Qi Xiaobai arrived in Songcheng!

It was King Chu Huai and Guan Zhong and others who greeted Qi Xiaobai, and King Chu Huai stretched out his hands when he saw Qi Xiaobai: "You look like a talented gentleman!" ”

"King Huai is really extraordinary, domineering and leaking!" Qi Xiaobai touted King Chu Huai.

"There is not much difference between you and me, why don't you marry me, I am the elder brother, and you are the younger brother?" King Chu Huai looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked.

"That's exactly what I wanted!" Qi Xiaobai didn't expect that this King Chu Huai would marry him as a brother, and Guan Zhong on the side didn't expect it either!

"After we conclude the blood alliance, you and I will go to the temple in Song City to worship the heavens and the earth, and worship as brothers of the opposite sex!" King Chu Huai said to Qi Xiaobai.

"Good!" Qi Xiaobai directly agreed, he knew how to be a brother with King Chu Huai, which would be more beneficial to the covenant in the future.

Because the world knows that this King Chu Huai is a very righteous person......

Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai came to the altar used by the Song Kingdom to sacrifice to the heavens, and King Chu Huai stretched out his hand and cut a knife on his finger, and the blood fell into the bowl.

Qi Xiaobai also learned from King Chu Huai, and the bowl was infused with the blood of two people......

An old man looked at the two of them and said, "Today, the State of Qi and the State of Chu have concluded a blood alliance!" ”

Then the old man handed the silk embroidered with words to Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai respectively: "You two see, if there is any doubt, if not, you can press a blood seal and stamp your jade seal!" ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at the words on the silk, but King Chu Huai didn't look at it, he directly pressed the handprint and stamped it with the jade seal of the Chu State, the formulation of this covenant was made with him Guan Zhong, and he knew everything about this covenant.

The Covenant mainly says that when one side sends troops to a country, unless there are special circumstances, the other country must send troops to support, if a country is invaded by an enemy country, the other country must support no matter what happens, and when a country has a natural disaster, the other side must also provide support.

Qi Xiaobai looked at the alliance, this is basically to contain the two countries together, this is exactly the alliance that Qi Xiaobai wants, after it is signed, Qi will have the powerful ally of Chu.

This can give Qi a certain right to speak in the vassal states.

The signing of the covenant also means that the state of Chu recognized the state of Qi, and the state of Qi is also officially listed as a real power.

The territory occupied by Qi was one of the best lands in the empire, with fertile soil and proximity to the sea for maritime trade, making Qi the richest country outside of Song.

But that's all, Qi is just a rich country, but not a strong country, because Qi's military strength is hard, so the surrounding countries only recognize Qi as a rich country, but never recognize Qi as a strong country.

However, it has formed an alliance with the State of Chu, which means that the State of Chu has recognized the State of Qi......

If the State of Chu does not recognize your State of Qi, the State of Chu will not form an alliance with the State of Qi, after all, the alliance is that the two sides are on the same footing, which is not the same nature as vassals.

Qi Xiaobai covered the jade seal of the Qi State, and then the old man asked the two to exchange covenants with each other......

The two sides exchanged covenants, and at this time the blood alliance was officially concluded, and when the two sides left, the two sides only needed to take the national prince with them......

Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai were on the altar and officially concluded a blood alliance, and the people below had already exchanged the princes with each other.

There are four sons of King Chu Huai, all of which were handed over to Liu Ruoqing, while Qi Xiaobai only has one son, Qi Fei.

King Chu Huai looked at Qi Xiaobai: "My sons have all been given to you, you have to take care of them!" ”

"Huai Wang Shang can rest assured, I will definitely raise them as if they were my own sons!" Qi Xiaobai said to King Chu Huai.

"With Jun's words, I'm very relieved!" King Chu Huai said to Qi Xiaobai.

"Then my son is fat, I hope King Huai can care more!" Qi Xiaobai said to King Chu Huai.

"Don't worry, you raise my son as your son, and I will definitely raise your son as my son!" King Chu Huai said to Qi Xiaobai.

When the alliance ceremony was completed, a banquet was held in the palace of the Song Kingdom at night, and Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai came to a temple of the Song Kingdom.

In front of the two of them is a big incense burner, and each of them holds three incense sticks: "The yellow sky is the top, and the earth is the proof, today I Xiong Huai and I Qi Xiaobai, officially married as brothers of the opposite sex, do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year!" The two shouted together, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the censer.

The two of them put incense on the incense burner.

"Brother, please bow down to my little brother!" Qi Xiaobai bowed to Xiong Huai, and Xiong Huai hurriedly helped Qi Xiaobai: "We have already become brothers, don't be so polite!" ”

After the two of them finished worshipping, they left the temple, and they did not let the guards follow, but they walked together to the streets of Songcheng.

Songcheng is more prosperous than Yingqiu City, and it is the second most prosperous city in the empire after Luoyang, in fact, some people say that Songcheng is actually more prosperous than Luoyang.

It's just that because the emperor lived in Luoyang, in the city ranking, Song Cheng has always been after Luoyang.

Song City was the commercial city of the Empire, and merchants from all over the empire would come here to trade, and of course there were people from overseas who came here to trade.

The two came to a market together, and King Chu Huai looked at Qi Xiaobai and asked, "Brother, do you know what kind of market this is?" ”

"What market?" Qi Xiaobai asked suspiciously, thinking that the market is the market, what is the difference?

"This is the largest slave market in the Empire, where you can buy overseas blonde Persian cats, or hard-working Kunlun slaves!" King Chu Huai said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the world he was in was not a very advanced civilized world, and it was normal to have slaves.

"Brother, I came here once before I was on the throne, I didn't have enough money at that time, and I didn't buy the slave I wanted, so I had to go home empty-handed, and now I have become the king, so I want to take this opportunity to come here and choose a few slaves!" King Chu Huai said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai followed King Chu Huai to this slave market, the slave market is similar to an ordinary bazaar, except that the stalls in the slave market are people, and the goods in the bazaar are almost the same.

There are a lot of people coming and going, these people come over, walk over, stop when they see what they like, look at the slaves, Qi Xiaobai looks at these slaves, their prices are very low, and the soldiers of Qi can buy a slave here with two months' salary! ，

Coming to a slave who sold women, a fat slave trader said to King Chu Huai and Qi Xiaobai: "Master, at first glance, you are a noble person, this little slave has nothing to attract you, you come with me, I have a few rare things here!" ”

King Chu Huai originally wanted to pull Qi Xiaobai away, but after hearing the words of this dealer, he stayed and looked at this dealer with interest: "Then why don't you take us to have a look?" ”

"Great, good!" The slave trader hurriedly took Qi Xiaobai to the room behind him......
