Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 177 Qu Yuan (Part )

Qu Yuan escaped from the extremely enthusiastic people of Linzi.

She was almost kept in the Linzi Palace by the equally enthusiastic King Qi.

After all, the King of Qi is a person who appreciates elegance, likes beautiful music, and beautiful women.

So when he met Qu Yuan, he directly invited him, "Why don't you sleep on the same couch to show the friendship between Qi and Chu?"

Qu Yuan flatly rejected the invitation.

When he returned to the Chu envoy's residence, washed up and lay down on the bed, his mind couldn't help but replay his experiences during the day.

He originally thought,

From childhood to adulthood, he had been highly sought after in the State of Chu. The villagers in Leping often wrote songs for him to praise his beauty.

I didn't expect to come to Qi.
The reaction of the people of Qi was no less than that of the people of Chu.

Ugh!
Being good-looking brings a lot of pressure!

Even if you fall asleep,

Qu Yuan was still in a daze and uttered such sentiments.

He Bo came out of his dream and felt Qu Yuan's voice. He immediately slapped his thigh and echoed, "Yes!"

"Being too handsome is indeed a wonderful trouble!"

"..."

Qu Yuan, sitting on the floor in his dream, stared blankly at the person in front of him.

He wanted to ask the other person what was going on, but the first thing Qu Yuan said to the person in front of him was:
"You look so good!"

Twenty-two years.
This was the first time Qu Yuan saw someone whose appearance could rival his own.

He Bo listened to his straightforward praise and proudly put his hands on his hips, "That's right!"

“I think I’m pretty, too!”

"But you're not bad either!"

He Bo squatted in front of Qu Yuan and looked at this famous person in later generations who sacrificed himself to buy a day of vacation for the descendants of the Chinese nation.

You know, in order to express their gratitude to this sage, on the day of Qu Yuan's death, later generations would beat drums and gongs and row boats to celebrate happily!
And even ghosts and gods can't imagine,

Qu Yuan is so handsome!

No wonder the other party always compares herself to a vanilla beauty in her poems, but is alienated by her husband because of the jealousy of others...

I'm afraid these are the other party's personal experiences.

Qu Yuan also turned around and looked at He Bo.

The two sides stared at each other for a long time, admiring each other's beauty.

then,

Qu Yuan finally recovered from the beauty and asked He Bo: "Where is this place?"

"Who are you?"

He Bo introduced himself, "I am the River God of the Zibo River. Today, I saw a brilliant gentleman like you among the envoys from the State of Chu, so I couldn't help but feel happy and wanted to get to know you."

"Oh."

Facing ghosts and gods, Qu Yuan was very surprised.

But faced with such a request, Qu Yuan remained calm.

After all, the former is the first time encountered, but the latter happens frequently.

"it is good!"

He thought about it and felt that considering He Bo's appearance, it would not be a bad thing to be friendly to him, so he nodded in agreement.

He Bo clapped his hands and laughed.

"Then tell me about the State of Chu, especially the Lingnan region... I have been curious about the south for a long time."

For so many years,
In addition to extending westward to the Western Regions, He Bo's big hand also extended to the Huaihe River Basin, and through the numerous tributaries of the Huai River, it once penetrated into the Yangtze River.

then,

Another new beating.

As everyone knows,

The Yellow River, the mother river of China, is actually inferior to the Huai River and the Yangtze River in terms of water volume and tributaries.

The further south you go, the more abundant the water and heat are, and the more lush the vegetation is.

The rushing river water nourishes so many lives.

therefore,

Its rejection of He Bo became even more intense.

The force with which he beat He Bo was far beyond anything He Bo had ever felt before.

From the Yellow River to the Huai River,

From the East to the West,

He Bo often uses women to metaphorically represent the rivers that he has touched and forced.

Besides He Bo's love of joking,
It also lies in its resistance, which falls into the range of "relatively difficult but acceptable".

of course,

The Mother River is unique and cannot be compared with other gentle rivers.

After Run entered the Yangtze River Basin, He Bo, who came from a "single-parent family" and had long bullied other rivers, finally felt the father's love as high as a mountain.

Bang Bang, two punches.

He Bo was beaten so hard that he felt dizzy and dazed. He retreated into his mother's arms in one breath through the tributary of the Yangtze River that he had sneaked into.

The force was even greater than the one used by Wei Hou Ji to beat Wei Wang Ying!
After all, Wei Hou Ji was an old man whose teeth were almost falling out.

However, the Yangtze River had not been sufficiently developed during the Warring States Period. Its huge flow, rapid velocity and widespread flooding caused great suffering to the people of that time.

Give He Bo the feeling,

He was at the prime of his youth and could beat ten of them with one punch!

The only thing that could make He Bo feel relieved was that no matter how hard he tried, there would be some feedback, letting He Bo know how he would be treated there.

Unlike when entering the sea,

As soon as you enter, everything goes dark before your eyes, and then you will be forced to refresh back to your hometown.

all in all,
Now that He Bo has been beaten and hurt, he has understood a little bit and will no longer sit around and run to Changjiang to get beaten.

His goal now is to integrate the rivers under his control by connecting the mountains.

Before this, in order to quickly spread to other places, He Bo only occupied a few important watersheds and then escaped through the rivers, instead of going further and getting involved in the huge mountain ranges to which the watersheds belonged.

Maybe,

Once He Bo has the Yellow River's tributaries and their source areas under his control, he can then rush into the mother river and realize the great feat of a loving mother and a filial son, right?

When Qu Yuan heard that the ghosts and gods of Zishui just wanted to learn about the situation in the south from him, he let out a sigh of disappointment for no apparent reason.

He Bo looked at him with clear doubt.

Subsequently,

Qu Yuan accepted the invitation and told the gods and ghosts about the situation in the south, and at the same time he also revealed some of his own affairs.

He had been fond of reading since he was young. He read a lot of books and they were diverse. He never felt proud of his status and often communicated with ordinary people.

Lepingli, where he grew up, was not very prosperous, so there were many poor people living there.

When Qu Yuan was very young, because he sympathized with them, he persuaded his father to do some good deeds and became a famous wise man in the State of Chu.

Therefore, last year Qu Yuan was specially summoned by the King of Chu and was directly appointed as a county magistrate at the age of 20. This year he was promoted rapidly and was appointed as the Zuotu.

But Qu Yuan was a man with ideals, and he did not want to be satisfied with the position of Zuotu.

The environment in which he grew up,

His natural pursuit of "beauty" makes him a gentleman who is consistent in appearance and character.

He admired King Dao of Chu's ideal of reform and believed that although Wu Qi was arrogant and his methods were hasty, his original intention was very beneficial to the State of Chu.

In such an era of great contention, reform and change have become the mainstream.

Not willing to innovate?
Then go to hell!
therefore,

Qu Yuan hoped to spread his reputation and demonstrate his ability by visiting other countries as an envoy, so that he could take up a more powerful position in the State of Chu, gain the trust of the King of Chu, and then implement new reforms.

Twenty-two years old,

In later generations, it would be an age when blood is boiling.

Coupled with Qu Yuan's background, his intelligence, and his good character... he felt that he could surpass Wu Qi and realize the dream that the other party failed to achieve!
