The reason why Jia Xu did this was simply to make Duan Guo's court reconsider the pros and cons, and also to give Emperor Duan a chance to think clearly about which ally to choose was more suitable.

From Duan Guo to the princes and ministers, down to the traders and pawns, almost everyone understands that the current attitude of the Tang State is only temporary. There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends between countries.

It's all about sizing up the situation for the sake of profit.

As long as it can make Duan Guo's court reconsider and take some things into consideration, for Jia Xu, this mission to Duan Guo will be considered a success.

Let’s not talk about Duan Guo for now, because of Jia Xu’s words, they really fell into thinking again.

What is the existence of Tang State?

It's a hungry wolf.

A long time ago, they captured the territory currently occupied by Duan Kingdom.

If it weren't for Shang Tianhong, the Tuogu minister who later promoted to Emperor Gaozong, to turn the tide and defeat the treacherous minister Sima Kong while regaining the lost territory, I am afraid that the current Duan Kingdom would not have a foothold at all.

Speaking of Shang Tianhong, it is also a pity.

If he could find a way to escape from the trap specially set for him by Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming, then Emperor Duan of today would definitely not be Chang Sunye.

After all, Changsun Ye had a high prestige in the Jin army back then, but he still could not surpass Shang Tianhong, the minister of Tuogu.

Later, after Shang Tianhong died, Chen Qingzhi began to purge the Jin officials. He beheaded many generals in the army, including those who had been defeated by Wei.

With people like them accompanying Shang Tianhong on the road, he would not be alone.

There are only four words to describe Shang Tianhong in the history of Wei: "He died of foolish loyalty."

He didn't even get a posthumous title after his death.

Chang Sunye inherited Shang Tianhong's legacy and quickly became the world's top hegemon. After these years of hard work, Duan Guo is now a country with 300,000 war-ready soldiers.

Three hundred thousand sounds bluffing, but compared with the nearly 1.5 million troops in Wei State, it is still far inferior.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of supplies needed to be raised for the expedition, and the Wei State was currently experiencing an economic downturn, otherwise, there would be nothing to fear from the sanctions imposed by the four countries.

Duan Guo neither accepted nor refused the things sent by the Tang envoy. Instead, he put the gifts aside and started talking about his feelings.

This subtle change made Tang Chen worried. He wrote a letter overnight and told the Emperor of Tang about what happened here.

The content of the letter is very simple and can be summed up in four words, ‘There is a change of heart’.

On the other side of Liang Kingdom, Huang Cheng also began to pursue the victory.

He planned to blackmail the Liang Kingdom severely regarding the border conflict.

Although I don't really expect the Liang Kingdom to pay compensation or do anything else, if they raise the price first, they can make a counter-offer. If they still pay, the border issue will be solved.

Liang Emperor Xu Fengyun would definitely not agree to Huang Cheng's unreasonable request. He discussed with Li Yijun for a long time and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Even Liang State also sent envoys to Wei State.

The purpose of sending envoys was to ask for money from Wei State.

If they follow the example of Wei State and do the same, this matter will be extremely troublesome.

They are discussing who should be sent.

After talking for a long time, Xu Fengyun decided to let his sister Xu Jiao go to Wei State.

Sending a woman as an envoy to another country has never happened before in the history of nations.

This behavior of Liang Kingdom attracted the attention of the world.

Zhao Changqing is currently fishing in a creek outside Luoyang City.

There were only a few guards around him.

For him now, he doesn't need too many guards around him to protect him.

As long as you are near the capital, you can use the luck of the two places to fight against the enemy.

Therefore, having more guards becomes a burden.

There were not many entertainment activities in ancient life. As an emperor, he had experienced all the glory and wealth, so he had no special interest in playing with various entertainment projects in ancient times.

It's good to be at peace and go fishing when you have nothing to do.

It was originally something he was very interested in, but after receiving the news from the capital, he felt a little depressed.

Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs were all happening constantly. After becoming the emperor, he gradually felt that every day's life no longer belonged to him.

"Let's go."

He stood up, handed the fishing and other things to the eunuch beside him to put them away, then took off his raincoat and walked slowly towards the capital.

The news I just learned is about the Liang Kingdom sending envoys.

Xu Jiao?

Send a woman over. Will Liang country be deserted?

Outside Luoyang City, Zhuge Liang met Zhao Changqing who was returning to the city.

He looked at Zhuge Liang curiously and said, "If you weren't waiting for me in the Xuanzheng Palace, why did you rush to the city gate to intercept me?"

Zhuge Liang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the investigation by Jin Yiwei, we know that Xu Jiao is from the so-called mysterious force."

"Um?!"

Zhao Changqing frowned, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

Zhao Changqing used state power to investigate that mysterious force for a long time, but the information obtained was very little.

There are also many senior experts in the Dao Palace who are helping me inquire, but even so, the mysterious force is still not found.

But now, Xu Jiao, who was born in a mysterious force, is Xu Fengyun's biological sister, and is also the minister of envoy on this mission to Wei. Isn't all this too much of a coincidence?

"How did Jin Yiwei investigate this?" Zhao Changqing asked.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Jin Yiwei has been investigating the mysterious organization for many years, and has obtained many clues based on the meteorite and Feng Chan. The person who assassinated Your Majesty had a vermilion-colored chess piece carved on his wrist, and the wrist of Xu Jiao, the eldest princess of Liang Kingdom,

It is also found on the Internet, so it is not difficult to deduce that this woman is likely to come from that mysterious force."

Zhao Changqing had a gloomy face and said calmly: "Don't leave this matter to the Jinyi guards. Let the factory guards handle it. Tell Zhao Gao that all the people from the Dongchang in the capital will be dispatched to monitor me closely.

With Xu Jiao's every move, I want her to come to the Kingdom of Wei safe and sound."

Zhuge Liang understood His Majesty the Emperor's intention, nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Changqing still had a gloomy face. He now wanted to return to the harem quickly and tell his eldest sister about this matter.

The moment he entered the city gate, Zhao Changqing said another word to Zhuge Liang, saying: "In recent years, you and Jin Yiwei have gotten too close."

He did not hope that if one day his son inherited the throne of emperor, he would become the second Liu Chan.

When Zhuge Liang heard the emperor's words, his heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and remained silent.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong. All of this was to better serve His Majesty and the country and contribute his own value.

Zhao Changqing took a long breath and murmured: "Xu Jiao? A woman who is really interesting. Well, I will wait for you in Luoyang!"

Will the emergence of mysterious forces bring changes to the current situation in various countries?

This is what Zhuge Liang is considering.
