As soon as Tan Pan left, Fang Zheng's face darkened.
Humph, an alliance? They're treating Yan as a lower class country before they've even formed an alliance!
Ha! Alliance? Is Zhao State worthy
Fang Zheng's attendant asked, "Sir, this story about Chu's high-yield grain is not fake, right? Should we continue to wait for news from Chu?"
It's easy to fake this kind of rumor.
Fang Zheng shook his head. "No. Pack up quickly and inform everyone. We will return to Yan State tomorrow morning."
If Chu Tiankuo lied about this matter, he would be making an enemy of Yan State and pushing Yan State towards Zhao State. The feud between Chu State and Zhao State would be set. He would not be so stupid.
Now he also understood why Chu Tiankuo gave such a favorable price to their Yan State.
The Crown Prince of Chu is taking another route and forcing the State of Yan to death.
However, no matter how Chu and Zhao confront each other, as long as they do not harm the interests of Yan and do not endanger the security of Yan, Yan will not participate. They can interact and trade normally and benefit from it!
Anyway, the interactions between countries are not about feelings, and there is no feeling to talk about, it is just cooperation for interests.
The benefits offered by Chu State are greater, why should Yan State give them up
Their Yan State is not as ambitious as the Zhao State, always thinking of dominating the world!
"yes!"

Early the next morning, Fang Zheng went to the palace to bid farewell to the King of Jin, and then left Jin with the young formation masters of Yan.
When the group was preparing to leave the city, they happened to meet Chu Tiankuo riding a horse towards the Jin Palace.
Chu Tiankuo rode a black BMW, and behind him followed a long convoy of mule carts.
A big red flower was tied around the neck of each mule.
Each mule cart had an exquisitely carved mahogany box tied to it, and a big red flower was also tied to the door of the box.
There were many people watching the excitement on the street.
"Whose betrothal gift is this? It's too generous, isn't it?"
"... ..Fifty-six, fifty-seven, fifty-eight, fifty-nine, I have counted fifty-nine mule carts! There are still so many more behind! How many gifts are there?"
"Who is that young man? He is so handsome, isn't he? I wonder which family he is betrothed to? He is so handsome, the woman he wants to marry must be as beautiful as a flower!"
"Is that the Crown Prince of Chu? He is going to marry Princess Xingnong of our Jin State. You don't even know him? Didn't you go to watch the competition among the young formation masters?"
"It was the busy farming season, how could I have the free time! So he wanted to marry Princess Xingnong, no wonder there were so many betrothal gifts! If the betrothal gifts were too little! We can't agree to marry Princess Xingnong to the State of Chu!"
"That's right! By then, our princess's dowry may be even more than these gifts!"
"That's for sure. You see, which family that loves their daughters doesn't give the betrothal gifts given by the man to their daughters when they marry them off? It's just a small amount as a token of appreciation. When Princess Xingnong gets married, she will definitely be dressed in a gorgeous dowry that will stretch ten miles!"
"Ten miles of red makeup is too little, right? At least a hundred miles of red makeup!"
"I just don't know what's in these boxes. I heard that Chu is very poor, so it's not all just for show, right?"
"If those vain things mess with our Princess Xingnong, then we won't marry! It's not like Jin is short of good men! Why should our only princess go far away? Isn't it good for such a good princess to stay in Jin? Why should she marry to a poor and remote place and suffer?"
"Yes, the prince of our Zhenguo Mansion is quite good."
"Also, the prince of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is also a famous talent!"
... ...
Fang Zheng couldn't help but stop.
The young formation master of Yan State naturally recognized Chu Tiankuo and admired him very much. After all, he and Xing Nong broke the last ancient formation together, which was enough to show that their strengths were equal.
A male formation master was surprised and asked, "Is the Crown Prince of Chu proposing so soon?"
"Is it fast? If I had a wife as powerful as Princess Xingnong, I would marry her as soon as possible!"
"That's right! I wonder what these gifts are?"
A female formation master said, "As a prince of a country marrying a concubine, the betrothal gifts must be rare treasures at the very least! I really want to know what the betrothal gifts are!"
"I want to know, too! Lord Fang, it's still early, why don't we see what kind of betrothal gift the Crown Prince of Chu has given before we leave? Maybe the Crown Prince of Chu will take this opportunity to use high-yield grain to plant a betrothal gift?"
These last words touched Fang Zheng, "You're right! Let's take a look before we go."
Most importantly, Fang Zheng was also curious about how much betrothal gifts the Crown Prince of Chu had given.
There are not many opportunities to see a marriage between two countries, where the prince of one country personally proposes to the princess of another country, throughout history!
Everyone loves to watch this kind of excitement, and Fang Zheng is no exception.
But it’s not clear here. If you want to see it clearly, you should go to the palace gate!
When these things are transported into the palace, they must be inspected, and then the "filling" inside can be seen.
So Fang Zheng led a group of people back to the palace gate.
They were originally living there, and now they said something had been leaked, so their luggage was left outside and they were allowed in after being checked.

In the palace, the King of Jin had just returned to Kunning Palace after court, and was having breakfast with Shen Ruoxi and Xing Nong.
The breakfast was very rich, with a total of thirty-six items. It could be said that it had everything, but the portions were very small, and each item was just enough for each person to take a bite.
This is also to avoid waste, so that three people can finish it.
At this time, Eunuch Li walked in hurriedly but not at all panicked: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Chu is here to propose marriage!"
Xing Nong: "..."
So sudden? Why didn't he tell me
The king of Jin was eating dumplings, and when he heard the words, a whole dumpling slipped into his esophagus!
Fortunately, the dumplings for breakfast were made very small and exquisite, and the ingredients were exquisite, so he did not choke. The king of Jin took a big sip of tea to calm himself!
Shen Ruoxi was annoyed when she heard this: “Oh my God! I almost forgot such an important day!”
Shen Ruoxi looked at the King of Jin: "Quick, send someone to greet him! Don't let Tian Kuo wait outside the door for too long, thinking that we are putting up a fight!"
Shen Ruoxi stood up after saying that, and didn’t even need breakfast.
There are many rules in the royal family. She has never experienced them before and has no idea what to do. She can only let the king of Jin make the arrangements.
The King of Jin was in a dilemma. He really wanted to punish Qiao, but his wife refused to cooperate with him!
The King of Jin glanced at his eunuch.
Eunuch Li immediately understood and said, "Don't worry, Queen. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu has not yet arrived at the palace gate, and he has to undergo inspection before entering the palace for the wedding ceremonies. It won't be so fast for a while."
The King of Jin pulled Shen Ruoxi back to his seat and made ready: "Don't worry! Eat breakfast first."
He had to have a good talk with her. He couldn't act like he was in a hurry to marry off his daughter! This would make his daughter look inferior!
If you don’t know, you might think she is worried that her daughter won’t be able to get married!
