Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 205 The Way Is Different

Looking at Si Bu, Xu Jin has already understood the real purpose of Qi State at this moment. The matter is actually not complicated, but he did not expect that there will be Dasheng's participation in it, so he is too cautious about Qi State's purpose Some.

After listening to Si Bu's words now, Xu Jin has basically understood the whole story and what Qi Guo's plan is. They stay out of it.

Of course, Qi Guo's considerations should be more than that. The possibilities that Xu Jin thought of before may also be one of Qi Guo's considerations, but this whole thing is really not a bad thing for Gu Jiu today. , and it might be an opportunity.

Even though Chen Guo is gone now, the relationship between Gu Jiu and Jing Guo is still very tense. Xu Jin has not forgotten that Jing Guo's plan before was originally intended to get rid of herself along with it. , although Jing Guo did not succeed, but Xu Jin will not forget this matter easily, presumably Jing Guo will not let go of the grievances with him easily.

Since the grievances with Jing Guo could not be let go, the purpose of Dasheng this time seemed to be a purely good thing to Xu Jin, but Xu Jin knew very well that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

There seems to be no difference between helping Dasheng to deal with Jingguo and Xu Jin dealing with Jingguo by himself, but in fact it is not. The most fundamental difference is that Xu Jin deals with Jingguo by himself. The grievances between He Gujiu and Jingguo, but if they help Dasheng deal with Jingguo, there is a risk of getting involved in the game between Dasheng and those powerful vassal states. Qiguo also understands this, so They will back down.

After these thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, Xu Jin spoke to Si Bu slowly.

"Si Zhenyin's words have been made quite clear, but when it comes to doubts, I do have some doubts!"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Si Bu continued to play with the wine glass in his hand, then looked at Xu Jin and said.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"

"I want to know, if Dasheng chooses to let Gu Jiu deal with Jingguo, what kind of help will Dasheng provide Gu Jiu?" Hearing Xu Jin, you looked at Si Bu and asked a key question.

Hearing Xu Jin ask this question, Si Buzheng stopped playing with the wine glass in his hand, then smiled and said.

"Spiritual materials, pills, exercises, and even the treasures of the gods, Dasheng can provide you with everything you want, but there is a prerequisite for these, that is, you have to show the corresponding value. The situation, the help you can get will not be too much, and if you measure it with spiritual materials, the value should be a hundred times that of what Qi State gave you before!"

While Si Bu said these words, he was also carefully paying attention to Xu Jin's expression, as if hoping to see a trace of emotion from Xu Jin's face. What didn't disappoint him was that after he finished speaking, Xu Jin's expression was still very calm, and the two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't detect any emotional changes.

After Si Bu's voice fell, Xu Jin was silent for a while, and Qi Yang and Han Huang, who were on the side, stared at Xu Jin and Si Bu at this moment, neither of them said a word.

After about five or six breaths, Si Bu seemed to feel that his strength just now was not enough, so he continued to speak.

"Of course, if you are willing to agree, I will help you get more benefits in a moment, and the help you can get from Dasheng will definitely be more than you imagined!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Jin finally had a reaction. He looked at Si Bu and asked again.

"If I agree, what does Dasheng want me to do?"

The biggest risk in agreeing to help Dasheng deal with Jingguo is that it may become a pawn in the game between Dasheng and those more powerful vassal states. Xu Jin knew this very well, but before he spoke just now, he also Think of more.

The relationship between Gujiu and Jingguo is difficult to relax in the first place, and there will definitely be conflicts in the future. Instead of worrying about becoming a pawn in the game between the two sides and bearing more pressure, it is better to think about the issue of survival first. .

Assuming that he does not agree, Dasheng still chooses the country of Qi in the end. Gu Jiu is caught between the two countries. The place.

Furthermore, Xu Jin didn't think it was a bad thing to get involved in the game between Dasheng and several powerful vassal states. As long as the benefits outweighed the risks, he could do it, and he had no choice in the first place.

However, even if he becomes a pawn on the chessboard, Xu Jin does not want to be a pawn that is completely at the mercy of others. He must have enough autonomy so that he can jump out of the chessboard later.

Hearing Xu Jin's question, Si Bu directly put down the wine glass in his hand, and then said to Xu Jin.

"Dasheng hopes that you can teach Jingguo a lesson as soon as possible. You can decide how to do it yourself, but you must do what you have to do well. That's all I can promise you!"

After Si Bu finished speaking, he filled his wine glass with wine, then raised the wine glass in his hand, and looked at Xu Jin with a smile on his face.

Looking at Si Bu who raised his glass, Xu Jin also slowly raised his glass, looked at Si Bu and said.

"So, I agree to this matter, thank you!"

After the words fell, the two toasted and drank at the same time. Qi Yang and Han Huang on the side looked at each other when they saw this. Although their faces were a little worried, their hearts were full of Xu Jin's choice. But a little bit happy.

The state of Chen was destroyed. Although it was the state of Qi that did it in name in the end, the two of them knew very well that the culprit for the destruction of the state of Chen was Jing Guo. Now Xu Jin accepted Dasheng's help and wanted to continue to deal with Jing Guo. , as the people of Chen Guo, they will naturally feel happy.

"Wise choice!"

Si Bu put down his wine glass, looked at Xu Jin with a smile and said.

This trip to Gujiu, he felt that things were almost as smooth as he imagined, and he also met two old friends here, which made him feel that the trip was worthwhile.

But now that the matter was done, Si Bu felt that there was no need for him to stay, so after drinking the glass of wine, he stood up directly and said to the three of Xu Jin.

"Since Bingzhu Xu agreed, then the purpose of my trip has been achieved. Next, I will go back and tell the other people who came with me, so as to win more benefits for you. This is the only thing I have now. I can do it for you!"

Hearing Si Bu's words, Xu Jin and the three also stood up. Qi Yang and Han Huang wanted to keep Si Bu, but Si Bu refused. Seeing this, the two knew that Si Bu had decided to go, so So she didn't want to stay anymore, but Xu Jin said aloud at this time.

"I'll send Si Zhenyin off, I just happen to have something to say to you!"

Si Bu heard the words, looked at Xu Jin, and finally nodded, and the two walked towards the outside of Gujiu City together.

Walking all the way out of the city, there were no pedestrians on the street at this time, and it seemed very quiet. Si Bu turned his head and glanced at Xu Jin beside him, and asked him.

"What does Bingzhu Xu want to tell me?"

"It's not a big deal, but seeing Si Zhenyin today, I suddenly remembered how I was ambushed at the border when I returned from Qi State to Chen State!"

When Xu Jin heard Si Bu's words, she also turned her head to look at him, and said.

"It was precisely because of the meritorious service made by Bingzhu Xu at that time that he was promoted by the emperor to become the Bingzhu of the blood lord Taoist soldiers, and he became the only person in the kingdoms who became a Bingzhu in the body of a Taoist soldier!" Listen to Xu Jin mentioned what happened back then, and Si Bu continued.

"Actually, it was thanks to Si Zhenyin that I was able to make credit. If you hadn't injured that Zhen Yin of Jingguo, with my strength back then, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill him!" Xu Jin said, Said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Si Bu just smiled and said nothing. The facts are indeed as Xu Jin said, but if Xu Jin hadn't had the courage to do so, he would not have been able to seize the credit for the achievement that was sent to him.

"Now this small Gujiu has about [-] people from the Chen Kingdom. In the future, there will be more people from the Chen Kingdom. Slowly, the current Gujiu City will soon be unable to accommodate these people. gone."

"There are more and more people, and there will be more and more things in Gujiu in the future. There are not many people who can handle these things now, but there are not many people here in Gujiu. I don't know if there will be some people who are good at handling these things in the future. Come to Gujiu."

When Xu Jin said this, she looked at Si Bu, and although she didn't say it directly, her meaning was expressed in a subtle way.

When Si Bu heard Xu Jin's words, he turned his head and gave Xu Jin a strange look, and said to him.

"Since there are no more people to accommodate, then why doesn't Bingzhu Xu reduce the number of people accepted, so that the matter will be easily solved?"

Si Bu's words made Xu Jin a little surprised, but in a flash he understood that the other party should also reject him in a more subtle way.

Xu Jin, who was not quite determined, followed Si Bu's words and continued to speak.

"Actually, I also thought the same way before, just to accept some common people, but later, before an expedition, some common people handed me a bag of millet, saying that they wanted to pay me for food. At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a little touched !"

While speaking, Xu Jin took out the small bag from the storage bag.

"The people who came to Gujiu at that time were all fleeing from disasters. These grains were probably the most valuable thing on them. At that time, I felt that within my ability, I could actually do more. Issues!"

"With the current strength of Gujiu, at least one hundred thousand people can be sheltered, and from these people, new Taoist soldiers can be cultivated to Gujiu small city. In the future, because of this, we will not be able to shelter all the people of Chen Kingdom!"

After listening to Xu Jin's words, Si Bu just glanced at the bag in his hand, then nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Binglord Xu has good ambitions. With your current strength, it is no problem to protect about [-] people. However, in the future, if you want to protect the people of the entire Chen Kingdom, Bingzhu Xu still thinks it is too simple!"

"The people are like floating weeds. They have never been the real foundation of a country. The foundation of a country lies in the practitioners and the nobles with bloodlines. Now the royal bloodlines of the Chen Kingdom have been cut off, and the families with bloodlines have all left. Chen Guo, even if Bingzhu Xu protects all the people, it is impossible to restore Chen Guoguosi!"

"Without blood inheritance, even if you gather all the people of the Chen Kingdom around you and take back all the land of the Chen Kingdom, you still cannot be recognized by the princes and become a prince!"

After finishing speaking, Si Bu shook his head lightly again, and looked at the houses in the old city of Gu, his expression unwavering.

Xu Jin, who was standing beside him, frowned at this moment. He glanced at Si Bu, and then looked at the small cloth bag in his hand. Only then did he understand why Si Bu used it a little strangely just now. He looked at himself with sharp eyes, because what he said just now was indeed very strange to the other party.

In the eyes of the other party, the value of these ordinary people is not equal in his own eyes. The idea of ​​wanting to protect these people seems incomprehensible to the other party.

"Dawn is like floating grass", this sentence has already expressed the other party's concept. In the other party's understanding, what is really important in a country is not the vast majority of ordinary people, but the practitioners of a country, who have blood Inherited nobility.

Realizing this, Xu Jin suddenly chuckled, then put back the small cloth bag in her hand, and quickened her steps.

Si Bu beside him obviously felt Xu Jin's quickening pace, and Xu Jin's attitude also seemed to be a little alienated.

As a smart person, Si Bu quickly realized the problem, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak again.

The two walked out of Gujiu City in this way. After reaching the outside of the city, Xu Jin stopped and said to Si Bu.

"I'll just send it here. After Si Zhenyin returns, I hope I can help you with a few words of kindness!"

Hearing this, Si Bu nodded lightly. He was about to turn around and leave when his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he asked Xu Jin again.

"Is there anything else Xu Bingzhu wants to say to me?"

"I've already said what needs to be said!" Xu Jin replied with a smile after hearing this.

Hearing these words, Si Bu took a deep look at Xu Jin, then turned around and flew away into the distance.

"The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other, what a pity!"

Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Xu Jin sighed deeply, then whispered to herself, then turned and walked back to the city.
