Wu Zixu felt a little embarrassed, especially in front of Mi Ya.
"Master, who's Yan Ruyu?" Mi Ya asked curiously, her clear eyes filled with worry. If Yuheng fell in love with someone else, what would happen to her in the future?
"Haha, silly girl, Yan Ruyu is just a nickname, but people in your era don't know either. It only spread later.”
"Brother Yu, you're wrong. Aren't you from this era?”Wu Zixu sneered. He finally caught some of Yuheng's mistakes.
"Hehe, good. Brother Wu, you're ruthless. Let's see how you'll be the first to break into the Chu royal palace tomorrow. It's not easy to enter, but if you can walk out, it'll be even harder. Haha, the women inside won't let you off easily.”Yu Heng laughed loudly.
After a round of teasing, everyone returned to their respective tents and prepared to attack the city according to their original plan.
Although war wasn't what he wanted, there were some conflicts that couldn't be resolved. Thus, war was the only way to resolve them. Today, the envoy of Chu was still negotiating with a high and mighty attitude. He was simply an idiot. He should know the current situation. Chu Duying was already under the control of the Wu-Chu alliance army.
In the middle of the night, everyone was preparing the siege weapons outside the tent. The preparations were in full swing. Suddenly, a figure flashed by. Mi Ya was very alert. She was holding a sword and was about to go and check. However, he saw his bodyguard walk in and report,"Reporting to Lord Yu, there is a self-proclaimed envoy of Chu, Wang Meng, outside the tent.”
"Hehe, looks like you know fear and have come to me.”Yu Heng didn't invite him because this fat pig wasn't worthy of the word " please ".
Not long after, two personal guards escorted Wang Meng in. When she saw Yu Heng, she knelt on the ground with a plop and cried,"Lord Yu, you must save me! If you don't save me, I will die.”Tears rolled down her cheeks like a girl.
"Uh, no, Lord Wang, what are you doing? According to what you said today, I should be the one kneeling and begging for mercy. How could it be you?”
"Lord Yu, that was all because I had a foul mouth and was a cheap person.”Wang Meng's forehead was covered in sweat, but he still had a little hope in his heart.
"Alright, cut the crap. What's the matter? If it's just an apology, then there's no need. I don't hate you.”Yu Heng was a little impatient. He could not figure out what this King Chu was playing at. A delaying tactic? He didn't seem to have any soldiers to mobilize. Or do you want to make a deal with the Wu Kingdom?
"Lord Yu, Great King, Great King asked me to pass a message to you. As long as you help him quell the rebellion and keep the throne, everything can be discussed.”Wang Meng stuttered nervously.
"Is that so? Is everything negotiable?"
Yu Heng thought that this King Chu seemed to know his worth. At the last moment, he began to lower his status to find a way out for him, but it seemed to be a little too late.
"Yes, if Lord Yu has any requests, feel free to ask.”Wang Meng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that after the incident during the day, he had offended a powerful official of the Wu Kingdom. There was no chance of him surviving tonight.
"What if I only want your life?"
"Ah, Lord Yu, please don't. Spare this lowly one's life. It was all my fault in the past.”Wang Meng began to speak incoherently, thinking that Yu Heng was serious with him and was about to slap his own mouth.
"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you. Lord Wang misunderstood. Let's talk about serious matters.”Yu Heng stopped the other party and did not let the slap hit his face. Perhaps Wang Meng was also forced by King Chu to be anxious and had no choice but to thicken his skin and come over.
"Alright, alright, alright. Please speak, Lord Yu."
"We only have one request, and that is for King Chu to abdicate and establish a new ruler to deal with the treacherous officials.”
Yu Heng understood that King Chu did not intend to abdicate. It was also for this reason that he sent people to find him late at night. He could talk about other things. However, from Yuheng's perspective, King Chu's abdication was the key.
"Lord Yu, please make an exception. King Chu will not forget you.”Wang Meng tempted him, but he did not know that this move was not effective on Yu Heng.
"Go back and report to King Chu first. We won't talk about it after daybreak. We'll meet on the battlefield directly.”After Yu Heng finished speaking, he had his personal guards send Wang Meng directly to the entrance of Ying City.
In the King of Chu's palace, the King of Chu and his ministers were panicking. Two beautiful concubines sat on either side of him, but the palace was filled with sadness, let alone the morale of the enemy.
They did not sleep all night. The entire Chu State was immersed in fear. Many of them blamed Xiang Rong for colluding with foreign enemies and destroying the Great Wall. It was shameful and hateful.
However, King Chu had placed all his hopes on Wang Meng, hoping that he would bring back some good news from the enemy camp.
"Great King, Great King." Wang Meng trotted in with a clang and fell to his knees in front of the hall.
"Wang Qing, how is the situation? Tell me quickly." Lord Chu asked anxiously.
"Wu Country's Yu Heng is too ungrateful.”Wang Meng had yet to say it, but his heart was filled with resentment towards Yu Heng. In order to reduce his guilt for not being able to make an envoy, he kept talking bad about Yu Heng.
"What exactly is going on? There's always a result for good or bad. Wang Qing, tell me quickly.”Lord Chu was almost pleading, and his previous dignity was swept away.
"Yu Heng insisted that the king abdicate and punish the treacherous officials. That's not putting the king in his eyes. He even scolded all the civil and military officials of the Chu Country.”Wang Meng did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
When Lord Chu heard this, he was so frightened that he fainted in the arms of the two concubines beside him.
He slowly recovered from his shock under the treatment of the imperial physician.
"Great King, what should we do? At daybreak, their group of rebels would attack the capital.”The ministers of the King of Chu were all gathered around the bed, waiting for the King of Chu's orders. However, some of them no longer held much hope. As long as the Wu army and Xiang Rong could spare them, who cared if they were the King of Chu or not? Wouldn't it be the same if it was anyone else?
"Kaicheng surrenders. Retreat, retreat, abdicate.”Lord Chu said those two words in despair and reluctance. He sighed deeply. After all, there was a huge difference in strength now. If they fought, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. It might even attract the other party's revenge.
"Your Majesty, I'll go prepare now.”Wang Meng led his ministers out of the main hall in a submissive manner, but in his heart, he was thinking about where to escape.
For a time, the Ying Capital welcomed a large number of soldiers who were ready to attack the city at daybreak. However, when they arrived at the city gates with high morale, they found that the gates of the Chu Capital were wide open. The king of Chu looked disappointed and led his officials out to meet him in the midst of the mournful cries.
According to the agreement, Xiang Rong, the King of Wu, and Yu Heng went out and began to accept the surrender of the King of Chu under the protection of the guards. Wu Zixu, on the other hand, looked around, looking for a moment of interest in the beauty of the crowd.
