Wu Sheng thought deeply in Yongren Hall all night, and went to the palace again at dawn the next day to pay homage: "I would like to ask your Majesty to send out the Tiger Talisman and send troops for the Northern Expedition!"
Qingyu was surprised and said: "Why did Shen Qing say this? Is it because you don't want to accept the Chu people's intention to negotiate peace?"
Wu Sheng said: "The affairs of the Four Kingdoms are always the responsibility of the Zuo Tu Mansion. Fan Zhong's people are the envoys of the Right Tu Tu. If their names are not correct and their responsibilities are not clear, and if they are not justified, their words will not be believed. Talking with them is no different than playing the harp with an ox. A Chu man Repeatedly, I am often like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror. I still insist on the Northern Expedition."
Qingyu said: "Shen Qing has worried too much. How could the people of Chu not keep their word? The left disciple's government was unfair, so the right disciple sent the envoy. Isn't this the sincerity of the Chu people? When the late emperor passed away, Shen Qing also On the side of the cave, the late emperor once said: Now that the people of Chu are so powerful, they can only lie dormant and not use their energy to do anything!"
Wu Sheng said: "Chu Yong's power is like water and fire, how can it be induced but not unleashed? If it is constantly interrupted, it will be disrupted!"
Wu Sheng begged again and again, but Qingyu just shook his head: "Shen Qing is too worried."
Wu Sheng sighed and said goodbye to Qingyu: "Instead of the Northern Expedition, my troops are stationed outside the city, wasting food and salary, so I will be sent back. Recently, my old injury has relapsed, and my serious illness is difficult to recover. Please return to Mangdang Mountain to recuperate. Please also ask me." Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
If you don't agree with my suggestion, then I'll take my leave. Don't take up any post of Zhuguo. I don't deserve it either.
Qingyu repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Wu Sheng insisted on leaving. Qingyu had no choice but to agree, giving him more spiritual elixirs and healing medicines, and comforting him.
On the day of departure, fifteen military chariots, dozens of charioteers, more than 700 regular soldiers, and more than 200 soldiers were all lined up in front of the camp. Wu Sheng looked at the army he had raised with one hand, and what happened before The depression suddenly dissipated completely.
With this elite soldier at hand, what else do you have to fear?
Yuan Sima came to see him off: "Our country, Yong, is small and weak after all. Facing the great Chu, there are few people who dare to fight. Don't be arrogant and stay."
Wu Sheng shook his head and said: "I am not acting out of impulse, I am trying to escape for my life."
Yuan Sima was stunned: "Why is this so?"
Wu Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "If something happens in the future, don't fight to the death. Come to Mangdang Mountain to find me."
After giving the order, Mang Dang's army set off and headed south along the Yanguan Road.
After entering the Lianshan tribe, Wu Sheng summoned Jin Wuhuan, Dao Nanshe, Huang Feilong, Anuo and others and said: "You continue to go south, station the army in Xiuyun Mountain, and supply the army with food from Mangdang Mountain. I and Zhuo Gongyin have After the agreement was reached, his nephew Zhuo Erhuo led people to build a road, starting from Xiuyun Mountain, and opening up Jiuzhen."
Xiuyun Mountain is the southern boundary of the Dushan tribe that was exterminated a few years ago. It is separated from the Jiuzhen tribes by mountains. It was at Xiuyun Mountain that Wu Sheng reached an agreement with the three tribes and divided up the land and population of the Dushan tribe. I once looked south at the top of the mountain to see the truth.
Wu Sheng's plan was to continue to follow the old method, first build roads, then practice medicine, and finally send troops, and the main force in building roads was the elite soldiers in front of him.
Compared with hunting, Wu Sheng always believed that building roads was a better way to train troops. After being tempered by road building, this army would definitely be reborn.
Everyone took their orders according to the assignment, and Wu Sheng handed over the command to Jin Wuhuan. Jin Wuhuan was already a high-ranking official, he was qualified, and he could be completely trusted and nothing would go wrong.
Wu Sheng left midway, traveling alone this time, and his destination was Yangzhou.
It had been seven years since he came to Yongguo, and he had almost forgotten that he was still a criminal wanted by the academy. Now he suddenly heard that the academy was tracing the whereabouts of Shen Douke, and the worry that had been locked in his heart came back again. Turned out.
What happened to Shen Douk? Why is he missing? Why did the Academy want to track him down? Will it involve myself?
Without understanding these issues, he really couldn't sleep or eat well.
Wu Sheng had been to Yangzhou many times and was familiar with the road. He arrived at Yangzhou City within a few days. He still habitually looked for his wanted notice on the city wall, and found that there were a few more notice boards. However, his own sign had experienced wind and rain, and the portrait was almost unrecognizable, and even the handwriting had almost faded.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it has nothing to do with me?
After entering the city, we went to Zuo Tu's Mansion as usual. After walking around for a few times, we found that there was nothing unusual. The magic circle arranged on the stone beast in front of Zuo Tu's Mansion was not activated, so we climbed over the wall and sneaked in at night.
When they found the main house, they heard the noise coming from inside. Wu Sheng's cultivation level had improved rapidly, and he had already far surpassed Cui Ming. He spat out some magic power, quietly opened the door, and sat down in the main hall to wait patiently.
After a long time, Cui Ming screamed, sweating profusely, and came out from the curtain. When he saw Wu Sheng, his eyes widened. It took him a long time to recover: "Why are you here? This... oh... I'm going to change clothes, you Go in and continue?"
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "I heard that you were imprisoned, so I came here to see you... Don't be naked, go change quickly."
There was a sound of getting dressed in the back room, and Ningxiang came out wearing a thin and transparent gauze. While doing her bun, she poured tea for Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng took the tea and put a huge bead in her hand: "Go back and make a hairpin."
Ningxiang took it with a smile, chatted with Wu Sheng, and left after Cui Ming came out, grabbing Wu Sheng's shoulders.
Cui Ming asked: "No one noticed you when you entered the house, right? What kind of Taoist skills are you doing? You don't look right. I almost didn't recognize you when I first saw you."
Wu Sheng took out a bottle of elixir and put it on the table: "This is the Tianxiang Pill. Within one day after taking it, your appearance will change slightly, not much, but it is very useful in critical situations. Take one in emergency, or It can save your life.”
Cui Ming took it in his hand and said happily: "What a treasure!"
Wu Sheng took out another 20 pieces of gold and said, "Have you suffered in prison? A little kindness can help you calm down."
In the past, twenty yi gold was not worth much to Cui Ming, but in order to escape as soon as possible, he dispersed most of his family wealth. This money was given to him in time. Cui Ming sighed and accepted the love gold. Said: "Who would have thought that something would happen to Shen Douke. I was originally very optimistic about him..."
Wu Sheng said: "Tell me, what is the reason?"
Cui Mingdao: "I asked Dong Dalang to tell you everything I know. I'm also very surprised. He can't see anyone alive or dead, so where can he go?"
Wu Sheng asked: "Why did Yangzhou Xing look for him?"
Cui Mingdao: "I have been thinking about it over and over again in the past two days. When I met with Zhou Yin Jinghui, I asked him about it. He said that the academy investigated the death of Ling Yin Qu Wan. It seemed that Qu Ling Yin died of a sudden illness. There was something strange in it, which caused Got the Academy’s attention.”
Wu Sheng nodded: "Are you completely exonerated?"
Cui Mingdao: "I haven't left Yangzhou in these years. How can I know what happened in Zhoulai and Jifu battlefield?" He sighed: "If I hadn't exhausted all my family wealth, I would have escaped from prison even if I didn't know anything." Layers of skin.”
Wu Sheng comforted him: "As long as you are still Zuo Lang, it will not be a problem to have money... Youtu's government sent Fan Zhong to make Yong, do you know about this?"
Cui Ming smiled bitterly and said: "You don't need to count on me for this matter. Fan Youtu has been fully responsible for it. I, Zuo Tu's house, will deal with the sinner. Unless the matter of Shen Zuo Tu is found out, I will not let him take charge." . What Yingdu is most worried about is Shen Douke defecting to Wu. It is rare for a general like him to defect to the enemy in decades."
Wu Sheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever dealt with that Yangzhou traveler?"
