"Second Prince, I heard that Princess Xiang Yunyan of Chu State has arrived in the capital and is now staying at the Tage Tower. If the Second Prince is interested, why not go and visit her."

Xiang Yunyan?

The Chu State is now forced to lock down the city and cannot protect itself.

What does she mean as a princess?! She is just an abandoned child!

When Liu Zhongqing told Li Yuntian the news, did he want him to negotiate with Xiang Yunyan and risk saving the Chu State?

Seeing the puzzled look on the other party's face, Liu Zhongqing smiled and was not angry.

No matter how you say you are a young person, this word of experience is accumulated over time.

"I heard that the prince has also received the news. What do you think he will do?"

When Li Yuntian heard this, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he said coldly: "I guess... he should find a way to save the Chu State and join forces to fight against the Huns?"

Liu Zhongqing nodded and said: "Yes, Li Yunxing has great ambitions. He wants to unite with Chu and several other small countries to attack the Huns together. In this way, he can defeat the Huns in the shortest time."

"Moreover, the Chu State is now forced to have no way to retreat. As long as the Wu Dynasty is willing to send troops to help, it will definitely be reused in the future."

"At that time, the prince will be able to show his face in front of His Majesty the Emperor Wu, and from then on he will rise to great heights and become the new king of our Chu country."

"So I guess the prince will not give up this opportunity, and he will take action soon."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, I will go to Xiang Yunyan for peace talks tomorrow."

"No."

Mentioning this, Liu Zhongqing's eyes flashed coldly.

"Xiang Yunyan can't stay, we have to wait until the prince takes action."

"Waiting for the prince to take action?" Li Yuntian frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.

Liu Zhongqing said calmly: "Regardless of the small and weak state of Chu, if they are really determined to defend the city, even if His Majesty the Emperor Wu personally conquers the city, they may not be able to break through easily. After all, the old emperor is not someone to be trifled with.

"

"The prince must want to capture the fat piece of Chu State. Chu State has a dangerous geographical location and borders many neighboring countries, including the Western Regions, the Xiongnu and the Southern Barbarians."

"If an alliance can be concluded with the Chu State, the Wu Dynasty's territory may be further expanded, and it can also annex several small surrounding countries to strengthen itself!"

Only then did the second prince Li Yuntian finally understand that the prince's plan was so great that if he were allowed to accomplish this thing.

From now on, who else dares to say no to the position of crown prince?

Not only that, if the Chu Kingdom surrenders, the entire thirty-six eastern kingdoms will fall into chaos, and even the Southern Barbarians, Western Regions and Xiongnu may take advantage of the situation.

Once it develops to that extent, the Wu Dynasty will completely control the forty-nine countries in the east, and even unify the entire China!

"What a huge ambition!" Even Li Yuntian couldn't help but sigh, but then he said with some doubts.

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

There was a sinister look on the corner of Liu Zhongqing's mouth.

"When the prince becomes complacent and thinks that everything is under his control, then he suddenly strikes and delivers a fatal blow. This will be more lethal!"

…

On the other side, Xiang Yunyan actually just arrived at the capital of Wu Dynasty this evening.

Before leaving, the King of Chu told her many times not to return to Chu.

As long as Xiang Yunyan is not in Chu State, the Xiongnu King Chanyu has no reason to continue to pursue Chu State.

But she was unwilling to do so and kept hiding.

Therefore, in the past ten days, she traveled northward, sleeping day and night, and traveling day and night. Finally, she escaped from the territory of Chu State, ran all the way, and finally reached the border of Wu Dynasty.

At this moment, looking at the majestic capital of the Wu Dynasty, Xiang Yunyan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense spirit finally eased a bit.

Although she knew her father was right, how could Xiang Yunyan, as a princess of a country, be willing to admit defeat and be expelled by the Huns and allow them to massacre the people of Chu?

Now that she has finally arrived in the Wu Dynasty, she also has a moment to take a breather. This time she must not just give up.

After figuring it out, she immediately took the official road and came to the capital of Wu Dynasty to seek asylum.

Xiang Yunyan's goal is very clear, which is to find Li Yunxing, the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty, and ask him to help her restore her country.

However, Xiang Yunyan never imagined that all her actions would have been under Liu Zhongqing's surveillance!

But Xiang Yunyan's beauty is also very dangerous.

This time she entered the capital, not as grandly as the last time she came to Wen Dou. As a princess of Chu, she could sit in a soft sedan carried by eight people and go directly through the streets and alleys without any obstruction.

But today, she could only bring two personal maids, disguised herself, and walked into the city. The number of people she met along the way made the entire Tage Pavilion feel as crowded as a vegetable market.

This made Xiang Yunyan, who was already unhappy, even more angry and cursed bitterly.

"The Wu Dynasty is indeed full of rough villagers. How can they still have any grace when they are crowded around like this?"

Xiang Yunyan's personal maid Qiu Shui quickly comforted him.

"Miss, please calm down. The people of the Wu Dynasty don't understand such elegant works as poems and songs. Naturally, they are a little reckless. Now that we are in the Wu Dynasty, it is better to follow the local customs."

Qiu Shui's words are true. Although the Wu Dynasty had a vast territory, rich resources, and a large population, due to frequent wars over the years, the folk customs were relatively strong and there were many brave men among the people.

These people have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their skills in slash-and-burn farming and farmland farming are far superior to those of other countries.

But this does not mean that people from the Wu Dynasty can be humiliated at will.

Hearing Xiang Yunyan complaining at this moment, the guests at several nearby wine tables couldn't help showing contempt, and some even stood up to argue with Xiang Yunyan about right and wrong.

"Girl, you sound like you're not from the Wu Dynasty, right? I see that you're from a well-educated family, how can you be so rude when you speak?"

"Exactly! How can I, the people of Wu Dynasty, tolerate your humiliation!"

"We are all truly upright men. How can we be like your country of Chu, where one day goes by "Wanzi" and "Ziyue" comes, and in the end there is no day like Ziwu!"

The rough guys became more and more excited as they talked, and even rolled up their sleeves, as if they were about to start a fight.

Xiang Yunyan couldn't help being frightened when she saw this, and quickly pulled Qiu Shui next to her.

Fortunately, she is now wearing a veil, otherwise she might have been recognized by others and attracted onlookers.

At this moment, Qiu Shui beside Xiang Yunyan had blushed and glared at everyone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who dares to be rude to my... my girl!"

Qiu Shui is Xiang Yunyan's personal maid. She has served Xiang Yunyan since she was a child and she is naturally loyal.

At this time, a man in his early twenties walked out and spoke to reassure everyone.
