Chapter 26: Beacon smoke (twenty-two)
Chapter 26: Smoke of the Beacon (22)
Wu Fei felt even more sad when she heard this, and couldn't help but comfort her, "The rewards from King Zheng are too tempting, and they are all dreams of people. No wonder some people give up their conscience."
July laughed, drank a glass of wine and said, "Don't think I have resentment, but I don't. I knew that when I was traveling, the ones that people cursed the powerful are actually what they longed for. Once they were transferred, they would be like those who cursed the powerful."
It is rare for July to talk about her worries, and she couldn't help but drink more, so Wu Fei accompanied her one cup after another.
"Actually, the world is so strange. When many people cry and scold, they complain about injustice, they are not scolding those injustice with gratitude to the world. They are all scolding because they have suffered grievances or aroused the grievances they have suffered. When the situation changes, they naturally do not care whether they have hurt others the same..."
"...If you think these are strange, I actually think the stranger is not these. Are those who are unwilling to kill for the so-called orders? Are those who are obviously unbearable to bear the stupidity of the king and the arrogant officials even more strange? In many places, there are less than one-tenth of the people who are cruel and corrupt officials, but so many people endure oppression every day, allowing a group of cruel and corrupt officials to exploit but do not know how to resist..."
The more the two of them drank, the more they ate. Wu Fei did not drink alcohol in the past, but today she was just to accompany July. But relying on her deep internal skills, she was not afraid of getting drunk at all. She was only three points drunk, and she felt very happy.
"I am the strange person you said in July. I always want to concentrate on practicing martial arts, wanting to know what the higher level of martial arts looks like... But when the master came, he couldn't let go of his feelings and was forced to get involved in the battle between Zheng and Wei... Hehe, July, I am not from Wei, I was originally an orphan, and I didn't know which country I am from..."
"Since you know what those kings like to say about the country and the people are just for their own king's power and status, why bother to let the master participate? ... Where is the same in Feixian Sect? Master is originally a royal bloodline of Zheng, so he will naturally help Zheng. Now, except Qiuye, the people in Feixian Sect are all from powerful families in Zheng. How can they not help Zheng... The Jianyue Sect is just Wuzong, and is involved in the war in Wei State to protect his family, but they are still here to intervene in the war in Yan State? ... For the country and the people? Ha... I laughed at the verge of laughter. If you really do it for the country and the people, even if you know that you are incompetent, you will also kill the military and civilians in vain if you continue to fight, then you should surrender, what else should you do..."
"... My sister always loves to kill corrupt officials and evil officials, and report bad things, but Wu Fei can't do it. It's because she once witnessed a clean official who loves the people as much as her son being so rumored by a sinister villain. As a result, hundreds of male men in a city were not clear about the right and wrong, but she didn't even think about the many good deeds of the honest official in the past, and beat the honest official to death on the street. The sinister villain took charge of the city, and then exposed her face and ran rampant in the village, doing all kinds of evil. But those male men who once dared to kill the honest official were timid towards the evil villain, avoiding it, and letting him bully him! Sister, you say, these people are not worth helping... Wu Fei doesn't want to do those things anyway, she just wants to be calm and concentrate on practicing..."
The two women were drinking and chatting in an odd way. They didn’t remember how long they had been talking, nor did they remember when they fell asleep together.
When they sobered up, it was already noon. The dazzling sun shone on them, and they opened their eyes and dared not look at them.
Then both of them stood up and looked at each other.
Wu Fei first remembered the incident of her swornship last night and whispered tentatively, "Sister?" for fear that July was just drunk and confused.
"Sister!" July blew out of his mind and laughed softly. He remembered the many nonsense he said when he was drunk last night, and he felt it was funny.
Wufei also remembered it at this time and couldn't help but giggle.
July took Wu Fei to wash in the stream in the forest, and finally ate some Guru fruits to fill the stomach.
Wu Fei left the barracks overnight and couldn't continue to delay at this time. She was very reluctant to part with her before breaking up. She held July's hand and asked, "Sister is here, is she going to help the martyrdom army?"
July did not hide it from her. "Because he owed Beijun a favor, he just wanted to pay it back early, so he came to help the martyrdom army."
"Then sister must be careful about Bai Ling, the White House owner of Chu State. She heard that she hated her sister and vowed several times to kill her in this life before she would give up. If she knew that her sister had come to Yan State, she would definitely not let her go."
Although July knew that Bai Ling was not dead, he was not worried. At this time, he heard Wu Fei’s reminder and couldn’t help but chuckled, “Don’t worry. I was not afraid of her in the Shenwu Bang, and now I will not be afraid of her.”
"The White House's unique skill, the ghost Shura Kung, is indeed unique."
"I see."
Seeing that July heard this, Wufei said goodbye to her. When she left, she opened her flower umbrella. When July saw it, she couldn't help but lift the white umbrella in her hand, which made Wufei laugh lightly.
"It's a perfect saying--there is God's will in the dark."
July also found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.
The white umbrella was also from Wu Fei. It fell into the hands of Bei Jun and was then given to her. Now she met Wu Fei again and became a friend of Jinlan. The persistent flying umbrella seemed to have become a treasure that witnessed their Jinlan's friendship, and it really tasted like a god's will.
Seeing Wu Fei's thin and petite figure gradually fading away under the cover of the flower umbrella, July gradually found the feeling of joining Jinlan.
From a stranger to a loyal sister.
This made her feel warm as an orphan suddenly feel her heart warm, as if she had returned to the tribulations she had with Bu Jingxian back then.
‘I am her sister? Sister…I have a sister!’
Speaking of which, Bu Jingxian flew to the city where Chu State was located that day, and it was not long before it flew over the city.
Looking at the ground from afar, I found that the Chu army's military law was strict. Even if the sun was shining and the weather was hot, no soldier showed fatigue. He would rather sweat from the scorching sun than to neglect his duties and seek the shade to hide from the sun.
The Chu army of the Tiger and Wolf Army has the reputation of the world's number one army. At this moment, Bu Jingxian felt that it was not a false reputation.
The Chu army under the city was surprised when they saw the people in the air, but they did not dare to forget their duties. They called out warning messages. A large group of Chu soldiers and archers all set their bows and arrows, and many soldiers also adjusted the machine to the high altitude.
A general Chu called out, "Is it the one who came here that the Immortal Lord of the Soul?"
Bu Jingxian slowly flapped his light wings and gradually flew down. At the same time, he shouted, "Please tell Prince Chu to visit Zuoban."
The Chu general agreed to report that the Chu army on the walls of the city walls were still on guard and did not dare to relax at all.
In fact, Chu Gaoge had already learned the news at this time, walked out of the door and looked up at the left bank in mid-air.
"I didn't expect that the rumors in Wei State were true." Chu Gaoge felt complicated in his heart. He felt that the Left Bank was lucky, and he felt that it was really hard to accept that people could actually get the power of flying to the gods. He also felt that the threat to the Soul Army in the future was extraordinary.
"Please come in and talk."
Chu Gaoge did not wait for anyone to report, so he told him to turn his body into the room.
Chu Gaoge was very clear about Bu Jingxian's purpose of coming. The Northern King left the matter of Zhou and rushed to Yan. The one he did must be the martyrdom army who rescued Yan's soul.
‘Beijun let the overall situation of Zhou State be ignored and actually rushed to Yan State in person. Could it be that Zhou State had not planned to attack South Korea? He clearly got the news that Zhou State would raise an army to attack Chen after pacifying the northern part and borrowed the opportunity from South Korea. Could it be that this was not a false plan to destroy Guo? Let’s hear what he said…’
When Bu Jingxian was taken to the main hall, he saw two maids holding big fans on their left and right sides, giving Chu Gaoge the air to sit in the center, closing his eyes and sleeping.
"Report to the Crown Prince, the King of Northern is here to visit."
"Oh?" Chu Gaoge agreed in a daze as if he had just woken up. Then he opened his eyes and looked at Bu Jingxian. He immediately smiled enthusiastically and stood up to greet him, "I don't know if it's Beijun coming, but I'm not here to welcome him."
"Crown Prince Chu is polite. Today, Zuobank is here to visit, so there are many troubles."
Bu Jingxian actually saw Chu Gaoge in mid-air, and knew that he deliberately pretended to have never witnessed his soul and willpower, and he did not point it out.
Both sides divided the host and the guest sat down, and the servants brought tea.
Chu Gaoge found that Bu Jingxian did not call himself the Northern King during this meeting, but was straightforward. He vaguely realized that he now regards the Divine Soul Army as the main one, and does not care about the Northern King titled by the Emperor Zhou.
"I don't know what Beijun is doing?"
Bu Jingxian gave up the first set of rhetoric he had originally planned and found that Chu Gaoge did not intend to form an alliance, but was just intentionally making more demands through negotiations.
He then went straight in and said, "This time, it means that the martyrdom army wants to form an alliance with your country and jointly attack Yan."
Chu Gaoge couldn't help but laugh and said, "The suggestion of Beijun is really interesting. It's just Yan State, and our Chu State is easy to take. The martyrdom army can't even resist the 200,000 Yan Army. What can we help?"
Chu Gaoge was about to listen to Bu Jingxian's words, but unexpectedly saw him standing up and bowing and saying goodbye, "Since your country has no such intention, say goodbye."
Chu Gaoge immediately felt that he was in a passive state. Although he had known that the Left Bank was powerful, he still didn't expect that he was so powerful. He was as wise as him, and had already analyzed the interests before seeing the Left Bank. It was of course a pleasant situation to see the demise of the Martyrdom Army. However, the situation in Yan State was bad, and Zheng State was now going to send troops to attack again.
If the Chu State refused to martyrdom, he would have immediately sought Yan State to form an alliance with the left bank. The Yan State, facing the disaster of destruction, would never refuse such an alliance force. Not only would he agree to form an alliance, but he would also give him supplies.
Now an alliance is equivalent to seizing the enemy and attacking them, destroying Yan State first, and then removing the Martyrdom Army. Chu Gaoge knew that if the Martyrdom Army was an alliance with Yan State, it would be a very stupid decision. At this moment, even though he knew that Bu Jingxian was trying to get, he had to admit defeat. He quickly stood up and chased after him for two steps, laughed and said, "Northern King stayed!"
Bu Jingxian said lightly, stopped and turned around and looked at Chu Gaoge and said, "What else does Prince Chu have to do? There is still something important about the Left Bank. Since the Chu State does not need a martyrdom army as an ally, I really don't know what else to say at this moment?"
