    Qu Jin looked serious and said slowly: "The identity of Xiong Yuanxiang is not clear at the moment, but as the only great master of Chu State, it is not an exaggeration to call him the pillar of the country in Chu State."

    "So I think it's totally okay to send a mission to Chu to ask for compensation. Whether it's food, money, or even weapons and armor, you can ask for it."

    "Of course, from the humble point of view, the most important thing is the need for a group of shipbuilding craftsmen. As for the Chu State, because the Yangtze River flows through it and there are lakes in its territory, the Chu State has always wanted to invade Yangzhou, and its shipbuilding technology is very powerful."

    "This time, we are asking for a group of craftsmen so that we can build ships. After all, at the moment, once we have enough warships on the Qi side, it will be very helpful for us to start a war with Yangzhou later."

    Qu Jin is quite clear about the situation in Chu.  Because it is clear, the terms formulated are more targeted.

    Shipbuilding technology is the key to Chu State.

    Wang Qi nodded after hearing this.

    Craftsmen are a must.

    For Wang Qi, the warships used to attack Yangzhou and even deal with Chu were not bad, and the demand was not particularly large.  What Wang Qi was considering involved the Japanese state, the Hercynian Empire in the far west, and other foreign countries.

    To reach these places, you need warships.

    Without warships, everything would be difficult.

    Having shipbuilding craftsmen is the best, as it is conducive to long-term planning and layout.

    Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "This condition alone is far from enough. Xiong Yuanxiang is a master at the Grand Master level. His vision and strength are extraordinary. The Chu State will definitely be reluctant to part with him. Of course, today's Xiong Yuanxiang has his hand tendons and limbs broken by me.  He has a hamstring, and he is old and can no longer pose a threat. You can let this person go in exchange for a lot of benefits from the Chu State."

    Originally, Wang Qi was going to take Xiong Yuanxiang into custody.  Now that he heard Qu Jin's words, Wang Qi thought he could make some plans.  Regardless of what happens to the Chu State, the most fundamental thing is to first seize the benefits from the Chu State.

    As for the Chu State seeking revenge and going to war, Wang Qi was not afraid at all.

    When Qu Jin heard what Wang Qi said, he immediately said: "I am willing to go to Chu State to be responsible for this negotiation."

    "You are not suitable!"

    Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Your task now is to govern the place and govern Lujiang County well. This matter is related to the key of Qi State in Yangzhou."

    Qu Jin¡¯s strategy is good, but now Qu Jin holds an important position and cannot leave.  Otherwise, after Qu Jin left, there would be no one to govern Lujiang County, which would easily lead to local chaos.

    Qu Jin asked: "Does Your Highness have a suitable candidate?"

    Wang Qi said: "Not yet. You have been in Lujiang County and are familiar with the situation here. Do you have any recommendations for candidates for the envoy?"

    Qu Jin said: "As for the candidate for the envoy, there is indeed one in the humble position. It's just that this person has a rather unruly temperament and his words are extremely harsh. It may be difficult to ask him to come out to do things."

    Wang Qi said: "Where is the person?"

    Qu Jin said: "There is a man in the city. His name is Yuan Cang. He has learned a lot of things, including astronomy, geography, famous schools, Legalists, Confucianism and other theories. It's just that he has an upright temperament and doesn't care about it.  When you put it in your eyes, your mouth is even more cunning."

    "Even though he is talented, he has never been an official. In fact, I have gone to recruit him several times on behalf of Lord Lu. But every time, he said that Lord Lu is just a family dog ??and not worthy of his service."

    "Look, Mr. Lu wants to recruit him and give him a chance."

    "But Yuan Cang said that Mr. Lu is a family dog ??and is not worthy of service. In this case, I did not reply. I only said that Yuan Cang was unwilling to serve as an official."

    Qu Jin mentioned Yuan Cang with some regret.

    When it comes to ability, Yuan Cang is stronger than him, but his conduct and work are somewhat inferior.

    Wang Qi smiled and said: "Talents all have their own tempers, it's no big deal. You lead the way, I'll go meet this Yuan Cang first. If he is really talented, it doesn't matter if he has a temper."

    "yes!"

    Qu Jin agreed and took Wang Qi to get up and leave.

    After leaving the military camp, we headed east of the city.

    The carriage came to a relatively remote place in the east of the city and came to the door of a relatively dilapidated house.  Qu Jin immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door creaked open, and a neatly dressed middle-aged man stood up.

    The middle-aged man is Yuan Cang.

    After he saw Qu Jin, he frownedp; Looking forward to Wang Qi¡¯s answer.

    Wang Qi smiled softly and said: "As long as Mr. Yuan's words are meaningful and not nonsense, I will support you. On the contrary, if it is you who wantonly slanders and deliberately criticizes, then it is your problem, and I am the king.  I¡¯m going to deal with you.¡±

    "Furthermore, in the imperial court, there is a need for officials to give advice. Your Majesty's nature is that you are a natural Yushitai official. Under our rule in Qi, there has never been a Yushitai, because there is a lack of suitable people."

    Wang Qi said: "Mr. Yuan, are you willing to give in?"

    Yuan Cang said: "I am willing to serve His Highness."

    He is extremely confident in his talents and knowledge, and most people are not impressed by him.  But Wang Qi was different. When it came to talents, martial arts, family background, etc., he was top-notch in everything.

    Such a person is his wise master, Yuan Cang.

    Yuan Cang is naturally happy to be recruited by Wang Qi.

    Wang Qidao: "Now that we invite Mr. Yuan to serve as an official, we need to determine the chief official of the Yushitai. But at the moment, there is another important thing that requires Mr. Yuan to complete. After all, I went to Lujiang County and there is no suitable counselor around me."

    Yuan Cang said: "King Qi, please speak."

    Wang Qi said directly: "The great master of Chu State, Xiong Yuanxiang, came to assassinate me, but he was captured alive by me. Now that I have captured Xiong Yuanxiang, I need an envoy to go to Chu State to extort money and ask for benefits. As long as Chu State gives  The good thing is that I can release Xiong Yuanxiang. Otherwise, Xiong Yuanxiang can only die in my hands."

    Yuan Cang is not a martial artist, but he knows how powerful a martial artist is, and he also knows how powerful masters at the master level are.  What's more, it is extremely rare to be a great master.

    Yuan Cang said: "What are the conditions for King Qi's general direction?"

    Wang Qi said: "I authorize you to take full responsibility for food, weapons, armor and money, and it is up to you to decide. The most important thing is to get a group of shipbuilding craftsmen from Chu State. The number should be at least a hundred. Conditions  It's that simple, the rest depends on Mr. Yuan's ability and how he can blackmail the Chu State."

    After Yuan Cang heard this, he thought for a while and said: "To use Xiong Yuanxiang to negotiate, information about a great master is obviously not enough. I also need more information to ensure that I know Xiong Yuanxiang's identity. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you know the identity of Xiong Yuanxiang."  , Only then can real negotiations be carried out without failure.¡±

    Wang Qi nodded and said: "I don't have any more news about Yuan Cang for the time being. The only thing I know is that fifteen years ago, the Zhou army came to Chu. It was Xiong Yuanxiang who took action and retreated the Zhou army with one man's power.  , to protect the safety of Chu State. More information requires further investigation. "

    Yuan Cang said: "There is still some distance from Lujiang to Xiangyang. Please arrange for someone to investigate. It is enough to give me the news before I arrive."

    Wang Qidao: "No problem."

    Yuan Cang said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the task. If I don't complete the task, how can I serve Your Highness?"

    Wang Qi said: "Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yuan. I will arrange people immediately to protect Mr. Yuan."

    "No need!"

    Yuan Cang shook his head and said: "I am going to the Chu State. Although I am not a warrior, I am not a person without the strength to restrain a chicken. There will be no problem in going there this time."

    Wang Qi said: "Mr. Yuan does not need someone to protect him, but he still needs someone to contact him. Therefore, someone still needs to be by Mr. Yuan's side so that he can contact him."

    When Yuan Cang heard this, he stopped talking and agreed to Wang Qi's arrangement.

    Wang Qi did not stay long and said: "Mr. Yuan, I will leave the matter to you. I am in Shu County, waiting for your good news."

    Yuan Cang said: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations."

    Wang Qi took Qu Jin and left directly.

    Yuan Cang looked at Wang Qi's leaving figure with a hint of expectation on his face.  It's not that he never served as an official, he just felt that everyone in the world was drunk and I was alone. He couldn't stand the way of the world. Even though Qu Jin invited Lu Kang several times, Yuan Cang never became an official.

    Yuan Cang knew the news about Wang Qi, so Wang Qi came to recruit him, and he was willing to serve as an official.

    This is his chance.

    Yuan Cang must grasp it.

    Yuan Cang tidied up and after getting ready, he waited at his house.  When the escort arranged by Wang Qi arrived, the group set off to leave Shu County, go south to Xunyang County, then go through Xunyang County into the Chu Kingdom, and finally go to Xiangyang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
