Xiao Xun walked on the flat white jade, because his body shape had not changed much from thirty years ago. At this time, he measured the jade joints outside Ningguo Hall step by step. He couldn't help but think of the scene of running and jumping here as a child. The so-called pavilion.

As before, the buildings are empty, but they are just old things that I don’t want to recount again.

Originally, he planned to take Xiao Zai with him to take a look at the long-lost palace on this moonlit night. At this moment, Xiao Xun stopped in the open space outside Ningguo Hall, turned around and walked back to Ningguo Hall.

Liu asked: "Why should my uncle go alone to help Chen Guo fight against the Rong people? I can just go and lead the troops in the war."

Xiao Xun chuckled lightly, then patted Liu on the shoulder and said: "Silly boy, there is no danger for me to go to Chen State. Are the tens of thousands of Chen State's border guards free of charge? How is it possible for the leader of Qi State to lead troops into battle? The most dangerous thing now is

The place is here. Although Song State has moved its capital, the Song army may come back to attack Qi State and Wei State at any time. At this time, Qi State needs military leaders with strong military skills the most. You must stay in Jade Capital and protect Qi State."

Liu originally wanted to say goodbye to his uncle and go to the Chu Kingdom to find Shu'er, but when he heard his uncle's words about his family, country, and world affairs, he could no longer talk about his children's personal affairs. He could only say vaguely: "Uncle, wait for you to come from Chen."

When I come back from the country, I don’t have to stay in Jade City, right?"

To his surprise, Xiao Xun answered very readily: "Xiao Xun, I promise you, I will hold a coronation ceremony after I come back from Chen State. At that time, you can go to Chu immediately after you have paid homage to me.

The country is looking for your beautiful little lady, who is as beautiful as a flower. You must also promise me that if I never come back, you will immediately ascend to the throne of King Qi."

Liu was not surprised that his uncle could see what was on his mind. After all, Shu'er was indeed as beautiful as a flower, as evidenced by the allies of the four countries, and witnessed by the kings of the three countries. He smiled and said: "Uncle, let's high-five as an oath."

Xiao Xun stretched out his right hand and struck Liu with both palms, a clean and crisp attack.

Almost at the same time as the leader of the Qi State, Xiao Xun, he entered Fanjing of the Chen State, a young man in civilian clothes. The young man hurriedly traveled from the Chu State to the Song Dynasty, and then from the Song State to the Wei State. He stayed in Dongyang for half a day, and then set off to enter the Zhao State.

Although the State of Zhao no longer borders the State of Song at this time, it means that it does not need to be caught between the feuds of Chen and Song. However, travelers who enter Zhao from the east and want to go to the State of Chen still have to undergo routine interrogation outside Pingliang City. The young man took out

The customs clearance document stamped with King Wei's seal said to the city guards at Pingliang: "I am a close associate of King Wei. I am going to Chen State to report a message to the leader of Qi State. I hope you will be released as soon as possible."

In the past two years, no matter what the war situation was in the Song Dynasty, King Zhao held the Pingliang Chamber of Commerce every year in a leisurely manner, and overhauled the Ninghe Palace in Pingliang. Businessmen from various countries came to Zhao to meet, and news from various places naturally kept flowing. The soldiers guarding Pingliang had already heard about it.

It was said that the leader of the State of Qi personally led 20,000 soldiers of the State of Chen to return to Chen in order to aid Chen Qirong. At that time, he did not embarrass the young man and only filed his name in the file: "Messengers of the Wei State, please do not talk nonsense."

Don't talk about the flying horse entering Chen. When you arrived outside Fanjing City, you saw the carriage of Lord Xiao of Qi State had just entered the city, but you didn't chase it. Instead, you got off the horse, strode into the city, and asked the owner of Biliang Cosmetics Shop.

position, he led the horse and hurried away.

Although Jinyang Pass was lost, Chen State had nine major counties and ten major cities. No matter how brave the soldiers were, it would not be easy to conquer Fanjing City from Jinyang City. Today, the business of Biliang Cosmetics Shop is still booming.

Mo Tantan asked the waiter in the shop: "Brother, I wonder if your shopkeepers Su Yang and Su Liu are in Fanjing City?"

The boy saw a stranger coming. Although he was dressed in Chen Guo's clothes, his accent was much more refined than that of Chen Guo. So he said respectfully: "Sir, wait a moment. Shopkeeper Su Liu is checking the accounts in the back. I will invite him over now."

After a while, Su Liu came over and saw that the strange young man who came to see him was dark-skinned and dusty. He looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. Although his appearance was not good, his eyes were bright. He was the same as the rich girl who usually visited the cosmetics shop.

Very different from your noble master.

Don't talk nonsense. Seeing that the visitor was tall and handsome, about twenty years old, he should be the shopkeeper Su Liu from Fanjing, so he saluted and said: "Shopkeeper Su, I'm on the isolated island of Xuanji. Don't talk nonsense. I have been ordered by my wife to come to Fanjing."

Jing invites you all to seek refuge in the Kingdom of Chu."

Although Su Liu returned the salute, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Your wife? Didn't your young master of the Zhuge family divorce his wife after he became the first-class Duke of Wei?"

Don't want to talk nonsense, so he pulled Su Liu out of the shop and explained: "Shopkeeper Su, that was what the King of Song did to alienate Qi Wei's marriage alliance. My young master has never divorced my wife, and my wife still divorced her a few days ago.

I went to the island to live for more than half a year. Although the couple is separated, it is really because my wife is the princess of Chu and is no longer able to participate in the restoration of Qi Wei. "

Su Liu interrupted: "But when Sister Shu'er returned to Fanjing last time, she told Aunt Yan and Song personally that she was jealous of your young master and was wronged, so she angrily left the Wei Kingdom. Does this have anything to do with whether she is from the Chu Kingdom?

Princess, what does it matter?"

Mo Huantan shook his head and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Su, my wife started from scratch with you and became the richest man in the Chen country. Although she is smart and hard-working, if there is no one behind her, do you think that the richest man in a country can be achieved by a black market hawker?"

Is it easy to expect that? If my young master hadn't used the power of the entire Zhuge family to help behind the scenes, how could the Qin family of Chen State, which had been doing business for generations, disappear in a few years?

My young master's affection for his wife can be learned from the sun and the moon. What she said was just following the words of the King of Song and using the plan to make it appear that the Chu State and Qi Wei were at odds with each other. Only then could the Song State's relationship with the Chu State be completely erased.

After all, the Chu State and the Song State bordered each other. The Chu State had just unified and it was not convenient for the Chu State to compete with the Song State. Did the Chu State participate in the Four Kingdoms' attack on the Song Dynasty? The Chu State did not participate, so the Song State dared to believe that Song and Chu had close friends and boldly moved the capital.

De, be closer to the Chu Kingdom. Shopkeeper Su, do you think my wife’s pretending to be divorced has anything to do with her being a princess of the Chu Kingdom?”

Su Liu thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "It seems there is some connection. So, it was Sister Shu'er who asked Brother Mo to come to us? Did she send a message?"

Mo Luan said: "Time is in a hurry and she didn't write a letter. Anyway, you can follow me to Chu State and you will see her soon."

Su Liu was confused: "Why do you have to be so hasty?"

Mo said in vain: "The soldiers have entered the pass, and the good times of the Chen State may not last long. My wife asked me to come quickly to take you to the Chu State for refuge, close all the Chen State's businesses, bring cash, and make a comeback in the Chu State.

"

Su Liudao: "Sister Shu'er didn't even write a letter to us for such a big matter? How can I trust you?"

Mo Huantan sighed, as if he was looking at a stupid child, but he still explained patiently: "Shopkeeper Su, my wife is now the princess of Chu State. If she writes a letter, let her former cronies take away half of Chen State's money."

Gold and silver, not to mention that Chen Guo is now in the prime of money. Even if Chen Guo is in peace and prosperity, Chu State cannot do this. She asked me to come to you for the sake of your wealth and life. Without further ado, please take me with you.
