Pei County, the small county town has suddenly become lively in the past few days, in the fields, in the neighborhood yards, wine shops, streets, you can see everywhere, people in twos and threes gathered together to talk about Zhao Jun's marriage robbery.

Facts have proved that gossip is an ancient tradition of the Chinese nation, and they have arranged countless versions for this, and even dug up the grievances between Zhao Jun and Liu Ji and others a few years ago to judge right and wrong.

There are two main results of judgment, one is that Zhao Jun is a big evil official who is a big evil official, the basis is very simple, everyone is going to get married, and both parties are also voluntary, even if you Zhao Jun have an old relationship with Lu Pheasant, you shouldn't take it by force, but Zhao Jun did it, and he directly resisted people in front of Liu Ji.

Another result is that when Zhao Jun returns, he should get back what belongs to him, including Lu Pheasant, and even they guess that Lu Pheasant agrees to marry Liu Ji.

Of course, no matter what, Zhao Jun is now holding a beauty, and no one dares to criticize and insult him in Pei County, and there are sycophants who probe Zhao Jun's past experience, and then successfully fabricated the legendary story of a poor boy's inspirational struggle and finally returning home.

As for Liu Ji, who has always been a figure in Pei County, now he has been deliberately forgotten by everyone, and no one dares to mention him, let alone contact his group, for fear of touching Zhao Jun's eyebrows, besides, there are Yongya and Judge him as an example, the county order not only beheaded the two of them in order to tie up with Zhao Jun, but also hung the corpse outside the city for three days.

It can be said that this matter has caused an uproar in the entire Pei County, and no one is talking about it.

More than 100 miles away from the southeast of Peixian County, there is a large swamp area with a radius of nearly 100 miles in the southeast and northwest, the roads in the interior are staggered, the terrain is complex and dangerous, just like the ** array, ordinary people will only get lost when they go in, but here is the only way to communicate the land of Qi Chu, merchants and hawkers have to pass through here, so there are a lot of bandits entrenched here.

However, the swamp is full of mud and water networks, and those bandits are entrenched here all the year round like a loach sliding around, so it is difficult to catch their traces, and over time it has become a problem in Pei County, and in the past few years, several county orders have been changed and helpless.

Even if Ren Huan is sent from above, he can only suppress and control the bandits here and ensure the safety of the Yunan Grain Road, but cannot completely eradicate it.

At this time, in a clearing of reeds in the swamp, there were three people talking secretly, one was a strong and short Chu man, he looked fierce and dressed in a short shirt, and he looked like a habitual bandit.

And there are two people who are much more elegant, one is tall and dressed in a long robe, and the other is relatively young, elegant and handsome, and has a graceful demeanor, like a beautiful son.

Among them, the fierce habitual bandit first said to the long shirt: "Mr. Tian, has Brother Tian Heng investigated the situation of this Zhao army clearly?" ”

Mr. Changsan Tian nodded and said: "I have inquired clearly, that Zhao Jun is indeed the one who killed the county commander before, his past must be better known to you Wang Ling, as for the purpose of his coming is to replace Ren Ao, and a few days ago, in Liu Ji's marriage, he almost killed Liu Ji." ”

Saying that, Mr. Tian told Zhao Jun about the marriage robbery incident that came to Zhao Jun, and after hearing it, the two of them were both stunned, and they didn't expect that Liu Ji, who has always been in Pei County, will have today.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Liu Ji to have today." Wang Ling suddenly smiled a little happily, and finally said: "Although I am the largest group of forces in this big swamp, Liu Ji and others often loot secretly, and often do not follow the rules and cross the line to make money, I wanted to kill him a long time ago, but his brothers are very extraordinary in martial arts, Liu Ji is a slippery person, so I can't do anything about him, but the well water does not interfere with the river water."

As for Zhao Jun, this person suddenly rose in Pei County a few years ago, and had close contacts with Liu Ji, but later because of the wealth of the previous county commander, Liu Ji designed to frame him to prevent disasters for himself, so three years ago Zhao Jun turned against him and killed people and fled, and now he should not only take over Ren Huan to clean up us, but also want to find Liu Ji to seek revenge, otherwise he will not go to rob the marriage as soon as he comes. ”

"Since this Zhao Jun is here to take over Ren Huan's position, he will have to fight you sooner or later, and you can try to form an alliance with Liu Ji." The beautiful boy suddenly spoke.

"Alliance?" Mr. Tian and Wang Ling were stunned.

Mr. Tian first said: "This is unlikely, then Liu Ji is also an official." ”

"That's it, Gongzi Jingju, Zhao Jun is a young man under twenty years old, and his hair has not grown, so he doesn't deserve our attention, right?" Wang Ling also questioned.

Mei Gongzi Jingju said in a deep voice: "How is it impossible, I think Zhao Jun is ruthless and far-reaching, Liu Ji will be forced by him sooner or later to have no way out, and then maybe he will beg you to form an alliance." ”

"Ruthless? Far-reaching? Wang Ling and Mr. Tian were both stunned, how could they not think.

The corners of Jing Ju's mouth twitched: "Don't you see, why does Zhao Jun have so many subordinates, and he still has to rob the marriage alone?" ”

"This" two people seem to have some understanding, but they don't understand the point.

Jing Ju waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's ignore these for the time being, the Qin army's war against South Vietnam has entered a critical period, we must not let their rear be stable, and the grain route must also deepen the destruction, otherwise the Qin army will leave the war as soon as possible, and we will be in more danger."

Mr. Tian, you should also quickly transfer your brother's dead soldiers, in addition, I will also go back to Huiji to see if I can get the support of the Yu family, as long as they are willing to support, our strength will definitely be doubled, and then, we will first give the Zhao army a dismount, and then wreak havoc on the grain road, as long as the civil war of the Qin Dynasty continues, the national capital of the Qin State will continue to disappear, and our chances of recovering the country will be much greater. ”

"It's fine." Mr. Tian nodded when he heard this.

But Wang Ling smiled and said: "Prince Jingju, I heard that the Yu family has a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, can you get her, in that case, the Yu family will definitely support you fully." ”

"You don't have to think about it." After hearing this, Gongzi Jingju suddenly said a little unhappily: "If it weren't for the support of the Yu family, I would have slaughtered that uninteresting slut a long time ago, hum." ”

Wang Ling was stunned, and then Mr. Tian glanced at each other, and then couldn't help but guess that Jing Ju must have been rejected three times and twice, otherwise the city government would not be so angry with Jing Ju's scheming.

Finally, I heard Jing Ju say: "By the way, Wang Ling, you send me more people this time, I got the news, the first emperor was assassinated in the palace a year ago, I thought that I would definitely not be able to hide from the relationship with the Xiang family, but I don't know where they are hiding, I plan to go to Wu County by the way, some people say that they have appeared there, see if they can find them to join forces." ”

"Yes, Prince Jingju." Wang Ling nodded, and said nothing, he is a civilian of the Chu State, although he gathered many Chu bandits under the banner of the Chu State in the swamp, but he used to be a civilian of the Chu State after all, and his prestige was not high, and Jing Ju was a nobleman and was also very prestigious among the Chu people, so he could help him stabilize the hearts of his subordinates, and as a reward, Wang Ling of course also supported Jing Ju's anti-Qin actions, providing them with money and hiding places, which can be regarded as using each other.

In Peixian County, Liu Ji's courtyard that was originally intended for the wedding was extremely dilapidated at this time, not to mention that the courtyard gate was smashed down, and there was a big hole in the roof, I don't know why Liu Ji didn't repair it.

At this time, Liu Ji, Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, as well as Ren Ao, Cao Shen and Xiahou Ying were all in the hospital, only Xiao He did not come because he was the chief official in the county and usually had a lot of miscellaneous affairs.

"Damn, this Zhao Jun is too much of a bully." Fan Xu slammed his fist on the wall, the whole wall buzzed, his face was angry, obviously holding back his grievances.

Xiahou Ying said with a hideous face: "Zhao Jun, this little wild seed, I swear not to be a man if I don't kill him." ”

"Okay, what's the matter with unhappy people, go and work hard, do you dare? Now that he is in the county office, I am afraid that he will be shot into a hedgehog before he reaches the front of others. Suddenly, Liu Ji shouted with some anger.

Everyone was silent after hearing this, anyone could see that Liu Ji had been holding back his anger and resentment, and they could also understand Liu Ji's mood, no one would be happy with anyone in this matter.

In the end, Liu Ji suddenly laughed at himself and said: "Hehe, I miss me Liu Ji Hero I, in the end, women are robbed in front of the house." ”

Ren Ao next to him couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Ji, you don't have to worry too much, it's just a woman, we still have to think about how to deal with Zhao Jun." ”

"The most important thing is the reputation of the eldest brother, how to gain a foothold in the future." Zhou Bo sighed, explaining the most critical point, the reason why Liu Ji has been able to call for wind and rain in Pei County for a long time is because of the support of their brothers, and the second is Liu Ji's reputation and prestige, now not only two brothers have been killed, but also the prestige has been devastated, and now no one dares to talk to Liu Ji when walking on the street.

Xiahou Ying was a little unconvinced and said: "Hmph, Zhao Jun, I don't think that's it, acting impulsively for the sake of a woman, if Brother Ji had ordered us to do it earlier, he would have died." ”

"Impulsively for the sake of a woman?" Liu Ji shook his head and smiled, then looked at Xiahou Ying and asked, "Do you think that Zhao Jun was reckless and impulsive that day, so he went alone first?" And the Assassin White Shadow, do you think his appearance at that time was just a coincidence? ”

"Big brother, what do you mean?" Xiahou Ying was stunned and asked.

Cao Shen seemed to have an understanding and said: "Brother Ji, are you saying that he wanted us to misunderstand that he was alone from the beginning, and then lured us to do it, so that he could use this as an excuse to kill us?" And those people from the Black Ice Platform have also come early? ”

Liu Ji closed his eyes and nodded: "That's right, that's why I didn't let you do anything to him for a long time, just to force him to try again and again, and finally he noticed my caution before signaling the white shadow to move his hand, then I noticed that he looked at the roof first, and the white shadow appeared, if we made a little mistake that day, it would be the end of eating it and Yongya." ”

"What a ruthless method!" Several people gasped after glancing at each other, they actually walked around in front of death, but they didn't expect Zhao Jun to set a trap from the beginning, fortunately, the eldest brother was cautious enough, otherwise it was really possible to fall for Zhao Jun's trick that day.

Later, they thought again, is this still the same Zhao Jun three years ago? For a while, they all felt that Zhao Jun had become stranger, and Zhao Jun's growth in the past three years made them feel afraid, whether it was strength or scheming.

"Actually, this is what Xiao He told me later, at that time I was just out of instinct." Liu Ji opened his mouth and said, everyone only had silence and depression after hearing it, Zhao Jun is so strong now, and his scheming is so high, will he be his opponent?

Liu Ji looked around at a few people, and when he saw that they bowed their heads and were silent, he suddenly sighed and said: "We people are one less dead, first Lu Xuan, then Yongya and Ju Shiqi, I don't know who will be next." ”

As soon as these words came out, Fan Xu and the others changed color, yes, who is Zhao Jun going to kill next?

After a while, Cao Shen suddenly said: "Brother Ji, our own strength is not as good as Zhao Jun's now, why don't we borrow external forces?" ”

"You mean?" Liu Ji was stunned, as if he had thought of something.

Cao Shen's eyes flashed with a cold light and said: "Yes, if we join forces with them, we will have a great chance to kill Zhao Jun, as long as we can kill Zhao Jun, the woman and reputation will return to Brother Ji's side, and we will also get rid of the Sword of the Hanging Beam." ”

The other people were stunned when they heard this, a little confused, and they didn't understand what Cao Shen meant.

Liu Ji motioned for several people to enter the house at this time, and finally closed the door, Liu Ji told the incident again, and everyone suddenly realized after hearing it.

"Big brother, I think it's okay, it's better to join forces with them and find a way to get rid of Zhao Jun, anyway, it's just what they need." Fan Hao and several people spoke in agreement.

Liu Ji looked at Cao Shen and said, "Then what plan do you have, let's hear it." ”

At this time, Cao Shen smiled fiercely, and finally whispered: "Brother Ji, doesn't that woman still have a handle in your hand?" Why don't we use this to force Zhao Jun to comply, as long as Zhao Jun will definitely die. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ji's eyes lit up after hearing this.

It's just that Zhou Bo was a little apprehensive and said, "Is this okay?" If he catches the handle, won't we have no way to live? ”

Ren Ao also said: "Yes, Brother Ji, Zhao Jun's martial arts should not be underestimated, if he has a way to live, then we are killing ourselves." ”

"Hmph, what if his martial arts are strong, their gang is not a vegetarian, and when the time comes, he will be an opponent." Xiahou Ying said disdainfully.

Fan Xuruo shouted meaningfully: "Don't hesitate, Zhao Jun is now planning to kill us, and his official is bigger than us, it is not difficult to fabricate evidence or catch our handle, we can't guard against him day and night, instead of being scared day and day, it is better to strike first, anyway, only one of us and him can survive." ”

Cao Shen also opened his mouth to persuade: "Our contradiction with him has reached the point where it is urgent, he has scruples about not doing it before, and now if he is left with time to fabricate evidence, it will be us who will die, so to speak, we have no choice now."

However, you can also rest assured that as long as this matter is done according to my plan and does not leak, Zhao Jun will not be able to do anything without evidence, and as long as Zhao Jun dies, we will be considered successful in the plan, so we are invincible in this matter. ”

"Rather than being played to death by him, it's better to give it a go and do it." Ren Ao clenched his fists and suddenly made up his mind.

Zhou Bo also said: "Okay, but since that person is not in harmony internally, we have to be careful so as not to be used by others." ”

Liu Ji smiled when he saw that several people had unified their opinions, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this, once the incident happens, even if they don't kill Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun will kill them, and in the end they can only kill each other. ”
