Whenever there is a night banquet, all the people say they want to drink to their heart's content, but in fact they don't drink much.
In fact, in this kind of situation, it is easy for assassins to appear. No matter how strict the investigation is, there will always be oversights. If someone uses the identity of a guest to sneak in, once trouble occurs, it will be a matter of lightning and flint.
The crocodile guard Li Jie made several mistakes, but in the end it was all thanks to the boss's high combat power that no major mistakes occurred.
However, Li Jie didn't mean to blame the crocodiles. After all, their main duty is to kill people on the battlefield. Even if they fight alone, they are not necessarily the opponents of the wandering warriors. Those "martial arts" from Qi State are really strong in one-on-one combat.
In hand.
When people work as bodyguards, they are not professionals. They are just younger brothers who have been practicing for two years.
A little more attention to control would be great.
"Compared to other places in Huaizhong City, there are not many precious species."
"But it's not a lot."
"oh?"
People from the Gao family in Qiancheng County, Qi State, were distinguished guests and were placed in relatively front seats.
Banquets are completely different from other countries. Although they share food, they share food at the same table.
There was a circle of people sitting at the huge round table.
Guests can take their seats according to the number plate, which is very convenient.
After the table was served, snacks such as nuts and candied fruits were served. The lights around the entire hall were extremely bright. There were hundreds of glass lampshades, but less than half of them were lit, and the entire hall was already quite bright.
Many guests looked around. Although they still felt that Uncle Huaishui's place was very simple, the details were extremely luxurious.
Even just a lampshade, even just a candle burning in it, is extremely expensive.
Every item shipped back to China is a high-end item of great value.
"The Wei family of the Jin State is the Zhongxing family; the Zhengchengzi family of the Zheng State is the Luo family and the Bai family; the Qin family is the Che family, the Bai family, and the Wushi family; the Wu family of Huaibei is the Zhi family; the Fu family of the Biyang State is the Yang family; the Zeng family of the Sui State
Clan; Cai Guo’s Cai family, Ying family…”
After all, the Gao family in Qiancheng Yi was doing business all over the world, and Lao Jianghu immediately recognized the identities of the guests from all over the world.
The people mentioned above are all of noble stock, and they probably haven't really interacted with common people for several generations.
What is extremely clear is the crocodile man on the other side who is dressed in regular clothes and has a dagger on his waist or ankle.
Although the scholars also wore swords, their weapons were placed under the porch outside the door, and someone watched them specially.
Except for the crocodile men, even the captains of the "White Sand Warriors" are not allowed to carry weapons.
In the entire banquet hall, except for the guards who were on duty, there were only crocodiles sitting there motionless with weapons, saying nothing.
As a result, the entire banquet hall formed a very strange scene. One side was very lively, and nobles from all over the world were there to greet each other and make friends, and they were extremely lively.
On the other side, there was a solemn atmosphere, as if King Wu Wei had passed away again.
However, although the nobles from all over the world have a calm face and are indifferent to all kinds of enthusiasm, they actually admire Li Jie's powerful military training skills and the crocodile man who is famous in all countries. When it comes to such an occasion, he still looks like a dumbfounded chicken.
.
Biyang Ziyubao, who had arrived overnight, arrived late. After entering, he saw that all the crocodiles were sitting, so he stepped forward with a smile and asked: "The general has not arrived yet?"
"Shou Li just came."
"Today is a happy event, so there is no need to be so formal. You can drink a little, but you still have to eat these dishes. Let's eat something first."
Yubao was also familiar with the crocodiles and greeted them quickly.
The sitting alligators did not respond. The soldiers looked at the officers, and the officers looked at the superiors.
The captains summed it up and gave the order: "Then just listen to Yoko, everyone can eat as much as you like."
The nuts and candied fruits on the round table were then picked up and eaten slowly.
Yubao is also helpless, this is the style of these crocodile people.
After drinking tea instead of wine and greeting the crocodile people at more than 20 tables one by one, Yubao went to the other side. He was not sitting here.
After all, he has a special status and was once the king of the country. Now Biyang Kingdom has officially been renamed Fucheng, but Yubao's title of Biyang Vizier is still retained.
Still forcing Yangzi, although Emperor Zhou knew about it, he didn't say anything. He pretended not to know, so it didn't matter whether it was embarrassing or not.
As for whether they will close the door and draw a circle and curse the new King of Wu to die early, that is another matter.
After Yu Bao entered the scene, the nobles of various countries became more enthusiastic, and their treatment was completely different.
After all, Biyang Kingdom won both of the Biyang battles. Although it relied on external force, a win was a win. Biyang Kingdom's territory expanded several times.
Even though Biyang State has now surrendered to Wu State and become part of Wu State's territory, Biyangzi's title is still there, and the right to worship ancestors is still retained.
What's more important is that a lot of newly added farmland in Biyang City's Second Ring Road construction site is considered to be under Biyangzi's name. Even if he is not a king, he is still a very high-ranking rich man in all countries.
The ditches on both sides of the Surabaya River have been widened a lot, and it has been able to enter the Huaihe River smoothly. After the Hangou was strengthened again, the north-south canal was extremely convenient. Fucheng's current trade volume has steadily exceeded that of Cao State, and the Dui River on the banks of the Surabaya River has become very convenient.
Fields and warehouses, I don’t know how many countries are interested in them.
If the Song Dynasty had not been severely beaten, it would have been necessary to start a war to use the current profits on the shores of Surabaya.
It's a pity that I don't dare to fight. Even if Li Jie is not here, there are now more than 20,000 troops stationed in Fucheng. The extreme violent soldiers use tricks and charge back to the side of the Song Dynasty. There is no pressure at all.
After all, Fucheng's current defense system may be a bit exaggerated to say it is the strongest city in the world, but Song State's current size will definitely not be able to overthrow it, nor will Lu or Wei State be added to it.
"Junjun!"
"Please, please!"
"I haven't seen you for many years, but you still look like you!"
"Jun, long time no see!"
As Yu Bao took his seat, countless people stood up, and a circle suddenly formed around him.
In the past, the princes all thought that Yu Bao was Li Jie's puppet. Even Yu Bao himself had such a realization at first.
The result was completely different. There was no problem with Yu Bao's independence, and he finally surrendered to Wu State, which was also in line with the general trend.
With Li Jie as his backer, after joining the Kingdom of Wu, the new King of Wu did not say anything about directly knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow. He just collected protection money in a routine manner without taking any drastic actions.
It is really a drastic method to stabilize profits. There is no need to use it. The number of locals in Biyang Country is now less than one-third, and the value of these locals is still very low. A large part of them are savages.
Even the leading nobles among Huaiyi.
Frequent economic exchanges have made people-to-people integration very efficient. As long as the bureaucrats and businessmen from Suzhou are not blind and report the facts, Tai Shumao and Wu Wanglu will no longer think about trying to manipulate the Yue people.
Such drastic measures.
As for the hilltops within Gusu, the struggle has reached such a fierce level that any possibility of adding a powerful enemy must be eliminated.
Regardless of the fact that this "effort of expanding the territory" is essentially the work of the late king and Li Jie, after forcing Yangzi Yubao to join the Wu State, from the overall perspective of the Wu State, he is also a local snake and a mountaintop, but he has not yet integrated.
To the power field of Gusu Wangji area.
Therefore, regardless of Li Jie, Yu Bao was still quite popular and respected within the sphere of influence of Wu State.
"Gentlemen, Li Zi is very happy today, please enjoy and drink!"
Yu Bao was happily chatting with the nobles from all over the world, but he was thinking about another thing.
That's when he discovered that Li Jie valued this eldest daughter very much.
He knew that the eldest daughter was born to Princess Chen, but he did not believe that Li Jie would look at her differently because of her status as Princess Chen.
After the two forced Yang battles, Yu Bao can conclude that Li Jie is not such a "superficial" person and will not be restrained by his identity.
Regardless of superiority or inferiority, treat everyone equally.
So Yubao boldly guessed that Li Jie might really want a daughter, so he entertained guests with such a big banquet after giving birth to his eldest daughter.
This is the first time Yubao has participated in this kind of "celebration banquet".
Thinking of this, Yubao began to think about it. He had two sons, who seemed to be just one or two years old. In two years, he would bring them to Huaizhong City so that they could get close and familiar with each other. In the name of studying, they should be
pretty good.
When the time is right, mention it to Li Jie again. After thirteen or four years, the relationship should be very mature. Wouldn't it be a matter of course for them to become in-laws?
However, Yubao was very anxious and did not wait for me. Because Li Jie had a far-reaching plan, he might be able to annex Cai Nan this year and attack the Huai River around the autumn harvest. Chu State would lose half of its country.
At this rate, in ten years, it might really be possible to dominate the world.
Anyway, Yu Bao couldn't see anyone from other countries who could compete with Li Jie's military force. Being in Li Jie's system, Yu Bao knew very well how terrifying the production efficiency of the entire Li Jie team was.
If you pile up the output of weapons and equipment, it can kill all the princes of the world. It is not an opponent on the same level at all.
Others thought that the two forced Yang battles were about the weak defeating the strong, and the few defeating the many.
In fact, it's all bullshit. As the leader of Biyang Kingdom, Yubao knows how much resources have been lost.
The second ring road construction site outside Yangcheng is so bright that the Song Dynasty can try to build it? Only if the Song Dynasty is not bankrupt can the whole country rebel.
The deeper the understanding, the more optimistic Yubao is about Li Jie. What does it mean to join Wu State... Shit, he essentially belongs to Li Jie, and Yubao has calculated that as long as Wu relaxes a little bit in the internal struggle, there will be a slight difference in the outcome.
The first sign of this was the moment Li Jie left the field.
With Li Jie's current strength, what will happen to the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom after he is over?
Looking at the fawning faces in the entire "splendid" banquet hall, Yubao did not feel sick, but became more and more confident. The survival of the family cannot only rely on his generation. If he can compete with Li Jie
He didn't think too much about getting married, the next generation, or the big achievements. He was content with being able to enjoy the glory and wealth.
