A heavy rain washed away the gray air of Jinghu County. After the rain was clear, the blue sky reflected the green lake water, and Jinghu County finally had a bit of its original color.

In fact, in the past, Jinghu County City was an extremely beautiful place with mountains and waters, but war has always been the culprit for destroying beauty. No matter how beautiful things are, under the hands of the demon of war, will ultimately present a scene.

The lush hillsides outside Jinghu City were almost cut down during the war. Some were used to make various tools of war, and some turned into firewood for heating in winter. Although green has grown on the mountains now, it is like a scalypse. One piece of land in the east and the other piece of land in the west makes people really unable to feel any good. The reeds and lotus leaves in the Bibocui Lake naturally no longer exist, leaving only a pool of clear water. Even the originally fertile fields outside the city have now become smooth as a mirror. There are countless soldiers buried below, so that after the war, the people of Jinghu County were unwilling to plow the land again.

Without these greens, the wind and sand naturally rise up, so that Jinghu County City will take five days to cover this gray weather in ten days. Only after this heavy rain and clear can you see the original appearance of Jinghu County City.

Cao Hui lives in an inn by Cuihu Lake. Today, Jinghu has become the base camp of Bian Wushuang's Eastern Expedition Army. After a large number of troops heading to the front line, the place did not seem depressed. Various materials poured in here, but instead created a deformed prosperity. In today's Jinghu County City, most of the people are surrounding the army to make money and survive.

War destroyed everything, but it allowed another group of people to rely on him to suck blood and survive.

The inn is called Cuihuju. Half of the guest houses reached into Cuihu. Living in it, the sound of water under your feet is gurgling, and the window is blue and blue. It is really a unique scenery. Cao Hui could imagine that if he lived here before the war, he would sit barefoot on the terrace outside the house and play in the water, stretch his hand to peel the crispy lotus seeds, throw one into his mouth, and experience the sweet taste of bitterness, look up, and the lotus leaves are endless and green, and the sun is red. But now, he is sitting cross-legged on the terrace outside the house and fishing, and the only thing that can catch his eyes is the blue and blue and the fisherman who drives a boat and net.

The bait had been eaten up by the fish, but the fishing line was still motionless. Cao Hui's mind was not on fishing at all. Yesterday, he finally took the risk to meet Bian Wushuang.

The reason why it is said to be risky is that Chu Qi is still in a terrible stage. On the front line, the soldiers of both sides are still fighting and killing. If Bian Wushuang caught him, he would have no place to complain, but fortunately, nothing happened. As Cao Hui expected, people like Bian Wushuang were just like those wealthy families in the Great Qi country, and they were all in the country first. Whether he defected to Qin or loyal to Chu, they were all under the same premise, that was, they could allow him to survive.

Since it was just to allow Bian to survive, there was no reason for him to offend someone like Cao Hui. Cao Hui was warmly received by Bian Wushuang, but that was all. Whenever there was a substantial problem, he was just concerned about his side.

Cao Hui was not in a hurry. People like Bian Wushuang would not show eagles without seeing rabbits. Qi would definitely not give him what Chu State can give him now. But if the tree of Chu State was about to fall, the fastest one would definitely be someone like Bian Wushuang. The key is whether Qi State can gain an overwhelming advantage. As long as this can be done, it is not difficult to change Bian Wushuang's course.

This is the answer Cao Hui got when he met Bian Wushuang this time.

However, what made Cao Hui a little uneasy was that inadvertently, some of the attitudes revealed by Bian Wushuang actually imply that this person is more optimistic about the future of Ming Dynasty. Or Bian Wushuang himself did not notice these small flaws he accidentally revealed, but who is Cao Hui? He has been doing this for half his life to guess people's psychology and dig pits and bury traps for people. Moreover, he is a master of this. Even if there are only a few clues, he can follow these clues to pull out the larger clues behind it.

Although Bian Wushuang has a worried personality, his ability and vision are unquestionable. If he is more optimistic about the Ming Dynasty in his heart, it means that he really thinks like this. The basis for his thinking like this is naturally because he has a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty. This person is not a person who will be easily shaken by emotions and lose his rational judgment.

Does this attitude mean that the Ming Dynasty had sent people to contact him? Cao Hui had never considered this issue before, just because he believed that if Bian Wushuang wanted to defect to Ming Dynasty, he would naturally turn against each other when Qin Feng attacked Yongdu City. With his help, it would be easy for Qin Feng to capture Yongdu City. In this way, he could still make great contributions and get corresponding rewards in the Ming Dynasty, rather than leading his troops to Chu State to fight for Chu State.

But now when I turned around and thought, Da Qi could guess Bian Wushuang's attitude, so how could Da Ming not guess? It is not impossible to send someone to contact him.

And it is obvious that Bian Wushuang is more optimistic about the Ming Dynasty now. Why did he make such a judgment? The current Da Qi is not comparable to the Ming Dynasty in terms of size, military strength and wealth. Even if the Ming Dynasty has annexed Da Qin, even if he digested Da Qin and turned it into a part of himself, he will still not be an opponent of Da Qi. Unless he can also swallow the Chu State and unify the Three Kingdoms, he can stand on the same position as Da Qi.

Although Mingchu is an alliance now, this alliance is the most fragile. I believe that the Ming Dynasty must be eyeing Chu. During these days in Jinghu City, Cao Hui has already seen the ubiquitous influence of the Ming people. Many of the merchants on the street came from the Ming Dynasty, and most of the goods sold came from the Ming Dynasty. In Jinghu, even the Ming banknotes were common. Because the salary paid to soldiers by the Chu court was all loaned by the Ming Dynasty, and Changlong Bank, which was responsible for this loan business, was only willing to lend out banknotes. The soldiers took the banknotes and naturally bought and sold them. The market was soon occupied by the Ming people's coins, so that most merchants refused to accept them.

Although Cao Hui did not understand the economy and did not know the power of currency, he knew very well that this was not a good thing. The Ming people seemed to be using a means he had never encountered before, constantly eroding the strength of Chu. The Chu people were still not sure, so they were even throwing themselves into the trap.

When Ma Chao died in Anyang County, Cao Hui was not sorry. Such a guy was actually not very useful. He wanted to get him to Qi State just to make an excuse when he went to war with Ming State in the future, and to call on the Qin people to rise up and resist the Ming State flag. Just like the Daqi still serves the former Prince Wu Jing, who is the same as the ghost used Wu Jing's identity. Didn't the Ming Dynasty already win over some guys who were not welcomed in Ming State? It might not be possible to accomplish anything, but as long as it could make trouble, it would be fine. It was not too much to make a lot of effort, so naturally I wouldn't want any special gains.

However, Qin Feng did not kill Luo Liang on the spot, which made Cao Hui feel a little scared. After these years, Qin Feng became more and more mature. The deep hatred between him and Luo Liang could not be cleared even if he had an absolute advantage. However, in the case of easily revenge and killing Luo Liang, Qin Feng actually let the other party go easily.

It is not something that ordinary people can do to suppress such a deep hatred for the sake of the overall situation. Qin Feng became more and more mature, and Cao Hui felt more and more pressure.

Bian Wushuang's little thoughts made Cao Hui even more shocked.

The float on the lake suddenly churned. Cao Hui tightened his wrist and raised his fishing rod. A large green grass carp, more than a foot long, was caught out of the water and fell to Cao Hui's feet with a snap.

"You can catch you even without bait. How greedy you have to be!" Cao Hui looked at the grass carp jumping on his feet with some amusement and shaking his head and sighed.

Behind him, a sergeant appeared behind Cao Hui. Cao Hui turned his head and glanced at him. It could be seen that the sergeant's expression was a little nervous.

"What's wrong?" Cao Hui slowly took the hook out of the big grass carp's mouth and asked.

"Sir, we just saw an emergency official document at Zeng Lin, the county magistrate's office. It was about our Daqi. The official document said that Zhou Shuguang in Bozhou rebelled."

Cao Hui paused slightly, but then he relaxed: "The imperial court had already made arrangements in Bozhou, so there was no need to worry."

"But your Highness, this document mentioned that Zhou Shuguang had successfully raised the flag in Bozhou to rebel, killed more than 10,000 Cao Gang navy soldiers, and sunk more than 100 imperial warships. Even Lord Xiang died in Bozhou." The follower's voice trembled.

With a bang, the big grass carp in his hand was pinched into a ball of fish mud by Cao Hui, and squeezed out from his fingers and fell on the terrace.

"Bozhou General Huang Lian was a member of Zhou Shuguang. It was precisely because of his rebellion that the court had lost all the arrangements arranged by the court in Bozhou." The follower said.

Cao Hui gritted his teeth and said slowly: "I just want to know now why our ghost intelligence system is slower than that of Chu. Zeng Lin has already received information from Bozhou. Why haven't I seen it yet?"
