The screams lasted for a quarter of an hour.
This time is actually very short, but it is long enough for killing people.
Finally, Augustus came out with his dagger.
Behind him, there were five guards left.
As for the others, they were all dead.
Augustus stood on the steps, looking at the clouds rolling in and out, as if he was back when he was young again.
If the commander is determined and confident, he will be high-spirited every day and feel that tomorrow will be better every day.
I can't bear to sleep and I can't wait to do something every moment.
Today's killing made him find the complacency of his youth.
The guards behind him and the generals who came in a hurry all looked at Augustus with reverence.
They saw the majestic emperor again.
Someone couldn't help but said: "The sleeping lion has woken up."
Augustus, who had been sleeping for too long, was addicted to wine and sex, and watched Qin gradually encroaching on the Kingdom of the Gods.
If this continues, the Kingdom of the Gods will soon be destroyed.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Augustus was awakened by blood.
Someone knelt down and saluted, and said to Augustus: "Take us to drive the Qin people out."
The remaining people all knelt down and saluted, and said with fanatical eyes: "Take us and drive the Qin people out."
Augustus looked at these soldiers, and then slowly walked to the waterhole.
The pool had calmed down, reflecting Augustus' appearance.
Augustus looked at himself in the water, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, looking like he was about to decay.
Augustus breathed a long sigh of relief, threw the sword to the ground, and then panted slightly.
He is old.
He had only killed three people just now, but he was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
I used to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but recently I would fall asleep after just one or two cups.
Especially the banished immortal wine from Da Qin. Just half a glass of it will make you dizzy.
In the past, Augustus had many strangers and many beautiful men around him.
But Augustus had become less and less interested in them recently. He was old and weak.
Augustus smiled bitterly, regained his composure, looked at the generals, and said quietly: "Who should be driven out?"
These generals looked at Augustus in a daze, and then said: "Of course we drove the Qin people out."
Augustus slowly shook his head: "Is it really that easy to drive out the Qin people? They have all kinds of magical things. They have strong soldiers and horses, and they never seem to have to worry about food and grass. We lose every battle and die in vain. A lot of people.”
"It is estimated that in one or two months, the Qin people will attack me. By then, what will be the consequences for us?"
The generals' hearts suddenly became cold.
Just now they were excited by the illusory enthusiasm, but now they were poured cold water on them by reality, and they completely calmed down.
The generals cautiously asked Augustus: "What should we do?"
Augustus took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter written by the banished immortal of the Qin people to me. He said in his heart that the emperor of the Qin people is holding an exhibition called the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Kings."
"Every time a land is conquered, the king there will be brought there, given a house and a few maids, and entertained with delicious food and drinks. Sometimes the Qin people will come back to visit."
“When the weather is sunny and neither too cold nor too hot, there is even a constant flow of people and it’s very lively.”
"I thought about it. This Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion sounds like a good place to go. Why not surrender? You can still save your life."
The generals were silent.
Someone said: "We still have hundreds of thousands of troops. If we escape, we can escape. Maybe we can find an overseas island to continue the rule of the Kingdom of the Gods."
Augustus smiled bitterly: "Continuing the rule? The rule of the Kingdom of the Gods? The gods have abandoned us. Is this rule still necessary?"
The generals sighed.
Augustus thought for a while and said: "Those of you who are willing to escape, please lead others to escape. I will give you three days. After three days, I will lead people to surrender."
These generals looked at me and I looked at you. Three of them turned around and left, while the rest did not move.
Augustus asked: "What? Do you want to stay?"
The generals said cautiously: "We have surrendered after the sun has passed. What treatment will the Qin people give us?"
Augustus said: "At least there is nothing wrong with being a rich man."
These people breathed a long sigh of relief, and then nodded repeatedly.
…………
Three days later, the general who wanted to escape had left. Augustus took the remaining people and surrendered to Lishui.
Li Shui and Li Xin lazily walked to the capital of the barbarian country.
Li Xin looked at the tall stone buildings and lifelike statues, nodded and said, "This place has a different flavor."
Li Shui hummed: "Yes, it's exotic."
Li Xin said: "However, I, the Qin Dynasty, am the center of the world. These barbarian things are nothing more than miraculous skills and tricks, not worth mentioning."
Li Shui couldn't help but be happy.
This statement was also mentioned by some people in the late Qing Dynasty, and it triggered a big controversy.
But the statement made at that time was really different from the statement made now.
Today's Great Qin is truly the center of the world. Today's barbarians are really just cunning and cunning. Really not worth mentioning.
Augustus dressed up to greet the banished immortal, bowed to the banished immortal, and said: "Welcome the gods of the world, the banished immortal who has come from afar."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said to Augustus: "Are you ready to go to Xianyang City to see the future?"
Augustus was silent, then nodded.
He steeled himself and said to the banished immortal: "I have prepared wine and food for the banished immortal."
Li Shui waved his hand and said, "No need, General Li is eager to return home. We'd better go back first."
Afterwards, Li Shui and Li Xin quickly found the roster and started calling the names.
But reputable officials have to find someone and take care of it.
At the last roll call, it was discovered that one-third of the senior officials were missing.
Li Shui looked at Augustus.
Augustus was a little frightened and said cautiously: "These people... these people are so bold that they escaped in advance."
Li Shui yelled and said to the soldiers behind him: "Lead a team of people and arrest them."
Then he pointed to Augustus: "Invite them to Xianyang City."
Augustus looked at Li Shui in surprise: "Are you going now?"
Li Shui hummed: "Go now, without delay. I told you a long time ago that our General Li is eager to return home. If he is suppressed, who will be responsible?"
Li Xin: "..."
Damn it, why are you always making trouble with me?
The railway had not yet been paved, but some sections were open to traffic, so Li Shui and his party stopped and walked. Where there are railways, take the train; where there are no railways, take the horse-drawn carriage.
Although this is more troublesome, it is much faster than simply riding a carriage.
At first, some officials under Augustus were still a little unconvinced and felt that the Kingdom of the Gods should not be given up so easily.
But once they got on the train, they gave up the idea completely.
They suddenly discovered that the Qin people had such magical things.
This train can travel thousands of miles in one day, can travel at lightning speed, and can carry countless amounts of grain, grass, people, and horses.
With this thing, you will definitely win every battle.
Even if you had stayed and resisted in the Kingdom of the Gods, the outcome was already doomed and it would definitely be failure.
As a result, these people were completely disheartened.
They became submissive.
Augustus adapted to everything very quickly and it was not difficult at all.
He had long believed that the people of Qin were brave and invincible, so when he looked at the surprised eyes of everyone, Augustus always looked like "I told you before, did you just know?"
In a luxurious box on the train, Li Shui and Li Xin were drinking tea and chatting.
Li Xin said: "Let's just leave like this. Wouldn't it be too hasty?"
Li Shui said: "What's so rash? The barbarian king has already been captured. If you don't leave, are you going to wait here to establish yourself as king?"
Li Xin coughed dryly and said helplessly: "Brother Huai, are you used to suing others for treason? Why do you want to sue yourself?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said, "I'm used to it. Haha..."
…………
In Xianyang City, there is a Pavilion of Ten Thousand Kings.
Inside the Hall of Kings, there are many interesting things on display.
For example, in a courtyard, there was a Dongyi King.
King Dongyi was the leader of the Hu people. After being captured by Li Shui and Li Xin, he was put here.
Judging from his living conditions, he is under house arrest.
Moreover, Li Shui was very considerate and allowed him to maintain his original living conditions and habits.
The food, clothing, and daily life are exactly the same as before, and even the waiters around him are all Dongyi people.
Moreover, every day King Dongyi would imitate the situation before his country was destroyed, and convene a meeting with his ministers every day.
Of course, in their previous meetings, they discussed how to attack Daqin and how to plunder grain and grass. Now, what they are discussing... is mostly about what to eat tonight.
At first, the people watched it with gusto, but as time went by, they became less sluggish.
After an investigation, the museum staff felt that the reason for people's dissatisfaction was that it lacked a sense of reality.
So they made up some scripts and asked these Dongyi people to discuss according to the scripts during meetings.
Therefore, when people visit Dongyi Pavilion again, they will have new content.
The Dongyi people robbed a certain city, how many people were killed, how many people were killed, and the losses were heavy. What should we do next?
Combined with the map, it is clear at a glance.
King Dongyi worked hard, playing the role of a fatuous and cruel monarch to the fullest.
In fact, this is not a performance, this is the true performance of King Dongyi.
As for those ministers, some played loyal ministers and some acted treacherous ministers. Everyone worked hard to make the story recognized by the people.
So, the people originally came here to see something rare, but now they suddenly felt that... they were just watching a big show.
As a result, Dongyi Pavilion's income suddenly increased.
The income of Dongyi Pavilion is high, and the bonuses given to King Dongyi and others are also high.
Although they are under house arrest here and cannot go out, they can communicate with other kings.
For example, the King of Baiyue.
The name above Baiyue King is a king, but in fact he is just a tribal leader.
He had no special skills, so he just knitted and sold straw sandals all day long. He used the money from the sales to exchange for some daily necessities with other kings.
Because the King of Baiyue is relatively unpopular, the Baiyue Pavilion's income is relatively low, and the administrator is not very happy.
Since King Dongyi became popular, other places have followed suit and thought of many scripts for these kings to perform.
The most important thing about these scripts is that they fit the characters.
For example, the King of the Huns.
In fact, the king of the Huns was Mo Fu and Sha Tilie, and the two brothers had been killed.
The current King of the Huns was just hired to fill the role. He is really an actor.
Now the King of the Xiongnu is clamoring all day long about how to attack Da Qin, and then he is beaten by Da Qin and loses his armor.
The people of Qin had been harassed by the Xiongnu for many years and had an unforgettable hatred for them, so they were all happy to see the Xiongnu king defeated.
As a result, the Xiongnu Pavilion also became popular.
On this day, the top management of the Ten Thousand Kings Hall was having a meeting, and the person sitting in the main seat was Wei Yang.
Yes, the boss, major shareholder, and leader behind the Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion is actually Wei Young.
In fact, Weiyang didn't have any special purpose in opening the Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion. She was just... idle and bored.
Because Princess Weiyang is the boss, most of the senior management here are women.
Most of these women come from craftsman families.
For example, Aunt Zhao is an old man from Shangjun Villa. Before, I just woven fabrics and washed clothes.
Ever since Princess Weiyang took over here, Aunt Zhao has been working at the Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion.
Moreover, Aunt Zhao's outstanding work ability has been recognized by the princess, and she has been promoted step by step, and now she has reached the position of a senior executive.
Aunt Zhao said to Wei Young: "Princess, our Ten Thousand Kings Palace is pretty good now. However, over time, the people will get tired of seeing it. After all, there are only so many kings."
Wei Yang nodded and asked, "What good ideas do you have?"
Aunt Zhao said: "I sent someone to ask, and the reason why the people are willing to come to us is just because they find it novel."
"They find it novel when they look at these kings, so will they find it novel when they look at other things?"
"So I think we should expand the Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion and bring in some tigers and leopards."
Weiyang nodded: "This makes sense, but ferocious beasts can easily hurt people, and if you are not careful, it can easily lead to catastrophe."
Aunt Zhao said: "This is simple. We can plan carefully before taking action, but it will take a long time. I am worried that it will affect the income of our Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion."
At this time, a maid walked over quickly and said to Weiyang: "Princess, the letter of banishment to the immortal is here at high speed."
Weiyang quickly took the letter.
She looked at it for a while and couldn't help but grin.
Everyone looked at her curiously.
Weiyang said: "New guests are coming to the Ten Thousand Kings Pavilion. The barbarian king, the man who calls himself Augustus, has been arrested."
Aunt Zhao clapped her hands and said excitedly: "Great, now we are at war with the barbarian country. If Augustus is caught in the Hall of Kings, won't the people crowd their heads to watch?"
After he clapped his hands, he suddenly froze and looked at Weiyang in disbelief: "Is... the king of the barbarian country was captured?"
Weiyang nodded.
Aunt Zhao looked shocked: "The banished immortal is really the god of war in this world." 1603466134
