Don't steal a man from me

When entering the city, it was already evening, and the Chinese lights in the city were just lit up. Wang Ji was dumbfounded by the prosperity of the market. There was an endless stream of merchants, and there were rows of shops in the neighborhood. Got it.

After applying for the identity card, Wang Ji found an inn to stay overnight, and continued westward the next day.

During this journey, he usually only heard others say that the people of Chu were the richest people in the world. This time, Wang Ji deeply realized what it means to be "abundant in materials and have the image of swallowing the world".

Nine hundred miles away from the fertile fields of Yancheng, Xiangting Lake is rich in rare treasures. Standing on the south bank of the Luohe River, he looked at the Luochuan Plain where the villages are connected to the villages and the chickens, dogs, barking, and cooking smoke. flashed in front of my eyes.Although Wang Ji had never seen the new army of Chu State, the strength of the army is self-evident just looking at the solid national strength of Chu State.

He suddenly felt great fear. Although Xi State is a great country in the east, compared with Chu at this moment, it seems poor and petty. Maybe the military strength of the two countries is equal, but in terms of national strength, Xi State is probably invincible. The title of "Overlord" now makes Wang Ji look like a slap from the king of Chu, and Wang Ji can still feel the burning pain on his face.

Wang Ji no longer had the courage to enter Yancheng, where gold and silver were swallowed, so he stayed in a small inn outside the city.

"Is this the first time for the guest officer to enter Chu?" the proprietress of the inn asked with a soft Chu tone.

"Thank you, shop owner." Wang Ji arched his hands and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's really time for the guest officer to come. My Princess Chu Fengchu married the Mo country. My king ordered the whole country to be exempted from tax for one year to celebrate the princess. It is the first time for the guest officer to come to Chu for business. Our inn will not charge you for drinks. "The proprietress of the inn laughed.

"Princess Fengchu? Married to the Mo Kingdom?" Wang Ji took a sip of Chu wine, and the mouthfeel was soft and delicate, which was amazingly praised.

"That's right, isn't this an ally with the country of Mexico? My king also said that the people often go to the country of Mexico to have fun when they are not farming. I heard that the linen of the country of Mexico is very good, and they can be bought to make wine flags." The proprietress of the inn said with a smile.

Wang Ji was stunned. These days, the kings of various countries are focusing on the matter of overthrowing their country and expanding their borders, ignoring this southern power that is isolated by other countries.

So, during this time.What did the young king of Chu do?

"Was Xiangguo escorting Princess Fengchu to get married?" Wang Ji asked casually.

"Xiangguo? Does the guest officer mean Su Jue? He has been deposed long ago, and even his fief has been taken back." The proprietress of the inn cautiously approached and said in a low voice, "The notice has been posted for several days."

"What?" Wang Ji slapped the table and stood up, looking at the proprietress in disbelief.

The proprietress was taken aback by his move, she tugged at his sleeve, and said closer, "Keep your voice down, my king expressly forbids the citizens to talk about anything about Xiangguo."

Wang Ji frowned, and he asked in a low voice, "Does the shopkeeper know where Mr. Su is now?"

"I don't know." The proprietress shook her head.

Wang Ji frowned deeply, the turmoil in his heart made him dare not stay, and immediately set off to return to Xiguo.

After hearing this, Mei Hao let out a depressed breath. Everything that Su Jue did when he was Prime Minister Chu brought great shocks to the countries of the Central Plains. How could such a person disappear without even a trace?

Su Jue's disappearance made Mei Ziyu feel a great sense of crisis. He looked up out of the window and murmured, "Su Jue, Chu Yunqi, what do you want to do?"

Wang Ji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed his saliva with lingering fear, and asked, "What are we going to do?"

"The whole country is carrying out the second reform. Only a strong country can be invincible. I will go to meet my king immediately." Mei Hao calmed down and said after a pause.

The school yard outside Quyang North City.

Jing Ming clad his fists in salute to King Qing, wearing black iron armor and a red-tasseled helmet, saying: "If the northern border is uneasy, I will never return. My king, please rest assured, I will die for Qing's sake!"

Qing Wang sat lazily on the blanket prepared by Hui Yu with a beautiful woman in his arms, nodded without raising his head and said: "The widow is waiting for the general to return from victory in Quyang."

The heavy and solemn drum beats on Jingming's heart, and also on the hearts of fifty thousand soldiers standing on the school field. After many years, it should be accompanied by wild geese in the Gobi, sleeping with Hu Jia and Qiang flute, holding the hand of Yiren, Say treasure.

Jingming saluted King Qing again, turned around neatly, got on his horse, drew his sword and pointed to the sky, and said, "Let's go!"

The sound of the drums gradually increased, and the [-] soldiers picked up their shields uniformly, and with a "hi", they turned their backs to Quyang City and walked towards the north step by step.

Feng Qing leaned out of the carriage, and said to Jing Ming who was riding on the horse: "I want to ride a horse."

Jing Ming frowned, and he said: "The journey is long, sir, riding a horse is too much for me."

"Tsk..." Feng Qing raised her eyebrows, glanced at him, and said, "You look like an old lady."

"I..." Jing Ming was stunned on the horse. His life was too serious and heavy, and his whole person seemed too serious. His way of getting along with people always had an inexplicable sense of ritual. So the whole army respects him, but they don't get close to him.This was the first time someone had buried him in such a chic and capricious way, and Jing Ming didn't know what to say in response to Feng Qing for a while.

Feng Qing was amused by his appearance, he rested his elbow on the small open window on the side of the carriage, slightly curled his thin lips, looked up at Jing Ming with a slight smile, and said, "I'm going to ride a horse."

The sun just shone on Feng Qing's fair face, and the bright phoenix pupils seemed to reflect the rippling broken light like a whole star, and the long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under the eyelids. The neck is exposed from the vermilion dress, the thin lips are slightly parted, the eyes are moving, and the expression is looking forward.

Jing Ming gasped for breath, staring at him couldn't help but lost his mind, Feng Qing had a panoramic view of his subtle expression, he gave a "tsk", laughed and cursed "fool", and then lowered the curtain of the carriage window.

After a month of marching, the army finally arrived at Dicheng, the northernmost city in Qingguo.

A city of three miles and a country of seven miles, Dicheng stands alone on the sparse grassland like a weather-beaten old man.

Five hundred miles to the east of Dicheng lies a large mountain, which is called Yanzhi Mountain by Qing people, and Nasu Mountain by Rongdi tribe. , to the west of the mountain is a desert that is half steppe and half desert, where people either graze or plant some year-round dry crops.

Like a barrier, Nasu Mountain blocked the main force of the army from attacking the Rongdi, so the Rongdi people regarded it as a mountain of gods.

The tactics and strategies of the Rongdi clan’s sneak attack on the country have formed a system under hundreds of years of conflict: in autumn and winter, when the vegetation withers, the Rongdi king temporarily relocated the main force to the north of Nasu Mountain, and then dispatched troops to attack the country. Dis soldiers bypassed Nasu Mountain and attacked from the Gobi Desert in the north to the north. After burning and killing enough cattle and sheep, they retreated back to the Gobi Desert full of yellow sand.

Qingguo's soldiers all lived in the Central Plains, and they were helpless against the man-eating monster of the Gobi Desert. There was once a Qingjun who ordered border guards to force their way into the northern Gobi Desert. Although he knew Rong Di's battle strategy, he didn't have the slightest ability to deal with it.

Jingming changed into black and heavy Chinese clothes, and stood solemnly on the watchtower of the city wall, looking at the endless grassland to the north. The scouts placed in the Rongdi tribe came to report, and the king of Rongdi learned that the rhinoceros led an army to the north. After the border, they called the leaders of the various tribes to discuss countermeasures. They heard that the leaders of the tribes meant to have a direct confrontation with Jingming.

This is what Jing Ming is worried about. For a long time, the enemies he has faced are soldiers from various countries in the Central Plains, and they are the Central Plains people who have the same civilization as them. Jing Ming knows very little about the Rongdi people. What shocked him was the Rongdi people. The speed at which they learned the news was no less than that of any powerful country in the Central Plains, and their reaction speed was also amazing.Jing Ming originally wanted to hold back his troops in Dicheng first, and then dispatched troops after he had figured out the temperament of the Rongdi people. He never thought that the Rongdi people were addicted to war like crazy, and couldn't wait to compete with him.

Do not fight unprepared wars.If he could not know himself and the enemy, Jing Ming would not rush to send troops, but this time, the initiative of the war was not in his hands.

"Why worry?" Feng Qing changed into a vermilion dress and came over to ask.

"The scouts have come to report that King Rongdi has assembled fifty thousand soldiers to confront our army head-on. The army has already set off and will march to the north of me in less than five days." Jing Ming sighed inaudibly.

Feng Qing nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he knew, then he turned his head and asked, "Who is the general?"

After being asked by him, Jing Ming patted his head and said: "Shame, shame! Jingming has been on the battlefield for many years, but because Rong Di temporarily disrupted the battle plan, he was so panic-stricken that he forgot to ask the general who guarded the border about Huhanlunye. Fighting style! Ashamed, ashamed!"

Feng Qing smiled, Jingming is too rigid, he likes to plan everything before doing it, even his style of leading troops is the same, although it is tight and flawless, but he can't stand not playing cards according to common sense The general teased a little.

Jing Ming raised his sleeves and saluted Feng Qing: "Thank you for your reminder, sir." After speaking, he hurriedly got off the archery building and walked towards the barracks.

Feng Qing looked at the tall and straight back of the man, with the corners of her lips slightly curled up, she smiled and shook her head, "You serious fool."

Rongdi people have lived on the vast grasslands for generations. They eat beef and mutton as their staple food, and cattle, sheep and livestock eat aquatic plants, so they have lived for generations.

The grassland is flat and vast, without the constraints of the complicated etiquette system of the Central Plains. All the Rong and Di men are bold, heroic, and warlike men, and all the Rong and Di women are enthusiastic, vigorous and capable.The men rode their horses on the vast grassland, washed their long hair "imprisoned" for a winter with the warm water of the Yuwu River, rode their horses to pursue passionate girls, and sang pastoral songs to praise their Allah Sun.
