After Xu Qing left, Shezhao's attendant came in and looked at Ge Luodao: "Your Majesty the Envoy."
Geluo slapped the attendant on the face; "The envoy asked you to check the information, how did you check it?! Didn't you say that he is greedy for money?"
The attendant was also wronged: "He...he is indeed very greedy for money...all the information about this Marquis is described in this way."
Geluo snorted coldly and said, "If we give half of the tax revenue from the two states to that old guy Qin Hui, he will be able to sell his life for us for the rest of his life! I really underestimate this Xu Qing."
The attendant asked, "Lord Messenger, what should we do now?"
Ge Luo said: "The current situation is no longer under our control. We will report to His Majesty as quickly as possible and ask His Majesty to make a decision. If the Chu people successfully reach the border, then there will really be nothing wrong with us abandoning the imperial edict."
Nowadays, no one dares to doubt the power of the Chu State. Even if the Chu State has expressed its intention to attack Shezhao, Shezhao can only seek benefits and ask the Chu State to withdraw its troops.
More than ten years ago, Chu State was able to easily snatch a state from Zhao State, and then took two cities from Zhou State. Now armed with weapons as powerful as grasslands, they collapsed under Chu State's powerful military front.
Incorporated into the rule of Chu State.
And Shezhao took so long that he couldn't even defeat the State of Zhao, which had been in civil strife for a year.
The war is about morale. The Chu State's morale in consecutive battles and victories is unmatched. Moreover, with the power of firearms, She Zhao couldn't even raise the heart to resist when facing the Chu State, let alone fighting with it!
Are they really going to give up the two states they captured from Zhao?
That night, Xu Qing slept soundly, but some people stayed up all night.
next day
When Xu Qing woke up, it was already bright outside. Before Xu Qing could wash up, Wei Xiong walked in and told Xu Qing that Long Binger was here.
After Xu Qing heard this, he put on his clothes and walked out.
Walking outside the camp, Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er and asked, "Are you getting up so early?"
Long Binger shook her head and said, "What will you eat if I don't come?"
After hearing Long Bing'er's bold words, Xu Qing became excited for a moment; "What do you mean..."
Long Bing'er handed Xu Qing a note and said: "This is half a month's supply of food and grass sent by the imperial army this time. If it is verified to be correct, please stamp it."
Xu Qing was immediately discouraged; "It's just a gift of food and grass."
Long Bing'er said inexplicably, "Of course I'm sending food and grass, otherwise what else can I give? What else do you want to eat besides food?"
Xu Qing murmured: "Give yourself to me...really..."
Long Bing'er was so skilled that her face turned red when she heard Xu Qing's words.
He still likes to talk nonsense.
But actually sometimes I feel quite comfortable listening to him talk nonsense.
After the Chu army handed over the food and grass, Xu Qing and Long Bing'er walked out of the military camp.
Originally, Long Bing'er, the captain, would not treat fishing as a job like Xu Qing.
But now that the country is weak and weak, there is nothing we can do. It is Long Bing'er's current job to keep Xu Qing company with her.
If it had been anyone else, Long Bing'er would have turned away and hurried to the border on her own, but she couldn't stand this anger.
But Xu Qing is different after all.
It’s not that Long Bing’er can ignore the love of his children for the sake of his family, country, and world, but that he can have both his family, country, world, and his children’s love at this moment.
Long Binger was naturally happy to go shopping with Xu Qing.
There are still many tourist attractions around the capital of Zhao State. After all, it is the capital of a country.
The most famous one must be the Hanlu Temple in Zhao State.
Buddhism flourished in the Zhao Kingdom, and Hanlu Temple was the largest temple in the Zhao Kingdom. It was said to be very efficacious.
Even the emperor and empress come here every year to pray for blessings and sacrifices, praying for the peace and prosperity of the Zhao country and the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
Since the emperor took the lead, believers were naturally indispensable. There was an endless stream of believers coming and going.
The incense is strong.
Xu Qing really doesn't know how the people of Zhao feel that Hanlu Temple is so effective?
The emperor came here every year to pray for blessings and peace, but what was the result?
Now the imperial edict is about to reach the capital!
It's useless to worship the emperor, so how can they expect that worshiping him will be effective?
If this Hanlu Temple had been opened in Chu State, Xiao Ye would have demolished it long ago.
It was quite rare for the emperor to take the lead in worshiping Buddha.
You must know that since heaven and man sensed it, the emperor has become more noble than all things in the world except being one head lower than the sky.
The Emperor of Chu also held large-scale sacrifices every year, but they were only sacrifices to heaven.
Now it is the turn of Emperor Zhao to not only worship heaven but also worship Buddha by the way?
Forcibly making the emperor not only one level lower than the sky but also one level lower than the Buddha.
Doesn’t this mean that you have nothing to do but degrade yourself?
However, considering that the Emperor of Zhao already had so many mysterious operations, one more would not be too much, and one less would not be a big deal.
Besides, it was on the territory of another country, so it was hard for Xu Qing to say anything.
Because Hanlu Temple has a large number of believers and is funded by the imperial court, its business is booming. Not only has it purchased a large amount of land around the capital, but it also provides various services such as fortune telling, begging for children, and predicting marriage.
Naturally, Xu Qing brought Xu Qing here not to ask for a child, but just to enjoy the scenery casually.
The two of them wandered around Hanlu Temple and came to an open place, where the peach blossoms were in bloom and the fragrance was fragrant.
If there are outsiders, Xu Qing and Long Bing'er will naturally behave themselves and dare not break the rules in the slightest. However, when there are no outsiders around here and only men and women are alone, Xu Qing's restless heart naturally feels a little...
Unable to hold it any longer, he stretched out his hand to grab Long Bing'er's bare hand.
Long Bing'er naturally noticed Xu Qing's little moves, but she had no idea of resisting.
When I participated in the martial arts competition in Liuzhou, I even talked back to him. Holding hands was nothing, it was commonplace.
Just when Xu Qing was about to meet Long Bing'er, and Long Bing'er was leaning towards Xu Qing with her bare hands, she suddenly heard a voice not far away: "Bold!"
Xu Qing and Long Bing'er, who had just been focused on each other, were also startled by the sound.
When the two turned around, they found several young people walking towards them.
Xu Qing looked at the young man and said: "In a pure place of Buddhism, brother, is it a bit against the rules to be so noisy?"
The leader, the young master, snorted coldly: "You, a scumbag, still know that this is a pure place of Buddhism?!"
After saying that, he walked up to Long Bing'er and said, "Miss Long, this person has evil intentions. How could you get together with such a person?"
At the critical moment, Long Bing'er was ruined by this young master. What kind of martial arts skills did she have? Didn't she know that Xu Qing had evil intentions towards her?
Really, I still need you to remind me...
Xu Qing turned to look at Long Bing'er and asked, "Bing'er, who is he?"
Long Bing'er said calmly: "Song Yuan, the son of the Minister of War."
Xu Qing murmured: "Song and Yuan? That's why they were named. Could it be that there is a younger brother and sister named Ming and Qing?"
