Zhao Qi's brows knitted together. After thinking for a moment, he said to Mo Huantan: "Okay, I'll go find the shopkeepers to discuss it right now." Then he stood up and wanted to leave the box.

Mo Huantan still sat firmly and said in a calm tone: "Uncle Zhao Qi, even if you go to the palace to find King Chen at this time, you will not be able to save Chen Guo."

Zhao Qi paused for a moment, turned around and glared at Mo Huantan, then walked away.

Mo Huantan let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he had spent so much time just for this last sentence, and he didn't know if the island owner's strategy would work if the hot-tempered Zhao Qi tried it.

Mo Huantan stood up and walked out of the box. When he walked to the door of the restaurant, Su Liu came in from the outside with a puzzled face: "What did Brother Mo say to Uncle Zhao Qi? Why did he run away?"

Mo said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Su, I advise you to pack away the gold and silver at home as soon as possible. Maybe when Uncle Zhao Qi comes back again, you will all have to follow me to the Chu Kingdom."

Su Liu asked: "Where did Uncle Zhao Qi go?"

Mo Luan said: "He went into the palace to find King Chen. In this case, even if you don't want to leave the Kingdom of Chen, King Chen will definitely order you to follow me."

In the Zhengfeng Hall of Jinyang Palace, Xiao Xun, the leader of Qi State, had just analyzed the war situation in Chen State for King Chen and Chen Guo officials at the court meeting of Chen State. Although everyone saw that the leader of Qi State was short in stature and did not know martial arts.

, but his conversation was quite magnanimous, and he gave accurate instructions in front of a very detailed map of Chen Jing's march. He obviously knew the Chen State well, so the Chen State ministers paid attention to the leader of the Qi State who came to Chen Jing's aid before he even ascended the throne.

, full of admiration.

After the court meeting, King Chen Li Chen saw that the weather was fine, so he invited the leader of Qi to drink tea on Yuntai. Yuntai is the highest point in Jinyang Palace, overlooking the entire Jinyang Palace and even the entire capital city.

Xiao Xun put down his tea cup and said to Li Chen: "Xiao came here in a hurry, just in time for the Chen Dynasty meeting, but he put aside the greetings that King Wei asked me to bring to His Highness, and put them on hold until now."

Li Chen smiled and said: "Master Xiao, although you and I have never met before, we are all very familiar with King Wei. I just want to say one thing to Master Xiao, 'I have admired him for a long time, but it is too late to meet him.'" Master Xiao just now

What he said at the court meeting was very accurate, and it was of great benefit to our Chen State's marching strategy. The Lord Xiao led the troops to return to the Qi State in one fell swoop without any defeat. He was so wise and resourceful that he really lived up to his reputation. The fact that Lord Xiao came to our Chen State in person is a real sign of success.

This is a great blessing for the Chen State, and it is also a great misfortune for the Rong people."

Xiao Xun looked at the king of Chen who looked like a passerby in front of him kindly. Although he heard him praising himself, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "It turns out that you are an old friend of my sister's when she lived in the country of Chen. With just a few words, you praised her as 'Chen'."

The eldest son of the Prime Minister's Palace who is the number one dancer in the country. I don't know if you had selfish intentions during the Chen-Song war and wanted to snatch my sister back from the Jade Capital to Fanjing? However, after so many years, people's hearts have gradually changed.

.Your affection for my sister is really not even half as good as that of King Wei. Even if it is comparable, your appearance is really ordinary. My sister’s eyes are higher than her head, and she is as talented as King Wei.

If you don’t like men, how can you like you, Prince Chen, who is about to be completely defeated?”

Xiao Xun took a sip of tea and said politely: "Without His Highness's help, Qi Wei's restoration of the country is simply wishful thinking. Now that Chen Guo is in trouble, why can't I, Xiao, come? Originally, King Wei also wanted to come, but I told him that he was still an intermediary back then.

When I was a dandy in Chu State, I got to know His Highness very well. Even if he didn't come to say thank you, Your Highness would not blame him. And I, Xiao, have never met His Highness, so naturally I have to come to express my gratitude in person and offer my humble efforts.

, to share your worries for His Highness."

When King Chen and the leader of Qi were having a pleasant conversation, a palace man hurried up to the cloud platform and whispered in King Chen's ear: "Your Highness, Zhao Qi asks for an audience."

Chen Wangdao: "The boss of the richest man's family? What is he doing here?"

The palace man glanced at the leader of Qi State and lowered his voice even more: "Reporting to Your Highness, Zhao Qi knelt outside Jinyang Palace and shouted... Shouting that the leader of Qi State was not here to help our Chen State, but to destroy our Chen State.

He said that the matter was urgent and could not be delayed for a moment. He wanted to meet His Highness and report it face to face."

Li Chen saw that Xiao Xun's smile was not diminishing, and he didn't know if he heard the palace official's report, so he had to tell the palace official: "Go and invite Zhao Qi. People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets, he is just a merchant.

Are you bribed and instigated by others to sow discord? Why don't you make it clear in front of the leader of Qi State?"

The palace man followed the order and left. Xiao Xunxiao asked: "Why, Xiao has been in Fanjing for less than half a day. Has the Song Kingdom already sent someone to sow discord?"

Li Chen took advantage of the situation and said: "We can form an alliance to split the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will naturally want to split our alliance. When that person comes soon, Lord Xiao will just think it is a joke."

Zhao Qi took two steps at a time, hurried up to the high platform, panted and saluted Li Chen: "Your Highness, Zhao Qi, a common man, just learned..." Suddenly he saw another man wearing a jade hat, calm and calm.

Sitting in front of King Chen, he immediately pointed to Xiao Xun and said: "Qi and Wei have a conspiracy to destroy our Chen country. Your Highness cannot believe a word of the words of the leader of Qi!"

Xiao Xun smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Qi, you have indeed come to report the news to King Chen. In fact, it would be better if you didn’t come. But if you come, Chen Guo will really be hopeless. What do you think the conspiracy is? It can be revealed at will.

Is it still a conspiracy? A commoner has doubts about the leader of the Qi Kingdom. How could you, the suspicious King Chen, have no doubts about me? Since ancient times, the king has not seen the king, so I came to Jinyang Palace to see King Chen with great fanfare, and even robbed him of his court meeting

If he didn't have the slightest doubt about me, it really wouldn't be worth it for me to come and destroy Chen personally.

Li Chen said angrily: "Bold Zhao Qi! Don't be rude to the Lord Xiao of Qi State!"

Xiao Xun said kindly: "Your Highness, please calm down. Xiao would like to hear from Master Zhao Qi... the way to destroy Chen. Maybe Qi and Wei can really use it."

Zhao Qi immediately knelt down and told King Chen exactly what King Wei's crony Mo Wangtan had said to him.

King Chen pretended to be confused and reasoned his thoughts: "So, your boss Zhao Qi, the richest man in our Chen country, is the adopted daughter of Xiao Guoguo, the daughter-in-law of King Wei, and the biological daughter of the current King of Chu? You said, it is Wei

The king’s cronies asked you to shut down half of Chen’s business, take away our Chen’s gold and silver treasures, and go...to take refuge in Chu? This..." He turned to look at Xiao Xun again and said, "Master Xiao,

I don’t know if it’s because I can’t wrap my head around it, or... or it’s just a matter of emotion and reason, it doesn’t seem to make sense!”

Without waiting for Xiao Xun's answer, Zhao Qi said anxiously: "Your Highness, the soldiers have broken into Jinyang Pass and have destroyed our two cities! When Chen Guo is in need of money, Qi and Wei are doing it openly and secretly..."

King Chen interrupted: "Zhao Qi, not to mention that I had a close relationship with King Wei when he was still called 'Zhuge Dunji'. Let's just talk about this matter. If the boy named Mo who came to you is really

Confidants of King Wei, if King Wei can bypass your boss Yan and issue orders directly to you, then why does he want you to go all the way to Chu State? Instead of going to the newly restored Qi and Wei countries? The two countries of Qi and Wei,

But it needs money more than Chu State."

Xiao Xun swallowed a sip of tea and said calmly: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao Qi's employer, Boss Yan, did recognize Xiao as his adopted father in Zichuan Shu Palace, and he and King Wei's adopted son Zhuge Calmly arranged a marriage alliance between Qi and Wei

.But who knew that the good times would not last long, this marriage alliance had been ruined by the shameless King of Song Dynasty. Now that Boss Yan recognized King Chu as his new father, and had been divorced by King Wei's adopted son, naturally

That means she is not Xiao’s adopted daughter, nor is she the daughter-in-law of King Wei.”

Xiao Xun said to Zhao Qi again: "Master Zhao Qi, before you come here, have you ever found out whether the young gentleman named Mo is a confidant of King Wei or a confidant of the Princess of Chu? If he is a confidant of King Wei,

The Princess of Chu has nothing to do with King Wei, so why can King Wei dictate her business in Chen? And why does King Wei want you to go all the way to Chu to collect money? Moreover, King Wei has many capable people,

Why would you send a child to look for you? In my opinion, is that young gentleman named Mo a member of the Princess of Chu?"

Zhao Qi was so confused by the words of King Chen and Lord Xiao that he was speechless at this time.

Xiao Xun continued: "Master Zhao Qi, if you say that the young gentleman named Mo is the princess of Chu, it would be very reasonable." Then he shook his head and smiled, turned to Li Chen and said: "It's all my fault.

Xiao is so blind that he actually recognized such a girl as his adopted daughter. Xiao is really... smart for a lifetime, but confused for a moment!"

"How do you say this?"

Xiao Xun sighed with emotion: "That little girl is incredible, she has brought chaos to the world. Her ability to climb a dragon and a phoenix is ​​unmatched by anyone in Kyushu!"

When she was doing business, she clung to the young master of the Zhuge family. With the help of the Zhuge family, she overthrew the Qin family, the great merchant of the Chen state, and took over half of the private business of the Chen state. When the young master of the Zhuge family became the leader of the Restoration Alliance,

She recognized me as her adoptive father and became the daughter-in-law of the leader of the Wei Kingdom.

But after all, she still disliked the fact that Qi and Wei were small countries that had just recovered, so she took the opportunity to cling to King Song. King Xiao Song, the 'royal madman', had a reputation for diligence all his life, and was ruined by that little girl overnight.

, turned into a fatuous boy who "loves beauty but not country". For that little girl, he gave up the entire Jingan County of Song State to Wei State. Can the little girl not be moved?

So the little girl went to the Chu Kingdom for the sake of the little Song King, and she used some trick to trick the Chu Kingdom's number one counselor Dongfang Yudu into applause, and easily recognized the Chu King as her new father. The Chu King followed

The personal relationship between King Wei and the two of us is even worse than the personal relationship between the two of us. However, even though it was clearly agreed that the Five Kingdoms would split up the Song Dynasty, the State of Chu has been holding back for a long time. Your Highness, what is the relationship between the Princess of Chu State and the Little King of Song Dynasty?

, I’m afraid, that’s what the relationship between Chu and Song is today.

In this case, it should be the Princess of Chu's intention to take away Chen's money, and the person behind it should be her new best friend, King Xiao Song. Your Highness, such a clumsy plan to sow discord is indeed a joke."
