An Empire as a Betrothal Gift - Chapter 110

On August 15, Ji Yue left the state of Liang and returned to Yongping. Wei Lian alone guarded the capital and took over the overall situation.

It is easier to fight than to defend. Before the state of Liang was settled down, the state of Qin was in great trouble. In an instant, the people of Liang who were on the verge of extinction saw a glimmer of hope and became restless again.

However, if there is Wei’s restraint, it will extinguish all their extravagant hopes.

After Wei Lian killed more than ten defectors, the rest of Liang Guoxun were terrified. They thought that the king of Qin had left the capital, and they could take the opportunity to fight back. However, Wei Lian, who was previously unknown, was as clever as the king of Qin. He was strict in his defense and set an example to others, but he did not give them a chance to turn over.

What’s wrong with Wei Lian? Isn’t he from Chu? What do you do for the king of Qin? How many people secretly hate teeth itching, but also dare to anger dare not speak. Those who chew their tongue and want to resist will die in the street that night. Wei Lian suppressed them with absolute force.

The hardships were self-evident, but he succeeded.

On the 20th of August, Xie Chen took an army to garrison in the king’s city and joined Wei Lian.

On his first day in the city, he went to see Wei Lian.

“Young master.” Thanks for knowing that Wei Lian has been guarding the city of the kingdom of Liang alone these days. His heart is not without shock.

As a general, he knew how hard it was to keep a new city. What’s more, gongzilian had no hands at all. He attacked Liang people by psychological tactics, so he didn’t dare to act rashly, and then delayed the arrival of the Qin army by delaying the war.

His understanding of Wei Lian was limited to the fact that it was a proton sent by the state of Chu. His majesty loved him very much. The scene of throwing Princess Chonghua into the water showed that he was not a good master. Later, when Wei Lian solved the plague in Jiangzhou, he felt that he was really a powerful man. Now the young master has been guarding a city in chaos for five days, which is really

I admire him.

“I have met your Majesty on the way.” Thanks respectfully way, “Your Majesty took half of the army back to Qin to resist, leaving an army to come to the king’s city to assist you.”

“Here you are.” Wei Lian waited until he arrived, and finally was able to pull away. “Guard the state of Liang, I will leave today. I have already eradicated what should be eradicated. You are responsible for cleaning up the remaining fish. Don’t lose here. ”

Thanks a Leng: “childe want to leave?”

Wei Lian said, “yes.”

“You want to go back to the state of Qin to see your majesty?”

Wei Lian shook his head: “I’ll go back to the state of Chu.”

Thanks for the arrival of the army. Liang doesn’t need to worry about it. Ji Yue alone against the Three Kingdoms united forces, the difficulty can be imagined, he had to help.

But if we talk about the ability of marching and fighting, Ji Yue is the best one. Wei Lian doesn’t need to go to Ji Yue. At present, he has another thing to do.

……

“What can I do for you, young master?” Xiao Wen and aidia sat side by side, puzzled.

As soon as Ji Yue’s identity was exposed, Wei Lian’s identity could not be concealed. At the beginning, Xiao Wen couldn’t accept that he called himself brother-in-law at first. Brother Wei and brother Yue, who had been brothers for so long, turned into a prince and a king of Qin. However, he had a good adaptability, and now he can change his words like a stream of kindness.

“Your Excellency once said that shadow Pavilion should do three things for me.” Wei Lian asked, “can you count?”

He had to count if he didn’t count. He had figured out how to squeeze their full value.

Xiao Wen was sitting in a critical position and said, “count naturally. Even if I go up the mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I will certainly do it. ”

“That’s good.” Wei Lian said, “I will use those three things now.”

He said three things quickly.

“……”

After hearing this, Xiao Wen took a puff at the corner of his mouth OK, I’ll try. ”

I’m really not polite to him. It’s really up to the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire!

On the tenth day of September, the state of Chu, Pan’an.

The war was in chaos and the smoke of gunpowder was rising everywhere. Pan’an city is far more depressed than Wei Lian saw last time.

The Qin and Chu fought again – this time on a larger scale. Yan, Lu and Chu declared war against Qin. No one wants to be the one who has lost his territory. It’s fine to start first.

There are few traces of businessmen on the street. Most of the shops on both sides are closed to protect themselves. Few of the shops open are deserted.

There was a sense of uneasiness in the flames of war. No one knows whether the Qin army defeated the three armies or the Three Kingdoms won the Qin Dynasty tomorrow. All the ordinary people can do is stay in the house and hope that the war will pass quickly.

The inn that I came back from was still open, but I didn’t see a few guests in half a day. It was very cold.

Wei Lian stepped in, and the room was empty. There was no one to serve the tea.

He looked around for a week, went to the counter and called out, “shopkeeper.”

“Ah The shopkeeper was startled and crawled out from under the counter. Seeing Wei Lian, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, “Lang Jun is you. I’m scared to death.”

Wei Lian’s face is really unforgettable. The shopkeeper recognized it at a glance, and then slightly relaxed his vigilance. These two days, the city’s new faces can be particularly noticeable. If he had not to eat, the inn would occasionally have a sum of money or two, and he didn’t want to open the door.Money or life? In real life-threatening situations, most people choose the latter. But if death is not so close to themselves, there will still be a considerable number of people choose the former.

After all, no one can predict whether they will lose their lives or not. But if they can’t make a living now, what’s the difference between losing their lives and losing their lives?

Wei Lian asked, “how did you hide?”

Shopkeeper’s dry smile: “this is not afraid of Qin people to fight in.” This is the case in wartime. People are in danger.

“Is this inn still open?”

“Yes, of course.” The shopkeeper even said, “I still have to live. Is Lang Jun going to have a meal or stay in the shop

“All.” Wei Lian picked a table at random in the lobby and sat down. “I want to stay here tonight and serve a few dishes to fill my stomach. Can I prepare some more dry food? I’m going to leave for the next day. ”

“Well.” The shopkeeper left the counter and went back to the kitchen. “I’ll fry you in the kitchen.”

Wei Lian said, “don’t you have a cook?” Do you still need the shopkeeper to go in person?

And since he entered the room, he has not seen half of the staff, not even other guests.

Pan’an is as quiet as a dead city.

“Business is hard to do. I can’t afford to pay. I have to quit.” The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed. He looked more haggard than the last time.

Wei Lian wisely stopped asking.

The shopkeeper cooked some home cooked dishes and served them to the table himself. He probably hadn’t seen anyone for a long time, and he said, “Lang Jun has seen it. There’s no one here these days. Last time’s mate, little Du, he was conscripted. The child was only 16 years old. He could not hold the big spoon in the kitchen, so he could only carry the dishes. He is good-natured and can’t even fight with others. How can he hold a gun? How can you beat someone else? There is also a mother in his family who needs to be taken care of… ”

The shopkeeper said that, his eyes were a little red. He was dazed for a while, and then suddenly reacted. He wiped the corner of his eyes in a hurry: “I’m glad to see you. The old man has been alone for a long time. He wants to talk when he meets people. He doesn’t feel that he has said too much. ”

Wei Lian shook his head gently: “no harm.”

“The next one has been on the road for a long time, and I want to hear someone talk.”

He had a mouthful of food by the way, and his chopsticks were almost imperceptible.

…… The shopkeeper is probably old and forgetful. He put the salt a few times more.

Wei Lian kept silent and continued to eat.

“That would be nice.” The shopkeeper looked a little happy, “I haven’t been chatting with this old man for a long time. What about the gentleman you were with last time? Like the one in the mask? Is it your brother Why didn’t it happen this time? ”

Wei Lian droops his eyes: “he also went to join the army.”

The shopkeeper suddenly became a little stiff.

Seeing this, Wei Lian immediately changed the words with Chu Dialect: “I am from Chu.”

The shopkeeper’s look slowed down.

More than half of the people who live in inns along the border of Qin and Chu are from Qin Dynasty, otherwise this period of time would not be so desolate. It is not because the people of Qin are not coming and they will not get a good face when they come.

He was afraid that it was the Qin soldiers. Anyway, they were enemies now.

Since this Lang Jun is from Chu, the one with him must be from Chu.

The shopkeeper put his heart down and comforted him: “in this war, every family needs a man. Don’t worry, your brother will come back safely. ”

Wei Lian chuckled: “yes.”

…… Ji Yue is not a big soldier.

The one in his family who joined the army was called the imperial expedition.

“I don’t know when it will end.” The shopkeeper sighed, “my first wife left early and didn’t leave a son. I think Xiaodu is a grandson. Fortunately, old man, I didn’t kiss my grandson. When Du went to war, my heart was empty. It’s hard to be a grandson. ”

It is the common people who suffer from the war. They are not the only ones who leave. There are thousands of families in the world, so their wives and children are separated, and even Yin and yang are separated.

Wei Lian firmly believes that he and Ji Yue will meet again in the near future, just to get through the difficulties in front of him for the time being.

But there are too many people They will never meet again.

Just listening to the manager’s few words, you can see the cruelty of the war.

Wei Lian suddenly said, “if the king is incompetent, old man, do you mind changing a wise monarch?”

The manager was stunned.

“This is what Lang Jun said It’s too bold. I dare not answer

“Don’t worry, shopkeeper. There are only you and me here.”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time and then said, “Your Majesty, he Lust for beauty, mediocrity, killing the virtuous, has already let the people cold and disappointed, we have accumulated resentment for a long time. He is not worthy of… ”

He didn’t dare to say the rest of the words, but said: “say a very treacherous word In fact, we people don’t care who the king is or what their surname is. As long as we can eat and wear warm, and we don’t have to worry about outsiders coming in every day, I will recognize him if he is a Ming Jun

After listening, Wei Lian said a word: “good.”At that time, the shopkeeper did not know that Wei Lian’s word “good” had multiple weight.

The more Ji doesn’t like war, neither does Wei Lian.

But they had to do it, and they had to dye their hands with blood. Wei Lian knew what he was going to do. He might be called treason, reviled by the people of Chu, or engraved on the column of shame by the history of Chu all his life.

He knew what he was doing.

Right and wrong, merits and demerits are judged by later generations. He lived only in the moment, and he knew that what they did was not for the war itself, but for the peace to come.

He wanted to end it earlier than anyone else.

September 17, the state of Chu, Liangcheng.

Liangcheng is the capital of the state of Chu. Recently, the whole city is under martial law. Beware of spies from the state of Qin. The investigation at the gate of the city was extremely meticulous, and any suspicious person was immediately arrested.

Today, there is still a long line at the gate of the city. Suddenly, a young man in white with a hat pulled his horse and crossed a checkpoint.

The garrison immediately stopped and said, “who are you? Get off the horse and report your name

After waiting for a long time, people are also dissatisfied: “that is, go to the back line…”

The youth reined in the reins, took off the hat, eyebrows delicate thin cold, even the voice is as clear as snow: “childe convergence.”
