Chapter 334: Wei State

Qi Yu could understand Wei's vigilance, but he was not angry about it, after all, if he hadn't persuaded Tian Dan, the mission of this trip should have been to unite with South Korea against Wei.

Although Qi Yu did not express dissatisfaction, the guards behind him glared angrily at Sheng Nian and pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing this, the soldiers brought by Sheng Nian scolded, also held down their blades, and looked at everyone vigilantly.

Qi Yu hurriedly pressed his personal guards and ordered them to be safe and restless, and then smiled at Sheng Nian and said, "If General Sheng has any doubts about this mission, let's wait for a while, and wait for General Sheng's people to find out the situation, okay?"

Sheng Nian expected that there was a problem with the fleet, but he didn't expect Qi Yu to be so confident, so he didn't answer him directly, but wanted to speak with facts.

Sheng Nian let out a nasal "hum", noncommittal, but no longer talking, walking around the bow of the ship at will, sweeping the messengers with sharp eyes from time to time.

There was a noise behind the main ship, mixed with the screams and cries of children, and it was thought that the Wei soldiers who suddenly broke in in the middle of the night frightened the children.

Soon a soldier came running to report to Sheng Nian: "General, there are many children hiding on the ship, many of them are unclothed and look like hungry people. ”

Sheng Nian raised his eyebrows in surprise, he didn't expect that what he found was not a prohibited item, let alone a hidden army, but some crying children.

Sheng Nian waved back the subordinate and was about to ask Qi Yu when several more soldiers boarded the main ship to report.

"Back to the general, there are a total of 1,000 Qi soldiers in the fleet, and the subordinates and others have checked it again and again, and it seems that there is no abnormal problem, that is, ...... There were a large number of homeless people hiding in each boat, men and women, most of whom were old and weak, and although it was hard to believe, these hungry people looked ...... Not a threat!"

Several soldiers had already crossed each other on the way back, and at this time one of the soldiers summed up the situation of the fleet and reported it to Sheng Nian.

A look of surprise appeared on Sheng Nian's face, he frowned, and turned his head to look at Qi Yu suspiciously.

"Qi envoy, who are you?"

The soldiers withdrew from the cabin after the search, and the cries of the children on the main ship gradually subsided.

Qi Yu showed a decent smile and replied: "These are all displaced people who are sheltered in Weiguo, and when I saw the miserable situation of the Wei people living in poverty and displacement, I couldn't bear it, so I took them in, and it was precisely because I wanted to shelter all the hungry people that I had to buy a lot of ships and food in Puyang, the capital of Wei!"

Sheng Nian's heart swelled with extremely ridiculous feelings, and he stared at Qi Yu suspiciously for a long time, as if he wanted to see some other answer from Qi Yu's face.

After carefully checking the official documents such as the envoy group's customs clearance documents, Sheng Nian finally reluctantly let go of his doubts, accepted this unbelievable reality, laughed dryly, and said bluntly: "Since everything is normal, your envoy group can enter the country now!"

Before leaving, Sheng Nian took a deep look at Qi Yu, and looked at Qi Yu's gaze, as if he was looking at a fool, or a wronged man, and seemed to be a little puzzled by Qi Yu.

In response, Qi Yu responded with a proper smile, and watched until he left the main ship until the prime of life, and a deep meaning appeared in his eyes.

After the release, the fleet set sail again, and Qi Yu went down to comfort the frightened poor people on the boats, and personally went to comfort the frightened children on the ship.

After learning that it was Qingqing who stood up and controlled the frightened and crying children, Qi Yu was very satisfied, and in front of all the children, he praised Qingqing, and ordered his subordinates to take their former saber and black dragon sword and give it to Qingqing as a reward.

Although the Black Dragon Sword is not as sharp as famous swords such as the Flying Star Sword, as Qi Yu's former sword, it is also a rare and good sword.

Qi Yu had long observed that Qing Qing had no long things, and the only sword was rusty, so he took this opportunity to reward him with the Black Dragon Sword, anyway, he had the Flying Star Sword and Sword One, Sword Two, and Sword Three, and he didn't need the Black Dragon Sword anymore.

Looking at Qingqing's solemn thanks, when he was happy to play with the black dragon sword, the children's bright eyes shot envious glances, Qi Yu smiled slightly when he saw this, what he wanted was such an effect, Qi Yu told the children loudly that as long as they performed well, they could make meritorious contributions like Qingqing, and they could also get rewards!

Not to mention the children who were motivated by Qi Yu's encouragement, and Gongzi Man, who hid in the dark and watched everything, secretly lost and sad, the fleet arrived at the first big city in the territory of Wei - Guiling after a day's voyage.

During the reign of King Qi Wei, Sun Bin forced Pang Juan to lead his troops back with the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and it was in Guiling that he ambushed, Sun Bin invited his old classmate Pang Juan to eat the first big defeat in his life, and annihilated 100,000 Wei soldiers in one fell swoop, and the Qi army was powerful from then on.

The fleet did not stop outside the city, which witnessed the rise of the Qi army, but continued to swim upstream, and three days later, the fleet turned from Pushui to Jishui, sailed down the river for a short time, and docked outside the city of Huangchi, the terminal of the waterway.

To the south of Huangchi, but only a hundred miles away, is the capital of Wei, Daliang City.

Along the way, what I saw and heard in Wei was very different, Wei was the most densely populated country in the world, with prosperous commerce and trade, and rich land.

This old power that rose at the earliest in the Warring States period has gone through a hundred years of glory and a hundred years of downhill road, and after years of precipitation, it has gone from the bumpy road of being attacked by the enemy on its back and being attacked from all sides to today, but it still relies on the favorable geographical location of the core of the Central Plains, and constantly rejuvenates itself from the predicament, attracting people from all over the world.

Unlike Qi Yu's once seen Qi State's vast land and vast resources, and the bleak evening scene of Wei State, Wei's land area is only slightly smaller than Qi's, but the distribution of cities is far denser than Qi's as a large country in the East.

In fact, not only that, but Wei was the most densely populated and densely populated country in the world, and the mission traveled only four days to pass through a large city almost every day, and the list of small cities and villages along the way was innumerable.

During the Warring States Period, the population was sparse, and all countries had large areas of undeveloped wasteland that were uncultivated, among which the Qin and Chu wastelands, which had the most extensive lands. Although each country has its own policies to encourage the people to cultivate more grain, only Wei, which is located in the core of the Central Plains, has the highest population density, less land and more people, and almost all the wasteland has been developed, and every inch of land has been utilized, so the policy is very different from that of other countries.
