Emperor Chu sat behind the imperial court and looked at Xu Qing in front of him with a ghostly expression on his face: "I really didn't expect that your boy could actually become the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Xu Qing's eyes widened: "You don't believe that I can be the leader of the martial arts alliance. Why did you let me go in the first place? Couldn't you just send General Liu there?"
Emperor Chu coughed and made an excuse: "This...this...isn't this because I want to train your ability? Look at you, won't you become the leader of the martial arts alliance? You have indeed lived up to me and the emperor's brother.
expectations.”
Xu Qing obviously didn't believe Emperor Chu's lies: "Is this what your Majesty means?"
"Of course... otherwise... why else?" Seemingly feeling guilty, Emperor Chu immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that you also met King Zhao Guoming in Liuzhou?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "Yes, I did not expect that King Ming, who had disappeared in the Zhao Kingdom for a long time, would actually appear in the Chu Kingdom with undying ambitions to plan for great things."
Emperor Chu pondered: "King Ming can be considered a talent, but it is a pity that Emperor Zhao concentrated military power in his own hands and was wary of the generals around him. Even if King Ming could win over some generals, he would not be able to instigate many Zhao troops."
, he shouldn’t not understand, but even so, he still insists on going, is there something unspeakable?”
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's hard to tell... This minister doesn't know."
Emperor Chu sighed and said, "I am not very interested in the ambition of King Ming. It's just that the emperor made a contract with the State of Zhao in order to concentrate on attacking the State of Zhou. When the State of Chu was invaded, the State of Chu
Military assistance must be provided free of charge. Now that Zhou has not paid back the money, if Zhao asks Chu for help..."
"Sigh, if I had known that Zhao State was a piece of cake, I shouldn't have used this condition as a bargaining chip and let them go their own way. Why would it be such a headache?"
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Even if the State of Zhao asks us for help, we can ignore it."
Emperor Chu asked curiously: "Oh? Why is this?"
Xu Qing replied: "Because the contract signed between Chu and Zhao was: within ten years, when Zhao is invaded by an enemy or foreign tribe, we will provide free military assistance to Zhao. The rebellion of King Ming is Zhao's own internal affairs."
, neither an enemy country nor a foreign race, but the struggle for imperial power of Zhao State itself. Whether it is rational or legal, Chu State has neither the obligation nor the right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries."
Emperor Chu couldn't help but be startled when he heard Xu Qing's words, and then said in surprise: "So that's how you and the emperor made the contract with the State of Zhao. Yes, you are thoughtful and thoughtful."
Xu Qing continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, even if the Zhao State is really invaded by enemies and foreigners, our Chu State actually has many excuses. After all, we are the makers of the original contract, and we can still find loopholes if we want."
Speaking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel like an insurance company.
When signing the contract, what he said was better than what he sang.
But if something happens, there are only two items that will not be compensated immediately.
It's not compensation...
That’s not even compensation...
For a moment, Xu Qing felt strong moral condemnation in her heart.
When Emperor Chu heard Xu Qing's words, he thought for a while and said, "Zhao has been invaded by foreign tribes and we still have to save it."
Xu Qing raised his hands in admiration and said, "Your Majesty is kind and virtuous."
Emperor Chu shook his head and said: "No, that is our Chu State's territory after all, how can it fall into the hands of foreigners so easily?"
"Huh?!" Xu Qing's cupped hands had not yet been put down but he immediately stood there in a daze: "The State of Zhao is the territory of our State of Chu? When... did this happen? Where do we start talking about it?"
Emperor Chu waved his hand and said: "Since ancient times, the land of the Central Plains has been an inseparable part of our country of Chu. Our country of Chu is the orthodox of the Central Plains. Do you understand this since ancient times?"
Xu Qing came back to his senses, coughed and said, "I...understand."
No matter how serious the country is divided, even if it is divided into three parts, no one will be able to stand on his own as a clan.
Chu State believes that it is the orthodox one in the Central Plains, Zhao State and Zhou State also think so, although Zhao State is feeling a little frustrated now.
We are all from the Central Plains and always abide by the principle of one Central Plains.
Zhao State and Zhou State?
Can that be considered an enemy country?
It has been an inseparable part of our country of Chu since ancient times!
Nowadays, it can be regarded as nothing more than brotherly discord and civil strife.
Aliens want to seize our country’s inalienable territory?
There are no doors!
I'll give you all the ashes!
The Zhao State is easy to bully, and the royal family is currently weak and conciliatory to foreigners, but our Chu State is not a vegetarian!
After Emperor Chu made the Chu State's position clear to Xu Qing, he began to look at Xu Qing with suspicion: "By the way, after General Liu came back, he said that his skills were inferior and he missed the position of leader. You became the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Is it true?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "General Liu naturally does not dare to deceive the emperor. I have indeed become the leader of the martial arts alliance."
Emperor Chu asked with doubt on his face: "Just you?"
Through Emperor Chu's questioning expression, Xu Qing felt an insult: "Your Majesty, are you looking down on me?"
Emperor Chu was very worried and said: "I still know how much you weigh. I guess even if I give you one hand, you may not be able to beat me, let alone General Liu, a famous general. If we talk about seniority,
, his relationship with the imperial brother or his senior brother, what do you want to fight against?"
Xu Qing coughed and said: "Actually... In fact, defeating General Liu is the credit of the deputy alliance leader. I just defeated the deputy alliance leader."
When Emperor Chu heard Xu Qing's words, he asked curiously: "Deputy leader? Who is this deputy leader? He can beat General Liu, but he can't beat you. Don't tell me that I am your wife. Just because of your wife's current status
Her body is probably no match for General Liu's...and she didn't go with you."
"Besides, General Liu is our most brave general in Chu State. How did this deputy leader defeat General Liu?"
Xu Qing said sincerely: "General Liu was injured by the deputy alliance leader's sword energy and lost the competition."
Emperor Chu said with a dark look on his face: "Injured by sword energy? Can you show me the sword energy? It's ridiculous!"
Until now, Emperor Chu has never heard of anyone who can condense his inner strength into a sword to produce sword energy that can hurt people. This guy said that General Liu was injured by the sword energy. What a fool?
Xu Qing pursed her lips and said: "The deputy leader is Princess Yongle, and the sword energy was also released. General Liu also lost in this way. How about you send Princess Yongle to ask?"
"Xue'er? Then it's okay..." Emperor Chu felt relieved immediately.
Suddenly, Emperor Chu realized something was wrong and stood up immediately: "Xue'er went to Liuzhou with you?!"
Xu Qing looked at Emperor Chu and said, "I'm back..."
Emperor Chu sat back again after hearing this, sighed and said: "That's all, I know that this girl Xue'er can play with you, don't let the emperor know about this, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around, go down
Go down."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Emperor Chu asked: "Is there anything else? What's the matter?"
Xu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "That's right. Your Majesty, have you ever thought about adding a martial arts event to the imperial court?"
