Chapter 69.2 Five Spiritual Solid Jade Crystal
Duan Ming was busy stealing food, and couldn’t care about the trivial matter of losing a few hairs.
The puppet who can’t eat good food and is completely ignored: “…”
Angrily gnawing its claws.
After letting Sang Yuanyuan feed Duan Ming into a watermelon belly, You Wuming spoke leisurely, “Little Mulberry, do you know that Zhang state has two kings?”
Sang Yuanyuan was startled: “Zhang state also has a Regent Ruler?”
“No,” You Wuming said, pointing to the entire stretch of mountains in front of him, “Zhang state is full of mountains and there are many horse bandits. It’s not easy to eliminate them. To the north, it’s adjacent to the abyss. They can take care of one end but not the other. After the King of Zhang state, Zhang Dai, succeeded to the throne, he led soldiers out all year round and was exhausted from constantly on the run.”
Sang Yuanyuan nodded gently.
It’s only been a day and a night since they came to the area of Zhang state but they have encountered three waves of bandits. If it is ordinary people, it must be difficult for them to move around in such a place.
The bandits robbed the common people, and the common people became bandits again in order to survive. This is a vicious circle. There were bandits everywhere, and no honest farmers could be seen——The taxpayers have become the outlaw. The state could not collect the grain tax, so it had to increase the tax again. The vicious circle became more and more intense, and now it has become this kind of difficult situation where the beginning and the end couldn’t be seen.
What a difficult thing.
You Wuming said: “Zhang Dai couldn’t return to the Capital of Zhang for a long time, so his younger brother, Zhang Jing, took care of the state affairs on his behalf. In order to make things easier, Zhang Dai handed the seal to Zhang Jing. After more than ten years of this, the outside world has only recognized Zhang Jing as the King of Zhang state. “
Sang Yuanyuan said: “Were the relationship between these two brothers so good?”
There is no room for two kings in one mountain. It’s already like this, but there’s no fight yet between them.

You Wuming smiled mockingly: “Zhang Dai can only see the place in front of him, and run wherever there is a gap. You want to tell him to see Zhang Jing’s ambition from thousands of miles away? Heh.”
Sang Yuanyuan wondered: “Since Zhang Jing has ambitions, why don’t he proclaim himself as a king then?”
“There’s no need for that. Zhang Jing is the de facto king of Zhang state. He left the name for that fool, Zhang Dai, and that fool ran outside desperately for him and fought wherever he pointed his finger at. Zhang Jing just had to stay in the Capital of Zhang, and the good benefits were all his. So, why not go ahead with it? When Zhang Dai died, wouldn’t the fame and the throne be in Zhang Jing’s possessions by then?”
Sang Yuanyuan laughed: “What has been told in the outside world mustn’t be like this, right?”
“Yeah.” You Wuming said, “Those stupid people only say that these two brothers showed respect and love as good brothers should, one is good in literacy and the other is good in martial arts, supporting this big precarious land of Zhang state. Ah, Little Mulberry, if it weren’t for fear of you worrying about it, I wouldn’t even bother to take care of these nosy matters. It was Zhang Dai who asked me for help——He was really afraid of the underworld demons rushing in. As for Zhang Jing, a few days ago, he had issued a statement to sever diplomatic relations with You state. He wanted to take advantage of this wave of Tidal Bore to wipe out Zhang Dai, this last stake.”
Sang Yuanyuan couldn’t help looking back at him.
This pair of lazy eyes always see everything so thoroughly. She wondered if he had already seen his own ending when he walked into the burning Tiandu.
If it had been in the past, he would not care about Qin state’s drilling the underground, nor would he tell anyone the inside story of the two kings in Zhang state. In his eyes, this piece of land is a broken ship that will soon sink to the bottom of the sea. He doesn’t care whether its mast has been eaten by worms and is already full of holes, or how many leaks are under the deck, let alone care about when his position will be submerged by the next wave.
In the past, he used to care about nothing.
But now that he has her, everything is different.
What he said just now means that he wants to meddle in these nosy matters.
But how? Zhang state’s current situation is really full of holes, where the western wall cannot be repaired even if the eastern wall is torn down.

So I’m guessing he will give Zhang Dai a favor and try to use him to announce the underground city that the other state was making.
