Chapter Five Hundred and Nineteenth Goddess, the uncle is going to be robbed
Chapter 519: Madam, my uncle is about to be snatched away
After the beginning of spring, the ice and snow melted, road conditions improved, caravans from all over the place came in droves, and Xidu became lively again.
Many caravans traveling to and from Xidu were surprised to find that after a winter, the roads in Xidu had changed drastically. From the mud and gravel roads before, they had turned into wide solid stone avenues. The wheels were rolling, and the road was smooth and smooth.
Much faster.
Seeing this scene, a merchant from a caravan that travels to Xidu for business all year round couldn't help but sigh: "Xiguo is really changing day by day. It is developing so fast. Last autumn, this road was just a gravel and mud road.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a road of solid stone!”
Another businessman answered: "With the current development speed of Xi State, I am afraid that it will not be long before the roads in all parts of Xi State are so good and connected. I am afraid that the development of our country in ten years will not be as good as that of Xi State in one year!"
"
"Who says it's not..."
...
The carriage rolled forward, and the merchant's emotion attracted the attention of a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes. He was a Qi practitioner from the Jiang Kingdom, with a fourth-level cultivation. He came to the Xi Kingdom to negotiate as a matchmaker on the order of a noble man.
The reason was that the nobleman's staff came to Xiguo to practice and highly praised the king of Xiguo. He praised him and claimed that he was worthy of friendship. After hearing this, the nobleman was very moved and sent him to Xiguo to act as a matchmaker, intending to betroth the Jiang family's granddaughter.
Give it to King Xi, and the two countries will form an alliance and have good relations.
When the middle-aged man first got this assignment, he was still full of curses in his heart.
The Kingdom of Jiang was a principality, and its king, Duke Jiang, was extremely powerful, highly valued by the emperor, and extremely prominent. However, the Kingdom of Xi was only a mere uncle's kingdom, and it was located in a wilderness. The noble girl was married far away, and she was undoubtedly forced to do so.
However, when the middle-aged man came to the Southern Wasteland and heard many rumors about Xi Country, his mentality changed subtly.
At this moment, he heard fellow businessmen lamenting that they were envious of Xi Guo. He immediately became more and more curious. He walked over and got close to these businessmen. After a conversation, he asked:
"The Kingdom of Xi has only been promoted from a small country to an uncle in recent years. Its national strength is really so impressive. Paving roads and building bridges is a big project. If it is not done well, it will waste people and money, and the country will be ruined. Is Uncle Xi too impatient? Listen to you.
He said that Xi State sent its people to work in winter!"
When Merchant A heard this, he immediately shook his head and retorted: "Hey, you are not from the Southern Wilderness. You don't know how powerful Xi State is. The people of Xi State are living a good life. How can you waste money and waste people? Xi State is so great. All the people manage their families.
With skill, slaves are more capable than civilians abroad, one is as good as two!"
Merchant B: "That's right! Xi Country is so powerful. We can't even name how many there are. However, I did business with Xi Country in the early years and watched with my own eyes as Xi Country grew from a remote small town to become the most prosperous city in the Southern Wilderness step by step.
, the richest place, King Xiao Xi’s ability to govern the country is definitely the most powerful."
Shang Jia A: "That makes sense. I have traveled all over the country and visited more than a hundred vassal states. However, there is no one who can compare with King Xi. Well, to be precise, not even half of King Xi."
Shang Jia Bing: "Hahahaha, I admire this. People often say that the king of Yun Kingdom is talented and is the leader of the resurgence of Izumo Country. He is expected to lead Izumo Country to become the new generation overlord of the Southern Wilderness. But in my opinion,
The Xi Nation will become the new overlord of the Southern Wilderness before the Izumo Nation!"
"Hahahaha, let's talk brother!"
...
The middle-aged man's "fishing problem" attracted the attention of the merchants. In just a few moments, more and more merchants participated in the discussion. Businessmen are the most knowledgeable people in the world, and everyone has "pointers."
Jiangshan", the ability to criticize the current shortcomings.
Even the heroes of Chuhou and Izumobo had no respect at all and had no taboos. However, when Xi Guo was mentioned, all the merchants showed respect on their faces. When the monarch Yao Yun was mentioned, they even used words of respect.
, is called "King Xi", and less often called "Uncle Xi".
Such discoveries made the middle-aged man extremely curious, as if his whole world view had been refreshed. He had never seen businessmen from other countries, and the people had such respect for the kings of other countries.
"Why respect King Xi? I admire King Xi can live a good life in the middle school. I heard that last winter, the king of Xixi became a three -grade gas.
In the past, people always said that King Xi has the ability to govern the country, but he is not very talented in practicing. Hahaha, whoever says this now will give you a slap in the face!"
"Hahahaha, no one has said anything! But I heard someone say that the king of Chu intends to marry his legitimate daughter to King Xi. The dowry has been paid, and he is just waiting for someone to make peace."
"Hey, the Marquis of Chu also means this? I heard that the Mo Kingdom is planning to marry the eldest princess to the Xi Kingdom, and the person who promised to marry them will arrive in Xidu as soon as the spring begins. I don't know if King Xi has agreed."
"Oh, it can't happen so quickly. I heard that many clans in Wu and Yue countries also have this idea..."
"Well, I heard that the emperor also intends to marry the emperor's daughter to King Xi."
"Who said this? Is this news true or false? I heard that King Xi was once the emperor's son, and they are a good match. I approve of this marriage!"
...
The middle-aged man listened with great interest at first, and his impression of Xi Guo and Xi Bo Yao Yun was greatly changed. He thought that marrying a noble girl far away from Xi Guo would not be considered a disgrace to his status.
But then he heard businessmen from various countries discussing various princes, and all the major clans were interested in marrying with the Xi Kingdom, and his expression suddenly changed.
In the past, he thought that his trip would go smoothly. The declining Xi State could marry the rising Jiang State. That would be a high-profile goal. There was no reason for Xi Bo to refuse.
But now...this King Xi is so popular that everyone wants to get involved.
...
Qingqiu Mountain Ten Thousand Cave Cave!
"Mother, it's not good, it's not good! My uncle is going to be snatched away!"
The peaceful and quiet morning was broken by a loud roar, which disturbed people's dreams.
Liusu Youyou, who was lying lazily on the jade bed, woke up. When she heard the cry, she was still in a trance: "Uncle, what kind of uncle!"
A snow-white nine-tailed fox leapt across, jumped in front of Liusu, turned into a human form, and knelt on the ground: "Reporting to the queen, I... am the king. He is getting married, and he wants to take a wife and a concubine!"
"What! Yao Yun is getting married?" Liusu sat up. Although her face was solemn and upright like a goddess, her urgent eyes betrayed her true inner thoughts.
The little vixen was stared at by his mother-in-law, and immediately panicked, and stammered and explained: "No...that's not the case, the king hasn't said who he wants to marry yet, but now that Xidu has come to make matchmakers, they are not the same side.
The princes are the clan members, the eldest princess and the daughter of the princes... Oh, oh, oh, my uncle is going to be snatched away."
