Seeing that we have reached the border. ↙八↙八↙Read ↙, .※.o◇ When the border guards heard that the banished immortal had arrived, they were all excited and held a banquet.

Li Shui did not refuse and had a few drinks with the guards, and then gave them some fairy wine and some steamed buns in the name of Mr. Fu Yao. He also praised them for their outstanding achievements in guarding the border for Da Qin these days.

The guards were all moved to tears. Although the fairy wine is mellow and the steamed buns are delicious, these people abandon their homes and careers in the deserted borderland. What they hope most is the recognition of the imperial court.

Now Mr. Fu Yao's praise made these soldiers very excited, and they all saluted in the direction of Xianyang City.

Finally, Li Shui asked the border officers for 500 elite soldiers to serve as an escort team. The soldiers gave it happily and sent out one person to kill him.

This man's name is Cheng Li, he has a fiery temper, is loyal, powerful and unstoppable.

With him protecting him, Li Shui's safety would definitely not be a problem.

Li Shui led the Qin soldiers and alchemists out of the border in a mighty manner.

After leaving seclusion, a gust of cold wind blew, making Li Shui shiver. He said to his left and right: "Are you cold?"

The people next to me nodded and said, "A little bit."

Li Shui said: "I'm a little cold too. That's all. Let's get some armor and put it on to keep you warm."

The soldiers were a little puzzled: Can armor keep the body warm? When this thing is blown by the wind, it becomes cold and cold, getting colder and colder.

But the banished immortal insisted on wearing it, so they brought the armor over.

Li Shui was dressed neatly and felt much more at ease. He said to everyone: "Let's go."

On the way, Cheng Li asked Li Shui: "Why did the banished immortal ride a horse instead of a chariot? Who is in the chariot?"

Li Shui said: "The man in the carriage is an alchemist who discovered gold mines. This man has made great contributions, because I specially commended him for riding in the carriage."

Cheng Li said with emotion: "The rewards and punishments for banishing immortals are so clear."

The Qin soldiers behind were all excited: If they made meritorious deeds, could they sit in a carriage like this alchemist?

While everyone was thinking about it, suddenly a sharp arrow came through the air, shot through the carriage shed, and was nailed directly into the carriage.

Cheng Li shouted: "There are assassins."

Hundreds of Qin soldiers immediately surrounded Li Shui.

At the same time, the assassins also appeared. They are Huns. Each of these people rode horses, with scimitars on their waists and long bows on their backs. They were galloping towards them and shooting arrows at the same time.

Those sharp arrows were extremely accurate, and they all shot into the carriage.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...

The Huns had vaguely surrounded the carriage. At this time, they were a little confused, why did the Qin soldiers gather around instead of protecting this luxurious carriage? Don't they care about the life and death of the banished immortal?

Without any time to think about it, the Huns took out the rope and hooked the carriage. Several horses ran wildly around, and with a bang, the carriage was torn apart.

Inside, Uncle Xiang was wrapped in several layers of blankets and fell to the ground.

He wasn't dead yet. In fact, the first arrow was very accurate and hit his heart. But the huge medal on his chest saved his life.

After Xiang Bo was lucky enough to survive, he immediately wrapped himself in a blanket and lay on the ground shaking.

Now that he fell from the carriage, he was not injured. After all, the blanket was too thick. "Eight" eight "Reading" book, .2■⊥ Just heard people shouting horses neighing in my ears, and I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Li Shui looked at the Qin soldiers beside him: "Go and catch the thief."

Cheng Li hesitated and said: "Our accusation is to protect the banished immortal..."

Li Shui shouted: "The one surrounded by the Huns is my best friend Jing Bao. If he dies, I don't want to live alone."

When Uncle Xiang heard this, tears filled his eyes with excitement.

Cheng Li waved his hand: "Kill the thief."

He didn't send everyone out, for fear that the Hun assassins might have back-ups.

Hundreds of Qin soldiers rode fast horses and rushed towards the assassin.

The assassins were quickly dispersed.

Li Shui shouted: "Catch them alive."

Soon, two Huns were tied up. As for the others, they were all killed on the spot.

Seeing that the assassins were under control, Li Shui jumped off his horse, walked quickly to the blankets, and peeled off Xiang Bo.

Li Shui said apologetically: "Brother Jing, I wanted to make you feel more comfortable on the road, but I didn't expect that an assassin wanted to assassinate me. I almost asked you to die on my behalf. I feel so sorry."

Xiang Bo wiped away his tears and said: "There is no need to say anything in banishing the immortal. Jing understands in his heart. I will never forget the great kindness of banishing the immortal."

Li Shui said with a smile: "Brother Jing, are there any brothers and sisters in the family? Maybe they can be brought to Xianyang, and I can recommend them in front of His Majesty."

For a moment, Xiang Bo felt a little moved, but it was only for a moment.

He shook his head and said: "There is no one else. Those tribesmen have followed Jing Fu to Xianyang."

Li Shui nodded: "That's it. If there are any remaining clan members, you can let them know."

Xiang Bo nodded and said, "Definitely."

Although he said that he was sure, Xiang Bo had no intention of actually recruiting Xiang Liang to surrender. It is also clear that Xiang Liang has great ambitions and is preparing to become the king. It is impossible for him to come to Xianyang City and serve as a soldier under the Banished Immortal just because he wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender.

If this letter was sent out, Xiang Liang would probably fall out with him on the spot, and even treat him as a traitor.

Xiang Bo felt that his current condition was not bad. If Xiang Liang wins, he can get a share of the pie and the chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. If Xiang Liang loses, he might as well become Jing Bao, and he will still be the popular person next to the banished immortal.

Thinking of this, Xiang Bo smiled happily.

Li Shui interrogated the two Huns and asked them who was behind the scenes. The two Huns refused to say anything. After being beaten, he was recruited and told that he was Shanyu.

Li Shui was not satisfied with this answer and beat him again. The Huns said with a painful look on their face: "Shatilet?"

Li Shui beat them again.

The Huns were about to cry but had no tears, so they begged, "Who do you want, sir? Can you remind us?"

Li Shui glared: "Then I am trying to extract a confession through torture and frame him? You two can talk about it. If you are right, I will spare you. If you are wrong, I will continue to beat you."

Half an hour later, the two Huns' butts were rotten. They recruited many people, from the Chanyu to the tribal nobles of the Huns, and even their captains. In short, everyone who has some reputation has been mentioned by them.

Unfortunately, Li Shui was never satisfied.

Finally, these two people were enlightened. I started to think about who Li Shui’s enemies were.

After thinking about it this way, the answer is readily apparent. The two of them said in unison: "It's Ji Ming. It's Ji Ming who instigated the villain."

Li Shui nodded with satisfaction: "You are finally willing to tell the truth."

When the two Huns heard this, they burst into tears.

Unfortunately, Li Shui also asked: "Is there no one else besides Ji Ming who is instructing you?"

The Huns were about to cry but had no tears: "We have never been to Xianyang, so we really don't know who else is there."

Li Shui said kindly: "Don't worry, just stay in our army, listen more, watch more, and learn more. Soon you will know who is instructing you."

The two Huns yelled. They were tied up and taken away.

Everyone continued on their journey and soon arrived at the first mine.

This is a coal mine. This mine is different from the mine Li Shui imagined. The coal here is buried very shallowly, so just dig a big pit and then mine the coal in the open.

According to current scientific and technological means, it seems that there is no way to explore coal buried deep underground. Fortunately, Daqin's current demand for coal is not that much, and this kind of open-pit coal mine can supply enough.

The appearance of the banished immortal was a great encouragement to the alchemist who was in charge of the command, and also an encouragement to the head of Guizhou who came all the way to do the work.

Ban Xian encouraged them a few words and planned to leave. At this time, a dirty alchemist with a face full of soot caught up and said respectfully: "Master Banished Immortal, we have discovered coal, iron and gold here. But we have never found an immortal. We …When will we go look for the fairy mountain?”

Li Shui said calmly: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will naturally let you look for the fairy mountain."

The alchemist wanted to ask again, but Li Shui took out the death-free medal and waved it in front of him. The alchemist's face turned pale and he went to dig coal in embarrassment.

Li Shui was unhappy: I've already dealt with Ying Zheng, but now I have to deal with you?

After inspecting the coal mine, we visited the iron ore and copper mines due to jet lag. When he reached the gold mine, Xiang Bo looked at the gold with emotion.

This gold mine has a name, it's called Jingbao Mine. This is the meaning of Li Shui, and is used to commemorate Jing Bao who discovered the gold mine.

Li Shui looked at the busy people and watched the gold sand being dug out bit by bit. He suddenly found that there was no disturbance deep in his heart.

Sure enough, when there is too much money, it turns into a bunch of numbers. Sure enough, when you have too much money, you no longer love money.

Suddenly, someone on the watchtower shouted: "The Huns are coming, the Huns are coming."

The workers who were panning for gold just now took out their weapons and quickly entered the fortifications. In just a few minutes, they changed from workers to murderous soldiers.

Sure enough, a group of Huns came from the distance, about a few hundred people. They rode fast horses and approached the mine like a gust of wind. Apparently, they wanted to snatch the gold.

The workers were not in a hurry and just drew the bow.

When the Huns came within shooting range, a general shouted: "Let go."

Suddenly arrows rained down. The Huns immediately fell half dead.

The remaining half are still rushing over without knowing whether to live or die. When the workers saw that they were getting closer and closer, they took out their powerful crossbows and fired a lot of shots, and half of them fell again.

The remaining Huns were sparse, and they no longer had the vigor they had before.

The Qin people shouted and rushed out with weapons in hand. The Huns were frightened and wanted to leave, but they were overtaken and killed one by one after they ran not far.

Li Shui looked at them and nodded with satisfaction: "They are all strong men."

The workers said respectfully: "Reporting to the Immortal, this kind of thing happens almost every three to five days. We have become accustomed to it."

Li Shui patted their shoulders: "You are all warriors, and you should all be awarded honors. This is what Mr. Fu Yao meant."

The workers were all excited.

After Li Shui bought a wave of people's hearts, he finally led people to Li Xin's camp.

The two had not seen each other for more than a month, so they were naturally very happy to see each other this time.

Li Xin asked Li Shui: "Brother Huai, why did you come to Beidi?"

Li Shui said: "Brother Li, you don't know something. I, Huaiguzi, also want to make achievements and kill enemies for the country. I am so loyal and brave that I can't stand it anymore, so I came here."

Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion, and after a long time he said slowly: "We haven't seen each other for several months, and Brother Huai's face has become thicker and thicker."

Li Shui was a little dissatisfied: "Brother Li, how could you hurt the heart of a man with lofty ideals like this?"

Li Xin chuckled, took out a letter, and said, "Your Majesty ordered someone to hurry up and deliver this."

Li Shui opened it and took a look, and was speechless.

The letter was indeed written by Ying Zheng. In the letter, Ying Zheng told Li Xin that Huai Guzi came to the north to avoid disaster. In this way, personal safety can be ensured without appearing too timid. He asked Li Xin to properly protect Li Shui. It would be best to stay in the camp without charging into battle.

Li Shui sighed helplessly: "Even your Majesty, you don't know my true thoughts. I am really reclusive now, and it is hard to find a true friend."

Li Xin laughed helplessly.

Li Shui has arrived at Li Xin's camp and can relax now, because this place is absolutely safe. Li Xin runs the army rigorously, and it is impossible for assassins to sneak in.

Li Shui ate something and drank a few glasses of wine. Then he walked out of the tent with satisfaction and wanted to look around at the scenery.

As a result, after such a turn, I encountered Maodun.

Maodun was leading a group of Huns to help the Qin soldiers wash their clothes.

That's right, Moton started doing this kind of work ever since he became a traitor. Sometimes he wonders: What happened to the Qin people? Don’t you want to win over your own? Why do they humiliate me like this? Aren't you afraid that after I become a Chanyu, I will raise troops to rebel against Qin?

Of course, these thoughts can only be thought in the mind. Maodun still had to continue to wash clothes without complaint. Only by enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens can great things be achieved.

As a result, he was halfway through washing when he found a young man nearby, looking at him with a smile.

Modun raised his head and met the eyes of the man opposite him. He soon recognized that the place was Huaiguzi.

Li Shui took action and patted Mao Dun on the shoulder enthusiastically: "Brother, we meet again. I didn't break my promise, did I? I did send you a Qin army. Now there is not much left in Touman Shanyu's territory. To 10%. Most of the grasslands already belong to you."

Mao Dun didn't say anything. He had already fallen into self-doubt: Does this Huai Guzi really don't know, or is he pretending not to know? Was there even an inch of the land that was conquered that was given to him? Aren’t they all occupied by the Qin people?

If Huaiguzi didn't know, the information would be too limited. If he said he knew, the words he asked seemed to be deliberately sarcastic.

After weighing it up, Mao Dun could only say to Li Shui with a dry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Huai. If I hadn't been banished to immortals, I would have been wandering in the Central Plains for decades." 11 Baidu "I was a great leader in the Qin Dynasty" "Literature" latest chapters can be read for free as soon as possible.
