"Kakaka..."

Accompanied by the sound of wheels slowly advancing in the bustling streets of Linzi, a carriage was seen slowly moving towards the Qi State Palace.

In the carriage, Ying Quliang, the young master of the Qin Kingdom, who was dressed in black and rich clothes, stretched out his right hand to lift the side curtain, and looked through the window quietly at the pedestrians passing by.

After watching like this for a long time, Ying Quliang gently put down the side curtain in his hand, and the memory of not long ago emerged in his mind again.

"Sir, Qi Gong suddenly invited me, but has there been any change?" After hearing the report from the waiter outside the door, Ying Quliang looked at Zheng and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid something happened on the Hexi battlefield."

After muttering to himself, Zheng Sheng met Ying Quliang's gaze, and a solemn look appeared on his face.

"Since Qi Gong invites you this time, you might as well come to the palace to see him. Maybe he can be of help to Qin."

After listening to Zheng Sheng's words, Ying Quliang stood still in front of the door, his thoughts flowing rapidly at this moment.

After pondering for a long time, Ying Quliang bowed slightly to Zheng Sheng and said: "Since Mr. said so, Quliang will go immediately."

With the memories flowing in Ying Quliang's mind, the carriage under him quickly passed through the streets of Linzi and arrived at the palace gate of the Qi State Palace.

"Sir, we are here."

A reminder from outside the carriage pulled Ying Quliang out of his past memories, and he lightly lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

When he stood firm on the ground and looked at the gorgeous palace in front of him, a complex and inexplicable emotion flashed through Ying Quliang's eyes.

In the past few months, he visited here countless times, but every time he was refused by Qi Gong Tian Wu for various reasons and was unable to enter.

Unexpectedly, just when he didn't know what to do, Tian Wu would take the initiative to send an envoy and invite him to the palace to see him.

Just as Ying Quliang stared at the gorgeous Qi Palace in front of him, feeling inexplicable in his heart, several palace servants who had been waiting in front of the palace gate slowly came to him.

"Sir, your Majesty is waiting for you in the palace."

Upon hearing the words of the leading palace servant, Ying Quliang's face immediately straightened up, "Please lead the way."

"Master, please."

…

Following the footsteps of these palace people, Ying Quliang slowly walked through the roads, passed through the palace walls, and finally came to a small pavilion in the Qi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Prince Quliang has arrived."

"Invite him over."

After a conversation not far away, Ying Quliang followed the returning palace man into the small pavilion. At this moment, he finally saw his target, Qi Gong Tian Wu.

"The prince of Qin State, Ying Quliang, pays homage to Duke Qi."

"Young master, no gifts."

A middle-aged man's voice came from the front. Looking in the direction of the voice, what caught Ying Quliang's eyes was a handsome face.

But for Ying Quliang, who knew the past of the person in front of him, there was an unspeakable depth hidden in that handsome face.

Kill brother, kill nephew, exile mother...

Even one of these things is so shocking to the ears, not to mention that the people in front of me put them into practice one by one.

He was originally just a bastard with no inheritance rights, but he was able to ascend to the position of king of Qi step by step. The ingenuity of the man in front of him is beyond anyone's estimation.

He is like a fog that makes people unable to see through; he is like an abyss that makes people afraid to move forward.

He is the current Marquis of Qi, Tian Wu.

With a seemingly friendly smile on his face, Tian Wu softly invited Ying Quliang in front of him: "Master, please sit down."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi." Faced with Tian Wu's invitation, Ying Quliang thanked him in a deep voice.

After the two of them sat down at the two desks in the small pavilion, the smile on Tian Wu's face became even brighter.

"Young master, do you know why I invited you to the palace to see you today?"

When Ying Quliang heard this question, his eyes moved, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Quliang doesn't know, please let the Marquis of Qi know."

Listening to the response from Ying Quliang on the opposite side, Tian Wu did not immediately explain his intention, but took out a silk book from his arms.

After a few breaths, after taking the silk book from the attendant's hand and reading it, the expression on Ying Quliang's face immediately froze.

Ying Quliang did not expect that the news recorded in this silk book was that the Qin army was defeated by Shaoliang. At this moment, the Wei State had completely grasped the initiative in the battle of Hexi.

"What?"

Listening to the sound of surprise ringing in his ears, and looking at the disbelieving look on Ying Quliang's face opposite him, the corners of Tian Wu's mouth slightly curved.

"Qi Gong, is this news true?"

Although he knew that Tian Wu in front of him was unlikely to deceive him with false news, Ying Quliang still confirmed the authenticity of the matter with him.

When Ying Quliang's questioning voice appeared in his ears, the expression on Tian Wu's face suddenly became serious.

"This news was brought back from Hexi by our Qi State in Wei State. It is indeed true."

The authenticity of the news was once again confirmed from Tian Wu's mouth, and Ying Quliang's face became particularly ugly at this moment.

As the heir to the throne of Qin, he knew very well what the situation on the battlefield in Hexi meant to Qin.

The silk book in his right hand was suddenly clenched tightly, and water dripped from his forehead. Ying Quliang's heart was already in a turmoil at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, Ying Quliang slowly stood up from his seat and bowed to Tian Wu in front of him.

"Please ask Qi Gong to save my Qin country?"

"Qi and Qin have always been friendly. Now that Qin is in trouble, we, Qi, should send troops to help."

"It's just that the Wei state is so powerful now, I'm afraid..." Faced with Ying Quliang's request, Tian Wu said with some embarrassment.

After listening to Tian Wu's words, Ying Quliang immediately understood that the other party was making conditions for him.

After pondering for a moment, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he heard Ying Quliang say in a deep voice: "If Qi is willing to send troops to help, we, Qin, are willing to reach an alliance with Qi from now on, and regard Qi as the leader of the alliance."

After Ying Quliang finished speaking, a look of satisfaction appeared in Tian Wu's eyes.

In the past few decades, Wei State repeatedly led the three Jin coalition forces to attack Qi State, which caused deep hatred between the two countries.

If there is a chance, Qi will certainly be willing to send troops to attack Wei. This is also the reason why Qi agreed to Qin before.

The reason why Qi State has not made any move is because it wants Qin State to send troops first and attract the main force of Wei army to the battlefield in Hexi.

After the eastern part of Wei State was empty, Qi State could mobilize its army and attack the cities occupied by Wei State very easily.

In other words, Qi was originally prepared to send troops when the fierce battle between Qin and Wei was in full swing, and agreeing to Ying Quliang's request was just a matter of smooth sailing.

Tian Wu deliberately acted embarrassed because he wanted to gain more benefits for Qi State. It was obvious that Tian Wu was very satisfied with the conditions given by Ying Quliang.

After a few breaths, Tian Wu slowly stood up from the seat and heard him say in a deep voice to Ying Quliang: "Since the young master has said so, how can I not agree?"

"Don't worry, young master, we, the Qi State Council, will send out troops to attack Wei immediately!"
