Chapter 174 Luck (Part 1)

July of the 16th year

The army of King Wu sent troops to condemn generals in Jiangling City and decided to fight with the Shu army.

The Duke of Shu is very strong, and then the two heroes will fight each other, and it is hard to say who will win or lose.

The problem of the dragon vein was solved, and Jiangling's intelligence was urgently transmitted back to Wu and Yue, so Zhou Ji was ordered to rush to Jiangling and had already boarded the big ship.

The river flows down the river and can reach Jiangling directly.

The ship was filled with hundreds of guards and the official banner of the King of Wu. The journey was very smooth. Seeing that it would arrive in Jiangling in another day, Zhou Ji calmed down.

The cabin of the big ship is very simple and clean.

It was the hot summer, and the weather was getting hotter and there were countless mosquitoes on the river.

The sun in the sky shines on the world, and the entire water surface is shrouded in a faint light. With the scenery on both sides of the shore, you don’t have to pay attention to the disturbances of mosquitoes during the day, which is naturally pleasing to the eyes.

Zhou Ji was watching without any thoughts. He was in the cabin and was sorting out the information sent from time to time with the accompanying officials.

There was a little heat outside, and Zhou Ji's cabin was cooler.

There is a small table table in the cabin with tea, desserts and long table table table table, with pen, ink, paper, ink, paper and inkstone and some books.

The incense is still burning in the incense burner next to it, causing the whole room to waft a faint fragrance with a awakening effect.

Zhou Ji also placed two couches in his starting position, and there were two officials of very low rank sitting on these two couches.

An elderly official, wearing a seventh-rank official uniform, was fifty years old, and looked very strong. He sat upright on the couch and had a very tall figure. However, according to the rules of Dayan, from the ninth-rank to the seventh-rank, he would retire from the officialdom in the fifty-five years.

The reason is very simple. Lower officials have heavy official duties and are over 55 years old, and it is difficult for them to work full of energy.

Those who are from the seventh to the fifth rank, retire at the age of sixty, and those who are from the fifth rank or above and those who are from the seventy are called "retirement". Of course, some special ministers are not included in this rule.

The young official is only about thirty years old, and he is also in the eighth-rank official uniform, with an ordinary appearance and a calm temperament.

The two were flipping through the messy information coming, sorting out important information and handing it to Zhou Ji.

Even on the boat, the information about the battle on the river continued to come. Zhou Ji had been thinking about the situation of the Wu and Shu armies in the past few days, and also watched and summarized the information that was constantly coming. He had very little sleep, and even his healthy body showed a hint of fatigue.

The room was filled with a scent of awakening, and sleepiness was also coming.

"Didn't there be any information delivered today?" Zhou Ji asked the two of them.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xun has not sent today's information yet, maybe it has been delayed by the heavy rain today." The older official replied.

Xungu and Zhou Ji were on the same boat, responsible for contacting Jiangling, and taking daily stops and purchasing and receiving information. After hearing this, Zhou Ji was not easy to care about.

The information from yesterday has not been sorted out. No matter how big or small the information from Dayan will be sent to him. Only by reading these can you understand the situation better.

Even if you take important views, this information is enough to make people feel troublesome.

"Yesterday's information has been sorted out, right? Give it to me."

"promise."

A thick stack of information was placed on a long table next to it in the form of a scroll.

Zhou Ji rubbed his eyebrows with his hands, and suddenly he felt clear. He sat back in front of the long table table, picked up the scroll and started reading.

When the arrogant Yanlong Qi turned to Wei Yue, Zhou Ji's body began to have problems.

If a practitioner uses magic power to interfere with the energy of the world, he will inevitably be backfired.

If it weren't for the Pingshan Seal suppressing the backlash of the dragon energy, Zhou Ji would have been even more obvious at this time. Of course, if all the energy is used on him, it would be enough to resist this backlash.

Unfortunately, it is not possible now. However, Zhou Ji is now a fifth-rank official, and he has his own luck to protect himself, and he is not afraid of emptiness. As long as he overcomes this difficulty, he can naturally absorb his luck and thicken himself, and gradually withdraw the dragon energy to himself and absorb and transform.

But now, after coughing a few times, Zhou Ji felt the pain in his body, but his heart calmed down.

After reading the information in front of him, he had to organize the memorial to the King of Wu. If this was not completed, he would not dare to rest at all.

The constant light cough made the two officials look at each other.

The two officials have low positions, but they are old people from the King of Wu's Mansion. They work secretly on matters of all kinds every day. If they do not slacken off, they can be promoted to three levels after "retirement" and enjoy full salary. Of course, the most important thing is that their sons can go to the office on the right path and have a broad future.

The two of them were together day and night, and they were very familiar with each other. They knew that Zhou Ji was in poor health recently, so they exchanged glances with each other.

"Mr. Zhou, you haven't had a good sleep for a few days. It's already afternoon. Should you sleep for a while? Xiaguan and Lord Zhang are sorting out the information here. When the time comes, they will call you." The young official spoke in persuasion.

The older official surnamed Zhang even said directly: "Please put your health first."

"Haha, two sirs, I know your kindness. But the situation is urgent. The lord leads his army to fight. The battle is fierce. The Dayan is eyeing the vassal states. At this critical moment, if you don't organize the strategy and hand it over to the lord, you really dare not fall asleep..." Zhou Ji smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said.

"Sir, loyalty and righteousness, and the officials were impressed." After hearing this, the two officials looked solemn, stood up, and bowed to Zhou Ji who was sitting in front of him with a serious look: "Sir, he was willing to drag his sick body and work hard for the state affairs. This really makes me ashamed. We will learn from Mr. and devote ourselves to the lord!"

Zhou Ji sighed lightly, just letting them sit down without saying much.

As a practitioner, Zhou Ji did not value power himself very much, but he paid attention to position and title representing luck.

Although everything I have done now is the meaning of the master, my feelings for Wei Yue are also very complicated.

After decades of ups and downs, he was hostile to the King of Wu. After countless incidents, he also watched a soldier climbing to the position of King of Wu.

This is still in the relationship.

Although I now know that I am the Dragon Son of the Great Yan, I am actually hostile to the King of Wu, I still smiled bitterly.

After decades of hard work, the most important years of life have been devoted to this world game. Before I knew it, wrinkles have grown and white hair has been dyed.

The outcome of this game of "the world is the game and the world is the chess", is not only related to the fate of the people in the world, but also to his future destiny.

The way of heaven is unpredictable.

Others don’t know Zhou Ji’s thoughts, but this indifferent attitude made the two officials admire him more and more.

The work of sorting continues.

There was a man on the deck of this big ship looking at the view from the railing.

The brilliance of the summer sun enveloped the sky, and the summer was thick and pouring onto the boat. Fortunately, there was a wind in the river, which made the green robe sound.

There are traces of time passing on his face and eyes, and this is Zhou Ji's junior brother Xungu.

Xungu looked up at the sky.

Even during the day, the sky is actually densely covered with stars, flickering, condensing, dark, and shining stars, shining on the starry sky. All monks know this.

Both of them are monks from Fubai Mountain, Zhou Ji has excellent talent, and Xun Gu's qualifications can only be considered ordinary. They are not as good as Zhou Ji in terms of practice or military strategy.

Holding the two-minute command in his hand, Xungu smiled bitterly.

These two instructions come from different locations, but they are basically the same.

Death from illness, I was granted a title, and I was mourned and honored.

Corpse dissection, decree, and divine way.

Zhou Ji's road has come to an end. Although he understands it in his heart and can pave the way, Xungu still has incomparable bitterness.

It is false to say that there is no affection, but the orders from both sides made him unable to resist.

It’s just that the way of nature is unpredictable. Xungu is unsure of what he did in the end.

Standing on the boat, looking at the sparks on the shore.

He doesn't know where he returns to the world.

"Mr. Xun, a signal from the shore ahead is that a small boat is coming." A personal soldier walked to his side and said in a low voice.

Xungu had long been accustomed to this and said lightly: "Let them come over and send them a signal."

"No!" The personal soldier took the order. After a while, the ship waved with a flag and conveyed a message to the shore.

After confirmation, a small boat came over from the shore.

The ship also stopped at this time, and personal soldiers gathered to protect Xungu.

"But the boat Lord Zhou was riding? Let's come to deliver the newspaper." After approaching the big ship, there were several people on the small boat at the helm. One of them asked, and with the light of the fire, he saw that he was a burly man standing here.

Without a direct answer, the personal soldiers on the boat looked at Xungu.

Until he saw Xungu nodding slightly, a personal soldier stepped forward and led the man to board the big ship alone with his things.

After being led to Xungu, the man bowed and handed over the information he brought to Xungu.

Seeing that he received it, he bowed and got off the big ship agilely and left quickly on the small boat.

"Continue to sail." After instructing the sergeant on the ship, Xungu turned back to his cabin with the information.

At this time, two officials in the cabin where Zhou Ji was located had finished handling the matter.

"You go and rest in the afternoon first." Zhou Ji looked up at them and saw that these two people had been working hard for a long time. Generally speaking, they could rest at noon. They were either practitioners, but if their bodies were really collapsed, they said loudly.

The two of them were indeed sleepy. After hearing Zhou Ji's orders, they left the room and turned back their cabin.

After rubbing his eyebrows, Zhou Ji looked through the information coming from all over the country, feeling the situation was tense.

News came from the front line that the Wu and Chu coalition forces started a war on the river surface. They had been fighting for several days, but the situation did not proceed as expected.

Although the Duke of Shu had only 20,000 naval commanders, they had firearms. These large number of firearms were put into battle, causing a stagnation in both sides.

It’s hard to say if there is only a battle, but it’s hard to say until the end.

Moreover, the vassal states and princes in various places are watching the result of this battle between the two heroes. As time goes by, I am afraid that it will change sooner or later.

The most important thing is that although Wu is pacified, the roots below have not been cleaned except for the branches and leaves.
