Chapter 251 Wu Shi

The Jing River is like a giant python, lying across the north.

This python head is where Jitou Mountain is located. According to legend, Emperor Huang of Xuanyuan also climbed Jitou Mountain to worship the world and look at the mountains and rivers.

Ten years ago, after unifying the six kingdoms, the first stop of the first tour was Jitou Mountain.

The chicken head mountain is like a rooster who is raising his head to the dawn, standing tall with the land of Sanqin. The peaks are abrupt and the gullies are crisscrossed. In spring, the trees are lush and flowers are like brocade. The rivers and canals are gurgling, and the birds and birds in the mountains are chirping, making people feel relaxed and happy and forget all their worries.

At the turn of winter and spring, the earth rejuvenates and all things revives.

However, Jitou Mountain is still covered with snow, and is covered with silver like a beautiful woman. It stands between the mountains and rivers, adding to its charm.

At the foot of Jitou Mountain, there is a vast town called Wushi County (now Pingliang, Gansu).

In Wushi County, it no longer matters who the county magistrate is. What is important is that this town has a real owner, with a single name of the word "安". Wushi was originally from the Rongdi tribe, born in the Wu family, and was skilled in animal husbandry. He was the leading merchant in the north. Emperor Shihuang established Wushi County, and appointed Wushi as the Wushi King, so he was called Wushi, and had a prestigious position in the north.

During the lifetime of Emperor First Emperor, he only rewarded two civilians as kings.

One is Ba Jun Qin Qing, who Ying Zheng has respected throughout his life, and the other is the Wu family.

The northern land was originally where Rongdi was located, and the Wu family was descended from Rongdi, so its prestige in the northern land was not even comparable to that of the county magistrate.

He built a castle outside the Wushi County, called Wushi Castle, with thousands of servants.

The main industry of Wushifu is mainly animal husbandry. Therefore, in the northwest of Zhaowang City, to the east bank of the river, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses raised in the pastures of nearly 100,000 hectares of land. Even the First Emperor joked that the cattle, sheep in Wushifu should be based on grain.

It was such a shepherd who became a great man who could attend the emperor's banquet with his ministers.

In the first year of the Second Emperor, the tenth day of the first lunar month in 209 BC, Gai Nie Liqiu, master and disciple, came to the outside of Wushi Castle with caution.

The master and apprentice had a disheveled face and looked very embarrassed, and seemed to be no different from the beggar.

However, the servants who guarded the castle did not underestimate the two. After asking about the origin of Master Gai Nie's disciple, they quickly invited the two into the gatehouse, and then someone went to the castle to report. Every move showed the extremely good family tradition of Wushi.

Liqiu couldn't help but say, "Master, this Wu family has such a big temperament and a strict family tradition."

"Wu's family traveled around the world and became the current Wu's prince, whose vision and demeanor were of course not ordinary.

You don’t know that when I met Wu Shiwu, he had not yet made a fortune, but he already had the title of Xiao Mengchangjun. He was very generous and chivalrous. He wanted to invite me to be his disciple, but I refused. Unexpectedly... he still wanted to surrender to him."

Gai Nie couldn't help but sigh, as if he was sighing at the impermanence of fate.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. I saw a chubby man, like a meat ball, walking into the doorman as if rolling.

The person who came was about fifties and had gray hair.

A big round face, small eyes, hooked nose, wide mouth... The facial features are extremely inconsistent, and the smile on the round face makes people feel good.

"Brother Nie, but Brother Nie?"

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly, his tone was filled with excitement. Seeing the appearance of Master Gai Nie, he was stunned for the first time, and then ran up. He didn't care about the pungent smell on Gai Nie's body, and hugged Gai Nie, "It's you, it's you!

Just now, when the little guys said that an old friend of Yuci came to me, I thought it was you... I just didn't expect it! Brother Nie, when the late emperor imprisoned you in Mount Li, I ran around in many ways. But the late emperor was determined because of that person's affairs and ultimately failed to forgive him.

For many years, I have not found out about you, and even thought... I am so happy to see you now."

It can be seen that he was really happy. At least to Liqiu, these words were not false at all. Gai Nie was also quite moved and said deeply: "I regret not not listening to the advice of the Lord and the Lord, and even suffered this disaster. Nie is very grateful for the righteousness of the Lord and the Lord.

The people who are in trouble are here to join us and ask the Lord to take them in."

"I'm not going to take it in. I'm so happy that I'm not going to be happy."

Wu Shiwu nodded repeatedly, "I just came back from Xianyang and heard about Mount Li. I was about to ask someone to inquire, but you came. It's so good. You can live with me first and rest for a long time. After the government is stable, I will try to clear you of your crime... If it really doesn't work, there is still a ranch in the northwest of me, and the sea is vast. Brother Nie, you don't have to worry too much about this."

Wu Shi's pleasure made Gai Nie have the urge to die for his confidant.

After bowing deeply, he whispered: "June Gao Yi, Nie is very grateful."

Wu Shin-chan grabbed Gai Nie's hand and looked at Li Qiu again, "Let's go and wash away the bad luck of this body first, let's drink 300 cups tonight.

By the way, I ordered someone to buy Yan wine from Bajun for six years, and I believe it will be for your taste."

Gai Nie is from Yuci County, Taiyuan County. He likes strong wine, and likes the taste of Yanjiu that burns like a fire in his mouth. However, since the destruction of Yanzhao, the recipe for this Yanjiu has almost been lost. After Gai Nie was imprisoned in Mount Li, he has no chance to taste the taste of Yanjiu.

When I heard that there was Yan wine here in Wushi's house, Gai Nie was overjoyed.

Although I don’t understand the meaning of the word “Cancun”, I still am happy and nodded repeatedly.

The servants of his family boiled the water and asked the master and disciple to wash it happily. That night, Wu Shiwu placed wine in the fort and got drunk with Gai Nie.

"You can leave in this Wushi Castle, Brother Nie, you have no worries about it.

There is just a place you need to pay attention to. You must not get close to the courtyard in the northwest of the fort. As long as you are within a three hundred steps of the courtyard, life and death will not be discussed. If something really happens, I will not help you. The rest can do whatever you want, just like living at home.

Just tell me what I want and I will try to do it.”

Gai Nie took advantage of the wine to say, "Mr. I have always devoted my love to the sword. I have no hobbies except this Yanjiu. How about asking me to prepare two good swords for me? I want to take this opportunity to train Liqiu well. You also know that I have taught countless disciples in my life, but only Liqiu is the only one who has obtained my true teachings."

"What's the difficulty? There are many famous ancient Yue swords collected in my Ku Mansion. If Brother Nie likes it, just take them away."

The two of them talked and started to get drunk.

Liqiu helped Gai Nie back to the room, while Wu Shiwu lay directly in the hall and slept...

In this way, Master Gai Nie finally settled down.

Practicing sword and martial arts every day can make life feel comfortable. However, from Wushi's mouth, they heard a lot of news about the Qin Dynasty.

Shortly after Hu Hai ascended the throne, he took up the butcher knife.

And this time, his butcher knife slashed at his brothers and sisters. He first seized his brother Ying Jianglu's military power, and then quickly imprisoned Jianglu. Under the instigation of Zhao Gao and others, Hu Hai mercilessly cut off his twelve brothers' heads on the streets of Xianyang.

Nine sisters dismembered five horses in Du County (now southeast of Xi'an).

Three other brothers were forced to commit suicide... Feng Quji and his son were killed in prison, Meng Yi's whole family was beheaded, and the three tribes were raged.

When Gai Nie heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Since ancient times, some cruel people have not been able to let their brothers and sisters go like Hu Hai.

Wu Shi's round and fat face no longer had a smile. He explained: "Although Your Majesty was favored by the late emperor, his mother was born in a lowly and could not be cared for among the princes. Now, the killing is aroused by the mentality of revenge. But more so, it is because the princes were skeptical about the last emperor's will. Especially Prince Jiang Lu, the reaction was the most intense, so he could not have a good end.

However, the method of killing the left prime minister's family was too fierce... The three tribes of the Meng family made countless heroes feel very disappointed. The current left prime minister Li Si can still assist the government and make the government's principles not broken. But if Li Si leaves, who can assist His Majesty in a stable position?

If this continues, the five hundred years of foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty will be destroyed by His Majesty!”

This is what it means in Ushi Castle, Ushi Castle can speak like this. If he changed the place, he would never speak so freely.

"Brother Nie, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for some time to make your innocence... Now the government is controlled by Zhao Gao and Li Si, and it still needs to be observed.

If Your Majesty continues to do this, I don’t think there is any need to worry about cleaning up the charges. At that time, whether you stay with me or go outside the border. If I really want to go back to my hometown, I can find a way to solve it. I didn’t expect that... Your Majesty was like this? Although the late emperor’s methods were fierce, they were not as cruel as Your Majesty. I am really worried, what will happen to the future of the Qin Dynasty?"

Wu Shi was worried, but Gai Nie Liqiu and the others had an indescribable pleasure.

It is one thing to respect the First Emperor, but the hatred for the Qin Dynasty is another thing. Gai Nie thought for a while, "Since that's the case, let's take a look."

Wu Shin nodded and stood up and left.

Gai Nie took Liqiu to the garden of the castle, took two swords, handed Liqiu one, and started practicing in the garden.

After practicing for a while, Gai Nie felt a little tired and went back to rest.

Liqiu was practicing sword alone in the garden, only to sweat, but she was very comfortable all over her body.

Putting away the sword, Liqiu picked up a blue robe from a bluestone and covered her body, turning around and walked out of the garden. At the entrance of the garden, there were two paths. One was leading to the castle hall, and the other was heading northwest of the castle. At this time, it was dusk and it was a little dark. Liqiu was about to go back to his room, when a "meow" sound suddenly sounded in his ears, which immediately attracted Liqiu's attention.

Looking back, a kitten appeared on the trail leading to the northwest.

It should be a purebred lion cat... its hair is white and its neck is slender, which looks quite similar to a lion. It is not too big, but it is also strong, its tail is thick and big, and it looks like an elegant lady when walking. The most interesting thing is that the kitten has one eye and one blue eye, which looks very weird. It is this feeling of mixing weirdness and elegance that immediately attracted Li Qiu's attention.

When I was a prison slave in Mount Li, there was also a kitten in the camp, a Bashu cat.

Liqiu fell in love with the cat until it died, but unfortunately he disappeared later, which made Liqiu feel sad.

Now that he saw this kitten, Liqiu couldn't help but feel pity. He hurriedly squatted down and wanted to attract the kitten over. The kitten just glanced at him, then turned around and left. Liqiu was usually steady, but it was not without the childlike nature, so he followed the kitten and chased him.

A cat is in front and a person is in the back.

Liqiu unknowingly came to outside a small courtyard.

The kitten rushed to a tree. Liqiu stopped and was about to shout. At this moment, a warning sign arose in his heart.

A sharp roar came from his ears, and Liqiu instinctively flipped over the air, and a sharp arrow brushed his body and passed by.

With a sound of puff, the sharp arrow broke the small tree as thick as a bowl. The force contained in the sharp arrow actually broke the small tree from it... Before Liqiu could stand firmly, he observed the situation. The sharp arrow came again. The two arrows were almost connected front and back, with a strong force and extremely accurate.

Arrows in a row!

Liqiu had never seen such archery techniques, but he had heard from Gai Nie.

His feet were weak and his body twisted strangely, and he avoided the second arrow, but the third arrow had arrived and could no longer dodge. Liqiu was quick to learn and threw the long sword in his hand out of his hand. With a clang, the sword flew away the sharp arrow and flew away from him. Liqiu was so scared that he hurriedly retreated. At this moment, four or five men dressed in a cabin rushed out of the courtyard.

"The Lord and Hou are merciless. That is the master's friend, and there is no malice."

There was no sound in the courtyard, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the lion cat jumped out of the tree and ran to the yard like a flying. A crack was opened in the yard, and the kitten suddenly flashed into the room. Immediately afterwards, Liqiu vaguely heard a girl talking: "Damn Xiaoba, where did you go?"

"Mr. Qiu, please leave!"

A servant stepped forward and said respectfully: "Except for the castle master, anyone who is close to the range within 300 steps, will kill him... Please do not stay any longer, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

At this time, Liqiu saw the little tree that was shot clearly, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
To be continued...
