Chapter 711 The Meaning of Today

Mi Lian walked along the long road in the mansion, followed by a large group of internal servants.

At this time, the King of Wei, the King of Qi who came belatedly, and the envoys from Yan and Zhao were at the palace of the King of Chu.

As the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom, she was in charge of all the logistical affairs for this alliance of princes, including the banquet.

"Is there an inn where the cook is also on the list for the dinner?"

"Yes, Princess!"

The chamberlain behind him answered.

"This is an alliance of kings. Is it a little hasty to let such a cook come in to cook?"

"But this is what King Qi asked for. For this reason, Qi State also spent a lot of money in advance to order a batch of seafood from the East China Sea. King Qi also wants to try the roasted deer cooked by the boss of the inn."

Mi Lian frowned, turned around, took out a pearl from her sleeve, and handed it to the chamberlain.

"In this case, don't neglect it. Give this pearl to the owner of an inn, thank him in the name of my princess, and say that yesterday's seafood was delicious."

"promise!"

Mi Lian was a little worried that Zhao Shuang would do something at the dinner and harm Mi Xin. She was also afraid that his identity would be exposed and someone would catch him.

It was with such contradictory feelings that Mi Lian planned to warn Zhao Shuang first.

Beat the grass and scare the snake, so that Zhao Shuang can retreat when he sees the difficulty.

When Mi Lian returned to the party hall, the atmosphere was very depressing.

King Qi's face was sullen and his expression was very ugly.

Since Di County rebelled against the Qin Dynasty, Tian Dan has conquered all the land. At this time, he has controlled half of the land of Jibei, Linzi, Jiaodong and Langya counties. He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command and is very powerful.

Zhang Chu was defeated, and the power of the world changed again, and it was time to divide the territory again.

Although Zhang Chu's territory was vast, the core areas were Chen County, Dang County, Sishui County and Yingchuan County. But now, two of these four counties were occupied by Wei Chu. The remaining Chen County and Yingchuan County are naturally beyond the reach of Qi State.

The King of Qi wanted to negotiate and recognize the territory they now occupied in exchange for Xuedi.

But Chu State was unwilling.

Xuedi was once the fiefdom of Lord Mengchang. After his death, various princes fought. King Min of Qi united with Wei to destroy Xuedi and divided Xuedi.

However, since the princes united to destroy Qi, even though Tian Dan restored the country, Qi's national power has dropped sharply and its borders have shrunk. Chu and Wei took the opportunity to expand, and Jucheng, which was known as one of the five capitals in the past, was lost to Chu. .

Now, out of more practical considerations, the Xiang family's base camp is in Pengcheng. If Xuedi is given to Qi, then there will be no danger to the north of Pengcheng and they will face the Qi army.

This is naturally impossible.

The situation is at a stalemate. Now the armies of Qi, Chu and Wei are facing each other in Langya, Xuejun, Dongjun and other places. The land occupied by each country is incomplete.

In order to break the deadlock, Mi Xin finally made a compromise.

"In this case, our army can withdraw from Langya County. What does King Qi think?"

The Xiang family was in power in Chu State, but Xiang Liang did not object to Mi Xin's words at this time.

"Langya County is originally the land of our Qi State. It was taken by the Chu State. Even if you don't return it, can't I just take it for myself?"

King Qi's words were full of gunpowder and his attitude was quite tough.

Qi is surrounded by theoretical allies and the strategic environment is relatively safe, which also means that Qi can mobilize a large amount of military power.

Xiang Liang snorted coldly.

"If King Qi wants to take it, I, the Xiang family, will naturally not let King Qi down."

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more out of control, Kuai Tong, the envoy of Zhao State, came out.

Kuai Tong was a staff member of Wu Chen. When the military ministers led thousands of people to attack Zhao, it was Kuai Tong who, with the power of his words, persuaded more than 30 cities in Zhao to surrender.

Wu Chen has always trusted Kuai Tong, and sending him here at this time is enough to prove that Wu Chen values ​​​​this alliance.

This is a good opportunity to use the power of the princes to mediate the disputes between Yan and Zhao.

"King Chen died before his achievements were completed, but he had great ambitions to spread all over the world. If Qi and Chu fight at this time, he will just sit back and watch Qin Fu succeed."

Kuai Tong's words temporarily extinguished the anger of both of them.

They all have a big enemy, and that is Zhao Shuang!

"At this time, it is meaningless to compete for the land of one and two counties. Zhao Shuang, the king of Hanyang, gathered a hundred thousand Yulin in Chang'an, and gathered the remaining army of the empire, with a combined army of one million. When Tiger Ben appeared, the world was shocked. I am brave. In a word, the land held by the kings now is not that Zhao Shuang cannot take it, but that Zhao Shuang does not want to take it."

Kuai Tong has a very clear view of the current situation. These princes are competing for Zhang Chu's land, but even if they win it, it doesn't mean it is theirs.

The color outside the mansion gradually became dark, and the servants entered the mansion and lit the lights.

The chamberlain came to report.

"Princess, the cook from an inn has arrived. They said that if they want to roast venison, they will start now."

Mi Lian was a little hesitant. Can she still eat like this?

But Tian Dan was very interested and said loudly.

"How wonderful it is to listen to the advice of a master like Mr. Kuai Tong and to taste the world-famous roasted deer! Let them all come up!"

Mi Lian looked at Tian Dan and nodded.

"Listen to King Qi!"

Mi Lian was a little worried, but she had warned Zhao Shuang beforehand, so I believed he wouldn't come!

"Sister, why are you so distracted?"

Mi Xin looked on and asked in a low voice.

"nothing!"

Mi Lian said something perfunctory, but her eyes were fixed outside the door of the house. Mi Xin showed a playful smile and whispered in her ear.

"Sister, do you think the owner of an inn will be shocked when he sees us?"

The servants of Prince Chu's Mansion helped move the whole deer in. This is a whole deer, which has been skinned, internal organs removed and processed in advance.

Cook Ding ordered the charcoal fire and oven to be set up, and bowed his hands.

"My lords, this deer needs someone to be by your side while it is being roasted. It cannot stop for a moment."

"You go about your business."

King Qi waved his hand and didn't care much.

Mi Lian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that only Cook Ding came, but then, as Cook Ding shouted, her whole heart skipped a beat.

"Dabao, bring in all the sauce quickly."

"I'm coming!"

Zhao Shuang walked in carrying large and small sauce jars, looking very busy.

The cook Ding began to prepare the roasted deer, and Zhao Shuang helped him, taking some space and winking at Mi Lian.

Mi Lian's heart suddenly tightened, her face turned red, as if she had experienced a lot of stimulation, and she spat secretly.

Bah, so frivolous!

Mi Xin, however, chuckled softly and whispered to her sister beside her.

"The boss is really not an ordinary person. There is no stage fright in this scene. When I first came here, I was nervous for a long time."

But Mi Lian didn't have the thought to respond at this time. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look forward.

"Mr. Kuai Tong, please continue."

Listening to King Qi's voice, Mi Lian raised her head and saw Kuai Tong standing in the center of the room, bowing her hands.

"I believe that the greatest justice today is to destroy Qin and kill Zhao Shuang!"
