Under the covenant, the people lived a relatively stable life, and neither of the Chu State, which was developing vigorously, and the old Yan State, could not guarantee that they would be able to eat each other, and if they were not completely sure, they would maintain a relatively balanced situation.

In the next few years, there were no major incidents in Chu and Yan, and from time to time there would still be small grinding on the border, but no major wars broke out, and Wei Tiange's prestige in Yan increased unprecedentedly after taking the Jin State.

With the prestige high, there are naturally many people who flatter, under the boasting of these people, Wei Tiange began to be a little arrogant, indulged in the former glory of Yan Kingdom, began to enjoy it, recruited concubines, and left the affairs of the government to his confidant ministers to deal with.

And in order to fill the vacancy in his heart, he kept working the military, in his opinion, as long as the military strength of his Yan country is the strongest, then he is not afraid of someone threatening his position at all, once the male lord who swallowed mountains and rivers, gradually lost his eyes in the wine and meat pond forest, and under the coaxing of a group of courtiers who slipped and patted horses, he thought that with the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yan State, he could have long-term peace and stability, and the state of Chu was just an insignificant existence in his eyes, without internal and external troubles, under the infection of Wei Tiange, the entire Yan Kingdom is indulged in the atmosphere of luxury enjoyment.

After all, when the covenant was reached, every time the merchants of the Chu State went to the Yan State to do business, they Yan State had to extract thirty percent of the tax revenue, and over the years, the tax revenue of the Chu State alone could catch up with the harvest of their Yan State for a year.

By sucking the income of the Chu State, the people of the Yan State were like moths, parasitic on the taxes paid by the Chu State.

The wind of comparison in Yan Kingdom gradually prevailed, and sometimes, for an inconspicuous thing, all parties robbed their heads, and under such an exaggerated atmosphere, it was not uncommon to raise prices.

The price of Yan has doubled a year, for which dignitaries and nobles of Yan State, it is harmless, but for the people of the lower class of Yan State, they are tortured to the point of misery, a bag of grain, from a copper coin before, to now it can be bought for a hundred Wen, caused by inflation, the price of Yan Country remains high, and ordinary people work hard every year for a year, but they can not meet the life of a family at all.

Ten households and nine poor, on the one hand, the miserable people of Yan State, on the other hand, are the dignitaries who enjoy luxury, the polarization of Yan Kingdom has reached an extremely terrifying point, a breakfast of princes and nobles is a year's expenses of a poor family.

And these are just a fraction of Wei Tiange, the prosperous streets of Yandu sing every night, enduring, while the suffering Yan people have been sick for a long time, unable to be treated, and finally moaned in the dilapidated houses, and finally died desolately.

The price hike has led to an increase in the living expenses of ordinary people, but these low-level people of Yan State cannot eat the dividends brought by the taxes of Chu State at all. What really enjoys is only the high-level of Yan Kingdom.

Even so, at this point, the people behind Wei Tiange are still describing to him every day how the people of Yan Kingdom are rich, and they keep praising these are the credit of Wei Tiange, and it is he who brought Yan Kingdom to such a prosperous position.

Wei Tiange, who was completely blinded, listened to these nice words every day, fantasized about the strength of his Yan Empire, and was satisfied with the merits of the moment.

On the surface, a large amount of Chu's finances and taxes flowed into Yan State, and Yan State made a lot of money, but Chu State could only be hard-working, but he didn't know that these things had long been calculated by Dongfang Yu, what he wanted was this effect, and after getting things for a long time, he would slack off, Dongfang Yu's unique vision and far-reaching insight had already dug a grave for the demise of Yan State, just waiting for the decaying Yan State to fall to the point where it would be destroyed at a touch.

And the only sober Wei Yingluo faction, saw the decline of Yan Kingdom, but was powerless to stop it, the most aggrieved thing is that these people who once brought glory to Yan Country are addicted to enjoyment, they hold the power of Yan Kingdom, and sober people, understand such harm, but they have no power, they can only watch Yan Guo go down.

But even so, Wei Yingluo still didn't give up, and continued to cultivate military assassins in secret, and the 700,000 army of Yan State looked like a pang

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A large number, under the boastful rule of Yan Guo, has long lost the blood of the year, and deception happens all the time.

Corruption is also gradually rising in the army, and the people who are sloppy and patting horses are thriving in the middle of it, while those who really care about the war are constantly alienated, depressed and lonely.

Of the 700,000 troops, less than 300,000 actually have battles, and many of the troops are still falsely reported in order to boast of their achievements, because they all know that Wei Tiange cares about the military, so in order to make the military strength more beautiful, an army of 30,000 men and horses has been reported to be 50,000, and 50,000 horses have been reported to have 100,000, so after a real investigation, I am afraid that most of the 700,000 troops of Yan State are flooded, and 300,000 men and horses are all killed.

After all, Wei Yingluo is weak, and there are only a few thousand military assassins who can be used, and the status of military assassins is far inferior to before, and the military assassins who really think about Yan Guo have been constantly suppressed.

Wei Yingluo can't remember clearly, she has secretly solved many invisible crises for Yan over the years with military assassinations, from the assassination of the avengers of the Jin State at the beginning, to the many people who vainly tried to seize power, and the turmoil caused by the power struggle within the Yan court.

Even so, it still didn't arouse Wei Tiange's sobriety, and he was still immersed in the sweet circle he had set for himself.

This also has a lot to do with Wei Tiange's background, the young Wei Tiange is not valued by Emperor Yan, and his childhood is extremely miserable, which princes in the same year as him enjoy the power of identity, so since he was a child, Wei Tiange's heart has planted the seed that he must live better than these people, and now that these things have been achieved, the thoughts in his heart have begun to disintegrate, and he is no longer as full of fighting spirit as before.

The slackness of the Yan State has also made many of the former Jin State remnants begin to move, these defeated Jin State relics have been looked down upon in the Yan State over the years, coupled with the hatred of the previous country, taking advantage of the current misery of the Yan people, they began to come out to spread rumors, inciting the resistance of the people of Yan State, making the already declining Yan State even more precarious.

Under the prosperity of the Yan Kingdom, there has already been a turbulent undercurrent. It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country, it is obvious that when the Yan State has not yet taken the Chu State and achieved unification, it has already begun to indulge in self-indulgence, and has long since self-destroyed the foundation laid before.

On the other hand, on the side of the Chu State, without the threat of war in the Yan State, coupled with the unity of the people of the Yan State, even if it was extremely expensive taxes in business, it still did not stop the strength of the Chu State.

There was Ye Yunyi's plan before, and after Ye Yunyi's disappearance, Dongfang Yu's foresight has always put Chu State on the right path, and at present, the people of Chu State are cohesive, and there is a great atmosphere of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Although the state of Chu has not been as terrifying as the state of Yan in these years, in order to resist the threat of the state of Yan, by now, the state of Chu also has a standing army of more than 300,000 people, and under the training of Xuan Ke and Xu Tingwei, the soldiers of the state of Chu have long been reborn, and the spirit of grandeur has begun to emerge.

Moreover, after Dongfang Yu returned to seclusion, Mu Xun, who took over, further promoted the reform of the internal affairs of Chu on the basis of the previous two, and many complicated institutions were dismantled, and many really useful institutions were set up.

In terms of the selection of talents, the previous imperial examination system has achieved the real selection of talents on the basis of major adjustments, and the continuous development of Chu State continues to produce all kinds of talents, and the imperial examination reform of Chu State has just promoted the utilization of talents in Chu State.

Under the imperial examination system, many talents in the Chu State were reused, and more than 10,000 talents were selected in one year alone.

Under the imperial examination, since there is a party that has been injured, and many injured parties have benefited again through the imperial examination, and the contradictory party has been absorbed and used by us, this is the best system.

The state of Chu was also the first to begin to pay attention to the development of production science and technology, and many agricultural technologies have made great progress during this period, and the productivity has been greatly improved.

Time gradually passed, and Ye Yunyi was exhausted

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The state of Chu, which was saved by scheming, now has the atmosphere of dominating the world. However, when Ye Yunyi was in charge of the Dark Pavilion, the state of Chu was an existence where internal affairs were worried, the prefectures and counties were chaotic, the people were displaced, the border was in turmoil, and foreign enemies were eyeing each other.

In the years since Ye Yunyi disappeared, Ye Yunyi, a name that has never appeared in public, has not been remembered by the world again, but in front of the Ye family's stacked tablets like a hill, there is an unnamed wooden plaque at the bottom, which was prepared by Ye Bo to commemorate Ye Yunyi.

Seven years have passed, and there is still no news about Ye Yunyi, and Tianshu has never given up looking for Ye Yunyi, after Ye Yunyi disappeared, Tianshu handed over all the dark blades to Xuanqi Dali, and she left everything behind and began to look for Ye Yunyi's figure in the place where Ye Yunyi appeared.

Even if there is little hope, she still firmly believes that Ye Yunyi must be waiting for her somewhere, as usual, when Ye Yunyi is in danger, she will appear by Ye Yunyi's side, and when she is helpless, Ye Yunyi will come to her side.

Not only Tianshu is looking for Ye Yunyi, Wei Yingluo is also looking for Ye Yunyi, but the military assassins she has sent over the years, even if she has traveled all over the Chu and Yan countries, there has been no news about Ye Yunyi, she also went to Zhongzhou in the Jin Kingdom, Ye Yunyi has seen the place where she made a promise, where Ye Yunyi robbed her, and it was Ye Yunyi who lifted her red hijab, and since then she has identified Ye Yunyi.

Even if Ye Yunyi is from Chu and she is from Yan, between Chu and Yan, they are destined to be enemies, but they still can't resist her love for Ye Yunyi.

After learning that his apprentice had disappeared, he took his little apprentice Mo Xiaoye to embark on the vast road of rivers and lakes and re-emerged from the mountain, just to find Ye Yunyi's trace.

After Mu Xun took over the government of the Chu State, after all these years of changes, Qin Luoyao did not covet the throne, although she still had the name of the empress of the Chu State, she had not dealt with political affairs for a long time, and under the separation of powers, it had no effect on one less empress.

For this reason, Qin Luoyao changed into the clothes before entering the palace, simple and elegant, a little less luxurious, but a little more fresh and refined. walked out of the Chu Palace, on the edge of the Ye Mansion, transformed the dilapidated Qin Mansion into a peach forest, and planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms in the peach forest every day.

Ye Yunyi said a long, long time ago that if the conditions were right, he wanted to be a hermit who was drunk under the peach blossoms every day and fell asleep smelling the fragrance of the peach blossoms.

Now, she wants to plant peach blossoms and wait for Ye Yunyi's return. The breeze blows, rolling up the petals of thousands of peach blossoms, changing various vivid images in the air. Qin Luoyao sat on the stone slab under the peach blossoms in a daze, supporting her side face with one hand, quietly looking at the bluestone paved path in front of her, the quaint stone slabs, thousands of peach forests, and a pot of wine on the table, as well as the lonely and pretty shadow of looking into the distance and missing someone, forming a beautiful picture.

Tens of millions of peach forests, prosperous and a little, next door, Dongfang Yu, the old man, found Ye Bo again to play chess, two old men, white hair dazzling, one hand holding white chess, one hand holding black chess, playing back and forth, the clean Ye Mansion, a lot less popular, but also a little more quiet.

On the ticking chessboard, there is almost no next step to hesitate before agreeing to make a move, this is their leisure time in the twilight of their lives, behind such a calm two, but there is a legend of Bo Shu Yun, but it is not enough for outsiders.

In the eleventh year of the covenant, the still prosperous Zuixian Mansion welcomed a unique guest today, that is a woman carrying a medicine box, wearing a veil, wearing a light bamboo green shirt, and walking with a fragrance of medicine, which makes people smell intoxicating.

Several drinking spectators were very curious about the identity of the visitor, knowing that this woman entered the taboo of the entire Drunken Immortal Building, the room by the window on the third floor.

The status of the Drunken Immortal Building is well-known in the Chu State, the boss is the sister of the current Empress of the Chu State, and there is also a Suizhou County and Lanze County Guard Xu Ziling behind him, and the relationship between them is powerful and they dare not touch it.

And the entire room by the window on the third floor has not been opened so far, according to Zuixianlou, that room is reserved for one person.
