Canglong Qisu indeed has a fatal attraction for the Qin State. In other words, there is almost no one in the world who is not interested in Canglong Qisu.
However, the power of this incomplete version of Canglong Qisu in front of him is of no use to the crushing war situation between Qin and South Korea. It just delays their demise for a while longer.
Zhang Ji did not ask Han Fei in depth about the secret of Canglong Qisu, and he did not know whether Han Fei did not want Honglian to get involved in the shocking secret of Canglong Qisu, or whether he could not bear to see his sister sitting on another man's lap. The scene of dog abuse with that man feeding each other in front of her, even if that man is her brother-in-law!
Resisting the urge to draw the Nilin Sword, Han Fei returned to his tent with the wine bottle.
After Han Fei left, Hong Lian couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her smile was as bright as a flower, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, moistening her red eye shadow.
"Look, my ninth brother was so angry with you that he just left with the wine bottle."
Honglian took out a silk scarf, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and beat Zhang Ji's chest with her other hand.
At first, Honglian was somewhat protesting about Zhang Ji suddenly picking her up and sitting on his lap while he was eating. After all, the younger sister will always be the same younger sister in front of the elder brother. How could she show such shy behavior between husband and wife? In front of his brother?
But after Honglian heard the four words "Canglong Qisu", she somewhat understood Zhang Ji's thoughts.
She had heard these four words more than once in Zilanxuan, but every time the Quicksand Four noticed her arrival, they would stop discussing "Canglong Qisu" and switch to to other topics.
Even the original Hong Lian was kind and simple, not stupid. After experiencing a kidnapping by the King of Hundred Poisons, Hong Lian completely abandoned her past innocence.
Of course she could see that Zhang Ji wanted to use this humiliating behavior to shut up his ninth brother. Of course, he also had the bad taste of deliberately bullying the dog in front of Han Fei.
"Then I didn't see you resisting." Zhang Ji held Hong Lian's waist and pinched Hong Lian's soft cheeks that still had some baby fat with his other hand, "It's obvious that you also want to see your ninth brother. He looked unhappy." 1
Hong Lian arched her Qiong nose and hummed softly without saying a word.
Yes, Honglian decisively chose to cooperate with Zhang Ji after seeing Zhang Ji's double thoughts!
Well, it’s definitely not the little cotton-padded jacket that’s leaking air, it’s just the husband’s job!
"However, by doing this, are you bullying my ninth brother?" Honglian Liu frowned slightly, remembering another topic that Zhang Ji and Han Fei had discussed before Canglong Qisu.
Zhang Ji coughed lightly, and what Hong Lian was talking about was naturally not the affair he had with Hong Lian in front of Han Fei, but the accusations made by the nobles and people in the captured Korean city against Qijuetang and Jiuyihui, as well as Xinzheng A dispute broke out in the city between the nobles, Qijuetang and Jiuyihui.
All of this naturally involves the participation of the net.
Although after Wei Zhuang took over Xinzheng, he used Qijuetang's understanding of Xinzheng City to block all the hidden entrances and exits of Xinzheng City. This led to Mo Ya, Bai Feng and other killers who had snagged the Korean branch in Xinzheng City, and Qin Qin outside the city. Military communication is difficult, but contact is not completely severed.
It's just that their connection is through Mo Crow's crow or a few white sparrows controlled by Bai Feng. Wei Zhuang is not a person who knows nothing. If he notices the frequent appearance of those crows or white sparrows, he will definitely become suspicious.
Forget about crows. After all, a war has broken out here. It is not uncommon for crows to eat the remains of the dead. However, the murderous intent and blood spurting near Xinzheng City have made even some jackals, tigers and leopards outside the city stay away. Dare to get close, let alone a white sparrow?
In fact, even ordinary crows may not dare to forage for food with such fierce murderous intent, so this method of contact cannot be used multiple times. Using it almost once will increase the risk of exposure.
Zhang Ji's latest contact with Mo Ya was to activate the secrets Luo Wang had planted among the nobles, Qijuetang, and Jiuyihui in Xinzheng City, causing them to fight among themselves.
The first is to bring down the already rotten atmosphere of Qijuetang and Jiuyihui. Qijuetang and Jiuyihui’s bullying of the people is not a frame-up, but has solid evidence. Public resentment has long been spread, and the trap only makes Qijuetang and Jiuyihui The secret agents within the gang expanded the targets of these gang blackmails and tooth-beating sacrifices from ordinary people to nobles, raped and molested the female family members of the nobles, and demanded protection fees. This was all instigated intentionally or unintentionally by the secret agents in the net.
The gang members of Qijuetang and Jiuyihui's branches in the prosperous area of Dongcheng ate meat, and the gang members of several other branches were naturally jealous.
After all, how many people do ordinary people have?
The merchants also fled Xinzheng early. After all, the officials were officials and it was difficult to attack openly, and the nobles were the rich.
Moreover, the nobles they bullied only had high status. Many of them no longer held official positions in Korea, so they naturally did not have to worry about the consequences when exploiting them.
As for the private soldiers of the nobles?
There are more people than Qijuetang and Jiuyihui?
There are many veterans in Qijuetang and Jiuyihui who have fought on the battlefield. Tang Qi, the leader of Qijuetang, was a veteran who had to quit the army after being suppressed by his superiors.
At first, these gangs only targeted nobles without official status, but later they got out of hand.
This is the greed in people's hearts. It is like rolling rocks on a high mountain. Once it starts, it can never be stopped. Even the masters of Qijuetang and Jiuyihui are unable to curb the behavior of their subordinates, so that both sides broke out. large-scale bloody conflict.
As for the other Korean cities captured by the Qin army, Luowang also planted secrets among the nobles, three elders and common people to encourage others to accuse Han Fei, the former Korean commander, of the crimes of Qijuetang and Jiuyihui.
Of course, these gangs also instigated the plundering of the nobles and the three elders.
As for the confiscated looted money, all of it will naturally be confiscated!
Most of the nobles and three elders who were robbed by Qijuetang and Jiuyihui outside Xinzheng City. The nobles basically wanted to kill the whole family, while the three elders wanted to kill the whole family. Their main goal was to leave no one alive. .
Everyone is dead, what do you who came to accuse us want to do to return the stolen money? Recover money for the dead?
Zhang Ji's plans naturally did not avoid Hong Lian. Hong Lian even sat on Zhang Ji's lap for many of the warrants, helping Zhang Ji grind them while watching Zhang Ji write them, and even provided Zhang Ji with A list of several nobles who have always been involved in lawlessness.
Zhang Ji did all this not just to capture Xinzheng City and win over the people, but more to annihilate these nobles.
Why did the Qin State fall apart instantly after Ying Zheng died?
Although it was due to Hu Hai's incompetence and Zhao Gao's troubles, it was an unprecedentedly large empire built on the rubble of the old era, with brave old Qin people, and it should not have perished so quickly.
In the final analysis, the reason for Qin's demise was the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms.
Although the idea of great unification in this era was not popularized, and not many people even recognized it, which resulted in countries being like people from a foreign country in later generations. They did not recognize people from other countries as descendants of Yan and Huang, and even some This is true between places, between cities, between villages, and even between villages.
But the demands of the people are actually very simple, just having enough to eat. It would be even better if I could save some more money and marry a wife.
In this era when the literacy rate is so low that almost all people are illiterate, they have just ended the eight hundred years of conflict. How can they say that "a sparrow knows the ambition of a swan"? How can they know that the Chu people love the prince Fusu and the Chu general Xiang Yan? How can you think of using their name to raise an army, but how can you imagine Xue Huyin shouting at night, "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng"?
The foundation of the anti-Qin forces was the people in the hometown of the Six Kingdoms, but in the final analysis it was the instigation of the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms.
The Qin State lacked literati who could govern the place. Many scholars from the Six Kingdoms were appointed in the old places of the Six Kingdoms, which apparently stabilized the place, but also hid disasters.
The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who suffered losses after the unification of Qin were not reconciled to the status quo, and the best way to restore their former glory was to restore the rule of their homeland. The old nobles of the Six Kingdoms were even more powerful than the clans of the Six Kingdoms. Active anti-Qin elements.
Then there are the three elders of the place. Even if Qin had the ability to replace all the officials from the six kingdoms' hometown with Qin's scholars, it would be impossible to replace the three elders.
The three elders are all respected old men in the local area, and the collusion between the officials, the three elders and the old nobles of the six countries can cause almost earth-shaking harm.
Qin's laws are strict, but they are also humane. However, just like the saying "imperial power does not go to the countryside", when Qin's laws reached the local level, the right to interpret them was first in the hands of local officials, but their interpretation targets were only the three local elders. Lao explained to the people.
In an era when the literacy rate of the people was low, it was almost impossible to expect them to understand the Qin characters while understanding the abolished old characters. Therefore, the power to interpret the law fell into the hands of the three elders.
The three elders said that the Qin State would charge 80% of the tax, which is 80% of the tax. The three elders said that the Qin State was cruel and unkind, and the Qin State was cruel and unkind.
Otherwise, Chen Sheng would not have been able to deceive his fellow garrison soldiers by saying, "If you fail to meet the deadline, you will be killed."
"Qin Law·Corvee Law": "If you miss three days and five days, you will be punished; if six days are ten days old, you will be paid one shield; if ten days are over, you will be paid one armor."
It is impossible that the general who supervised them to Yuyang several times did not reserve time in their travel plans for possible delays caused by natural disasters. Even if he did not, the one who supervised and led them to Yuyang would be punished. Wei, not Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and the garrison soldiers below.
Moreover, their destination was the Yuyang (BJ Miyun) border. It was more than two thousand miles from Daze Township (Hubei Qi County) to Yuyang. Why did Chen Sheng think that a heavy rain would make them miss their date?
What is a peasant uprising?
It's just a trick played by the old aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms.
Therefore, Zhang Ji activated the hidden secrets buried in Qijuetang and Jiuyihui, provoking disputes with the nobles in Xinzheng City, forcing Wei Zhuang to fight against the Jianghu gangs and nobles who may not be of the same mind. choice.
No matter what Wei Zhuang chooses, civil strife in Xinzheng is inevitable, and the power in Xinzheng city will be lost.
As long as Wei Zhuang doesn't act stupidly, he will try his best to ensure that Qi Juetang and Jiuyihui are the two men who can control Xinzheng City for Wei Zhuang.
And trying to protect Qijuetang and Jiuyihui will inevitably make the nobles alienate.
During the war, leaving a group of disloyal people with money, food, and private soldiers in the city, isn't this digging a hole for yourself?
Therefore, while Wei Zhuang chose to protect Qi Juetang and Jiuyihui, he must eliminate these aristocratic forces.
Wei Zhuang's move was to eliminate those old nobles on behalf of Zhang Ji.
As for the old nobles who were not wiped out and fled Xinzheng to join the Qin State, they naturally regarded the Qin army as a just and awe-inspiring liberator to welcome the king's army. Although the anti-Qin elements cannot be completely eliminated, they can at least be eliminated. part.
As for Wei Zhuang, who faced such a dilemma, he could naturally choose to give up Xinzheng.
But if Wei Zhuang really fled and came to a city where a noble or a doctor's fiefdom was located to defend, that would be a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
At that time, those nobles and officials would hold high the flag of righteousness and show humiliation just to relax Wei Zhuang's vigilance. Then they would righteously kill Wei Zhuang, the treacherous minister who started the rebellion. Not only would they be able to leave a clean name, but they would also get rewards from the Qin State. , why not do it, is it not better than waiting for death with Wei Zhuang, a traitor with a shady reputation?
Zhang Ji, who explained the reason to Hong Lian, suddenly revealed a shady smile: "I also want to hear Hong Lian call me brother twice."
Honglian looked at Zhang Ji blankly, but Zhang Ji said sophistry: "Brother Qing is also a brother, isn't he?"
Hong Lian deliberately wanted to glance at Zhang Ji, but suddenly thought of something. She looked at Zhang Ji and showed a knowing smile as cunning as a fox. Then she looked at the already darkening sky and leaned in completely. In Zhang Ji's arms, close to Zhang Ji's ear, the lilac brushed across the ear, leaving a wisp of fragrance and smoothness, his breath was like orchid, and his voice was soft and charming: "Brother~"
"Brother, it's getting late. Do you want your sister to help you undress and make a bed for him?"
Zhang Ji was a little moved when he met Honglian's charming silky eyes, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is obvious that Guren was such an innocent young and energetic girl back then, but now she has learned such enchanting ways to seduce people.
Alas, as an older brother, he should naturally criticize his sister's frivolous behavior.
oh! He is just a lover!
Zhang Ji silently waved his sleeves, and a dark inner force pulled down the curtain of the handsome tent. Amid Hong Lian's exclamation, Zhang Ji picked up Hong Lian and walked to the bed.
"Is my brother going to do something bad to my sister again?"
Hong Lian blinked her beautiful eyes. At first glance, she looked like a younger sister who was bullied by her "brother", but the slender legs that quietly hooked Zhang Ji's waist, and the pair of pale pink gauze socks that fit around Zhang Ji's waist The rustling sound made when the fabric of her clothes rubbed against each other exposed the heart of Honglian, the "good sister", who was also making waves at this moment.
