Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 462 King Wu, a man of integrity and integrity

What the shepherdess said surprised Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others, including Qingji.

However, this seems to be the right thing to do!

A country like Suiguo, a small country with few people, is living a precarious life, and it may be wiped out one day.

Therefore, Suiren doesn't care whether his country will perish.

In a world of great contention, nations frequently fight wars, the strong will be strong, and the weak will perish!
Just like what the shepherdess said, the country's major affairs are naturally planned by the monarch and nobles, and have nothing to do with them, the low-level Li Shu.

Since the coalition forces besieged Suicheng, they have basically done nothing to the Li Shu in the surrounding places, and Suiren can still live the same life as before.

That being the case, why should Suiren fight against the coalition forces?
This is a very simple and easy to understand truth.

It's not that Suiren doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to his country, but that they really have no choice whether to perish or not.

Just want to keep living!

This is not only the voice of the shepherdess, but also the voice of Suiren, the Chu people.

The feud between Wu and Chu is not impossible to resolve.

The human heart is fleshy.

If your life is better under the rule of Wu than under the rule of Chu, why should the people of Chu fight against Wu Jun?

"You are a little girl, you really know a lot."

Qingji laughed lightly.

"Young general, don't look down on me. I'm going to get married next year!"

The girl said angrily.

By this time, the girl's guard against Qingji and the others had basically let go.

"I don't know what to call a girl?"

"My name is 'Qing', everyone calls me Ah Qing."

"Miss Aqing, I want to buy your flock of sheep, what is the asking price?"

Hearing this, Ah Qing pouted and said, "I can't be the master. These sheep don't belong to me, I'm herding the sheep for the master."

"Where is your master?"

"I was trapped in Suicheng by you guys."

It turned out to be a noble from Sui Kingdom!
There are not a few shepherds or cowherds like Ah Qing.

They are generally employed by the nobles to help the nobles herd cattle and sheep.

Like Confucius, as a down-and-out aristocrat, he was from a poor family when he was young. In order to earn money to subsidize his family, he had to graze cattle in other people's homes.

"This is even better!"

Before Qingji could speak, Bo Tong standing behind him said with a mean smile, "Girl, your flock of sheep has been requisitioned!"

"By... why!"

Ah Qing stared at her beautiful eyes and said.

"Our army requisitioned this flock of sheep, that's for your face!"

"Furthermore, these are not your sheep. The owner of this flock of sheep is an enemy of our army. Now we have discovered and captured them. Isn't that a spoil of war?"

Bo Tong said with certainty.

This sentence sounds fine!

Ah Qing was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, looked at Qingji, then at Bo Tong, and said with a cold snort, "You are so talented and very cunning!"

"If the owner finds out that the flock of sheep is gone after the war, wouldn't he cause trouble for me? I won't be able to pay for it at that time, and I'm afraid I will pay for it with my life!"

"Girl, do you know who this person standing in front of you is?"

Bo Tong swaggered to Qingji's side, and introduced solemnly, "This is the king of our country of Wu! It is your honor that King Wu wants to eat your sheep, so why bother talking?"

"Wu... King Wu?"

The girl Ah Qing clicked her tongue and said, "Is it the monarch?"

"Exactly!"

"Even the king of a country can't let me do something against my will!"

Seeing such a stubborn young girl, Ah Qing, Bo Tong gritted his teeth with hatred, and said, "Bold! You seem to be really reckless..."

"Brother!"

Qingji stopped Bo Tong, who was about to get mad, and waved his hand to make the latter back down.

Bo Tong was not convinced, but he couldn't disobey Qingji's order, so he quickly retreated behind Qingji.

"slightly!"

Ah Qing still didn't forget to playfully make a face at Bo Tong.

Seeing this, Qingji was a little dumbfounded, but still stepped forward and said slowly: "Girl, it's the so-called thing of being entrusted by others and being loyal to others. Although a girl comes from a humble background, she understands this kind of truth, which is very valuable."

"The widow doesn't have any money, but I don't want your sheep in vain."

"In this way, the widow will deposit this sword with you first, and after the battle, I will redeem it with enough money. What do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, Qingji took off the saber from his waist—Longyuan Sword.

You know, this Longyuan sword is a sword of integrity and purity, forged by two sword masters, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.

Priceless!
Moreover, it is Qingji's saber, which is equivalent to Wu Wang's sword. It has great symbolic meaning, and it is by no means measurable by money.

Ah Qing didn't take the Longyuan Sword, but tilted her head and said, "How much is your saber worth?"

"Hey!"

Bo Tong couldn't help but jumped out, pointed at Ah Qing and said sharply: "You little girl is really blind! This Longyuan sword is priceless!"

"That is to say, even if you use it to buy a city, it's okay!"

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Qing couldn't help taking a deep breath, then shook her head and said, "This is too expensive, I can't take it."

Immediately, Ah Qing pointed to a square jade pendant on Qingji's waist, and said, "Your Majesty, that jade pendant of yours is very nice, can you use it to mortgage with me temporarily?"

"..."

Qingji's jade pendant is the Nine Dragons Jade Order, which symbolizes the status of King Wu.

But all officials and local officials in the state of Wu can recognize Qingji's identity when they see this jade pendant!

Not to mention its high-quality texture and beautiful appearance, what is more important is its symbolic meaning.

Qing Ji hesitated for a moment, then took off the Nine Dragon Jade Order from his waist, and put it in Ah Qing's hand.

"Your Majesty..."

Sun Wu, Bo Tong and the others behind him all wanted to speak out to dissuade them, but Qing Ji waved their hands, signaling them not to repeat themselves.

Qingji doesn't really care much about a jade pendant, something outside of his body.

At worst, after returning to Jinling, just build another piece!

The young girl Ah Qing stroked the Nine Dragons Jade Order, then handed it over to Qing Ji.

"Miss Ah Qing, you are..."

"Giggle cluck."

Ah Qing let out a clear and melodious laugh like a silver bell, and said, "My lord, I believe in you. You are an honest and noble person, and you will definitely keep your word."

"So there is no need for collateral, just take the flock of sheep."

"Thank you!"

Ah Qing was obviously testing Qingji just now.

And Qingji's performance also made Ah Qing believe that with his personality, he can't do things that break his promise and get fat.

Furthermore, if Ah Qing is really greedy for money, no matter if he asks for Qingji's Longyuan Sword or the Nine Dragon Jade Order as collateral, I believe he can make a fortune from this, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
"Yeah! It's raining!"

Ah Qing was startled, and saw that the sky that was originally covered with dark clouds was already falling with light rain.
