Chapter 256: The King of the Nine Empires
Jin Buchou mentioned this, Yu Qingwu naturally figured out the thoughts of the Jin family, he just nodded, and then looked at Ji Chenggang, who he hadn't seen for nearly half a year, and said, "Chenggang, how did you have time to escape to the imperial capital?"
The king of Jizhou has always been strict with himself, but he gave birth to a ruffian son, and fled Jizhou twice in three days to fool around in the imperial capital, so he had banned Ji Chenggang's feet many years ago, but Ji Chenggang still escaped several times with his cleverness, and this time was no exception.
Seeing that Yu Qingwu didn't mention his own affairs, but asked Ji Chenggang, Jin Buchou rolled his eyes and said: "I said His Royal Highness the King of Fuyao, have you listened to my words? Once the Jin family chooses to support the war, and you are the Sima of Great Xia, you will not even rule out the possibility of becoming a Taishi in the future, so you and I will have to stand on opposite sides!"
He regarded Yu Qingwu as a brother, so he told Yu Qingwu about the development direction of the Jin family, after all, if it really developed like this, the two of them would not be as close as in the past.
It's just that he doesn't know what to do, what Yu Qingwu wants is chaos in the world, what he wants is that the Xia family will never recover, the Jin family's decision coincides with his intentions, and he is naturally happy to get the Jin family to fund the rebellion of Xiaobang. However, in order to calm his heart, Yu Qingwu still said: "We are us, the Jin family is the Jin family, as long as we still regard each other as brothers for a day, we will be brothers for a day!" After a pause, he looked at Ji Chenggang who was drinking tea by himself again, and said, "You won't know that I am going to Jiuyi tomorrow, so you came to practice it for me, right?"
"I'm going to fight with you!" Ji Chenggang was speechless, and he was endless.
"What, I heard you right, right?" Yu Qingwu's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.
Ji Chenggang shrugged his shoulders and said: "The old man at home has always wanted me to enter the army for training, but it obviously can't play a role in training in the Jizhou army, so after the Yanzhou incident, I said that I would follow you, otherwise do you think I can escape from Jizhou?"
"This ......" Yu Qingwu lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally agreed to Ji Chenggang to let him enter the Blackwood Army, and took him to Jiuyi to ask for troops. If the matter of Yanzhou can be solved perfectly this time, Ji Chenggang will be the general of the Blackwood Army, after all, when Huang Lin handed over the Blackwood Army to him, he didn't give a general.
That night, the three of them had a small gathering in the Tingfeng Pavilion, and Jin Buchou was sullen all night, obviously still looking for the Jin family's business.
The next day, Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang set off for Jiuyi, and what made Yu Qingwu speechless was that this time Ji Chenggang actually abducted his father, the King of Jizhou's mount, the Golden Eye Beast. This water-clearing golden-eyed beast is also extraordinary, it is a divine beast in the water, not only can enter the water but also fly into the sky, ranking twentieth in the spectrum of ten thousand demon beasts.
It is said that this water-repelling golden-eyed beast was a disaster in Jizhou, Jizhou Wang Ji Xie led 100,000 Jizhou troops, and it was recovered after losing nearly half of the troops, and since then this water-repelling golden-eyed beast has also become Ji Xie's mount. This golden-eyed beast is invincible in front of other beasts, but when it meets Xiaohong, it is as well-behaved as a cat.
To this day, Ji Chenggang has learned from Jin Buchou's mouth that Xiaohong is a Warcraft Poor Qi, and today he didn't even dare to make a mistake in front of it, thinking that he was actually trying to buy Xiaohong back then, he blushed for a while, and secretly said that it was good that he didn't buy it, otherwise he would have become Xiaohong's belly.
After the two of them rode out of the city, they flew into the clouds and went straight to Jiuyi. Although the water-clearing golden-eyed beast can soar through the clouds and mist, it is a divine beast in the water after all, plus the cultivation is invincible to Xiaohong, and the speed is naturally not as fast as Xiaohong, so Xiaohong has to slow down, Rao is so, the two of them and the two beasts only took less than two days to rush to the capital of Jiuyi.
One of the two is the king of Fuyao and the Sima of Daxia, and the other is the prince of Jizhou, and they were enthusiastically introduced to the palace after revealing their identities. The palace guards led the two directly to the inner courtyard, saying that the King of Jiuyi was bathing, and asked the two to wait for a while.
After waiting for a stick of incense, no one came, Ji Chenggang crossed his arms and said with a smile: "It seems that this King of Jiuyi has guessed our intention and is pulling a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures!"
It stands to reason that the two of them should have been led to the main hall, even if the King of Jiuyi is not there, there should be a few ministers to receive them, right? But there is no one, and they have brought the two of them to this courtyard, and there is a good chance that the king of Yi and those ministers will discuss the intentions of the two of them in the main hall.
Yu Qingwu smiled and asked, "Do you think that after we express our intentions, will the King of Jiuyi send troops?"
"Yes!" Ji Chenggang insisted on it, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Maybe Jiuyi has different intentions, but they also know that even if they want to rebel, it shouldn't be this time, because Taishi Yutao is still alive, and His Majesty the Human Emperor is still young!"
The current Xia Luqi is of course absurd and unreasonable, but no matter how absurd and unreasonable, it is only one year, and in just one year, it is not enough to exhaust the national strength of Great Xia, plus there is also the military god Taishi Yutao, the leaders of the small clans of all countries will not choose to rebel at this time if they have some brains!
"Then why do you think Yanzhou refused to pay tribute at this time, looking like it wanted to rebel?" Yu Qingwu continued to ask.
Ji Chenggang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe the King of Yanzhou thinks that the strength he has accumulated over the years is enough to compete with Great Xia, so he wants to take advantage of the matter of paying tribute to try the bottom line of Great Xia, or maybe he wants to use this to stimulate the princes of the world to rise up and fight Xia, anyway, he definitely has no good intentions!"
Yu Qingwu nodded, secretly saying that Ji Chenggang, this kid is a fool on the surface, but in fact his brain is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. In fact, this is also understandable, after all, he was born in a family of princes, and the education he received since he was a child is not much worse than that of the emperor, even if he is stupid, he will be able to open up a little bit of knowledge.
Of course, except for people like Da Niu, he is completely a freak, no matter how others beat, he can't open his mind, on the contrary, in front of women, especially beautiful women with big breasts and big butts, he will open his mind!
Not long after, a burly middle-aged man at the entrance of the courtyard came in the company of several palace maids. Behind a few people, there were also a group of officials holding jade plates and delicacies. Before entering the courtyard, his loud voice came: "Ha Luha, His Royal Highness King Fuyao and Ji Shizi are here, and it is really a sin to be alone!"
Needless to say, the only person who can call himself 'lonely' in Jiuyi is the king of Jiuyi.
When he came to the table in the courtyard, he smiled at the two people who got up, and then put away his smiling face and said to the officials who came behind him with dishes: "Put it down!"
After the wine and food were served on the table, and the idle people also retreated, the reckless King of Jiuyi raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, Lone just went hunting, sweating, and had no choice but to take a bath before coming to see His Royal Highness and the prince, please forgive me for the neglect!" After speaking, he raised the wine glass to the two, and then drank it all.
"The king is serious. ”
Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang also followed after a drink, and said: "It is also said that Xiao Wang is abrupt, I should have said hello to the king in advance, but the situation is serious, so I have to take the liberty to visit." ”
Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, a sneer flashed in King Jiuyi's eyes, but he immediately returned to normal, and Da Yan smiled: "Your Highness and the prince are both young heroes, and their reputation is spread all over the world, isn't there a list of sons, both of them are on the list, Lone has long wanted to get acquainted, today the two young men are here, but you must have a good time for a few days and have a few drinks with Lone!" After speaking, he raised his glass to clink glasses with the two.
The two of them sneered in their hearts, this King of Jiuyi seemed to be vulgar and unbearable, just like a reckless man, but in fact, he was exquisite, and he didn't want the two of them to show his intentions. For this situation, it is really difficult for ordinary people to talk about things, but Yu Qingwu didn't eat this set, and directly took out the emperor's edict from his arms, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to drink, let's finish the business first, the king is going to drink for three days and three nights, and Xiao Wang will accompany him to the end!"
The Emperor's edict came out, and the King of Jiuyi was not easy to pretend again, so he immediately put down the wine glass and took the edict, and said while unfolding it: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the People's Republic of China, what is there that needs to be done alone?"
"The king knew it when he saw it. Yu Qingwu smiled and raised her eyes.
From the moment Yu Qingwu and Ji Chenggang stepped into the territory of Jiuyi, the king of Jiuyi guessed the intention of the two, and what was written in the edict at this time, he knew the Tao even if he didn't read it. However, he still glanced at it, and when he saw that he was going to send 100,000 troops, Rao was already prepared, and he still frowned.
When he came to see Yu Qingwu and the others, he discussed with the ministers that they could send troops about Yanzhou, but at most 50,000 for show, because once they sent too many troops, if they really fought with Yanzhou, they would be defeated, and then they would lose their troops and make a wedding dress for Daxia!
Yanzhou intends to rebel, and he Jiuyi also has this idea, but because the relationship between Jiuyi and Daxia is not very good, Daxia has always been defensive against Jiuyi, so he does not dare to easily raise troops to rebel. At this time, if you really do your best to be a spear for Great Xia, wouldn't that be tantamount to self-destruction? However, if you don't have any strength at all, and it's not good to face Great Xia, weigh it, including him and those ministers, you will decide to send 50,000 troops, no more, no less, even if the whole army is annihilated, it will not shake the foundation of Jiuyi, and in a few years, this loss can be replenished, and it can also calm Daxia's heart.
But when he saw that the edict said that Jiuyi would send 100,000 troops, he was on fire in his heart. You must know that although Jiuyi actually has 200,000 troops, it is said to the outside world that there are 100,000 troops, and Daxia wants Jiuyi to send 100,000 troops at this juncture, doesn't it mean that Jiuyi and Yanzhou are desperately fighting!
Thinking of this, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and said to Yu Qingwu, who was smiling lightly......: "Your Highness, Jiuyi has a total of 100,000 troops, and tens of thousands of them must be stationed along the coast to prevent sea beasts from raiding, how can you get 100,000 people to enter Yanzhou north?"
