Since the Duke of Qin Wen, it has gone through the efforts of several generations of monarchs.

The Qin State was seeking its own development space, and won victories in the battle against Xirong, and the land of Qifeng was accepted by it, and it successively destroyed Sherong.

Defeated the two Rong tribes of Tai and Hebei, conquered Peng Xirong, marched to Huashan, recovered the land of Du and Zheng, destroyed Xiaoyu, and advanced the territory to the eastern end of the Guandong.

This process took the Qin State a hundred years.

However, it has occupied most of the territory of the Central Plains and has risen to become an emerging power in the West.

By the time of Qin Mugong's generation, the Qin State had already participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and became a second-class power second only to the Jin State, the Chu State, and the Qi State.

It's a pity that Qin Mugong is ambitious, and the national strength of Qin is not bad, but after all, he can't go east, and he is firmly locked by the more powerful overlord of the Central Plains, the Jin State.

As a result, Qin Mugong, who was helpless, could only go west to "benefit the country twelve, open up thousands of miles, and dominate Xirong".

After Qin Mugong, for more than a hundred years, the Qin State continued to decline, and it has long lost the momentum that it used to be able to compete with the overlord Jin State.

Having said that, the national strength of the Qin State at this time was also on the same level as the Qi State, but it was a little poorer......

Looking at the kingdom under heaven, only the Qin army can compete with the Jin army in the car battle.

Qingji also has to admit it!

"Doctor Shang, you are really a rare guest to the widow and to my Wu Kingdom."

Qingji sat on his throne and said with a slight smile: "This can be described as the first diplomatic relationship between Wu and Qin!" ”

"In the Kyushu world, the state of Wu is located in the southeast corner, and the state of Qin is located in the west corner, thousands of miles apart, and there is no negotiation."

"The widow also intends to establish diplomatic relations with the Qin State."

"Good!"

Zihu couldn't help but bow slightly.

He entered Wu this time, and his mission was to establish diplomatic relations with Wu on behalf of the Qin State.

And Qingji's thoughts coincide with the Qin people.

Because they all have a common enemy—

Jin!

There is no doubt about the strength of the Jin Kingdom.

Whether it is the state of Wu or the state of Qin, they all want to be able to challenge the state of Jin, and then win the Central Plains and become the real overlord.

In that case, why can't they join forces to deal with the Jin Kingdom?

Qingji's national policy has always been to make friends from afar and attack closely.

The Qin State is far away from the Wu State, and the whip is beyond the reach, but it borders the Jin State, and the national strength is not weak, which is obviously an excellent ally!

"King Wu, when my minister came, I heard that Zheng Guo was invading Jingdi, I don't know how King Wu felt?"

Zihu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Qingji just chuckled and said, "Zheng Guo, it's just a clown who jumps off the beam." ”

"King Wu should know that Zheng Guo is just a minion of the Jin people now. Zheng Jun's sudden attack on Jing, I am afraid that the Jin people are behind it. ”

Qingji, who heard this, just laughed and said nothing.

Zihu couldn't figure out Qingji's thoughts for a while, so he said suspiciously: "King Wu, I can't hide it, although my monarch is far away in Qin, he has already heard of King Wu's deeds. ”

"King Wu has the style of a hero, and the country of Wu is determined to forge ahead and has become a hegemon. In this case, why didn't King Wu go north and compete with the Jin State for the Central Plains? ”

"If Wu sends troops to attack Jin, I, Qin, should also respond to the call and send troops from the west to attack Jin."

"Wu and Qin join forces, and they will definitely be able to break the Jin Dynasty and help King Wu rank as Fang Bo, the princes of Jiuhe, and the world in one place!"

When Qing Ji heard this, he just shook his head lightly and said, "Doctor Shang, Uncle Qin's kindness is understood by the widow." ”

"However, the Jin Kingdom is strong after all, and it is not comparable to my Wu Kingdom."

"And the ambition of the widow is not to dominate, and the widow does not care about the false name of Uncle Fang."

“……”

Seriously?

Zihu's heart was suspicious.

In fact, Qingji did not deceive Zihu.

Qingji's real ambition is to mix up the world, clear the world, and make there only one country in Kyushu, China-

Wu!

Let there be only one voice in the world -

Wu!

However, with Qingji's lifelong strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it.

It can weaken the Jin State, dominate the Central Plains, and make the Wu State the veritable number one power in the world, which is already the limit of Qingji.

Qingji also knows that this matter can't be rushed.

He's got to be steady!

Zihu induced Wu to attack Jin, but he was just testing Qingji.

The state of Wu and the state of Qin are tied together, and it is indeed possible to be able to do a state of Jin.

However, how can the rest of the vassal states sit idly by?

In case Qin stabbed him in the back.

The Jin people or the Qi people will come to another drama of "respecting the king and destroying the king", and then the Wu State is afraid that it will not perish.

……

At noon, Qingji changed into the king's regular clothes, tied his hair with a purple and gold crown, and left the palace of King Wu with a light car.

His destination this time was to visit Lao Tzu.

Who is Lao Tzu?

It was a famous "sage" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the founder of Taoism.

Lao Tzu's fame is rarely matched by anyone in this era.

The character created by Qingji for himself is "Corporal Lixian", respecting the virtuous and using his energy, naturally he can't snub Lao Tzu.

As the king of Wu in Qingji, as the host, he can summon Lao Tzu into the palace.

However, in this way, his posture is inevitably too high.

So as soon as he was free, Qingji planned to visit Lao Tzu in person.

At this time, Lao Tzu did not live in the house of Jinling City like Zihu, but temporarily lived in the mansion of Daxing Ling Kongqiu.

Because in the early years, Kong Qiu had a relationship with Lao Tzu and formed a deep friendship.

"King, the lord of the villain family and Lao Tzu have been walking together not long ago and going to the Jixia School Palace, but now they are not in the house."

One of the servants in Kongqiu's mansion bowed and replied.

Got a pounce?

However, when Lao Tzu first arrived, most of the time he would not be idle.

This is still expected by Qingji.

Like Qingji, there are many ministers and doctors who came to visit Lao Tzu in Kongqiu's mansion, as well as scholars.

For the world-famous Lao Tzu, everyone wants to see his style.

Therefore, in front of Kongqiu Mansion at this time, it is full of people and traffic, and it is very lively.

"I want to be a 'sister' for this thing."

"Miss Judy, what are you talking about? The small ones can't be heard clearly. ”

Just when Qingji was about to leave Kong Qiu's mansion and go to Jixia School Palace to have a look, he suddenly saw two people talking in the courtyard not far from the entrance of the mansion.

One is an inconspicuous middle-aged man with a short beard, who seems to be the housekeeper (housekeeper) of Kongqiu's mansion.

The other is a blonde beauty with fair and delicate skin, wearing a compact samurai costume that outlines a very bumpy figure.

European?

Qingji was very puzzled.

The appearance of that beautiful woman is clearly of European and American race.

However, it is now the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no advanced means of transportation, how did this Europa woman cross the ocean into China and come to Wu?

Qingji was interested for a while.

Judy was patient at this time, and muttered to the housekeeper, but the housekeeper was confused.

Judy was a little frustrated when she saw that she couldn't understand her own language and had difficulty communicating, but she could only use sign language to prompt.
