Just when King Yelang was attacking the Qielan Kingdom, Jingmen, which was separated from Feng Yun by mountains—

"Be careful. According to the king's order, these ten thousand gold atonements will go first, and then the soldiers, armor, and farming tools will be sent out."

After retaking Jingmen, Cheng Ziyu was responsible for guarding it.

Zhaoyang and Chu Jun went to Yidao to resist the menacing Bayong coalition army that refused to retreat at all.

Beside Cheng Ziyu is Qu Yuan.

Now he is responsible for all logistical matters in Jingchu, leaving Prime Minister Sun Shuao to do his best to control the floods.

Qu Yuan looked at the armored soldiers marching out in large numbers, with a sad look in his eyes, and pursed his lips and said: "The food to support Bao's people will not be prepared until the Chu envoys sort out the number of Bao's people in Bao's country."

Watching the chariots and horses leave at night, Jingmen once again guarded tightly, not giving the princes' troops a chance.

Qu Yuan burst into tears.

"You are all good sons of Chu..."



At this time, the teachers of the princes——

"What, the Chu army left Jingmen to transport the atonement to Baoguo?"

Ten thousand gold.

Which prince is not moved?

Especially Zeng Guo's current Zeng Houbing.

The important ceremonial and musical vessels of the Zeng Kingdom have already been engraved with their marks. With the burial of the previous monarch Zeng Hou Yi, this represents the replacement of the old with the new. As the new Zeng Hou, he also needs to cast his own vessels.

To rectify the state of Zeng, it belongs to the rites and music of Zeng Hou Bing!

It is not said to be higher than Zeng Houyi's Chime Bell, but it cannot be weaker than its weight.

Wanjin…



The next day, thousands of gold carriages and horses transported from Andi to Baoguo were robbed.

Because it was dark, I didn't know the name of the enemy.

It seemed that there was a tacit understanding. The armies of the princes stationed in Andi were all strictly ordered to discuss the matter. The thousands of gold chariots and horses just disappeared out of thin air without any news.

But the troops of the princes in An were silent, and the people of Chu in Chu were furious after hearing that the ten thousand gold had disappeared in An.

That was the chance of atonement that Chu State had finally obtained.

To be intercepted by these allied forces of princes who are claiming to be benevolent and righteous, and still use such methods, it is simply intolerable!

It was also this battle that allowed the Chu people to see clearly the faces of the armies of the princes.

When fighting, there is no guilt over morality.

On the contrary, he kept fighting angrily because of it.

The Chu people's desire to resist the princes was aroused and would not stop.

Chu Jun issued the order in time.

"Drive out the teachers of the princes, and then try your best to atone for your sins and seek virtue!"

Atoning for sins and seeking virtue.

This is the strategy Feng Yun left to the Chu king. It can completely stabilize the people's hearts, turn their compassion into anger, and fight generously to break the momentum of the army and deter the coalition forces of the princes.

Sure enough, after seeing the Chu people's unity and fierce resistance, the coalition of princes became timid.

The battle situation in Jingmen ended in a stalemate because of the loss of ten thousand gold, and they were declared exempt from fighting...

As for the emperor outside the army of princes——

"Wanjin, just make those losers dare not move!"

"And let the Chu people occupy the great righteousness!"

The emperor was furious.

"They are all people who look down upon!"

But after getting angry, he leaned on the mat and leaned on the beauties on his left and right, and the emperor smiled again.

"That's all, we can't attack Chu for a while. In this personal expedition, I will definitely wipe out all the Chu people and flood the Chu land to eliminate the shame of the Han River and threaten all directions!"

"Hahaha…"



"Rumble..."

Junguo!

Junguo personally received the emperor's envoy. At this time, he was trembling with fear, looking at the tens of thousands of armored soldiers who continued to fill the gaps in the mountains and rivers.

These armored soldiers built dams to block the Dan River and Han River to form lakes.

And its purpose is to wait until the time is right to burst the embankment and flood the Chu land.

As for such a big move, has it been leaked or not?

When the emperor was performing sacrifices in the state of Lu, he used the natal weapon left by the Taigong to coordinate with the huge fortune of the Zhou Dynasty to disrupt the heavenly secrets and cover up the actions here.

How can any country or person see through such a huge power?

Even I, who is close to the saint, cannot see through it!

"Envoy, I wonder when I, Junguo, can help you here?"

Junguo is now under this dike. If the dike breaks, it will be destroyed in an instant.

But without the emperor's order, how could his country dare to move?

Hearing this, the emperor's envoy looked at the swampy land where a lot of water had been stored. He looked at the swampy land with no compassion, only snobbishness: "The rivers and lakes dried up in the first half of this year. At this time, there were heavy rains, but it was not enough to completely overthrow Chu." Earth, your country still needs to wait."

"Ah...this." Lord Jun was worried.

This dam was built rudely. It was not built according to the long-lasting dam at all. It was just for temporary use. He was shocked to see it.

"Hmph, Yi Junguo is fine."

"You are cultivating in a mediocre place for the time being. When this strategy is successful, the emperor will naturally reward you. When the time comes, your promotion will be just a word."

Promotion...

Lord Jun smiled innocently, his eyes full of expectation.



"Huh!" The hot summer air blew into Baoguo.

When Bao Gu heard about the ten thousand yuan compensation given to him, An Di disappeared quietly.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Send the tripod out, watch the changes while all parties compete, and gain what you lack..."

This was Feng Yun's original strategy of learning from each other's strengths.

Nowadays, Chu people lack the unity of the people and the feeling of war.

For Chu State, a mere ten thousand gold can make up for the shortcomings.

It's really amazing.

"Profit...a pack of jackals."

"They are all using my father's death to seek benefits for themselves!"

"Only Fengzi remembers that by making amends to the victims, my father will be able to live in peace even if he dies."

There were tears of praise, but I heard——

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from Mrs. Baosi."

"Sister?" Bao Gu was slightly stunned. After Bao Si married into the Zhou Dynasty, she no longer had any contact with Bao Guo.

One is to avoid alerting anyone.

The second was Bao Si's helplessness. She was unwilling to be the emperor's wife, and the family letter was just a reminder of her humiliating choice.

However, Bao Si was born prematurely and has been nursed back to health.

"Indeed, we should also look at my sister's attitude."

"After my father's death, my sister's contribution to the stability of the Bao Kingdom is understandable."

Soon, the letter fell into the hands of You Baogu——

"Brother promised to atone for Chu's sins and benefit the country. This is the right thing to do. If father knows, he will be able to trust you..."

There are tear marks on the silk book, which shows Bao Si's pain.

There are ink dots on the silk book, which are vaguely visible to cover up the word wind.

Then he continued to write: "It is rumored in the outside world that Tianwai was ignorant of state affairs because of his beauty, and sent troops to attack Chu for the sake of beauty. Rumors about his deeds indicate that the emperor is brave and cannot be reversed by anyone."

This is implicitly saying that the emperor is not what he seems on the surface. He has his own decisions in his heart. You should be careful about any actions of the emperor. The emperor will not change anything because of her.

Then he said.

"Shen Hou's daughter was pregnant earlier than me, but because I gave birth prematurely, she was entered into the clan's roster first and was named Ji Bofu."

"As my elder brother, it is reasonable for the queen to have resentment towards me at this time. I also hope that my brother will send some treasures to the palace and give them to the queen to ease her mood."

"So, on behalf of my son, I would like to pay my respects to his uncle for now..."

The queen also gave birth to a son.

But because of Bao Si's premature birth, she lost her eldest son Bo Ming.

It's natural to be angry at this time.

But fortunately, Bao Si's son is a concubine, and the queen is a legitimate daughter, so she can be stable.

Giving a gift at this time seems to be for the queen, but it is to tell you that there is praise.

After receiving such great benefits from Chu State, it is natural to share part of the profits.

The object of his distribution was naturally the emperor, who was equal to the queen.

As long as the etiquette is there and Bao Si and his son are there, the emperor will not punish Bao Si.



After reading the letter.

There is praise in the valley.

But how to divide the profit is the problem.

"Wait a minute, I am the uncle of the prince, and it is only natural to give gifts to my nephew. This is to put the emperor's mood at ease."

Not long after, Baoguo spoke up.

But not for the ten thousand gold for An Di.

Instead, he wanted to congratulate the emperor on the good health of the two princes, so he prepared generous gifts respectively and entered the palace of the queen and Mrs. Bao.

In addition, as an uncle, Baogu gave Baogu to his nephew, Ji Bofu, a piece of land that was close to Zhou. It was said that as long as the owner was benevolent, he could produce tens of thousands of stones per year.
