Zhuo Mufeng was surprised and couldn't help but said: "Why did the prince of Northern Qi come to Eastern Zhou?"
It has been five or six years since he came to this world, and Zhuo Mufeng knows everything he needs to know. Among the five dynasties, Zhongzhou is the most powerful, with a vast territory and a large population. Its economy, trade, and agriculture are much higher than the other four dynasties.
The Northern Qi Dynasty was partially bordered by the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the past three hundred years, many wars broke out in the border areas, and the relationship between the two dynasties fell to a freezing point.
If I remember correctly, just over ten years ago, both sides sent hundreds of thousands of troops each. The Northern Qi army was stronger and once invaded the border.
Fortunately, Fang Zhaonan, the Jiedushi envoy of Jianbeidao at that time, strategized and responded promptly, and was able to narrowly withstand the attack of the Northern Qi Langya.
With such an irreconcilable relationship, the prince of Northern Qi, as the future heir, actually dared to come to Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
Qin Keqing sat on the stone bench with her legs crossed. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip. She gave Zhuo Mufeng a surprised look and said with a smile: "At this time, at that time, the prince of Northern Qi entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
It’s to ask for reinforcements.”
"What do you mean?" Zhuo Mufeng was even more puzzled.
The transmission of information in this world is very slow, and there are no books like "On the Rivers and Lakes" about important events in the court. Ordinary people often don't know about things until a long time later.
As the local manager of Songya Yue Mansion, Qin Keqing was obviously very well-informed. She gloated: "About a month ago, Western Chu and Nan Wu took action at the same time. They deployed 800,000 troops on the border in an attempt to attack from the west and south at the same time.
Attack Northern Qi."
Zhuo Mufeng's eyes widened, this was no small matter, and he said in a stunned tone: "Zhongzhou is the existence that the other four dynasties are afraid of, and Western Chu is the most barren. How can these two places cooperate?"
Qin Keqing shook her head, put the tea cup on the stone table, and said with a smile: "According to the news I got, the Emperor of Western Chu was seriously injured in an assassination not long ago. He was in a coma for three days and three nights before he was rescued, but he is still not out of danger.
The assassin was from the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Western Chu was furious, but because its strength was inferior to others, they secretly sent envoys to find Southern Wu. Southern Wu also hated Northern Qi for being arrogant. Especially the current Northern Qi Crown Princess, who was supposed to be the Southern Wu crown prince, was snatched away by Northern Qi. She has been
It was regarded as a national humiliation by the Southern Wu Dynasty. The two dynasties hit it off immediately, so they naturally launched troops against the Northern Qi Dynasty."
Zhuo Mufeng didn't speak for a long time. He had been walking in the rivers and lakes for the past few years, and all he met were people from the rivers and lakes, and things were happening in the rivers and lakes. He was completely unaware that somewhere he didn't know, something darker, more dangerous, and more magnificent was happening.
event.
With Qin Keqing's identity, the news he knows is generally not false. It is conceivable that once the news about Western Chu and Southern Wu launching troops against Northern Qi spreads, the world will be shocked!
Zhuo Mufeng couldn't help but said: "It seems that this time the Northern Qi prince is ordered to be in danger, it is destined that Northern Qi will bleed heavily."
These words made Qin Keqing look at him in astonishment, and naturally understood his underlying meaning, which was that he believed that Eastern Zhou Dynasty would sell out after being evaluated, and finally agreed to send troops. This guy was quite knowledgeable.
Although Northern Qi had a long-standing feud with Eastern Zhou, it was a natural barrier for Eastern Zhou, blocking Western Chu and Southern Wu. Once Northern Qi was broken, Eastern Zhou would be exposed to the other three dynasties, and the situation would be worse than facing Northern Qi and Zhongzhou.
Worse.
Zhuo Mufeng suddenly waved his hand: "Aunt Qin, there is no need for me to get involved in such matters as family, country and world affairs, right? I believe there are many experts in escorting the prince of Northern Qi, including me."
He is an idler and does not want to have anything to do with the imperial court.
Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Mu Feng looks down on himself too much. You are now the 91st master on the Tianxing Ranking. There are only 90 people in the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty who are ahead of you. How can I say that you are less?"
?”
To be honest, Qin Keqing has met so many people. There are not even ten thousand but eight thousand heroes from all over the world, but none of them can compare with the little guy in front of her.
She couldn't help but feel happy that she had sent people to follow Hu Lai and got hold of Zhuo Mufeng. Having such a trump card would give her stronger help in the future as Zhuo Mufeng grows.
Zhuo Mufeng still refused.
Qin Keqing persuaded her earnestly: "I have considered everything. As long as you complete this mission and have good results, you can immediately become the captain of Zhechong in Gusu City. This is a position that many people will never get.
, are you not tempted at all? With your official status, no one in the world would dare to mess with you."
Zhuo Mufeng spread his hands and said, "I am just an idle person. I don't want to be entangled in worldly affairs and delay my progress in martial arts."
Qin Keqing was particularly unwilling to give up. Once this boy had an official status, it would be more convenient for her future actions. She gritted her teeth and said: "Don't worry about this. When you become the captain of Zhechong, the people below will naturally do the things for you.
.”
"No, no, I'm not interested in being an official." Zhuo Mufeng just waved it off. This guy is very smart. How could he not see Qin Keqing's intentions and want to take advantage of me? It's a beautiful idea!
Qin Keqing continued to persuade her until she was almost dry with her words. Seeing that this boy was still indifferent, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Don't be ungrateful!"
In order to pave the way for this boy, she lost a lot of profits. As a result, great good things happened, but this boy was still unwilling?
Zhuo Mufeng drank tea calmly: "If nothing happens, Aunt Qin can leave. I slept late last night and I'm a little sleepy."
Clenching her fists tightly, Qin Keqing wanted to punch that lazy face, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhe Chong Xiaowei, commanding more than 40,000 people, has great authority. Once you sit in this position, you will be more helpful to Sanjiang."
the development of the alliance.
What's more, now that you have a foundation, as long as you perform well in the future and have my help, you may not be able to make further progress. But you don't cherish this opportunity. It seems that I misjudged you, huh!"
Really so angry, Qin Keqing flicked her sleeves, knocked all the tea cups over on the table, got up and walked out angrily.
"Wait a minute..." Just as she was about to walk out of the yard, Zhuo Mufeng's voice came from behind her. She couldn't help but stop and said coldly: "What else is there?"
Qin Keqing's words just now echoed in Zhuo Mufeng's ears. A Zhechong captain could actually command more than 40,000 people. He had always thought that there were only a few thousand people, so he looked down upon him and didn't bother to pay attention.
If there are more than 40,000 people, will it be counted into the power pillar value? It should be counted. In that case, wouldn't he be able to upgrade the Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique to a great achievement?
And listening to Qin Keqing's intention, it is clear that he wants to support him all the time. As his position increases, there will be more subordinates. Wouldn't the issue of power pillar value that has been bothering him be solved?
Zhuo Mufeng found that he had seriously underestimated the power of the government.
If the facts are as Qin Keqing said, then is there any way to gain power faster than joining the imperial court?
It should be noted that even the top forces only have tens of thousands of people, which is less than a Zhechong captain. Although they are all small soldiers, their power value does not depend on the strength of their subordinates.
And another thing is that once he has an official status, he will be able to face Tianzhu more calmly in the future.
Zhuo Mufeng froze on the spot, with his face sometimes excited, sometimes pensive, and sometimes frowning, just like a chameleon. Qin Keqing turned around with a glimmer of hope. Seeing his appearance, she felt inexplicably a little scared, thinking to herself, I'd better go first
Let's go.
Before he even took a step forward, Zhuo Daguan stood up and said with cupped hands: "Aunt Qin, please stay. After thinking about it, I still feel that I can't live up to Aunt Qin's hard work. Well, let Aunt Qin arrange everything."
"Are you sure?" The changes were so fast that Qin Keqing always felt that this kid had another agenda, but she couldn't figure it out.
Zhuo Mufeng: "As long as it can benefit the Sanjiang Alliance, I am willing to do anything!"
Looking at his expression carefully, Qin Keqing was still a little suspicious.
But when he thought that this guy was willing to give the Xiang Dan to Wu Guanting for free, and his loyalty to the Sanjiang Alliance was unquestionable, his last words must have touched him, so he nodded and showed a heartfelt smile: "Mu Feng really didn't let
I'm disappointed. It's really enviable that Guanting and his wife have such a son."
Qin Keqing left happily.
Zhuo Mufeng also began to imagine the bright road in the future, his thinking broke through the universe, and even imagined the day when he would become a Jiedushi. With millions of soldiers in his hands, he probably could even reach the perfection of six-star martial arts. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Miss Wu who came to him was very frightened.
Time passes day by day.
Due to his reputation, younger generations came to challenge Zhuo Mufeng every day. Of course Zhuo Mufeng refused to pay attention, and the Sanjiang Alliance stepped in to stop him.
Cui Baojian, the dead eunuch, was also very satisfied with Zhuo Mufeng. In the only time they met, he praised Zhuo Mufeng to the sky and did not let him go on another mission.
He probably thought he had control over Zhuo Mufeng and there was no need to test his loyalty, but instead he was afraid that something might happen to his treasure.
He just gave some serious instructions, telling Zhuo Mufeng to use all means to catch Miss Wu and never let the cooked duck fly away!
Eunuch Cui was worried. Before leaving, he left a bottle of medicine for Zhuo Mufeng. It was said that he got it in a mysterious tomb. It was unique in the world. Even a great master would immediately become emotional after taking it. This made Zhuo Mufeng quite a bit.
It means to cook raw rice into cooked rice.
This shameless eunuch!
More than a month has passed.
On this day, a group of people drove into Gusu City. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes and driving tall horses. They looked like the guards of ordinary merchants. But if you look closely, you will find that everyone has a divine light in their eyes and the weapons on their waists are also very special.
Not bad, there is an astonishing aura faintly contained in his body.
There were dozens of them in total, surrounding a similarly ordinary troika. After entering Gusu City, they dismounted cautiously without disturbing anyone.
Soon after, they left through another city gate. The leader of the group, the bearded man, waved his hand, and several people flew out. They carefully checked around, and when no one was found, the convoy drove into a forest on the right.
Qin Keqing has already brought Zhuo Mufeng and ten other masters waiting here.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Keqing was a little anxious. When she saw the convoy, her face was filled with joy and she quickly led everyone to greet it. She took out a wooden sign with the word "乐" engraved on it from her arms and said: "
The sky is endless."
The bearded man dismounted, took the token, checked it, and replied: "Huangdi Wuji."
Qin Keqing made another secret gesture. When the bearded man saw it, he finally nodded with confidence. He glanced at the eleven people behind Qin Keqing and asked, "Are they the masters recommended by your house? Who is the leader?"
"
Qin Keqing smiled, turned around and pointed at Zhuo Mufeng, who was in the crowd and said, "That's him."
