"Lin San, you have made some progress over the years."
Lin Chunqiu slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of light suddenly burst out from his cloudy eyeballs, as sharp as an eagle.
Such a look made Lin San's blood surge. He immediately lowered his head and said with a bit of fear:
"These are all good lessons taught by the head of the family."
"That's all, just do as you say. Isn't there an army over there at Luo'er? You can take some people out of it and do it boldly."
"As for the one in the palace...he doesn't have much time."
"The reinforcements from Houjin are on their way now. Counting the days, they will almost arrive at Wucheng. As long as they can successfully pass through Wucheng, the palace will be destroyed within seven days!"
…
Youzhou, Wucheng,
Wu Jing listened to the report from his subordinates, and a look of surprise flashed in his cold eyes.
It turned out that a large army of the Later Jin Dynasty was located thirty miles northwest of Wucheng.
But this army of 100,000 people did not take the initiative to attack Wucheng at this moment. Instead, it sent a messenger.
The messenger was an orthodox Houjin man, with a ruthlessness unique to the prairie people in his green eyes.
He cupped his hands towards Wu Jing in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and said with a condescending look on his face:
"Lord of Wucheng, we plan to use the capital city, and we have no plans to attack your Wucheng."
"Therefore, please let your troops get out of the way and let me, the Houjin Iron Cavalry, march south."
Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, it was naturally impossible for Wu Jing not to be angry.
But as the lord of Wucheng, she has to be responsible for the people of the city.
If it weren't for Yang Dong, she might choose to negotiate the conditions with the other party and then let him go.
After all, with the current situation of Dazhou, it is no longer possible to protect itself, and there is no time to take care of Youzhou.
But since that young man came to Wucheng, Wu Jing's thoughts changed.
The boy's description of the future was so beautiful that she would fantasize about it from time to time.
What made her most desperate was that the future described by this young man was progressing steadily.
Wucheng and the capital are separated by countless mountains. Originally, these mountains were gathering places for bandits and bandits nearby. But now!
In these past days, the shuddering and shuddering bandits actually talked and laughed with the people, carrying hoes and shovels together to build a road between the two cities.
If it hadn't been for seeing it with her own eyes, Wu Jing would never have believed in her dreams that such a scene would appear before her eyes.
But unfortunately, such a scene is so harmonious...
At this moment, the figure of the young man could not help but appear in front of her eyes.
Could it be that he is a god?
Why did what he did seem so ordinary, but yet so appalling?
Today's Wucheng has begun to take shape as a giant city.
A large number of merchants from different state capitals came from thousands of miles away to gather in Wucheng.
They made purchases here and brought tea goods from the interior.
Wucheng's tax revenue is increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Wu Jing saw all this.
She knew very well that the reason why these merchants came to Wucheng was because of the guidance of one person.
And this person even built the entire Luozhou into a high-speed official road.
I heard from the merchants who came over there that they had already started the second phase of official road construction, and had even started designing the plan for the third phase of official road construction.
It seems that some gentleman from Lanxiang Academy was asked to help...
This Lanxiang Academy seems to be very famous recently...
Wu Jing shook her head slightly and cleared away the messy thoughts in her mind.
She looked at the Houjin messenger in front of her, only to realize that he looked so ridiculous.
However, Hou Jin's messenger seemed to be unaware of it and still maintained a condescending attitude.
"Why, the Lord of Wucheng has concerns?"
"Our general said that as long as you are willing to take the right direction, you will still be the lord of Wucheng in the future. As long as you surrender to our lord Houjin."
"How about it, our general has shown all his sincerity, why don't you let him go quickly?"
"Let go?"
Wu Jing smiled coldly, and suddenly her face turned extremely cold.
She looked at the messenger in front of her, her tone cold and biting.
"The two armies are fighting. Don't kill the envoy. Go back and tell your generals that if you want to get over it from now on, take Wucheng first."
"But...it's just a hundred thousand people. It's probably not that easy to attack the city."
"What did you say? How dare you refuse me!?"
Messenger Houjin's face darkened, and his whole person suddenly became extremely angry. He stared with an extremely fierce light in his eyes.
However, the sound of weapons being unsheathed at the next moment brought him back to his senses.
I saw dozens of city lord guards pulling out their swords at the same time. The direction pointed by the tip of the sword was exactly this Houjin messenger.
At this moment, even though Hou Jin's messenger was used to being fierce, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
What should I do? Could this Lord of Wucheng kill him out of anger?
But along the way, every city lord he faced had the same attitude. Why is this Wucheng different?
Could it be because Wucheng has always had a grudge against Houjin?
But...could the Lord of Wucheng not see the situation clearly?
After the Jin army was at its peak, the Great Zhou Dynasty was just declining.
Why should she work for a royal family that is about to decline?
Messenger Houjin couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why Wu Jing had such a big reaction.
But he understands one thing, that is, his trip today may be in vain.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly and said:
"City Lord Wu, why are you doing this?"
"How could you not know what's going on with you, Da Zhou?"
"It doesn't matter if you stop our general, in the end Dazhou will still be our Houjin's."
"But if that day really comes, won't the City Lord consider his own retreat?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Jing ignored him at all.
She glanced at the other party coldly and said in a bad tone:
"My city lord feels that Dazhou is now emerging from its cocoon and becoming a butterfly, and is prospering."
"But you Houjin should be careful."
But when the messenger Houjin heard this, he seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, Lord Wu City, this is the funniest joke I have heard in recent days!"
"Do you know why our general led a lone army south?"
"To be honest, your chief minister of Great Zhou has taken the lead in the rebellion! Now the entire capital has fallen into his hands."
"And your chief assistant, Lin Chunqiu, knows much better than you. He chose to take the initiative to move closer to our Houjin and become a member of the Houjin."
"Of course, our Lord of the Later Jin Dynasty is extremely generous. He is willing to make Lin Chunqiu the city lord of the capital."
