Chapter 40: Maturity
The demon body Jiang Tai opened the Temple of Death in the Yingdu of Chu State!
Jiang Tai, who was in Wu Guogusu, assisted Wu Zixu in sorting out Wu Guo's intelligence system.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. Kang Tae was ten years old.
However, Jiang Tai is still quietly sorting out the intelligence system. This year, Jiang Taixiu also made rapid progress with the help of the Sea God Fruit.
When cultivating, using a zhang red light mask, the internal time slowed down by ten times, but Jiang Tai's own absorption was ten times faster than the outside world, that is, using the Seagod Fruit, the absorption efficiency was ten times that of the previous one.
"Boom!"
In the practice room, Jiang Tai puffed out a stream of air around his body.
Jiang Tai's eyes opened, looking at the slightly dim Seagod Fruit in his palm.
"The second weight of the Jindan Realm?" Jiang Tai's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
The mind sank into the lower dantian, and in the lower dantian, the Jingyuan vortex disappeared, and was replaced by a solid golden pill the size of a soybean. Jin Dan slowly rotated, absorbing the endless amount of energy.
Jiang Tai's figure has also improved by leaps and bounds during this period, and when others look at Jiang Tai again, they no longer feel like a child, at least they are already a teenager on the outside.
The appearance of a teenager, the heart of increasing maturity and sophistication.
Getting up, the young Jiang Tai dusted off his sleeves and slowly stepped out of the practice room.
Outside the practice room, a group of subordinates were waiting.
"My lord, the latest news has come that Wu Qi has appeared in the territory of Cao Kingdom!" said a subordinate extremely respectfully.
Looking at the young man in front of him, no one dared to underestimate him, although it was not obvious, but King Wu attached great importance to him, and, under his tidying, the entire intelligence department slowly became complicated.
Indeed, it's complicated.
In the past, most of the people in the intelligence system knew each other, and they probably knew who was doing what they did.
However, now, under Jiang Tai's integration, the intelligence system has slowly become mysterious, even the insiders.
The spies on the front line don't even know who their superiors are, and they don't even know what the general direction of the mission is, so they just wait for the mysterious personnel to send the message and assign small targets step by step.
The subordinate does not know the person who is superior, and the superior person, as long as it is not on the same line, is not clear about the personnel on the other branch lines.
Even, as if there were rumors, it was also the spies of Wu State, and the spies actually monitored each other to prevent treason, but the people who were monitoring didn't even know what to do with each other.
The whole intelligence system, constantly eating money.
At Jiang Tai's request, King Wu's funding for the intelligence system continued to increase, until now it was six times as much as before.
But Jiang Tai didn't want to pay a penny.
Some people speculate that Jiang Tai doesn't need to be lucky, just need to increase the funds of the intelligence system by five times.
However, no one was impeached, because, under Jiang Tai's collation, the news from the Chu State Alliance and the former Song State Alliance was transmitted to King Wu's book case in great detail.
"Cao Guo?" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"Yes, news has come from the two branch lines of Jiazi and Jiawu! We have arrived in a small town in Cao Kingdom!" a subordinate said respectfully.
"When you arrive in Cao Kingdom, it seems that you are going to kill people and rob money in Cao Kingdom?" Jiang Tai's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Seems to be!" the subordinate nodded.
"Notice, the four branches of Jiazi, Jiawu, Ding Mao, and Ding Chou are always paying attention to Wu Qi's whereabouts, and let the rich people in the surrounding cities where Wu Qi is located know that Wu Qi has arrived!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" the subordinate stepped back.
Another subordinate on the side said: "My lord, the armies of Wu and Chu have been fighting several times, because of the intelligence integration of my lord, my Wu State was pressed and beaten by Chu State in the past, but now I can be on a par!
"That's natural, Chu State and Wu State haven't attacked with all their strength yet, it's just a few forward collisions!" Jiang Tai nodded.
"Has Sun Wu come out of the mountain?" Jiang Tai asked.
"The soldier giant seems to have set off, and eight days later, he will arrive in Gusu!" the subordinate said respectfully.
"Eight days later?" Jiang Tai's face was slightly gloomy.
Sun Wu went out of the mountain, and the military giants were dispatched, and then the war gradually reached a climax.
"Is the king out of the customs?"
"Not yet, but at the place of the palace, the rolling luck poured in, and the king used the fortune of a country to strengthen his body, and when he swallowed the luck, the rolling breath was emanated, and the people around were terrified!"
"It seems that the king has made another big breakthrough!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"One more thing!"
"Oh?"
"Recently, it's strange, my Gusu has come with envoys from many countries, and a large number of countries from the Song Alliance have come with envoys, as if they are all willing to destroy the Chu State together with my Wu State!" the subordinate recalled.
"Extinguish?" Jiang Tai's expression moved.
"Yes, these countries, I don't know what kind of madness Lu Dao suddenly smoked, in the past, the Chu State was dealt with at most with 'blocking', but this time it seems to have suddenly become tough!" said the subordinate.
"What kind of countries are they?Jiang surname?Ji surname?" Jiang Tai looked at the subordinate.
"No, it's some miscellaneous surnames, not Jiang and Ji!" the subordinate said.
"Oh?" Kang Tai's eyes narrowed.
The king of Wu is the surname of Ji, and the king of Chu is the surname Xiong, but the surname of Mi is a branch of the surname Ji. To be precise, this time Wu called Banchu State, but it was an internal dispute between the countries surnamed Ji. At this moment, it is some small countries with surnames who come to take refuge?
"Send the information of various countries!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Soon, all the materials of the eight countries were sent to Jiang Tai. Jiang Tai carefully analyzed their ancestral hometowns, but their ancestral hometowns were all mixed-race people, not the eight surnames.
The history of these countries is extremely strange, Jiang Tai's careful research found that these eight countries have all faced the danger of annihilation, but at the most critical moment, the enemy boss died inexplicably.
"Could these eight countries be manipulated by some dark force?" Jiang Tai's face suddenly sank. A shock flashed through my heart.
Although this thought was only a flash, it reverberated in Jiang Tai's heart extremely strongly.
While Jiang Tai was thinking, Wu Zixu stepped into Jiang Tai's office. Followed by the prince's husband!
"Jiang Tai!" Wu Zixu said with a hearty smile.
"Lord Wu, you seem to be in a good mood today? Jiang Tai got up and said.
"Yes, everything has been going very smoothly recently, the eight countries have sent envoys, who are willing to advance and retreat with my Wu State, respect my Wu State as the leader of the alliance, Jin State, Qu Wu even helped me Wu State train troops, and commanded the army to advance westward again and again, causing great damage to the Chu State army!" Wu Zixu said with a smile.
"That's a good thing!" Jiang Tai smiled and nodded.
"Jiang Tai, you already know the way, right?" the prince sent a look at Jiang Taidao.
"Huh?" Jiang Tai frowned slightly, and then smiled: "Why did the prince say this?"
"I heard from Master Wu that he has offloaded all the work of the intelligence system and left it all to you to handle?" Fucha said in a deep voice.
Jiang Tai nodded.
Wu Zixu also nodded and said: "Yes, Jiang Tai's methods are really shocking, many of the integrated intelligence systems are not even understood by me, but this cumbersome and mysterious intelligence system is super efficient, and it actually got such accurate information, which made my Wu army's war more and more advantageous!"
"Lord Wu praised it falsely, you are just busy with affairs, so you can't be distracted, this little trick under the next is actually not able to escape Lord Wu's eyes!" Jiang Tai said with a smile.
Wu Zixu shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I have also studied, and even my father sorted out the intelligence system in Chu in the past, but I dare to guarantee that the whole world is not as strict as the intelligence system you have organized." It's so strict, there are spies arranged by you in the Chu army, oh, for you, you call them 'spies'!"
"It's just a little goss!" Jiang Tai said modestly.
The husband on the side was a little hot, looked at Jiang Tai, and finally said in a deep voice: "In the past, Lord Wu was in charge of the intelligence system, and my father and I were extremely relieved, but now Jiang Tai, you are in charge of the intelligence system, ......!"
"Oh?" Jiang Tai raised his eyebrows and looked at his husband with a frown.
"Prince, what do you want to say? Jiang Tai is doing better than me, and he has the same goal as us!" Wu Zixu frowned.
Fu Cha was silent for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't believe Jiang Tai, it's just that I think that my father needs to understand at least the intelligence system of my Wu Kingdom, and I have asked my father to tell me, I want to manage the intelligence system with Jiang Tai and share some heavy responsibilities for Jiang Tai!"
Wu Zixu looked at his husband in surprise: "Why didn't I know about Lu Dao before?"
"Huh?" Jiang Tai suddenly smiled coldly.
The intelligence system, which has not yet been taken seriously, is more powerful than thousands of troops once it is played properly.
This is just a little better, King Wu and Fucha are like picking fruits?
"Prince, I said earlier, if King Wu doesn't trust me, I don't want to do this intelligence work, I don't like to be criticized, if the prince really wants an intelligence system, I will give it to you, from now on, I don't care about the intelligence of Wu State!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Fucha's face sank.
"Jiang Tai, you can't ignore it, this complex intelligence network, only you can play it, the prince is just joining in the fun!" Wu Zixu immediately helped.
Jiang Tai shook his head and said: "If there is no trust, there is no need to trust, on the day of my reign, no one can interfere, if the prince really thinks that the intelligence system is easy, he can open a new intelligence agency!"
"You!"
"The king is here, it's the same! Also, I, Jiang Tai, am only cooperating with Wu Guo, not your real courtier of Wu Guo!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
The husband suddenly stood up angrily.
"Prince!" Wu Zixu suddenly shouted.
"Master Wu?" the husband looked at Wu Zixu with a frown.
"Go back, I'll be the master, the intelligence system, Jiang Tai is dictatorial, no one is allowed to interfere!
Fucha's eyelids jumped wildly, and finally he snorted coldly and threw his sleeves away.
Jiang Tai saw her husband leave, and then looked at Wu Zixu again.
"Thank you, Lord Wu!" Jiang Tai smiled.
Wu Zixu looked at Jiang Tai for a while, and finally said with a wry smile: "I believe in you, but, I also hope that you don't target Wu Guo!"
"No, if you pacify the Chu State, I will leave!" Jiang Tai said.
"What about this intelligence system?"
"I will leave one batch for Wu Guo, and I will take the other batch away, which will be counted as the final reward I get for helping Wu Guo!" Jiang Tai said affirmatively.
Wu Zixu stared at Jiang Tai for a while, and finally nodded: "Indeed, under your intelligence system, many people don't even know who Lu Dao is, and it is extremely easy to take them away!"
"Wu Guo just gave me a platform, if I go to Song Kingdom, I can also have such a platform!" Jiang Tai said.
Wu Zixu raised his eyelids and finally nodded.
"Also, you can tell the king that I am in charge of the territory of the Song Kingdom, and I will not come out to compete with the Wu State for the position of the leader of the Chu Alliance!" Jiang Tai said with certainty.
"Can you guarantee that Song Guo won't come out?" Wu Zixu said in surprise.
Song State is the alliance leader of the surrounding countries in the past, even if it is not now, but the background is still there, many countries still have their hearts towards Song State, if Song State is out of the competition for the position of the leader of the Chu Alliance, it will definitely bring a huge blow to the prestige of Wu State.
"Yes!" Jiang Tai nodded affirmatively.
