I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Chapter 427 Master in the Folk

Of course, Li Wei and the others would not believe Lu Yi's words so easily. During the meeting, Ye Chongyang left the meeting under the pretext of having something to do, but actually slipped out to ask for information.

The black-clothed secret agent was extremely efficient, and quickly got everything about Lu Yi's background. After Ye Chongyang returned to the table, he winked at everyone that this woman was fine, but everyone did not let down their vigilance.

Li Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, if a beautiful woman like Lu Yi had evil intentions, he would really be ruthless.

Once the spirit is relaxed, not only is it much more relaxed, but also the mood becomes extraordinarily good. Li Wei can't help but have a desire for beauty, and he can't help showing off deliberately during the chat, and even wrote a poem about the current situation.

Although the poem is not a god-level masterpiece, but there are so many Tang poems and Song poems in my stomach, and I can call it a good poem. At least it makes Lu Yi look at him a little differently than before.

In the continent where literature is valued over martial arts, talented girls are naturally most admired by young ladies from good families, and Luyi is no exception, but she is more realistic than those young ladies who are just in love. She tried every means to inquire about Li Wei's background.

Some things should be humble when you should be humble, and don’t hide them when you shouldn’t be humble. Li Wei said very modestly that he is currently working as a staff member in the mansion of the General Hushi. Some ideas or something, and then I just ate my food.

Some witty words made Lu Yi cover her mouth and giggle, and there was a different look in her phoenix eyes.

Young and talented, good-looking, good-natured, talkative and funny, with a good family background, and already in the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats, no matter how you look at it, he is the most ideal husband-in-law, far exceeding the criteria in her heart for choosing a mate. That's self-deception.

In fact, she has long seen that the little six sons Ye Chongyang and his wife are Li Langjun's friends on the surface, but in fact they are extremely respectful. They are either Li Langjun's subordinates or guards. Thinking about his identity, Huqi Da The staff of the general's mansion, this staff's official position is not big, but he is really the confidant of the general Hussars, his status is very important, and it is normal to have guards accompanying him when he goes out.

Once the heart lake has ripples, it will be out of control. Luyi looks at Li with a little softer eyes, and then she has to use her own means to keep him.

She is a very practical woman. After the man dies, she is kicked out of the house by the old woman. For the rest of her life, she must find a man she can rely on. Once she makes up her mind, she will take action immediately.

God seemed to be trying to match this fate, but suddenly changed his face. Suddenly, there was a strong wind and dark clouds, and a heavy rain was coming soon.

Lvyi took the opportunity to order the maid Chunhong to move Dongdong into the room, and invited Li Wei to continue drinking tea in the room. Li Wei's desire to hunt for beauty got up early, so it was natural to go with the flow.

Xiaoliuzi and the others were already used to this kind of thing, they wisely guarded outside the room, and brought in more than a dozen special night bugs who were secretly guarding outside to strengthen their guard.

The servant girl Chunhong was shocked at the beginning, and after Xiaoliuzi explained, she understood that it was Li Langjun's bodyguard, and immediately asked the servant girl to kill chickens and cook, and invited everyone to eat, which also hinted that Li Langjun wanted to stay and have a long talk with his wife.

A lonely man and a widow live in the same room, one has the intention to hook up, and the other has the guts to steal it. Naturally, it is firewood and a fire. At first, the two pretended to talk about their ideals in life, and they rolled on the couch while talking. Continue to explore the true meaning of life with live ammunition.

When Li Wei opened his eyes, it was already noon of the next day, and the wonderful person beside him was still lying on his body, sleeping soundly.

It was a lot of tossing yesterday, and I don’t know how many times it was. Luyi has never been this crazy for a long time. She is naturally charming, with extremely strong combat power, and she also fought her life. This battle was extremely tragic. Li Weixiu practiced Although the Nine Suns Divine Art has a small success, it is only a small advantage, and it can be regarded as a lose-lose.

This woman, a born Yuhai Yinwa, has no skills, and she will definitely be squeezed dry by her... Li Wei slipped out of the door lightly, and the maidservant Chunhong looked at him with more admiration and longing in her eyes , She knows better than anyone else how powerful her little lady is. She never expected that Li Langjun, who is not very strong, has such terrifying fighting power.

She is very much looking forward to Li Langjun's return tomorrow, her little lady can't stand it, she will sacrifice herself to save her, and she is very happy.

Well, witnessing such a tragic battle, even a loyal and loyal woman would have to wet her skirt.

"The young master has met an opponent."

On the way back to the mansion, the little six sons who were good at observing facial expressions could see that Li Wei was a little tangled in his heart, and carefully reminded him: "Nine Suns Divine Kungfu is a divine skill for health preservation, and the young master has neglected to practice it recently."

"The military is busy..."

Li Wei coughed lightly, busyness is false, laziness is true, originally, he felt that Xiao Xiaoxiao and other women had practiced the art of inner seductiveness, but they couldn't stand it under his Nine Suns Divine Art, so he couldn't help feeling complacent, feeling Nine Suns Divine Art has been practiced to the current level, and it can basically be settled, so it is a bit lazy.

He never imagined that this time he encountered Lu Yi, who was extremely fierce in combat, and almost made him throw up his helmet and armor.

He is still a little depressed until now, why is Lu Yi so powerful?

The only explanation is talent.

Li Wei, who was full of wild thoughts, suddenly thought of a popular saying in later generations: the real masters are among the people!Once this kind of stealing fragrance and jade starts, it is easy to sink people. Whenever Li Wei is free, he sneaks to Luyi Tea House to discuss the true meaning of life with Luyu's master and servant.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the good news came that the Great Wall connecting Canglong Mountain and Tieji Mountain was finally closed. Except for the craftsmen, carpenters, and masons who remained at the construction site to continue construction, the recruited young men had returned one after another.

The closing of the Great Wall announced the end of the great project. The southeast pass named the Great Wall was not only the southeast barrier of the land occupied by the Qin Empire, but also the advance base for the army to go south. Of course, it had to be well built.

The next step is to properly build government offices, barracks, warehouses, etc. These projects are not in a hurry, and all the thousands of private soldiers who were captured before are responsible for the construction.

After the warehouse was built, a large amount of food and weapons and equipment were transported one after another and accumulated in the Great Wall pass.

During this period, the defense of the Great Wall was in the hands of Yingyang General Zhuo Fengxing, with a garrison force of 1, while Mingzhu returned home with [-] soldiers from the Phoenix Army.

The most urgent task of the Qin Empire is to digest the occupied land, recuperate, recover as soon as possible, and accumulate war energy. The established next strategic goal is the Zhou Empire.

Chapter 428 Missed Opportunity

The empire wanted to expand, and the strategic goal was to choose the Zhou Empire. This was an unavoidable choice. Now the only ones connected to the Great Qin Kingdom were the Zhou Empire and the Jin Empire. The closest one was the Jin Empire, separated by a river.

However, the Jin Empire is recognized as the most powerful country in the Cangyun Continent. Although the Great Qin successfully annexed the two countries of Wei and Tang, and its national power has skyrocketed several times, the overall strength of the original Tang occupied area is still very weak before it is digested and developed. Enough strength to challenge the mighty Jin Empire.

As for the Golden Empire, for now, Li Wei does not want to provoke it for the time being. Outside the Great Wall, there is a vast expanse of prairie and the vast Gobi Desert. Due to geographical and other reasons, materials are extremely scarce, and living conditions are also very difficult. It is also rare, but it also makes the tribes there tough and aggressive. Men and women who grew up on horseback are born qualified fighters, especially good at riding and archery. one.

The combat power of the Jin army is unquestionable. Even though Mingzhu has fought against the Jin army many times, although they won every battle, most of them relied on dense spear formations or relying on grain carts to block the impact of the Jin army cavalry. The dense rain of arrows killed a large number of golden soldiers to win. If the same number of cavalry faced off, she admitted that she would lose, which showed that the combat power of the golden cavalry was extraordinary.

Another very troublesome problem. The northernmost part of Yuanwei's occupied area is close to Qingtang Daxue Mountain. It is a place of ice and snow and extremely cold. If a war with the Jin Empire is launched, it will be a huge test for logistics and transportation. In short, attack from the north The Golden Empire consumes too much and is not worthwhile at all. War is a game that burns money and cannot be played.

Considering the long-term battle, the existence of the Jin Empire can greatly restrain the strength of the Jin Empire, and even pose a considerable threat. Before that, Mingzhu went out several times to sweep deep into the prairie, and the Jin soldiers lost their armor and armor. Be honest for a while, now, the Jin Empire, which has lost its pearl, who else can take on this important task?

Therefore, no matter how stupid Li Wei is, he would not go to war with the Jin Empire now, and letting it drag the Jin Empire back is the best policy.

Of course, the Golden Empire lacks food, iron ore and other materials. Even if the empire needs the horses of the prairie, Li Wei will not exchange iron ore, but only exchange luxuries such as silk and tea, even if he exchanges food , It is also a limited amount. All grains shipped out of the border must go through strict inspections, and various customs clearance certificates are required. Otherwise, not only will they be confiscated, but relevant responsibilities will also be investigated.

There were some unscrupulous profiteers who ignored the laws of the empire and secretly smuggled a large amount of grain and iron ore out of the customs in order to make huge profits. The bloody heads frightened many businessmen, and no one dared to take the risk of risking their lives for this risky money.

There are also some small tribes with a very small population living on the edge of the glacier, and the living conditions are extremely difficult. In addition, the Golden Army cavalry raids from time to time, making them miserable, so they have to move to the depths of the glacier. With the protection of the Qin Empire, the patriarchs of these small tribes couldn't help being moved, and sent envoys to Chang'an to ask the King of Qin for protection.

Li Gang agreed very readily, and gave various advantages, but the prerequisite is to accept the rule of the Great Qin Empire and intermarry, otherwise there will be no discussion.

Some small tribes with a small population and too weak to protect themselves accepted the conditions. The whole tribe moved into the customs and was allocated a certain number of fields. The nomadic life was ended from the beginning, and they lived a stable and good life.

There are also some tribes who refuse the conditions for intermarriage and continue to live a hard life of being exterminated at any time.

For these small tribes with a population of only [-] to [-] people, the Li family and his sons don't bother to care about them. As long as you don't harass the border and kill the people of Daqin, you can play whatever you want outside the pass. , can only serve as free labor.

In this Qin-Tang war, Jin Wang Huabin did not want to send troops to fish in troubled waters, but the ministers had different opinions. Some advocated sending troops to attack Zhou, and some main forces crossed the river to attack Qin.

King Huabin of Jin was more inclined to the latter. He wished he could peel Li Wei's skin and stretch his tendons. Whenever he had the chance, he would certainly want to attack Qin to avenge his shame.

If we only talk about infantry and cavalry, the army of the Jin Empire can crush any empire on the mainland at will, but the navy is the weakness of the Jin Empire, and the two countries are separated by the Nu River, and the navy of the Qin Empire is very powerful, Huabin Although a large amount of military expenditure has been allocated to reorganize the navy fleet, although the craftsmen are rushing to work day and night, and the number of new warships has increased, they are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and it will take a year or two to suppress the navy of the Qin Empire in terms of numbers. Fleet, at this time, the risk of crossing the river to fight is twice as high as directly sending troops to attack the Zhou Empire. There are too many unpredictable variables.

Hua Bin was very conflicted. No one expected that at the critical moment, the Tang Empire would have civil strife and kill each other for power, while the Ninth Princess Tang Fei'er defected to the Qin Empire, and came forward to clean up the mess in a logical manner. The situation was settled, and Hua Bin, who was extremely entangled, missed a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but Zhou Wang Chu Wangjiang quickly took advantage of it, and snatched the two important towns of Tiegang and Yiwu without bloodshed.

As soon as he hesitated, he missed the opportunity. Hua Bin was furious. The rapid rise of the Qin Empire made him vigilant and uneasy. solve.

Although he has mastered most of the military power, he still feels that his throne has not been firmly established. Xuan Suju still has great power and influence in the court. If Xuan Yue turns to support his brothers, trouble But it is very big, therefore, he must first eliminate future troubles forever, and then slowly uproot and eradicate Xuan Suju's influence.

The pit had already been dug by the people of Xuansuju. After the brothers who threatened his throne were dealt with, they would find an excuse to start a war against the Jin Empire, and use the hands of the Jinmen to weaken Xuansuju's power in the army one by one. At the same time, it can also consume some of the strength of Jin Guo, which can be said to be multiple in one fell swoop.

Don't forget, although all the people of the Golden Empire are soldiers and have extremely strong combat power, but the population base is very small, and every death is one less. This is one of the fatal weaknesses of the Golden Empire.

After that, he tried every means to wipe out all the remnants of Xuan Suju, including Xuan Yue.

The Qin Empire annexed and lost the Tang Empire in just a few years, which also made the empires on the mainland envious and jealous, and at the same time felt uneasy and vigilant. However, due to geographical and other reasons, the kings of the empires could only watch helplessly. With the rise of the Qin Empire.

King Chu Wangjiang of Zhou also felt strong anxiety and vigilance towards the rapidly rising Qin Empire. Being connected to the mighty Jin Empire had already made his head dizzy. Now, another neighbor has also become stronger. This trouble is enough What's worse, apart from ordering the border troops to step up their guard, he didn't dare to start a war with the Qin Empire rashly.

The situation in the mainland has undergone new changes. The kings of all empires are cautious and dare not speak lightly of war for a while, and the mainland has achieved a rare short-term peace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Qin Empire also took the time to digest the territory occupied by the former Tang State, and desperately recuperated in order to recover its vitality as soon as possible and accumulate war energy.

In addition to the army being responsible for guarding the border, maintaining order and training, etc., the issues of people's livelihood are completely left to the civilian officials, who are too busy, and these are not Li Wei's business.

During the recuperation period, a large number of spies were sent out, using various identities as a cover, sneaked into the Zhou Empire and hid, collected information, infiltrated cages, etc., and sent the information back to the country through various secret channels.

The focus of the secret currency war also quietly shifted to the Zhou Empire. The merchants of the Qin Empire quietly put a large amount of bad money into the market, bought a large amount of food and other materials, and then shipped them back to the country. Most of them were used for settlement. A small part of the consumption of the land occupied by the original Tang State was stored.

On the surface, the grain market in the Zhou Empire was booming, and the grain merchants and squires from aristocratic families all made a lot of money, and all of them were beaming with joy.

Chapter 429 Big Oolong

For many reasons such as strategy, Li Wei moved his hussar general's mansion to Yicheng. This is convenient, but all the wives and concubines are far away in Chang'an, so let's take them all. The young lady has an opinion, but she has no choice but to wrong them.

It's not that Wu You didn't think of a compromise, let Kong Rong and other girls take turns to live in Yicheng for a period of time, but in this way, it was hard to avoid, and Li Wei still rejected the offer.

Fortunately, with the company of Xiao Xiaoqinger Mingzhu, plus a little green, Li Wei's small life is also nourishing.

Baili Ruyi, who is in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, occasionally personally escorts various supplies to Yicheng. Naturally, he comes to tell Li Wei about the pain of lovesickness.

It's rare for people to come here from a long distance, Xiao Xiaoxiao and other women are very considerate, and gave her the time and space to be alone with her husband.

The family members of confidant counselors like Wu Youtian Ce Wenzishan also stayed in Chang'an, and they naturally found one or two young and beautiful concubines to serve them, and they lived a happy and prosperous life.

During the recuperation period of the empire, except for some secret deployments against the Zhou Empire, everyone was basically quite leisurely. Li Wei was the most leisurely. They can only strengthen the guards to ensure the safety of the husband, but they have no choice. Whoever makes their husband can't stand loneliness all the time, no one can hold him back.

Li Wei's so-called understanding of people's sentiments is mostly about hooking up with noble ladies and molesting young ladies from good families. If he is lucky, a memorable affair can still happen.

Of course, he would occasionally take a walk in the countryside to have a look, and when he encountered bullies who bullied the common people, he would still deal with them severely.

On this day, Li Wei galloped on a whim. His riding skills could not be used on the battlefield at all, but he was still able to run for fun. He never imagined that he would run to Luohe Town, which is more than 50 miles south of Yicheng. .

The most important and fastest means of transportation in this era is horses. Galloping a horse is as exciting as driving a luxury car in later generations. However, the side effects are very serious. The skin on the inner thighs is worn out, and the walking posture becomes an outward appearance. Bow-legged gait.

On the spur of the moment, it turned out to be extremely painful. Li Wei went to Luohe Market Town to have a meal and rest with the support of Xiaoliuzi. He planned to buy a carriage on the way back. He didn't dare to ride a horse now.

Luohe market town was ravaged by war and its population dropped sharply. However, after the Great Qin ruled, the market town's prosperity is gradually recovering.

Li Wei walked all the way into the market town, but he didn't see a single beggar, which meant that the lives of ordinary people were getting better.

Although it was still early, if he traveled in a carriage, he would not be able to return to Yicheng before dark, so Li Wei simply stayed overnight in the market town.

Li Wei was used to enjoying it. Of course, he lived in the best Fulai Inn in the market town. There were not many guards accompanying him, about ten people, and five rooms were enough.

However, these were only the personal guards who accompanied them on the surface, and there were more than 30 special guards who accompanied them secretly.

Such a good business, the owner of Fulai Inn is so happy that he can't close his mouth. What a good day today?

Li Wei took a comfortable soak in the hot bath, and then enjoyed delicious food in his room. The chef of Fulai Inn is not bad at cooking.

After drinking and eating, Li Wei, who had been riding wildly for most of the day, felt a little sleepy, so he canceled his plan to go shopping in the brothel, lying on the couch and thinking about it, he fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long he slept, but he probably drank too much tea before going to bed. He got up and booed, because he didn't let Xiao Xiaoxiao and other girls accompany him, so all the servings fell on Xiaoliuzi.

After finishing the matter, Li Wei was about to continue whining, when he heard something faintly in his ears, and couldn't help asking, "What sound?"

"Young master, it seems to be the voice of doing that kind of thing..."

Xiao Liuzi grumbled, he is a great master of martial arts who rarely meets opponents in this world, his eyesight and hearing are different from ordinary people, and he heard it clearly a long time ago, the unbearable strange sound came from the inner house, it is probably the owner of Fulai Inn Zhenghe The proprietress was working, but the commotion was so loud that even the neighbors could hear it clearly.

So that's the case... Li Wei lay down yawning, and continued to whine, but this time, he couldn't fall asleep no matter how close his eyes were, and there was always that warming sound in his ears.

Hey, the sound seems a bit wrong.

Li Wei couldn't help getting up, he had been through battles for a long time, what noise hadn't he heard?

The strange sound waves coming from the distance seemed to be the strange sound made by people's mouths being stuffed because of desperate struggle.

There must be a problem!Li Wei's chivalrous value suddenly skyrocketed. He dressed in a hurry, but he gave Xiao Liu a big jump. He hurriedly advised, young master, you are a dignified person, and you should not take risks easily. Let the guards go and have a look first. .

"My young master is a gentleman, and a gentleman does not erect dangerous walls."

Li Wei chuckled, at this level, fools would risk their lives, and of course the guards were in charge of charge.

In fact, not only were all the guards and special guests not accepted at night, but all the guests in the hotel were woken up by that strange noise. Some guests were so sleepy that they covered their ears and continued to whine, curse.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Li Wei went downstairs and rushed towards the inner house from the back door of the inn. Except for the light on in the big room where the strange sound came out, there seemed to be no one in the inner house.

A group of guards surrounded the big room lightly, and then kicked the door under Li Wei's signal.

With a bang, the door was kicked open by the guards, and a group of guards rushed in with gleaming weapons.

"The good man spares his life... The good man spares his life... The little one gives money... Gives money..."

In the inner room, the naked innkeeper was stunned for a long time before realizing it. He shivered tremblingly, knelt down with a bang, and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.

On the large carved bed, a beautiful young woman's jade body lay horizontally, her limbs were fixed by red silk and tied into a big character, her mouth was blocked by a red cloth, and she could only make muffled noises. This is also the reason why Li Wei and others The strange noise heard.

The guards who rushed into the room all stared at the bed desperately, and then swallowed desperately. Someone restrained the acupuncture point of the innkeeper who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and then searched around. After confirming that it was safe, he notified Li Wei outside the room.

Li Wei Shiran walked in, seeing such a situation, his eyes widened and his expression was extremely strange.

The young woman's appearance and figure are all top choices, mainly because she is restrained by the red silk, twisting and struggling desperately, giving people an extremely strong visual impact, and instinctively giving birth to evil thoughts.

"Don't be afraid, little lady, Xiaosheng is here to save you."

It took Li Wei a long while to react. He walked to the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the silk quilt at the corner of the bed, covering the white body.

"Don't worry, little lady, Ben...Xiaosheng will make decisions for you."

"Um..."

The glamorous young woman struggled desperately, as if she wanted to say something, the expression on her pretty face was extremely weird.

"Oh, Xiaosheng forgot... sorry sorry..."

Li Wei patted his forehead and reached out to take out the cloth ball from the young woman's mouth.
