Chapter 462: King Wu, an honest and noble person
The shepherdess's words made Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others, including Qingji, a little surprised.
However, it seems to be a no-brainer!
A country like Suiguo, a small country and a widow, is itself living a precarious life, and it may be destroyed one day.
Therefore, Sui Ren does not care whether his country will perish or not.
In the world of great contention, the nations are fighting frequently, the strong are strong, and the weak are dead!
Just like what the shepherdess said, national affairs are naturally planned by the monarch and nobles, and they have nothing to do with them.
Since the coalition forces besieged Suicheng, they have basically committed no crimes against Li Shu in various places around them, and Suiren can still live the same life as before.
In that case, why should anyone go against the coalition?
This is a very simple truth.
It's not that they don't have a strong sense of belonging to their country, but they really can't choose whether the country perishes or not.
I just want to keep alive!
This is not only the voice of the shepherdess, but also the voice of the people, the voice of the Chu people.
Wu Chu's feud is not unresolvable.
The human heart is made of flesh.
If his life is better under the rule of Wu than under the rule of Chu, why should the Chu people fight to the death with the Wu army?
"You're a little girl, you know a lot."
Qingji chuckled.
"The general looks down on people less, I'm going to get married next year!"
The girl puffed up.
By this time, the girl's wariness of Qingji and others had basically been let down.
"I don't know what to call the girl?"
"My name is 'Qing', and everyone calls me A-Qing."
"Miss Aqing, the widow wants to buy this flock of sheep of yours, what is the price?"
Hearing this, Ah Qing pouted and said, "I can't be the master." This flock is not mine, I am tending it for my master. ”
"Where is your master?"
"Trapped in Suicheng by you."
It turned out to be a nobleman from Suiguo!
Shepherds or cowherds like Ah Qing are actually not a few.
They were generally hired by the nobles to help them herd their cattle and sheep.
Like Old Master Confucius, as a down-and-out nobleman, his family was poor when he was young, and in order to earn money to subsidize his family, he could not get cattle herding in other people's homes.
"That's even better!"
Before Qingji could speak, Bo Yu, who was standing behind him, smiled shyly: "Girl, this flock of sheep of yours has been requisitioned!" ”
Onigiri reads a book
"By ...... Why! ”
Ah Qing said with a glaring eye.
"Our army requisitioned this flock of sheep, that's for your face!"
"Besides, this is not your sheep either, the owner of this flock of sheep is an enemy of our army, and now we have discovered and captured it, isn't that a trophy?"
The way of the words.
This sentence sounds, there is nothing wrong with it!
Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, then reacted, looked at Qingji, glanced at Bo Ji again, and snorted coldly: "You are very cunning!" ”
"If the master finds out that the sheep are missing after the war, won't he trouble me? I can't afford to pay for it then, I'm afraid I'll lose my life! ”
"Girl, do you know who this man is standing in front of you?"
Bo Yu swaggered to Qingji's side and solemnly introduced: "This is the king of our Wu Kingdom!" King Wu wants to eat your sheep, that's your honor, why rap? ”
Wu ...... King Wu? ”
The girl Ah Qing smacked her tongue and said, "Is it the monarch?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Even if I am the king of a country, I can't do such a thing against my will!"
Looking at the girl Ah Qing who was so stubborn, Bo Yu hated it and said, "Bold! You, you really don't know how to live or die......"
"Bob!"
Qingji stopped Bo Ji, who was about to go crazy, and waved his hand to make the latter stand back.
Bo Yan was not convinced, but he couldn't disobey Qingji's order, so he hurriedly retreated behind Qingji.
"Slightly!"
Ah Qing didn't forget to make a playful grimace at Bo Yan.
Seeing this, Qingji was a little ridiculous, but he still stepped forward and said slowly: "Girl, it is the so-called entrusted by people, loyal to people." Although the girl is from a humble background, she understands this truth, which is commendable. ”
"The widow has no money in him now, but he will not ask for your sheep in vain."
"So the widow will first deposit this sword with you, and when the battle is over, he will redeem it with enough money. What do you think? ”
As soon as the words fell, Qingji took off the sword at his waist, the Longyuan Sword.
You must know that this Longyuan Sword is an honest and noble sword, which was forged by Ou Yezi and the two great swordsmen.
Priceless!
Moreover, it is also Qingji's sword, which is equivalent to the sword of King Wu, with great symbolic significance, and it is by no means measurable by money.
Ah Qing didn't take the Long Yuan sword, but tilted his head and said, "How much is this saber of yours worth?" ”
"Hey!"
Bo Yan couldn't help but jump out, pointed at Ah Qing and said sharply: "You little girl is really eyeless!" This Longyuan Sword is priceless! ”
"In other words, you can use it to buy a city!"
"Shhh
Hearing this, Ah Qing couldn't help but gasp, then shook his head and said, "This is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”
Immediately, Ah Qing pointed to a square jade pendant on Qingji's waist and said, "King, your jade pendant is very good, can you use it to mortgage me for the time being?" ”
“……”
This jade pendant of Qingji is a Nine Dragons Jade Order, symbolizing the identity of King Wu.
But all the ministers and doctors of Wu State, local officials, when they see this jade pendant, they can recognize Qingji's identity!
Its texture is superior, its appearance is beautiful and not to mention, but more importantly, it is symbolic.
Qingji hesitated for a moment, then took off the Nine Dragons Jade Order from his waist and put it in Ah Qing's hand.
"The King's ......"
Sun Wu, Bo Biao and the others behind him all wanted to speak out to dissuade them, but they were all waved by Qingji, signaling that they didn't need to say more.
It's just a piece of jade pendant, and the things outside the body, in fact, Qingji doesn't pay much attention to it.
It's a big deal to return to Jinling, just build another piece!
The girl Ah Qingmo took a look at this piece of Nine Dragons Jade Order, and then handed it over and gave it back to Qingji.
"Miss Aqing, you are ......"
"Giggle."
A Qing's mouth let out a crisp and pleasant laugh like a silver bell, and said, "King, I believe you." You are a person of integrity and integrity, and you will definitely keep your word. ”
"So you don't need anything as collateral, just take the sheep."
"Thank you!"
Ah Qing was obviously testing Qingji just now.
And Qingji's performance also made Ah Qing believe that with his character, he couldn't break his word and get fat.
Besides, if Ah Qing is really greedy for money, whether it is the Longyuan Sword that asks for Qingji, or the Nine Dragons Jade Order as collateral, I believe that he can make a fortune and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
"Yikes! It's raining! ”
Ah Qing was startled, only to see that the originally cloudy sky was already drizzling.
