Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of ancient bells echoes in the valley.

The rushing water slowly moves eastward, moistening a large river valley.

It was a magnificent time.

The Seven Heroes of the Warring States have been fighting for many years, and the world has not been finished for hundreds of years, and all of them have learned their own ways of survival in this turbulent wave.

It was also a very boring time.

At least, for Zhao Shuang.

The arrows galloped, startling a roar of birds and beasts.

Zhao Shuang sat under the tree, supporting his chin, and watched with some boredom as the sturdy clansmen in the distance happily ran over to find prey.

The spear stabbed down, dripping with blood, but the harvest was laughter.

For the princes and nobles, hunting was just a pleasure; But for the mountain people in this mediocre land, hunting is a necessary means of survival.

The valley is verdant, densely wooded, and houses are built along a flat mountain area along the Han River.

Along the Han River, the land of Yongchu, because it is at the junction of Qin, Han, Wei and Chu, it has always been a battlefield for countries to fight.

Hanshui is a magical river.

For more than 100 years, Qin and Chu, the two powerful vassal states, had fierce confrontations around Hanzhong, Yong, Nanyang and other places along the Han River.

The hegemony grew and fell, and Qin and Chu interacted with each other. For more than 100 years, Zhao Shuang's clan has a large number of people, either Qin or Chu.

Until more than 30 years ago, Wu Anjun of the Qin State broke through Yingdu and announced the final outcome of this battlefield.

The Qin state completely eliminated the threat of the Chu state and entered the strategic offensive from the two countries.

Since then, from the west to Longxi and the east to Jingdi, the vast area is owned by the Qin State, and Zhao Shuang's branch has completely become a Qin person.

It's time flies, when Zhao Shuang was a child, he still heard the elders of the clan talk about the scene of following Wu Anjun Bai Qi all the way to be invincible.

A general like Wu Anjun is not only liked by the emperor, but also by ordinary soldiers.

Provided, of course, not to stand opposite him.

With such a general, there is money, meat and women.

Originally, if it was just like this, Zhao Shuang would have lived a boring life of practicing martial arts and writing with nothing to do, thinking about whether to hug Brother Zheng's thigh or Brother Bang's thigh in the future?

Brother Zheng's thighs are thick, but they are difficult to approach. On the contrary, Bongo is much more accessible.

Zhao Shuang once had plans to move his family to Pei County.

Until a few years ago, Zhao Shuang inadvertently saved a swordsman.

The old man claimed to be a first-class swordsman in the net, and wanted to get out of the net, so he was hunted down.

Unlike ordinary snare killers, this man is not tired of the life of killing, but claims to have realized a higher realm and does not want to become a slave of the sword anymore, so he abandons the sword.

On that rainy day, Zhao Shuang saw with his own eyes how this man slaughtered dozens of swordsmen who joined forces to hunt him down, including the two Tianzi First Rank, with his bare hands.

Zhao Shuang saved this dying master, and he agreed to accept Zhao Shuang as an apprentice.

It's just that Zhao Shuang soon regretted it.

This old guy passed on a set of swordsmanship to Zhao Shuang, and after practicing, Zhao Shuang gained forty pounds in a year.

According to this old guy, this set of swordsmanship was obtained by accident when he was doing a task, and he comprehended it.

He hasn't practiced it himself.

The reason why Zhao Shuang gained weight was because when he practiced this swordsmanship, his true qi would fill his limbs and hundreds of bones. When the body is unable to hold the excess True Qi, the body's capacity expands until it reaches a limit.

When his cultivation rises, his sword qi will be pure, and his cultivation will naturally increase, and his weight will also decrease.

"Zhao Shuang, why are you here, the patriarch called you."

At the top of the cliff, the clouds are ethereal.

Zhao Shuang shook his fat and greasy body, climbed up with great difficulty, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.

These old guys always like to stand on such a high place and talk to people.

The patriarch of the Zhao clan is an old guy with white hair, who is said to be born to King Qin Huiwen, and he is quite old.

"Shuang'er, you're here."

In these years, whether it is the princely states or the ministers of various places, the primogeniture system is pursued.

Zhao Shuang is just a concubine, but he is very valued by this patriarch.

Zhaojia Village is a large village in the land of Yongchu, with its own armament, somewhat similar to the nature of mercenaries.

"Lao Zhao! I said the next time you meet someone, can you find a flat place, look at my current situation, can you stand your toss? ”

Zhao Shuang complained, although there was a huge disparity in status between them, but the patriarch of the Zhao clan didn't mind.

"This swordsmanship is what you want to practice yourself, and now it's like this, who is to blame?"

It turned out that when he was slender and handsome, several village flowers in the village revolved around him. Now like this, even the green flowers in the village are unwilling to take care of him.

Zhao Shuang looked up at the sky forty-five degrees and sighed in his heart.

No matter what world it is, it's a society that looks at faces!

The patriarch of the Zhao clan is the fourth, and not many people know his real name.

Zhao Laosi was a little narrow, and smiled slightly.

"I have a matter that I would like to ask your opinion on?"

"What's the matter?"

"Since the new king succeeded to the throne of the Qin State, Lü Buwei was in charge outside, and Huayang and Zhao Ji were fighting inside. In the Qin state, various forces fought each other, and the position of the new king was unstable. At this juncture, all countries are staring, wanting to bite off a piece of fat from Qin's body. ”

In this day and age, soldiers are a big issue.

Especially a force like Zhaojiacun, which is on the edge of the countries, has not been eaten and wiped out by all forces, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, and those who survive are all monsters.

There are 3,000 Jing Chu Yongcai in Zhaojia Village, and they are the kind that bring their own armor and weapons.

These 3,000 Jing Chu brave materials, generation after generation, once followed Wu'an Hou Baiqi to capture Yingdu.

Bai Qi once said that the courage of these 3,000 armor soldiers is not inferior to the soldiers under the command of Xihe.

Xihe guarded Wu Qi, and once relied on 50,000 Wei troops to defeat the 500,000 army of Qin in the first battle of Yin and Jin.

And the main force of the 50,000 Wei army is the military pawn.

After this battle, the Qin State was almost in danger of extinction.

Such an army is naturally the object that all forces want to win over.

"The three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Chu have all come to lobbyists recently, trying to win over our clan. In particular, the State of Chu wants to take advantage of this season to regain Nanjun. ”

"No!"

Although Zhao Shuang didn't know why Zhao Laosi asked him about this kind of thing, he immediately shook his head.

Just kidding, at this time, I will work against Brother Zheng, and I will be sure to put on a small book in the future, can I have a good end?

"Why?"

"Although the Qin State is in danger, the foundation has not been lost, and the retreat is enough to defend itself. Although there are many of the six countries, they all have their own ghosts. We are strong enough to stand on our own feet by virtue of the terrain, so why should we be caught up in the strife of the princes? How many times has it been a combination of strategies? ”

"I see what you mean!"

Zhao Laosi nodded and waved him back.

Not long after Zhao Shuang left, Zhao Laosi spoke slightly.

"Brother Guigu, how is it?"

"Interesting!"

An old man walked from the side, dressed in a long black and white robe, and holding a bamboo slip in his hand.

The decline of the Six Kingdoms, the disadvantage of non-soldiers, the poor war, and the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin. Bribing Qin and losing strength is also the way to ruin.

Guiguzi slowly recited the fragments of this bamboo slip, with joy and worry on his face.

"It's a pity, it's a pity

"What a pity?"

"I only say a word, but I have the rhyme of vertical and horizontal. It's a pity that I will collect Gai Nie first, and then Wei Zhuang. Otherwise, I want to take him under his command and teach him. ”

Zhao Laosi smiled, and there was still a little smug on his face.

"The countries grow and fall, and the soldiers don't know how many heroes have produced. My Zhao family has been a hundred years old, and I finally came out with a unicorn talent. Even if your brother wants it, I can't give it. ”

"If a good talent is infertile, it will be difficult to become a tool in the end. Such a good talent, following you Zhao Laosi, can only learn some tricks in the art of war. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The Confucian Xun situation once owed me a favor. I want him to come to my valley for March and teach some poetry to my two unsuccessful apprentices. ”

Guiguzi smiled, looking at Zhao Laosi, the other party also smiled slightly

"There are plane trees on the road, which attract phoenixes."
