Wu Zhe left Lao Long's house and went to Princess Qing's Changqing Palace.
A maid from Changqing Palace came out to welcome her: "Miss Zhou, our princess has gone to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. I have left a book for you, Miss Zhou."
"What book?" Wu Zhe was curious.
Soon a maid came over with a mahogany box in both hands.
The maid from before said again: "My princess said that Miss Zhou doesn't need to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If you understand this book, then go find her."
Why? Princess Qing didn't see her first? Wu Zhe felt strange when he heard this.
Then let's see which book is in the box. Wu Zhe nodded and took the book over.
All the court ladies retreated very sensibly.
Wu Zhe didn't open the box on the spot, but opened it outside Changqing Palace, away from the guards and maids.
It's "Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Wu Zhe was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Princess Qing didn't let herself go to see her, but why did she send such a book
Wu Zhe roughly flipped through the book, and confirmed that the content was exactly the same as the one he wrote in Wu Country. Unlike the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" where Princess Qing tested herself, there is no modification.
After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhe slapped the book and had an epiphany.
Princess Qing didn't pester herself as perspicuously as Concubine Zhuang, but instead used Xiao Ruoyao's book to show that the world's strong men are like forests, encouraging herself to make progress.
Smart woman!
Princess Qing's status in Wu Zhe's heart was immediately higher than that of Concubine Qi.
…………………………
Qi State.
"Assuming that if Wu Guo didn't sneak over, we would suffer a lot." King Qi said with a wry smile on Concubine Qi.
There are piles of documents piled up on his desk, all of which are the summaries of troops and supplies from all parties in the Qi Kingdom.
A large number of them were extracted with the help of normal means, used to conceal people's eyes and ears, and it is absolutely impossible to detect abnormalities if they are not too sensitive.
Because of the mobilization of troops and materials, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of Emperor Xuanwu. It might make him give up the surprise attack plan.
"After all, if Wu Guo is not aware of our secret preparations, we have to make a lot of useless transfers." Concubine Qi also said helplessly: "But I still trust Xiao Ruoyao's information. How has she ever failed our expectations?"
King Qi agreed: "That's right. And once Emperor Xuanwu's surprise attack is carried out, it will definitely be a thunderbolt. If we are not prepared at all, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss. But if there is a chance now, let him fall. It’s a good balance.”
If you think about it normally, it might not be a good way to force the opponent to give up the surprise attack. But Emperor Xuanwu is a person who has a beginning and an end, and he absolutely must investigate why the Wu Congress found out about his surprise attack plan. This is a very important point that King Qi is worried about, so Wu Guo should not be aware of it.
In addition, King Qi also hoped to take advantage of this expected surprise attack to severely hit Wu Guo's military power.
The comprehensive national strength of Wu State is much higher than that of Qi State, and Jin State is recovering again. Although the young Zong Zhilian can be regarded as a promising enlightened lord, he has already grasped the power of Jin in just over a month. But after all, the foundation is still shallow, and many times there are various forces under the Jin court. Appears to be respectful, but in reality may not listen to the deployment.
Especially after the extinction of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, although the new Jin King appeared soon, the forces in various places were panicked. Many forces have secretly dredged up relations with the Wu Kingdom, considering paving the way for the future.
Fortunately, Wu Zhe wiped out the two military forces, which made the country of Jin quieter, otherwise the speculators would not be just ready to move.
"How is the second prince?" King Qi asked with his forehead supported.
"Fortunately, you can ask him." Concubine Qi smiled and said, "I'm watching. But I'm afraid he will make trouble at this time. Although it won't cause much trouble, General Huyi Qi has military power after all. Once you have a sword in the country .It will inevitably hurt the peace."
"I'm most afraid of not having self-knowledge." Qi Wang slammed the table: "The second child has no other skills, why bother to do it? General Qi is the same. Can't you see the national situation clearly? At this time, it should be time to unite against the threat of the Wu Kingdom It is."
"Lessons are useless. Military generals are always very stubborn and can only be suppressed." Concubine Qi was also helpless.
The only unstable factor in Qi State is the competition between the second prince and the eldest son. King Qi has actually made it clear about the inheritance of the throne, but the second prince just doesn't give up, and he still keeps fighting for the throne after uniting with General Qi.
In order to avoid domestic turmoil, there are also my own physical reasons. King Qi adopted a forbearance attitude for the time being.
Sometimes, he thought about solving the problem once and for all.
However, he couldn't go down and be cruel.
After all, he is his own biological son, and Concubine Qi is not the biological mother of the second prince, so it is not easy to persuade or urge him in this regard. As a result, this matter can only be dragged on.
Although King Qi is a Mingjun. But it happened to be an honest gentleman, which was different from Xuanwu Emperor's profit-seeking villain Mingjun.
If Emperor Xuanwu were to take the position of King Qi, he would definitely find an opportunity to kill the second prince without hesitation, so as to prevent the possibility of cholera in the country. Of course, he will not do it himself, but pretend to do things with others.
Just like after Prince Xuan was defeated before, Emperor Xuanwu's attitude towards the captured prince. It was completely half-indulging and half-instigating Prince Mo to complete this brother-killing task.
Completing this task is also what made Emperor Xuanwu appreciate Prince Mo very much. It is the most important step for Prince Mo to reach the throne.
"Recently, I arranged for some old and respected scholars to teach the second prince. I hope he will find his way back." King Qi turned to ask, "Is the situation in the Heavenly Land Pavilion all right?"
"Everything is fine. The sect master's Xuanwu still hasn't made a breakthrough, but Xiao Ruoyao's two partners, Mu Qingya and Hu Yunjiao, have made rapid progress."
"Have you broken through to the moon stage?" King Qi was greatly surprised.
Concubine Qi laughed when she was asked: "How is it possible, the two of them together are not as old as me. You are as good as Xiao Ruoyao when you are a girl genius?"
King Qi smiled embarrassingly.
Concubine Qi said again: "It's Hu Yunjiao's elder brother, we Qi people, Hu Yunshang, actually broke through."
She took out a book card, pointed to it and said, "Look, the good news from the Kingdom of Jin. It is the young man who competed with Dugubao in sword intent when he rescued Princess Youyou. With this battle, He has a great understanding, and he has actually advanced."
"A saint of the moon rank? A young master who comprehends the meaning of the sword?" Qi Wang was overjoyed: "That's great, although he is guarding the new king, he is also a member of our Qi country. If necessary, he can be recalled at any time."
"It's a good thing that we have new young masters rising." Concubine Qi suddenly remembered something: "What I'm worried about is that the Heavenly Sage of the Wu Kingdom, just like the suzerain was worried about before, what kind of special skills is he practicing? "(to be continued...)
