On the East China Sea, five warships cut through the wind and waves. They were the five warships responsible for escorting Gongsun Wushang.
Gongsun Wushang stood on the side of the boat, looking at the gradually receding coastline, with a myriad of emotions at once. There were too many emotions, and they were too complicated. At this moment, Gongsun Wushang didn't know what he was feeling.
Are you proud? Yes! Now I am the Minister of Justice in the powerful and vibrant Shang Kingdom, a top-ranking official, and I have personally created a legal system that is now praised by the Shang Kingdom. Many countries have come to learn from me, including the State of Liu. Needless to say, I am proud.
Are you touched? Yes! Li Xian used five warships to escort him. This was an unimaginable honor! Just this one time was enough for Gongsun Wushang to benefit from it for the rest of his life.
But apart from these, there is also an indescribable melancholy.
Gongsun Wushang knew that he would never be able to return to Liu State. Whether it was Li Xian's kindness or Liu State's current environment, it would not allow him to go back. Besides, "A good horse never turns back to eat the grass it has already passed" applies to almost any talent with self-esteem.
Moreover, the grand ceremony shown by the State of Liu in receiving him this time made Gongsun Wushang the target of public criticism. If he returned to the State of Liu, he would surely die without knowing how he died!
But Liu State is his own country after all, and he still has relatives and friends there.
"The greatest hatred is for those who are separated! The greatest sorrow is for those who are away from home!" Gongsun Wushang sighed and leaned on the railing to look into the distance.
Suddenly, Gongsun Wushang discovered a plane flying from the shore of Liuguo. Now Gongsun Wushang is also a Yuanying stage master, and he can easily see the rapidly approaching plane.
The plane naturally discovered the five warships. Liu Guo's Prime Minister Han Yuanchang flew out of the plane and shouted from afar in the sky: "Liu Guo's Prime Minister Han Yuanchang visits Minister Gongsun Wushang!"
"What a strange name!" For some reason, when Gongsun Wushang saw Han Yuanchang chasing him, this was the first thought that flashed through his mind. Then, Gongsun Wushang replied: "What do you want, Prime Minister Han?"
"Liu Guo wants to buy the five warships we have now. Is it possible to negotiate?"
"Ah..." Gongsun Wushang was very surprised, but thinking of the national policy of the Shang Kingdom, Gongsun Wushang did not refuse outright, "Please go to the deck. I will ask Marshal Gao Shirong first."
The one who escorted Gongsun Wushang this time was Gao Shirong, the second deputy commander of the navy, whose status was slightly lower than Hao Youcai.
However, asking a naval commander to sell the warship he just fell in love with, is this the result... Gongsun Wushang was scolded out of the command room by Gao Shirong.
Seeing this, Han Yuanchang no longer cared about the rule that the bottom line could not be revealed during negotiations, and said directly: "We are willing to exchange the Ziyan County in the southwest for the current five warships!"
"Zi Yan County?" Gongsun Wushang's eyes widened immediately.
As a native of Liu, Gongsun Wushang knew too well the peculiarities of Ziyan County. Once upon a time, Ziyan County was a barren land, sparsely populated because it was close to the sea and to the south close to the famously chaotic Bian State.
However, Ziyan County has a specialty - underground turbid air! Ziyan County Ziyan County got this name because there is too much turbid air underground. A large amount of turbid air evaporates, making this place like a demonic domain.
