Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 251

Ma Ye didn't get the Jade Blood Sword in the end, but he didn't take it too seriously.

In Ma Ye's view, how much is a down-and-out boy's sword, no matter how gorgeous it is, worth?It's a surprise to get it, but it's no pity not to get it.

Three days later, Kuai Che returned to Pengcheng from Luyi and asked Yingbu if a young man named Bi Shu had come to see him, but Yingbo didn't know it and called Ma Ye over.

After entering the main hall, Ma Ye hurriedly saluted, Ying Bu waved his hand and asked, "Ma Ye, has a young man named Bi Shu asked to see the widow these days?"

Ma Ye let out an uh, and said in a low voice: "There is indeed such a young man."

Yingbo frowned, and said displeasedly: "Why didn't you report it to the widow? Now what about others?"

"This..." Ma Ye was suffocated when he heard the words, and he said after a long while, "Your Majesty, that is a madman who is proud of his talents, and he was sent away by the minister on the spot. He must have left Pengcheng long ago, right?"

"Nonsense!" Kuai Che said angrily when he heard the words, "What kind of madman who is proud of his talent is a celebrity in the country. He is a great talent who was recruited for the king after exhausting his words. Ma Ye, how dare you prevent him from seeing the king? ?!"

"Ah?" Ma Ye said sadly, "Well, I don't know that he was recommended by the Prime Minister."

Yingbu asked curiously: "Minister Guo, what is the origin of this bishu?"

"This minister also doesn't know, and I only met him by chance in a wine shop in Luyi." Kuai Che said this, and then continued, "However, after only a few long conversations, I was surprised to find that , this person knows both the law and the law. He is familiar with Confucianism, the essence of Mohism, and the theory of yin and yang in heaven and earth. , like a drop of water is compared to the ocean, and a firefly is compared to the bright moon!"

"What, a drop of water is better than Wang Yang, and a firefly is better than a bright moon?" Ying Bu said in shock, "Master, are you serious?"

"Not heavy, not heavy at all." Kuai Che waved his hand and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I suspect that this person may be the contemporary heir of Guiguzi! If Your Majesty can get the help of this person, why not worry about hegemony?"

"Oh, the contemporary successor of Guiguzi?!" Ying Bu was also terrified when he heard the words.

Kuai Che let out a muffled snort, turned his head and stared at Ma Ye viciously, and said with anger still: "It's really hateful for such a national scholar to be rejected from the palace gate by you bastard! Hateful! Hateful!!!"

Ma Ye was terrified by Kuai Che's three hateful words in a row, and immediately said to Kuai Che with a bitter face: "Minister Guo, how do I know this, I really don't know..."

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you this." Kuai Che stomped his feet and said anxiously, "You just need to tell the truth, then did Bi Shu ever leave Pengcheng? If he left Pengcheng, where is he now?"

"This..." Ma Ye said hesitantly, "It seems, it seems to have gone to Guangling."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to chase him back." After saying that, Kuai Che turned around and left, not in time to say goodbye to Yingbo.

Watching Kuai Che's figure go away in a hurry, Ying Bu couldn't help being fascinated, and said in a low voice: "To be praised by the Prime Minister of the State, even if he is not the contemporary descendant of Guiguzi, he is really a national scholar?" Ma Ye originally thought He made a few greedy words, but when he heard what Yingbo said, he immediately closed his mouth tightly.

In Guangling County, a carriage is slowly driving out from the south gate.

In the carriage, Bi Shu holding the Jade Blood Sword is closing his eyes and resting his mind. Just as Kuai Che guessed, Bi Shu is indeed the contemporary heir of Guiguzi. Since he was five years old, he has spent 26 years familiarizing himself with the numerous classics of his master. Borrowed, and learned a whole body of skills from the master, this time I went down the mountain to prepare for some achievements.

I had a few long talks with Kuai Che in Luyi, and Bi Shu still recognized Kuai Che quite a bit. Regardless of his mind, bearing, and talent, he was good, but he was a little arrogant, so he also had a feeling for Huainan Wang Yingbu. Interesting, but the trip to Pengcheng disappointed Bi Shu greatly. If the people under his door are like this, the king of Huainan himself may not be very clever.

Then I met a wealthy Jiangdong businessman who claimed to be Qu Bucai, and insisted on inviting him to Jiangdong to experience the so-called national examination.

But in all honesty, Bi Shu is still very curious about Chu's national examination, because the king of Chu can treat the children of scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants equally, which makes Bi Shu a little surprised. Bi Shu also came from a poor family, so I feel cordial and agree with this move of the King of Chu from the bottom of my heart, so I want to come to Jiangdong to see it with my own eyes.

Inside the city gate, one of his subordinates was complaining to Qu Bucai: "Boss, who is this guy? He is dressed so shabby, and he is so arrogant. From Pengcheng to Guangling County, we take care of food, drink and food along the way." Sleep, before leaving Guangling, we have to arrange a big boat to take him across the Wujiang River, at least it cost tens of thousands, is it worth it?"

"You know nothing." Qu Bucai scolded, "What is this little money?"

The subordinates said in a low voice: "You need to know that our money is not blown by strong winds."

Qu Bucai said angrily: "Hmph, do you know who this person is from?"

"How does the villain know?" The subordinate shook his head and said, "The manager knows who this person is?"

"The manager doesn't know either." Qu Bucai shook his head, then changed the topic and continued, "However, in a restaurant in Luyi, I saw with my own eyes Kuai Che, the Prime Minister of Huainan, talking happily with this person. And he was respectful to him, and later, the manager spent a lot of money to buy Kuai Che's entourage, and finally got a shocking news!"

"An astonishing news?" The subordinate said, "Boss, what news?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Qu Bucai lowered his voice and said, "The entourage said that Kuai Che once drank too much and accidentally mentioned that this person is a great talent. Introduce to King Huainan, you think, if such a great talent is put under the tent of King Huainan, wouldn’t it be a threat to Da Chu?”

"Oh, so that's the case." The subordinate nodded again and again, and suddenly realized, "The manager is wise."

"Such a great talent, no matter what the price is, he must be invited to Jiangdong. If it is really impossible, he can only..." Qu Bucai made a gesture of wiping his throat, and then patted the shoulder of his subordinate, Said, "Your abilities are good in all aspects, you just lack a little vision, and with more experience, you will almost be able to go to other countries to stand alone."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Manager, for your support." The subordinates nodded repeatedly, but their hearts were filled with joy.

When Bai Lixian was busy preparing for the national exam, a secret letter from Qu Bucai was delivered to the Wuzhong Palace overnight.

More than half a year ago, Xiangzhuang formally established an intelligence organization similar to the "Black Ice Terrace" of the Qin Empire, and set up a secret base in Wumuya, Tianmu Mountain. ", in order to maintain the mystery of the organization, it is commensurate with Wumuya, and Qu Bucai is the first director of Wumuya.

Xiang Zhuang spared no effort in supporting Wumuya. Not only did he hand over the large amount of gold, silver and jewels he had captured from Luoyang and Xianyang to Qu Bucai, but he also allowed Heimuya to be affiliated with Wumuya as funds for recruiting dead soldiers and developing eyeliner. The storehouses and bookstores exclusively sell all kinds of paper and books in various countries in the Central Plains.

At this time, papermaking and printing had not spread, and the countries in the Central Plains could not make paper or print books at all. Therefore, the paper and book loans operated by Wumuya were basically dumped in the countries of the Central Plains. Wumuya quickly accumulated a huge amount of property, and then built a huge intelligence network with its strong financial resources.

Up to now, Wumuya has established a complete intelligence network in Huainan State and Liang State, and initially established intelligence bases in the major cities of Qi State, Zhao State, and South Korea. Over time, it will gradually establish an intelligence network. Because Bashu is too far away, the tentacles of Wumuya have not yet extended into it.

This secret letter was sent by Qu Bucai who personally sits in Pengcheng.

Qu Bucai reported to Xiang Zhuang in a secret letter that he found a great talent named Bi Shu in Pengcheng. It is speculated that this person is likely to be the contemporary descendant of Guiguzi, and Qu Bucai has already arranged for someone to escort him across the river to Wuzhong.

Xiang Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately called Jin Xiang and said: "Jin Xiang, arrange a car to go to Qu'a!"

Jin Xiang looked at the slightly dark sky outside the window, and said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, are you going to Qu'a now?"

"Yes, let's go now!" Xiang Zhuang said and got up, and hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, and at the same time ordered Jin Xiang, "Let the military division put aside the matter of the national examination first, and go to Qu'a with the widow."

"Here!" Jin Xiang responded abruptly, and took the order to go.

Guangling County, Fengling Ferry on the north bank of Wujiang River.

Amidst the rapid sound of horseshoes, dozens of fast horses galloped from the north road like a wind and electric engine.

The first rider was wearing an e-crown on his head, wearing a brocade robe, and his appearance was not ordinary. This person was none other than Kuai Che, the Prime Minister of the Huainan Kingdom who went south to Guangling overnight to catch up with Bi Shu. Kuai Che was really anxious all the way south. .

"Drive! Drive! Drive!" Although the mount under his crotch was foaming at the mouth, Kuai Che was still brandishing the whip and whipping the horse's butt desperately. At this moment, he wished he could fly to Fenglingdu with wings, Don't worry, if you want Bi Shu to cross the Wujiang River, it will be impossible to chase him back.

Once Bi Shu really became a minister of Chu, he would be in big trouble!

Although the Huainan Kingdom has formed an alliance with the Chu Kingdom, it is impossible for the two countries to confront each other in the short term, but in the long run, there will be a day when the two countries will still confront each other. No way, Bi Shu cannot be allowed to cross the Wujiang River no matter what, and he cannot be allowed to enter Chu no matter what!
