Chapter 359: The Tongue Is Like a Lotus, and the Six Kingdoms Decide (45)
"Well, when do you say that our king will prevail in the hands of your lords?" One of them asked in a low voice.
The other also lowered his voice and said, "How can we know this, seeing that we are about to be defeated, and the evil wind that blows from nowhere, in an instant blows the king right." ”
"Yes, I saw that I was about to fall, and I actually fought my way out of the encirclement, and it was really the person who killed my brother. But this courtier and my king are a little at odds. One of them, who seemed to be a scholar, shook his head and said.
"It's not just a disagreement, it's a great disagreement."
......
Time is negligent, and in the blink of an eye, the scorching summer day is rushing in with a heat wave.
On such a hot day, don't say that the soldiers of all countries return to their respective camps and stop fighting for the time being, even if the people have nothing to do, they don't like to go out.
Only the desperate tenants will go out early and return late, even if they try hard, they will find a shady place when the sun is at its thickest, rest for a while, and avoid this scorching sun.
In addition, the people who do some small business and make a living will brave the scorching sun, or sell in the city, or set up sheds along the official roads, and earn some money from passing merchants.
It was at this time that Su Ji came to the territory of Chu.
The Wei State has always been particularly wealthy, and when he came to the Chu State, the envoys of the Wei State felt that they had suffered a great sin.
Under the leadership of the master father Zhao Qi, Zhao Guo had a period of Hufu experience, which is still used today, because he has a bit of affection for the rough style of Chu State.
South Korea has always looked down on the style of the Five Kingdoms, and considers itself to be the orthodoxy of Zhou Li. For the customs and folk customs of various countries, it has long been strange, but it is difficult to accept, but the left is not comparable to them South Korea.
The country of Qi has always been a land of culture, how can you see such a country of mountains and wilderness. There is not a village in front of you, and there is not a store in the back. At first, I was confused, but then I was a little happy, such a wilderness place, it is really suitable for practicing immortal arts, and I can report to the king when I return to China.
Su Ji, the envoy of Wei who couldn't stand it, complained: "Prime Minister Su Ji, you see that this Chu country is vast and sparsely populated, and I haven't seen a single person after walking for a long time. ”
As soon as the envoy of Wei finished speaking, he heard the envoy of Zhao State, who was a little forced, say: "Hey, Prime Minister Su Ji, you go there and see if there is a shed with sails moving, but I can't see what is written on it." ”
In addition to Su Ji and others, there were also people who were sweating like rain, all of them followed the prestige, and sure enough, there was a shed, but there was little wind in summer, and the sails did not shake, just like their line, hanging on the pole.
Therefore, the people could not see what was written on it. However, if a tent is set up on this official road, it will not sell some valuable porcelain or clothes and ornaments.
But the one who sets up the tent will also choose. Along the way, everywhere you pass, there are all barren, not to say that it is to find a piece of green shade in the forest, or to find a green field, it is a little difficult.
Therefore, Su Ji and his party were so non-stop, hurrying and hurrying, there was really nowhere to stay. Standing on the bare ground like that, it is better to hide in the carriage, and at least have a carriage lid to block the scorching sun.
At this time, there is a place to stay, and there are so many things. The group rumbled towards the shed.
The place where the shed is set up, backed by a sparse green shade, can barely enjoy the shade. Su Ji also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if this was the case again, he didn't know if he could hold on.
Fortunately, this is not the sandy land, and what you see is not far away. However, although it is not a sandy land, it is not as good as the official road built by the Qin State.
The two people in the shed heard the sound of the carriage and horses early, and the closer they heard the sound, they choked on the dust of the carriage and horses. Fortunately, I have long been accustomed to the wind and sand here, and everything that should be eaten is covered with a thick cloth.
Seeing the big battle of the people, the people in the shed first shook off the dust and then greeted them with a smile.
Su Ji and his entourage saw that the two of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes, but they didn't see dirt, and they were gnawing on dry food for days, but they were looking forward to the food in this shed. It's finally time to rest, that's what everyone wants.
Some of the people accompanied Su Ji into the shed and waited by his side, the other part stayed to take care of the cart and luggage, and some went to feed the horses.
After Su Ji sat down, he suddenly had leisure and looked around.
Although it is a brief omission, it has everything and is neatly organized. Those who have experienced the desolate land in front of them, and those who rest here, have a sense of relaxation and joy.
Su Ji, who was very curious about these two people, asked, "Dare to ask how long the two brothers have been living here?" ”
The two of them might as well ask Su Jihui, and the older man replied with a smile: "The prince must be the first to come back to Chu State." ”
Su Ji didn't expect someone to guess that he was stepping into Chu for the first time, and he became more and more curious, and asked again and again: "How can this eldest brother say this?" ”
The older one said: "If the son came a few more times, he wouldn't have asked like this, and my two brothers, on the road to Chu, are also the first time to see adults." Dealing with passers-by every day, we definitely haven't seen Childe, and this son still has a memory. ”
It's actually a person who has been here for a long time.
When I wanted to ask again, the younger man had already brought food, and several people had already eaten the dry food for days, and their eyes lit up when they saw this coarse tea and light rice.
For a moment, all that was left was the movement of eating food, and the lingering heat around me.
After a period of chaos, it was like a whirlwind and clouds.
The Korean envoy, who has always been the most polite, has a rare look of surprise. It's just that Su Ji and several other envoys didn't care about the idea in the hearts of the Korean envoys at all.
After the two brothers cleaned up a few cases, it was time for the scorching sun to shine. The group was not in a hurry to leave, and Su Ji asked again what had been interrupted earlier.
He asked the older man, "How do you two think about making a living here, and how long have you been seeing a man?" ”
The older man said with a bitter face: "I have many brothers in my family, but few of them can make a living, and my parents are old, so the needs of the family are too great. And to make a living on the street, you have to give money, and the two of us are just to earn some money to subsidize the family, how can we give it to others. Besides, Gongzi is wrong, this is the only way to go to Yingdu, although it is a little deserted, there are many people. ”
"Oh? Dare to ask the two brothers, how far is it from Yingdu? Su Ji asked casually.
