One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 174 Who Lies?

After dismissing Wei Ke, Qin Yi sat alone in the second hall of the county government office, thinking about his future plans.

Lu County has only just opened its doors, and there are bad neighbors bullying people before their ass is warmed up. This is not good news for Qin Yi.

Apart from Qiu Xi, the eldest son county already known, how many people are eyeing Lu county.

Wolves are everywhere, the situation is not good!

While Qin Yi was thinking, he suddenly felt numbness in his left hand, and the system sent another message.He immediately connected to the communicator.

"Ding dong, the second part of the second stage of the story mission is open. The goal of the mission is to become the prefect of Shangdang County; the time limit for completing the mission is before June [-]th of the second year of Chuping."

As soon as he heard the prompt from the system, Qin Yi couldn't help but want to run away.This damn system thinks that I am a superman. I just became the magistrate of Lu County, and it wants to make me the prefect of Dang County.The key is, I was only given nine months.Nine months, the internship period for future generations of college students will be longer than this!

Qin Yi was cursing, but the system immediately sent out another prompt: "Ding dong, a new upgrade mission has begun. The mission goal is to expand the army to 3000 people. The mission completion time limit is before the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Chuping."

Expand the army?This task is deeply in my heart. Even if the system does not release this task, I am planning to expand the army... Wait, it said just now, how much time did it give me to complete the task?

"Ding dong, I remind you again that you have to expand the army to 3000 before the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the first year of Chuping. You have less than three months left."

"You have less than three months left!" Qin Yi was angry. He expanded the army to 3000 men within three months. This task seemed not difficult, but the problem was that Qin Yi was now destitute. How could he support his troops? With what to equip the recruits?Who should manage the new recruits?
"Ding dong, friendly reminder, this release is a plot mission and an upgrade mission. If you fail to complete it on time, the base vehicle will be destroyed, and both this system and you will be destroyed. Therefore, we do have three months left .”

After giving the last prompt, the system becomes silent and the call ends.

Qin Yi was completely dumbfounded. Both the plot mission and the upgrade mission could not be refused.If he doesn't want to be destroyed, he can only rack his brains to complete the task.

After sitting there for a long time, Qin Yi finally mustered up his fighting spirit.

"Come on, tell Zhao Xiancheng and Master Xu to come here to see me!" Qin Yi shouted towards the door.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang came to the second hall.

"Gongming, I have something to ask you."

As soon as Zhao Yun and Xu Huang took their seats, Qin Yi couldn't wait to say to Xu Huang.

"What's the matter?" Xu Huang asked in surprise.

"I remember you said that when you led troops to pursue Yan Rou, you passed by Changzi County, right?"

"That's right, we turned west from the vicinity of Zhangzi County."

"Gongming, when you led troops into Changzi County, have you ever encountered the army from Changzi County?" Qin Yi asked again.

Xu Huang thought for a while, and said, "I encountered an army of 300 to [-] people blocking the way. But after I revealed my identity, they gave way on their own initiative. It was the leader of that army who told me that Yan Rou's Shang The team fled west."

Upon hearing Xu Huang's words, Qin Yi immediately realized that something was wrong.If what Wei Ke said was true, and Qiu Xi had great hostility towards Lu County, he would definitely not let Xu Huang enter the country.Did Wei Ke not tell the truth?But something is wrong, the things Wei Ke told me are not hidden things, I will send someone to inquire casually, and I will know if he is lying, he will not be so stupid as to open his eyes and tell nonsense.

"Tian Yu, why are you asking about this?" Seeing Qin Yi lost in thought, Xu Huang hurriedly asked.

Qin Yi came back to his senses and said: "I heard from Wei Ke that there is an iron mine in the south of Lu County, which is now occupied by Qiu Xi, the county magistrate of Zhangzi County. I am considering whether to send troops to take this iron mine back."

"Take it! Of course we will take it back! Why should his eldest son reach out to Lu County's iron mines!" Xu Huang said immediately after hearing this.

Qin Yi waved his hand lightly, and said, "But after hearing what you said just now, I'm not too busy thinking about the iron mine."

"My words? What does Tianyu mean?" Xu Huang was at a loss.

Qin Yi said: "Wei Jian told me that Qiu Xi sent additional troops to the iron mine after he learned that we were coming to Lu County. He was obviously on guard against us. Since Qiu Xi is so hostile to us, he How could he let you enter Changzi County so easily? And let his subordinates take the initiative to tell you Yan Rou's whereabouts?"

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment: "Yeah, after hearing what you said, I also feel something is wrong."

Qin Yi looked at Zhao Yun: "What does Zilong think about this?"

Zhao Yundao: "This kind of situation shows that what someone said must be a lie!"

Xu Huang became impatient when he heard this: "Zilong, do you suspect Xu?"

Zhao Yun hurriedly bowed his hands to Xu Huang to apologize: "Brother Gongming is overthinking, you and I followed the county lord all the way from Yecheng to Lu County, and we are the people who trust each other the most."

"That's Wei Ke lying!" Xu Huang looked at Qin Yi and said.

Qin Yi shook his head and said: "Wei Ji talked to me about a lot of things, maybe there are inaccuracies in what he said, but he didn't need to lie to me about Qiu Xi."

"Then... I didn't tell a lie, what Wei Yan said was the truth, what went wrong?" Xu Huang was completely stunned.

Qin Yi was also puzzled: there must be something wrong, but where exactly?
He recounted what Wei Ji and Xu Huang had said.As he was thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know who told the lie." At this moment, Zhao Yun said.

"It seems that Zilong has gained something, but I don't know if he is thinking of the same person as Qin." Qin Yi said to Zhao Yun with a smile.

"You two, stop playing tricks and tell me who lied?" Xu Huang urged.

"Qiu Xi."

"The officer."

Qin Yi and Zhao Yun said the answer at the same time.

When Xu Huang heard this, he blinked his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh with a slap, and said, "I see, what you two are talking about is actually the same thing, and it was Qiu Xi who deliberately arranged for someone to show me the way and lead me to To the west. Actually, Yan Rou didn't go west at all!"

"That's right, maybe Yan Rou is hiding in Zhangzi County!" Qin Yi said with bright eyes.

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Huang: "Brother Gong Ming, when you were chasing Yan Rou, did you ever see his caravan with your own eyes?"

Xu Huang said: "Of course I saw it with my own eyes. When we chased to Xiangling County, I saw a caravan with the Yan character flag from a distance. Later, the Baibo army blocked the way, so I withdrew."

"It seems that we have all been tricked by Yan Rou, what a way to get rid of the golden cicada's shell!" Qin Yi suddenly realized, "I guess, Yan Rou should be in Zhangzi County at this moment. Since Wei Xi said, Qiu Xi and Huang Luchi Once a deal was made, then Yan Rou and Qiu Xi must also be acquainted. He hid with Qiu Xi, but ordered his caravan to continue westward and lure Gong Ming away."

"Maybe, Yan Rou and Bai Bojun also have contacts!" Zhao Yun also speculated.

When Xu Huang heard this, he was furious and stood up immediately.
