80. Cooperation
Hearing that Sakura had a proposal, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What a proposal, you say," said Siejo.
"I helped you take the throne, you gave Simon to me, and then made the Western Kingdom a part of the Southern Kingdom, not a vassal country" Asakura was also straightforward enough to say what she was going to do, and what she would get in return.
"Even if I promise you, I don't think you can help me regain the throne" Xiju is not underestimating Asakura, but with a few of them, it is impossible to do it.
"You think we are few people, right?" Sakura forgot about Xiju's thoughts at a glance.
Xiju nodded.
"Helping you regain the throne is not helping you to conquer a country, what do you want so many people to do, your son can easily put you under house arrest to sit on the throne, it can be seen that you just need to pull him off the horse to take the throne" Asakura's simple words made Xiju's eyes light up. When he was under house arrest, he thought about escaping, and after escaping, he thought about running for his life to protect the jade seal and go to the south to move the rescuers, and he didn't think much about the rest, but now it seems that this matter is really as simple as that.
"Is this okay?" asked Xiju, still uneasy.
"Okay, don't you know if you try it, first of all, you take us into the royal city, and then find some subordinates who were loyal to you before, or ministers who are more opposed to Simon, the strength of a few of us is small, so we have to pull some reliable reinforcements" Of course, Sakura will not be naïve enough to think that four people can overthrow a king, this Simon, when he put his own father under house arrest, he must have put a lot of effort into it, and their trick is called a tooth for a tooth.
"Okay, as long as you can make the people of the West please suffer from the plight of poverty, it's worth doing anything" Xiju also figured it out, neither method may be successful, but at least the method proposed by Asakura is close at hand, and there are people to help, so it should be regarded as a last battle.
"The people of the western country will remember you, and I have probably thought about it, the land of your western country is vast, but the land is barren, but it does not prevent you from raising horses, cattle and sheep, etc., to be honest, the horses in the south are indeed not as strong as your western country, and when the time comes, the western country will become a part of the southern country, and the exchanges will be closer, and the circulation of goods on both sides will be a good thing for everyone" Asakura continued to speak to comfort the western country.
Hearing this, Xiju nodded more firmly, and his eyes were also bright, as if the bright future of the people of Xiguo had become a reality.
A few people have already discussed, and they have formulated a route, although it is a little later than taking the avenue to Wangcheng, but at least it is safe, especially with this nationally wanted criminal Xiju, not to mention that a few of them killed more than a dozen soldiers, it is estimated that the Xiguo is more heavily guarded at this time.
Later, I learned from the mouth of the king of the west that several ministers who did not support the attack on the southern kingdom had basically been hollowed out, and it was estimated that they could only start the role of a war of words, but at least they could drive some ministers to not have such a big shock when they were transposed.
There is another one who has military power in hand, but there are not many, and he is also a general of the Western Kingdom, and he did not go to attack the southern country this time, but stayed in the royal city to be responsible for the safety of the royal city, it is said that it was because he did not agree to attack the southern country, but Simon did have few useful people in his hands, so he did not unload this person's military power.
Therefore, this person is the key target, and he is responsible for the security of the royal city, which is equivalent to his people from all over the royal city.
There was no stop along the way, a few people finally arrived at Wangcheng after a month, Wangcheng is more prosperous than the rest of the towns, everywhere is full of lights, like a festival like a lively person, there are a lot of marriages, a few people settled in a restaurant in Wangcheng, and when they eat upstairs, they watch the sedan chair come and go.
"This, boss, today, is it a good day? Why are there so many people getting married, it seems that they are still in a hurry," Asakura asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
"Oh, this is not an order from the king a few days ago, saying that the general election will be held in 30 days, to enrich the harem, all women over the age of 16 who have not married must participate in the election, and the farther ones will probably start screening earlier, so ah, those who don't want their own girls to go to the palace are in a hurry to marry their own girls, so there is such a look on the street, don't you know?" The shopkeeper is a little strange, along the way, it should be about the same.
"Well, we didn't pay attention until we were here."
"Well, even the ministers of the court, Bao Shi's family, are setting up a ring to compete today, so the streets are deserted, and they all went to try their luck," the shopkeeper continued.
"That's right," Sakura and the others looked at each other. This treasure time, isn't it the person who is responsible for the safety of the royal city, the competition to recruit relatives, there is something to see. "Let's go check it out after eating."
Everyone agreed, and they all hastened to eat.
After paying the money, several people went to the place where the competition was recruited.
This is the first time I have seen a real martial arts competition, the three layers inside and the three layers outside are full of people, the high bench is covered with a red carpet, and there are flower balls made of red cloth on both sides, anyway, it is very festive, but I don't know if this girl from the Baoshi family looks good or not.
"Eh, why don't you go up and try it, maybe you can still hold the beauty," Sakura said with a smile.
"I'm going to go," Nangong Mingyu said with a blank look.
"I'm still a woman after all, it's not good to go like this."
At this time, a woman dressed in purple women's clothes walked up from behind the ring, with a lot of pigtails on her head, and walked to the stage with both hands and fists and said, "I am the second female Bao Ju of this competition to recruit relatives, there are no other requirements, if you win me, you can enter the Bao family, first explain that it is a big deal, so people who don't want to be rich just flash aside and see the excitement"
"Beautiful too" Sakura said as she looked at the woman on the stage, she was the type she liked, she was good-looking, and proud, not as soft and weak as ancient women.
"No matter how beautiful you are," Nangong Mingyu said.
Well, Sakura didn't hear it.
After a while, the competition began, and the first one to jump up was a very burly man, and after a few words with Baoju, he fought, I thought that this big man would win, at least the difference in size was too big, but that Baoju pulled out a thousand pounds in four or two, and simply threw this big man out of the ring.
"Who else?" Baoji stood majestically in the ring and asked towards the bottom of the crowd.
After a while, another person came up, who seemed to be a kung fu type, and he hadn't beaten Bao Ju, and was kicked into the crowd by Bao Ju.
In fact, Baoju's kung fu is not very powerful, it can only be said that there is no powerful person in this royal city, and the few people in the light cherry are also happy to watch a good show, in fact, it is also a pleasure to watch others being beaten.
After a long time, there was no answer in the crowd, and a heavy voice came from the back of the crowd, and when Baoju stood on the stage, when he saw the comer clearly, his face sank, and panic flashed
