34 The envoy of the king of Chu - Zhao Slip

The wind in early spring is still a little steep, summoning the slippery and wrapping the fur on his body, riding on the war horse and galloping all the way, day and night, straight to Yingdu.

Zhao Hua is a famous aristocratic minister of Chu State, a well-known minister of the anti-Qin faction, and has many confrontations with the former famous Qin minister Zhang Yi, and his talent is very outstanding.

And this guy is still a well-known top nobleman - the ancestors can be traced back to the King of Chu (that is, the guy who appointed Wu Qi to change the law in Chu State). It can be said that whether it is bloodline or status, Zhaohua can be regarded as a top minister.

is such an important minister, who was secretly sent to the Yue Kingdom by the King of Chu, and engaged in underground work in the Yue Kingdom for five years.

Today's Yue Guo has been called to slide with his own strength and stir the world upside down.

The surging passion surged in Zhao Slip's heart, and it seemed that the spring breeze on horseback was not so cold - Zhao Slip galloped, and wanted to laugh a few words heartily.

It's time to close the net!

……

Zhao Glide rode the horse at a gallop, and did not spare his horsepower at all - he slapped the horse's ass under the crotch fiercely, and repeatedly kicked the horse's lower abdomen with his shins.

The war horse was in pain, and its speed seemed to be a little faster.

The state of Chu is located in the south, and there has always been no war horse resources, and this kind of horse must be strictly protected, but Zhao Hua knows the importance of his mission, and he can't care about the precious war horse.

Seeing the war horse under his crotch foaming at the mouth, Zhao Sliding took a deep breath, put his hand on the pergola and looked at it from afar, and his spirit was lifted!

A city appeared in the distance, and there was a big word [Zhongli] at the gate of the city.

The soldiers at the city gate saw that Zhao Slip was coming from a distance, and they didn't seem to have the intention of slowing down, so they couldn't help but raise their spears and swords as if they were facing a great enemy......

"Envoy of the King of Chu! Don't be stopped! Zhao Slip shouted, and his right hand took something out of his bosom and shook it fiercely.

The city gate captain is a literate person, stretched out his hand to copy, and looked at it, it was a token, and there was only a big word on it - '芈'.

The captain of the city gate gasped and knelt on the ground with all the soldiers: "The defenders of Zhongli meet the king's envoy!" ”

Zhaoli had already driven his horse straight into the city, leaving everyone with a dashing back......

Zhao Hua didn't stay in Zhongli for long, he held the token, and naturally ran rampant. He rushed to the post station to change into a fast horse, left the poor horse under his crotch in Zhongli to recuperate, ate a few more mouthfuls of steamed buns, drank two sips of cold water, and then got on the horse again.

'From [Zhongli] along the Huaishui all the way to the west, it is [Quyang]. Zhao Slip muttered silently in his heart.

……

As soon as he entered the Quyang realm, he felt a little wrong.

The smile on the face of the old farmer on the side of the road was a little too bright.

The road under the horses' hooves is also tight and smooth, and the rammed earth road is paved with a layer of smooth gravel. On both sides of the road, a row of landscape trees is budding.

In the fields, spring ploughing has begun, but the plows in the hands of those farmers are strangely shaped, and the movements do not resemble the movements of ploughing - making Zhao slip confused.

Due to his official duties, Zhao Slip just suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to gallop on his horse.

Feeling that the war horse under his crotch was already a little tired, he summoned the horse to the side of the road and greeted the old farmer in the field: "Boss! ”

The peasant people were working, and when they saw the people riding horses and dressed in luxurious clothes, they paid attention to them. Seeing that the man on the horse turned over and dismounted, and came straight to his own people, the peasants could not help but look at each other.

Zhao Slip held the reins of the horse with one hand and clenched his fists with both hands: "A few old men, the juniors are coming from outside the county and want to ask for directions." ”

When the old peasants heard this, they immediately glanced at each other vaguely meaningfully, but did not answer.

Zhao Slip didn't notice the strangeness of these people. After all, the people in front of them were dark-skinned, their hands were full of calluses, and they looked like honest croppers, and they had already let down their vigilance. Seeing that a few people didn't talk, Zhao Hua thought that they were a little afraid, or wanted some benefits.

Zhao Hua smiled kindly, and casually took out a few strings of copper coins from his sleeve: "Ladies and gentlemen, I was just passing by, and there was no malice." ”

The oldest old farmer took the copper coin in Zhao Hua's hand, and said with a smiling face: "This adult, I don't know what I want to know, but the old man knows everything!" ”

Zhao Hua smiled with satisfaction: "I'm from Yueguo, and I dare to ask my father-in-law - where should Quyang City go?" ”

The old farmer and the others looked at each other meaningfully, and smiled, revealing a mouthful of crooked teeth. Before Zhao Slip could react, the old farmer grabbed Summon's sleeve with one hand.

"You are the spies from the Yue Kingdom that Lord Xiong told us to watch out for!"

Zhao Hua didn't understand what the old farmer was talking about, but when he saw several farmers rushing towards him, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to his waist, trying to pull out the sword at his waist.

But the old peasant pressed Zhao Slip's hand to prevent him from drawing his sword. The strength of the croppers was beyond Zhaosli's expectations, and before he could resist, Zhaohua was thrown to the ground by several old farmers, holding his hands and feet firmly, unable to move.

"There is no car behind him, and he is alone and riding a horse, so he is definitely not a business trip!"

"Dude! I heard that Zhao Laohan in the west of the village caught a group of spies a few days ago and received many rewards from the lord, but I never thought that such a good thing would let us catch up! One farmer said with obvious excitement in his tone.

"Don't make a noise, tie him up!" The old farmer scolded.

Zhaohua had not had a good rest for many days, but now he was thrown to the ground by this group of farmers and almost fainted. Choking on a mouthful of loess, he felt groggily that someone had put his hand behind his back and tied it up with something.

Listening to the words of this group of old farmers, he was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to spit out a mouthful of sand and dirt, so he hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen! I'm also from Chu, so I don't have any malice, I'm just passing by here, it's not a Yue country! ”

The old peasant smiled behind him, and tied the rope in a dead knot: "I still want to fool the old man, a spy like you, our militia has caught not ten or eight." I've been to the propaganda meeting on the prevention of spies in the farm, and your disguise is the worst. ”

"I am the envoy of the king of Chu, and I have the king's token on my waist, let me go!" Summoning the slide struggled.

A grim-faced peasant man on the side snorted and said impatiently, "Hugh is noisy! He took a crumpled handkerchief from his bosom and shoved it into his mouth.

Seeing that the handkerchief was dirty and crumpled, I couldn't tell what color it was. Zhao Hua was opening his mouth to speak, but he didn't react for a while, and was shoved into his mouth with a handkerchief.

The entrance is a smell of salt, and Zhao Slip is shocked!

Zhao Slip, who has lived the life of a noble son since he was a child, has never been exposed to such things even if he is not a cleanliness addict.

Smoked by the smell of sweat from the handkerchief, Zhao Slip barely believed it, or rather, couldn't react to what the group had done to him.

With a snort, the pitiful little thing left in the stomach came up. However, when he put a handkerchief in his mouth, he couldn't spit it out. Feeling the thick smell of vomit in his mouth, Zhao Slip rolled his eyes and passed out in a semi-unconscious.

……

I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Slip woke up groggily, and there was a magnificent fortified city in front of him.

I only heard what the city gate captain at the city gate said to a few old peasants, and waved his hand.

Three or five wolf-like soldiers pounced on him, carried the summons and left.
