Daqin: Selling elves at the beginning, Zulong begged me to supervise the country

"Out of town?"

In the inner courtyard of the county government office, the county magistrate sat in front of the desk, put down the bamboo slips in his hands, and looked at the government servant who had just stepped through the door.

Behind him stood the county magistrate and the county captain.

The yamen servant wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves and breathed heavily.

"The leading general has left the city, and there are still a few soldiers left in the city to buy supplies."

After speaking, he looked up at the county magistrate and saw that the magistrate did not speak.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke tentatively.

"How many of them do you want to send people to follow?"

"No need." The county magistrate waved his hand and signaled the yamen servant to go down, picked up the bamboo slips in his hand and looked through them one after another.

The yamen servant stood up and left. After taking two steps, he remembered something again and hesitated in his steps.

"Anything else?"

The county captain next to him noticed the action of the Yamen servant and asked in a deep voice.

"Sir, Orion Zhang Da was carried back. It seems that he was seriously injured. He happened to be bumped into by those generals."

"Meet you? Got it, please step back first."

After the yamen officer retired, the county lieutenant raised his eyes and glanced at the county magistrate's face.

"Then Wang Ben is a popular figure in front of the King of Qin and has been granted the title of Marquis. Why can't you tell me that you are sick?"

The county captain obviously did not agree with the county magistrate's approach. Those generals could dismiss several of them with just a word.

"It doesn't matter if I see you or not, so what if I don't see you? Have you forgotten your roots?"

"Forget that the Qin army was murderous and killed innocent people. At this time, you are still thinking about the black gauze hats on our heads."

"When the Qin army captures Baiyue, will we still have a way to survive?"

"Why should I go out and flatter the enemy?"

The county magistrate's tone was calm, as if he had already accepted the fact that his tribe had been massacred, but the magistrate still heard a mixture of anger and powerlessness.

It was as if an invisible rope was holding my throat, a feeling of suffocation filled my whole body, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

Although they belonged to the Chu State, they were later ruled by the Qin State.

But after all, they are all Yue people and come from the same lineage as the Xiou people. In addition, they are not far apart, so intermarriage is common.

After the Qin army attacked, they not only tortured and killed prisoners, but even ordinary women and children were not spared.

How come they are not disappointed?Why aren't you afraid?

"At that time, Wang Ben led the army to attack the Chu State, defeated the Chu army, and captured more than a dozen cities in the Chu State."

"But it never harmed the civilians. After the Chu State was destroyed, the surrendered Chu Army was also integrated into the Qin Army and was reused."

"This person is not a murderer. Since King Qin sent this person here, things may turn around."

Seeing the desperate look of the two, the county magistrate couldn't help but give advice.

When the county captain heard this, he was delighted.

Before he could speak, he was poured cold water on him again.

"Do you remember whose command the 50-strong army that led the southern expedition to Baiyue was originally under? And why was it replaced by the cruel Tu Sui?"

The county magistrate was about to speak, but in the end he sighed.

The 50-strong army that attacked Baiyue this time was originally an army led by the Wang family and his sons to attack Chu.

After defeating Chu, they had no intention of retreating, but continued to march south to attack Baiyue.

Before they could recover, news came out that the Wang family and his son had returned to Xianyang.

The military power was also taken over by Guowei Tu Sui.

The father and son of the Wang family conquered Handan, the capital of Zhao State, wiped out the three Jin areas for King Yingzheng of Qin, conquered Ji, the capital of Yan State, and wiped out Chu State.

He was the greatest contributor to King Qin's unification of the six kingdoms and the expansion of his territory.

With a large number of troops and great achievements, the Wang family and his son handed over the military power to avoid the emperor's suspicion, so how could they take over the army again.

I'm afraid there may be something else going on when I come south this time.

"For today's plan, we can only place our hope on the sudden appearance of strange beasts."

The county magistrate pondered for a moment and said without giving up.

"What do you mean? Conquer the strange beasts?"

"That's right, the beasts descended from the sky this time must be because God couldn't stand Tu Sui's killing spree and came to help me surpass others."

"I think both of you have seen the power of strange beasts. Since there are strange beasts in Xing'an County, there may be some in the mountains and forests of Xiou."

"But the beast is so vicious that we can't even get close."

The county captain couldn't help but retort, obviously without any hope, while the county magistrate next to him was deep in thought.

"We can't get close, but the tribesmen who have lived in the mountains for a long time might be able to."

Compared with the Qin people, they obviously have a natural advantage.

The more people are familiar with the terrain and can neutralize miasma poisonous insects, they can survive even if they hide in the mountains and among wild beasts.

They understand the habits of wild beasts better than the Qin people and know how to get along with them. It is only a matter of time before they conquer the strange beasts.

Yamen: I seem to have missed some key information.

Well...the strange beasts followed by the generals looked much more majestic than the big birds fighting for territory in the mountains.

If the newly promulgated laws are implemented in place, let them know about Ye Chen.

I will definitely put away my self-confidence.

By the way, I slapped myself twice, secretly cursing myself for being too arrogant.

Wang Ben and his party returned to the place where they were stationed. The soldiers had already set up tents, lit bonfires and set up stoves.

It’s not good to mention continuing on the road.

Although the decision has been made, there is still some hesitation.

Zhao Ruo saw this and spoke at the right time.

"The direction in which the birds suspected of evolving from Bobo appear is consistent with their destination."

"It doesn't mean it's just the same place."

"Even if it's just a place, it should be fine if Shi Lu and the others don't take the initiative to provoke them."

Well, that's right.

Even if they are provoked, it won't cost them one night, right?

Then Shi Lu shouldn't be so unlucky, right?

into the night.

Wang Ben returned to the tent with a lychee in his mouth, a bayberry in his mouth, and two bunches of grapes on the table.

They were all just purchased by my soldiers.

"Yes, the taste is comparable to tributes, the price is not high, and ordinary people can afford it. Shi Lu and the others must be living a good life during this period."

When I capture Baiyue in the future and take a few ladies to visit here, it will be a nourishing life!

Shiban Ridge.

On the mountainside, a dozen soldiers sat in a circle with their backs to each other. There was one person in the middle who was wearing regular clothes, which was different from the surrounding soldiers.

It was late at night, and the soldiers' eyes were all bloodshot, but they still managed to stay sleepy and stared at the grass around half a person's height with vigilance.

"Ah"

"Ah...ah sneeze"

The two sneezes were particularly abrupt among the chirping of various insects.

He even felt that the insects were disturbed by his sneezing, and their chirping paused for a few seconds before resuming.

Shi Lu quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would make any more noise.

Who the hell are you talking about him at this time!

Isn't this killing him?

Everyone held their breath, tensed their nerves, and looked around cautiously.

Two quarters of an hour passed. The grass beside him swayed slightly in the night wind, and the chirping of insects returned to regularity.

"It seems that those stupid birds were not disturbed." Shi Lu lowered his voice and murmured in a low voice.

The soldiers on the periphery also breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have been trapped here for a day and a night. If this continues, we will either die of starvation or starve to death. Everyone needs to think of a solution."

A burly soldier spoke.

"That is, a dignified Qin general was trapped and died in the mountains by two groups of stupid birds. If word spread, wouldn't he be laughed at?"

The soldiers beside him echoed casually. The more they spoke, the more they felt aggrieved, and their voices became louder involuntarily.

Everyone was so frightened that they quickly tightened their bodies and held their heads tightly.

There was another quarter of silence.

"It's better to starve to death than to be pecked to death by a stupid bird when you go out, and you'll be laughed at anyway."

"So let you think of something."

"Run!"

"Those silly birds haven't moved for so long and seem to have fallen asleep."

Everyone looks at each other, it works!

It's better than waiting to die here.

Everyone took off their boots, tied them around their waists, and tiptoed down the mountain.

step!

Two steps!

Three steps!

......

eleven!twelve!Thirteen!fourteen!Ten...No. 15 steps have not yet fallen, the leading soldier silently changed the steps that should have been forward in the air to step backwards.

Try to explain that it was a misunderstanding.

"Hey, kid, why don't you make a sound when you step back?"

The soldier behind him covered his nose, his face contorted.

He grimaced in pain, not noticing the faces of everyone or the sharp eyes that suddenly appeared in the grass not far ahead.

"Competing with carvings, competing with carvings——"
