"Okay, I'll wait for good news."

This matter is indeed a big deal, so it is understandable that people should discuss it with their ministers, although Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai are very anxious about this matter, but they also know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.

Although what they are talking about now is all out of the blue, it seems that they have been carefully planned and deployed a long time ago, but they themselves know that these behaviors of theirs are completely the behavior of hanging and piercing the ears and eyes, and they don't know what to do after the flickering over there, so they will fool this side as a fait accompli, so they naturally can't show any panic, the more calm they are, the easier it is to make Antiochus III believe.

Soon, they were sent to the post house in the Seleucid City, Zhao Hu and Qi Yi were anxiously waiting at this time, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that these two people came back safe and sound.

"Sir, how is this going?"

Zhao Hu glanced at the black shadow flickering outside the window and asked in a very subtle voice.

After Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai glanced at each other, neither of them spoke directly, but nodded slightly.

Obviously, at this time, Antiochus III will definitely monitor them closely, in case they accidentally tell their old bottom in the conversation, it is estimated that this matter is enough to choke, although they speak the Great Qin dialect, but the Great Qin people have already reached the Mauryan Dynasty, who can guarantee that Antiochus III did not study the language of the Great Qin?

A few people asked for a sumptuous meal in the post house, ate a meal to themselves, and then pretended to be tired from the journey and fell asleep in the room of the post house, looking at the posture, as if waiting for it would definitely be a good result.

And Antiochus III was just as they had expected, sending people to spy on them to see if they were fooling themselves, and on the other hand, he was secretly discussing this matter with a few of his cronies.

In fact, before the discussion, Antiochus III's heart had already shown a little signs of loosening, and this matter was definitely a golden opportunity for him.

On the issue of identity, he believed that there was no need for Hu Hai and his party to lie, so when they arrived at their own territory, they would never take the initiative to expose their identities and cause trouble to Seleu when the time was not ripe, because after their identities were exposed, no matter what Seleucus did, they would be the ones who finished the calf first.

And how many assets and wealth the high-ranking castes of the Mauryan Dynasty held in their hands, Antiochus III knew too well in his heart, if Hu Hai and they could really take advantage of the plague during this period of Great Qin and Xiongnu armies to be exhausted and secretly transport these resources to Seleuc, it would be a lot of wealth for Seleuc, with this wealth, Seleucus could gather a lot of troops, which was also very huge for the improvement of Seleu's strength.

"Do you think it's worth it for me Seleuc?"

After explaining the matter to his cronies, Antiochus III began to ask questions.

"If the person who claims to be the prince of Great Qin can really transport those people and resources they said to my Seleucid territory, it doesn't hurt to lend them the city where there are not many people and there are frequent wars, once the Huns come, their army will attack first, and it is good to be able to resist for a while."

"Yes, no matter what, I, Seleuc, should still get those resources and wealth first, and then talk about other things, otherwise when Daqin occupies those places, these riches will fall into the hands of Daqin, which will not be good."

"I also think so, with the ability of those few people, I don't dare to deceive my Seleuc Dynasty, if you offend my Seleuc again, no force around this Peacock Dynasty will dare to accept them!"

Antiochus III received almost all of these opinions, after all, this matter did not require the Seleuces to contribute money or the efforts of the Seleus, but only to temporarily cede a city on the border.

Moreover, this city is also under the control of the Seleuces at any time, and their movements in the city can be seen by Antiochus III at any time, and they will not be allowed to play any tricks.

"Good! Since you all think so, promise them this thing tomorrow, so that they can hurry up and operate this matter, otherwise it will be delayed, even if what they say is true, those things will not be beautiful in the territory of the Mauryan Empire. ”

Antiochus III was still very efficient, this side decided on this matter, and the other side sent someone to inform Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, and asked them to set off tomorrow to transport all those men and materials over, and if there was no discrepancy with what they said, Seleucus would sign an alliance with Hu Hai, and then lend the border city to Hu Hai to manage, but there was one thing, when they went, Qi Yi and several other women were to be left in the post house of the Seleucid capital, obviously, it was also a restriction for them.

For this kind of restriction, Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng don't care much about it, after all, they don't plan to run away, do they?

With the approval of Antiochus III, their journey to Seleucus was not all smooth sailing, and first of all, the two patriarchs of the high castes in the Mauryan city did not know how far they had been entrusted.

In their haste they had only come up with a target of at least 30,000 men, and if there were only a few thousand by the time they arrived, it would have been embarrassing to have brought them to Seleuc, for they would certainly not be able to hold any of the cities.

There is another difficulty, that is, at this time, all the people of the Peacock Dynasty who were in trouble a few days ago were panicking, and the epidemic has begun to slowly dissipate after many people have died, and the epidemic has dissipated, which means that the cavalry and officials of Great Qin will begin to receive the cities that have not been received before, if they can't transfer these people to the territory of Seleu before them, it will definitely be blocked by Great Qin's cavalry on the road.

Under the constraints of these conditions, Hu Hai, Zhao Cheng, and Zhao Hu rode their horses all the way from Seleuc, and went directly to the city they had arranged before.

And at this time, the patriarchs of the two high-ranking caste families of the Peacock Dynasty were also worried in their hearts, because according to the time limit set for them when Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai came, it was already time for them to come back to pick up the centaurs he raised, but Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai did not come back.

These two people first sent people to the adjacent city controlled by people of the high caste to tell those people about it, but they didn't expect that these guys, who were already like ants on a hot pot, didn't go to verify this matter at all, and they also felt that if they didn't leave, they would be enough to choke in this place, so they directly took advantage of the night to take mercenaries one by one to drive a carriage and a carriage of property directly to this city.

One to ten, ten to hundred, in a month's time, the city that was already deserted turned out to be more lively than when there were the most people in this city before.

Now the two patriarchs who are the hosts are worried, for no other reason, there is no impermeable wall in this world, they still know this truth, so many people have run into their city at once, it won't take long for the generals of Daqin to know, and once the generals of Daqin know, not to mention anything else, as soon as they arrive, they will have to be served in a pot, especially the two culprits, that life will definitely not be able to live, and even how to die is estimated that they can't decide.

Seeing that the days passed day by day, these two eldest brothers comforted these impatient companions who were already waiting a little, and at the same time prayed in their hearts that this younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor was not a big liar, if that was the case, the two of them would be lost here in vain.

Fortunately, on the third day of the timeout, three fast horses appeared outside the city, and the two patriarchs looked at the city wall, and they were about to jump up with joy, not to mention anything else, this prince of Daqin will definitely not be a liar, right?

After entering the city, according to Hu Hai and Zhao Cheng's orders, the two patriarchs did not make a noise, but first let the three of them into a mansion.

"In the rest of this month, how many people have you gathered, is it at least 30,000 according to what I said before?"

This is the main concern of Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai, according to what they and Antiochus III have explained, the number of people must be at least enough, otherwise the ghost will believe that you can defend the city on the Seleucid border.

"The two of us have lived up to expectations this month, not only completed the prince's task, but also exceeded the quota, just the mercenaries who are willing to follow the prince out of the Peacock Dynasty have reached more than 30,000, plus the clansmen of the upper castes, it is already approaching 50,000."

As soon as they heard this, Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai glanced at each other, and both of them were secretly relieved, there were more than 30,000 mercenaries alone, which basically met their daily defense requirements on the border, and with the guarantee of this number, basically Antiochus III would smoothly agree to them.

"Why would those mercenaries want to go with us? Have you told them that when you get to that point, there won't be so much commission, and you can only ensure their daily food and clothing, and you have to obey my command, if you don't agree, it's too late to quit now. ”

In the face of these high-ranking castes of the Peacock Dynasty, Zhao Cheng still looks like he is immortal, but the more he is like this, the easier it is for these guys who have become frightened birds to kneel and lick.

"I've already told those mercenaries about this, but according to them, they are willing to leave the Mauryan Dynasty and go wherever they want."

Because Great Qin has already let out the wind, the Peacock Dynasty under the rule of Great Qin does not allow the existence of mercenaries, if it is not disbanded within the time limit, it will be dealt with in accordance with the Qin law that violates Great Qin, and now these mercenaries are still providing force to the families of the upper castes, obviously violating the Qin law of Great Qin, they are naturally afraid that once they are really caught by the Great Qin people, their lives will be guaranteed, so as soon as they heard that there is such an opportunity to leave the Peacock Dynasty, they all rushed to express their willingness to go together.

"Go and tell the people of the upper castes that when you get your destination, there will be a city for you to live in for the time being, but most of your wealth and resources will be given to me, and I will keep you clothed and clothed in that city, and then you will wait for the day when you return to the Mauryan Empire. If someone isn't happy, it's not too late to quit, and if something happens on the way out, don't blame me for being rude! ”

Zhao Cheng is obviously saying ugly things in front, which also shows how difficult it is for him to do this.

"Please rest assured, we have already told those people about this, as long as we can take them to a place outside of Great Qin to live a stable life, they are all willing."

"Good! Then without further ado, we will organize people to set off tonight, we must avoid the inspection of Daqin and Xiongnu on the way, if the departure is late and the news is leaked, it will be a situation of losing everything. ”

Zhao Cheng gave an order, and the two patriarchs hurriedly went to organize the people to set off happily, and being able to escape from the Peacock Dynasty under the rule of Great Qin made their hearts bloom, and they couldn't wait for the dark to set off in the next second.

In this way, after Zhao Cheng and Hu Hai endured for an unknown number of years, the two of them finally had the men and horses they could lead in this unfamiliar territory, but what made Hu Hai feel a little ironic was that he relied on the identity of the younger brother of the Great Qin Emperor.

Indeed, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the gathering of people of the upper castes in a city has long been seen by many people of the lower castes, and of course they know that it is not a good thing for these people to gather in a city.

So the people who had good things happened rushed to a city occupied by the Great Qin people, and told the officials in the city about it, and the officials also felt that this matter was not small, and after a few days, this matter reached the ears of Lu Jia and Meng Tian.

"These people of the high-ranking caste of the Peacock Dynasty, because Great Qin has canceled their privileges in this land, they will definitely not be willing to do this, and now that there is such an gathering, I am afraid that there will be some turmoil!"

Lu Jia didn't connect this matter with Hu Hai, but he just felt that such a gathering was not good, and it would affect Great Qin's acceptance of the land and cities of the Mauryan Empire.

"It's okay, I'll send someone to the city tomorrow to have a look, and we'll find out in a few days."
