Chapter 596 You think I can only play idol dramas, no, I can also play tricks
The Wu envoy also wanted to save face. Even if he was hit by an arrow in the knee, he would not admit it.
Just as he was about to speak to praise the empress of Wu for her bright side, Zhou Buyan changed the topic and suddenly started chatting about family affairs, asking the envoys of Wu how their salary was, how many people there were in their family, etc.
The envoys of the State of Wu were all confused by the question. He usually asked these questions to others.
He was very wary, fearing Zhou Buyan's retaliation. He had mentioned his salary but was vague about his family's situation and did not answer.
Zhou Buyan didn't ask further questions, but instead talked about the salaries and benefits of the Chu court officials.
He told how Chu Xingchen treated the courtiers preferentially and all the benefits.
The focus was also on the salary situation of the Chu envoys who were in the same position as the envoys of the State of Wu. The envoys of the State of Wu looked at them with sympathy.
I almost didn't say it directly, you are so pitiful.
As a result, the envoy of Wu State not only had his mouth full of dog food, but was also severely despised and pitied.
Zhou Buyan praised Chu Xingchen without repetition, and looked at the Wu envoy with a look that seemed to say, my majesty is so wise, your majesty... ugh, he is mentally ill.
Before the Wu envoy lost his temper, Zhou Buyan changed the subject and said how kind Chu Xingchen was to people of insight, "If you were in Da Chu, you would definitely be put in good use."
"We in Dachu welcome people of insight from all over the world. We are really in short supply of talents, especially people like you. You can really go to Dachu."
Wu envoy: "..."
No, General Zhou, why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Don’t you only show affection and feed dog food?
Why did you suddenly fight to bribe me? Were you pretending before?
The Wu envoy was completely confused: Who am I? Where am I?
Am I not here to bribe people? Why am I the one being bribed inexplicably?
And why am I so heartbroken?
He also wanted the welfare of the Chu courtiers, why didn't they!
And the Queen of Dachu sounds really nice. She is obviously a high-ranking queen, but she is stern when she is majestic and stern, but she is also really kind to the courtiers below.
Isn't that the way of a monarch and his ministers what he has followed throughout his life?
He was considered to be highly valued in Wu State, but he didn't get it, but in Da Chu, many people got it.
The Wu envoys didn’t know how they left.
Obviously he came to bribe Zhou Buyan, but Zhou Buyan made him doubt his pursuit of life, and he almost failed to be bribed by Zhou Buyan.
This was the unexpected result of beating the Queen of Wu to death.
The Empress of Wu State had seen Zhou Buyan's thinking when she was the princess. She played tricks with him and he showed affection.
The Empress of Wu State was very contemptuous of Zhou Buyan's love-mindedness.
However, in order to dream of unifying the world, she still had to bribe Zhou Buyan and even took advantage of Chu Xingchen.
Men are all possessive, and Zhou Wuyan will be very excited if he thinks about it.
She was right, but Zhou Buyan was not an ordinary person at all.
The capable and loyal Wu State envoy she sent not only failed to bribe Zhou Buyan, but also almost failed to be bribed by Zhou Buyan.
Although it didn't succeed, it planted roots.
And this is just the beginning.
Zhou Buyan was completely indifferent to the mood of the Queen of Wu. He pinched his face as he watched the Wu envoy leave.
He was overloaded with words today, which made his mouth sore.
Although the Wu envoy was told to leave, Beidi's most handsome man still needs to be careful.
Zhou Buyan asked someone to inquire about him, and found out that the other party had arrived in Dachu Feng'an City, and his appearance was indeed outstanding.
Wheat-colored skin, full of wildness, and a completely different flavor from Dachu men.
To put it simply, it means that male hormones are so high that women’s legs will go weak just by looking at them, which can make people want to conquer.
Zhou Buyan heard that the cup in his hand was crushed.
The envoy of Wu State confiscated the purchase and successfully bought it without saying anything. The Queen of Wu State had a second move.
She let people spread the news that General Zhou Muxing was actually of royal blood of the Kingdom of Wu, and his true identity was the half-brother of the Queen of the Kingdom of Wu, but he was exiled to Chu due to an accident in his early years.
She hoped that General Zhou Muxing could return as soon as possible and recognize his ancestors.
Chu Xingchen already knew about this matter, and the Queen of Wu did not expect to have any influence on Chu Xingchen.
But it can shake the morale of the army.
The news quickly spread in the Dachu camp. Everyone was shocked and confused when they heard that the newly born General Zhou Muxing was actually the prince of the Wu Kingdom.
The news soon spread in Feng'an City, and the courtiers argued about it.
Chu Xingchen knew that this was a drama played by the Queen of Wu, and tried his best to comfort her.
To Zhou Buyan, this rumor just seemed like he had lost his vest, but at the same time it seemed like he had not.
Zhou Buyan responded to the rumors with practical actions. He is a great Chu man.
Wu Guo also wanted to deliberately deceive and deliberately not attack Zhou Buyan, hoping to divide them and increase suspicion.
It's a pity that Zhou Buyan counterattacked every time they met, and in the end he was forced to take action.
What kind of prince is not a prince? They just want to survive!
After learning that Xirong was honest, Lieutenant General Guan couldn't wait to come to support him. He had never fought such a frustrating battle, and had never seen such a disgusting plan.
"I've heard about Wu Guonan's fight before, but I didn't expect it to be so torturous and deliberately disgusting. When will this continue?"
"General, is there anything you can do?"
Zhou Buyan shook his head, "Not yet."
Lieutenant General Guan couldn't see clearly the expression on Zhou Buyan's face because of his rabbit mask, so he asked quietly.
"General, I heard that our great Chu has a divine weapon. Did your Majesty also give it to you?"
Zhou Buyan glanced at him, and Vice General Guan touched his nose and said carefully, "I have no other intention, I just want to use this magical weapon to break this situation of neither going up nor down."
The brothers below are also anxious. They are used to going to the battlefield and really fighting, but they are really not used to this.
Zhou Buyan glanced at him, "Are you anxious?"
Lieutenant General Guan admitted, "I can't hide it from the general, but I am really anxious. I feel very frustrated. I have to guard against poisonous insects and poisonous insects at all times. They are also disgusting."
Zhou Buyan didn't answer.
He was also anxious, he was more anxious than anyone else, after all, there was no pregnant woman waiting in the palace.
The longer this battle drags on, the worse it gets. His Majesty is still waiting for him in the palace with a heavy belly. He is trapped here, unable to get up or down.
He must go back before His Majesty is due to give birth, let alone wait until the next spring. The miasma will break out in late spring, and Chu will definitely suffer setbacks by then.
But he couldn't be in a hurry and just use the explosives that His Majesty gave him when he set off.
He knew about explosives earlier than anyone else. He went with His Majesty during the testing and had already seen its power.
As someone who knows a lot about explosives, he knows their power, but because Beidi was in danger, they were closely following Beidi, so their number was small.
Although His Majesty will try his best to send it again, it will take time.
This explosive must be used on the edge, and explosives are most useful in head-to-head confrontations or ambushes. In short, they are not suitable for the current situation. They are hiding and cannot explode randomly.
That would be a waste of explosives, and it would prevent the mountain from being blown up, causing gravel and soil or landslides, and injuring your own people.
Furthermore, His Majesty has emphasized several times in his letters that it is safe to use explosives with fire, but that the mountain cannot be set on fire.
It will no longer be a joke by then.
So even if he received hints from the soldiers, he could see that because he didn't use explosives, Wu Guo felt that they didn't have such things in their hands, so they became more unscrupulous and never let go.
"Wait a little longer, it's not yet time."
Zhou Buyan told Vice General Guan and also told himself.
Don't be anxious, nothing will go smoothly.
Vice General Guan wanted to ask what to do when the time came, but a soldier came quickly. When Zhou Buyan saw the letter in his hand, he quickly passed by.
