Zheng Guo. On the court.
Manchu Wu Gongli looked at a gloomy king on the throne. The king looked at a bamboo slip, his eyes kept changing.
"Snapped!"
The king slapped the bamboo slips on the table.
"You idiot, you bastard!" The king shouted loudly.
In front of him, there was a man who delivered a letter on his knees.
"Your Majesty, King Cai is at the entrance of the palace. In front of many people in Shangcai, he believed the words of Xu Si, the remnant of the Xu Kingdom, and detained the crown prince!" The messenger gritted his teeth and said angrily.
All the ministers also had angry expressions on their faces.
"Dare to arrest my son, Duke Huan of Cai? You are looking for death. Although Zheng Guo has just captured Xu Guo, it doesn't mean that Zheng Guo has no power to fight again. Hmph, inform the First Legion to press me to the border of Cai Guo Come in!" The king shouted angrily.
"Here!" A minister responded.
The king stepped up and stood up, looking to the south. A coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Cai Guo? Hmph!"—
Another month passed. Elixir House.
A trace of snowflakes fell from the sky and scattered in a small courtyard.
Chen Yi, the little witch, and the Lu brothers looked at Jiang Tai.
"Boom!" Jiang Tai put an 800-jin boulder on top of the whole country.
"Eight hundred catties, the eighth level of Body Tempering Realm, Jiang Tai, your cultivation is really fast!" The little witch sighed.
"Didn't you also improve?" Jiang Tai smiled.
The little witch said with a bitter face: "How can you compare with the three monsters, you can lift 800 catties, and the Lu brothers can each lift 700 catties, how long has it been? Half a year, you all hit There are seven or eight checkpoints, and I only have two!" The little witch smiled wryly.
"Feifei, you don't need to underestimate yourself, you are in the Jing Qi Realm, and you have already reached the ninth level of the Jing Qi Realm. Among your peers, you are considered outstanding!" Chen Yi smiled.
"It can't compare to the three monsters!" The little witch smiled wryly.
Chen Yi looked at Jiang Tai and the other three, and smiled wryly. Chen Yi has taken in many students, but these three are the most exotic, the most edible, and the fastest in cultivation.
"Lu Yixia, Lu Sanxia, last time I asked you to write a letter home, did your father receive it?" Chen Yi looked at Ertong.
"I received it a long time ago, and my father wrote back to me, saying, eat more outside, and try not to come back!" Lu Sanxia puffed her mouth.
"Try not to go back?" Chen Yi asked blankly.
How can there be a father who doesn't care about his son's life or death
"I wrote the increased appetite in the letter. My father may be afraid that we will go back and eat him poorly! Then we will starve to death together." Lu Yixia said strangely.
Chen Yi: "...!"
Jiang Tai: "... !"—
Outside of Shangcai.
A group of people slowly approached Shangcai City.
Everyone wore armor, rode big horses, and four horses pulled a carriage, moving slowly. But judging from the armor style, it is not Cai Guo armor.
In the distance, the guards at the gate of Cai Guocheng saw people and horses in the distance.
"Chu State mission?" A Cai State guard's expression changed. He quickly greeted him.
A group of people stopped suddenly.
"Are you the envoy of Chu?" Cai Guo's guard immediately asked respectfully.
Among the missions of the State of Chu, a handsome man in a blue robe, riding on a tall horse, just glanced at the guards of the State of Cai, and looked at the city of Nuoda Shangcai again.
Guard Cai frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to attack.
"Clack, cluck, cluck!" came the laughter of two women from inside the carriage.
"Master Hou, we're here!" A soldier said respectfully.
The woman's laughter continued for a while before the curtain of the carriage was slowly pulled open.
But seeing two extremely beautiful maids, they really smiled and looked inside the carriage: "Master Hou, we've arrived in Shangcai City!"
"Really?" A majestic male voice came from inside the carriage.
Instead, he saw a burly man in a gorgeous black brocade robe, walking slowly to the entrance of the carriage, standing on the top of the carriage, with his arms around two beautiful maids.
"Master Hou, don't, there are people here!"
"Master Hou, giggle, you're tickling me, giggle!"
The two maids laughed lightly, but the black-robed Lord Hou took a deep breath: "Are you here? Shangcai?"
Guard Cai's expression changed.
"It turned out to be the Marquis of Chu Zhaohou of the Chu Kingdom. Please forgive me for not knowing his arrival!" the guard of the Cai Kingdom immediately said respectfully.
"Master Hou, please enter the city!" Another Cai Guo guard said respectfully.
Chu Zhaohou cast a glance at the Cai Guo guard, showing a sneer.
"You are also qualified to invite me into the city? Go, ask King Cai to pick me up in person!" Chu Zhaohou said lightly.
The faces of the two Cai Guo guards froze, but they did not dare to refute.
"I'll report to King Cai right away!" Cai Guo's guard said respectfully.
Then, Cai Guo guards quickly rushed into the city.
Chu Zhaohou looked at the group of 'spineless' Cai Guo guards with disdain, and turned to look at the handsome man in green robe on the big horse beside him.
"Crane Immortal, what do you think about Cai's luck?" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile.
The handsome man in the green robe, the Immortal Crane's expression moved slightly: "Just now I used the "Book of Changes" to make up a hexagram. The foundation of the country is shaken, and a huge danger is hidden!"
"Oh?" Chu Zhaohou asked suspiciously.
"The hexagram says, go up the mountain and down the marsh, damage, and the gentleman uses it to suffocate his desire! It means that the king has no way, does not care about the life and death of the people below, and only cares about selfish desires. Under the seemingly gorgeous appearance, there are already many crises, and the king is even more vicious. Desperate, ambitious, but gradually pushing himself into a desperate situation, although Cai Guo is lucky, his vitality is constantly being consumed by the king. Loss, loss, gain, but the gain is precarious!" Crane Immortal squinted his eyes Said.
"Cai Guo? Heh!" Chu Zhaohou sneered.
"Master Hou, Chu State is not a place to stay for a long time after all. I see the weather in Cai State, and if there is a catastrophe, Lord Hou should leave as soon as possible!" Immortal Crane said in a deep voice.
"Crane Immortal, don't worry, I won't stay for too long. This time I came here under the order of the King of Chu, everything is important, and everything else is incidental!" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile.
"That's good!" Immortal Crane nodded.
"It is my honor to be helped by Immortal Crane!" King Chu Zhao praised.
"You don't have to be like this, Lord Hou. I just came here to be your guest. When the time comes, I will leave again. I hope that Zhaohou will not be in trouble when he arrives!" He Xianren shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, Immortal Crane, this Marquis will not be rude!" Chu Zhaohou said with a smile, but there was a trace of disapproval in his eyes.
Crane Immortal nodded and looked at Shangcai City in the distance again.
"Crane Immortal, do you think the rumors are true, there is a resurrection pill that can be swallowed to become a fairy?" Chu Zhaohou asked curiously.
Crane Immortal was silent for a while and said: "Returning to Life Pill, it is rumored to surpass the fortune of heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, Bian Que can refine it. However, according to the classics of my master, the Pill of Resurrection from Death should not be as exaggerated as the legend!"
"oh?"
"Resurrecting the Dead Pill, surpassing the world's good fortune, the most powerful ability is to communicate the two worlds of yin and yang, which cannot be achieved by human beings. If you say that you can become a fairy after eating it, you must be exaggerating. If you can eat it and become a fairy, why doesn't Bian Que eat it himself? ? However, it may be true that eating can increase your strength!"
"What will happen if I eat it?"
"The fortune of seizing the heavens and the earth is naturally powerful. If Lord Hou can take the Death Resurrection Pill, perhaps his strength can be further improved!" The Immortal Crane guessed.
...
"Advancing to a higher level?" Chu Zhaohou's eyes suddenly lit up.
"However, Bian Que should not be Yi Yi's generation, Lord Hou should not be aggressive!" Immortal Crane explained.
"En!" Chu Zhaohou nodded. Although I didn't say it on my lips, I remembered it in my heart——
Tsai Palace.
Above the court hall, everything was quiet, King Cai glanced around the group of officials, showing a sneer.
"Zheng Guo? The soldiers are overrun?" King Cai said in a deep voice.
"Yes, King Cai, let Prince Zheng go. A war between the two countries will definitely shake the foundation of the country!" A peace minister said with a frown.
"Shaking the foundation of the country? Hahaha!" Cai Aihou laughed loudly.
The officials looked at Cai Aihou.
"Your Majesty has announced to the world that Xudu is already the territory of our Cai Kingdom. Zheng Guo's rebels have occupied my Xudu and robbed my territory, and now they are still suppressing the border? Do you want to release Zheng Jia? Huh!" Cai Aihou snorted coldly. .
King Cai nodded and said, "I, Cai Guo, have always been brave and invincible. What about Zheng Guo? If they dare to invade my territory, they will be beaten back!"
"Call back!" Cai Aihou shouted in response.
All the main fighters immediately shouted: "Fight back!"
"Cai Tianlong!" Cai Wang shouted.
"The minister is here!" Cai Tianlong immediately came out.
"As Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, Cai Tianlong presides over the Northern Expedition against Zheng. All the troops in the northern battalions are at your disposal!" King Cai ordered in a deep voice.
"I obey the order!" Cai Tianlong responded.
"Scatter the court!" Cai Wang said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The officials responded and withdrew from the hall. There was a lot of discussion.
Although it was a gift from Xu Guo, it also meant that the battle with Zheng Guo had officially begun.
Just as the officials were leaving the hall, suddenly a guard rushed in.
"Report, Your Majesty, the Chu Zhaohou Mission from the Chu State is here and stops outside the west gate, asking Your Majesty to go and greet you!" the guard said eagerly.
The officials who had just walked out of the hall suddenly showed surprise.
"Chu country? The leader country?"
"There was no news before, what are you doing here?"
"Chu Zhaohou, the state of Chu actually sent Chu Zhaohou here?"
……………
...
...
The officials stopped immediately. Chu State is different from other countries. Chu State is one of the five overlords in the world, and Cai State is also a member of the Chu State Alliance.
The most important thing is that the state of Chu is next to the state of Cai.
Envoys from upper-level countries who go to lower-level countries generally do not have a high status.
But this time it was indeed Chu Zhaohou himself? Everyone instantly lifted their spirits.
Cai Wang frowned and looked at Cai Aihou, a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. At this juncture, why did the state of Chu send envoys
"Ministers, welcome Cai Zhaohou with me!" Cai Wang solemnly said.
"Yes!" The ministers should shout.
Under the leadership of King Cai, the officials quickly walked out of the palace and headed for the west gate. All the people were at a loss as they passed by. How could King Cai walk on foot
outside the city.
While Chu Zhaohou was talking with Immortal Crane, suddenly there was a commotion in the city gate in the distance, and a large number of officials and guards of Cai Guo rushed out, crowding King Cai and approaching him quickly.
Chu Zhaohou smiled slightly, and a flash of arrogance flashed in his eyes!
