Chapter 179 True, False, False, False, True

Chapter 39

Lu Wen paced back and forth anxiously in his thatched cottage.

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 their reward has arrived.

The Qin people exchanged ten carts of goods for two pieces of cowhide land from King Yiyu Song of Xiou.

All the people in Xiou wanted to see the Qin people's jokes, but Lu Wen was different. He knows only too well how deceitful those Chinese people who claim to be benevolent are. These Chinese people are dressed in exquisite clothes and pay attention to loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. However, on the inside, they are more ferocious and realistic than the barbarians they despise. They are completely wolves in sheep's clothing.

As for the prince of Great Qin, the great elder of Xiou had also heard a little bit about his deeds. He was young and was not even the eldest son of Qin, but he was able to defeat so many opponents and sit on the throne of the prince of Qin. Throne, will he be a person who makes a loss in business?

"Grandpa Zu! Grandpa Zu!"

His great-grandson Lu Wen ran into his house anxiously, panting. Before Lu Wen could speak, he saw Lu Jia quickly walking to the water tank and scooping out water with a wooden ladle.

"Drink carefully, don't choke." Although Lu Wen was worried about the situation ahead, he still said with concern when he saw his great-grandson like this.

Although Lu Jia is a local aboriginal, there is a delicate beauty in his appearance that does not belong to this barbaric land with high mountains and rivers. In fact, Lu Jia's grandmother came from Chu. When Bai Qi conquered the capital of Ying, many nobles of the Chu State were under the attack of the Qin army and had no time to retreat eastward, so they had to go south. Lu Jia's grandmother was a Chu people who lived in Xi'ou.

"Grandpa, do you know how those Qin people claimed two pieces of cowhide land?" Lu Jia asked excitedly, his eyes gleaming.

Before Lu Wen could say anything bad, Lu Jia couldn't hold it in anymore and said: "Those Qin people used scissors to cut the two pieces of cowhide into strips of thin cowhide, and then connected the strips of thin cowhide together. , and finally enclosed two large pieces of land. Then, hundreds of Qin people came from nowhere and began 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 it would be such a result.

"What did the king say?"

Lu Wen asked, but found that his great-grandson not only had no angry expression, but also expressed great appreciation for 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 people of Qin are very smart. And I have also asked outsiders. Those who call themselves Chinese have tall cities, not earthen villages surrounded by wooden walls like us! Those cities have The stone wall is three to four feet high, with connected houses, restaurants, shops, and markets. A larger city can accommodate 100,000 people? This is equivalent to the population of our entire tribe."

"Tuzhaizi?" Lu Wen was very concerned about the title of his grandson. You know, the village that Lu Jia talked about was the capital of King Xiou! This title was definitely given by those Qin people.

"Moreover, they can weave exquisite clothes, make sharp swords, and write words to record everything that happened in the past. Those Qin people said that originally we Yue people also had these, but for more than a hundred years, we have Is it true that we have gradually forgotten these crafts that have been passed down from generation to generation?”

The young man kept talking, not noticing that his grandfather's face was getting more and more ugly.

Lu Wen wanted to get angry, but looking at his great-grandson's curious eyes, the anger in his chest could not come out. Finally, Lu Wen said dullly: "I want to see the king."

"Okay!" Before Lu Wen could leave 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's running figure, and asked hurriedly.

"I want to go to those Qin people's cities. One of their leaders said that he would give me a short sword and teach me swordsmanship. If I go late, it will be too late."

Lu Wen sighed and headed towards the royal city of Yi Xu Song, which was the cave.

Lu Wen was of high status, so the soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave let him in without asking any questions.

When Lu Wen came to the meeting hall, Yi Xusong was sitting on his tiger skin throne, playing with a scimitar studded with jewels in his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Jia stood in front of Yi Xusong for a long time. When he found that the other party ignored him, he hit the cane in his hand hard and shouted loudly.

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

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

"You have already spoken, how can you regret it? Besides, look at the goods brought by the Qin people. The scimitar in my hand is priceless, even if it is used to exchange for a small tribe, it is more than enough. That piece The water conditions around the land are unstable, and our people don't often go fishing and hunting there. The goods the Qin people gave us far exceed the value of the land, so it's no big deal to hand it over to the Qin people."

"Your Majesty, you have to be careful of the soft knives of the Qin people! Your Majesty, look at what the Qin people brought us most? Clothes, ceramics, jade, bronze mirrors... these things, although they are priceless , but the people of Qin have everything they need, but for us, there is no precious food." The great elder Lu Wen said quickly, trying to wake up this confused king.

"Okay. I have my own plans, so you can go down first!" Yi Xusong seemed to be a little tired and waved his hand to let Lu Wen go down.

Lu Wen looked at Yi Xusong's expressionless expression, thinking that he had slept with the charming woman he snatched from Luo Yue last night. He was a little annoyed, stamped his feet, and left the cave.

After Lu Wen left, the cave became quiet. The lighting pot fire flickered, and the cave became bright and dark.

"Come out!" Yi Xusong said softly. Connected to the cave entrance, a man walked out.

This man walked up to Yi Xusong, and his every move was very respectful, and he bowed to Yi Xusong.

"Your Majesty!"

But for the person in front of him, Yi Xusong didn't have a good expression on his face.

"I have done as you asked, what else do you want next?"

"Your Majesty's words are serious. Tian Guang's actions are just for Your Majesty and for Xiou."

"Hmph! Those Qin people are not good people, are you the one?" Yi Xusong glanced sideways at Tian Guang, his eyes filled with violent light. If possible, he would rush forward and tear the person in front of him to pieces. Break it into pieces to relieve the hatred in your heart.

A king was actually kidnapped in his own capital. If word spreads, how can he, the King of Xiou, continue to do so.

"The king is joking. What Prince Qin wants is the whole of Xiou and even Baiyue, but I, Tian Guang, don't have this ambition yet. Once Lord Changping's legacy strategy succeeds, this huge land of Xiou will still belong to the king. And I It’s just one thing. This is also the basis for us to cooperate with each other.”

"I don't care what you Northerners are planning? You Northerners are used to killing each other! I only want what I deserve."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once the Qin army is defeated, all the materials shipped to Xiou will belong to Your Majesty."

...

In the dense forest, Liu Ji and a group of elites from Shennongtang were lying in ambush.

This time, the person they want to assassinate is a very mysterious person. In the entire Shennong Hall, apart from the Zhu family, the only one who knew the identity of the visitor was Liu Ji.

Ahead, two or three sentries of the Qin army were running, surveying the nearby terrain.

"Should we take action?"

Next to him, a younger brother urged uneasily. Although this young man has high martial arts skills, it is probably his first time doing such a thing, so he still looks very nervous. But except for this person who was brought in temporarily to make up the numbers, the rest of the people had cold eyes and indifferent expressions. They are all dead men raised by the Zhu family in Shennong Hall, and they usually secretly carry out some ulterior plans for the Zhu family. They are very experienced in such a formation. The Zhu family mobilized almost all their personal resources, which shows that they attach great importance to this plan.

"Why are you so anxious? This is just a passing sentry. Our target is still behind us? Besides, the boss hasn't spoken yet!"

The boss Liu Ji was talking about was naturally the Zhu family, the head of Shennong Hall.

Sure enough, as Liu Ji said, after these sentries passed by, a group of heavily armored Qin soldiers were slowly coming from a distance, followed by groups of crossbowmen, and then a carriage. Beside this carriage were heavy knights in light armor and leather suits. Although those knights were wearing crowns, they still had an air of laxity about them. Their weapons and equipment are all tattooed with strange patterns, even on their exposed bodies. The whole thing looks like an evil spirit from hell. . In the entire Da Qin, there is only one team with such unique costumes.

"Even Prince Qin's Hell Ghost Cavalry was dispatched. Who is this rider?" Liu Ji murmured.

"Should we take action?" the younger brother urged anxiously.

A signal came from the mountains, the order to attack.

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

The fighting begins.

On the other side of the mountain, the Zhu family, the leader of Shennong Hall, sat lazily on the tree trunk, holding his fat face with one hand, seeming to be depressed about something.

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

The swaying figure of the woman with long pink hair and enchanting behavior walked slowly towards her. She held a cigarette rod in her hand and blew out a smoke ring as she spoke.

"How's it going ahead?"

"The offensive is going well. The Qin army is now waiting for reinforcements. Your men can retreat."

"Do we have to use this method to prove Liu Ji's reliability?" Zhu Jia spread his hands and said.

"There is no way. Ever since Sheng Qi was confirmed to be a traitor, the whole farm family has been in turmoil. And Liu Ji was kidnapped in Chu, and he probably surrendered to Qin."

"Have you confirmed it now?"

"If Liu Ji is a traitor, then the Qin army's response should not be so hasty at the moment. It is impossible for Liu Ji not to know that the people in this car are important to the Qin Prince's attack on Baiyue."

"So, Liu Ji is free of suspicion." Zhu Jia looked at the woman in front of him and said.

"We're free for now." The woman breathed out softly and said nonchalantly.

"This time, Xia Kui's plan is very important and cannot allow any mistakes. If Liu Ji wants to get involved, he must first prove his innocence."

"Tian Mi, why did Xiakui choose you as the liaison between Shennong Hall and Lieshan Hall?"

The woman in front of me is really the new head of Kuei Hall, Tian Mi.

"In the entire farm family, there are not many people that Xia Kui can trust. You are one, Tian Meng is another, and I happen to be one of them."

"What exactly is Xia Kui's plan?"

"This was a back-up move prepared by Lord Changping when he was still alive. And Xia Kui and the others have made some changes. If the Prince of Qin can be kept in the land of Baiyue forever, then the Emperor of Qin will be furious and send an army to attack. If so, The Qin army has fallen into the quagmire of Baiyue, so it will definitely be of great benefit to future plans."

"Them?" Even though Tian Mi said a lot, the Zhu family still felt clearly that this was a huge plan. And I am just a small part of this huge plan.

"Of course they are those who are not willing to accept the rule of Emperor Qin? If this world falls into troubled times again, it will be the best for them."

The Qin army's long shield was erected, like a wall, completely surrounding the vehicle. In addition, from time to time there are ghost ghosts patrolling outside, hunting and killing the children of farmers.

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

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

That was the signal to retreat.

Liu Ji frowned, and everyone was surprised. This was too anticlimactic.

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

In another world, Han Xin once commented that the king of Han would have at most one hundred thousand soldiers. When Liu Bang heard this, he was unhappy. Because of this sentence, people today think that Liu Bang is no good at leading troops.

However, in ancient times, it was already a very remarkable thing for a general to command one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and it was enough to be called a famous general.

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

This shows Liu Ji's accomplishments in commanding troops and horses. Although he usually looks carefree, when he actually goes to the battlefield and fights to the death, he looks completely different.

Liu Ji walked up the high slope leisurely, and when he had time to look back, he saw that the majestic chariot in the Qin army's shield formation was still silent, as if the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood outside had nothing to do with it. An inexplicable smile suddenly flashed across Liu Ji's serious face.
