Chapter Seventy-Nine: Marquis of Chu Zhao
Zheng Guo. Above the court.
The Manchu Dynasty stood respectfully and looked at a gloomy monarch on the throne. The king looked at a bamboo slip, his eyes constantly changing.
"Smack!"
The king slapped the bamboo slip on the table.
"Puff, bastard!" exclaimed the king.
In front of him, kneeling was a messenger.
"King, King Cai is at the entrance of the palace, in front of many people in Shang Cai, he listened to the words of Xu Si, the remnant of Xu Guo, and detained the crown prince!"
The ministers were also angry.
"Dare to arrest my son, Cai Huan Gong, you are looking for death, although my Zheng Guo has just taken Xu Guo, it does not mean that my Zheng Guo has no strength to fight again, hmph, notify the First Legion, press me into the border of Cai Guo!" the king scolded angrily.
"Wow!" replied a minister.
The king stood up and looked south. A coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Cai Guo?
Another month later. Sendan-in.
A trail of snowflakes fell from the sky and scattered in a small courtyard.
Chen Yi, the little witch, and the Lu brothers looked at Jiang Tai.
"Boom!" Jiang Tai lifted an eight-hundred-pound boulder over his head.
"Eight hundred catties, the eighth weight of the quenching realm, Jiang Tai, you are really fast in cultivation!" the little witch sighed.
"Haven't you also improved?" said Jiang Tai with a smile.
The little witch said with a bitter face: "Where can you compare to the three monsters, you can lift 800 catties, and the Lu brothers can each lift 700 catties, how long has it been?
"Fei Fei, you don't have to be presumptuous, you are in the Essence Qi Realm, and you have reached the ninth level of the Essence Qi Realm, and among your peers, you can be regarded as the best!" Chen Yi said with a smile.
"It's not as good as the three monsters!" the little witch said with a wry smile.
Chen Yi looked at Jiang Tai and the others, and he also smiled bitterly. Chen Yi has accepted many students, but these three are the most bizarre, the most edible, and the fastest in cultivation.
"Lu Yixia, Lu Sanxia, last time I asked you to write a letter home, did your father receive it?" Chen Yi looked at Ertong.
"I received it a long time ago, and my father wrote back to me, saying, outside, eat more, and try not to come back!" Lu Sanxia pouted.
"Try not to go back?" Chen Yi said blankly.
How can a father not care about his son's life or death?
"I wrote down the increase in the amount of food in the letter, and my father was probably afraid that we would go back and eat him! Lu Yixia said strangely.
Chen Yi: "..................!"
Jiang Tai: "..................!"
Outside of Shang Cai.
A group of men and horses slowly came towards Shangcai City.
The crowd wore armor, rode horses, and pulled a carriage slowly. But judging from the armor style, it is not Cai Guo armor.
In the distance, the guards at the gate of Cai Guocheng saw people and horses in the distance.
"Chu State Mission?" a Cai State guard looked moved. Quickly greeted him.
A group of men came to a halt.
"Dare to ask, but the envoy of the Chu State?" the guard of Cai Guo immediately said respectfully.
In the mission of the Chu State, a handsome man in a cyan robe rode on a tall horse, only glanced at the guards of the Cai State, and looked at Cai Cheng again.
Cai Guo's guard frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to attack.
"Giggles!" came the sound of two women laughing in the carriage.
"Master Hou, it's here!" a soldier said respectfully.
The woman's laughter rang out for a while before the curtain of the carriage was slowly opened.
But when he saw two extremely beautiful maids, he looked at the inside of the carriage with a smile: "Master Hou, it's time to go to Caicheng!"
"Really?" said a majestic male voice from inside the carriage.
I saw a burly man in a gorgeous black brocade robe, slowly walking to the carriage and standing on the carriage Luyan, holding two beautiful maids with his hands left and right.
"Master Hou, don't, there are people here!"
"Master Hou, giggle, you tickle me, giggle!"
The two maids chuckled lightly, but the black-robed marquis took a deep breath: "Arrived?"
Cai Guo's guard's face changed.
"It turned out to be the Marquis of Chu Zhao of Chu State, I don't know what to do, please forgive me!" the guard of the Cai State immediately said respectfully.
"Master Hou, please enter the city!" said another Cai Guo guard respectfully.
Chu Zhaohou glanced at the Cai State guard, revealing a sneer.
"You are also qualified to invite me into the city, and ask King Cai to pick me up in person!" Chu Zhaohou said lightly.
The two Cai Guo guards froze, but they didn't dare to refute.
"I'll pass through King Cai right away!" said Cai Guo's guard respectfully.
Then, Cai Guo's guards quickly rushed into the city.
Chu Zhaohou looked at the group of 'spineless' Cai Guo guards with disdain, and turned to look at the handsome man in the green robe on the big horse on the side.
"Crane Immortal, what do you think of this Cai Guo's luck?" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile.
The handsome man in the green robe, the crane immortal's expression moved slightly: "Just now I used "Zhou Yi" to occupy a hexagram, the loss hexagram, the upper and lower hexagrams, the upper and lower exchanges, the mountains and the lower Ze, the losses are beneficial, the gains are lost, the losses are gained, the national foundation is shaken, and there is a huge trouble!"
"Oh?" Chu Zhaohou wondered.
It is said that the king has no way, regardless of the life and death of the people below, only cares about his own selfish desires, and under the seemingly gorgeous appearance, he has been in crisis, and the king is even more ferocious and ambitious, but he gradually forced himself into a desperate situation. Loss, loss and gain, but this benefit is shaky!" said the crane immortal with squinted eyes.
"Cai Guo?huh!" Chu Zhaohou showed a sneer.
"Hou Ye, Chu Country is not a place to stay for a long time after all, I look at the weather of Cai Country, or there may be a catastrophe coming, Hou Ye should leave as soon as possible!"
"Crane Immortal, don't worry, I won't stay too long, this time I came by the order of King Chu, everything is important, everything is incidental!" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile.
"That's good!" the crane immortal nodded.
"To be able to get the help of the crane immortals, the blessing of this marquis!" said King Chu Zhao in praise.
"Master Hou doesn't have to be like this, I just came to be your guest at the appointment, when the time comes, I will leave, and I hope that Marquis Zhao won't be embarrassed when he arrives!"
"Crane Immortals, rest assured, Benhou will naturally not be rude!" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile, but there was a trace of disapproval in his eyes.
The crane immortal nodded, and looked at Shangcai City in the distance again.
"Crane Immortal, do you say that the rumors are true, there is a resurrection pill, which can be swallowed and become an immortal?" Chu Zhaohou said curiously.
The crane immortal was silent for a moment and said: "The resurrection pill from the dead, it is rumored that the creation of heaven and earth is rumored, I can't imagine that Bian Que can actually refine it, but according to my master's classics, the resurrection pill should not be as exaggerated as the legend!"
"Oh?"
"Resurrection Pill, Heaven and Earth Creation, the most powerful ability is to communicate the two worlds of yin and yang, which is not human to achieve, to say that eating into immortals, but it must be exaggerated, if you can eat into immortals, why doesn't Bian Que eat it himself? However, maybe eating can increase strength, this may not be false!"
"What happens if I eat it?"
"The creation of seizing heaven and earth, the natural power is endless, if the Hou Ye can eat the resurrection pill, maybe the strength can go to a great realm!" the crane immortal guessed.
"Advanced to a great realm?" Chu Zhaohou's eyes suddenly lit up.
"However, Bian Que shouldn't be an easy person, Hou Ye still don't be murderous!" explained the crane immortal.
"Hmm!" Chu Zhaohou nodded. Although I didn't say it with my mouth, I wrote it down in my heart.
Cai Wang Palace.
Above the court, it was quiet, and King Cai glanced at a circle of ministers, revealing a sneer.
"Zheng Guo, the soldiers are overwhelmed?" said King Cai in a deep voice.
"Yes, King Cai, let's let Prince Zheng go, the war between the two countries will definitely shake the country's foundation!" said a minister of the Lord and the faction with a frown.
"Shake the country's capital, haha!" Cai Aihou said.
The ministers looked at Cai Aihou.
"The king has already announced to the world that Xu Du is already the territory of my Cai State, and Zheng Guo is a traitor, occupying my Xu Capital, robbing my territory, and now he is still pressing the territory with a large army?
King Cai nodded and said, "I, the soldiers of Cai Guo, have always been brave and invincible, so how can Zheng Guo dare to invade my territory, and I will beat them back!"
"Fight back!" Cai Aihou shouted loudly.
The main battle faction immediately shouted: "Fight back!"
"Cai Tianlong!" shouted King Cai.
"The minister is here!" Cai Tianlong immediately came out.
"With Cai Tianlong as the generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, presiding over the Northern Expedition against Zheng, the armies of the northern battalions are all at your disposal!" King Cai commanded in a deep voice.
"Obey the order!" Cai Tianlong responded.
"Scatter the dynasty!" King Cai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The ministers responded and withdrew from the main hall. One by one, there was a lot of discussion.
Although he was given a gift by Xu Guo, it also means that the war with Zheng Guo has officially begun.
Just as the ministers were exiting the main hall, a guard suddenly rushed in.
"Report, the king, the envoy of the Marquis of Chu Zhao of the Chu State is coming, stopping outside the gate of the west city, and asking the king to go and greet him!" the guard said eagerly.
The ministers who had just walked out of the main hall suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"Chu State?"
"I didn't have any news before, what are you doing here?"
"Marquis of Chu Zhao, the State of Chu actually sent Marquis Chu Zhao?"
........................
............
.........
The ministers suddenly stopped, Chu is different from other countries, Chu is one of the five hegemons in the world, and Cai is also a member of the Chu Alliance.
The most important thing is that the state of Chu is right next to the state of Cai.
The envoys of the higher country to the lower country are generally not too noble.
But this time it was indeed the Marquis of Chu Zhao who was there in person, and everyone instantly raised their spirits.
King Cai frowned and glanced at Cai Aihou, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. At this juncture, why did the State of Chu send an envoy?
"Ministers, follow the widow to greet Marquis Cai Zhao!" King Cai said solemnly.
"Yes!" the ministers shouted.
Under the leadership of King Cai, the ministers quickly walked out of the palace and walked towards the west city gate.
Outside the city.
While the Marquis of Chu Zhao was talking to the Crane Immortals, there was a commotion in the city gate in the distance, and a large number of Cai Guo's courtiers and guards poured out, hugging King Cai and quickly approaching him.
Chu Zhaohou smiled slightly, and a wave of arrogance flashed in his eyes!
