The Pu platform is five feet high, with a length and width of about thirty to forty feet. It is square and square, like a high platform built by a man, and is very suitable for alliance gatherings.
When Yong Guo's chariot arrived, the other three kingdoms had already arrived. According to tradition, the three kings of Yu Zi, Kui Nan and Lin Nan should come out to greet them. After all, Yong Guo's position was in the rank of Shangjue. However, in the past two alliance meetings, Marquis Yong was unable to come due to foot illness, and Prince Qingyu took over the alliance on his behalf. Therefore, the kings of the three families did not come forward, nor should they come forward, but were greeted by important ministers.
Yongguo built a camp in the north of Putai, laid down wooden piles and erected fences for the stronghold, placed chariots around the stronghold to form towers, and pitched more than 20 military tents. Even though it is a small military camp with more than a hundred people, everything is in order, with walls, buildings, passages and puddles, and everything is in order.
On the other hand, in the three kingdoms of Yu, Kui and Qu, they had the same number of people, but their tents were very irregular. This is not a matter of simple imitation. It reflects habits and consciousness. It is a long-term tradition that cannot be changed in the short term, not to mention whether you are willing to change or not.
It can also be seen from this that the power of Yongguo back then was not a fluke.
As competition monks, Wu Sheng and Dao Baifeng lived in a large tent. The regulations and treatment enjoyed by the tent were second only to Young Master Qingyu and Yuan Sima. However, due to the mediocre atmosphere, no one dared to talk to them.
After eating, Wu Sheng and Dao Baifeng relaxed around the camp. They climbed up and looked at Putai and the military camps of several countries around Putai. Wu Sheng sighed: "You can see the whole picture at a glance. Looking at the military camps alone, Yongguo should not be able to continue." We have lost to the Fish Country so many times.”
Dao Baifeng said: "After moving to the south of Huyi, Yuguo learned from the painful experience. The two generations of monarchs adopted the policy of tolerance. No matter which noble family, if they are really capable, they will be awarded as scholars, even those who worship the high officials. For example, Shusun Mo, Hu Tiema, and Yanjiu are not fish people. They come from the Tang and Liang countries. They are all subordinates now. The alchemist Yunji was originally a wild man from the country of Yue. When he came to the Queen of Fish, he paid homage to the guest and became a senior official. On the other hand, Dayong, who was self-reliant and did not accept outsiders, had a lot of elites in the country, but after he went to the country to fight for the country's calamity, each generation was inferior to the last."
Wu Sheng nodded and said: "Mr. Yu is a little ambitious to accept talents from all over the world for my use. But I think the country of Yong is not bad at all. If a foreigner like me buys real estate and becomes a member of the country, and a master like Brother Dao, He can also be promoted to a corporal of Simamen. Shangyong City is also extremely prosperous, even better than Yutou City. After all, the country still has strong national strength and a large number of people."
Dao Baifeng sighed: "That's because Young Master, Young Master Qingyu, and Yuan Sima, if they hadn't advocated accepting people from all countries six years ago and promoted them again and again, how could Shangyong be as prosperous as it is today? But it would stop here. Well, Young Master Qingyu originally wanted to carry out the policy of the Fish Kingdom, judging by talent, those who are capable will be promoted directly to the high ministers, and those who are lazy will be demoted and reduced to the rank of nationals. Unfortunately, the Young Master in pairs strongly opposed it, and the monarch did not dare to implement it."
Not judging people based on their family background, but only judging people based on their talents, breaking down the inherent hierarchies, and promoting those who are capable. This is a national policy that is difficult to implement. If you want to denounce incompetent people, it will make people even more angry. No wonder the young master Qingyu cannot implement it. Go down.
Dao Baifeng suddenly said bitterly: "Sometimes, I really want to kill Cheng Shuang!"
Wu Sheng said: "Behind the two young masters, they must be those officials. Brother Dao, please don't mess around, otherwise there will be chaos in the country."
Dao Baifeng suddenly said: "I heard that the assassin Wu Sheng killed the minister of Chu in order to save Hu Fang, and it was a good story in the world. I don't have the ability of a scholar, but I have the heart to imitate. I don't know if Master Shen is willing to do so. Help? After killing Chengshuang, I will kill myself to thank you, and I will never implicate Young Master, Sima and Master Shen!"
Wu Sheng suddenly didn't know what to say. He coughed twice and said: "Don't be rash. Brother Dao is a corporal of Yuan Sima clan. Even if he kills himself to thank each other, those officials will settle the score with Young Master Qingyu and Yuan Sima." The consequences are extremely unpredictable. Before you have a complete solution, you must be cautious and save it for use..."
Dao Baifeng asked: "What is the perfect strategy for Alchemist Shen? Please give me some advice!"
Wu Sheng could only say: "Eat the food one bite at a time, walk step by step, and pass this hurdle first. Didn't you say that you want to fight with your life? If you lose the test, what's the point of assassinating the young master in pairs? So, we must do it If you win, winning will add reputation and chips to Young Master Qingyu..."
"Ugly horse? Ugly horse?"
"...Just think of yourself as a horse..."
"I have never heard of a spiritual beast called an ugly horse. Where can I hunt it? Is it useful?"
"...Well, in the wilderness, if you can find it, there is...well, this is not important. What is important is that we all survive this competition...So, I have a question. Ask Brother Dao for advice."
"I don't dare to take it seriously as asking for advice."
"If I fail in the competition tomorrow, can I not die? Is it necessary for the loser to die?"
"...Not really, but if we lose, we will be ashamed of Young Master and Sima. How dare we live in this world?"
"Isn't this going back to what I just said? If you are risking your life, you will indeed feel no regrets if you die, but where can Master and Sima go to find another loyal and brave righteous man like Brother Dao?"
"How can you be called loyal if you don't make your will known through death?"
"...What if the young masters are in pairs? Who will kill them?"
"This..." Dao Baifeng frowned and twisted together. After a fierce struggle in his heart for a long time, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief and bowed to Wu Sheng: "Thank you very much, Master Shen Dan, for your guidance. I understand. I will endure the humiliation and stay here." This useful body is the sword of Young Master and Sima!"
It would be best if he could figure it out. Anyway, he had no intention of dying. After learning how to make alchemy, Wu Sheng only competed with Langshan Yanbosou in elixir refining, but that was when he was designated to refine Butian Pills. He really had no experience competing with other elixirs. After defeating the alchemists of the Four Kingdoms, I felt quite uneasy.
If it was an iron rule that the loser would die in the furnace, he would really have to escape at night. The risk was too great, and there was really no need to take the risk. Now it seems that the loser does not have to seek death, so it is worth taking a chance. As for Guilt or even shame, he didn't care. Moreover, with Dao Baifeng accompanying him to survive, he can't lose his face.
That night, the important ministers of the three kingdoms of Yu, Kui and Qu gathered in Yuan Sima's tent to discuss the etiquette of tomorrow's alliance and the arrangements for the competition. There were longing figures in the big tent, and the sounds of arguments could occasionally be heard.
Wu Sheng stood in front of his tent, listening attentively, trying his best to discern the truth from the two or three quarrels that came out.
Dao Baifeng came out of the tent, listened with him for a moment, and said: "Master Shen Alchemy, it's better to go back to the tent to rest and recuperate, so that you can fight with all your strength tomorrow. How to compare, all the doctors will decide. After that, I will explain it clearly before the competition tomorrow, it is useless to listen, it is a waste of energy..."
Seeing that Wu Sheng was still listening, Dao Baifeng shook his head and was about to turn around and go back to his account when Wu Sheng suddenly grabbed his arm: "Can you pass a message in?"
