Chapter 708 Shameful

"Nonsense!"

Xiang Liang felt a headache when he heard the news from Pengcheng.

"Wu Xinjun, the young master has demonstrated the majesty of our Chu army this time."

The staff beside him said this, but Xiang Liang looked impatient.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Shao Yu's temper should really change. It's been so long, but he's still so willful."

At this moment, Xiang Liang's wife came in from outside and reported.

"Wu Xinjun, King Wei is here."

Xiang Liang looked unhappy and waved his hand.

"Invite King Wei to come in."

Xiang Liang is a minister of the Chu State, and Wei Jiu is the king of the Wei State. But as soon as they met, Wei Jiu wanted to accuse him.

"My brother is ignorant, I hope Lord Wu Xin can forgive me."

"What did the king say? Yu'er acted wantonly. What does it have to do with Wei?"

Both sides sat down, Wei Jiu and Xiang Liang were both a little embarrassed. After a long time, Wei Jiu spoke.

"Young Master Xiang is really brave. With only 800 men, he captured Suiyang."

"Your Majesty is joking. Now everyone here knows that Shao Yu used a city in exchange for a general from the Kingdom of Wei. This matter may have reached the ears of King Qi."

Wei wanted Suiyang to expand its territory and influence. This is Wei Jiu's biggest purpose in participating in this alliance.

But neither the Chu army nor the Wei army has the power to control that area for the time being.

Not long ago, Xiang Shaoyu led 800 people to capture Suiyang, killed the leader of the largest rebel army in the area, and surrendered the rest.

But then, Xiang Shaoyu used this city to exchange for Wei's captain Zhong Lihuan.

However, Wei Jiu's younger brother Wei Bao was also a bold guy. One dared to give, the other dared to ask, and the deal was quickly reached.

Now the Wei army's troops have entered Suiyang, and the Chu army has also given way.

But the question is, what will Qi State think?

The King of Qi thought that Chu and Wei had already reached a tacit agreement, and the purpose of holding this alliance was to delay time so that they could smoothly divide the land left by Zhang and Chu.

Once King Qi turns his back, there will be no need to continue this alliance. But there is another important proposition in this alliance, and that is for all countries to join forces to resist the imperial army.

"Wu Xinjun, what should we do next?"

Xiang Liang glanced at Wei Jiu. The other party's words were very respectful and his attitude was good. It seemed that he wanted to follow Chu's lead.

But Wei Jiu obviously didn't want to spit out the meat he had eaten.

It was impossible to return the city. After all, Wei officials and troops had already moved from Chenliu to Suiyang immediately.

"I have sent an envoy to see King Qi. I hope he can understand!"

Xiang Liang didn't have any good ideas and could only take one step at a time.

"Yes, the envoys from King Zhao and King Yan have arrived. The armies of the two countries are currently confronting each other. I am afraid they need a chance to resolve the misunderstanding."

…

Chang'an.

The six sages from the farm family sat together and looked at the reply letter that had just come from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A long series of articles with only one core meaning.

I won’t fight!

"Zhao Shuang said that the promised date was coming, and he waited for three days and three nights, but we never came. Since we broke the promise, there is no need to come again now."

"Nonsense, when the appointment came, he hid in Qin's army for three days and three nights. How could we find him?"

"Now how to do?"

"If we leave like this, I'm afraid our trip will be in vain."

"But there are many experts around him, so it's impossible for us to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Zhao Shuang refused to fight, and the Six Sages of the Farm Family had no good solution.

Just when the six people were a little troubled, there was a burst of noise outside the window.

The soldier opened the second-story window and looked out. On the straight street, a neat cavalry team was marching quickly on the street.

The soldier frowned and looked along the long road. On the school field in the distance, a large number of cavalry troops were gathering.

"Is this the Tiger Army?"

…

"Do these six old guys really think I'm stupid?"

Xiaomeng sat next to Zhao Shuang and glanced around.

The alliance between princes did not affect the prosperity of this region at all. But there were not many people in this famous inn in Xuedi today.

"Then if you hide like this, those six old guys won't just give up!"

Zhao Shuang laughed loudly, with an expression on his face that I had expected.

"I'm not even in Guanzhong, what can they do?"

At this time, the owner of the inn was also a cook. He was a bit chubby and came over carrying a dish.

Xiaomeng took one look at the dish. It was very delicate. Her eyes widened and her first reaction was to hold Zhao Shuang's hand.

"Have you brought any money?"

Seeing that the fat boss was still there, Zhao Shuang broke away from Xiao Meng's hand.

"Am I, Zhao Shuang, the kind of person who eats for free without giving me any money?"

The table was filled with more and more dishes, and Zhao Shuang ate without any burden. But Xiaomeng looked at the food on the table and couldn't eat it. She was thinking about finding an excuse to escape later, lest Zhao Shuang escape first.

"Shopkeeper, where is your backyard?"

Xiaomeng just asked, and Zhao Shuang scolded him.

"Silly old ladies, shut up, you're in disgrace! Eat quickly and don't get any ink stains!"

The door outside opened, and Thief Zhi walked in. When he saw Zhao Shuang, he bowed.

"The news came from the Qi army. When the King of Qi heard that Wei had occupied Suiyang, he was furious and his chariots stopped immediately."

"Tian Dan didn't return to Linzi right away, which is considered a good temper."

A smile appeared on Thief Zhi's face, and he cupped his hands.

"I see that King Qi also knows in his heart that their biggest enemy is the giant, so they don't dare to turn around so easily."

"I'm here, but he's still hanging on halfway. It seems it's time to urge him."

At this moment, the fat cook came out, saw Robber Zhi, and said hello.

"Xiao Zhi is here, have you eaten?"

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry. I came all the way and didn't even eat. I was just thinking about the fish you cooked."

"Then you're late. Today's fish are all covered by the giants."

"Roasted chicken, pig's trotters, whatever."

"That's gone. It's also given to the giant."

"Then do everything for me first. Cook Ding, you don't know how fast I ran along this way..."

Robber Zhi seemed to be really hungry, so he pushed the cook towards the kitchen, chattering all the way.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Xiao Meng looked at the table full of empty plates and Zhao Shuang, who was burping contentedly, with a cold face, and shouted.

"Zhao Dabao, you are playing tricks on me again!"

"Didn't I tell you to eat quickly?"

Xiaomeng was a little angry. Zhao Shuang didn't leave any of the dishes on the table for her.

"I don't care, I'm still hungry! Order me some more food."

At this moment, the sound of thieves came from the back kitchen.

"Cook Ding, why do you only have one piece of sauce meat left here?"

"The last bit of ingredients is gone. I'll go get new ingredients tomorrow."

"Never mind, I'll eat first."

…

Zhao Shuang shrugged his shoulders and looked at Xiao Meng. It seems to be saying, you heard it all.

Xiaomeng covered her mouth, looking aggrieved.

Zhao Shuang burped and comforted.

"Fortunately, you Taoists know how to live without grains!"
