What a coincidence!
It's simply a God-given fate!
Qin Muxue almost jumped off the horse, but rationally smeared her face and hid it, fearing that she would be too enthusiastic and would scare Senior Brother Lu.
After all, Senior Brother Lu has no romantic feelings for her.
Only Qin Muyu glanced at Lu Yunchu suspiciously.
Going to the city ahead to do some business?
But the city ahead has been occupied by the Southern Barbarians. It is their territory and he can't get in at all. What can he do?
"elder brother."
Qin Muxue said: "I will explore the way to Qin State for you."
Lu Yunchu raised his head and said, "Miss Qin is alone, isn't that too dangerous?"
"No problem. I know the general who guards the border of Qin State and I have a good relationship with him."
Lu Yunchu pursed his thin lips.
A general guarding the border, in his forties or fifties, old, with an untidy beard?
That's even more dangerous!
An old man like that is extremely cunning and shrewd. How could a young girl like her deal with him?
"That's what Miss Qin said, but we have to be on guard when we are in a foreign country. How about this, I will go with you."
Qin Muxue was slightly pleased:
"Brother Lu, are you willing to join me?"
"As friends, I cannot let Miss Qin take risks alone."
The light in his eyes brightened and dimmed.
Just friends...
"Aren't you supposed to do something for Master? Don't delay."
No such thing.
He's talking nonsense.
"Master, there is no rush. The interests of our country and family are at stake. We should do what is most important first."
Qin Muxue bit her lower lip, hiding her thoughts in her eyes, and looked at him eagerly.
When Senior Brother Lu said this, he was truly glorious and modest, a gentleman who could handle things on his own, handsome and elegant, unrivaled in the world...
How could such a good man not like her?
This is really the biggest drawback.
"Mu Xue?"
"Mu Xue?"
"Um?!"
Qin Muyu glared at her: "I've called you several times."
"I'm thinking about the journey and the strategy for going to Qin. Just leave it to me. There's nothing I can't handle."
If Qin Muyu wanted to go to the southern border quietly without attracting the attention of the southern barbarians, he had to pass through the territory of Qin.
Qin Muxue is willing to play as a forward.
The matter is settled.
Qin Muxue and Lu Yunchu traveled together with eight elite subordinates. They first handed in documents to the Qin border and only entered the border after receiving approval.
Qin State.
There are checkpoints everywhere in the border areas, and high city walls are built to form the boundary between Qin and the outside world. There is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and the guarding is very strict.
When entering the customs, all weapons were searched off, and they dismounted from their horses and were led by a special person:
"please."
"Please follow me."
"This way."
The camp was strictly guarded, and no movement could escape the guards' eyes. The Qin flag was planted at the highest point, fluttering in the wind.
The guard entered a large and luxurious tent and reported the news.
Lu Yunchu looked around vigilantly.
The State of Qin was a country bordering both the Great Chu and the Southern Barbarians. It was a rich and powerful country, but it was not warlike. It had been guarding its own territory for many years. It did not take the initiative to provoke war, but it was not afraid of war either.
This is a country with very strict rules.
"Xiaoxue is here?"
Faintly, a deep and hearty male voice was heard coming from the tent:
"Are you really coming?"
After two or three breaths, a man about twenty-four or twenty-five years old strode towards them. The man had a calm brow, a flamboyant appearance, and wheat-colored skin, which showed the atmosphere of someone who had guarded the border for many years. He was wearing a black robe, and when he walked towards them, his posture was like a diving eagle.
Lu Yunchu turned his head and saw the person coming, his eyes darkened slightly.
Is this the Qin State’s border guard general?
I thought he was an old man in his forties or fifties...
Nie Yan had a big smile on his face and opened his arms:
"Xue-Xue!"
"Brother Nie!"
Qin Muxue saw him, walked quickly forward, and hugged him tightly.
Lu Yunchu’s expression grew gloomier and gloomier.
Do they have a good relationship?
"I received your letter three days ago. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"I'm here with a mission, so I can't be as easygoing as usual. Otherwise, I'll definitely treat Brother Nie to a round of drinks."
Nie Yan: "Don't worry, there is still a long way to go."
Since there is something important, let’s talk about the important things first.
Lu Yunchu pursed his lips.
Don't worry, there is a long way to go.
Nie Yan immediately gave orders to prepare a banquet to entertain the guests and invited them into the tent. Only then did he see Lu Yunchu: "Who is this..."
"This is my Senior Brother Lu."
"It's Mr. Lu, please come in!"
Qin Muxue thanked him, walked up to Lu Yunchu, and whispered, "Senior Brother Lu, this is the general guarding the border of Qin. I met him by chance when he came to visit Da Chu three years ago."
Lu Yunchu nodded calmly: "Yes."
As if afraid that he might misunderstand, he added:
"We have always called each other brother and sister."
"Um."
Brother Nie, Sister Xue.
At the beginning, she clearly said that she liked him, and she even took advantage of him and had his body, but in the end she turned around and left Jiangnan and walked away.
"He's already married."
"Um."
Qin Muxue said several sentences in a row, but seeing that his reaction remained calm, she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart.
Why is she saying this?
He wouldn't care at all.
That’s all!
After entering the tent, soldiers came in one after another, bringing wine and food, lighting a bonfire, and entertaining the guests with singing and dancing.
Qin Muxue explained his purpose and hoped to borrow a passage from Qin State to go around to southern Xinjiang.
After hearing this, Nie Yan paused holding the wine glass and said:
"My Qin State has never been fond of participating in wars. If the southern barbarians knew that my Qin State had asked your Great Chu for permission to pass through, they would mistakenly think that my country had intervened in the war, which would probably cause unnecessary trouble."
Qin Muxue stood up and said:
"I have certainly considered Brother Nie's concerns. Please rest assured that I am only passing through and will not be involved in anything else."
Nie Yan hesitated:
"Xiaoxue, I'm afraid I'll have to report this to the emperor."
"You don't know, ever since our emperor followed the devil and insisted on making a man the queen despite the opposition of the whole court, the foundation of the court has been unstable. If he is involved in the war again, it will only disrupt the internal affairs of our court."
Qin Muxue frowned slowly.
this……
She didn't know much about state affairs or military affairs, and just wanted to use their friendship to do something convenient, but she didn't realize there were so many considerations involved.
She hadn't thought it through.
Sitting next to him, Lu Yunchu spoke calmly:
"Our country wants to borrow the road, and Qin does not want to cause a war. How about a deal? Great Chu promises to give Qin a price. As long as the negotiation is successful, Qin will be doing a deal."
Qin Muxue's eyes lit up.
right!
Do business.
The Great Chu spent money and the Qin State borrowed the road. One gave money and the other gave way.
"Mr. Lu, what a good idea!" Nie Yan slapped the table and laughed, and the deal was settled.
"elder brother!"
At this time, a slender woman trotted in from outside the tent:
"Brother, I heard that there are guests coming, is it true?"
Nie Yan waved, "Sangsang, come here, let me introduce you, this is Sister Qin Muxue, and this is Master Lu."
"Mr. Lu seems to be a steady and reliable person. Mr. Lu, let me introduce my sister Nie Sang to you."
After hearing these words, the two of them clenched their wine glasses tightly.
Qin Muxue's eyes darkened.
Introduce it to Senior Brother Lu?
This girl Niesang looks so well-behaved, with fair skin and a rosy face. She is as lively and cute as a rabbit in the woods.
Could it be that Senior Brother Lu likes this?
Lu Yunchu clenched the wine glass so tightly that he almost overturned the table.
Who wants your sister?
Um?
Who wants your sister?
