King Qi waved his hand and withdrew from the maids who were waiting in the hall.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and went directly to the point, and then heard Chen Chao say straight to the point: "His Royal Highness King Qi, I need your help, and you also need my help, I am here to rescue my daughter, and you are to rescue Queen Xiao, both of them are held in the palace, and our purpose is the same." ”

Chu Zhong poured two cups of tea, one to Chen Chao, and one to his eldest niece Chu Yunmei, "The prime minister did not hesitate to risk his life and came to Jinling, my Chu State, and his love for his daughter is touching...... The prime minister is right, you and I have the same purpose, to save people from the palace. ”

"How about you and me?" Chen Chao stretched out his hand and looked at Chu Zhong, he believed that Chu Zhong would not refuse him.

Chu Zhong held Chen Chao's outstretched palm, "I can't ask for it!" ”

Chu Yunmei joined in, "Count me in too!" My purpose is a little different from yours, you want to save people from the palace, and I want to kill people in the palace! ”

Chu Zhong looked at Chu Yunmei and didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescing to her joining.

Chu Zhong sighed: "Now that the palace is heavily guarded, although I am the king of Chu Qi, I have never been able to enter the palace, let alone save people from the palace." My eldest brother now has hostages in his hands, and he has nothing to fear, and I am too passive to find a way to change this situation. ”

Chen Chao nodded.

Right now, you're really too passive.

Not to mention that Emperor Chu has Tangbao and Empress Xiao as hostages in his hands, but now he is located in Jinling, Chu State, the base camp of Emperor Chu, and he needs to be very careful when he acts, if not, he will be served by others, not to mention saving people.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Chao said slowly:

"Half a month later, my Daji mission will arrive in Jinling, bring the gunpowder formula to exchange people with the Chu Emperor, in order to receive the mission, the Chu Emperor will definitely hold a banquet in the palace, and everyone can enter the palace at that time." Chen Chao said.

"What?! You're going to trade your daughter for a gunpowder formula? Chu Zhong didn't expect it at all and stood up.

Although he is a Chu person, he has been in the capital city for many years, and he knows the power and importance of gunpowder, which is the confidence of Daji to stand on the top of the world, and whoever has gunpowder can dominate the world.

Chen Chao actually wanted to exchange gunpowder for her daughter?

This was something Chu Zhong didn't expect at all.

"You don't have to be so excited, it's just a nominal change, not really a change, if you don't take this name, how can Emperor Chu receive the embassy in the palace?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhong slowly sat down.

In his heart, he actually didn't want Emperor Chu to have gunpowder.

Although the state of Chu is the homeland where he was born and raised, he hopes that Daji will win in the future national war.

Chen Chao looked at everyone and said, "At that time, the banquet for the reception of the mission is the best time for us to take action and rescue the people we want to rescue, but before that, we still need to do something." ”

Chen Chao looked at Chu Zhong and said, "I need His Royal Highness the King of Qi to hold the jade seal of the Chu State these days, privately recruit a group of courtiers, and speak for us at the banquet at that time." ”

Chu Zhong thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is simple, I have been secretly contacting courtiers these days. ”

These days, the Emperor of Chu refused to see Chu Zhong.

Chu Zhong naturally would not sit idly by, and had already begun to contact the courtiers.

Among them, the old prime minister Xu Zhenghou is the key object of his contact.

"What about you, I'm going to contact the courtiers, what are you going to do?" Chu Zhong asked.

Chen Chao looked out the window, "Kick the hall!" ”

.....

Today's imperial courts of various countries have long reneged on the agreement to exterminate the warriors of the rivers and lakes. With the continuous friction between countries, swords and soldiers met each other, and national wars began, and the spirit of martial arts once again prevailed in the market.

In particular, the two kingdoms of Daji and Chu even encouraged the people to practice martial arts with high-ranking officials, gold, silver and jewelry.

Jinling as the capital of the Chu State, these years, the street is less than some talented people and talented women who spit articles, but the martial arts halls that teach people to practice martial arts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, in order to facilitate management, the Chu court has planned all the martial arts halls to Tangshan Street.

Although the martial arts hall is not as good as the century-old Jianghu sect, those who dare to open a martial arts hall in Jinling are definitely not bad.

There are 36 martial arts halls on Tangshan Street, and the owners of the halls are all equipped with unique skills, and outsiders who want to open martial arts halls here need to come to the door one by one to challenge and win more than half of the martial arts halls before they have a foothold.

In recent months, Tangshan Street has been in the best location, and the most central location has been occupied by a young man.

February 2, the night.

There are few pedestrians on Tangshan Street, and according to custom, everyone goes home to worship the land god.

In the courtyard of a large mansion in the middle of Tangshan Street.

Black Wind King Kong walked into the main hall with a little helplessness on his face:

"Your Majesty does this, you have your own arrangement, Brother Su don't have to go to your heart, Brother Su rest assured, Your Majesty still uses Brother Su's ..... very much in his heart"

In the position in the main hall, there was a young man dressed in white, neither male nor female, when the black wind King Kong walked in with two cans of wine, he was doing needlework with stitches and threads, embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks, which looked lifelike from a distance.

This scene, anyone who looks at it, will find it extremely strange.

How can a man do needlework and do it so well? Even the embroidery girls in the palace are ashamed of themselves.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Su embroidery is good at.

As the eighth disciple of Guigu, because of the limitations of the exercises, his natal weapon is a small embroidery needle, and he is also practicing needlework.

Hearing Black Wind King Kong speak, Su Xiu raised his eyes and looked.

This is a great monk wearing cloth clothes, and his three brothers are called the Four Great King Kongs, the mainstay of the Yanyu Building, and the five great bodhisattvas, the two elders of the netherworld, and the ten swordsmen.

"You don't want to talk about the funerals of your two brothers, why do you have time to come to me?" Su Xiudao.

Hearing this, Black Wind King Kong choked his wrist and sighed, "It seems that Brother Su is still blaming Your Majesty." Also, this matter rests on me, and I am also angry, Prime Minister Daji's weakness was caught by Brother Su and my brothers, but in the end, he cheapened that Dao Gu, and even let that Dao Gu rob Su Brother Chu of the position of the national teacher. ”

Su Xiu is the eighth disciple of Guigu, half a year ago, the Chu Emperor recruited him, and promised that as long as he did his errand well, he was the only national teacher of the Chu State, so he went to the territory of Daji to attack the Chen Dynasty's family and successfully brought back the Chen Dynasty's daughter.

But after the matter was completed, the Emperor of Chu betrayed his word and gave the position of the national teacher of Chu to her former enemy, her seventh senior sister Jiang Linglong!

And for him, he was just given a martial arts hall on Tangshan Street as a reward, how could Su Xiu not be angry with Emperor Chu.
