Competing

Chapter 379
Pingyang, the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty.

After the enfeoffment of Guanzhong, Wei Bao changed from the king of Wei to the king of Western Wei, and the fief also changed from the original land of the Central Plains to the corner of the river east.The most depressing thing is that Daliang, the original capital, no longer belongs to him, and that territory has been assigned to Xiang Yu's Western Chu Kingdom.This is somewhat depressing for the former officials of the Wei state.

But now Xiang Yu's family is dominant and powerful, they can't afford to provoke them at all.In desperation, he could only swallow his anger and acquiesce in such a fact.For the time being, they had to curl up in the Pingyang area, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Pingyang was originally an ordinary city, and it was even more dilapidated than some dilapidated girders. When Wei Bao first arrived, let alone how depressed he was.He could only accept the fact with a mournful face that Xiang Yu had the intention to weaken the original princes of the Six Kingdoms, and he had no choice but to do so.Naturally, there is no so-called royal palace here, so I can only choose the mansion of a wealthy family in the city, and after some expansion on this basis, I just settled in.

Because Pingyang City was successfully upgraded to the capital city, it has also undergone some expansion, but now it is far inferior to Daliang in terms of scale and city construction itself.In desperation, Wei Bao could only concentrate on building military defense facilities such as city walls first.After all, there is a lot of chaos these years, and the enemy army will come over at some point, so military defense and security are very important.

Wei Bao was very dissatisfied with the dilapidated royal palace and the aggrieved fiefdom. He had been looking forward to the opportunity to recapture the hometown of Wei State in the Central Plains and reproduce the glory of his ancestors.This time the battle between Qi and Chu started, Wei Bao once again saw a glimmer of hope, maybe this is a good opportunity.

Wei Bao was eager to try, and he wanted to send troops to take advantage of the fire, but before that, he felt that he should ask Lord Longyang for his opinion, so he didn't rush to send troops.

At this time, somewhere in the palace of the king of the Western Wei Dynasty, an old man with flowing white hair and a hale and hearty spirit stood with his hands behind his hands.Behind him stood a man in black, with a very respectful attitude, standing silently, waiting for the old man's question.The old man has a detached status in the Wei Kingdom, and he is the former favorite of the King of Wei - Lord Longyang who is in his sixtieth year.

After a long time, Lord Longyang said: "Luo Qi, did you follow directly into Yue Kingdom?"

The person behind him is Lord Longyang's confidant, who once led his troops to sneak back to Yue State to assassinate Yin Xu, who had just rushed back from Yue State.Luo Qi replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is no chance to make a move on the road, so I can only follow him to the Yue Kingdom. Fortunately, I happened to meet Yin Xu who entered Kuaiji Mountain carelessly, so I had a chance."

Longyang Jun responded lightly, because of Bo Ji's sudden disappearance, he had the idea of ​​killing Yin Xu.But later I thought that Yin Xu could become a force that was hostile to Xiang Yu. After the war between Chu and Yue, Wei Guo could benefit from it.Therefore, I felt a little regretful about my hasty decision. At that time, I was powerless to stop it. What was even more unexpected was that Luo Qi would persevere in chasing him to the mainland of Yue.

Alas... If Yin Xu really died like this, he would really regret it.

"The assassination was successful?"

Luo Qi replied: "The crossbowman said he shot Yin Xu and shot him down the cliff, but there seems to be a river under the cliff, and if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured. What's more, there was a conflict between the local nobles of the Yue Kingdom and Yin Xu. If you think about it, those people will not let Yin Xu go."

"That means you are not sure that Yin Xu died on the spot, he might still be alive?" Mr. Long Yang didn't know whether he should be happy or regretful at this time.

Luo Qi lowered his head and said: "I'm not sure, it was exposed at that time, if I don't evacuate in time, I will be chased by the Vietnamese army, if my identity is revealed, it will be even more troublesome, so I evacuated first. However, my subordinates stayed in the Yue Kingdom With a few shrewd deployments, there will be news sent back in time, and it will not take long to know whether Yin Xu is really dead."

Long Yangjun nodded lightly, and his intuition told him that a young hero like Yin Xu couldn't die so easily.He said softly: "Okay, tell me the news in time. By the way, have you ever found out about Bo Ji's whereabouts in the Yue Kingdom?"

Bo Ji disappeared, and Yin Xu was naturally the most suspicious.Coupled with Xu negative's prophecy, Bo Ji's identity became more and more precious, so he has been brooding over this matter.

Luo Qi replied: "No, it seems that Yin Xu doesn't know about it either, and is also looking around...but..."

"It's strange, could it really be her?" Jun Longyang asked secretly, "But what?"

Luo Qidao: "During the time I was in Yue, I heard a lot of folk legends that Mrs. Bo Ji's hometown is indeed in Fanyi, and she may really be from the same town as Yin Xu, and... and the two are childhood sweethearts..."

A bitter smile emerged from the corner of Long Yangjun's mouth. It was true. He never expected that there would be such a big background in rescuing a woman in the Xiangxi River.For him, it doesn't matter whether he is childhood sweetheart with Yin Xu, what matters is who he has a child with.Thinking of Xu Negative's prophecy, Lord Longyang's expression became a little unnatural.Moreover, Bo Ji has treated him with respect and filial piety for many years. He is already in his twilight years, and his feelings for this woman are even deeper, and now he really misses her a little.

"I heard that you brought someone back?" Long Yangjun quickly controlled his emotions, and immediately asked another matter.

Luo Qi nodded and said: "Yes, his name is Ping Wu, he was the guard of the Shanyin noble family at that time, he used to be the personal bodyguard of Song Yi, the champion of Chu State Qingzi, and was injured by Yin Xu, and he has a deep hatred for him."

"So you brought him back?" Lord Longyang had extremely strict requirements on his subordinates, even if his personal guard brought back a stranger, he would even ask a few questions.

Luo Qi shook his head and said: "If it's just like this, this subordinate will never bring him back rashly. The main reason is that this Pingwu came from the Mozhe Xiangli family! This subordinate thought that he might be useful to the emperor, so he brought him back .”

"Really?" People from old enemies are indeed useful, and Lord Longyang was a little excited.

Luo Qi replied: "Yes, this matter was originally spread in Chu State, it is indeed true, and this Pingwu was expelled because of a deadlock with the Xiangli family, and now he is taken in, and we will deal with them in the future It will be of some use"

Long Yangjun nodded: "That's right, this matter was done well, and this experience is quite rewarding." Perhaps the assassination of Yin Xu is not worth the loss, but bringing back a person from the Xiangli family is of great use.This time Luo Qi went south to Jiangdong, so there were gains and losses due to accidents!
Peng Yue has surrendered to Xiang Yu, and he still has a strong force under his command. To some extent, the Daliang area is still under his control.Moreover, he also married the granddaughter of his old rival. What happens if he fishes in troubled waters in the future... This matter will inevitably make him nervous. Compared with Yin Xu, this is their confidant and old enemy, which makes him care.

At this moment, a guard came to report that the king of Wei had arrived.

Lord Longyang gave Luo Qi an order: "You go first, if you have any news about Yin Xu or Bo Ji, report it to me in time!"

He still cares about these two people very much...
