Chapter 226: Assassination of the King

After nearly a month of tense atmosphere, King Qi's capital Canghai City finally returned to normal. For the people inside and outside the city, this is undoubtedly a huge good news.

Canghai City, known as one of the four famous cities in the world, is already extremely prosperous. Many shops that were forced to close due to their nervousness some time ago have also opened again. Everyone on the streets are smiling, as if they are more lively than during the festival.

If you talk about it in detail, until now, the royal city that has been through hundreds of years has not really experienced the baptism of war. This is naturally due to its unique geographical location. The original planners and builders must have considered all aspects of unfavorable factors, so they chose the best place to terrain. There is Xiongguan in the north, Taiyue in the west, the barriers of mountains and rivers in the south, and the vast sea in the east. In the wars that have occurred in the past, no one was able to attack the city of Canghai.

It is precisely because of this psychological support that the crisis faced by Qi this time made the people here particularly nervous. Because the fierce offensive of the famous Qin general made them feel a huge threat.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm. When the news of the victory of the Taiyue Battle came to Canghai not long ago, everyone let out a long sigh and finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

It was from that time that these ordinary Qi people realized that it was the people of Zhao who came to help them defeat the invaders and eliminate the most powerful enemies. In this way, they turned the tide and helped the Qi army recover the rivers and mountains west of Taiyue again.

This made many people feel sincerely grateful while being excited. It is said that the young King Zhao had just ascended the throne, and the country of Zhao was not stable. However, he still brought unparalleled help to Qi at such a difficult time. What is particularly commendable is that he actually worked tirelessly to avoid difficulties and brought his army to him. In any aspect, such a move is heartfelt gratitude.

Then, news came out of nowhere. It was said that the reason why King Zhao spared no effort to help Qi was because of Princess Wuyou.

In a legendary story that has been circulated, the queen Wuyan, who was deeply loved by the people of Qi, sent her most beloved Princess Wuyou to follow Lanlingjun to Zhao State to envoy Zhao State. The young King Zhao and the beautiful and brave princess of Qi State fell in love with each other at first sight. Moreover, it is said that even the arrogant and picky Queen Mother of Zhao, Jiang Xin, also likes Princess Wuyou very much.

It was at this time that the Qi State's military attack rose sharply and the Qin and Yan coalition forces launched a large-scale attack. Princess Wuyou, who was in Zhao State, was worried when she heard the news. She did not hesitate but was reserved, and went to see King Zhao in person and rescued Qi with the troops.

King Zhao was moved by her courage and immediately agreed to her request and led the troops in person. Princess Wuyou took off her skirt and put on her armor. On the battlefield of Taiyue, she personally rushed to the battlefield, killing the general's head in the ten thousand horse army, shocking the enemy's courage.

Then, he followed King Zhao and personally participated in the decisive battle of Taiyue. Until the invading enemy troops were completely eliminated, he took off his armor and regained his true nature. He can be said to be a heroine who is not allowed to be a beloved man!

Among the restaurants and tea shops in Canghai City, countless people have heard this exciting legend in the past two days. No one doubts its authenticity. Because all the people of Qi firmly believe that this is their worry-free princess! For many years, the queen's kindness has been spread among the people, and no distinction between high and low, and all of them have been praised. Now, this young princess has become a new hope in their eyes. Although no one has any other ideas yet, some unusual feelings have already quietly emerged in their hearts.

As long as the queen and princess are there, even if the Qi royal family is mediocre, there is no need to worry too much.

This idea does not exist only in the hearts of a few people. Not only the ordinary people in the market, but also some ministers from the Wang Ting also think so. Perhaps the only difference is that they consider more profoundly than the people of Qi.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, the current situation is already very obvious. Inside and outside the Wang Ting, after the victory of the Battle of Taiyue, the influence of Lanlingjun and Queen Wuyan will surely become increasingly greater in the future. If the factors of Princess Wuyou and King Zhao are added, there is no doubt that the political situation of Qi will be completely tilted. However, facing this upcoming new situation, not only no one is worried. On the contrary, their hearts are filled with joy and expectation.

Especially the wealthy and noble factions led by Gongsun Ji, the senior doctor of Qi State, were very satisfied with the situation. No one outside would have thought that many of the legends about King Zhao and Princess Wuyou that were circulated in the market were deliberately spread out out of the instructing of them.

As the first Qi nobles who got great benefits from the Zhao people, after more than half a year of development, they have long been closely related to Zhao. Although they are all the children of nobles from Longcheng who are dealing with them, they know very well who is behind these young people.

In just half a year, the huge wealth obtained by each family in the new industry developed was already shocking. Qi State has developed waterways, and there are many merchants from north to south. Anything produced in Qi State can be quickly transported to the north and Lingnan. Even overseas islands often come across the ocean to buy large-scale purchasers. The goods are all over the world and the wealth is abundant. Now, they sit at home and count money every day, and they feel as happy as they want!

Therefore, whether for their own interests or for the future of Qi, uniting with the queen is their wisest choice.

Since the help from Zhao State is so important, how to find a way to promote the good things of King Zhao Chu Jiangmian and Princess Wuyou has become the thought of many people in Qi. In order to achieve this goal, creating public opinion in advance was just a small way.

When the autumn wind blows, osmanthus flowers bloom, and the city is bustling. If it is in the north of Yanzhao, or in the west of Qinshu, it will appear dry and cold. However, in this royal city on the coast of the East China Sea, it is still wet and gentle.

The bustling streets are back to life and bustling, and there are endless traffic and pedestrians. Teahouses and restaurants, loud talkers are extremely generous. The most attractive topic among them is of course the great victory achieved by Qi State on the Taiyue battlefield.

The most in shortage of restaurants on the streets of Canghai City is restaurants. The King of Qi is good at drinking and has the effect on the other. For many years, Qi's winemaking industry has far exceeded other princes. This industry that consumes the most food is subject to many restrictions in other princes. However, in Qi, the conditions are extremely relaxed. Even from this aspect, it can be seen that the wealth of Qi is far greater than that of many other princes.

Now, Qi's winemaking industry is even more famous. Because since the advent of Lanling wine, this industry has quickly become one of the important tax sources of Qi in a short period of time. Many of the world's rogues, high-ranking tourists from all over the world, come here specifically to taste the taste of Lanling wine.

The main theme of all restaurants in the royal city is almost Lanling wine. The tall wine banners and the quaint wooden buildings float around the entire street. The wine smell is attracted by countless people, and the aroma of wine and dishes is intoxicating.

The largest restaurant on the street is called "Lingxiang Pavilion". Every time it comes, there are almost all the guests full of wineries. As for today, the sun is already in the west, but there are still several tables that have not dispersed. It is not surprising that they are talking big while playing boxing.

"This time it's so satisfying! Since the news of Taiyue battlefield came, I have been drunk for several times... Brother Zixu, I am really unable to drink, so don't persuade each other again!"

"Brother Yunju, I have said that there are one of the people here today who are not drunk and will not return home. No one can escape from drinking!"

The two people who were blushing and talking loudly, sat at a table by the window of the restaurant. There were seven or eight of them in total. From noon to now, several jars of wine were almost empty. It was obviously a huge amount. When the other people saw him fighting wine, they not only refused to persuade each other, but instead shouted loudly from the side and cheered. The man from Qi was already generous. In the presence of strong wine, there was never anyone who took the initiative to admit defeat.

However, no matter how Zixu and others persuaded each other, the middle-aged man named Yunju stopped drinking anyway. He was actually 80% drunk. If he had nothing to do on weekdays, he would certainly be drunk and would stop drank. But today it was not possible. Because tomorrow there was something very important, all the soldiers in Canghai City, including him, must do their best to do their best to guard the task.

Since everyone was old friends, seeing that he was very determined, he stopped forcibly persuading him. However, the brother Zixu, who was as good as him, always felt that he was not satisfied. He pulled Yun Ju's arm and sighed with drunken eyes.

"I have been away from Qi for many years and miss my brothers and some old friends very much. I finally came back this time, thinking about reminiscing about the past. It's a pity that you don't have time to have free time, which is really a pity!"

Yunju was a little disgusted when he heard what he said. They were all friends from young age. They remembered the friendship of being like-minded and riding and shooting in those years. But now they haven't seen each other for many years and cannot enjoy it. Sure enough, they were regretful. So they patted the back of the other party's hand and said.

"Brother Zixu, you are not in a hurry to leave after you come back this time, so there are still many opportunities to drink. After tomorrow... I will sacrifice my life to accompany you as much as you want to drink!"

"Okay! Just a word is determined. But I don't know what important things will happen to Brother Yunju tomorrow?"

"The King of Zhao is coming to Canghai... I will enter the city tomorrow! I have my responsibilities and dare not slackew."
Chapter completed!
