Chapter Forty-Five

  "This..." Wei Hou hesitated, "Such a dangerous matter, let me send someone else to do it instead!"

  This plan was thought up by Song ChuYi, what if she died, would all their efforts be in vain? Although Wei Hou felt that Song ChuYi could come up with this plan, but after all, he was still too young and might not have the ability to control the overall situation. However, he couldn't let this promising youngster get into trouble.

  "There is no one more familiar with Qin State and its people than Wei Guo. In this plan, whether or not to persuade Qin State to send troops is the key. If this fails, everything will be in vain." Song Chu had already made plans in her heart, and this time, being sent to Qin State might seem like a danger to others, but to her, it was both a danger and an opportunity.

  Wei Hou hesitated and looked at Kaito, "What does the old general think?"

  Ke Qing looked at Song ChuYi with a glance, before this plan, he had never really taken her seriously, thinking that Ji Yu was too concerned about this person, just a half-grown child, even if she had the ability, it would still take some time to cultivate, but today he completely overturned his own views - this half-grown child, fully possessed the mind and abilities of an adult!

  "I think this matter is of great importance, and we must ensure that there are no mistakes." said Kiyokawa Kei with a bow.

  "Right! The old general is right!" Wei Hou valued talent, but as long as he could avenge his arrow wound, what did it matter if he lost one or two talents? As soon as Wei Hou was reminded, he immediately agreed.

  Song Chu raised an eyebrow slightly and bowed her head to take a sip of tea.

  The Duke of Wei, in his excitement, leaned forward and asked, "I will prepare your luggage for you tomorrow to go on a mission to the state of Qin. Do you need any money or beautiful women?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he put down his tea cup and sat upright, saying, "Secretly send an envoy, everything is simple. You only need to prepare a national letter, so that I can smoothly meet with the king of Qin State."

  "Good!" Without having to spend money or use beautiful women, the Marquis of Wei was even more delighted. He immediately said, "General Jin Wu, I hereby appoint Mr. Huai Yin as a special envoy of our state of Wei, to secretly go on a mission to Qin. General, please help him prepare his luggage. After I discuss with the Prime Minister, we will draft the official letter tomorrow and send it to your residence."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, when he first met Marquis Wei, he said, "Huan Jin has another request."

  Wei Hou slightly composed himself and asked, "What's going on?"

  "Huai Jin is sent to the state of Qin, it must be a situation where danger lurks around every corner. Therefore, I request that before Huai Jin arrives in the state of Qin, Your Majesty strictly guard this matter and do not let it leak out. Otherwise, if by any chance Huai Jin is intercepted and killed on the way, I fear... The outcome will certainly be more disastrous than fortunate."

  "Even the Grand Master and others cannot discuss it?" Duke Wei was somewhat embarrassed. The state of Wei has not had the power to resist foreign enemies in recent years, so it can only rely on the Grand Master Gongsun Jian to mediate diplomatic affairs, and Duke Wei relies heavily on him.

  "In the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one Su Ke said solemnly, 'It's hard to guard against rumors! This matter must not be leaked out! This time, Weiguo has lost more than half of its territory, fortunately, the military strength is still preserved, and there is still a chance to fight back. If this opportunity is missed, next time when Weiguo loses territory again, do you think, Your Majesty, that Weiguo will still have a chance to struggle? Moreover, Weidi is adjacent to Wei State, with little difference in customs and habits, it's easy to be assimilated into Wei State. After a long time, all the people of Weiguo will become people of Wei State. Even if there is a chance to take it back, how long will it take for Weiguo to reunite? Can Weiguo wait that long?"

  Once common people get used to a country's management system, it takes a lot of time and effort to change their ways, sometimes even requiring one or two generations to assimilate the conquered land and population into their own country.

  "This is a rare opportunity for the defense, if this matter leaks out and leads to failure, don't you think it's a pity?" Song saw that Wei Hou was wavering, so he continued, "Wait until Huan Jin arrives safely in Qin State, then Your Highness can discuss with the Grand Minister again. If Your Highness does not want to take revenge, Huan Jin will absolutely have no objections."

  "A grudge must be avenged!" Wei Hou heard Song Chu say this and immediately nodded in agreement, "Very good! Let's do as the master says!"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one bowed his head and paid respects, "Your Majesty is wise and brilliant!"

  Wei Hou summoned Song Chu Yi, originally just listened to the plan and added to the instigation of Li Guang, feeling hot-blooded, wanting to listen to Song Chu Yi's detailed plan first, and then discuss with Shang Dafu and others before making a decision. However, Song Chu Yi's words were too inciting, unknowingly he had already agreed enthusiastically.

  Out of the Wei Palace, Kiyotaka invited Shouko into the same carriage.

  The wind is not strong between the streets and alleys, in the midst of the vast snowfall, the carriage moves at a moderate pace.

  Kaito Keikoku scrutinized So Ichiro at close range for a while, then asked, "Sir, you didn't let the Taifu know, was it really because you were afraid of being intercepted and killed by enemy troops along the way?"

  "Of course." Song Chu Yi smiled slightly, the mist from her mouth dispersing, since Zha Guo Qing had his doubts, she didn't hide it either, "However, Hua Jin is not just for preventing enemy interception, but also for preventing Da Fu's interception."

  Although Ke Qing had a vague guess in his heart, he was still surprised when he heard the answer. Song Chuyi had just arrived in Weiguo for less than two days, how could he know about the situation in Weiguo?

  "Is the General puzzled?" Song Chu's eyes curved, smiling as he looked at him, "Actually, it's not hard to guess. I read one or two volumes of records in the study room, and they all contain the figure of the Imperial Physician! Moreover, I heard from Wu Mei and others that the General and the Imperial Physician are competing with each other, fearing that it is also because of different views on the main war and the main peace?"

  Gongsun Jian stubbornly adhered to his own views and would not permit such a reckless plan, besides he was extremely self-centered, thinking that the state of Wei would collapse without him, how could he allow others to defy his ideas?

  "Did you see? You're not playing Go with Liu Bo, are you?" asked Hei Gou with surprise.

  Song Chu suddenly opened his eyes wide and feigned surprise, saying, "So General knows all about our actions!"

  Hei Guo was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing and patted her shoulder, "Sly little brat, you've got me wrapped around your finger!"

  Song Chu smiled and said, "How dare I! How dare I!"

  The lines of the young man and woman are relatively soft, Song Chu Yi is at this age, plus her demeanor is like a man, knowledgeable and insightful, ordinary people would not have thought that she was a woman.

  Kazetani Kei gazed at him for a long time, without any suspicion. He was just looking at this child who was as big as his own grandson, with agile thinking and yet calmness that didn't match his age. This made Kazetani Kei's heart move with pity, and his attitude towards Song Chu became much gentler. "Although I am a martial artist, there are not many books in my house. If you have time, let Gui Qu bring you to the big study."

  "Thank you, General!" Song Chu said with a bow.

  He Qiong slightly nodded and began to ask in detail about Song Chu's background, he was really curious, what kind of family could produce such a talented person.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a young man carefully considered his answer and only said that he was a person from the Song State, with no parents, and had left home to study under a master since childhood.

  Huaiyin asked, "Whose disciple is Huajing?"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one answered with respect and sincerity, "Huaichen, whether or not he succeeded in his life, would never speak of his teacher's door."

  In the Spring and Autumn period, the hundred schools of thought contended with each other, by the Warring States period, various schools of thought had already formed mature systems. Many schools had strange rules, Song Chu said so, and Zhen Guo Xing only regarded it as a rule of the school. He turned to say, "I have an eldest grandson, who is about your age, but he is extremely mischievous, with exceptional talent and insight, yet very steady. One day I will introduce you two to each other, and ask you to teach that naughty child well for me!"
