Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 431
"Idiot! Idiot! Who gave you the guts to kill Wu's eldest son! The son of Wu Wang Qingji?"

"Die! Why don't you die!"

In the Chu Palace, Bai Gongsheng almost passed out when he heard that the mansion of Prince Heng was besieged by his own soldiers and set on fire.

At that time, Xiong Yiliao got a tip-off from one of Zixi's entourages, knowing that Zixi and Shen Baoxu had hid in Wu Heng's mansion, he didn't take it seriously, and led his troops directly to besiege.

Xiong Yiliao didn't pay attention to a mere proton of the Wu Kingdom.

Not to mention the feud between Wu and Chu, Xiong Yiliao and other rebel soldiers can take this opportunity to take revenge.

Therefore, without knowing why, the rebels burned the mansion of Prince Heng and found dozens of bloody corpses.

Among them was the corpse of a young man, about eight or nine years old, whose vague physical features were very similar to that of Young Master Heng...

When Bai Gongsheng heard the news, he was very angry, and his heart was even more shocked.

Now he only controlled Xiong Zhen, the King of Chu, and Ying Du, and he was given the notoriety of being a rebellion. If he offended Wu again, wouldn't he be courting death?
Wu Heng is Qingji's eldest son, the son of Wu, and now he died in Yingdu for some unknown reason, or was killed by Bai Gongsheng's men.

How can Qingji give up?

Without Wu Guo's support behind him, Bai Gongsheng really didn't have much confidence to face the coming masters.

At this time, Xiong Yiliao, who was reprimanded by Bai Gongsheng, knelt on the ground very aggrieved, and wanted to beg Bai Gongsheng's forgiveness, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Shi Qi on the side couldn't help sighing, stepped forward and said: "My lord, calm down."

"Calm down? Shi Qi, how do you want me to calm down?"

Bai Gongsheng pointed at Xiong Yiliao who was kneeling on the ground indignantly, and said loudly, "The state of Wu will never be kind to the death of Young Master Heng!"

"How do you want me to appease King Wu's anger?"

Hearing this, Shi Qi shook his head and said: "My lord, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to scold Xiong Yiliao any longer. The most urgent thing is, my lord should send envoys to Jinling as soon as possible to make amends to King Wu Qingji."

What Shi Qi said is not without reason.

The movement of that fire was too loud to be concealed.

"Shi Qi, in your opinion, how should I make amends?"

Bai Gongsheng frowned and asked.

"Ceded the land. My lord can use the name of the king of Chu to cede all the ten cities bordering the state of Wu, including Qianyi, Liuyi, and Yingshi in the east of the state of Chu, to the state of Wu, so as to ask for the forgiveness of the king of Wu. .”

"This……"

Bai Gongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Shiqi, it's not because I don't want to cede the land, but, can this calm Wu Wang Qingji's thunderous anger?"

"But give it a try!"

Shi Qi said in a deep voice: "Wu Wang Qingji is a hero of a generation. Such people are often mean and ungrateful, and they put the country's righteousness and their own interests first."

"If one son can be exchanged for ten cities and hundreds of miles of land, it might be a good deal for Qingji."

"good!"

Bai Gongsheng finally agreed.

……

The capital of Wu State, Jinling.

At this time, Qingji didn't know that his son Wu Heng had died in Yingdu.

When he heard that the Baigong Sheng Rebellion happened in Yingdu, Qingji was very relieved and gloated a little.

A state of Chu in civil strife is undoubtedly what Qingji would like to see the most.

Because Qingji has been scheduled to start the spring next year, and officially send troops to attack Chu.

At that time, Chu State, which is already in chaos, how to deal with it?
Of course, you can't become fat if you just eat one bite. Qingji's short-term goal is to split the state of Chu and then have to become a subsidiary state of the state of Wu.

After all, the territory of Chu State is too vast, even if the Wu army captures it, it will be difficult to defend it.

Qingji's idea was that instead of trying to put down the rebellion everywhere, it would be better to support a puppet king of Chu and let himself control it behind his back.

On Fengtian Temple.

Qing Ji was wearing a black crown suit and a flat crown on his head, sitting upright on the majesty's platform.

The ministers of Wu State, as always, sat down with Qing Ji to discuss politics, discussing the state affairs of Wu State at the current stage.

At this time, a guard in strong and sharp clothes entered the Fengtian Hall, bowed to Qingji on the majesty's platform, and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Chu, Qu Gu, begs to see you."

"The envoy of Chu State? From Yingdu?"

"Exactly."

"Xuan!"

The Chu State envoy from Yingdu was naturally from Bai Gongsheng.

According to the information obtained before Qingji, Bai Gongsheng basically controlled Yingdu and several surrounding cities, and was still gradually expanding.

However, for some unknown reason, after Bai Gongsheng's rebel army occupied Yingdu, they implemented extremely strict control. Without Bai Gongsheng's warrant, they were allowed to enter and not allowed to leave.

So Qingji wondered that Bai Gongsheng might still be busy clearing out the opposition in the city of Yingdu.

Regarding the specific situation in Yingdu, even if Qingji had a powerful intelligence agency like the Black Ice Platform, he could not know.

As for the current Chu State envoy Qu Gu, his actions were somewhat strange.

Because generally speaking, if an envoy wants to meet Qingji, he has to go through a relatively cumbersome process. He must arrive at Jinling at least a few days in advance, and then ask to see Qingji.

However, considering the connection between himself and Bai Gongsheng, Qingji didn't think otherwise at this time, and asked Qu Gu to be brought to Fengtian Hall.

Qu Gu, who stepped into Fengtian Hall, felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

Gein Qugu was afraid that the moody King Qingji of Wu would be furious when he learned of Prince Heng's death, and drag him out to quarter his body, or throw him into an oil pan to cook.

"My lord, Qu Gu, the envoy of the State of Chu, is here to meet the King of Wu! King Wu has lived for thousands of years!"

Qu Gu hurriedly bowed to Qing Ji on the Majesty's platform.

Qing Ji said with a kind smile: "Qu Zi, you don't need to be too polite. Come and give me a seat!"

"Thank you King Wu!"

Qu Gu tremblingly leaned half his body, and sat on the futon, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

However, until now, Qu Gu had no choice but to hold up a bamboo slip in his hand, and said bravely: "King Wu, this is the handwriting of the new Ling Yin Baigong (Mi Sheng) of our Chu Kingdom, please read it!"

Qingji waved his hand, motioning for the CRRC Fu Ling Jiao Hua, who was standing aside, to bring up the bamboo slips.

Originally, Qingji had an air of calmness, but after reading Bai Gongsheng's handwriting, he couldn't help but change his face.

Even Qing Ji, who has been in the top position for a long time and has developed an attitude of keeping things open over the years and being neither arrogant nor impetuous, after reading the words on the bamboo slips, he couldn't help but have a splitting headache and his face suddenly changed.

Qu Gu lowered his head, thinking something was wrong.

How could the father who heard the news of his death swallow his son's tragic death like this?
Qu Gu originally planned to find Qingji in private and confess to the matter.

It's a pity that Bai Gongsheng's request to Qu Gu is to hand over the handwriting to Qingji for review as soon as possible.

Because once Qingji heard the news of Gongzi Heng's death, he would probably lose his mind, and then recklessly send troops to attack Chu to avenge his son.

When the time comes, if the king orders him, even Qingji himself may not take it back easily!

As the king of a country, how can he change his orders from day to day?
