Chapter 142

  After Zi Gong left, Ji Meng set out to seek opportunities in various countries. Unexpectedly, he hit a wall on his first trip to Chu State. The King of Chu, for some reason, had a strong dislike for the Legalists and almost had him beheaded before even meeting him, after only announcing his identity.

  The princess thought that it must be those powerful officials who were offended by Wu Qi's reforms at the beginning and were sabotaging from within.

  This matter cannot be blamed on them for being too extreme. At the beginning, Wu Qi's reform was more ruthless than Shang Yang's in dealing with a group of powerful nobles.

  Until the death of King Zhuang of Chu, the Chu clans united to counterattack and shot him dead in front of the coffin of King Zhuang. Wu Qi was also a ruthless character, facing the rain of arrows, he knew he couldn't escape this disaster, so he gave up running away, directly lying on top of King Zhuang's body, and inserted an arrow into King Zhuang's corpse without leaving any marks, shouting loudly: "The clans are rebelling against the monarch, damaging the former king's body! The nine clans should be executed!"

  It was this arrow and this roar that directly led to the collective destruction of these tribes participating in the rebellion. A batch of people who survived by chance, after several generations of hidden name changes, with the current King of Chu being muddle-headed, gradually returned to the political stage of Chu. Can Ben Hou's revenge be different from the law?

  The princess deeply knew these, only he didn't think that after some years, these people in Chu State had again stood firm on their feet and acted so quickly that they almost got him, otherwise his life would have been gone!

  Leading to see Ji sleeping with her eyes closed, thinking that he was bleeding too much and his brain was not clear, so she didn't disturb him anymore.

  "These goods are sold in Pakistan and we can finally take a break for a year or two, go home and have a few more kids with our wives! Haha!"

  The princess leaned against the tree trunk and quietly listened to the men in the cavalry team beside her talking.

  "I heard that the relationship between Ba and Shu is tense, maybe they will fight this time" Another sighed

  The man with the loud and clear laughter just now lowered his voice a few degrees, still with a smile, "We're not in much danger, it's just that once this starts, we'll have trouble getting in and out. When we get back home, as long as our wives don't give birth to someone else's kids, that's good enough!"

  The State of Ba was famous for its bronze ware and brave warriors. Their bronze wares were exquisitely made, and the culture of Ba reached a peak during the Spring and Autumn period, relatively mature and perfect.

  Ji Mian's mind stirred, he had always focused on the six nations of Shandong and Qin in previous years, never considering a country like Ba-Shu. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed possible to try reforming the laws in Ba?

  He is now unwilling to go find Song Chuyi even in his most helpless state

  I heard that the two countries of Ba and Shu are going to fight, so it's not suitable for me to change my plans now. I'll take a nap and think carefully before deciding what to do next. First, I'll go to Ba country to see the situation, if it's suitable, I can take this opportunity to get familiar with the customs and culture of Ba country, which will be beneficial for my future plans. If not, I'll wait until the war is over and then leave Ba country to seek opportunities in the six countries of Shandong.

  The sunset's afterglow filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled lights on Ji Meng's disheveled body, not beautiful but warm and serene.

  Xianyang

  Song Chu initially and Jian ate laboriously, hugging a large stack of bamboo slips as they walked into their own courtyard. The bamboo slips were stacked too high, so she could only carefully prevent them from falling while paying attention to the road under her feet, without having any spare time to look elsewhere.

  She had just stepped one foot into the door when a pair of hands took over the bamboo stick.

  "Big brother......" The one who could make such a move, Song Chu thought it was Zhang Li, but when he raised his head, he met a familiar face that brought disaster to the country and its people! His mouth grew wider in surprise.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a certain place in his heart suddenly felt a sour and swollen feeling. For a moment, he even forgot to speak and forgot to be happy.

  Zhao Yi Lou frowned, "Originally ugly, this time even uglier!"

  As soon as the words fell, a white blade shot out from the courtyard like a silver arrow and suddenly knocked Song Chu to the ground.

  Dizzy for a few breaths, Song Chu suddenly roared, "You little beast! Are you trying to murder the master?"

  Bai Ling wiped her mouth with a towel, Song Chuyi's face was wet and shiny. She pulled his ear to move his passionate wolf-like face away, took out a handkerchief and disdainfully wiped her face clean.

  "How did you get back so early?" Song Chu got up, dusting off the dirt on his body, and smiled slyly, "Won't be expelled from the sect, will I?"

  "You've just been expelled from the sect! Can't you even wish me well?" Zhao Yilou said with a bad tone.

  He slowly said, "Master said he wants to go back to the Mo Family General House for a trip, and will return about a month later. He only entrusted me to practice my sword well."

  Two people walked side by side from the corridor into the house and entered the study room.

  Because of the important documents placed inside this house, no one is allowed to light a lamp when there's no one around. At this moment, it's already pitch black outside, and you can't see your fingers in front of you inside the house.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, a person was muttering to himself about flint and steel, not knowing where to put them. He stretched out his hand on the small table and felt around for half a day before remembering to call over a maid to light the lamp.

  She straightened up, just about to shout, when suddenly a loud whooshing sound came from behind her, followed by the clash of swords.

  After entering the room, Song Chuyi's eyes adapted for a while and could vaguely see the situation in the house. With the faint light, Song Chuyi saw two people fighting, one was Zhao Yilou, and the other was Qiu Lixi.

  "Halt! Halt! One of us!" Song Chuyi hastily shouted

  They retreated slightly after exchanging blows on the other side, but both of them seemed to have met a worthy opponent, their fighting spirit was strong, and they didn't show any intention of giving up.

  At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Ah Yi was busy shouting at the servant girl while fiddling with the fire starter. When he turned his head back, he found that the two men behind him were still fighting, and suddenly became furious: "This is a sacred place for books! Get out of here and fight!"

  This roar echoed through the silent Xiangyang City

  The effect was immediate, and Qiu Li Ju and Zhao Yi Lou stopped their hands. The maid trembled with fear as she came in to light the lamp.

  The faint yellow light slowly illuminated every corner of the house, and Qiu Li and Zhao Yi Lou also saw each other's appearance, as well as Song Chu Yi's expressionless face.

  "Big brother, you're leaning against the building and throwing shoes at me, aren't you getting a bit old for this?" Song Chuyi really thought that Qiu Lian Duanbai was blind to have such a steady appearance but actually do something so childish.

  Qiu Li glanced at Zhao Yilou's strong and robust body and really didn't know where he was weak.

  "Cough! Big brother has come over like this, is there something urgent?" Song Chu said, turning back to take the bamboo slip from Zhao Yi's hand.

  "It's nothing, just wait for your brother for a bit" Chu Li hastily said with a smile

  Two breaths of silence

  "Zhao Yilou, you little scoundrel!" Song Chu looked at the scattered books on the ground and again bellowed like a storm sweeping across Xianyang, "Good heavens! These are extremely important documents, and it was no easy task to get them out. If anything happens to them, should I be the one to apologize with my death or should you be the ones to apologize with your deaths?"

  Zhao Yi Lou glanced over and said, "This thing won't go bad either." (Please vote with a monthly ticket recommendation)
