Chapter 64 Acquaintance I
Yue Guo Minh and mid-December of the second year.
King Yue saw the rise of the merman in the future in the prophecy of the Xingzhu family - Mohe, and he sent people to the mouth of the strait to present the covenant between the Yue country and the merman tribe - Shang Qi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
On the fifteenth day, the Shang Qi tribe sent a large number of armored soldiers to set foot on the mainland of Yueguo, and the patriarch tore up the covenant in front of the envoys and shot 10,000 arrows in Luocheng, indicating that his clan had a feud with the human race and refused to make peace.
The news spread to the other five countries on the other side of the strait. The five kingdoms were shaken, and immediately there were astrologers who prophesied the future of the mermen for the kings of the countries.
After half a month, a slice of the merman's future is derived. It was a hundred-meter-high wave that rushed into the city near the shore, and countless mermaids hid in the sea and roared into the sky, rushing into the city walls to carry out endless killing.
The day is about to change, and this is the exclamation of almost all the namstellers after prophesying. The merman who was exploited by the other five clans will one day find a way to rush ashore to take revenge on the rest of the five clans.
【Palace of the King of Chu】
From time to time, the charcoal fire spits out a yellowish tongue of fire, and the two pairs of thick hands on the charcoal fire are baked red.
The two hands were constantly rubbing together from time to time. Outside the temple, white snow flakes were accumulating on the already thick ground, and everywhere there was a white expanse.
"Mr. Ji Ying, it is now rumored everywhere that the mermaids under the sea will rush to the shore to seek revenge on us. ”
Chu Wang Yinghao looked at the charcoal fire burning under his palm and said to a middle-aged man beside him.
Ji Ying's beard is ethereal and slender; The whole face is sickly pale; There was a sense of calm in his apricot eyes, the fox's clothes wrapped tightly around his body, and the whole brightly colored fox tail wrapped around his stubby neck.
"Is the king worried about the prophecy of the group of constellation masters?" Ji Ying looked up at Ying Hao, who was looking at the blazing charcoal fire.
"Chu State Linhai, how can Mr. Ji let me not worry?" Ying Hao sighed, "Now that the Yue Kingdom is already looking for mermaid tribes to form an alliance, presumably the seriousness of this prophecy is more serious than what I understand. ”
"Hey.. Hey"
When Ji Ying heard this, he laughed and was speechless, turned his hands over, and coughed a few dry times.
Ying Hao frowned, raised his head to look at Ji Ying, who looked serene, pursed his lips and said with a smile, "What does Mr. Ji think about this?"
"In the troubled times, there are heroes who rise, and now the secret deployment of various countries has been deployed on the entire continent, and although the friction between countries is continuous, there is no large-scale war. When Ji Ying said this, he stopped and looked at Ying Hao, "The reason why there is no big war is because of the balance of the six countries, and the rise of the merman in the prophecy is that the king can look forward to the long run." ”
"Looking at the long run?" Ying Hao frowned and sighed lightly.
"The king only knows that Chu is in the sea, and he is afraid that the sharks will attack. But has the king ever thought about it? The country near the sea is easier to make friends with the merman, and take advantage of the merman's momentum to break the balance of the six countries. Ji Ying spoke calmly, lifted the tin pot in hot water, and poured a glass of wine for Yinghao.
Ying Hao took the wine glass handed over by Ji Ying, shook it slowly, and did not rush to speak, but after glancing at Ji Ying, the corners of his mouth were raised, "Mr. Ji, Yue Guo wants to form an alliance with the mermaids, Shang Qi shoots 10,000 arrows in Luocheng, does Mr. Ji Ying think that the Shangqi tribe also shoots 10,000 arrows in Jicheng?"
"Then the king will set his eyes on the rest of the merman tribes, now there are more than 100 merman tribes, and the relationship between each tribe is like our six kingdoms, why doesn't the king secretly support a few tribes and secretly give them weapons and food?" Ji Ying smiled from afar, and his words were calm.
"Good."
After Ying Hao heard this, he nodded, drank all the wine in the cup, and saw Ji Ying, who was secretly laughing.
He sighed in his heart, and put down the cup in his hand heavily, "Mr. is strategizing, the widow admires, presumably the envoy to visit and the merman tribe that supports, Mr. has already thought about it, right?"
Ji Ying smiled slyly, looking at the wine in the cup silently.
The next day, Lin Shu of Chu State secretly visited several large tribes of the mermaids as an envoy of Chu State.
Lin Shu is a mixed race of mermaids and humans, has lived in Chu for twenty or thirty years, can speak well, and relies on a mouth to go back and forth among the nobles.
A few years ago, Ji Ying saw that he was different from others, so he asked about his identity and raised him in the mansion as a staff officer.
At the same time, Yu Ze and Tuoba Qian poured into Jicheng along the white road. Tuoba Qian was wrapped in a thick mink coat, which his father had given her when he was still alive.
Tuoba Qian looked like an elf in that dress, standing in the wind and snow of Jicheng, her hands spread out, and she kept spinning on the snow.
Passers-by turned their heads to look at Tuoba Qian with some curiosity, and it was too cold on the street, so they left in a hurry after taking a sigh of relief.
Yu Ze stood behind Tuoba Qian, his whole hand holding the rucksack looked black and purple, swollen like swollen fat.
He looked at Tuoba Qian not far away, licked his dry lips, and smiled silently, his clothes in tatters.
He didn't have as many clothes to change as Tuoba Qian, and he only changed his clothes once along the way.
It is very far from Fengcheng in Lu State to Jicheng in Chu State, and there are continuous snow-capped mountains and gentle grasslands on the way.
Sometimes Tuoba Qian couldn't walk, Yu Ze would bend down and walk with Tuoba Qian on his back for a while.
"Brother Ji Jian, we have arrived at Jicheng, Jicheng of Chu State. ”
Tuoba stopped, her cheeks flushed in the cold wind, she blinked her eyes, looked at Yu Ze behind her, and opened her mouth excitedly.
"Well, here it is."
Yu Ze looked at Tuoba Qian and smiled, walked over, raised his hand and wanted to reach Tuoba Qian's cheeks.
"Brother Ji Jian, your hand." Tuoba Qian dodged Yu Ze's hand, tilted her head slightly at the waist, and pointed at Yu Ze's calloused and stained hands in embarrassment.
Yu Ze was stunned for a moment and noticed his hand. He smiled innocently, touched the back of his head with his hand again, and watched Tuoba Qian turn around and run forward.
Yu Ze's eyes faded, and he thought in his heart how could a person like him have a woman like Tuoba Qian. The world says that the door is right, and a person like him is not worthy of the woman in front of him. Thinking of this, he was a little unwilling in his heart, as unwilling as he was during the Qingjun Uprising.
From birth, the world has given him the label of insult and inferiority. But he is also dignified! He will prove that he Yu Ze can also have all the wealth, and he will trample under his feet all the people who laugh at him in the world, even if he is the only one standing in the end, and he can't see anyone's eyes, he is willing to bear that loneliness.
Thinking of this, Yu Ze raised his head again and chased after Tuoba Qian in the distance, "How should I find the friend you said?"
"He is the guard of the prince of the Yue Kingdom, and it is easy to find him. Tuoba Qian looked back at Yu Zeqiao and smiled, and shouted with rhythm, "Xiang Yiming, I, Tuoba Qian, came to you."
"I'm looking for you...."
