"Your Majesty, Sima has arrived."

"Please."

"Here."

In the Wei palace in Anyi, the servants accepted the order from Wei Marquis Wei Feng and retreated quickly to the rear.

Not long after, the chamberlain left and returned, and Sima Sun Boling followed and came to Wei Feng.

"Your Majesty, Sun Boling, pays homage to your Majesty."

"Sima, please get up quickly."

After the monarch and his ministers greeted each other with courtesy, Sun Boling immediately wanted to report the newly obtained news, but was interrupted by Wei Feng.

Looking at the palaces standing in front of him, Wei Feng extended an invitation to Sun Boling, "Sima, would you like to go with me?"

Wei Feng invited him, and as a minister, Sun Boling naturally would not refuse, "I will obey the orders of your Majesty."

After a while, the monarch and his ministers were walking between the palaces. Because there were no other people around, Wei Feng's behavior became more casual.

"Sima, why do you want to see me today?"

Sun Boling, who was half a step behind Wei Feng, subconsciously speeded up his steps when he heard the inquiry from the front.

"I would like to inform you that Zou Ji, the envoy from the State of Qi, has arrived in Anyi today."

The news brought by Sun Boling seemed to arouse Wei Feng's thoughts, and there was a little stagnation in his forward steps.

After taking a few steps forward, Wei Feng said in a deep voice: "Wei and Qi are still at war. Why do you think Sima Qi's envoy Zou Ji came to our country?"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, envoys have only come and gone for a few things, either to make peace and make alliances, or to deliver letters to start a war, or to fight with each other, or to show off their power to the victor, or to humbly seek peace from the defeated."

After briefly summarizing the purpose of the envoy's exchange, Sun Boling's gaze directly met Wei Feng's gaze directed at him.

At this time, Wei Feng had already stopped in his tracks, with a look of interest on his face, "So, do you think Sima came to our country, Wei, for war or for peace?"

"Your Majesty."

Sun Boling gave a slight salute to Wei Feng and said with confidence: "Looking at the current war situation of Qi State, the Yue State in the south is often causing trouble, the front line of Qingshiguan is firmly held back by our coalition forces, and the Zhao State army in the north is even more disturbed.

Winning consecutively.”

"Based on the current war situation in Qi State, I boldly guess that the envoys from Qi are here to seek peace with Wei State."

"Seek peace."

After muttering softly to himself, Wei Feng immediately raised the corners of his mouth.

As he continued to walk forward, he heard him ask: "So, does Sima think I should agree to the envoy Qi's request for peace?"

"I think whether or not to agree to Qi's envoy's request for peace depends solely on the changes in the battlefield situation and the conditions given by Qi."

Following closely behind Wei Feng, Sun Boling spoke out his suggestions, "If the changes are beneficial to our country, Wei, and if the conditions are sufficient, then I think your Majesty can try to agree to Qi's request for peace."

Sun Boling's words seemed to give advice, but if you listened carefully, it turned out that there was no advice at all.

What kind of changes on the battlefield are beneficial to the Wei State, and how sufficient the conditions provided by the Qi State are, everything depends on whether the Wei State, that is, Wei Feng, is satisfied.

After realizing this, Wei Feng stopped in his tracks and looked at Sun Boling with a slightly reproachful look.

"Sima, you have been with the Prime Minister for a long time, and you have learned the Prime Minister's methods of advance and retreat very well!"

Sun Boling didn't seem to understand the meaning of Wei Feng's words, and just bowed down and said, "My lord, I don't dare to praise you like this."

"The prime minister assists the king in bringing glory to the state of Wei, and I really dare not compare myself with the prime minister."

"good very good."

Seemingly irritated by Sun Boling's words, Wei Feng said directly: "In that case, I will send Sima to ask on my behalf whether the terms of the envoy are generous enough?"

"Your Majesty, Sun Boling, respectfully obeys your Majesty's orders."

After bowing to obey the order, Sun Boling slowly raised his head and gradually looked at Wei Feng.

The moment the monarch and his ministers' eyes met, a knowing smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

"Hahaha……"

After a conversation between the king and his ministers in the palace, Sun Boling returned to his mansion in a carriage.

As soon as his footsteps were firmly on the ground, a waiter from the mansion came to report: "Your Majesty, a Qi man who calls himself Zou Ji came to pay a visit?"

Initially, he didn't pay attention to the news reported by the waiter, but when he heard Zou Ji's name, Sun Boling's eyes immediately lit up.

"Where are the others?"

Seeing that Sun Boling seemed to attach great importance to this Zou Ji, the waiter did not dare to neglect and immediately reported: "The man heard that the Lord was not here, so he said he would come to visit the Lord tomorrow."

"oh!"

With a hint of interest in his eyes, Sun Boling immediately ordered the waiter: "If that person comes tomorrow, lead him into the main hall and sit down. Don't be negligent in the slightest."

"The villain obeys the order."

…

The next day, while Sun Boling was sitting in the study, reading the slips in his hand, a report appeared outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the envoys have arrived."

"knew."

Putting the slip in his hand on the desk, briefly adjusting his clothes, Sun Boling strode towards the door.

Not long after, Qi's envoy Zou Ji, who was waiting in the main hall of the mansion, saw a man wearing a red robe walking into the door.

"It would be rude of Bo Ling to keep Ambassador Qi waiting."

Zou Ji had already guessed the identity of the visitor from the moment he entered the door. Now that he heard his name, he felt as if the two of them had known each other in their previous lives.

"Don't tell me that Ji only waited for a moment, but say that Sima's name is spread all over the world. What's the harm in making Ji wait for three days?"

Hearing Zou Ji's words, Sun Boling had a bright smile on his face and quickly came to him.

"Sun Boling, I have met the envoy of Qi."

"Zou Ji, I have met Sima."

After the two greeted each other, Sun Boling, as the host, led Zou Ji to the table and took a seat.

When both of them sat down, Sun Boling got straight to the point, "What is the reason why the envoy came to visit today?"

Sun Boling was so direct, which made Zou Ji a little unexpected. He also wanted to use the other party's background in Qi State to draw closer the relationship between the two.

However, Zou Ji just made a simple plan in his heart, and immediately said to Sun Boling: "To be honest with Sima, Ji came to Anyi this time really for the truce between Qi and Wei."

"really."

Zou Ji's answer did not go beyond Sun Boling's expectations. He just looked at the other person and silently waited for the next step.

Seeing that the expression on Sun Boling's face remained unchanged, as if he was not too interested in the truce between Qi and Wei, a sense of frustration appeared in Zou Ji's heart.

Just when Zou Ji didn't know how to expand the topic, Sun Boling, who had been paying attention to the changes in his expression, took the initiative to speak.

"Wei is the country where I became an official, and Qi is my home country. I would also like to see Qi and Wei reconcile."
