A weeping willow grows alone on the top of the mountain, and the upside-down willow is like a cover, enveloping a square stone below. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info From the mottled bark of this weeping willow and the large and small tree holes on the thick body, you can see that it is really quite old.

A few days ago, during the battle between the two sides, the eagle banner of the Taiping army was tied to the top of its tree and fluttered high, or it was for this reason that he avoided the fate of being cut down.

When the grass grows and flies, and the spring flowers bloom, the willow is covered with luxuriant leaves, overlapping each other, and the ashlar inside is actually covered tightly, standing outside, you can only vaguely see the two figures inside, only occasionally when the wind comes, you can see clearly who the two people sitting cross-legged inside are.

That was the real owner of Shayang County, Mrs. Liu, and Qin Feng, the boss of the Taiping Army.

And a few meters away from the willow tree, standing were the four lords of Shayang County and the generals of the Taiping Army, Zhang Xiaocat, Wild Dog, Zou Ming, Dazhu and others.

At the foot of the mountain, the army is cleaning up the battlefield, for them, the Suncheon army is a poor clanging army, there is basically no trophy to recover, but there are mountains of corpses left behind, this season, if not cleaned up immediately, it is very easy to spread the plague.

The original defenses were all dismantled, turned into piles of fire, in the fire, Bibi peeled and burned the remains of the dead of the Shuntian army, no one cared who their names were, and no one cared about their old age, several soldiers lifted a dead body, shouted, threw the body into the fire, the fire was slightly darker, but immediately rose higher flames, in the air, a tormenting smell wafted around.

At the foot of Qianliu Mountain, on the bank of the Lai River, hundreds of such fires are burning, and countless corpses are disappearing in this fire, and the dead will not leave any information, because their ashes will soon become fertilizer in the fields, or become the food for the fish in the Lai River.

"This is war!" Old lady Liu looked at the raging fire at the foot of the mountain with complicated eyes, and there was a sad and compassionate look on her face: "I don't like war. The old man has lived most of his life, all in a peaceful environment, although over the years, the border has been fighting, but on the whole, we Shayang has always been very calm and comfortable. But now, everything has changed. ”

"Nobody likes war!" Qin Feng nodded, poured a bowl of water from a clay pot, and pushed it in front of Old Lady Liu, "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, that's the truth." ”

Picking up this rough bowl, Old Lady Liu shook his head with emotion: "Seriously, if it weren't for this war, a bowl like this, I really can't imagine that it would be in my hands, to put it mildly, the bowl that my family feeds the dog is more delicate than him." ”

Qin Feng laughed, "Old Lady Liu has been clothed and fed since she was a child, of course she won't use these rough guys, but I think that now in Shayang County, I'm afraid that there are many people, and they won't even need this." ”

"yes, damn war!" Old lady Liu sighed, craned her neck, and drank the water, "My dream has always been that Shayang County will never be disturbed by the war, and it will always be peaceful." ”

"If the skin doesn't exist, the hair will be attached?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "The general trend of the world is like this, I'm afraid that the old lady will cry out in vain, right?" Just like this war, if you don't go to find someone, people will come to you, Shayang County is rich and has a large population, and the so-called guilt is this reason. Mo Luo stared at this, Qi people also stared at here, Shayang County, it was destined not to be peaceful. ”

Old Lady Liu pondered for a moment and looked at Qin Feng: "If Shayang County is handed over to General Qin, what will General Qin do?" ”

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, looked up at Old Lady Liu, and for a while, he didn't reply.

Old lady Liu smiled and said: "General Qin don't be surprised, the old man has lived for decades, and there are still some ways to do it, although General Qin claims to be surnamed Li, but I still inquired about some interesting things." ”

"Old Lady Liu's ears and eyes are really well-informed, where did you get these news from the Qin people?" After being slightly stunned, Qin Feng had already regained his calm expression.

"Yes, where are the Qin people, I still have some friends." Old Lady Liu nodded, "Actually, since you appeared in Yanshan and captured Xiao'er alive, I was thinking, who are you?" Where did it come from? At first, I thought you were pretending to be Qi people, and your intention was just to seize Shayang County. ”

Qin Feng smiled.

"But then came the death of Kou Qun, I originally thought it was just a conspiracy of the Qi people, but from the comprehensive analysis of some information obtained later, you are definitely not Qi people."

"It seems that Old Lady Liu also has eyes and ears on the Qi people's side." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"When people live for a long time, they naturally know more friends and have a wider range of sources." Old Lady Liu laughed, "I'm strange, Shayang County is so big, where did you people come from?" Later, by chance, I learned about the Nanchu Death Camp, and also knew some things in the Luoying Mountains, and even knew that there was a remnant of the Death Camp whose whereabouts were unknown. ”

"According to the information I obtained, this team is led by a person named Zhang Xiaozheng, whoa, that's the one!" Through the upside-down willow, Mrs. Liu pointed to the kitten who was whispering and laughing with the wild dogs. "I specially sent people to the border army of the Qin State and learned more things, and sometimes, the money is still very useful, especially for the poor border army of the Qin State."

"Although General Qin has a pseudonym Li Feng, it is not a secret to me, who else can make Zhang Xiaozheng and Gan Wei, the two former generals of the death battalion, obey and obey?" Old lady Liu laughed and said: "The general is really a legendary figure, and the old man still hasn't figured out what happened in Beijing, what is going on?" ”

Qin Feng lowered his head, a strange expression flashed in his eyes, but he was noncommittal.

"Between life and death, after several turns in the Hades Palace, Qin Feng is gone."

"Understood, I understood!" Old lady Liu nodded, "Go and check these past events, the old man has no malicious intentions, I just want to know, what kind of person is the person I am about to entrust?" Whether you have the ability to ensure the safety of Shayang County, I hope General Qin can understand. ”

"Of course." Qin Feng smiled.

"But General Qin can rest assured, no third person knows about this matter except for me and my housekeeper Liu Bao, but General Qin, with all due respect, since you have chosen this path, sooner or later your identity will not be able to contain the fire in the paper, after all, there will be a day when it will be exposed, and when it really comes, how are you going to face it? I mean, Princess Zhaohua! ”

A hint of flushing flashed on Qin Feng's face, and he said after a while: "I've been walking on the edge of death, I haven't thought about this problem yet, maybe, maybe ......"

"I see!" Old lady Liu nodded slightly, "Anyway, it's a strange woman, anyway, the old man admires her so much." I hope that when you meet again in the future, you will have a good ending. ”

"I hope so!" Qin Feng smiled bitterly.

"General Qin, don't talk about these digressions, let's get down to business, if Shayang County is handed over to you, what are you going to do?" Old Lady Liu's face became serious. "The old man is already declining, but he is still at ease with Shayang County."

Qin Feng picked up the thick bowl in front of him and slowly took a sip of water, "Old lady, whether you admit it or not, this world has reached a world of great chaos, and the chaotic war between the four countries is about to break out. ”

Dipping his finger in the water, Qin Feng casually drew a simple diagram on the stone slab, "The State of Qi wants to dominate the world, and the new emperor of the State of Chu is precisely holding the same idea, the war between these two countries is on the verge of breaking out, it is inevitable that the strength of the State of Qin is weak, in this war, it will definitely help the State of Chu in the early stage, so as to make the strength of Qi and Chu as balanced as possible." For this reason, Emperor Qi launched the war against Vietnam, turning the original situation of the three kingdoms against Qi into a two-two confrontation, although it was a clever move, but it also made the Qin people see the opportunity. Emperor Qin didn't have great ambitions, next, he would vigorously help Chu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he would be strong in the war against Yue, they would try to swallow Yue, enhance their strength, and in the end, form a situation of three kingdoms competing for hegemony, and once Yue lost the war against Qin, the Qi people would immediately send troops to swallow Yue close to their territory. And Shayang County is now bearing the brunt. ”

Old Lady Liu's face was bitter, "According to your analysis, no matter how the situation changes, Yue Guo will not be spared!" ”

"Not bad!" Qin Feng nodded affirmatively, "The weak are always the first to be sacrificed in this game. ”

"Do you want to win in the chaos and eat from the tiger's mouth?" Old Lady Liu frowned, "But your current strength is not worth mentioning." ”

"We're on our way!" Qin Feng stared at Old Lady Liu, "Heroes emerge from troubled times, and the Yue Kingdom is destined to cease to exist in the near future, but we can take this opportunity to become stronger, Mo Luo also thinks so, but he has taken the wrong path, and he is destined to be the first to perish." ”

"If Shayang County wants to survive, the people of Shayang County, if they want to control their own destiny, first of all, they need a strong army, and the truth can never be said with words, but by fists. Only when your fists are hard enough will you be heard. Old lady Liu handed over Shayang County to me, and the first thing I did was to let Shayang County have an army that was enough to be feared. Whether it's alignment, or alignment. ”

"With the wealth of Shayang County, we can build a strong army, first attack Moluo, take Changyang County, and then go east to fight against the Qi State, trying to recover the lost territory."

"In the name of the Taipings?"

"The name can be Taiping Army, but in the beginning, we were still soldiers of Shayang County."

Old Lady Liu thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, you want to try your best to continue the existence of Yue Kingdom, and during this period, you will continue to expand your strength and encroach on the territory of Yue Kingdom." ”

"Yes, we need a banner of justice." Qin Feng smiled and said. "After owning Shayang County and Changyang County, we will have enough capital to bargain with people." (To be continued.) )
