The cold wind is like a knife on the cold night, but the house is as warm as spring.

Mei Long shook the teacup in his hand and heard footsteps coming from behind the screen. Then he put down the teacup, looked up and saw Wei Fan walking out from behind the screen. Behind Wei Fan, a burly sweating figure was followed.

"Mr. Mei!" Wei Fan accelerated his feet, stepped forward lightly, and approached Meilong's ear, "This is the envoy sent by Chu Huan."

Mei Long was looking at the big man. Seeing one of the big man's sleeves empty, she frowned. The big man had already come forward and looked at Mei Long up and down, and smiled and said, "I guess this is the Duke of Mei. I am so angry that I am like blood. Where did I come from? Duke Mei must have already understood."

Mei Long suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "Qiu Ruxue, you are so brave. Do you know that with the order of this governor, you will have your head fall to the ground."

"If Qiu was afraid, he would not come to see Governor Mei." Qiu Ruxue was not afraid at all. Yun Danfeng said lightly: "It's Governor Mei who wants to see Governor, but he dare not meet in the Governor's Mansion. Instead, he wanted to hide and evade to Lord Wei's mansion. From this, it can be seen that Governor Mei's current situation is really not very good, at least he is not at ease in his own territory."

Wei Fan said anxiously: "Grievance is like blood, don't talk nonsense, Master Mei!"

Meilong had already raised his hand to stop him and stared at Qiu Ruxue's eyes, but Qiu Ruxue also stared at Meilong's eyes without any fear.

"Okay, I'm really brave!" Mei Long suddenly laughed and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Qiu Ruxue then stepped forward, sat down opposite Meilong, and said straight to the point: "Since the Duke Mei sees me, I must know that your current situation is already very dangerous."

"I asked you, the emperor has really died?" Mei Long didn't beat around the bush.

Qiu Ruxue said: "This is true and there will never be any falsehood. In fact, with the wisdom of Mei, you should have guessed that Hujin is the last piece of territory of Qin. If Dingwu wants to make a comeback, he will only have this last place to use, so naturally he will not give up easily. But now, Dingwu still has not arrived, and of course he will never come."

Mei Long sneered: "Why should I believe your words?"

Qiu Ruxue did not hesitate, stuffed his one arm into his arms, took out something, threw it over, Mei Long reached out to take it, looked carefully, and his face changed slightly.

"Mr. Mei should know this thing. It is a royal token. Only the prince can possess such a jade pendant." Qiu Ruxue said: "The word "East Palace" is engraved on it. It is a token that Dingwu had when he was the prince. However, he has always carried it with him. Although he calls himself emperor, he has not abandoned it."

Meilong frowned and said, "Is this obtained from the Lord?"

"If he is not dead, how can this jade pendant fall into our hands?" Qiu Ruxue said: "With this thing, I wonder if Mei Du believes that Dingwu is dead?"

Mei Long held the jade pendant of the East Palace in his hand, pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What is Chu Huan sending you here for?"

"The purpose of the King of Chu is very simple. Let the soldiers on both sides shed less blood and the people suffer less." Qiu Ruxue said: "The King of Chu holds 100,000 powerful soldiers in his hand, and is invincible. The world is turbulent. Anyone with ambition will naturally not be able to see the world continue to be turbulent, unifying the world and making peace in the world. This is naturally the purpose of the King of Chu."

"I'm very ambitious." Mei Long smiled faintly and said, "Does Chu Huan have this ability?"

"The Northwest Army has this heart since the King of Chu." Qiu Ruxue said seriously: "Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of him, the King of Chu will bring 100,000 soldiers in the northwest. Mei Du, I am bluntly saying that once the north is settled, the Northwest Army will naturally go south. The first thing that is to bear is Hujin Road. Whether it is to flow into a river or to promote great justice together is the thought of Mei Du."

Mei Long said coldly: "From what you mean, it seems that he is threatening this governor!"

"Qiu is a rough man, he says something straight, he speaks quickly, and he will not beat around the bush, but because of this, what he says is the truth." Qiu Ruxue said: "The King of Chu will not threaten the governor Mei. In fact, in my opinion, the one who really threatens the governor Mei is definitely not the King of Chu, but Xuanyuan Shao!"

"oh?"

"I happened to see Wenpu's garrison on the way." Qiu Ruxue said: "Although it was a defeated soldier who retreated from Yanshan, by the heart, the soldiers and horses under Wenpu were well-equipped, strong and well-trained, and they were real elite soldiers. Dingwu is dead, and Wenpu's army is under the command of Yuan Shao. I wonder if the army and horses in Xuanyuan Shao's hands are stronger or weaker than the strength in Mei Du?"

Wei Fan coughed twice and said, "Grievance is like blood. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Hujin. How can those thousands of Xuanyuan Shao compare to?"

"In this way, you have indeed been more in your heart." Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "Since Lord Wei said this, I don't argue. Whoever is stronger and who is weak will naturally know clearly in your heart."

Mei Long said calmly: "What do you mean?"

"Does Mei Duke not understand? Qiu means that Xuanyuan Shao will turn against the enemy sooner or later." Qiu Ruxue said: "Xuanyuan Shao believes that he was born in the Qin Dynasty's first martial arts family and has always held the most elite guards of Qin. It is difficult for Qiu to believe that if he stayed in Hujin, he would follow the withering of Mei Duke and obey Mei Duke's instructions. As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers. If Mei Duke can compromise and obey Xuanyuan Shao's instructions in everything, he may still be able to survive, otherwise!"

Mei Long's eyes were cold and fierce, but Qiu Ruxue had already continued: "Dingwu is dead, Qin has been destroyed, Governor Mei will not have to guard the destruction of Qin's loyalty. If you take it seriously, you may be able to be buried with Qin in the end!"

Mei Long suddenly stood up, pulled out the knife, and sneered: "If you really want to be buried with Qin, I will kill you first and bury you together!"

"Why is Mei Duke a rude man who can have his current status?" Qiu Ruxue was not afraid and smiled and said, "Qiu is here to be the order of the King of Chu and speak with Mei Duke. In fact, at this time, there is no need to use conspiracies and tricks. The King of Chu said that if the facts are presented, there is no need to make sense. Mei Duke can distinguish right from wrong." He glanced at Mei Long's knife, "My Duke wants to kill me, Qiu naturally won't resist, and resistance is in vain, but even if he kills me, it will not change the current situation of Mei Duke."

Mei Long stared at Qiu Ruxue's eyes, and soon threw down the knife in his hand and smiled, "Qiu Ruxue, you are indeed a happy person. I like your temper. Okay, tell me, what should I do? You said right, Wenpu's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers in my hands are mainly deployed on the southern line to block the Qingtian King and Zhengcheng's soldiers and horses, less than 3,000 soldiers. Xuanyuan Shao has sent people to mobilize Wenpu. The slowest time is less than six or seven days, Wenpu's soldiers will arrive at Zhengcheng. I will tell you the truth. Once Wenpu's soldiers arrive, the strength in my hands will indeed not be as good as Xuanyuan Shao. With Xuanyuan Shao's temperament, he will definitely step on my head."

Qiu Ruxue looked around and Wei Fan said, "You don't have to worry. You have anything to say, but it doesn't matter. Except for the three of us, there will never be a fourth ear to hear it."

"Okay!" Qiu Ruxue said: "Since the Mei Duke is heartbroken, Qiu will no longer hide it. The King of Chu's intention is that if Mei Duke can make a common righteousness together, once the matter is completed, he will be granted the Mei Duke as a duke, and at least 10,000 households to be given food and shade." He took out a letter again, but did not throw it over this time, but stood up and sent it over. "This is the letter written by the King of Chu, and it has a hand seal, which is also the guarantee of the King of Chu to Mei Duke."

After Mei Long took it, he quickly opened it, glanced at Wei Fan, who had already whispered: "Governor Mei, it seems that King Chu Chu treats each other honestly. Qin State is out of the way, Xuanyuan Shao has ulterior motives, Mei Governor Mei Governor Mei Governor thought twice!"

Mei Long hesitated for a moment, carefully put the letter back into the envelope, stuffed it into his arms, signaled Qiu Ruxue to sit down, and lowered his voice: "Xuanyuan Shao was eyeing Hujin and mobilizing Wenpu to take over it. What do you think this governor should do next? If Xuanyuan Shao succeeds his plot, the King of Chu will still be unable to avoid war."

"Duke Mei, there is a saying that no one hurts the tiger, and a tiger is harmful to the hearts of the people." Qiu Ruxue said: "We already know Xuanyuan Shao's thoughts. He is a tiger staring at him. If this tiger is not removed, Duke Mei will be unable to sleep or eat."

"Removing the tiger?" Mei Long frowned and said, "This tiger is not simple. If you are not careful, you can't get rid of the tiger. Instead, you will be eaten by the tiger. But don't forget that Wenpu's thousands of soldiers and horses will also come to Zhengcheng. If you just get rid of the tiger here, we will still be in trouble when Wenpu's wolf comes."

"Every wolf and one tiger must be removed." Qiu Ruxue said: "In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of this tiger, but just in case, this wolf and one tiger must take action at the same time."

Wei Fan immediately shook his head and said, "Duke Mei, this is probably not possible. Xuanyuan Shao is okay. Even if he is powerful, he has only a hundred people in his hands. However, Wenpu has thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are all brave and good at fighting. The troops of our Zhengcheng are not Wenpu's opponents at all. If we are transferred from the southern line and weakened the defense line in the south, once Xuanyuan Shao noticed that we are transferred in private, they will be on guard!"

"It is naturally difficult to confront Wenpu," Qiu Ruxu said softly: "Mr. Wei is right. Wenpu's men are brave and good at fighting, and are difficult to deal with." He lowered his voice and said: "But Mr. Wei, don't forget that Hujin is still the governor of Mei. Before Wenpu and Xuanyuan Shao met, Xuanyuan Shao did not dare to act recklessly, so in the middle, we should have a lot of tricks to do."
