Chapter 457

Mi 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 Changping was actually inviting him to a banquet.

He said in the letter that he had always admired Su Xuan, but suffered from having no opportunity to contact and talk to Su Xuan. After accidentally learning that his daughter Mi 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 prepared a few cups of light wine, wanting to have a good talk with Su Xuan!

"I'm afraid it's not a good banquet!"

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

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

If he invited Su Xuan for no reason, Su Xuan might not necessarily go. But before this, he let his daughter Mi Lian appear before Su Xuan several times, which could be considered as having brushed up enough favor. He used Mi Lian as an excuse, and plus Lord Changping himself was also a high-level official in the Qin Guo, so Su Xuan would give him this face logically and emotionally. 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. Combining some recent events, he had probably guessed that he had become a thorn in Lord Changping's side, so the problem came: Lord Changping holding a banquet at this time seemed a bit strange.

That was why Su Xuan had the sentence "not a good banquet." This banquet was more likely to be similar to the Hongmen Banquet in history; it was a banquet full of crises.

So, should Su Xuan go or not?

Of course go!

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

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

"Putting the banquet place by the Wei River is because this has already left Xianyang and can barely be considered a wilderness. If you can kill me, you can directly throw my corpse into the Wei River. In that way, can the matter of disposing of the corpse be considered solved?"

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

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

In a 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 Changping held the banquet was where a pavilion was located.

When Su Xuan arrived at the place 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. It was unknown whether Lord Changping ordered people to move them here or he brought them himself.

Regarding Lord Changping, Su Xuan was not unfamiliar. On the surface, it could be considered that he had met several times. If he counted the observation of Lord Changping in the dark, he was even more familiar. I am afraid that only Lord Changping himself thought he was hiding well, not knowing that for Su Xuan and Ying Zheng, he had long been exposed.

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

Arriving under the pavilion, looking at Lord Changping, Su Xuan said lightly, and did not intend to salute the other party.

Lord Changping did not care. After all, Su Xuan was a distinguished guest of the King of Qin and a well-deserved expert outside the world. It was appropriate to have some arrogance.

Of course, he still had other thoughts in his heart. For example, since Su Xuan was an expert outside the world, wouldn't it be good to hide honestly outside the world, like the Taoist school, and not ask about world affairs? But he insisted on running over to ask about world affairs. Therefore, for the sake of the State of Chu, he could only kill Su Xuan.

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

Su Xuan arrived before Lord Changping and sat down casually.

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 Changping.

Lord Changping explained: "Mr. Su is a true 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 Guo a lot. My Qin Guo can have such a smooth situation today, and Mr. Su has made an indelible contribution."

"Not to mention anything else, just say 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 Changping did not lie. It was precisely because of that incident spreading that he knew Su Xuan's strength. After the shock, he made up his mind.

"Su Xuan just contributed a little bit of meager strength!"

Su Xuan said lightly.

Lord Changping said: "For an expert like Mr. Su, perhaps it is meager strength, but for the Qin Guo, Mr. Su's move avoided many casualties of soldiers!"

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

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

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

After drinking, Lord Changping chattered a lot. In his words, it was all a gesture of working for the country and the people, but Su Xuan knew that the country he spoke of verbally was the Qin Guo, but the country he cared about in his heart was actually the State of Chu.

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

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

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

"The Qin Guo destroying the world is to build an unprecedented great cause. If the State of Chu dares to block it, Xiong Qi is willing to lead troops to destroy the State of Chu personally!"

Su Xuan praised: "Lord Changping said such words. If the King knows, he will probably be very gratified!"

Lord Changping smiled lightly and did not say much.

By the side of the Wei River, the two pushed cups and changed lamps.

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

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

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