The thief who survived the catastrophe was scared out of a cold sweat.

If it weren't for his quick enough reaction, the thief who was pierced through the chest by Chang Yan would have been his fate!

However, the next thief is inevitable.

I saw that the car where Qingji was slammed into the car where the thief was standing, and the thief's body was suddenly shocked, and he almost lost his stability and fell under the horse.

At this time, Qing Ji had already jumped up, and the blood-stained Long Yuan Sword in his hand slashed, and before the thief next to the thief could react, he was already in a different place!

"Drink!"

The thief shouted violently and swung his sword towards Qingji.

With a "bell", the bronze sword in the thief's hand hit the Longyuan sword, and it instantly collapsed!

The severed blade was flung out.

The thief was stunned.

You know, this bronze sword of his is not an ordinary material!

Who would have thought that it could be cut off by Qingji's sword?

The thief didn't have time to think about it, and in the face of the long sword swung by Qing Ji, he could only turn his head and dodge.

However, Qingji's power depends on more than just the Longyuan Sword!

I saw Qingji kick out suddenly, and the thief could block it with both arms, looking embarrassed.

Qingji was unforgiving, grabbed the thief's wrist, grabbed it, and kicked the thief's thigh down.

The thief couldn't help but snort in pain, knelt down on one knee, and Qingji's Longyuan sword was on his neck!

"The thief has been caught!"

"The thief is bound! How dare you and other thieves go wild? ”

"Drop! Fall! ”

Seeing this, Xiong Zidan, Xu Menchao and others immediately shouted loudly.

The subordinates under the command of the thief, seeing that their leader had been captured alive and their lives were on the verge of death, they couldn't help but look at each other, and did not continue to fight with Kong Qiu, Zilu and others.

The situation on the battlefield instantly became stagnant!

The thieves did not dare to act rashly at all.

"Thieves, let your men lay down their weapons."

Qing Ji grabbed the thief's shoulder with one hand, and at the same time pressed the Long Yuan Sword against his neck, the threat was self-evident!

If the thief does not comply, he may be worried about his life!

"If I wait, I may live?"

"I'm sure Paul's life is safe."

Qingji just replied lightly.

Hearing this, the thief opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't choose to resist!

After all, the man behind him is brave and unmatched, and he is holding his life, how dare the thief mess around?

In line with the principle that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, the thief finally gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Put down your weapons!" ”

"Lord!"

"Lay down your arms!"

The thieves shouted loudly, and the thieves around them finally put down their weapons one after another, shrugged their heads, and grabbed them like frosted eggplants.

Just one order can make all the thieves give up resistance, which shows that the thieves are strict in governing the army and have the style of a general.

His prestige in the hearts of thieves is also very high!

Immediately, the thieves were tied up, and most of the property that the thieves had plundered was returned to their original owners.

"Gentleman, in Xia Kongqiu, I don't know what to call a gentleman?"

Seeing that the thieves and other thieves had been controlled, Kong Qiu followed and saluted Qingji, with a very humble attitude, which made people feel good.

Obviously, Kong Qiu is planning to make friends with Qingji!

Intuition told Kong Qiu that the origin of this young man in front of him was definitely not ordinary!

"Sir, just call me jealous."

"It turned out to be a jealous gentleman!"

Kong Qiu's heart was not without some regrets.

Qingji didn't tell his name and surname, obviously he didn't plan to have a deep friendship with Kong Qiu!

Just as Qingji and Kong Qiu were greeting, on the turbulent river, many huge warships suddenly went down the river.

Crimson flags hung above the masts, and the sturdy armor soldiers stood on the deck, staring ahead, their faces grim, and their bodies exuding an almost suffocating aura.

"Wu Jun!"

"It's Wu Jun! I didn't expect the Wu army to reinforce so quickly! ”

"Could it be that they already knew that the thieves would lead their troops to plunder the merchants here?"

The crowd was amazed.

When the warship docked, the father and son of Sun Ping, Sun Wu, and the leaders hurriedly ran down, lined up the crowd, and knelt in front of Qingji without saying anything, and lowered his hand and said: "King! The ministers are too late to save the car, and they ask the king to forgive their sins! ”

"What?"

Everyone present couldn't help but scream.

"King! Don't...... This brave gentleman is the king of Wu? ”

"King Wu is really young! It's really as rumored, the courage is unparalleled, and it's not a problem to tear the tiger and leopard! ”

Regarding Qingji's true identity, Kong Qiu, Cao Wei and others were shocked.

Judging from Qingji's words and deeds, and how he dressed, they could guess that Qingji's identity was not simple, but they just didn't think that he was the king of Wu!

In this regard, Qingji just laughed it off, and after letting Sun Ping, Sun Wu, father and son get up, he looked around again, looked at the group of businessmen, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, today's matter, let you and others be frightened!" ”

"This is all my Wu Guo's shortcomings!"

"From now on, in order to cater to the world's merchants and travelers entering Wu, Wu will open up rivers, overhaul official roads, build bridges, and sweep away all bandits in the territory!"

"Please tell the gentlemen widely, and Qingji is grateful!"

After saying that, Qingji made a deep gesture towards the people around him!

He put his posture so low, which really won everyone's favor.

Cao Wei was even more excited, and responded: "Please rest assured, King Wu!" The sincerity of Wu Guo to welcome the world's scholars and businessmen into Wu is enough! ”

"After I return, I should sing for Wu Guo!"

"Exactly!"

With Wu Wang Qingji's face-to-face assurance, who dares to doubt Wu Guo's sincerity?

In addition, Qing Ji defeated the thieves and other thieves, not only to save their lives, but also to save the merchants and their goods.

How could they not be grateful to Dade for the sincerity of proclaiming a great change in the state of Wu for the sake of Qingji?

After the matter was over, Qingji instructed the great Sima Sun to use a warship to transport the scholars and merchants and all their goods to the other side, which made everyone even more grateful to Qingji.

……

After Qingji returned to the palace of King Wu, he summoned all the three princes and nine kings, including Wu Zixu, the commander of Wudu County, as well as Ji Za, Sun Wu, and Ji Ran, to the Zide Hall for discussion.

Qing Ji sat on the throne, sat upright, glanced at the minister doctor under His Majesty's platform, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, the widow has benefited a lot from this private visit. ”

"I, Wu State, have implemented a new law to reduce tariffs to cater to the world's merchants entering Wu, but we are not well prepared!"

"Wu is full of mountains and swamps, dense water networks, and convenient shipping, but the official roads and bridges everywhere are in disrepair, or there are only rugged mountain roads, which are not convenient for business travel."

"During the rainy season, the roads are muddy and the bridges are in danger of collapsing."

"In the mountains and rivers, there are also thieves and beasts, blocking the road and robbing, hurting people's lives, and the merchants and travelers are very afraid of it, and they are afraid that they will not return to Wu."

After a pause, Qingji said loudly again: "Therefore, the intention of the widow, my Wu country has to repair official roads and bridges, open mountains when encountering mountains, and build bridges when encountering water, so as to connect the Central Plains and make all the merchants and travelers in Wu unimpeded!" ”
