I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

Zhou Qiang sighed.

Originally, he used to make a living as a merchant between the two countries, but the exploitation at Yuyi Pass was too serious, and he found out that merchants could not make any money at all.

On a whim, I came here to help those merchants who had just come to Yuyiguan to get out of the customs, and at the same time collect some small rewards.

"Then the King of Southern Border is really not a good guy. If it weren't for him, we merchants wouldn't have to live so hard." Li An said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Qiang's face instantly sank.

He put down the rein in his hand, and looked back at Li An angrily: "Master, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately!"

"Oh?" Li An was a little interested in Zhou Qiang's changes, and continued to ask: "Could it be that if you speak ill of the King of Southern Border, you will be beheaded?"

"Of course not, the prince is a virtuous king who meets once in a hundred years, and he will not punish the master for his unintentional mistake."

Zhou Qiang's voice has lost its previous enthusiasm.

"I said Zhou Qiang, I'm scolding Li An, the king of Southern Xinjiang, why are you so angry? Are you related to Li An?"

Anyway, it's not Li An's turn yet, and Li An has time to joke around with Zhou Qiang.

"I'm just a pariah, so naturally I dare not stand up to the prince. But in this southern border, in Qingshui County, we don't allow any voices insulting the prince!"

Zhou Qiang is serious.

"Why?" Li An smiled without thinking too much.

The more Zhou Qiang looked at Li An now, the more he disliked him, and he gritted his teeth angrily: "What do you guys from other places know?"

"Although it is because of the prince, those giant merchants dare not run this business route, and these soldiers desperately squeeze us small merchants without oil and water.

But you know that when those big businessmen are running rampant, we small traders are not qualified to run this business route at all.

At that time, if you wanted to run this business route, you had to gamble your life, betting that those big businessmen didn't think of you and didn't regard you as a competitor, otherwise you would end up with nothing but money and money. "

"In addition, do you know what the prince did in Qingshui County? Do you know how many lives were saved by the water conservancy projects that the prince built to overcome the drought and flood?

Do you know how many people in Qingshui County would starve to death every year if it wasn't for the prince?

Before the prince came, more than [-] people died of starvation in Qingshui County in one year, thousands died of floods, and there was no way to track down those who died of plague! "

"My lord has come and helped us resist the flood and prevent the plague, and now there are no people in Qingshui County who starve to death.

Not only that, but now the people are well-fed and well-fed, all of which were given to us by the prince.

If there is no prince, more than a hundred people in my hometown would have starved to death long ago.

How do you foreigners who have not experienced those sufferings understand?You can only see the small profits in front of you forever, but you cannot see the grand ambitions of the prince.

In short, whoever dares to slander the prince in my Zhou Qiang's ear, I, Zhou Qiang, will fight him desperately! "

Zhou Qiang gritted his teeth and stared at Li An.

Li An smiled, why doesn't he know what he has great ambitions?

Immediately he continued: "But what I heard is not so, the king of Southern Xinjiang, Li An, abused his power, took away by force, ransacked the homes of many wealthy gentry, and sent them all to dig canals and build dams.

It is said that the first group of people have all died of exhaustion on the construction site. People who abuse the law and abuse their power for personal gain will be what you call a virtuous king! "

"They all deserve to die. If they hadn't oppressed the people in Yurou Township, how could the lord have raided their homes? Those merchants who don't make money for the country and don't oppress the people, why are there nothing wrong?"

The more Zhou Qiang spoke, the angrier he became, he took out the two taels of silver he had received before and threw it at Li An's carriage.

"Return your dirty money to you, you can go out on your own, I won't serve you anymore!"

The money that flew in suddenly scared Liu Yiyi, afraid of hitting Li An, Liu Yiyi quickly stood sideways in front of Li An.

Li An took it with him, and Liu Yiyi fell into his arms, only to see that Li An reached out and caught two taels of silver easily.

The faces of Wang Hu and the others were also terribly dark at the moment.

Damn, when you praised my lord before, I admired you very much, and I plan to reward you with more money later.

In the end, you dare to attack my prince?Are you looking for a beating?

"Shua, Shua, Shua~" Wang Hu and many of his personal guards drew their swords and walked towards Zhou Qiang.

Although Zhou Qiang was a little scared, he still glared at Li An's carriage.

"Even if you kill me, I, Zhou Qiang, will not regret what I said just now. The prince is the god of my people in Qingshui County."

"Zhou Qiang, right? I won't kill you." Li An said calmly, stretching his hand out of the carriage: "Keep your money safe, and don't make things difficult for money."

"I don't need your money." Zhou Qiang refused sternly, "I have paid you back the money, and you can let me go."

"This is not acceptable. I have already paid the money, and the transaction has already begun. You have to complete the transaction responsibly and send us out."

Zhou Qiang just wanted to refuse sharply, but Wang Hu gestured to the sharp sword in his hand.

The situation was stronger than others, Zhou Qiang could only grit his teeth, walked back with a sullen face and took the rein.

"You haven't taken your money yet." Li An reminded with a smile.

Zhou Qiang pretended not to hear.

"Hey, why is this kid tougher than me? My lord... my lord tells you to hold it, and you can hold it. You can't be sensible unless my old wang's fist the size of a sandbag falls on you?"

Wang Hu had a fierce look on his face.

When Zhou Qiang saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched violently. With Wang Hu's body size, he could half-mutilate himself with one punch, right?

Under Wang Hu's pressure, Zhou Qiang reluctantly took the money back.

At this time, a convoy passed the inspection, and Li An's convoy also stepped forward.

"My lord." Liu Yiyi's soft voice came, with a bit of shyness and charm in her voice, which made Li An's bones go numb.

"What's the matter Yiyi?" Li An looked down at Liu Yiyi.

"My lord, you can put me down." Liu Yiyi's voice became smaller and smaller, she lowered her head and blushed to the back of her ears.

Only then did Li An notice that Liu Yiyi was still sitting on his lap, her buttocks were soft.

The key is that every time the carriage moves, it shakes...

Li An smiled, didn't play tricks, and put Liu Yiyi on the seat next to her and sat down.

Immediately, Liu Yiyi was taught a serious lesson: "Next time, don't be stupid. When you encounter danger, remember to hide behind this king. Don't look at this king's beautiful face, in fact, this king is a Lianjiazi."

"Yeah." Liu Yiyi nodded, just looking at her absent-minded appearance, she didn't know if she had listened to Li An's words.

Chapter 39 Murder

Soon they arrived at Li An's convoy, and several soldiers came over aggressively.

"Everyone in the carriage rolled down, we have to check if there are any criminals wanted by the court."

A soldier yelled.

If Zhou Qiang had helped deal with it before, but the elder on the carriage insulted his idol, he is very upset now.

So he pretended not to hear, and held his head up as if it had nothing to do with him.

Wang Hu didn't bother to take the initiative to bribe these soldiers, and glared at them aggressively.

Sensing Wang Hu's hostility, the leading soldier drew out his weapon directly: "Get out of the car immediately for inspection!"

Wang Hu and a group of personal guards also drew their swords, and the two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Li An pulled the curtain of the car and took Liu Yiyi out of the carriage: "Old Wang, if the officials want to check, let them check. We don't do anything wrong, and we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

"Yes, master." Wang Hu nodded and put away the knife.

The other guards also put away their weapons.

Seeing this, the guard guards also breathed a sigh of relief, put the knife back into its sheath, and walked towards Li An and the others.

"I searched everything carefully." The leading soldier waved his hand.

Originally, they were just trying to extort money, but this group of people are so ignorant, so don't blame them for being cruel.

Because Wang Hu was too strong, two soldiers went over to search him, so that the soldiers could feel relieved.

Four big hands touched Wang Hu's body left and right, and the blue veins on Wang Hu's forehead were visible to the naked eye.

Soon a soldier touched Wang Hu's money bag, and when he opened it, he was blinded by the white money inside.

"It's quite rich." The soldier said, directly hanging the money bag on his waist.

The same was true for the other soldiers who searched for Li An's personal body, and directly put the money they found in their pockets.

The faces of the personal guards were not much better than Wang Hu's at the moment, they were all waiting for Li An to speak, and then drew their knives to attack people.

At this moment, the leader of the soldiers also came to Li An. He groped Li An, and then frowned: "You are dressed like a dog, is there half of your body?"

Then, he fixed his eyes on Liu Yiyi beside Li An.

Seeing Liu Yiyi's beautiful face, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if such a beauty can stay overnight?

His gaze became more and more obscene, and his hands began to move around.

"Little beauty, let the official search your body carefully." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Liu Yiyi.

With disgust written all over Liu Yiyi's face, she subconsciously hid behind Li An.

Seeing this, the soldier leader stretched out his masturbation and grabbed Liu Yiyi's arm with a smile.

"Her, you can't search." Li An grabbed the wrist of the soldier leader and said coldly.

"Who are you, I have the final say whether to search or not." The soldier leader cursed angrily, trying to shake off Li An's hand.

However, he was surprised to find that Li An's hand was like a pair of pliers, and he couldn't shake it off at all.

"Let me go." The soldier leader said with a gloomy face, "Don't let me search her body. Could it be that she has some ulterior secrets?"

"It's not as complicated as you think, it's just simple, she, only I can touch her." Li An smiled lightly.

"I'm really going to touch her today." The soldier leader with a gloomy face drew out the long knife from his waist and chopped it off at Li An's arm without saying a word.

"Swipe~" The piercing sound came from Li An's ears, and a sharp knife cut straight through the soldier's leader's throat.

The soldier leader held his throat in disbelief, and stared at Liu Qing who was standing behind Li An with rounded eyes.

When did he come here?

Li An looked back at Liu Qing speechlessly, "The next time you kill someone, just kill someone. Don't use the knife from the back of my neck. It's scary."

Liu Qing bowed his head towards Li An apologetically, and immediately looked at the other soldiers holding the long sword.

"They killed the corporal leader, kill them quickly!" The other soldiers came to their senses, and all of them raised their knives and rushed towards this side.

Naturally, Wang Hu and others would not let these soldiers rush to Li An, just draw their swords and chop them down in one go.

Several soldiers belched on the spot.

The trail is such a big place, and when the killing started on this side, all the guards in other places noticed it.

All the soldiers surrounded Li An and the others with a murderous look, and the soldiers on the city wall also aimed at Li An with their bows and arrows.

Liu Yiyi's small face turned slightly pale.

Li An stretched out his hand and gently brought Liu Yiyi into his arms, "Don't be afraid, they won't be able to turn against the sky if I'm here."

"Yeah." Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, and leaned against Li An.

The soldiers guarding the pass quickly killed me, Wang Hu fought bravely with a group of personal guards, and Liu Qing stayed by Li An's side every step of the way.

Li An didn't rush to reveal his identity, but looked at the bodyguards who were fighting.

Speaking of which, he has not personally verified the combat effectiveness of his personal guards.

"kill!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and a large number of soldiers guarding the pass died under the knives of the guards in a short while.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides is not equal at all. The guards beat these gate guards just like a father beat his son. After beheading dozens of gate guards, none of the guards were injured.

Li An felt that it wasn't that his personal guards were too strong, but that the guards were too weak.

These soldiers fought indiscriminately when they fought without any cooperation. Obviously, they have been neglected for a long time.

"Fortunately, I came to Yuyiguan in advance." Li An said slowly.

"Why did the prince say that?" Liu Yiyi looked puzzled.

"Just these chickens are guarding the Yuyi Pass. If the enemy country really comes over one day, they won't even be able to last for half an hour!"
