Chapter 16 What is it like to guard the land of kings?

When the Lu family entered Wancheng, they found that the residents in the city were full of energy and had plump faces, which showed that their daily life was good. After traveling through Korea for so long, such a city can be ranked first outside of the national capital of South Korea. It's just that Nanyang has become a border with Qin after losing ground in South Korea one after another.

Although Lu Pheasant thought that he could easily say that Ye Teng would surrender to Qin, he always had to inquire about the news before making a decision before visiting. The Lu family and his party temporarily lived in the hostel next to the market in the city, but what they didn't expect was that before they could find out the news, the soldiers guarding the city gate had already reported the strangeness of the Lu family and his party to the city guard's mansion.

They forgot that the soldiers they brought with them were constantly sharpened on the road, and they already had a strong army background, and Lu Pheasant didn't feel how to get along with them day and night. It's been a long time since I've seen such elite soldiers. Although this is not a time of war, spies from other countries are still being expelled.

When Guosheng brought the news of the guards that their group was secretly watched, Lu Gongcai patted his thigh in annoyance: "I forgot about this, I can't act secretly." ”

Lu Ze held the hilt of the sword in his hand, rubbed his thumb against the linen wrapped around the hilt of the sword, and said: "It's okay, we came from Daliang, and they couldn't find out anything, but at most they regarded us as envoys to the Qin State." There's nothing wrong with that. We can also inquire about the news in the city normally, and the envoys always have to collect information. ”

"Big brother has a point. We can also act as merchants of the Wei Kingdom, and see if Ye Jiaoshou comes to visit us to find out the truth. Lu Pheasant's little head nodded and agreed with Lu Ze's point of view, and then she proposed a specific implementation method.

Ye Teng had just sent Gongsun Sheng today, and he actually wanted to find some beautiful women in the city to give to him, such a ridiculous proposal he finally used his busy government affairs to shirk it. The subordinates came to report that there were uninvited guests in the city, and the guards next to the convoy behaved uniformly and well-trained, and the killing of bandits on the way brought them a strong sense of self-confidence. All of this made the guards feel a little stressed, and they were also deeply memorable.

He had to ponder what was the purpose of these people coming here at the delicate moment when he had just been demoted. He sent his men to the inn where these people were temporarily staying to inquire about the news, but he didn't want to just find out that it was a merchant from Wei who was going west to Qin.

Of course, Lu Ze ordered the guards to tell them to only reveal these people to the hostel, and not to mention anything else. Now that the initiative is in the hands of the Lu family, just like Jiang Taigong fishing, he always has to find a way to attract the fish to take the bait.

Ye Teng felt a little frustrated, and he prepared to visit the next day to see what they wanted.

He lost this game, but he didn't expect this guard to be so tightly controlled. Ordinary guards often go to the women's house to relax happily when they arrive in the city, and those who have a little self-control ability will inevitably go to the wine shop. It was strange that the family's guards were training outside the hostel, and they didn't resist.

Lu Gong was supervising the children's swordsmanship practice this morning, when a guard guarding the gate outside the courtyard came up to him and reported that someone outside the door was going to visit them. Lu Ming signaled to Lu Shizhi that they continued the interrupted practice, and he himself walked towards the courtyard gate.

When Lu Shizhi saw Lu Gong's figure go away, he exclaimed to Lu Pheasant, who was seriously practicing the little dagger on the side: "Ah Mei really attracted Ye Shou, tell me why?" ”

Seeing that Lu Shizhi was very interested at this time, he sighed and said: "Father taught us "Liutao" before, who dreamed of Zhou Gong in front of Father? ”

Lu Shizhi stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his face was flushed, and he said with some shame: "It's my fault, I thought those strategies were outdated and old, and I didn't take them to heart, I will definitely study hard in the future, and I hope that Ah Mei will teach me." ”

"Without him, it's just fishing. Our soldiers are well-trained and majestic, Ye Teng will definitely not believe that we are just ordinary businessmen, and the more curious he is, the less he can know our intentions.

Asking for it was what attracted him, and then it was our plan. Lu Pheasant calmly analyzed the plan to Lu Shizhi, causing him to stare at Lu Pheasant with adoring eyes.

"Ah Mei wants to lobby Ye Teng in person?" Lu Ze was also a little eager to try this time, and his eyes flashed with confidence.

Lu Pheasant saw Lu Ze's hopeful expression and changed his words: "Then let Ah Mei, let me see how strong my uncle is." ”

Lu Pheasant can actually feel the pressure brought to Lu Ze by his intelligence, as the eldest son who traditionally wants to inherit the family business, if he is compared with his younger siblings, he will inevitably be a little jealous. It's just that the Lu family style is very good, and Lu Ze knows that he is not as good as Lu Pheasant, and he studies harder, and even swordsmanship, which he was not very good at at the beginning, can now dance well.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the events of the previous life, Liu Ji led the villagers to oppose Qin, and Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi ran to say that they wanted to follow Liu Ji to participate in the war together. Lu Pheasant was very worried about them and wanted them to take care of their parents at home.

They said that Lu Gong thought that Liu Ji would succeed sooner or later, so he married her to that person, but that person's perverse temperament would inevitably dislike her in the future. In order to be her Olympic aid, and in order to be involved in this general trend, they had to join Liu Ji's team.

No matter what life it is, family is always the closest family. Lu Pheasant looked at Lu Ze, who was a little excited but forcibly depressed, and said: "Uncle will inherit the family business sooner or later, and it is always good to have some experience." ”

Outside the courtyard gate, Lu Gong and Ye Teng were looking at each other. Lu Pingping used to like loose robes, but now he is wearing a navy blue silk robe, with a jade hairpin tied on the top of his head, which has not been carefully carved, revealing the original lines of jade. The elegant and dusty temperament exudes from the inside out, and the eyebrows and eyes are gentle and wise.

This was out of Ye Teng's expectations, after all, the well-organized and forbidden guards who could carry with him should not be such a person. Before he came today, he deliberately changed into a more luxurious outfit, wanting to overwhelm this mysterious visitor in momentum, but he didn't want to fall into the next place.

A smile appeared on his usually serious square face and he gestured: "I am a fake guard in Nanyang, and I heard that there is a wealthy merchant of Wei State in the city, and it is inevitable that I want to get to know him, so I came uninvited." ”

Lu Gong saw that the person in front of him was similar to his own age, and he felt a little closer: "Ye Shou's name has spread throughout the country, and I have also been a friend of God for a long time." The family has been waiting for Hou Jun for a long time. Come in. ”

The two entered the courtyard rented by the Lu family one after the other, and Ye Teng noticed that the guards who were practicing in the front yard were indeed as the guards said, with extraordinary momentum and well-trained.

He hesitated for a moment, half tentatively, half admired, and said: "I have ruled the city for many years, and I have never seen such a magnificent soldier, but I don't know who trained it?" ”

Lu Gong looked back at Ye Shou, who was very curious with a bright light in his eyes, smiled and said, "Dare to ask Ye Shou to be calm and not be impatient, and talk in detail when you enter the room." ”

Lu Gong led Ye Teng into a spacious room, which had been smoked with incense in advance, and there was a faint aroma. Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant also followed them into the room, which surprised Ye Teng.

"This is my eldest son and four daughters, and the guards outside the room are all children playing with it, so it's not worth mentioning."

Lu Gong's humble words made Ye Teng think that this person was lying to him.

"I've seen Ye Shou." The two villains saluted meticulously.

"Do you have to leave the children to talk to?" Ye Teng looked at Lu Gong with some doubts and asked.

Lu Ze was signaled by Lu Pheasant's gaze, stepped forward and said, "Ye Shou knows why my family's guard order prohibits bravery?" ”

Lu Gong looked at his son approvingly, nodded and motioned for him to continue. Ye Teng couldn't help but be curious about this question: "Oh? Why? ”

"Enough food, rewards and punishments, invincible." Lu Ze thought about his own personal experience, and watched a group of unclothed slaves slowly hone into today's strong soldiers.

Lu Gong interrupted at the right time to divide the seats, he and Ye Shou sat opposite each other on the couch, and Lu Pheasant and the two sat on the side of the desk.

Ye Teng couldn't help but be a little unconvinced when he thought about it: "Please say in detail." ”

"They were just slaves in the human market at that time, and they were bought by my family. Treat each other with enough food every day to gradually strengthen the body. During the training, it is divided into two teams, the best can eat meat for the victory, and the loser can only watch. Those who do not obey orders are punished separately.

Along the way, from small-scale bandits to large groups of bandits, from two forces of war to the same color, they have been honed into this group of soldiers who are happy when they hear the war. ”

Ye Teng was a little disappointed, although such a method is easy, it cannot be implemented in the country, and South Korea has been weak for a long time and it is difficult to return. He sighed before looking at Lu Gong: "I don't know why Mr. is here?" ”

"I am a native of the countryside of Wei Kingdom, and I decided to find a place to live in peace and happiness because of the turbulent times."

"Nanyang is adjacent to the tiger Qin in the west, and I am afraid that it is not a place of peace, and the Qin country is powerful, and Nanyang is also in danger." Ye Teng thought of the crisis here and said with deep self-deprecation.

Lu Pheasant saw Ye Teng's lost appearance and took over the topic: "Ye Shou's words are different, my family does not live in Nanyang for a long time, but they are preparing to go west to Qin. ”

Although Ye Teng had expected it, he didn't want this family to be so frank, so he couldn't help but wonder: "I'm Nanyang Shou, isn't it appropriate for you to wait in my ear to talk about entering Qin?" ”

"South Korea has been defeated for many years, and now it is just a small place, and Nanyang is even more on the border. Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. It's not a good thing. Lu Pheasant looked at Ye Teng, who was frowning, and continued, "I don't know if Ye Shou guards the land of the monarch or the land of the common people?" ”

He Ye Teng thought that Lu Pheasant was just young and ignorant, and he talked about his itinerary. Now she has to face the person in front of her, even if she is a young son: "What is the land of the king? ”

"Defend the land of the king, there is no distinction between north and south, and there is no distinction between old and young. In the face of the strong Qin, there is only one servant after another, with the people under him, the white bones are the wall, and the red blood is the river. Defend the king's land to the death. ”

Ye Teng listened to the child's calm narration of the cruel war, and the destruction of the city and the death of people came to his mind, and the scorched earth and his heart throbbed. He sniffed to ease the astringency in his eyes, and asked in a dumb voice, "What about guarding the land of the common people?" ”

"Guarding the land of the common people, when the west leads to Qin, the flesh will surrender, follow the old things, and ensure the peace of a county. Only chickens and dogs smell each other, and pheasants are happy. ”

Although Ye Teng didn't get involved in the case, he also stared at Lu Gong sternly: "Saying that I surrendered to Qin, could it be that I am a spy of the Qin people?" ”
