Chapter 222 Flower Tea
Wuyue Kingdom, Tianmu City.
This city is not big, built with loess slabs, and has a simplicity of shape and a long-standing historical spirit.
It was built a thousand years ago and was the place where the Yue clan started. Now, the Yue clan has four vassals, and its influence is spread all over Wu and Yue. However, there is a hidden rule within the clan that the only vassal lord who occupy this city is the real direct line, and the rest are side branches.
"I don't know how long the glory of the thousand-year-old Yue clan can last with the country?"
A ox cart slowly drove into the city and the curtains were lifted up.
Yue Qing looked at the pedestrians passing by and the fat dogs running around, and thought of the secret reports he had received recently, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
The ox cart walked for a while and stopped in front of a large mansion.
The house covers a large area and has high walls on the outside, like a castle, with high arrow towers at all corners.
Overall, it is like the inner city of this city, but in fact it is almost the same.
Among the huge castle, thousands of people from Yue clan live in it, which is the true core.
"Who is coming?"
In front of the towering door, the convoy of Yueqing was undoubtedly stopped.
Although his car had a black black bird flag representing Yue's family, his identity must be confirmed again.
"Your eyes are blind, and even Lord Fengjun cannot recognize you!"
A tattoo guard immediately stepped forward, scolded loudly, and showed the token.
"So it's Lord Qingfengjun!"
The soldiers at the door immediately knelt down and saluted, with both enthusiasm and admiration in their eyes.
Successfully ascended the fourth throne of the Yue clan, Yueqing is well-known among the Yue clan. Although he is regarded as a lucky person because of his method of tribute to the Night Pearl of Canghai, no one dares to say that in front of him.
When one person went in to report, the other person led Yue Qing, walked through several corridors, and entered a side hall.
This side hall is made of bamboo, and it is cool all over, with a sense of tranquility.
When Yue Qing sat down, a maid served tea.
This teacup is translucent, suspected to be glazed, but its light transmittance is not very high. It should be made of a piece of natural ore, which is very exquisite and luxurious.
In the tea, a strange flower bone was soaked, the petals were spread out one after another, the foundation red line, the bright yellow stamens were in full view, and it also brought a strange fragrance.
"Good tea!"
Yue Qing just took a sip and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother, the exquisite enjoyment here has been further improved."
"Haha... Qingdi praised it!"
In the authentic tea room, accompanied by hearty laughter, a man in the robe strode into the hall.
He was in his forties, with disheveled hair, wearing a kudzu robe and wooden clogs. He looked very simple, but his demeanor was self-developed.
"Brother!"
Yue Qing quickly got up and saluted.
This person is the current Yue family’s parent, and the lord of Tianmu City.
"Brother Qing, you have been enthroned and enfeoffed, so that my Yue family's strength will be expanded by 20%, which is also a contribution to the family..." The man in Ge's robe smiled and said, "Sit down, don't be polite!"
"Thank you brother!"
Yue Qing saluted, but he just stared at the simple and light yellow robe on his eldest brother's body, and there was some confusion between his eyebrows.
"When I was forty years old, I was concerned about the opinions of people who were surprised. Wearing must be beautiful and jewelry must be jade... But after forty, I became clearer and clearer. In life, enjoyment is the key. Although this robe is not as soft as brocade, it is very comfortable. I put it on, so why bother thinking about people who are surprised..."
The man in the robe smiled faintly, and a layer of sweat was faintly seen on his forehead.
"That's right, listening to my brother's words today makes me suddenly enlightened..." Yue Qing's nose moved, but he knew in his heart that this elder brother, "Fei River", admired Taoism, but could not do the skills of meditation day and night, regulating breathing and refining qi. He liked to go against the sword, refining elixirs and taking medicine in order to achieve immortality.
With the financial resources of Yue, there were naturally some Taoist people who defected, and a few of them were some Taoist.
Although the elixirs refined cannot survive forever, they can still be used to warm winter and cool in summer, kill five insects and cure all diseases.
However, some of the pills and pills are dry and hot in nature, and they must be "Xing San" after taking them. At that time, the person was as if he had reached a fairyland and was floating in the celestial world. His skin became ten times more sensitive, and he was sweating constantly. He could only wear clothes with wide-sleeved and big robe. At this time, it seemed that this elder brother must have just taken San.
But naturally, there is no need to say much about these.
The two chatted for a few more times, and Yuehe asked with a smile: "Brother Qing, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. This time, you will have something to teach me!"
"As my elder brother knows, there are two things here!" Yue Qing bowed his hand, with a solemn expression, and then looked at the servants and maids around him.
"You guys go out and let us brothers speak freely!"
After crossing the river, he knew his intentions and waved his hands. The beautiful maids and capable servants quietly left the hall.
Just seeing the spirit of these servants and the reaction of the prohibition, Yue Qing felt a sudden heart, knowing that this clan brother has great ambitions, but he just can't get the time and can only entertain himself with all kinds of pleasures.
He paused and said, "I came today, but there were two things! One of them is that there seemed to be something unusual about Chu."
The Chu State intends to annex Wu and Yue, but his intention is obvious. He has fought several times in history, so there is no need to say much.
It is no secret this time to prepare for the funeral while Wujiu is nearly forty years old.
When he mentioned this, Yuehe smiled: "The king can live for at least several years if he gets your tribute. What else can I worry about?"
"The contemporary King of Chu is determined and has decided on the siege. I am afraid that it will slow down because the king recovers from illness..." Yue Qing frowned.
"You are too worried. If I say something, you can probably feel relieved..."
Yuehe smiled: "The State of Chu has also had some civil strife recently. Some people rebelled in Kunyi City, and the momentum is quite strong. It seems that there are vassal princes from all over the country secretly support it. The leader actually defeated the Chu generals who came to attack, and the momentum is greatly boosted..."
"How is this... possible?"
Yue Qing's eyes widened.
What surprised him was not that someone rebelled in Chu, but that the strange rebels could defeat the official army!
You should know that these temporary rebels were short of military ordnance, and the soldiers had not been trained, so people were unstable.
To be honest, it would be good if five of them could fight one regular army.
Just like peasant uprisings in ancient times, they were often suppressed by regular rulings in the imperial court, which were far less than the number of people.
"Is that the leader of the traitor also a talented general?" As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Who is it?"
"The man's name is Gao Xuantong, but it's nothing. Although he defeated the Chu State's siege, he knew that he was not an opponent, so he avoided his edge and fled after a battle..."
Yuehedao: "After this incident, the King of Chu was furious and was searching the country. The so-called "to defend against foreign countries must first settle the internal situation. His backyard caught fire, but he didn't care about us for a while."
"That's a good thing!"
Yue Qing was a little grateful to Gao Xuantong, thinking that the other party's practice of being unfavorable to others and attracting firepower was really a...a great person.
He didn't care about his brother's news earlier than him.
Yuehe is the leader of the Yue clan, which is natural, but after he returns, he should be able to obtain specific information within a few days, right?
"Come on... I have spent a lot of effort to study this flower tea. Starting from soil cultivation and fertilization... there are all kinds of processes!"
The river is not slow, so please ask Yueqing to taste tea: "If you like it, I will give you a pound. By the way, what about the second thing?"
"This second piece..." Yue Qing took a deep breath, his expression was even more solemn and solemn than before: "But it is the whereabouts of the Night Pearl in Canghai..."
"Isn't Canghai Night Pearl already in your hands? You've replaced it with it... wait!" Yuehe was shocked and his back straightened a little: "What you said is... that emperor-grade?"
He was originally idle clouds and wild cranes, as if everything in the world was wandering around, but at this time he stood up and walked: "This is really a big deal!"
The emperor's rank in the sea of night pearls can heal the Wu Yue King's clan!
In other words, if you get this treasure, the King of Wu and Yue will not have to worry about the short-lived curse of 40 years old in the future.
This is an extremely huge change for the Wu Yue Kingdom!
Although the Yue clan is a royal party, it is actually a number of vassal forces in China, and the real position is still up.
The impact this brings must be carefully considered.
After walking a few steps across the river, he asked, "Where is it?"
Seeing that he just mentioned something, the eldest brother reacted. Yue Qing secretly praised in his heart and said, "East Sea...Yunzhong Island!"
"Island in the Cloud?"
Crossing the river is a little confused.
"Brother, you don't involve in maritime trade, so it's natural that Yunzhong Island is a force in the East China Sea that rose a few years ago. Its leader called himself "Yunzhongjun" and killed the demon Kun. His cultivation is unfathomable... and he is also closely related to Izumo and the mermaid."
Yue Qing said in detail.
This information was collected after he received the letter from his daughter and sent someone to collect it: "Recently, Yun Zhongjun sent a message to me, hoping to offer Emperor to rank the night pearl of the sea to the king! For rewards!"
The King of Wu and Yue once offered a reward for the world and gave the title of the king as a reward, which was inevitable.
After crossing the river, he walked a few steps: "It has something to do with the mermaids, so this matter is a bit credible. It would be a bit unfair to have one more lord in Wu and Yue, but the king... what are you going to do?"
"Can you still refuse?" Yue Qing smiled bitterly: "Without our channel, he will find other channels, and even the king can't wait... After agreeing, he has a lot of affection for the king and has also met this Yun Zhongjun. If he refuses this time, the king will hold a grudge afterwards."
Although their Yue family has formed a system, providing private taxes, appointing subordinates on their own, and having their own private soldiers, it is always very bad to be remembered by the monarch of a country.
"This is..." Yuehe nodded. If he was the other party, he would definitely have to prepare some secret tricks to prevent Yue from playing with a flower gun and passing the news first. This is the best way to prevent it: "In this way... it can only be like this. Haha... This world has become interesting after all. It seems that in the future, I will take a break from my busy schedule and spend a lot of time on my elixir and seeking immortality, haha..."
