Chu Wang Qi woke up from his stupor.

He rubbed his swollen and aching head, and in a trance, he had heard some strange words in a hangover.

But if you think about it, you don't remember anything, it seems like a dream, and it is psychedelic and hazy.

"Barbarians, I don't know how to be polite."

Chu Wangqi couldn't help but scold.

"King, you're awake."

A woman's voice rang out in the room.

Chu Wang Qi was taken aback, only to find that there were two women standing next to him.

One of them spoke Chu with a Wu accent, and his face did not look like that of the Yue people, and he may have been taken captive from Wu by the Yue people. As for the other person, she was half-naked, with weird tattoos on her skin, a real Yue woman, staring at herself upright.

Seeing that the king of Chu was coming, the Wu woman smiled and said, "We are the concubines of the king of Yue, and we have been sent to serve the king." ”

Chu Wangqi nodded, he was drunk, and it was normal for King Yue to send concubines to serve, but I don't know what he scolded when he woke up just now, whether this woman would report to King Yue.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds in this Yue land, and don't annoy the king of Yue."

Chu Wangqi gave himself a wake-up call and shouted, "What about the donkey? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are guarding outside the house."

Fu Pi pushed open the door and walked in, revealing his yellow teeth to King Chu.

Chu Wangqi nodded, this Yue general promoted by himself was really loyal.

Now he can rely on this one of his subordinates.

"Let's go, go and say goodbye to King Yue, and go back to the camp quickly."

Chu Wang Qi got up, he was still worried about his soldiers and the dozens of carts of property escorted.

This time, he came to the royal city to see the Yue king without friends, only the widow and dozens of personal guards, and the remaining more than 2,000 Chu troops were stationed in an open space a few miles away from the royal city.

Compared with the barbaric Yue people, the more than 2,000 Chu people were the real life-saving force of his Chu Wang Qi, so he was very worried that when he was not there, there would be changes in the Chu army.

However, immediately after, something happened that Chu Wangqi didn't expect.

Qi Pi laughed: "The king should stay here for a while, the king of Yue is sleeping soundly now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the king." Moreover, the king of Yue said last night that the king was his friend, and the conversation was very pleasant, so he would invite the king to a banquet this evening, and ask the king to stay in this royal city for a few more days. ”

Chu Wang Qi's face changed greatly.

He is a political veteran, how can he not understand the information implied in these words.

Why ask him to stay a few more days, isn't this a disguised house arrest?

Chu Wang Qi looked at the smiling Fu Pi deadly, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

"If Bugu is not in the camp, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be restrained, and if there is a dispute with the king of Yue's men, it will not be good. Since the king of Yue is still resting, then Bugu will not bother, first go back to the camp to appease the soldiers, and then come to drink and have fun with the king of Yue in the evening. ”

Chu Wangqi found a wonderful excuse and was about to leave, but when he saw that the Yue Qi made a look, the Yue woman stuck to it and reached out to hug Chu Wangqi tightly.

"What for?"

Chu Wang Qi screamed, his body struggled, but he found that the Yue woman was actually very powerful, and hugged him like an iron hoop.

"Don't worry, the king, I will go back to appease the king. King Yue is kind, but the king can not live up to it, and please have a good time here, waiting for King Yue to drink and feast. ”

With that, she smiled and retreated outside the house and closed the door.

At the moment when the door was closed, Chu Wang Qi saw dozens of sturdy Yue warriors standing outside the house, but none of the guards who followed him here.

Everything is already clear.

He was a traitor in the past, and now he is also betrayed.

"Don't you betray you...... Woo......"

Halfway through the call, Chu Wangqi was overwhelmed on the couch by the Yue woman.

……

A moment later, when Pi Pi walked into the palace of King Yue, King Yue Wuyou screamed angrily.

"100 gold?"

"How did those Qin people take it!"

"Xiong Bugu gave the king dozens of carts of jewelry and goods, and more than 2,000 slaves. Isn't his Qin State bigger and stronger than the Chu State? The money in his hand is also more than this Xiong Bugu, and he wants to send this king away with just a hundred gold, phew. ”

Yue Wang Wuyou was very angry, glared at the Wu Wuyu in the room and said, "Didn't you raise the price with those Qin people?" ”

Su Wuyue said helplessly: "I see that there are a lot of people from Qin who came this time, but they brought little money, and the hundred gold should be about the same." ”

"100 gold?"

Yue Wang Wuyou was very unhappy.

If it was changed to before, someone was willing to exchange 100 gold for a king of the Chu people, he would naturally agree to come down.

But now, he has harvested thousands of gold worth of jewelry and goods on Chu Wang Qi, as well as more than 2,000 Chu slaves, and his eyes have risen all of a sudden, and he feels that the price given by the Qin people is too low.

Just as Pi Pi came in, he heard the roar of Yue Wang Wuyou.

As a civilized Yue man of Wu Land, he naturally knew the strength of the Qin State, so he persuaded: "Great King, the Qin people are fierce, and even the huge Chu State has been destroyed, so it is better for us not to have a bad relationship with them." Since the Qin people can't come up with more money, it is better to let them exchange food and armor. ”

Su Wuyue's eyes lit up, and he said: "Good idea, I think those Qin people have excellent armor, but they are much better than what we use, it is better to let them pay for the armor and food, so that the deal is negotiated, and we don't have to fight with the Qin people." ”

King Wuyou frowned and said, "In this case, let the Qin people hand over two thousand pairs of armor and weapons, and thirty carts of grain." By the way, there is also the hundred gold. ”

……

In the Qin camp.

Zhao Tuo once again met the Vietnamese envoy who came to negotiate.

This time, the Vietnamese brought a reply from the previous negotiation.

"The Yue people asked for two hundred gold, two thousand pairs of armor and weapons, and thirty carts of grain."

Zhao Tuo gently muttered the conditions given by Yue Ren, and his eyes became colder and colder.

The generals in the tent were angry.

"What are you kidding, we don't have enough food to eat, and we still have to wait for thirty carts of food? Why don't these Yue people eat arrows! ”

"Of course, two hundred gold will be counted. Can we hand over those 2,000 pairs of weapons and armor, such a number of weapons and armor to the Yue people, if there is no permission from the king or the general, this is a violation of the law! ”

"His mother, why don't we go directly to King Yue's royal city, arrest that Xiong Qi and King Yue together, and see if he dares to ask us for money!"

"That's right, our Qin State is invincible in the world, the Three Jins, Yan, Chu, and the Five Kingdoms are all destroyed, how can we be bullied by this group of Yue barbarians to ask for money, if it is passed out, then it will be fine!"

Black Buttocks, Xi Qigu, Zhang He and other generals were filled with righteous indignation one by one.

As for Shijian, Su Jiao, and even Meng Tian and the others, they all frowned, feeling that Yue Ren's conditions were too harsh.

Zhao Tuo closed his eyes.

As a last resort, he didn't want to fight with the Yue people.

The Yue people are not only outnumbered, but also familiar with the geographical environment. If it really starts, even if the Qin army can win in the end, I don't know how many soldiers will die. Therefore, Zhao Tuo has always been inclined to settle this matter peacefully.

But unfortunately, he can't afford the price that the other party wants.

"Let the Yue messenger in."

Zhao Tuo said coldly.

A moment later, the Yue envoy swaggered into the Qin army's tent again.

He arched his hand casually, ignoring the indignant expressions of the Qin generals around him, and smiled at Zhao Tuo on the main seat: "General Qin, I don't know what you think about?" As long as you Qin people agree to our conditions, you can take the king of Chu directly. ”

Zhao Tuo said lightly: "The conditions mentioned by the envoy are not allowed to be given at will, except that the armor is stipulated by the laws of our Qin State. Food and money are negotiable. We can give two hundred gold, twenty carts of grain in exchange for the traitor Xiong Qi. ”

Zhao Tuo went south this time, and he had the intention of soliciting and buying Yue people, and he carried about 150 gold. Last time he gave the price to the Yue envoy, he kept a hand, for fear that the other party would increase the price, and he could also turn around one or two when the time came.

But I didn't expect the other party's appetite to be so big, and it directly doubled.

I really don't take money as money.

However, if it is two hundred gold, Zhao Tuo will let the soldiers under him make it together, and he will probably be able to make it up. When you go back, you will naturally be rewarded and compensated.

As for food, the Qin army can also squeeze out twenty carts.

This price is Zhao Tuo's final bottom line.

Su Wuyu thought about it for a while, opened his mouth and said: "That Xiong Bugu is a friend of my king, and if you want to exchange your friend from our Yue people for such a price, I'm afraid it's less." The general might as well add a little more. ”

Zhao Tuo was so angry that he laughed.

These Yue people really regarded Xiong Qi as a commodity and came to bargain with him.

"This is the only price I can give, if King Yue wants more, then we can only go to the royal city to discuss with him in person. I also asked the envoy to inform the king of Yue about this matter. ”

"Three days, please think about it."

"He asked for two hundred gold and twenty carts of grain to become friends with my Qin people."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tuo slapped the wooden case and scolded him harshly.

"I still have to hold on to that traitor and wait for my army to level the royal city!"
