Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Qin Juan hopes that Zhao Huaizhi and Gu Yue are fine, and don't get hurt if they are accidentally captured by the people in Gu King's Palace...

It took half an hour to walk through the mountains and forests. At this time, he fell into a maze. The reason why he was sure that this was a maze was because he had heard Xiao Quer say that if he saw something like four elephants, or Those that can constitute gossip elements are likely to have entered the maze set up by others.

He guessed that this is the labyrinth, but he had already entered when he realized...

He was trapped by the maze for half a day, until several warriors arrived here.

The warriors stood far away, they asked him how he got in, and if he was a Gu master who came to the banquet from out of town.

Qin Juan looked at them and nodded, he thought he should sneak into Gu King Hall first, no matter what method he used.

"Do you have an invitation from the elder?" the warrior asked him again.

Where did the invitation come from? It was originally mixed in.

"Yes, but I lost my luggage, and I met robbers on the road."

Qin Juan lowered his head slightly and said that he would blush when he told a lie, and if he looked at them, he would definitely be screwed.

The samurai stared at him for a long time, but still sent someone to lead him out of the maze.

Qin Juan also felt strange, he could clearly see why they couldn't go to the place where they were.

Until a samurai came over and heard something, a road appeared in the center of the gossip formation, and the previous gossip formation became a chessboard for the township and enterprise.

And the road he walked was "Chu River".

He watched it carefully, but he couldn't fully remember what the warriors heard.

Even the samurai told him in an indifferent voice: "Here, any wrong step can kill you."

I don't know if the samurai did it on purpose...

After walking out of the maze, Seventh Brother was left here. Qin Juan saw that there were a lot of horses parked outside, and guessed that this place was for watching horses, so he left Seventh Brother here.

Qin Juan thought he could get away with it, but he didn't know that the warriors took him into a large hall, and there were about a dozen people in the hall. After he entered, these people looked at him.

Judging from the clothes and expressions, Qin Juan didn't think these people were the elders that the warriors called, perhaps these people were "Gu masters" without invitations just like him.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, the elders will come here before Haishi, please eat first." The warrior said to them.

Qin Juan didn't know if the current Gu King Hall was controlled by these elders and warriors. Since they were gathered here and the elders were not allowed to see them, did they have other ideas?

The worst possibility is that these people want to get rid of this part of the Gu masters, of course it is not possible.

The lunch was very sumptuous, but Qin Juan sat there silently and did not listen

A samurai walked towards him and asked in an indifferent voice, "Is the food not to your liking?"

"No." Qin Juan replied, "I'm just surprised that I have never eaten such a good meal before."

"Then please use it."

Qin Juan picked up a piece of fruit and glanced at him: "I'm used to eating fruit first."

He picked up the fruit and took a bite before the warrior left.After the samurai left, he immediately spit out the pulp.

Why do samurai have to watch them eat? Is there really a problem with the food?

Qin Juan was always paying attention to the surrounding situation. After a long time, no one fell down after eating or was not feeling well.

Could it be that he has become a soldier?

People came in one after another to remove the empty plates, and some servants brought tea.

From noon until evening, they all sat quietly in the hall waiting for the elder to arrive.

The chattering voices kept coming and going, but Qin Juan remained silent, why didn't he see Zhao Huaizhi and Gu Yue here?

He knew that none of the samurai guarding outside were his opponents, but he didn't want to fight them.Force cannot solve the problem, besides, he has to stay and inquire about Taohua's whereabouts.

If the listening is too strong, it will be more troublesome to go further.

Until the time of Hai was approaching, the elders never showed up

The rumored banquet was held at this time, it was almost midnight, and many Gu masters in the palace were already impatient.

"When is the banquet?"

"Where are the elders?"

The warriors remained indifferent: "The elders have their own orders."

Gu masters are dissatisfied after waiting for such an answer.

It's not that the Gu Masters couldn't hold their breath, but it was too long to wait from daytime to dark.

"Among us, there are those who came here from a thousand miles away. If we miss this Gu King Palace banquet, it will be a waste of traveling for a few days..."

"Yeah, I heard the news half a month ago. I can't even see the elders. What's the point of my coming here?" Speaking of which, they have been to Gu King Hall and met the elders, at least this will make them feel that their trip was worthwhile.

The warrior frowned slightly: "Someone has already reported to the elder, please wait a moment."

The samurai looked impatient, or anxious, but it seemed that they were not only anxious about whether the elders would come or not.

After a while someone came, and the warriors gathered together to talk, not knowing what was going on, and the expressions on their faces were indescribable.

A quarter of an hour later, the samurai came over and said to them, "Everyone, come with us."

The real Gu King Palace is at the highest point of Dugu Mountain.

Surrounded by clouds and smoke, it looks like the Guanghan Palace, and the heights are not very cold.

It's not called the Palace of the Gu King, the Gu masters call it the Palace of the King.

The more you go up, the colder it gets. When Qin Juan raised his head, he could see the full moon hanging high in the sky.

Suddenly I realized that today is the full moon, isn't that the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I don't know where Zhao Huaizhi is looking at this full moon...

The moment he entered the palace, Qin Juan noticed the Gu master in purple, the warrior in black, and the elder in red.

In such a solemn and grand occasion, it doesn't really matter whether there are these low-level Gu masters, maybe it's just to show the king's gift.

Most of the people who followed Qin Juan saw such a scene for the first time.

They became cautious, did not dare to look up, and even became respectful.

Of course, there are also those who have the same complexion as Qin Juan, and there will be one or two people who are looking around and sizing up the people in the palace.

Qin Juan suddenly looked at the place in the middle, the man dressed in crimson purple and full of silver ornaments

Who is not Peach Blossom...

Today's peach blossoms are so different, under the decoration of luxurious robes, such peach blossoms made him think of Zhao Huaizhi for a moment, but the temperament of these two people is so different.

When he came back to his senses, he thought that if Peach Blossom was here, where would Zhao Huaizhi and Gu Yue be?

Qin Juan glanced around subconsciously, and from the corner of his eye subconsciously searched whether Zhao Huaizhi and Gu Yue entered here in disguise.

There were too many people, and the hall was not quiet. Qin Juan did not find a familiar figure, so he took a deep breath and followed the warrior.

The samurai stood at the inner side of the hall, pricking up his ears to listen to what those people were saying.

Whether to support the new king, or to choose the successor identified by the elders.

And these Gu masters who don't have invitations will naturally support those whom the elders recognize.

Qin Juan doesn't know why Taohua made such a choice, must he become the king of Gu King Palace?He doesn't understand peach blossoms.

Once upon a time, this man told him that his favorite life is to cook a few small dishes and drink a little wine when he has nothing to do, and get together with the people he cherishes every day...

Do what you like to do, and occasionally ride a horse to go outside.

That's fine...

Now, this leisurely and gentle man voluntarily got involved in the disputes in Gu King Palace.

He can't control so much, as long as he sees that Taohua is safe and sound.

However, what happened later simply overturned his imagination.

The successor supported by the elders should be Taohua's younger brother, who should be only thirteen or fourteen years old. It's easy to control a boy at this age, but it's not easy to control.

It's just that from the moment the child appeared, his eyes towards Taohua were full of hostility.

Those who choose to support Taohua should be the old ministers of Taohua's grandmother. Their intention to support Taohua may be that they support whoever Wang Yin is in, or they want to use Taohua to bring down the elders.

As midnight approached, a man stood in the hall and shouted, and the surroundings became quiet.

The man announced with a blank expression that he would now start casting lots, and put the bamboo stick in his hand inside the silverware in the center of the hall.

The silverware wrapped in purple silk belonged to the new king, and the silverware wrapped in red silk belonged to the elder.

It's just that the Gu masters standing with Qin Juan waited for a long time but still couldn't get his bamboo sticks, and then looked up and saw a warrior holding a large handful of bamboo sticks and throwing them into the silverware wrapped in red silk.

At this time, Qin Juan also figured out what was going on... Dare to invite more Gu Masters to come in and vote for them.

The Gu masters who stood together didn't say anything, they seemed to accept it by default, for them to support anyone is the same, they all live far away from here.

They just want the Palace of the King to exist, just like they have always believed that the Palace of the King will bring them shelter for a hundred years.

After a stick of incense, the result of counting lots came out, and the answer was obvious, the bamboo sticks supporting the elder's side far overwhelmed the new king's side.

Behind Taohua, someone stood up immediately: "Since the king passed away, the elders have been in charge of the affairs of the king's palace for many years. The people in the palace and the elders are familiar with the elders, and naturally they tend to be elders. The new king has just returned to his homeland. Many people are not familiar with him. Less, so let’s stick to the original words, this kind of comparison is not fair. Wang Dianzu system, whoever has the king’s seal, obeys whoever it is.”

After he finished speaking, the hall began to be noisy.

On the side of the elders, someone immediately said, "I'm still the same as before. Whether the king's seal is true or not is in your hands. Only you know. If you want others to believe it, you can take out the king's seal."

"Then the next best thing is to cast a lottery. But the result of the lottery has already come out."

Their dispute is like being caught in an endless loop.
