Wei Wuhou

Chapter 625

(It’s still updated tonight, it’s the fifth update!! Please subscribe!!)
On March 16, 21th year of Marquis Wei, Wei Wuji's mission had already set off for three days, and they were still in Qi State at this time.

The peace talks between Qi State and Wei State were successful, so it can be regarded as being in the honeymoon period, so at the request of Wei State, the Wei State Mission directly entered Wangji through Qi State, without going to other places to detour.

Of course, for this route arranged by Wu'an, Wei Wuji always felt that some people had ulterior motives.

You know, Wei Wuji doesn't have a good reputation in Qi State, even Tian Yuwen, the current king of Qi State, was teased by him at the beginning.

Therefore, Wei Wuji has reason to doubt whether the people in Wu'an want to use the hands of Qi people to get rid of him.

After all, the weather in the south is hot and humid, so it is easy to kill someone by taking any medicine or accidentally catching a cold.

Thinking of this, Wei Wuji paid a lot of attention to his diet, it would be a big loss if he was played to death like this.

Not only that, what is even more worrying is the conditions of the mission's guards. The entire mission plus Da Honglu's seven or eight civil servants totaled less than a hundred people.

If you encounter some bandits or something, you will probably explain everything.

Therefore, while enjoying the rare good time in the Qi State Pavilion, Wei Wuji couldn't help but joked to Qu Weidao beside him: "Master Qu, your luck is really not very good, why are you always messing with me?" Let's pick up some hard work together!"

Even speaking of this, Wei Wuji asked solemnly: "Did you offend someone in Dahonglu? Otherwise, how could you have fallen to this point!"

Wei Wuji's words are not unreasonable, one must know that Qu Weidao has made great achievements, and he should have returned to Wu'an to receive the reward.

But at this time, Qu Weidao said calmly: "The king has orders, and the ministers should obey them. This is the duty of the ministers!"

At this moment, it was difficult for Wei Wuji to judge whether Qu Weidao was as indifferent as he said.

After all, after Qu Weidao left, the results of the peace talks would probably be divided up by his subordinates, which would be unbearable for normal people.

Wei Wuji nodded, and then said: "That's my villain's heart!"

Qu Weidao didn't even dare to say, but he also knew why he was "assigned" to Shangluo.

It all stemmed from the Shangluo meeting a few years ago, coupled with the joint discussion with Qi State this time, Qu Weidao had already gotten too close to Wei Wuji, so he was naturally tied to Wei Wuji.

The journey to Luoyang is far away and there is no benefit, and since Qu Weidao and Wei Wuji are so deeply involved, he will go wherever he doesn't.

Later, Wei Wuji asked about the specific arrangements for this trip to Shangluo, and he didn't know much about etiquette.

So Qu Weidao talked to Wei Wuji about some related matters, including the etiquette at that time and the procedures for the burial of the emperor and the enthronement of the new king.

Only then did Wei Wuji know that the emperor's coffin would be parked for 49 days, that is, the funeral would be held on April [-]th.

That is to say, Wei Wuji and his party will arrive at Shangluo on April 28th, and they still have [-] days, nearly a month.

For this reason, Wei Wuji also had to lament the painstaking efforts of those people in Wu'an, so that he could justifiably be held back for more than a month.

Moreover, the land of Shangluo is not the mainland of the Wei country. There are too many people who are hostile to him, a member of the Wei country, and the security issue will really become a problem at that time.

Therefore, when he learned that there was still more than a month left, Wei Wuji ordered the entire team to slow down. Going early is not a good thing.

After his speed slowed down, Wei Wuji contacted the people at Zhangan at the same time, and ordered the forces at Zhangan in Qi State to rush to Shangluo immediately, and join hands with Shangluo to find out Wang Ji's situation.

To be on the safe side, Wei Wuji also directly ordered these people to build an absolutely safe place in Shangluo Xun if conditions permit.

Undoubtedly, the rest of the journey was much easier, because Wei Wuji learned a little about the local conditions and customs of Qi country because he was not in a hurry.

When he came to Qi State as a hostage, he didn't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery. This time, he made up for the regret of the last time.

And this made Qu Weidao, who saw it, very anxious, for fear that Wei Wuji would forget the time and would not be able to arrive at Shangluo in time.

It took Wei Wuji a lot of eloquence to let Qu Weidao know that he knows how to measure and will not mess around.

And during the time when Wei Wuji was on his way, he still learned about the general situation among the countries through the sticks. Of course, this was the situation more than ten days ago.

Now the strategic plan of Qin and Chu to jointly attack Wei has not changed, and even Qin has achieved some small victories in the direction of Xiguan, and now it has begun to gradually besiege Xiguan.

In the direction of Changping Pass, Qin's offensive became weaker, presumably waiting for the people of Chu to make a move.

But at this time, the state of Chu, after entering Zhengdi, just confronted the state of Wei across the river, and was cutting wood and building ships nearby to prepare for the war.

As for Wu State in the south, the war in Xu State was not so smooth, after all, Xu State was under the protection of Qi State.

Next was the situation in northern Xinjiang, which Wei Wuji was more concerned about. Although Adaye tried his best to prepare for the battle, he actually didn't send a single soldier.

But this is also a normal situation. After all, the grassland soldiers and horses will have to wait until June to prepare enough food and grass. It is too early to attack now.

Although the current situation is changing all the time, it is still like a pool of stagnant water to Wei Wuji, which also makes him feel a little impatient.

After stopping and going, Wei Wuji and his party set foot on Wang Ji's land on the second day of April.

The last time he entered Shangluo from north to south, this time he entered Zhou from Qi State, and rushed to Shangluo from east to west.

Three years have passed, and after Wei Wuji set foot on this land again, he found that the place has not changed much from three years ago.

The same military disaster is rampant, the same precarious situation, Wang Ji's people still look dull and disheveled.

In the past two years, the state of Chu used troops against the state of Wei, and it was necessary to use Wang Ji as an excuse. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the Zhou family. Disasters happened from time to time, but the Zhou family was unable to restrain them.

Therefore, after seeing Wei Ziqi of Wei Wuji and his party, all the Zhou people along the way either fled or hid in the woods as if they had seen the King of Hades.

Fortunately, Wei Wuji also met a dilapidated building, otherwise the group of them would probably go to Shangluo hungry.

Fortunately, Wei Wuji did not meet Chu's army except for interrogation by the king's army from the Zhou family along the way, otherwise he should have worried about whether he would be able to go to Shangluo alive.

Four full days later, on the afternoon of the sixth day of April, the people led by Wei Wuji rushed to the outside of Shangluo City.

Looking at this famous city with a long history from a distance, Wei Wuji could no longer remember how he felt when he saw him for the first time, but now through the sunset in the distance, he could only see a piece of dilapidated and lonely.

On the small hill outside Shangluo City, Wei Wuji saw a piece of plain color outside the city and high places inside the city. The whole of Shangluo was silently mourning for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, Wei Wuji also pulled out a white silk from his sleeve, tied it around his waist, then turned around and said to the people behind him: "Dai Xiao, enter the city!"

Therefore, the members of the mission, whether they are civil officials or guards, will take out their white silk from their bosoms at this time, and then tie them around their waists.

After the entire style of painting changed, the entire Wei State Mission slowly rushed to Shangluodongmen.
