Chapter Ninety-Five: (Seeking Support)

After receiving the letter from Peng Xiao, Xu Shouren quickly met with Emperor Suzaku and swore allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor, paid taxes every year according to regulations, and offered 1 million silver as an offering.

After receiving the promise of Emperor Suzaku, Xu Shouren hinted at his intention to assist Emperor Suzaku in regaining power in the name of Sun Shixu.

Emperor Suzaku seemed to be moved, but he did not think that Xu Shouren and the others had enough strength, so he did not say anything, and only recognized the control and trade rights of the two of them over the Ezo land.

Xu Shouren couldn't say that he had the support of Great Chu behind him, and the identities of the two were just ordinary officials and generals of Chu State in the eyes of Emperor Suzaku at this time. In desperation, Xu Shouren could only retire.

Maybe a million taels did the trick.

The next day, Emperor Suzaku issued an edict, appointing Sun Shixu as the guardian of Ezo and Xu Shouren as the suke of Ezo.

Since then, the two have gained a firm foothold in Ezo. But this does not mean that you can enter the interior of Fusang State, Ezo Land is just a foreign country at this time, just like Jiaozhou of Chu State, nothing more.

In fact, Xu Shouren mistakenly blamed Emperor Suzaku, it was not that he didn't want to agree, but he didn't have the right to agree. Because Fujiwara Tadahei is behind him, Fujiwara Tadahei has to call the shots in everything.

Fujiwara Tadahei just gave the two of them official positions for the sake of one million taels. Indeed, at this time, Fusang was a high-class order country, and the tax paid in a year was only about 200,000 taels. With a million taels at once, how could he not make Fujiwara Tadahei moved.

Xu Shouren had no choice but to go north with Peng Xiao.

After the three of them discussed, they decided to give Emperor Suzaku a dose of fierce medicine, prompting him to believe in the strength of Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren. Enough strength for him to regain power. But this matter requires the support of the State of Chu and the authorization of Baili Wuji.

……。

Baili Wuji fell into anger.

Dozens of janissaries couldn't stand a group of ten people.

Lu Shiyun and his entourage, who have been in the sight of Baili Wuji. It disappeared for no reason.

This made Baili Wuji intolerable.

"Ordered Zhou Xingfeng to personally lead the forbidden army and search the entire Xingwang Mansion. and find out to the king. ”

Baili Wuji roared.

He couldn't control his emotions.

In his mind, Lu Shiyun is a dream, a dream that intersects with dreams.

It is a kind of sustenance, spiritual sustenance.

As long as she exists in Baili Wuji's sight, Baili Wuji's heart can be calm.

Baili Wuji has always thought that he loves Lu Shiyun, and he loves it very much.

I love so much that I can't bear to force her, and I don't want to touch her with external force, for fear that if I touch her, it will break.

But Baili Wuji never understood. Women, many times need to be reluctant.

Some women, if you don't force her, you can only get the person who loves her and the person he loves.

They know each other too well, they all understand each other's minds, and they don't want to force each other in the slightest.

Since it is already wrong to see each other in this life, why bother with each other?

Entanglement is a fate that cannot be escaped.

Lu Shiyun chose to leave. When a person leaves, can the heart leave?

If you can't leave, why do you have to leave? After all, entangled in the heart.

……。

And now. Baili Wuji can no longer be calm.

He was furious, he thought, killing.

Xu Shiming did his best. Sun Guangxian did his best.

Even Gao Rongrong and Meng Yanyi couldn't calm him down.

After the last, Meng Yanyi hugged the one-year-old Baili Yiyun, so that Baili Wuji's blood-red eyes slowly calmed down.

……。

Zhou Xingfeng searched hard for a month. I even searched the surrounding states.

Gain nothing, and risk the consequences of angering Baili Wuji. Zhou Xingfeng still decided to come back to his life.

But after hearing the results, Baili Wuji did not have the slightest anger.

After Baili Wuji waved his hand gently, Zhou Xingfeng wiped his cold sweat and bowed back.

Indeed, since following the Great King, he has never seen Baili Wuji so angry.

said that Zhou Xingfeng had only met Xu Shiming and Bai Liyi once.

That time was the offensive and defensive battle of Chungxian.

……。

Fortunately, Peng Xiao's return diverted the attention of Baili Wuji, and also relieved Xu Shiming and others.

Peng Xiao brought three million taels of gold, sixty million taels of silver and six ships of copper this time.

But Baili Wuji didn't have the slightest reaction on his face, he just pulled everyone back and talked to Peng Xiao.

"King, this is the letter that Xu Shenzhi brought back." Peng Xiao took out the letter and presented it to Baili Wuji.

Baili Wuji took it and asked, "Will the occupation of Ezo go smoothly this time?" ”

"It went very well, and it only took three days for Sun Du to command the envoy to sweep away the indigenous leaders of Ezo. Subsequently, Xu Shenzhi donated one million taels of silver to Emperor Fuso, and Emperor Fuso appointed Sun Shixu as the guardian of Ezo and Xu Shouren as the suke of Ezo. ”

"Hmm....... Go back. Baili Wuji waved his hand.

Peng Xiao was a little inexplicable, and Shi Li retreated.

Baili Wuji opened the letter, frowning as he read it, and the more he wrinkled, the tighter he wrinkled.

Finally after reading it, Baili Wuji stood up suddenly, walked to the sand table with "Fusang" written on it, and checked the letter over and over again.

……。

Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian have been waiting outside.

Baili Wuji didn't let them wait, but the two wanted to hear news from their son.

All night, I didn't see Baili Wuji come out.

The two finally couldn't resist their old age and went back to rest.

The two of them didn't know what to do, and just after they left, something unexpected happened.

I can't imagine that this moment will affect the history of Asia for thousands of years.

And Baili Wuji is writing a secret order at the moment.

In the afternoon, Baili Wuji passed on Baili Kang and Peng Xiao to discuss for a long time.

The next day, Peng Xiao returned to Xingwangfu to stand by.

Peng Xiao returned to the barracks and began to order the entire special operations army to assemble.

It was announced that under the order of the king of Chu, the whole army launched a training exercise, with the goal of revitalizing the king's mansion.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Shu Guangzheng, the Lantern Festival.

When the people put up lanterns to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Peng Xiao took the sailor to cross the ocean for the third time.

No one knew that one of the distant cargo ships was loaded not with cargo, but with ordnance, spearmen ordnance that had been canceled during the reorganization of the Black Flag Army, and a shipload full of spears and armor, as well as grenades, mines, and gunpowder.

This is the masterpiece of the special operations army led by Baili Kang, under the guise of training, in fact, it is secretly crossing Chen Cang, loading ordnance and other materials onto merchant ships, which is the last time that Baili Wuji has supported Sun Shixu and Xu Shouren.

In Tanzhou City, Baili Wuji silently prayed for Sun and Xu, and it was up to you ...... future.

……。

At this time, the Khitan went south for the second time.

Shi Chonggui's edict ordered Zhao Zaili to return to the division and stationed in Shanzhou, and Ma Quanjie returned to Yedu; He also sent Zhang Yanze, the commander of the right Shenwu army, to garrison Liyang, and Jingyanguang to stay in Xijing, and led troops from Huazhou to guard Huliangdu. On the third day of the first lunar month, Zhang Congen reported that the Khitan was approaching Xingzhou, and Shi Chonggui issued an edict and ordered Huazhou and Ye to send troops to resist again. Yicheng Jiedu made Huangfu Yu lead the troops to Xingzhou. The Khitan invaded the three prefectures of Xing and Ci, almost robbed and killed them all, and then entered the territory of Yedu.
