After several months of arduous trekking, Xu Yan, the senior official of Wei State, finally arrived at Yongcheng, which now belongs to Wei State.

In the palace hall of Yongcheng, staring intently at the minister who had returned from Bashu, Wei Hou Wei Feng's heart was filled with excitement.

"If there were no middle-level officials who were not afraid of dangers and sent envoys to Ba for Wei, how could Wei be able to conquer Qin wholeheartedly?"

"Master Zhong, please bow to me."

When Xu Yan saw Wei Feng about to bow down, he was shocked and quickly took a step forward, stretching out his hands to stop the other person's next move.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this."

"If the emperor had not recruited talents, I would have been an unknown person in Linzi City."

"Traveling thousands of miles with the talisman in hand, repaying the kindness of the emperor with the power of words and words, I only feel that everything I have done is worthwhile."

After speaking out his heartfelt words and looking at Wei Feng in front of him, Xu Yan immediately bowed as well.

"I, Xu Yan, would never dare to accept such a great gift from your Majesty."

How could others not be moved when they saw this scene? As witnesses of this scene, Situ Gongsun Yang and Sima Sun Boling subconsciously looked at each other.

When the two people's eyes met, they noticed the sparkling lights in each other's eyes, and an emotion that could not be described in words surged in their hearts.

After a while, when the atmosphere in the hall gradually returned to peace, Wei Feng turned his eyes to his other two important ministers.

At this time, Sima Sun Boling immediately stepped forward, with a bit of joy in his tone, "I have some good news to report to you."

"According to reports from the Chu State, Ba's 20,000-strong army took advantage of the Chu State's unpreparedness to launch an offensive."

"The Ba army not only recaptured a large area of ​​lost territory that had previously fallen into the hands of Chu, but also captured Xiling, an important town on the road from Bashu to Yingdu, the capital of Chu."

After Wei Feng heard Sun Boling's report, he thought for a moment, and then a gleam of joy appeared on his face.

Although Xiling is still more than two hundred miles away from Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, and perhaps this is the limit that Ba State can reach, it is undoubtedly a major threat to Chu State.

Even if the war ends in the future, as long as the Wei State plans properly, the Ba State will be a dagger that can pierce the vital points of the Chu State at any time.

Thinking of this, Wei Feng's eyes once again fell on Xu Yan, who made all this come true.

"Such a great situation is all thanks to the efforts of Dr. Zhong."

"The Zhongdafu's mission to Ba has really made great contributions to our country, Wei. I have decided to promote the Zhongdafu to the rank of senior doctor."

"Your Majesty, my Lord..."

Just as Xu Yan was about to say his words of refusal, Wei Feng immediately stopped him, "Master, please don't refuse."

"In addition to rewarding the envoy Ba Guo for his merits, my decision is also due to the next matter that I have to hand over to the doctor."

When he heard that Wei Feng had another task for him, Xu Yan no longer struggled with the reward, but bowed and waited with a serious face.

"I speak slowly, but you must obey your Majesty's orders."

Looking at Xu Yan in front of him who nodded slightly, Wei Feng slowly walked towards the outside of the hall.

Looking at the darkening west, Wei Feng said lightly.

"I would also like to invite the senior official to go on an envoy to the State of Qin for me and meet the current Duke of Qin, Ying Quliang!"

After finishing his words, Wei Feng quickly turned around and looked at Xu Yan with a majestic look in his eyes.

…

Qin State, Longxi, Didao.

After experiencing a disastrous defeat on the banks of the Jing River and encountering an ambush by Sun Boling on the way back, Duke Ying Quliang of Qin had no choice but to lead his army to retreat to Longxi, the homeland of Qin.

Nearly a hundred thousand soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield, and hundreds of years of efforts of the ancestors were ruined. In addition, his brother Ying Qian was killed at the hands of the Wei army.

These blows come one after another, even for those who are as determined as Qin Gong Ying Quliang, it will be difficult for him to let go for a while.

After leading Qin's remaining soldiers to Didao, the depressed Duke of Qin Ying Quliang ignored his courtiers all day until a man appeared outside Didao City.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the envoy from Wei wants to see you."

"not see."

At this time, Ying Quliang, who was holding the bamboo slip in his hand but clearly not thinking about it, subconsciously replied before he could hear the report of the chamberlain clearly.

When the chamberlain accepted the order from Duke Qin and was about to turn around and return, Ying Quliang reacted and immediately slapped the bamboo slips in his hand on the table in front of him.

"what did you just say?"

Facing Ying Quliang's inquiry, the chamberlain immediately turned around and replied: "To report to your Majesty, the Wei envoy is already outside the mansion and requests to see you in person."

"Wei envoy? What is your intention in coming to Qin at this time?"

After muttering to himself for a while, Ying Quliang regained some of the majesty of a monarch, and then ordered to the chamberlain: "Go and bring the Wei envoy in."

"Here."

Not long after, as the chamberlain left and returned, Xu Yan, the senior official of Wei State, appeared in Ying Quliang's sight.

While Ying Quliang was sizing up the Wei envoy with unknown intentions in front of him, Xu Yan's eyes swept across his surroundings.

I saw a Qin soldier standing on both sides of the aisle in front of Xu Yan, especially the cold light shining on the halberd blades in their hands.

Looking at Xu Yan and noticing the momentary pause when he saw these sharp halberds, a smile appeared on Ying Quliang's face.

"How is it? Wei Envoy, how can our Qin army be elite?"

"The Qin army is indeed the elite of the world, but foreign ministers have heard that the Qin army has been repeatedly defeated by our Wei army. I wonder if Duke Qin thinks that our Wei army is the elite?"

Qin Gong Ying Quliang wanted to use him to vent his anger towards Wei, but Xu Yan was not prepared to comply with his wishes, even if it was a fierce counterattack.

After hearing Xu Yan's words, Ying Quliang's heart froze, and his eyes once again glanced at the Qin soldiers around him.

"Go down."

"Follow orders."

"Xu Yan, the senior official of Wei State, has met Duke Qin."

After letting the Qin soldiers retreat with some helplessness, Ying Quliang looked at Xu Yan and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder why the doctor came to my country of Qin?"

"I came here for my country Wei, I came here for my country Qin, and I came even more for Duke Qin."

Halfway through his words, Xu Yan's eyes were quietly staring at Ying Quliang in front of him, "I wonder if Mr. Qin would like to see the eldest son again?"

Hearing the mention of Ying Qian in Xu Yan's words, a surge of anger immediately rushed into Ying Quliang's mind.

If it weren't for the Wei State, how could his brother Ying Qian have died in the battle? Now the chief culprit came to ask him if he wanted to see his brother again.

After the killing sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed, Ying Quliang pointed the long sword in his hand at Xu Yan in front of him.

"Envoy Wei, do you think that a long sword in the hands of a few people is disadvantageous?"

Such an angry Duke of Qin did not make Xu Yan lose his composure. He only heard him utter a sentence calmly: "If a foreign minister tells Duke Qin that not only is the eldest son not dead, but he is now in Yongcheng, what will Duke Qin think?"
