This palace built with stone and ancient wood took a lot of painstaking efforts and consumed a lot of money and materials from the treasury of the Minyue Kingdom. Although it is not as tall and solemn as the palaces of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, it is already in this remote place. It is a rare mansion.

King Wuzhu of Minyue was wearing armor with a long sword on his belt.The black armor of the whole body is woven with oil-soaked hundred-day hardwood unique to Yuedi, and the outside is inlaid with hundreds of iron sheets.This pair of black armor is made by the best craftsman in Yuedi, Bairi.On the day of Jiacheng, it is difficult for swords and guns to enter.

Wu Zhu stood in this empty palace, not like a king, but like a general.

Unlike King Ouyue, Wu Zhu has always been concerned about the general situation of the world, and has also obtained information from various countries in the Central Plains through many channels.Since no one succeeded to the throne, the situation has been turbulent for ten years.The world is changing so fast that Wuzhu has no way to adapt.

The six Kanto kingdoms that ruled the Central Plains in the past were destroyed, and Qin became the only big country in the world, the Qin Empire.And ever since Emperor Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, Wu Zhu has been worried that Ying Zheng will focus on this land.

Facts have proved that Wuzhu's concerns are not unfounded.Judging from the recent news, the Chu state in the past is now the Qin land.The small towns on the border between Qin and Baiyue stockpiled a lot of grain, grass and equipment, which exceeded a normal quota.

Then, there was news that the Qin army was changing defenses at the border.The army that replaced all the defenders on the border is quite extraordinary, and its well-trained is not comparable to those defenders.None of the spies sent by Wuzhu came back alive.

The news that came one by one made Wu Zhu feel uneasy.

In recent days, Wu Zhu received news that Liu Ji, the second head of Shennongtang, was heading south with a ship full of goods.Wu Zhu and Liu Ji are old acquaintances, and they also know a little about the Zhu family, the master of Shennong Hall.

These two people are not idle characters.Liu Ji chose to come here at this time, willing to take risks, and the plan behind this can be imagined.

By no means easy!

The heavy iron gate slowly opened a corner, bringing a glimmer of light to this dark palace.A servant walked into the hall, stood between the narrow intersection of light and darkness, and announced, "Your Majesty, Liu Ji, the second head of Shennong Hall, and Situ Wanli, the head of Siyue Hall, have already entered the city."

"The widow knows, and I will upload them to have an audience tomorrow morning." Wu Zhu said.

What should come has finally come.

"Yes!" The servant stepped back slowly, and the iron door was closed again.

The palace returned to darkness, just like Wuzhu's restless heart.

……

Inn.

Liu Jigai, who had just landed, did not come in time to put down his luggage and livestock, so he took Situ Wanli to gamble.

"Ha, Brother Liu Ji, you have already lost nine games in a row. It seems that your luck is not very good today!" Situ Wanli said with a light smile while holding the dice cup.

"I like to gamble, because no one knows what the result will be before the dice cup is opened." Liu Ji shook it again. This time, his luck seemed to be good, three sixes.

Situ Wanli smiled and raised his hand to admit defeat.For a veteran like him, his immersion in gambling skills has already reached the point of perfection.Listening to the sound to identify the position and manipulating the size is a trivial matter.

Situ Wanli didn't believe that Liu Ji didn't know this, but he was still willing to bet with himself.This is what Situ Wanli admired Liu Ji the most.

"Here we come." Putting down the sieve cup, Situ Wanli said to Liu Ji.

"I didn't expect Wu Zhu to be so anxious. I thought I would have to wait for two more days?" Liu Ji smiled lightly.

"Not everyone has such patience as you, brother."

A spy's voice sounded outside the door, "Situ Wanli, Liu Ji accepts the king's order."

Liu Ji and Situ Wanli smiled at each other, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

……

In the early hours of the morning, the world began to rain heavily, lingering, and the overcast weather made the two of them very uncomfortable.When Liu Ji and Situ Wanli arrived at Wangcheng by car, the cloaks they put on to protect them from the rain were almost soaked.

The two took off their cloaks, roasted for a while in the corridor outside the main hall, and then received the news that Wu Zhu wanted to see them.

The heavy iron door was slowly opened, and the hall was no longer as dark as last night.The braziers on both sides of the temple were lit, illuminating the long passage between the gate and the throne.

"See Your Majesty."

Liu Ji and Situ Wanli approached and saluted Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu was still the same as last night, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and carrying it behind his back.

"What are you here for?" Wu Zhu said straight to the point without being polite.

Liu Ji and Situ Wanli looked at each other and raised their heads.Liu Ji said: "There are two reasons for the farmer's visit this time. One is that the farmer thanked the king for the manpower he provided last time. This time, he specially brought a few boxes of goods as a reward."

"Mr. Changping is dead, and the state of Chu is dead. The king has already received the reward for the matter of the capital of Chu. We have both money and goods, so how can we talk about rewards? And, as far as I know, At that time, the commander-in-chief of the State of Qin who defeated the capital of Chu has now become the crown prince of the empire. Liu Ji, do you mean that you want me to be an enemy of this giant Qin State?" Wu Zhu's indifferent voice resounded through the hall, Situ Wan Li already sensed a lot of icy aura in the darkness around the palace room.

These should be all dead soldiers who have no domestication.These people are rebellious, with high martial arts skills, and they only obey Wu Zhuyi's orders, so they are quite difficult to deal with.

Situ Wanli had no doubts, as long as there was no order from Zhu, these people would rush over and kill the two of them on the spot.

Liu Ji next to him didn't seem to have noticed anything. He smiled lightly and bowed his hand: "I dare not. The second thing Liu Ji came here was to ask the king to go to the throne and return to Qin."

As Liu Ji's words fell, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became icy cold.Situ Wanli looked at Liu Ji in surprise, marveling at how he was so straightforward.

Wu Zhu turned around, and what caught Liu Ji and his eyes was the image of a man with a resolute face.

And as Wu Zhu turned around, a dagger was already on the necks of Liu Ji and Situ Wanli.

Liu Ji didn't hide, and neither did Situ Wanli, because they didn't feel the murderous aura from Wuzhu.

"Let me tell you one more thing, if you can't satisfy me, you should know your fate." Wu Zhu looked at Liu Ji, his thin face showed no expression.

"Your Majesty, do you want to be safe, do you want to die?" Being driven by many daggers, Liu Ji couldn't even move.At this moment, his face was rarely serious.

"So what about safety? What about death?"

"If you are safe, you will surrender to Qin, if you die, you will resist Qin, that's all."

"Hahahaha!" Wu Zhu laughed loudly: "Even though Minyue is small, there are still hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, so don't be afraid of Qin Zai!"
