The guide paused and continued:
"Shi Hu was so lustful that he even led his troops into the minister's home at night and defiled his wife and concubines!"
It even caused an exclamation of surprise.
Hyun Feng suddenly asked:
"Who are you? How do you know so clearly?"
The guide looked at Hyun and said:
"I fled from here to the Kunyu Kingdom. I was alone in my family. I left when I couldn't survive. But those who brought their families with them could leave just as soon as they asked. Shihu went to war and ordered the soldiers to be mobilized.
Every five people brought out a cart, two oxen, fifteen hu of rice, and ten bolts of silk. Those who were not prepared were beheaded. The people had to sell their sons and daughters to collect military supplies. Even so, it was difficult to get together. If they were beheaded, they would be returned.
It is better to commit suicide. The people hanging on the trees on the roadside look at each other from afar." The more he spoke, the angrier he became. "For him, the life and death of the people have nothing to do with him. One year, there was a serious drought in Zhao State. A pound of gold could only buy two measures of millet. The people
His eyes were green with hunger, but he didn't care at all. All kinds of complicated corvee work continued, and people were dying of hunger and sorrow everywhere. It was really a hell on earth! It was that year that I escaped to Kunyu Kingdom."
Everyone who was still thinking and talking just now is now dumbfounded and speechless. They look at each other in shock, but cannot say a word. Hyun's eyes are looking deeper and deeper in front of the front.
The guide sighed for a while and said to Jiang Wu:
"Master Jiang, along the way, I also know that you are a good person. Regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he takes a fancy to Shihu, then that's it. Mr. Jiang is beautiful. If you go to see Shihu like this, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Wu felt a chill and shuddered fiercely. He couldn't help but touch his face. The skin he had always been proud of suddenly felt a little bothersome today. If he was caught by someone like Shi Hu, even if the Jiang family was
The large gentry clan was only within the territory of Kunyu Kingdom, and Kunyu Kingdom was a small country. Even if the entire country was mobilized, it would not be able to shake the Zhao Kingdom at all. Suddenly, I understood why Xun must eliminate Kunyu Kingdom's limelight.
He sighed here, while Hyun on the other side endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, and everyone looked at her in confusion.
Hyun suppressed her smile, moved closer to Jiang Wu, and said in a low voice:
"Suddenly I want to see Mr. Jiang showing his shyness under Shi Hu. The scene feels so beautiful just thinking about it."
Jiang Wu was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped her on the forehead.
The guide reminded me that everyone in the team who looked pretty was acting ugly.
Hyun touched his face and said with a smile:
"Sure enough, it's still safe to be ugly."
The guide looked at her, rubbed his tongue, and finally said:
"General Zhuo, please dress up too. In fact, the most insecure person here is the general. Although you are not as beautiful as Mr. Jiang, your thin body and weak and boneless appearance can easily be valued by His Majesty and His Highness."
Hyun was stunned for a moment and shouted hurriedly:
"Fake, give me the fake beard! Give me some more clothes! Make them thicker! Do you still have the ash at the bottom of the pot? Leave some for me!"
Everyone was busy helping Xun to do it, but Jiang Wu was laughing with tears in his eyes.
We finally arrived at Yecheng. Like the capitals of other countries, it was very lively, with busy traffic, people talking and horses neighing. It didn't look like the people were miserable under the brutal rule, and it looked like a peaceful and prosperous age.
The official who led the way arrived at the hotel, agreed on a time to meet Shi Hu, and then the official left. After finally arriving here, everyone wanted to go out and have fun. However, the guide on the way told a lot about Shi Hu's brutal rule.
He was also very casual about killing people. When he was in a good mood, he would not kill anyone. When he was in a bad mood, he would be killed even if he sneezed. Therefore, no one dared to go out. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Hyun was reading in the room when Jiang Wu came to see her. When he entered the door, he sat down opposite her angrily and said dissatisfiedly:
"It's so frustrating! Our mission has to look at Shi Hu's face, and we have to be careful that Shi Hu doesn't find trouble to kill us or find trouble to attack Kunyu Kingdom. I think we are the most frustrated mission in history!
"
Hyun handed him a glass of water:
"Who makes us a weak country? When the country is strong, the people are strong. When the country is strong, the people can stand up even when they go out. But when the country is weak, it can only be like this. Even if it is justified, it will not be defended."
After finishing speaking, Hyun thought about the late Qing Dynasty until the founding of New China, and many years after that. China was not strong at that time, and Chinese people abroad, even if they were very talented, would still be looked down upon. Because of this, originally
"China" just means a place name, but it has an emotional color, which has also caused many people to worship foreign things. However, in recent years, China has become stronger step by step, and its technological development has made some countries stunned and jumped.
When they came out to obstruct them, they were jealous and said that they had stolen their technology. In response, Hyun said that she was picking her nose. She is really proud of her country. In 70 years, a country with the largest population in the world has been transformed into a country with the largest population in the world.
, it is really not easy for a country with the largest number of ethnic groups to develop to what it is now.
Jiang Wu sighed and drank water slowly:
"What are you going to do with this visit?"
Hyun picked up the book again without taking it seriously:
"You should understand the country and its interests better than I do. There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends." He leaned forward, approached Jiang Wu, and looked into his eyes seriously. "Don't forget, we
We are here on behalf of Kunyu Country. We have to put our position in the perspective of the relationship between countries. All the current understanding of Shi Hu is just hearsay. Shi Hu is willing to kill people, but it does not mean that he will refuse the relationship between countries.
Cooperation, but it still depends on how to cooperate, let’s take it step by step.”
Jiang Wu looked at her and said dissatisfied:
"Why are you so calm? What could make you furious?"
Hyun said seriously:
"When you snatched my steamed buns to eat."
Jiang Wu blinked and held out his thumb:
"I'm convinced!"
On the day of meeting Shi Hu, there were five or six people in the group, and everyone else stayed at the hotel.
When we arrived outside the palace, it could be described as magnificent. I once saw the platform of Hanyuan Hall. I was shocked by just the platform. I imagined how majestic the building would be if it had not been destroyed. But when I saw
After entering Shihu's palace, Hyun felt that her original imagination was still too conservative.
Entering the palace gate, there are a group of women at the door wearing purple silk headscarves, trousers made of ripe brocade, gold and silver laces, boots made of five colors, holding feathers in their hands, and playing military music. Take a closer look at the appearance of each one.
They were as beautiful as flowers, and the official who led them was very proud to say that they were the attendants of the emperor's chariot. Hyun probably glanced at the women and wondered how many of these women were robbed.
The further they walked in, the more glittering they felt. It wasn't that it was made of gold, but it was so luxurious that even the Forbidden City couldn't compare.
When they arrived at the meeting place, everyone went in and saw a fat man sitting on the main seat. Although he was fat, he didn't look bloated. He looked very strong and had sharp eyes. Perhaps he was influenced by the "deeds" he heard on the road.
, when he looked over, everyone felt as if a knife had whizzed across their bodies.
The official who led the way knelt down and said to Shi Hu:
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Kunyu Kingdom has arrived."
Shi Hu glanced at the crowd casually:
"I wonder which of you is Master Jiang Wujiang?"
Hearing what he said, everyone thought at the same time: Fortunately, they all changed their makeup after listening to the guide.
Jiang Wu cupped his hands and bowed to him. They were an envoy. Although they were a small country, they were equal to Zhao and did not need to bow:
"I am Jiang Wu below."
Jiang Wu deliberately kept his voice dumb, so when Shi Hu heard the voice, he frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Wu carefully with round eyes, and curled his lips:
"I heard that Mr. Jiang is one of the most beautiful men in Kunyu country. He can be called a handsome man with such an appearance. It seems that all the people in your country are ugly."
Jiang Wu smiled and said:
"I don't dare to judge for myself whether the people of Kunyu Kingdom are ugly or not, but for me, any handsome man is too praised. I'm afraid there is an element of flattery in it."
Shi Hu squinted at Jiang Wu and then asked them to sit down.
Everyone ate and drank, and treated Shi Hu carefully. After drinking for three rounds, Shi Hu clapped his hands, and a group of dancers came up and danced in the middle. Just dance, but these dancers were all wearing very little, and they were very see-through, almost faintly.
Every piece of skin on the body can be seen. Some civil servants are bound by etiquette and dare not look directly.
Hyun peeked at Shi Hu, and when she looked back, she glanced at Jiang Wu, who was sitting on top of her. Jiang Wu's face was calm, as if he was watching a normal dance, and he was looking at it leisurely and calmly. Hyun smiled secretly and also looked at it leisurely.
His eyes were focused on these dancers.
Shi Hu felt full of contempt when he saw those people who clearly wanted to watch but pretended to be serious and refused to watch. What he couldn't stand the most was the hypocrisy of the people from the Central Plains. When he saw Jiang Wu and Xuan in the blink of an eye, he didn't see them at all.
He was not shy and looked boldly, but he also felt dissatisfied. He liked to see the Central Plains people being trampled under their feet, but did not like the way he was equal to him.
I hummed a few times in my heart and said:
"What do you think of these women, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Wu looked at these women. He wanted to say that they were not very good at dancing, but then he thought about how violent Shi Hu was. Don't let these innocent women die just because of his words, so he changed his words:
“Each has its own characteristics, which is good.”
Shi Hu laughed loudly:
"As expected, the people in Kunyu Kingdom are not very good-looking. These women are all third-class women. How can Lord Jiang be attracted to them?" After saying this, he laughed a few times and said, "Does Lord Jiang like anyone?
Just take your pick, the women here are all clean."
Jiang Wu was as angry as a mountain of fire, but on the surface he remained calm and smiled faintly:
"I already have beautiful wives and concubines at home, so I won't compete with Your Majesty for women."
When Hyun and the others heard this, they couldn't help but gasp, this wouldn't make Shihu kill someone, right?!
Sure enough, Shi Hu's laughter stopped suddenly and he looked at Jiang Wu with an unkind expression, but Jiang Wu still looked at him with a peaceful smile. The atmosphere was so depressing that the sweat on Hyun's back flowed down his spine, and his face
The blame for the blame was almost washed away by sweat. (To be continued)
