In the palace of the king of Shu, it had only been two days since the calm was restored, and he received that Duguqing and Poxi had left Shu and returned to Badi. He was wondering if the burning of the forest had something to do with them, and who knows, he received two large boxes of gold from Duguqing. After reading the letter brought by Duguqing's subordinates, the great suspicion in his heart quickly disappeared a lot.

He has great confidence in the "soul inducer", even if Liyang Fengnu has the ability to chemical medicine, Duguqing will not be spared. Now these two boxes of gold are the best proof, in this case, it is logical to get a steady supply of money from Dugu Qing in the future.

Originally, he didn't deliberately arrange all this, but in the past few years, the military needs to spend too much, build weapons, and raise an army that needs money. When I saw Duguqing and Perxi, although they were two beauties with different styles, they were better than Perxi in appearance.

Although he is not a lustful person, Duguqing and Poxi have different uses, which can not only be pleasing to the eye, but also make the best use of them.

That's why I made up my mind to use the "Soul Attraction" to take them together. Now it seems that Duguqing has succeeded, and the symbol of Liyang Fengnu's "disaster and destruction of the world" makes him less obliged to have her. He didn't want to keep that inauspicious symbol by his side, and if he fell short, it would be more than worth the loss.

"King Shu, my subordinates have just received the report, and there seems to be a move on the Xianyang side." Leng Ming came in from outside, hurriedly saluted, and reported the news he had just received to Mo Shangxuan.

"What do you mean?"

"Xianyang mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses to move in the direction of the Chu State, I don't know if it is going to start a war against the Chu State."

"War against the state of Chu? There are already 400,000 troops stationed in the Qin State on the Qin-Chu border, and 50,000 soldiers and horses need to be transferred to the Qin-Chu border to do what? ”

"The subordinates don't know for the time being, but as long as they don't use troops against Bashu, no matter who the Qin State uses troops for, it will be good for us, so that the King of Qin will have no time to take care of Bashu."

"Well, that's certainly for the best." As long as Bashu still gives people a stable illusion to show Ying Zheng, Mo Shangxuan feels that he has enough time to make the best deployment.

"But we are still short of iron ore and dansha, especially dansha, the dansha that Feng Shizi bought at a high price from elsewhere is actually the goods of the Dugu family. Dansha is not available anywhere else except for Dugujia's unique ore, and as for iron ore, it can also be bought from elsewhere, but the amount of goods is far from enough, and we still need Dugujia's iron ore. ”

"The head of the Feng family was right when he didn't agree to the idea of robbing the Dugu family's iron ore and dansha, although he took advantage of it, the consequence was that he was going to run out of stock, which affected the plan."

Mo Shangxuan regretted a little that he had instigated the half-black, half-white Mo family to pretend to be bandits to grab goods, and then he only spent 20% of the price to buy it, which did save a lot of money. But because of this, Duguqing would rather lose money than stop shipping goods, which made him very passive.

"Then what will Duguqing plan to do now?"

"Hmph, under the influence of the "soul attraction", she willingly offered the money, the king lost the silver mountain of golden silk nanmu, but easily got a gold mountain, although not both, but the king was also compensated. ”

Mo Shangxuan looked proudly at the glittering wealth in front of him, and thought that Duguqing's wealth would be his in the future, and he was even more excited.

Leng Ming looked at the gold on the ground, and his heart was clear, so he didn't say anything, and stayed quietly and looked at Mo Shangxuan.

"What suspicions can be found about the fire in the Golden Silk Nanmu Forest?"

"Because the forest has just been extinguished, and it hasn't rained recently, the forest is still very hot, and my subordinates can't investigate deeply."

Mo Shangxuan walked to the window and looked at the forest where the large leaves that should have been green had turned into a dark black forest with a little smoke, and his heart was burning with anger again. That's not only money, but also a symbol of the dragon veins of their Shu Palace for thousands of years. What's more, without this natural barrier, the shocking secrets hidden in the mountains in the distance are more easily exposed.

It seems that the plan must be carried out at a faster pace, otherwise once it is known that the mountain range contains a large number of weapons and medicines, Xianyang will definitely send a large army to destroy the lifelong efforts of their generations of Shu kings.

"This fire came too suddenly, although this summer is hotter than usual, but for thousands of years, it is not only this summer fierce, why is it that when this king plans to sell a large number of golden silk nan wood, there is a fire that burns all the golden silk nan wood?"

"Could it be that someone deliberately set the fire?"

Leng Ming actually didn't have a clue, on the night of the fire, the people in the entire Shu Palace were woken up by a huge blasting sound, and then there was an uncontrollable fire that spread almost to the entire forest.

"No, the fire shouldn't be so fierce if it was set on fire."

Mo Shangxuan didn't suspect it, but it was obvious that the fire began to spread from the middle of the forest, and if it was man-made, it was impossible for the person who set the fire to leave safely.

Because of this, Mo Shangxuan was even more puzzled, could it be a warning from God? But even if God told him that there was something he couldn't do, he couldn't turn back. To get to this point, we can only advance and not retreat. With a restless heart, he made a determination that could not be changed.

In this way, Dugu Qing's two boxes of gold made Mo Shangxuan let down his vigilance and suspicion of them, he thought that he could continue to make the last bit of preparations, and then the chances of winning the matter were greater. There are only 50,000 weapons left, and as long as he is given another two to three months, it can be completed.

As long as 50,000 weapons are made, he will go to capture the unproductive Badi as soon as possible, and realize the true merger of Bashu after taking Badi for himself, so that Bashu completely belongs to the Moshang family.

Originally, his father had hinted that the previous generation of Ba kings in Ba had conspired against Qin in order to restore the independent power of Ba and Shu. However, the previous generation of King Ba was not only unwilling, but also warned the heir Xuanyuan Daokang not to oppose Qin, but also to stay away from the Shu regime.

In the end, the Moshang family decided to go it alone, but it took more time to deploy, and his father died before he had a chance to make a big anti-Qin mutiny, so he continued to complete this great cause.

And Xuanyuan Daokang of Badi was already sitting face to face with Ying Zheng at this time, although he never thought that Ying Zheng would come to Bashu in person, and he didn't even have a large army to follow. In the face of the strong kingly demeanor of winning the government, although he was a little frightened in his heart, he was not out of proportion.

When Xuanyuan Daokang inherited the throne five years ago, he went to Xianyang to receive the title of King Ba. Win Zheng is only a few years older than himself, but his courage is far from being reached. Seeing Ying Zheng looking at the book with a calm demeanor, drinking tea, a quarter of an hour had passed since he entered the courtyard exclusive to Duguqing, and Ying Zheng didn't say a word, just asked him to sit down.

Before Ying Zheng didn't speak, Xuanyuan Daokang didn't plan to speak, looked at Ying Zheng with a clear conscience, and continued to wait.

Finally, Ying Zheng seemed to have finally finished reading the book in his hand, put down the book, raised his eyes to Xuanyuan Daokang and said, "Doesn't King Ba have anything to say to this king?" ”

"What does King Qin mean?" Xuanyuan Daokang felt that Ying Zheng's tone was questioning. But he was open in his heart, and there was nothing to fear.

"The Badi Xuanyuan family and the Shu Di Moshang family have had a close relationship since ancient times, and the king of Shu doesn't know anything about Shudi?"

"If the King of Qin refers to the matter of the King of Shu raising troops and making weapons without authorization, the minister is not ashamed."

"Really? Guilty? ”

"Yes, first, even if there were signs of rebellion in Shu before, there is no actual evidence to prove it for Badi, and Badi obeyed the decree of Qin, governed Badi peacefully, and was loyal to Qin. Other things beyond Badi are not under the control of Badi, so Badi has no intention of paying attention to any rebellion in Shudi. Second, when the minister learned the evidence of the true rebellion in Shudi, it was also when the king of Qin learned about it, so I didn't need to report it in one more move, the king of Qin already knew about it, so the minister was worthy of it. ”

"You're not afraid of this king?" Ying Zheng was actually a little surprised, and he always thought that King Ba was just an idle vassal king, who only sought peace and happiness, not the greatness of the world. Now he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he clearly explains his position and responsibilities with Badi, which is reasonable, he has no obligation to take care of the affairs of Shudi, but is just the lord of Badi and the vassal king of Qin, which is indeed not wrong.

"Then you agreed to sell the iron ore of the Badi Dugu family to Shu and let them build so many weapons, isn't it worth this king to suspect that you have colluded with them?"

"The sale of iron ore is a free business dealing, and it is common for countries to buy and sell each other, as for what to do with the iron ore that Shu Di bought from Badi, the minister does not know, and he has never thought to know, just as a normal business dealing. If the king of Qin is condemned because of this, the minister will accept it. ”

"Then how do you think the king should be guilty of you?"

"If the king of Qin thinks that whatever crime is appropriate, the minister will suffer whatever crime, but before he is guilty, the minister must also argue a few words for himself, please allow the king of Qin." After Xuanyuan Daokang finished speaking, he changed his sitting posture to a kneeling position, bowing his head and waiting for the command of Win Zheng.

"Say."

"King Xie Qin is complete."

Kowtowed, Xuanyuan Daokang continued: "If the two places of Bashu are idle vassal kings, King Qin naturally doesn't have to worry, but there is a rebellious heart in Shu. Is this rebellion a day? If King Qin had strictly controlled it from the beginning and paid close attention to Shudi's intentions, there would be no situation today. Bashu has long been attached to the Qin State, and in addition to the annual tribute of the Qin State, the King of Qin or the previous famous Qin kings, do you really treat the people of Bashu as your own people? If so, why did the border people in Bashu and other countries often happen to be burned, killed and looted, but the King of Qin never cared. Regardless of it, why don't we allow ourselves to raise troops to defend against foreign enemies, can we only be loyal to the Qin State, but we can't get the protection of the Qin State? ”

After Ying Zheng listened to Xuanyuan Daokang's words, he was silent for a while, and said resolutely with an expressionless face: "From today on, Bashu will truly become a subject of the Great Qin Empire. This king promises you that after the rebellion to destroy Shu, this king will send troops to garrison the border of Bashu, and Bashu will never be bullied by anyone again. ”

"King Xie Qin is complete."

The purpose of winning politics has never changed, no matter what the other party says, as long as it is right, he will not disagree. Xuanyuan Daokang implied that he was a monarch who only took money and did nothing. But he didn't get angry, but was willing to admit in his heart that he had done a bad job, so he immediately decided to meet Xuanyuan Daokang's needs and bring Bashu Zhengzhen into the protection of the Qin State.

Xuanyuan Daokang thought that Ying Zheng might not blame him, but he didn't expect that he would immediately promise such an important decision. You must know that Bashu is remote and backward, and there is a saying that you can't get in and out since ancient times.

This is because the Bashu landform is full of high mountains, dense forests, miasma, and passing by is either dead or injured.

Since Qin subdued Bashu, Qin sent troops to open up the official road between Bashu and Qin. Later, it slowly opened up the border between Chu and Badi, so that the merchants of Bashu could go out of Bashu to enter and exit some goods.

It's just that the road of Chu is not as easy to walk as that of Qin, because when the route was opened, the official road of Chu did not open the road too carefully, and it was relatively difficult to walk, so there were very few people who really took the road of Chu, and most of them went to other vassal states through Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at him and knew that Xuanyuan Daokang, who had always advertised himself as an idle vassal king, was actually not idle at all. It's not that Yingzheng hasn't completely ignored Bashu over the years, but it's true that he hasn't taken care of it very carefully.

The King of Shu was too hidden, so he didn't notice the rebellion early, and Xuanyuan Daokang raised tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on some borders of Badi, but it was indeed only used to resist the petty fights of others burning and looting.

These Ying Zheng already knew that because they hadn't taken care of how to arrange Bashu, they let him do something that had no impact and could protect the people.

After determining that Xuanyuan Daokang was trustworthy, Ying Zheng asked Wang Qian, who was guarding the side, to call Poxi and Duguqing. Regarding the clue to Princess Crane's fate "Danding", he wants to help Perxi solve it together.

After Poxi and Duguqing came to the courtyard, Ying Zheng went straight to the point and asked Xuanyuan Daokang directly: "Regarding the poison of "Danding", this king needs to know the ins and outs, what can you explain?" ”

Xuanyuan Daokang was stunned when he heard "Danding", and Poxi was also stunned, he still wanted to ask Duguqing about it, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to help her ask first. She just mentioned it to him, and he actually took it to heart, obviously he himself had a lot to worry about how to deploy, and he was always thinking about her.

Although he was moved to think about himself, this matter should be solved by himself, and it should not take up Brother Zheng's time.

So, Po Xi said to Ying Zheng before Xuanyuan Daokang spoke: "Brother Zheng, can you let me handle this matter by myself?" ”

Ying Zheng looked at her serious eyes, although he didn't want her to work hard, but he still doted on her as usual, and said softly: "If Xi'er wants this, then do it, but ......"

"I know that if I can't do it, I won't tire myself, and I'll ask Brother Zheng for help." Perk Creek took the lead and assured the winning government.

"Okay, that's fine." Ying Zheng took her hand and showed a beautiful smile that had never been seen in the whole world. But everyone present knew that this was just laughing for Perxi, and I am afraid that no one else in the world would have the ability to make him smile so tenderly.

Duguqing looked at this kind of trick love, his little heart was stimulated again, and he said without fear of death: "Poxi, your eyes are really no one, how did you find this unique lover who only treats you softly and only smiles at you?" ”

Poxi smiled and said with infinite emotion: "I promised a ten-year time in exchange." This sentence is only understood by Ying Zheng, and it doesn't matter if others don't understand it.

"Do I want to try to find someone for ten years, and see if I can find such a lover, haha!"

"I'm right here, and I've promised you ten years, can you give me something in return and comfort me?" As long as Xuanyuan Daokang meets Duguqing, the whole person usually becomes cute, and he will completely forget that Ying Zheng is still sitting in front of him.

"Brother, sister is very busy!" Dugu glanced at Xuanyuan Daokang.

"What brother, I could have married and had children a long time ago, if you had agreed to marry me, we might have children."

Wang Qian's brows flickered imperceptibly when he heard Xuanyuan Daokang's words, but he didn't say anything, and still sat quietly without caring about himself.

"Do you want to get married and have children? It's easy to do, my sister will recruit all the unmarried women of Bashu to you tomorrow, as long as you fancy any of them, my sister will give the girl a few boxes of gold as a dowry to marry into the palace of Ba Wang, how about it? ”

"You marry me directly, and I'll give you all the gold in the Ba Palace, okay?"

"Good your sister, you don't love a little fresh meat sister, my sister only loves bacon."

In fact, Duguqing didn't think too much about the latter words, it was just her own mate selection criteria, and she liked mature and experienced men. However, the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Ying Zheng and Poxi subconsciously looked at Wang Qian, Wang Jian himself was also a little right, thinking that Duguqing was talking about himself, because at present, everyone has only heard Duguqing call Wang Jian "Uncle Bacon".

"Uncle bacon? What's that? ”

"It's my food."

"You want to eat bacon, what the palace has, wild boars, and bacon made of domestic pigs are whatever you want."

"You can't have the bacon I want to eat."

"Then what bacon do you want to eat, can't I get it for you?"

"I ......"

"Shut up, y'all."

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Qian's darkening face, very sympathetic, his dignified general seemed to have turned into bacon on a plate, and looked at the two guys who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth were still continuing to discuss the topic of what bacon to eat, it was a waste of time, so he solemnly interrupted their argument, although Duguqing did not specifically mention the problem of bacon for Wang Qian. But inexplicably, they themselves thought that Wang Jian was bacon.

After that, Ying Zheng told Duguqing to help Poxi arrange to see Xuanyuan Wenmei, knowing that Duguqing could also help with this matter, so in addition to arranging secret guard protection for Poxi, he also asked Duguqing to take Poxi to find Xuanyuan Wenmei with peace of mind. He continued to discuss with Wang Jian and Xuanyuan Daokang how to arrange a route to besiege Shudi.

In addition, Ying Zheng is actually worried about Liu Chang, and he doesn't know what he is doing, and he hasn't appeared yet. If there is a real fight at that time, it is definitely not a good thing for him to stay in Shudi. Only when he arrives in Badi can he attack Shu without any scruples.

Afterwards, everyone dispersed to do their own thing, Xuanyuan Daokang followed Duguqing and Poxi to Xuanyuan's gentle medicine mountain, he was very worried that his sister would be involved in unnecessary harm again because of "Danding", so he followed to take a look, and I don't know if my sister will be in pain when I mention that person now?
