Ji Mo, the younger brother of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although he is old, his physical condition in recent years seems to be stronger than before. Many people who are familiar with him feel very strange and do not understand what makes this royal nobleman who is worried about state affairs more and more signs of rejuvenation.

The legend of rejuvenation in ancient times, naturally no one has seen it with their own eyes. But the people of Los Angeles saw Zimmer getting younger and younger. And not only him, but even the Great Zhou Tianzi, who used to live in legends, occasionally appeared in front of his subjects. It's no wonder that people can't help but sigh that compared to a peaceful environment, it can really reduce the speed of aging.

And unlike the ordinary people outside, perhaps only the most confidant can truly understand the helplessness and melancholy in Zimmer's heart.

The demise of this dynasty was inevitable. Its prosperity and influence are only reflected in the land of Los Angeles, and even Zhongzhou can no longer be taken care of. This royal city is like a lonely old man, his body and limbs are no longer able to move, and he can only watch life pass little by little with eyes full of vicissitudes until he enters the countdown.

The prosperity maintained by the strong support of a prince may be just a dream. Those who know the real situation know that there are prerequisites for the King of Zhao, who is already enough to shake the world, to give Luo Cheng such an honorable status. That is, he needs to use the name of the Son of Heaven as a sharp edge of the tip of his long sword. For the young man who was far away in the north, in the hearts of some of the most loyal elders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his emotions were actually very complicated. So much so that in the past few years, they don't know how to face it.

And the main thing is that they are divided into two opinions, which have been arguing in secret, and in the end they have not been able to form a unity. Some royal nobles have been keenly aware of the mortal danger that King Zhao may pose to them in the future. If fate is controlled by such a powerful person, who can guarantee whether it will be a blessing or a curse? Another view disagrees. They believed that without the strong support of the Zhao State, it would not be possible to say that the Great Zhou royal family would have perished long ago. Even in the last few years, it has been difficult to get through.

In fact, if you are serious about it, both of these opinions are reasonable. Since the end of the Battle of Zhongzhou, the balance of power among the princes of the world has changed significantly. The military power of the Zhao State firmly controlled the surroundings of Zhongzhou. On the one hand, it ensured the absolute security of Los Angeles, but on the other hand, it almost cut off most of the other princes' contacts with the Great Zhou royal family in Los Angeles. Although even in the past, they did not have much obedience and respect for the royal family, but after all, on major festivals, important envoys would be sent to pay tribute. It was one of the few lively moments in Los Angeles. Now, few people dare to come. This, of course, will make some royal nobles feel a little lost.

However, there are also places where almost everyone feels satisfied. That is, the affluence of Los Angeles is increasing day by day. In just a few years, it has almost become the most important gathering center for businessmen in the world. From the north gate of Los Angeles to the Luo River ferry, this area with a radius of dozens of miles has become a meeting place for the flow of goods and goods from the east, west, north and south. This section of the Luo River has also become the busiest river. The former desolate river beach has become the most important commodity wharf. This was unthinkable before.

The benefits of such a change to Los Angeles are immeasurable. If you only look at the liveliness of this aspect, it seems that it has regained its status as the center of the world. I don't know what the king of Zhao thinks, such a huge wealth circulation place, he didn't try his best to set it up in the territory of Zhao State, but deliberately gave all kinds of convenient conditions, and even did not hesitate to use military force as a backing to ensure the smooth operation of the Luohe ferry, a commercial circulation place. Could he really benefit from this?

This kind of question is what countless people who have doubts want to know. And for the people of Los Angeles, who have benefited from it, they don't care so much. They only know that their wealth has increased and their lives are better, and that is enough. And the object of gratitude in their hearts is naturally the one who brought all this!

"What an unexpected! I haven't been back to Los Angeles for a few years, and it has changed so much. I got off the boat from the Luohe Wharf and saw the scene of shops and goods piling up over there, even if it was compared to the Donghai County of Qi State, it was not too much! Uncle Wang, seeing that you look so good, you must not have to worry about the various uses of the royal family anymore, right? ”

It was the afternoon, and the faint slanting sun shone warmly on people. Gongzi retracted his gaze from outside the observation hall, and looked at Ji Mo who was sitting in the chief with a relieved expression, he had a lot to say to him, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

There was also a lot of relief in Zimmer's eyes. This banquet was specially prepared by him for Gongzi Jiao. The prince of the royal family, who had returned from the Kingdom of Zhao, came here after visiting his father. Ji Mo really wanted to hear everything he had seen in Zhao from Gongzi's mouth. It was still early, and he had plenty of time and patience.

"I don't have to worry about my body, your father's hidden illness is gradually recovering. It's just that he's getting older, so you'll have to stay by his side more in the future...... There are some things I don't need to say, I guess you understand, right? ”

Zimmer raised his glass and dipped his lips slightly. He rarely drinks as much as he used to. Although spirits taste good, we should take care of our bodies. Whatever the reason, he had to carry the burden until someone shared it for him. And the son in front of him is undoubtedly the person he likes the most.

Gongzi Jie naturally understood what this Uncle Wang's words meant. It's just that an imperceptible wry smile flashed under his eyes. In fact, deep down, he didn't want to do that according to the expectations of his father or Uncle Zimmer. The royal nobleman, who has been away from Los Angeles for nearly five years, has been following the side of Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao. Whether it is in Zhao Kingdom or following him around, seeing everything he has done with his own eyes, Gongzi Jie has become more and more convinced that King Zhao, who is about the same age as him, is definitely a person with heavenly opportunities! There are some things, if God is destined to do that, why go against the sky? However, he deeply understood Uncle Wang's infinite hopes, but when the time was not ripe, he couldn't bear to say too much and let him down. Therefore, he can only be vague and deliberately cover up the past.

"Uncle Wang, King Zhao has confirmed that he will come to Los Angeles before the end of this month to participate in the birthday celebration of the Son of Heaven at the beginning of next month! He specially asked me to come back early to help Uncle Wang plan a suitable situation. ”

"Huh! I knew he was coming, and it wouldn't disappoint. It's just that now that the situation in the north is tense, it really won't have any impact if he leaves Dragon City easily? ”

When Zimmer heard what Gongzi said exactly, he finally let go of his heart. Chu Jiangmian hadn't been to Los Angeles for more than five years. The Great Zhou Dynasty really needed a grand ceremony to let the people of the world know about the existence of the royal family and the Son of Heaven. And Chu Jiangmian being able to come in person is undoubtedly the most important weight. Hearing his concern, Childe shook his head slightly, a smile on his face. After such a long period of experience, he has taken off the habits of a royal nobleman, become more mature and calm, and look at problems more profoundly. But no one knew that all these changes were caused by staying by King Zhao's side.

"Uncle Wang, rest assured. As far as I know, King Zhao has already made proper arrangements. The strength of Zhao's army is no longer something that can be easily offended. If those Hu people don't know whether they are alive or dead...... I'm afraid I'm going to die a terrible death this time! Hehe! ”

Speaking of these, Gongzi Jiao's eyes obviously radiated a confident light, as if he was a member of the Zhao army, and he deeply understood his strength. Zimmer was keenly aware of his change, and sighed inwardly. King Zhao's influence is really irresistible, and even this noble son of the Great Zhou royal family has obviously become his admirer.

"If that's the case, we naturally don't have to worry about King Zhao. Although the Hu people were brutal and brutal, they lacked strategic planning after all. When encountering a character like King Zhao, I'm afraid it's really bad luck...... Well, that's not to mention for now. You have come from the north, and have you known the recent movements of the princes? ”

Gongzi Jie naturally knew which of the "princes" mentioned by Uncle Wang were. He pondered for a moment, and began to report everything he knew to Zimmer in detail.

For several years, although Zhongzhou has been calm, the rest of the world is still in turmoil. While ambitious people secretly accumulate strength, they inevitably see every opportunity to expand outward. There is no need to elaborate on some of the contests and gradual encroachments in the dark. And the recent major event is undoubtedly that the Qin State swallowed up the neighboring Shu State in one gulp.

“…… Uncle Wang, the fall of Shu is likely to be the beginning of the next round of large-scale wars. In the past few years, the Qin State has cleared all obstacles in the rear and southwest. Whether it is the barbarians in the northwest desert or those indigenous peoples in the southwest mountains, they have all been conquered by the Qin army. These powers also belonged to the command of King Qin and were used by him. In this way, the Qin State has been rapidly expanded both in terms of territory and military strength...... After the fall of Wei and Shu one after another, to this day, the two strongest princes in the world, Qin and Zhao, have become neighboring countries. In the future, any minor border conflict could become the trigger for the start of the next big war between the two countries. And once the war between Qin and Zhao broke out, it was time for all the princes in the world to stand in line, including our Great Zhou royal family, and ...... make the final choice. ”

After Gongzi finished speaking calmly, Zimmer's mood involuntarily became heavy. Outside the palace, spring is shining and everything is recovering. Who would have imagined the infinite danger lurking in this?
