An elaborate plot.
The merits of Conglong who usurped the throne and his folk influence as a war hero.
Duke Dingguo became the actual ruler of Wei State, with overwhelming power.
And Wei Chen, the prince who was once oppressed.
Now that he has ascended to the throne, he has begun to demonstrate his ruling talents.
He attacked decisively and defeated the Chu army, which not only stabilized the domestic political situation, but also won the hearts and minds of the people.
However, behind all this lies a more complex political struggle.
Wu Qi, this seemingly loyal general, actually has his own ambitions.
He used Chu Muxue's anger to push the Chu army to attack Weiguo, and then achieve his goal.
After the Chu army retreated, Wu Qi returned to Chu with Gongshu Ban.
However, what he didn't know was that the real Gongshu Ban had been picked up by Su Ye.
This war seemed to be a defeat for the Chu State, but in fact it was a good show jointly performed by Duke Dingguo and Wu Qi.
Su Ye, who had been hiding behind the scenes, was secretly observing everything at the moment.
Yan State.
In the prime minister's house.
As night fell, Su Ye sat in the study, the lights flickering, reflecting his thoughtful face.
Mo Yizheng reported on the change of dynasties in Weiguo.
Mo Yi reported truthfully:
"Sir, the situation in the Wei Kingdom has initially stabilized. After the new king Wei Chen defeated the Chu army, the domestic political situation is stable and the people's hearts have returned."
Su Ye's eyes flashed.
From the perspective of outsiders who don’t know why, all this is unexpected but reasonable.
And Su Ye, in a few words of report, was keenly aware of the secret collusion between Ding Guogong and Wu Qi.
As expected, Duke Ding was not a simple person. He was thinking secretly in his heart, but his face remained calm.
At this moment, Jin Yiwei came to report and brought a man back:
"Sir, I have returned from Weiguo."
The person who came here is not handsome in appearance, but his eyes are sharp and his breath is calm. At first glance, he is a master.
This person is exactly Gongshu Ban.
Gongshu Ban looked at Su Ye up and down with the arrogance unique to a genius, with a hint of provocation in his tone:
"Are you the legendary Su Ye in white?"
Su Ye smiled faintly and seemed not to mind Gongshu's provocation.
He knew that for such a master, he could not confront him head-on, but must outsmart him.
Su Ye replied calmly:
"Yes, I am Su Ye, Mr. Gongshu Ban, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Gongshu's eyes flickered, as if he was considering Su Ye's strength and sincerity.
Then he sat down and said straight to the point:
"I came back this time to find like-minded people to achieve great things together."
Su Zhiye was suddenly moved, but his face remained calm:
"What is the great cause that Mr. Gongshu Ban mentioned?"
A mysterious light flashed in Gongshu Ban's eyes, and he whispered:
"Master Su, do you know that the current situation of the Seven Kingdoms of Kyushu is like a piece of scattered sand? The princes are divided and the people are in dire straits. I want to find like-minded people to join forces to break this situation and achieve true national unity so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Su Ye's eyes were as bright as a flashlight, and the idea of such a great talent and great cause coincided with his.
He looked directly at Gongshu:
"What you said is exactly what I want. The people of Kyushu have not had a stable life for too long. It is time to end this situation."
Gongshu nodded and said with a smile:
"Not only that, I heard that Mr. Su Ye has a benevolent heart and is also capable of designing weapons. I wonder if Mr. Su can give me some advice?"
Su Ye nodded slightly, what Gongshu Ban said was exactly the news he had ordered to be spread before.
The real reason why Gongshu Ban, who had never left the mountain easily, was willing to travel thousands of miles to come to the Yan Kingdom was nothing more than this.
He no longer concealed it, but took out the design drawings of the weapon catapult and improved crossbow that he had just designed, and handed them to Gongshu Ban.
"Mr. Gongshu, these are some weapons I have designed recently. Although they have not been tested in actual combat, I believe in their power."
Gongshu looked at the design handed over by Su Ye with sharp eyes.
Before actually seeing Su Ye, Gongshu Ban also thought about whether the rumors were just a mystery of Su Ye in white.
It wasn't until he saw the drawings in front of him that Gongshu Ban realized that he was wrong.
The picture shows a fantastic idea that he had never seen before in his life.
Like a world trapped in a blueprint, everything around him no longer exists for Gongshu Ban.
His eyes sparkled with excitement, and he knew how precious the design in front of him was.
Su Ye did not rush, but quietly waited for Gongshu's reaction.
After a long time, Gongshu Ban finally looked up from the drawings, his eyes full of wonder and admiration:
"Master Su, your talent is truly rare in my life. I, Gongshu Pan, am willing to work for you and achieve our great cause together."
Su Ye smiled and said nothing.
Gongshu Pan had not yet calmed down from his excitement. He just wanted to continue studying the design drawings in his hands without sleep and food, and said:
"Master Su, please allow me to leave first and study the design of these weapons. I will definitely provide you with the most sophisticated weapons in the future."
Su Ye nodded with a smile and watched Gongshu leave.
He knew in his heart that the addition of this genius would bring unprecedented power to their plan.
Chu State.
Wu Qi returned to Chu State with what he thought was a public defeat.
However, he did not know that the Gongshu Ban he brought back was not the real Gongshu Ban.
Facing the officials' doubts about Chu's defeat, Wu Qi turned a deaf ear.
In his heart, a small Weiguo cannot compare to Gongshu Ban, the most legendary and skilled craftsman in the Seven Kingdoms.
He respectfully reported to Chu Muxue:
"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is nothing more than temporary gains and losses. Although this time, the Chu State has gained a lot. Gongshu Ban is in my hands. In the future, the Chu State will definitely be able to build an invincible army with his talent. Yi Xue Former shame.”
When Chu Muxue heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Is this public transport really so magical?
She was confused, but looking at Wu Qi's confident look, she also became interested.
Chu Muxue nodded and agreed to summon Gongshu Ban:
"Since what General Wu said is true, please ask General Wu to arrange for Gongshu Ban to enter the palace. I am willing to receive him personally."
Wu Qi was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After saying that, he waved his arms.
Someone immediately brought Gongshu Ban up.
I never thought that when Gongshu Ban saw Chu Muxue, he sneered three times:
"I'm asking the people of Tianlou, when did they become Gongshu Ban of the Chu Kingdom?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Chu Muxue was shocked and raised her voice to question Wu Qi:
"General Wu, what on earth is going on?"
Wu Qi didn't know what happened, he was panicked and broke out in a cold sweat.
There was chaos all around.
But he saw the man looking directly at Chu Muxue with sharp eyes and continued to say in a mocking tone:
"On the order of the host Su Ye, I send my regards to Chu Muxue, the Empress of Chu State!"
