~8 min read 1,452 words

That day, Xiang Yan brought his eldest son, Xiang Chao, with a basket of oranges from the Huainan land of Chu to visit Lord Lord Changping Jun in Xianyang. Lord Lord Changping Jun received them warmly. Afterward, facing Xiang Yan's request, he also spoke frankly about his determination to help Chu.

After discussing with Xiang Yan how to save Chu, Xiang Yan left with Xiang Chao.

Xiang Yan originally thought they had returned to Chu.

He didn't expect to see Xiang Yan and his son again here at Su Xuan's place.

Combined with the fact that he sent people to escort Mi Hong Lian out of Xianyang, and she was intercepted by Su Xuan on the way, Lord Lord Changping Jun had the answer in his heart.

Xiang Yan and his son must have been kidnapped by Su Xuan on their way out of Xianyang.

They had never left the borders of Qin, let alone returned to Chu.

He thought the things he did were extremely hidden, but in reality, they had long since fallen into the eyes of others.

Su Xuan led Lord Lord Changping Jun here to see Xiang Yan.

This caused Lord Lord Changping Jun's heart to shake. Combined with the words Su Xuan said when he kept him in suspense earlier, the answer was actually already very obvious, but Lord Lord Changping Jun was unwilling to accept such an outcome.

He still pretended to be confused and said, "Xiang Yan, I heard that the name of the Grand General of Chu is Xiang Yan, and he indeed has a son named Xiang Chao. It's really interesting that these two people actually have the same names as Xiang Yan and his son."

Su Xuan said indifferently, "Why does Lord Lord Changping Jun think they are just namesakes, and not the people themselves?"

Lord Lord Changping Jun said proudly, "How could the Grand General of Chu risk himself to come to Qin and be captured by Mr. Su!"

Su Xuan clapped his hands and sighed, "Reasonable and well-founded, making one admire and submit!"

"Indeed, as the Grand General of Chu, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Xiang Yan to run to Qin. But Chu is about to perish, and there are treacherous officials like Li Yuan in the court. Xiang Yan is unable to support the situation alone. In order to save Chu, he can only seek another way out. Thus, he thought of someone, a child of the King of Chu who was left in Qin back then. Because of various reasons, the other party has now become a high-ranking official of Qin. If he could get the help of this person, Chu might still have hope..."

"Thus, he brought his eldest son and a basket of Huainan oranges and came to Qin like this to visit that person."

Tian Guang, who was following Lord Lord Changping Jun, listened quietly to Su Xuan telling the story. After hearing these words, his heart suddenly became heavy, just because he was very familiar with this story, and several of the people involved in the story were right here.

The person Su Xuan mentioned refers to Lord Lord Changping Jun.

Su Xuan seems to know everything.

But even if Su Xuan knew (aiee) all the secrets, some things could not be admitted, at least not now.

Lord Lord Changping Jun insisted that Xiang Yan and his son were just namesakes.

It was precisely because these things could not be admitted. As long as they were not admitted, the other party had no solid evidence and could do nothing to Lord Lord Changping Jun.

Lord Lord Changping Jun was, after all, the Left Chancellor of Qin, while Su Xuan, although valued by the King of Qin, had no official position.

"According to the story told by Mr. Su, this Xiang Yan and his son are also interesting. They came all the way from Chu, but only brought a basket of oranges. Do they think that a basket of oranges can persuade others to help?"

"I actually believe a bit that these two people are just imposters with the same names."

Tian Guang was truly a wonderful person and also a smart person. He had great tacit understanding with Lord Lord Changping Jun. In a very short time, he guessed what Lord Lord Changping Jun was thinking and began to use words to echo Lord Lord Changping Jun's previous remarks.

"If I were the Grand General of Chu, Xiang Yan, and wanted to persuade people from other states 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 object of the time. Even if it can't compare to the Kunshan treasure jade or the Pearl of Sui Hou, things like gold and silver wealth must be brought out to show sincerity."

"A mere basket of oranges, brought from Chu to Qin, probably rotted away by now!"

Su Xuan nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but this is under normal circumstances. For some people, a treasure worth a thousand gold is actually not as good as that basket of oranges from their hometown."

Tian Guang said coldly, "I don't believe 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, seeing that it was about to become a situation of swords drawn and bows bent, Lord Lord Changping Jun said coldly, "Did Mr. Su invite me here just to see these two imposters?"

He had firmly determined that the Xiang Yan and his son before him were imposters.

Su Xuan shook his head, "Of course not!"

"Besides these two, I have a few more people I am prepared to let Lord Lord Changping Jun see!"

While speaking, he led the way in front and left this room.

Lord Lord Changping Jun and Tian Guang looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

Xiang Yan and his son did not leave Qin and were captured by Su Xuan, which was beyond Lord Lord Changping Jun's expectations.

Not only because of the secret meeting between Xiang Yan and Lord Lord Changping Jun.

It was also because Xiang Yan's identity was extraordinary; he was the Grand General of Chu. Back then, the Grand General of Zhao, Li Mu, had an accident, and Zhao perished because of it. If Xiang Yan were gone, could Chu block Qin's attack?

Because now was not the time to think about these things, after Lord Lord Changping Jun's thoughts flashed by, he followed Su Xuan out of the room and went to the room next door.

Su Xuan's residence was very large, and many of the rooms were empty. At this time, they came in handy.

In the room next door, there were quite a few more people than in the previous room, six people in total.

Upon seeing these six people who were also in a coma, Tian Guang's expression changed greatly.

These six people were the six great elders of the Agricultural School.

So, the six great elders were not dead!

This could be considered good news, but after learning this news, neither Tian Guang nor Lord Lord Changping Jun could be happy.

"You should be very familiar with these six people!"

"No, I have never seen them!"

"Me neither!"

Lord Lord Changping Jun and Tian Guang's responses were unusually decisive. Even though looking at these six elders who were both teachers and friends falling into such a state made Tian Guang feel very uncomfortable, in order to help Lord 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 the six great 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 Lord Changping Jun gradually became a bit unhappy, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Su Xuan said, "Lord Lord Changping Jun, rest assured, this is the last person."

Lord Lord Changping Jun frowned, then followed Su Xuan 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 Lord Changping Jun was.

"Are you satisfied with this result?"
