[Comprehensive Sword Three] Peach and plum are all over the world

"Easy to attack but not easy to defend." Gongsun Su stepped forward, passed the crowd, and pointed to the Lu State Road on the map in front of Xuanji, "There was Jiang Gong in Lu land in ancient times, and now there is Lu Zhuangzhu. Both of them are good ministers. A good name comes first. The Chu State is strong and powerful, but it is despised by the princes of the Central Plains, and its reputation is hard to beat. The capture of Lu was due to the alliance in Weibei. Although the land of Lu has been conquered, the people of the world will probably not accept it." Passing through the land of Lu, Gongsun Su pointed to other countries around him and said, "Confucianism has a saying, if the name is not right, the words are not right, and if the words are not right, things will not be accomplished. It has deterred the country, but it has also attracted foreign enemies."

"Go on." Xuanji stood beside her with a blank expression.

"I'm afraid other princes and countries will use this name to attack them." Gongsun Su's voice was very soft, but it weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, "Don't talk about Ludi, the capital city may not escape. .”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Some people dared to look at Xuanji, but they couldn't get the slightest wink. Xuanji's pupils were very deep, and only the lights were dancing in them.

"According to the master, what should we do?"

"Wolf is a traitor." Gongsun Su crossed several countries on the map, "Divide and rule, check each other. Why don't you show your weakness and distribute the land of Lu to other vassal states equally."

"Bold Gongsun Su." Someone was the first bird, and was the first to scold Gongsun Su, "The land that the soldiers exchanged with their lives was given to others just based on your one-sided words. Wouldn't our country of Chu become the laughing stock of the world. "

Gongsun Su smiled lightly, "Give up the mountains and rivers with full sincerity."

"What's the general's opinion?" Xuanji ignored the man's yelling, and instead asked Wang Qi who had been silent from the beginning.

"Your Majesty's foundation is still shallow, and you can only win but not lose in war." Wang Qi only gave this answer. He is a soldier, and he only thinks about things in military terms. He only knows that if an undefeated army really loses, the soldiers Their lives will all be ruined, and the people in the palace cannot tolerate this army.

"That's it for tonight. Go back and rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow." After hearing what Wang Qi said, Xuanji had made up her mind, and she didn't express her position immediately, but let everyone go back first.

"Sir, please stop." Xuanji's voice came from behind Gongsun Su, "I just want to talk to you sir."

"What does Your Majesty want to talk about?" Gongsun Su found a seat and sat down, knelt there and looked at Xuanji.

"Talk in detail." Xuanji didn't mention Gongsun Su's rudeness, "Dare to ask, sir, how to divide and conquer and check each other?"

He lowered his head and straightened his robe, with an idle attitude on his face, "Your Majesty knows what's in your mind, why bother to ask questions knowingly, before I said those words, Your Majesty probably had a plan long ago, I just expressed it for His Majesty."

"It seems that I have underestimated Mr. Gu." Xuanji also found a seat and sat down, "Gu is a little curious. There are countless people who have been invited to work with such a capable person like Mr. Why did Mr. Gu take a fancy to Gu?"

"Does Your Majesty want to listen to the truth or lies?" Gongsun Su asked her.

"What's the difference?"

"It's natural to tell a good lie." Gongsun Su chuckled, "I have traveled around the world for many years, and looking at the situation in the world, the four countries are nothing but other people's pockets, and they are easily available. Only Qi State can compete in the Central Plains. The King and Young Master Wan are not the ones who can bring peace to the world, so I gave up."

"When I saw the king later, I knew that my destiny had come." Gongsun Su stood up from his seat and knelt in front of Xuanji, "May I see the king come to the world in my lifetime."

Xuanji was unmoved, "What about the truth?"

"It's already been said." Gongsun Su said.

"Someone told Gu that seven parts of a sentence are true and three parts are false, so it is a perfect lie." Xuanji looked at Gongsun Su who was kneeling on the ground and said, "What do you think, Mr. Gongsun?"

"Great goodness."

Xuanji stopped talking, got up and left, Gongsun Su knelt behind her, and said loudly, "Send off my king."

The stars are turning, the destiny has returned, and I should serve my lord.

She doesn't believe in fate, she only believes in herself, and with the sword in her hand, if she says she will unify the world, she will do it, absolutely not, Xuanji stretched out her hand to bow to the moonlight, thinking of Chu Ruo in the palace, Ruo must not be disappointed.

**

The lights are brilliant, flickering, the moonlight comes from the sky, pouring out the room with brilliance, and the curling cigarettes are lingering, unable to hold back a trace of nostalgia.

The palace maid came to Chu Ruo holding ginseng tea, and said cautiously, "Mr. Chu, it's time for you to rest."

"I heard that the Phoenix Terrace is about to be built." Chu Ruo asked the maid. He didn't have any information, and he didn't know many things until very late.

"The work will be finished in a few days." The maid handed the ginseng tea to Chu Ruo, talking about the process, "Phoenix Terrace was originally a palace, the King ordered the construction of the Phoenix Terrace, and to speed up the speed, Dr. The palace has been rebuilt into the Phoenix Terrace. Counting the days, it should be completed before the king returns."

"Really." Chu Ruo took a few sips of ginseng tea, touched the ice in the jade pot and said, "Then I have to speed up."

"Mr. Chu, do you want to congratulate the king?" the maid asked while looking at the jade pot on the table.

"Privately." Chu Ruo dialed a few voices. The status of the luthier is low, and it is difficult to enter the hall of elegance. Even the best battle music has no chance. This piece can only be played here for her when Xuanji comes back.

"It's a pity that the music is so shocking." Chu Ruo sighed, and covered the piano with both hands, and the imposing piano sound flowed out from his hands.

**

"I don't see you." Gong Ziyu kicked over the copybook, "He Zhaopo is really determined to be Miji's running dog."

"My lord." The eunuch came forward to clean up the hem of his clothes, "Calm your anger."

"How to calm down?" Gong Ziyu kicked the eunuch over, "She killed her mother and forced her father to death. Can't those people who committed serious crimes see it?"

"My lord, please keep your voice down." The eunuch lay on the ground, not daring to answer a word. Everyone knew that the king had won the battle and brought glory to Chu, and he would be back in a few days.

"That seat was originally mine." With a flicker of lights, Gong Ziyu's face became hideous in an instant, "But..." She killed the palace and forced her father to retire from the seat. She supervised the country and sent heavy troops to guard the palace to prevent others from entering the palace, so that he didn't even have a chance to pass on the news.Qu and Jing's two families originally agreed to elect him as king, but after the news of the great victory came from the front line, there was no further movement. Everyone acquiesced to this fact and admitted Xuanji.

In this troubled world, only the strong are respected.Gong Ziyu fell to the ground, he had no more chances, when Xuanji returned to the palace, all the dust settled, and it became a fact that the coffin lid was conclusive, Zhaopo would let Xuanji kill him.He stared blankly at the ground, as if resigned to his fate.

In the long night, there should be silence, but at this moment, there is the sound of the piano, which is like a broken bamboo, disturbing the situation.

"Who is playing the piano in the palace?" Gong Ziyu was furious.

"It's Lord Chu." The eunuch trembled, "The musician brought into the palace by the king."

"Musician?" Gong Ziyu grinned grimly, "A lowly musician, dare to live in the palace." He went to fetch the sword from the shelf, turned around and was about to leave.

"Young master." The eunuch hugged Gong Ziyu's thigh, "You have to think twice." No one in the palace knew that the king regarded Chu Jun as a treasure.

"Go away." Getting rid of the things in the way, Gong Ziyu held the sword to find the source of the piano sound.

**

At the end of the song, Chu Ruo coughed again and again, and the maid who was waiting at the side hurriedly handed over the soup that had been prepared earlier.

There is also sword energy.Chu Ruo thought while drinking the medicine, he could feel the sword energy, mobilizing this sword energy made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"The song you play is really nice." The maid couldn't help but said, "I seem to have seen the king go out to fight."

"I don't know if she likes it or not." Chu Ruo put down the medicine with a helpless expression, "The older you are, the more you won't listen to me."

"Your Majesty will definitely like it." The maid smiled with her eyebrows crooked, and two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.She put the medicine back on the plate and was about to take it down when she heard a loud noise.

"My lord, you can't go in."

In the dark night, someone came in with a bloody long sword.

The palace maid looked at the person who was walking towards her, and knocked over the plate in a daze, "My lord, you can't..."

She didn't speak, the sword was already in her belly, she could only fall down in pain, and tried to grab Gong Ziyu's clothes, "Mr. Chu, go quickly."

"Your Excellency is Gong Ziyu." Chu Ruo's eyes were dull, he couldn't find where the maid was, so he could only raise his head and look straight ahead.

"It's quite colorful." Gong Ziyu pulled out his long sword and sneered, "It's a pity that he is a blind man, a blind teacher, a plaything for people to play with."

"If you only came here for this reason, the young master wouldn't waste a lot of trouble." Chu Ruo's expression remained unchanged, and his hands were still on the strings.Indeed, most luthiers in this era were blind.

"I heard that Mi Ji is very infatuated with you." Gong Ziyu's eyes were full of madness, and he wanted to give her pain before he died. Taste it." As he spoke, he raised his long sword and was about to drop it.

"My lord knows the art of war." Chu Ruo twirled a string of the zither, and did not move. "underestimate the enemy."

**

A murderous aura appeared, and Gong Ziyu was stunned in place. He looked at Chu Ruo who was sitting on the seat in surprise, and saw that the other party slowly drew out his long sword. His hair was trembling, Gong Ziyu tried his best, he raised his sword and was about to chop down, he didn't want to meet the sword head-on, during the exchange, he just felt that he had nowhere to focus his strength, and he couldn't find a place to vent.With four or two strokes of strength, Chu Ruo easily lifted Gong Ziyu's long sword, and in an instant, the identities of the two parties were exchanged.

"It's impossible to underestimate the enemy." Chu Ruo's sword rested on Gong Ziyu's neck, and his expression was cold. He just lost his internal strength, not all his martial arts. Day after day, year after year, his moves cannot disappear. To deal with ordinary people, he More than enough.

Gong Ziyu looked at the long sword that was thrown to the ground, trying to provoke Chu Ruo, "Kill me if you have the ability."

Chu Ruo withdrew his long sword, his face was pale, he clenched his fist and coughed lightly, "It's getting late, young master, please go back."

While speaking, a large number of guards had arrived, and the chief guard clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Chu." Behind him was a guard holding a dagger.

"It's late at night and the road is far away. Please let the chief guard take you back to the palace." Chu Ruo sat down, her hands hidden in her sleeves were shaking.

"No." The chief guard walked up to Gong Ziyu and asked him to go out, "Young master, please."

Gong Ziyu didn't speak, he stood there and looked at Chu Ruo for a while, with a look of unwillingness.

When Chu Ruozheng breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the panicked voice of the chief guard, "Young master, no."

The sword was unsheathed, and the sound of piercing through the air rang in Chu Ruo's ears. He felt the knife piercing his flesh, and a little warmth splashed on his face. He didn't know when there was someone more in his arms.

"Wan?" Chu Ruo remembered her name, Wan's voice was always innocent and lively, full of vitality.

"Mr. Chu..." She leaned against Chu Ruo's arms with satisfaction, "It's great that you're fine."

"Take it down." The chief guard suppressed Gong Ziyu, and tied Gong Ziyu's hands.

"It's your fate." Gong Ziyu knelt on the ground, sneering again and again.

The chief guard hurriedly ordered Gong Ziyu to be taken down. He picked up the blood-stained saber, which belonged to him, but was murdered by Gong Ziyu. Fortunately, only a court lady died.He hesitated and walked up to Chu Ruo, "Mr. Chu, are you okay?"

Chu Ruo raised his head slowly, his face was stained with blood, his eyelids were gradually sinking, he hugged the maid, and finally lost his center of gravity and passed out on the ground.

"Mr. Chu, come quickly."

**

The return of the army was just what everyone expected. The people along the road cheered the newly enthroned monarch. They rushed forward with food, stuffed it with the soldiers, and dispersed in a crowd. They formed a team and sang to send the army away.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Gongsun Su took the food and said to Xuanji, "I heard that the king sent people to build the Phoenix Terrace."

"Gu hates asking questions when you know what you know." Xuanji didn't even look at Gongsun Su, but looked ahead, looking forward to the reunion with Chu Ruo.

"It's rare for a bosom friend to say it in ancient times. I know what your majesty wants, so your majesty should be happy." Gongsun Su said with a smile. Of course he knew Xuanji's plan. Recruit talents from all over the world to use for me.

"Gather all the talents in the world and use them for Gu." After Xuanji finished speaking, she glanced at Gongsun Su, "Gu has finished talking, let's go down."

So Gongsun Su got into Wang Qi's carriage again.

"I don't understand." Wang Qi asked the regular customer, "Are you determined to annoy the King?"

"Don't you think it's funny that the king is angry and can't get angry." Gongsun Su didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

"You are looking for your own death." Wang Qi warned Gongsun Su, "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."

A companion is like a tiger, Gongsunsu looks at Xuanji, his eyes become clearer, his Gongsunsu has to do more than that, he also has to assist this tiger to sweep the world.

As he approached the city gate, he saw hundreds of officials gathered under the city. The leader had all white hair and a solemn expression. Xuanji met his eyes, and both sides got what they wanted from each other's eyes.

"Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace."

"Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace." Following Zhao Po's voice, everyone knelt down to welcome the monarch.

"Doctor Zhao, please get up quickly." Xuanji got off the car and helped Zhao Po herself, looked at him carefully, and seemed to have feelings, "Doctor Zhao is tired."

"Being able to serve the king, the old minister will not hesitate." Zhao Po has aged a lot during this time, and he is still full of energy, with an unyielding energy. He glanced behind Xuanji and found a stranger following Xuanji Beside him, he stood side by side with Wang Qi, "This is..."

"I'm Gongsunsu." He cupped his hands, a little casually, he was Gongsunsu, the famous Gongsunsu.

"You are Gongsunsu." Zhaoxi said, and once he heard the other party's name, he stared at Gongsunsu closely, "The legendary Gongsunsu."

"No." Gongsunsu crossed Zhaopo, found Zhaoxi, and said to Zhaoxi word by word, "It's the real Gongsunsu."

"Whoever wins the grandson can unify the world." Zhaoxi looked down on this kind of people very much, they have no skills, but their vain reputation has spread all over the world, "the people who are trying to catch fame."

"Heh." Gongsun Su smiled lightly, and stopped looking at Zhao Xi, with a bit of disdain, as if saying that Zhu Zi was something to talk about.

"Ru..." Being provoked by Gongsun Su, Zhao Xi suddenly lost her composure and opened her mouth to argue with Gongsun Su.

"Xi'er." Zhao Po said.

"Your disrespect." Zhaoxi blushed, and hurriedly apologized.

"Young and vigorous." Looking at Zhaoxi who bowed her head to confess her sins, Xuanji said meaningfully, "Since Zhaoqing is curious about Mr. Gongsun, I will just go along with the flow and ask Zhaoqing to accompany Mr. Gongsun to wander around."

Who is curious about him.Zhao Xi glared at the smiling Gongsun Su, thinking that the other party did it on purpose, "The minister leads the order."

Xuanji turned around and got into the carriage, inviting Zhao Po, "Mr. Zhao and Gu go back together. Gu has been away from the capital for a long time, and I didn't look carefully last time I came back. Doctor Zhao accompanied Gu to look around."

"Respect is worse than obedience."

"Xi'er." Zhaopo instructed Zhaoxi, "Don't neglect Mr. Gongsun."

"No." Zhaoxi said reluctantly.

Watching Xuanji leave, the officials looked eagerly at Gongsunsu again. When Zhaoxi saw it, she immediately lowered her face, "How decent is it?"

Due to Zhaoxi's status, everyone had no choice but to be unhappy and return disappointed. Anyway, we can meet again tomorrow morning, so there is no need to rush.If he offended Zhao Xi at this time, he might not be able to reap any benefits.

When the crowd dispersed, Zhao Xi didn't turn to look at Gongsun Su, but just walked away, "Follow me." His back looked a little annoyed.

This one, Gongsun Su raised his footsteps and followed Zhao Xi, looking even more interesting than my king.There was a twinkle in his eyes, full of interest.

On the same avenue, Xuanji and Zhaopo are discussing what happened recently. "What's the big deal in the court?"

"Nothing." Zhao Po saluted, "It's just that something happened in the palace."

"What's wrong with him?" Upon hearing that there was something going on in the palace, Xuanji immediately lost her composure and asked Zhaopo to give an answer.

"It's Gongzi Yu." Zhao Po said, "You can't keep Gongzi Yu, but Your Majesty, you have to think twice, if you remove Gong Ziyu at this time, it may be bad for Your Majesty's reputation."

"Get out of the way." Xuanji glared at Zhaopo.

"My lord, those who achieve great things cannot be influenced by emotions." Zhao Po tried hard to persuade.

"I can't protect the people I value. What's the use of this country?" Xuanji got on her horse and drove straight in. Countless soldiers knelt down to her, and all the people surrendered. And the king they worshiped was not for the world at this time, but for the sake of the world. one person.

Zhaopo got off the carriage and watched Xuanji go, his back looked old and decadent at this moment.

"Mr. Zhao." The groom said with concern, he seemed to be getting old in an instant.

"Nothing." Zhao Po waved his hand, turned and left.
