Gou Jian patted the hilt of the light sword, and saw a small sword flipping over in the sword array above, showing a flickering change under the reflection of the surrounding lights.
He did not have a high degree of trust in Doctor Fan Li's teacher Ji Ran. Fan Li was from Chu and Ji Ran was from Song. Neither of them were natives of Yue. Gou Jian always had doubts about serving under him.
Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi and nine princes, and brought the world under his control. It is certainly a good story among the monarchs and ministers, but since he was a senior official of Qi State, he naturally worked hard for the country.
As for Fan Li, Wen Zhong and others, Gou Jian did not know their purpose of doing things for him. For the name? For power? In order to avenge Wu State for Chu State? It can't be for the sake of crossing the country.
Of course, he didn't want to care about this before completing his revenge on Fu Chai.
At least Gou Jian can be sure that at the moment, the interests of Fan Li and Wenzhong should be consistent with his own. After investing so many years of time and energy, it’s impossible to give up just because you want to.
Speaking of Fan Li, he went to southern Vietnam to search for beauties. How long will it take for him to come back? The daily political affairs of the Yue Kingdom were greatly affected by the absence of such an important minister.
The flipping of the small sword soon stopped, and silently, relying on the connection between the swords, an order from Gou Jian was passed to the pedestrian doctor and young Sima Yiyong a hundred miles away.
After issuing this order, Gou Jian continued to check the information accumulated in the lightsaber in recent days.
Bizhen, the contemporary witch of Shenwu Mountain, has prepared many precious treasures and wants to participate in the implementation of the honey trap?
Well, through witchcraft transformation, the top beauties of the Yue Kingdom are made more attractive?
Gou Jian knew that witchcraft was actually a branch of the ancient Qi alchemists, but if he wanted to further improve the peerless beauty whose appearance had reached the pinnacle of the world, he would have to pay a certain price.
A mortal body carrying beauty comparable to that of an immortal will naturally encounter a terrible curse.
Gou Jian didn't care about the impact of the curse on the beauties involved in the plan, but he was a little worried about whether there would be anyone in Wu who could see through this kind of witchcraft, such as Wu Zixu and Sun Wu.
However, thinking of the previous generation god Wu Wudu who sacrificed his life for the country, he still agreed. If you are afraid of an accident, you can give it a try by using part of the witchcraft first and not using part of it.
…
Chungquanyi, the residence of the Peng family.
Following the soldier captain holding a big ax, Zhao Qing and Zheng Dan quickly walked into the Peng family compound.
Although Peng Zhi invited Zhao Qing, the soldier captain who performed the invitation mission did not stop Zheng Dan from going with him. On the contrary, he was quite excited.
After leaving a few soldiers to deal with Xu Shiliu's body, he led the two of them straight to Peng's house in the south of the city.
The midday sun shines straight down, and the yard is filled with the warmth of spring. However, as far as Zhao Qing's perception is concerned, there seems to be a very light fire energy in the courtyard, which is probably related to the exercises practiced by Peng Zhi.
When we arrived at the hall where we received guests, we saw many white strips hung outside, indicating that the owner of the house was in mourning.
"A gentleman does not use cyan for decoration, and red and purple are not considered underwear." In funeral ceremonies, acquired color is usually considered to be a kind of "fake" and the end of etiquette.
In front of the hall door, the soldier captain went in first to report a few words, and soon, Peng Zhi, dressed in white burlap clothes, came out.
Looking at Zheng Dan, who was dressed in regular clothes but still looked extraordinary, his eyes revealed an unconcealable light of joy.
Obviously, the soldier just told him about Zheng Dan's arrival. Peng Zhi mainly greeted Zheng Dan, who came with Zhao Qing. According to rumors, he might become a noble person in the future.
He saluted: "You two girls, Peng Zhi is polite here."
Duanmu Shuliang also walked out, followed by three beautiful girls.
Peng Zhi showed a faint smile, pointed to the three girls behind him, and introduced: "This is my daughter, Ji Meng Lin; the other two are my daughter's concubines, you can call them Xiang." Son, Yue’er.”
"After the three of them learned that Miss Zheng, a beautiful and talented woman with great martial arts, was in danger, they wanted to sacrifice themselves for each other. It happened that Brother Shuliang also mentioned that he was preparing a plan to find someone to pretend to escape. I This will fulfill the wishes of several of them.”
Ji Menglin, the most gorgeously dressed girl among the three girls, bowed and said: "My two sisters and I want to join the Duanmu family caravan and help Sister Zheng. I don't know. Can you guys make it easier for me?"
The other two girls looked at each other and nodded.
Zhao Qing looked at Ji Meng Lin, who was not far away and was about the same age as him, and found that after she finished speaking, her body began to tremble slightly, and her face also showed a faint look of struggle.
The expressions of the two nuns were also a little unnatural, but they were much better than those of Meng Lin.
After all, in the past, the pampered eldest lady had to make sacrifices, and the pain and struggle in her heart was indeed much greater than that of a nun with a low status.
Risking your daughter's life to please Zheng Dan, the future "princess"?
This has to be said to be a bold investment with huge returns, if you don't care about his behavior of using his daughter as a commodity instead of an independent person.
Normally, Zheng Dan would have forgiven him for the mistakes he had made before, and even feel grateful. Peng Ju had indeed made a good move.
However, would Zheng Dan really accept such an operation?
Zhao Qing recalled the past events that Zheng Dan had told him before, and felt that she might not accept it, especially after discovering that Meng Lin had faintly expressed fear.
Sure enough, Zheng Dan's eyes were wandering and confused for a while, and finally showed a firm look.
She stepped forward and pressed Meng Lin's shoulder with her hand. Through the change of strength, she could sense the other party's true mood.
Ji Menglin has no skills and has no ability to hide her emotions.
Feeling a gentle force on her shoulders flowing into her organs, her heart beat faster and faster. She looked anxiously at Peng Zhi, who had a serious look on her face, with a few tears leaking out of the corners of her eyes.
"Miss Zheng, brother Shuliang, it seems that the younger girl is a little bit worse in character and is not suitable to be a substitute. However, although Xiang'er and Yue'er are different in appearance, they are still brave and careful on weekdays. It can be considered.”
Seeing that Meng Lin was about to break down and reveal herself, Peng Zhi cursed in his heart, saying that if he had been more rigorous in training yesterday and had been less doting on his daughter in the past, such flaws would not have occurred.
"Miss Zhao, I heard that you discovered Xu Shiliu, a gangster from Chungquan, in the market, and shot him to death on the spot. You did a good job."
He turned to look at Zhao Qing, changed the subject and said: "In order to repair the damage to the streets and city walls, my family's money has been almost exhausted. Even if the previous soul-covering beads were sold at a low price, I can't afford them anymore."
"In the morning, I ordered my subordinates to sell some slaves and sundries that were no longer needed at home. It was also because I did not check carefully and failed to find out Xu Shiliu's concealment of his skills, so I sent him to the market for sale, which almost caused an accident. Blunder."
Didn't it lead to a big mistake? A son of Yuwei's family died, and I made an enemy. Zhao Qing frowned slightly.
