Sitting behind the court case, Emperor Chu looked at Xu Qing in front of him with a ghostly expression on his face: "I really didn't expect you to be the leader of the Martial Forest."
Xu Qing's eyes widened: "You don't believe that I can be the leader of the Martial Forest. Why did you let me go? Why don't you just send General Liu there?"
The Emperor of Chu coughed, and now he made an excuse and said, "This... this... isn't this for the sake of training your ability, don't you see that you will become the leader of the Martial Forest? Sure enough, you have not let me down. your expectations."
Xu Qing obviously didn't believe Emperor Chu's nonsense: "Your Majesty, is that what you mean?"
"Of course... Otherwise, what else could be the reason?" Seemingly a little guilty, Emperor Chu immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, I heard that you met that King Zhao Guoming in Liuzhou?"
Xu Qing cupped hands said: "Yes, I did not expect that King Ming, who has long been missing in Zhao State, would appear in the territory of Chu State, and his ambition is not dead, in order to seek great things."
The Emperor of Chu pondered and said: "King Ming can be considered a talent, but it's a pity that the Emperor Zhao has concentrated military power in his own hands, and he is wary of the generals around him. Even if King Ming can win some generals, it is impossible to instigate many Zhao's troops. , he shouldn’t be ignorant, 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."
The Emperor Chu sighed and said, "I am not very interested in King Ming's ambitions, but at the beginning, the emperor signed a contract with Zhao State in order to concentrate on attacking Zhou State. When Zhao State was invaded, our Chu State Military assistance must be provided free of charge, and now the Zhou State has not paid the money, in case Zhao State asks Chu State for help..."
"Hey, if I knew that Zhao Guo himself was a piece of shit, I shouldn't have used this condition as a bargaining chip and let them mess around on their own. How could it be such a headache."
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Zhao Guo asks us for help, we can ignore it."
Chu Huang asked curiously: "Oh? Why?"
Xu Qing replied: "Because the contract signed between Chu State and Zhao State was: within ten years, if Zhao State is invaded by an enemy or foreign race, we will provide military assistance to Zhao State free of charge. Ming Wang's rebellion is Zhao State's own internal affairs. It does not belong to an enemy country or a foreign race, but to the imperial power struggle of Zhao State itself, and we, Chu State, have no obligation or right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, whether it is rational or legal."
The Emperor Chu couldn't help being startled when he heard Xu Qing's words, and then he said in surprise: "It turns out that you and the emperor made a contract with Zhao Guo in this way. It's true, you have thoughtful thoughts and thoughtful considerations."
Xu Qing continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, even if Zhao Kingdom is really invaded by enemy countries and alien races, our Chu Kingdom actually has many excuses. After all, we were the ones who made the original contract, and we can still find loopholes if we want to."
Speaking of this, Xu Qing couldn't help feeling like an insurance company.
When I signed the contract, I said it better than I sang.
But if something goes wrong, there are only two items that will not be compensated immediately.
It's not worth it...
That's not worth it...
In an instant, Xu Qing felt strong moral condemnation in his heart.
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Emperor Chu thought for a while and said, "Zhao country has been invaded by foreign races, we still have to save it."
Xu Qing admired cupped hands and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent."
The Emperor of Chu shook his head and said, "No, it is also my Chu country after all, how could it easily fall into the hands of a foreign race?"
"Huh?!" Xu Qing didn't let go of his arched hand, but stood there in a daze: "Zhao State is our Chu State's territory? This... When did this happen? Where do we talk about it?"
The Emperor of Chu waved his hand and said, "Since ancient times, the land of the Central Plains has been an inseparable part of our Chu State. Our Chu State is the orthodox Central Plains. Do you understand since ancient times?"
Xu Qing came back to his senses, coughed and said, "I...understood."
No matter how severe the division of the country is, even if it is divided into three parts, no one can stand on their own as a clan.
Chu State thinks that he is the orthodox in the Central Plains, and Zhao State and Zhou State also think so, although Zhao State is a bit aggrieved now.
Everyone is from the Central Plains and always abides by the principle of one Central Plains.
Zhao Guo and Zhou Guo?
Can that be considered an enemy country?
It has been an inseparable part of our Chu country since ancient times!
Now it can be regarded as brotherly discord and civil strife at best.
Foreign races want to grab the inalienable territory of our country?
There are no doors!
I will give you all the ashes!
Zhao Guo is easy to bully, and the royal family is currently weak and confused to compromise with other races, but my country of Chu is not a vegetarian!
After the Emperor of Chu clarified Chu's position to Xu Qing, he began to look at Xu Qing suspiciously: "By the way, after General Liu came back, he said that his skills were inferior to others and he missed the position of leader. You became the leader of the Martial Forest." , is it true?"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said: "General Liu naturally did not dare to bully the emperor. I have indeed become the leader of the Martial Forest."
The Emperor Chu questioned, "It's up to you?"
Through the questioning expression of Emperor Chu, Xu Qing felt a kind of insult: "Your Majesty is looking down on this minister?"
The Emperor of Chu said very heartbroken: "I still know how much you weigh and how much you have. I guess you may not be able to beat me even if I let you with one hand, let alone General Liu, a famous general. If you talk about seniority , His relationship with the imperial brother or the senior brother, what do you use to fight?"
Xu Qing coughed and said, "Actually... actually the victory over General Liu is the credit of the deputy leader, and I just defeated the deputy leader."
Hearing Xu Qing's words, the Emperor Chu asked curiously: "Deputy leader? Who is this deputy leader? He can beat General Liu but can't beat you. Don't tell me it's your wife. Just rely on your wife's current status." The body is probably no match for General Liu...and she didn't go with you."
"Besides, General Liu is the number one brave general in our country of Chu. How did the deputy leader defeat General Liu?"
Xu Qing said honestly: "General Liu was injured by the Sword Qi of the deputy leader, so he lost the competition."
The Emperor Chu said with a black face: "Wounded by Sword Qi? Can you show Sword Qi? Absurd!"
Until now, the Emperor of Chu has never heard of anyone who can condense internal energy on a sword and cut out a Sword Qi that can hurt people. This kid said that General Liu was injured by Sword Qi, is he just kidding?
Xu Qing pursed his lips and said: "The deputy leader is Princess Yongle, Sword Qi was also released, and General Liu lost in the same way, why don't you send Princess Yongle to ask?"
"Xue'er? That's all right..." Chu Huang immediately felt relieved.
Suddenly, Emperor Chu realized that something was wrong, and he stood up immediately: "Xue'er went to Liuzhou with you?!"
Xu Qing looked at Emperor Chu and said, "He's back..."
Hearing this, Emperor Chu sat back again, sighed and said: "Forget it, I know that girl Xue'er can play with you, don't let Brother Huang know about this, or you won't be able to eat and walk around, go down go down."
Xu Qing cupped hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Chu Huang asked: "Is there anything else? What's the matter?"
Xu Qing pondered for a while and said: "It's like this. Has Your Majesty ever thought about adding a military exercise to the imperial court?"
