"What?" In the town hall, Jiang Wang was shocked.
After settling down, he found out from Officer Qian that the Qi army was besieging Yang.
He also understood why Officer Qian was willing to compromise and let them take advantage of him.
He was still too naive. If he had known about this earlier, he would have been willing to pay a thousand Daoyuan Stones, much less five hundred.
But to this piece of news itself, what did it matter if he took more or less of a few Dao Yuan Stones?
Qi's every move was enough to cause a commotion in the East.
What's more, they were besieging Yang!
"Tell me clearly, Qi's army besieging Yang is to besiege Yang and stop the plague. Or to swallow Yang? "Jiang Wang asked.
"I'm just a small businessman, how can I know such a big thing? But maybe … it's both! "
The town hall fell into a short silence.
Jiang Wang was almost certain that this was Qi's big move that Chung Geng Sheng had hinted at earlier!
He did not blame Chung Geng Sheng for not telling him about this earlier. Even if Chung Geng Sheng was not afraid of death, he would have stopped him.
But this was indeed too sudden.
If the State of Qi were to swallow up the Yang Kingdom and turn the vassal state into a county under their rule, the entire territory of the Yang Kingdom would have to be redistributed. This meant that all his efforts in the Yang Kingdom might have been for naught.
Because the division after the war could only be led by Qi's army and did not involve anything else.
Wait … could it be that Chung Geng Sheng did not think of this?
With that in mind, Jiang Wang asked, "Officer Qian, have you found out who is the person leading the army to the Yang Country?"
Officer Qian shook his head. "The Four Seas Business Alliance's intelligence network has been cut off. I don't know anything about Yang. I only know that it's one of the Nine Soldiers, the Qiu Offense Army. Perhaps only when the war truly begins will I be able to find out who is coming. "
One of the Nine Soldiers was coming. His determination was obvious.
As the saying goes, with a sharp blade in one's body, one's desire to kill is born. With such a powerful army coming to Yang Country and easily conquering Yang Country, it was hard for the higher-ups of Qi not to be tempted.
Jiang Wang could only think that … Chung Geng Sheng must be in the army at this moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to reply. But what role did Chung Geng Sheng play in this?
How can I help him? What kind of cooperation did he need?
At that moment, one of them was in the Yang Kingdom while the other was outside the Yang Kingdom. One guarded a town alone, while the other was in the army.
How could they cooperate when they couldn't communicate with each other?
Jiang Wang felt that he had missed something, but he couldn't figure it out.
She asked casually, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"
Dugu Xiao did not hesitate: "Xiao Xiao doesn't know anything, how can he have any opinion? Master is such a smart person. Whatever you say, we will do. "
This was just a small daily show of loyalty. She had been working hard to strengthen Jiang Wang's leadership position in front of Xiang Qian and Zhu Biqiong. There was nothing special about it.
But when he heard this, Jiang Wang suddenly had an idea.
"That fatty is much smarter than me. If I can think of cooperating with him, he won't not think of me in Yang Country! In a situation where we can't communicate, if he needs me to do something or wants to tell me something, what will he do? Or … could he have already done something? "
Jiang Wang looked at Manager Qian again. He finally understood what he had overlooked.
"Manager Qian, I just remembered something." He asked, "I heard from the guard in the warehouse that you left Yang Country a long time ago? Why did you suddenly turn back? Logically speaking, even if the Qi Army is in the Sealed State, they shouldn't have intercepted the Qi people, right? "
"When one is unlucky, even cold water will get stuck in one's teeth!"
Manager Qian had always thought that he was expelled from Pingxi County because he hid his harvest and bribed the army, thus missing the initial opportunity to escape back to Qi Country.
It was inconvenient to say everything in front of Jiang Wang. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm used to being filial to the military, but I didn't expect to meet such an impartial person who chased me back. After that, I turned to another place and was forbidden from passing … "
"It's not busy. What's the situation everywhere? Tell me in detail. "
Manager Qian began to pick and choose.
"So, Chen Yong and the rest are still in the military camp outside Baichuan City?"
"Yes." Manager Qian scolded, "I'm only one day late, and those stinky military leaders are not allowed to pass, even if they are in the military camp!"
Hearing this, Jiang Wang was eighty percent sure. Now, Chung Geng Sheng was very likely in Baichuan City and had a certain amount of military power.
This Manager Qian was the "informant" that he "sent" back!
He knew very well how Jiang Wang managed Qingyang Town, and he also knew that Manager Qian, who fled with the money, had nowhere to go in the Yang Country.
He used Manager Qian to vent Jiang Wang's anger, and also to let Jiang Wang use Manager Qian's resources to supplement. He also told Jiang Wang that he was here!
And the most important thing was that Chung Geng Sheng also needed him to protect Qingyang Town!
"Manager Qian, I'm sure you know the current situation," Jiang Wang stood up and said, "At this time, we must focus our efforts in one place. If we are scattered, we will be weak. Your people, including you, are now under my command. What do you think? "
"I think it's very good! Sir Jiang is a young hero. What he said is right! "
Manager Qian appeared to be awe-inspiring.
Of course, whether he had any objections in his heart was unknown. Fortunately, Jiang Wang didn't need to consider his inner thoughts. He only needed him to transfer as much of the Four Seas Business Alliance's resources in Jia City.
And it was worth mentioning that this day was already the 26th of July.
The last two victims of the plague in Qingyang Town.
One died of illness, and the other recovered.
It was as if the past and the future existed at the same time.
…
…
Zhaoheng City, in the palace hall.
The courtiers had already retreated.
The King of Yang Country, Yang Jiande, was half-squatting, personally picking up something on the ground — it was some fragments of clothes and accessories. The material was faintly discernible and luxurious.
Naturally, there wouldn't be any flesh and blood left behind. The fragments that were left behind were all damaged by the owner's struggle.
Eunuch Liu Huai had been waiting by the side.
Yang Jiande casually asked as he picked up the fragments, "Where's Xuance?"
Liu Huai bowed and said, "He's not in Zhaoheng City or Cang Feng City. I don't know where he went. The situation is too chaotic now. I still need some time … "
"Forget it." Yang Jiande straightened up and held the messy fragments in his hand. He said lightly, "The Yang Country's situation today is my fault. It's also good if a descendant can be left. "
"How can we blame Your Majesty now?" Liu Huai's tears flowed down. "Three generations ago, the Yang Country was already a vassal country. When the late King was still alive, the last strong army of the Yang Country was destroyed, and the capital had to be renamed Zhaoheng City. After defeating the Xia Country, Qi no longer had any opponents in the Eastern Region. Our Yang Country is also weak … After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he faced such a situation. Even if Your Majesty's civil and military skills are not inferior to others, how can you turn the situation around? "
"Zhaoheng is bright, which is our Yang Country. Zhaoheng is stable, which is the current situation. It sounds nice, but it's just a struggle at death's door. "
Yang Jiande sighed and waved his hand. "I'm useless, and my son is also useless. Don't push the blame to my father. "
He took a few steps forward and put the fragments in his left hand into Liu Huai's arms. "Keep them well."
After Liu Huai held them respectfully, Yang Jiande turned and walked out of the hall.
Although the hall was luxurious, it was a little dim. Perhaps it was because the palace was too dark and the lights were not bright enough.
However, it was bright outside the hall, and the sun was shining brightly.
"Write a letter of credence and beg Chongxuan Chu Liang to surrender. Add a jade seal and invite him to the palace for a chat."
Yang Jiande said as he walked.
His footsteps were not fast, but each step was very far.
Liu Huai just looked up and saw that his king was already standing at the door of the hall.
The figure that was not very tall seemed to be standing at the boundary between light and darkness.
There was light in front of him, but he did not want to walk in. There was darkness behind him, but he could not fall.
Only his voice seemed to come from another world.
It was very clear, but also very far away.
"I want to see, 30 years have passed, Xiong Tu … can still eat?"
