Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Meng Qi, who wanted to eat "fish" at his own cost but failed to eat it and was pushed into the tub, stretched his limbs and leaned comfortably against the wall of the tub.

These ten days are not easy.

Fortunately, it all passed.

Although the war has not ended and the killing has not stopped, in Meng Qi's eyes, all the problems that may lead to the irreparable situation have been resolved.

The biggest trouble comes from people's ambitions for the chaos in front of them. King Wu is like this, and so are the forces in Jingzhou.

Wu Wang's soldiers and horses will meet Cheng Jingchuan head-on, and the Jianghu people gathered by Wu Wang will directly face the Jiangnan martial arts forces summoned by Fengxing Pavilion. In addition to the news brought back by Huang Biejia who was "threatened" by Meng Qi, the wealthy Jiangnan In fact, it is difficult for Qiantang County to obtain specific benefits from Ningdi and Jingzhou, except for land.

Diseases are rampant in Poyang Lake in Ning, and rebels and bandits are everywhere in Jingzhou.

King Wu was a soft-hearted guy, and when he finished hesitating, the chance of fighting had passed.

Therefore, Cheng Jingchuan had to be tough, show off his momentum, and win the first victory, and he would be able to completely hold back the troops of Wu.

Meng Qi flicked the water, closed his eyes and continued to think. As for Cheng Jingchuan's ambition, it is actually not a problem in a short time.

Not only Jingzhou, Ningdi also urgently needs to recuperate. Cheng Jingchuan wants to support the small county king, and he can't fully strengthen his strength until he solves the dissenting voices of Ningdi's dignitaries and bureaucrats.Following Qiu Si's plan before, Cheng Jingchuan could divert conflicts and obliterate opponents through military conquests, but now it is not that simple.

And without Cheng Jingchuan, the lives of the people in Ningdi will only get worse.

It depends on how well Qiu Si's apprentice and daughter can play the game of Jiangnan.

In the next three years or even ten years, it will be a situation where they play against each other, or even join hands.

Meng Qi was inexplicably more optimistic about Qiu Jing, because it was a road that no one had ever traveled before, so that the people would not be trapped in one place, and would not die because there was no way out. As long as they could leave and abandon the land, everything would be fine. Change.

"Whoa."

A bucket of warm water was poured down.

Meng Qi was stunned, and wiped his face to look.

"What are you thinking? The water is cold, and the food is also cold." Mo Li looked worried.

Although for martial arts masters, cold food and cold water are not a problem, but in the eyes of doctors, swallowing cold food and dry food is not good for the internal organs.

Yes, fighting right after eating is not good for the internal organs, lying down after eating is not good for the internal organs, eating the wrong food is still bad...

"If you don't correct it, when you return to Zhushan County, you will be nagged by the teacher non-stop."

Mr. Qin is also a human being, and when he gets old, he will always have a nagging problem.

Meng Qi touched his nose when he heard this, but actually he hoped that the ink carp would come down and wash with him.

But this bathtub is really too small.

Meng Qi looked down at the barrel with regret.

What made him regret the most was that he couldn't use the excuse of limited hot water to persuade the ink carp to take off his clothes, because... fish like cold water.

So Meng Qi lazily raised his finger and pointed at himself, and asked vexatiously: "I wonder if the doctor agrees, will it be bad for your health to have a meal while taking a bath?"

Ink Carp: "..."

Gerbils won.

Meng Qi was able to soak in the tub, waiting to be fed.

Mo Li looked at the bowl in his hand, wishing it was a bitter medicine.

But looking at the tired face between Meng Qi's brows, forget it, let's feed it, at least you can see the look of opening his mouth triumphantly and waiting for food.

"The vegetables are overcooked, and the lotus root is too old."

Meng Qi talked while eating, and tried his best to let the ink carp have another bite.

Before I knew it, it became two people sharing a bowl of food.

The city is heavily guarded, and the things that Fengxing Pavilion can send are limited, including the old lotus root from the lotus pond in this other courtyard, which is also very ordinary. After all, people in the Jianghu don't pay attention to food, as long as it is hot.

Meng Qi felt that the ink carp chopsticks were picking up Coptis chinensis, so he could chew it without changing his face, but he would always complain when he ate it.

Meng Qi noticed that the ink carp's chopsticks were getting slower and slower. Looking up, he found that the ink carp seemed to be thinking about something.

"Worried about the situation in Jiangnan?"

King Wu will not be a problem, only the chaos in Jingzhou needs to be resolved.

During these ten days, Mo Li followed Meng Qi around and saw ridiculous scenes with his own eyes.

It is true that there are no troublesome figures like Master Luo and Zheng Tu, and they are just dealing with the rebel army who are fleeing and looting, but how to minimize the harm of these locusts to Jingzhou is not as simple as killing people around with a sword.There have been bandits pretending to be the king's rebels in all parts of Jingzhou. They took advantage of the chaos, plundered and killed them, and then cut off their veils to pretend to be ordinary people. The cellars were already full of blood-stained gold and silver.

Whether it's Zheng Tu or Qiu Si, they all firmly believe that the torrent of troubled times is like a rolling wheel, unstoppable.

Whether it is an invincible master or a wise strategist, it is impossible to stop the greed of people's hearts. If anyone tries to block the torrent, he will be smashed to pieces.

"In principle, I actually agree with their ideas." Meng Qi propped himself up from the wooden barrel, stepped out so calmly, raised his hand to take off the clothes hanging on the screen, and put them on casually, the internal force evaporated the water droplets.

He was not in a hurry to tie up his clothes, and put on his shoes slowly, raising his eyebrows at the same time, without recalling the loss of the Chu Dynasty in his expression: "Anyone who stands in the whole world and tries to change something will directly touch this level." Obstacles, it’s nothing more than the mantis arm Bolun. But anyway, it’s not the first time for me, and I’m not alone every time.”

"what."

Mo Li couldn't help laughing, he just liked to see Fat Mouse complacent.

"I met a bug on the Qizhuang road. I wanted to stop the car from driving. I asked left and right, and I answered the mantis from the left and right. I know how to advance but not retreat. I overestimated my own strength and beat the giant wheel with my arms. Zhuang Gong sighed for his bravery, so he ordered the car to turn around to make way for avoiding it."

This is the original record of the mantis arm as a car.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Qi State was willing to respect a bug and spread it to the world, so warriors joined Qi State one after another.

"Zheng Tu must not have studied too much." Mo Li thought for a while, and then said, "It's better to use 'hit the stone with an egg, and circle the boil with your finger'."

The meaning is all the same, but at least the allusion does not initially involve praise of bravery.

"This is a dispute of words." Meng Qi spread his hands, pretending to be dissatisfied and said, "What the doctor should say is that there is much help for those who are right, and little help for those who are wrong, since I am never alone."

Mo Li shook his head, deliberately confronting each other: "This statement is wrong, crooked ways can gather a group of people, because we and Daoist Ning only killed a group of villains from the Holy Lotus Altar."

Meng Qi snatched the bowl, stuffed a chopstick of vegetables into Mo Li's mouth, and signaled him to shut up.

The ink carp didn't refuse either, and ate it.

When lips and tongue touched the bamboo chopsticks, the heat seemed to be transmitted along the wooden chopsticks to Meng Qi's fingertips, and he shivered slightly.

"..."

The ink carp almost missed the piece of lotus root, and raised its eyes in doubt.

This expression made Meng Qi look away in embarrassment, using his internal energy to calm the eight meridians and restrain the qi and blood that showed signs of boiling.

The ink carp was angry and funny, took back the bowls and chopsticks and walked out of the inner room.

——The gerbils can make progress, and they should not let it go.

Meng Qi paced out pretending nothing happened, when the door was knocked.

"Doctor Mo?"

Autumn scenery is outside.

It seems that while Meng Qi Moli was eating and bathing, she had already made the next step in an orderly manner.

"It seems that Pavilion Master Qiu has already made a plan for Wu." Meng Qi said with deep meaning.

As soon as Qiu Jing entered the door, she saw Meng Guoshi who "appeared suddenly". She was just stunned, not too surprised, after all, she didn't care if Meng Qi wanted to sneak into the city.

"Sorry, I accidentally thought that Cheng Jingchuan once mentioned that he suspected that the national teacher was the incarnation of a civet cat in the legend, dexterous and perceptive." Qiu Jing cupped her hands and smiled, and she even made a joke to ease the atmosphere.

However, to her surprise, the expressions of Meng Qi and Mo Li instantly became extremely weird.

First there was unbelievable astonishment, then Meng Qi seemed about to get angry, and Mo Li seemed to be holding back a laugh.

Qiu Jing: "..."

What's happening here?

"Zhuzi, talk nonsense." Meng Qi cursed vaguely.

Of course, it was impossible for him to explain why he was angry, so he could only talk about the business with a solemn expression.

"Liu Dan, General of Qi, was born in suppressing bandits and was assisted by Yunming Academy. He is good at outflanking, chasing, chasing and intercepting. After ten days of hard work, he has preliminarily controlled the Jingbei area. Jingnan only needs to send troops from Jiangxia to clear it. You can force back the fleeing rebellious pawns."

Qiu Jing was overjoyed when she heard the words, it was impossible for her to hear these things from the elders of the Hengshan School.

Meng Qi picked up the teacup and said slowly: "It's too early to rejoice, the problem lies with the government in all parts of Jingzhou. Some of them started chasing small groups of rebels, while some thought they had encountered a great opportunity and acted a There is a scene of "repelling and recovering" the rebellious generals under the command of the king of heaven, and the rebels have been taken in, and they are connecting with the civil and military officials of Jingzhou everywhere, preparing to support the son of the king of Jing to succeed him. "

Neglecting the heaven-sent Wang Nijun is the chief culprit, and all the blame is directed at the Qi Dynasty, which was not in the right position and invaded the south of the Yangtze River.

Because King Jing is dead.

After hiding the news for several days, it finally failed, and the south of the Yangtze River was shaken.

King Jing died of despair. When the dignitaries in Jingzhou packed up their carriages and even killed their wives and concubines, they prepared to flee with their private soldiers. Neither is it to open the city gate, nor is it not to open it.

This incident even became a joke and was widely circulated in Jiangxia.

A city that has not been breached is almost destroyed.

As if overnight, Jingzhou became the kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the various factions seemed to be full of mountains.

This cannot be allowed to go unchecked. Once these forces become popular, the chaos in Jingzhou will continue, and it will not stop for three to five years.

At the critical moment, the people from Yunming Academy played a role.

Although Fengxing Pavilion has all kinds of abilities and even touches the officialdom, the main place where it can play a role is the small officials, the military officers.Qiu Si had been in Ningdi for more than ten years before he managed a huge force. However, the Fengxing Pavilion under Qiu Jing's management has a well-connected news network and contacts, but it can't shake the influence of the civil service system.

——The money will be accepted, but nothing will be done.

——Let the servants make money and deny it afterwards.

In the eyes of merchants and common people in Jiangnan, tax collectors are more reputable than county magistrates.

The only ones who can affect the civil service system are scholars.

No matter if it is pure honesty or simply wanting to save face, I don't want to be pointed at by the Jiangnan literary world and scolded.

Of course, I am used to scolding, and when there are more people scolded, it will be painless, but isn't it just the beginning?Yunming Academy came prepared again.

"Don't miss this opportunity. If you don't miss it, it's up to Pavilion Master Qiu and General Cheng."

"The national teacher means..."

Qiu Jing felt that he had grasped something vaguely.

"Join forces with the King of Wu to carve up Jingzhou, redraw the boundaries of the jurisdiction, and withdraw all the troops."

Wu Wang and Ning Wang got the land and population, and the Qi Dynasty got money, rice and grain.

Qiu Jing stood up in shock.

Meng Qi sarcastically said: "Compared with the Qi Dynasty, Jiangnan Shilin is more willing to accept the orthodoxy of the Chu Dynasty."

If you want everyone to put down their weapons and sit down and talk about things, they must first have enough benefits.

After talking, turn around and beat the guy who is not ambitious enough to be on the table to pieces.

"King Wu wants to expand the land, but he lacks courage. He controls the most affluent area in Yangzhou, and the rest belongs to King Ning. If it takes a lot of effort, it will be useless. Jingzhou has been a treasure land of outstanding people since ancient times. "

But King Wu couldn't swallow Jingzhou.

Cheng Jingchuan couldn't swallow it either.

If King Xiao Ning could change to another place as the county, the collapsed old city walls would not need to be repaired, and the power of the aristocratic nobles in Ning was weakened, and after the past, they would fight against the Jingzhou gentry for the new county.

"Wars and wars, in the final analysis, are all benefits. If you can put in a little effort, you can get a huge reward. Are you willing to touch a hard rock or a soft persimmon?"

Meng Qi raised the teacup to Qiu Jing and spoke slowly.

The scattered forces in Jingzhou are just that soft persimmon.

After Meng Qi finished speaking, he gave a look to Mo Li next to him, indicating that there is no need to use "Tao" for more help, and it can be beneficial.

Gentlemen are not different, they are good at things.
