Chapter 164: It's not a one-time effort

At this time, Qingji didn't know that he had been targeted by Fucha and others, and he was always in danger of being assassinated.

In a thorny, lush primeval forest, Qingji's patrol team was marching slowly.

The guard who walked in the front kept waving the Wu hook in his hand, cutting off the thorns blocking the way one by one, opening a path for Qingji.

They were so tired and sweaty that they were panting like oxen, and Qingji didn't rest, and then they waved their swords and cut down the branches and thorn bushes that stood in the way!

This kind of personal practice makes Qingji feel how difficult it is to inhabit or walk in this primeval forest.

The patrol team was originally equipped with a lot of chariots, but stepping into this kind of deep mountains and old forests, where the miasma is thick, it is difficult to say that it is a chariot, even ordinary horses are difficult to walk.

As a result, Qingji and his entourage could only abandon the chariot and adopt the method of walking to enter the southwest of Wu State.

It's a pity that they still underestimate the sinister nature of this mountain wilderness!

Poisonous insects, beasts, dense forests, swamps...... All kinds of things have become obstacles for Qingji and the others to move forward.

"Ahh

"Snake!"

"There are snakes!"

Suddenly, there was a cacophony of shouts at the back of the line.

Everyone was taken aback!

I saw that in the dense thorn bush on one side, a poisonous snake came out coldly and bit the body of a guard.

The guard couldn't help screaming in pain, and his whole body seemed to be paralyzed by snake venom!

Seeing this, the nearby guards couldn't help but be stunned, and the people who reacted had already unconsciously taken a few steps back and put on a defensive posture.

Xiong Zidan, who was following Qingji, stepped up with an arrow, raised his sword and fell, and immediately cut the poisonous snake that bit people and tried to escape into the thorn bush into two pieces.

The venomous snake with a different head in the body, the two parts of the body are still wriggling, obviously not breathing yet.

In order to prevent the poisonous snake from spewing more deadly venom, the surrounding people had to stand as far away as possible.

And the guard who was bitten by the poisonous snake was already purple, and his body was constantly trembling, obviously the snake venom had soaked into his heart and spleen, and the medicine stone was incurable!

Seeing Su Wei's miserable and helpless appearance, Qing Ji couldn't bear it, so he looked around and asked left and right: "Gentlemen, who knows what kind of poisonous snake this is?" Is its snake venom curable? ”

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't stand up to reply for a long time.

Even well-informed people like Sun Wu and Wu Zixu have never seen this kind of poisonous snake, so how can they talk about the antidote?

Xiong Zidan squatted down and carefully examined the poisonous snake, but saw that its snake skin was gray-black in color, the scales were delicate and shiny, and the eyes were black, reflecting a dangerous light.

"My lord, the ministers do not know such poisonous snakes. However, the minister has seen it once! ”

Xiong Zidan said with palpitations: "In the past, the ministers went north from Yunnan, and among the people who accompanied them, they were also bitten by this snake, and there was no medicine stone to cure it. ”

Hearing this, Qingji fell silent.

After a while, the guard who had been bitten by the poisonous snake fainted from the unbearable pain, and finally swallowed his breath!

"Good life and burial."

Qingji could only put down such words and motioned for the accompanying guards to bury him here.

Walking through such a primeval forest is really dangerous.

Even if Qingji is brave and brave, with so many guards to protect him, it is inevitable that his life will not be in danger!

Sun Wu, who was on the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "King, the biggest crisis here is not the blockage of mountain roads, miasma, poisonous insects, all of which threaten the safety of the walkers. ”

"If the king wants to develop the southwest land, it is only a matter of reclamation, which is far from enough, and it is still necessary to build official roads to connect the Wu capital, strengthen the connection between the two places, and at the same time, it can also be maintained more to avoid more innocent victims."

"Good!"

Qingji already had such a thought in his mind.

Sun Wu's thoughts coincided with his.

However, how easy is it to develop an almost barren place?

It's not a one-time effort!

Historically, it was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, because of the Han family's clothes and clothes to the south, that the Jiangnan region was vigorously developed and became the economic center of the dynasties.

However, just cultivating the official road and cultivating the land is obviously not enough to meet the needs of Wu to vigorously develop the southwest.

A plan that is not yet mature is gradually brewing in Qingji's mind.

"Roar!"

Just as Qingji was talking to Sun Wu, in the mountains and forests in the distance, there was a sudden roar of a fierce beast that was angry.

Everyone was startled, and only the sound of man and beast fighting echoed together.

A group of guards hurriedly guarded Qingji's surroundings to prevent wild beasts from invading their king.

"King, this is the cry of a bear!"

Xiong Zidan, who had been living between the mountains and wilderness in his early years, could immediately distinguish the cry of this beast.

Bear?

Qingji couldn't help frowning.

"Let's take a look."

With a wave of his hand, Qing Ji immediately took the lead and walked towards the source of the bear's cry.

With so many sharp soldiers by his side, coupled with his own fierce force value, Qingji is not afraid of larger animals such as dogs and bears.

Qingji and his party came to the edge of a small stream, only to see a group of dark-skinned "wild men" wearing animal skin skirts hunting a huge black bear.

This black bear is about more than a foot tall, with a small hill in general, and it looks like it weighs a full 600 catties!

What a big guy!

Qingji guessed that this group of Nanxi Yi, who were dressed like primitive people, should have met this black bear by chance.

Otherwise, relying on those rudimentary weapons in their hands, how could they defeat the great black bear with natural divine power?

I saw the black bear waving its bear paws there, moving forward, invincible and slapping to death one after another people who came to hunt.

It roared, facing the clusters of arrows radiated by the Shanyue people, or the spears that pierced it, the stone axes and big sticks that were chopped down, it was not afraid at all, and it just relied on its own extremely strong physique to block the attacks of various weapons in turn!

The big black bear with rough skin and thick flesh is like an invincible chariot, crushing the Shanyue people who hunt him nearby.

The blood, which has stained the babbling stream, is full of sorrow for a while.

At such times, Qingji can choose to watch from the wall.

However, this is not his usual style!

Although the Shanyue people did not submit to the state of Wu, the purpose of Qingji was to completely conquer them and make them completely subordinate to themselves!

With a "bang", Qingji suddenly pulled out the Longyuan sword pinned to his waist and rushed towards the black bear who was exerting his might.

"Up!"

Seeing Qingji's "impulsiveness", Xiong Zidan didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly beckoned a group of guards to go up to escort him.
