Lingguo has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant scenery, and is an absolutely fertile place.

There are many literati here, and there are countless talented people. The people are simple, the women are delicate, and the men are polite. This is a sharp contrast with the bitter and cold Qin.

On this day's court hall.

"I, please see the king, my king Wannian—"

The ministers knelt down and the King of Spirit raised his hand slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "All the ministers are calm."

"Thank you--" People stood up one after another, and then a middle-aged civil servant stood up. He first bowed to the Spirit King, gave a deep salute, and then said:

"I wonder if the king heard that the Qin Lord was about to get married."

"I have heard of this matter a little, what do you want to say, my dear friend?" said the Ling King.

The officials who left the list were named Cheng Ping. Although they were not in the prefecture, they were among the top talents in the Ling Kingdom. They were mostly known for their ingenuity and decisiveness, meticulous and resourceful.

King Ling once called him: Jingwei's talent and Wangzuo's minister.

It is not difficult to see the level of Cheng Ping who can be evaluated by the king in this way.

He was in his early thirties, dressed in a standard civil servant, had excellent beard decoration, ordinary appearance, and thin.

When the King of Spirit asked, he said, "Although Qin is a bitter and cold place and is the border of the empire, it is now connected to Shu. It can be said that it can attack and defend when retreating. Although the Lord of Qin has not been king, it is not difficult to see from his actions that this is a young monarch with a long-term strategic vision. With the view of a weak minister, our country should take this opportunity to establish good relations with Qin."

As soon as he finished speaking, before the Ling King responded, other officials in the hall stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng is so serious. Qin is so bitter and cold, desolate for a long time. He cannot be regarded as a member of the princes of the Central Plains. Moreover, our country is far from Qin, and it is more than a thousand miles away from Jin, Yan and other countries in the middle. Such a king of small land is not worth the trouble of my king."

"Mr. Wang is so bad."

Cheng Ping began to argue with him in the court and said, "Let's not talk about the bitterness and coldness of Qin, let's first discuss the Qin Lord."

As he spoke, he faced the Ling King again and continued, "I heard that the Qin Lord Xiao Yuan was only a single soldier before. However, during the Wu Yuan Rebellion, he was only a small captain, but he dared to take thousands of people to attack the imperial capital and enter the capital to serve the king. This decision requires a certain strategic vision and absolute courage."

"Later, this man entered Qin, carried out military and political reforms, prepared for war, retreated to the Western Rong, opened up a thousand miles of land, and made twelve cities. All kinds of things here must be heard of."

"And then, the Central Plains War broke out, but this person took this opportunity to annex Shu. You must know that at that time, Sichuan and Shu were far superior to Qin, not to mention that there was a powerful Wu Kingdom next to it!"

"If the Wu army suddenly joined the war when the Qin army attacked Shu, Xiao Yuan would have finished everything. Not only would he not be able to obtain Shu, but he might also be lost together with Qin! But he would have dared to do this. What a fighter opportunity he had seized."

As he spoke, Cheng Ping continued: "King, we don't have to worry about how Qin is. The key issue is that the person in charge of Qin. The Qin Lord has great ambitions. He will never stop there. He will definitely find a way to go east and compete with the nations. At that time, if our country wants to get closer to it, it may take some energy. However, for the king, it is a small task."

The expression of the Spirit King gradually became solemn. He raised his hand and stopped another minister who wanted to argue, and then signaled Cheng Ping to continue.

The latter said: "This matter is an opportunity. The king only needs to send an envoy to Qinzhou to congratulate him. Such a small thing is enough to show our country's wishes. If the king does not do it, someone will do it."

"Oh?" The Spirit King raised his eyebrows.

"For example, King Liang." Cheng Ping said: "King Liang has always been the one who unified the world. When all the countries look down on Qin, he will definitely take this opportunity to win over the Qin Lord."

"King Liang." The Ling King was shocked. That was a cruel character.

Cheng Ping also said: "The king should regard the Qin Lord as a prince. It is better to have one more friend than to have one more potential enemy."

Hearing this, King Ling couldn't help but nodded slowly: "Well... what Cheng Qing said was very consistent with my wishes. He obeyed the order. He ordered Cheng Ping to go to Qinzhou to represent Lingguo and congratulate the Qin Lord on his wedding."

"I accept the order." Cheng Ping quickly bent down and bowed.

The reactions of the countries were mixed, but it is not difficult to see from this that although Xiao Yuan had not yet been king, his territory and army today had become one of the princes invisibly.

He might never have thought that this matter would have been mentioned to the court by the nations for a moment, and he would have never thought that two countries had sent envoys to congratulate him.

By the time Xiao Yuan received the news, it was more than ten days later. At this time, Cai Yan, the envoy of Liang Kingdom, and Cheng Ping, the envoy of Ling Kingdom, had just passed Shanyuguan.

They brought the envoys to the Qin territory. As soon as they entered the Qin territory, the news naturally reached Xiao Yuan immediately.

At this time, Liu Yuzhi was reporting the matter. After he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "King Liang and King Ling will actually send envoys to come. This is too unexpected."

"This just shows that in their hearts, they actually recognize the status of the lord, which is a good thing." Liu Yuzhi's way.

Xiao Yuan did not say much about this issue. He thought for a while and looked at Liu Yuzhi: "You go and welcome it, and the guests are welcomed."

"I understand, please rest assured, lord." Liu Yuzhi bowed and retreated.

After receiving the envoys from both countries, the day of the divorce banquet was getting closer and closer.

After the two sides met, Liu Yu's etiquette was in place.

However, Cai Yan and Cheng Ping are inevitably a little confused about each other.

These two people are ministers of Liang and ministers of Ling. They have had some diplomatic relations before, but Liang and Ling were somewhat inconsistent.

On this day, the hall of the prefect's mansion.

Cai Yan and Cheng Ping both arrived. After meeting Xiao Yuan, they saluted each other.

Cai Yan said: "Cai Yan, the envoy of Liang Kingdom, has met the Lord of Qin. My king heard that the Lord of Qin has been married. He specially ordered him to represent our country to congratulate him. I wish the Lord of Qin and his wife a happy marriage and a noble son soon..."

"You are polite, I am flattered to you, what a status of Your Highness Liang, I am so fond of this matter." Xiao Yuan said modestly, and bowed his hand at the same time, paying a bow to the two of them.

This is true for the envoy of Liang Kingdom, and the same is true for Ling Kingdom. After polite greetings between them, Xiao Yuan also arranged a residence for the two and treated them with courtesy.
