Chapter 39

Lu Wen was walking back and forth in his thatched hut.￥f,

This morning, his great-grandson Lu Jia took a group of people to watch the fun, because today, the time for the Qin people to ask for compensation has come.

The Qin people used ten trucks of goods to the King of Xiou to exchange for two pieces of cowhide land.

All the people of Xiou planned to read the Qin people's jokes, but Lu Wen was different. He knew how deceitful those Chinese people who claimed to be benevolent and righteous were. These Chinese people were dressed in exquisite clothes and paid attention to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but inside, they were more cruel and realistic than the barbarians they despised, and they were completely wolf in sheep's clothing.

And the prince of the Qin Dynasty, his deeds, the great elder of Xiou, also heard a little. The other party was young and not even the eldest son of Qin, but could defeat so many opponents. As the crown prince of Qin, would he be a person who was doing a loss-making business?

"Grandpa Grandpa! Grandpa Grandpa!"

His great-grandson Lu Wen ran into his house in a hurry, panting. Before Lu Wen could speak, he saw Lu Jia hurriedly walking towards the water tank and scooping water with a wooden scoop.

"Be careful and drink, don't choke." Although Lu Wen was worried about the situation ahead, he still said with concern when he looked at his great-grandson's appearance.

Although Lu Jia is a local native, her appearance is beautiful, which does not belong to the beautiful place with high mountains and rivers. In fact, Lu Jia's grandmother comes from the State of Chu. When Bai Qi captured Yingdu, many nobles of Chu did not have time to retreat east under the Qin army's troops and could only go south. Lu Jia's grandmother, the Chu people, were wandering to this place in Xiou.

"Grandpa Zu, do you know why the Qin people asked for two pieces of cowhide land?" Lu Jia asked excitedly with his eyes shining brightly.

Before Lu Wen could speak up, Lu Jia could no longer hold back and said, "The Qin people cut the two pieces of cowhide into strips of fine cowhide with scissors, then connected the strips of fine cowhide, and finally wrapped two large pieces of land. Then, hundreds of Qin people from somewhere came from, and had already begun to build walls on this land.":

"Hiss!" Lu Wen took a breath. Although he knew that the Qin people would cheat, he did not expect that such a result would be the end.

"What do you say about the king?"

Lu Wen asked, but found that his great-grandson not only had no angry expression, but also looked very appreciative of the Qin people's actions in his words.

"The king has recognized the Qin people's ownership of that land."

"Jia'er, tell me, what do you think of the Qin people's actions?"

"The great-grandson thinks that the Qin people are very smart. And I have also inquired from outsiders. Those who call themselves China have tall cities, not earthen villages like us with wooden walls! Those cities have stone walls, three or four meters high, continuous houses, restaurants, tea shops, shops and streets. Larger cities are enough to accommodate 100,000 people? This is equivalent to the population of our entire tribe."

"Tuzhai?" Lu Wen was very concerned about the title of his grandson in his heart. You know, the Tuzhai that Lu Jia mentioned is the capital of King Xiou! This title is definitely what the Qin people said.

"Also, they can weave exquisite clothes, make sharp swords, and write, and record everything that happened in the past. The Qin people said that we, Yue people, also had these, but over the past hundred years, have gradually forgotten these crafts passed down from generation to generation. Is this true?"

The boy kept talking, not ignoring the increasingly ugly face of his grandfather.

Lu Wen wanted to get angry, but looking at his great-grandson's curious eyes, the tone in his chest could not be heard. Finally, Lu Wen said depressedly: "I'm going to see the king."

"It's so bad!" Before Lu Wen could get out of the house, his grandson Lu Jia had already rushed out of the house first.

"Where are you going?" Lu Wen was behind, looking at his grandson running, and hurriedly asked.

"I want to go to the Qin people's cities. One of his leaders said that they would give me a short sword and teach me sword skills. It would be too late for me to go too late."

Lu Wen sighed and headed towards the royal city of Yishuo Song, that is, the cave.

Lu Wen had a noble status, and the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave had not asked at all, so he put him in.

When Lu Wen came to the hall of the meeting, Song Song was sitting on his tiger-skin throne, playing with a scimitar covered with jewelry in his hand.

"Master!" Lu Jia stood in front of Yi Xusong for a long time, and found that the other party ignored him. He hammered the crutch in his hand and shouted loudly.

Yi Xusong raised his head and looked at his right-hand man, the great elder of Xiou Kingdom. "What's wrong?"

"King, why did you give the land near Xing'an to the Qin people?"

"The words have been said, how can we go back on our word? Besides, look at the goods brought by the Qin people. The scimitar in my hand is worth a lot, and it is more than enough to exchange for a small tribe. The water surrounding the land is unstable, and our tribe members do not often go fishing and hunting there. The goods given to us by the Qin people have far exceeded the value of the land, and it is no big deal to hand it over to the Qin people."

"King, you have to be careful of the soft knife of the Qin people! Look, what are the things that the Qin people bring to us? Clothes, ceramics, beautiful jade, and bronze mirrors, although they are priceless, the Qin people have everything, but there is no precious food for us." The great elder Lu Wen said quickly, wanting to wake up this confused king.

"Okay. I have my own mind, you go down first!" Yi Xusong seemed a little tired, waved his hand and asked Lu to continue.

Lu Wen looked at Yi Yu Song's expression and thought he had slept with the charming woman he snatched from Luo Yue last night. He was a little angry and stomped his feet and left the cave room.

After Lu Wen left, the cave became silent, the illuminated fire swayed, and the cave became light and dark.

"You come out!" Yi Xu Song said softly. A man walked out of the cave entrance to the cave room.

The man walked to Yi Xu Song, and his every move was very respectful, and he bowed to Yi Xu Song.

"Master!"

However, for the person in front of him, Yi Yusong had no good expression on his face.

"I've done what you said. What else do you want to do next?"

"The king is so serious. Tian Guang's move is for the king and for Xiou."

"Hmph! Those Qin people are not good things, are you the only one?" Yi Xu Song glanced at Tian Guang with violent light in his eyes. If possible, he would rush forward and tear the person in front of him to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

A king was actually trapped in his capital. If it spread, how could he, the King of Xiou, continue to do it?

"The king was joking. What Prince Qin wanted was the entire Xiou or even Baiyue, and I, Tian Guang, did not have this ambition yet. Once the plan left by Changping Jun was successful, the huge land of Xiou would still belong to the king. And I only have one thing. This is also the basis for us to cooperate with each other."

"I don't care what you northerners are trying to do? You northerners are used to killing each other! I only have what I deserve."

"Don't worry, if the Qin army is defeated, all the supplies transported to Xiou will belong to the king."

In the dense forest, Liu Ji was ambushing with a group of elite Shennong Hall.

This time, what they were going to assassinate was very mysterious. Apart from the master of the Shennong Hall, only Liu Ji knew the identity of the visitor.

In front, two or three Qin army's cavalry ran around, detecting the nearby terrain.

"Do we want to do it?"

A little brother beside him urged a little uneasy. Although this little brother has high martial arts skills, he is afraid that it is the first time he has done such a thing, so he still looks very nervous. But except for the person who was temporarily brought to make up the numbers, the rest of the people have cold eyes and cold expressions. They are all dead soldiers raised by the Zhu family in Shennong Hall, and they usually secretly carry out some ulterior motives for the Zhu family. They are very experienced in this formation. The Zhu family has almost dispatched all their personal power, which shows their importance to this plan.

"What's the hurry? This is just a passing whistleblower. Our target is still behind? Besides, the boss hasn't spoken yet!"

The boss Liu Ji mentioned is naturally the Zhu family, the leader of Shennong Hall.

Sure enough, as Liu Ji said, after these whistle-riding cavalry, a team of heavily armored Qin soldiers were slowly moving from a distance, followed by a team of crossbowmen, and a carriage. There were also heavy light armored knights next to this carriage. Although the knights were wearing martial arts crowns, they revealed a scattered aura. Their weapons and equipment were covered with strange patterns, even their exposed bodies. The whole body looked like an evil ghost from hell... Only one team in the Qin Dynasty had such strange costumes.

"Even Prince Qin's ghost rider was dispatched. Who is the person in this car?" Liu Ji murmured.

"Are we going to do it?" the younger brother urged anxiously.

A signal was sent from the mountain, which was an order for attack.

"Go!" Liu Ji waved his hand, and everyone behind him rushed down the mountain.

The fight begins here.

On the other side of the mountain, the owner of Shennong Hall, Zhu Jia, sat lazy on the trunk of the tree, holding his fat face with one hand, as if he was depressed.

"Yo, Master Zhu Family, what are you worried about?"

The swaying figure of a woman with long pink hair and charming behavior slowly came. She held a cigarette pole in her hand and said, spitting out a cigarette ring.

"How is it going before?"

"The offensive is very smooth, and the Qin army is now holding on to support. Your manpower can retreat."

"Does it have to be used in this way to prove Liu Ji's reliability?" Zhu family spread their hands and said.

"There is no way. Since Shengqi was confirmed as a traitor, the peasant family was in a panic. Liu Ji was once captured by someone in Chu, and he was likely to surrender to Qin."

"So have you confirmed it now?"

"If Liu Ji was a traitor, then the Qin army's response should not be so hasty at the moment. Liu Ji could not have known the importance of the people in this car to Prince Qin's attack on Baiyue."

"So, Liu Ji got rid of the suspicion." The Zhu family looked at the woman in front of him and said.

"Get out for the time being." The woman let out a light breath and said indifferently.

"This time, Xia Kui's plan is crucial and there is no mistake. If Liu Ji wants to participate, he must first prove his innocence."

"Tian Mi, why did Xia Kui choose you as the contact person for Shennong Hall and Lieshan Hall."

The woman in front of me is really the new leader of Kuiwei, Tian Mi.

"There are not many people in the whole farmer family that Xia Kui can trust. You are one, Tian Meng is one, and I am just one."

"What exactly is Xia Kui's plan?"

"This is the last move set by Changping Jun when he was alive. Xia Kui and his team made some changes. If the prince of Qin can be kept in this Baiyue land forever, then the Qin Emperor will be furious and send a large army to attack. If the Qin army falls into the quagmire of Baiyue, then it will definitely be of great benefit to future plans."

"They?" Although Tian Mi said a lot, the Zhu family still felt that this was a huge plan. And he was just a small part of this huge plan.

"Of course they are those who are unwilling to be ruled by the Emperor of Qin? If the world falls into trouble again, it will be the best for them."

The Qin army's long shield was raised, like a wall, completely surrounding the car. In addition, there were ghosts outside patroling from time to time, hunting down the peasant children.

For a moment, this stalemate was very unfavorable to Liu Ji.

"Brother, look." The little brother beside Liu Ji pointed to the air and said loudly.

That's a sign of retreat.

Liu Ji frowned, and everyone was surprised, it was too terrible.

But no matter what, Liu Ji still had to abide by the orders of the Zhu family. He commanded the troops and retreated in an orderly manner.

In another world, Han Xin once commented that the King of Han would be at most 100,000 soldiers. Liu Bang was displeased when he heard this. Nowadays, people think that Liu Bang is just leading his troops because of this sentence.

However, in ancient times, it was already a very remarkable thing for a general to be able to use 100,000 troops and horses, and it was enough to be called a famous general of a generation.

After all, there may not be one person like Han Xin who dares to say that the more troops they lead, the better.

From this we can see that Liu Ji's achievements in commanding the troops. Although he usually looks careless, he really goes to the battlefield and fights life and death, he looks different.

Liu Ji walked up the high slope like a leisurely stroll. He just had a leisurely glance. The towering car in the Qin army's shield formation was still silent, as if the sea of ​​corpses and blood outside had nothing to do with it. An inexplicable smile suddenly flashed across Liu Ji's serious face. (To be continued.)
