Sujiazhuang was not far from Chentangguan. Deng Chanyu asked Daji to rest first while he went to visit his cheap brother Deng Xiu on the way.
After the brother and sister met, Deng Xiu asked in a low voice: "Amei, what will our Deng family choose next?"
Xiqi and the Deng family have been making deals secretly. The fertile fields in Guanzhong are thousands of miles away, and there are mountains of grain. In the south, there are all kinds of ores, animal skins, and timber. One has grain and the other has mines. Both parties to the transaction feel very happy. Now Dashang and Xiqi have changed. When the relationship became hostile, Deng Xiu felt a little at a loss.
Deng Chanyu tapped her eldest brother with her finger: "With all the people in the south of the Yangtze River, we will decide between the two formations and compete with the world. My brother is not as good as me."
Deng Xiuqi nodded naturally: "Elevate talents and do their best to protect Jiangnan. I am not as good as A-mei. You have said it many times. No need to repeat it. Let's talk about the current matter. If Chaoge is under Order, are we going to Xiqi?"
After leaving Deng Jiugong's wing, Deng Xiu has made some progress recently. He often humbly asks Li Jing for advice on the art of war, strategy, and experience in governing local areas.
Li Jing was very open-minded in this regard and told everything he knew. Deng Xiu recorded the conversation between the two. If he couldn't figure it out for a while, he went back to his residence to figure it out. After more than half a year, he compiled a famous book. The book is called "Li Gong Wen Dui". Recently, he has really gained a lot of knowledge and is no longer the naive person he was when he was just starting out.
Deng Chanyu: "...In my opinion, we can just wait and see quietly. Xiqi occupies the four fortresses, the people are rich and the country is strong, there are virtuous kings, famous ministers, and hundreds of thousands of armored men. Bei Bo Hou and Jizhou Hou were defeated before, and now Bei Bohou is the only one left to conquer. Hehe, he will definitely be defeated. Seeing that winter is coming, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise a large army to conquer this year. The rest will be discussed next year. "
She beat Yuan Futong to fulfill Nuwa's order, King Zhou? King Zhou is a great treasure!
When the time comes, if the Deng family really wants to go to the front line, then they can bribe Fei Zhong and steal the job of a grain inspector, and that's it.
No matter who you are, go to the front line and fight. Once you are defeated, our Deng family will run away.
As for investing in Xiqi by "investing capital into shares" now, she had never thought about it. It was either for some great reason or it was too early.
The Deng family has an army of 300,000 men and governs one county, six states, and seventy-nine counties. Not counting the barbarians, there are over ten million registered households in the jurisdiction. They have recaptured more than a hundred of the two hundred princes in the south. Together with Sanshan Pass, which occupies one of the most powerful passes in the world, their strength is no worse than Xiqi.
Jiang Ziya went to Xiqi alone, and was able to seal the Qi Kingdom in the end. With such a huge power, the Deng family surrendered to Xiqi when it was at its lowest. How should the Zhou Dynasty reward them after they unified the world? Poisoning or assassination? Too much credit would be troublesome.
"Deng Xiu", who captured Yuan Futong alive on the battlefield, had long been in King Zhou's sight. However, with the help of Fei Zhong, the Deng family had been resting in the rear on the grounds of excessive casualties. But Fei Zhong is not omnipotent. If Chonghouhu is defeated repeatedly and reminds King Zhou of the Deng family, Deng Xiu's eight thousand soldiers and the entire Deng family will be the cannon fodder troops that will follow.
"Brother, be careful. If nothing can be done, return to Nanjun immediately."
"I know."
Deng Xiu was left to continue studying the art of war with Li Jing. Deng Chanyu hired a carriage and set off with Daji, Ping'er, and Biaozi, preparing to go to Chaoge first. She also had the task of getting to know Jiang Ziya.
...
When Deng Chanyu and Daji were about to enter Chaoge City, the Jinghe Dragon King on a crutch arrived at the south gate of Chaoge City first.
Without the will of Heaven, the Dragon Clan, especially the Dragon Kings with the position of Director of Rain, are not allowed to approach human cities.
You can rain only if Heaven allows you to rain. If Heaven doesn’t let you rain, you must not rain!
The rules are very strict, and the Dragon King of Jinghe took great risks this time to come and offer the treasure.
Transform into a dragon and come to Chaoge? God Haotian will immediately send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture him and go to the Dragon-Slaying Platform.
Just after crossing the Yellow River, still eight hundred miles away from Chaoge City, he lowered his clouds, transformed into a human form, and moved slowly towards Chaoge on crutches.
There were many bandits and horse thieves on the road. After trudging for several months, they finally arrived at Chaoge City.
He asked a few passers-by and found out that he could not see King Zhou directly. For such matters, he usually had to ask Fei Zhong, the remonstrating doctor. After Fei Zhong agreed, he would take the treasure presenter to see King Zhou.
Fei Zhong was extremely corrupt, but he was very strict in running his family. Anyone who dared to be greedy for money would be beaten to death.
The Dragon King of Jinghe was very lucky today. When the steward of Fei Mansion heard that he wanted to offer a treasure, he immediately took him to see Fei Zhong.
"You...want to present the treasure?" Although Fei Zhong thought the Dragon King of Jinghe was slovenly, he did not look down upon it. When the jade appeared on the scene, his eyes were completely attracted by the jade. This kind of snatching Even if he didn't have any cultivation, he could still detect the extraordinary things in the creation of heaven and earth.
"Exactly." It was impossible for the proud Dragon King of Jinghe to call himself "I'm here" or "a commoner". He couldn't say "this king", so he could only be vague about the title.
Fei Zhong was a little unhappy. You, a homeless man missing a leg, had this attitude when you saw this doctor? If the treasure offering succeeds and is appreciated by King Zhou, won't you be able to ride on my head?
He stroked his goatee and asked nonchalantly: "Besides this jade, do you have anyone else to offer?"
personnel? Is that a piece of shit? The Dragon King of Jinghe didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.
He was getting a little impatient: "Sir, this jade jade gathers the essence of the world's earth. It was specially presented to the great merchant by someone who traveled thousands of miles."
Fei Zhongpi nodded with a smile.
Nowadays, when the Deng family and Chong Houhu give gifts, they are half King Zhou and half Dr. Fei. He does not expect to have the same level of "personnel" as this jade, but you have no "expression" at all? This is completely disrespectful to Mr. Fei!
"That means there are no more personnel? Okay, I understand. Now let me go to see His Majesty."
The Dragon King of Jinghe thought that he was just a tool man and didn't care about Fei Zhong's attitude at all. He followed him to King Zhou's palace, Shouxian Palace on a crutch.
It didn't take long before he was summoned by King Zhou.
"You said you wanted to offer a treasure, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is?" King Zhou asked.
The Dragon King of Jinghe looked at the dragon bed under King Zhou. He glanced at the dragon chair, coral tree, and other decorations that looked familiar...
The Dragon King of Jinghe was extremely angry. It turns out it was not the saint who stole my property, but you!
Now that he was in such a miserable state, he didn't dare to speak out, let alone scold him, so he could only endure it.
He forced a smile and said: "There is a piece of peerless jade that is made from the essence of heaven and earth. It can protect the human race for tens of thousands of years. I would like to offer it to Dashang now."
"Oh? So magical? Hurry and present it." King Zhou was very happy and asked him to take out the jade.
The Jinghe Dragon King looked back at Fei Zhong. When he entered the palace, he handed the jade bi and his sword to the warriors in front of the palace.
As soon as Fei Zhong waved his hand, the jade that the warrior presented to King Zhou on a tray "magically" turned into a dark stone.
Jinghe Dragon King: "???"
Where is my jade? How did it become like this? What kind of spell is this? !
