Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 104
In the end, Goujian still decided to take people to prepare congratulatory gifts and go to the state of Wu to congratulate him.

For the entourage he chose, the civil servants only brought Fengtong, the generals brought Luo Changfeng, and the guards only had four swordsmen and one hundred armored soldiers.

The reason for bringing Fengtong is because he has always been in charge of contacting Wu's domestic affairs. In history, it was also he and Wu Guotai Zai Bopi who slandered Wu Zixu together.

As the saying goes, the enemy's enemy is our hero, for Wu Guo and later generations who read history, Bo Pi is just a villain who deserves death.

But for today's Yue Kingdom, he is indispensable. Without this person, Goujian would have been reduced to loess.

It's a pity that Fengtong and Bopi didn't end well. After Goujian destroyed Wu, they were also the targets of Goujian's "killing the bow and hiding the bow, and cooking the rabbit to death".

……

Night, General's Mansion.

Inside the green curtain, Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing lay down hugging each other.

"Ah Qing, tomorrow I will go to Wu Kingdom with the king, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to shepherd the sheep for a while."

Upon hearing this, Ah Qing said nonchalantly, "Then I'll go with you too."

Luo Changfeng said helplessly: "I'm afraid it won't work. The team going to Wu is all men, and the king didn't even bring the queen. If I take you, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."

Ah Qing twisted her body and said coquettishly, "No! I don't want to be separated from you."

Luo Changfeng was a bit dumbfounded, "But I'm a general, and I'm going to fight in the future. When I can't fight, I will take you with me, right?"

Ah Qing took it for granted: "Then why not? I can still help you!"

Luo Changfeng was startled for a moment, and suddenly a dazed expression appeared on his face, that's right, it's been a long time since Ah Qing made a move, he almost forgot that Ah Qing is a peerless master of martial arts stronger than him.

Luo Changfeng thought for a while, and said, "Okay! At that time, I will discuss with the king, and I will bring you with me, but you may have to dress up like a man."

"Well, as long as you let me follow you, I will listen to you."

Hearing Ah Qing's unpretentious but deeply attached words, Luo Changfeng's heart almost melted.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

……

The next day, outside the palace.

The entourage had assembled early, Luo Changfeng hung a long sword from his waist, and Ah Qing, who was disguised as a woman and also had a sword in his waist, stood at the bottom of the steps.

Over the years, Goujian found Xue Zhu, an apprentice of Ou Yezi, to forge weapons for the Yue Kingdom. With some effective suggestions from Luo Changfeng, the level of Yue Kingdom's weapon casting was greatly improved.

The swords of the Yue Kingdom are no longer as heavy as before, but much lighter. The shape of the sword has also shrunk a lot, but its sharpness and toughness are stronger than the previous swords.

Although it is still a bronze sword, one of Xue Zhu's manufacturing techniques is said to be 2000 years ahead of the world. This technique is the "composite metal technique", that is, it is composited into one body by two castings.

This complex alloy process was not used in some western countries until modern times. Another point is about copper sulfide anti-rust.

In the 60s of the twentieth century, the King Yue Sword was unearthed. After more than 2000 years, the sword is still shining golden, cold, and the blade is extremely sharp. The decorations on the sword are still clearly visible.

Experts used modern science to study the material of the sword itself, and finally found that the Yuewang sword used reasonable tin components to maintain the strength and extensibility of the sword.

The reason why the sword is stainless is mainly because the surface of the sword is covered with sulfur, so the sword is guaranteed to be stainless for 2000 years.

Because Yue Guo's sword became light and compact, even Ah Qing could use it freely, so she no longer held her bamboo stick, but changed to a sword.

After all, in the escort team with spears and swords, a guard with a bamboo stick appeared, that was too eye-catching.

Four first-generation swordsmen stood side by side behind Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing, and Feng on the other side glanced at Ah Qing from time to time, with an extremely strange expression on his face.

Ah Qing saw that he was always looking at herself, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "What do you look at me for? Doesn't my outfit look good?"

In fact, Ah Qing's appearance in men's clothing is not unattractive. On the contrary, Ah Qing in men's clothing has a somewhat different charm than when she is in women's clothing.

Of course, wearing men's clothes is just a matter of face. In fact, the ancients were not blind, and they couldn't even distinguish between men and women. Among other things, the small figure and slender waist are not something men can have.

Those scenes in film and television dramas where people can't tell she's a woman by wearing men's clothing and having a man's hairstyle are naturally just to fool the audience.

Hearing Ah Qing's words, Feng Tong clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to clear his throat. He knew that Ah Qing was a country girl who didn't know how to be polite, and Luo Changfeng doted on her very much and didn't let her learn those red tapes. He didn't care about her talking unceremoniously to him.

Immediately she smiled at Ah Qing and said, "Looks good and looks good. No matter whether Madam wears men's or women's clothing, she is generally good-looking, but I don't understand. Madam's dress is for..."

Ah Qing said crisply: "I want to go to Wu country with you!"

There was such an expression on Feng Tong's face, he looked at the expressionless Luo Changfeng with a half-smile, and thought to himself that General Luo really spoiled his wife so much that he wouldn't let his wife stay away for a moment.

Not long after, Goujian, accompanied by Fan Liwenzhong and other ministers, left the palace and walked down the steps. Everyone saw Ah Qing without any surprise.

Goujian asked Luo Changfeng in surprise, "Changfeng, what is this?"

Luo Changfeng clasped his fists to Gou Jian and said solemnly: "My lord, going to Wu country this time is no different from going into a tiger's den. There are not many people in Wu country who are hostile to us and Yue country."

"Ah Qing's swordsmanship is still higher than that of the last general. To protect the safety of the king, the last general specially brought Ah Qing with him as a precautionary measure."

Gou Jian nodded solemnly when he heard the words, and said: "This statement is reasonable, I am afraid that Wu Zixu will not allow the widow to reach Gusu smoothly."

After speaking, he smiled at Ah Qing, Ah Qing also smiled back, then Gou Jian turned around and gave a brief explanation to Fan Li and the others, then got into the carriage among them, and ordered to set off.

Feng Tong got into the carriage in front of Goujian, and the ones driving Goujian were naturally Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing, and the other four swordsmen each drove the front and back of Goujian's carriage.

For the remaining 20 soldiers, 80 people drove the carriages pulling goods, and 40 people were divided into two teams, with [-] people on one side, guarding both sides of the carriage.

This small convoy left Kuaiji City and headed for Gusu City, more than 320 miles away.

After a short journey, I arrived at the bank of the Qiantang River in Yuhang. (Yuhang is the later Hangzhou, which originated from Dayu's water control here). It was getting dark, so Goujian ordered to camp here and cross the river tomorrow.

There is a boat division (water army) of the Yue Kingdom stationed here, so it is convenient to cross the river. After crossing the Qiantang River and passing through Yuhang, it is the border of the Kingdom of Wu.

At least, they are safe in Yuhang territory.
