Half a month later, Zhao Tuo, the king of South Vietnam, suddenly received news that an army of about ten thousand people suddenly appeared on the Five Ridges.
Zhao Tuo's heart was filled with a sense of crisis regarding the Han Dynasty's sudden increase in garrison deployment.
The terrain of Wuling was dangerous. In order to defend against the Han Dynasty, Zhao Tuo also accumulated heavy troops in the direction of Wuling.
The Han Dynasty's sudden increase in garrison immediately made the situation in Wuling become delicate.
"What do you think, Prime Minister?"
Lu Jia did not express his position, and no one in the civil and military circles dared to speak.
This made Zhao Tuo feel very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
"Your Majesty, I think we should also increase the garrison to prevent the Han Dynasty from going south!"
Lu Jia's attitude is very clear. All his foundations are in the South Vietnam Kingdom. He is extremely powerful in the South Vietnam Kingdom, but if the South Vietnam Kingdom dies, then he will really be worthless.
Internally, they could compete for power, but when facing the behemoth of the Han Dynasty, his attitude actually coincided with Zhao Tuo's.
It is in their interests to speak unanimously to the outside world!
"I believe that what the Prime Minister said is reasonable, and we should immediately deploy more troops to prevent unexpected events!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Jia finished speaking, the ministers below all rushed to second their opinions.
Although the expression on Zhao Tuo's face was calm, he was already a little more fearful in his heart.
"In that case, let's do it according to the wishes of the Prime Minister!"
After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he walked away directly, and the remaining ministers looked at each other in shock.
"Didn't Your Majesty already say it? Why don't you hurry up and do it!"
Lu Jia sneered, then turned and left.
The remaining ministers were completely dumbfounded, but they quickly came to their senses.
If they offend the king, the most they can do is not serve as officials, but if they offend Lu Jia, the lives of the whole family may not be saved.
They can still tell which end is heavier and which is lighter.
What happened in the court soon spread to the market, and the court was about to increase its troops again, which made the people in Panyu City a little worried.
Especially those small businesses, it is already difficult to make a living at this time. If there is a war, I am afraid that each of them will be unsustainable.
"Dad, look like that man has fainted!"
Niu Er, who was selling noodles and fish with his father, suddenly saw a middle-aged man walking and lying on the ground.
"Go over and take a look. Life is not easy these days. If you can help, please help!"
Although the father and son were not living well, the always kind-hearted Niu Lao Daddy hurriedly said to Niu Er.
"Good!"
Niu Er didn't dare to delay and hurried forward to help the man up.
"Wake up, wake up!"
After checking the man's breathing to make sure he was still breathing, Niu Er quickly patted the man's face.
"let me!"
Seeing Niu Er playing with it for a long time, but the man didn't react at all, Niu Lao Daddy quickly pushed him away, stretched out his hand and pinched the man's philtrum.
"Cough-cough-cough-"
Sure enough, this hand is really useful.
It didn't take long for the man to open his eyes.
"Go get a bowl of noodles and fish!"
Looking at the man's chapped lips and tattered clothes, the kind-hearted Mr. Niu hurriedly said.
"good!"
Niu Er didn't say much. He quickly returned to his stall and fished out a bowl of noodle fish from the bucket.
After sprinkling some seasoning on it, he hurriedly handed it to Mr. Niu.
"Eat quickly!"
Father Niu said to the man with a smile.
"thanks, thanks!"
The man didn't care to say anything, picked up the big bowl and ate quickly.
He actually swallowed a bowl of fish noodles in one go.
"What a sin!"
Seeing the man eating, Father Niu felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Recently, there have been an increase in beggars in Panyu City.
After all, it was all due to hype, but ordinary people like them couldn't control this kind of thing.
"It's not that I don't want to part with a bowl of noodles and fish. It's just that from the look of you, you probably haven't eaten for a few days. If you eat again, I'm afraid I'll be starved to death. If you really haven't eaten, come back here and wait for me this evening. !”
Seeing that the man had regained some strength, Father Niu didn't care about anything else and asked his son to help him to the side of the big tree, and then walked back to his stall silently.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a righteous man as my father-in-law in this market. I'll give this to you and your son as a souvenir!"
As soon as he returned to his stall, he saw a scribe in white floating next to him.
Before Father Niu realized what was going on, the man had already dropped something like a handkerchief and turned around to leave.
"This young master, this young master!"
In any case, no reward for no merit.
Father Niu hurriedly caught up with him and wanted to return the things to him, but the man walked so fast that he had already disappeared after turning a few turns...
"That's really weird. Why did he give me this thing for nothing?"
Back at his stall, Mr. Niu was still confused. He really didn't understand what the man was doing by giving him a handkerchief.
"Dad, why does this place painted above look so familiar to me?"
Niu Lao Daddy didn't realize what was going on, but Niu Er found that something was not right.
"Looks familiar? Why didn't I notice it?"
Anyway, there were no customers at the stall, and Mr. Niu looked at the things in his hands with a puzzled look.
"Look here, isn't this Shizuiyan? What does the box painted here mean?"
The more Niu Er looked at it, the more strange he felt.
"What does the box mean? What? Could it be a treasure map?"
Several vendors at the stall next to him burst out laughing. The behavior of the father and son now seemed extremely ridiculous to them.
"Okay! Okay! Let's set up the stall honestly. Don't think about what's available and what's not available. If there really was a treasure, that person would have dug it up himself!"
Seeing the vendors next door laughing, Father Niu also sighed and went about his business.
After all, Niu Er was still young. Although he knew deep down that a treasure map was unlikely, he still wanted to take a look.
"Dad, I'm going out for a while and I'll be back in a minute!"
After Niu Er finished speaking, he didn't say much. He picked up the handkerchief and ran away.
"Is this idiot really going to hunt for treasure? Dad Niu, when your son finds the treasure, you will have a good life! Hahahaha!"
Several vendors nearby suddenly started booing again.
"Okay, okay, I'm not in shape all day long!"
Father Niu let out a long sigh, but did not say anything more. Instead, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. If there really was nothing, then why would that person leave this thing behind?
