On the bank of Sang River in the south of Bugen City, there are many Nilu and guesthouses, which are connected directly to the dock.
On the Sang River, in addition to Jin Ferry, pontoon bridges will be erected in late summer and early autumn. At this time, the bridges are relatively stable and can pass large vehicles. It is not a big problem to carry two thousand kilograms of goods on it.
At this moment, there were seven or eight small boats parked on both sides of the pier at a private house. Twenty or thirty people were getting off the boats one after another, all of them sword-wielding warriors. Two of them were holding Wu Gou in their latest form.
The curved scabbard is very eye-catching among the many swords.
And these two people obviously had the highest status. After they got on the trestle, the rest slowly followed.
There is a dirt road on the shore connected by the trestle bridge, which is twisted and hidden among the reeds and cattails. After passing through it, you can see a courtyard.
On the side of the thatched cottage at the entrance, there are more than a dozen horses tied to the horse posts. In addition, the carriages lined up in a row are parked on one side. Outside the wooden fence, there are many large carriages, which look like they have been added.
a wall.
When they arrived in the courtyard, someone saw the visitor and immediately stood up to greet him.
The leader was none other than Gao Weasel Lifu. When he saw the visitor, he immediately saluted respectfully: "Gao Weasel Lifu, I have seen left horses and right horses."
"It's a great honor for us that these two interesting horses have come from afar!"
"Please, two interesting horses!"
…
Surrounded by the crowd, the two scholars wearing Wu hooks on their waists did not look complacent. Instead, after returning the courtesy, they invited everyone to come in together.
The main seat was vacant, and the two people sat on the left and right, as if there was a void monarch sitting there in the center.
"The two of you already know what you have entrusted us to do."
"It happened to be that we were escorting the princess to Langyuan. Due to the troops of Zheng State, we could not pass through the promised land. We had heard earlier that the fierce men of Wu State were attacking Cai. This would hydrate Ru River and flow Ying River into Huai River. Who would have thought..."
You Quma sighed, feeling extremely depressed.
Escorting the princess this time was originally going smoothly, and I even thought about taking the Chu country route before.
Now it's completely over, and the princess of Qin has become a big joke.
It would be okay to marry again, but the problem is that no one dares to ask for the princess of Qin again.
Even the would-be crown prince of Wu State can defeat death. Who thinks his life is tougher than Ji Si's?
What's even more disgusting is that even if there are idiots who dare to face the difficulties, if the damn Wu Kingdom gets mad, they will marry anyone.
Nowadays, the "good relationship between Wu and Qin" is just a decoration. The two big countries hurt each other. Although they have a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, it has happened, and it is useless to pretend that it does not exist.
The guards like them don't actually know what state the princess is in, but as guards, they are very disgusting now, that is quite disgusting.
"The two funny horses will definitely be able to cut through the thorns!"
Gao Weasel stood up and said solemnly to the two horses.
"It's best that way."
Zuo Quma sighed with emotion, and then said: "You are hesitant, we already know it. But... please Lifu show the public the 'Colorful Pearl' of the East China Sea."
"Hi!"
After saluting in response, Gao Weasel Lifu poured out a few glass marbles from the kit, and then gently placed them on the tray. The glass marbles immediately started rolling in the tray. Due to the light, the hall became more and more crowded as it went in.
It was darker, so when everyone saw the glass beads in the plate, they felt they were dazzling and gorgeous.
In fact, when the sunlight at the door shines a little, the halo created by the variegated glass really feels like a special effect.
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with exclamations of surprise.
"Ah! It's such a treasure..."
"Such a pearl, how come the people of Wu don't want a single coin and let Lifu take it away?"
"Exactly."
Gao Weasel Lifu said with emotion, "The person I talked to in Hu City pretended to be from Chen, but... from his accent, he seemed to be from Yan. The older man may be from Qi."
"It has always been said that the righteous men under the command of the fierce men of the Wu Kingdom have mixed origins. Now it seems that this is indeed the case."
"Lifu thinks Wu people are sincere?"
"..."
"..."
A group of Qin people were immediately speechless. The glass beads in the tray were still shining brightly. They had never seen such orbs before. What does it mean to be sincere? Isn't this sincerity enough?!
You know, they didn't even confiscate the money and handed it directly into the hands of Gao Itachi Lifu.
"From what I can see, the Wu people who went on this trip are very bold. However, I want to let the two Quma know that the older man must be a person with outstanding swordsmanship. Presumably, this man is not afraid that I will sweep away the five-color orb.
'."
After listening to what Gao Weasel Lifu said, the two funny horses were also thoughtful. The other party made it clear that he was not afraid of "taking advantage of others", so either the other party was a fool, or the other party was an expert and bold.
Zuoquma didn't think that Jiang Lijie, who was famous all over the world and was famous among the princes, would use his mental retardation as a lobbyist.
"What else does Wu Ren promise?"
"The land on both sides of the Huai River."
"Just the land?"
"Slave Dingkou can also discuss with you."
"Title?"
"The other party said, 'The general is a minister of the King of Wu, how dare you privately confer an official title?'"
"Well……"
In Zuo Quma's view, the key issue is the title. With a title, even if it cannot be hereditary, you can still have a privilege that is recognized by one generation.
This privilege allows the land to be sold at a good price. As for themselves, they will definitely not farm the land.
However, as a mid-level official of the Qin State, he had a very good understanding of the international situation. And Li Jie was the most popular local force in the Wu State recently. Under the background of the early stage of "Wu and Qin", the research on Li Jie has never been done.
stop.
Everyone around Quma knew that Jiangyi and Gusu Wangji areas still had completely different "systems", and Wu King Gouchen didn't care much about Li Jie's troubles.
"When did the Wu people leave Hucheng?"
"Two at most."
After Gao Weasel Lifu said this, he reminded the two Qu Ma, "Two Qu Ma, apart from Hu Cheng and his party, Cheng Ying and Xu Tian also have Wu people hiding their identities."
"oh?"
This news surprised Zuo Quma, because when they came to Bugen City, they passed through Langyuan, went to Chengying, then crossed the river from Chengying, and finally arrived at the bank of Ru River.
Normally, they should encounter lobbyists sent by Li Jie.
But in fact they have not met. Given the abilities of both parties, there is no reason for them to pass each other by.
"It seems that Wu people are not just persuading me to wait."
Zuo Quma brushed his beard and concluded, "Nowadays, near Xutian, there are many people who miss the country of Xu. Perhaps the strong men of the Wu Kingdom want to persuade people to rebel."
"Li Jie attacked Cai, and now he has conquered Xincai. For many people, he has taken revenge. As long as he defeats Zheng's army again, he will be able to restore his country. As long as many people still cherish their homeland, they will definitely respond."
What the survivors of the Xu Kingdom lack now is just a slogan and a leader.
Li Jie sent an envoy, which obviously filled this gap, and Li Jie's envoy was much more intimidating than the king of Xu State.
Not on the same level at all.
"Left and right horses, jiàn) I personally think that I should make a decision now. If I don't switch to Li Jie, then... I will fight with him. Zheng and Cai formed an alliance. Although they have many soldiers and generals, compared with the Song Dynasty's crusade,
) Yang State may not be much stronger."
A man in linen robes came up and summarized the situation a little, reminding the two horses that now is not the time to raise the price.
Because after the time point, what we faced was how to defeat Li Jie.
Taking refuge in Li Jie and defeating Li Jie are completely different. The difficulty is higher than that on earth.
"Do you think the combined forces of Zheng and Cai will be successful?"
When Zuo Quma asked this question, all the Qin people, whether they were businessmen or scholars, all understood and at this moment, they had made a decision.
