"Zhuang Ling and his clan members have met Zhenjun Daowu!"
As soon as Sishi entered the heaven and earth world located in the prosperous area of Yingdu, he started to buy various things every day, either buying rouge and gouache for the girls in the pavilion, or buying brocade clothes and thin blouses for the girls in the pavilion, or...
other.
Every day, there are a lot of people buying in a group, about ten of them, scattered in the merchant area of Yingdu. They implement the purchase lists one by one and then return. Today is no exception. As usual, everyone who buys returns quickly.
.
It's just that this group of purchasing personnel has grown very strong, and there is even a six or seven-year-old naughty boy among them. The group of people entered from the back door of the Heaven and Earth, and then under the leadership of a dedicated person.
, go to a house in the rear area.
After half a stick of incense, a group of sturdy men in simple clothes and the naughty boy stood quietly in the hall. Their eyes were focused on the front of the hall. After a few breaths, a man who was obviously the leader stepped forward and bowed.
He bowed his body and bowed his hands.
Everyone behind him followed him.
"Tonight, what evening is coming? The boat is in the middle of the river."
"What day will it be that I will be in the same boat with the prince?"
"Being humiliated and treated well is not shameful."
"My heart is very troubled and I will not stop thinking about it. I learned about the prince."
"There are trees in the mountains, but the trees have branches, and my heart is happy for you, but you don't know it."
"This song spreads in the land of Wu and Yue. In the past, this good story between Zhuang Xin and Lord Xiangcheng of the Zhuang family can be said to be the envy of people in all Xia. Haha, you don't need to be polite, I'm here for you.
Been waiting for a long time.”
Facing the etiquette of the ten men in front of him, and of course, there was also the etiquette of a naughty boy among them, Zhou Qing, who was sitting at the top, stood up for them, brushed his hands, and suddenly wisps of gentle wind lifted them up.
The song is a clear and clear song about the land of Wu and Yue. This song can be said to be a bright portrayal of Zhuang Xin, a member of the Zhuang family. From this, he gradually became famous in the Chu State, but of course, it also laid the foundation for disaster.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qianhong on the side of the hall came forward with two graceful maids and led everyone to their seats. Each one had fragrant tea rising with heat and wisps of fragrance filling the air.
After all was said and done, Bai Qianhong bowed to Zhuang Ling Fu of the Zhuang clan, and then knelt down and sat three feet away from Zhou Qing. Her slender hands were crossed on her lower abdomen, with an unparalleled posture that attracted the constant gazes of the well-dressed men from the Zhuang clan who were traveling with her.
See it will pass.
"The Zhuang family has been in trouble for a long time. Now in the entire Chu State, I am afraid that not many people know about the Zhuang family. If the glory of our ancestors cannot be reproduced in our hands, we will really be ashamed of our ancestors."
The leader of the Zhuang clan, Zhuang Ling, is an elegant man who is only forty years old. He exudes an aura that is different from the rest of the Zhuang clan. Even so, his whole body is also dressed up and moving, and his body is full of energy.
The vulgar inner strength.
With handsome, slightly dark features and a pair of piercing eyes, he once again looked at Zhou Qing who was looking up. He listened to the other person's words about the song of Wu and Yue, and recited the glory of his ancestors. Looking back now, he felt extremely ashamed.
Even the rest of the Zhuang clan were filled with unnatural resentment. In the past, Zhuang Xin helped the Chu State a lot, but the King of Chu and the Qu, Zhao, Jing and other families could not tolerate him. Otherwise, Xiang Xiang in the Chu Kingdom today would not be tolerated.
How can the clan climb over them?
"Yin and yang change, each has its own way. The main thing is to seize every opportunity of yin and yang change, so that it can continue to exist forever."
"Therefore, in the hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of vassal states have been baptized, and only seven are left now. And these seven vassal states are about to be unified. It can be said to be destiny."
"Thirty years have passed since the rise of Xiang Yan from the Xiang clan in Chu State. I wonder how much strength the Zhuang clan still has?"
There is nothing in the world that is always strong or weak. If you cannot master it, you will easily be overwhelmed by the long river of time. If you can master it, you can be superior to the long river of time.
Acting with spiritual awareness, he glanced at the Zhuang clan members in the hall and nodded slightly. As for Zhuang Ling's identity, Bai Qianhong had also informed her in advance that he was now the person in charge of the Zhuang clan, and the rest were capable clan members.
If the other party wants to rely on its own strength to survive, and even counterattack the Chu State in the future, and rebuild a more magnificent Zhuang clan, then it will not work if it does not have enough strength for itself to take seriously.
Without looking around, he went straight to the topic. He picked up the warm jade tea cup in front of the table with one hand and took a sip. Bai Qianhong sat aside without saying a word.
"The ancestor Zhuang Xin was squeezed out by the King of Chu and three families and died in grief and anger. Zhuang Ji was dissatisfied and immediately led his troops to attack Yingdu to demand an explanation. He never thought that the Chu State would be so vulnerable.
Under the attack of our Zhuang clan, the country is in danger."
"It's a pity that compared to the Chu family, which has a rich heritage for hundreds of years, the Zhuang family was unable to sustain it. Dongting Jiujiang area, Jiangshui area, and Jiangdong area each have strong troops to attack."
"Although I don't want to admit it, Xiang Yan of the Xiang clan is indeed a military prodigy. In the mountain warfare that the Zhuang clan is good at, he completely defeated the Zhuang clan. In order to avenge the power of the Zhuang clan, Zhuang Ji had no choice but to ask for his life."
Those years are a history that the Zhuang family can never forget. In that battle, the Zhuang family became the remnants of the Chu royal family, and countless people stepped on the bones of the Zhuang family to ascend to high positions.
How unfair is this!
Zhou Qing listened quietly, and had to say that what Zhuang Ling said was quite similar to what Bai Qianhong said about the battle in Guigu Zongheng a hundred years ago. In the end, there was a winner and a loser.
"Back then, Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony and the Yue State was defeated. In just twenty years, they had the strength to fight against the Wu State. Although our Zhuang clan is not as good as the Yue State, in the past thirty years, we have lived in the Jiangnan area and conquered the Baiyue people.
, plus members of other families who were also persecuted in Chu State."
"Today, the Zhuang clan has a 6,000 -person mountain elite soldiers. If it is a month, a soldier of 20,000 people can be gathered.
As expected, Qin will definitely attack Chu in the future."
"If Lord Meng Daowu doesn't give up, when the time comes, our Zhuang family is willing to be the vanguard officer!"
Zhuang Ling, the master of the Zhuang clan, continued to say, and his expression was a little excited. He didn't wait for the mouth to fall in the mouth. Huo Ran got up and went to the hall again to give a gift to Zhou Qing again.
Among the Xia, only Qin can help the Zhuang family achieve their goals and regain their past glory.
After a breath, the remaining Zhuang clan people followed again, walked behind Zhuang Ling, bowed their hands and could take the line of Qin Guodao Wu Zhenjun. For the Zhuang family, it was beyond imagination.
"Qin and Chu have been married for generations, so how could Qin attack Chu?"
Scanning the ten members of the Zhuang family in front of him, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile softly. Unexpectedly, the potential strength of the Zhuang family is not weak. After thirty years of gathering, it is extremely comparable to the territory of the Qu Zhaojing family.
Private soldiers.
However, a verbal agreement is not what he wants. With the power of the Zhuang family, it will play a big role in the future, but without them, Qin can also achieve its goals.
He drank the warm jade tea cup in his hand and played with it casually.
"My uncle said that Qin will definitely destroy Chu in the future."
Zhou Qing's words came out, and the voice with a hint of inner strength echoed in the hall. Suddenly, the expressions of the Zhuang clan changed slightly, and even the leader Zhuang Ling raised his eyebrows.
I thought carefully in my mind, today, Miss Bai has led the way, indicating that Lord Daowu is still interested in the Zhuang family, but this statement is..., suddenly, Zhuang Ling glanced at the empty tea cup in the hands of the master above him.
, a flash of light flashed through my heart.
However, before he could respond, a clear and childish voice came out from behind him, which was very loud in the silent hall. Immediately, the expressions of the Zhuang clan members in the hall changed even more.
"Xiao Tuo, you have no right to speak here!"
Immediately, the owner of those childish words was scolded.
"I...I'm not wrong. My uncle clearly said that Qin will definitely attack Chu in the future, and Chu will probably not be able to withstand Qin's attack."
"This is what my uncle said, not me."
It seems that the owner of the childish words was a little unwilling. Although his words were stagnant, he still defended strongly. Hearing his voice, he was quite unhappy, quite dissatisfied, and quite sad.
"That child is also a member of your Zhuang clan?"
Zhou Qing was surprised to see the child brought by the Zhuang family from the very beginning. He thought he was a direct descendant of the family who came with him, but according to the name he called him, that was not the case.
Although he is young, he insists on his opinions over and over again, which is even more rare. There are tens of millions of people in Zhuxia, and there are countless people who follow what they say, but they are not as good as a child.
Look at Zhuang Ling and inquire about it.
"My lord, please forgive me. This child is my biological sister's son. A few years ago, my sister's husband's family was raided by thieves in Qidi. Overnight, the family was destroyed. Only my seriously injured sister and this child were left to return to Jiangnan.
.”
"Not long after, my sister passed away, leaving only Zhao Tuo, a child who was very talented and intelligent. I liked him, so I took him with me to teach him. When I meet with you this time, I also want to let this child learn a lot."
"Don't blame the adults if the child is abrupt."
Hearing the tone of the previous adult, Zhuang Ling felt a little relieved. He immediately bowed his hands again and told the adult in front of him the identity of the child. Fortunately, he did not cause any serious trouble.
"Oh, his name...Zhao Tuo?"
Zhou Qing will never be as knowledgeable as a child, but that child has such perseverance at such an age. As long as he continues to grow up, there will be no mistakes in the future, and the Zhuang family will also benefit.
Just as he was about to return to the topic, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. If he heard correctly, Zhuang Ling called the child Zhao Tuo. As far as he knew, there was also a strange person named Zhao Tuo in the course of time.
people.
Calculating the age, that person should be a child. Could it be that Zhu Xia is really that young?
"This...that child's name is Zhao Tuo."
"In the past, when my sister was about to give birth, she was traveling with her husband named Zhao outside Jimo City. When this happened, I was about to return to the city with a carriage, but it rained heavily and the carriage got stuck in a mud pit and could not get out."
"Then, my brother-in-law untied the horse and personally took my sister back to the city. There was a thunder and thunder on the way back, and the two of them were terrified. Tuo's son was born on horseback. Because of this, he was named Tuo."
On a day of thunder and heavy rain, it was rare for Tuo to be born on horseback. Fortunately, nothing happened. Afterwards, it was mentioned as an interesting anecdote, but the adults seemed not to be interested in Tuo's son.
I didn't imagine it deeply. As an adult, I wouldn't pay attention to a child. I didn't say much.
"The thunder fell, the horses were frightened, and Zhao Tuo was born."
"This kid is really good. Does he have a favorite Bai Jia theory?"
Over the course of time, Zhao Tuo led his troops south to pacify Lingnan, which was due to his own personal strength. However, if this Zhao Tuo was the Zhao Tuo in front of him, with the power of the Zhuang family, and he could quickly pacify Lingnan in his hands, it would be even more
easy.
He whispered softly in his mouth, saying that Zhao Tuo's birth was also a strange phenomenon. He was very interested and continued to ask about it.
"Xiao Tuo hasn't read many books on weekdays. They are all handwritten notes and experiences left by some family ancestors, mainly Confucianism, Legalism, and military strategists. Of course, I only know a little about the words, but I don't understand their meaning.
"
Zhuang Ling couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. He was talking about the main topic, but why did the adult in front of him focus on Xiao Tuo? Even though he thought so, he still responded slowly.
Shifting the target of the adult beside her, Bai Qianhong's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at the child in the hall. He was wearing a simple light green linen outfit. Although his dark hair was short, it was still combed together and draped behind his back.
Her eyebrows are quite delicate, vaguely similar to that of Zhuang Ling, and she looks a lot like his mother. Her eyes are lively, and she stands quietly in the hall, being scolded by her clan members before, but now she doesn't say much.
"Let the child come near and I will ask him a question."
"If he can respond perfectly, what you are waiting for today will come true, and the Zhuang family will be revived. If he cannot respond, we will have to wait for the opportunity in the future."
He looks like he is only five or six years old. Even he himself is only literate, so he can't force himself to do more. With all the information in his mind just now, combined with all the events in the years, this person is most likely that person.
According to the normal trajectory, without his own appearance, the Zhuang family will still continue on the original route and ride on Qin's illustrious chariot. There is no need to think about black and white Xuanyu. In this way, it is also a perfect idea to send the family's children into the Qin army.
choice.
If it were Zhao Tuo who lived through the ages, he would definitely be able to rise quickly, lead an army, conquer Lingnan, restore the glory of the Zhuang family, and build his own achievements.
"Sir, this... is!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ling was instantly startled. Could it be that the adults did not agree to accept the Zhuang family? Otherwise, how could such a big deal be settled with a child's response?
For a moment, a strong sense of uneasiness swirled around, and he looked up and to Miss Bai on one side, hoping that the other party could help, but there was no response from the other party.
I had no choice but to bow my hand again.
Then, he turned slightly and called his hand to Zhao Tuo who was not far behind him. Seeing this, the man hurriedly trotted forward.
"uncle!"
Wearing a light green outfit, with delicate and youthful features, he came forward and bowed his hands.
"Well, let's listen to the adult's question. Respond well and respond with your heart."
Although Zhao Tuo is usually a little clever, in front of this grown-up in front of him, his cleverness will naturally not come to the fore. But at this point, he has no way out.
Several tribesmen behind him also looked unhappy. They didn't expect that what they thought was a sure thing today would end up in this state.
"Yes, uncle."
"Zhao Tuo has met Zhenjun Daowu!"
Although he was young, he had a strong sense of etiquette and a crisp and clear voice. He stepped forward and looked straight at Zhou Qing with his bright eyes. From behind, Zhao Tuo heard very clearly that the adult in front of him had a question for him.
"Haha, you just said that the Qin State will definitely attack and destroy the Chu State. So, maybe you can tell the reason? If you are right, then your uncle's visit today will not be in vain."
Zhou Qing looked at the little Zhao Tuo in front of him, couldn't help but smile brightly, and then asked directly.
"Well... I heard my uncle say that the Qin State wants to be under one country. Since it wants to be under one country, then there can only be one vassal state among the Xia, and naturally there are no other vassal states."
"Therefore, Qin must attack Chu, otherwise there will be two vassal states in Xia."
