Not to mention anything else - even if he could invite Xiong Wuliang's Pingnan sword to his house as a guest, it would be a huge honor.
In the past, that sword symbolized the arrival of the King of Chu!
Xiong Wuliang had a Pingnan sword hanging on his waist, and he came in a bronze chariot in a swaggering manner. Every minister would have to show off his face and say a few nice words in a low voice.
Everyone knows that our King of Chu is not too young anymore. After King Chu dies and Prince Mi Heng ascends the throne, Quyang Hou Xiong Wuliang will surely dominate the Chu Kingdom.
Let's make a very disrespectful imagination - the King of Chu is almost fifty years old, so he is planning to live for another twenty years.
In other words, in at most twenty years, Xiong Wuliang will become the most terrifying minister in the history of Chu State! The important minister who holds the Pingnan Sword!
Besides...ahem, looking at King Chu Huai's body fat percentage...it's probably enough to live another twenty years...
Think about it twenty years later, how old will Xiong Wuliang be? Not even forty yet!
At least he can control the government for decades!
Oh my God!
With such a promising potential stock, which minister wouldn’t want to build connections? Even if he doesn't live until that time, as long as Xiong Wuliang takes care of the family's younger generations, it will be a huge gain!
I don’t care about my skin anymore.
Just one sentence - maintain a good relationship with Xiong Wuliang at all costs!
The whole city of Ying was full of people drinking wine, and Xiong Wuliang lingered at the ministers' mansions every day... His mouth was full of food, and he received hundreds of large carts with generous gifts.
This is really a huge sum of money!
"Marquis Quyang is young and has great achievements, I am ashamed to say that I can't live up to him!"
"Qu Yanghou is our God of War in Great Chu! Counting down the princes, they have been on the battlefield for only a few years, and their results are astonishing! They are truly talented people given by heaven!"
"It is really an honor for me to have you as a guest in my house... This is my only daughter... Please pour some wine for Marquis Quyang!"
"I am willing to follow the lord's banner and serve the lord in the future!"
…
King Huai of Chu was still immersed in the joy of domination and could not extricate himself. He ordered that the taxes for the whole year be reduced by half... As soon as this order came out, the whole country rejoiced.
The entire city of Yingdu was plunged into a sea of joy.
The ministers who originally belonged to the Zhaoju party had close contacts with the popular Marquis Quyang; the people on the streets and in the countryside admired Marquis Quyang's illustrious military exploits, and were grateful for the reduced taxes...
Only the old Ling Yin Zhaoju seemed to have admitted his failure and remained huddled in the mansion, claiming to be ill.
People from the Zhao clan rarely appear in the public eye.
Even the news about Zhaokong, one of the "three evils", disappeared from the ears of the people of Yingdu - all the troubles caused in Zhaofu after Zhaokong went crazy are usually talked about by the whole city. Jokes for fun.
In short, Zhaoju is hiding himself and fading out of people's sight... allowing Xiong Wuliang to encroach and absorb the political power that once belonged to Zhaoju.
I don’t know whether this old fox has accepted his fate or is harboring some evil idea...
…
The spring breeze is proud of the horse's hoof disease.
At the beginning of April, Xiong Wuliang led his troops and left Yingdu. In the past, Xiong Wuliang was yelled and beaten by the princes and nobles of Yingdu, so no one saw him off every time he left Yingdu... This time he left Yingdu. The process was unprecedentedly lively.
With tears in their eyes, dozens of ministers held Xiong Wuliang's hand affectionately and sent him ten miles away from Yingdu.
In the pavilion, I drank a few Chu wines sent by the princes to see him off, and reluctantly broke willows and gave them to each other to express his reluctance to leave Xiong Wuliang in Yingdu.
"Marquis Quyang, we say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again..." A minister said affectionately while wiping his tears.
"Be sure to take care on your way to the throne!"
"Whenever I come to Yingdu again, I must come to Lao Xuan's house as a guest... My daughter misses the majesty of the king every day in the house."
Xiong Wuliang was not disappointed, he happily said goodbye to the ministers one by one, and then embarked on the road back to the fiefdom.
The flag of Quyanghou with a corner missing is fluttering, and the elite soldiers and warriors have bright armor... The old farmers from Chu State whom they meet on the road must bow to Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot with full respect -
"Long live Marquis Quyang!"
"Long live Da Sima!"
Precisely because of Qu Yanghou's revenge victory, the taxes that all Chu people have to bear this year have been greatly reduced... Of course this kindness must be recorded on Xiong Wuliang!
…
Quyang County, Quyanghou Mansion.
The house was decorated with lights and decorations, and the servants quickly polished every crevice - everyone's faces were filled with dazzling brilliance.
This victory for my master is also of great significance to the Hou Mansion!
Not only the glory of victory, but also the joy of revenge!
Back then, the old Junhou died in the battle at the hands of Sima Cuo and Chuiliji. Now when the young Junhou flew to seize Wuguan, he killed Sima Cuo's son Sima An; and the old thief Chuiliji was burned to death in a fire... It can be regarded as the reincarnation of heaven and a serious revenge!
During the Warring States Period, people enjoyed grudges and grudges - now the young prince avenges the old prince. There is no greater joy than this!
While some old servants were working, they thought about the good things of their old master... and couldn't help but sigh.
Siyi has been restless these days, looking back and forth in the bronze mirror every day. Wearing a splendid green dress, she dressed herself up beautifully.
She was originally a delicate and beautiful woman, but now she looks even more gorgeous when she puts on an exquisite green dress and wears pearls on her head - solemn yet lively, gorgeous yet elegant, making all the servants in the house look... You have to walk with your head down.
Everyone knows that the little lady is waiting for the master to come back!
"Xiong Wuliang is coming back." Ying Zhuo said to Xiaoyi, his tone was very complicated - not like a question, not like an exclamation, and not like a statement.
Xiaoyi smiled and nodded, with a trace of rosiness on her beautiful face, and then stared at Yingzhuo with some ambiguity, making the latter feel uncomfortable.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?" Ying Zhuo couldn't hold himself any longer.
Si Yi covered her mouth and smiled, looking very happy - ever since Ying Zhuo saved Xiong Wuliang from the Black Ice Platform assassin's sword once, his status has improved, and he is no longer a 'maid's maid's maid'... Of course, Si Yi Yi had never treated Ying Zhuo as a maid, she had always treated her like a sister.
Just because of Ying Zhuo's status as the princess of Qin, no one dares to underestimate her.
Of course, Ying Zhuo's heart is also very complicated now...
From the most laid-back Siyi to the busiest servant, everyone has a bright smile on their face, eagerly waiting for the victorious master to return home.
Ying Zhuo seemed out of place in this house.
To say that Xiong Wuliang did not die under the sword of the Qin people did make Ying Zhuo relieved... but the Qin State was beaten by this young boy to bow his head and sue for peace, which made Ying Zhuo unwilling to accept it.
The arrogance of the old Qin people was mixed with other emotions, and Ying Zhuo felt really complicated.
Mixed flavors!
"The master is back! The master is back!" Suddenly, shouts and shouts came from outside the house!
Siyi stood up immediately, her face turned red instantly!
For some reason, a blush appeared on Ying Zhuo's face... Ying Zhuo bit his silver teeth and suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in his heart... What's wrong with me?
"Go back to the two ladies - it's really the master who is back!" Xiaobai ran over to the door, beaming with joy.
Siyi was overjoyed!
Ying Zhuo had no time to pay attention to the nonsense in Xiaobai's mouth, and asked with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance: "Since Mi Liang is back, why haven't you entered the house for so long?"
A strange expression appeared on Xiao Bai's face——
