Cavalry battalion large battalion.

There was a row of corpses neatly placed on the ground, all of them were those who intercepted and killed Lu Li halfway, none of them fell, and they were all ordered by Han Zhong to move back with his personal guards.

Han Zhong lifted the clothes of a horse thief, revealing the Great Chu military uniform inside, "Senior Xie, what should I do now?" ”

"Hey, what is this?" Xie Yan looked at Han Zhong, "Are there many people who know?" ”

"Not much." The stakes are so high that Han Zhong didn't dare to publicize it, "Just these few guards know." As he spoke, he pointed to a small group of guards who were responsible for carrying and guarding the body.

"Well, that's good." Xie Yan pondered for a moment or two, and suddenly said, "Commander Han, the horse thief is certainly hateful, but the dead are great, so it is better to ...... Burn it. ”

"Burned? Isn't it in the ground? Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head slightly, "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

Han Zhong's status is not low, and he is not subordinate to Scholar Xie, but before he came, King Yue had summoned him, saying that the matter was complicated and implicated in a wide range of matters, and asked him to listen to Scholar Xie's opinion.

Lu Li was exhausted and a little distracted, so he just squatted to the side and listened to the conversation between Xie Yan and Han Zhong.

Originally, it was quite stable, but as soon as he heard Xie Yan say that he was going to burn the corpse, he raised his head sharply and looked at Xie Yan, destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, isn't this destroying the evidence for the prince of Chu State?

"Hey, kid, they're horse thieves, whether they're real horse thieves or not, they can only be horse thieves." Xie Yan walked over and sat down by squatting against Lu Li.

"Child, I know you are aggrieved, but it is really not appropriate for us to go to war with the State of Chu at the moment." Xie Yan was also aggrieved, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to do it.

Lu Li nodded slowly, "I understand." ”

"Hey, I've really wronged you." Xie Yan also thought that there would be danger, but he didn't expect this danger to come so quickly, this is the first time to take a photo.

…………

This side of the inn.

"What? So many people didn't make it? ”

The guard general was originally there, but he didn't take Lu Li seriously, he didn't think about it, but he waited for such bad news, "What a bunch of rubbish, what about them?" ”

"Dead, all dead." The herald replied, "They unfortunately encountered the Yue cavalry and were outnumbered. ”

The guard general showed a look of surprise and waved his hand lightly, "Okay, you go down first." ”

"Yes." The herald bowed and retreated.

"How could it fail? Is this Lu Li's luck really so good? Can you also meet reinforcements in this way? ”

The general of the guard didn't think that the problem was on his side, the people he sent to carry out the assassination mission were already middle and veterans, and these people usually did similar things, they were experienced, and the probability of failure was very low.

"Hey, that's it, that's it, if you fail, it's not a big deal." The guard general didn't think too much about it, so he got up and went to report to the prince.

…………

Five days later.

The prince of Da Chu met with Xie Yan, during which a blind doorman became angry on the spot, accusing Xie Yan of not abiding by morality and not having a good heart.

This guest bluntly said that Lu Li was brilliant and they all admired him, but he was Xie Yan's grandson-in-law, not a disciple, so he was not qualified to debate with their Royal Highness.

This is also reasonable, the great Chu Shizi is here to stand up for the teacher and prepare for a competition between disciples.

Now, you send a grandson-in-law over to make up for it, which is really not very authentic.

Although Lu Li was not in good spirits, he also wanted to argue about one or two.

Xie Yan used to be the president of the capital city examination, and he was his teacher, from here, although the status of Lu Li's disciple is not small, it cannot be said to be full.

Xie Yan shook his head, signaled Lu Li not to be impulsive, and then bluntly said that he had no apprentices, so he brought his grandson-in-law.

The blind doorman still wanted to continue reasoning, and the prince of Da Chu shouted, "Don't be rude!" Then he sent for him to be put down in peace.

It seems to be a lesson, but in fact, people with a discerning eye can see that this blind doorman has received the attention of the son of the world, and he will definitely soar in the future.

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me!" Xie Yan raised his glass and showed weakness again, from burning the horse thief, to suppressing Lu Li, to taking the initiative to apologize, his posture was very low.

"Haha, it doesn't matter." The prince of Da Chu replaced the wine with tea, drank a cup, and at the same time secretly praised Xie Yanzhi for understanding current affairs.

"Since the scholars don't have disciples, then forget about this debate." The general of the guard stood up, raised his glass, and set up a ladder for the two sides to step down.

"Okay, forget it." Xie Yan raised his glass again and drank it all, this matter ended here, even if it was a turning page.

Yes, with the tacit understanding of both sides, the tense war of national letters is over.

If he didn't kill Lu Li, the prince of Da Chu just didn't want to, and he could only go home, he couldn't really debate with Lu Li, after all, as long as he didn't debate, he wouldn't lose.

Besides, being able to subdue Xie Yan this time can be regarded as a bad breath, and the prince of Da Chu not only feels that he is not at a loss, but even a little secret.

That's it, our Da Chu is so strong, why do we have to reason with others?

Why bother to talk about problems that can be solved with a fist?

In fact, the prince of Da Chu has never been able to understand that during the last Wu-Yue War, how could his father still be forced back by the "war between civilized people"?

If it were him, needless to say, it would be easy to win 357 cities.

…………

Da Yue Palace.

King Yue summoned the busy Lu Zhi over, "The Dayue engineer you proposed on the fold, after discussion, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry basically agreed, and they felt that it was of great use." ”

Lu Zhi nodded, in fact, this so-called "Dayue sapper" is also a kind of auxiliary soldier, for the sake of his face as a newly promoted county master, it is not a problem to pass.

"It's the household...... Quite a bit of a whisper. King Yue smiled and shook his head, "But it's not a big problem, Ma Aiqing's main problem is silver." ”

"Father~~~" Lu Zhi arched his hand, "There is no discussion about the silver, and there is very little written by the minister on the fold, in fact, those sappers deserve more." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. King Yue continued to smile.

"The minister believes that the sappers are much more important than the ordinary auxiliary soldiers, and they should be paid twice or even twice as much." Lu Zhi talked about the importance of repairing wooden cattle and horses.

He felt that it was a reasonable demand to give some of the saved logistical resources to the sappers.

King Yue waved his hand, "You know all these orphans you said, but the wooden ox and flowing horse have not received great results yet, and Ma Aiqing is afraid that he will not let go." ”

Lu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly, this was a very real problem, he and King Yue both recognized the wooden ox and the horse, thinking that it was capable of solving the problem.

But the courtiers are different, they just think that the wooden ox and the horse are quite magical, as for the effect, can it really relieve the logistical pressure? It's all unknown.
