Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

In March, the spring breeze is warm and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. As soon as the people experienced the spring planting, the Chu State began a new round of conquests. This time, the target was Luhun Zhirong in the north.The Chu army is ready to go. After the new king took office, Chu has never lost a battle, and it can be said that it is almost invincible. Therefore, the soldiers are not worried, but full of great ambitions to make contributions and be loyal to the country.

Xiong Lu sat on the carriage and set off with the army.He looked forward or backward from time to time, but he didn't see King Zhuang.

It was so strange that he put himself in his place, so where did he go?

Xionglu rested his chin and thought for a long time, thinking that he was probably going to secretly observe the situation of Piujiao.Or, he just hid in the ranks, being an ordinary and inconspicuous cavalryman.Without seeing him, Xiong Lu can pretend to be the same as before.He sat in the position of King Zhuang for more than a year, isn't he doing well?Now I'm just doing what I was proficient two years ago, and there's nothing I can't handle.Thinking about it this way, I feel a lot more at ease.

With the strength of the Chu army, it is really easy to attack Lu Hun's Rong.Lu Hun's army is nothing more than the barbarians who dominate the side of Luoshui, just like bandits.Although there were many brave men with supernatural powers among them, under the iron hooves of the Chu army, they immediately turned into a pan of loose sand.

Blood stained the shore of Luoshui red, and it was still early, Xiong Lu ordered the soldiers to regroup, cross Luoshui, and head to Zhoujiang.

It was dusk when we crossed the Luoshui River.Xiong Lu unhurriedly ordered some soldiers to set up camp, and the other part lined up, like a military parade outside the Zhou border.It won't take long to show off like this, and the envoys will definitely be attracted.He is not in a hurry, it is getting late today, just wait for tomorrow.

The camp tent has already been set up, and he is sitting in the tent, and the charcoal fire has been prepared.Guan Fuxiu came in with hot food, took off his helmet, and said, "How is it? I haven't seen him today, did he come to look for you?"

Xiong Lu shook his head: "Never, I have never seen him since I set off from Yingdu."

Guan Fuxiu sat down beside him, the charcoal fire warmed his hands, and his pale face turned rosy.Xiong Lu took him both hands and said, "Can you handle it? Wearing a helmet all day without seeing his true face, I'm afraid someone will be curious."

Guan Fuxiu snorted coldly, and said: "You just save me, no one is so boring and insists on testing me. If someone insists on asking, I will just say that I am a shadow guard, and the shadow guard never shows up. , they should know."

"This time he dispatched troops, he left Luo Jia, Luo Ao, Qu Wuchen, and Qu Dang in Yingdu. The purpose of keeping Luo Jia and his son was to guard the overall situation against Doujiao, but it seemed a bit subtle to leave Qu Dang behind."

"He is suspicious of the wizard, so naturally he is more suspicious of his younger brother."

Xiong Lu opened the food box, poured meat soup for Guan Fuxiu, and said, "Zhou Tianzi's territory is so small, the news of our Chen Bing's presence should arrive tomorrow morning at the latest, do you think the shadow will be embarrassed?"

Guan Fuxiu lowered his head: "It's embarrassing...who wouldn't be embarrassing? It's more embarrassing than embarrassing, the two of us are much more embarrassing than him. If...he gets the news late at night, maybe he will come to check."

"He didn't know that it was the two of us who came, so he probably wouldn't come rashly."

"Yes, I don't want him to come."

As the moon set and crows crowed, the sound of jackdaws spread all over the shore of Luoshui. The couple of bears woke up twice from their dreams, and the sky finally dawned.Although spring is warm in March, it has not been very warm these few days, and frost can be seen faintly when we wake up in the morning.The place where Zhou Tianzi is located is farther north than Yingdu, and not as warm as the south.The peach blossoms in the North have not yet bloomed.

"Report, Your Majesty, the envoy Zhou is here to see you!"

The voice of the soldiers outside the tent came, Xiong Lu adjusted his clothes, opened the curtain, and walked out of the tent.

A small group of people came out from the city gate. The leader was about sixty years old, with gray hair but full of energy and elegant demeanor.He thought, this person should be Wang Sunman.

"The minister Wang Sunman has seen Chu Zi." Wang Sunman bowed slightly.

There was a smile on the corner of Xiong Lu's mouth, and he only nodded slightly.During this period, titles were divided into Duke, Marquis, Bo, Zi, and Nan, and the king of Chu was named Viscount, which was a relatively low title. Most of the kings of Chu in the history books were also named as Chu sons.However, the monarch of the Chu Kingdom proclaimed himself king several generations ago, and his current strength is even more powerful enough to dominate the Central Plains.The name Chu Zi sounds a bit demeaning at this time.

"The Son of Heaven heard that Chu Zi eliminated Lu Hun's troubles on the banks of the Luoshui River, and lamented that this is really a blessing for the Central Plains, so he sent his ministers to reward the three armies."

Wang Sunman's words were high-sounding.Xionglu knew in his heart that his plan of rewarding the three armies was fake, and it turned out to be true after checking the truth.

Following Wang Sunman's order, a small group of people brought jewelry, jade, wine, food, and food. Except for the king of Chu and important military officers, even ordinary soldiers all got a share.

"Thank you for the reward from the Son of Heaven, I will be grateful." Xiong Lu smiled.

Wang Sunman saw that Xiong Lu did not take the initiative to tell the reason for Chen Bing, so he cut straight to the point: "The Chu army must have been exhausted just after they fought against Lu Hun's army. It is common sense to stay on the shore of Luoshui for two more days to rest. When will the Chu army return to the land of Chu? If all the soldiers rest here, please ask Master Chu to inform the time. The ministers should report to the emperor and entertain them with delicious food and wine. However, there are so many soldiers, I am afraid they cannot be brought into Luoyi..."

The Xiong couple was bored, so they wanted to make things difficult for this serious and witty old man.He frowned, looked at the soldiers who were ready to go in the distance, and talked casually: "It is said that Xia Yu cast Jiuding to represent Kyushu. By chance, I came to the place of the Son of Heaven, and I heard that the master has read a lot of poetry and books, so I have a question and want to ask him for advice. I have always been curious, how much does this Jiuding weigh? "

At this moment, Xiong Lu saw that the expression on Wang Sunman's face changed suddenly, and his originally sallow face turned pale.His trembling lips betrayed his heart, Xiong Lu looked towards the vast Luoshui with a calm expression, as if he didn't care.

"Master Chu should know that the weight and size of the tripod cannot be questioned. This tripod has existed since Xia Yu's time. It is too heavy, too tall, and no one has ever known its weight."

"Oh?" Xiong Lu jokingly said: "If we break off the weapons of our Chu soldiers, is it enough to cast them into Jiuding?"

The spring was cold, but Wang Sunman's forehead was covered with cold sweat.He looked at the young king in front of him. He was still young, but he already had the potential to be a dominator. He didn't know how far he would go in the future.He didn't dare to be negligent, took a step forward, and replied solemnly: "Master Chu, if you want to rule Kyushu, you need virtue, not the tripod. If you don't have virtue, you can't just have the Jiuding. Cheng Jiuding, cast things on the tripod, so that the people understand the gods and evil. Xia Jie was confused and immoral, Jiuding moved to Shang, and later Shang Zhou was brutal, and Jiuding moved to Zhou.... Although Zhou's virtue has declined, the destiny has not changed. The weight of the tripod cannot be questioned."

Facing the serious Wang Sunman, Xiong Lu said with emotion: "I just ask this question, sir, don't worry too much. I won't stay here for long, so I won't go to Luoyi. Please send my greetings to the emperor for me, sir."

"Uh..." Wang Sunman hesitated to speak.

Xiong Lu understood what he was thinking, and said, "The Chu army is resting here for now, and will return to Chu tomorrow afternoon."

Wang Sunman felt relieved, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and said: "I will report to the Son of Heaven immediately to prepare a day's food and wine for you. Master Chu can have a banquet here with the soldiers."

Xiong Lu looked back and saw that there were many black armors by the Luoshui River, and there were all Chu troops ready to go.These tens of thousands of lions followed him all the way to fight, and now they are here, it is a worthwhile trip.He watched Wang Sunman leave. A few soldiers were guarding the high city gate, but there was no sign of increasing the number of troops.It is very smart to do so, not sending additional reinforcements is currently the best way not to provoke conflicts.Once aroused, facing tens of thousands of Chu troops, Luoyi will be in jeopardy.

From Yingdu to here, halfway through the battle of Lu Hunrong, more than half a month has passed.Going back now will face even greater challenges.His enemy is not Lu Hun Zhirong, not Zhou Tianzi, but a more difficult figure.

Doujiao, let us settle the countless assassinations and Uncle Dou's vendetta once and for all.

With the flag flying, Guan Fuxiu walked up to him and looked at the vast water surface and the Chu army stationed by the water with him. He said: "I once thought that it might not be a blessing to be able to unify the Central Plains. After enfeoffment, now each family has gradually grown, and the people of all parties are no longer what they used to be. Each country has different languages, different weights and measures, and different currencies. They are all sons of China, why is it so?"

"The Central Plains is bound to be unified, but not in the Spring and Autumn Period. Hundreds of years later, there will be one person who will rule the country and change the dynasty." Xiong Lu turned his head and asked, "Fuxiu, do you believe me?"

"letter."

"Then stop him, we can't let him do what the next generation should do in advance, the power of the four gods... It's time for him to disappear."

"Have you figured out a way?"

The couple of bears shook their heads slightly: "No, it's just a little clue. I think that the wizard may later become a role similar to a guardian, live for a long time, keep secrets, and choose people who maintain order according to needs. Sent to the past. You said that a person can live for more than 2000 years without changing the color, maybe he took Bingyu Powder. Where is the Bingyu Powder? Where did the Yin-Yang Disk come from? Maybe follow this route to find clues.”

Guan Fuxiu frowned and said: "Bingyusan... I heard the elders talk about it. When I return to Chu State, I will find a way to go to Miaojiang and ask the matter clearly."

The couple of bears hugged Guan Fuxiu's shoulders.Sighed: "I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."

The next day, the three armies were ready to go on the road.Guan Fuxiu said that Ji Yu quietly appeared on the tower in casual clothes.Xiong Lu thought, maybe he came to have a look because he was curious about what the master of this great southern country looks like.Although the city tower was some distance away from the camp, he might not be able to see clearly, but he avoided appearing in front of Ji Yu.

If he sees that Pan Er and Zhuang Wang look exactly the same, he doesn't know what to think about what happened in Luoyi's emperor's palace a few days ago.Do you think that Brother Wang's death was caused by him messing up the situation?

In this life, it is better not to see each other again.
