The majestic image of the Gusu Palace was even more intense at this moment, making people dare not look directly at it.
Even the guards in the palace could not help but feel their spines tingle, feeling as if they were being targeted by a ferocious beast.
"If you can't sail a boat in Hangou, what's the use of you? The people of Wu can't sail a boat? That's ridiculous——"
The entire palace was trembling, and a large number of people were prostrate, but no one could satisfy Gou Chen.
"If Ziqi is here, there must be a way!"
The more times like this, the more I miss my old minister.
Of course he is greedy for money, but he really racks his brains to make suggestions for the king.
These people right now... hum.
Gou Chen's face was deep, he understood, he understood very well, after all, he came here like this back then.
These ministers who were lying on the ground and shivering seemed to be indeed afraid and frightened, but it was another matter to really make them do their best because of fear.
They were afraid of the King of Wu, and they would also neglect the King of Wu. However, the neglect was secret and they did not dare to show it on the surface.
"You are waiting, waiting for me, hahahaha..."
Gou Chen couldn't stop laughing. After a while, he waved his sleeves and left.
Some things don’t need to be said thoroughly.
The ministers below the main hall were indeed waiting for King Wu Gouchen, but they were waiting for his death.
The ministers are still afraid, but for the sake of the family and themselves, they must suppress this fear. Above fear, there is profit.
"Your Majesty! Peng Li reports urgently!"
"Um?"
Gou Chen was stunned for a moment. After the palace guard handed him the information, Gou Chen opened the silk cloth and looked at it for a while, uncertain, then he held the silk cloth and paced back and forth.
"The Kingdom of Chu was already in civil strife..."
What Gou Chen was originally worried about was that the alliance that the young master was presiding over would be discredited by others as "offending Tianwei".
But now, many things can be explained from other angles. Young Master is definitely not the only one who "offended Tianwei".
Jin, Chu, Jianghuai and other countries all offended the "power of heaven".
After thinking about it, Gou Chen felt a little regretful. If he had known that there would be a big flood, he would not have allowed Biyang to surrender to Wu earlier, and the "Tan Jun's land donation" should not have been postponed.
The occurrence of accidents made things more complicated.
He reused Li Jie and even gave Li Jie major conveniences. It was precisely because Li Jie was beyond complicated, incompatible with the Wu state system, and had no friendship, so he could only be a member of the King of Wu. Such people should be eliminated from those who
A thorn in the king's side and a thorn in the flesh will not cause any pressure.
Killing one person is killing, and killing ten thousand is also killing. To Li Jie, there is no one in Wu who cannot be killed.
"It's a pity that Li Jie is not in Huaixia. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to contact Gusu."
Li Jie had a good idea. He would always pass on any news to Suzhou, no matter if it was a major event or trivial, his attitude was very upright.
But compared to Tangyi's doctor Jia, he is incomparable to heaven and earth.
The Jia family wanted to hide everything from Gusu, fearing that the King of Wu would miss something, while Jiangyin City, in turn, wished that Gusu would send more people.
"Ajie."
"My slave is here."
"Hangou is impassable and Ji Si is trapped in Xucheng. Do you know who in Gusu can rescue her?"
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that no one in Wang Ji is qualified for this matter."
This involves too many things. After the water channel changes, most people will not be able to identify the direction. Furthermore, in some places, after the boat enters, the waves may overturn. At this moment, the ditch is dead, so there is no doubt
, there must be crocodiles everywhere.
It’s not that giant dragons don’t exist in the Huaihe River, it’s just that it was inconvenient to spread in the past. But with the coming of the flood, it’s natural for large crocodiles to appear.
This kind of thing has happened in Dongyan City. A sneak attack by a giant crocodile can kill a person.
In addition, all kinds of beasts and poisonous insects will also appear at this time. Survival becomes the first factor, so they will eventually explode.
What is particularly terrifying is humanity itself.
When there are no disasters, it may be okay. If you stutter, you can still tolerate it.
After suffering a disaster, the Huaiyi people, who have been oppressed many times, will make a final struggle like wild animals.
Trapped beast...Yu Dou!
"I ordered you to search for boating experts everywhere. If you can find out the news about Xu City, I will... be rewarded heavily!"
"..."
When Xiaojie said these four words, "There will be great rewards", Xiaojie's breathing visibly stopped.
He knew this was an unprecedented opportunity.
In fact, when he just said, "I'm afraid no one within Wang Ji is qualified," he only told half of the truth. The other half of the truth is that outside Wang Ji, it is not impossible.
At least, Xiaojie, who often goes to Jiangyin City, knows very well that there are new ships in Jiangyin City that can travel to places with fast currents.
At the same time, the savages in Jiangyin County seem to have a special way of identifying directions. This can be analyzed from their burning of the wheat fields in Yancheng.
Li Jie didn't hide much from Xiaojie in the past, but because Li Jie gave him enough benefits, there was no need for Xiaojie to offend Li Jie.
But now, he needs Li Jie's help.
Even though Li Jie is not here.
King Wu Gou Chen ordered him to go search for boating experts. After Xiaojie accepted the order, he went to Jiangyin in person without stopping.
After arriving in Yinxiang, I quickly visited Mrs. Yinxiang.
"Madam, this is the moment when Jie is advancing. If he can get help from his wife, he will never forget her kindness."
After that, Xiaojie took out a piece of paper with written words on it. He told how Xiaojie borrowed power from Jiangyin, signed and stamped it, and then stamped it with the seal of the palace. It can be said that this is a huge handle.
.
Dan was very calm. After watching Xiaojie finish all this, he slowly tore up the paper handed over by Xiaojie, then folded his hands in front of him and looked at Xiaojie: "The ability to travel to Xucheng can make
What kind of salary do you get?"
"Officer!"
The wide-eyed Xiaojie put his head on his hand and saluted, "Your Majesty is in the palace and has already made a gold medal for 'Great Attendant'. If he can spread the news about Xucheng and even lead the young master back, he will definitely get this high position."
!”
"good."
Nodding slightly, Dan said softly, "As a gentleman's friend, there is no reason not to help."
That's what he said, but if Xiaojie hadn't come clean, there would undoubtedly be no nice words to say.
Hearing Mrs. Yinxiang's words, Xiaojie burst into tears of excitement. He knew that at this moment, he had stepped on a threshold.
Behind this threshold may be the power second only to the former Dazai Ziqi.
"Jie, you will never forget your kindness today!"
After saying that, Xiaojie opened his mouth and bit his thumb, then pulled out a piece of blank paper and put a thumb print on it. Then he wiped a handful of blood, pulled out another piece of blank paper and left a palm print on it.
The two pieces of paper were left in place. Xiaojie bowed again and said, "Mrs. Nao, Jie, take your leave."
