"Uncle Shi, this is the Yunmeng Lake that has been famous for a long time in Zhuxia?"

At the same time, for the three Zhou Qing who had already left the mountain, they had returned to nature, without too many troubles, and they followed the Yuanshui and entered the city of Linyuan, which was close to the Chu State.

It was a city that had just been established in Qianzhong County decades ago, although the population was not large, but in view of the proximity to Yunmeng Daze, there were many rare things, and under the group of merchants, the city naturally developed.

Staying overnight in Linyuancheng, taking Xiaoling and Xiaoyi to play a game or two, it is to go east and cross a high mountain, enter the territory of Chu State, all the jungles are around, and the soldiers stationed there are almost non-existent, plus the civil strife in Chu State in recent years, there are not many.

I didn't travel long along the Yuanshui, and suddenly, the plains and hills suddenly opened up in front of me, and in the distance, a huge lake with an endless view appeared in the depths of the eyes of the three people.

It was evening, the heavens and the earth intersected, and the golden light rose from a distant place, reflecting the entire Yunmeng Great Lake, and the fiery red clouds in the depths of the void were even more reflected in it, and the two huge fireballs touched each other, showing the grandeur of heaven and earth.

Such a scene, not only Xiao Ling was amazed, but Zhou Qing was also the first time to see it, the three of them were on the narrow path, letting the horses move, and quietly watching the grand occasion of Yunmeng.

"The lake of Yunmeng connects the nine rivers, and the heavy lakes are endless, and the Chu State hundreds of years ago rose in this place, going north, east, and south step by step, swallowing dozens of vassal states."

"Really counted, there are only seven of the hundreds of vassal states left since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the credit of the Chu State is not small!"

Thousands of miles around Yunmeng Lake, fertile land, fishing and hunting spread to Zhuxia, hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Chu State relied on this place, laid the foundation, and then the Chu Wu King Xiong Tong's men, gradually growing.

When the northern countries fell into war, the state of Chu recovered the land of Baiyue in Lingnan, went east to swallow Wu Yue, and went north to destroy the princes of Xue and Chen, until today, the state of Chu is west to Jingchu, the winter solstice is the sea, the north enters the Huaishui region, and the south leads the entire Nuoda region.

In terms of the vastness of the territory, the state of Chu is even above the current state of Qin, but it is a pity that the state of Chu has been in a state of divide and rule for hundreds of years, and many big families such as Qu, Zhao, Jing, and Xiang in China are like feudal monarchs, dividing the huge state of Chu into the present.

All the way east, the dialect of the land of Chu has become more and more obvious, and the words have more and more characteristics of the Chu State, even in clothing, and a deep sigh is to find a place to rest in the gradually dimming sky.

"Uncle Shi, the east side of Yunmeng Lake is said to be full of barbarian people, do we still want to continue to go east?"

Close to Yunmeng Lake, coupled with the fact that the sky is getting darker, the curling smoke is gradually rising, and the roads are gradually widening.

Recognizing the direction of travel, Xiao Ling rode on top of the horse and looked at Zhou Qing.

"If you don't go east, it's useless to go east."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will go north along the river and go straight to the Huaishui area of Chu State, which is the core of Chu State, and only then can we really have a glimpse of the elegance of Chu State."

At this sound, Zhou Qing shook his head and continued to advance eastward, not only the barbarian Baiyue, but also the complex terrain of high mountains and valleys, the control of the Chu State over there has always been very weak, called the territory of the Chu State, but it does not enter the wind of the Chu State.

For! For! For! ……

A team of more than ten silver-armored cavalry rode by, and the wind passed over Zhou Qing and the three of them, setting off bursts of smoke and dust, filling the sky and the earth, the true yuan surged, isolating everything, without thinking much, after dozens of breaths, they found a simple restaurant in the market town and entered to eat.

"Uncle Shi, it's those people just now!"

On the open space in front of the door of the wine shop, more than a dozen horses were tied to the horse stake, Zhou Qing stepped forward, Xiao Ling looked at it curiously, whispered, glanced at his sister, and whispered Zhou Qing.

"They are members of the Shadow Tiger Legion directly under the command of the Chu royal family, each of them is an elite, and generally speaking, they are all guarding the royal family, and now that they appear here, there should be something important."

Zhou Qing nodded, and under the sound of heaven, he responded directly to the depths of Xiao Ling's heart.

For several years, he has been staying in the center of the Qin court, and he also knows a lot about the Chu State, although the Chu State is divided and ruled, but there are many elite regiments in the autonomous territories and the royal family's territories.

Adhering to the words of Sun Wu, a master of soldiers, in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military Struggle": Therefore, soldiers are established by deception, moved by profit, and changed by dividing peace. Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as invading as fire, as immobile as a mountain, as difficult as a cloud, and as moving as a thunderstorm.

For example, the Shadow Tiger Legion in front of him, such as the Eight Thousand Sons Legion of the Xiang Clan of the Military and Martial Arts Family, such as the Swift Wind Legion that shone in the fight against Qin a few years ago, all of them have divine marksmanship, and even the Wind Chasing Arc Arrows that have been passed down for hundreds of years have all appeared.

It's a pity that when the Hurricane Legion resisted the Qin State a few years ago, it was defeated by Wang Jian and his reputation was not obvious, and it is rumored that the commander of the Swift Wind Legion was punished by the King of Chu and disbanded.

"Uncle Shi, why are there so many martial artists here!"

The three of them didn't say much, and walked into the restaurant, the wide hall was already lit up at the moment, for the big city, there was a curfew, but here, it didn't exist.

In the hall illuminated by the firelight, more than a dozen cases were placed in an orderly manner, and the food of Chu was served out one by one, and the aroma was pervasive, and it seemed that it was ...... There are no more places left in the hall.

In addition to the more than a dozen members of the Shadow Tiger Legion who entered the restaurant one step ahead of them, there were also nearly twenty men in different costumes, and on each case, there were sword soldiers placed one by one, and the cold light loomed.

The spiritual sense spreads, in Xiao Ling's perception, in such a remote restaurant, there are no less than ten innate martial artists, although the strength is not strong, but appearing here, it is already completely different.

Not only that, as soon as the three of them stepped into it, they unconsciously burst out of the corners of the hall and fell on the three of them unabashedly.

"There's no place here, so we set up a room, and it's the same inside."

In a small ordinary market town wine shop, the appearance of people from the Shadow Tiger Legion and dozens of martial artists with good cultivation is indeed strange, but it has nothing to do with himself.

looked around, there was no spare case, and immediately walked to a corner, where the shopkeeper and others were, whispering to Xiaoling and Xiaoyi, and one step ahead.

"Qin people!"

"Centurion, the three of them are from the Qin State!"

Watching Zhou Qing and the three of them walk towards the corner of the hall of the wine shop, suddenly, the faces of the more than ten silver-armored soldiers who were close to the three of Zhou Qing changed their faces, and they would not be mistaken about the dialect of the Qin State.

Although Qin and Chu have been in-laws for hundreds of years, since the filial piety of Qin changed the law a hundred years ago, the most ruthless oppression of Chu was the Qin State.

Battle of Hanzhong!

The hatred of the king of Chu State!

The hatred of the left disciples!

In the Battle of Yanying, Qin General Bai Qi attacked and killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians!

……

Pile by pile, piece by piece, countless, and even a few years ago, the Qin general Wang Jian led his army to break through the Yingdu from Chu State, forcing Wang Shang to move the capital to Shouchun, how can such a big hatred be easily forgotten.

"Don't act rashly, our troops are scattered on this trip, and when the troops are united tomorrow, we will meet them again."

The eyes of the silver-armored soldiers kept looking at Zhou Qing and the others, and some soldiers even directly grabbed the spear in their hands and looked at a corner of the hall with a fierce look, but they were then suppressed by one person.

The man was also wearing silver armor, but the silver armor had two different chest guards, and he looked like a young man, glanced left and right, and said in a deep voice, while looking at the rest of the men in the hall.

There are important things to do in this trip, even if you meet a Qin person with a strange identity, you have to be completely sure before you can do it.

"Uncle Shi, they seem to be looking for trouble with us."

It seems that it is the first time to travel abroad, compared to Xiaoyi, who can't speak, Xiao Ling's words are more than one, from entering the wine shop to now the wine and food, the crisp words have not been broken.

Although the cultivation has only just been in the innate realm now, and the spiritual sense is not yet able to perceive all kinds of things keenly, but the sudden hostility in the hall before is extremely clear, although there is an uncle, there is no need to worry about trouble, but it always feels inexplicable.

"Trouble with us?"

"Looks like they're in trouble right now."

Although the little clothes on the side were silent, but the movements were sensitive, pouring the wine up, in the bronze cup, which was very different from the wine of the Qin State, sipping it, and listening to the words of the little spirit, hehe smiled.

"Trouble?"

Xiao Ling and Xiao Yi looked at each other in surprise, and as soon as the words fell, suddenly, there were chaotic sounds in the hall downstairs, mixed with the sounds of killing and sword touching.

For a while, in the quiet room, it fell silent, the little spirit knot did not exist, and the young man's nature was released, hearing this, his curiosity flourished leisurely, and he immediately smiled at Zhou Qing, pushed open the door with small steps, and went to watch the excitement.

"Go and follow your brother, lest he get into trouble too."

After a few breaths, the purple-clothed girl who was kneeling and sitting on the side waved her hand with one hand, and suddenly the girl's eyes narrowed with a smile, and she saluted, and followed the steps of each to go out, also wanting to see the excitement.

Only Zhou Qing was left alone to drink in the quiet room, tasting the flavor of Chu State, although so, the spiritual sense shrouded the entire wine shop, although he never went out, but everything that happened in the hall fell in the depths of his eyes.

"The remnants of the Chu Guozhuang clan!"

"The Zhuang family? Could it be...... Zhuang Xin's descendants? ”

The sword killing dispute in the hall of the wine shop arose, listening to the fragmentary words in their mouths, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, and muttered in his mouth, being called the remnants of the Zhuang clan by the people of the Shadow Tiger Legion.

This title is not something that anyone is qualified to bear, throughout the history of the Chu State for hundreds of years, Zhou Qing thought about it, it seems that there is really a match, if this is the case, then the Zhuang clan is really okay, it has been hunted down by the Xiang clan for decades, until now, there are still remnants of the clan.
