Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 132 Connecting the Central Plains

Robber Zhi, who survived the catastrophe, broke out in a cold sweat from the fright.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough just now, the thief whose chest was pierced by the long gun would be his fate!

However, the following Robber Zhi was inevitable.

The military chariot that Qingji was in slammed into the military chariot where Bandit Zhi was standing, and Bandit Zhi's body shook suddenly, almost lost his balance and fell under the horse.

At this time, Qingji had already jumped up, slashed the blood-stained Longyuan sword in his hand, and before the thief next to Robo Zhi could react, he was decapitated!

"drink!"

Robber Zhi shouted violently, swung his sword and slashed at Qingji.

With a sound of "铛", the bronze sword in Robber Zhi's hand hit the Longyuan sword, breaking instantly!

The broken blade was thrown out.

Robber Zhi was astonished.

You know, his bronze sword is not made of ordinary materials!

Who would have thought that it could be cut off by Qingji's saber?

Robber Zhi didn't have time to think about it, facing Qingji's long sword, he could only turn his head to hide.

However, Qingji's power is not only due to Longyuan Sword!

Qing Ji kicked out suddenly, and Robber Zhi could block it with his arms, looking very embarrassed.

Qing Ji was in a position to hold onto Robo Zhi's wrist, grabbed Robo Zhi's wrist, and then kicked Robo Zhi's thigh down.

Robber Zhi couldn't help groaning in pain, and knelt down on one knee, and Qingji's Longyuan sword was placed on his neck!

"The Bandit Zhi has been captured!"

"The robber Zhi has been bound! How dare you and other thieves act wildly?"

"Down! Down!"

Seeing this, Xiong Zidan, Xu Menchao and others immediately shouted loudly.

The tribe under Robber Zhi's command saw that their leader had been captured alive and their lives were at stake, they could not help but look at each other in blank dismay, and did not continue to fight with Kong Qiu, Zilu and others.

The situation on the battlefield instantly became stagnant!
A group of thieves did not dare to act rashly.

"Root Zhi, ask your men to lay down their weapons."

Qing Ji grabbed Robber Zhi's shoulder with one hand, and at the same time pressed the Longyuan Sword against his neck, the threat was self-evident!

If Robber Zhi refuses to follow, his life may be in danger!

"If I wait, may I survive?"

"My life, Paul, is safe."

Qingji just replied lightly.

Hearing this, Bandit Zhi opened his mouth, after all he didn't choose to resist!

After all, the man behind him is extremely brave, and he has his life in his hands, how dare Robber Zhi act recklessly?
In line with the principle that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, Bandit Zhi finally gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Drop all your weapons!"

"Lord!"

"lay down your weapon!"

Bandit Zhi yelled sharply, and the thieves around finally put down their weapons one after another, shook their heads, and caught them like eggplants beaten by frost.

Just one order can make all the thieves give up resistance, which shows that the bandit Zhi is strict in running the army and has the style of a general.

His prestige in the hearts of the thieves is also extremely high!
Immediately, Robber Zhi was tied up, and most of the property looted by the thieves returned to the original owner.

"Gentleman, I'm visiting Confucius. I don't know what to call a gentleman?"

Seeing that Robber Zhi and the other thieves had been controlled, Kong Qiu followed and saluted Qingji with a very modest attitude, which made people feel good about him.

Obviously, Kong Qiu planned to make friends with Qing Ji!

His intuition told Kong Qiu that the young man in front of him had an extraordinary background!
"Sir, just call me taboo."

"It turned out to be a jealous gentleman!"

Confucius was not without some regrets in his heart.

Qingji didn't reveal his first and last name, obviously he didn't intend to have a close friendship with Confucius!

While Qingji and Kong Qiu were exchanging greetings, many huge warships suddenly descended down the swift river.

A crimson banner was hung above the mast, and the armored soldiers in strong clothes stood on the deck, looking ahead with a cold face, and they all exuded a kind of evil spirit that was almost suffocating.

"Wu Jun!"

"It's Wu Jun! I didn't expect Wu Jun's reinforcements to be so fast!"

"Could it be that they already knew that Robber Zhi would lead his troops to rob business travelers here?"

Everyone was very surprised.

When the warship docked, the leaders, Sun Ping, Sun Wu and his son, hurried down, pushed aside the crowd, knelt down in front of Qingji without any explanation, and said with lowered hands, "Your Majesty! I'm waiting for the rescue to come too late, please ask your Majesty." Forgive me!"

"what?"

Everyone present couldn't help but screamed.

"Your Majesty! Could it be... that this brave gentleman is the King of Wu?"

"King Wu is really young! He is really as rumoured, with incredible bravery, tearing tigers and leopards apart!"

Kong Qiu, Cao Wei and others were shocked by Qingji's true identity.

Judging from Qingji's words, deeds, clothes, and clothes, it was not easy for them to guess Qingji's identity, but they never thought that he was the king of Wu!

Qingji just laughed it off, let Sun Ping, Sun Wu and his father get up, he looked around again, looked at the merchants and scholars, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, what happened today has shocked you all!"

"This is all the deficiency of my country of Wu!"

"It is my opinion that from now on, in order to cater to the world's business travelers and scholars to enter Wu, the state of Wu will widen the rivers, overhaul the official roads, build bridges, and clean up all banditry in the territory!"

"Please spread the word, Qingji is very grateful!"

After saying that, Qingji bowed deeply to the people around him again!
He put his posture so low, which really won everyone's favor.

Cao Wei was even more excited, and responded: "Please rest assured, King Wu! The sincerity of Wu Guo to welcome the world's scholars and merchants to Wu is enough!"

"After I turn back, I will sing for Wu!"

"Exactly!"

With Wu Wang Qingji's face-to-face guarantee, who dares to doubt Wu Guo's sincerity?

Furthermore, Qingji's defeat of Robber Zhi and other thieves was not only a life-saving grace to them, but also allowed the merchants to avoid unreasonable disasters and keep their goods.

How could they not be grateful to Dade, and to promote the sincerity of Wu Guo's major changes for Qingji?

After the matter came to an end, Qingji ordered Grand Sima Sun Ping to transport the scholars, merchants and all their goods to the other side by warship first, which made everyone even more grateful to Qingji.

……

After Qingji returned to the Wu Palace, he summoned all the nine ministers, including Wu Zixu, the county magistrate of Wudu, as well as Ji Zha, Sun Wu, and Ji Ran, to the Zide Palace for discussion.

Sitting high on the throne, Qingji sat upright, glanced at the ministers and officials under the majesty's platform, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, I have benefited a lot from this private visit."

"My state of Wu is promoting new laws and lowering tariffs to cater to merchants from all over the world entering Wu for business, but the preparations are not complete!"

"There are many mountains, rivers and swamps in Wudi, dense water networks, and convenient shipping. However, the official roads and bridges are in disrepair for a long time, or there are only rugged mountain roads, which are not convenient for business travel."

"In the rainy season, the roads are even more muddy, and the bridges may be in danger of collapsing."

"Around the mountains and rivers, there are also thieves and beasts haunting the roads, robbing people, and killing people. The merchants and travelers are very afraid of them, and they are afraid that they will never enter Wu again."

After a pause, Qingji said loudly again: "That's why, according to my widow's wishes, I, the State of Wu, will build official roads and bridges, open mountains when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering waters, so as to connect the Central Plains, so that all businessmen and travelers who enter Wu can flow freely." No hindrance!"
