Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Nine: Gifts from the People of Qi

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room through the paper, Cao Hui sat up from the bed, stretched his waist long, and turned over and got out of bed.

The door opened at this moment. Two followers walked in with hot water and towels and placed them in front of Cao Hui.

He wrung the towel out, handed it to Cao Hui, wiped his face, then took the mouthwash handed over by his follower, and whispered back and forth in his mouth several times, spitting into the spittoon on the side.

Two followers withdrew silently, another official walked in, looked at Cao Hui, and smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, I've been resting for a night, and I look so beautiful today!"

Cao Hui smiled, sat at the small table, reached out to signal the person to sit down, "To be honest, Brother Ge, I just slept peacefully yesterday! Of course, this complexion is good!"

"I heard that Brother Cao, you were chasing Qin Feng for thousands of miles. Now that you have reached his territory, you are still sleeping so peacefully. Your courage is indeed extraordinary. I admire you!" said the official surnamed Ge.

"It is because I have arrived at Qin Feng that I can sleep peacefully." Cao Hui smiled and thought to himself that the complex relationship between himself and Qin Feng was, and you wouldn't understand it even if you said it.

"Are there any arrangements today?"

"No, they are afraid that they will not be able to make sense in a short period of time. I'm afraid we will have to wait here for a few more days." The official surnamed Ge smiled.

Cao Hui shook his head, "Don't underestimate them. The Taiping Army officials are extremely efficient in their work. I have seen it. There is no arrangement, which only means that Qin Feng himself has not made up his mind yet. Wait patiently!"

While speaking, a soft knock came from outside. As Cao Hui came in, the door was pushed open. Several attendants from the State Guesthouse walked in with various colors of breakfast, put the breakfast on the table, and bowed and retreated.

"Let's have dinner. Since we're fine today, we'll go to the city after eating. I've been here in the past, but I've been here and there in a hurry. I've never carefully appreciated it. This is a prosperous city built by Emperor Li Qing, who gathered the essence of the north and south. The scenery of the north and south can be seen in the city. When I came, I had already found out clearly. There are several places that I have to pay attention to!" Cao Hui smiled, picked up a bowl of porridge, and started drinking it in a sensation.

"Mr. Cao, even if I go and take a look, I have to go to Longxiang Military Camp outside the city to take a look. I can't let them cause trouble." The official surnamed Ge smiled and picked up the porridge and started drinking.

"Well, there are so many troops stationed outside the city. Long Xiang's army is very arrogant, and the guys from the Taiping Army are all very proud. After you go, tell them that we are on other people's territory now, don't make trouble, be honest." Cao Hui said lightly: "Don't think that I'm the best in the world. The people in the old death camp in the Taiping Army are all guys who are willing to do whatever they want and don't take their lives. More importantly, those people are full of tricks and are all soldiers."

"Don't worry, Lord Cao, I will restrain them."

Before a bowl of porridge was drunk, a noise suddenly came from outside. Cao Hui frowned and stood up and walked to the window.

Outside, a team of people walked towards another house under the guidance of officials from the State Guesthouse. "The Chu people are here. I just don't know who is the leader?"

The official surnamed Ge stood beside Cao Hui and said in confusion: "Strange, the Chu people came from Qin this time, and they should have arrived with the Qin people. Why do you just see them not seeing the Qin people?"

Cao Hui also shook his head and puzzled.

"Sir." A soft cry came from outside the door. The two turned around and saw a guard standing in front of the door.

"Come in, tell me, what did you find out?" Cao Hui closed the window, walked back to the table, and asked while drinking porridge.

"I have found out clearly. Last night, the two countries of Qin and Chu had already arrived at the outskirts of Yuejing. The Chu people were led by the left prime minister, and the one thousand fire phoenix troops were protected by the army. The Qin court did not send any other people, but Li Zhi came in person. The one who came with Li Zhi was a thousand heavy cavalry led by Deng Su, the border army of Qin."

"Li Zhi is here in person?" Cao Hui raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, after Li Zhi arrived in the suburbs yesterday, someone in the city took him into the city. We asked around. Li Zhi and the others were not arranged to live in the State Guesthouse, but arranged to live in the heaven and earth in the city."

"Heaven and Earth? Isn't that a brothel?" The official surnamed Ge was startled, and then chuckled: "Can the Taiping Army still want to seduce the old man Li Zhi? This old man is not in the air."

But in the laughter, he saw Cao Hui's face was a little bad, and he couldn't help but stop. "Mr. Cao, is there anything wrong?"

However, Cao Hui's face returned to normal at this moment, and he shook his head: "Nothing. It seems that Qin Feng really looked at Li Zhi differently."

"If Qin people hadn't intervened this time and stabbed Wu Jian in the back, how could Qin Feng have picked up such a big advantage?" The official surnamed Ge sneered: "Of course he has to treat Li Zhi as his benefactor."

Cao Hui looked at the other party, his eyes narrowed, but he was a little worried. This time, the Taiping Army won a great victory and overthrew the Wu Dynasty. However, in China, more people believed that the Taiping Army took advantage of it and colluded with the Qin people to achieve this result. Most officials from the court obviously did not pay enough attention to the Taiping Army. The person in front of him was a typical representative, and they didn't think about what kind of country Qin was and what kind of person Li Zhi was? If Qin Feng did not have the skills to negotiate equally with him, Li Zhi would give such a big gift in vain? No matter what Qin Feng gave Li Zhi, it at least shows that Li Zhi admitted that Qin Feng was qualified to negotiate equally with him.

Qin Feng was about to ascend the throne and become emperor. Li Zhi actually came here in person. The meaning here is very unusual. You know, twenty years ago, when the current emperor of Daqi ascends the throne, Li Zhi also invited Li Zhi, but Li Zhi didn't even have a letter to reply. That was a gift to the current emperor of Daqi.

The Taiping Army, which had not yet been officially established, now seems to be closest to Qin. However, treating Qi and Chu equally, a small accommodation arrangement clearly shows Qin Feng's attitude.

What made Cao Hui feel relieved was that the Taiping Army would not change their past policies, that is, to wander between Qi and Chu to gain the greatest benefit, which would greatly reduce the second battlefield plan of Chu. However, he was too close to Qin, but it was very likely that he was deeply influenced by Li Zhi, and the Three Kingdoms could appear at any time in the fight against Qi.

Qin Feng is an extremely smart person. Now, he will not publicly express his tendencies, but now Qi and Chu are working hard to show his tendencies.

"I wonder what gifts the Chu people brought this time? If they just think about playing the emotional card, hehe, that's not a wise move. Qin Feng remembers the blood in Anyang City clearly. Moreover, Qin Feng doesn't even blink his eyebrows if he doesn't have anything real." Cao Hui suddenly laughed.

"But we only take action to a county, and this gift is too big, right?" The official surnamed Ge said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Cao, you are close to Your Majesty and are deeply trusted by Your Majesty. This time, Your Majesty actually agreed to cede the land of a county to congratulate Qin Feng, but the people are very dissatisfied."

"What do they know?" Cao Hui glanced at the other party, almost swearing, but he endured it again and explained patiently: "Now we still occupy several counties in Yue State. Do you think the people of Chu will give up this opportunity to sow discord? The people of Yue State have no intention of regaining lost territory? What is the point of sending out a county? Only by willingly giving away children can you trap the wolf. If our Daqi can unify the world and send it out, will it not be ours in the future?"

"Just feel uncomfortable."

"What's wrong with me? I'm sending it out today to get more in the future. Forget it, don't bother about it. You go outside the city immediately, the Huofeng Army is here, and the Qin heavy cavalry is here, and it's really lively outside the city. You can restrain Long Xiang Army and it's best if you have a good time. If you make trouble, it's not a good thing for us."

"knew!"

Seeing the official Ge exiting the room, Cao Hui shook his head, "I still made a mistake. I really didn't expect that it was Li Zhi and Ma Xiangnan who came in person, which made us better."

Although Cao Hui had a high status in Qi, his weight was naturally not enough compared to the two Qin Chu. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that the gift he gave was definitely the heaviest. Although the gift was given, Qi did not have any kindness to give it.

Touching his chin, he laughed. This time, in addition to giving a county firmly to Qin Feng, he of course was also in another

The local area prepared another big gift for Qin Feng. Of course, compared with the previous and the next gift, Qin Feng would definitely be quite unhappy.

Simply put, the first gift was a congratulation, while the next gift was a mess. A chaotic Yue Kingdom was more in line with the interests of Qi Kingdom. Cao Chong first released him back to Weizhuang, but unfortunately, people like Weizhuang were not easily able to use it. Sure enough, when the grandmaster came back, he killed two people, and he returned to Chang'an with a breath. Of course, whether it was Cao Chong or Cao Hui, they did not send much hope. Their methods to make Yue Kingdom go on chaos were mainly on the other end.

The time for this gift is to be given on the day when Qin Feng ascended the throne. At that time, if you want to see Qin Feng's face, it will definitely be very exciting.

Qin Feng must be too busy to take care of himself! A powerful Taiping Army is not what Qi State wants. Keeping them going in a mess, so that Qin Feng can’t take care of his head and feet in a short period of time, and being in a hurry is the best option!

Thinking of his complacentness, Cao Hui couldn't help but chuckled. He got up and changed into a dress, and went out leisurely to see the scenery. (To be continued.)
