One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 127
Why were Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo targeted by Jing Jueguo?

Gao Gu has also observed the performances of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo along the way. Judging from their performance, it is indeed the first time to come to the Western Regions. Gao Gu is still a little confident in his eyesight and observation ability.

But why does Jingjueguo want two people who have never been to the Western Regions?
In the past, my eldest brother said that Queen Jingjue has a certain ability to predict. Could it be that Queen Jingjue's prophecy came to something?
Gao Gu's inner surprise and shock were as turbulent as the ocean currents in the deep sea, but his face was still as calm as the sea surface. After reading it, he closed the portrait again so that Gao Lu would not see it. He was still young. Not deep enough, it is easy to reveal flaws.

Don't look at Zeluo's reckless appearance, but he is a caring person with a heart of roses.
If Zeluo was really just a reckless man who only believed in power, when Gao Gu offered him advice back then, he would not have seen the importance of this strategy to Qiuci.

If someone has an inherent prejudice against him because of his appearance, then he really falls into his trap.

Gao Gu said to Gao Lu: "You go out first, the king and I have something to talk about."

Gao Lu led the order: "Here!"

Then, after saying goodbye to Zeroba, he turned and left.

For the situation that Gao Lu did not go to him, Luo was not angry. The Western Regions have not yet established the set of monarchs, monarchs, ministers and ministers. The current Western Regions are more like Western lordships.

My subordinates, not my subordinates.

It is for this reason that Zeluo did not spare any effort to implement the official system in the Central Plains brought about by Gao Gu, and wanted to strengthen the power of the central Qiuci.

Zeluo said disapprovingly, "This is your son and nephew, the sage. If you have anything to say to him."

Gao Gu's face became solemn: "Your Majesty, a Confucian master in the Central Plains once said: If the ruler is not secretive, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secretive, he will lose his life;

Zeluo actually didn't understand what Gao Gu said, what Confucianism, what kind of thing.He only learned the language of the Central Plains, but did not comprehend the culture of the Central Plains.

Zeluo still boasted: "The sage is right, but you really acted cautiously."

Gao Gu handed the portrait back to Zeluo: "Your Majesty, have the elites of the country ever said why they wanted people on this list?"

Taking the portrait back at will, Zeluo said in a playful tone:
"Hey, I heard that it was an oracle. It was an oracle given to her by the god that Queen Jingjue's cousin believed in, asking her to find these two people. That's why Wuchannagahai sent messengers to order the countries in the Western Regions. "

As a foreigner, Ze Luo never believed in the existence of the snake god believed by the Jingjue Kingdom. If this were true, then the 36 countries in the Western Regions would still exist, and they would have been captured by the Jingjue Kingdom long ago.

However, he is still very jealous and jealous about the means by which Jingjueguo can create aliens. It is also because of the existence of such secret techniques that he did not use force to resist the rule of Queen Jingjue.

"As for the vague person at the end, it seems to be an assassin. It is said that the assassin sneaked in front of Queen Jingjue under the protection of Jingjueyiren."

"Unfortunately, he was not good at learning and was unable to kill Wuchan Nagahai with one sword."

When Zeluo talked about this strange person, he still tutted his tongue incessantly. He felt very pity that the assassin missed and failed to kill the Queen Jingjue.

"I was about to ask the Grand Commander to send someone to post the wanted notice in Yancheng. I didn't expect you to return to Qiuci, sage. This is really God's will."

The Dadu Lieutenant is the prime minister of Qiuci, the deputy of the king of Qiuci,

Of course, saying this is to put gold on his face, and Qiuci Country is just a big county, and the Dadu Weicheng is at most equivalent to a county chief.

Gao Gu secretly thought in his heart that it was very dangerous. Fortunately, he came to the Qiuci Palace first when he arrived in Qiuci. Otherwise, if people saw Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo entering and leaving the Gao Family Chamber of Commerce, he would be passive.

Once Qiuci King Zeluo was preconceived, what he said would be considered a refusal.

Gao Gu closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, then pretended to have a change in his face:

"Your Majesty, this is a fake way to kill Guo."

Zeluo was a little confused: "What? Using fake knives? Fighting tigers? Is this to show force? People from the Central Plains really know how to play. I'll try it next time."

Gao Gu was a little dumbfounded, but Luo just barely learned Chinese, and didn't know much about other things in the Central Plains:
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I meant to say that Jing Jueguo's purpose is not as simple as finding three people."

Zeluo said, "Oh, sage, please elaborate."

Gao Gu cupped his hands and said, "Think about it, Your Majesty, what would happen if these three people couldn't be found?"

Zeluo was a little puzzled: "I can't find it? What can I do? Uchannagahai can still trouble me because of this. It's just a matter of paying more tribute in the future."

Gao Gu shook his head: "That's just one aspect. If the king has never been able to find these three people, will the emissary of the Jingjue Kingdom stay in Qiuci?"

"What if this assassin didn't exist at all?"

"does not exist."

Zeluo murmured, his face seemed to understand, he is also a smart person, Gao Gu lightly, he understood the key.

The relationship between the 36 countries in the Western Regions and Jingjue is similar to the relationship between the various vassal states and Zhou in the Zhou Dynasty. Although they have to pay tribute to the King of Zhou every year, the internal affairs of each vassal state still have the final say.

But now there are envoys sent by the suzerain country in the country, representing the will of the Queen Jingjue. If he is allowed to stay in Qiuci for a long time, it will be a reward, if he takes the opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of Qiuci.

At that time, who is the king of Qiuci, is Qiuci the country of Qiuci, or the county of Qiuci that has become a subordinate of the Jingjue country?

Then Luo Yue thought the more ugly his face, and said in a heavy and murderous tone:

"Jing Jue has crossed the line, aren't you afraid of making me anxious to fight her?"

I'm not afraid,
Jingjue has an army formed by foreigners, with a full thousand people. Even the cavalry formed by the Xiongnu with the strength of the whole country is only a mixture of foreigners and ordinary people.

And these 1000 people are all aliens who can fight a hundred with one, and they can be regarded as strategic weapons that can determine the world in one battle in the era of cold weapons.

The army of Qiuci itself is only more than a thousand people. In addition to the alien king of Qiuci, an army of this size is already considered a strong army in the Western Regions.

But such a force was vulnerable in front of Jing Jue, and Jing Jue Kingdom, relying on the ghost cave, had already broken the balance between the forces of the Western Regions.

Only one country can compete with the other 36 countries.

After thinking about it, Zeluo sighed helplessly, but then looked at Gao Gu with anticipation:
"Don't you know if the sages have a good plan?"

Gao Gu's face was a little embarrassed: "This, suddenly heard about this, there is nothing to do for a while."

"Oh, it's bound to be strong."

Hearing that Gao Gu couldn't do anything better, Luo was a little disillusioned and waved his hand to Gao Gu and said:
"That's right, the sage was dragged by me to talk about state affairs as soon as he arrived in Qiuci. I'm afraid he's already very tired, or he should rest in the palace."

Gao Gu refused: "Your Majesty, the etiquette cannot be abolished, I am a foreign minister, and I cannot live in the palace, which will disrupt the order."

"There are too many things to pay attention to in this Central Plains. In this case, I will send someone to send the sage home."

Gao deliberately said meaningfully: "No need, the sage should send these people to take care of Jingjue's messenger."

Hearing Gao Gu mention Jingjue, Zeluo's face sank. Hearing his profound words, he suddenly realized:

"That's right, the sage didn't mention that I forgot. The messenger of Jingjue is here. I have to ' entertain' him. How can I make him lack a servant?"

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

After Gao Gu left, the servants in the palace of Qiuci reported to Zeluo that it was the Grand Commander who came to see him.

Asking the servants to bring Da Duwei Cheng over, Ze Luo Ke was not as polite to him as he was to Gao Gu.

Zeluo said coldly, "Why are you here?"

The Grand Commander said to Zeluo, "Your Majesty, Gumo's caravan wants to stay in Yancheng for a while."

As the main point of transportation in the Western Regions, all countries in the Western Regions are accustomed to buying and selling goods in Qiuci to supplement their own needs.

Zeluo frowned: "Have they left yet? That Prince Gumo is still in Yancheng? I thought they had left long ago."

Dadu Weicheng said: "Yes, Prince Gumo seems to be ill again. Prince Gumo has often visited the market to collect herbal medicines to treat Prince Gumo's illness, so Gumo's team has not left."

Zeluo pouted: "Ordinary people's bodies are really poor. Forget it, this is just a small matter. When they want to leave is their business."

Then, before he could speak, Zeluo said to him with a suffocating aura:

"Send more people to 'serve' that elite messenger."

Zeluo said word by word:

"Remember, let them stay by the side of the emissary at all times, even if he takes a sip of water in Qiuci, I must know!"

At this moment, Ze Luo finally showed a heroic aura who was king in the Western Regions.

Dadu Weicheng understood the seriousness of the matter and said yes.

After the Grand Commander left, Zeluo returned to his bedroom, stopped halfway and slapped his forehead:
"Oh, I forgot to ask the sage if I still want to put up that portrait."

I wanted to call Gao Gu back, but then I thought about Gao Gu today, I'm afraid I'm already exhausted, I'd better find him tomorrow, just in time to ask Gao Gu if he has come up with a way to fight Jing Jue.

······
On the other side, after leaving the palace, Gao Lu couldn't help but preach to his uncle:

"I didn't expect King Qiuci to speak Chinese so well."

But Gao Gu only paid attention to walking and ignored him. Gao Gu thought that his performance today had disappointed his uncle, so he was a little scared and at a loss.

When walking out of the Qiuci Palace a street and passing through a deserted alley, Gao Gu suddenly grabbed him while no one was around, and spoke to Gao Lu with a serious expression:
"Go to your Uncle Yue, tell him, and ask him to bring Xiu Wu brothers and sisters back immediately, be quick!"

Gao Lu had never seen his uncle with such a serious expression, understood the importance of the matter, and immediately nodded and said:

"Here."
