opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and Bai Qi couldn't say anything.

In the end, he could only cough dryly: "It's getting late, when you enter the city as soon as possible, check in to the post station first." ”

Granny drops.

If I talk in front of Xiong Wuliang in the future, I will be a dog!

In Xianyang City, the streets are clean and clean, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

Under the guidance of Bai Qi, the group walked straight to the post station.

The officials inside hurriedly walked out, and after talking to Bai Qi for three or five sentences, they bowed slightly to Zhao Ju and the others: "Everyone, please." ”

Bai Qi said to Zhao Ju: "The envoys of the Chu State, please stay here first, and the last general will go to my king and the queen mother to make a confession - if everything goes well, presumably the contract can be concluded tomorrow." ”

……

Xiong Wuliang walked to his room - this is a small independent house, in addition to the master bedroom, there are two side rooms in the courtyard.

The facilities in the room are very simple, except for the necessary desk and bed, there is only a bronze mirror, two knives and pens, and a few blank bamboo slips.

Shaohu arched his hand honestly: "Lord, the last general will live in the side room, you just need to say hello loudly if you have something." ”

Xiong Wuliang nodded.

Staying here, at least there is no need to worry about safety - this is a post house specially opened by the Qin State to entertain foreign envoys, and there are Qin soldiers stationed to protect the envoys of various countries.

"Qu Yangjun, Lord Ling Yin invites you to go to the discussion." As soon as Xiong Wuliang sat down, a messenger came to the door.

Xiong Wuliang stretched his waist and went to Zhaoju's courtyard, and when he arrived, he found that the prince Mi Heng and Huang Xie were also present.

Zhao Ju leaned over, coughed, and went straight to the point: "If you want to see King Qin, it is estimated that it will take at least a few days." ”

Mi Heng: "The Qin general named Bai or something just now, didn't he say that he could sign a contract tomorrow?" Why did Yin say that he would have to stay a few more days? ”

Zhao Ju smiled coldly: "I'm waiting for the Chu people to come for the first time, and I must have to dry it." ”

"Now that the new king of Qin has ascended the throne, the situation is delicate - of course, we can't show cowardice."

Hearing this, Xiong Wuliang slowly bowed his head.

Although this Zhaoju is autocratic, he has been able to prosper in the political arena of Chu for so many years, and his sense of smell is still not bad.

"When King Qin summons me and others, the two deputy envoys will just follow, and all the responses will be handled by the old man himself." Zhao Ju reassured him.

His eyes swept over Xiong Wuliang.

Just stay out of the way.

To be honest, Zhao Ju is really afraid of Xiong Wuliang!

When Mi Heng heard that he couldn't see King Qin in a short time, he couldn't help but feel a little interested, and beckoned to Xiong Wuliang: "Let's go, go out and visit Xianyangfang City." ”

There is a curfew in Xianyang City, but this curfew is limited to commoners and local small merchants, and there is no restriction on other nobles such as Mi Heng and Xiong Wuliang, as well as wealthy merchants and magnates from other countries.

In the west of the city, Shang Shang Fang is open day and night, providing a variety of services to these foreigners who have come from afar and made a lot of money.

Xiong Wuliang's hair stood up.

"It's okay to walk around the market, but you can't drink!" Xiong Wuliang emphasized.

In history, Mi Heng killed Qin's doctor on the street after drinking, which led to the breakdown of Qin-Chu relations and led to a disaster of a multinational coalition to attack Chu.

Now that I heard Mi Heng say that he was going out shopping, he was scared of Xiong Wuliang on the spot!

Mi Heng grinned and said, "Don't drink, just look at how the Xianyang City of the Qin Kingdom is." ”

So, Xiong Wuliang called Shaohu, and Mi Heng called Huang Xie...... A group of four people walked out of the post house and went straight to 'Shang Shang Fang'.

……

Xianyang Palace.

Bai Qi passed through the palace gate guarded by two guards and went straight to the study.

Although it was already dark, the candles in the study were still brightly lit, and some officials were running back and forth with their heads down, holding large bundles of bamboo slips in their arms, covered in sweat.

Faintly, I could hear the sound of talking in the study—

"I heard that there is a special product called 'white paper' in Chudi, which is extremely light and easy to write, and if it can be extended, it will be greatly convenient." It's a woman's voice.

"Is there such a thing? The widow will send someone to inquire tomorrow, and strive to replace the bamboo slips in the palace with this white paper as soon as possible! ”

Bai got up and went to the door, and whispered: "Zuo is more white, ask to see the king and the queen mother." ”

There was silence in the study for a moment, and then the woman's voice came out: "It's white, just come in." ”

Bai Qi bowed his head and entered the house, and bowed to the two people in the house: "Meet the Queen Mother, Meet the King...... Forgive the end of the armor on the body, can not be full of salutes. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan smiled, her tone was calm, and she was as concerned as the aunt next door: "Sensei is restrained-how did you stay in Wuguan?" ”

"Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, everything is fine with the minister." After Bai Qi replied respectfully, he said in a deep voice: "The envoys of the Chu State and my Great Qin Alliance have already arrived at the post house. ”

"The main envoy is Yin Zhaoju, the commander of the Chu State, and the deputy envoy is the Prince Heng of Chu, and the other is the prince of Quyang."

When Xiong Wuliang was mentioned, Bai Qi's tone bit the words intentionally or unintentionally.

Empress Dowager Xuan and King Yingji of Qin glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It seems that the State of Chu attaches great importance to it." ”

Bai Qi arched his hand and said: "The minister has sent them to Xianyang, the task has been completed, and they will rush back to Wuguan overnight......"

Before Yingji could speak, he heard Empress Dowager Xuan smile again: "Don't worry, stay in Xianyang for a while longer, just to tell Ji'er stories in the army." ”

"The princes of Chu have all come to Xianyang, and they can't fight at Wuguan."

Yingji also smiled: "The queen mother's words are very true. ”

Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up his hand: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes flashed: "It's not a hurry to meet the envoys of the Chu State, let them rest in the post house for a few days first." ”

Bai Qi didn't ask the reason: "No." ”

"What did you promise?" Empress Dowager Xuan smiled: "Receiving envoys is a matter of 'pedestrians' (equivalent to diplomats), you just have to stay in Xianyang and talk to Ji'er with me." ”

Bai Qi scratched his head stiffly: "The minister obeys the order of the Queen Mother." ”

……

Empress Dowager Xuan used to be the princess of the royal family of Chu State, and naturally knew that although Chu State was no longer as strong as it used to be, it was also a thin camel after all, and the Chu people still had the arrogance of the former overlord in their hearts.

At this time, the new monarch of the Qin State had just ascended the throne, which was a critical time for the transfer of power.

The new monarch Yingji has been a proton in the Yan State for a long time, and his reputation in Xianyang is not obvious, except for Wei Ran, Qi Rong and other courtiers of Chu blood, there are no wings to speak of.

Empress Dowager Xuan knew that several other princes of the royal family, especially Gongzi Zhuang and others, were eyeing the position under Yingji's buttocks.

In the palace, his position is also unstable, and there is also the Empress Dowager Huiwen (the wife of King Huiwen Yingsi and the biological mother of King Wu Yingdang) on it.

At such a moment, the Qin State can be described as a strong foreign power.

But the more this is the case, the more you can't show cowardice in front of the Chu State!

Although Empress Dowager Xuan has the blood of the Chu royal family, now as the empress dowager of Qin, her son is the new monarch of Qin...... Of course, that ass has to sit on the side of the Qin State.

Drag it out!
