Chapter 224: Lonely and Helpless
Permission land.
"We've already shipped the goods."
There were no people on the desolate land, and in front of the Seven Peerless Hall and the others, there was a small village, which had just experienced the trauma of war, and the surrounding fields seemed very barren.
Tang Qi glanced at the person receiving the goods, although he was dressed as an ordinary villager, he could not hide the anger on his body, it seemed that he was either a thief who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, or a first-class dead soldier.
"Receive!"
The person on the other side didn't seem to be happy, his face was ugly, and he didn't mean anything humble, and he looked very tough.
After a cursory inspection of the goods, a few men pulled the wagon and prepared to leave.
"This brother, the money?"
Tang Qi reminded him, and the other party took out a money bag from his sleeve and threw it over.
Tang Qi weighed it, it was about the same weight, and he didn't dwell on it anymore.
Although there were twists and turns in this mission, it was finally completed, and for a while, the people of the Seven Peerless Hall were a lot more relaxed.
The loss of people and horses requires a large amount of money to comfort their families, and many of them have to take a lot of money from the honorarium of this mission, but these people don't care.
"Boss, it's been a hundred or two hundred miles anyway, so we might as well go to the city ahead to rest."
Tang Qi shook his face and scolded lightly.
"Do you want to go to the city to rest?"
The disciples of the Seven Peerless Sects looked stupid, of course they weren't here to rest. If you want to rest, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to the city to rest?
Tang Qi looked at the group of subordinates, a little impatient, and waved his hand.
"Get out, get out."
All the disciples of the Seven Peerless Hall knew Tang Qi's temper and knew that although he was impatient at the moment, they all agreed. For a moment, there was an expression on their faces that all men understand.
"Deler, hall master, we must go and return quickly."
"Fuck off, you're fast."
Although the task was over, Tang Qi's heart was full of sorrow. The attack was still in front of him, and he was restless.
Tang Qi waited near the village for a long time, and it wasn't until Wei Zhuang appeared that he felt a little at ease in his heart.
"What about the people of the Seven Peerless Hall?"
Wei Zhuang couldn't help but ask when he saw Tang Qi alone, sitting under a big tree.
"It's all going to the city and having fun."
Wei Zhuang's face showed a look of surprise, and Tang Qi couldn't help but show a trace of weirdness on his face when he saw it in his eyes.
"Boss Wei, you won't ......"
Before Tang Qi finished speaking, he felt a powerful murderous aura on Wei Zhuang's body, and immediately closed his mouth stupidly.
"I'm dedicated to cultivating, and the affairs of men and women are just disturbing people's hearts, and it's not worth mentioning."
Wei Zhuang said nonchalantly, it didn't seem to be a big deal at all.
"Boss Wei is right."
Tang Qi didn't know whether he said this sincerely or falsely, so he changed the topic.
"How's it going?"
"They are all Cao Yu's subordinates."
Wei Zhuang had been secretly following the group until they entered Cao Yu's military camp and then turned back.
"It's strange, Cao Yu is a general, if you want to order these materials, you can purchase them openly, why bother so much? Also, what are the people who attacked us for? ”
"Behind the unusual, there is often a reasonable fact, but now, this fact has not yet emerged."
Tang Qi looked at Wei Zhuang's appearance, he seemed to be very interested, and his heart was not good.
It looks like a storm is coming!
......
"General, this spring planting is about to start, and I have already arranged it."
Cao Yu listened to the narration of the three elders in the township and nodded.
This is his jurisdiction, but he is not only in charge of the military, but also in charge of agriculture.
In South Korea, Xu Di is not as prosperous as Yangzhai and Xinzheng, but it is most influenced by the general trend of the world, especially Qin and Chu.
In the 800-year history of the Chu State, although there have been several ups and downs, and the capital has moved several times, they are all based in Nanjun. Decades ago, Baiqi pulled Ying, Nanyang was Qin, and the vast Jianghan Plain was occupied by Qin.
The state of Chu moved its capital to Chen, less than two hundred miles away from Xu Land. At the beginning, the monarchs and ministers of Chu did not have the ambition and ambition to regain the old land, but with the passage of time, the national strength declined, especially a few years ago, after the failure of the five kingdoms to attack Qin, the monarchs and ministers of Chu were afraid of the revenge of the Qin state.
The Central Plains is flat and the water system is complex, and the Qin army, relying on the momentum of Lianheng, can mobilize heavy troops near the Chen capital and threaten the political center of the Chu State, whether it is through the Han border or the Wei land.
Therefore, the state of Chu moved the capital again, and finally moved the capital to Shoudi, achieving a broad strategic depth.
However, the pressure on Xu Di has not eased.
As a general guarding the front line, Cao Yu's pressure is very heavy. Although a large number of troops of the Chu State have moved away with the migration of the national capital, the heavy troops of the Xiang clan are still stationed in Xiangdi, which is not close to Chendi.
The borders of Qin, Chu, Han and Wei are even more complicated. As the situation of the countries grows and wanes, perhaps today's allies will become the enemies of others.
As spring ploughing approached, he had to come out of the barracks and lead his men and horses to inspect the farming in the villages.
It's just that Cao Yu took one more look at the crowd, and then, his gaze couldn't leave at all.
"Who's that woman?"
"It was a young widow who had just lost her husband, and when the people of the village saw that she was pitiful, they took her in."
"Widow?"
Cao Yu instantly became interested and beckoned.
"Call her to speak to General Ben."
"This ......"
The three elders in the township are a little hesitant, but she is a widow, is it appropriate to call her so? However, they still did not dare to disobey after all, and finally called the little widow over.
"Why are you so young? Who is the husband's family? ”
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, with a delicate figure, and bowed slightly.
"The concubine's husband's Zhao family, Ben and the concubine are in harmony, and the husband and wife are in love. But ......."
At this, the little widow burst into tears, and there were tears on her face.
"How?"
"That year, my sister came to visit her home, and the slut had no shame and hooked up with her brother-in-law. The husband didn't hold it for a while, so he sank, snubbed the concubine every night, only knew how to have fun with the slut, and unfortunately died early. The concubine was lonely and miserable, and she was ostracized by the clan. Helpless, only one person can be left here. ”
"How can it be!"
Cao Yu was furious and very unfair.
"Such a beautiful woman, but also endure the cold. Your husband is simply ......"
Uh-huh!
Cao Hao's subordinates coughed lightly, waking Cao Feng up from his uneven state, reminding him that so many people were watching!
As he spoke, Cao Yu's face showed sadness and sadness.
"What a wretched woman! How difficult it is to be alone. ”
With a long sigh, Cao Yu looked at the deputy general beside him.
"It seems that there is a shortage of a calling girl in our house!"
"Ahh Yes, yes! ”
Cao Yu's subordinates rolled their eyes, how do I know about the things in your house.
"So, would you?"
"Being able to serve the general is a blessing for the concubine."
"Do you have a name?"
"Little Girl Scarlet Smoke!"
The woman's bow shows her slender posture and light body, especially her sad face, which is even more pitiful.
