Chapter 550: The Instigator (First Update)
At this time, the initiators of the plague this time, that is, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng and others, had already settled in a barren mountain not far from the sea of the Mauryan Dynasty.
They had been going to crowded places before, wanting to see what the state of the Peacock Dynasty was at this time, but after walking a short distance, they found a problem, the state of the dead people on their ship actually appeared on the land of the Peacock Dynasty, which was repaid, this is obviously their own group to pass on this problem.
Fortunately, a few of them and a few of their cronies who stayed by their side were really fine, so they had to give up the plan to go to a crowded place first, wanting to wait until the matter was over, so they found a place that was inaccessible, with trees and water, and used their experience of living in the woods on the outskirts of Xiangjun to temporarily settle down in this place.
During this time, they had a very hard time, and the food stored on the ship before was actually enough for them to hold on for a long time, but because of the inexplicable illness of those people before, they all discarded the food in the ship, and did not bring out a single bit.
Fortunately, they didn't have many personnel this time, only Hu Hai and his wife, Zhao Cheng and the two women he carried, Zhao Hu, and then there were four wrestlers who had been following Zhao Hu since Xiangjun.
Zhao Hu and the four wrestlers naturally took on the hard work of finding out the news and preparing food, the fish and shrimp in the river, the fruits on the trees, and the rabbits and antelopes running on the ground all became their food, and more than two months passed in a blink of an eye, although it was quite difficult to survive, but there was no problem in surviving.
On this day, Zhao Hu, who went out to inquire about the news, came back and brought back a news that surprised them very much.
"The ship I was on when I came here has already been burned down by the generals of Great Qin?"
"Yes, I was in the vicinity that day, and I saw a raging fire burning at the place where we had landed, and smoke rising into the sky, and when I came to the vicinity, I realized that it was a small group of men and horses who had set the ship on which we were riding, and did not leave until it was burned out. I think it's because of the plague. ”
"Since they have discovered the ship, most of them already know that I have waited here, from now on, I am afraid that we will be more careful to hide our whereabouts, otherwise after being discovered by the generals of Great Qin, I am afraid that we will have no power to fight back."
As soon as Hu Hai heard that the ship he was on had been discovered by the generals of Great Qin, he sighed deeply.
He knew that the three counties of Lingnan had been looking for him, and he had already concluded that he would be discovered by Liu Wei and others soon after leaving, and once the news of the discovery of the Great Qin ship here was transmitted back to Xianyang City, Yi Yinggao's mind would definitely feel that he had arrived in the Peacock Dynasty, so the next step was naturally to arrange people to find himself within the scope of the Peacock Dynasty.
"Childe, don't worry, I've already inquired about it, because this epidemic is really spreading very widely in the Peacock Dynasty, so it has caused panic, and now the generals and officials of Great Qin must have used their manpower on this epidemic, we are safe for the time being, when this epidemic is gone, when they are afraid that they will remember me."
In terms of familiarity with the Peacock Dynasty, Hu Hai is still far inferior to Zhao Hu, during this time, through his own observation, Zhao Hu has basically determined the severity of this epidemic, but he does not understand the language here, which has caused him a lot of trouble to investigate.
"Having said that, it's time for us to take precautions, the next time you go to the vicinity of the village, pick a lone person to arrest and bring back, and we should study their language carefully, otherwise how can we develop the scale of our group in this strange realm?"
Zhao Cheng, who didn't speak much on the side, thought of this problem at this time, the language spoken by the people of the Peacock Dynasty sounded like some muttering words to them, and they didn't know what it meant, and now they saw that their whereabouts were about to be controlled by the generals of Great Qin, of course, they also wanted to know what these words meant quickly.
"This matter is easy to do, I will leave tonight, and I can catch one tomorrow!"
Zhao Hu is a martial artist, if there are no weak people like Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng who fall to their feet, they are characters who cross the world, this little meaning of stealing chickens and touching dogs, it is nothing to him at all, it is just a matter of running the road.
"Wait, it's better to catch a younger woman back, isn't it anything else, the body is also light, and the food consumed is less, isn't it?"
After Zhao Cheng finished saying this, he was also a little embarrassed and laughed a few times, everyone else knew what this guy was thinking about, but no one broke it.
Zhao Hu also nodded when he heard this, although Zhao Cheng's previous words were just a fool, but the truth is really like this, catching a young woman back must be more powerful than catching a big man back, isn't it?
And for Zhao Cheng, he understands, in order to avenge Zhao Gao, although he hid in Xianyang City, but he didn't enjoy the things in Xianyang City, the things that he ate and drank were okay to say, the most important thing is women, a few years of life without women made Zhao Cheng what he is now, Zhao Hu can understand.
After everyone ate a few big grilled fish, Zhao Hu went to look for people, the four guards were sleeping, and Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng were sitting on the ground in front of a small bonfire at this time, obviously, there were some things that they needed to start discussing.
"Childe, now that I have reached the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, the situation here is not optimistic, and the generals of Great Qin have learned the news that I am waiting here, what should I do after that, I still have to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Although Zhao Cheng thinks of women from time to time in his heart, he has always been in front of the line, and now that he has received the news that their warship has been discovered by the generals of Great Qin, he knows in his heart that they must start to make a move, otherwise what awaits them can only be the rolling of the generals of Great Qin.
Zhao Cheng knew that the reason why Hu Hai was able to follow him to this place where birds don't was because he wanted to make some movement in this strange realm, and even from a certain point of view, Hu Hai's mood should be stronger than his own, plus Hu Hai's head was still very lively, so he naturally wanted to discuss it with Hu Hai.
"Yes, although there is an epidemic on this realm at this time, but for us, it has to be said that it is an opportunity, this epidemic is to make the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty very difficult, even if they want to wait for us in the short term, I am afraid that they will not have the energy, so I have to find our place of residence and destiny within this period of time, and develop, otherwise this barren mountains and mountains, once discovered by the Great Qin army, it is almost a situation of inescapability."
Hu Hai's analysis of the current situation they are in is already very reliable, Zhao Cheng nodded again and again when he heard it, but then his brows all furrowed, obviously, he thought of something more difficult.
"Having said that, but this time the epidemic has scared all the people around here to the point that they don't know where to go, if we want to succeed, the first thing is to recruit manpower, but according to the current situation, I'm afraid that manpower can't be solved."
"Sir, don't think about it like this, when Zhao Hu finds a person from the Peacock Dynasty, we can naturally learn more things, not only can we learn the language of the Peacock Dynasty, but more importantly, the situation of the Peacock Dynasty and its surroundings, all of which can be learned from this person's mouth, in my opinion, since I have reached such a point, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue in the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, I will wait for this time, I am afraid that after a certain period of forbearance, find a place where the generals of Daqin can not find and develop secretly, It's the king! ”
"Oh? Now that the Peacock Dynasty has all been occupied by Great Qin, according to Zhao Hu's previous speculation, within a few months, this place will also be controlled by Great Qin, and we will have the face of a Great Qin people, if the generals of Great Qin want to find out us, it is very easy, although this realm is large, but where can we go? ”
"Sir, don't say that, in Daqin's Xiang County, in order to avoid being chased and killed by Brother Fusu and others, we were able to find the depths of the dense forest, and now on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, it is said that in addition to the vast sea, there are many small dynasties bordering it, these dynasties were silent about the Peacock Dynasty before, but now the Peacock Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not time for them to be afraid, they don't know much about Daqin, there, is where we should go."
Although Hu Hai's rhetoric is righteous and righteous, but Zhao Cheng is not stupid, he knows Hu Hai's suggestions, in other words, they have to hurry up and prepare to run, they can't stay here anymore, as for where to run, there must be no place for them within the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, and if you want to run, you can only run to the surrounding small countries.
"Alas, the matter has come to this, I really have to do what Childe said!"
Zhao Cheng didn't have a better place to go in his heart, so he could only sigh slightly, and was ready to do what Hu Hai said.
When they were planning here, Lu Jia's news had already arrived on Yinggao's table, and this time Lu Jia reported only two things, one was the source of the plague, Lu Jia had been able to determine it after personal search, and he basically told Yinggao what he saw along the way, and he also wanted Yinggao, who knew far more than him in his heart, to judge whether he had found the root cause of the plague this time.
There is also a more important thing, which is naturally to inform Ying Gao that the evidence that Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng, who he had never found before, arrived at the Peacock Dynasty, and now he has finally found it because of this plague.
And unfortunately, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng obviously had successfully landed on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty according to Lu Jia's speculation, and then disappeared into the vast land of the Peacock Dynasty, and for a while Lu Jia couldn't spare his hands to search for them on a large scale.
"Alas, Hu Hai, this guy, really still has some courage, it's a pity that I haven't found out in the palace all these years, if I can discover his ability as soon as possible, and enable him as soon as possible, if I don't get it right, I can become the second Fusu, but now it's obviously useless."
Ying Gao looked at the letter in his hand, and felt very sorry for Hu Hai's development into what he is today, he always thought that Hu Hai was just a playful gentleman, so he has always been according to the things that this image needs to make Hu Hai's life as easy as possible, but now it seems that people obviously need not these things from beginning to end.
In such a situation, if you give him these more, it can only play a bad role, making Hu Hai's resentment towards himself deeper and deeper, and now, obviously, the relationship between him and Hu Hai has reached this point.
Sigh and sigh, but Yinggao understands in his heart that at this point, there is no possibility of adjusting the relationship between himself and Hu Hai, since he sent someone to assassinate him, Hu Hai's life has been drawn by him in advance, and it is only a matter of time.
These two things are naturally light and serious, and Hu Hai is certainly a big problem for Yinggao at present, but he can't override the plague.
Now, although according to Lu Jia's report and Yinggao's speculation, the source of the plague should have been discovered and destroyed by Lu Jia, but the spread is still continuing, although there will be a weakening process of transmission, but before this process is completed, there will be many people of the Peacock Dynasty who will die, in this case, the burden on Lu Jia and Meng Tian and others is still very heavy.
So in the reply letter to Lu Jia, Yinggao also temporarily asked Lu Jia to make every effort to solve the epidemic problem this time, and then talk about Hu Hai, after all, such a big Peacock Dynasty, it is not easy for Hu Hai and the three or four of them to hide it.
The plague happened on the territory of the Peacock Dynasty, and the matter was brought over because Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng and others went to the Peacock Dynasty without permission, and almost no one in the entire Great Qin knew about it except for Yinggao, and Yinggao also gave a gag order to Lu Jia in his reply.
This matter is like a time bomb, once someone mentions it in the future when the Peacock Dynasty and Great Qin have been fused together, it will definitely be a heavy blow to the trust of the people of the Peacock Dynasty in Great Qin, such a situation is definitely what Yinggao does not want to see, so some things are destined to be secrets, whether it is for Hu Hai or Yinggao.
