At the same time, before this, he also planned a matter, preparing to use this matter to remove himself from Xianyang as an external aid for the Chu state, so as to be able to directly help the Chu state.

Of course, these were subsequent plans, and there was no need to consider them for the time being.

Before the Qin state attacked Chu, there was one person who was the biggest trouble and had to be resolved.

"` 」Hong Lian'er..."

Looking at the woman who came before him, Lord Lord Changping spoke and mentioned a matter.

On this day, during the daytime, Su Xuan stayed in the mansion.

A woman came here quietly.

The woman was not Princess Honglian, but Mi Hong Lian, whom he had met several times.

"Mr. Su!"

After seeing Su Xuan, Mi Hong Lian bowed respectfully and then stated her purpose: "My father has a letter he wants to send to Mr. Su!"

Mi Hong Lian came and left.

Su Xuan opened the letter she sent casually. After seeing the content on the letter clearly, his eyes flickered slightly.

Lord Lord Changping was actually inviting him to a banquet.

He said in the letter that he had always admired Su Xuan but had no opportunity to contact or talk to him. After accidentally learning that his daughter Mi Hong Lian had met and known Su Xuan, he used his daughter's opportunity to write this letter to Su Xuan, inviting Su Xuan to meet by the Wei River seven days later.

He had prepared a few cups of light wine and wanted to have a good talk with Su Xuan!

"I'm afraid it's a banquet without good intentions!"

Su Xuan whispered. With a casual movement, the letter in his hand burned without fire and turned into many ashes.

It had to be said that Lord Lord Changping's reason was indeed very well found.

If he invited Su Xuan for no reason, Su Xuan might not necessarily go. But before this, he had let his daughter Mi Hong Lian appear before Su Xuan several times, which had already been enough to build up favor. He used Mi Hong Lian as an excuse, and plus Lord Lord Changping himself was also a high-level figure in the Qin state, Su Xuan would give him this face for the sake of reason and sentiment. Of course, there was also a certain possibility that Su Xuan was completely unfeeling, but at least, under normal circumstances, Su Xuan had a high probability of agreeing to attend the banquet.

Su Xuan also had some self-knowledge about himself. Combined with some things that had happened recently, he had probably guessed that he had become a thorn in Lord Lord Changping's side, so the problem came: Lord Lord Changping setting a banquet at this time seemed a bit strange.

That was why Su Xuan had that sentence "a banquet without good intentions." This banquet was more likely to be similar to the Hongmen Banquet in history, a banquet full of crises.

So, should Su Xuan still go?

Of course, go!

Even if Lord Lord Changping had bad intentions, he was not afraid of Lord Lord Changping at all.

Thinking again of the banquet location mentioned by Lord Lord Changping in the letter, Su Xuan made a speculation.

"Setting the banquet place by the Wei River is because this is already outside Xianyang, barely considered a wilderness. If you can kill me, you can directly throw my corpse into the Wei River. Does that count as solving the matter of disposing of the corpse?"

"I'd like to see what kind of formation you can set up!"

Su Xuan did not make public the matter of Lord Lord Changping inviting him to a banquet. In the next few days, he still lived his life of three points and one line: cultivating himself, then guiding Ying Zheng's cultivation, and if he had time, accompanying Princess Honglian (aiee) for a stroll.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

On this day, he left Xianyang and came to the side of the Wei River.

By the side of the Wei River, there were many pavilions. The place where Lord Lord Changping set the banquet was where a pavilion was located.

When Su Xuan arrived at the place Lord Lord Changping mentioned.

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes had already been waiting in the pavilion for a long time. Besides him, on the stone table in the pavilion, wine and water were already set up. It was unknown whether Lord Lord Changping had ordered people to transport them here or if he had brought them himself.

For Lord Lord Changping, Su Xuan was not unfamiliar. On the surface, he could be considered to have met a few times. If he counted the secret observation of Lord Lord Changping, he was even more familiar. I am afraid that only Lord Lord Changping himself thought he was hiding well, not knowing that for Su Xuan and Ying Zheng, he had long been exposed.

"Lord Lord Changping must have been waiting for a long time!"

Arriving under the pavilion, looking at Lord Lord Changping, Su Xuan said lightly, without any intention of bowing to the other party.

Lord Lord Changping did not care. After all, Su Xuan was a distinguished guest of the King of Qin and was a high-ranking expert outside the world worthy of the name. It was only right to have some pride.

Of course, he still had some other thoughts in his heart. For example, since Su Xuan was a high-ranking expert outside the world, wouldn't it be better to honestly hide outside the world, like the Taoist school, and not ask about the world's affairs? But he ran over to ask about the world's affairs. Therefore, for the sake of the Chu state, he could only kill Su Xuan.

Lord Lord Changping shook his head and said: "Where, I also just arrived here not long ago."

Su Xuan came to the front of Lord Lord Changping and sat down casually.

Lord Lord Changping looked at Su Xuan and said lightly: "I actually wanted to have a good talk with Mr. Su a long time ago."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan pretended to be surprised and looked at Lord Lord Changping.

Lord Lord Changping explained: "Mr. Su is a true high-ranking expert. Since Mr. Su entered Qin, although many people do not know Mr. Su's achievements, I know that Mr. Su has helped my Qin state a lot. My Qin state can have such a smooth situation today, and Mr. Su has made great contributions."

"Not to mention anything else, just take the battle of Daliang earlier. When the news came back, I was shocked. I never thought that Mr. Su was so... amazing!"

This sentence, Lord Lord Changping did not lie. It was precisely because of that incident spreading that he knew of Su Xuan's strength, and after the shock, he made up his mind.

"Su Xuan just did a little bit of meager effort!"

Su Xuan said lightly.

Lord Lord Changping said: "For a high-ranking expert like Mr. Su, it may be a meager effort, but for the Qin state, Mr. Su's move avoided many casualties of soldiers!"

"Here, I toast to you on behalf of the King and many soldiers!"

Lord Lord Changping picked up the wine cup and toasted Su Xuan.

Su Xuan also picked up the wine cup and drank with Lord Lord Changping.

After drinking, Lord Lord Changping chattered a lot more. In his words, he was all in a posture of working for the country and the people, but Su Xuan knew that the country he spoke of on his lips was the Qin state, but the country he worked for in his heart was actually the Chu state.

This hypocritical style made Su Xuan unable to help but say to Lord Lord Changping: "After the destruction of the Wei state, only the Qi and Chu states remain among the six states east of the mountains. If I remember correctly, Lord Lord Changping, you seem to be a Chu person, and also a member of the Chu royal family, and you are a brother of the current King of Chu!"

Hearing Su Xuan's words, Lord Lord Changping's eyes condensed, but he did not ponder much and answered Su Xuan's words: "Although Xiong Qi is a Chu person, I was born in the Qin state and grew up in the Qin state. The Qin state is my true hometown!"

"As for the Chu state, I have never stayed there, and I have no feelings for it."

"Qin destroying the world is to establish an unprecedented great cause. If the Chu state dares to block it, Xiong Qi is willing to lead the army to destroy the Chu state himself!"

Su Xuan praised: "Lord Lord Changping saying such words, if the King knows, he will surely be very gratified!"

Lord Lord Changping smiled lightly and did not say much more.

By the side of the Wei River, the two people exchanged cups.

Just when they were drinking happily, suddenly someone under Lord Lord Changping came and said there was an important matter.

So, Lord Lord Changping could only apologize to Su Xuan and left here in a hurry, leaving Su Xuan alone here.

Watching Lord Lord Changping leave, Su Xuan sighed softly: "Nongjia, can't you come up with a second kind of poison?"
