Chapter Eighty-Three: The Strange Princess
After Bai Tu returned to Qu'a, the first thing he did was naturally to come to Chengji Mansion.
Although I have just listened to Chen Gong's report on the affairs of the four counties in Jiangdong in the past month, the detailed data is still clearer here in Chengji.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Tu came in, he was scared out of white sweat by Qu Aji's words!
"Huh? Who is this sister? Is that the same Castle Ji you found? After Qu Aji saw Bai Tu come in, she looked behind Bai Tu and asked.
Bai Tu's legs weakened when he heard this, and he said astringently: "What, what sister?" Is there a third person here? โ
The words "Father-in-law save me" have been put in Bai Tu's throat......
But at this moment, a coquettish laughter that made Bai Tu feel familiar came: "Giggles, Bai Gong is not afraid, the concubine is just a moment of curiosity, and she came with her from Wujiang." โ
"Huh? Wujiang ...... Sure enough, it's you! The one who laughed at me when the Overlord was in the Armor! Bai Tu suddenly remembered.
At the same time, I saw a beautiful woman dressed in a flower dance red silk with a feather syana draped on her shoulder and a feather sanda draped behind her back, appearing behind Bai Tu.
The woman has slender eyebrows, bright eyes and bright teeth, and is painted with bright red makeup, as if she is about to perform some grand performance.
"You too...... Is it Johime? Although Bai Tu has some speculation, he is more confused.
"Castle Hime? You can say that, but I don't mean any 'castle', I can only be regarded as a stranger. The dressed woman said.
"And do you remember anything else?" Bai Tu asked tentatively.
Whether it's Qu Aji or Xiao Peiji, they don't have any memories of before they became Cheng Ji, or rather...... There are no memories that are too old.
"The Han soldiers have slighted the ground, and the Quartet is singing. The king is exhausted, and the concubine is ...... to talk about life," the woman in costume said half-singing and half-singing.
White Picture: !!
Sure enough, it was she, the reason why she appeared in Wujiang and with the overlord's relic, it was no coincidence, the Yi Ji in front of her was the Yu Ji who accompanied Xiang Yu when he raised troops in Jiangdong, until the defeat of Xiang Yu!
According to legend, Yu Ji was born in the Yu family with the fourth surname of Wuzhong, because she admired Xiang Yu, and married as a wife, every time she fought with Xiang Yu, when Xiang Yu established herself as the overlord of Western Chu, she was also named "beauty" - Xiang Yu did not call the emperor at that time, and named his wife "beauty", which is already a fixed grade.
Saying...... In the land of Jiangdong, the four surnames of Wuzhong at the beginning, now the Gu family and the Lu family are still beautiful, and the Zhang family and the Zhu family are called the current Jiangdong four surnames, and they are also the four major families with Zongji, and although the former Yu family and Wei family are a little down, they are still one of the top families in Huiji County.
"Are you...... Poppies? You...... How is it a stranger? "Bai Tu is not frivolous, "beauty" is Yu Ji's grade.
"There are a lot of things that the concubine can't remember, after the next song and dance, the concubine only said goodbye to the king, but she didn't want to see the king and the eight hundred Chu horses break through, and saw that there were only twenty-eight horses left around the king on the bank of the Wujiang River, and saw that the king finally took twenty-eight horsemen to charge the Han army, and watched the king kill himself after the Wujiang River, and the Han army that was rewarded was broken into ten thousand pieces......
However, they only divided the king's body, and after that, the king's remnants and battle armor sank into the Wujiang River with the concubine's body, and the concubine's body was confused for a long time before she woke up the day before yesterday. Yu Ji said.
Qu Aji was also curious about the baby's appearance and listened to it, but Bai Tu looked at her twice, and didn't seem to remember anything.
Judging from Yu Ji's situation, although the principle and process are unclear, it is ...... Indeed, there should be at least some of the city princesses, who were once humans!
Maybe when Yu Ji really becomes a city girl, no matter how many tens or hundreds of years of spring and autumn come, she will forget Xiang Yu and forget the farewell of the city, and only remember that she is the city girl.
"So...... You should follow the heir of King Xiang's legacy, why follow me? To meet the other castle princesses? Bai Tu wondered.
"The concubine likes the poems you made for the king, and there is no place to stay now...... As long as this body does not belong to the Han Dynasty, the concubine body can sit in a new city for you. Yu Ji said.
Bai Tu's eyes lit up when he heard thisโhe had also inspected the terrain near Beigu Mountain before, and had already decided to propose to build an iron urn city, and move all the official offices and workshops of the Ministry of Industry into it.
Originally, I thought that if there was no castle, it would only be nominally called "Kyoguchi Castle", but now it seems that it ...... Bai Tu can build a "Jingkou Fort" that is not a city in name, but has a castle!
With Yu Ji's life experience, it is normal to put forward the condition of "not belonging to Han", and Bai Tu has built Jingkou City, which is bound to be used for secrecy, how can it be possible to "network" with Da Hanji?
At that time, it will only be called "Jingkou Fort" to the outside world, and at the same time, with Yu Ji in charge, it will be easier to achieve secrecy work.
It's just that Bai Tu always feels a little weird......
Why can others get the approval of Xiang Yu's remnants, and they can only rely on patting Xiang Yu's ass to get Yu Ji's approval?
Could it be that Yu Ji is appreciating her ability to make the king happy?
Thinking about it this way, Bai Tu feels more and more awkward!
But Bai Tu didn't forget it, and asked about Sun Ce by the way.
"The young man who inherited the King's armor? I think I'll wake up in a few days. "Yu Ji and Lu Bu have similar opinions.
After that, Bai Tu first settled Yu Ji in Qu Aji's Chengji Mansion, and he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others here.
After all, it is still the world of the Han Dynasty, and Bai Tu is still nominally the Yangzhou Mu of the Han Dynasty, and the inheritance of the bereaved armor can also be shirked as the heroism of Xiang Yu, but it is inevitable that there is some taboo meaning to appear directly with Yu Ji.
Here in Qu Aji, Bai Tu also checked the situation of the four counties in Jiangdong in the past month - after Qu A was used as a place of governance, here Bai Tu could receive the situation of Wu County, Huiji County, Danyang County and Yuzhang County that had been recovered.
Wu Jun and Danyang, Wang Lang of Huiji and Hua Xin of Yuzhang really immediately sent envoys to attach, and the two of them had already set off, and Qu A would report to Bai Tu in person in the near future.
It's just that these two are not young, although they are not completely ignorant of the army, but the factions are all there, and they must be slowly and leisurely, and Bai Tu is not urging.
The tuntian arranged for Gan Ning and Chen Gong was also proceeding step by step at this time, but it was ...... The population of Wu County and Huiji County made Bai Tu's face a little cold.
Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Wu County had a registered population of 700,000 and Huiji had 480,000, but now it is ...... It's almost discounted!
Obviously, the previous war did not have much impact in Jiangdong, and half of the population was lost?
Where did the disappeared people go, in fact, Bai Tu also knew in his heart, after all, these two counties are also the power of the family and the wealthy family, and they are the two most deep-rooted counties.
And the family takes advantage of wars and famines to hide the population, which is also a basic operation, otherwise where did the tens of thousands of tenants and servants come from?
It's just that even if he was a little mentally prepared, Bai Tu was taken aback by the appetite of the Jiangdong family, and some understood why Sun Ce insisted on killing Xu Gong to make an example of the monkey in history......
However, Bai Tu was not forced to Sun Ce's sake, although Bai Tu did not have Sun Ce's family background, but Bai Tu now has Lu Kang's trust, and there are ...... Yu's grandparents and grandmothers!
