Kapitel 724: Chapter 321 Deceive the Heaven and Cross the Sea

By the time he arrived, Sun Siwen and the envoy from Chu State had been waiting for quite a while.

"Greetings to the king."

"Diplomat Su Xun pays his respects to the King of Chu."

When the two men saw Lu Yuan's arrival, they hurriedly paid their respects.

Lu Yuan walked to the throne and sat down. Then he looked down and swept his gaze over the two people, particularly examining the Chu State envoy for a moment before asking, "What brings the Zhou envoy to Chu State?"

Su Xun appeared like a delicate scholar, with a handsome and graceful presence that gave people a refreshing feeling.

After hearing Lu Yuan's question, Su Xun said frankly, "In recent years, my country has been plagued by wars, causing many of our able-bodied young men to serve as soldiers rather than contribute to production. Time has passed, and we are now facing a shortage of food."
