Chapter 300: Dust Cleansing Banquet
Zhou Guo's deputy envoy stood up staggeringly from the ground, looked at the horses that had already fallen aside, and shouted: "Bold! I am the envoy of Da Zhou! How dare you do this?! Don't be afraid that I, Da Zhou, will send troops to trample on you!" Ping your Chu country?!"
The general of the shadow guard turned his head to look at the deputy commander behind him: "Where do they say they are envoys?"
The deputy team said: "Go back to the team, Zhou Guo."
"Zhou Guo?" The commander of the shadow guard seemed to have remembered something, and said without restraint: "It is the one who invaded my Great Chu more than ten years ago and was taken down by my Great Chu for two cities, and finally kissed two princesses." Only to quell the warring state of Zhou?"
The surrounding soldiers, who had already watched the people, suddenly burst into laughter. In the war of aggression, they lost two cities and paid compensation to their own relatives. Among the three kingdoms in the Central Plains, only Zhou Guo could do it.
This is the eternal pain in the hearts of all Zhou people, and Zhou Guo's deputy envoy suddenly became angry: "You! How dare you insult me, Da Zhou?!"
The shadow guard general was very curious: "Ah? Isn't this general telling the truth? Is telling the truth an insult now?"
"You!" The envoy of Zhou State became furious, but the words stuck in his throat abruptly, unable to utter a word.
Because, what this general said is really true! There is no way to refute!
At this moment, Li Xun came up and said: "Commander, I am the envoy of Zhou Guozheng. We made mistakes before. I, Da Zhou, apologize to your country. We have come from a long way. Please guide us to the place where we are staying." land."
The general of the shadow guard glanced at Li Xun, nodded and said: "You are worthy of being an envoy, your speech and conversation are really beyond the reach of ordinary people, please follow me."
Vice-envoy Zhou Guo looked at Li Xun and said, "Bold! Sixth Prince! You must know that your trip represents Da Zhou, how can you easily make amends?! This will damage my Da Zhou's face!"
Li Xun glanced at Zhou Guo's deputy envoy: "Face is created on the battlefield, not by lip service. The deputy envoy was left speechless by the general's few words. If you really want to talk about it, it's the deputy envoy." My lord's repeated gaffes have damaged my face."
Deputy envoy Zhou looked at Li Xun's appearance and couldn't help clenching his fists. He is the Little Brother of Empress Da Zhou and a relative of the emperor. How can this unfavored bastard have the right to reprimand him? !
an hour later
In the royal study
The Emperor of Chu looked at it and said, "It seems that the deputy envoy of the State of Zhou planned to give Da Chu a blow."
The Xian King said disdainfully: "It's a pity that stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. Zhou Guo hasn't made any progress over the years."
Chu Huang said: "On the contrary, this sixth prince seems to be very knowledgeable and quite tolerant."
The Xian King nodded and said: "It's a pity that he is an unfavored concubine, the heir born of a palace maid, who has no power or power."
The Emperor of Chu said: "Let a bastard be the official envoy. Could it be that Zhou Guo wants to..."
The virtuous king said: "If he is dead, the state of Zhou will have an excuse. This king has already said that what should come can't be stopped. It's a pity that such a child will become a victim of politics at such a young age."
Chu Huang asked: "Should we send someone to protect it secretly? Let go of their excuses?"
The Xian King shook his head and said: "Without this sixth prince, there is still Princess Mingyue, without Princess Mingyue, without Princess Mingyue, and Zhou Guo's deputy envoy, Zhou Guo really wants to use troops, there are so many excuses that can be found, even There will be other excuses if the ministers go back intact, we can prevent this but not the other, just let nature take its course."
Emperor Chu sighed and said, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid the sky will really change this time."
The Xian King suddenly smiled and said: "Just fight, the old rules: how to fight the war, I have the final say, how to deal with politics, you have the final say."
Emperor Chu also smiled: "Okay, our brothers are united, and our strength can break gold!"
However, even if both of them can guess the result, how to receive the mission should still be carried out according to the original etiquette, otherwise Da Chu will lose his courtesy in front of the countries in advance, which will damage Da Chu's face.
The envoy of Zhou State stayed at Honglu Temple today. According to the previous practice, a dust-cleaning banquet will be held for the envoy of Zhou State in the evening.
In other words, even if they let their own country’s army fight you when they go back tomorrow, you know the result, but as long as there is no war today, no, even if the war has already started, you have to be polite and extremely polite treat them.
According to the official statements of the past dynasties, this is the bearing and capacity of a big country.

Andingbo Mansion
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye doubtfully and said, "The dust-cleaning banquet of the envoys of Zhou State? What does it have to do with me? I don't know the envoys."
Xiao Ye shook his head: "I don't know, my father also asked me to go, maybe it's to make up the numbers."
Xiao Ruxue came out from the side, stood behind Xu Qing, supported the back of Xu Qing's chair and said, "What kind of banquet were you talking about just now?"
Xiao Ye said: "How about the dust-cleaning banquet of the envoys of the Zhou Kingdom? Are you going? Just make up the number."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head quickly: "I'm not going, the banquet is the most boring thing! I'm going to Dongshi to watch lanterns with Sister Su at night! I won't play with you guys anymore."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxue went to the martial arts field alone to find Su Qian.
Xu Qing slapped a mosquito that had just been sitting on the back of her hand with a "slap", looked at Xiao Ye and sighed, "Brother Xiao, it would be great if you were more powerful."
Xiao Ye asked suspiciously: "Why did Brother Xu say that? Is there anyone in Beijing who offends Brother Xu more severely than me? How is this possible?"
Obviously, Xiao Ye is confident that no one in the capital will be stronger than him.
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "If Brother Xiao were more powerful, the mosquitoes would not come to bite us."
Xiao Ye: "..."
cleaning banquet
Deputy envoy Zhou Guo looked at the Emperor Chu who was sitting on the high seat and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are many capable people and strange people in your country. I have to do some calculations, but I can't figure it out. I wanted to ask Dr. Guozijian, but I didn't want to I was sent as an envoy to your country, I wonder if your country can solve this problem for you.”
The Emperor of Chu knew that it was making things difficult, but he had to agree, otherwise, wouldn't it be impossible to solve even one problem with so many talents?
So the Emperor Chu had no choice but to ask, "What questions do you have for the envoy?"
Vice-envoy Zhou Guo said: "The general starts his journey from the camp. He needs to go to the river bank to drink horses first, and then go to the patrolling barracks on the same side of the river bank. How can we make the distance the shortest?"
Xu Qing, who was sitting beside him eating vegetables, almost spit out the food in his mouth when he heard this question, do he still have to follow him even after going through this nightmare?
The problem of the general drinking the horse is really haunting!
Damn it!
...
The farming and weaving army of Chu State is unmatched among the three countries, but the mathematics and poetry are lagging behind the two countries. This question is a question that gathered all the doctors of mathematics from the Great Zhou Guozijian and it took two months to draw up the question. , It seems simple, but it is not, and Chu State will definitely not be able to do it.
Today, the country of Chu, which is not doing well, will lose all face before the two countries of Zhou and Zhao!
If it was in the past, he would not dare to play like this, dare to trip me up, beat you Zhou Guo called grandpa every minute, believe it or not?
You said that I, Da Chu, ambushes? Daddy is just being aggressive, what can you do? !
But today is different from the past, the state of Chu has become so powerful that the heavens are jealous, and the successive natural disasters and man-made disasters have made the state of Chu strong at the outside, and now it is my turn to vent my anger!
