The rain keeps falling.
In the autumn rain and mud, a group of people dragged by long chains were struggling to move forward.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
"X, can you still leave? Do you want me to help you?"
In the heavy rain, the sound of whips falling on these people could be heard.
There was a wailing, and these people quickened their pace.
A arrogant soldier put away the whip in his hand, took a sip, and muttered: "It's really unlucky, how could I get into such an errand!"
A soldier next to him, who was also wearing a bamboo hat, laughed and said: "Isn't it because of the money? Your Excellency said that if you send these prisoners to Liaodong, they will get a hundred taels of silver when they go back! One hundred taels! How much flower wine can you eat?"
The soldiers laughed.
One hundred taels!
It's really tempting.
The round trip time was only three months. In three months, you can earn money that takes several years to earn. Who wouldn’t want that?
"We'll be there soon, everyone, work harder and keep an eye on everyone!"
But soon someone said: "Brothers, we are about to arrive at Wangchuan City, so cheer up!"
As soon as these words came out.
There was dead silence.
Many people trembled, with a look of fear in their pupils.
A bolt of thunder fell from the sky, tearing open the dark sky. Several terrifying silver dragons set off the horror of the coming Liaodong land.
"No, no, I don't want to go to Liaodong! Let me die! Let me die here!"
"don't want!"
The next moment, some of the prisoners in the team couldn't stand the atmosphere and began to break free from the chains like crazy.
"catch him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Poof!
The sword has no eyes.
Blood splattered everywhere.
But this still didn't stop people from fleeing.
Forget the city of Chuanchuan!
That's a place that eats people!
…
"Forget the River City?"
Liu Zheng was a little dumbfounded.
King Wei and King Yong, as well as Tiemucheng, and even Li Xuanya beside them, all nodded heavily.
"No, is it such an exaggeration?"
Liu Zheng was stunned.
Listening to what they said, this Wangchuan City is not a city at all, but a valley. This long valley spans between Qingzhou and Liaodong. If you want to cross Liaodong from Qingzhou, Wangchuan City is the place you must pass. However, there is a reason why this place is called "Forgotten River".
The environment of this valley is complex and extremely harsh, with beasts running rampant, poisonous miasma permeating the air, and swamps everywhere.
There are even rumors that evil spirits are rampant in Wangchuan City and savages are in power.
People eat people.
God eats people.
Ghosts eat people.
Per year.
Of the 100,000 prisoners who were transported here to be exiled, only 50,000 were able to pass through Wangchuan City safely!
It's so scary!
so.
King Wei and others suggested taking a detour.
However, if we take a detour, we will need to go far away from the Qiang grassland and go back and forth, which will take nearly three months.
Liu Zheng didn't expect it.
We are almost in Liaodong, and something like this happened. My own group of people, scattered here and there, totaled 70,000. Among them are 50,000 soldiers and 20,000 accompanying persons. This is no small number.
"Shilang Liu, you should think twice!"
"This Wangchuan City must not be entered recklessly!"
"That's it anyway, why don't we take a detour..."
A group of people advised Liu Zheng.
At this time, this group of people was stationed in a small town in Qingzhou.
Going forward is the direction of Wangchuan City.
Going west, you can detour through the grassland.
how to choose?
"How about you rest for a few days first?"
Liu Zheng said in a deep voice.
At this order, the accompanying soldiers and other personnel cheered.
After more than two months of long journey, I can finally rest. Although this town is not as big as a big city, it is still small and has all the internal organs. Restaurants, brothels, everything.
"You don't really want to force your way into Wangchuan City, do you?"
Here, the person who knows Liu Zheng's character best is probably King Yong. Seeing Liu Zheng's actions, he knew what this kid was thinking.
Liu Zheng knew that he could not hide it from him, so he smiled slightly: "King Yong also thinks that Wangchuan City is just a natural disaster?"
King Yong's expression changed greatly: "What do you mean?"
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing.
He didn't believe it.
He really wanted to visit this city of Forgotten River.
"Then what is the name of the Liaodong Jiedu Envoy?"
He looked back at King Yong.
"Qiao Yuan!"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and nodded.
It seems that this land in Liaodong is indeed not as simple as he imagined...
Before reaching Liaodong, the first hurdle appeared.
…
Liu Shilang did not dare to move forward.
A river of forgetfulness frightened him.
At this time, everyone in Long Yan began to be happy.
Isn't it aggressive? Don’t we want to develop Liaodong? You haven't even entered the gate of Liaodong yet, and you've been lingering here for seven days?
soon.
In the heavy rain, Prince Xie Fang's team also arrived. Following, the eleventh prince and Xie Ming's team also arrived. In addition, there are business houses and wealthy people from other states. They all gathered in this small town called "Taixi Village", and it was so lively.
"Hahahaha, Mr. Liu, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine!"
When the prince arrives, Liu Zheng and others still have to come out to greet him and salute him.
Xie Fang looked at Liu Zheng with eyes full of teasing, but his face was very polite.
"Your Majesty, you are fine! Please come in quickly."
After all, King Wei was a landowner, so he still prepared high-quality food and wine.
These people all came to the land of Liaodong to gather together happily, but at this time, they all looked at Liu Zheng in the field with indescribable eyes.
As if to say...
This Liaodong plan was hatched by you. Now, everyone is waiting here, watching your actions.
Are you going to go through it or go around it?
Everyone is waiting.
Everyone is watching the joke.
As the prince, Xie Fang was toasted with a glass of wine by everyone, and then he looked at Liu Zheng with a smile: "Liu Shilang, the weather is getting colder and colder... In another month, if you can't come to Liaodong, I will take a look, everyone. Guys, let’s break up and go home early!”
As soon as this was said, the whole room burst into laughter.
Some people immediately came out to echo: "Your Highness, this is not possible... Our Chamber of Commerce has brought all the wealth here this time, and we are counting on Minister Liu to make us rich! If we go back, won't we lose a lot of money?" Already?"
"that is!"
"Shilang Liu, you have to give us an explanation for this matter!"
A group of people started to take action.
King Yong was anxious: "Why are you making such a fuss? This mountain of Wangchuan is a ravine between heaven and earth, which cannot be resisted by human power. Didn't you know that such a thing existed before you came here?"
"King Yong, having said that, we thought that Liu Shilang was ambitious and there should be a way to solve it. That's why the whole family came to support the development of Liaodong..."
"yes……"
"Why don't Mr. Liu give us a charter as soon as possible, so that we can set off early and go around the grassland? Although it is a bit hard, at least no one will die... But I am afraid that the road will be iced, and it will be difficult to keep warm. question……"
The whole place was chirping.
There are all kinds of sounds.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "Who said I would go around it?"
The whole audience.
There was a sudden silence.
Everyone's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
