"Can you be more specific?" Ziyou looked at Ou Ming and asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ziyou, our Tangxi Sword Alliance is a Jianghu person after all, and doing business is to be kept secret, the only thing I can tell you is that these three thousand swords, each of them is a sword worth dozens of gold, and any one of them is enough to make ordinary swordsmen love it." Ou Ming said.

"Thank you, Lord Ouming." Ziyou said with a smile, "But I also want to remind Ou Ming Alliance Lord of one thing, there may be problems within the Tangxi Sword Alliance." I didn't mean to provoke the Tangxi Sword Alliance, but this matter is likely to affect the inheritance of the Tangxi Sword Alliance, and the matter of the Qin Sword is still to be kept secret for the time being, so as not to let outsiders know. ”

Ou Ming looked at Zi You suspiciously, and just wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but thinking of Zi You's meticulous mind beyond ordinary people, and he did feel an indescribable weirdness in the Tangxi Sword Alliance recently.

"I made a note of it, and I'll keep it a secret." Ou Ming said.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Ziyou said.

"Then I won't send Mr. Ziyou."

Ziyou saluted Ou Ming and left with a few people, and after leaving the village where the Tangxi Sword Alliance was located, Ziyou stopped his horse and said

"Let's go to the state of Chu."

"Sir, are we going directly to Yunmengze?" Snow Girl asked.

"No, there may be some changes in the state of Chu. Fortunately, I came to Tangxi Sword Alliance, otherwise it would be a lot more difficult to attack Chu. Ziyou said.

"You mean, those three thousand swords were customized by Yingdu? Xiong Qi's subordinates have Chu Mo's support, shouldn't they let Tangxi build a sword for them? And the impact of three thousand swords on the battle situation is negligible. Concubine Yan said.

"I don't know about this, but in the south, I can't think of anyone other than Xiong Qi to be able to customize so many swords with such a large amount of money." Ziyou paused and said, "As for him, he created these swords to deal with the Qin army. A simple 3,000 swords may not be able to cope with the war, but in the Chu State, the 3,000 swords make people have to guard against it, at the beginning, the 3,000 Yue Jia could swallow Wu, and the founder of Chu Mo was Deng Lingzi, the leader of the original God Killing Swordsman, whether it was the former or the latter, the impact on the war was not ordinary. ”

Whether it is the three thousand Yue armor who cultivate the Yue Nu Sword or the Divine Killing Swordsman, once it is put on the frontal battlefield, the three thousand troops that are not weaker than the Iron Eagle Warriors, and then rely on Xiang Yan and the four major legions under him, if they can't do it, they can really stop the Qin army.

"Yue Nu Sword!? Isn't this lost? Flame Spirit Ji let out a surprised voice.

As a descendant of Wu Yue, Yan Lingji also knows a little about the Yue Nu Sword, but no matter what the record is, the Yue Nu Sword and Swordsmanship is unknown after the battle between the Yue Nu A-Qing and the swordsman in the Yue Palace, and the Yue Nu Sword has also been missing since then. But these swordsmanship masters vaguely recorded a few moves of the Yue Nu Sword in the few moves they made with Ah Qing, and passed these furs to the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, and these three thousand soldiers beat the tens of thousands of troops of King Wu and fled.

"According to Confucian records, the last time the Yue Nu Sword appeared was during the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang, when Bai Qi attacked the Chu State, some people wanted to assassinate Bai Qi, and the assassin used the Yue Nu Sword, but unfortunately Bai Qi was in the middle of the army, and the assassin was surrounded by the army as soon as he appeared, and finally ten thousand arrows pierced the heart." Ziyou said.

"In this way, it is really possible that the Chu State has the Yue Nu Sword." Snow Maiden said in surprise.

"It's just possible that Mo Crow will pass information to Luo Wang and ask them to inform Xianyang that I won't go back to Xianyang and go directly to Chu State." Ziyou said to the ink crow.

"No!"

The crow summoned a crow, quickly wrote Ziyou's words on a piece of paper, tied it to the crow's leg, and let it fly away.

"Let's go south directly, go to Shouchun first, and see how the situation is in Fusu!" Zi You said: "Mo Crow, you and Bai Feng will take the first step, go to the vicinity of Yingdu to find out Xiong Qi's recent movements!" ”

"No!"

Ziyou took Concubine Yan, Snow Maiden and Flame Spirit Ji to hurry up and go in the direction of Shouchun, and under the day and night journey of the four of them, the four of them arrived at Xia Cai of Chu State three days later, only one step away from Shouchun.

Inside the city of Xiacai.

Flame Spirit Ji and Snow Girl, who had never been to Chu State, looked around curiously, the folk customs of Chu State were very different from those of the Central Plains, and the costumes of Chu State were the most distinctive among the countries. Because the state of Chu was the first to get rid of the rule of the Zhou royal family, coupled with the reason that the people were fierce and unwilling to abide by the Zhou etiquette, most of the costumes of the state of Chu were magnificent and bizarre, and the gorgeousness and ostentatiousness were the most significant.

The four of them came to an inn, found a relatively secluded place, began to drink tea, and waited for the merchant to serve them food. Soon, the four of them were attracted by the storyteller on stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I will tell you the legendary story of Lord Mo Ao's three broken fat and good water thieves!" The storyteller slapped the wood in his hand on the table and began his story

"Sir, the current Mo Ao of the Chu State is the prince of Fusu, right?" Snow Maiden whispered.

"That's right, listen to it first." Ziyou nodded and said, Fusu entered Chu a period of time earlier than them, looking at the situation of the storyteller, during this time, Fusu made a lot of noise in Chu State.

"Let's talk about the Feiliang Water Thief, that is a group of thousands of thieves entrenched in Shao Pi outside Feiliang City, and its leader is the great thief who is known as the sea dragon. This gang of water thieves burns, kills, loots, rapes and plunders on weekdays, and often robs merchant ships on the lake, which can be described as a local evil, and the fat government does not hate it for a day or two, but it is a pity that this group of water thieves comes and goes without a trace on the water surface of Shaopi, and the government returns in vain every time they suppress the bandits.

It just so happened that some time ago, after King Mo Ao gave off the king's funeral, he passed by here on the way to the fiefdom, and the dragon who entered the sea saw a ship moving on the water and was ready to rob it."

Ziyou listened to the storyteller's vivid narration and listened with relish, simply put, the dragon entered the sea and wanted to rob Fusu, and finally Fusu escaped, and after Fusu escaped, he went to Feiliang to prepare for the bandits, and three strange things happened in the process of suppressing the bandits.

One of them helped Su to see through the collusion between the fat government and the sea dragon, and caught the government to lure the sea dragon to fight ashore, and the sea dragon who was killed fled in the wilderness.

The second is to fight with the sea dragon in Shaopi, using him as bait to fish out the sea dragon and break its elite.

The third led the strange soldiers to break the lair of the sea dragon in one fell swoop, and completely wiped out the sea dragon, a group of water thieves.

In the storyteller's mouth, Fusu was thirteen years old like a god descending from heaven, and he personally went to the battlefield and fought three hundred rounds on the deck of the ship.

Flame Spirit Ji looked at the people of Chu who were listening to it in fascination, and the whole person was a little incomprehensible.

Do these people believe that? Although Prince Fusu has a good reputation in Xianyang, how could a thirteen-year-old child fight with a fierce water thief for a long time? Even if this dragon really entered the sea and got on the ship where Prince Fusu was, let alone fighting, I am afraid that he would be cut into pieces by the six sword slaves as soon as he got on the boat. Flame Spirit Ji pursed her lips and said.

"What they are intoxicated with is not the story, but the person Fusu, there has not been a legendary character in the Chu State for many years, especially this legendary figure still has some royal blood." Ziyou said, "The state of Chu has been in turmoil for decades, and has been defeated by Qin and Wei many times externally, and the throne has experienced three turmoil internally, and the huge state of Chu has now split into two countries.

The frequent defeats in foreign wars made the former hegemonic status of the Chu State disappear without a trace, and the pride of the people of the Chu State was lost. The internal country has been turbulent many times, and many Chu kings have taken turns to take the throne, but except for Xiong Qi, the other Chu kings are not even middle-class, the powerful ministers are in charge, and the powerful collude with the great witch to oppress the people. The people of Chu are getting worse day by day, and Xiong Qi can only be regarded as having means, but he does not care about the life and death of the people, and he has the meaning of being reckless.

The current state of Chu has made the Chu people lose confidence, and now they urgently need a savior to stand up and save the state of Chu and help them build confidence again. And Fusu, with the help of hundreds of schools such as Qin and Confucianism, Taoism, etc., already had a high reputation in Chu. ”

"But Fusu is not a Chu person, will they identify with Fusu so much?"

Just as Flame Spirit Ji finished saying this, someone among the people listening to the book sighed and said.

"Lord Mo Ao is good at everything, but he is not from Chu, otherwise it will definitely be the blessing of my Chu country!"

As soon as the man's words fell, someone slapped the table and said

"What are you talking about? Lord Mo Ao is the grandson of King Kaolie, how can he not be regarded as a native of Chu? Don't you see my Chu country ushering in hope again!? ”

"That's right, Lord Mo Ao has the blood of my Chu royal family in his body, how can he not be regarded as my Chu people? My Chu State does not understand the Zhou etiquette and does not respect the Zhou system. Someone said.

Seeing that there were signs of a fight below, the storyteller on the stage hurriedly stood up and said

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Mo Ao is the crown prince of the Qin State, Fusu, and his mother is the daughter of King Kaolie, so she can be regarded as an authentic descendant of the Chu royal family. If we talk about it from the matrilineal level, he is indeed a person from our Chu country. ”

"That's it, Lord Mo Ao is so brave and wise, and he has the style of the ancestors of my Chu country."

"What do you know, it has been a long time since the third breakthrough of Fusu Gongzi into the sea dragon, I heard that Fusu Gongzi punished those powerful people in the name of sacrifice in the Six Cities, but in fact they oppressed the people and bullied men and women!" A man said arrogantly.

"Brother Ren, when is this going to be?"

"Absolutely."

An inn for eating, now it has gradually evolved into a praise meeting for Fusu, if this is not the state of Chu, Flame Lingji still thinks that he has arrived at an inn arranged by Lu Buwei in Xianyang to enhance Fusu's reputation.

Listening to the words of these people, Ziyou gradually understood how Xiao He and Meng Yi built momentum for Fusu. Xiao He and Meng Yi contacted the disciples of Confucianism and Taoism in Chu, and began to use the name of Fusu to act chivalrous and righteous in various places, suppressing bandits and eliminating violence, which made Fusu's prestige rise rapidly in a very short period of time, and Confucianism continued to emphasize the benefits of Fusu to Chu, and at the same time emphasized that Chu was the first to break away from the rule of the Zhou royal family, thereby weakening the status of Zhou Li in the hearts of these people.

"Fusu Gongzi is doing this, can Xiong Qi and Li Yuan sit still? There is also the newly appointed King of Chu Xiong Xin, is he willing to be forced to be overpressed by Fusu, an outsider? Concubine Yan asked, if it was her, she would definitely not allow an outsider to ride on her head.

"This can't help him, Xiong Xin is just a puppet of Li Yuan. As for Li Yuan, I should be able to guess a little bit of his purpose by now. Ziyou said.

"For what purpose?"

He wanted Fusu to take over the state of Chu and gain the favor of the state of Qin, but he was worried that he would rashly let Fusu become the king of Chu and cause a rebellion among the internal magnates, so he thought of such a way to make Fusu Mo Ao. It is not unreasonable for Li Yuan to be able to control the Chu State for so long and fight against Xiong Qi without falling behind. Ziyou said.

can become a powerful minister of a country, but if his own ability is insufficient, he will soon be uprooted.

"In this way, Fusu doesn't need us to worry about it, what are we going to do next?" Concubine Yan asked.

"Reroute to Yingdu and see what Xiong Qi is doing." Ziyou said.

Soon the food from the inn was delivered, and while the four of Ziyou were eating, two men in hats walked down from the second floor. Ziyou looked at the two of them, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he concentrated on eating.

"There's a problem with these two?" Flame Spirit Ji asked.

"People of the descendants of the Protoss." Ziyou said in a low voice.

"Could it be wrong?" Concubine Yan asked.

"No, the strength of these two people is very strong, but I don't feel that there is the slightest internal force in the two of them, but the power of heaven and earth is very abundant, which is the characteristic of the descendants of the Protoss." Ziyou said, to be able to mobilize such a great power of heaven and earth, in addition to the great grandmaster, there are only people who are descendants of the god race, and there are only a few people in the world of the great grandmaster, and in addition to him, there is only Concubine Yan who is so young.

"Xue'er and Lingji, you go find Luo Wang and tell them about the three thousand swords, and let them cooperate with Mo Yao and Bai Feng in the investigation." Ziyou said, "Let's not go to Yingdu for the time being, let's see what these descendants of the Protoss are doing." ”

"Okay." The Snow Maiden and the Flame Spirit Ji responded, and they knew that their strength would only lag behind if they followed Zi Swim over.

After Ziyou settled the meal money, the four of them acted separately, and Ziyou and Concubine Yan cautiously followed the two descendants of the Protoss in front of them.

After the two descendants of the Protoss left Xia Cai City, they walked straight towards a village. Looking at the village in front of them, Ziyou and Concubine Yan did not enter rashly, but watched outside, and soon the two of them discovered the unusualness of this village.

"The people in this village should all be descendants of the Protoss." Ziyou said, "As the army said before, the descendants of the Protoss are now all gathered in Yun Mengze of the Chu State, wanting to find the door to enter Yun Mengze. Yun Mengze is in Yingdu, and why are they in Xia Cai? ”
