{I am really sorry to all book friends, I stopped up yesterday. I am really sick and can't get up. Please forgive me.}

Although he was a literati, in that special era, as a decoration, Chen Ping also had a sword. No one could see the noble princes with his sharp sword. Chen Ping untied his sword according to the rules and accompanied by Tian Heng to the hall. There was a row of windows in the north of the hall, and there was a bamboo forest with rain and snow. Two rows of more than twenty red sandalwood tables were placed beside the windows, and three or four solemn and luxurious copper tripods emitting seal smoke were separated by the middle table. Behind the table was a body.

The boy wearing snow-white casual clothes had white skin as white as snow, with a pretty face, and looked less than twenty years old. Chen Ping only took a brief look and confirmed that this person was the head of Qi State, Tian Heng's nephew, King Qi Tian Guang. Not only because of his seat and demeanor, but also because of his casual clothes. There should not be many people in this place who dared to wear casual clothes. In addition, Chen Ping had already seen Princess Tianzuo half-kneeling and half-sitting on the desk next to him, and was staring at him for a moment.

Tian Guang's expression was a little tired, and his eyes were a little dull and dull under his thick eyebrows. He seemed to be a slave who had just worked hard for a day, showing a lazy attitude that nothing had to do with him. It made people feel that after he had worn off his skin, he was worthy of begging on the street. Even though there were two or three palace maids behind him, he still couldn't do it straight and wanted to lie down softly. He was absolutely a typical ignorant playboy.

A slender and fair jade hand was holding a cup of tea and approaching Tian Guang's lips. The color on his hand was like soft moonlight, which was so beautiful. Tian Guang seemed nervous when he saw Tian Heng coming in, so he hurriedly pushed the hand aside and sat upright.

Chen Ping hurriedly walked forward, saluted and knelt down; "My minister Chen Ping met with King Qi." Before Tian Heng and Chen Ping came in, someone had already reported to Tian Guang, and he knew that Chen Ping was the envoy of Qin.

In addition to King Qi, Tian Zhuo and Tian Heng, there was also a general who had a sword. Chen Ping happened to recognize this man, Tian Ba, the general of Qi. Chen Ping had met Tian Ba ​​when he was under Xiang Yu's tent.

Tian Guang cleared his throat, and the moment he saw Tian Heng come in, he became 'behaved'. He also picked up the airs that the king of Qi should have. He shook his shoulders, cheered up his spirits, and said in a deep voice, "Get up, you all sit down, the Prime Minister, please sit down."

In order to show his sincerity in forming an alliance, Chen Ping did not sit down, but instead held his head and held his head with an expression of listening to the instructions. However, Tian Heng and Tian Ba ​​sat down opposite him without any politeness.

Tian Guang admired Chen Ping's attitude very much, which could be heard from his tone. At least this made Tian Guangjue's Qin people respect him very much.

Tian Heng didn't take Tian Guang seriously at all, and snatched the favor to Chen Ping before Tian Guang; "Mr. Chen is not an official of Qi State, don't have to be so polite. Please sit down quickly. If you have anything to say, just tell the king."

Tian Guang's face changed slightly, but he adjusted his mind just as no one noticed it, and said with a smile, "Yes, the Prime Minister asked you to sit down, just sit down, if you have anything to say, I will definitely listen carefully."

Chen Ping noticed Tian Guang's eyes just now, and immediately felt a sense in his heart. Tian Guang did not seem to be as useless as it seems on the surface. People who know how to endure are all talented in theory.

Chen Ping looked at Tianba and Tianzuo with his eyes slanted, and found that the two of them had a gloomy face and did not say a word, as if they were quite dissatisfied with Tian Heng. Chen Ping thought to himself, this is good, it's great, this is the case in Qi State, and the unification of the Qin Dynasty is about to be imminent.

Chen Ping couldn't be humble anymore, so he sat obediently beside Tian Rong on the left and bowed his hand and said, "King, I'm not here for anything else, but to form an alliance." He has been paying attention to Tian Ba's reaction. Tanuma and Tian Heng have been convinced by him, and the only one who is left to be restricted is Tian Ba.

Tian Guang was quite idiot and said in surprise, "Why do you need to form an alliance? Qi and Qin are so far away, so why do you want to form an alliance?"

Tian Heng sighed in his heart, "There is no need to make a plan for the past. He said coldly, "Now Qin and Chu are symbolizing that the world is in chaos. Qi is a powerful country in the east, with Yan and Zhao in the north and strong Chu in the south, and he may be attacked at any time. How can the king and general defend it?" Tian Guang rolled his eyes; "My Great Qi has millions of soldiers, and there is also General Tianba here. At worst, the soldiers come to control the enemy's water and earthen dams. What's there to be afraid of?"

Tian Hengdao; "But Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, was extremely powerful and looked down upon. No one in the world could compete with him." He paused and turned to Tianba; "General, is the true saying right?"

Tian Ba ​​had no expression on his face; "If Qin and Chu want to fight, they will naturally let them fight. Our Qi State is just taking advantage of the fisherman, so there is no need to form an alliance."

Chen Ping saw a strong murderous intent flashing in Tian Heng's eyes, and hurriedly said, "General Tianba's difference in words, Chen Ping has a few words to say, but I wonder if the general is willing to listen?"

Tian Ba ​​said coldly, "Mr. Chen, what should I do if I say it first?" Chen Ping thought to himself, I don't want to listen to you, and you will say it, what's better or worse.

"Please speak with General Tian."

Tian Ba ​​said, "During the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, the people of the world suffered from Qin's politics. As if they were in dire straits, everyone worked together to defeat the tyrannical Qin. Now the tyrannical Qin has been destroyed, and only one corner of the central area is still surviving. The princes divided the land according to their merits and called themselves kings. They could have lived a happy life, but they never thought that the tyrannical Qin would rekindle, leading troops to lead generals, leaving Wuguan, Hanguguan, annexed Hanoi, sweeping across the Three Jins, and occupying the entire lower reaches of the river. Then they led their troops out of the pass and fought with Western Chu in Chenggao and Xingyang. I think the intention of the Qin King was not only Western Chu, but wanted to annexed

The princes of the world restored the rule of the tyrannical Qin. The King of Qin was not only a greedy and lustful person, but also a rebellious and capricious person, and was very unreliable. His life fell into the hands of the King of Western Chu several times. The King of Western Chu felt pity for him and let him have a way out. Who knew that once he escaped, he would turn against others and continue to fight against Western Chu. Such people were absolutely not close to us. There is only one reason why our Qi State has not been threatened and attacked by the tyrannical Qin, that is, Xiang Yu is still alive. If Xiang Yu died, I dare to assert that the next target of the tyrannical Qin is Qi State.”

Chen Ping thought to himself that Tian Ba ​​is still a little skillful, but he still guessed wrongly, not the next one, but this one.

Chen Ping laughed, "General Tianba was not wrong at all, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, but these words did not necessarily mean all of them. They were the same with Xiang Yu."

Tian Guang kept listening and said movedly, "What does this mean?"

Chen Ping said; "After talking for a long time, General Tianba ignored the biggest problem - Chu is strong and Qin is weak." Chen Ping smiled; "Ambition is not only the King of Qin, but also the King of Chu. No one in the world does not want to expand his territory and possesses countless beauties and treasures. The first of your Qi State is not Xiang Yu's fiefdom {it is independent} Secondly, Tian Rong led his troops to capture Pengcheng and have deep hatred with the people of Chu. As General Tianba said just now, there is only one reason why Xiang Yu has never taken action against Qi State, that is, the King of Qin is still alive. King of Qi, you can think about it, with Qin State's current strength, even with Qi State, it can only protect itself and never destroy Chu. But if Qi State falls to Chu State, then with Chu State's strength, Qin State will inevitably lose its country. The lips are lost and the teeth are cold. The King of Qin is over, and the next one is really your turn."

Chen Ping's words not only shocked Tian Guang, but even Tian Ba ​​stopped talking.

Chen Ping took advantage of the hot railway; "The current situation in the world, Qi State must either return to Qin or Chu. It depends on what you mean by choosing a country. However, putting aside the identity of Chen Ping's envoy, I have a way to give it to the king with the best of both worlds. I don't know if you are willing to listen."

Tian Heng said brutally, "Tell me quickly."

Chen Ping smiled, "The King of Qi can agree to form an alliance with the King of Qin on the surface. In this way, Chen Ping can go back to Qin to make an appointment, and after the King of Western Chu learned about this, he did not dare to do anything to Qi. If Qin really faces destruction that day, the king will harass the rear of Chu. In this way, Qi can deal with Qin and Chu at the same time, and divide the world by three parts. Qin cannot destroy Chu, and Chu cannot destroy Qin, so Qi will naturally survive."

Tian Heng stood up and pondered, "King, Chen Ping's words are very clear, so I can trust them. I feel that we can form an alliance with the Qin people." Tian Batu said; "No, the Qin people have always bullied the weak and did not take our Qi seriously at all. The Qin envoy Li Shiqi was so bold that he wanted to tease the princess, which was unbearable."

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, threw a gaze into Tianmeng, and coughed gently.

"King, I think the Prime Minister said a lot. Everything should be put first and the overall situation first. Li Shiqi's affairs are just his personal behavior and have nothing to do with the entire Qin State. The King of Qin is so sincere, and Chen Ping's statement makes sense. You cannot ignore the safety of the people in the world just because Li Shiqi alone."

Tian Guang was puzzled, what was wrong with his sister today. When she mentioned Li Shiqi, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and was crazy. She didn't expect that she would speak for the Qin people today.

Tian Guang was originally an unintelligent person. Tian Ba ​​stopped saying a word after hearing the princess' words. So he nodded and said, "If Sister Wang doesn't object, then I agree to form an alliance with Qin. However, what should Li Shiqi do with him? What does the King of Qin mean?"

Chen Ping thought to himself that the first thing was done.

"The king, the king of Qin means that Li Shiqi must be killed, but the people of Qi cannot take action. Our own envoys will deal with it ourselves. This is related to the state system of Qin, and I hope the king can understand it."

Tanuma sneered, "It's not the time yet, so let's wait until the agreement is signed." She was afraid that Chen Ping would not let Zhang Er come back.

Chen Ping said, "Since the matter has been agreed upon, I hope the king will arrange another envoy to go to Qin State and bring a letter back. I believe that after the envoy comes back, the alliance can be signed." Chen Ping said this to Tian Zhuo. It means that the King of Qin will bring Zhang Er to Qi State's envoy back.

Tian Heng smiled and said, "This is what it should be, it is impolite to have come and go. The king will send someone to Qin State for envoys." Tian Guang looked at Tianba and Tian Heng; "Who will send?"

Tian Hengdao; "Just send Tian Yezi."

Tian Yezi walked alone from Zhao State to Qin State. He traveled 600 miles a day and traveled day and night. After three days, he dragged his tired body to Xianyang.

After listening to Tian Yezi's narration, Wang Zhu read Chen Ping's letter and immediately knew it. The letter was written very simply, which was to let him release Zhang Ao. Wang Zhu was unwilling to release Zhang Ao because Zhang Er was already up, and Zhang Ao had a grudge against him to kill his father, but for the sake of Qi's land, he had to do so. Things must be fast, and he must be ahead of Han Xin and Xiang Yu.

Wang Zhu stayed with Tian Yezi for one night, arranged for more than a dozen palace maids to serve him, and then sent him back to Qi on the grounds of urgent military situation. Of course, Tian Yezi took away Zhang Er, who was scarred and embarrassed and tortured in prison.

Tian Yezi spent eight days on his way back and forth. During the eight days, Chen Ping was looking through all day long, leaning against the door to look forward to it.

The good news brought back by Tian Yezi almost made him scream, and he immediately went into the palace to meet Princess Tianzuo. Tianzuo knew that Zhang Ao was back, and was happy, so he went into the palace to meet Tian Guang, saying that for the sake of the harmony between Qin and Qi, she did not intend to pursue Li Shiqi's rudeness. As for whether the Qin King wanted to kill her after Li Shiqi returned to the country, it had nothing to do with her.

Tian Guang was very happy to hear his sister say this, so he immediately ordered the release of Li Shiqi, and signed his name on the contract written by the Qin King of Qin and asked Chen Ping to take it back.

Chen Ping stayed in Qi for another two days, and Tian Guang and Tian Rong took turns to treat each other, and the two sides got along very well. He was chatting and laughing on the surface, but he was extremely anxious. At this time, it was just the time to race against time.

You must be ahead of Xiang Yu and Han Xin.

On the third day, Chen Ping said that he would not accept the banquet, and he would return to Qin to report to the King of Qin no matter what. Tian Heng and King of Qi both thought he was a talented person, and had made great contributions to Qi. He could not repay him, so he rewarded five beauties and platinum gold.

Chen Ping is not the kind of person who deserves it. His biggest advantage is that he will not think that anyone who gives him money will be too much. Of course, he accepted it with a happy smile.

On the way back, Li Shiqi kept humming and crying, crying for his parents. When Chen Ping saw that Mr. Li was indeed very miserable. In the past few months of prison life, he had basically lost his face. The ribs on his chest were all highlighted due to hunger, and the new and old whip marks on his face, one after another, some black and some red. When he first saw him, the luxurious clothes he was wearing had turned into strips of cloth, and the face, legs, and arms were full of fresh and dry plasma. The whole person was full of fishy smell. In addition, two of the front teeth fell off.

Gao Yang's drunkard is indeed different from mortals. With this kind of virtue, he can drink, sing loudly, sit in the car, and laugh with his back and forth. It seems that he was not beaten up, but just picked up a thousand gold gold. However, Chen Ping saw that his eyes were full of sword light, and the situation seemed to be patrolling the square formation holding a knife on the battlefield, and the stern and sharp light made people stand up.

Chen Ping smacked his lips and asked with a smile, "Have you touched it? Where did you touch it? How elastic is it? Is it soft? Have you reacted to the next three ways? Have you dreamed of her these days? Has she ever sent you a secret message? Otherwise, how could your brother be so ignorant of life or death?"
