"My Majesty said that Dragon City and the Kingdom of Chu will be ruled by dividing the river. The south of the Yangtze River belongs to our Dragon City, and the territory north of the Yangtze River is your territory of the Kingdom of Chu!"
Long Wei's actions were too fast, and because the Chu State focused its defenses in the north to prevent the Qin army from moving south, the entire southern Chu State was almost defenseless, and it was not expected that Longcheng would suddenly attack Kuaiji, who was defenseless.
As a result, the entire Jianghu County fell into the hands of Longcheng and there was no time to resist.
Therefore, Chen Xian took the initiative to send Shouchun as an envoy to negotiate with the Chu State.
Both Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan had ugly expressions on their faces. They thought they had figured out Cheng Xi's character, but they didn't expect that the other party unexpectedly went out of their way and took the initiative to send troops to Jianghu County to divide the entire Chu State into two parts along the Yangtze River.
"Oh, I forgot, your Majesty also said that Longcheng is only here to inform the King of Chu, not to negotiate with you!" Chen Xian looked at the civil and military officials of the Chu Kingdom and continued.
"Cheng Yu thinks that by occupying Jianghu County, he can really take Jianghu County as his own?" Xiong Qi looked at Chen Xian indifferently and asked.
Even he, as the king of Chu, had no involvement in the aristocratic forces in the south of the Chu State. Therefore, although the south belonged to the Chu State, it would not listen to Shouchun at all.
"This is your second gift to the King of Chu!" Chen Xian clapped his hands, and Long Wei, who was accompanying him, brought up a lipstick wooden box.
Xiong Qi frowned and watched Long Wei open the box. Four lipstick boxes were filled with skulls embalmed with lime, and his expression suddenly changed.
Even if Xiong Qi didn't recognize each of the heads, he had seen them before. They were all nobles from the southern part of the Chu Kingdom!
The expressions of the civil and military officials above the Shouchun Court suddenly changed. Many of them were from the aristocratic forces in the south, but they never expected that Longcheng would do such a great job and actually kill all the nobles.
"Your Majesty said, if you want to blame Xiang Yan, blame Xiong Qi. If they hadn't instigated the rebellion of the nobles in Longcheng, nothing like this would have happened!" Chen Xian said with a perfunctory salute.
"Since ancient times, loyal ministers do not serve two masters, and virgin women do not serve two husbands. It was you who broke the rules first, so we are like this!" Chen Xian continued.
The rebellion in Longcheng broke the rules and disrupted the general order. Therefore, in order to prevent the recurrence of the Longcheng incident, the southern nobles of Chu State became the scapegoats.
"Also, your Majesty also said that if the King of Chu wants to fight, Dragon City will accompany him to the end. Dragon City has been beaten to pieces anyway, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, the entire Chu Kingdom will be beaten to pieces and given to King Qin's brother.
Make a gift." Chen Xian looked at Xiong Qi and the civil and military officials of Chu State threateningly.
"Therefore, whether the King of Chu signs this letter of credence or not, it makes no difference to Longcheng at all!" Chen Xian left the letter of credence at the Shouchun Palace, waved his sleeves, and walked out magnanimously.
"Unforgivable!" When Chen Xian was there, the entire Shouchun Palace was silent. However, when Chen Xian walked out of the hall, the whole court was boiling and furious.
"Kill him!" Xiong Qi said with red eyes.
"Haha, it's really Chu!" Chen Xian looked at the guards of the King's Palace of Chu who surrounded him, and calmly looked at Xiong Qi who was standing in front of the hall.
"King Chu, are you sure you want to kill me?" Chen Xian showed no fear.
"Kill!" Xiong Qi looked at Chen Xian and spit out murderous intent from between his teeth.
"Do you really want to kill the King of Chu?" Chen Xian ignored the Chu army approaching him and continued to ask.
Xiong Qi frowned, wondering what else Chen Xian could rely on.
"The envoy from the State of Qi has arrived!" Suddenly, the master of ceremonies sang along.
A group of Qi envoys also walked into the palace, and happened to see the Chu army besieging Chen Xian, who was standing upright.
Jimo looked at the Chu army, then at Xiong Qi, and finally at Chen Xian. He was a little puzzled as to why there were so many imperial troops besieging an envoy who upholds integrity in the palace of the King of Chu.
"Stop!" Xiong Qi looked at Chen Xian who was laughing at him, and finally knew what Chen Xian relied on!
Chen Xian was betting that he would not dare to kill the envoys of other countries in front of the envoys of Qi.
Now he really regrets why he recognized the annexation of Dragon City in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't be as entangled as he is now.
If he killed an envoy from another country, what would the Qi State think of him? Would they still dare to send an envoy to Chu?
If Chu cannot form an alliance with Qi, can Chu withstand Qin's attack?
"King Chu, there is no need to give me gifts!" Chen Xian laughed and strode outside Shouchun Palace.
After all, Xiong Qi did not dare to order Chen Xian to be killed in the palace.
"The Prime Minister is really not afraid?" After leaving the Shouchun Palace, Long Wei Feng Jingcai, who was accompanying him, asked.
He was really impressed. No wonder Chen Xianneng had always been Long Jun's right-hand man. His performance today was enough for him to learn from him for a lifetime.
In front of the king of a country and the civil and military officials of the dynasty, he can speak harshly and provocatively, and he can face danger without fear of swords and axes.
"Stop talking, go back to the post house quickly, I want to change clothes!" Chen Xian stopped Feng Jing and got into the carriage directly.
"..." Only then did Feng Jing and Long Wei see that Chen Xian had actually left every step in the palace of the King of Chu!
When he returned to the post house, Feng Jingcai looked at Chen Xian doubtfully and asked, "How did the Prime Minister know that Qi State had an envoy to visit him today?"
"My surname is Chen! Tian's name is Chen!" Chen Xian said calmly.
"Ah?" Only then did Feng Jing realize that the person in front of him was not only a great Confucian scholar and the prime minister of Longcheng, but also a descendant of the royal family of Qi!
"Hurry up and contact the Mo family, rent their Suzaku, and rush back to Dragon City tonight!" Chen Xian continued.
"Xiong Qi is a little cruel. He doesn't dare to kill us in front of the Qi envoys, nor does he dare to kill us in the palace, but that doesn't mean he doesn't dare to kill us outside the palace."
"Hire some killers to kill us, and then blame others. Although your Majesty will definitely avenge us, we will still die after all!"
"So, leave quickly!"
Chen Xian was still afraid of death, so he took the Dragon Guards to stay at the Spring Equinox Pavilion of Shouchun in Mojia, waiting for Suzaku to set off back to Dragon City.
The fact is indeed as Chen Xian expected. After receiving the envoy of Qi, Dr. Jimo, Xiong Qi originally wanted to endure the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the world. Unfortunately, after becoming the Queen of Chu, his self-cultivation seemed to be gone, and he only felt that
Ren became more and more angry as he thought about it, so he decisively sent the Book of Songs swordsmen to assassinate Chen Xian and his party.
Unfortunately, in the post house, Chen Xian and Long Wei left the building empty. When they searched again, they found the Mo family, and they had already left on the Suzaku.
"Next time I come here, maybe this place should not be called the Palace of the King of Chu, but should be renamed the Palace of the King of Qin or the Palace of the Dragon Lord!" Chen Xian said calmly as the Suzaku flew high, leaning on the porthole and looking down.
"That's for sure!" Feng Jing also said with a smile.
They not only escaped this time, but also withdrew all Longcheng's envoys from the Chu State, which meant that Longcheng and the Chu State had completely broken off, and there was no longer any diplomatic relations, even vicious ones!
