Keyboard Immortal Chapter 550: shooting myself in the foot
The two complained to each other, apparently they had been separated for too long in the last trial.
Zuan was even more so, because he lived alone for decades after the other party "died". Now, when he saw the girl in front of him, he just giggled with joy. .
Originally, this time I came to talk about business, but unfortunately, the relationship is at stake. Neither of the two said anything else, but only talked about their thoughts and affection for each other.
The two rubbed their ears and temples, each full of affection, and soon the temperature in the bed gradually increased.
Pei Mianman soon became short of breath, her eyes were blurred, and her green cheeks had a natural charm. Although Zaan already knew her beauty, he was still stunned by another look.
She blushed, and hurriedly pressed the other's hands: "Beast, you are still so young."
Zuan was both angry and funny: "We've been married for so many years, what need to say."
Pei Mianman remembered the charming style in the palace of Yindu all day after one person was the king in the previous life, and his body softened, and he leaned on it actively.
…
After a while, there was a sound of coquettish laughter from the bed, and Pei Mianman looked at his lover and laughed wildly.
Zuan's face was black, and he remembered that he was not too old in this world, really...
"Okay, don't think about that, I just want to talk to you quietly." Pei Mianman smiled and put his face on his chest, enjoying the feeling of snuggling in his arms.
Zuan couldn't help but smile as he calmed down as he continued to chat about what happened to them after the separation.
The night passed quickly, and Zaun quietly left before dawn. Otherwise, if he was found, it would not be as simple as breaking his leg. There are many terrible punishments in this era.
In the next period of time, the two were inseparable and glued together, and people around them sighed that the relationship between their brother and sister was really good.
In order to avoid being suspected, every time the two of them are together publicly, they bring their sister Sancai, so that no one will think wrong.
Sancai is naturally happy to play with her brothers and sisters, but unfortunately, her young mind does not understand that she is just a light bulb and a tool in the eyes of her brothers and sisters.
On this day, they took Sancai to play in the palace and played with her for a while. After the maids left, they tricked her into playing in the mud.
Zuan and Pei Mianman went to the other side to chat, the childishness they kept in front of others faded away, replaced by the solemnity of adults.
"Azu, what do you think this trial is about?" Pei Mianman's face was worried. Although he knew that the real world outside was only a moment away, the two of them had already passed the trial. decades.
They don't want to be trapped in this trial forever, so after being tired of being together in the past few days and breaking out of lovesickness, now their reason is gradually returning, and they are starting to think about business.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "I think the key lies in Zhou Ren."
"Zhou?" Pei Mianman was taken aback,
It was only then that I gradually remembered the Wuding Dynasty in the previous life. They also planned to deal with the Zhou people at first, but unfortunately they were distracted by other things at that time, and they forgot about it later.
"Yes, although there is no clear evidence, it is common sense that since Shang was destroyed by Zhou, most of their trials will be related to Zhou." Zaan replied.
Pei Mianman said puzzled: "This is a secret trial for the people of the Shang Dynasty. If it is set up like this, it proves that they knew that they would be replaced by the Zhou people, so why didn't they act sooner? And they were destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty. The time is also short, I am afraid there is no time to do such a huge project again?"
Zuan shook his head and said, "People in the world think that King Zhou is the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty. In fact, the merchants were defeated in the Battle of Muye. King Zhou and Daji Lutai set themselves on fire. Zhou entered the Central Plains, but the Shang did not completely perish. At that time, the crown prince of King Zhou inherited the King of Shang and continued to preserve the sacrifices of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, the Song Kingdom and Jizi Korea were established by some of the Shang Dynasty survivors, so they were all capable of establishing this trial site. ."
Pei Mianman nodded and asked curiously, "Have you dealt with Zhou Ren in your last life?"
Zuan was a little embarrassed: "Of course other forces around the Shang Dynasty were stronger than Zhou. At that time, Zhou was obviously not even a threat. How to deal with them? Plus after you died in childbirth, I was like a The Walking Dead, where can I think of anything else."
Pei Mianman has a hint of love and pity on his brows, and holds his hand tightly: "Azu, it's hard for you."
Zuan held her tender little hand in return and sighed: "It's still worse for you. You have experienced death yourself."
Pei Mianman's eyes turned red, and she bit her lip: "It was really scary that time, and it made me dare not have children in the future."
"If you don't give birth, you won't give birth, anyway, don't we have one now?" Looking at his sister San Cai, who was dirty playing with mud, the two of them laughed in unison.
Although they are called brothers and sisters, both of them are the souls of adults in their bodies. They look at the youngest sister as if they were daughters.
It seems that she felt the ridicule of the two, Sancai turned her head and looked at the two of them snuggling together, and hurriedly rushed over with mud all over her body: "Brother and sister, I want to hug, I want to hug too! "
…
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Pei Mianman's fate has become more and more troubled, while Zaan has vaguely restored his former handsomeness.
Even Sancai, who had a runny nose and played in the mud all day as a child, has grown into a slim girl.
Zuan felt that the time had flown a little too fast, ten years should be a long time, but he felt like it was fleeting.
It's like watching those TV dramas in the former world. The protagonist ran happily in the fields when he was a child, and a subtitle appeared when he ran: Ten years later...
Then the little kid was replaced by an adult male protagonist.
Zuan shook his head, pushing the absurdity out of his mind. Although these years have passed quickly, he and Pei Mianman have not been idle and have been studying Zhou Ren.
During the reign of Wu Ding, the Queen's wife Hao led 13,000 people and defeated the Qiang side. Although the Qiang side was defeated, the Shang was unable to destroy it.
However, after many years of attack by merchants, the Qiang side has also split into many tribes, harassing the northwest of the Shang Dynasty from time to time.
At this time, the Shang Dynasty used various affiliated vassal states to help deal with these scattered tribes, and the Zhou people were also one of the vassal states.
During dozens of hundreds of years of conquest, the Zhou people gradually emerged from the vassal states in the west. Taking advantage of the fact that the division of the Qiang side led to a vacuum in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the Shang Dynasty was beyond the reach of the Shang Dynasty, they gradually eroded the territory of the former Qiang side.
Of course, it is not only the Zhou people who are eyeing this territory, but also other vassal states, but the leader of this Zhou people is called Ji Li, and it is simply the reincarnation of Long Aotian. At the same time, he intermarryed with the nobles of the Shang Dynasty, and also maintained a good relationship with other vassal states. It can be said that he can fight and engage in diplomacy.
Even the king of Shang named him the head of the Western princes.
Seeing that the Zhou people who were weak and remote in the past are now so powerful, Zuan and Pei Mianman are extremely worried. Over the years, they have been persuading their "father," Wen Ding, to be wary of dealing with the Zhou people.
I don't know if the wind in the ears of the two had an effect, or if the power of the Zhou people was really strong enough to cause Wen Ding's fear, he found a reason to invite Ji Li to the capital, and then found a reason to kill Ji Li.
Zuan and Pei Mianman were very speechless. How could they know that Wen Ding's methods were so simple and rude, and the Zhou people's forces were there, what was the use of killing a leader? This move was a huge loss of people's hearts. With so many vassal states in the world, seeing the end of Ji Li, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad.
Especially Zaan knows better, this season calendar is so good, the more fierce Zhou people, Wen Wang Ji Chang and Wu Wang Ji Fa, have not yet appeared.
Wen Ding didn't take it seriously, and even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty didn't think it was a big deal to execute a vassal king. Since ancient times, Shang kings have done this. , then kill and replace one, if you are not convinced, just fight a battle.
The brave warriors of Yindu will teach those feudal states to be human beings. At the same time, the foundation of the Shang Dynasty also requires war, and relying on war to capture a large number of slaves, whether it is used as hard labor or as a sacrifice.
But it soon proved that they had miscalculated, because the barbarians in the east of the Huai River invaded with unprecedented might.
The vassal states to the east of the merchants who acted as barriers do not know whether it was because Ji Li was innocently killed, the rabbit died and the fox did not work hard, or it was really not an opponent.
At this time, bad news also came from the west. Because the leader Ji Li was innocently killed, the whole country of Zhou was extremely angry, and the army was ready to attack the Shang Dynasty.
Although the Shang Dynasty was strong, this time the Huaiyi army was very powerful. If the Zhou people attacked from the west again and were attacked by the enemy, they would obviously not be able to withstand it.
At this time, a minister proposed a solution. Shang and Zhou have always had a good relationship. It was only because the Ji Li was killed that they turned against each other. They could be appeased by marriage, so that the crisis in the west would be solved.
Princess Chaomu, who is always beautiful and moving, is the perfect choice for marriage.
