Chapter 107

The chaos in the world came even earlier than Chen Luo imagined.

On the tenth day after integrating the information in his hands, a flying pigeon from Qidi landed in the court. He untied the letter box tied to its leg and took out the silk book from it.

After only a cursory scan, Chen Luo did not return to the room, but called for guards, and hurried to Zhai Palace not far away.

Because Chen Luo was fully trusted, he only asked the guards to go in and report, and took him to meet Xiang Yu without even searching too much. Compared with the established process, it was shortened by more than half.

"Jiang Ning suddenly came looking for me today, must there be something urgent?" Xiang Yu guessed, and then asked, "What do you want to drink now. I said to quit drinking before, so I haven't had a drink for two months, but if you want to drink, you can drink together."

Chen Luo shook his head: "Today we have business to discuss, just drink ginger salt water."

"That's fine." Xiang Yu called his attendants and asked him to bring two glasses of ginger salt water.

This mildly salty and somewhat spicy drink has become popular in Zhai.

If we can trace the origin of its appearance, Chen Luo made it for refreshment, and Xiang Yu came to visit one day and saw this novelty, so he couldn't help but drink a cup, and thought it tasted unique and quite good, so he often made it in the palace.

With Chen Luo and Xiang Yu taking the lead in demonstrating, this ginger salt water naturally became popular among high-level officials.

And this thing is not complicated and expensive to make. Half a piece of ginger is smashed into fine shreds, and some salt grains are pinched into it. A well-off family can soak a large pot every day, and it has the effect of refreshing and replenishing salt water. Therefore, it is also popular among ordinary people. Even after they know that the founder of ginger salt water is Chen Luo, it has the nickname "Anze water".

If it is placed in later generations, he has developed a new formula of an explosive drink, and after registering a patent, he can lie down at home and collect money.

Picking up the ginger salt water brought up by the attendant, and drank half a cup, Chen Luo said with concentration: "Brother Yu, didn't I tell you five days ago that the world will change, and the time for us to spread our wings and take off is coming.

What I didn't expect was that the day before I said that, the opportunity for the world to become chaotic had already appeared. "

"Jiang Ning, please tell me." Xiang Yu's expression changed. There was a bit of comfort and leisure on his face, but it disappeared in an instant, and he took on the murderous aura when he was in the army.

Although he lived a stable life in Zhai, he didn't have to worry about everything, and the people loved him so much, which meant that he was "happy here, not thinking about Chu", but he was Xiang Yu after all.

Chen Luo added: "According to the news I have learned, something happened in Qidi [-] days ago. King Xun of Jibei led more than ten thousand troops to hunt the unicorn, but failed. With the reason of the unicorn going east, he repeatedly entered the fiefdom of the king of Qi."

"So ridiculous?" Xiang Yu couldn't believe it.

Chen Luo smiled: "It's just an excuse."

Will those wars that have been planned for a long time be abandoned because there is no suitable reason?

Obviously, they'll just show their fangs unabashedly.

Xiang Yu nodded: "The king of Qi must not be able to bear it. If the king of Jibei and the king of Qi fight... tsk tsk tsk, the land of Qilu is indeed going to be a mess."

"That's right. On the second day after King Jibei entered the fiefdom of King Qi, King Qi sent people there, but there must have been some accidents in the middle, which led to a real fight between the two sides." Chen Luo squinted his eyes.

The Mohist boy who sent back the information from Qidi was staying in Linzi, so he didn't have a detailed understanding of the specific situation on the front line.

He only knew that King Qi sent an army of 2000 people there. The purpose should be to warn and drive away King Jibei.

But it didn't take long before the news came back. King Jibei claimed that in the army of 2000 soldiers sent by King Qi, some people were instructed by King Qi to shoot arrows to assassinate him, and angrily declared war on King Qi.

So the more than ten thousand unicorn-hunting troops following King Jibei were already fully armed, and as soon as he gave an order, they immediately became war machines and began to attack Qidi.

This caught King Qi by surprise.

He was really dissatisfied with King Jibei's invasion of the territory, but King Qi felt that he and King Jibei were both Tian clans, and their blood was thicker than water, so from the very beginning, he was thinking of negotiating to solve the problem, and never thought that the other party would act so decisively.

So the kings of Jibei were victorious, and before this information came back, they had already reached the city of Yuling, just across the river from Linzi.

"But Xiong Xin's reaction is even more interesting." Chen Luo rubbed his chin, "Didn't he take all the land of Huaisi in his own hands? For Chu State, Qi State has lost a dangerous place that can be defended. It's just that his ambition has swelled, and he wants to swallow and control the entire Qi land."

"How to say?" Hearing this, Xiang Yu continued to ask, "Could it be that Xiong Xin still wants to get involved in the affairs of King Jibei and King Qi?"

Chen Luo nodded slightly: "That's right. Xiong Xin has sent troops to attack King Qi because of the reasons that King Qi swallowed the unicorn privately, refused to help King Bei, and wanted to kill him."

"It's ridiculous." Xiang Yu shook his head at this moment, "Is it the king's doing to fabricate crimes out of thin air?"

Chen Luo took a deep breath and said helplessly, "In my opinion, King Qi has only one crime."

"Huh?" Xiang Yu cast a puzzled look.

Chen Luo said slowly: "That is, he can unite the Tian clan and convince the people of Qi, but he is unwilling to be manipulated by Xiong Xin. He is really too close to Chu and too far away from Xiong Xin."

Xiong Xin spent more than half a year, and it seems that he has basically integrated the internal forces in Chu, so he wants to get involved in Qi.

And Tian Xun, King of Jibei in Qidi, was supported by him alone, so naturally he was the only one to follow, while King Qi was just the opposite. He was supported by the Tian family of the original Qi State and had a good reputation in Qidi.

Then Xiong Xin wanted to act in unison, so naturally he directed such a good show behind the scenes.Then he jumped out by himself and let the Chu army go into battle.

Under the attack of the two sides, only the Qi State in Linzi and Langya counties, unless King Qi was possessed by Tian Dan, it would be outrageous for him to stick to it.

As for the extermination of the Qi State, whether the king of Jibei and Xiongxin were three or seven or two points, this is not something Chen Luo cares.

He drank the remaining ginger salt water in the cup, and said solemnly: "Brother Yu, the chaos in Qidi is just the beginning, and the flames of war will not gradually spread. Maybe one day Guanzhong will be ignited. We need to be careful."

Xiang Yu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Jiang Ning. Since the first day I came to Zhaidi, I have been waiting for this opportunity to prepare for remounting the horse. Now the ink linji is covered with some dust, it's time to let it see blood again."
