Chapter 1224: Qing Ye helps you repay your kindness (14)
The news of Chu's war against Xi has already spread among those big vassal states.
As for those small vassal states, due to their lack of information, until this time, they still have not received any news that the king of Chu has plundered Mrs. Xi Guoji and started a war with Xi Guo.
As for those big princes and lords, they all smiled after receiving the news: "This Xiong Zhen is so romantic, it can be regarded as a rhyme." While talking, he actually listened to what happened to Xi Guo as a joke.
There are also some princes and kings who are closer to Xiguo who are quietly choking: why didn't they think of attacking Xiguo in advance, and let the king of Chu add a few more cities in vain.
All the vassal states thought that the victory of the Chu army was a sure thing, so when the news that the Chu army was captured by the Xi State came, all the vassal lords almost dropped their jaws in shock.
10,000 people went to fight 3,000 people and a wounded small prince, the lord of the country actually lost, did this king of Chu send a bear to lead the team to fight!
Zhou Tianzi holds a banquet every year, so everyone has seen Ji Hou.
It can be seen from Ji Hou's conversation on weekdays that although Ji Hou is tall and heroic.
But in fact, his temperament is very cowardly, and he is the most typical spokesperson for a high heart and a thin life.
Whenever others spoke louder, Ji Hou would shrink his neck and listen to the other party's reprimand quietly, and he didn't have half of the appearance of the lord of the princes at all.
Just like this time, if it weren't for his plan to attack Cai with the hand of Chu State, Xi State would not have suffered such a catastrophe.
Therefore, no prince would believe that the soldiers brought out by such a person could defeat the Chu army.
Under the suspicion, the lords of various countries sent spies to Xiguo to inquire about the situation.
The same doubts were obviously also the king of Chu Wen, Xiong Yun, after getting the news, Xiong Yun immediately sent spies to Xiguo to inquire about the news.
It's a pity that these spies can't ask anything about the rest of the matter, except for finding out that the gate of Xiguo has fallen and is now being repaired, as well as some words about Jin Qing's appearance.
Even the question of why there were two large pits outside the city gate did not get the slightest information.
As spies, they know that the more they want to hide, the more they will show that there is something in it.
Therefore, they continued to talk to the people of Xiguo around the city gate, concubines and big pits.
But what made the spies depressed was that these stupid Xiguo people in the past turned from stupid and sweet to black and ruthless in an instant after hearing their questioning.
I saw them vigilantly looking at the spies who inquired about the news: "Who are you, and what are you doing here to inquire about our country's affairs?" ”
These days, there are people who keep saying that there is a great onmyoji in the country.
Therefore, Xi Guoren was afraid of these spies, and they were sent by other countries to poach Jin Qing.
The people of this era take the rituals and rituals very lightly, and do things according to their own will.
A woman can remarry at any time as long as both the man and the woman so wish.
The marriage relationship is like this, not to mention the capable yin and yang family.
Although the people of Xi are very patriotic, he also has to admit that compared with other big vassal states, they really have no advantage over other big vassal states.
In other words, the residents can only eat two meals a day.
Slaves, on the other hand, can only eat one porridge a day.
If someone tells them that you come to my country and that I can give you three meals a day, they will move immediately and leave the country without looking back.
Therefore, not to mention Jin Qing, who will be invited away by various countries with a lot of money as a gift of yin and yang.
knew that it was impossible for him to leave Xiguo, so Xiren didn't want to let Jin Qing, who could protect the safety of Xiguo, go.
Out of this dark thought, the people immediately reached an alliance, and they decided to hide Jin Qing's news together.
After discovering the suspiciousness of these spies, the more timid people will quickly report to Li Zheng, saying that they have encountered a suspicious person, and ask Li Zheng to take someone to arrest the spies.
And the more daring Xiren will quickly gather his partners around him and hand over those spies to Lang Yin directly for investigation.
These spies who were caught inexplicably were also confused: when did the people of Xiguo become so alert.
For a time, there was a wave of spies in the country, and everyone regarded the spies as enemies who destroyed their families and exterminated their clans, and they were eager to kill them as soon as possible.
A large number of spies were dispatched, but they did not get the news they wanted, Xiong Yun was depressed for several days, and finally prepared a large amount of money to redeem the remaining Chu army.
After all, he wanted to know what kind of art of war the other party used, and he actually wiped out his army of 10,000 so easily.
Thinking of Xiong Cen again, Xiong Zhen was even more depressed in his heart, that was his most promising nephew, who died on the battlefield like this, how did he explain to his own brother.
Xiong Yun was not willing to exchange the city for prisoners of war, after all, he really couldn't afford to lose this person, and finally after discussing with Xi Guo, Chu sent a lot of gold and silver to Xi Guo.
But he didn't say a word about sending back Xi Fei, and in Xiong Zhen's heart, he still thought that Xi Guo's victory was just a fluke, and a beauty like Xi Fei was only worthy of a hero like him, and it was a pity to stay in Xi Guo.
At the same time, Xiong Yun also sent a marriage letter to Chen Guo, asking the other party to withdraw the marriage relationship between Xi Fei and Ji Hou in the name of his parents.
The state of Chu is willing to hire grain, gold and silver, cattle and horses to welcome Xi Concubine into the Chu Palace.
At this time, Xi Fei was not only a beauty, but also Xiong Yun's face when she was beaten to the ground by Xi Guo.
No matter what means are used, Xi Concubine can only stay in the Chu State.
Xiu sent all the money sent by Chu State into Jin Qing's palace, and now that Mrs. Ji is not there, Ji Hou is unconscious, and Jin Qing, the concubine, is the only person in the palace who can call the shots.
Not counting the two sisters, Ji Hou's harem originally had four concubines and fifteen beauties.
Although it sounds like a lot, for the princes of a country, Ji Hou is already a model of self-purity.
The concubines of the princes generally came from commoners or noble families, but the beauties were mostly slaves.
Therefore, if you are full of calculations, there are only these four concubines who can really be regarded as the harem of Ji Hou.
When the Chu army attacked Xiguo before, these women had already secretly left the palace.
originally thought that the country would be defeated, and they had to find a way to make a living for themselves.
But who would have thought that Xiguo not only did not lose but also won a big victory.
In this way, they are in an awkward position.
Although Xiguo is not rich, Ji Hou is a prince of a country after all, and there are many things that should be in the palace.
Therefore, they have long been accustomed to life in the palace, and if they are allowed to live like ordinary people, they will not be able to adapt to it at all.
Now, however, there is a very tricky little problem.
