Chapter 87 I Think
Liu Zheng looked calm.
Qingyang Shuo's beautiful eyes were fixed on Liu Zheng. After a while, he picked up the wine, drank it while laughing, and choked himself a few times.
"All under heaven are one, all under heaven are one!"
"Sir, Datong has reconciled again?"
Liu Zheng replied: "No deep meaning, basically the same!"
This time, he made Qingyang Suo laugh.
Hu Xier also chuckled and covered her mouth with her hands while giggling.
It sounds so grand, but it's just roughly the same? But Qingyang Suo was already shocked. In the Longyan Dynasty, how many people dared to say roughly the same? He nodded and smiled calmly: "My name is Qingyang Suo, why do you want to use me, sir?"
"What?"
Liu Zheng was so frightened that his scalp went numb. He took a few steps back and looked into Qingyang Suo's eyes with horror.
Qingyang Suo!
Qingyang, this is a double surname. In the Longyan Dynasty, this is a surname that people are absolutely afraid of! A surname that people dare not mention! The reason is that in the rolling tide of the Longyan Dynasty that has lasted for a thousand years, the Qingyang family is definitely worthy of being recorded in the history books. When the Xie family opened up this dynasty in Longyan, Qingyang was the most loyal partner of the Xie family. After the founding of the country, Qingyang even had a queen, which shows how much the emperor values her.
King Qingyang was also the number one prince in the country at that time.
However, just two hundred years ago, the royal family suddenly launched an operation to wipe out the Qingyang clan. In the end, the Qingyang clan was shattered. Later, in order to protect themselves, they entered the palace to become eunuchs!
From the first prince to a eunuch family, the shame can be imagined.
Afterwards, the Qingyang clan completely disappeared from the crowd.
Although this matter was quickly suppressed by the Longyang royal family, it had already become a story and spread among the people. How could Liu Zheng not know about it?
So when he heard this surname today, he was really shocked.
It is said that every member of the Qingyang clan is as beautiful as a flower, both men and women. After seeing them today, Liu Zheng realized that it was true.
“This, this, this…”
Liu Zheng was so scared that he stuttered.
No wonder he wanted to kill him when he was talking about why Qingyang Suo lived in seclusion! With such a secret family secret, isn't this their Achilles' heel?
Qingyang Suo smiled faintly: "I am a wild man from the mountains, but I got a little girl by chance. I named her Hu Xier so that she can go out into the world."
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and saw that Qingyang Suo's hand was already on the wheelchair. He knew that he basically had no choice. If he dared to use Qingyang Suo, it would be fine. If he didn't dare, he would definitely lose his head!
Moreover.
What does the feud between the Qingyang clan and the royal family have to do with me?
Liu Zheng laughed loudly and bowed: "Teacher, teach me!"
Qingyang Shuo's eyes were burning: "Shuo has only one request! "
"Sir, please speak!"
Qingyang Shuo glanced at Hu Xier and smiled gently: "I only hope that in the future troubled times, you can protect my daughter!"
“Dad!”
Hu Xier's delicate body trembled and her eyes were blurred with tears.
Liu Zheng nodded heavily without hesitation.
Qingyang Suo, a very charming man, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, sir, Qingyang Suo is not a pedantic person. From now on, I will follow you in the name of Qingyang!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed.
Qingyang Shuo immediately asked Hu Xier to bring some wine and some side dishes. The two sat facing each other.
In fact, this is the first time that Liu Zheng has invited such a big shot to come out. As for the process, he doesn't quite understand it and can only sit here.
Qingyang Suo laughed and said, "Although Suo is just a country bumpkin, he always keeps an eye on the big picture. As you said, now Long Yan is not afraid of internal strife, but external enemies. If internal strife breaks out, the whole world will punish it! If external enemies invade, the whole world will be in chaos!"
Liu Zheng deeply agreed with this.
To put it bluntly, although the Longyan Dynasty was corrupt, it was not yet to the point where the peasants were starving and tyrants were in power.
Therefore, ordinary civil unrest could not overthrow this dynasty.
Qingyang Suo said: "Since Suo has asked you three questions, you can answer them!"
Liu Zheng was very excited, knowing that this was a rare opportunity, and pondered these three questions in his mind. But in the end, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sir, those three paintings... How do you speculate about Zheng's situation in Liangzhou?"
Qingyang Suo smiled elegantly and said, "This is not difficult. My lord, you should know that the world is like a chess piece, and human affairs are the pieces. Although Suo has never left his house, he knows everything about the world."
He gently stroked his hand in front of his face, and it seemed as if a chessboard appeared in front of him.
Liu Zheng nodded.
Qingyang Suo continued, "Everything in the world is in one's heart. Even if someone as strange as you suddenly appears, one can guess that the people around you are guilty and changing. What do you think?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, full of admiration.
This person has a very thorough understanding of the situation and the world. That's right, when Liu Zheng appeared in Yinzhou, Chen Ping's reaction, the Queen's reaction, and the Baiya Army's reaction were all within his calculations.
Liu Zheng asked again: "Sir, how is Liangzhou?"
Qingyang Suo said calmly: "The general trend of the world lies in Zhongzhou, Fengzhou, Jiangdong, Jinghua, and Runan, so no one cares about Liangzhou! However, Suo has always lived in Liangzhou, and he feels that if Liangzhou prospers, it will have the momentum of a tiger swallowing up mountains and rivers!"
Liu Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Teacher, teach me!"
Qingyang said calmly: "My lord, you have occupied the two states of Yin and Yang. Although they are poor, they are actually the right time!"
"Recently, the young master demolished the city wall, and Ruo was amazed!"
"If those who have military power can establish themselves in the world, they can make friends far away and attack those near."
"Yinyang is integrated, and can reach Liangzhou in the east. Go west to Loulan, south to Hanzhong, and north to Baiya! Hanzhong Yong Wang is stupid and incompetent, so there is no need to worry too much, just take it slowly. The Baiya army pretends to be friendly in order to collect gold, silver and food! Liangzhou Jin Gongzi has no achievements, and the war in the north is tense, so there is no time to take care of it!"
Qingyang Shuo's eyes moved slightly: "Shuo believes that the current emperor will only have three years left at most!"
"Within three years, you can store up food, strengthen your army, and attack Hanzhong... and march westward!"
"What?"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
It must be said that great talents are great talents! While Liu Zheng was still thinking about how to develop his own territory and was ready to make a move, Qingyang Suo's eyes were already on Loulan in the west!
Go west!
This was a question that Liu Zheng had never dared to think about before, but now, after Qingyang Suo said this, his mind began to become active.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan was also a very powerful country in this world, and it had never disappeared in the long river of history. Although it was not as powerful as the Longyan Dynasty, it was also a large sovereign country, and it did not even submit to the Longyan Dynasty and become a vassal state.
But what is stronger than the Huns is the ancient kingdom of Loulan, which is more Buddhist and develops its own territory. Even if its own territory is rich, it will not come out to rob you of your food resources.
Therefore, Liangzhou, a place separated from Loulan by only a desert, has not been invaded by Loulan for many years.
Almost, people have forgotten the existence of this country.
But today... Qingyang Shuo's suggestion is quite vicious! When he said to go west, he certainly didn't mean to attack Loulan. With Liu Zheng's current military strength, that would be courting death! However, he could develop commerce and even open up a Silk Road! What would it mean to take all his money-making stuff to the West?
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng's breathing stopped.
He felt ashamed of Qingyang Suo's foresight!
Is this the first person in the Longyan Dynasty who truly saw the world with his own eyes?
Great talent!
This is real talent!
And most importantly, after moving westward, they can use Loulan’s military strength to usher in the chaotic times of the Longyan Dynasty!
Kill two birds with one stone!
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Sir, I don't want to be the one who leads the enemy to slaughter the people..."
Qingyang Suo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "My lord, you misunderstood. Suo is definitely not the kind of person who would massacre the people! The general trend of the world is repetitive, and we can only follow the will of heaven. How can you and I tamper with the destiny of heaven?"
Liu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He was afraid that Qingyang Suo was a guy who was eager to seek revenge on the Longyan royal family, and was even willing to disregard the lives of the people of the world and bear the infamy.
"Sir, you are a man of great talent! Your words are enough to benefit you for the rest of your life!"
Liu Zheng bowed again.
Qingyang Shuo said: "I have another question."
Liu Zheng looked embarrassed: "Sir, what are Zheng's chances of winning?"
Qingyang Suo finally couldn't help laughing: "Young Master, if you say that the world is united, it can defeat thousands of troops! Why are you afraid of those vassal kings and snakes and rats?"
Liu Zheng was so excited that he wished he could bring Qingyang Suo to his own Yintan City today.
Qingyang Suo said there was no rush.
Liu Zheng was asked to come back to pick them up in three days, so Liu Zheng could only bow and leave.
Wait for Liu Zheng to leave on horseback.
Qingyang Shuo's eyes slowly retracted, and he kept muttering to himself: "The world is united, the world is united, but when you are the ruler of the world, how many people are willing to be united?"
Hu Xier snorted, "Dad, this Mr. Liu is just trying to fool you!"
Qingyang Suo caressed his daughter's head lovingly: "Fool, Dad just said that he had the talent of a king and a tyrant, but he was being conservative. This is roughly the same, he has the talent of an emperor! Go and clean it up..."
"father!"
…
Liu Zheng was quite excited along the way.
Over the past two months, all the doubts in his heart have been cleared up. How could he not be happy to receive such a talented person like Qingyang Suo?
After returning to Yintan City, Du Biao was still waiting. When he saw Liu Zheng coming back, he pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Liu, you made me wait for so long. Is this your way of entertaining guests?"
Liu Zheng quickly apologized and the two of them laughed and sat down at their seats.
Zheng Yueru and Du Biao were curious about what Liu Zheng was doing, but they didn't ask any further questions.
Du Biao looked at Liu Zheng expectantly and asked with a smile: "Brother Liu, my suggestion just now..."
This matter is related to the equipment upgrade of the Baiya Army, so he has to be cautious.
After all, the fine iron used in Yinzhou's spears could not be refined by the Baiya Army. Liu Zheng had just agreed to it, but he didn't expect that after returning from his trip , he would start to show off to him. He didn't know that Liu Zheng was no longer the same Liu Zheng as before.
Liu Zheng picked up the teacup with a smile, took a sip, then slowly looked at Du Biao and said something shocking.
"Brother Du, to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry, it is not enough to have only a spear. Zheng has another magic weapon. Do you want to see it?"
"What?"
Du Biao stood up with a bang.
Zheng Yueru also looked over curiously.
When did Liu Zheng come up with something new?
Liu Zheng smiled without saying anything, and brought the two to the "Divine Weapon Shop" in Yintan City! This is the new name Liu Zheng gave to his weapon shop! Originally, this place was intended to produce weapons and equipment for Yinzhou soldiers, but from the current situation, the Divine Weapon Shop also needs to be expanded. Liu Zheng wants to make it the largest arsenal in the entire Longyan Dynasty!
"Wei Tiezhu!"
When they arrived at the Divine Weapon Workshop, Liu Zheng shouted loudly.
"I'm here!"
"Bring me a knife!"
"yes!"
A specially made long knife appeared in front of several people.
Du Biao's eyes widened instantly.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
This was the first Mo Dao in the world that he had asked Wei Tiezhu to make a few days ago!
