Chapter 253: An Awkward Encounter
Aisha, who was in charge of destroying the tunnels, rushed out of the ground with the two of Edgeworth's flights, dodging the large amount of smoke and dust caused by the collapse of the tunnels.
Others were not so lucky.
Including Charizard......
It wasn't until Lu Zhi and the others cleaned up by the river that Wang Xingjiang let the fire-breathing dragon, who was monitoring their movements, fly to the other side of the river, somewhat misleading the other party's search direction.
While waiting for Charizard to return, Wang Xingjiang wanted to ask Lu Zhi if she was willing to help his big gang - if not, tie her up until she wanted to.
Wang Xingjiang didn't plan to let Lu Zhi leave, after all, she would definitely be able to see our problems, if she was captured by hostile forces, revealing a little information could make everyone on our side doomed.
He couldn't take that risk.
However, with Lu Zhi's ability, we should be able to guess our purpose, and since she is willing to go with Aoki Lihua, she should have figured it out......
"The concubine greets the master, and invites the master to enjoy it as he pleases."
Being soaked made Lu Zhi's beautiful figure looming, coupled with this gesture and words full of hints, Wang Xingjiang was "splashed with blood" on the spot and fell to the ground.
"It seems that my body is not his purpose......"
Zihua ignored the angry eyes of Lihua Aoki and Aisha, and thought about it to herself, while the chief of the guard, Huayue, put a cloak on her, "Miss, can you stop making such jokes." ”
"It's rare to relax, just make me happy." , Zihua picked Hua Yue's chin, "Do you want to do something fun with me tonight?" ”
"Little ...... Miss! Don't say such shameless things in public! Hua Yue, who recalled those "humiliating" experiences, blushed rarely, and then immediately turned around and glared at his subordinates who were snickering.
On the other side, Lihua Aoki and Aisha immediately pulled Wang Xingjiang ten meters away, and they now felt that they were the target of the other party's hunting, so it was better to be careful - by the way, I was worried that she would take a fancy to Wang Xingjiang.
Zihua, who found that no one paid attention to him, gave up molesting others, and became a little more serious, "What are you saving me for?" ”
"Momoka hopes you can help us manage the staff."
"Well, can you turn it around? There are good things to see here~", Zihua felt that the man opposite was very interesting, and immediately returned to the "strange uncle" mode.
Wang Xingjiang, who had already turned around and raised his head to stop the bleeding, remembered the shocking glance after hearing this provocative voice, and his nosebleed, which he thought was fully prepared, gushed out again, and even choked on his throat.
Asking Aisha to take care of Wang Xingjiang, who was about to kill herself, Aoki Lihua resolutely sat down at the negotiating table, "We need your experience in commanding the army, and I hope you can join us." ”
Zihua is still very face-saving for his savior, "Okay, I'll join." ”
"If—huh?" , Aoki Lihua realized that the other party agreed without hesitation, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, "You don't think about it anymore?" ”
"Even if I don't say yes, you won't let me go, will you?" , Zihua said very directly, but she immediately said her reasons, "And I also want to try this different path." ”
Theoretically, everyone is on the same path, but Reika Aoki can't believe such a smart person, "I must warn you that if you make any threatening moves, I will kill you immediately." ”
"I'm still a captive after all, and I know what I have to do."
……
When Charizard returned, the group set off for Momoka's current camp.
Because of the unexpectedly large number of companions, the original plan to squeeze the Charizard completely failed, so Wang Xingjiang asked Aisha to ride Charizard back to the camp first, bringing twenty-three horses over.
By the way, tell Momoka about the results of their actions.
There's no way to cut it first and then play it.
As soon as he thought of going back to meet Taoxiang's tear offensive, Wang Xingjiang felt a very headache, he really couldn't cope with the girl's tears. Especially because of the situation that he cried, which would make him blame himself very much, after all, Wang Xingjiang was taught since he was a child that "boys can't make girls cry", although in fact he can't beat elementary school girls in the same grade at all......
Until now, I can't beat Lika Aoki......
The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed Wang Xingjiang became, and immediately turned his attention back to Zihua and the others behind him, beware of them suddenly running away.
Wang Xingjiang felt that he might be "living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain", after all, they didn't move abnormally at all, but he still didn't feel at ease - they might also be pretending to be waiting for us to relax our vigilance.
Zihua saw Wang Xingjiang's vigilance, but she didn't care at all, and instead began to appease the somewhat angry guards, "Don't be angry, it's just human nature." ”
"Who doesn't know your reputation, Miss?" , Hua Yue was a little indignant, "How could you do something that broke your oath?" ”
"Then it's really possible that he doesn't know ......", although Zihua said something inexplicable, Hua Yue still didn't bother the master who had already started thinking, but began to think about the future of himself and the others.
Where are we going?
……
The one who came with the horse team first scolded Wang Xingjiang loudly, and then rushed into the arms of Wang Xingjiang, who obediently received the punishment, with tears - as soon as he entered, he was forcibly pulled away by Aoki Lihua.
In this way, she had to face Lu Zhi.
Momoka, who had no options, could only confront the smiling Zihua, and then said angrily, "I won't forgive you!" ”
"I know." , Zihua immediately pulled Momoka into his arms, "I didn't plan on you to forgive me." ”
But Momoka immediately broke free, "It's business now!" Will you really help us? ”
"Yes." , Zihua nodded decisively in agreement.
Momoka, who knew enough about Zihua, immediately felt at ease, and then immediately grabbed Zihua's hand, "Great! Master, we're together again! ”
Momoka, who had just finished saying this, remembered what she had said, and immediately took a few steps back, hid behind Wang Xingjiang, and began to mutter, "Just now doesn't count, just now doesn't count......"
Wang Xingjiang, who was used as a shield, couldn't stand Zihua's playful eyes, and immediately changed the topic, "Okay, okay, we should go back." ”
On the way back, everyone was silent, and Yun Chang and Wang Xingjiang, who were in charge of accompanying Taoxiang to protect Taoxiang, both thought of the same thing: how to give Taoxiang a step down?
Momoka values her oath as much as her master, so she doesn't want to pay attention to Zihua, but the cause of all this is just that she can't help herself, so even if Zihua did do something wrong......
Okay, both of these people immediately vetoed their ideas, after all, the names of tens of thousands of people cannot be simply written off, and if Zihua is not allowed to get rid of her guilty body (non-court concept), it is impossible for Momoka to re-recognize her.
Yun Chang immediately fell into deep thought about this, and Wang Xingjiang wanted to complain: Why can't everyone sit down and have a good talk? Are there any problems that can't be solved through communication?
If the landlords can properly discuss the distribution of profits with the peasants, then everyone can make money continuously, which is far more peaceful than by annexing land. Although it earns a little less, it lasts a long time!
But he quickly came up with an explanation: since you are so easy to bully and "rich", then why should I spend time using inefficient methods to obtain shallow benefits? Wouldn't it be faster to get straight to the point?
Wouldn't it be more efficient for us to have them work like slaves if we owned all the land? That's how you can make more money!
With Wang Xingjiang's political achievements, he can only think of this level of interest exchange, but he feels that it is enough to explain the current situation.
Just like "a weak country has no diplomacy", there is no real fairness without equal strength, and the strong can be "willing" to be fair to the weak, but the mentally handicapped do not have the ability to demand fairness from the strong.
Unless there is a third party who can knock both parties down to determine what is fair, this involves the relationship between the third party and the people on both sides, and what "fairness" is in the eyes of the third party.
Ah, the human heart is so complicated......
After having this kind of unnutritious self-consolation thoughts, Wang Xingjiang also gave up continuing to think about the philosophy of life, after all, what they want to help now is the "weak", and they don't have to think about how to deal with the "strong" and "third party" - let's beat them down first!
Let's wait until we become "strong" to think about other things.
It's imperative to stay alive!
Wang Xingjiang, who understands his current thoughts, no longer dwells on such broad things, but instead thinks about something relatively more pragmatic.
For example, eating, drinking, sleeping, birth, old age, sickness and death, etc., but because most of these things have been handled "properly", there is no need to worry about it for the time being, he also took a long-term view and began to think about how to conquer the world...... This is too far, so it's better to get closer.
They are now just a wandering corps, after all, there is no supply of troops, and with more than 20,000 troops, they can't overthrow the whole world.
If you really want to pacify the world, just like in the game, you must have your own base, and then gradually develop yourself and expand your territory until you conquer the whole country.
So you still have to find a way to get your own base.
But this is not a game, even if each city does not have the army of the imperial court, there are also the troops of the trench squires, and they always have to fight or negotiate - don't think about the kind of good things like the empty cities everywhere in the early scripts of the Three Kingdoms.
No, we can wait for Dong Zhuo to burn Luoyang, it is definitely an empty city.
No, no, Wang Xingjiang immediately slapped himself in the face: a completely empty city is meaningless, what we need is a place with development potential, not an empty territory - this kind of place is really everywhere.
It's time to move out of his plug-in! According to the historical knowledge that Wang Xingjiang has learned, the development of the southern region of the Celestial Empire probably seems to have started from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, right? He doesn't remember this very well, but now it's not a big problem, he just needs to know one thing: the southern region of the Han Dynasty was definitely not as developed as the northern region.
Underdeveloped means that the economy and culture are not good, and the infrastructure is not good, but it also means that there are not so many big families, so it is more convenient for them to gain a foothold, and at least they will have a lot less hostile forces to subdue.
Wang Xingjiang only lost confidence in grabbing land here after inquiring about the approximate number of famous families in Jizhou, otherwise he would have planned to fight guerrillas outside Guangzong City.
I know the guerrilla warfare methods of the founding fathers, but I can't clean up a group of ancient people?
Then he found that he had no access to enough information to support guerrilla warfare: ordinary peasants had no source of information, and the clans would not cooperate with them. Charizard's intelligence-gathering capabilities alone are simply not enough, and the siege of the fourth river crossing is a typical negative example.
Then go south and bully Liu Biao in Jingzhou - I can't cure Yuan Shao, and I can't cure you?
I don't believe that there are so many big families in Jingzhou!
