Yan Lingji looked at Ziyou with disdain in her eyes. She didn't believe anyone could change this, so she said
"I can just tell you what you want to ask. There is no need for you to lie to me with such words."
"Sir, I won't lie to you." Snow Girl said as she pushed the door open with two cups of tea.
Yan Lingji looked at the snow girl curiously, put her hand on her chin and said while tilting her head.
"Do you just believe him that much? What if he can't do it?"
"There is nothing in this world that Mr. can't do. You have never heard of Mr.'s reputation, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question." Xue Nu could tell that Yan Lingji didn't know Zi You. During her time in Confucianism, Xue Nu learned a lot. Naturally, she would not argue too much with Yan Lingji. She just put down her tea and asked
"Sir, do you need me to make some food?"
"Sit down some, it will be dawn soon." Ziyou said, looking at the sky outside.
"Yes, sir." Xue Nu glanced at Yan Lingji and left the study.
"From what your maidservant said, you seem to be very famous?" Yan Lingji looked at Ziyou and asked.
Ziyou's appearance was reflected in her bright light blue eyes, which were full of curiosity. Yan Lingji felt that the man in front of her was full of mysteries. Something extraordinary seemed to have happened outside during the years she had been imprisoned. He saw the Zhanlu Sword next to Ziyou again, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. If the owner had had this Zhanlu Sword, maybe they would not have failed, Yan Lingji thought.
"It's okay, he's just a junior, not as good as my teacher." Ziyou said, "What I want to ask is very simple, which is the current situation of Baiyue, and why it fell apart so quickly after the decline of the Yue Kingdom. Became Baiyue today?”
The predecessor of Baiyue, the State of Yue defeated the Wu State and the Central Plains Alliance and successfully won the hegemony and became one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, no one in the Central Plains dared to call the State of Yue a barbarian. However, after Gou Jian's death, the State of Yue After three regicides by the Yue people, the last king of Yue, Wujiang, led troops to attack Qi, but was instigated by Qi's lobbyists to turn around and attack Chu.
Who would have known that King Wei of Chu had long wanted to destroy the Yue State. For this reason, he sent minister Zhao Hua to go deep into the Yue State to conduct a detailed investigation of the customs and military theories of the Yue State. It was clear that the Chu State at that time had already prepared the idea of attacking the Yue State, so after learning that the Yue State King Wujiang had led troops to attack the Chu State, King Chu Wei directly led his army to fight, defeated the Vietnamese army, and killed There were no borders, and the northern army of Yue was defeated by the Qi army.
Because of Wujiang's death in battle and the lack of a clear heir to the throne, Wujiang's children regarded themselves as orthodox and established their own countries. After that, these countries split again and gradually became the current situation. The land of Wuyue, today There were hundreds of tribes, large and small, hence the title Baiyue.
Although the reason for the split of Baiyue was already clear, Ziyou investigated the Confucian classics and found that the three regicides of the Yue Kingdom actually had other implications, including the subsequent split of the Yue Kingdom into today's Baiyue, so Ziyou thought It is necessary to investigate the reasons clearly, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent recovery of Baiyue.
Yan Lingji knocked on the table with one hand, looked at Ziyou and said thoughtfully.
"When South Korea attacked Baiyue, the entire Baiyue had completely fallen apart. Some small tribes could only survive under the protection of large tribes. These large tribes were used to proclaiming themselves kings, but they knew that if they really relied on themselves, they would be completely There was no way to survive, so they all followed the descendants of the original Yue royal family and formed Baiyue, but in fact they were still kings of their own and were called Baiyue.
At first, my master thought about relying on his own strange people and tribes to unify Baiyue, but before he could do it, the Han and Chu coalition forces came to attack Baiyue. As the prince of Baiyue, my master led us to resist with the subordinate tribes. As for the big tribes, because the Han-Chu coalition attacked the Baiyue royal family, although they said they would come to support, no one actually came. If they could obey their master's instructions, it is still unknown who won and who lost in that battle. . "
Yan Lingji almost said the last few words through clenched teeth. From Yan Lingji's mouth, Ziyou seemed to be able to see Tianze's powerlessness and resentment towards these tribes, but Ziyou didn't find it strange. You know that these tribes are used to establishing themselves as kings. You still want to unify and let people be your subordinates. It is strange that they can come to support you. Anyway, what Baiyue needs is just a nominal royal family to stabilize the people of Baiyue. As for whether this royal family is you Tianze or another person, who knows?
The reason why Tianze was made the prince was mainly because Baiyue's belief was snakes, and Tianze was born with different shapes and similar patterns to snakes, so he was made the prince. The people of Baiyue have always been superstitious, so They think Tianze is a symbol of their faith and respect Tianze very much, but the kings of the big tribes are not sure. I am afraid that when the Han-Chu coalition attacked Baiyue, they colluded with people within Baiyue.
"I'm afraid Baiyue is now leaderless. The master is the last hope of the Baiyue royal family. His life and death are unknown now. They either choose another Baiyue king, or they remain the same as before. As for why Baiyue is like this? It’s about to fall apart. I can’t tell you the reason. This is Baiyue’s secret.” Yan Lingji said.
Ziyou narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded. Although he did not know from Yan Lingji the reason why Baiyue fell apart, he also confirmed that Baiyue's split was not that simple.
Looking at Ziyou who was thinking, Yan Lingji reached up and put a hand on Ziyou's shoulder. Her face was extremely close to Ziyou's, and they were just a hair apart from each other. Her seductive red lips were slightly open, Youlan's hot breath hit Ziyou's face and said
"Actually, it's okay if you want to know. You can take this sword in exchange for this secret. You can even exchange it with my master for me~ How about it? Do you want to exchange it?"
"I'm not used to treating women as goods, and you want this sword so much. It seems that Zhanlu is very important to you. Let's make a guess. Zhanlu is extremely important to Baiyue, and Zhanlu was the original member of the Yue Kingdom. A national treasure, the change of generations indicates the prosperity of the country, so Zhanlu was one of the reasons for the split of Baiyue, right?" Ziyou smiled faintly and looked at Yan Lingji who was very close at hand.
Seeing the flash of surprise in Yan Lingji's eyes, Zi You believed that she had guessed correctly. Yan Lingji was stunned by Zi You's guess. She didn't expect that Zi You actually guessed the general reason. The split of Baiyue has a certain relationship with Zhanlu.
"If you hadn't wanted to get Zhan Lu from the beginning, I wouldn't have guessed it, but you are so eager for Zhan Lu. When you talked about Baiyue's defeat, your eyes kept looking at Zhan Lu. Lu, his eyes are full of helplessness and hatred, which has to make people suspicious." Ziyou pushed the stunned Yan Lingji back with one finger.
After Yan Lingji came back to her senses, she looked at Ziyou with resentful eyes and said
"People who are too smart often end up badly. If you go out carefully, you will be hit by a carriage."
"Really? If a carriage could hit and kill the Grandmaster, the carriage would be regarded as a national treasure by South Korea the next day." Ziyou said calmly.
"Now that you know everything you want to know, what are you going to do with me? Are you going to sell me? You must know that I am one of the prisoners in South Korea." Yan Lingji crossed her arms and asked.
"I said that I don't have the habit of treating women as goods, and it's just Korea. I don't take it seriously." Ziyou drank the tea in one gulp and said.
"Can you die if you don't brag?" Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and said. Although South Korea is very weak, no one dares to say that it is not looked down upon. But from the smile on her face, it seems that Yan Lingji is very happy now. , you must know that women have a very low status in this era, and it is common for them to be exchanged as goods.
A powerful person will specifically search for some beautiful women to serve as concubines. On the one hand, it is for their own enjoyment, and more importantly, it is convenient to send guests, yes, to send guests. Generally, when these powerful people have guests, these concubines will come out. Entertainment is that kind of entertainment. Not only will these powerful people not think there is any problem, but they will be happy because their concubine is favored by the guest. This is equivalent to the guest accepting the respect that the host wants to express to the guest.
What's more, if a guest wants to take away the concubine, the powerful man will be very happy and will happily give the concubine to the guest. If this matter is spread, it will be said that the two have a deep relationship and the powerful man is generous and hospitable. , Yan Lingji felt happy only after hearing that Ziyou didn't treat women as goods.
"It just so happens that I have no place to go. Since you don't take South Korea seriously, I'll just stay here with you and see what you will do if I'm discovered?" Yan Lingji said with a smile.
"It's okay to stay, but you have to do something. You Baiyue should have the witchcraft to contact your companions and help me find the location of the exorcist." Ziyou said.
The exorcist is the head of the hidden witches in Baiyue, equivalent to the leader of the high priest of the grassland. The exorcist has a very high status in Baiyue. If the exorcist's services can be obtained, it will be very beneficial to the stability of Baiyue in the future, and Yan Ling Ji, Ziyou remembers that she is one of the saints of Baiyue, but cannot remember the others. Baiyue respects people who are born with visions and special abilities. They think that they are the servants of their gods in the world.
Yan Lingji looked at Ziyou warily, but Ziyou just waved his hand and said
"Forget it, if you don't want to look for it, don't look for it."
There is no chance of getting Yan Lingji to help him find him. It is better to wait for them to come out. For Ziyou, several people in Baiyue are very important except Tianze and Baidu King. Tianze has been blinded by hatred. His eyes were blinded, and he even began to hate his own people. Such people were too dangerous and Ziyou didn't like him. As for the King of Baidu, he was of no use. Although he knew some of Baiyue's mysterious voodoo techniques, it was of no use to Ziyou. big.
"Hey, help me find a set of clothes. Do you want me to wear your clothes all the time?" Yan Lingji said to Ziyou.
"I don't call you Hey, you can call me Zi You, or you can call me husband like Xue Nu, or you can call me Mr. Zi You. As for clothes, you can ask Xue'er, she will help you find clothes." Zi You said He waved his hand and said.
Seeing Ziyou's impatient look, Yan Lingji glared at Ziyou and left.
At this time, the General's Mansion.
Ji Wuye was wearing armor and next to him was a naked and pretty woman. Both of them slept relatively heavily. The woman had a lot of scars on her body. It was obvious that Ji Wuye enjoyed herself very much last night.
Just when the two of them were sleeping, Ji Wuye's ears suddenly twitched and he sat up instantly. Ji Wuye stood up quickly and woke up the woman instantly. Looking at Ji Wuye who sat up, the woman lay on Ji Wuye's body tenderly. said loudly
"General, you've woken up the slave family. It's still early now, let's go to sleep."
"Go aside." Ji Wuye looked sideways at the woman, grabbed her hand and threw her aside.
The woman's head hit the bed directly, and she screamed. She looked at Ji Wuye who got up and said
"General, you have hurt my family, and I want you"
Before the woman finished speaking, Ji Wuye pinched the woman's face with one hand, lifted her up with the other, and said
"Noisy."
Then he casually humiliated the woman and picked up the Bachi sword beside him. In a flash of silver light, the woman's throat was cut. Ji Wuye wiped away the blood drops on the Bachi blade and said
"Dispose of the body."
Ji Wuye dropped the silk cloth in his hand and left the room directly. After Ji Wuye left, the two figures appeared in the room. After the two people wiped away the blood stains in the room, they used the bloody bed quilt to remove the woman's body. Wrapped up and then disappeared into the room.
Ji Wuye came to another room. In the room, Mo Ya knelt on the ground and said to Ji Wuye
"Meet the General."
"I heard that you returned injured and the task of setting up the trap was not completed, right?"
"General, forgive me, Mo Ya is incompetent, please punish me, General." Mo Ya lowered his head and said.
"I don't blame you for this. Luo Wang actually wanted to assassinate the Confucian Mr. Ziyou. Fortunately, you didn't succeed in the assassination. Otherwise, this general would have become the enemy of the entire Confucian family. Luo Wang is really a good method." Ji Wuye said sadly. said.
Ji Wuye didn't expect that his partner Luo Wang would want to use him as a scapegoat. Although he was angry, he could only hold it in because he couldn't afford to offend the person behind Luo Wang - Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei. At this time, Ji Wuye Wuye didn't catch the civil strife within the net. Even if Ji Wuye knew about it, he didn't dare to take any action. It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Although the dog had taken refuge with another owner, Ji Wuye, an outsider, could not get involved. of.
"Thank you, General, for atonement." Mo Ya said.
"This Mr. Ziyou really likes to meddle in other people's business. He seems to be intentionally meddling in South Korea's internal affairs." Suddenly a voice sounded in the room, and then a figure was reflected on the wall.
"You still like to play tricks, what did he do?" Ji Wuye asked as he watched the blood-clothed Hou Bai Yifei walk out from behind the curtain.
"He killed the guard in a secret prison and kidnapped a person we took away from Baiyue." Bai Yifei said.
Ji Wuye's eyes narrowed slightly, and his right hand kept clenching and unclenching Bachi. No one knew what he was thinking.
Today's chapter is complete. I really vomited it. I only released the second chapter of last night this afternoon. The old thief and I are at odds with each other! ! ! ! !
