Seeing Xiong Wuliang's confused look, Qu Yuan scratched his head helplessly and straightened out his remaining gray hair.
"The Lord doesn't know something - in the past few months since you left, a large number of Qin spies have been captured in the fiefdom!"
"A rough calculation shows that the militiamen combined with the enthusiastic masses to report, and at least more than two hundred Qin spies were caught!"
"What on earth is going on!?" Qu Yuan's expression was very broken.
Xiong Wuliang was dumbfounded.
After walking from the fief for three or four months, he captured more than two hundred Qin spies?
Doing the math, we can catch an average of two or three a day!
What's going on? Is there a bug?
Qu Yuan continued: "These Qin spies are all highly skilled - if the militiamen were not equipped with hand-held repeating crossbows, they would have suffered considerable casualties in the process of arresting them."
"Qu Mou was also interrogated - most of the spies were tight-lipped, but there were a few who couldn't bear the torture and confessed."
"They keep saying that they want to invite you to become the prime minister of Qin?" Qu Yuan's eyes widened, and there was great confusion in his small eyes.
Xiong Wuliang's eyes darkened and he touched his forehead with his hand.
Blanch! The door is coming!
This is a drunken mistake! Back in Xianyang, I made a couple of boasts with Huang Xie while drunk, and was remembered by King Qin Yingji until now!
This Ying Ji is really evil!
But...then again.
Xiong Wuliang clearly remembered that he had already passed the blame to Mi Fei, right?
Why is the damn King of Qin still coming to trouble me, Xiong Wuliang?
"How to deal with the captured Qin secret agents?" Xiong Wuliang asked.
Qu Yuan spread his hands and said, "Of course he will be sent to a labor camp."
"All of these Qin spies are in good physical condition."
"One digger can hold three of them!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded in approval.
In the industrial park, most worker positions are technical jobs, but there are also some coolie jobs.
The rangers who made trouble in the fiefdom, the craftsmen arrested by the militia, and the unruly people who expressed dissatisfaction with Xiong Wuliang... were all sent to work as coolies.
Quite reasonable, right?
Qu Yuan changed the topic and showed an expression of embarrassment: "Your Majesty... the militiamen captured a rather special Qin State spy a few days ago... Qu Yuan doesn't know how to deal with it, so I ask your Majesty to decide for himself."
…
Princess Ying Zhuo of Qin was locked up in an underground cell. Two Quyang sergeants at the door, holding daggers in their hands, stared nervously at the 'female craftsman'.
It is said that this guy is so powerful in martial arts that she almost ran away despite being surrounded by more than 30 militiamen.
Ying Zhuo was furious!
As a princess of the Great Qin Kingdom, when had she ever suffered so much?
At the beginning, King Ying Ji of Qin was thirsty for talents and sent more than two hundred spies from the Qin Palace successively. All of them were veterans with high skills and many years of experience.
The results are surprisingly similar——
As long as you enter the boundaries of Quyang County, there will be no trace of it!
The people of Yingji were all stupid.
It is said that in the huge Qin State, there are only a hundred or so secret agents who can be regarded as the confidants of King Qin Ying Ji - the rest are all Empress Dowager Xuan's.
As a result, everything was lost in the small Quyang County.
One can imagine how irritable Ying Ji is!
In Ying Ji's eyes, the little character "Quyang" on this map is now like a man-eating demon, opening its abyss-like mouth and sweeping away all the capable warriors under his command...
After hesitating for a long time, Ying Ji called his sister Ying Zhuo and asked the latter to come to Quyang County in person to find out the truth, find Xiong Wuliang, and find out how the previous work disappeared.
Ying Ji repeatedly emphasized the dangers of this trip.
But Ying Zhuo was very excited and agreed immediately.
In all her life, she has never been out of Xianyang. Now she can not only go out of Xianyang, but also go abroad on official business... Of course she is very positive!
Ying Ji and Ying Zhuo agreed that since Ying Zhuo is a woman, she will not arouse suspicion and attention...
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the territory of Quyang County, he was chased by a large group of Chu people with weapons!
Ying Zhuo was paralyzed and resisted desperately, but he was still outnumbered. He was carried away by a group of cheerful and unruly people to receive the reward. He watched helplessly as the stupid people received a hundred iron coins from the government and then saw him imprisoned. into the cell.
I’m so angry! I’m so angry!
I, the majestic Princess of Da Qin, was sold for one hundred iron coins (equivalent to one gold)?
Damn it!
The sword inlaid with Lantian jade I carry is worth ten thousand dollars!
However, although this trip to Quyang was short, it brought a considerable shock to Ying Zhuo.
Before that, Ying Ji had always admired Xiong Wuliang, who he missed, and sighed with regret... To be honest, Ying Zhuo had always been a little disapproving - Xiong Wuliang was only ten years old, even if he was really talented, how big could he be? Talent?
Looking at Brother Wang's posture, it feels like Duke Xiao praised Shang Yang back then.
What nonsense.
As a result, after coming to Quyang County this time, what he saw and heard completely changed Ying Zhuo's opinion - indeed, as Brother Wang said, this person is a great talent!
Look at the wide road that is straight, smooth and made of special material.
Look at the uniform and luxurious roadside landscape trees.
There are also clear water canals, rotating waterwheels, neat and spacious farmhouses with the same style...
Look at the flat farmland and the size of the ears of rice hanging in the field, Ying Zhuo has never even thought about it!
Look at those farmers, who love and praise the Lord Xiong Wuliang from the bottom of their hearts - while doing farm work, they also sing loudly about "The Lord's kindness will never be finished in a lifetime"...
There was an endless stream of business travelers on the road, including many Hu merchants from far away in the grasslands. These merchants who came from afar drove long caravans full of valuable goods.
After Ying Zhuo inquired, he learned that the exquisite Chu porcelain and Chu brocade that had been circulated among the Qin nobles for a long time, including the "Chu land white paper" purchased and used in large quantities by the Qin government...
They are all specialties of Quyang County!
Ying Zhuo was dumbfounded - for such a prince who could manage his fiefdom to be so prosperous, you said he had no talent?
I was so blind back then!
This person is a genius!
No wonder that when Xiong Wuliang was in Xianyang, he was very critical of Shang Yang's Qin laws, and seemed to be contemptuous - you see, the people under Xiong Wuliang's rule showed a completely different spiritual outlook from the Qin people.
The same hard work in plowing the fields, the same eagerness to fight...but——
If the people of Qin are depressed and heavy... then the people of Chu under Xiong Wuliang's rule are light and high-spirited.
Ying Zhuo didn't understand, but was shocked.
No matter what the price, this person must be used by our Great Qin! Brother Wang is right - with Xiong Wuliang in hand, he is better than a hundred thousand soldiers!
Just when Ying Zhuo secretly made up his mind, the sound of messy footsteps came from far outside the cell door.
Ying Zhuo raised his head and listened.
I could only hear the soldier Qu Yang who was guarding the door respectfully greeting him: "Greetings to the Lord——"
Ying Zhuo is in high spirits!
Xiong Wuliang is here!
The cell door outside opened with a creak - Xiong Wuliang, who had been longing for and searching for Yingji in Xianyang, finally appeared on the other side of the wooden railing with his eyebrows tightly knitted -
