Qingqiu, the crossing of the Yellow River, was blocked on the whole line, waiting for Mrs.
Wei Nanzi to cross the river.
The traveling merchants had to dock and wait at the wharf, where a considerable area had been cleared, surrounded by guards, and in the distance the wagons were crowded, and people huddled together to shield themselves from the howling north wind along the river.
In the crowd, a young man in Ge Yi looked around, and then asked with a smile to a merchant in his forties: "Uncle, why is the ferry closed to traffic, what happened?"
The man was talking with his partner about an affair in Inuqiu City yesterday, and he was a little impatient to be interrupted, but he looked back and saw that although the young man was dressed in coarse cloth and garments, he was very handsome with clear eyebrows and eyes, and his demeanor was quite extraordinary, so he put away his contempt and replied: "Little brother doesn't know that Nanzi, the wife of Wei Guojun, is about to cross the river from here and return to the Song Kingdom to visit relatives, people are nobles, and we must wait for Mrs.
Jun to cross the river before we can go on the road." ” The young man suddenly said, "I see, thank you uncle for telling me." ” Knowing that there was not something prohibiting crossing the river, the young man was relieved, and he squeezed in front of the pier in the crowd, looked at the majestic water of the Yellow River in the distance, and let out a long breath.
The two boatmen next to him were chatting: "Hey, have you heard, the Wu people have entered the Chu State" The person next to him snorted and said: "What kind of news is this, the Wu people have entered the Chu State for more than half a year, and they have occupied many cities, and they have not seen the Chu State send troops, hey Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, the new monarch is only 11 years old, and it is not helpful."
The dignified Chu State, hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, was bullied into the house, but it was the Wu State that covered up the rest and Zhu Yong led the troops to resist, which is really funny. ” The boatman smiled and said: "When did you have the news that I just sent the ship downstream, and I heard the merchant say that the concealment of Yu Zhuyong has been defeated and does not know where to flee, and the Wu people have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, and now they have fought Bai Ju, and the soldiers have sent Yun Mengze." ” The young man heard a faint trace of worry between his beautiful eyebrows, he raised his eyes to look at the other side of the Yellow River, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "He, the army of Wu State, is so shocked that Ji Guang only dares to fight with an assassin, how can he compare with him, my Lang Jun is a hero of the world, although it is quite unfavorable to him if he is defeated."
But with his skills, he will definitely be able to fight back to Wu in March next year. ” The cold wind at the mouth of the river made his robe tremble, but when he thought of that person, a warm current surged in his heart, and he didn't feel the cold of the weather at all.
Looking at the other side of the Yellow River, a sweet smile overflowed from the corner of his lips, and he called softly in his heart: "I have come all the way and will see you soon."
The daughter of the Jisun family does not want to marry the monarch, she can run away, your shaking light has your beloved Langjun, how can you lose to her, you don't have the courage to run away to find you in the future, people will accompany you, fight on the battlefield together, and restore the country and fight Wu together, are you happy?"
Qingji took four guards, disguised as ordinary merchants, and went all the way south, crossed the Yellow River, crossed the Han River and the Yangtze River, and entered the Chu realm.
When he left Weiguo, the cold wind was howling and the snow was all over the sky, but the further south he went, the warmer the weather became, and after entering the Chu realm, he basically didn't have to wear heavy cotton clothes.
The scenery here is also different from that of the north, the surface of the lake has been covered with a thin layer of ice, but here is still clear water, green grass and red flowers.
The state of Chu, located in the Yangtze River basin, is different from the countries of the Central Plains, whether it is the setting of official positions, the characteristics of culture or historical development.
Far back in the time of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, the development of civilization in the Yangtze River basin was ahead of the Central Plains, and they were the first to invent the method of refining metals, but in the battle of the deer, the Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor and Shaohao and other tribes joined forces to defeat the most powerful Chiyou tribe at that time, and they were forced to retreat south to the Chu area, becoming the Nanban known as the Zhou population.
Of course, in the eyes of the Chu people, people who are further south than them or the original natives of the Yangtze River basin are the southern barbarians.
Barbarians, too, are hierarchical.
The Chu people worship the fire god Zhurong, worship Dongyi Dayu, take the phoenix as the totem, and even the habits of dressing and seating are different from the Zhou people, the Zhou people take the left as the inferiority, and the Chu people respect the left.
The prime minister of the Chu people was named Ling Yin, and his official position was different from that of the Zhou people.
Therefore, the Chu people were regarded by the Zhou people as a southern barbarian anomaly, what to buy a pearl and return the pearl, carve a boat for a sword, draw a snake to add feet, and attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, these foolish stories were arranged on the head of the Chu people, and the Chu people were therefore arranged stupidly by the Zhou people.
But the victory and disdain of language can not affect anything, the first monarch of the Chu State, Xiong Yi, was only a viscount when he was named the king of the Chu State, and the Song State was a first-class duke as soon as the founding of the country is really a world of difference, and his so-called territory is mostly undeveloped wilderness, full of unwilling to tame local savages, the territory that can really be controlled by him is only a hundred miles of projectile land, so poor that the gift to Zhou Tianzi can only be the bud grass for straining wine and the thorn branches for arrow shafts and other wild things.
Among the princes of the Central Plains, he has no status, whenever the princes make a pilgrimage to Zhou Tianzi, Chu Jun, who is also a prince, can only run errands outside the banquet and take care of the fire, which is no different from a lowly servant.
But it is such a small country widow, constantly expanding the territory, expanding the territory, becoming a superpower dominating the world and the confidant of the entire Central Plains, Chu Jun Xiong Tongshi began to call the king of martial arts, from a small viscount directly promoted to a prince on an equal footing with Zhou Tianzi, creating a precedent for the princes to pretend to be kings, but because the soldiers of Chu are strong and strong, the princes of the world have not seen what to do with him.
The only thing they can do is to resolutely not call him king in official documents and in public, but still call him Chu Zi, so as to deceive themselves and ignore the King of Chu's violation of Zhou Tianzi.
The Chu people have many unique features, they were the first to invent the crossbow, and the copper swords they cast can be twice as long as the bronze swords of the Central Plains, and the casting skills of the Central Plains people are far less advanced than them.
They were also the first to create the administrative county system that China has used to this day, shaking the Zhou people's feudal system and creating a new mode of rule for the world.
Since the beginning of King Wu of Chu, the Chu people have destroyed thirty or forty small countries in their eyes, which is more than the small countries destroyed by the big eastern country Qi.
However, the glory of the Chu people, will also go downhill because of the mediocrity of the monarch, when King Chu Ping was alive, in order to strengthen the centralization of power, such as the Wu family, the Bo family and other loyal to the royal family but because of the generations in Chu as officials, the power of the family was all eradicated, and the annihilation of the Langwa, Fei Wuji, Yan generals and other annihilators were reused, tossing the Chu court into a miasma, and the administrative efficiency of the entire Chu State became extremely low.
Now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the ministers are in charge, the political situation of Chu is even more complicated, otherwise he will not be able to give up his national territory and let the Wu army fight and ravage with Yu and Zhu Yong here.
Only then will the country be poisoned to force them to fight with them.
Qingji pondered the situation of Chu all the way, while thinking: "It is really difficult to communicate with each other now, and I don't know if the two uncles led the Wu army to attack the Chu people's city according to the agreement, if they don't make the Chu people feel pain, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade them to send troops to attack Wu." ” On the road ahead, the number of pedestrians gradually increased, and Qingji lowered the sedan curtain and no longer looked out.
He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, and when he heard the increasing number of cars and pedestrians outside, and the noise continued, he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.
It is winter now, although the climate is not cold for the Yangtze River Basin, but due to the cold in the north, the number of travelers from the south to the north will be greatly reduced in winter He lifted the curtain and looked outside, and the pedestrians looked hurried, men, women and children, supporting the old and the young, carrying the load, looking very hurried.
Qingji knocked on the window of the car and said to the driver: "Stop, stop." ” When the car stopped, Qingji lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, and saw an old man staggering with a small burden on his back, so he walked up and saluted, and asked with a smile: "Old man, the merchant who came from the Jin Kingdom in the next year, in the past, because it was close to winter, there were not many pedestrians on the road, why is it so lively now?"
The old man was a little hard of hearing, and he yelled with his ears in his ears, "What are you talking about?"
Qingji looked at him, and really wanted to ask someone else, but he didn't feel polite enough, so he had to tear his throat and say it again and again, and the old man waved his hand and shook his head again and again: "Go back, go back, don't go forward."
We're not traveling merchants, we're fleeing. ” Qingji asked loudly: "What is the difficulty of escaping, what happened?"
The old man replied loudly: "The Wu people are here, burning, killing and looting all the way, destroying the silver women, it is simply a group of robbers, I am afraid that Yingdu will not be able to keep it, the ministers and doctors can escape faster than us, do you want this kid to rush to death, go, escape farther away to be safe." ” With that, he bowed back and left hurriedly.
Qingji was stunned when he heard this, how could Ji Guang's men and horses attack Yingdu, the capital of Chu State A woman with a child on her back next to her saw that he was a handsome young man, and she couldn't bear it, so she kindly persuaded: "Little brother, don't go forward, there is chaos everywhere, the Wu people are really about to attack Yingdu, let's run away for the time being." ” "The Wu people have attacked the city of Yingdu and poured the power of the Wu State, how can they fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chu State, what happened in the end" Qingji listened to it with a confused head, but he couldn't find out any further news from the mouths of these fleeing people, because these fleeing people had not yet seen the figure of the Wu army, it was completely word of mouth, and the refugees who fled from the hinterland of the Chu State heard the news that the Wu people had invaded the Chu State, wantonly burned, looted, and annihilated silver women, so they were terrified and fled from their hometowns.
Qingji continued to move forward in the face of the fleeing crowd, and at noon, a small city appeared in front of him, with more than ten soldiers standing at the gate of the city, and a man in a high-crowned Bo robed with a long sword in front of him, was hoarsely trying his best to appease the people who swarmed out of the city gate: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the Wu people have limited troops, even if they attack Yingdu, they can't divide their troops to attack the entire Wu country, the imperial court is mobilizing a large army to counterattack, you don't have to be so alarmed, stay here, once there is news, I will lead everyone to avoid the nearby mountains, It will not be mutilated by the Wu people. ” Unfortunately, he shouted hoarsely, but no one paid attention to him, and the refugees sped up.
Qing Ji looked at this man, about twenty-four or five years old, with a well-proportioned figure, bright eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, a slight beard under his chin, well-dressed, and a clear appearance, as if he was a person with an official position, so he got out of the car and stepped forward to inquire.
The man heard that he was a businessman from the Jin Kingdom, and said with a wry smile: "It turned out to be a business trip from afar, my surname is Fan Mingli, the word is Shaobo, but he is a local county doctor, the Wu people have invaded the border, and the people are panicked.
Guests may wish to stay in the county first, and wait for the exact news before making a decision. ” "So, thank you Dr.
Fan" Qingji shook his body to the ground, his body had not yet been raised, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, Huo Di raised his head, and shouted: "You just said, what is your name?"

The doctor was a little dazed, raised his hands to see that there was nothing wrong with him up and down, and then replied: "This doctor's name is Fan Li, what's the matter, does this guest know me?"
Qingji was stunned: "Fan Li, you are actually Fan Li" "It's Dr.
Ben, what's wrong?"
Qingji took a long breath and tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart.
In the history he knows, Fan Li appeared on the stage of history in the Yue Kingdom, as for the history of his work as a doctor in the Chu State is not detailed, he also thought that now Fan Li has arrived in the Yue Kingdom, but he does not know that Fan Li is in the Wu State after the destruction of the Chu State Yingdu, the court, the monarch did nothing, and was disheartened before he took refuge in the Yue Kingdom, and when he arrived in the Yue Kingdom, he sat on the cold bench for more than 20 years, until the Yue King Goujian wanted to enter the Wu as a slave before he was reused.
It's just that he doesn't know if this Fan Li is another person with the same name and surname, in case he recognizes the wrong person, Qingji hurriedly asked: "So, there is a literary doctor you can recognize?"
When Fan Li heard this, a little alertness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said with Yan: "It turns out that you are Zi Yu's friend, did he mention me to you, Zi Yu is Fan Li's friend, and he is an official in Yingdu" Speaking of this, he looked worried, and sighed lightly: "Now that rumors are everywhere, the people sent by this doctor have not returned, and I don't know what the situation of Yingdu is now, and whether the bird is safe and sound." ” Qingji came to Chu State in order to contact with Chu Jun, and now that Chu is so chaotic, I am afraid that I will not be able to calmly reach Yingdu and directly invite the King of Chu.
Since there is this doctor of the Chu State, Qingji will naturally no longer hide his identity, Qingji hurriedly said solemnly: "I don't hide it, this son doesn't know the literary doctor, but both of them are young Junyan of the Chu State, and this son is far away in other countries, and he has been looking up to his name for a long time." ” The country of Chu is so big, it is far from the turn of petty officials like Fan Li and Wen Chong to get ahead, as for fame, the two are also nameless, neither of them are friends, but they say that they have heard of the big name for a long time in the Jin Kingdom, that is a lie.
And he called himself this son, which surprised Fan Li even more, and he asked in surprise: "I don't know what your identity is" Qingji looked at the left and right surrounded by himself and Fan Li's subordinates, so as not to be heard, he replied solemnly: "This son is Qingji, the son of the first King of Wu, and he has come to Chu to ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu and discuss the plan to defeat Ji Guang. ” "Hey, be polite to me, don't push and shove."
"Don't talk nonsense, General Jing and General Ai have ordered, the military camp is heavy, and all idle people are not allowed to approach, what are you doing sneakily, what do you have to say, let's talk about it when I see my general."
Uncle Sun shook his anger: "What General Jing, General Ai, you asked Qingji to come to see me, hum, he naturally knows who I am when he sees him." ” Uncle Sun Shaoguang had just raised her head proudly, when she was violently pushed on the shoulder by a warrior, making her angry and funny.
However, Qingji's soldiers can be so loyal to their duties, and she is actually quite happy in her heart.
After Ji Sun Xiaoman ran away from home, Ji Song was annoyed and angry, and this incident hit him a lot, and he finally realized how his name as a monarch was not true.
Ji Sun Yiru was also quite annoyed, so he wanted to find another woman in the family to marry the monarch to ensure a closer relationship with the monarch.
Kong Qiu is now the most trusted person around Ji Song, he is the most cautious Zhou etiquette, how could he sit back and watch the monarch marry with the same surname, and do things that violate etiquette, but he saw the mentality of Sanhuan, so on the surface, he made a look of wanting to hire a wife for the monarch among the ministers of Lu, but in private he sent envoys to contact the vassal states with different surnames, hoping that the monarch could hire the daughter of the other country's office as his wife, which could greatly strengthen the strength of the monarch and gain a greater advantage in the power competition with Sanhuan.
Sanhuan didn't notice his intentions, and Uncle Sun Yu listened to Meng Ziyuan's persuasion, and also felt that her daughter was more suitable for herself and the entire family to be the wife of Lu Guo, not to mention whether Qingji could return to the country was still between the two.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he revealed his meaning to his daughter, he was strongly opposed by his uncle and grandson Shaoguang, and the father and daughter argued, and the uncle and grandson Yu were angry and confined his daughter in the mansion to be patient and persuasive, but she followed Ji Sun Xiaoman's example and walked away.
"Hey, don't be so rude, maybe it's someone from Childe."
Uncle and grandson shook the light in front, and behind him came the whispers of several defenders of Ai.
"I think it's a spy."
"Hehe, that's not necessarily, I just noticed that this person doesn't have an Adam's apple, he, hum, should be a woman."
"I'll just say, where are so many beautiful men?
Could it be that the woman is the son who has caused some romantic debts outside, and people have come to the door" One of them said in a low voice: "If it is seen by General Ai, it will be miserable, tsk, both of them are sons of the people, this competition is jealous" Several soldiers laughed, and the uncle shook his heart when he heard it: "The woman has only been away for a few months, and he can't bear the loneliness and find another woman."
Although she knew that Qingji would not be the only woman, when she thought about it, Uncle Sun Shaoguang still felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
Especially if General Ai is still a man, there are very few people who are good men, and when he thinks about his love with a man, he feels very awkward.
Walking along Aicheng Boulevard, a general with a sword in front of him approached with two soldiers, and when he saw several soldiers walking with a young man in plain robes, the general stopped and asked, "Who is he?"
Uncle Sun Shaoguang, a military commander beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Back to General Ai, according to the general's instructions, the periphery of Ai City has been fully strengthened.
This person was sneaky near Aicheng, and after we found out, he refused to reveal his true identity, but only kept saying that he wanted to see Gongzi, and his behavior was very suspicious, so he brought it to the general for interrogation. ” "Oh" Ji Sun Xiaoman looked her uncle up and down and shook her light, and suddenly felt a little familiar, she pressed her sword and looked up and down.
Uncle Sun Shaoguang heard that he was General Ai, and when he looked at him, he was really very handsome, if he changed into women's clothes, he would be more charming than many women, I am afraid that he and Qingji are really angry, and a wave of anger also rose from his heart.
"He's a woman" Ji Sun Xiaoman has only seen Uncle Sun Shaoguang a few times, and they have all seen it from a distance, she was still wearing women's clothes at the time, so although she felt familiar, she didn't think that she was Uncle Sun Shaoguang, but Uncle Sun Shaoguang's dress couldn't escape her eyes, only a few glances, she had recognized that Uncle Sun Shaoguang must be a woman, and she was a woman with a very outstanding appearance.
An inexplicable fire of jealousy burned in her chest, and the uncle looked at this handsome little general who was more feminine than a woman, and a fire of jealousy and anger ten times stronger than her burned in her eyes A gust of wind came, and the captain closest to them couldn't help but shiver and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"There is a murderous aura" All the samurai have aspirations together, and a sense of danger rises in their hearts.
