In a secluded mansion in the southwest corner of Luoyi City, a woman in scarlet clothes gently grabbed the arm of a middle-aged scribe and begged with some distress: "Is Sir going to travel far again?" ”

The middle-aged scribe touched the green silk of the scarlet woman lovingly, and nodded, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Sir, can you not go?" The woman in scarlet struggled for a long time, plucked up the courage and said, "Just think it's for Xue'er!" ”

The scribe suddenly raised his head, lifted the woman's chin, stared at her, and softly assured, "This time, I promise not to leave you!" Shrewd! Wait for me at home, I'll be back in less than a month! When the time comes, I will bring your favorite osmanthus cake, definitely! ”

The woman in scarlet clothes smiled, the most beautiful flowers in the world bloomed on her face, and said with concern: "That gentleman is careful all the way, Chu Guo is so miasma!" If Mr. doesn't come when it's due, Cher will definitely go south to visit Mr.! ”

The middle-aged scribe's heart softened, and something called emotion in the deepest part of his heart completely dispersed. He walked forward with his back to the woman in scarlet clothes, and with a wave of his hand, he flashed into the carriage at once, for fear that he would not be able to leave if his heart was soft.

"Drive!" The long-awaited coachman threw out a beautiful whip flower, and the horse moved forward, creaking and creaking all the way south.

The woman in scarlet looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, and her heart was indescribably melancholy and depressed. Even though she repeatedly stood on tiptoe, the carriage eventually turned around the corner and disappeared from view.

"Madame, let's go in! Now that the world is at war, there will be no risk if you want to come to the lord and go to Ying! The slave on the side said with relief.

The woman in scarlet smiled bitterly, but she didn't refute it. She knew that less than a hundred miles out of the city by carriage was the land of South Korea, and South Korea was one of the most powerful countries in the world! I think that my husband will not encounter any danger in Sanchuan and Nanyang counties. What she was most worried about was the journey of Hanshui, where her husband only had two guards and a scholar by his side. The people of Chu have been poor for a long time, and they dare not do anything to the people in the government, but they are not sure if they will attack the passers-by.

"Ahem!" The woman in the scarlet dress coughed suddenly, her strength was so great, her face suddenly turned red. The slave maid on the side was obviously frightened, and hurriedly handed a black pill to the woman in scarlet clothes. At the same time, he served a bowl of tea and said hurriedly: "Madame, eat it quickly!" ”

The woman in scarlet clothes tilted her head and threw her head, and the black pill had been swallowed like her stomach, and her movements were very skillful. After taking the pill, her breathing was noticeably smoother, and the flush on her face was not as scary as it had been.

"It's okay! It's an old problem! The woman in the scarlet shirt pointed at herself helplessly and said.

"Madame, let's hurry back to the house with the slave and maid! It's getting colder, beware of the cold! The slave and maid on the side were frightened and pleaded.

The woman nodded. No more words. The slave and maid followed the scarlet woman to turn around, and after a "bang", the small courtyard closed the door tightly, and also blocked the cold outside.

The middle-aged scribe's name is Su Dai, and many people may not know his name, but when it comes to his brother Su Qin, who has the seal of the Six Kingdoms, everyone suddenly understands.

In this life, he traveled to Qi, Yan, and Song countries. I want to learn from his ancient genius - clan brother Su Qin, with the benefit of his tongue. Seeking wealth, but unfortunately fate is not good, and wealth does not last. Xue'er was the little girl she rescued in an abandoned village in the Song Kingdom more than 20 years ago, when her chest was only a little warm, and the snow and corpses almost completely covered her, and everyone asserted that she would never survive. But she survived. Because of this opportunity, she learned that the little girl had lost her memory, and she named her Cher!

Although her body was greatly damaged because of the cold penetrating deep into the meridians, she survived after all. Years after that. She quickly grew from that skinny little girl to a slim big girl! God is fair, and although it takes away Cher's health, it gives her incomparable beauty.

Originally, Su Dai thought that it would be a blessing to be able to accompany Xue'er until he grew old. It's just that he didn't realize that such a small wish could become a luxury in this troubled world! The five kingdoms were in chaos, the Qi country was in turmoil, the two were separated, and after another five years, the two people who had been displaced met again!

The beauty of the lost and regained made the two of them grateful. Su Dai realized that the seven countries of the world were gearing up and eager to try, and the continuous war would not be burned out for decades. Luoyi, which is in the heart of the Central Plains, has become the most stable place. The two decided to move to Luoyi. This is the last city under Zhou Tianzi, and the others have long been divided between the Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou dukes. Even if all of them are combined, a hundred and ten miles of land does not arouse the slightest interest from the surrounding countries. Because of this, the vicinity of Nagaui has become a paradise without war.

After surviving the initial excitement, Sudai found that Cher's illness was getting worse day by day. When you are sick, you need to see a doctor, and because of Xue'er's illness, she needs expensive medicinal materials, and soon Su Dai is overstretched. Even if he was treated as a guest of honor by Zhou Tianzi, the impoverished Zhou Tianzi could no longer provide additional help except for the symbolic ten gold! After all, Zhou Tianzi is also poor! Speaking of which, if it weren't for South Korea's help, Zhou Tianzi would have been forced to go down to the field and plough the fields!

Fortunately, the envoy of the State of Qi came, and the middle doctor of the State of Qi, Diao Bo, opened his mouth to be a bargaining chip of two hundred gold, if Su Dai could persuade the State of Chu not to deal with the State of Qi, there would be another three hundred gold to send! If you can persuade Chu and Qin to form an alliance, it will be to send another five hundred gold!

No one can refuse such a large amount of money as a "bribe", especially for a person who is extremely short of money, this money makes people unable to say a "no"! Therefore, Sudai quickly agreed. Therefore, Su Dai had to put away his worries and go all the way south to promote the friendship between Chu and Qi! Because he knows that apart is for a better reunion.

The carriage moved forward gracefully, and first arrived at the important town of Yique, where Su Dai heard that Korea had taken Jiameng Pass at the cost of one gold, completely cutting off the connection between Shu County and Guanzhong. The Qin army of Shu County could only look at the pass opposite the pass on the old road in amazement, and had mixed feelings in his heart. He also knew that Tian Dan, who was famous all over the world, had been to Xinzheng a few days ago, and he came with a solemn face and left with a happy face.

Then he arrived at Wancheng, the county governor of Nanyang County. Here, Su Daiyuan originally knew the process of Korea's capture of Hanzhong County, and all he paid was the price of a few bowls of tea. The bloody battle of Yaoguan, the surprise attack of Hangu Pass. As his footprints deepened to the south, it became more and more clear in his mind.

After arriving at Yancheng, an important town in the north of Chu State, Su Dai and his entourage completely stepped into the territory of Chu State. It's just surprising that although Yancheng is only separated from Deng County in Nanyang by a distance of more than 100 miles, it seems to be another country thousands of miles away. The look on their faces, the clothes on their bodies, undoubtedly do not reveal their hungry lives. The most vivid thing is their somewhat desperate eyes, in their eyes, Su Dai can't see words like tomorrow. It was only when the occasional dignitaries drove by that they scrambled to beg for food and beg that they were still alive. The eyes in which they looked at the outsiders were full of vigilance, and the eyes in which they looked at the officials and soldiers were fearful. All of this is in stark contrast to Deng County, which is hundreds of miles away.

"Sir! They look like a bunch of dogs! The scholar said with some disgust.

Su Dai frowned in displeasure, and at this time, a son of an obviously rich and noble family appeared near Su Dai with eight or nine evil slaves, and he casually scattered some ant-nose money to attract beggars to rob him. While laughing wantonly: "Grab it!" You wretched! Hahaha! ”

The beggars don't care about their humiliation at all, or rather, they simply don't have time to refuse it, and their eyes are full of ant-nose money scattered all over the place. It's about food, it's about the chance to live. So they went crazy, and in the process of snatching, they didn't know who moved the stone first, and soon the scene became bloody! It's not just the antnose money that is spilled on the ground that is their target. Even the same kind of people who have picked up antnose money are their targets. Some of them bit with their teeth, some with their feet. Some were stoned, in short, everything was done, sneak attacks, scuffles, and before they fell, all of them were fanatical. The nearby Chu army and the servants turned a blind eye, but instead cast a disdainful and indifferent look. Finally. The rich and noble children who had seen enough of the farce left triumphantly, but before leaving, the words were drifting farther and farther, "It's still quite fun for this group of dogs to fight each other!" Master, I'll play again tomorrow! ”

Su Dai sighed, in this troubled world, human life is as cheap as grass! Rather for the peace dog. Not for troubled people! The state of Chu is already like this, if the monarchs and ministers are still very happy, it is really the way to die!

Continuing to the south, he was accustomed to the panic and defeat along the way, and he was accustomed to seeing the fish and meat towns of the yamen, and Su Dai's heart gradually became numb. When I arrived in Quan County, the situation was always better. Perhaps because of the proximity to Yingdu, there is always some earthly atmosphere here. At least what Su Dai saw was not all insensitive people, and from their eyes, Su Dai could at least see hope.

The Chu people are known for their perseverance, and as long as the king treats them well, they are grateful to Dade! It's a pity that the current King of Chu is a tiger-headed man after all, and after he was forced to move the capital to Chen County, he worked hard for three years before gradually disappearing with the initiative of the Qin State to send Yingdu. Although the frequency of conscription has decreased over the years, taxes have remained unabated and even increased.

After another two days, Su Dai's carriage finally drove into Yingdu. The most dangerous thing was that a group of "bandits" armed with wooden sticks and harpoons wanted to rob them, but under the "persuasion" of the long swords of the two guards, they deeply "realized their mistakes" and retreated into the mountains and forests.

Su Dai carefully looked at this ancient and prosperous city, the fire that started in white ten years ago burned Yingdu into ruins, although after the repair of Qin and Chu, you can still see the traces of the original. The people here are definitely not the same people as they were at the beginning, but the monarchs and ministers of Chu are still those people, and vaguely, Su Dai only felt a burst of irony.

"Sir! Yingdu is so dilapidated! The scholar on the side muttered quietly.

"Shhhh Beware of woe from the mouth! Don't forget, this is the royal city of Chu! Later, the people of Chu will trouble you, sir, I won't save you! Sudai joked.

"Ahh The scholar's face changed, and he quickly looked around, and after making sure that no one heard, he said with relief: "But sir! Yingdu is indeed not as prosperous as Xinzheng and Daliang! Can't even catch up with Linzi! ”

Su Dai smiled and said nothing, indeed, after Yingdu experienced that war, it was completely in ruins. Bai Qi of the Qin State is not such a soft-hearted person! Although the Qi State had the disaster of almost destroying the country, Linzi had also preserved half of it, unlike Yingdu. However, as long as the state of Chu is given ten years, or even only five or six years, the prosperity of Yingdu will be restored! Linzi may be shorter. It only takes two or three years!

After arriving in Yingdu, Su Dai did not visit the king of Chu or the minister of Chu at the first time. On the contrary, he wandered around Yingdu very patiently and investigated the customs and customs. At this point, Su Dai has the style of his clan brother Su Qin, and if he wants to hurry, he can't reach it, and he can better persuade Chu State when he is prepared. This first meeting was particularly important. If the people of Chu are very interested in this, then no matter how many times they talk in the future, they are afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the desired result.

Finally, two days later, after everything was fully prepared, Su Dai went to the Zuotu Mansion. Now everyone knows that Huang Xie is the favorite of the king of Chu, and even has a very good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Tong guò he came to take the upper route of the Chu state, Su Dai thought it was a very good idea. What's more, in the opinion of Sudai. Huang Xie can be described as a rare smart person in Chu who understands the overall situation and the general trend. It's always easy to talk to smart people.

When Su Daizhi handed over the prayer note with a scholar, Huang Xie's heart was full of surprise. Because speaking of which, Su Dai has not cared about the affairs of the world for several years. I heard that he is now Zhou Tianzi's guest, and from time to time he cooks wine and talks with Zhou Tianzi, so happy, how can he have leisure to come to Yingdu? Huang Xie didn't think that Su Dai was bored and came to drink and chat with him! After all. I have never had a friendship with Su Dai!

"Hmm, go and bring Mr. Su to the study! I have the right to change my clothes and go to the meeting again! Huang Xie thought for a moment. In the end, Su Dai was still not given too high a salary. First, he didn't understand Su Dai's intention, and wanted to use it to tempt; On the other hand, there is no meaning to get off the horse. After all, Su Dai is just a commoner now, and he is the left disciple of Chu State!

"Whoa!" The butler did not have the slightest doubt, and slowly retreated. Su Dai is a completely unfamiliar name to the housekeeper of Zuotu's Mansion. Look at each other's simple dress. The housekeeper directly characterized Su Dai as a kind of old friend who defected to Huang Xie. For these people, the butler thinks that he does not need to flatter!

Knowing that Huang Xie did not mean to half open the middle gate to greet him in person, Su Dai was not half ashamed. If he was the identity of King Yanzhao Keqing, he would naturally not be treated so rudely. But now he is just a commoner who travels in the mountains, and Huang Xie is willing to see him. It's already a rarity. Originally, Su Dai thought that he would have to spend some money to take care of it before he could meet!

Therefore, when Huang Xie was deliberately late, what he saw was a quiet Su Dai, a Su Dai who was quietly drinking tea, and a Su Dai who was not half annoyed.

"Rest and mundane things, let Mr. wait for a long time, sin and sin!" Huang Xie arched his hand and said a little apologetically. But looking closely at his eyes, it is clear that there is no sincerity in apologetic.

Su Dai smiled slightly, waved it, and arched his hand: "It's okay, it's okay!" Lord Zuo is willing to see me as a mountain villain, and he is already grateful in his heart! What's more, there is such a good tea reception, hehe. ”

Huang Xie naturally heard the meaning of the other party's soft belt steel, but he pretended not to know, and said curiously: "Isn't Mr. in Luoyi?" How did you travel nearly a thousand miles to my Yingdu? Could it be that there is something that can't be taught? ”

Su Dai put away his smile, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Su Dai came here this time for the great plan of the Chu State!" Come for the great plan of the King of Chu! ”

Seeing that Su Dai really had a plan, Huang Xie's heart settled down, and he asked with a respectful appearance: "But please give me advice!" ”

"Dare to ask Lord Zuo, who is the strongest and who is the weakest in the Warring States today?"

Su Dai's question could be described as aggressive, but Huang Xie replied in a deep voice: "Of course, the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Han are the first, and Chu, Wei, Qi, and Yan are the last!" ”

Su Dai smiled and asked, "Then I don't know what Lord Zuo thinks, now, in the four kingdoms of Chu, Wei, Qi, and Yan, who has the weakest national strength?" ”

Huang Xie's face became ugly, although he knew that the actual combat strength of the Chu State was at the bottom of the Four Kingdoms because of the great defeat of the Qin State and the relationship between the vitality of the Four Kingdoms, but Huang Xie would never be able to say such words. So he argued to himself: "Not much different! This is not a simple accumulation of troops, just like Tiandan, with only one city of Jucheng, he defeated the elite of the 400,000 Yan army and recovered more than 70 cities. Although my Chu State cannot defeat Wei, Qi, and Yan, it is extremely difficult to defeat it! ”

Su Dai had long thought that Huang Xie would quibble with him, so he didn't care, but said: "Dai also thinks that what Lord Zuo said is very true!" But joining is the invasion of your country by the Qin State, can your country stop it? ”

Huang Xie's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Naturally, it can't be resisted, but now the border between the Qin State and my Great Chu is just Ba County!" The Qin State is now too busy to take care of itself, where will it attack our Chu State! Mr.'s words are a bit alarmist! ”

"Definitely! If the people have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries, if the people of Chu think that the Qin State will be fine if it loses Hanzhong County and Chu State, then it will really be a catastrophe! ”
