I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Shui Jing looked at his loyal and eager look, couldn't help but smiled, and said: "Just wait until the Zhong Ling imperial family is overthrown."

It is really not difficult for Shui Jing to obtain the secret technique of Jibing, all he needs to do is listen to a corner when Zhong Ling forges Jibing, but that secret technique is the foundation of Zhong Ling's royal family and state, although Shui Jing claims to be no different from Liang Shangjun, But in the end, there are still things to do and things not to do, and I feel that it is not appropriate to steal the secret technique like this.

Daluan's expedition to the west is almost determined to dominate the world. From Shui Jing's point of view, Zhong Ling can't escape this catastrophe. Not saying a word to Shi can be regarded as ensuring that this secret technique will not be lost in the world.

Shi Buyu blinked in doubt, as if he didn't understand why Zhong Ling's royal family would be overthrown, but he regarded Shui Jing as a savior, and he had always been convinced of him, since Shui Jing said so, he had no doubts, smirking Nodded, strokes said: good.

Shui Jing looked at the silk cloth wrapped with the bone sword on the case, remembered something, and said, "Do you have a spare carving knife? Can you give me one?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Buyu volunteered to write: "What does the benefactor want to engrave?"I am very good at carving, I can carve for you.

Shui Jing smiled and said: "Of course I know that you are very good at carving, but I don't know what to carve yet, so I will take the carving knife with me. When I know what to carve, I will carve it myself."

Shi Buyu nodded ignorantly, and said with a stroke: Is it used to carve this bone sword?

Shui Jing said: "Yes."

Shi didn't say a word, got up and took a rolled cloth bag from the wooden shelf beside him, spread it out, and handed it to Shui Jing from several carving knives inserted side by side. It is most suitable for carving fish bones and animal bones.

Shui Jing took the carving knife, looked at the rest, and asked in surprise, "Do you have so many carving knives?"

Shi Buyu shook his head, Shui Jing was wondering what he meant, and saw him pointing back to the wooden frame, and proudly wrote: "Not only, there are more than 40 different pairs on the shelf."

Shui Jing looked at the large and small cloth bags on the wooden shelf, raised his eyebrows and nodded: "We use different carving knives for objects of different materials and sizes, right?"

Shi Buyu nodded.

Shui Jing looked at the other wooden frames and many wooden boxes on the ground next to him, thinking that maybe not only carving knives are like this, but other tools are also like this, and he clasped his fists in admiration: "Master is really fine."

Shi Buyu probably also felt that he had done a good job in fine detail, so he was no longer humbled by Shui Jing's praise, and smiled happily.

Shui Jing wrapped the carving knife into the silk cloth wrapped with the bone sword, picked up the sword and stood up, saying: "Then I won't stay any longer, you can continue to do your work."

Shi Buyu got up after him, stroked and said: I'll see you off.

Shui Jing smiled and said, "Aren't you still in a hurry to read those books? There is no need to send them away."

Shi Buyu was a little anxious, and said with a stroke: I just went out and brought back the ladder and pruning shears.

Shui Jing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Alright, let's go."

Shi Buyu sent Shui Jing all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and stroked to let Shui Jing come back when he was free, and then reluctantly watched Shui Jing leave.

After leaving Shijia Taoyuan, Shui Jingwei continued to stay in Yaotao Town and headed south all the way.

……

When he arrived in Yudu again, the sky had just dawned, and Shui Jing didn't go directly to the palace, but went to the seaside first.

The fishing boats docked on the coast are sparse, far from being all over the coast like last time.

Shui Jing asked a random fisherman, and learned that after Xie Wuyi returned from the sea three months ago, he went out to the sea several times to ensure safety, and did not encounter any danger again, so he told the fishermen that the disaster was over. remove.

Since then, fishermen have resumed their previous work, and naturally the fishing boats will not continue to sit idle by the sea. Most fishing boats are now fishing at sea.

Shui Jing knew it well, so she left the beach and went to Yu Palace.

The main hall of the early dynasty was discussing matters, and the hall was noisy, and it was unknown what was being discussed.

Shui Jing was too lazy to listen, so he went directly to Shijiu's place, thinking as he walked: Shijiu, the national teacher, is really doing something unprecedented, and it's fine if he doesn't participate in the government affairs. Months or even years, it is really hard for the previous kings to bear him.

However, it seems that he is not in the way in the palace, there are just too many people on the left and right, and there are only two people in the palace who are in charge of cleaning, and the king probably has the right to offer a statue of a god.

Walking to Shijiu's residence, I saw him sitting by the corridor in the courtyard from a distance, scattering fish food into the pond.

In the water under the corridor, carp swarmed up under the attraction of fish food, collided with each other, and some even jumped up and down, causing countless splashes.

Standing beside Shi Jiu was a palace servant, holding a porcelain dish containing fish food, just standing there with a blank expression on his face.

Shijiu stretched out his hand to grab fish food from the plate, and he grabbed a lot of it. Shui Jing felt overwhelmed for those fish, but Shijiu didn't seem to be satisfied, so he took the porcelain plate directly from the palace man's hand. Take it over, tilt it slightly, and pour all the fish food into the water.

Shui Jing gave a "tsk", and saw Shi Jiu put the porcelain dish back into the palace man's hand, and raised his hand to signal her to back down.

After the palace servants left, Shi Jiu looked at the water surface and said casually, "Still coming out?"

Shui Jing smiled, walked out from behind the pillar, approached and said: "I said, you are not a martial arts practitioner, why are you so sharp?"

Shi Jiu didn't answer his question, he continued to look at the water and said, "You seem to be very free this year."

Shui Jing said: "How to say?"

Shi Jiu sneered: "How many times have you come here in just a few months?"

Shui Jing recalled a little bit, it was true.

The number of times he has come to this Yu Palace this year is more than the sum of the previous years. Not to mention Shijiu, even he himself finds it a little unbelievable.

Shi Jiu clapped the fish food residue in his hand, turned to him and said, "Why did you come here again this time?"

Shui Jing smiled and said, "I'll tell you one thing, and I'll ask you another thing by the way."

He raised his chin, signaled Shijiu to go to the hall, and said as he walked, "I went to Lanzhao, Ulanda was under house arrest by Tukebaan."

Shijiu didn't react too much, and nodded.

After entering the palace, Shui Jing walked to the desk as if entering his own home, and asked, "What is the meaning of your crown prince's name?"

Shi Jiu was suspicious: "Why do you ask this?"

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "If you tell me, I'll tell you."

Shi Jiu glanced at him, and said: "Behavior and deeds follow the original intention, and there is nothing outside."

Shui Jing nodded, thought for a moment, picked up the brush on the table, wrote a few sentences on the paper, put down the pen and picked up the paper, turned to Shi Jiu and said, "Use Yu Wenke to write like this?"

Shi Jiu looked at the exact two sentences of Yu Wen on the paper, and jokingly said, "Didn't you claim to be proficient in languages ​​and characters of various countries? Are you still afraid of making mistakes?"

Shui Jing ignored his teasing, put down the paper, sat down by the desk, opened the silk package in his hand on the desk, took out the carving knife and bone sword from it, drew the sword out of its sheath, lowered his head and carved words on the sword Come.

Attracted by the bone sword in his hand, Shi Jiu also sat down by the desk, took the scabbard and touched it, and said, "Bone?"

Shui Jing raised his eyes and smiled: "South Sea Shark Bone."

"Yo," Shi Jiu was a little surprised, "Is it agreed that all creatures in the world are treated equally?"

Shui Jing said casually: "I didn't kill it to make a sword, but I was careless for a while and couldn't save it. I thought that the matter has come to this point so I don't want to waste my flesh and blood, so I used it."

Shi Jiu smiled, looked at the carvings on the scabbard, and asked, "Who did it?"

Shui Jing said: "You guess?"

Shi Jiu twirled the scabbard twice in his hand, then looked at the pattern on the grid and hilt of the sword in Shui Jing's hand, and said, "Anyway, it can't be you."

Shui Jing stopped the movements of his hands, put down the sword and carving knife, and looked at him with a "willing to hear more" expression on his lips.

Shi Jiu put down the scabbard, took a sip of the wine from the gourd at his waist, and said, "Why, I'm not right? You don't have such good carving skills."

Shui Jing was noncommittal: "Then you can guess who it is."

Shi Jiu put down the gourd and said, "With such exquisite craftsmanship, all I can think of is the Qiongguo Illusionary Pavilion."

Shui Jing curled her lips into a smile: "Tsk, smart."

After that, he continued to bow his head and carve words.

Shi Jiu watched him engrave the two lines of Yu Wen implying Xie Wuyi's name on the sword one stroke at a time, and asked, "Is this sword for him?"

Shui Jing lowered her head, while carving words, she expressed her dislike for Shi Jiu's knowingly asking: "What else?"

Shi Jiu said, "Why?"

Shui Jing was a little baffled, raised his head and said, "Why?"

Shi Jiu said: "Why did you give him the sword so dutifully?"

Shui Jing blinked, barely remembering the reason, and recalled after a while, said: "Oh, his bronze sword was broken."

Shi Jiu seemed to want to laugh, put one hand on the table, put his chin on the table and said: "His sword is broken, what does it have to do with you?"

Shui Jing was taken aback by his question, then remembered why the sword broke, and said confidently, "Because I broke it."

Shi Jiu tapped his cheek lightly with his fingers, and said, "Then you pay him a sword, why do you need to engrave words?"

Shui Jing frowned strangely and said, "Why do you have so many 'why's? Isn't it the same for gift giving in the world? A girl's family wants to embroider flowers on a purse for her sweetheart?"

"Oh--"

Shijiu nodded with a long and drawn out tone, pursing his lips and looking at him with a half-smile.

Being stared at by him like this, Shui Jing felt inexplicably guilty, but he didn't know where the guilt came from, so he had to squint at him, bowed his head and continued to write.

After a while, two rows of Yu characters were carved on the sword body. Shui Jing put down the carving knife, blew on the bone chips picked off from the notching, and stroked it with his hand.

Shi Jiu still held his chin, seeing his movement, said: "It's over?"

Shui Jing raised her eyebrows: "Yes."

Shi Jiu took the sword from his hand, glanced at the two lines of Yu Wen, and commented: "It's not bad."

"Tch." Shui Jing sneered, took the sword back from Shi Jiu's hand, put it back into the sheath and wrapped it back in the silk cloth.

Seeing Shui Jing, Shi Jiu seemed to be planning to get up, and said leisurely: "Today there is a spy report, and the morning court will definitely be extended again. If you want to find him, you may have to wait."

Hearing this, Shui Jing fell back halfway up, and said in distaste: "Your king has no other abilities, but procrastination is the best of both worlds."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "What kind of shocking report is it that requires so much deliberation?"

Shi Jiu imitated Shui Jing's expression of confiding in others before, and said, "Guess?"

The transmission of intelligence reports from various countries can be counted as traveling thousands of miles a day. Shui Jing calculated the time. It has been nearly two months since the Lord Baihe opened the city and surrendered. It is unlikely that he will arrive in Yu State today. Nothing was heard along the way.

However, according to the current situation, Shui Jing felt that no matter what happened, the same source could not be bypassed, so he said, "Did Luan make another movement?"

Shi Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Tsk, smart."

Shui Jing said helplessly: "You still need to be smart? As long as Daluan doesn't move, who in the other countries will take the initiative to provoke?"

After Daluan captured Qiong and Sang, his army strength increased to more than 20. When he attacked Baihe, he only mobilized less than [-] troops to force the Lord Baihe to surrender. , Shui Jing doesn't think there is any other country that will take the initiative to jump out and hit the rock with an egg.

Shi Jiu nodded: "That makes sense, then guess what's going on?"

Shui Jing thought for a while, shook his head and teased: "I can't guess this, the advisers in the Daluan Dynasty are all very powerful, and the emperor is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if there is another article like 'Haidong I wouldn't be surprised if Qing's call for murdering the crown prince came."

"That's not true," Shi Jiu chuckled, "Da Luan asked Zhong Ling to send the twin siblings to be protons."

Shui Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head and sighed, "Da Luan really hit the point!"

If this trick is used on other countries, it may not be painful or itchy. After all, there are many imperial heirs in various countries. If you send one out to be a hostage, the big deal is to support another high-ranking one. But Zhong Ling has always been a "single seedling" , Holding Zhong Ling's heir is holding Zhong Ling's lifeline.

Moreover, Zhong Ling is different from Qiong and Sang after all. Daluan only needs to conquer Qiong and Sang by attacking the city, but Zhong Ling has the world-shaking secret technique of extreme soldiers. If Daluan wants to attack Zhong Ling, what he wants is not only the land and the population, but if you want the ultimate military secret technique, holding onto the emperor's heir is also the best choice.

Shi Jiudao: "Zhong Ling has always pursued military advantage, and has a very high attainment in this matter. Among the remaining countries, if it is a head-to-head battle, I am afraid that only Zhong Ling's extreme soldiers and Lan Zhao's horse riding skills are the most difficult to deal with. Naturally, Daluan I want to postpone the two battles with Zhong Ling and Lan Zhao, and then go to these two tough bones when the overall situation is settled."

Shui Jing nodded. After such an analysis, it is self-evident why the Yu Kingdom lasted for a long time today.

Once Zhong Ling agrees to send the son as a pledge, Daluan is likely to transfer his troops to the south. Among the two southern countries, the Southwest Qi State has natural miasma and swamps as a barrier, and the best choice for Daluan is the Yu Kingdom.

Figured this out, Shui Jing jokingly said: "As for your mediocre officials in the court, what's the use of discussing this matter for a long time? Previously, they refused to give up their immediate interests to resist the reform with all their strength. Now if Da Luan really comes over, they can still Can you come up with a good way to deal with the enemy?"

Shi Jiu and Shui Jing had the same thoughts, he didn't want to refute at all, he just smiled wryly and shook his head.

At this moment, Shui Jing vaguely heard footsteps coming from outside the door, he raised his head to look at the door of the palace, and after a while, there were three knocks on the door.

Shi Jiu glanced at the water mirror, and asked outside the door: "What's the matter?"

"National teacher, it's me." The person outside the door replied.

When Shui Jing heard this voice, he suddenly felt that there was no coincidence, and he silently mouthed Shijiu: "Xie Wuyi?"

Shi Jiu nodded, and raised his voice to the door: "Come in."
