Following Chun Shenjun's invitation, Thief Sheng and Gong Huorong swaggered all the way to Chun Shenjun's mansion in Chun Shenjun's car. After the two of them heard the coachman's order, "Shh, we've arrived. Please get off the carriage." The two of them lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.
The mansion in front of them had a red wall and green tiles, and was carved with gold. There were also two bronze masters at the entrance, and there were fake mountains inside the hall with flowers and grass everywhere. What kind of mansion was this, it was even more grand than the palace in Chu.
"Oh? This spring or something like that actually has such a huge property. Military Advisor, look. Even a floor tile is a high-quality marble." When he saw this scene, he was so shocked that he cried out to Gongsheng Rong.
"Hehe, you are indeed worthy to be one of the Four Noble Lords of the Battle Country. The King of Pingyuan of Zhao, the Lord of the Mausoleum of Wei Country, the Emperor of Meng Country, and the Chun Shenjun of Chu." Upon seeing this scene, and hearing those words, Gong Zhuang Rong smiled as she muttered to herself.
"What?" What kind of spring could be called a gentleman alongside my master, the Mausoleum of Books? "Compared to the simple and economical master of my family back then, this mansion of his is too extravagant." Upon hearing Gong Zhuang Rong's words, Thief Sheng was immediately dissatisfied with the contrast between Xinling and Chunshen's residence.
"The reason why the four noblemen of the Warring States were able to travel together was not because of their daily life, but because of the fact that each of them was very polite and had recruited thousands of hanger-ons. That is why they are so famous. Of course, compared to the other three, the Master of the Mausoleum obviously treated his hanger-ons much better, and ate and lived with them as if they were his own. " Upon seeing that Thief Sheng was unhappy, Gong Huorong tried to comfort him with good words.
"In my opinion, that's true. Such a luxurious master is definitely not too virtuous or virtuous. However, I'm guessing that he has the qualifications to be so extravagant. Even the Emperor of Chu is being so courteous to him today." After hearing what Gongsheng Rong said, his mind became much more balanced. However, he still had some questions.
"Senior, do you know that the reason why this Chun Shenjun is respected by King Chuchu is because Chun Shenjun not only saved Lord Chu's life, he also helped him." Upon hearing this question, Gong Zhuang Rong spoke again.
"Oh?" Viridescent obviously didn't understand the reason behind this, he immediately asked Gong En Rong, "What do you mean by that?"
"Back then, the Qin Nation used Bai Qi to destroy the Chu Country and took the Twelve Cities of the Chu Country by force. King Chu Xiang was greatly shocked and ordered his son, Xiong Quan, to be taken hostage in the Qin Nation. When Prince Chu Yi was gravely ill, King Qinguang refused to allow Xiong Quan to return to his throne. Fortunately, Chun Shenjun had gone to the Kingdom of Qin in person, and had secretly returned Xiong Quan to his carriage driver's clothes. Only then did he successfully ascend to the throne, becoming the current King of Chu. Otherwise, this Xiong Quan would most likely still be imprisoned in Xianyang by the Qin Nation. " Gongsheng Rong explained to Thief in a neither fast nor slow manner.
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder Lord Chu listened to everything Chun Shenjun said and kept praising him." After hearing this, Thief Sheng finally understood the reason as he came to a sudden realization.
"Honored envoys, please follow me to the inner hall for a rest. Lord Chun Shen has just washed up for a moment, then he will personally come to greet the two of you." Just as the two of them were speaking to each other, a servant at the door suddenly spoke.
After hearing the attendant's words, Thief Sheng and Gong Zhuang Rong had no choice but to follow the attendant into the inner chamber.
When both of them were seated, the waiter politely said to them, "Please wait here for a moment with tea. Lord Chun Shen will be here soon."
"Thank you, little brother. Then little brother, go back to your work." "Thank you very much," Gongsheng Rong thanked the servant.
"Then, I won't disturb the two of you." After saying this, the servant bowed towards the two of them, and then he left.
After the servant left, Viridescent opened his mouth again and bowed to Gongsheng Rong, "Oh right, we still have to thank the Military Advisor for his efforts in successfully retreating from the great hall of Chu."
"Senior Thief, what are you trying to do?" How could Gong Huorong still have the face to kneel when she saw Thief Sheng. She hurriedly said, "Senior, please get up."
"Hey, Military Advisor, you'd better not decline. You should accept my respect!" Not only did Thief Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, not get up, but he kowtowed to Gong Huorong in detail.
Then he got up and said, "Earlier, when Brother Ji agreed with me and insisted that you be my advisor and that I listen to everything you say, I would rather not do it. If it wasn't for the fact that you used a voice transmission to refute the words of the Chu officials, I'm afraid that not only would I, Ji Chengfeng, lose all face today, I would also lose all face to the brothers in Chu. "
"Hur hur, now you know that this job will not be easy, right?" When Gong Huorong saw that he didn't have his usual mischievous smile, but instead had a face full of regret, she intentionally said something to tease him.
"Advisor, stop laughing at me. Next time, I, Thief Sheng, will never show off in front of my son. I'm going to take on such a troublesome job." Seeing that Gong Zhuang Rong had made such a joke out of it, Thief Jin shook his head and shouted, "Bitter!"
However, just as he shook his head and yelled out 'suffering', he suddenly changed his expression from a frown to a laughing face, as if he was extremely pleased with himself, "However, today in the Chu Country's imperial court, for a hundred officials' faces to be so red with ridicule, it seems that you are not able to say anything at all. Ha ha, seeing that the dignified Lord Chu and his officials were able to see through me like this, it seems like my promotion wasn't in vain this time. "
Gongsheng Rong looked at the smug look on his face, then threw a spoonful of cold water at him and said, "Don't be too happy, Senior, we may not be able to fully consider the previous contestants, but this guy in front of us can be considered to be a truly troublesome opponent."
When Thief Sheng heard these words, he had a smug look on his face. However, it quickly changed into a look of worry and he asked Gong Zhuang Rong: "Huh? Was the troublesome person mentioned by the strategist Chun Shenjun? "
Back then, the Qin Nation united Wei and Zhao Fa Chu, and when the armies of the three nations arrived at the city, the Chu Country was already in a precarious situation. It was this Chun Shenjun who, with only his weak tongue, persuaded King Qinguang to appoint Xiong Quan as his hostage and requested for a war of attrition. Thus, this Chun Shenjun is not someone that is easy to deal with. " It seemed that Gongsheng Rong was prepared to deal with Chun Shenjun, so she told him everything.
When that Thief Sheng heard this, he immediately became anxious: "What are we going to do over there?" A moment later, he raised his head and looked at Gong Zhuang Rong, and then said seriously to Gong Zhuang Rong: "How about this, Military Advisor? How about you help me reply to that Chun Shenjun later?"
"How can this be? Senior Thief's current identity is that of Young Master Jing, how can you let a little girl like me impersonate you? " "Perhaps we can do the same thing again. In a while, I will still use the sound transmission to send a message to senior, but senior will still be able to answer Chun Shenjun with his own words."
"Whatever, whatever. It seems like we can only do that for now." Seeing that Gongsheng Rong didn't want to go in person, he could only droop his head and mutter dejectedly.
"What made you two envoys do this?" Just as Thief Sheng was speaking, someone suddenly laughed heartily and slowly stepped through the door.
After hearing that person's voice, Thief Sheng and Gong Zhuang Rong looked over to see that the person who had pushed open the door was none other than the Chun Shenjun Huang who they had been discussing about for a long time.
Oh, it's nothing important, but just now, my lord, the head envoy, was unable to endure the thirst, and did not see someone coming to attend to him. So, this servant decided to first take care of the matter, and then let my master pour some water from this jug before explaining the details to Lord Chun Shen. At this time, when Gongsheng Rong heard Chun Shen's question, she quickly poured a cup of tea and passed it to him.
"Oh, that's right. This little servant of mine is quite capable, haha." Then, he raised his teacup and drained it in one gulp.
