The carriage is ready, Song Chu-yi holds the symbol and national letter on the carriage, and Shi Guo Wu and Zi Chao follow up.

  The car started moving. Song Chu Yi looked at the woman sitting beside him with her eyes cast down and said after a while, "Zi Chao, do you understand? You never had a way out from the very beginning."

  The child nodded and tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, "I understand"

  There's no way Song Chuyi could have grown up with such a face and figure without being used by her family for an advantageous marriage, even if the family hadn't declined. The path that Song Chuyi has given her is the best one under heaven for her.

  "I will never forget your great kindness and virtue, sir." The son slightly turned his body to face Song, and then kowtowed to him.

  "You haven't been by my side for long, but we do have some feelings after all. I don't want to say too many hypocritical words either. Although our relationship is built on mutual benefit, I'm willing to die for your survival." - Song Chu

  The child raised his head, and tears fell like rain.

  Song Chu smiled warmly and pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, handing it over to her.

  Is it necessary to treat men and women differently like this? And besides, this woman will be someone else's in a moment, does she need to be treated so gently?

  The carriage stopped in front of the main palace.

  On the high steps, the temple people saw Song Chu get off the car and pulled out a sharp and fine throat, shouting "The envoy of the protectorate has arrived!"

  Only Song Chu Yi was allowed into the palace, while everyone else was led by the temple people to a side hall to wait. In the morning, they listened to Song Chu Yi's words and covered their faces with veils.

  This side was extremely important for Song Chu Yi, she looked at the Qin Palace in the swirling snow and took a slight breath of the cold air before walking forward.

  "The Envoy of National Defense has arrived!"

  When arriving at the temple gate, there were again temple people loudly announcing

  Song Chuayi took off his shoes outside the palace gate, held his head high and chest out, and walked calmly into the palace.

  In the grand hall, the Qin king and his ministers had just finished discussing how to deal with Shang Yang when they received the Wei envoys. They were initially calm but as soon as Song Shi walked into the hall, they widened their eyes in utter disbelief.

  It is said that Wei State produces many talents, but now although the state of Wei is weak and small, it shouldn't be to the point where a 15 or 16 year old kid is used as a substitute!

  The palace was not very spacious, but with black as the main tone, it exuded a solemn and majestic aura everywhere. Song Chu looked at the man on the main seat with a moment of astonishment.

  Behind the throne was a massive black metal relief of a gigantic divine beast's skull, majestic and terrifying, with its teeth bared and claws outstretched, as if it could swallow the sky and spit out the earth. Before it sat a man in a black robe, his eyebrows like swords, slanting into his temples, his eyes sharp and cold as blades, his nose high and thin-lipped, his features chiseled like a knife's edge, and his facial contours clear and angular, all of which gave this young ruler an air of maturity that belied his years. He exuded an aura of intimidation without even moving.

  Song was shocked for two reasons. Firstly, she had never expected that Qin Gong would be so handsome, not just his face which was flawless, but also his long neck and broad shoulders, which showed that he had a perfect figure. Secondly, she recognized him at a glance as the "general" they had met on their way here.

  I suppose these past few days Duke Qin hasn't been receiving visitors because he personally went to execute Shang Yang, or perhaps he's handling other matters...

  "The outer minister pays respects to Duke Qin" Song Chu bowed and said

  The indifferent man on the main seat glanced at her faintly and said, "No need for courtesy."

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he held a metal cylinder in his hand, "This is the national letter from the Emperor to Duke Qin."

  One of the temple men stepped forward, took over the national letter with both hands and respectfully presented it to Duke Qin.

  He slightly raised his wide sleeves, stretched out his hand to take over the national letter, and with one hand easily opened the sealed tube cover, took out the silk book inside and shook it open in front of him, his eagle eyes slightly lowered and quickly scanned through.

  It has to be said that, putting aside his identity as the monarch of a country, this man himself can make heroes surrender and beauties adore him. Now he is still too young, if he were to wait a few more years, it would probably be even more unbearable. Song ChuYi secretly swallowed her saliva, feeling a pang of regret in her heart that she couldn't touch him due to his identity.

  "Scattered Dawn", Qin Gong finished reading the national letter, and only spat out two words

  All the ministers looked at each other in dismay, but just for a moment, then they all stood up straight and bowed their hands, saying in unison, "We beg to withdraw."

  A temple servant walked up to Song Chuyi and said, "The noble envoy requests your presence, please follow me."

  Song Chu was taken aback, having heard that Qin Gong's methods were swift and decisive, with a cold and few words. Indeed, hearing about it is not the same as seeing it in person! Not to mention not dragging things out, it was simply straightforward to the point where there wasn't even a single drop of water! Moreover, he was frugal with his words, Song Chu clearly remembered that from the time she came in until now, he had only spoken four words, without any extra movements.

  The temple master led Song Chuyi to the back hall and stood outside the door, "Noble envoy, please enter"

  As soon as Song stepped over the threshold, his foot landed on the cold stone slab, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger. He silently cursed, "Damn it! The Qin state isn't poor, yet they're too stingy to even lay down a mat!" And they don't care if they get frostbite either!

  The back hall was about half the size of the front hall, and more than a dozen bronze oil lamps that were half as tall as a person burned with a light that wasn't too bright. Song Chu initially glanced around the room with his peripheral vision, and the interior decoration was simple and elegant - so simple that there was no unnecessary decoration at all.

  "Please sit down" wins the way

  Song Chu made a bow and knelt down on the only seat

  The maid brought in tea and snacks, then bowed and backed out, closing the palace door behind her.

  He picked up his teacup and took a sip calmly, without any intention of speaking first.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, one's understanding of him was all hearsay and analysis from his behavior, only knowing his general temperament. But facing each other like this, he is so calm and peaceful, it's actually hard to guess what he's thinking.

  "The foreign minister came this time, was ordered by the monarch above, to discuss with Qin Gong the matter of attacking Wei" Since he likes to be straightforward, Song Chuyi also didn't beat around the bush and directly got to the point.

  A pair of cold, indifferent eagle eyes stared quietly at Song Chuyi, without any emotion, giving people a strong sense of oppression that was everywhere and inescapable, as if hinting to her to continue speaking.

  Alright, since you won't speak, I'll continue. "The grudge between Qin and Wei is not something an external minister like myself needs to elaborate on. The state of Wei has repeatedly bullied our small and weak country, and this time they've even used shameless tactics to coerce and seize our territory. Their actions are no different from those of mountain bandits. Our king has already dispatched a special envoy to denounce them to the Zhou Son of Heaven, and all under heaven are outraged. The states of Zhao and Han have already agreed to our king's request to punish Wei on behalf of heaven."

  Song Chu glanced at his handsome face and silently cursed, continuing, "These are just grandiose excuses. Wei State is a piece of fat meat, now everyone is sharing it. I invite Qin Gong to join in, do you have any intention?"

  "Good" wins the way

  Even if Song Chu initially could hide her emotions, at this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. This...this was too quick, she thought the persuasion process would be extremely difficult and had prepared dozens of drafts, but he didn't even give her a chance to perform!

  "Qin Gong's decisive judgment, outer ministers admire." At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a heartfelt praise for a horse.

  In an instant, she also understood why Huan Yi would agree to it. Now that Shang Yang is dead, the old aristocracy of Qin will definitely force him to overthrow the new law. As for the benefits of the new law, he was crystal clear in his mind. Shang Yang could stabilize the old aristocracy and eliminate the biggest obstacle to his advancement. Such a great opportunity, he must have made the decision without any hesitation. However, after Shang Yang's death, what followed was the pressure from the old aristocracy. Although he now holds the power of the monarch, the strength of the old aristocracy is absolutely not to be underestimated. He needs some buffer time to quietly strangle the chaotic hearts of the old aristocracy and firmly grasp the power of the aristocracy in his hands. Therefore, he needs an excuse to delay the discussion of overthrowing the new law. Attacking Wei is the best excuse, and no one from top to bottom in Qin will object to it.

  So, regardless of how credible Song Chu's words are and whether other countries will attack Wei or not, it has given Ying Zuo an excuse to fight, so let's just assume she is offering a strategy.

  "Please announce it at Qin's time" Song initially said

  The always expressionless face of Jun finally had a subtle change, because Song Chu didn't discuss with him when to launch the war together, but instead asked him to give a time, which meant that Song Chu had already seen through his intentions and was willing to cooperate.

  This young man is interesting...

  "The banquet is about to begin, let me consider it for a night and reply early tomorrow." Finally, Yíng Zhì broke the silence and said many words in one breath.

  Good grief! It's really not easy. Sighs filled Song Chu Yi's heart.

  "Qin Gong's demeanor is intimidating, if he adds a hint of a smile, he can surely turn the world upside down." Song Chuoyi's face turned serious as he patted another horse, then bowed to apologize, "Your humble servant is too bold and presumptuous, Qin Gong please forgive me."

  He stood up straight, looking down at her with a condescending gaze, and coldly threw out a sentence, "I don't eat by relying on my face."

  Song Chu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing. He didn't expect someone so serious to have a sense of humor!

  "The banquet is ready, Your Excellency, please follow me to the side hall for a short rest." The maid knelt down in front of Song Chuyi.

  Song Chu glanced in the direction of Ying Ju's departure, a faint smile playing on his lips, and also stood up to follow the maid to the side hall.

  Zhang Guo and others returned one thing at the beginning of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't help but stand up straight, and Ji Yu couldn't help but ask, "Sir?"

  "Don't worry" Song Chuoyi smiled brightly and pulled Zi Chao, "Chao, I must tell you that Qin Gong is really very interesting. Although his interest is a bit subtle, but his appearance and demeanor, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can match him."

  Ji Yu saw Song Chu's emotions were no different from usual, and he slightly put his mind at ease.

  Her face was slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed. Her emotions were complex, and her expression didn't show joy or sadness. She could only lower her head and bury it in her chest to avoid the topic.

  Song Chu smiled with a sly face and said, "Chao, although your breasts are indeed beautiful, you don't have to be so infatuated with them yourself, do you?"

  Her face was flushed red all the way to her ears, and she slightly tilted her head to one side, with a look of shame and indignation that moved people to tears.

  Li Gongping couldn't take it anymore, and with a "pa" sound, he slammed the teacup on the table, suppressing his temper, furrowing his brow and saying, "As someone who is supposed to be a role model, please restrain yourself!"

  "Hey, morning, did you hear that? From now on, when I'm being teased, I'll say this with conviction." Song Chuoyi stroked his chin, scrutinizing Gao Yubing several times, and clicked his tongue, "How many times do you need to be teased before you can say something like that with such righteous indignation?"
