Chapter 064

Qingji opened the bamboo slips and took a look. The contents of the battle report really verified his inner conjecture.

Helu professed his vassalage to the Yue State and was granted the title "Wu Gong" by Yue Chang. In name, the four cities of Wuyuan, Xing, Jianli and Yu'er in the south of the Wu State that Helu now controls have a radius of 200 miles.

The territory has been owned by the Yue Kingdom!

Moreover, in order to show his ambition to conquer Wu, Yunchang did not hesitate to send troops to kill Wu's envoys.

Fortunately, Bo Xi is a bit of a thief. He had a premonition that something was wrong and something serious was going to happen, so he ran away immediately. Now he is wanted by Yue State and his whereabouts are unknown!

Now, the State of Yue has formed an alliance with Helu and agreed to attack Wu together.

This is a detailed work sent by Sun Wu. The news obtained in Kuaiji, the capital of the Yue Kingdom, cannot be wrong!

For Qingji, there is no worse situation than this.

The situation in Wu State is very serious now!

To the north, they were invaded by the Han army, so there was nothing to worry about.

To the west, the Wu and Chu armies were fighting fiercely at Zuzi. Without reinforcements, the city of Zuzi would be captured by the Chu army soon!

To the south, Sun Wu's soldiers and horses were threatened by Helu and the Yue barbarians, and they were about to press the border with their troops.

With such a three-sided attack, how could the Wu State turn danger into disaster and turn defeat into victory?

For a moment, Qingji felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he managed to stabilize his mind, calm down again, and think about countermeasures!

no!

There can be no further delay. We must immediately reinforce Yuzi and fight quickly to defeat the Chu army!

Qing Ji immediately issued an edict, scheduled to send troops to rescue Zuzi early tomorrow morning.

Wu Palace, Jiaofang Hall.

At this time, Ji Kou, who was already the queen of King Wu, was dressing up. She had just taken a bath, and her face was like a hibiscus emerging from water, which could be broken by a blow.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Ji Kou couldn't help but hold up his fair and delicate chin, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes!

It was really not the right time for her to marry into the Kingdom of Wu!

At this time, the State of Wu was suffering a massive attack from its powerful neighbor Chu State to the west, and was being invaded by the Han army in the north. The situation was extremely critical.

If you are not careful, Qing Ji, who is not long after the coronation ceremony, may lose your country, your family, and your body!

However, Ji Kou did not feel sorry for himself or regretted it.

It has been several days since Ji Kou married into the Kingdom of Wu, but Ji Kou has not yet met her husband, King Wu Qingji, nor has the marriage been consummated.

Because of the war, Qingji, who was under tremendous pressure, had to deal with all kinds of things, patrolling everywhere, and could not get away to meet Ji Kou.

But she knows her current identity very well!

Jikoo, Queen of Wu, Qingji’s wife!

"King!"

"The king has arrived——"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside the palace.

Ji Kou was startled and quickly looked towards the door.

Surrounded by a group of Suwei eunuchs, he saw a man with a dignified appearance walking towards him.

Is he Wu Wang Qingji?

Ji Kou was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted Qing Jifu and said, "I am here to see you, your Majesty."

"The queen is exempt from the gift."

Qingji only gave him a weak support and did not come forward to get close to Ji Kou.

This is not because Qingji is afraid of being abrupt with the beautiful woman, or because he is too shy, but because he needs to keep a certain distance from Ji Kou at this moment!

The so-called "respecting each other as guests" and treating each other with the same eyebrows is nothing better than this.

Qingji is just not used to it!

Ji Kou raised his eyes and glanced at the group of Suwei eunuchs who were following Qingji. Feeling doubtful in his heart, he asked: "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Seeing his queen, is it necessary for Qing Ji to mobilize troops like this?

"Queen, please come out with me."

Qingji put down these words and left the palace on his own.

Ji Kou did not dare to neglect, and followed Qing Ji to the platform outside. Looking around, he saw that the courtyard was already filled with strong and strong guards.

What Chang Ge was pointing at seemed to be a group of palace maids and eunuchs being surrounded!

These palace maids and eunuchs naturally followed Ji Kou from the country of Yue as dowries.

Some Ji Kou still look familiar!

I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded by hunky guards. They couldn't help but kneel on the ground, trembling. The timid palace maids even wiped away their tears and sobbed.

"Your Majesty, what crime did they commit? That makes Your Majesty treat these people from Gong'e Temple like this?"

Ji Kou was very puzzled and wanted to plead with Qing Ji.

However, Qingji just replied calmly: "Please forgive me, Queen."

He handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ji Kou and said, "Queen, please take a look. This was found from an eunuch in your Jiaofang Palace. It is a secret report to the King of Yue."

"Your father has placed a secret agent among the eunuchs who will be married to you. I wonder if the queen knows about it?"

"This... I don't know about this."

Ji Kou covered her mouth, feeling very surprised.

Qingji saw that Ji Kou's expression didn't seem to be fake, so he let it go and stopped worrying about it too much!

"Queen, I believe you. However, these palace eunuchs cannot stay by your side to serve you. From now on, they will be assigned to various palaces on duty!"

Qingji glanced at Ji Kou and said slowly: "I have also selected some palace eunuchs for the Queen to take care of your daily life, Queen. It will be no problem."

"..."

When Ji Kou heard this, he only felt a sense of grievance in his heart. He couldn't help but his eyes filled with mist, and asked: "Does the king want to put this concubine under house arrest?"

"If the queen thinks it is, then it is. If she thinks it is not, then it is not."

Qingji gave an ambiguous answer, then turned around and said meaningfully: "Queen, I hope you can remember your identity."

"In the past, you were Yunchang's daughter and the princess of the Yue Kingdom. Now, you are the widow of a widower and the queen of the Wu Kingdom!"

"Whether it is right or wrong depends on the queen's thoughts."

"Tomorrow I will personally lead a military expedition to fight against the Chu army. Queen, please take it seriously and don't think about it."

After saying that, Qing Ji led all the guards and left step by step, leaving only Ji Kou who stood there blankly and had not recovered for a long time!

Regarding Ji Kou, Qingji still doesn't know how he should treat her.

There was a feud between Wu and Yue, and the conflicts and grievances could not be resolved. A war would break out one day, but Qingji did not expect that this day would come so quickly!

As soon as the Yue Kingdom signed an alliance with the Wu Kingdom and entered into a marriage alliance, the Yue Kingdom immediately turned its back on them and openly united with Helu to attack Wu.

The head rat has two ends, Qing Ji will never tolerate it!

Moreover, as two countries that are also located in the southeastern corner of Kyushu, Wu and Yue are destined to be unable to truly bury the hatchet.

After all, in this era, the strong are always strong and the weak are always weak!

Under this situation, either Wu will destroy Yue, or Yue will destroy Wu. There is no other way out.

Having said that, Ji Kou is innocent after all. She is just a victim in the political marriage between Wu and Yue!

Now, the Yue Kingdom is aggressively attacking Wu. Although Qingji is angry, he must not vent his anger on Ji Kou.

He can't afford to lose this person, let alone do it!

As for Yue Guo Xizuo who was hiding next to Ji Kou, Qing Ji didn't care much.
Chapter completed!
