The distance from Tancheng to Dongmenque is not too far, about three hundred miles.

If you hurry up, you can get there in a day and a half. But Qin Man and the others walked for more than four days.

It's not so much a rush as it is a play. I don't know if Qin Man did it deliberately, or because of the little daughter's heart, she stopped and stopped along the way. No matter what I see, I can't help but ask a few words, and sometimes I simply don't leave, stopping and resting.

Maybe......

Although the scenery of Bashu is beautiful, it is different from the scenery of this Donghai County after all.

In Liu Kan's opinion, no matter how clever and shrewd Qin Man is, she is just a little girl who is only one year older than herself. When I walked out of Bashu for the first time, everything I saw was novel, and it was normal to walk slowly. Anyway, there is nothing to do, and Liu Kan himself is not in a hurry.

But in Lu Shizhi's eyes, it doesn't seem to be like that!

"Letter, look at that Miss Man, have you taken a fancy to Brother Kan?"

Wang Xin scratched his head and asked confusedly, "What do you mean by falling in love with Brother Kan?" Are you talking about the master? Don't we watch him every day? ”

Forget it, knowing that this is a stupid boy, I still have to discuss such a serious matter with him.

Lu Shizhi waved his hand and looked ahead with a heavy heart. In the past two days, Miss Man always likes to discuss poetry with Brother Kan.

But his heart ...... It doesn't seem good.

No, I have to be a little more careful, don't let the second sister suffer. In case Miss Man and Brother Kan hook up, what should the second sister do?

Thinking of this, Lu Shizhi coughed.

"Faith, I'll sing a song, would you like to join it?"

Along the way, there is desolation and silence. The blue sky and white clouds are also refreshing.

Wang Xinli nodded, "Okay, okay, you sing it." Me and it. ”

Lu Shizhi cleared his throat and opened his mouth to sing.

"Picking and curling ears, not full baskets. I am pregnant with people, (sound zh, four tones) Bi Zhou Xing (sound han, two tones). 陟 (音zh. Four tones) Bi Cui Wei, I Ma Yu (sound hu, one tone) (sound tu, two tones). I'll take care of Pekkin (sound 1ei, two tones), and I don't embrace it. Zhibi Gaogang, I Ma Xuanhuang. I'll take care of the other (pronounced gon. One sound), and Wei Yi will not be injured forever. 陟 Bi (sound ju sound) 矣, I horse (sound tu two sounds). My servant (sound pu) is here, and the clouds are calling. ”

What Lu Shizhi sang is one of the "Book of Songs-Zhou Nan", called Curly Ear.

This is a poem about a wife who misses her husband who traveled far away, and expresses her longing for her husband through the imagination of a woman with curly ears.

I have to say that Lu Shizhi's singing voice is indeed good, and his voice is clear. Supplemented by Wang Xin's slightly childish harmony. More pleasing to the ear.

Liu Kan heard clearly in front of him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

And Qin Man's face changed. Turning his head to look at Lu Shizhi, Lu Shizhi was so frightened that he immediately closed his mouth.

This little girl's eyes are so sharp, and they are so sharp that Lu Shi's heart chills. But then, Qin Man's face flushed, and he pretended to talk to Liu Kan for a while with a calm expression, and rode back to his team. But when he was leaving, he glared at Lu Shi again.

In any case, Lu Shizhi's song did have an effect.

After a period of time, Qin Man did not take the initiative to talk to Liu Kan again, and the degree of travel quietly accelerated.

In this regard, Lu Shizhi was still very proud in his heart. I began to think about it all day, and after returning to the building, how to find the second sister to receive the reward.

On the evening of the fifth day, Liu Kan and his entourage arrived at Qishan.

The slanting sun is red, shining on the earth.

Qin Man ordered people to pack their bags on the hour and set up camp by the riverside. At the same time, he took a group of followers and galloped out on horseback to survey the terrain.

Liu Kan did not have an entourage, and after the tent was set down, he stayed in the camp and looked through the volume of "Wei Xuanzi" left by Tang Li. {First reading} has become a habit for him now. As long as there is nothing going on, I will sit down and look at it.

As for trivial matters, Lu Shizhi and Wang Xin take care of it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

When it was time for dinner, Qin Man came back from exploring the terrain, and gathered his retainers to gather in the big tent to discuss things, but did not show up again.

Unconsciously, the moon is on the willow tops.

After days of running, Lu Shizhi leaned on the couch at the door of the tent and fell asleep. Wang Xin was also napping, but Liu Kan didn't sleep, and he wasn't in a hurry to sleep. Leaning against the bookcase, his head little by little, looks very interesting. Liu Kan put down the scroll and stretched. Untied the big dazor and draped it on Lu Shizhi's body, and then gently pushed Wang Xin: "Letter, if you are sleepy, go to sleep." ”

"Master, you haven't rested, and you can't sleep."

"Then go out for a walk with me?"

Liu Kan spoke, put the scroll away, and walked out of the tent with Wang Xin.

There was a bonfire burning in the camp, and most of the disciples were asleep. A few of the guards in charge of the night vigil leaned against the gate of the camp and snoozed.

Standing in the center of the camp, you can feel the sea breeze coming from a distance, with a long-lost fishy smell, which makes Liu Kan feel refreshed.

The last time I smelled the sea breeze, it was in a previous life.

After living in this era for a few years, Liu Kan almost forgot about this taste.

Turning his head to look, he saw a light shining in Qin Man's tent. He couldn't help but stop with some curiosity, turned and walked over there.

This little girl is indeed very serious when she does things.

Tomorrow morning, the terrain will be carefully surveyed, and how to get to this time, there is no rest.

As he was walking, Liu Kan suddenly stopped. In the moment just now, he seemed to see a dark shadow that flashed in the camp and disappeared in an instant.

"Letter, do you see?"

Wang Xin nodded, "Behind Miss Man's tent." ”

"Go find Shiyuki and bring your weapons!"

Liu Kan said, striding towards the camp. Wang Xin didn't say much, turned around and ran back.

As soon as he lifted the curtain of the camp tent, Liu Kan walked into the Qin Mandi incense tent. There were butter candles burning in the tent, and Qin Man was concentrating on the bookcase, looking at the map. Raising his head and seeing Liu Kan coming in, Qin Man couldn't help but be stunned. Pink and red.

was about to open his mouth, but saw Liu Kan put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.

Then, he gently picked up the copper placed in the corner of the tent, and raised his hand to signal Qin Man to walk to the middle of the tent.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Qin Man also knew that the situation was not good. Get up slowly. Raise his legs high, lightly drop his feet, and at the same time slowly pull out the short sword, and walk behind Liu Kandi, facing the tent curtain, with his back against Liu Kan's back. Heartbeat...... Suddenly added.

This girl is really clever.

You actually know to cover for me. A character indeed.

Liu Kan took a deep breath, and suddenly took two steps forward, and let out a thunderous roar from his mouth, with a trace of blue light afterimage. The exhalation penetrated the cowhide tent. Just listen to the hissing sound. Huge impact. I tear the cowhide toughly. I clearly felt that the copper seemed to have touched something, but it was definitely not pierced by people.

I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, it's not bad for someone to stretch out his hand...... After the copper stab, Liu Kan suddenly stepped back and pulled back the rod.

At the same time, the cowhide tent was torn, and a heavy bronze rod peeked in.

The bronze stick was oval hammer-shaped at one end, and there was a short, flat blade two feet long on the hammer head. stabbed at Liu Kan with the sound of the wind.

Fortunately, it was Liu Kan who took a step back. Otherwise, it's really dangerous. The copper seemed to have life in Liu Kan's hands, and the ground turned around. Liu Kan grabbed the rod with both hands and collapsed outward. With a bang, the bronze stick was shattered, but it didn't end there. A stout and burly figure stepped into the camp tent, and with a turn of the bronze stick, he swept through the thousands of troops with one move and smashed over.

"Stop!"

From the moment the bronze stick appeared, Liu Kan felt familiar.

When he saw the person coming clearly, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart and shouted. At the same time, the copper was blocked horizontally in his hand, and he crossed the stream to chase the tiger with one move, and he deserved to hit the opponent with a blow. Liu Kan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Yu, it's me...... I'm Liu Kan...... Hurry up and stop. ”

The person who came, it was Zhong Lifu.

He also saw Liu Kan clearly at this time, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He stepped back and put away the bronze stick, and was about to speak, but he heard a commotion outside the tent, accompanied by the sound of weapons colliding with the ground. Liu Kan pulled Qin Man behind him, "Don't speak!" ”

Qin Man's center of the earth was thumping. However, when he heard Liu Kan's voice, he suddenly calmed down again.

"Brother Huh, is it your person outside?"

"Cangling, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? Didn't I tell you that the Bashu Qin family and I came to explore the East Gate Que, and we only arrived here today.

Whatever misunderstanding we have, how about we stop for a while?

Otherwise, whoever you hurt will be afraid that it will be difficult to explain. ”

It's only been a few days, and Zhong Liwu looks much older, and his eyes are bloodshot. He looked at Liu Kan vigilantly and hesitated, "Cang Ling, did you really arrive today?" ”

"Nonsense, I didn't see a small oil bottle dragging here, slowly...... If it weren't for her, I would have arrived. ”

Qin Man's eyes widened, and he poked Liu Kan fiercely with the hilt of his sword, which means to say: Who did you just say is the little oil bottle?

Zhong Liwu nodded, and strode towards the outside of the tent.

Liu Kan protected Qin Man with one hand, and walked out at the same time as Zhong Liwu. At this time, the camp was already in chaos, and dozens of people who were dressed like Zhong Liwu were young and strong, and they were entangled with Qin Mandi's guards. Knives and guns collide, ping pong, it's very lively.

"Baqiang is attached, stop it all!"

Qin Man shouted first, and gave an order in the local dialect with a thick Bashu accent.

At the same time, Zhong Liwu also shouted, "Yilu Tan people, stop, stop, it's a misunderstanding, don't fight!" ”

As they spoke, the two sides quickly separated. The two sides took Qin Man's military tent as the dividing line, one left and one right, and watched each other vigilantly.

One person from each side ran out.

"What's going on? Why did you stop all of a sudden? ”

Over there, Qin Man's retainers also stepped forward and asked, "Miss Man, what's going on with these people?" Burst in...... If it weren't for the young master and the young master of Shizhi, we would have suffered a big loss. ”

"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"

Qin Man explained in a low voice. As for what the misunderstanding was, she didn't know.

However, since that hateful order was said to be a misunderstanding, then it should be regarded as a misunderstanding.

Fortunately, there were no casualties on both sides, and the matter was manageable. The one on the side of Zhong Lifu. Some people also recognized Liu Kan and explained softly to the people around him. However, it seems that the explanation is not very strong, and some people's eyes are still hostile.

"Cangling, I'm really sorry. We...... In short, it was a misunderstanding, and we went first. ”

Zhong Liwu wanted to leave.

But at this time, how could Liu Kan let him go.

He was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to win over Zhong Lifu. I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come!

"Brother Yu, what happened?" Liu Kan grabbed Zhong Li's arm. "If it's convenient, you might as well let me know. Maybe there's something else we can do to help you. ”

"This ......"

Zhong Li hesitated, but Qin Man was unhappy.

"The eldest husband is cooler. Don't spit out. We are being attacked by you for no reason. Didn't say anything to investigate. If you want to say it, you can say it, and if you don't want to say it, you can leave. ”

The little girl is also sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and she speaks with a Bashu dialect accent.

Zhong Liwu suddenly became angry, "What don't you dare to say?" If it weren't for your old Qin raiding our Yilu Township, how could I attack your camp? ”

"Old Qin raided Yilu Township?"

Liu Kan and Qin Man glanced at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "How is this possible!" ”

"How could it be!"

Zhong Li's face showed anger. "More than 20 people died in my township. You also snatched eleven children...... These are all seen by the villagers with their own eyes, how can I believe it? Words of unbelief. Ask them if that's the case. ”

Killed people and snatched eleven children?

Liu Kan was puzzled, "Old Qin's law and discipline are strict, although Donghai County is new, but this kind of thing can't happen." ”

Zhong Liwu said: "But the problem is that he is indeed born!" ”

"Brother Hu, let's enter the tent and speak. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, to put it mildly, if it is really my old Qin's doing, with your dozens of people, you will also be sent to death in the past. You explain the matter to me in detail, and I will listen to it, and maybe I can help you. ”

"This ......"

Zhong Liwu hesitated for a moment, then walked over and discussed it with the other locals.

Then he turned around, "Okay, let's go into the tent." ”

"Wait for all the bills to be paid!"

At Liu Kan's suggestion, Qin Man shouted the order. The Qin family retreated into their tents one after another, leaving only the Yilutan people to occupy the empty camp.

In this way, sufficient sincerity has been demonstrated.

Zhong Liwu also relieved his heart, and waved his hand to signal Tan Ren to put down his weapon.

He followed Liu Kan and Qin Man into the military tent, and at the door of the military tent, in addition to Qin Man's four cronies and retainers, only Wang Xin and Lu Shizhi were left.

Sitting down in the big tent, Zhong Liwu explained the cause and effect.

It turned out that after they came out of Tan County that day, they went home.

The 300-mile road takes at least two days on foot. In addition, there was no major incident, so I stopped and stopped until the early hours of this morning to rush home to the park. But who would have thought that when I went home, I would take a look...... The homeland is in ruins. The house is collapsed, the walls are in ruins, and it is not desolate.

When Zhong Liwu saw this scene, he was immediately confused.

It wasn't until noon that 66 survivors returned.

When I asked, it turned out that in the evening of yesterday, a group of Qin troops suddenly arrived, saying that they were looking for boys and girls born in a certain month and brought to Langyatai. These Qin troops are just like fierce gods, and the Yilu people naturally won't be willing, so the Qin army didn't say a word, and grabbed it. The Ilu tried to stop them, but the Qin army used their weapons. After hacking dozens of people to death, they snatched the children of the village.

Before leaving, a fire burned Iru......

Zhong Liwu immediately led people to chase after him, but he broke into the Qin family's camp like a ghost.

It is no wonder that the flag used by the Qin family is quite similar to the black dragon flag of the Qin army. But if you look closely, you can see the difference. The flag of the Qin family, although it is black, is a unicorn pattern. Just in the night, watching from afar. Didn't see the difference.

Liu Kan listened a little inexplicably on the sidelines.

"Miss Man, do you know which Qin army is doing this?"

Qin Man shook his head and said, "It can't be the old Qin army, the old Qin army has strict military discipline, which is extraordinary." As far as I know, the old Qin army stationed in Donghai County was on the front line of Lanling and Fuyang. It is located between Donghai, Langya, Xue County and Surabaya County. Without the four counties guarding the tiger talisman, it would be impossible to mobilize. In addition, the Qin army that is active everywhere is the new Qin army, not the old Qin

"New Qin Army?"

"It's the Qin army, which is composed of people from the Six Kingdoms...... You also know that before His Majesty swept through the Six Kingdoms, Lao Qin's soldiers were only 600,000. Now. There were 100,000 garrisons in Guanzhong and about 300,000 in border counties. After conquering Baiyue, he mobilized 200,000 old Qin troops, if he did not form a new army. How can we ensure safety everywhere? It should be the so-called of the new Qin army. To Langya...... Langya? Could it be that they did it? ”

Liu Kan and Zhong Liwu hurriedly asked, "Who?" Who did it? ”

"Langya Terrace. People who are ready to go to sea to find the three islands of Penglai ......"

"Xu Shi (Yinfu)?"

Liu Kan was stunned, "Didn't he already go to sea?" Why haven't you started yet? ”

Qin Man seemed to hesitate a little, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said, "Your Majesty is now obsessed with the way of immortals, vainly seeking the elixir of immortality.

Naxu City was originally a famous monk in this Qilu land, so he said that there were immortals in Penglai, and he could ask for the elixir of immortality.

To go to Penglai, you need 3,000 boys and 3,000 virgins as gifts to sacrifice to the immortals...... My ancestors have always disagreed with his approach. and even admonished His Majesty. But it sank like a stone into the sea. Your Majesty's side...... There are villains. Even the ancestors of the family have no way to persuade His Majesty.

But it's strange to say. Since the beginning of last year, Xu Shi tried to go to sea three times, but they were all swept back to Langyatai by wind and waves.

3,000 boys and girls, with countless dead and wounded...... Presumably, because of this, Xu Shi recruited again, searching everywhere for children who met his required age. ”

Three trips to the sea, unsuccessful?

This seems to be a bit different from the situation in history.

Liu Kan doesn't know much about Xu City, that is, the people who were called Xu Fudi in later generations. What was the fate of the boys and girls he took away? Liu Kan is also unclear. It is rumored that the 3,000 boys and girls were left to fend for themselves in the Ryukyus by the city of Xu.

Some people say that Xu Shi is an adventurer.

Some people say that Xu Fu is a conspirator......

Anyway, there are different opinions, and it is not clear in a mess.

Even, why would he do such a thing? No one knows either. In this world, there may really be immortals, but they are by no means visible to ordinary people. The real purpose of Xu Fu's going to sea is really to seek the elixir of immortality? I'm afraid that it may not be, so what is it?

When Liu Kan heard about this, he was far away in Pei County, and he was powerless to stop it.

But now, when he saw Zhong Liwu mention the old Qin people, he gritted his teeth, and seemed to understand something all of a sudden.

Xu City is provoking the people of the six countries in the Kanto region to hate the old Qin people.

Just imagine, who would want to have their family ruined, watching their children being ** sea, to seek what ethereal fairy way?

But the edict of the first emperor, who dares not to obey!

This hatred, this anger, can only be accumulated in the bottom of the heart in the end. As soon as it broke out, the old Qin regime was immediately in turmoil.

Maybe so...... Liu Kan can't be sure.

But in his heart, there was a faint thought. You can't let Xu Fu succeed, you can't let him succeed!

He slowly stood up and said softly, "Brother Hu, I'll go with you to find that Qin Jun." If possible, I will help you get your child back. ”

When Zhong Liwu and Qin Man heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned!

The second is more served

Before eight o'clock, the third watch ......
