King Ginger City, back garden.

Bamboo forests and flowers.

On the side of the Linquan case, Gu Cheng closed his eyes to recuperate, and the nightshade was dressed in a Qiluo silk robe, with bare feet, placed in the clear spring water, gently raised his hand, and fed the fish in the water.

A large school of fish squeezed under her feet, itching her from time to time to shrink her feet, her long and beautiful eyelashes blinking and blinking, but there was some sadness in her carefree expression in the past.

Gu Cheng opened his eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"I dreamed of my father last night, and his face was blurred, as if he was going to say something to me......"

Long Kuidai frowned slightly, and said uneasily: "When I was just born, my father was in retreat, and it has been twenty years since I comprehended the spirit sword passed down by my ancestors.

The so-called spirit sword, that is, Jiang Guo's self-proclaimed, in fact, according to ancient records, when the sword fell into the world, blood rain fell from the sky, a great omen, and it was called the magic sword by the world.

Because this sword is unknown, the princes of all countries do not want to be contaminated, and it was later obtained by the founding monarch of Jiang State, sealed in a unique sword mound, and passed down from generation to generation.

Jiang Guo expects to rely on this sword to strengthen the national strength and rise strongly.

That is clearly unrealistic.

Not to mention a magic sword of unknown origin, even the Fuxi Sword and the Dustless Sword can only create the strongest in the world, but cannot become the first power in the world.

The authorities were fascinated by bystanders, and after King Jiang entered the sword mound, he never came out.

Since then, it has been closed and isolated from the inside and outside, making a posture of closing to death.

Sword Dao cultivation is indomitable, if anyone forcibly breaks it, King Jiang will be hit hard, not to mention the mental blow, this matter will be dragged down.

It's been twenty years in the blink of an eye.

"Nightshade has to recognize the Lord with water and fire spirit beads, and the intuition in the dark is the most effective, I'm afraid it ......"

Gu Cheng sighed slightly, and was just about to persuade him, when the maid stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Dr. Lu Guo has won it, and he asks to see him with his national letter." ”

"Xuan!"

On the top of the main hall, the exhibition is decorated with beads, the waist is gold and jade, the head is crowned high, and he walks in slowly, his eyes do not squint, and he is extremely solemn.

When it comes to etiquette, the State of Lu is indeed the most standardized, no more than the bad atmosphere in the south that was brought by the State of Chu, calling the king and the prince at will, and they are still implementing the Zhou rites as much as possible to be the state of etiquette.

It's a pity that the so-called rites, in the eyes of today's Kongqiu, are only the superficial form of maintaining virtue.

Self-denial and revenge, you can become a benevolent saint, so that the world is peaceful, but to become a benevolent saint, but it is not only a way to respect the courtesy, Lu Guo is obviously doing things to divide one side, but also to stand the archway, no wonder the national strength is getting weaker and weaker.

However, this conservative style suddenly became noble when it came to Zhan Shu's mouth: "My Lu country has always been a good neighbor, living in good neighborliness, practicing the way of benevolence and righteousness, forbearance for the country, not fighting unjust wars, and not being a nameless teacher!"

After praising himself, he arched his hand and said: "Your country adopts the Confucian Taoism of Confucius, conquers the Quartet with benevolence and righteousness, and the prestige is grand, and Weijia Hai will be appointed by the Son of Heaven as the chief of the princes, acting as the king's rule, and crusading against injustice.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace showed different colors.

Fan Liwen has become a doctor, and it is no longer comparable to the down-and-out of the past, and it is inevitable that he will be a little excited in his heart.

The chief of the princes, the ruler of the king!

One Kuang world, the business of the overlord!

But the next moment, the two glanced at each other, and they seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The other civil and military forces were even more calm, and a rather strange atmosphere lingered in the main hall, until Gu Cheng waved his hand and stared at Zhan Shu: "Lu has been invaded by Qi again?"

Zhan was bowed and said bitterly: "The behavior of the Qi country is despicable, and the false way is to kill the guó, and my Lu country wants to form an alliance with your country and repel the Qi soldiers!"

The land of Qilu is also the Shandong of the later generations, when these two countries were feudalized, King Zhou Cheng gave the descendants of the next generation no harm to each other.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven was in power, and the two countries of Qi and Lu have always been good-neighborly and friendly, close and close to each other, and worked together to defend the Son of Heaven of Zhou.

But in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, that is, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the two countries turned their faces.

In the past few hundred years, Qi has invaded Lu more than 20 times, and Lu Waqi has also invaded Lu more than a dozen times.

These times are not counting small frictions on the border, they are all big battles involving hundreds of thousands of troops!

But at the same time, the Qilu Dynasty hired alliances more than 40 times, united to attack other countries many times, broke the siege for each other many times, and hired each other to marry women as in-laws, and there are countless others.

Love and kill each other, friends and enemies.

Three months ago, Jiang Guo's army invaded Qi State, Qi Jinggong was furious, reactivated the general Tian Sui Tho, transferred troops, and finally stabilized his position.

However, Tian Sui Tho and Yan Ying joined forces, and in the case of missing the opportunity, they could not drive away Jiang Jun, and in desperation, they prepared to attack from behind by a detour, borrowing through the Lu State, but they were recognized by Wang Jian and almost defeated.

Lu Guo originally sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but suddenly became a victim, and it can only be said that the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the vigilance is too low.

"In this way, Your Excellency's coming to Jiang is the same as Shen Baoxu's entry into Qin, to ask for reinforcements. ”

Gu Cheng nodded, looked at Zhan Fu's square face, and suddenly said, "That big thief Zhan Jiao, what does it have to do with you?"

Zhan Shu's face changed slightly, revealing just the right amount of shame, and bowed his head and said, "The family is unfortunate, that's the younger brother!"

It is hard to imagine that Zhan Shu, who looks like a decent man and a gentleman, and Zhan Zhen, who is rampant in all directions and makes a lot of war money, are siblings.

The country of Lu, which is the most important in etiquette, has a thief who ravages all countries and does all kinds of evil, which can be regarded as the greatest irony!

It's just that Zhan Zhi has become a guest of Yan Ying, does this Jiang prince know?

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid!"

Zhan Shu was apprehensive and held his breath slightly, but Gu Cheng didn't ask, waved his hand and said, "Come on, take the doctor to the post station to rest!"

Zhan Yu hurriedly bowed his hand, retreated, and looked at his back, Gu Cheng turned to the ministers and said with a smile: "The theory of the threat of a great power, do you Aiqing have a solution?"

The ministers frowned, feeling quite troubled.

Zhan was clearly asking for help, Qilu turned his face, in fact, the two countries were probably secretly allied again this time, dug a big hole, and waited for Jiang Guo to jump down.

The most ruthless thing is that no matter whether Jiang Guo agrees or not, the news that Zhan Yu came to Jiang Guo to be low and small, and wants to serve Jiang as the new overlord will probably spread all over the princes and countries as soon as possible.

When the time comes, the king will be jealous, and the nations will be in danger!

This is actually very similar to the theory of great power threat propagated by the West in later generations.

No one wants to be weaker than themselves, and in turn surpass themselves, if this trend appears, and it is preached as threatening, of course, they must join forces to suppress it.

Qi Jin was now the first to be attacked by Jiang Guo, and the ground movement array eroded the opponent's protector array, and the domestic turmoil stopped, and began to unite with the outside world, and it also lost the opportunity on the battlefield.

And other small countries are happy to have Jiang and the two big countries to fight to the death, and continue to encroach on the Chu State, but if a medium-sized country like Lu State takes the lead in taking refuge in Jiang State, no one can sit still.

Gu Cheng uses small countries to use interests.

Yan Ying uses small countries to threaten.

"You still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell!"

Gu Cheng looked at the ground where Zhan was standing, a strange color appeared in his eyes, and he said playfully:

"It's interesting, there is a demonic aura on his body!"
