0335 Meet the King of Xishu
The carriage moved slowly, and there was no one waiting in the carriage except for Pe'er.
Qiu Safeng's face sank the moment the carriage door closed.
There was an undercurrent surging in his eyes, but it was not aimed at Chu Jiu.
"Does the prince have other guesses during this time?" Chu Jiu also smiled and straightened up.
"The day before the palace came to you, my father received a secret letter saying that the marquis was seriously ill and died." Qiu Safeng spoke in a low voice.
"When did you die?" Chu Jiu fiddled with his nails with a sparse expression, and didn't look at Qiu Safeng.
"I said it was half a year ago." Qiu Safeng said in a low voice.
After a short silence, he turned his head to look at Qiu Safeng: "Half a year ago, it was indeed a good time to die. ”
For a moment, Qiu Safeng felt that the woman in front of him was not the Chu Jiu he once knew at all, not at all like the pregnant and coquettish and hypocritical woman before.
Chu Jiu didn't care about Qiu Safeng's eyes, stroked the broken hair between his forehead, and smiled slowly: "Who is the prince of Fenghou?" Have you taken over the throne? ”
Qiu Safeng nodded: "The marquis has three sons, one was injured because of hunting, which is not conducive to traveling, and one was an avalanche in the year of the snow disaster. The little marquis is now twenty-three years old, the youngest son-in-law of the old marquis, and the son of his father. ”
"It's so small, and it's so heavy. It seems that your Xishu Kingdom is not much better than us, it is all chaotic. Chu Jiu seemed to be identified in a few words, thinking that this newly promoted little marquis was Wei Luoting's comrade.
"It may not be him......" After Qiu Safeng finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Chu Jiu.
Chu Jiu snorted coldly: "Let's see if it's him." I also have to find out where this person has opened a way for Wei Luoting, in case my family Yunju wants to use it in the future, how convenient it is to directly take the ready-made. ”
Qiu Safeng's eyes sank: "...... What do you do that is not for him? ”
Chu Jiu was stunned, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "It seems that there is nothing." ”
Qiu Safeng pursed his lips and didn't want to pay attention to her.
At this time, Chu Jiu was very similar to the little woman he saw before.
……
The summer in Xishu is more comfortable than in Wu, not so hot.
Chu Jiu enjoyed the scenery all the way, and talked to Qiu Safeng without a match.
It's just that after walking for a few days, Chu Jiu's expression became more and more anxious.
"You see that, too? It's even more powerful in the west. Qiu Safeng smiled bitterly.
"If it continues, the drought and locust plague, the crops of Xishu will be harvested this year." Chu Jiu said worriedly: "Even if it is combined with the power of Wu and Chu, it may not be able to help." ”
"Yes......" Qiu Safeng closed his eyes: "If it is as you said, Feng Guang and Wei Luoting colluded, and the war would be a catastrophe for the Western Shu Kingdom." ”
Chu Jiu lowered the curtain of the car window, lowered his eyes, and covered a pair of crystal eyes with long eyelashes.
The capital of the Western Shu Kingdom is called Dongliancheng, which is located in a plain.
Beyond the plains, there are mountains and cliffs.
Passing by a mountain cliff, Qiu Safeng deliberately asked the coachman to stop the carriage and take Chu Jiu down to have a look.
Compared to the barrenness outside, the closer you are to the capital, the better the climate, and the weaker the worries in people's hearts.
"This place happens to be able to see our capital city clearly. There's nothing to show off to you, that's it, that's it. Although Qiu Safeng said modestly, his smile was full of pride.
Chu Jiu stood on the edge of the cliff, almost speechless in shock.
The figure is in a square shape, with red in the middle and gray-black around it, and it looks like a maze, but you can see clear lines......
This structure is exactly the same as Chudu!
It seems to be unchanged but it changes day and night, and it affects the whole body, and if you want to break it, you can only destroy it......
Bai Yao's words back then were repeated in Chu Jiu's ears like a curse at this moment, and her heart trembled so much that she couldn't even control herself.
Seeing Chu Jiu's speechless appearance, Qiu Safeng smiled: "There is finally something that can surprise you." Otherwise, this palace thinks that except for Wei Yunju, you won't care about anything. ”
Chu Jiu gathered his mind and turned his head to look at Qiu Safeng.
The turmoil in his eyes Chu Jiu did not hide it, and Qiu Safeng, who was watching it, was stunned for a while.
"I seem to ...... Something important was overlooked......" After Chu Jiu finished speaking, he turned back and continued to stare at Donglian City in a daze.
Qiu Safeng sensed that Chu Jiu's mood was not quite right, and called Pei'er to help her into the carriage.
With a glass of water, Chu Jiu's emotions slowly calmed down.
"What's going on? What scares you about Dongliancheng? Qiu Safeng was more curious,
Except for the time when Wei Yunju took people to the valley to save Qiu Die'er, he almost never saw the wine storage gaffe. At this moment, seeing that Chu Jiu had returned to his original appearance, he asked.
Chu Jiu shook his head slightly.
She couldn't understand anything, and she couldn't say anything.
"How long will it take to enter the city?" Chu Jiu stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain of the car window to look outside.
"An hour, don't worry." No one could ask what Chu Jiu didn't want to say, Qiu Safeng knew it early on, and he only remembered it in his heart at this time, but he didn't mean to ask.
The entire layout and decoration of Donglian City seemed a little strange to Chu Jiu.
Their palaces have several courtyards like the castles of the Kingdom of the Heavens, but more of them are actually the same as the houses of Chudu.
The rules in the palace are the same as theirs, they can't ride a horse or ride a carriage in a sedan chair, Qiu Safeng personally took Chu Jiu inside.
Chu Jiu was looking at the layout of the palace all the way. It's not the same as Chu, but it's not particularly different.
Pei'er has not lived in the Chu capital for a long time, but she is familiar with the palace of Chu State, and she is faintly surprised at this time.
She gently tugged at Chu Jiu's coat.
Chu Jiu turned his head to look at her and shook his head slightly.
In the palace hall, Qiu Fang was already sitting on the throne and waiting.
Qiu Safeng and Qiu Fang look very similar, and they have a pair of smiling eyes from the royal inheritance of the Western Shu Kingdom. No matter how condensed the aura is, it will be softened by these eyes.
"The emperor of Chu, the envoy of Wu, Chu Jiu, meet the king." Chu Jiu gave Qiu Fang a standard bowing salute.
"Envoys, please." Qiu Fang glanced at his son as he spoke.
Previously, when the son came back from a trip to Wu State, he said that the husband and wife of Wu Guofu Zhengwang had a special status, and he talked about what happened during the period in detail.
It's because Qiu Dieer's marriage said a few more words about this woman.
Now it seems that Qiu Safeng's jealousy of her is not groundless.
This woman excludes her identity, but looking at this calm and unhurried attitude, she compares the children of the family of the prince and general of Xishu to some extent.
"The envoy is running all the way, take a rest first, and I will prepare a palace banquet later, and let Feng'er personally pick you up when the time comes. The rest of the things will take time to talk about slowly, and I have heard that the envoy is a good businessman, and I have a lot of things to communicate with the envoy. Qiu Fang said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Jiu saluted.
The palace was arranged by Qiu Safeng, including the guards, all of whom were his cronies.
After sending people in, Qiu Safeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"These are all my cronies, you can use them with confidence. The situation in Xishu is complicated, don't run around if you have nothing to do. Father's attitude today is not right, you should be careful. Qiu Safeng was in a hurry, obviously a little panicked.
