Emperor Qin

The handsome and heroic young man under him acted as if nothing had happened, he just pursed his lips slightly, and said decisively: "Mie Chu."

Yan Jiang let go of his hand in displeasure, dragged him away, and found a wilderness outside the city that was suitable for killing and throwing corpses. Then he looked at him coldly and motioned him to explain quickly.

When Li Xin met last time, he was so thin that he was almost out of shape, but his facial features became deeper and deeper, only the unruliness between his brows remained the same.

This originally wanton and arrogant young man led an army of 20, and withstood the defeat of the Qin army that had not been seen in decades, and almost implicated the family. Great kalpa, with his courage and aptitude, he may not be able to Nirvana.

"This time, the king allowed me to take the crime and make meritorious service," Li Xin said calmly, "I went south with General Wang Jian to attack Chu. In the past month, the general has been building camps and fortifications. I have nothing to do, so I took the post of scout. Come to find out the news."

"Have all the [-] soldiers under your command died? I want you to come to find out the news." Yan Jiang felt ridiculous, and almost wanted to punch his stomach to see if there was any courage in him. "Does General Wang Jian know?" ?”

"He knows it himself," Li Xin glanced at him, and then said in a low voice, "He said that since all the ministers have gone to the state of Chu, the captain may not be able to go."

What a talkative old man, Yan Jiang understood in an instant that the old fox Wang Jian was just watching him strolling around in Chu State, but he was afraid of suffocating Li Xin, so he simply made trouble and hinted that he came to find him.

"Then I don't know what news Li Duwei heard?" Yan Jiang asked with a sneer.

Li Xin's self-confidence finally returned to his eyebrows, and he said to his elder brother: "The king of Chu regrets that he is still young, and all major events in Chu are determined by his uncle Li Yuan. Xiang Yan is in charge, but each fights for himself, as long as we drive a wedge between Xiang Yan and the King of Chu like Li Mu did, we will definitely gain something."

"Your news is outdated," Yan Jiang snorted. "After Li Mu's incident, the whole world laughed at Zhao Guo for destroying the Great Wall. You really think everyone else is stupid? Li Yuan is the uncle of the King of Chu, honor and disgrace, how is that possible?" Destroy Zhao for Qin like Guo Kai did."

Li Xin thought for a while, and said seriously: "I can't do it, but Brother Jiang, you must be able to."

Yan Jiang shook his head: "General Wang Jian knows in his heart that he will be able to win, you and I don't want to make trouble."

Li Xin was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up: "It's okay, I'm here this time, and I'm going to visit the grain road of Chu State..."

He counted what he had seen and heard in Chu State one by one, and Yan Jiang knew that this major general had learned Chu language for the past six months just for the sake of shame. He was not going to act rashly, but just wanted to do better.

In the end, Yan Jiang planned to help him, "Do you want to know the news of the Chu army?"

Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said yes.

"Then follow me and help me." Yan Jiang said with some distaste, "The battle is imminent, you are a foreigner, don't ask around, lest you fall behind the Chu people and lose the face of Daqin."

The fire of hope was ignited again. After the defeat, Li Xin raised the corners of his mouth for the first time: "It's all up to the minister!"

……

So at night, when His Majesty flew quietly through the window door left by A Jiang, he saw that kid Li Xin was doing handicrafts with A Jiang! ?

There are many bamboos in Chu, Yan Jiang selected bamboos more than five years old, asked Li Xin to chop them into thin strips, polished them smooth, and placed them by the side of the table.

Ordinary bamboo sticks seem to show vigorous life in Yan Jiang's hands. The bamboo bones are fine and smooth, and the holes are thick. The skeleton of the umbrella is formed.

There have been umbrellas in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, it was made by Lu Ban's wife, but they are all big umbrellas that cannot be put away, also known as canopies, and they are all used by powerful people. Ordinary people can wear a bamboo hat, and they are considered rich.

The umbrella he made has only eight bones - it is convenient to punch holes in the wooden circle, and his craftsmanship would not be able to do it. Then he dipped two layers of white silk with isinglass and painted a wisteria flower. Two strokes are a hazy woman who cannot be seen clearly, and brushed with tung oil, it is a delicate oiled paper umbrella.

"What's the use of this thing?" Li Xin looked confused.

Yan Jiang smiled slightly, took the prepared umbrella, walked outside the door to prop it up, and said leisurely: "Knock."

A majesty suddenly landed on his shoulder, looked up at the umbrella with probing eyes, and his eyes fell on the back of the woman who was hazy about the appointment.

Yan Jiang stretched out his hand and flicked a bird's chest, smiled sourly, put away the umbrella, and fed the rats to His Majesty.

His Majesty ate it indifferently, it was not sour, and he just kept due vigilance.

To be honest, watching Ajiang Zha come back along the way was quite refreshing.

Li Xin thought for a while holding the umbrella, and finally understood: "This is, you want to send Chudi Fengjun as a gift?"

Yan Jiang nodded: "Chu people are so beautiful, is this thing beautiful?"

Just kidding, paper umbrellas are a must-have in the ancient style, and they are perfect for the misty and rainy days in the south. Seeing that it is about to enter the rainy season, it is impossible for the nobles in Chu to resist such poetic and picturesque things.

Li Xin was greatly admired, praised Brother Jiang again and again, then hesitated to speak, and hesitated for a few breaths.

Yan Jiangbai glanced at him, telling him to speak quickly.

Li Xin looked around, and after making sure he was safe, he whispered, "Brother Jiang, there are so many beauties in this world, why did you choose the king? Although he is talented, he is not a good man..."

Mao Touying, who was eating meat, slowly raised his head, his brows were so sharp that he almost nailed him to death.

But Li Xin didn't notice it, and continued to comfort him: "The harem is dangerous, and you have no heirs. If one day you are rejected by the king, how will you deal with yourself and fall in love with the king? Don't you see the past of Mi Zixia?"

Yan Jiang almost laughed out loud, grabbed Maotouying's paw and pulled it into his arms, and smiled while stroking the bird: "Well, what you said makes sense, I will definitely think about it later."

The owl was so angry that it was almost smoking, but Li Xin took the initiative to reach out his hand to touch the bird, and exclaimed without fear of death: "Look, even your bird is so excited, you must agree with me... ah!"

Yan Jiang let go of his hand, Ren Owl scratched three bloodstains on his hand, lest the bird take revenge on people.

When giving him the medicine again, he looked at the bird on one side, and explained with a smile: "The king is rich in the world, dominates the world, but his mind is delicate and broad, and he is majestic. I am attracted by his majesty and domineering. I can't help myself. I would like to be with him." Walking in the same world, watching thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. In this world, no one is better than him."

Mao Touying was blown away by the sudden confession, his eyes were shining for a moment, he walked over with a da-da, raised his head proudly, and handed a dried mouse to Yan Jiang's mouth.

Yan Jiang just wanted to take it with his hands, but His Majesty avoided it, raised his head displeased, and flapped his wings.

Yan Jiang immediately understood what it meant, and his scalp felt numb for a while, but he saw His Majesty's eyes became more gentle, and little stars almost appeared.

Ok!

Yan Jiang stretched out his head, took the jerky from the bird's beak with his mouth, and slowly chewed and swallowed the jerky rat meat under His Majesty's gentle eyes, mourning in his heart that this time the jerky seemed to be roasted without removing the hair. It's going to kill me.

Only Li Xin was at a loss.

Two days later, a young man about the same age as Li Xin came to the small courtyard they rented, handed over a name sticker, and came to see him.

Li Xincai was shocked when he saw the name: "Xiang Rong? The eldest son of Xiang Yan?"

"Who is your Excellency?" Xiang Rong's eyes wrinkled. This man has calluses on his palms, and he is just like a soldier who often uses weapons. His posture and momentum are all from the army.

"This is my long follower, Li Youcheng," Yan Jiang walked out of the back room with a smile, "The nephew of General Li Mu for three generations."

"So that's how it is." Xiang Rong's eyes instantly softened, "I have admired Li's name for a long time, but now I see her, she is indeed very heroic."

Sure enough, brother Jiang belongs to the royal family of the Zhao family, so he has the Li family by his side.

While Li Xin lamented that brother Jiang is so powerful, he can go directly to the upper echelons of any country he goes to, and at the same time humbly bowed his head and said: "I'm overwhelmed, a defeated general dare not speak bravely."

"Zhao Bai is not guilty of war," Xiang Rong said enthusiastically, "It's just the treacherous scheme of the Qin army outside, and Guo Kai's defeat of the country inside. If we meet General Li Mu on the battlefield, the Qin army will definitely be defeated. Look, Li Xin is the Ming Dynasty!" For example."

Yan Jiang turned to look at Li Xin.

Li Xin nodded heavily: "That's right, Li Xin underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, recklessly entered the enemy's rear without leaving a retreat, he deserved to be defeated."

Xiang Rong felt that he had found a confidant, and walked into the house with him shoulder to shoulder, talking about the battle between Qin and Chu years ago.

They talked about thirst. Li Xin is a general who has commanded 20 troops and traveled thousands of miles. Of course, he is more capable than Xiang Rong, who has no record.

After getting closer, Xiang Rong asked Yan Jiang about it, and wanted to ask for help to persuade the Qu family, but I don't know if the husband would like it.

After thinking for a few breaths, Yan Jiang nodded calmly: "If you can contribute to resisting the strong Qin, that's Jiang's wish."

Xiang Rong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Qu Shi recently said that he is ill and has not seen any outsiders. I wonder if you can think of a word and ask Qu Shi to see you?"

Yan Jiang also inquired about this in the past two days, and said: "Articles are made naturally, and you can get them by chance. It will be difficult to come up with new words in a while, but I have something, and I may be able to see it."

Then, he took out the paper umbrella.

Although Xiang Rong grew up in the army, he also grew up in Chu and was deeply influenced by aesthetics. Almost the moment he opened the umbrella, the vines bloomed, the colors were fresh and beautiful, and it was gentle like the spring breeze blowing across the river bank.

Immediately in his mind, the scene of his beloved wife holding an umbrella under the tree in the forest, looking back and smiling, was almost reluctant to return it to Yan Jiang.

"This thing is very beautiful. If it is delivered to Mrs. Qu, it will surely make her talk to Xiang. Please see it," Xiang Rong put down the paper umbrella and thanked with fists in his hands. "Thank you sir, Xiang Rong will go to do this first." I will thank you later!"

Yan Jiang just nodded, Xiang Rong has already left in a hurry with a new umbrella.

For a moment, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The case has been solved, and I finally know where Xiang Yu's reckless temper came from."

"Who is Xiang Yu?" Li Xin was at a loss, and frowned, "Brother, do you really want to help them?"

"Why don't you help?" Yan Jiang smiled slightly, and said quietly, "If you are not familiar with the folk customs and old systems of Chu, how can you control most of the country."

Chu State, once the largest country in the world, has a unique cultural origin compared to the Yellow River. If it weren't for the fact that Chu Cai Jin used Chu Cai Qin too much, there would be no such thing as Qin's unification of the six countries.

There is no way, who made him fall in love with someone, he didn't want him to be drowned in salted fish, and he didn't want to witness by himself, even though three families of Chu died, Qin must be Chu.

It is a pity that such a brilliant civilization died in the flames of war, so that future generations can only witness the beauty and brilliance in the cultural relics.

Li Xin said thoughtfully: "It's really not that the life just now was so beautiful, don't you want to refuse?"

Yan Jiang instinctively looked left and right, and was sure that His Majesty was not there during the day, so he leisurely picked up a bamboo branch left over from an umbrella: "Brother Xin, it's boring during the day, why don't you and I learn martial arts?"

I must break your leg today, and let you know what it means to speak out!
