Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see a figure as tall as a pine tree standing against the light. The man was dressed in a black brocade robe, with an ancient long sword hanging from his waist. His facial features were cold and resolute, and he slowly walked into the hall with the fierce pressure of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
It was Qin Yuan who came from afar!
His appearance suddenly changed the atmosphere of the entire Golden Palace.
"Pei... General Pei?!"
Someone recognized him and couldn't help but exclaimed, then shook their head violently, "No, that's not right, you are..."
"This is His Royal Highness Qin Yuan, the eldest grandson of the Emperor of our Great Qin!" Li Linyuan, who was following closely behind him, also walked in and solemnly introduced him to everyone.
In an instant, everyone in the court was shocked.
Great Qin?
The emperor's eldest grandson?
Oh my God!
this--
Everyone was collectively confused.
But they couldn't be mistaken about this face, it was clearly General Pei!
Everyone was shocked and confused, except for the Emperor Chu who sat high up at the head of the table, his face even filled with a pleased smile.
After entering the room, Qin Yuan glanced around and soon stopped at Chu Qingluan.
Three months later, he saw the face he had been thinking about day and night again, and he had a lot to say.
But now is clearly not the time.
Chu Qingluan obviously didn't expect to see Pei Yuan again.
A living Pei Yuan, all kinds of emotions surged in his heart at once.
There is gratitude, relief, and a joy of regaining what was lost.
The two of them looked at each other from a distance, as if they were the only ones left in the throne room.
Qin Yuan's eyes were filled with deep emotions, and Chu Qingluan's heart skipped a beat. She even breathed cautiously, fearing that what she saw was a dream.
“Crack!”
Chu Hong's face was tense, and his hands in his sleeves kept tightening, making crisp sounds, interrupting the two people's eye contact.
Qin Yuan withdrew his gaze from Chu Qingluan and bowed to the Emperor of Chu. "Your Majesty, I was delayed by border military duties and was unable to attend your birthday banquet. This is truly disrespectful. I would like to present you with a map of the twelve cities along the Great Qin border as an apology."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.
"A map of ten or twelve cities!" The Minister of War's beard trembled with excitement. "This is the defense map of the important border towns of the Great Qin!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Linyuan brought up a gilded box and handed it to the eunuch.
The Emperor of Chu looked at the map presented by Qin Yuan, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense: "Your Highness Qin Yuan is thoughtful. Get up quickly. Your return at this time is the best gift for me."
Amur's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but step forward: "Your Highness Qin, this is a matter between the Western Regions and Great Chu. Does Great Qin also want to interfere?"
Qin Yuan then slowly turned around, a faint sneer on his face: "The King of the Western Regions is wrong."
"The Great Chu has been kind to me, and His Majesty the Emperor of Chu has treated me like his own son or nephew. Now someone wants to force his beloved to marry me. How can I sit idly by?"
The three words "sweetheart" were like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the tranquility.
When Chu Qingluan heard these three subtle words, a blush crept up to the tips of her ears.
Amur's face darkened. "Your Highness Qin Yuan, are you openly trying to protect Great Chu? Aren't you afraid that this will spark a war between the two countries?"
Qin Yuan sneered, "The Western Regions are not worthy of being feared by the Great Qin. If you want to fight, I will fight you to the end. But you must remember that once a war breaks out, let alone rushing to the aid of the State of Chen, it will be a problem whether we can even preserve the territory of the Western Regions."
That's true.
The Qin Dynasty was the most powerful of the seven kingdoms. In his early years, the Qin Emperor was very warlike. After years of recuperation, the Qin Dynasty was now a powerful nation. It was undoubtedly the strongest nation.
Li Linyuan echoed, "Your Highness is right. Although the Qin cavalry is far away in the west, with just one order from Your Highness, they can reach the Western Regions within half a month. The King of the Western Regions should think carefully before risking the entire Western Regions in a moment of anger."
Amur looked at the eldest grandson of the Qin Emperor who suddenly appeared from the middle of the road, and then looked at the King of Chu who was sitting on the Diaoyutai above him. He felt that his breath was stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down.
The officials of the Great Chu, however, breathed a sigh of relief because of Qin Yuan's unwavering support and defense. Their backs straightened a little.
General Pei, oh no, His Highness Qin, you’ve arrived just in time!
If this continues for an hour or so tonight, the face of the Great Chu will be rubbed on the ground by a small Western Region.
Amur glanced at his ministers with an unfriendly look, and finally gritted his teeth, "Alright! I will give in today, but I will settle this account sooner or later!"
After saying that, he turned and left without even bothering to say goodbye.
Seeing Amur leaving in a panic, all the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the generals who had a good relationship with Qin Yuan came forward and looked at Qin Yuan curiously.
"Are you really General Pei? Am I dazzled?"
Someone else slapped the man on the head and said, "What are you talking about? General Pei is blessed by fate. They say that those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. That's what they mean, General Pei."
"No, now it's time to call him Your Highness Qin..."
Everyone was discussing it at once.
At this time, the Emperor of Chu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
He swept his eyes gently across the hall. "Don't guess any more, everyone. Qin Yuan is the former Pei Yuan. He was originally the eldest grandson of the Great Qin Emperor. Due to internal strife in the Great Qin, he changed his name to Qin Yuan and came to our Great Chu to gain experience. Later, when the situation in the Great Qin stabilized, he was summoned back to inherit the throne."
