Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

"Boom..."

Two thousand Buddha troops marched in front of Zhao Tuo's Luan.

In the counties and villages they passed by, the people poured out of their homes to watch.

Under the sun, the team flashing silver light passed by holding the black water dragon flag high.

The people cheered and praised.

Nowadays, the entire Yingchuan people have almost no less support for the newly ascended Emperor Qin II than Xianyang.

If it weren't for the Second Emperor, if it weren't for the Xianyang Palace, when the treasury had run out of food, they would have resolutely exchanged food for relief.

They may all starve to death in this famine!

Looking at the boiling people in the village in the distance, Zhao Tuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly while driving.

Feng Quji also said with a smile: "It seems that His Majesty's strategy has paid off, which is really gratifying."

"Isn't that right? If it wasn't for the fact that Xianyang Palace was still under temporary control by the emperor, I would really want to walk around Yingchuan County again."

"Order the team to speed up, there are a lot of trivial matters in this trip, and there are still a lot of things waiting in Xianyang."

"Here!"

Under Zhao Tuo's order, the army quickened its pace.

Less than half a day later, the team arrived at the destination of the trip - Xu County.

Here, it can be regarded as the most impoverished county in Yingchuan County today.

It is also the county seat with the most deaths in this famine.

Rao is originally Yingchuan County in the whole of Daqin, a relatively rich place, but the people of Xu County are still poor and poor, and they cannot collect taxes every year.

Zhao Tuo came here for two reasons.

One is to engage in face-saving projects, and the other is to see why Xu County is so barren?

"Boom..."

The earth shook, and the rumbling sound of hooves broke the original calm of this dilapidated village.

However, when Zhao Tuo's Luan Jia entered the village under the protection of a small group of Tiefu Tu, both Zhao Tuo and Feng Quji frowned in unison.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

Zhao Tuo glanced around and nodded slightly.

"It's not as enthusiastic as the people in other parts of Yingchuan County."

"Every family closes their doors, here... I seem to be very unwelcome."

It's not that Zhao Tuo is narcissistic.

Just in terms of normal circumstances, he can be regarded as saving the entire Yingchuan County.

It is reasonable to welcome you, right?

Even if you don't want to welcome him, from the perspective of etiquette, as the second emperor of Daqin, when he travels to Chengjun, people must go out to meet him.

"It's not right, it's too wrong."

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The whole Xu County seems to have some other inside story."

"Your Majesty, should we ask a villager to ask?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Tuo nodded: "Just ask, it's not a problem for us to wander around like this."

"Fengxian, let's see if there are any people who are active outside, and bring them here."

"As ordered!"

Lü Bu rode his horse forward, and after a while he rushed back with a shivering peasant woman.

"My lord, someone brought it back."

"Um……"

Zhao Tuo got off the Luan Jia, looked at the peasant woman in front of him with his hands behind his back, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, I came here to see how the people are doing."

The peasant woman said nothing.

"How many people are in your family? Can the Xianyang Palace's relief food be enough?"

The peasant woman remained silent.

"How many people are there in this village? Why don't they come out and walk around?"

Still didn't speak.

This time, even Feng Quji, who has always been mild-tempered, couldn't help shouting angrily:

"Bold! Your Majesty has repeatedly asked questions and kept silent. How dare the common people be so rude and disrespectful to His Majesty."

"Speak! Who gave you the courage!"

"Uuuuuu..."

After all, she was a peasant woman in a village. Faced with such a battle, plus Feng Quji's rebuke, she was so frightened that she burst into tears.

But even so, she still covered her mouth tightly and didn't answer the question asked by Zhao Tuo.

This time, it's not just Zhao Tuo and Feng Quji.

Even Lu Bu, who has never been very fond of brainstorming, saw something different.

Zhao Tuo gave Feng Quji a look and asked him to step back, and then he started to knock on the peasant woman's mouth...

Some intimidation and temptation, and some brains.

With Zhao Tuo's efforts, the peasant woman finally spoke up.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that the girl doesn't want to say it, but... but she doesn't dare to speak to you."

"Don't you dare?" Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "I don't eat people, so what can I say?"

The peasant woman shook her head again and again, her face pale.

After glancing around, she whispered:

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything, our village... has the ancestors of the original country!"

The ancestors of the country appeared?

Zhao Tuo frowned imperceptibly.

This is Yingchuan, which was originally the boundary of the country of Han. What relationship should the "ancestor of the country" in this peasant woman's mouth have to do with the country of Han?

"Go ahead and listen."

The peasant woman took a deep breath and told the whole story in detail.

It turned out that a long time ago, there was an old Taoist in the village who was quite capable.

As soon as they arrived here, they said that the spirit of the ancestors of the Han state was deposited here. Because Daqin had an enmity between the Han state and the country, the villagers could not have anything to do with Daqin.

Otherwise you will be punished.

At first, some people didn't believe in evil, but that night, horrible and strange things happened in these people's homes!

I only heard the knock on the door, but not the knocker!

This frightened the people of the village.

The people simply put together the money and invited the Taoist priest to come to the village to do the trick, which appeased the "ancestors" of the country.

"Is that so..."

Zhao Tuo laughed dumbly, no wonder this village is so barren and backward.

It's no wonder that the people in the village behave like this when they see their Luan Jia.

It seems that compared to the terrifying unknown and imperial power, these ignorant people are more afraid of the former.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo suddenly said, "Can you show me the fellow who was knocked on the door by a ghost?"

The peasant woman hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Under the leadership of the peasant woman, Zhao Tuo and his party came to a dilapidated courtyard.

"Heh...is that true?"

Seeing the gate of the courtyard, a smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's mouth.

Immediately, he ordered: "All the Buddha troops are there, and they are evacuated from Xu County ten miles away."

"Fengxian, Feng Xiang, the two of you will change your clothes with me and spend the night in this village."

"?"

Seeing Feng Quji's confused face, a sneer smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face.

"Since I'm here, I want to take a look."

"Scavenge the blood and sweat of my people in Daqin, and provoke the relationship between the people and Xianyang Palace.

"These remnants of the Six Nations...how many pounds and taels are there!"*
