Chapter 294
That day, Xiang Yan brought his eldest son, Xiang Chao, and a basket of oranges from the Huainan area of the Chu state to Xianyang to visit Lord Changping Jun. Lord Changping Jun received them warmly, and later, facing Xiang Yan's request, he also spoke frankly about his determination to help the Chu state.
After discussing with Xiang Yan how to save the Chu state, Xiang Yan left with Xiang Chao.
Xiang Yan thought they had already returned to the Chu state.
He did not expect to see Xiang Yan and his son again here at Su Xuan's place.
Combined with the incident where he sent people to escort Mi Hong Lian away from Xianyang, and she was hijacked by Su Xuan on the way, Lord Changping Jun had the answer in his heart.
Xiang Yan and his son must have been hijacked by Su Xuan on the way to leave Xianyang.
They had never left the territory of the Qin state, let alone returned to the Chu state.
He thought that what he had done was extremely secretive, but in fact, it had long been in the eyes of others.
Su Xuan led Lord Changping Jun here to see Xiang Yan.
This made Lord Changping Jun's heart shake. Combined with the words Su Xuan said when he was selling the secret earlier, the answer was actually already very obvious, but Lord Changping Jun was unwilling to accept such a result.
He still pretended to be confused and said, "Xiang Yan, I heard that the name of the Great General of the Chu state is Xiang Yan, and he does have a son named Xiang Chao. It is really interesting that these two people have the same names as Xiang Yan and his son."
Su Xuan said calmly, "Why does Lord Changping Jun think they are just namesakes, and not the people themselves?"
Lord Changping Jun said proudly, "How could the Great General of the Chu state risk danger alone, come to the Qin state, and be captured by Mr. Su!"
Su Xuan clapped his hands and sighed, "Reasonable and well-founded, making people happy and submissive!"
"Indeed, Xiang Yan is the Great General of the Chu state. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to run to the Qin state. But the Chu state is about to perish, and there are treacherous people like Li Qu Yuan in the court. Xiang Yan is alone and helpless. In order to save the Chu state, he can only find another way out. So, he thought of someone, a child left in the Qin state by the King of Chu back then. Because of various reasons, the other party has now become a high-level official in the Qin state. If he can get the help of this person, the Chu state might still have hope…"
"So, he brought his eldest son, and a basket of oranges from Huainan, and came to the Qin state like this, and visited that person."
Tian Guang, who followed Lord Changping Jun, listened quietly to Su Xuan telling the story. After hearing these words, his mood became heavy, just because he was very familiar with the story Su Xuan told, and several of the people involved in the story were right here.
The person Su Xuan mentioned refers to Lord Changping Jun.
Su Xuan seemed to know everything.
But even if Su Xuan knew (aiee) all the secrets, some things could not be admitted, at least not now.
Lord Changping Jun insisted that Xiang Yan and his son were just namesakes.
It was because he could not admit these things. As long as he did not admit it, the other party had no solid evidence and could not do anything to Lord Changping Jun.
Lord Changping Jun was, after all, the Left Prime Minister of the Qin state, and conversely, Su Xuan, although valued by the King of Qin, had no official position.
"According to the story told by Mr. Su, these Xiang Yan and his son are also interesting. They came from the Chu state from thousands of miles away, but only brought a basket of oranges. Do they think that a basket of oranges can persuade others to help?"
"I am a bit inclined to believe that these two are just impostors with the same names."
Tian Guang was truly a wonderful person and a smart person. He had a great tacit understanding with Lord Changping Jun. In a very short time, he guessed what Lord Changping Jun was thinking and began to use words to echo Lord Changping Jun's previous remarks.
"If I were the Great General of the Chu state, Xiang Yan, and wanted to persuade people from other countries to help me do things, I would at least have to show enough sincerity."
Su Xuan looked at Tian Guang, "What do you think is sincerity?"
Tian Guang said truthfully, "Not to mention anything else, at least it must be a rare thing in the world. Even if it is not comparable to the Kunshan treasure jade or the Pearl of Marquis Sui, things like gold, silver, and wealth must be taken out to show sincerity."
"A mere basket of oranges, brought from the Chu state to the Qin state, I'm afraid it's already rotten!"
Su Xuan nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but this is under normal circumstances. For some people, the treasures of a thousand gold are actually not as good as that basket of oranges from their hometown."
Tian Guang said coldly, "I don't believe that there is such a person in this world."
Su Xuan said, "Whether you believe it or not is actually not important."
Listening to the conversation between Su Xuan and Tian Guang, and seeing that it was about to become a tense situation, Lord Changping Jun said coldly, "Mr. Su invited me here just to see these two impostors?"
He had firmly decided that the Xiang Yan and his son in front of him were impostors.
Su Xuan shook his head, "Of course not!"
"Besides these two, I have a few more people I am prepared to let Lord Changping Jun see!"
While speaking, he led the way in front and left the room.
Lord Changping Jun and Tian Guang looked at each other, and both saw heaviness in each other's eyes.
Xiang Yan and his son did not leave the Qin state and were captured by Su Xuan, which was beyond Lord Changping Jun's expectation.
Not only because of Xiang Yan's secret meeting with Lord Changping Jun.
It was also because Xiang Yan's status was extraordinary; he was the Great General of the Chu state. Back then, the Great General of the Zhao state, Li Mu, had an accident, and the Zhao state was destroyed because of it. If Xiang Yan was gone, could the Chu state block the attack of the Qin state?
Because now was not the time to think about these things, after Lord Changping Jun and his companion's thoughts flickered, they followed Su Xuan and left the room, going to the room next door.
Su Xuan's residence was very large, and many of the rooms were empty. At this time, it came in handy.
In the room next door, there were many more people than in the previous room, a total of six people.
Seeing these six people who were also in a coma, Tian Guang's face changed greatly.
These six people were exactly the Six Elders of the Nongjia.
So, the Six Elders were not dead!
This was good news, but after learning this news, neither Tian Guang nor Lord Changping Jun could be happy.
"You should be very familiar with these six people!"
"No, I have never seen them!"
"Me too!"
Lord Changping Jun and Tian Guang's response was extremely decisive. Even though Tian Guang felt very uncomfortable looking at the six elders who were like teachers and friends ending up in such a situation, in order to help Lord Changping Jun get out of the current predicament, he still denied knowing these six people as before.
At the same time, Tian Guang also secretly made up his mind.
Since he knew that the Six Elders were not dead, after getting out of the predicament today, he must find a way to save them.
"Since you don't know them, then forget it. Let's go see other people!"
Su Xuan sighed.
Lord Changping Jun gradually became a bit unhappy, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Su Xuan said, "Lord Changping Jun, don't worry, this is the last person."
Lord Changping Jun frowned, followed Su Xuan, went to another room, and saw the last person.
Just as he stepped into the room, a familiar figure stood in the room. The first sentence after seeing Lord Changping Jun was.
"Are you satisfied with this result?"
