Chapter 174: You Know Too Much
The longbow was ready to fire, and the arrows were glowing coldly.
Zhao Shuang let go lightly, the arrow galloped, there was a whistling sound in his ears, among the trees, the arrow fell, and a hare flew into the jungle.
The banner was unfurled, and around Zhao Shuang, dozens of armor soldiers were surrounded, and they were guarded.
The envoy of Changping Jun was beside him, bowing his hands and speaking humblely, but there was a little disdain on his face.
"Let Benjun be the commander of the march?"
Two successive groups of messengers allowed Zhao Shuang to return here from the Mo family's stronghold.
One is Fan Yuzhi's subordinates, and Zhao Shuang is asked to procure ordnance, which should be compliant. It's just that after that, Changping Jun doesn't seem to be at ease, and wants him to be transferred from the key position of Sima to govern the army and become the chief general of the first army.
In this way, Zhao Shuang can be under Fan Yuzhi's nose, and Changping Jun can feel much more at ease.
Changping Jun said that this time to cut Zhao is the time to make contributions. The king has the position of a feudal monarch, but there is no military title, and it is not beautiful in the long run. If the monarch has a heart, Changping Jun can recommend the position of the chief general of the march for the monarch. β
"This monarch is young, the commander of an army, and his responsibilities are too heavy, so I am afraid that he will miss the lives of soldiers and bear the trust of the king. Changpingjun's kindness, Benjun thanked him. β
Zhao Shuang smiled and refused without thinking about it. Saying that, Zhao Shuang held the bow and fired another arrow, which was another false shot.
to make his heart contempt, but his face still showed enough patience and respect.
"Your Majesty, this is a great opportunity! Zhao was affected by disasters last year, and the loss of troops was serious, and this time to attack Zhao, this is a great opportunity to obtain military merits. β
"It's good, but Benjun is not very good at fighting!"
Zhao Shuang fired a third arrow.
When the messenger saw this, the other seemed to be tired, and after the arrow had missed again, he sat back into the camp where the carriage had been made of makeshift piles.
The improvised camp didn't even have a tent, which shows that the owner didn't want to stay longer. It was a temporary safari and it didn't last long.
Seeing that Zhao Shuang was repeatedly moved, the envoy waved his hand and took his leave.
Dianqing's huge figure slowly appeared, carrying two wild deer on each shoulder, and came to Zhao Shuang. Behind him, there was a team that returned with a full load.
"Lord, I have caught some wild animals, which is enough for my brothers to eat today."
Zhao Shuang raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"It's not too early, let's prepare the meal!"
"No!"
Time passed, and the warriors skinned and dismantled their prey, took out the entrails, washed them, and began to roast them on the fire.
In the middle of the camp, a campfire was lit.
Hunting is actually a delicate job. When choosing a place to camp, you must be close to a water source. Hunters get up early in the morning, and basically have to go into the mountains and forests just after dawn, otherwise they will not be able to gather enough food to maintain their strength.
For the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, hunting in the four seasons is a means of exercising their bravery and training their troops. Of course, there are also those who like to hunt and see it as a hobby.
However, if these factors are removed, hunting is actually hard work.
Zhao Shuang snorted, a little lacking in interest, sitting by the fire, looking at the celebration not far away, a little bored.
"Have you sent out all the ordnance you procured?"
Dianqing looks stout and burly, but his mind is very delicate.
"Rest assured, Lord, I personally escorted it, and all the materials that have been procured have been delivered to the hands of the Qin army."
Zhao Shuang nodded, waiting for food was a little long. The food was not good, but the person he was waiting for had already arrived.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang came together, Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and the armorer holding Changge let go of the road.
"You're finally here!"
Wei Zhuang held the shark tooth in his hand and looked at Zhao Shuang with a scrutinizing look. And Gai Nie still has a cold face.
"You two, really, came here with a meal."
Zhao Shuang smiled, his posture was not formal at all, he sat casually, and his legs were crossed.
"Why did you two get together and come to me together?"
It is said that now, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, one is the chief swordsman of King Qin, and the other is a celebrity in front of Lu Buwei, and the two of them should not appear at the same time.
But now, they not only appeared at the same time, but also came to Zhao Shuang at the same time.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked at each other, and in the end, Gai Nie spoke.
"Xiao Shuang, we came to you this time for one thing."
Zhao Shuang waved his hand, very atmospheric.
"What do we have to do with it, if there is anything, just open your mouth, except for borrowing money, I will promise you everything."
Zhao Shuang's words caused a long silence between the two in front of him. He was stunned, he really wanted to borrow money.
Zhao Shuang reacted, and that's right, in addition to money in this world, what can be difficult to defeat the two heroes of the Ghost Valley?
"How much are you going to borrow?"
Gai Nie glanced at Wei Zhuang and opened his mouth a little sneeringly.
"Five thousand gold!"
Zhao Shuang gasped, as if his body had been scraped.
"Such a large sum of money?"
Just as Gai Nie was about to open his mouth to explain, Zhao Shuang replied happily.
"I agreed!"
Zhao Shuang was so refreshing, which made Wei Zhuang hesitate a little. His eyes are deep, and his heart is extremely competitive.
"Why don't you ask us what we're going to do?"
Zhao Shuang waved his hand, as if he didn't care at all, and said it casually.
"Such a large amount of money, in addition to buying a house and buying a land property, which you can't do at all, can only be used for bribery in a short period of time."
The smile on Zhao Shuang's face made Wei Zhuang very unhappy. He glanced at his head slightly, and looked at Gai Nie out of the corner of his eye, the other party's face was calm, but the hand holding the sword was a little tighter.
Wei Zhuang is very familiar with Gai Nie, the other party seems to be gentle, but the competitiveness in his heart is no less than him. At this time, Gai Nie was also extremely unhappy in his heart.
"It's just, who deserves such a large sum? The important thing is that with the current status of the two of you, it is not impossible to use such a large sum of money. Unless, this matter does not matter King Qin and LΓΌ Buwei, it is not a public matter. Or, you are doing something for your superiors, but the matter is extremely secretive and urgent, and the funds used cannot be used in the open. β
Speaking of which, the barbecue is ready. Dian Qing's huge body moved slightly, and his thick arm handed over a string of meat.
"The former is unlikely, it is related to the Ghost Valley, and you are not allowed to pay. As for the latter, the only one who can invite the two of you at the same time is related to Chang'an Juncheng. β
"King Qin and Lu Buwei are not at ease with Chang'anjun, so they want you to plant an eyeliner with enough weight next to him. But Chang Anjun's eyeliner is also all over Xianyang, whether it is Wang or Xiang, temporarily using such a large sum of money from the account will definitely arouse his vigilance. If it is secretly extracted, the time will be long. This also explains why the two of you are showing up together, because the tasks you are given overlap. β
"And the person who has such a big appetite should be ......."
"Enough!"
To Zhao Shuang's surprise, it was not Wei Zhuang who stopped him from talking, but Gai Nie.
He also seemed to notice his anomaly, and made up for it.
"This matter is confidential and cannot be leaked."
Wei Zhuang glanced at Zhao Shuang, and his face was also unkind.
"You know too much, just give us the money."
Zhao Shuang scratched his head and looked at the Guigu Shuangxiong who had not even eaten in the distance.
"Are all the people who have borrowed money like this all these years?"
