The large auditorium was full of laughter and cheers, and the graduating students were everywhere. They had received better honors than they had imagined. Each one of them shed tears for their three years of hard work.
Su Lu and Chang Ning walked on one side, and a few personal guards intentionally or unintentionally separated the crowd who wanted to come over.
Xie Wan was an important official in the imperial court and received the news. After giving orders to his personal guards, he walked straight towards Su Lu.
"Your Majesty is about to enter the palace. Take me with you to see what the people of Qin look like."
After getting on the carriage, Su Lu sat down on one side with a strange look on his face. Li Chengfeng actually wrote a handwritten letter and invited him to visit Western Qin, saying that he wanted to see the real difficulties faced by the Qin people.
What kind of difficulties can the people of Qin face?
Su Lu thought with some doubts.
"My lord, a message was sent from the palace to invite me, the general of the Han army, to go to Qin, but the reason was not mentioned. My lord, do you know the reason?"
Su Lu shook his head, "Although I got a personal letter from Li Chengfeng, it didn't mention this. Maybe the Qin people have their own plans."
Xie Wan laughed: "Yes, the Qin people's plan is nothing more than to let you, the prince, enter the Western Qin Dynasty, be used by them, become a general of the Qin army, and take over the land of our Han country without any effort."
Su Lu shook his head: "I only had one battle with Li Chengfeng, so I really don't know what his character is like."
When the palace arrived, Xie Wan opened the carriage door and her voice echoed in the carriage.
"The prince said that there are only interests between countries, so what kind of character commitment is there? At most, when the interests are consistent, the relationship between the two countries will look a little better."
When Su Lu got off the carriage, the Qinzheng Hall was already in front of him.
Under the guidance of the young eunuch, the two entered the main hall and saw many high-ranking officials in the main hall. In the open space in the middle, several envoys from the State of Qin were standing.
When Ma Yuan saw Su Lu, his face lit up, he clasped his fists and said, "I haven't seen you for several years. Your prince is always well?"
Su Lu waved his hand: "It's a good thing that I can't see you. Just like the last time we met, soldiers met each other on the battlefield. It would be better not to see each other at all."
Ma Yuan burst out laughing: "Your Majesty has a thorough understanding, and Ma Yuan admires it."
"Your Majesty, Li Shuai sincerely invites you to visit our Qin Kingdom. This will not be a bad thing for your Majesty or the Han Kingdom."
Xie Wan said next to him: "That's not certain. We are in our country of Han now. Master Ma dares to say this. Once the prince falls into the control of your country, can Mr. Ma guarantee that your country will not force the prince to stay?"
"
Ma Yuan opened his mouth when he heard the words. Thinking of the corrupt war situation in the country, he couldn't say anything against his will. Yes, according to His Majesty's temperament, if he controls the prince's whereabouts, he may not be able to release the prince from Qin.
.
On the throne, Li Qing spoke: "Ma Yuan, your request is too unreasonable. Are you inviting the king of the Han Kingdom to the Western Qin Dynasty? I have never heard of anyone who would give his own pillars to other countries. Master Ma, you are too unreasonable."
You are looking down on our country, Han."
Qian Qianyi scolded and said: "Ma Yuan, don't be too fanciful. This is the Han Kingdom, and the prince is the pillar of our Han Kingdom. How could he send you as an envoy to the Western Qin Dynasty?"
Yang Biao also said sarcastically: "The land of Qin is very mountainous and there is very little arable land. It is not easy to feed people like you. Mr. Ma, although your Qin soldiers are strong, the treatment in the army is very poor. Don't say
Compared with Tang, even my country, Han, is not as good as others. If other methods don't work, I just want to cheat."
Pang De's face was full of defiance: "You come to the door to ask for someone without taking anything. This is what a bad visitor does. Master Ma, you are not the generous person that Qin people should be."
Ma Yuan gave a wry smile, took out a copy of Wence from his arms, raised it above his head, and said with helplessness in his voice.
"My lords, this is serious. We, the Qin State, will naturally pay a price for inviting the prince. How can we just talk in vain as you said?"
The little eunuch took the book and quickly sent it to the imperial steps. Gao Zhan took the book and forwarded it to Li Qing.
Li Qing read the brochure, raised his eyebrows, and handed the brochure to Gao Zhan again.
Gao Zhan walked slowly to the imperial steps and handed the booklet to a young eunuch. The young eunuch did not dare to neglect and gave it to Su Lu for review.
When Su Lu opened the booklet and took a look, his face became surprised.
"Let's put this matter off for later. Going to Qin is not a big deal. It's not worth it."
Su Lu spoke with a somewhat ugly look on his face.
After the tide receded, Ma Yuan pulled Su Lu's sleeve.
"My lord, everything I just said to you is true. If there is any falsehood, I, Ma Yuan, will be killed by three swords and six holes."
Ma Yuan was dragged away on the grounds that he had offended the prince of the county. Several envoys from the State of Qin were also dragged out. The city gate was on fire, which affected Chiyu.
Su Lu looked at Ma Yuan's back and ordered Chang Ning.
"Qin State can pay such a price. It seems that they are determined to win me. There can't be only such a way.
Send the order to mobilize the Imperial Guard Battalion into the city to help defend the city. I want to see whether the Black Flag Army is more powerful or the Imperial Guard Battalion I trained is better."
At night, the imperial guard camp patrolled the city.
Gao Dabaotong led a group of soldiers to blow the wind at the top of the city.
"I heard that our Guards Battalion is coming to the new military academy this time. If we come here, we will just occupy the pit. Our promotion will be hopeless."
A guard with a gun raised said this, his tone full of helplessness.
The guard who was wiping the steel knife next to him said: "You can pull me down, grandson. With your two-legged skills, you still want to be promoted to a general. Just dream."
The scolded guard was a little reluctant: "Gao Dabao's grandson can become a captain, why can't I?"
"Silence"
The Imperial Guard who had spoken before suddenly dropped his spear and lay down on the battlements, staring carefully at the dark area outside the city, his face full of solemnity.
"Send the signal, the opponent is coming."
A moment later, the sound of neat footsteps could be heard on the stairs of the city wall, and an equally large group of Imperial Guards rushed to the top of the city.
Below the city, the Black Flag Army has arrived and is gathering their equipment and preparing to climb the city.
Gao Dabao, who came up with the team, was a little confused. What was going on? Are all the elites of the Qin State so stupid when climbing under the walls of other people's capitals?
"This is probably to show off their muscles to us. They don't look like they want to fight. Look at the black flag soldiers. They are all wearing regular robes. These people should have just come off the battlefield and came to us."
Gao Dabao's expression changed when he heard this. If this is true, then this time is really not a war. The actions of the Black Flag Army are probably not here to capture the prince.
"Come up"
I don't know who shouted.
On the city wall, a Black Flag Army soldier climbed up, stood firm on the city wall, and called back. When he was about to make a move, he saw densely packed guardsmen on the city wall.
