Chapter 414 Birdcage

Qi State, Linzi.

Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng has not seen him since King Qi returned to Qi. After the morning court today, King Qi called him over.

However, when Hou Sheng saw King Qi, he was playing with a snow-white bird in a golden cage.

This bird looks very special. Hou Sheng has never seen it in Qi State. It should not be a species from the Central Plains.

"My lord, where did this bird come from?"

King Qi played with the birds and seemed to be very interested.

"What I brought back from Qin was a small gadget given by Lord Hanyang. It is said that this bird was brought from the barbarians in the west, and it was quite popular. I thought it was very interesting, so I brought it back."

Seeing King Qi like this, Hou Sheng thought that he should be very satisfied with his trip to Qin, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, how was your trip?"

"I feel so enlightened!"

There was a set of gold tools in front of the birdcage. King Qi held the rod and fiddled with the bird's food in the jade bowl. He said nonchalantly as he fucked.

"I'm afraid this world belongs to Qin!"

Hou Sheng was shocked when he heard this. King Qi said these shocking words, but there was nothing strange about his demeanor, as if he was chatting in a wine shop.

But is this something we can talk about?

"The King of Qin is an extraordinary man, with the ambition to conquer the four seas, and the ability to swallow up the whole world."

"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"

"I went all the way to Guanzhong and saw that the fertile land on the north bank of the Wei River has been turned into fertile farmland, with a yield of one minute per mu. As long as the Zheng Guo Canal is completed, the tens of thousands of fields on the north bank of the Wei River in Guanzhong can provide the Qin army with millions of grain and grass every year. With this savings , In just ten years, the warehouses will be rich, and they will be able to annex the world."

Having said this, King Qi smiled.

"The old king of Han is dead, but he has brought such a disaster to the world. He wanted to use Zheng Guo Canal to consume Qin's strength and save Korea. But now that Zheng Guo Canal is about to be completed, it has made Qin stronger and more powerful, causing harm to the world. .”

King Qi's words were still calm, but Hou Sheng was sweating coldly.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Just cut off the envoys of Qin and join forces with other countries?"

"Combined vertically?" King Qi smiled, "How to merge vertically?"

"There is only a corner of Wei and Han left, and they are still surviving in the world. The king of Yan has no plan, and the king of Zhao is weak. There is only one country of Chu left, but Lord Chunshen has died, and there is no one left in the Chu country."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry so much. We are working hard, but there is still no chance of survival."

Hou Sheng's words of encouragement caused King Qi to stop moving in his hands.

"Li Mu is a god with his troops, but it is a pity that he did not meet his master and was tabooed by greedy ministers. Even if he could support half of the Zhao Kingdom, he would not be able to sustain it for long. Although the Xiang family is strong, there are many great feudal lords in the Chu Kingdom. In addition, if Li Yuan is in charge of the government and goes against the grain, the Xiang family will be unable to do anything. Even if I use Qi's 200,000 soldiers and horses, I can't satisfy the Qin army's greed."

"Is there really no way?"

Hou Sheng's words were filled with fear and despair, which seemed very depressing.

"The State of Qi may perish, but the Tian family will definitely continue to exist. Even if the State of Qin dominates the world, our Tian family may not lose."

A glimmer of light flashed in King Qi's eyes. At this moment, Hou Sheng felt the king's aura, as deep as the sea.

But soon, this momentum disappeared without a trace, and King Qi turned into the cheerful and funny King Qi just now.

"That's true. However, this trip to Guanzhong is not without gains. The civil servants and military generals of the Qin State are all the best in the world. But for the Qin State, the Right Prime Minister Changping Lord may be a hidden worry."

"he?"

Hou Sheng didn't know much about Lord Changping. He only knew that he was an important minister of the Qin State and held a high position, but he heard King Qi continue to speak.

"What will happen, we have to see next. A sharp sword is easy to use, but one day, the sword is turned upside down. I want to see what it looks like?"

King Qi was completely gloating over the misfortune and seemed to be looking forward to it. Speaking of this, something seemed to come to mind.

"But there is another person who is very interesting."

"Your Majesty, are you talking about Lord Hanyang?"

King Qi smiled and put down the golden pole in his hand.

"This set of funny things was given to me by him."

"For such a priceless thing, Mr. Hanyang is really generous."

"Why is it so lavish?" King Qi smiled, "He gave this to me just for the right to trade, in exchange for precious goods such as Qi's pearls and everlasting lanterns."

"Then the king agreed?"

"Why don't you agree?" King Qi asked back, "Since we can't defeat Qin, it would be good to form an alliance with Qin. Even if one day, the Qin army comes to the city, there is no reason to massacre the city and seize the land like other countries. What's more, , by doing business with them, my Tian family can also become rich."

After saying that, King Qi straightened up and glanced at the bird in the cage.

"This boy keeps all the mastiffs and eagles around him, but what he gives away to others are all these frivolous and useless playthings."

Having said this, King Qi looked at Hou Sheng, as if he had noticed something, and he felt happy.

"Does he think of me as barbarians who have never seen the world, and is he just teasing me?"

Hou Sheng smiled, lowered his head, and did not dare to say anything.

Yueshi Royal City.

"Grandpa Wang!"

A crisp sound, like a lark, made Old King Yuezhi's already joyful mood even more joyful.

King Yuezhi teased the birds in the golden cage. When he saw his little princess coming, he waved.

"What's this?"

There was a hint of doubt in the girl's voice as she looked at the bird in the birdcage.

"Aliya, this is a gift from the Eastern Kingdom of Qin. It is a very precious thing. Look at this kind of craftsmanship, it is really rare in the world!"

Alia looked at the bird in the birdcage and seemed to be infected by this beautiful thing, with a smile on her face.

"This time, Qiu Biju also brought many exquisite silk dresses from Qin. I will let your mother-in-law pick out some for you. You will definitely be able to charm many silly boys."

Aaliyah is not very old, but she is the most beloved little princess of King Yuezhi and the daughter of the crown prince.

"Only the most exquisite clothes can be worthy of the most precious pearl of our Sereps family."

At this moment, a burly man walked in from outside the palace and bowed.

"My king!"

"Qiubiju, I am very satisfied with your trip to the East. As for the request of Lord Hanyang of the Qin State, I agreed and sent 10,000 cattle and sheep to his territory first. Over the years, the Yue clan has become more and more powerful. There will be no trouble on the four sides and abundant products. After the border settlement is established, the trade between the two sides will definitely be smoother."

"Yes, I will go down and do it right now!"

Aaliyah sat in the arms of King Yuezhi, blinking her eyes, a little curious, who is that person named Lord Hanyang?

But I saw King Yuezhi playing with the bird in the exquisite golden cage, his eyes shining, and he couldn't put it down.

"What a precious thing!"
