"He's never short of women" Ji Bian casually dropped a sentence and turned around to leave with Song Chuyi.

  As soon as they went out, Song Chuoyi imitated his tone and said, "Some people are not short of women."

  Ji Bian's face suddenly turned bright red

  "Hahaha!" Song Chuyi looked at him with an even more amused expression. In the Song country, Song Chuyi had known that Ji Bian's standards were very high, and he would not take a liking to ordinary women. She couldn't help but curiously stare at his lower body, "Tsk, I say, your brother wouldn't still be a inexperienced little bird who hasn't opened up yet, right?"

  Ji Fan's face turned red with anger and shame, "Sir, if you have some skill, then handle something proper for once!"

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he didn't ask any more questions about Ji Yan and Bi Guo's differences. Bi Guo seemed to have a bad temper, but in fact, his tolerance was very high, and after losing his temper, he wouldn't hold grudges. However, Ji Yan had a strong sense of self-respect, and it was possible that there would be no room for reconciliation.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, she had always been good at judging people, including Min Chi, who she had seen through from the start. However, she had mistakenly thought that he wouldn't take advantage of her.

  Two people entered a tavern and sat down in a quiet secluded spot.

  In these times, taverns and gaming houses are both good places to gather information. Compared to the former, the information obtained from the latter is more accurate. However, precisely because of this, Song ChuYi fears that if he appears too many times, he will eventually be recognized by them. It's still safer in a small tavern.

  "Is Mr. Min really that kind of person?" Ji Bian asked.

  "What do you think?" Song Chu took a sip of rice wine, leaned against the railing, and looked down at the news below with his eyes narrowed.

  No matter what kind of person Min Chi is, she will make him that kind of person. In fact, when she learned from Ji Yu that Min Chi was the envoy to Qi Chu, she had already made preparations. Even if Min Chi didn't frame her, she would still frame Min Chi.

  Don't guard against one in ten thousand, just guard against the one! What affection, was cut off cleanly on that city wall from the beginning. Song ChuYi's style has always been "You are not benevolent, I will not be righteous".

  "Gentlemen!"

  A middle-aged businessman walked onto the stage, and everyone stopped talking, looking over.

  "He is a Korean businessman who just finished a deal in China yesterday and has some news to share that might interest you all."

  Everyone cast their attention over with curious eyes. Someone said, "Brother, tell us what you have to say."

  "Lately, Mr. Song's matter has been widely spread, but there is one thing that I find very strange. It is said that the alliance of various countries to attack Wei was initiated from Zhao Guo, and Qi Guo borders Zhao Guo. From Linzi, the capital of Qi Guo, to Pingyang, which is only a few dozen miles away from Zhao Guo, and then from Pingyang to Puyang, I have never heard of this matter."

  A middle-aged merchant paused and continued, "If it's true as the rumors say, that Song Huaijin betrayed his lord to seek fame, how thick is the foundation of Qi State? Why didn't he send the news to Qi State first, but instead sent it back to Puyang? I'm just a humble merchant who doesn't understand politics, so I ask you gentlemen for an explanation."

  "Really?" someone immediately questioned

  The merchant raised his hand and said, "If there is even half a word of falsehood, I will not come to a good end."

  Most of Bo Yang's scholars' activities were limited to the vicinity of Bo Yang, and most of those who could convey messages were merchants, a small number of traveling scholars, and spies from various countries.

  Ji Bian finally heard a relatively favorable remark, and his heart was overjoyed. He turned his head to look at Song Chu, but saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved upwards, and her fingers were lightly tapping on the railing, as if she had expected it all along.

  Ji Bian leaned in close to her and lowered his voice, saying, "Could it be that sir is behind this?"

  After saying that, he was a little unbelievable in his heart. Song Chuyi had been with him all these days and could be said to have never left his side for a moment. She simply didn't have the time to do those things.

  "When the moon is full, it begins to wane; when water is full, it begins to spill. It's the same with words. What's there to be so shocked and amazed about?" Song Chu Yi said.

  Ji Yan nodded, seemingly agreeing with some reason, but he couldn't help feeling that Song Chuyi was in the know.

  Someone downstairs suddenly said, "Speaking of which, I've also heard a piece of news, but I don't know if it's true or false."

  "You speak and we listen," said another person

  "It's said that Mr. Min learned of this plan while persuading the King of Qi, and that it originated from Mr. Song, who is said to be a second Sunzi." The man smiled and said, "It's all hearsay, I don't know what's true or false, and it's hard for me to verify."

  Sun Bin was originally a strategist for the state of Qi, but he passed away last year! Thinking about it this way, when the King of Qi said that Song Huaiyin is second only to Sunzi, perhaps it wasn't just praise for her strategic thinking, but also an intention to recruit her to Qi?

  As soon as Song heard this, he paused for a moment with the wine cup that was about to reach his lips, and the smile on his face grew even brighter. This news really came at just the right time!

  Song Chu suddenly raised his head, drank a mouthful of wine, put down his cup and stood up, saying "Let's go!"

  "Where to?" Ji Bian immediately stood up

  "Big news! Big news!"

  Just as Song was about to speak, someone suddenly shouted from downstairs, and the hall immediately fell silent.

  A young scholar stood in the center of the hall, panting, and said loudly, "The King of Wei has sent an envoy! I've heard that the 150,000-strong army of Wei has already arrived at Guiling. The King of Wei demands that we hand over Mr. Song and Mr. Min, kill General Shi and General Zuo, otherwise he will conquer our country!"

  "It can't be!" Someone immediately stood up in the crowd, "General Ji Shi is even more impossible to kill! The country will have fewer soldiers and less military power. If General Ji Shi is killed, where can we find another skilled general?"

  As people say, the soldiers of Wei are indeed pitifully few. If placed among the Seven Warring States, the position of General would be drowned in the vast sea of people and wouldn't count for much. But in Wei, it is already considered a not-so-small military officer position.

  Many people may not have heard of Ji Yu's great name, but someone who can be selected to escort envoys must be highly skilled in martial arts and very good at fighting. In fact, the main reason why Ji Yu's official position cannot be promoted is that the country has few soldiers, and above the commander is the general. Several old generals have been fighting for decades, they do not retire, and Ji Yu does not have space to promote.

  "The truth is still unclear, how can we hand someone over so easily? We'll fight it out with the King of Wei!" a person shouted emotionally.

  However, his words were met with little response from the king of Wei. It was clear that he wanted to obtain two strategists and get rid of the brave warriors of the state of Wei at the same time, mobilizing an army of 150,000 men. If the state of Wei could not borrow troops, it would be immediately swallowed up without even leaving a trace.

  "Master, save him!" Ji Bian hastily whispered in a low voice.

  Song Chu nodded, "Don't worry, the Emperor will definitely ask about me from General Shi's mouth, as long as I don't appear, he won't be in danger of losing his life for the time being."

  Maybe it will be a bit tough, but Song ChuYi believes that Ji Yu will definitely hold on.

  Ji Bian thought for a moment and indeed it was so. If he found Song Chuyi, Ji Yu might immediately lose his life.

  Wei Hou was what kind of person Song Chu initially understood, and Ji Bian understood even more clearly that in order to end the war, he could do whatever it took.

  This is also one of the reasons why all the talented people in the country are unwilling to stay in their hometown to serve as officials.

  No one goes to blame Wei Hou, he did this, calming down wars after wars, making the weak and small state of Wei survive till now, and the people avoiding slaughter is not a big mistake. If Wei State resists, it's just like hitting a stone with an egg.

  Song Chu initially thought that Wei Hou was also ambitious, otherwise he would not have agreed to Song Chu's plan to unite the states and attack Wei if he were truly timid. However, when he ascended to the throne, the country had already weakened, and his ambition could not be supported by military force.

  Everyone in the tavern rushed out to stop Wei Hou from killing Ji Yu.

  Song Chu Yi and Ji Bian also blended into the crowd outside the wine shop, then followed a street before darting into a secluded alley.

  "Where are we going, sir?" Ji Bian hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we go find Zhen Jun Zhen?"

  On the way here, Ji Bian saw them chatting quite harmoniously, and Zhen Jun seemed like a good person.

  "At this critical moment, Song Chuyi would not believe a person she had only met once, 'Let's go back to that small courtyard'"

  Two people hurried back

  In a small courtyard, two girls who looked identical were using sharpened wooden sticks to turn over the soil, as if preparing to sow seeds.

  One of the girls saw Ji Bian and smiled with surprise on her face as she went to pull another girl.

  They dropped their sticks and rushed over to open the door, bowing their bodies in a shrimp-like shape to invite Song Chuyi and Ji Bian into the courtyard.

  The girl's joyful expression had just revealed a few points of brightness, and Song Chuyi couldn't help but size up the two people.

  As soon as Ji Yan saw Song Chuyi's expression, he knew that she was probably thinking of picking someone up again. He immediately said, "Sir, we still have important matters to attend to."

  So saying, Song Chu Yi temporarily put away his idea and said, "He and I will stay here for a few more days, you all continue with your work."

  Inside the house came the sound of weaving, Song Chuyi sat on the veranda watching two girls turning over the soil.

  Ji Bian walked back and forth in the courtyard.

  It wasn't until almost evening that the woman came out of the house and saw Ji Bian and Song Chuyi, she was also very delighted. "I'll go cook dinner."

  The sunset is golden red, Song Chu stands in the courtyard watching the geese flying back in the sky, the air is filled with the smell of soil, and his heart can't help but relax.

  It seems that many years ago, when she lived with her father at the foot of the mountain, the old man also loved to work on the land in the yard every day. At night, he would observe the stars and tell her about the big cowhide, saying which day it would rain, but his level was almost the same as Song Chuyi's now, without any accuracy at all. The land in the yard had never produced anything.

  She remembered that it was not long after winter had begun, she and her father had been hungry for two days, and her father had also contracted a mild cold. On the evening of that day, just like now, a young guest came to visit, and her father personally entrusted her to that person.

  That was her last time seeing him, the old man burst into tears, and when she left the yard, she heard his loud wailing.

  Ji Bian felt anxious in her heart, but seeing Song Chu closed her eyes, with a smile on her face that seemed to be both happy and sad at the same time, bathed in the golden red sunlight, she looked incredibly gentle.

  At this moment, Song Chuyi looks very good-looking, even if Ji Bian feels that this beauty has nothing to do with whether she is a woman or not.

  Two girls turned over all the soil in the yard, and the woman brought the dishes out onto the stone table outside.

  "Sir, gentleman," a woman softly called out, "it's edible now."

  Song Chu Yi and Ji Yu sat down in front of the table, and the woman opened a ceramic jar, which surprisingly contained plain white rice.

  The woman gave Song Chu a bowl of rice and then returned to the house, calling her two daughters to go to the small shed to eat.

  Song Chuoyi took two mouthfuls, turned his head and glanced back. With just a quick glance, he could easily tell that the woman's bowl had bean rice, while the two girls' bowls had plain white rice.

  Two children occasionally wanted to give some rice to their mother, but the woman said something in a low voice and they didn't insist anymore.

  Song initially hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl and walked in front of the woman, handing it to her.
