Chapter 48 The Situation

The fleet was slowly walking on the Qishui River, and it was almost time to Qiyin Wharf not far ahead. On the back boats, I walked to Qiyang, fought with the Ruishi Army and then returned home. The Yier Army soldiers who rushed to the bow of the boat and looked at the familiar river scenery around them.

No matter how accustomed to fighting, the sky and the earth are like sleeping on their own bed. But at any time, the thing that I really want to return to my own manor is the thing I long for.

Nangong An walked up the boat tower with his hands, and was still Shi Yao waiting outside the cabin door. Seeing Nangong An coming up, Shi Yao just nodded coldly.

Some people rumored that although Nangong An was a guest minister of the Shi family, he was already purely the most loyal subordinate of the Shi family. The purpose was Shi Yao, the girl. After hearing this, Nangong An only laughed at him.

Shi Yao was born into the Yuezhi fairy, and is almost well known to everyone in the upper class of Qin. She was also one of the nine king tents of Rouran when Shi Sheng followed Qin Xianghou to fight east and west. Among them, there was a pregnant Yuezhi fairy among the prisoners. He died after giving birth to Shi Yao. Although Yuezhi fairy belongs to the Ghost Square species, it is an extremely wonderful race. It is said that she lives at the end of the Wuju River. The tribe is sparsely populated, but the woman is unparalleled and is a natural beauty. What is particularly special is that no matter what kind of tribe his father is, the last Yuezhi women gave birth to basically daughters, and they completely inherit the characteristics of the Yuezhi fairy tribe.

Because the Yuezhi fairy has basically given birth to daughters from generation to generation, to continue her bloodline, she can only capture foreign men into the depths of the snow-capped mountains at the end of the Wuju River. Once she becomes pregnant, she will be obsessed with the men and expel them. At the end of the Wuju River, this kind of legend of encountering immortals and affair has been circulating for many years.

After the Zhou royal family unified Donghua, the 11th generation of King Mu of Zhou was the favorite monarch to travel the most. He once led the elite powerhouses of Lingyun Ertai to travel around the world. King Mu of Zhou reigned for 34 years and stayed in Tiandu for less than two years. He and dozens of subordinates went deep into the end of the Wuju River. The scenery along the way was recorded in the Western Barren Mountains and Seas. More than a hundred years later, the two marquis of Qin and Zhao went to Rongqi to expand their territory, mostly based on the records of the Western Barren Mountains and Seas.

King Mu of Zhou found the Yuezhi fairy tribe deep in the snowy mountain and captured seventy or eighty of the most beautiful Yuezhi fairy. These Yuezhi fairy continued from generation to generation. When King Li of Zhou was still able to sing and dance in the deer forest. A hundred decades passed, there were only a few Yuezhi fairy left on the land of Donghua. Even though there were a few, they were treasures collected in the deep courtyard of the super clan. It is said that fifty-two years ago, a Yuezhi fairy was auctioned in Lintao City, and at that time, it sold 150,000 gold square coins, which fell into the hands of Wei Wenhou, the most powerful Wei State.

No one knows why there is a Yuezhi fairy concubine in the tent of the Rouran King who was broken by the army of Qin Xianghou. However, to the west of Rong Qi and among the Qin and Zhao countries, the last baby girl should be the only Yuezhi fairy.

At that time, everyone thought that Qin Xianghou would take this little baby girl into his palace, and when she grew up, she would take it as a concubine. However, Qin Xianghou gave the baby girl to Shi Sheng for raising him, and Shi Sheng regarded her as his own and named her Shi Yao. When Shi Yao was young, she often took her into the Qinhou Palace and played with Qin Yan, who was also a child.

Even with Shi Sheng's protection, Shi Yao had suffered many strange gazes during her growth process. This background seemed to be the original sin that Shi Yao had always cared. Many big figures once signaled to ask Shi Sheng for this girl openly and secretly, but they were all pushed back by Shi Sheng. After Qin Xianghou lost Yu Qianhaiyuan and Shi Sheng returned to Qiyang for retirement, the one who protected her was Shi Wuju.

So Shi Yao wrapped herself tightly and tried hard to hone her true energy and combat skills. She was only twenty years old this year, but she had already entered the marrow cleaning stage. She was also a rare genius warrior, and she was no match for Shi Wuju back then.

But Nangong An knew that even if Shi Yao had become the leader of Yi'er's army, she could be called one of the strong men. What the girl had the deepest feeling of insecurity in her heart was the feeling of insecurity. Only in the Shi family could she find some belongings. So for the Shi family and Shi Wuju, she could do anything. Moreover, her wish seemed to be to always be by the side of her brother Shi Wuju, who had protected her since childhood.

Anyone outside the Shi family, except for Qin Yan, who played with her like a sister when she was a child, Shi Yao didn't take it seriously, and was as cold as ice. Nodding to Nangong Anneng and greeted him is considered a special exception.

Nangong An smiled gently at Shi Yao and walked into Shi Wuju's cabin.

Shi Wuju's cabin is just like him, very simple and Xiao Ran has no furnishings. There is only a wooden picture of the fief of the Shi family in the northwest of Qin and Rouran and Zhao, which is placed in the middle. Shi Wuju has finished his morning practice, looking at the familiar scenery outside the porthole with his hands in his hands.

Hearing Nangong An's footsteps, Shi Wuju turned his head and smiled, "Don't you always have endless documents to deal with? So much information from the Shi family is summarized in your hands, not to mention that you are the butler of our Shi family. You rarely see you during meals every day. Why did you come up early in the morning to say hello?"

Nangong An smiled and raised two fingers: "Two news, one is good and the other is bad, which one is the first to listen to?"

Shi Wuju shrugged: "I have a bad life and can't stand listening to good news first. What's the bad one?"

Nangong An's face was slightly gloomy and sighed, "Roran's military force is getting closer and closer to the west and north of the Shijia's fief. In the westernmost Anzhen Fort, there are already Rouran's whistle cavalry. Lu Mei, the middle-aged manor guarding Anzhen Fort, has given up the manors of dozens of civil servants and is sending documents to ask for help. The Wanghe Fort, not far from Anzhen Fort, and Linhuang Fort, the news of the reward is the same. The Zheye Fort, the second of the nine king tents of Rouran and the King Banner of Hudun, are said to have been pierced more than a hundred miles west of several forts."

Shi Wuju nodded, his face suddenly became ugly, and he hurried to the edge of the wooden picture: "Roran is coming from the east, and the horses are all fat. Isn't it because I should wait until the autumn high horse is fat before approaching eastward? Why did I move so quickly? It seems that I can't stay in Qiyin anymore, and I have to beat Zhe and Hussan to both sides!"

He found the places of the forts on the wooden picture with his fingers, pondered for a while, and asked again: "Where is Shuangying Pass?"

Nangong An shook his head: "Without the movement of Rouran, the provocate from the north, there was no way to see the Zhao army and horses guarding Rouran's actions towards the west. It seems that the rumors are correct. The Tata Royal Court, who is now in charge of the tents of the Rouran kings, has already had any agreement with the Zhao people."

Shi Wuju yelled: "In order to fight for the world, I will come to Lushui again, and I will not hesitate to introduce Rouran people to Donghua? Yao Ba is really a lunatic... This is a troublesome..."

Nangong An nodded: "It's indeed a trouble. Although the soldiers in the nine kings of Rouran are no less than 100,000, they can rely on the 600 Yier Army of the Shi family as the backbone, and they can summon no less than 20,000 to cope with the dependents. What I worry most is that the Zhao people are supporting these Rouran people behind their backs. However, Yao Ba is now leading the sudden cavalry to the expedition in the north, and he will not be able to come back for a while, and he still has time to deal with Rouran's advance... These 100 Yier soldiers transferred to the Qin Houhu Guard..."

Shi Wuju waved his hand: "No need to say more about this. Since I promised it to the daughter of Yan Hou, how can I take it back? I will prepare to go to war when I go back. Before Yao Ba has turned around, I will first pull down the two king flags of Zheye Hudun's two minions!"

Both Shi Wuju and Nangong An knew that most of the crisis in Qin State today was caused by the intervention of the Zhao people. Inside, Heyang Jun was supported and oppressed the Qin Hou, and tried to use Qin Rong, who had the blood of the Zhao people, as the prince of Qin Hou. Outside, the army was oppressed, and there was a momentum to capture Rouran as the help of his allies.

In recent years, the aftermath of the Chaofeng Confusion in Zhao State was gradually subsided, and Yao Ba led his troops to the north again, because the elite Zhao State suddenly had to supplement the cavalry to complete it. When Yao Ba returns north, he will inevitably attack Qin State. He also pulled Qin State to the Zhao people's chariot, and then went eastward to open the Western Pass in one fell swoop, destroying the Wei State standing in front of him, and the troops faced Lushui again, fighting to dominate the world, turning Zhao Hou into the King of Zhao on the land of Donghua!

There is not much time left for them. Only by trying their best to eliminate Rouran's threat, stabilize the position of Qin Hou, support the revived Tiger Guard, and limit the internal hidden dangers of Heyang Jun, can Qin State have a chance to survive in Qiang Zhao's hands!

And at this time, the only one who can be used to fight Rouran is the power of the Shi family.

Shi Wuju was silent for a long time, and finally took a heavy shot on the wooden picture, raised his head and smiled, "The bad news is nothing more than that, I can still deal with... what about the good news?"

In a blink of an eye, Shi Wuju seemed to have put the crisis behind him, still looking free and easy. Although his appearance was indeed ordinary, his seemingly natural masculinity was unintentionally displayed.

Nangong An paused for a moment, and smiled gently as usual: "...I have heard from my subordinates that Xu Le was born in Zhao Guogui City, and was the second-best grandson of Xu Dai, the doctor under Gui City who was rebelling against Yao Heng. He was rarely named a genius warrior. Xu Dai's family destroyed the clan. After a lot of hardships, Xu Le escaped from heaven, cared for blood feuds, went away from the Western Wilderness, and finally ran into us. He had an irreconcilable hatred with Yao Ba, and was a person who could borrow trust... Speaking of which, it would be a pity if such a genius warrior could not be used by Qin State..."

Shi Wuju looked at Nangong An in a steady manner and said word by word: "Is this news reliable?"

Nangong An faced Shi Wuju's staring eyes and said seriously: "Can you still believe me?"

Shi Wuju pondered for a moment and finally smiled: "This is really good news!"

Nangong An still had that gentle smile: "How could I not know that you are a person who loves talent. When I really had to get rid of Xu Le, I was probably depressed for a while. I shouldn't have this concern now."

Shi Wuju laughed and rubbed his hands hard: "I said that if you can drink with Xiaobao, Xiaobao is regarded as a man who can make friends with. In the Western Wilderness, he is the only one who can protect his private subordinates. In Qiyang, he is not even a little cowardly at the Ruishi Army. How could he be a person with ulterior motives or something like that? I didn't read the wrong person from the beginning! The Shi family has never confiscated the cowards!"

Nangong An smiled faintly: "This Xu Le does not have any benefits to the Shi family. Now it is famous in Qin State, and it is also Xu Le who is alone...... He is indeed a good man, unyielding and full of enthusiasm in any situation. He will definitely do something in the future."

Shi Wuju continued to rub his hands a little embarrassedly, and laughed: "Nangong, can we squeeze out something?"

Nangong An raised his face: "What, what do you want to give Xu Le?"

Shi Wuju scratched his head: "This kid bumped into the Western Wilderness. Although we saved him, he also killed a warrior from Yeyu's army. Otherwise, he might have to lose one or two more brothers from Yi'er's army. Then he returned to Qiyin and gave him two hundred acres of the worst farmland in Xianglin. The village houses were all curbed by them. Now they might spend money to look like they have to move again. Not to mention that in Qiyang, because of the Shi family's identity, they were targeted by the Ruishi Army. Cao Neng and Huang Fei did not ask for it.

Well, it greatly increased the face of our Shi family, and even aroused the morale of Qiyang people. The Yanhou Nu took advantage of the situation and told the Qinhou who had been hesitating to re-establish the Tiger Guard... Speaking of which, the Shi family really got some benefits from this kid, but the reward was not at all. Not to mention that I was thinking all the way around that if there was something wrong with the origin, I would have to beside him... I really couldn't get over it. Those who fought side by side with the Shi family were my brother Shi Wuju, regardless of whether he had left the Shi family or not."

Nangong An looked at Shi Wuju for a while, and Shi Wuju became more and more guilty. Finally, he smiled: "Speaking of Qiyang's battle, it was caused by my unfilial subordinates. I owe Xu Le a lot. So, I'll leave for you. Xu Le went to Qiyang to join the Huwei Guard, and it's time to raise his own troops. The only thing Yan Hou Nu can give is the farmland. Give him three hundred gold squares to strengthen his career. I will also give him a tip to his private subordinate with the potential of a sorcerer. In this way, you and I finally feel that there is an explanation in your heart."

Shi Wuju breathed a sigh of relief: "These are all the details... No matter what, after thinking about this kid for a few days, he always violated my usual behavior... He always wanted to let Xu Le know that the one who fought side by side with me was my brother. No matter what dangers he encountered in the future, as long as I, Shi Wuju, was still here, I would never let go! I will give him such a promise!"

Nangong looked at Shi Wuju quietly. At this moment, the cheers of the Yier Army soldiers suddenly sounded on the ships behind. In the distance of Qishui, the Qiyin Water Pass Pier was already in sight.

For these Yier Army soldiers, they didn't know that this time, they could not live a few days of peace. Shi Wuju would soon lead them to attack Rouran, and at the same time, they would also help the Huwei reestablished in Qiyang and consolidate the status of the Qinhou lineage. Not to mention, after Qiang Zhao made a move, he would still be likely to continue to face this almost invincible enemy!

Did all these burdens fall on Shi Wuju’s shoulders? No one could share the burden for him?

At this moment, Xu Le's figure suddenly flew over Nangong An's heart.

Xu Le fought in the air in Qiyang, with a single sword, facing the two heroes of the Sergeant Army and hundreds of soldiers, and was still unyielding. There was a vaguely when he was a young man, Shi Wuju led the lonely army to travel thousands of miles westward, and brought the remaining Qin people out of the Qianhaiyuan's disastrous defeat.

Will this young man be the next Shiwuju?

Although the news from Zhao State was indeed true, in Nangong An's heart, the origin of this young man was still fascinated. Xu Le's glory had just begun to bloom, what would he bring to Qin State?
