At night, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, showing the royal joy.

This celebration banquet not only invited the heroes, ministers, and nobles in Chengdu, but also their wives and wives. It was a large number of people and full of honor.

As Yang Qing's wife, Xia Houyue was naturally invited to attend. He and his wife arrived at the palace in a carriage and then separated. Yang Qing went to the main hall to attend the banquet, while Xia Houyue went with other ministers and wives.

The palace was attended by Queen Zhang, who presided over it.

After entering the main hall, Yang Qing realized that he had arrived too late. There were already many people sitting in the hall, even Zhuge Jin and Bu Zhi, the envoys of Soochow, had arrived early.

"General Ziyu."

When the chamberlain led Yang Qing to sit down, he saw that there was nothing going on around him and he was bored, so he went up and said hello to Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin was chatting happily with He Zong. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "It turns out he is Yang Junhou. We haven't seen him for many years. His demeanor is even better than before."

"General Ziyu is still as young as before." Yang Qing said.

Zhuge Jin stroked his beard under his chin, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm old, now it's the world of young people like you." Pointing to a middle-aged scribe next to him, he said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is my boss.

General Wu is on the right, guarding the army on the left, and the Marquis of Linxiang is marching to Buzi Mountain."

After a pause, he looked at Bu Zhi and said, "Zishan, this is the famous young hero of Yizhou, the former general, the governor of Yongzhou, and the Marquis of Linchang Yang Qing and Yang Mingzhi."

"I have heard about the name of General Zishan for a long time. I didn't get to meet him when I sent him to Wu last time. I didn't expect to meet him in Chengdu today. I am so lucky." Yang Qing cupped his hands in greeting and said.

Bu Zhi is a descendant of the Bu family of the Huaiyin gentry, and Sun Quan's wife Bu is of the same clan. He is both civilized and military, and has extraordinary talents, so he is highly relied upon by Sun Quan. In the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan appointed Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou, and appointed Wu Zhonglang

The general asked him to lead more than a thousand military archers and go south to take over Jiaozhou.

After Bu Zhi took office, he first planned to kill Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, and then attacked and eliminated the former Jiaozhou governor Zhang Jin's old generals Yi Liao and Qian Bo, who were on one side of the separatist regime. Thus, he overawed Jiaozhi prefect Shi Xie and his brothers in one fell swoop.

He pacified Jiaozhou for Sun Quan at a relatively small cost.

Later, Lu Dai took over as the governor of Jiaozhou, and Bu Zhao was transferred back to Changsha. Sun Quan granted him Fu Jie and asked him to lead a heavy army to garrison in Cankou to intimidate Jingnan and Jiaozhou. Therefore, Bu Zhao was also one of the few people in Soochow who could take on the important role.

The appointed general.

Yang Qing's first impression of Bu Zhishan was the skinny scribe who was speechless by Zhuge Liang in the episode of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which he was speechless. It wasn't until he became the prime minister's chief official that he got to know Bu Zishan.

He is not an ordinary person, he is actually an outstanding figure in Soochow and should not be taken lightly.

Yang Qing had admired Bu Zhi for a long time, but Bu Zhi had been a close friend of him for a long time. He had long wanted to meet him and see what kind of person this young talent was.

"Haha, I don't dare, I don't dare. Bu also heard of Yang Junhou's name a long time ago. It's a great comfort to see him today."

Yang Qingdao: "It's rare for a general to come to Shu, so he should stay a little longer this time so that we can fully enjoy the friendship of the landlord."

"This nature has unique scenery and unparalleled beauty in Shu, as well as outstanding people and places. I'm sure I'll have a good time to visit it," Bu Zhi said.

Yang Qing nodded and continued: "The scenery in Shu is certainly unique, and the scenery in Jiangdong is also rare in the world. It can be said that the two are indistinguishable. Just like your two families, one has the danger of mountains and rivers, and the other has

The three rivers are as strong as each other, and each has its own geographical advantages.

It is precisely because the two families have re-established their alliance with the advantage of their geographical location and formed a close nation that they can advance together to seize the world, retreat and stand as a tripartite, so that they were able to win consecutive victories against Wei last year."

"Yes, as long as the Sun and Liu families form an alliance, even if Cao's thieves are powerful, we will not be afraid at all." Bu Zhi said.

Zhuge Jin also nodded and said: "As long as the two families work together, it will be easy to wipe out the Cao thieves."

"It seems that the two generals also strongly agree with the strategy of the two alliances to fight against Cao's thieves?" Yang Qing said with a smile.

Zhuge Jin said: "This is natural. Besides, it is something that both your prime minister and my king agree on to renew the alliance between the two families. Is there any reason not to follow it?

Furthermore, General Zishan and I came here precisely to thank you for fulfilling your responsibilities as an ally last year for us in Soochow to contain the Wei army on the western front. Therefore, the alliance between the two countries is solid and cannot be changed."

"Could it be that Yang Junhou means that some people in Soochow do not agree with the alliance between the two families?" Bu Zhao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Yang Qing still had a smile on his face: "Did General Zishan also hear such sounds in Soochow?"

When Bu Zhao heard the words, he was speechless. He felt that Yang Qing's thoughts and words were as wild as the sky, and it was really hard to grasp. He thought: "Where did I hear that? It was obviously you who said this, okay?"

No, this man is a well-known wise man in Western Shu. His words were definitely not said casually. He was either pretending to be stupid or teasing me. I must be careful not to suffer the consequences of this man."

"Yang Junhou is joking. The whole country of Soochow is led by my lord. Since my lord has promised to renew the alliance with your country, all the subjects of Soochow should support it with all their strength. How can they raise any objections? Is it possible that there is a villain here?

Spread rumors and stir up trouble, causing the princes to misunderstand me, Soochow?"

Yang Qing secretly thought that this person's words were impeccable, and said with a cupped hand: "Yang just heard a few rumors, whether it is true or not is beyond Yang's ability to tell."

"Oh, what rumors did Mingzhi hear?" Zhuge Jin asked eagerly.

Yang Qing looked around, lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Qing heard that the King of Wu has recently overthrown himself and proclaimed himself emperor. Both of you are important officials in Jiangdong. Is this true?"

Zhuge Jin and Bu Zhi both changed their expressions when they heard this. They looked at each other and knew that although Yang Qing's words were said in a relaxed manner, the probing meaning in his words was extremely dangerous.

There is a risk of being true to the facts.

"Mingzhi is joking. I have never heard of such rumors. I wonder where Mingzhi heard it?" Zhuge Jin said.

Yang Qingdao: "I heard about it from several people from Soochow who came to Sichuan for business."

"That's it. How can you take the words of a few merchants seriously?" Bu Zhi said.

Yang Qingdao: "It seems that General Zishan also thinks this rumor is untrue?"

"Of course it's nonsense." Bu Zhi replied calmly.

As an important minister of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, he certainly knew that Sun Quan was preparing to proclaim himself emperor recently. He and Zhuge Jin had also revealed some rumors to the monarchs and ministers in Shu as a test, but now Yang Qing asked him such a sudden question,

It was not the right time to admit the matter, so I had no choice but to deny it first to avoid any setbacks.

"This man is indeed the young hero Zhuge Liang values, yet he is so difficult to deal with." Bu Zhi thought to himself.

Of course Yang Qing knew that the two of them were not talking about each other, but he did not expose it and said with a smile: "You two said this, Yang is relieved. I think so, the King of Wu lived in Han Dynasty and was a famous Han Dynasty in the world.

How can a loyal minister in the house do something as arrogant as Cao Cao's traitor?

What's more, now our Han army has achieved great victory in both Northern Expeditions. The entire territory of Liangzhou and most of Yongzhou have been recovered by our army. The resurgence of the Han Dynasty is just around the corner. The king of Wu is wise and powerful. On this occasion, the Han Dynasty will be revitalized three times, and his name will be left in Qing history.

How can one do something unwise in this situation?

Huh, those businessmen are talking nonsense and destroying the good alliance between you and my family. They are really abominable. If we meet in the future, I will definitely punish them severely."

"Well, it should be so." Zhuge Jin said.

Yang Qing looked at Bu Zhi and said, "What does General Zishan think?"

"These businessmen do not do business honestly, but instead talk about national affairs. They should indeed be punished." Bu Zhao said calmly.
