"Childe, I really can't imagine that the legendary prince of the princes... The Dongyi where I live is like this, far worse than our Jili and Sheyu New Town under construction, and this pavilion, I don't know how long I haven't lived there. ”

"yes, yes. Winter Shi, who had already parked the airship in the pavilion, nodded again and again as he looked at the courtyard full of weeds and the eaves covered with cobwebs.

Zhang De shook his head and said: "Childe didn't say anything, whatever you say, shut up for me, this time Childe came to Dongyi to do business, no matter how dilapidated the room is, it is also the nominal co-lord of the world, and the position of the prince must be sealed by him." ”

The warriors stopped talking suddenly, and Zhang De immediately saw Wang Yue look at him appreciatively, and his heart felt as if he had eaten honey.

At dusk, Wang Yue and his party were placed in the pavilion and had never seen anyone again.

Under the leadership of an official who was about 30 years old and could be called young, a group of people came into the pavilion and began to clean the courtyard, and temporarily replaced some of the dilapidated furniture in the house.

"Childe, Dongyi has not seen visitors for a long time, the pavilion is abandoned, no one is in charge of things for a long time, I have become a doctor in the room, and I am temporarily appointed as the landlord here, but if there is anything, you can greet me, and I have prepared a banquet elsewhere, and I will send someone to send it later, and please wait a while. ”

"Then it's hard work. Wang Yue returned the salute, and felt that the name was a little familiar, as if he had heard Shen Zhi say it, and said: "Your name is Yu Ziqi? Could it be that in the past, he said that Chen Guo sent troops to suppress Jing State, so that Jing State did not dare to go north to invade Shangyang State?"

Wang Yue said three years ago.

Since the last time Jing Guo and Cai Guo fought for hegemony in Shennan, the national strength was greatly damaged, and there was no major move for nearly 20 years after recuperation, until a few years ago, I finally felt that there was some strength at hand, and I felt that Chen Guoliuqing was not in harmony internally, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of each other's constraints, so I wanted to find Chen Guo to fight for a breath of relief.

However, the Chen State is powerful, and the people attach importance to glory, but the Jing State is afraid of attacking the territory of the Chen State, and its six secretaries must unite, in case of stabbing the hornet's nest, it will not be easy to do, so it will not attack its own territory, and found an excuse to send troops to Shangyang State, a vassal state of the Chen League, sandwiched between the two countries.

At that time, the battle between the six secretaries of Chen Guo was already extremely obvious, and under mutual restraint, there was indeed no one who could easily draw strength, let alone go south to have a big war with Jing State, so he sat back and watched Jing State's invasion of Shangyang State, and Shangyang almost perished in this battle.

In the end, it was this Yu Ziqi who personally sent envoys to Chen Guo, and lobbied Chen Guoliuqing one after another, but he didn't know what he said, but the six Qings moved together, and each sent an army to gather troops from the west and Jingguo to make a southward posture, and the frightened Jing State retreated one after another, thus preserving the national glory of Shangyang State.

Yu Ziqi moved the world because of this fame, and even the influence of the family was slightly greater.

Seeing that Wang Yue was surprised, Yu Ziqi had no color on his face, and said: "It's just borrowing Chen **** Wei, it's nothing." ”

"It's the son of Snake Yu, in less than a year, first broke the black beard, and then killed the dragon nest lake god, and was the commander of the Huaishang coalition army, commanding 3,000 troops and chariots to aid Shen, defeating Cai, saving Shen, like the two countries on the edge of the country, and recovering the lost territory for hundreds of years... Now it is even more necessary to repeat the remnant of the snake in the land. ”

"This trip is all admirable. ”

"For hundreds of years, the office that broke the family and destroyed the country did not know how much, and only the son could restore the country, and what was even more rare was that the son still remembered that I was a room, and the tribute gift of the day some time ago solved my house difficulties. ”

"In this matter, Yu Zi thanked the son on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Saying that, Yu Ziqi bowed to Wang Yue and made a big salute, Wang Yue hurriedly held it, Yu Ziqi sighed: "I also heard Lord Nanzhong say about the intention of the son this time, according to reason, the family really shouldn't accept the gift of the son, but now... When Childe came, I had already seen it, and I could only be ashamed to accept it. ”

"As for the prince's desire to read the book collection, I have already arranged for it, and I can go there after meeting the Son of Heaven tomorrow. ”

Wang Yue thanked him immediately, and then let Yu Zi arrange it.

Soon the courtyard was cleaned, weeds were removed, cobwebs were cleaned everywhere, everything in the house was cleaned up, and it looked decent, at least it could be inhabited.

Wang Yue could see that Yu Ziqi tried his best to entertain him, no matter what the purpose was... It's rare to be able to come to the room to meet the son, but unfortunately the dinner is still very simple, but there is no way, and the financial situation of the room is really worrying.

Even the monarch has been forced to hide from debts, what else can he do?

What did Yu Zi take out?

Some of the old liquor that is estimated to be the bottom of the box is pressed into the house, the venison and rabbit meat that are dried and pickled back from hunting, and the rice brought by some merchants from Jing Kingdom in the south, plus some tea that is not very good, and they will make a living.

In this regard, Wang Yue is not picky, as long as he can eat.

Looking at the things on several cases, Yu Ziqi was not very satisfied.

Shaking his head, he asked the waiter to fill a glass of water and wine, and toasted Wang Yue with a glass first: "I'm really sorry for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

Wang Yue held the pottery cup and took a sip slightly, fortunately the wine was mixed with water, although the taste was strange, it could still be eaten, so he drank it full, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there is wine, meat and rice, it can already be called rich, when I was a child, I wanted to use it so richly, I had to have two meals at the end of the year and the beginning of the year." ”

"The world only says that the young man of the snake Yu is young, but he doesn't know that the son is still so embarrassed. Yu Ziqi sighed, drank it in one gulp, frowned slightly, obviously he was choking on this water and wine, and his face couldn't help but blush.

"People who break the country and destroy their families, it is good to be able to survive. Wang Yue put down the wine glass and said: "Besides, it's good to suffer more when you are young, my snake Yu family has a family motto, and you have to suffer hardships to be able to become a master, I can have today, and I have lost the forging of the suffering when I was young." ”

"It's a good sentence to eat hard, so that you can be a master. Yu Ziqi praised loudly: "No wonder Gongzi has this achievement." ”

Wang Yue smiled and gestured to Zhang De on the side, and Zhang De immediately went to the airship in the courtyard outside the house and brought some objects over.

"Thank you Mr. Yu for your hospitality tonight, and Wang Yue also prepared some small gifts, and the right to thank you. Wang Yue raised his hand and said, Zhang De quickly walked to Yu Ziqi's side on the opposite side, and presented the bag containing the object to Yu Ziqi with both hands.

"Snake Yu Gongzi is really polite. ”

Yu Ziqi pushed back and said: "It is my duty to entertain the son today, how can I be a heavy gift to the son, and ask the son to take it back, and then talk about today's wine and the like, it is really worse, alas!"

Wang Yue looked at the waiter on the side, and Zhang De willingly handed the gift to Yu Ziqi's entourage.

"This can't be helped, this can't be helped. Yu Ziqi immediately stood up, but his entourage winked at him.

Wang Yue smiled: "This is a gift to a friend's house as a guest, if Mr. Yu doesn't want to make me a friend, Wang Yue can only regret it." ”

Yu Ziqi couldn't, so he had to respond, but he might as well open his bag slightly, so that he could see what was inside, and he was immediately surprised.

The inside is full of crystal beads (glass beads) with big eyeballs, and a rather delicate crystal bottle, which contains some colorless transparent liquid that I don't know what it is, he is also a person who has seen the world, and it is worth a lot of money at a glance, and he was about to refuse, but Wang Yue said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, this thing is accepted, please dispose of it yourself." ”

Yu Ziqi sighed slightly.

He is an extremely smart person, and he knows Wang Yue's gifts, mostly because he knows his name and values his ability.

It's not the first time he's encountered this kind of thing, but it's just that he hasn't given such a generous gift like Wang Yue.

But his Yu family has worked for Chengmu for generations, and Dongyi is the place where he grew up, and now with their group of people struggling to survive, they can barely maintain, if even he is gone, Chengjia is not only hopeless, maybe not even able to maintain, and it will collapse before waiting for the external crisis.

At this time, although his heart was touched, he could only refuse, but he had already accepted such a big gift, so how should he refuse?

After thinking about it for a long time, he showed a trace of reluctance on his face, but he still relented and said: "The prince is such a big gift for the guests, and the son is the master, and he should also return it with courtesy." As he spoke, he whispered a few words to the entourage who seemed to be very close to him, and the entourage's face suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "My lord, this must not be." Yu Ziqi said: "Are you going to make me rude in front of this son, don't you go quickly." (To be continued.) )
