Wu Guo Night

A secret room, with flickering candles, looks mysterious and obscure, stretching the dark shadows of the two of them long. This secret room is the secret room of Ji Guang, the real power figure of Wu State, and today I met with Wu Yun, the border general of Wu State. Wu Yun is tall, majestic, with bright eyes, and is a remarkable figure at first glance; Ji Guang is slightly shorter than a normal person, with a pair of mustaches lying on his lips and a goatee hanging down on his chin, and his appearance looks ordinary, but every word he says, Wu Yun listens respectfully as if listening to teachings. Wu Yun, a general with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, was like a student in front of a teacher in front of Ji Guang, who was in power.

Wu Yun handed a piece of information to Ji Guang with both hands, Ji Guang looked at the letter, his pupils suddenly tightened, put the letter down, and whispered to himself: "I didn't expect this...... But...... Things won't get out of control......"

"I didn't expect Chu Zhongli to be so powerful! He actually wiped out all the people we sent, including the 'Purple Electric Sword' Geng Shiqiu, originally I just thought he was a gentleman, but I really lost my eyes. Wu Yun said.

"Chu Zhongli is indeed not simple. Ji Guang said lightly, and then put the information on the candle flame and burned it, and said while burning: "But Geng Shiqiu, it must have been killed by Ji Qingji." ”

"Ji Qingji?" Wu Yun was surprised this time. "Isn't Ji Qingji the crown prince? How could he get involved with Chu Zhongli? Besides, if he killed him, why did he write 'Chu Zhongli annihilated the bullhead mountain bandits'?"

"A few days ago, I received another piece of information, Ji Qingji went to Linjiang City alone, beat Chu Zhongli to the desert and fled, and then Chu Zhongli appeared in Shixi Village and killed the five-clawed dragon and Geng Shiqiu, if he had the ability to kill Geng Shiqiu, he would not have been beaten by Ji Qingji and fled. All this shows that in just a few days, Chu Zhongli and Ji Qingji have achieved unity, and the purpose of the alliance must be because they have a common enemy. The candlelight shone on his face, reflecting his grim face in detail, and slowly spit out a few words in his mouth: "And that enemy is me." ”

"My lord is really clever, and I will admire it in the end! I will ask my lord for more advice in the future!" Wu Yun arched his hand and said, his head lowered slightly, but he thought in his heart, Ji Guang's intelligence is indeed far above me, but what surprises me even more is that his intelligence network is so tight and fast, I have tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, and there are also many scouts, so I have not received this news at all, it can be seen that Ji Guang can be unanimously supported by the nobles is not for nothing, at least in terms of talent, he has the ability to lead the state of Wu.

Ji Guang saw Wu Yun praising himself, and smiled at him: "I don't dare to be clever, I just have a lot of ears and eyes, I have thirty percent of my ears and eyes to monitor Wu Wang's bureaucracy, but seventy percent of my ears and eyes are used in Chu State." I naturally know many things about the Chu State. Intelligence is the most important thing, and without accurate intelligence, even with the highest level of ingenuity, it is impossible to make correct judgments based on misinformation. General Wu, you are the one I admire the most among all the generals, and you should be able to understand it after listening to it. In fact, these words were completely said by Ji Guang to win over Wu Yun, the purpose was to make Wu Yun feel that he regarded him as a confidant, so he told him the number of his own eyes and ears, and told him a "secret" that seemed to be him, and it was not difficult for him to say a few such nice words. What he wants to do is to make Wu Yun form a loyal emotion towards him on the basis of common interests with Wu Yun.

"Thank you for your teachings!" Wu Yun heard this, and knelt down on one leg excitedly, with admiration shining in his eyes. Ji Guang gently helped him up.

After a while, Wu Yun whispered again: "There is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”

Ji Guang said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Wu Yun said: "My lord, you have already won the support of most nobles and generals, and there are still a large number of ears and eyes and dead soldiers under your command, in terms of strength, you are already the lord of the Wu country, and the last general does not know when you will be able to comply with the mandate of heaven and become the true emperor of the Wu country?"

When Ji Guang heard this, he twisted his beard in his hand and smiled without answering. made Wu Yun very embarrassed, and said: "It's the last general's lie, and the last general will leave." ”

Ji Guang said: "This matter, at least for now, is not possible. ”

Wu Yun heard this, and stopped to listen to Ji Guang's words. Ji Guang said: "As you said, I am now the actual lord of the Wu Kingdom, that Ji Feng is like a fish, I have pulled out his thorns, but now is not the time to eat, because there are many tigerish eyes next to me, if they look at you, I eat this fish, they go up and stab me in the back, my fish will have to be swallowed with blood." ”

Wu Yun arched his hand and said, "The last general...... I would like to hear about it. ”

Ji Guang said: "Don't say anything else, let's talk about Chu State, Chu State is the old enemy of our Wu State, recently the King of Chu is about to pass his birthday, seventy birthday, he must have a name, if we do it recently, they will directly change the banquet into a venue to discuss how to deal with us, and our fish will be meaningless at all." Anyway, it's been a while. ”

......

Chu Zhongli and his entourage, after leaving the Black Dragon Pond, galloped on a horse for a day or two, and then came to Lingqu Town near Yunmengze, because the interior of Yunmengze is too dangerous, so there is no stronghold in this demon domain, Lingqu Town is the closest town to Yunmengze, and it is also equivalent to the nearest supply point to Yunmengze. There are many mercenaries, rangers, and explorers who enter Yunmengze, and they will stop in Lingqu Town. Therefore, the inns, weapons and armor shops, and pharmacies in Lingqu Town are all very popular. Moreover, there are many merchants, who can not only buy the heavenly treasures harvested from Yunmengze from the merchants, but also sell their harvest in Yunmengze to the merchants, and quickly obtain cash, which is extremely convenient and fast.

But there are pros and cons, and the disadvantage of Lingqu Town is that it is located near Yunmengze, shrouded in the danger that the monsters will kill in a big way. Although after the first war of gods and demons, the gods and humans finally won the final victory, in a period of thousands of years, the demons were compressed in many mountains, swamps, and jungles, so that the demons could hardly affect the normal operation of human society. But the demons, as a strong creature with a much stronger physique than the human race, still have great power when they stay in their own area. There are some demons who are wise and rational, but more demons are no different from beasts, so Lingqu Town is in danger of being destroyed anytime and anywhere, and because of this, Lingqu Town is not built by the Chu State, nor is it a fief of any noble, but it is generated by itself in the strong market demand, and there is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, of course, the imperial court will not be responsible for the security here, and this place has become a three-regardless zone.

After Chu Zhongli and the five arrived in Lingqu Town, they first found a restaurant to eat, and after serving the food, Xiao Er said, "Look at a few people dressed like this, I think they are adventurers, right?" Adventurers are a general term for those who enter the Demon Domain to gain benefits.

Chu Zhongli put down his chopsticks and said, "We are, I don't know what the little second brother has to say?"

Xiao Er said: "I don't dare to be a teacher, but there is a Baicao Gate in Lingqu Town, and the herbs of Baicaomen are really good, if you go in to kill monsters, you must go to Baicaomen to buy ......."

"Hmph!" Zhang Feizi suddenly snorted angrily, stretched out his big black fat hand and slapped the table, there was a pot of soup on the table, and the soup splashed everywhere, splashing all over the placket of the little second brother's clothes.

The little second brother saw that Zhang Feizi was angry, and said with a smile: "I don't know how the little one offended this master, please make it clear?"

Zhang Feizi said angrily: "It's not you who provoked me, it's those people who call themselves Baicaomen! Baicaomen is obviously at the foot of Qishan Mountain in the northwest, but how can you say that it is in Lingqu Town, isn't this selling dog meat on the head of a sheep and smashing the signboard of the real Baicaomen!"

Wanyue said: "Even so, you don't have to be angry like this, right?

Zhang Feizi said: "I am the apprentice of Ye Yunke, the master of the Baicao Sect. ”

These people were all taken aback except for Chu Zhongli who had already known about it, and Lu Chongxi said: "Brother Zhang is talking about Mr. Ye Yunke, who is known as Doctor Ye?

Zhang Feizi said: "How can this be false? At present, my master has not expelled me from the master's door, so it must still be!"

Wanyue said: "You have such a powerful master, why don't you tell us all the time?"

"Well, you don't usually ask me. Speaking of this, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then said: "Besides, I am the most unsuccessful disciple of my master, usually the master always beats me and scolds me, and also calls me a 'bad person', if I still preach it everywhere, it is not equivalent to embarrassing my master......" After saying that, he couldn't hear clearly, lowered his head, and played with his stomach.

Seeing his cute appearance, everyone looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Feizi raised his head again, smashed the table symbolically with his fist, and said: "So I must do something to show my face for the teacher, and I will go and smash the fake Baicaomen later, and see if they dare to mess with the truth!"

Chu Zhongli said, "Okay, I'll accompany you after we finish eating." But if the Baicaomen sells all the good medicines that can really cure diseases, don't smash their business, let them take off the signboard of the Baicaomen, and I can see it. After all, many people pass by this town to buy medicine. ”

Zhang Feizi smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, I have measure, this time it is a lesson for them, let them know that they know that the signboard of Baicaomen cannot be used indiscriminate......ly!

After a while, after a few people finished eating, Chu Zhong left to meet the money, although Chu Zhongli spent all the money before, but Lao Cai secretly found Chu Zhongli and said that the shipyard still had three hundred taels of appropriation left, and he came to return it. didn't go through the treasury at all, and only returned it to Chu Zhongli alone. It is still five small gold ingots worth fifty taels of silver, plus some scattered silver, which is extremely convenient to carry.
