Chapter 116 Willing to be ordinary, you can only accept the judgment of fate
On the uninhabited mountains of the Indochina Peninsula, a group of merchants hurriedly shuttled through the mountain paths.
They were dressed in different costumes and obviously came from different places.
But they work together and work closely together.
"Hurry up, you can reach the country of Bi through this mountain pass."
One of them, a middle-aged man with a full beard and a cloth skirt, made a gurgling sound and urged.
There were only more than 20 people in this caravan, and each of them carried a bamboo basket on his back, and each of them also held a variety of sharp weapons for self-defense.
As soon as the group walked around the corner of the mountain pass, they looked ahead with vigilant and panicked eyes, and they all stopped in their tracks.
The man in the cloth skirt also had a ghostly expression, looking at the group of black-armored warriors in front of him incredulously.
They were well-equipped and resting on the stone walls on either side of the mountain trail.
Before they could make any moves, a shrill horn sounded.
The armor warriors who were resting all stood up in an instant and pulled out the sharp weapons in their hands.
Several black-armored warriors who were on the top of the mountain also raised their crossbows and aimed them at the uninvited guests below.
Hundreds of black-armored warriors, without saying a word, had their armor stained, and there was no lack of blood that had not yet dried up.
The black-armored commander walked at the front, and under the bronze grimace mask, his sharp eyes looked at the sudden caravan.
"My lord, do you want the villain to come over and say hello? It should be a businessman in the past, and there is no threat. ”
A middle-aged man with a goat's beard also squeezed out from behind, stood beside the leader of the black armor, and whispered.
"Go and ask them where they came from and where they are going?"
The Black Armor Commander said in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, the villain understands."
The goat-bearded middle-aged man nodded, and then walked towards the caravan, waving his hands as he went.
I chattered in my mouth, and after talking for a long time, I changed my words for a while.
It wasn't until he was about ten meters away from the caravan that he stopped, not daring to step forward at will.
"Are you from the Central Plains?"
The man in the cloth skirt comforted his companion, and then walked alone to the goat-bearded middle-aged man, saying as he walked.
"Sichuan, Xiangjun people also."
Kawa saw that there was a person from the Central Plains who was also walking towards him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For more than a year, with this group of ice cubes, I almost made myself stupid.
"Jiujiang County Jibu."
The man in the cloth skirt arched his hand towards Chuan.
"People from Chudi?"
Chuan thought for a moment and asked.
"Exactly."
Ji Bu nodded.
"Chu is thousands of miles away from Zhongnan, why did Brother Ji come here?"
Chuan didn't forget the explanation of the black armor commander, and began to talk.
"It's not for a livelihood yet."
Ji Bu said with a wry smile that he was originally a craftsman in his hometown, and he went to the funeral family to be a drummer in his spare time, and he could still get by.
But the good times didn't last long, and his sister-in-law was insulted by the dog official's wife and brother, and she had no way to ask for help, so she slaughtered the dog official's wife and brother in a fit of rage, and then began to die in the world.
If it weren't for the last resort, how could I have come to this ghost place where birds don't?
After some conversation, the two had a general understanding.
"Brother Ji, then they are all a group of unprovoked masters, if you want to save your life, don't make mistakes!"
Before leaving, Chuan kindly reminded him.
Looking at Chuan's departing figure, Ji Bu's face was solemn.
From that group of black-armored warriors, he could clearly feel the aura of slaughter.
This is a group of people who have been on the verge of death all year round, and have been killed in the sea of corpses and blood!
I have all hid here, if this place is also defeated by Daqin, where else can I hide?
In his heart, Ji Bu couldn't help but feel sorry for his fate.
Hearing Chuan's reply, the Black Armor Commander said to Chuan, "Let him come over." ”
Chuan immediately turned around and shouted at Ji Bu, who was a hundred meters away, "Brother Ji, the commander asked you to come over." ”
While shouting, Chuan also waved his arms.
Ji Bu was in a heavy mood, and looked at the warriors on the top of the surrounding mountains holding bows and crossbows against him, and the hundreds of fierce warriors in front of him, staring at him.
Do you have a choice?
Walking briskly forward, Ji Bu came to a meter away from the leader of the black armor, bowed his hand and said, "The villain Jiujiang County Ji Bu meets the general." ”
"Where is your caravan going?"
The black-armored leader's voice was still hoarse, as if he didn't have the slightest emotion.
"Back to the general, the villain is going to the country of Bi to do business."
Ji Bu said nervously.
"Doing business? Smuggling, right? Thousands of miles away, and you can only sell salt. ”
The cold gaze of the black armor leader seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he said coldly.
Ji Bu suddenly felt a chill on his back, you must know the Great Qin Law, it is a capital crime to smuggle salt out of the country.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in your smuggling."
The Black Armor Commander saw Ji Bu's uneasiness and spoke again.
"Then I don't know what the general ordered when he summoned the villain?"
After listening to this, Ji Bu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that he has thought too much, and such an elite armor soldier naturally can't come to hunt down his salt trafficker.
So why did they come here?
"Are you familiar with this Zhongnan?"
The leader of the black armor asked.
"Back to the general, the villain only knows that there is a path leading to the country of Pi, and other unfamiliar areas do not dare to set foot in danger."
Ji Bu replied honestly, not daring to deceive.
"How many people, how many soldiers, and how many cities are there in this country?"
The leader of the black armor saw that there were no signs of battle on Ji Bu's group, believing that he was not lying, and then asked.
Ji Bu was shocked in his heart, and instantly realized that this group of elite armor soldiers was the Great Qin scouts, right?
When I came, I heard that the Qin army had defeated Yuyue and was resting at the Mei River, and a large number of convicts were cutting wood and building ships, opening mountains and paving roads, preparing to cross the Mei River and march west.
"General, the country of Bi is a royal city, with more than 2,000 soldiers and a population of less than 20,000."
Jibu said everything he knew.
"How tall is the city?"
The black armor commander raised his hand and said lightly.
The armor soldiers behind him immediately inserted their weapons back into the scabbard.
"My lord, the Huren King City is about two zhang high. Although there were less than 20,000 people in the city, there were hundreds of tribes of all sizes scattered around the city, no less than 100,000 people. ”
Ji Bu's heart moved, he was very familiar with the country of Bi.
Listening to the words of the Black Armor Commander, it seemed that he had the intention of getting involved in the city of the king of Hu, so he reminded him.
"Are the hussars well-armed or not?"
The Black Armor Commander didn't seem to hear Ji Bu's reminder, but continued to ask.
"Most of them are wood grass, stone tools, bone tools. The tools of copper and iron are almost negligible. ”
Ji Bu sighed in his heart, seeing that the Black Armor Commander did not listen to his kindness, he did not dare to say more.
"I think you're a good man, are you willing to serve the Empire?"
The black armor leader looked at Ji Bu with a cold gaze, and suddenly changed his words.
Ji Bu was slightly stunned, and his heart was slightly bitter.
In this form, do you dare to say a word?
"The villain is willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
Ji Bu bowed his hand.
"Very well, then you go and kill all the smugglers."
The Black Armor Commander looked at the restless merchants in the distance, and said coldly.
"General......
Jibu knelt on one knee with an ugly look.
Groaning ......
A crisp sword roar pierced the sky, and a cold light flashed.
So fast......
Ji Bu exclaimed in his heart, and the black armor commander held a long sword in his hand and put it on his neck.
"If you don't do it, you'll all die."
The Black Armor Leader's voice was hoarse, like a hellish ghost, which made people shudder.
Ji Bu was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and his expression was very complicated.
Although he doesn't have a deep friendship with these people, they are all tied together because of interests.
But along the way, how can you bear it?
"Forgive the villain for being difficult to obey."
After Ji Bu made up his mind, he closed his eyes and looked like he was at your disposal.
"It's affectionate and righteous, it's not bad, get up!"
The voice of the Black Armor Leader rang in Ji Bu's ears.
"General?"
Ji Bu opened his eyes and found that the sword around his neck was gone, and he was a little surprised when he saw that the sword of the black armor leader had been sheathed.
"I, the master of the Black Nightmare Army, is the sword in the hands of His Majesty. You are not afraid of life and death, and you have a righteous heart, which is also in line with the purpose of the Black Nightmare Army. But the heart of the supreme nature is contrary to the Black Nightmare Army. ”
The voice of the black armor commander was not only appreciative, but also a little regretful.
Ji Bu listened patiently, feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
The Black-Armored Commander raised his hand and waved forward.
Immediately behind him, five armorers walked out, drew their swords, and walked calmly into the distance.
"Your Excellency?"
Ji Bu was shocked, looking at the Black Armor Commander with a questioning face.
"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. We have the responsibility of the empire on this trip, and if we get along with each other in a different place, we may be able to spare their lives, but not here. ”
The Black Armor Commander glanced at Ji Bu, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and said coldly.
"General, are they just innocent caravanserais? What a sin? ”
Ji Bu stood up very calmly, watching the five armor soldiers gradually approach the distant road.
"So what? When it comes to the affairs of the empire, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. ”
The Black Armor Commander's voice said without the slightest emotion.
Ji Bu sat on the ground in a decadent and weak manner, watching the five armor soldiers in the distance, like wolves entering the flock, wantonly harvesting life.
Like a god of death, the five armor warriors rushed into the caravan.
The alien merchants all shouted in horror, and a strange roar came out of their mouths.
Although they are extremely afraid, in the face of life and death, how can they not give it their all?
Several of their companions, who tried to escape, were shot dead on the spot by the armor soldiers holding crossbows above.
This made the remaining twenty people immediately realize that there was no way back.
took out his self-defense weapon, and rushed towards the five armor soldiers with a shout.
The five people are a team, and these five black-armored warriors have obviously cooperated closely for many years and formed a battle formation of their own.
The five people are dependent on each other, each attacking and defending in one direction, and each has its own responsibilities.
"Roaring ......"
"Roaring ......"
"Roaring ......"
Not far away, all the armor soldiers roared one after another, as if they were helping their comrades in battle, shouting in unison.
The handover of short troops, only a few dozen breaths, came to an end.
The five armor soldiers fought together, both offensive and defensive, experienced in battle formations for a long time, and underwent strict training in fighting skills.
Almost every sword is a sword of death, and every move takes away a living life.
They were all killed, and they didn't drag their feet in the mud and water.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, they wiped the blood from their swords from the clothes of the merchants on the ground, and then turned to leave.
Ji Bu looked at this scene with a painful expression, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch everything.
He hated his own incompetence, blamed himself for his uselessness......
"Let's go!"
"If you want to change your fate, only by standing on the top of the mountain can you be qualified to prevent the end you don't want to see."
"If you are willing to be ordinary, you can only accept the judgment of fate."
"Either the power is tilted to one side and the fate of others is slashed. Either they will destroy all living beings and become the flesh of others. ”
The leader of the black armor looked at Ji Bu, who looked pained and his eyes were blank, staring at Ji Bu who was in a daze with the corpse of his companion in front of him, and said meaningfully.
With that, he turned and left.
The words of the Black Armor Commander pierced Ji Bu's heart.
Oh, yes!
Isn't that what this is in the world?
Only the strong can stand proudly in the world and be qualified to participate in the formulation of the rules of this world.
In a long life, do you really have to live like this for the rest of your life?
Jibu felt that a new door had opened in his heart, and the swelling ambition was burning.
His eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more hideous.
Until finally, he completely calmed down, slowly stood up, and looked at the unattended body lying on the ground in front of him.
Ji Bu bowed and bowed three times, then resolutely turned around and followed the black armor team away.
The Great Qin Empire destroyed Yuyue in May of the 30th year of the First Emperor and set up Nanjun.
Annan Fortress was expanded based on the royal capital of the Oyue Kingdom.
Annan City County guarded the mansion, Tu Sui and Cao Shen sat on their knees.
Xiang County, Nanhai County, and Minzhong County, after several years of strong suppression, the local local people's resistance is gradually dissipating.
Up to the past two years, there has been almost no bloodshed.
On the contrary, it is Dingnan County, because the base is not yet stable, there are often local people's livelihoods, and even hide in the mountains and dense forests, attacking the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire at any time.
"Brother Cao, Your Majesty's holy decree tells Brother to be careful of sneak attacks and assassinations, especially His Majesty's repeated instructions, how does it feel weird?"
Tu Sui was worried, with an anxious look on his face, he really couldn't figure out what His Majesty's holy decree meant?
Cao Shen was also in a state of bewilderment, took the holy decree, looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but look at each other and said: "Maybe Your Majesty has received some special information, the general must pay attention to his own safety!" ”
Tu Sui's pupils suddenly widened, obediently, does Your Majesty know that he is about to die?
Is Your Majesty a god?
Can this kind of thing be predicted?
