Pirates: Be the Master from the East China Sea

Ye Gong sighed: "This is not the worst situation. I am afraid that the Yue Kingdom and the Northern Wei Dynasty have already joined forces."

The King of Chu quickly said: "Why did Mr. Ye say this?"

Ye Gongdao: "Let me make a possible assumption. If the other party has already united with the Northern Wei Dynasty, then agreeing to ask for help for the Wu State this time is obviously with ulterior motives. After all, if the Yue State does not help the Wu State, the Wu State will be desperate. If you send an envoy here, my king may send reinforcements because of his dying lips and cold teeth, and Ye Yuan is here..."

Zi Qi reacted immediately and said: "He had no intention of helping Wu from the beginning. He came to Chu just to completely destroy the possibility of Chu and Wu joining forces. That's why he told Ye Gong at the banquet. He made disrespectful remarks and later allowed his men to kill General Cai Cheng just to anger my king and refuse to send troops to help Wu!"

King Chu exclaimed: "What a vicious scheme!"

Zi Xi quickly said: "Now we are on the verge of an arrow and have to take action. If the situation is allowed to worsen, the day when the Chu State will be destroyed is not far away. The only solution for now is to be open-minded with the Yue State and strive to unite with Wu and Yue." , work together to repel the invasion of the Northern Wei Dynasty..."

Cai Pi interrupted Zi Xi and said coldly: "Although your words are nice, who knows whether you accepted the heavy gift from Prince Yue and spoke for them?"

Zixi scolded: "Why did your superior say this?"

Cai Pi sneered and said, "We are all well aware of Ling Yin's habit of accepting bribes."

Zixi quickly faced the King of Chu and shouted, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

The King of Chu waved his sleeves and said: "Now that we are talking about state affairs, you put aside these disputes for the time being. The country has reached a critical moment of life and death. Do you still have the time to argue?"

Zi Qi said: "Prince Yue was assassinated yesterday. It was obvious that someone in the country wanted to destroy the alliance. If Prince Yue leaves angrily like this, he will definitely surrender to the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now we have no time to hesitate. Please make a decision as soon as possible. If When the allied forces of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom come to the city, you will regret it!"

Zi Qi's words were so powerful that the opposition couldn't help but be speechless.

Seeing this, Cai Pi, the senior official, finally couldn't hold it anymore and said angrily: "The State of Wu is our country's mortal enemy, and now we want to form an alliance with it, what will the people of our Chu State think?... Moreover, our State of Chu was once known as the Southern Hegemon and the Powerful Town. Princes, it is only because of the deceitfulness of the Wu State that our country has lost all face. Your Majesty must not forget the shame of King Ping and send troops to help Wu Han and the officers and men of our three armies!"

Zi Qi scolded: "Cai Pi, you are a traitor, do you really want to destroy our country of Chu again?"

Cai Pi stood up and said loudly: "It remains to be decided which of us is the traitor, but we must not send troops to help Wu. Even if we agree, the officers and men of the three armies will not agree. If the officers and men of the three armies agree, we, the people of Chu, will not agree!"

Zi Qi sneered and said: "Cai Pi, you are confusing right and wrong, and you are a great traitor. Now the Northern Wei Dynasty has long been eyeing it. After breaking Wu, it is about to deal with our Chu country. And our country has [-] infantry and [-] chariots. When the time comes, we will surely Leave [-] troops to defend against the Yue invasion. I dare to ask the doctor, how can this small force compete with the Northern Wei Dynasty, which has hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers?"

Cai Pi was startled when he heard this, and was speechless for a moment.

Zi Qi took advantage of the victory and pursued, and scolded: "If you dare to say that you can defeat the Northern Wei general Hua Mulan with these troops, then I, Zi Qi, will immediately offer my [-] armored soldiers with both hands without saying a word. But now I only ask one question." , do you have the courage?"

"you……"

Cai Pi was speechless and couldn't help but lower his head dejectedly.

This debate was obviously Cai Pi's defeat, and this defeat was the defeat of the opposition. All the officials were silent, and they all understood that it was imperative to unite with Vietnam to save Wu.

Chu State Mansion, inside Ye Yuan's room.

Ye Yuan leaned lazily on the bedside, chewing the fruit picked by Jiang Rou, and said in deep thought: "As long as the King of Chu and others adopt my theory, and confirm the strategy of uniting with our country of Yue and sending troops to rescue the country of Wu. This way Once the purpose of our trip is achieved, then I can take the final step.”

Jiang Rou couldn't help but ask: "What's the last step?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said: "Since the Cai family is firmly opposed to rescuing the Wu Kingdom, they will definitely not give up. Since they dare to bribe assassins to assassinate me, they are likely to make dangerous moves this time. As long as I get the handle on them, Then I can kill them."

Jiang Rou said nervously: "Will they send assassins again?"

Ye Yuan nodded and said: "As long as I die, the alliance will come to nothing. Now is their last chance, and it is also my best chance to deal with them. I will never let them go this time, and I will definitely avenge Han Yue." The revenge of that sword."

At this time, a figure walked into the courtyard gate. It was the envoy sent by the King of Chu: "The King of Chu has decided to unite with Yue to rescue Wu, and has come to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yue to the palace for discussion."

King's Palace of Chu, palace gate.

The messenger bent down and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Prince Yue, please come."

Ye Yuan smiled slightly and walked into the palace gate.

Behind him were Fan Kuai and Han Yue, both of whom looked cold.

After Ye Yuan got the news that the King of Chu had decided to form an alliance and send troops to help Wu, he understood that the Cai family's final counterattack was coming. This attack would meet the King of Chu, and they would probably organize a Jedi counterattack at this moment.

And he has informed Fan Kuai and Han Yue about this.

Ye Yuan had known that there was a lot of murderous intent in entering the palace this time, so he didn't want Han Yue to accompany him. After all, her old injury had relapsed and she still needed to recuperate. However, Han Yue insisted on coming, so he had no choice but to agree.

After all, rationally speaking, even if Han Yue is injured, as long as she still has three feet of green blade in her hand, she is a terrifying existence that cannot be ignored.

Ye Yuan stepped forward and looked around.

He has been to the King's Palace of Chu once, and he has already noticed that the layout here can be described as one post every three steps, and one sentry every five steps. Needless to say, it is heavily guarded. However, there are only a few soldiers patrolling and standing guard now. It has obviously been rearranged, resulting in this Of course there is no need to elaborate on all the reasons.

Ye Yuan smiled and looked at the envoy who was leading the way: "I came to the palace last time, and this road doesn't seem to lead to the main hall?"

The envoy bent down and turned around and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yue was attacked by an assassin last time. My king felt very sorry and planned to invite His Highness to the sword room to meet you. My king is willing to give you the treasured sword. This path is not wrong." , please be patient, Your Highness."

Ye Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What sword?"

The messenger smiled and said: "That sword is the second most famous sword in the world, Zhanlu, the Sword of Kings."

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, but sneered secretly in his heart.

Of course he knew the allusions to Zhanlu very well.At that time, King Yun of Yue ordered Ou Yezi to forge swords. It took ten years to forge five swords, namely Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yuchang and Chunjun.

Among them, the most difficult to refine and the most precious is Zhanlu.

At that time, Ou Yezi, his wife Zhu Shi, his daughter Mo Xie, his son-in-law Gan Jiang and his apprentices Feng Huzi, Xue Zhu and other outstanding craftsmen at the time spent a whole year finding the most suitable sword-making place, and then spent three years of hard work before finally casting it. The extremely sharp Zhanlu Divine Sword.
