Chapter 194, the soldier out of the valley
194
…
At this moment, there is a strange atmosphere surging in the whole world.
Except during the busy farming period, every storyteller in the city must be surrounded by a large crowd of people, and even if it is a patrolling city defense battalion, it will inevitably deliberately stop at the storyteller's side in the name of maintaining law and order.
In the early morning of this day, the literate bought the daily newspaper early, and the illiterate took up positions in various parts of the city, waiting for the storyteller to read the newspaper every day, and even some literate people would pick a place to sit and wait.
After a while, some storytellers started to go to work, holding rice cake fritters in their right hands, holding a wooden cup (soybean milk) in their left hand, and a gourd (water) hanging from their waists.
Just as he said that, the scholar teased the generals with illusions, and in this teahouse, tavern, and tea stall, there was a sudden sound of righteous indignation!
"Despicable man! is so despicable and obscene, with a little strength, he oppresses us and other martial artists like this! ”
"That's it, he still suppressed me many times in the court!"
"We've never been so aggressive before."
"Huh!"
At this moment, a piercing voice came: "A mortal is a mortal!" Only here will be the sound of barking dogs. How dare you do it to the immortals! You mortals should be killed! ”
Everyone immediately looked at them angrily, but saw a young man sneering, looking at them with contempt and contempt, and immediately said with disdain: "Mortals, they should kneel on the ground and beg, those killed soldiers are just careless." ”
At this moment, a dark shadow enveloped him, and the young man looked up to see that a general in black iron armor looked at him expressionlessly, and spat out a sentence: "Get out!" Otherwise die! ”
The young man sneered, and his figure suddenly blurred, obviously using the ability of a soldier to suspect a soldier.
However, at this moment, a big thick black hand full of calluses suddenly stretched out, grabbed a place in the air on the side of the young man, and suddenly pinched it fiercely, accompanied by a muffled snort, a young man suddenly floated out of the air.
Apparently, he was about to leave his seat, intending to tease the general, but the general recognized it and grabbed him by the neck.
The general didn't do anything to him after all, just threw him out of the tavern.
After this incident, those present are not only filled with righteous indignation. After all, it is indeed related to their interests, not individually, but by their side, and all the warriors cannot slack off, and they decide to work harder.
As for the culprit of all this, God Huaxu, no one complained, or even deliberately avoided it, not thinking about it, so as not to shake his piety and attribute the source of this matter to the despicability of the scholars.
In addition to the dispute provoked at the beginning, a large number of scholars spontaneously joined, chasing and beating the warriors, in a vain attempt to trample the warriors.
It was even proposed to ban all storytellers in the country, as well as related and comics.
And as the driving force behind the scenes, Ji Hee has been keeping a close eye on this matter so that the situation does not get out of control.
And because of the confrontation between the warriors and the warriors, both sides were holding their breath, and under this pressure, both sides were making rapid progress.
However, in September of the sixth year of Qin, a piece of news made the headlines of Langya Daily!
The only general in the world with the power of a dragon - Hong Tao was assassinated, and the assassin is suspected of Xu Qi, who was recruited by the Qi State with a lot of money and treated as the prime minister.
Hong Tao's subordinates went to question, but Xu Qi said without hesitation: "Nonsense, this prime minister is the prime minister of Qi State, in charge of Qi State affairs, running around every day, sharing worries for His Majesty, where did he get the time to assassinate Hong Tao?" ”
And Xu Qi's staff also sneered: "Yes, my prime minister is busy with government affairs, and besides, the prime minister is a daughter, and Hong Tao is a famous general in the world with the power of a dragon, and the first place on the list of famous generals in Langya, you are clearly framed!" It should be that Hong Tao is dissatisfied with the prime minister and deliberately finds fault, right? ”
Hong Taomen's questioning was fruitless, and they really didn't have any direct evidence to prove that Xu Qi did it, so they went to the palace again and asked His Majesty the Emperor of Qi to make decisions for them.
However, the emperor of Qi did not hesitate to reprimand him, calling it vexatious, the prime minister has every opportunity, how could he assassinate the general, and then sent an order to the general (Hong Tao), let him recuperate, the military affairs can be handed over to his subordinates, as for the murderer behind the scenes, he will send someone to search.
It's not that Emperor Qi is stupid, even he knows that the murderer behind the scenes is Xu Qi, and even the information on Hong Tao's whereabouts was given by him, he also knows that Hong Tao has made great achievements for the Qi country, expanded the territory for the Qi country, and fought for the Qi country all his life.
But, there is such an idiom, called-
Meritorious and shocking!
Now that Xu Qi has taken the initiative to hand over the handle to Emperor Qi, it means that when Xu Qi loses his value one day, or when he is equally successful, it is time for Emperor Qi to smash out these evidences and oust Xu Qi from power.
Compared to Xu Qi, Hong Tao is different!
He's so good!
When he was young, he was still reckless, but he couldn't find any big mistakes, after the perennial battle, Hong Tao became the hope of the entire Qi country, not only became the leader of all the generals and soldiers, but also became a big hero among the people, and everyone took it as an example.
The people only know Hong Tao, but they don't know Emperor Qi.
This time it was only a slight suppression, and Emperor Qi naturally knew that Hong Tao was loyal, and he would only think that he was blinded, and he would definitely not leave Qi because of this matter.
Wait for him to suppress Hong Tao's prestige, and then win over the generals in the army and seize military power. At that time, he will make compensation and release Hong to play against Xu Qi, so as not to dominate Xu Qi's family.
Emperor Qi's abacus can be described as crackling, but seven days later, a piece of news came that made him confused.
Hong Tao fled and took with him a large number of key generals.
Emperor Qi hurriedly sent people to chase him, but found that Hong Tao and his party seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and they couldn't find any traces at all.
This suddenly made Emperor Qi's face ugly, and he began to send people to investigate the personnel contacts in Hongtao's mansion in the past few days, focusing on whether Xu Qi's people had come to Hongtao's mansion, but he understood very well that after leaving a Hongtao, he couldn't let Xu Qi leave, but he still wanted to find out.
In the end, after a secret visit, it was finally determined that Xu Qi and his family had not come to Hongtao's mansion, and only some generals came to condole, which made Emperor Qi a little puzzled, what was the problem.
At the same time, in the attached port of the Qingl Island base, a Galen ship left the port.
On the boat, a general about 58 years old looked at the coast, spraying black fog towards the blue sky and discharging sewage into the sea.
"What is Hong Gong thinking?" A young man walked up to Hong Tao, followed his gaze, and said with a smile: "These factories are about to be demolished, and since the appearance of spiritual power, this kind of heavily polluting factories are being replaced one by one. ”
"This is the headquarters of Langya Pavilion?" Hong Tao asked.
"No, to be precise, Laoshan is the headquarters of Langya Pavilion, and this is just an industrial base." The young man confessed.
Hong Tao sighed: "I didn't expect that Langya Pavilion was actually from the Qin State. ”
The young man frowned slightly, and corrected: "No, Langya Pavilion does not belong to the Qin State, but currently supports the Qin State, although I know that Hong Gong is tempting, but I still said it."
Could it be that Gong Hong thinks that if you go back now, Emperor Qi will forgive you? ”
"......" Hong Tao was silent.
After a long time, Hong Tao asked: "If all the countries today are recruiting scholars, and the scholars of the world despise martial artists, and the Qin State recruits me, are you not afraid of the centrifugation of the corporals?" ”
"Don't be afraid. Leaving the Qin State means giving up the way to progress. Moreover, the Qin State has now defeated the Ba State, won the land of the Ba State, and pacified the southwest, which has become a condescending situation, and the tiger is in the west, just waiting for the times to change, and the natural soldiers send a letter to Guguan, destroy the five countries, sweep the world, and make the five mountains and the four seas subdued. The young man said confidently.
Half a month later, Hong Tao entered the Qin State, and the official worshiped the general Zhengdong, and was reused by Yuan Yilin.
At this moment, the Qin State used two kinds of title systems, one was a scholar, one was a warrior, one was a knighthood system, and the other was a military merit title system.
Therefore, although Hong Tao got the title of official, and also got the mansion, finance, and servants, but he did not have a title, that is to say, after Hong Tao's death, after three generations, there is still no military merit, and all this will be taken back.
And the news of Hong Tao's entry into the Qin State also spread throughout the countries, and on that day, a lot of porcelain was broken in the court of the Qi State.
In the year when Ji Xi was 18 years old, the struggle between scholars and warriors had reached its peak, and the Qin State had also thoroughly digested Badi and the southwest, and after accepting scholars and warriors from all over the world, the Qin State could be described as a strong army.
Of course, during this period, there were also many scholars of hundreds of schools who left the Qin State due to the temptation of the heavy profits of the countries, but Ji Xi did not stop it, but closed the corresponding exchange list and emptied the contribution value.
At this moment, there are ten corporal people in the world, and the Qin State occupies six of them.
There are ten warriors in the world, and the Qin State occupies four of them.
After submitting the declaration of war to the Xia State, 100,000 soldiers sent a letter to Guguan and went straight to Yiyang, the Xia State.
The emperor of Xia immediately sent an envoy to threaten Qin, if Qin attacked Xia, Xia would be attached to other countries, and it would be better to be broken than broken!
And Yuan Yilin directly ignored it, with the advantage of the transcendent network, he devoured half of the territory of Xia State in four months, and Xia Guo finally made up his mind and asked for reinforcements from other countries.
And the Qi State was the first to participate in the war, and even only the Xia State was responsible for the logistics and baggage, and nothing else was needed, and he also helped send envoys to persuade other countries.
In the next eight months, the states of Yan, Jing, and Wu joined the war, sending a large number of troops, scholars, and generals.
For no other reason, the Qin State is ambitious, not only is it strong, but it also has the ability to rejuvenate and rejuvenate the country that they want most, and maybe they can defeat the Qin State through this war, and get what they want, and also achieve the goal of containing the Qin State.
Moreover, the battlefield was within the territory of the Xia Kingdom after all, and the losses to their country were much less, which was also one of the reasons for them to make up their minds.
In this way, the Qin State suddenly felt very difficult, this was no longer a war between Qin and Xia, but a war that affected the pattern of the world, and the pressure deepened again.
