A reverse journey in Dancheng. Due to its size and location, it is easy to see that this is not a place prepared for ordinary people.
At this time, in a private courtyard in Nilv, there was a warrior sitting on his knees in the corridor.
The linen cloth on the warrior's body is very good and very unique. It is a kind of white sand linen newly produced in the state of Wu. It can only be produced in Yinxiang. A single piece of cloth can already compete with the inferior silk cloth.
The warrior with a serious face considered it for a while, and then said through the sliding door: "Is it true that I don't see Mr. Chen?"
There was a sigh in the room, and after a moment, someone spoke: "Things have changed."
This sigh was quite emotionally complex.
The samurai was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any questions.
"Lord, many of my disciples are hesitant. Gusu... will you never turn back in the future?"
"good."
Wow.
The sliding door was opened, and two maids were squeezing the shoulders of an old man.
The old man is none other than Dazai Ziqi, who suddenly disappeared from the Kingdom of Wu.
After changing into a relatively simple silk robe, Ziqi's current temperament was more like that of an elegant old master. The official majesty he once had was gone.
"Then I will inform all my disciples at night."
"As it should be."
Nodding slightly, Ziqi thought of Li Jie and suddenly became a little angry. If Princess Chen hadn't been in his hands, how could he have been so passive? His original plan, which he had seen Chen Hou in advance, was completely ruined.
However, there is finally no problem with the general direction. Chen State is only a small country after all.
"Jin, Wei envoy, do you want to join Chen?"
"We have arrived in Wan."
"good."
The Kingdom of Wu will not go back, but King Wu still has to pay back the last bit of love he has for Gouchen.
After being out for so long, Dazai Ziqi's tribe is still intact. There are no rumors that King Wu killed Ziqi's tribe. This alone makes Ziqi feel relieved.
"I'll leave for Wancheng."
"There is Chen Guoxi working here. If I leave, I might be noticed by Chen Jun."
"It doesn't matter. If I don't see you, you can't force him."
Zi Qi's indifferent expression still showed the confidence of Wu Guo Dazai.
At this time, news from Wu State had spread among the cities of Chen State, mainly that King Wu Gou Chen might not be able to survive, and Gusu had been placed under military control.
As for the rumors, there are countless rumors. Prince Chou launched a rebellion, Prince Yin launched a rebellion, and Prince Mao launched a rebellion. It seemed like overnight, all the princes of Wu State were rebelling.
However, Ziqi was very calm. If there was really a rebellion, there would be no news about Jiangyin.
Based on his observation of Li Jie, he expected that this "Lord of the Hundred Sands" would not take advantage of an advantage he saw. He was a reckless man who dared to pull his teeth out of the tiger's mouth. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, it would not be that easy.
Even though he secretly entered Chen State and became somewhat famous as a businessman in Chen State, it was because of Jiangyin's specialties.
White sand linen, Yinxiang honey, Xixi bamboo...
These specialty utensils were originally brought along with me, but I never expected that Ziqi would make a huge fortune.
It also made Ziqi a little dumbfounded, and the profits were no less than corruption.
When the agricultural officials of Chen State were busy with spring plowing, Ziqi led his people to Wancheng, the capital of Chen State.
Later, he used the excuse of promoting secret treasures from the south of the Yangtze River to enter the Jin Dynasty's "envoy".
Among the envoys of the Jin State, in addition to the envoys of the Jin State, there were also people from the Wei State.
In the past, envoys from various countries in Chen State were mostly subordinate officials and county officials.
But this time, it was Wei Cao, the senior official of Jin State, who acted secretly in the envoy of Chen State.
"Our Lord wants to dominate China, is King Wu really willing to support it?"
"The next King of Wu will be a humble gentleman and make friends with the princes of the Central Plains. He will naturally not want to fight with each other. Therefore, although the current King of Wu dominates the southeast, he only dominates for a while."
Ziqi looked at Wei Cao with a smile on his face and a calm tone. There was no pleasantries between the two parties, and there was nothing good to say.
When Gou Chen forced the Jin army in Lu Song and suffered defeat along with the Jin army, there was also Wei Cao, whose status in the army was not very high at that time.
The person in charge of Wu's rear was Ziqi.
All in all, Ziqi had a small victory over Wei Cao.
“Wu Guo’s sincerity!”
"I am willing to work with your country to support Zhao Ji's son as the King of Chu."
Wei Cao's expression suddenly changed with his plain words.
Regardless of the fact that the Wu State suffered from internal and external troubles, in fact, all major countries happened to suffer from internal and external troubles. Although the population was expanding, the large land population had not yet been smoothly digested by the big nobles. The struggle between the old and new nobles formed a large and small
Small interest groups.
Wu's system was chaotic, Chu's mountains were crowded, and even fights between Wu and Chu in the border areas were often just the private anger of local nobles.
"What does Wu need from Da Jin?"
"This is easy to hear."
Ziqi's expression remained calm, "Just escort the Prince Wu back to his country."
Hearing what Zi Qi said, Wei Cao looked happy. Now among the countries in the Central Plains, there are rumors about the princes of Wu.
Young Master Chou's wife is strong, Young Master Yin is brave and good at fighting, Young Master Mao is scheming... In short, they are all good men.
Only the young master is a humble gentleman like a bastard.
Such a person, for the kings and ministers of other countries, is really suitable to be the king of Wu.
"What are the benefits of my great advancement?"
"Destroy Xu State, Wu will gain its territory, and your country will benefit from it. What will happen?"
After being silent for a while, Wei Cao calculated Xu Guo's background and nodded immediately: "Yes."
From the perspective of the Jin State, supporting the young master is really the best thing. If the Jin State wants to dominate again, its old opponent is the Chu State. The struggle in the Chu State is very fierce now. If Zhao Ji wants to successfully control the situation, it is not enough to rely on the support of her natal family.
.
But with the state of Wu, it was completely different.
And in the long run, as long as Zhao Ji controls the political situation of Chu State, it will be easier for Jin State to take over Wu State in the future.
How is it possible to expect Wu to turn Jin into disgrace like it is now?
The State of Xu was in dilapidated state, and the few remaining cities, wealth and population were actually not very large. The State of Jin escorted the young master to Sigui State, and it was just in time to raise a team to intimidate the princes.
Among them was the Song State and Lu State, which had been defeated and humiliated.
The grinning Song State should have been beaten and beaten. The Song State was defeated by Biyang, but it does not mean that the Jin State will not step on it again.
As for escorting the young master, given the strength of the Jin State, it is not impossible to gather a thousand chariots to escort him.
After all, this is the next King of Wu, and he should be treated like a king who dominates a great country.
The two parties reached an agreement verbally, and there was no rush to put it into writing. Even if Ziqi was on the run, King Wu had not arranged for a new Dazai to take over, so Ziqi could still exercise power as Dazai.
Wei Cao was not in a hurry, and Zi Qi naturally looked calm and calm.
After leaving Jin's envoy's house, Ziqi seemed a little tired and rested for several days.
After a large number of Jin people left Wancheng, Ziqi led them westward to Zhou Kingdom overnight.
At this time, the authority of the Zhou Dynasty had long since disappeared. The emperor could not control the world, but could only control the one-third of an acre of land in front of the Zhou Kingdom.
However, after all, it was once the center of the world, and Luoyi's accumulation was still extremely strong. When Ziqi arrived in Luoyi, he had to sigh that the prosperity of Gusu was only one-third of that of Luoyi.
"My lord, the people of Qin are already waiting."
"Let's go and meet the Qin people for a while. We need to be careful about the position of queen."
But when Ziqi spoke, he smiled and was rather frivolous and disrespectful.
