From Jiangyou Shu to Yuxian, a big river meanders through, called Fushui.

In the north of Ruoxian County, on the open space on the west bank of Fushui, more than 30,000 Bashu soldiers with torches in their hands and high morale lined up in a phalanx, facing each other from a distance with the Qin army two miles away from the south.

In the face of the enemy army with a huge difference in strength, the Qin soldiers all looked solemn.

"Such a confrontation, Qin is in the south, and Bashu is in the north, hahaha..."Li Xin pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile.

Qin Jun's tension was not alleviated in the slightest, but became more and more worried. The Bashu army was in the north, which meant that they didn't even have a chance to retreat.

The firelight beats, the Bashu soldiers gradually approach, the Qin army clenches the blades, his heart rises to his throat, and in despair, he secretly complains that Ziying has too many people to garrison Qin.

The two armies gradually advanced, and the Qin army faintly felt that they could see the appearance of the Bashu army next to the torch.

"If the king used all the defensive forces to attack Bashu, there would be no defeat today, right?"

There was a discussion among the Qin army.

"Don't criticize the king!"

Li Xin's face was shocked, he frowned and hurriedly turned back to look for the person who had disturbed the army's heart, but saw the Qin army nearby with a confused face.

Only then did Li Xin realize that no one had spoken just now. That voice... It was the complaint in his heart.

"Heh... The head of an army is so shaken, what do you think. Li Xin secretly laughed at himself.

Without allowing Li Xin to think too much, the leader of the Bashu army had already stepped on a tall brown horse and walked closer.

The leader was middle-aged, but his sharpness had not diminished in the slightest. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of the nose is towering, the hair is long to the chest, and the height is nearly eight feet.

Li Xin did not have a mount at the moment, and in comparison, his momentum was suppressed to death.

"Your Excellency is Li Xin, the commander of the Qin State?" The man asked in a loud voice.

"Exactly." Li Xin replied coldly, "Your Excellency is Dangxian Worm?" ”

The man's face was expressionless, and he nodded slightly, "Now that you know your identity, can Commander Li be ready to die?" Or... Surrender with an army? Commander Li can rest assured that as long as he is loyal to Zhou Luhou in the future, he will not be treated less courteously than Qin Di. ”

Li Xin only recruited some Bashu soldiers today, and was so bribed by Worm Da that he felt ironic.

"Isn't the King of Bashu Liu Bang? Why do you want to take refuge in Lu Ze? Could it be that the Insect Commander is a traitor? Li Xin sneered, "The Great Qin soldiers don't disdain to be in the company of such people. ”

Worm Da's face was cold, and his killing intent suddenly rose, "Commander Li is young and famous, and he admires it very much, the Qin State should have died when the world revolted, and this last breath of air can't cause any waves." Don't be too stubborn! ”

"That's... Let this commander be stubborn, this commander has already been stubborn through the Golden Bull Road, after Zitong, he will be stubborn to Chengdu in the future!! Li Xin shouted abruptly.

"That's good, this is Li Xin in my heart! Pity... followed the faint gentleman of the child. ”

Worm Da suddenly drew his sword and pointed forward, "The whole army rushes and kills!" Behead the child today and capture Li Xin alive! ”

"Kill!"

The 30,000 battle-hardened people shouted in unison, surging like a frenzy, and the Qin army seemed to be engulfed by the frenzy of leaves.

The two armies are coming in one another, not dying, and they are trying to fight each other.

"Smack-"

A loud sound breaking the night sky came from the south, and the two armies stopped in shock.

"After a thousand years, Bashu people like spicy food, and now they like sweet things, why is it so angry?"

"Who pretends to be a ghost, come out quickly!" Worm shouted, frightened by the loud noise just now.

Two Qin soldiers pushed a wooden wheeled cart carrying a bronze tree nearly four meters high, and slowly drove along the bumpy road. With a miserable face, Ziying was supported by Zhao Ji, holding a fire gun made by the spirit burner.

"It's not a god or a ghost, it's the Son of Heaven, the king of Great Qin—Ziying." Ziying laughed vigorously.

"Child? Scold... I can't imagine that before the commander makes a move, you seem to be about to die. Worm Da couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the tragic condition of the child.

Zhao Ji held the torch high against the bronze tree, and the smile of the insect was frozen, and his eyes were full of worship.

The cyan sacred tree is lifelike, and there are nine sacred birds standing on the branches and fruits. There was a dragon coiled under the trunk of the tree, and a majestic aura that suppressed the hosts rushed to his face.

"How is this possible?! Bronze can't be so tall and so tall...", Worm said dumbfounded.

Ziying laughed secretly, people in the next thousand years thought so, until this thing was born.

"Fortunately, the war has not started yet, and it is not too late for the widow to come." Ziying walked to Li Xin's side and smiled.

"This is what the king would rather have dug up than destroy the houses of the people?" Li Xin frowned and was puzzled, "Although this thing is exquisite, what use can it be brought to the battlefield?" ”

"This thing can stop the war, and it can also..."Ziying looked at the insect not far away, "It can also use the Bashu army for widows!" ”

Li Xin was incredulous and speechless.

"Hahaha..."Worm Da couldn't help laughing, "Ziying, this commander saw that you hurt your stomach, not your head, why did you start talking nonsense?" You wouldn't think of it as a witch artifact, would you? ”

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you still need to listen carefully to the commander of the worm. There are a lot of people here, and some words... Don't be known by too many people. Ziying looked to the east, and a small boat was tied to the water.

Worm Da frowned and was alert, "King Qin doesn't want to die with this commander, right?" Exchanging the king's life for a general's life is a loss-making business. Even if the King of Qin wanted to overturn the boat, the commander could escape. ”

"What so much nonsense, the widow only asks if you dare?" Ziying said excitedly.

"Those who practice swords will not be easily provoked, and it is too superficial to induce this commander in this way. Ben Commander is not fooled! Worm smiled disdainfully.

"That's a pity, the Worm Commander has made the wrong chance to live forever." Ziying shook his head and sighed, "There are heroes in troubled times, there are many heroes in the world at this time, there are Xiao He, Cao Shen, Zhou Bozai, even if the commander of the worm kills the widow, he will not be easily remembered by future generations~"

Worm Da was caught in the soft underbelly, and his brows furrowed slightly, "This commander killed the king of a country with his own hands, why can't you?!" ”

"Isn't this still what Wormda himself said? Great Qin only has a breath of air left, how can he make a name for himself after killing such a monarch. The Insect Commander killed Xiang Yu with his own hands. Ziying smiled.

Worm squinted her eyes, looked at the boat in the water, and then looked at Ziying and the bronze tree.

"Ziying, you'd better not play tricks! Otherwise, today's Qin army will not even have a chance to surrender! Worm shouted.

"Got it, it's really long-winded!"

Ziying was helped onto the boat by Zhao Ji, and Worm stood on the shore and shook the boat for a moment, making sure that he had not done anything before stepping in and sitting opposite Ziying.

"Boating late at night is not a loss of Yaxing, but unfortunately there is no moon tonight, and it adds a bit of murder." Ziying sighed.

"No matter how late King Qin is, there will be no reinforcements here tonight." Worm language with warning.

"The widow's trip is specially for the most desired things of the insect commander, and the precious things are given to others, and it depends on the sincerity of the other party." Ziying smiled.

"Oh?" Worm Da was interested, "King Qin knows? ”

"Everyone in the world has desires, and what Worm Da wants most is fame!"

Ziying's eyes narrowed slightly like a torch, and he stretched out his head to look directly at the worm. The water moved rapidly, and Ziying almost fell, but was held by Zhao Ji in time.

"Hahaha, King Qin will be mistaken. Everyone wants to be famous, and this Commander is no exception, but he does not desire it, nor does he want it for the sake of so-called fame... Let King Qin go! Worm sneered with his sword.

"Oh?" Ziying looked at Worm Da playfully, "Before the Worm Commander mobilized the troops, you should know that Daqin only had more than 5,000 people, but he brought all the 30,000 elite soldiers of Bashu, and also launched the defenders of Jiameng Pass. With such a big move, isn't the Commander of the Worm Da trying to increase his momentum? ”

"This commander is for foolproof!" Worm Denied it.

"Isn't it foolproof that this will leave the other important towns empty?" Ziying said with a smile, "The monarch of the Qin State came to Bashu in person and was defeated by the commander of the worm, so he can become famous. But if others know that the Qin army that resisted was only 5,000, tsk... I'm afraid the name is false. For the sake of fame, the Commander of the Worm Da deliberately did this, and said that he was not thirsty? ”

"I'm afraid that in the future, the insect commander will secretly send people to disperse, the Qin army has hundreds of thousands of troops, Lu Pheasant is not in Bashu, and the insect commander is urgent, and he will gather the whole country's troops to win the battle." Zhao Ji sneered.

"Nonsense!" Worm suddenly shouted, "The Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves, what's wrong with this commander sending more troops?!" ”

"After the giant deer, the world has been light Qin, and the widow attacked the Zhai country and returned defeated, where is there still the name of the tiger wolf. I'm afraid I don't even believe what the Insect Commander said, right? Ziying teased.

Worm was punctured in his heart, suddenly felt embarrassed, and drew his sword and pointed it directly at Ziying's throat, "What if you know?" Child, you will still die today!! ”

Li Xin on the shore was startled and wanted to rush over. saw Ziying pinching the blade of the sword lightly with his fingers and shaking his head at him.

"The king doesn't really think that he can defeat the army with his tongue alone, does he? Monkey business! Li Xin clenched his fists and sighed.

Ziying was not afraid, and gently put down the sword of the worm, "The insect commander should not be anxious, if he kills the widow today, not only will his reputation be lost, but he will be killed." ”

"Less bluffing! The commander raised troops from Dangxian and followed Zhou Luhou. Today, a great achievement has been made, and it is too late for Zhou Luhou to be rewarded! Worm said angrily.

"The widow originally thought that the insect leader was in favor of Lu Ze, but it wasn't until he met a person that he realized that things in Bashu were not so simple." Ziying's eyes suddenly deepened.

"Who?" Worm asked with a frown.

"Zitong's guards Guo Ting's soldiers - Lou Jing!" Ziying replied.

"That person is talented but unambitious, and the commander has indeed heard of it, what does this have to do with the commander?" Worm was puzzled.

"Lou Jingxin to Liu Bang, he would rather die than follow the widow, but before he died, he said that he would report to the insect in the river, doesn't the insect commander feel strange?" Ziying analyzed, "There are two guards in the group, Ding Fu, and the insect commander. It stands to reason that Ding Fu followed Liu Bang from the beginning, and the most important words should be to Ding Fuyan, but Lou Jing instead passed the word to the insect commander.

This can only show that Ding Fu has been bought by Lu Pheasant, but Lu Ze's old subordinates have their hearts set on Liu Bang!

Even the soldiers in other places know the hearts of the insect commanders, and the other commanders know their own hearts.

If the insect commander kills the widow, when Lu Pheasant returns, what should the general who is jealous of the Lu clan say to Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant? ”

Worm Da was completely confused, "Fake... It's all fake! The commander's heart is to Zhou Luhou, Lou Jing just said casually, Liu Bang's general trend has gone, and the commander has no reason to change his mind! ”

Ziying looked at the worm and suddenly felt funny. The calculation in his heart has been revealed, and he has deceived himself, is it true that he thinks he will deny it, and he can let him go with Lu's temper?

"There are two well-known swordsmen in the world at that time, but the only person who can rise up against Qin is the insect commander. The insect commander must not be willing to be famous in swordsmanship, but also to make some reputation in the generals. Ziying continued, "Even if he raised troops from Lu Ze, he was still Liu Bang's minister. Originally, Liu Bang's momentum was expected by the insect leader, but it was the civil strife in Bashu. If you die from Liu, you will be infamous from Lu. The insect commander values prestige the most and hates infamy, which is the reason why Ming Xiang Lu and Shi Xiang Liu! ”

Ziying's words pierced through Worm Da's last cover-up, Worm Da felt a chill in his heart, let go of the long sword, and collapsed in the boat.

"Alas, it is not easy to be born in troubled times, but still think about taking care of your reputation." Zhao Ji took advantage of the situation and said.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that the majestic worm just now actually bowed his head to a half-dead person?!

"Zi Ying... You set a trap in the boat, right? ”

"Insect Commander, what's going on?!"

After a while, Worm Da slowly raised his head and smiled evilly at Ziying, "King Qin is really smart, and he knows the heart of this leader in Zitong." But... So what? There is no empirical evidence of the deeds, and the commander can use this to cover up all the criticism by holding the head of the king of Qin and seeing the Marquis of Zhou. The people who practice the sword are very careful, and this commander has never left anyone else with any handle that can be grasped! ”

After saying that, Worm reached out and picked up the sword again.

Zhao Ji was taken aback, "That... The insect commander is willing to bear the infamy of the master? ”

"Life is more important than fame, and this commander can't care so much!" Worm da gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, Insect Commander." Ziying smiled, "The widow has the best of both worlds here, doesn't the Insect Commander want to hear it!" ”

"Shut up!" Worm Da shouted, "This commander was born at the wrong time, betraying Liu is infamy, and betraying Lu is also infamy, how to choose, this commander knows it in his heart." Ziying, you don't want to bewitch again! ”

"The insect commander has a bad memory, right?!" Ziying shouted urgently, tearing the wound in severe pain, "The Insect Commander doesn't want to know about the Bronze Strange Tree?" ”

"Humph!" Worm Da smiled disdainfully, "It's just the artifacts of the ancient Shu Kingdom, even if you don't dig it out, there will always be a day to rebuild it." ”

Worm got up suddenly, raised his long sword and slashed at Ziying's head.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Li Xin shouted and ran towards Fushui. Zhao Ji bit her lip lightly and protected her child with her body.

"Bang ——!"

In the midst of the lightning, the loud noise started again.

The worm's mouth cracked, blood spilled out, his body stiffened with fright, and the long sword fell into the water.

The small fire gun in Ziying's hand emitted white smoke and exuded a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Madame... The widow was overwhelmed..."Ziying said with a painful face.

Zhao Ji woke up, hurriedly got up, and helped the child.

"Ahem, ahem... This time it should have been hit on the head of the insect leader, but unfortunately... The widow couldn't bear to kill the celebrity, so he spared the life of the insect commander. Ziying said.

Wormda's attention was all drawn by the small fire gun.

"It's... What is it? Worm muttered.

"It's... A heaven-sent thing, God is afraid that the widow will be assassinated by a traitor, and deliberately gives the widow self-defense. Ziying lied.

"This commander has already guessed that King Qin must be Zhao Gao who surrendered with this thing." The worm is supplemented by the brain.

Zhao Gao also claimed to be a celestial, but there was no basis, Ziying could at least come up with a physical object.

"That's right, the Insect Commander is really smart." Ziying said.

"The Honto... If you offend the heavens, your reputation will be ruined, and you deserve to die..."

Wormda's brain was shaken and he turned around and was about to throw himself into the river.

"Don't be a commander!" Ziying tore and reached out to grab the corner of Wormda's clothes.

"I've never seen someone with such a good name!" Ziying scolded secretly, "If you weren't for the worm, you would have collapsed a long time ago." ”

Although Worm Da is a swordsman, he ranks eighteen among the eighteen most important heroes of Liu Bang's founding, and Liu Bang's heroes are no less than a hundred, which shows that Worm Dafei is a mediocre talent.

"When a man lives, he lives for one. The reputation is gone, and all that remains is the shell..."The voice of the worm is even weaker than that of the child.

Ziying stretched out his hand and pointed to the bronze tree, and said hurriedly, "Tomorrow, the widow will send someone to spread the news that the people of the world are the first to discover this thing, and the reputation of the Insect Commander will be there!" ”

"What's the use?" Worm smiled helplessly.

"This..."

Ziying suddenly felt that Xia Worm couldn't speak ice, and he couldn't understand the value of cultural relics with Worm Da at all. It is also necessary to rely on the superstitious heart of the ancients.

"This is not the ancient Shu country, but the Yellow Emperor sent someone to cast, this trunk and branch on behalf of the country, nine birds and the dragon is... It represents the belonging of the world and is more precious than the jade seals of the vassal states. If the name of the Insect Commander is known to the whole world, it will..."

"So that all the stigma can be washed away?!" Worm Da couldn't help but cheer up.

"Yes, yes, yes... Exactly. Ziying chimed in.

"But this thing was discovered by King Qin, and King Qin is the chosen one, how dare he trespass on it?" Worm is slightly more difficult.

"The Insect Commander claims to give this thing to the widow!" Ziying induced, "The commander can be regarded as carrying Liu, and Lu Pheasant may not bypass the commander." It happened that when Liu Lu was not there, and the widow was here, the insect commander discovered this thing, and at this moment, he was born with a vision, and the insect commander suddenly felt that he should abandon the darkness and turn to the light..."

Worm nodded again and again, and in his heart he also believed that the things of the ancient Shu Kingdom were not so exquisite, they must be heavenly things, and Ziying could find out "accidentally" from thousands of miles away, and his identity must be extraordinary.

"Then I will borrow the name of King Qin." Worm Da knelt down and bowed his hand, "Forgive me for trespassing!" ”

"It's time to change the name." Ziying reminded with a smile.

"Minister... See the king! ”

Zhao Ji on the side, with the soldiers on both sides on the shore, couldn't believe this scene, and surrendered to a defeated king with the commander of more than 30,000 people? With just a few words? Why?!

Zhao Ji was surprised, and secretly admired Ziying's calculations.

Ziying couldn't smile bitterly, he originally wanted to use the name of discovering the Bronze Divine Tree to buy the fame of the worm, but what really played a big role was the fire gun created by the spirit burning.

"Worm Aiqing, the widow still has important things to do, and I hope that Aiqing and Commander Li will join hands to attack Chengdu." Ziying reminded.

"The minister will never give up!"

Ziying smiled slightly, the tension along the way disappeared, the medicinal power in her body was completely exhausted, and she fell beside Zhao Ji.
