Zhong Qiang did not answer Xiong Yu's question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Do you know the three ancient kingdoms that disappeared in Chinese history?" ”

Xiong Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Loulan, Dali, Yelang, these three ancient kingdoms all mysteriously disappeared from history overnight, and have become a subject that historians have been studying for thousands of years. ”

Zhong Qiang looked at Xiong Yu's dagger, approached his neck intentionally or unintentionally, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to hide anything anymore, and immediately said: "Yes, it has a lot to do with it, at least there is an inseparable relationship between the Yelang Ancient Kingdom and the 'Female' Village, you should know the history of the Yelang Ancient Kingdom, right?" ”

Xiong Yu thought for a while and said: "It started in the Warring States and was destroyed in the Western Han Dynasty, after more than 300 years... ”

Zhong Qiang organized his language and said: "Actually, the emergence of the Zhong family and the emergence of the Yelang Ancient Kingdom are almost in the same era, both originated in the Warring States Period, and the Zhong family did not operate red sleeves during the Warring States Period, but a small prince in the Warring States, which was later swept away by the Qin State.

However, the Zhong family has been very cautious since ancient times, before it was destroyed, its core personnel had been secretly transferred, and the head of the family of that generation was also very wise, and from the destruction of the country, he realized a truth, that is, no matter which country, it will not exist for a long time, and if you want to survive for a long time in the long river of history, you must change the way of survival.

As a result, the core members of their family have been studying how to change their way of life.

It was not until the establishment of the Qin Dynasty that the Zhong family set a thousand-year plan, that is, a new survival model of "taking the development of the family as the core, taking the operation of the Qinglou as the channel for external revenue and 'communication', not being in the limelight, and developing secretly".

In fact, the Zhong family succeeded.

Qinglou is an indispensable thing in any era, the "mixed" low-end Qinglou are all the three religions and nine streams, and the "mixed" high-end Qinglou are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, such a place is enough to produce various interests in any strata of society.

The red sleeve move was created by the Zhong family in the Qin Dynasty, a green building that has not fallen down for thousands of years!

Although the Qin Dynasty was strong, it did not toss for long in history, and after the unification of the Six Kingdoms, it quickly perished in less than a hundred years.

Subsequently, it ushered in a heyday in Chinese history, the Han Dynasty!

At this time, the Zhong family ushered in the first crisis, that is: at that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, and the Red Sleeve Recruit had invested heavily and the information obtained from the Red Sleeve Trick to fund Liu Bang at that time.

However, what the Zhong family didn't expect was that as a generation of founding emperors, Liu Bang only had the consciousness of sharing hardships, but he had no idea of being rich and noble at all!

After he became the emperor, those famous heroes who followed him in the past, such as Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, etc., were all killed by him under various names.

Among them, before Han Xin died, he said a sentence that made the head of the Zhong family at that time have an unusually strong sense of crisis, that sentence is: "The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking!" ”

It was also at that time that the head of the Zhong family got another news from the red sleeve move, that is, Zhang Liang, a generation of saints who had helped Liu Bang compete for the world, retired in time after Liu Bang became the emperor.

The Zhong family made another wise decision that night, that is, to learn from Zhang Liang, immediately go into hiding, no longer make any demands with Liu Bang, and even reluctantly cut off the connection with various forces in the court, and only made a green building.

Liu Bang saw that the Zhong family knew each other, and there was no longer any threat to his throne, so he didn't do anything to the Zhong family again.

But since then, the people of the Zhong family have a strong sense of crisis.

They all know very well that they can avoid this disaster, not necessarily the second disaster, and that they must have a way out if they want to survive for a thousand years.

It was also at this time that the precipitous places all over the country entered the Zhong family's field of vision.

In the end, they chose two places, one of which is the 'junction' between the Tianshan Mountains and Kunlun, that is, the Lin Mountain!

In ancient times, the 'traffic' was very inconvenient, Xianglin Mountain, a place at the 'junction' of two huge mountain ranges, was simply a no-man's land, not disturbed by the outside world at all, even the emperor could not manage here, this is a no-man's land!

However, it is also extremely difficult to build a refuge base in such a place, because the way to enter here at that time was even more difficult than the Shu Road at that time, and the difficulty of the Shu Road was already difficult to go to the blue sky, and ordinary people here could not walk at all.

At this time, the Zhong family's idea had to be temporarily put on hold.

However, after a while, not far from this land, there was a small country called Yelang Ancient Kingdom, which entered the Zhong family's field of vision.

It is also a coincidence that at that time, the ancient kingdom of Yelang had already been subjugated to the Han Dynasty, and in order to strengthen its control over this small country, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to seal the king of the ancient kingdom of Yelang with a golden seal, that is, to seal the official of the Han Dynasty to King Yelang.

And the envoy of the Han Dynasty was a person secretly cultivated in the court by the Zhong family.

At that time, in the process of sealing the golden seal, the king of Yelang Kingdom asked a question that has been laughing for the ages, this question is: Who is the greatest Han or me?

A small country in the west dares to be bigger than the Han Dynasty?

Since then, the idiom of Yelang arrogance has been famous through the ages.

It's just that when most people regarded this matter as a joke, the Zhong family's eyes were fixed on this Yelang Ancient Country.

Because, from the Yelang Ancient Kingdom, they saw the possibility of building a real thousand-year-old secret base in Lin Mountain!

Since that incident, the Zhong family secretly arranged manpower to enter the ancient country of Yelang, and arranged special 'door' talents to approach the king of Yelang, and constantly told the king of Yelang how powerful the Han Dynasty was, so that King Yelang had a deep fear of the Han Dynasty.

After that, the people of the Zhong family took the opportunity to propose that a country like Yelang that could threaten the border of the Han Dynasty would sooner or later be conquered and destroyed by the Han Dynasty!

When the Zhong family's analysis was extremely reasonable, and successfully made the king of the ancient kingdom of Yelang have a serious sense of crisis.

At this time, the Zhong family proposed a solution, that is, if you want not to be destroyed, you must leave a back road for yourself, and that back road is to build a new city in the secret mountain!

In this way, once the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty goes west, they can take advantage of the situation to hide in the city deep in the mountains and old forests, so that they can protect themselves!

The king of the ancient kingdom of Yelang was finally persuaded by the Zhong family, and listened to the advice of the Zhong family, and poured the power of a country into building a secret city in Linshan, which was not very far from them.

The ancient kingdom of Yelang was not a small country among many countries in Xiyi at that time, and King Yelang originally thought that it should not be difficult to build a city with the strength of the country, but half of the city was built, but he was surprised to find that it was more difficult to build a city in the forest and mountains where the 'communication' was extremely difficult, and it was even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

Just when King Yelang was shaken, the people of the Zhong family lobbied again, and secretly provided a lot of professional city building talents, plus half of the city had been built, at this time, it would be a pity to give up.

As a result, King Yelang could only grit his teeth and forcibly recruit men throughout the country to continue to build such a city in the deep mountains, which cost the country a serious drain.

It was not until the end of the Han Dynasty that the city in the deep mountains was completely completed, at this time, the ancient kingdom of Yelang was already at the end of the poor country, the consumption of men in the country was serious, the male 'female' was seriously unbalanced, and the 'female' was in surplus.

At this time, it caught up with the rebellion of a small country in the ancient country of Yelang. At that time, the king of the ancient country of Yelang felt that he had a way out, coupled with the decline of the Han Dynasty at that time, and the 'chaos' in the world had risen.

Once successful, it can replace the Han Dynasty, and even if it fails, there is already a way out.

So, the king of the ancient kingdom of Yoro sent troops to support the small kingdom on the neighboring side. ”

When Xiong Yu heard this, he had already vaguely guessed something, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
