After two rounds of running, Wei Ziheng and Zhong Ren finally returned to the camp of King Yue, and it was already dark when they dismounted.

King Yue did not live long, and ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner party early to welcome Wei Ziheng and Zhong Ren.

Wei Ziheng, seeing the ceremony of the royal family in front of him, was suddenly a little frightened: "King Yue, you are too polite." ”

Yue Wang Bushou waved his hand and said, "This is as it should be, please sit down!" The place next to me is reserved for you. ”

Wei Ziheng, I really didn't expect that his current status would make Yue Wang Bushou attach so much importance to it, although it has the meaning of wooing, but I have to say that Bushou still has some means in terms of talent. If it had been someone else, I would have been convinced.

The dinner was hearty, but not many were able to enjoy it. In addition to the three of them, there was also a general of the Yue royal army, and in the corner, there was also a man in a black robe, and his face could not be seen clearly with his head down.

The general behaved very enthusiastically, and first raised his glass and said: "Gongzi Wei, Zai Xia is just a rude martial artist, I hope to help King Yue more in the future, Zai Xia is grateful." ”

"That's how it should be, general, please use it slowly." Regarding etiquette, Wei Ziheng must not be neglected. In this world that pays attention to the law and etiquette, the slightest mistake in etiquette is often an important contradiction. In history, the monarch of one country neglected the monarch of another country in etiquette and was warned, which shows how important etiquette is, whether it is the Zhou royal family or the princes everywhere, no one will ignore such an important etiquette.

The five people in the tent were happy, toasting each other and talking at the same time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Wei Ziheng raised his glass and said to the black-robed man: "I don't know the name of the seniors, we work together with King Yue, and I hope to be honest with each other." ”

The man in black slowly raised his head, held a glass of wine, and said in a somewhat strange voice: "Don't misunderstand Wei Gongzi, I am not a person who serves King Yue, just a collaborator. ”

"Are you from Chu?" Wei Ziheng listened to the language with the local accent of the Chu State, and said this in his manners.

Yue Wang Bushou clapped his hands and said with appreciation: "Wei Gongzi, he is really not an ordinary person, and such details have been perceived by you." This one, named Nanshan, is the leader of Yunmeng of the Chu State. ”

Wei Ziheng, who was so frightened that the wine in the cup almost spilled, what kind of news is this, Yunmeng, this prestige not only dominates the south, but also shocks the Central Plains. Founded by the Chu royal family himself, the power is wide, all over the Chu country, the number of personnel is unknown to anyone, and the strength is unfathomable. And the leader of this powerful force actually appeared in the camp of King Yue Bushou. It's kind of incredible.

Wei Ziheng, relieved himself, smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't expect you to be Nanshan, the leader of Yunmeng, I heard about your prestige in the rivers and lakes in the past, and I didn't want to see each other now." It's a bit of a faux pas. ”

Nanshan sat up straight at this time, lifted the brim of the hat on his head, and revealed his face, Wei Ziheng felt even more incredible at this time, this Nanshan was still a woman. But the voice that spoke just now was a male voice full of energy, how could it be like this?

I saw this Nanshan cough lightly twice, and then let out an extremely delicate female voice: "You don't have to be surprised, I naturally need some means to walk the rivers and lakes, and I am proficient in this kind of voice changing skill." ”

Seeing the expression of Yue Wang Bushou, he seemed to already know, and Zhong Ren and the general also looked as shocked as Wei Ziheng.

Wei Ziheng secretly sighed, sure enough, the world is so big, there are no surprises, such strange things have never been heard of, but when I was reading ancient books, I heard about some similar things, and I didn't want to appear in front of reality. Wei Ziheng couldn't help but smile: "Yunmeng is really mysterious, making it difficult to distinguish male and female in the next time." ”

Nanshan smiled very charmingly on the side, I don't know why, at such a close distance, it is still a little difficult to distinguish, Nanshan's specific face, as if there is a faint layer of white mist shrouded in front of Nanshan, looming, but it can still be seen that this Nanshan's face should also be a peerless beauty.

Yue Wang Bushou explained from the seat: "Recently, it happened that Nanshan was in the Gusu area, so I just invited her over, and for the seizure of power we planned, there is actually a part of Yunmeng's support. ”

Sure enough, when Wei Ziheng first heard the name Nanshan, he had already thought that this would be the result. But is it a good thing or a bad thing that the country's internal affairs are supported by other countries in this way? Perhaps Yunmeng will indeed be a great help in the operation, and the information collected by their huge personnel intelligence system will never be bad. But at the same time, if the leader of Yunmeng, Nanshan, can personally sit with King Yue Bushou, this must have a bigger bargaining chip. At the same time, since Yunmeng has gone deep into this, it must be more or less influenced by the Chu royal family.

Thinking of this, Wei Ziheng couldn't help but begin to analyze, the current situation of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty, with the Yue Kingdom as the center, the eastern coastal location is excellent, and the south is the ancient land of Baiyue, with miasma and fierce beasts, and there is no threat. And there is a powerful Qi country in the north, a few years ago there was a war, the relationship between the two countries is not harmonious, when the king of Yue went north to meet the princes, the king of Qi is the most unhappy one. And the great power of Chu in the west has always been a strong enemy. However, the state of Qin, west of the Central Plains, gradually became stronger, causing great danger in the northwest direction of the state of Chu, and became a major obstacle for the state of Chu to enter the Central Plains.

Now, the state of Wu has been destroyed, to a certain extent, it is also a great favor to the state of Chu, after the readjustment of the national strategic deployment, the state of Chu should actively talk and reconcile with the state of Yue. After all, there is not much to do with each other, and cooperation seems to be a natural thing. Presumably, Yun Meng also saw the current crisis of the Vietnamese government. The princes and ministers still hoped to expand their territory and get back a little land from the Chu State. In this case, it seems reasonable that the leader of Yunmeng personally came out to assist King Yue Bushou in seizing power. Doing so is also in line with the strategy of the Chu State since ancient times. What's more, it is still a strong country to cross now, and the battle on the border, if Hua Qi's life is not stopped, I am afraid that the Chu State will lose some territory on the border, but if it can have a good relationship with its king, it will be a good thing for the future of the Chu State.

Thinking of this, it seems that everything is a little clear, and it is precisely because of the existence of Yunmeng that Yue Wang Bushou dares to recruit talents so positively!

Nanshan also opened his mouth at this time and said: "King Yue, the general of Hua Qi ordered to send troops to the border fortress this time, I don't know what your plans are?" ”

Wei Ziheng had already informed him of the details of his two trips before, and King Yue Bushou said while enjoying the food in front of him: "I have never been so comfortable in the palace as I am now, let me be a little out of shape." As for Hua Qi's life, this Wei Gongzi next to me has successfully installed a person loyal to me by his side. This person should be reliable, his name is Yu Renzhi, and I believe that Yunmeng should understand. ”

After Nanshan heard the news, he not only nodded: "Yu Renzhi, King Yue is very wise, I also think that this person is worthy of appointing a big matter, I don't know where this son is from?" has such a talent, and it is deeply used by the king of Yue. ”

Wei Ziheng remembered his identity and did not disclose it publicly: "In Xia Wei Ziheng, a native of Yecheng in the Jin Kingdom, he came to Yue Country since he was a child, followed Mr. Sun Chi to learn art, and only went down the mountain some time ago. ”

"It turned out to be a disciple of Mr. Sun Chi, and he really had some talent, but he was a little clumsy." Nanshan's tone of speech is very unique, switching back and forth between two different voices of men and women, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, which sounds different.

Speaking of Mr. Sun Chi, Yue Wang Bushou also sighed and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Sun Chi's service to Wu Meng, I would have personally asked him to go out of the mountain, but now I can get the help of his disciples, I am also satisfied." ”

At this time, Nanshan actually thought about it a little, and seemed to be thinking about something in his mouth: "A native of Yecheng in the Jin Kingdom, could it be that this Wei Gongzi belongs to the Wei Qing clan among the six secretaries of the Jin Kingdom." ”

"Don't hide it from Lord Nanshan, it is indeed below." This is the first time that someone has directly broken his family, Wei Ziheng looked at Nanshan with a smile on his face, watching her every move.

But it seems that Nanshan is like receiving information, and after learning the news, he stopped talking. It reverted to its previous state of silence.

At this time, the general said to his king, "King Yue, I have something to ask for. ”

"Say it."

"I don't know if I can expand the size of the royal guards under my command." This general gave his opinion.

After hearing this suggestion, Yue Wang Bushou readily agreed: "I also have this intention, but the specific matters may be a little complicated." The selection of the royal guard is quite strict, and if you want to expand the scale, you must lower the requirements. But at present, we are surrounded by people who we are committed to cultivating trustworthy people, and if we mix in some people with bad intentions, I am afraid that it will affect our actions. ”

Wei Ziheng heard the news, slowly drank the rather sweet wine, and savored it carefully.

The general continued: "Having said that, it is in itself a very dangerous thing to camp in a place far from the capital as we are now, and in order to be able to successfully carry out the plan against the prime minister in the future, there is absolutely not enough manpower at present. ”

Regarding the number of people, Yue Wang Bushou has not thought of it. The joining of the Black Tiger Gang can only be said to be assisted as an external force, and at the critical moment, it still can't enter the Yue King's Palace for half a step, so how to strengthen its own strength. King Yue was not shou, turned to Wei Ziheng and asked, "I don't know, what does Wei Gongzi think?" ”

Wei Ziheng thought for a while and said, "At least we don't have to worry about it now. As for how to strengthen the interior, I am afraid that we still need to secretly seize some of the military power. We can wait until we return to Langya to make plans. The expansion of the Guards will inevitably attract the attention and vigilance of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and in my opinion, it is better to maintain the status quo. ”

When the general heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, nodded and said: "It is worthy of being a famous teacher and a high apprentice, and Wei Gongzi's opinion is really extraordinary." I was taught under it. ”

At this time, Ren also spoke: "In addition to the Black Tiger Gang, maybe I have the ability to gather some people on the rivers and lakes to secretly protect King Yue. ”

Speaking of this Nanshan, he suddenly said with great interest: "I don't know, how much appeal Zhongren Daxia has." ”

Zhong Ren smiled very simply, and said, "The scale is naturally not as large as Yunmeng, but I believe that to assist the Moon King in seizing power, these people should probably be more than enough." ”

"I don't know who it is." Looking at Nanshan's hazy expression, it seemed that she was very interested in this information.

Zhong Ren paused for a moment and said slowly, "I guess you should have heard of the Sword Pavilion. This Jianghu sect, which is quite famous in the Central Plains, has some intersections with me, so it shouldn't be difficult to ask them for help? ”

"Oh, I see." The expression on Nanshan's face gradually became a little cold, and her voice gradually became a little heavy and hoarse.
