Soon the two came to Xiangyang. Yu Yi was drinking among the beauties. Some ministers were sitting next to him. Everyone was discussing the matter of Yu Sisi and Yu Yongqi. Yu Yi smiled and said to everyone: "It's been a month now. Guess what my daughter and son are doing?"
Everyone was reluctant to say anything, so Yu Yi teased: "It has been so long. If we attack, we should be able to get information at this time. You must know that Yu Sisi led and Jiang Wei cooperated with the Northern Expedition to prepare to attack the Central Plains, and Jiang Wei and The Emperor of Shu left not long ago, which proved that Yu Sisi failed. As for Yu Yongqi, it is said that he has been setting up troops near Jiangxia and no attack has been seen. I am afraid something has changed. The two of them will be back soon!" As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers came to report and said It was Yu Yongqi who came with the envoy from Soochow.
Everyone praised Yu Yi's wisdom. Yu Yi was a little proud and said with a smile: "The State of Wu is confused about Yu Yongqi and Chen Bing Jiangxia but does not attack. He will definitely send an envoy to find out the truth. If it is an ordinary envoy, my son will not let him go." He came here and has now brought him back to Xiangyang. I'm afraid this person is not ordinary." So he sent people to invite Yu Yongqi and the envoy to come in.
As expected, everyone's eyes did not leave the people around Yu Yongqi. Even Yu Yi was a little surprised and sighed: "Except for Diao Chan, there is probably no one else who can surpass this appearance."
Seeing that everyone was fascinated, Yu Yongqi coughed twice, bowed, and said: "I will join you, Prime Minister!"
Yu Yi smiled and said: "You are not Chen Bing Jiangxia, who is preparing to attack the Kingdom of Wu. How can you bring a beautiful woman back? Is this a beauty trick used by Soochow?"
Yu Yongqi was a little confused after hearing this, but Zhou Qiao stood up and said: "Zhou Qiao, the envoy of Wu State, was ordered by Emperor Wu to visit the prime minister and explain the key points in detail."
Yu Yi glanced at Yu Yongqi and felt a little disappointed. He didn't expect that his son was otherwise pretty good, but when he met a beauty, he wasn't so agile.
Yu Yi waved his hand and motioned for the chairs to be brought out, saying: "Since you are the envoy of Wu State, please take a seat!" When the chairs were moved nearby, Yu Yi waved the other dancers to go down, suspending the banquet and discussing national affairs.
Zhou Qiao quickly stopped him and said: "Although he is an envoy from Wu State, he is also a woman. I am very sorry for disturbing the prime minister's mood. I am willing to perform a dance to express my apology!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi became interested. This method of sending an envoy was indeed very novel, and he immediately agreed to Zhou Qiao's request. So Zhou Qiao selected some dancers who were good at dancing, then put on makeup, changed clothes, and started dancing.
As the second daughter of Mr. Qiao from Jiangdong, Xiao Qiao received richer training resources than Da Qiao. Mr. Qiao spent a lot of money to invite celebrities from all walks of life in Jiangdong to his home to train his two daughters, thus becoming Xiao Qiao. After Xiao Qiao lived in seclusion in a small village , so he taught all the skills to Zhou Qiao without reservation. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao was very talented and learned it quickly.
Soon after the dance, there was applause. Yuyi couldn't help but sigh after watching it. He thought to himself, what was the purpose of Soochow sending such an envoy? Looking at this woman's appearance and skills, she was definitely not an ordinary person. .
After Yu Yi applauded, he walked to Zhou Qiao and said: "This girl is both civilized and military, which is really admirable. In this case, I will ask Yifan, do you know why my son Yu Yongqi sent troops to Dongwu?"
He replied: "Yu Yongqi led 10,000 troops to send troops to Jiangxia. The troops were directed at Soochow. However, they did not attack within a month. I am afraid they are afraid of our country."
Yu Yi looked back at Yu Yongqi and asked, "Is what she said correct?"
Yu Yongqi glanced at Yu Yi and seemed a little ashamed. After all, he himself said he would go to the Wu Kingdom. Now, not only did he not go out, but he also brought back an eloquent man. When he heard his father asking, he bit his lip and argued: "Our country has been in alliance with Wu for many years. Now that Sun Quan has just passed away, sending troops hastily may break the alliance. If it is not handled well and Wei and Wu are allowed to ally with each other, then It’s not good.”
Yu Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "There is a reason for us to attack the Wu Kingdom. Recently, the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom actually took care of Zhuge Ke and killed the other nine tribes. You must know that Zhuge Ge is our Zhuge Shan's distant cousin." Relatives, you clearly don’t take me seriously.”
Zhou Qiao came out to argue: "It's a good thing that the Prime Minister cares about you. However, if you neglect important national affairs for some private matters, it will affect the people's judgment of you!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi laughed loudly and said: "What a sharp-tongued woman!" After saying that, he sat back and said to everyone: "You all discuss it and see how to deal with it?"
Everyone was talking, but no one came out. Yu Yi pointed at Yu Yongqi and said, "This incident happened because of you. What do you say?"
Yu Yongqi paid his respects and said: "Now that the Northern Expedition has been defeated, Wei State is eyeing the land of Shu State. This is a critical time for our alliance with Wu State. We can take advantage of Wu State's mission to consolidate Wu Shu. relation."
Yu Yi nodded and said: "It should be so!" Seeing a smile on Zhou Qiao's lips, Yu Yi said softly: "You are a good dancer. Although the alliance between Wu and Shu cannot be broken, Lord Wu's victory this time Your behavior makes me feel very scared. You came as an envoy this time and you didn’t bring anything with you. I think it’s better for you to stay in Xiangyang. How sincere is it to consolidate the alliance between your country of Wu and our country of Shu?"
Zhou Qiao was very surprised after hearing this. He did not expect the place to make such a request.
Some of the ministers below began to get excited, thinking that although the Prime Minister of Shu was a hero, he was still a beauty.
Yu Yongqi was both happy and disappointed. She was happy because her father actually wanted to keep Zhou Qiao, so she would have a chance. But she was disappointed because she didn't know if Yu Yi would take Zhou Qiao as her own. After all, he also liked this woman.
Soon the news spread, and Zhou Qiao returned to the Kingdom of Wu. When the Lord of Wu found out, he scolded Yu Yi. However, the Kingdom of Wu knew that the strength of the Shu Kingdom should not be underestimated, especially Yu Yi of Xiangyang. He If Wu came with troops and horses, no one could stop Wu. After final discussion, he agreed to Shu's request. After the reply letter passed, Yu Yi sent someone to deliver some gifts to Lord Wu, and at the same time took Zhou Qiao away.
As a native Soochow woman, she did not expect Lord Wu to give her away so easily. She felt very disappointed. After packing her things, she left Soochow without looking back.
Soon Zhou Qiao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xiangyang. Zhugeshan knew that the woman Zhou Qiao was left among Yuyi. After all, he had some ideas. After she came, he changed her clothes, bathed her, and sent her to Yuyi's Mansion. .
Zhou Qiao also knew what would happen, but facing the most powerful man in Xishu, what could she do?
When Zhou Qiao entered the house, Yu Yi looked at her and praised her: "You are indeed the best in the world. You are not an ordinary woman!"
Zhou Qiao bowed and told her that she was the daughter of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao. Yu Yi was very surprised after hearing this.
