Chapter 30: Attacking the Lord of the Gu Kingdom
Shen Qi couldn't help but nod his head when he heard the compromise of the Lord of the Chi Kingdom, and he silently sighed in his heart, if the Lord of the Chi Kingdom did not know the current affairs, it would be a little difficult to do. The establishment of every regime takes a long time to consolidate, and the Lord of the Chi State can see the form in front of him, which is naturally the best, and it is also convenient for Shen Qi and them to act next.
"So what are the two immortal masters going to do? What does this king need to do?" The Lord of the Chi Kingdom did not resist because of Shen Qifangcai's threat, his expression seemed to have thought through a lot of things, and this sentence could be regarded as a reflection of completely accepting Shen Qi's absolute leadership position.
Shen Qi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he was dignified and dignified before he came in, but he also did not lose his demeanor. The middle-aged man didn't look like the lord of the Chi country at this time, but more like a wise man who couldn't solve problems for a long time, and it was at this moment that Shen Qi really realized the man's heartfelt concern for the people.
"You have also seen it, the strength of the two of us in this mortal world, it can basically be said that they are in an absolutely invincible position! This is also the capital that the two of us can carry out the following plan. Shen Qi smiled slightly, his eyes flashed slightly, he didn't wait for the Lord of the Country to ask, and continued,
"Although there is a famine from the sky, according to my understanding of so many days, most of the scope of this famine is only within the territory of Chi Country. But in this mortal dust, it is obvious that there is not only one country in the pool country, we can let other countries open up the surplus grain and help the pool country. ”
"This ......" The lord of the country of Chi listened to the words of the Arabian Nights, he didn't know what to say, although there were many countries around the country of Chi, but he didn't think of seeking help from the surrounding countries. But the question lies here, why do other countries help such a down-and-out country? In the mind of the lord of Chi country, if other countries do not take advantage of the fire to rob, it is already very good.
"How does the Immortal Master plan to let the country help?With all due respect, the surrounding countries have always been eager to move on to my Chi Country, not to mention that the Chi Country is now in the year of famine!"
"Naturally, it is not possible to rely on you, Chi Guo, isn't it that there are two of us to help? I alone can stand up to a thousand troops, if I enter the imperial city of another country and sneak attack, who can stop me? Such a simple truth, the lord of Chi country actually can't think clearly. At this time, He Wen sneered, and his words were full of merciless sarcasm to the lord of the Chi country.
Shen Qi and the others are both people with a certain amount of cultivation, and they are already an unreasonable existence in the mortal dust. As long as the two of them are not surrounded by the army of an entire country, they will definitely not be in danger of their lives, and the world is so big, why worry that there is no place for the two of them? How shrewd the mind of the Lord of the Chi State was, he understood this truth in an instant. It's just that he endured the risk of being ridiculed by He Wen and the others, and he also had to confirm again whether the strength of the two was as he thought, and now he finally put down a stone in his heart.
"As long as the king is willing to give up his own interests, the rest can be left to the two of me, for which country is the richest, does the king have any suggestions?" Shen Qi took out a map out of nowhere, this map recorded several countries including the Chi Kingdom, and the passes and the routes between the countries were very detailed.
The Lord of the Chi Kingdom did not answer immediately, he walked quickly to the map and pointed directly to the place in the center of the map - Gu Guo.
"Gu Guo, but it is said that the people of Gu Guo are good at martial arts, but they are not proficient in the way of farming, so there shouldn't be too much surplus grain in this country, right?" He Wen was surprised, he didn't know why the Lord of the Chi Country would think about Gu Guo, and Gu Guo had never been at war with the Chi State, so naturally there would be no hatred, and there was even little involvement.
"This is not because this king is dissatisfied with Gu Guobing's strong horses, but this king thinks that since the two immortal masters plan to directly use force to force the lords of other countries to compromise, the old country is a good choice. "The lord of the country of Chi looked at the direction of his finger, there are key marks on the map, every citizen of this country is brave and good at fighting, and it can be said that the army is extremely strong.
"Is the army strong? This is also a good choice! After taking the lord of the Gu country, he can summon the world and call on the surrounding countries to help the Chi country, and because of the obscenity of the Gu country, few countries dare to disobey!" Shen Qi clapped his hands and said, he had to admit that this was a good strategy, which could save him and He Wen a lot of time.
"That's it!" Shen Qi clapped, and He Wen naturally had no objection to this.
At this time, the lord of the Chi country wanted to speak and stopped, from the time Mr. Shi said in the court that Lord Lan was killed by thieves and that an immortal master was born, he had faintly connected the two in his heart, but sometimes it might be better to pretend to be confused.
Shen Qi didn't notice such a small detail, but when He Wen saw this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was extremely weird.
......
Gu Guo, a famous military power, has a good position in the entire mortal world.
A few days later, Shen Qi and the others finally arrived at the center of Gu Guo - Yuancheng, Gu Guo was already a powerful country, the territory was stable, the people were rich, and Yuancheng was even more so. The luxury of Yuancheng may no longer be something that Chi Guo can imagine, even if Chi Guo has not experienced famine.
The cries of vendors, singing and dancing performances and countless stalls fill the streets and alleys, and they are not lively.
"It's really prosperous here!" He Wen sighed, after all, he had been in the Chi Kingdom for decades, and he had never seen this scene in the Chi Kingdom.
"Even the city walls have to be built higher than other places, and there are constantly merchants coming in and out in carriages, these residents of Gu Country are quite good at enjoying it!" Shen Qi saw the smiles on the faces of these people, and his mood couldn't help but become a little happy.
"But the people of Chi Country are struggling between life and death, even the people who can flee from Chi Country can't enter these prosperous areas, maybe only you and I can come here silently when no one finds out!" He Wen rarely felt pity for the people in Chi Country who were in dire straits.
......
In the center of Yuancheng, there is an imperial city. If you look at it from the sky, you can see that the center of this Gu country is built according to a big city with a small city inside.
Such a tall building is the only one in Yuancheng, and it is also a symbol of Yuancheng's power, and it is also the absolute concentration of Gu Guo's power, a large number of Praetorian Guards are stationed around, and there is a huge golden plaque hanging in front of the imperial city gate, on which there are four big characters: idlers do not approach.
Shen Qi and He Wen had already arrived at the gate of the imperial city, and when they saw the tight guards around them and the impenetrable guards, they couldn't help frowning.
"Forcibly breaking into his own life is undoubtedly self-defeating, I didn't expect this Gu Country Lord to be so cautious about the prevention and control of his imperial city, what should I do now?" Shen Qi said softly to He Wen.
"Although the two of us can block a hundred in this mortal dust, if we fall into such a dense army, it will be a little troublesome, even if they can't hurt you and me, but even if we are tired, we will be tired to death! He Wen's face was grim, he had lived for decades, and finally had a chance to return to the immortal cultivation realm, so he was naturally unwilling to die here for no reason.
"That's all there is to it. But if you go in, you will face another problem, if you don't have a map of the imperial city, where can you find the Gu Country Lord?" Shen Qi whispered.
"Naturally, there will be a chance, don't rush, just wait. ”
"That's all there is to it. Shen Qi responded.
......
Zuo Zhongran is a popular official in Gu Guo now, and he is deeply trusted by the king of Gu Guo, but his pride in merit is one of his fatal shortcomings
Zuo Zhongran was born in a family of eunuchs. He has been influenced by the atmosphere of officialdom since he was a child, and he has indeed shown extraordinary talents in officialdom, so Zuo Zhongran was pushed to the front by his family.
The Zuo family has been an official for generations, and Zuo Zhongran has indeed performed well in the opinions of many countries' political affairs, and he is extremely favored in the imperial dynasty. And because Zuo Zhongran personally led the army to quell the war in the north, the lord of Gu called Zuo Zhongran the backbone of the court, both civil and military, and in the limelight for a while, it can be said that he is in power.
Zuo Zhongran, who was in an important position, became the target of many traders and lower-level officials to pay large-scale bribes. Or New Year's holidays, or clever names, many traders to give gifts, banquets and other small favors to win over the left middle dye, this, the left middle dye does not refuse.
Today, Zuo Zhongran received an invitation from a well-known salt merchant in Gu Guo and promised heavy profits. Therefore, he walked out of the imperial city early, and the carriage he was in was very valuable at a glance, and the four horses in front of him galloped it, and the pomp and circumstance were solemn.
Shen Qi and He Wen, who had no goal for several days, naturally also targeted Zuo Zhongran for the first time.
"The pomp is so big, his status in the Gu Kingdom is definitely not low, do you want to catch him directly and torture him?" He Wen licked his chapped lips, looked at Shen Qi's suddenly shining eyes, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, follow along, I want to see what he's going to do when he leaves the imperial city?" Shen Qi beckoned to He Wen, hanging far behind the carriage where Zuo Zhongran was sitting.
......
Mingfeng Building, this is the most famous restaurant in Yuancheng, it is said that the people who built the building are very large, and the non-dignitaries here can not enter.
Today's Mingfeng Building is obviously more lively. After all, Zuo Zhongran's current position in Gu Guo can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and to put it mildly, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.
"Today, I, Hong, invited Mr. Zuo to a banquet in Mingfeng Building, and I also thank Mr. Zuo for appreciating his face and accepting the invitation. Hong is also a straight person, I said ugly things in front, no matter who the person behind Mingfeng Building is, but it must not be as good as Lord Zuo, if it is because of you subordinates who make Lord Zuo dissatisfied, don't blame Hong for turning his face!" A burly man shouted in front of Mingfeng Building, and there was a row of maids and servants on both sides in front of him.
"Boss Hong, rest assured, the custody arrangements are in place, and Lord Zuo will be satisfied!" A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out of Mingfeng Building, he looked at the big man with some disdain, but when he thought of Zuo Zhongran, he was a little afraid, and he looked a little respectful.
