Chapter Eighty-Seven: Preparing for the City and Defending Zhu Tihou Borrowed People to Try Sincerity and Wu Weiyi to Seek Seal
I saw that this Zhu Tihou sighed, and only lowered his head and pondered. showed a sad face, and he was at a loss. At this time, Du Yu opened up with him again:
"Uncle doesn't need to be too alarmed, although the thief is cunning and brave, but after all, the time in Shu is still short, and he must not be able to convince the public! β¦β¦ Besides, uncle, an important town in southern Shunan, is also easy to defend and difficult to attack! Uncle only needs to work together with the city defense soldiers, and he will definitely be able to ensure that Zhu Tiguan is safe...... As long as Yu'er asks for reinforcements from Yelang, and then gets the help of the rest of the Shu Central Departments, Yu'er believes that it will be able to regroup my Shu country, expel the thieves, and restore the foundation of my Shu country! β
Zhu Tihou heard Du Yu's words and insisted on going to Yelang, but he felt a little pity. But considering that his own strength is not as good as that of confronting the Naba people now, he doesn't dare to think about anything else.
"Hey...... All right! Yu'er...... I think you were originally the pearl of the previous king, and you were born to be pampered...... But I never thought that today's Yu'er, whether in terms of courage or strategy, is better than your father and the blue! Wow...... The king of Shu ...... What a good daughter! β
After Zhu Tihou finished speaking, he saw that he suddenly raised the wine bottle, which was to toast Wu Weiyi. But I saw that Wu Weiyi was sitting on Du Yu's side seat, and he was staring at the silver bowl!
Mr. Wu...... Mr. Wu?! β
only heard that Zhu Tihou called twice in a row, and only then did Wu Weiyi return to God.
"Oh...... Did Master Hou call me? β
Zhu Tihou looked in the direction that Fang Cai Wu Weiyi was looking at, but saw that this Wu Weiyi Fang Cai was actually staring at a pair of silver bowls of the gods that he had stored in the hall. Just when this Wu Weiyi is also a person who is greedy for small wealth, he smiled and said to him:
"Mr. Wu really has some eyesight! β¦β¦ This set of bowls is also quite promising! Our Zhu Tiguan can also be regarded as the main road of north-south trade! Therefore, there are often some Qiang people and Huren people going back and forth! And this silver bowl ...... In fact, the widow was also purchased from a huss trader...... It's a rare item! β¦β¦ Since Mr. Wu likes it, the widow will give this bowl to Mr. Wu! β
I saw that Zhu Tihou waved his hand to the side, and ordered someone to take down the silver bowl of the god and give it to Wu Weiyi to look at...... Seeing this, Wu Weiyi was really a little curious, so he picked up the bowl and looked at it.
I saw that the bottom of this silver bowl was decorated with a flower horn standing deer, and the antlers in this deer pattern silver bowl were spread out to the left and right, with four horns on each side, and the whole was flame-like! At the bottom of the bowl is a line of small letters, somewhat resembling the Latin letter "Zuavan".
"Judging by the appearance of this object, there is no doubt that it is a Persian antiquity! It's just that...... What is the origin of this 'hussar' in Zhu Tihou's mouth? β
Wu Weiyi couldn't help but be a little curious, so he immediately asked Zhu Tihou:
"Huh...... Wu was just curious, but he didn't hide it, but he was very interested in these antiquities. Now that I am fortunate enough to see it, I am already content...... However, dare to ask Hou Ye, where did the 'hussar' mentioned by Hou Ye come from? β
When Zhu Tihou heard Mr. Wu's question, he replied to him:
"Hehe, you have lived in the north for a long time, but you don't know anything about the southern boundary here. From Zhutiguan to the south, it is the boundary of Yelang, but now Yelang is divided into two parts: east and west. The southwest of this night is the boundary of the Huren land. It's just that...... More than a decade ago, these hussars were attacked by Magadha, farther west. As a result, these people had nowhere else to go, but to wander to the land of the Hundred Pus, either to wander around as a trader or to commit themselves as slaves. β
After hearing this, Wu Weiyi suddenly realized, and secretly thought in his heart:
"I see! I think that these 'Pun Realms' should be the 'Elephant Country' contained in the "Historical Records"! I just didn't think about it...... As a result, these people are now being destroyed by Magadha. Second, these husmen would come here thousands of miles to resell Zoroastrian silverware...... I'm afraid, there is another article in this! β
Wu Weiyi thought about this, but he was stunned. Zhu Tihou saw that this Mr. Wu was now thinking about it with a dumbfounded appearance, but he was a little embarrassed, so he opened his mouth and said to him again:
Mr. Wu...... Mr. Wu's talent was also heard of some time ago...... It is rumored that Mr. Wu is a god descending from heaven, but the widow still didn't believe it at that time. However, it was an eye-opener to be able to see the gentleman's talent with his own eyes yesterday! β¦β¦ Come! In order to thank Mr. Wu for saving his life, the widow will do it first as a respect! β¦β¦β
Afterwards, Zhu Tihou drank all the wine in the bottle, and then only heard him ask Wu Weiyi again:
"Mr. Wu, but I don't know what Mr. Wu's plans are in the future?"
When Wu Weiyi heard it, he didn't know for a while what Zhu Tihou meant by this? I had to reply to him respectfully:
"If you go back to the Hou Ye, Wu Mou is here, so naturally he wants to follow Her Royal Highness the princess to Yelang to ask for help."
After hearing this, Zhu Tihou turned his head sideways again and discussed with Du Yu:
"Yu'er, the widow now has a reluctant request, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Uncle, where is this, Uncle just cares, but it doesn't hurt to speak."
Zhu Tihou stroked his beard, only to see him said very anxiously:
"Hey...... It's really ashamed to say that this Zhu Tiguan has not been in battle for a long time, and the widows know that their garrison is insufficient, especially the north gate city defense, which is actually dilapidated! And the one the widow relied on before has always been the rebel who committed rebellion...... If you want to talk about this rebel, the whole army does have some skills, but it never builds city defenses...... And now, the morale of the army in the city is fluctuating, and the city defense is lax...... The widow was therefore worried that if the Ba people invaded at this time...... According to the current situation, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed in an instant...... So I also want to ask Mr. Wu to share the worries of the widow...... I don't know what Yu'er thinks? β
As soon as Zhu Tihou said this, the three of them were taken aback. When they came, they never imagined that this Zhu Tihou would make such a request! But seeing that the three of them were looking at each other at this time, they were a little at a loss. And Wu Weiyi naturally felt that this matter was extremely inappropriate, so he opened his mouth and replied to Zhu Tihou:
"Master Hou, this matter is indeed extremely important...... Merely...... If Her Royal Highness the princess goes to Yoro alone...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? β
"Oh...... As for this matter, Mr. Wu doesn't have to worry, the widow will send someone to escort the princess all the way. It's only a dozen days away from Yelang, and there won't be any big mess if you think about it. β
Wu Weiyi and Du Yu listened, but they glanced at each other in unison. The two of them are now supporting each other to get here, but how can they be separated easily? Especially Du Yu, the only reason why she can persist this way is probably only Wu Weiyi. If she is allowed to go to Yelang alone, this kind of parting can be described as a salary for her!
At this moment, he heard Mo Zhai sitting at the bottom of the table and laughed inexplicably.
Seeing this, Zhu Tihou, Wu Weiyi and Du Yu were all a little puzzled by Mo Zhai's laughter...... But seeing that at this time, Mo Zhai actually said to Zhu Tihou again:
"Master Hou, this chicken killing is using a knife? Zhai Bucai, but he has also learned a lot of skills from Mr. Wu. In my humble opinion, this matter is not difficult. In only 15 days, it will be possible for the Hou Ye to close the north gate of this Zhu Ti and build it into a Jincheng soup pool! No matter how those Ba people can fight in battle, they don't want to step into this Zhu Ti Pass! β
Zhu Tihou looked down at the seat, only to see that the person who spoke was just a black-faced ghost, and seeing his appearance, he was still somewhat similar to those hussar traffickers! It's not very old, but it's fourteen or fifteen years old. Now he is ashamed to say that he wants to help Zhu Tihou defend the city!
This Zhu Tihou has always liked to judge people by their appearance, but when he heard this, he said with some contempt to Mo Zhai:
"Oh? β¦β¦ Dare to ask who this is? β¦β¦ But I don't know if I really have such a ability? β
When Wu Weiyi heard this, he immediately introduced him on the side:
"This person is Wu's protΓ©gΓ©, Mo's name is Zhai, this person is indeed a craftsman in the agency, and he can be responsible for guarding the city...... Hou Ye, in Wu's view, you might as well do this, the two of us are using these fifteen days to solve the problem of the city defense here for Hou Ye, and then go south to Yelang, what does Hou Ye think? If this is the case, Hou Ye can also lie down in Zhuti Pass safely, and we can also go to Yelang with peace of mind. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?! β
When Zhu Tihou heard this, Mr. Zhiwu had already agreed to prepare the important task of defending the city for him. I couldn't help but be overjoyed, but I saw that he got up all of a sudden, and hurriedly called:
"Really?! If that's the case! The widow is grateful for Mr. Wu's kindness! β¦β¦ After the deed is completed, the widow will definitely reward you heavily! β¦β¦β
Just listen to Zhu Tihou's ecstatic laughter! At this moment, Wu Weiyi said to him again:
"But...... This city...... Although the two of us have a way to build, but now that time is pressing, Wu has the courage to borrow something from Hou Ye. I don't know if it's possible? β
When Zhu Tihou learned that his city defense was now settled, he was already overjoyed! Moreover, he only thought that Wu Weiyi had taken a fancy to some rare treasure, but he just opened his mouth and said:
"Huh...... Mr. Wu can just speak, as long as it is a few people! It doesn't hurt to take them all! β
"Wu wants to borrow the Hou Ye's seal ribbon for use!"
"Huh?! The widow's marquis's seal? This...... How can this be made! β¦β¦ Printers, test also! Seeing the seal is like seeing a widow, how can you easily allow someone?! β
When Zhu Tihou heard that Wu Weiyi actually wanted to borrow his own seal, he suddenly turned from joy to sorrow, revealing a look of astonishment, and he didn't know what Wu Weiyi was up to!
"Master Hou! Wu borrowed the seal ribbon of the Hou Ye, not for personal use, but actually for the sake of the Hou Ye! There are three reasons for borrowing the ribbon. First, it is now the defense of the city, and it is imminent. Therefore, it is necessary to plan and dispatch the power of the whole people in Zhuti Pass to achieve it, but Wu is neither a clan relative nor a retainer. What basis does Wu have to make Zhu Tiguan work together to reject foreign enemies? Second, my generation is good at guarding, and Hou Ye respects it, which is enough to show the name of Hou Ye's courtesy. Therefore, Wu Mou borrowed the seal ribbon to show people, which is actually to show the virtue of the Hou Ye! Third, when the time is extraordinary, the generals who guard the pass see the seal ribbon is like seeing the Hou Ye, then the corporals and soldiers under his command are all used by the Hou Ye, not by others. Therefore, as long as the seal ribbon is not lost, even if Wu goes south at that time, Hou Ye will have no worries! ...... These three are all plotted by Wu for Hou Ye, and I hope Hou Ye will think twice! β
