can kill his brother and ascend to the throne, how can he not see the plans of the Qin State. Qin Chu made peace. The Qin State wants to use this peace negotiation to stabilize our Chu State, so as to concentrate on eliminating the Wei State without interference. And our king knows even more in his heart that he also wants to take advantage of the time of Qin's war against Wei to gather power and stabilize the country. Hehe, I believe that the list of Chu ministers who have colluded with the Qin people in the past six months has already been mastered by the king, and as long as there is a war, these people will be eliminated one by one."

"On the surface, you think that my Chu State is unprepared. In fact, the feudal lords loyal to the king in various places have already received orders, and when the autumn harvest is complete, the army and food will be ready, and they will levy strong soldiers to hold on to Qin, and there will be a big war at that time, but now in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the king has not announced it, and even you juniors don't know."

"As for the remnants of the old people, they don't know the general trend, and they are just a little wise, and they also want to provoke the big countries to start a war in advance, how ridiculous. There are so many things to prepare for a war between great powers. Soldiers, food and grass, there is no need to prepare, how can it be said that war is just a war!"

"This person really thinks that he is the generation of Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the past, and he can stir up the situation in the world with just one mouth, hehe."

"Don't bother with this kind of villain, and don't say goodbye."

Xiang Yan sneered, and then looked in the direction of the west.

"It's just that I don't know who Qin will be this time?"

"Hopefully, not Wang Qian."

Xiang Qu also recovered from the shock, shook his head and said, "I heard that Wang Jian has returned to old age and no longer participates in military battles. I don't think it could be him."

Xiang Yan looked worried and muttered, "Who knows if this is a confusing plan of the Qin State, just like the Battle of Changping back then, when the Qin State secretly changed Bai Qi to a general and killed Ma Fuzi."

……

"Damn Xiang, short-sighted Xiang Yan!"

In Shouchun's hostel, Chen Yu roared angrily.

He confidently went to the mansion of Shangzhu State to ask to see Xiang Yan, and after some emotion, he hoped to persuade Xiang Yan to realize the crisis in Chu State in front of him.

The Qin State will definitely attack Chu in the future, and the Chu State is better than being controlled by others, it is better to control the people, and the first strike is stronger, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Qin State to attack the Wei Army, attack the Qin army, win a first prize, and hit the Qin State by surprise.

In the face of such a good plan, Xiang Yan just smiled and said nothing, and after a few perfunctory words, he asked his son Xiang Qu to send off the guest.

"No wonder Chu and Qin are fighting, they have lost even battles, and even Chen Ying has been lost, such a cowardly Chu person, phew."

….

Chen Yu was indignant.

The two remaining rangers in the room glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Jun Chen, since Xiang Yan doesn't listen to Jun Chen's good words, what should we do next?" Why don't we go to Pei County and behead that Liu Ji to avenge Zhang Jun."

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

He was dissatisfied, they needed to appease the hearts of the local Chu people in order to smoothly hand over those cities on the Qin and Chu peace treaties to the Qin State.

"Abominable envoy of the Qin State, uncle, why don't you let me go and slaughter that Qin person, and be ashamed of my Qu family!"

In the middle of the house, a young man of the Qu clan was furious, and he walked out with a sword.

"Stop!"

Everyone else hurriedly stopped.

"Okay, I know what you're waiting for. But you must not be impulsive, that person is the envoy of the Qin State, how can he do it at will!"

Qu Shen also calmed down and sighed: "Now that the situation between Qin and Chu is difficult to understand, the three cities west of my Qingyang are dedicated to the King of Qin, which is to cut the power of my Qu clan in exchange for his success in seeking peace. But this peace agreement, in my opinion, is only a temporary matter. Sooner or later, there will be a battle between Qin and Chu, and once the fight starts, won't my three cities be given to the Qin people in vain?"

"My Qu clan doesn't have much territory here, how can I give it up, fortunately, although the Qin envoy is domineering, the Qin State did not send troops to take it by force. They didn't force us on the other side, so we can drag it out for a day."

"During this time, transfer all the goods, jewelry, and personnel in those cities as soon as possible, if Qin Guoqiang wants it, then leave a few empty cities for them, and it will not be considered a breach of contract."

Everyone nodded and lamented.

Adhering to the order of the king of Chu and dedicating land to the Qin State, they were reluctant to do so.

Therefore, even if the envoys of the Qin State became more and more arrogant and urged them to hand over the land, they only used procrastination to deal with them.

As for the further future, they can't think of it, and they don't want to think about it.

Just as the Qu clan feudals were lamenting, suddenly someone from the Qu clan hurriedly ran in.

"Big things are bad!"

"The envoy of the Qin State has been killed!"

"What!"

Everyone in the room jumped up, their faces full of shock.

Even the young man of the Qu clan who was shouting just now to kill the envoy of the Qin State was stunned.

The envoy of the Qin State really died in their Qu clan's territory!

……

"Chen Jun is very skilled, he killed the envoy of the Qin State with one sword, hahaha, in this way, the Qin State will definitely be furious, and there will definitely be a war with the Chu State."

In the praise of the two rangers, Chen Yu wiped the blood stains on the sword body and said with a smile: "The Chu State can't make up its mind to start a war, so I, Chen Yu, will come to help them decide." Hehe, that Xiang Yan must not have imagined that I, Chen Yu, would not only only move my mouth, but also use my hands!"

Although he was smiling, Chen Yu always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

This envoy of the Qin State is too easy to kill, right?

Walking down the street, apart from two servants following him, he didn't even have a guard, as if he was waiting for someone to kill him.

On this night, as the envoy of the Qin State was assassinated, the shocked Qu feudal monarch ordered the whole city to commit murders, and the whole Qingyang was in chaos all night.

At the same time, the news of the killing of the envoy of the Qin State was also sent to all parts of the world by Kuaima.

……

Xianyang, in the Qin Palace.

Qin Wangzheng looked at the silk book in his hand that had been passed back from Nanjun day and night.

He smiled at the left and right: "The king of Chu broke his promise, was unwilling to hand over the three towns west of Qingyang, and instructed the Qu clan to kill my envoy, what should I do with such behavior?"

Both left and right said: "The king of Chu broke his promise and did not believe in the world. Let the great king strike him down with great righteousness."

"Good."
